Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword

Cyan Jade Bamboo, this is a tier-one top-grade spirit wood. The bamboo itself is tough and beautiful, can store spiritual qi very well, and is extremely famous in the cultivation realm as a refining material.

Cyan Jade Bamboo over a thousand years old has the opportunity to mutate into a higher-tier Cyan Thunder Bamboo, capable of releasing a pale cyan Cyan Cloud Divine Thunder, effectively suppressing demon cultivators and demons, with effects similar to Exorcism Divine Thunder.

The batch explored by Lu Ping consists of ordinary Cyan Jade Bamboo only over a hundred years old, tier-one top-grade.

Though still far from the thousand-year mark and not yet mutated into Cyan Thunder Bamboo, these Cyan Jade Bamboo can be used to refine a tier-one spiritual artifact, the Cyan Bamboo Sword.

The Cyan Bamboo Sword, a tier-one spiritual artifact circulating in the market, already falls under the category of tier-one top-grade spiritual artifact, offering excellent value and being favored by loose cultivators.

If a skilled artifact refiner can be found and matched with some exceptional refining materials, it’s entirely possible to craft a tier-two Cyan Bamboo Sword.

Transplanting the Cyan Jade Bamboo, refining spiritual artifacts, is a good choice to address the Cyan Mountain Sect’s deficiency in spiritual artifacts, enhance the disciples’ gear, better execute external tasks, and even prepare to counter the Black Water Profound Snake.

The shoots of Cyan Jade Bamboo can also be consumed, beneficial for strengthening the body, unblocking meridians, and when taken long-term, aid in cultivation.

No need to elaborate on system rewards; reputation points are essential. Next is the Cyan Light Bamboo Sea Array, which can be set up using Cyan Jade Bamboo.

This kind of array can trap a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, which is quite effective for the Cyan Mountain Sect.

The only issue is that to obtain this patch of Cyan Jade Bamboo, one must first resolve the seventh-layer Qi Cultivation Purple Spot Demon Wolf, certainly a process requiring a battle.

However, this is pretty normal; common heavenly and earthly treasures usually have demon beasts guarding them.

Eliminate the demon first and then seize the treasure; this is standard procedure.

The seventh-layer Qi Cultivation demon wolf is something the Cyan Mountain Sect can handle without much trouble.

Remembering this doorway affair, Lu Ping has no intention of stopping and spends 5 reputation points to exchange for another [Doorway Affairs].

Since it’s secluded cultivation, merely assigning one external task for the sect to complete is clearly insufficient.

Lu Ping plans that during secluded cultivation, both reputation points and the rewards from doorway affairs should be abundant.

Unfolding the map, he began the exploration of the second doorway affair.

This time, Lu Ping chose the Cyan Mountain Sect’s westward direction, within Lingxi State’s largest desert, exploring the east border of Yanhuang Desert.

Before long, the exploration outcome was revealed.

[Doorway Affairs: A caravan passing through Yanhuang Desert frequently encounters Sandstorm Beast attacks. Please send disciples to eliminate the Sandstorm Beast to ensure normal passage of the caravan]

[Quantity: 26]

[Combat Power: Third to Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation]

[Status: Long-term activity at the eastern border of Yanhuang Desert]

[Completion Reward: Reputation 301, Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique]

...

This task is a demon-eliminating affair, similar to the previously explored Tree Cave Fox.

Judging by the demon beast’s strength and quantity, the difficulty isn’t too high, and the Cyan Mountain Sect has the ability to complete it.

Furthermore, once completed, the system reward is secondary. As long as the social aspects are handled well, it might establish friendship with the caravans in Yanhuang Desert, facilitating future collaborations.

Overall, it won’t be a loss.

In this affair’s reward, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique firmly caught Lu Ping’s eye.

This is the second time, apart from the removal of the Black Water Profound Snake hidden affair, that he sees a cultivation technique reward in the doorway affairs.

Curious, Lu Ping checked this reward and soon displayed a joyous expression.

This is a gold attribute attacking sword technique, significantly more powerful than tier-equivalent techniques, quite advanced. Not only can it be cultivated to the Crystallization Stage, but it can also refine a life-bound magical artifact.

