"But I don't take care of idle people. If you want to follow me, you have to prove that you have real talent."
Seeing that Shangguan Wenxuan agreed so easily, Lee Shaoyu suddenly felt that he was being too hasty, so he hurriedly made a request.
"I wonder how Commander wants to verify whether I have real talent or not?"
Shangguan Wenxuan did not want to miss this opportunity, so he asked directly. Clearly, he wanted to give it a try. However, this question stopped Lee Shaoyu. He didn't know the art of the Inner Hidden Gate, and even if Shangguan Wenxuan tried to fool him, he wouldn't know it. Therefore, he turned his eyes to Zhao Qian.
"Commander, there is a nest left behind by the Golden Roc Beast King in the Setting Sun Forest, which has been dead for many years. There are Demonic Beasts all over the place, and they are all forbidden by formations. If you want to test Mr. Shangguan's skill, we can go there and test it out."
Zhao Qian said in a deep voice.
"The nest of the Golden Roc Beast King? Are there many good things inside?"
Lee Shaoyu nodded and asked Zhao Qian.
"It is said that the Golden Roc Beast King had already stepped into the Celestial Stage realm before his death. Moreover, our world hadn't deteriorated to such an extent when he was still alive. At that time, the life expectancy of the Cultivator was much longer than it is now. Therefore, he had collected countless treasures in his life. After his death, all of them were left in the nest. Therefore, many explorers had come to this place like a flock of ducks."
Zhao Qian said in a deep voice.
Since there are so many treasures, why didn't the city lord organize anyone to take them out for him? "
Lee Shaoyu asked in puzzlement.
"The Golden Roc Beast King set a ban before he died. He left two entrances in the Sunset Forest, which corresponded to the Cultivators of Spirit Gathering and Spirit Void Realm respectively. The Cultivators of the other realms can't enter at all. Moreover, this nest is in the Sunset Forest. Lord Beast Emperor only treated this nest as a place to sharpen his juniors. He has no intention of destroying it. Naturally, the city lord will not do anything."
Zhao Qian explained the reason behind it.
Alright. We will go and explore it in ten days. We can also test Shangguan Wenxuan's ability, "Zhao Qian said.
Lee Shaoyu nodded immediately and decided to explore and see if he could get some benefits. After that, Lee Shaoyu found Xue Wanqian and told him what he thought. He got Xue Wanqian's approval and recommended Ling Feng to go with Lee Shaoyu. Lee Shaoyu naturally agreed. With one more helper, he would have a higher chance of winning.
After returning to his courtyard, Lee Shaoyu contacted the Oracle and exchanged ten Spirit Condensation Pills from the Oracle. This was a kind of Pill that could help Cultivators speed up the condensation of True Spirits. Each one of them cost 2000 contribution points, which made Lee Shaoyu's heart ache again.
When he was cultivating the Tianhuang Potent Body Spell, his Contribution Values were almost depleted. Later on, he did not hesitate to offend a few major powers and killed a few sect masters to accumulate one hundred and sixty thousand contribution points. Yet, he used twenty thousand out of ten Spirit Condensation Pills. These contribution points were really not easy to earn.
However, Lee Shaoyu had no choice. He had to increase his strength as soon as possible. Putting aside Hsingyue Qing's wedding date being set two years later, he would definitely return to Dongxuan State by then. There would probably be people coming to hunt him down even in Dongji Stage. Having the strength to protect his life was the most important thing.
And his low-grade king rank medicinal Spirit Sword was also somewhat unable to keep up with his footsteps now. He had to change a weapon as soon as possible.
"Divine Envoy, can you guys customize spiritual artifacts?"
Lee Shaoyu contacted the Divine Emissary again. Although there were some King-tier spiritual artifacts and even saint-level spiritual artifacts in the God's Chosen Order, they were all finished products. It was not entirely suitable for him to use them. Moreover, the better ones were quite expensive. It would be better to make one.
"Sure, but your current authority can only be custom-made king-grade spiritual artifacts."
The Oracle answered.
"Authority? What do you mean?"
Lee Shaoyu asked, puzzled. He had never heard the Oracle mention anything about authority before.
"You are only the most ordinary person chosen, so there is a limit to what you can exchange for. If you want to exchange for something higher, you must obtain higher authority, and you must complete a specific mission to obtain authority."
"Yes," the Oracle replied.
"You're saying that there are more things that can be exchanged for in the Heavenly Selection Token now?"
Lee Shaoyu couldn't help but be shocked. The things that could be exchanged for in the Heavenly Selection Token were very precious in the Heavenly-sword Continent. However, judging from the Oracle's words, there were more good things that had yet to be unlocked.
"When you obtain more authority, you can exchange for many things that you can't imagine. Of course, you will have to pay a sufficient price. We can talk about this after you reach the Air-manage Stage realm. Now, let's talk about the spiritual weapon that you've ordered."
Clearly, the Oracle didn't want to talk about this anymore. He told Lee Shaoyu.
"I want to make a High Grade King Grade Spirit Sword."
Lee Shaoyu said.
"No problem. That's simple. Forty thousand contribution points. Write down what you need. I'll help you contact them."
