The Primordial Law

Chapter 320 The Strange Staff

"You can't cultivate the Dao, but you can release and store magical artifacts," Li Weiyi explained patiently.

Sikong Jingyuan cursed in a very vulgar way, then roared, "You're asking for death!"

Li Weiyi's eyes sharpened, and he raised the Yellow Dragon Sword above his head, frantically channeling his internal energy into the sword.

"Wow!"

Nine Daoist runes appeared on the sword, and the tip of the sword attracted bolts of lightning.

Upon reaching the Dao Seed Realm, the Yellow Dragon Sword became even more wondrous.

The Taoist inscriptions on the sword are not scriptures, but rather the Six Jia Secret Incantations of Taoism, which emerge from within the sword.

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi crouched down and slashed horizontally with his sword.

With a thunderous roar, sword light and lightning shot out.

Those ghost generals who accompanied Sikong Jingyuan were like bubbles; seven or eight of them burst in an instant, and even their formation couldn't stop them.

far away.

Erfeng led a swarm of bone-corroding miasma mosquitoes, which swept across the sky and stormed into Sikong Jingyuan's Dao Heart Outer Manifestation area, breaking down the Hundred Ghosts Formation.

"call!"

A chilling wind blew, and ghostly clouds surged.

The sound of battle flags echoed in the wind.

A towering, fifty-zhang-tall Yin Ghost Commander came running at top speed. Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao stood on its left and right shoulders respectively, one holding a sword and shield, the other with a bow and arrow.

With the troops changing hands, it's clear that Sikong Ce and Sikong Qin are in grave danger.

Faced with this perilous situation, Sikong Jingyuan felt a chill run through his body. He regained his senses, immediately withdrew his Daoist mind and external manifestations and the ghost general, and used his escape technique to plunge his body into the swamp.

"boom!"

Li Wei cleaved the swamp in two with a single sword strike, as if parting the sea.

The sword mark was ten feet deep.

Unfortunately, it was too late; he escaped.

Li Weiyi immediately released his telekinetic energy to explore the surroundings.

The two phoenixes followed Sikong Jingyuan's aura, flying two or three miles in a certain direction. However, the aura stopped there and vanished without a trace.

Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao also searched, but to no avail.

"Damn it, they escaped again! When I get back, I'll learn a powerful escape technique. A way to save my life is more important than anything else." Qi Xiao's chest heaved, he was furious.

Li Weiyi maintained a good attitude and laughed, "Sikong Jingyuan's cultivation is far superior to ours. If he wants to fight against us and capture him, we will pay a terrible price. Once Tuoba reaches the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm, we will join forces to block all his escape routes and ensure that he cannot escape."

Tuoba Butuo said, "A person like Sikong Jingyuan, at the fifth or sixth level of the Dao Seed Realm, is not an easy task to capture or kill. Let alone us? Brother Wei, what is your cultivation level? I feel that you have been on the winning side the whole time you fought him."

"It was all thanks to the soldiers and Taoist arts that I caught him off guard. Besides, I am a peak three-star spirit master with profound spiritual power. Who says a spirit master can't fight against all odds?"

Li Weiyi looked at her left hand, feeling excruciating pain.

Even with the Blood Handprint Demon Armor protecting him, his palm was still injured and torn open when he retrieved the Golden Ancient Mirror.

However, the thought of acquiring a seventh-grade artifact with a hundred characters, which could be sold for at least a million Yongquan coins, immediately put him in a good mood.

After putting away the Yellow Dragon Sword, Li Weiyi asked, "Did those two old guys escape too?"

"One escaped, and one was captured."

Tuoba Butuo, having exhausted his magical energy, felt that Sikong Jingyuan must have truly escaped far away, so he stopped activating the Ghost Banner and retrieved the Yin Ghost Commander back into the banner.

Open the boundary bag and release Sikong Ce.

Sikong Ce's skin was charred black by the cold fire of Turin, and he was severely injured and knocked unconscious. Sikong Qin was already injured when he used his escape technique, so he could only flee alone.

Although the Yin Ghost Commander is powerful, his attack methods are limited. A martial artist at the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm cannot be stopped from escaping.

Li Weiyi took all the valuables from Sikong Ce: "Capturing one person is already quite good! A master at the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm is very valuable. Tuoba, he's yours for now!"

"clear."

Tuoba Butuo chuckled maliciously and broke Sikong Ce's limbs one by one.

This is the safest method for dealing with martial arts masters as prisoners.

"We've actually managed to capture a martial artist at the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm! Our Qi family's top expert is only one realm higher than him," Qi Xiao said with a smile.

Li Weiyi quickly replenished his magical energy through breathing exercises and asked, "How long have we been inside the Dark Flower Swamp?"

"About four days!" Qi Xiao said.

Li Weiyi secretly calculated in his mind, then asked, "How was the harvest?"

"We've collected three Meditation Flowers, but haven't found any Spirit Platform Star Stone fragments yet," Qi Xiao said.

“I have gathered three flowers of meditation and a thousand-year-old herb.”

Tuoba Butuo took out a palm-sized, jet-black medicinal herb, resembling a short, chubby child, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance and exuding a rich life force. He handed this thousand-year-old herb to Li Weiyi, knowing that raising seven strange insects consumed a great deal of resources.

Then, he took out the rusty spear: "I don't quite understand this thing, but it should be something special."

After Qi Xiao took it, he almost sank into the swamp. It was too heavy, weighing more than 30,000 jin.

It is indeed no ordinary object. Even when activated with magical energy, it produces no response.

"can't read!"

He shook his head and handed it to Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi was prepared; the magical energy beneath his feet condensed into clouds, supporting and carrying his body. He grasped the rusty spear and also channeled his magical energy into it. But it was like a dead iron; his magical energy couldn't penetrate it.

