The Long Journey to Immortality

Just like that soft rope used when fighting Feng Zhilan, which was particularly effective against demonic beasts, spirit beasts, and true spirits.

As for the exact grade of the magic weapon, and whether it was worth a thousand or two thousand spirit stones, Han Lu didn't care.

Regardless of rank, as long as there's an opportunity to compensate for her shortcomings, it's fine to use her at specific times and in specific situations.

With this in mind, they waited for the Seven Flower Fairy to point out the place where the magical artifacts were stored.

After Han Lu was allowed to select a few magical artifacts and a few spiritual artifacts, she did not hesitate and quickly walked towards the magical treasures that had been in the secret vault for who knows how long.

Just as the Seven Flower Fairy said, all the magical artifacts that can enter the secret vault are of the finest quality.

Therefore, the number of magical artifacts in the secret vault is not large.

Han Lu estimated the number to be only about two hundred pieces.

This number is roughly the same as the number of magical artifacts in the secret vault.

Because she already had someone she loved, Han Lu immediately ignored the magical artifacts that resembled weapons stored in the secret vault.

Watching Han Lu walk quickly among the shelves storing magical treasures, the Seven Flower Fairy, who had originally intended to introduce two well-known and significant magical treasures to Han Lu, became slightly displeased.

The Seven Flower Fairy thought to herself, "What, are they treating this like a temple fair?"

However, this was just a thought in her mind; the Seven Flower Fairy would have preferred Han Lu to ask fewer questions.

If it weren't for Daoist Yunmin's request, she would have simply wanted to arrange for a disciple to act as Han Lu's guide. This would have prevented Han Lu from acting like a saleswoman in front of a Foundation Establishment disciple, answering every question and losing her composure.

The atmosphere was strange, but Han Lu showed no sign of slowing down.

The numerous magical artifacts were displayed on only twenty rows of shelves. In the blink of an eye, Han Lu passed through five rows of shelves without even pausing for a moment.

Finally, in the sixth row, a strange magical artifact caught Han Lu's attention, causing her to stop and ask, "Elder Qihua, what is the purpose of this magical artifact?"

The treasure that Han Lu had her eye on was a pair of bracelets.

Dark green, crystal clear, the material resembles jade but is not jade, and it looks more like an expensive piece of jewelry or art than a precious jade.

"This bracelet isn't exactly a powerful magic weapon," Fairy Seven Flowers assumed that Han Lu's appraisal skills were poor and she couldn't distinguish the quality of magic weapons, so she took a liking to the bracelet out of her womanly nature. "It's a top-grade magic weapon. If it hadn't been used by a Golden Core cultivator in a sect during his Foundation Establishment stage, this thing wouldn't be in the secret vault."

"This bracelet," Han Lu picked it up and asked again, "what kind of supernatural power does it possess?"

"It's nothing to mention," the Seven Flower Fairy explained. "By wearing the bracelet and activating it with spiritual power, you can conceal the wearer's aura. Even a cultivator at the late Golden Core stage cannot detect the wearer's presence with their divine sense."

"That's amazing?!" Han Lu exclaimed in surprise.

“Not that impressive,” Fairy Seven Flowers continued. “When wearing this bracelet and using it, although the wearer’s aura will be hidden, it can still be seen with the naked eye. Not to mention, when using this bracelet, the user’s magic power will be temporarily suppressed to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.”

"Only cultivators who enjoy petty theft and engaging in crooked practices like infiltration and assassination would like this magic weapon."

The Seven Flower Fairy was a typical cultivator from the Central Plains, so naturally she disliked this kind of magical treasure.

However, Han Lu liked the magic weapon very much after hearing about its advantages and disadvantages, and immediately tried it on her wrist.

This magical artifact perfectly matched Han Lu's general idea for choosing treasures, and its side effects were not particularly noticeable to Han Lu.

“Not bad, I like it very much. Elder Qihua, this is the first magic artifact I have chosen.”

The Seven Flower Fairy was slightly surprised, but she had no intention of persuading Han Lu to give up or change her mind.

She simply reached out and gently touched the jade bracelet on Han Lu's wrist, chanting an incantation to release the restriction on the magical artifact.

