Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 173 The Demon-Slaying Sword

A few days later, at another auction.

"A second-hand, third-tier, low-grade magic sword, the 'Evil-Slaying Sword,' is 90% new with almost no wear. This sword is incomparably sharp and possesses the ability to slay evil spirits and destroy souls. It is extremely effective against evil, malevolent spirits, and demons. It has no weapon spirit. However, if it is properly refined, it may be possible for a weapon spirit to develop in time."

On stage, the auctioneer held up a dark red longsword, showing it to everyone around while loudly promoting it.

Although it was tens of meters away, the invisible sharpness of it still rushed towards us.

"Since it's secondhand, the price isn't high. The starting bid is fifty high-grade spirit stones, and each bid increases by one high-grade spirit stone."

Sixty!

"Seventy!"

……

"One hundred!"

"The offer for box number D is 101 yuan. Any higher bids?"

One hundred and two!

When the price climbed to 100 pieces, only two or three people were bidding, and the price increase became one piece at a time, until it finally settled at 118 pieces.

"Congratulations to the Geng-class VIP box for winning the Demon-Slaying Sword!" the auctioneer shouted.

Chen Li leaned back in his chair, let out a long breath, and felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.

Soon a man and a woman came in and brought the items for auction.

Chen Li began the inspection, taking out a long sword from the sword box and drawing it from its sheath.

The longsword was dark red, its surface smooth as a mirror, without a trace of runes. It looked sharp and radiant, and even before any spiritual power was infused into it, an invisible sharpness surged around the blade, blurring the air around it.

"This is no ordinary weapon; it's a truly fine sword!" Chen Li thought with a surge of excitement.

He didn't dare to test it here. After a quick inspection, he settled the bill with the auction house staff, then put the sword and its box into his storage bag and quickly left the auction house.

After leaving the city, he wandered around for a while, not sensing anyone following him. He then left Stanley City and quickly used a rainbow transformation technique to fly into the sky.

After flying for hundreds of miles, seeing no one around, his tense mind finally relaxed a little.

Near such a large city.

While Golden Core cultivators aren't exactly commonplace, you can encounter them quite often, making the pressure immense.

"I only have 40 high-grade spirit stones left. Most of my savings have been gone..."

These days he's bought more than just third-tier magic swords. Prices in Chizhu City are generally cheaper and more affordable than in Luanluo City, and many items are not available in Luanluo City. Even with rational restraint, he still unknowingly bought quite a lot.

Qi-Harmony Pill: Used to assist in the early stages of Foundation Establishment cultivation; its medicinal effects are much stronger than the Qi-Gathering Pill of the True Soul Sect.

The price is five medium-grade spirit stones per bottle.

He bought 120 bottles.

This single transaction cost six high-grade spirit stones.

Cloud-Walking Boots: Tier 2, low-grade, made of Tier 3 animal hide, with its own air-walking rune array, allowing one to walk on air as if on flat ground.

Price: Five high-grade spirit stones.

Of course, what Chen Li values ​​most is the durability of the shoes.

Normally, if we were to say what breaks down the fastest...

That would undoubtedly be shoes.

He is too strong and has too much explosive power.

Even during daily practice, they are barefoot, and they basically change their shoes once a month, rarely wearing the same pair for two months.

I'm buying a good pair of shoes this time; they should last me a long time.

In addition, there were gifts such as robes and jewelry bought for Zhou Hong and Zhang Shuniang, but these were all first-tier items and not very expensive. In total, they were only worth about one or two high-grade spirit stones.

"My purse is getting emptier and emptier, but luckily I still have a lot of second-tier magic artifacts and robes in my storage bag. Even if I discount the price by half, I can still sell them for fifty or sixty high-grade spirit stones!" He secretly calculated in his heart.

Having been away from home for half a month, Chen Li couldn't help but feel homesick. He flew away from the Fire Cloud Sect and passed through sixteen other sects. After flying for two days, he finally saw Luanluo Mountain.

"Finally back!" he breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Wei, with her sharp eyes, quickly spotted Chen Li entering the formation and excitedly shouted, "Master is back! Master is back!"

Two familiar figures rushed out of the main hall.

"Husband!" "Why did it take so long this time?" Zhou Hong asked with concern.

"Hehe, what I need to buy isn't some common stuff, you can't just go there and buy it, you have to wait!" Chen Li walked in with a smile and said, "How's it been lately? Nothing's happened, has it?"

“After you left, my sister and I didn’t go out often, but it didn’t seem like anything serious happened,” Zhang Shuniang said, supporting Chen Li’s arm.

"That's good! That's good!"

The two women helped the travel-worn Chen Li sit down, and Bai Wei silently withdrew.

Chen Li recounted his experiences and interesting stories from his long journey, eliciting gasps of surprise from the two women.

"Is there really such a tall tree?" Zhang Shuniang asked, her eyes widening as she spoke of the tree, giving me a look that said, "Don't lie to me."

"I'll definitely take you there to see it when I have the chance!" Chen Li said with a smile.

After the three of them shared their feelings of parting, Chen Li took out the gifts he had bought.

The two women were immediately delighted, but then they insincerely complained that Chen Li was wasting money.

That night, Chen Li coaxed and tricked the two women into his room, where he enjoyed the pleasure of having two women at once.

……

early morning.

The room still smelled of yesterday's pleasure.

Chen Li moved the arms and legs off him, quietly got up, put on his robe, and walked into the quiet room feeling refreshed.

He took out the Demon-Slaying Sword from his storage bag.

Earlier on the way, he was afraid that this third-tier magic sword would cause too much of a commotion, so as a precaution, he had kept it in his storage bag without refining it. Now that he had some free time, he drew the sword, threw away the scabbard, and carefully channeled his spiritual power into it.

Discovering the anomaly was difficult.

When spiritual energy enters the sword, it's like sinking into a quagmire, making it impossible to move an inch.

"Why is it so difficult to refine this third-tier magic sword?" Chen Li frowned slightly.

But then he remembered that this was a second-hand magic sword, and he immediately understood.

Refining is the process of leaving one's own spiritual imprint.

Although the secondhand magic sword auctioned had its original owner's spiritual imprint erased, some traces of it were still clearly present.

These remnants might be a trivial matter for a Golden Core cultivator, but for Chen Li, who was at the third level of Foundation Establishment, it required some painstaking effort, though it was only a bit troublesome.

The spiritual energy was rapidly dissipating.

It was quickly consumed by more than half.

Chen Li had no choice but to take out the porcelain bottle and swallow two Qi Gathering Pills to replenish his spiritual power.

The Demon-Slaying Sword was finally refined when its spiritual power was almost exhausted.

The spiritual energy flowed freely through the sword, without any obstruction. The sword's colorless sharpness surged forth as if it were tangible, causing the air to distort and blur.

"This sword energy is a little shorter than the Jade Sword, but it is more solid."

Chen Li's heart stirred, and he walked to the rock wall.

With a casual wave.

The sword tip flashed past the wall, just an inch away.

Like gliding through the air.

Smooth.

Smooth.

Silent!

Accompanied by a barely perceptible "hiss" sound!

A crack as thin as a hair was clearly visible on the rock face.

"What a terrifying power!"

"The thick earthen shield commonly used in Foundation Establishment is probably no match for this casual sword strike," Chen Li mused to himself.

P.S.: Sorry, something came up at home these past few days!