Tuoba Butuo said, "This spear and the thousand-year-old elixir were both found underground, three hundred miles deep in the Black Swamp of the Underworld Flowers. That area is very strange..."

Qi Xiao said, "It should just be a spear made of extremely dense metal."

"This spear was forged with great care. It is exactly one zhang long, not an inch more or less, and weighs 33,333 jin."

As a spiritualist, Li Weiyi is very sensitive to length and weight.

When setting up an array, a formation master cannot add or subtract even a fraction of an inch. Similarly, when refining pills, an alchemist cannot use the wrong ingredients, not even a fraction of an inch more or less.

Li Weiyi looked at the spearhead, which was exactly one foot long, very sharp, and had two ears like human ears.

Wiping away the rust with my hand revealed some blurry star trails underneath, which seemed familiar.

Then I looked at the spear's tail...

The spearhead is hollow, tubular, and irregular.

I don't know if it was designed this way on purpose, or if there was something else inside.

Li Weiyi's heart stirred, and he mobilized his mental power, using the Golden Crow Flame to prepare to refine the spear and see if he could melt it.

"Chichi!"

The golden crow's flames enveloped the spear.

A strange thing happened: the rusty spear was rapidly absorbing Li Weiyi's mental energy.

Li Weiyi was surprised and poured all his mental energy into it.

Gradually, the foot-long spearhead brightened, and the star trails became clearer. The same star trails appeared above the heads of the three people, covering a large area.

"Could this be a magic staff of a mind mage?" Qi Xiao exclaimed in surprise.

The magical artifacts used by martial arts practitioners are incredibly diverse and varied.

However, the Nian Master's artifacts are extremely rare, and each one is very precious.

Talismans and array flags cannot be considered magical artifacts for mind cultivators, as martial arts practitioners can also activate and use them.

Li Weiyi swung his spear, but the brilliance on the spearhead and the star trails above it instantly dissipated, no power erupting from it.

"It should be a staff... to be precise, a combination of a spear and a staff, but it seems to be missing a section, making it unable to unleash its power."

Li Weiyi sensed the extraordinary nature of the spear and asked, "Tuoba, where did you find it? If you can find another piece, I'll trade you the Ghost Flag."

Next, he must use his identity as a Spiritualist to conceal his martial arts skills as much as possible.

Fighting Sikong Jingyuan, there's no need to worry about revealing anything; you can intimidate him. However, if a powerful figure from the Longevity Realm is watching, the vast difference in martial arts realm and combat strength will definitely cause considerable trouble.

A handy staff would greatly enhance his combat power as a spirit master, enabling him to truly overcome adversity.

Tuoba Butuo laughed and said, "There's no need to exchange it. Brother Weiyi, just take it. If it really is a magic staff, I can't use it! Besides... do you think I can handle a treasure like the Ghost Flag? I think you can't handle it either, Brother Weiyi."

Only after activating the Ghost Flag did I realize how extraordinary it truly was.

With his cultivation at the third level of the Dao Seed Realm, Tuoba Butuo's Yin Ghost Commander was already powerful enough to rival a weaker expert at the fifth level of the Dao Seed Realm.

Moreover, one can fight alongside them.

However, it consumes a great deal of magical energy.

Tuoba Butuo said Li Weiyi couldn't handle it because, to this day, no one knows the upper limit of the Ghost Banner's power. How could Palace Master An and Venerable Yao not have considered using it?

On the bright side, the reason they haven't spoken yet is twofold: firstly, the arrogance of the strong, and secondly, they haven't yet encountered a crisis they can't handle.

If you think about the worst, the possibilities become even greater.

Tuoba Butuo said, "Brother Weiyi, there's no need to be reserved. Just for the sake of saving your life, you can accept this item without any guilt. Besides, if we can't find the other piece, it's just an inanimate object, worthless."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony! I'll make it up to you elsewhere in the future."

Li Weiyi put away his spear and said, "Let's go, let's go to that strange area you mentioned and search it again! I want to see just how strange it is."

Qi Xiao was somewhat worried: "Sikong Jingyuan has escaped, he will definitely return to the Kurong Palace to ask for powerful help. Wouldn't it be too dangerous for us to stay in the Black Swamp of the Underworld Flower?"

Tuoba Butuo nodded: "If we return to the main altar first, we will be the ones in the right. If we let Sikong Jingyuan go back first, he will surely distort the truth and make a big fuss about Sikong Ce."

Li Weiyi said, "Your concerns are not without merit. But have you considered that Sikong Jingyuan probably also thinks we will return to the main altar immediately? He went ahead, and we can't catch up. If we rush back to the main altar now, it will probably be more dangerous."

Li Weiyi had many ways to protect himself, so he wasn't too afraid. He added, "There's another possibility! Sikong Jingyuan is a divine son, and a divine son whose cultivation is higher than ours."

"He wouldn't have slunk back like that. Not only did he suffer a crushing defeat, but I also took the treasure mirror away. It's too embarrassing! If I were him, and I wasn't injured, I would definitely hide in the shadows and make a comeback."

"His concealment skills and escape techniques are quite remarkable."

Tuoba Butuo nodded slightly: "If it were me, I would do the same. Moreover, he and Sikong Yanlun are brothers of the rice people and have a wonderful spiritual connection. If we summon Sikong Yanlun, he will surely be full of confidence and fight us again."

"Let's go. With our current strength, even if the brothers join forces, we don't necessarily have much of a chance of winning."

After exchanging blows with Sikong Jingyuan, Li Weiyi gained even more confidence and began to dispel the illusions of martial cultivators at the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm.

Those who could condense the Dao Lotus were previously beyond his reach, like towering mountains pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe. But now, it seems they are nothing special.