A life-bound magical artifact, typically refined through long-term, high-intensity assimilation from refining a personal spiritual artifact, eventually becomes part of the cultivator.

Life-bound magical artifacts can follow the cultivator’s divine thought to attack, kill, and defend against enemies at will.

Such life-bound magical artifacts, even someone as strong as Lu Ping, only possessed a single one in his lifetime.

Now, there’s such a tier-notable technique capable of refining a life-bound magical artifact right before him.

Naturally, life-bound magical artifacts also vary in strength, generally classified from tier one to nine, but unlike elixirs, spiritual artifacts, arrays, and talismans, there are no detailed distinctions into lower, middle, and top grades.

In other words, a tier-one life-bound magical artifact is simply tier-one, without subtier classifications such as lower, middle-grade.

The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique can refine a tier-two life-bound magical artifact.

The name of the life-bound magical artifact is the same as the technique, also called Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword.

Once the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword life-bound magical artifact is cultivated, and performed alongside this technique, its power and strength can achieve level-surpassing enemy kills.

To give a simple example, if the eighth-layer Qi Cultivation Lu Changfeng learns this technique and cultivates the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, he can outrightly slay a ninth-layer Qi Cultivation cultivator.

Faced with Wu Heng in battle, it would suffice to slay Wu Heng within a dozen rounds.

What’s more crucial, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword can continuously be nurtured and strengthened, progressing along with its owner’s strength, elevating stepwise to the third, fourth tier, and even higher.

The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword is so valuable that Lu Ping wishes to give each of his three children one and also equip a few outstanding disciples to dramatically enhance their strength.

But to refine the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, according to the technique’s description, one must use ’Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper’ as the refining material.

Only by tempering the Purple Sun Celestial Fire and Geng Metal Qi within Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper to polish the sword body and refining it for seventy-seven days can one cultivate the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword.

"Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper."

Lu Ping murmured to himself.

Such heavenly and earthly treasures, even as a Golden Core Ancestor, he hasn’t seen, though he knows of them.

Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper, typically found in extremely hot regions, like Earth Fire and Fire Sea Ore Veins, is a mineral named Purple Gold Copper slowly formed through daily and nightly refinement by fire attribute forces.

The entire formation process takes over a thousand years.

The Cyan Mountain Sect certainly doesn’t have this treasure, but other sects may. Lu Ping knows of one.

The Celestial Fire Palace in Qingli Sea abundantly produces such treasures, but acquiring a piece is not easy.

"Refining Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword requires acquiring Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper, which is a problem."

Lu Ping rubbed his chin and shook his head: "Let’s talk about it later."

For now, not considering it, even if not refining the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, merely practicing the technique will yield good results.

Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper, this matter can be thought of later when free.

Calmed, after exploring Cyan Jade Bamboo and clearing the Sandstorm Beast these two doorway affairs, Lu Ping doesn’t intend to continue exploring.

Two external tasks, executed within a year by disciples, are just right.

If the affairs are numerous, increasing to three, four tasks, they would occupy a large amount of disciples’ time for completion.

Being secluded for a year, Lu Ping doesn’t want the disciples’ time solely spent on handling doorway affairs, time for cultivation and sect development must be ensured.

Sending disciples for frequent high-intensity demon-killing, external task execution, these disciples are humans with flesh and blood, feeling tired and definitely harboring resentment and complaint of being too busy.

In the past few months, dispatching disciples to clear Tree Cave Fox, capturing Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish, and even the two recent demon cultivator eliminations, all kept disciples busy for quite some time.

Thus, just this time, let’s not trouble the disciples more; two external tasks suffice.

Lu Ping’s plan is to complete one task every six months.

Or, only completing one and finishing the remaining task after he exits seclusion is also acceptable.

After memorizing these two external tasks and noting the remaining 64 reputation points, Lu Ping decided not to use them, keeping some reputation points reserved.

Having prepared for secluded cultivation, Lu Ping promptly initiated communication to summon Lu Yuanshan.

"Yuanshan, come to the cave mansion to see me."