"Alright, this magical artifact is now yours," said the Seven Flower Fairy. "Cherish it and use it well."

Chapter 417 Four Magical Artifacts

There were no special instructions or formulas for using these bracelets, so the Seven Flower Fairy simply gave a few words of advice.

Han Lu nodded slightly, neither promising nor asking the Seven Flower Fairy to help her test the magic treasures in the secret vault. She simply slowed down her walking speed and continued walking among the rows of shelves displaying magic treasures.

The spirit swords, spirit spears, and spirit knives were all concentrated in the first few rows; it was the miscellaneous magical treasures in the back that Han Lu needed.

Every few steps, Han Lu would pick up a magical artifact that interested her and ask the Seven Flower Fairy about its uses and effects.

The Seven Flower Fairy was very dutiful. Although she felt it was awkward for a Golden Core cultivator to serve a Foundation Establishment disciple like this, she still answered every question.

"This hairpin has the ability to change hairstyles at will. It was the favorite of a Nascent Soul Grand Elder a thousand years ago."

Han Lu is very satisfied with her current hairstyle and hair color, and does not need to use this hairpin to modify it.

"These feathered wings are made from the feathers of a transformed demon beast that possesses the bloodline of a phoenix spirit. The wings consist of a total of 1,800 feathers."

"When used, it can help Foundation Establishment cultivators fly through the air, and their flying speed can even surpass that of Golden Core cultivators by a considerable margin."

Possessing true spiritual bloodline, wings that are an excellent choice for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators to show off, fight, and travel are utterly useless in Han Lu's eyes.

"This scale armor is made from the only three true scales from the more than one hundred Foundation Establishment fish demons in the East Sea. Han Lu, I remember that you cultivate water attribute techniques," the Seven Flower Fairy knew some information about Han Lu. "This scale armor is a perfect match for your technique, and its protective ability should be three times better than other magic weapons of the same second rank."

Looking at the ugly fish-scale armor and then at the phoenix feather robe she was wearing, which was transformed from phoenix feathers, Han Lu was certain that her clothes were far superior to the black fish-scale armor in both style and protective ability.

Disliking this and disliking that, the Seven Flower Fairy felt that Han Lu was the most picky Foundation Establishment cultivator in the world.

However, there's no other way; it's best not to disobey the sect leader's orders.

The Seven Flower Fairy, who was at the crucial stage of breaking through to the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, did not want to offend the sect over a trivial matter. So she patiently continued to stay by Han Lu's side, acting as her guide and explaining the origin and effects of the magical treasures that Han Lu asked about.

After selecting two or three more magical items that Han Lu found interesting but were actually somewhat useless, finally one inconspicuous magical item entered Han Lu's speech.

"What is this?" Han Lu picked up a sphere about the size of a moon pearl and asked.

"The secondary eye of the Azure Moon Spirit Beast," the Seven Flower Fairy explained, "The Azure Moon Spirit Beast possesses great supernatural powers in both eyes. This is just the secondary eye among its two eyes. Although its supernatural powers are far inferior to the legendary main eye that can see through all things, it is still an excellent first-grade magic weapon after some special refining."

"By reciting the incantation and using this beast eye, Foundation Establishment cultivators can project their divine sense for a short period of time and master this divine ability that can only be used after advancing to the Golden Core stage."

"Even if one advances to the Golden Core stage, this beast's eyes can indirectly expand the range of divine sense detection, allowing Golden Core cultivators who are training outside to gain the upper hand."

"However, the distance that divine sense can travel depends on the talent of this Foundation Establishment cultivator."

“Once, a Foundation Establishment disciple with weak spiritual sense obtained this item. When he tried to use it, he could only extend his spiritual sense 5 meters away from his body, which was completely useless.”

"So it was returned."

Hearing that this unassuming eye could enable a Foundation Establishment cultivator to learn the techniques of a Golden Core cultivator, Han Lu's interest was greatly piqued.

Not to mention, this thing is not only useful in the Foundation Establishment stage, but also after advancing to the Golden Core stage.

“This thing seems pretty good, but…” Although she possesses the bloodline of the Illusionary Phoenix, and theoretically, Han Lu’s spiritual power and soul strength should be among the best in her class, she still felt she should be a little more careful. “I don’t know how far I can wield it. Senior, could you please try this magic weapon in the secret vault?”