The Oracle agreed.
"What!? 40,000 contribution points? The most expensive king-grade spirit artifact in the God's Chosen Token only has eight thousand contribution points. A custom-made spirit artifact costs forty thousand contribution points!"
Lee Shaoyu could not help being furious. This was too expensive.
"Then you can go and exchange for one."
The divine envoy said coldly. He didn't even try to persuade Lee Shaoyu to stay.
"Okay, forty thousand then."
Lee Shaoyu gritted his teeth and said. Although forty thousand contribution points wasn't cheap, it was still much cheaper than finding an artificer in Heavenly-sword Continent. He could go to Solitary Village to find Blacksmith Wu to make another one, but it was already too late. Plus, it was not convenient for him to cross Dongxuan State with his current status.
"I want to exchange for a spiritual weapon that can defend against soul attacks, but why can't I find it?"
Lee Shaoyu asked the Divine Emissary again. Most of the Cultivators he had come into contact with were Spirit Gathering Stage and above. It was common for him to face soul Arcane Art attacks. Therefore, Lee Shaoyu was prepared to exchange for a spiritual weapon that could provide defense for the True Spirit, but he couldn't find it in the God's Chosen Order.
"We won't provide you with a soul type defensive spiritual weapon for now. You will need the right to level up if you want to obtain it."
replied the Oracle.
"What can I do if I want to level up right now?"
Lee Shaoyu asked, puzzled. He didn't expect the Oracle to give him such an answer that would limit the supply of soul defense spiritual artifacts.
"You can upgrade your God's Chosen Token if you kill enough of the chosen ones."
"Yes," the Oracle replied.
"I understand. These are the spirit artifacts I need. I'll also exchange them for three Imminent Skyline Dao Talismans and a scroll of high-grade Arcane Art Thunder Light Lock."
Lee Shaoyu nodded slightly and exchanged for two more items. The Imminent Skyline Dao Talisman was an upgraded version of the Earth Escape Talisman. After using it, it could instantly appear hundreds of miles away. It was a life-saving weapon, and each of them would contribute 500 contribution points. The Thunder Light Lock was a type of auxiliary Arcane Art. It could release six bolts of lightning to seal the opponent's movements. Its effect was similar to the Void Underworld Lock from before, and it was worth 10,000 contribution points.
A spatial vortex appeared in front of Lee Shaoyu. Three yellow Dao Talismans and a scroll of Arcane Art appeared in front of Lee Shaoyu. Lee Shaoyu then placed the Spirit Tool requirement he needed into the spatial vortex and disappeared.
There was no god messenger that didn't provide him with a soul defensive spirit weapon.
The doubt in Lee Shaoyu's mind didn't disappear. Instead, it was running at high speed. Lee Shaoyu quickly got a piece of information from this incident. The Oracles mainly controlled themselves through their own True Spirits. If he had a soul-type defensive spirit artifact, then the Oracles might not be able to control him anymore. That was why they didn't provide him with soul-type defensive spirit artifacts.
Previously, Prof. Ghost had said that the grade of the god messenger was not as high as his. Moreover, every thousand years, ten thousand chosen ones would come to Heavenly-sword Continent. In other words, there were at least ten thousand god messengers. To be able to refine in such a large quantity, the grade of the weapons in Heavenly-sword Continent should not be too high. At most, they should be at the king grade!
Thinking up to here, Lee Shaoyu could not help but think of a way to get rid of the god messenger's control. That was to find someone to forge a soul-type king-grade defensive spirit artifact, and stop the god messenger from killing him at the crucial moment!
However, it was impossible to refine it now. This matter had to wait for an opportunity, because forging a soul type defensive spirit artifact was much more difficult than ordinary defensive spirit artifacts. Artificers who had this kind of method were as rare as phoenix and phoenix in the entire Heavenly-sword Continent. Even if it was a king grade soul type defensive spirit artifact, it could only be successfully refined by the Sky-rank's artificers.
Even Armament Peak in the Dongxuan State did not have any refiners of the Sky-rank, so soul type defensive spirit artifacts were extremely precious. Naturally, they were not cheap either. Lee Shaoyu did not have the financial and connections right now.
He first cultivated the Thunder Light Lock Arcane Art. Due to studying the relationship between the Falling Star Sword Technique and the Thunder Light Steps, Lee Shaoyu's comprehension of the Dao of Thunder and the Dao of Light had already reached a certain level as well. * Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Therefore, it could be said that he was very familiar with the Thunder Light Lock now. It only took him a day to master it.
Because Lee Shaoyu had consumed a Spirit Condensation Pill, his True Spirit had become more solid. The little person sitting cross-legged in his sea of consciousness had become more and more real. His Soul Power had also improved, and his cultivation had advanced to the intermediate Spirit Gathering Stage realm in an orderly manner.
Eating a Spirit Condensation Pill every day, he would be able to reach the intermediate Spirit Gathering Stage realm in ten days' time. Once the soul fragments in his body were completely condensed, Lee Shaoyu would be able to step into the Spiritual Void Stage realm.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. It was time for everyone to set out for the nest of Peng King. Everyone had already gathered in Lee Shaoyu's courtyard.