This object has no destructive power, so the Seven Flower Fairy can naturally make the decision.

After removing the restriction on the beast's eyes, Han Lu did not refine it. She simply held it, infused it with spiritual power, and recited the mantra taught by the Seven Flower Fairy.

After the eight-character mantra was recited, with the infusion of spiritual power, the beast's eyes began to exert their supernatural power of expanding divine consciousness.

In just three breaths, Han Lu could clearly feel the same sensation she had experienced that day when she released her divine sense to watch the excitement with Feng Rubing's help.

This time, however, the distance she could perceive was very close, and the content she perceived was not very clear.

Last time it was 1080P Ultra HD, this time it can barely be considered HD.

"Is it because of the restrictions in the secret vault?" Han Lu wondered.

The Seven Flower Fairy noticed the expression on Han Lu's face and smiled, "There is a restriction in the secret vault that isolates divine sense. If you use this Beast Eye here, you can only achieve a third of the effect you usually have."

"Generally speaking, a height of ten or twenty feet is considered quite good."

Hearing this, Han Lu was slightly surprised.

"So my spiritual sense is this much stronger than other Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

With the blessing of the Phoenix Bloodline, plus the fact that Han Lu had swallowed Xiaoyaozi's remnant soul and Xiao Ran's inner demons during the battle in the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

All these factors combined make Han Lu stand out in this aspect compared to other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Knowing what was going on, Han Lu withdrew her spiritual power and said, "Thank you, Elder Qihua. I'll take the Azure Moon Beast Eye."

The Seven Flower Fairy nodded slightly and made a note of the matter.

Next, whether by luck or some other reason, Han Lu found her desired magical treasure much faster.

Fifteen minutes later, Han Lu took down another bronze bell.

This bronze bell has a good ability to trap enemies, making it very suitable for Han Lu to use when casting a large sword formation.

After taking another step, Han Lu took a liking to another magical artifact that resembled an iron rod.

This iron rod magic weapon is not used for combat, but for modifying the feng shui and five elements, and gathering spiritual energy.

Han Lu was confident that the time for her to reach the Core Formation stage was not far off, so it was normal for her to prepare early.

With the four magical treasures in hand, Han Lu can also select two more magical artifacts of the level of magic weapons from the secret vault.

Unfortunately, Han Lu only has a few shortcomings, and her need for cultivation resources is not as strong as that of ordinary cultivators.

She went to the end and asked many questions, but no fifth magical artifact pleased her.

Finally, Han Lu consulted the Seven Flower Fairy and chose to exchange her right to select two magical artifacts for sect contribution points.

Contribution points are quite useful in the Zhengyi Sect, and Han Lu is confident that this is a better choice than exchanging for two unusable magic treasures.

As for spiritual artifacts, Han Lu does not plan to choose one when she reaches the Foundation Establishment stage.

After taking a quick look around, Han Lu didn't waste any more of the Seven Flower Fairy's time and directly announced her decision.

Han Lu chose to save the opportunity to exchange for spiritual artifacts until after she reached the Golden Core stage, and the Seven Flower Fairy expressed her understanding.

"After all, you have to use a magic weapon to know if it suits you."

"Moreover, you are only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and it is too dangerous for you to carry two spiritual artifacts."

"This arrangement is the most appropriate."

It took about an hour.

When the Seven Flower Fairy closed the secret vault again and led Han Lu away, Han Lu had four more practical magic treasures in her storage bag, which raised her combat power in human form to another level.

Chapter 418 Beast Eyes, Bronze Bell, Iron Rod

Perhaps because Han Lu only selected a few magical artifacts, the warehouse manager, Seven Flower Fairy, treated Han Lu much better when she left.

Not only did he teach Han Lu the corresponding usage techniques for the various magical treasures again, but he also pointed out the tricks to using the bronze bell.

"I also possessed a similar magical artifact when I was in the Foundation Establishment stage. I believe these simple usage techniques should be of benefit to you."

Indeed, the power a magical artifact can unleash in the hands of a cultivator depends not only on the artifact's inherent power, but also on the cultivator's skill in controlling it and their understanding and flexible application of its magical abilities.
