Chapter 53: Purchasing a Spiritual Sword
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After yesterday’s farce, Zhou Yun looked at his spiritual sword and sighed.
This spiritual sword had accompanied him for quite a while.
After Zhou Yun placed the spiritual sword in the cave, he turned around and left.
Previously, he had been busy improving his innate ability and cultivating resources.
Even if he used alchemy, the resources obtained were not enough to exchange for a good flying sword.
After all, a flying sword in the foundation establishment stage would cost over a hundred spiritual stones, not to mention a good spiritual sword. The latter would cost tens of thousands of spiritual stones.
In the current era where spiritual energy was scarce, even sect leader Ling Qingyun did not have a sword that was suitable for his use. He was still using the weapons passed down from generation to generation by the sect leader.
Although Zhou Yun’s alchemy speed was very fast, if he really wanted to buy a suitable spiritual sword, he would not be able to do it in a short time.
However, Su Lingyun was actually willing to spend her hard-earned money to buy a new spiritual sword for him. And recalling her promise from the day before, it was from the auction house within the Treasure Pavilion.
Zhou Yun sighed, thinking, “Su Lingyun is too out of line. She’s the complete opposite of Su Wanyi.” He didn’t know if he could believe Su Lingyun’s words.
“She can’t possibly sell me off after she brings me to the Treasure Pavilion, right?” After all, Zhou Yun was a once-in-a-thousand-years alchemy genius. He felt that he had some value.
“What auction? Are you really looking forward to the Treasure Pavilion that much?” Su Lingyun’s voice came from behind.
She was wearing a pale red dress that day and looked more mature.
However, since Zhou Yun had learned about her true colors, he felt that it was a very strange look on her.
Su Lingyun was like a Husky pretending to be a Border Collie.
“Hey, what’s with your eyes? I can tell!” Su Lingyun raised her eyebrows. “Remember our agreement. Don’t expose me in public! I’m still that gentle and friendly direct disciple!”
Zhou Yun recalled that he had accepted Su Lingyun’s request to keep her true appearance a secret.
“All right,” he said. Zhou Yun would not say anything as he was still counting on Su Lingyun to help him buy a spiritual sword.
“That’s more like it. By the way, my master asked me to give you this. He said it’s your reward for discovering the heretic cultivator.” Su Lingyun took out four small tokens and placed them in Zhou Yun’s hand.
“A token for the spiritual meal?” Zhou Yun didn’t expect it. He had thought that the token had disappeared with Meng Fei’ang’s death.
“Hehe, this thing is worth a lot of money.” Su Lingyun counted with her fingers. “Four tokens of spiritual meal are worth at least two ordinary spiritual swords.”
“200 spiritual stones?” Zhou Yun didn’t expect that a token for a spiritual meal would be worth as much as 50 spiritual stones.
“You’re wrong, it’s 2000 spirit stones! After all, even the most ordinary spiritual sword would cost at least a thousand spirit stones.” Su Lingyun stood on her tiptoes and looked down at Zhou Yun. “I’m a direct disciple. How could I buy a spiritual sword worth a mere hundred spiritual stones for my junior brother?”
“A token for a spiritual meal costs 500 spiritual stones?” Zhou Yun didn’t expect Meng Fei’ang to have so many spirit stones.
One had to know that the salary of an elder in the Spirit Valley was only 150 spirit stones a year.
“That’s right. After all, Meng Fei’ang is also from an immortal cultivation family, although not as good as the Su family.” Su Lingyun suddenly covered her mouth and said, “Well, don’t mind these small things. Just relax. I’ll protect you on this trip to the Treasure Pavilion. Don’t worry.” Su Lingyun held the spiritual sword on her back. She didn’t directly pull out the sword. Instead, she grabbed the scabbard and swung the sword. It was extremely cool.
“I, your senior sister, am very powerful,” Su Lingyun praised herself.
“All right, all right.” Zhou Yun nodded perfunctorily. At the moment, his mind was already on the information that Su Lingyun had accidentally revealed.
Meng Fei’ang was from such a family? Then, would the exciting revenge segment happen next? Wouldn’t Zhou Yun be in trouble if he left the Spirit Valley at this time?
Zhou Yun was only at the elementary of foundation establishment stage. But if he were to encounter a cultivator at a later stage of foundation establishment, he was confident that he would be able to escape.
Even if Zhou Yun faced a group of people, he wouldn’t be afraid. After all, Su Lingyun had said that his sword control technique had actually reached the great stage. It was just that his speed and distance were limited due to the problem of the spiritual sword.
If Zhou Yun were to encounter other cultivators, just his sword control technique alone would ensure his invincibility.
Su Lingyun had said that not all cultivators could cultivate the sword control technique to even the moderate stage.
However, Zhou Yun looked at Su Lingyun with a worried look.
He could run, but he didn’t know if Su Lingyun could.
If he abandoned her and ran away… Su Lingyun might be caught!
“You, if you’re really in danger, try to come closer to me,” Zhou Yun said to Su Lingyun after thinking for a while.
Although Su Lingyun was a little too free and easy, Zhou Yun didn’t want her to be caught since she was able to fork out so many spiritual stones to help him buy a spiritual sword.
“Hey! I’m very strong, I’ll emphasize it again!” Su Lingyun stood on her tiptoes again, trying to assert dominance.
“All right, all right.” Zhou Yun nodded. Meanwhile, internally, he was imagining how it would be embarrassing for the Spirit Valley’s direct disciple to be captured.
“Tsk.” Su Lingyun turned her head and opened the door of the cave.
“Wait!” Before Zhou Yun could react, Su Lingyun had already opened the door of the cave.
“Ha?” Su Lingyun turned her head and looked at Zhou Yun in confusion. The next moment, she was pushed to the ground by a black shadow without any warning.
“Ah!” Su Lingyun let out a scream.
“Ah?” The black shadow sat up in confusion. It was only then that the black shadow realized the person she pounced on was not Zhou Yun, but a young girl.
“Qiao’er, I’m here.” Zhou Yun had forgotten to remind Su Lingyun that Qiao’er would wait outside every time he was done with his closed-door training. If he happened to come out of his training, she would rush over.
“Brother Zhou Yun!” Initially taken aback, Qiao’er rushed to Zhou Yun with a smile on her face. “Brother Zhou Yun, congratulations on coming out of your seclusion!”
That day, Qiao’er was wearing an exquisite small tulip dress. The hem of the dress was retracted, revealing her fair legs. With the blue theme, it was pleasing to the eye, as if a real flower fairy was moving in front of them!
Because of Qiao’er, many disciples stopped outside Zhou Yun’s cave abode to watch.
However, when they saw Qiao’er jump into Su Lingyun’s arms with a smile on her face, they were stunned for a moment, and then many of them became happy.
But in the end, when Qiao’er came in front of Zhou Yun and hugged his shoulders… Many first became sad, then angry.
“Yes, Qiao’er, long time no see.” Zhou Yun looked at the cute Qiao’er in front of him and couldn’t help but sigh. As expected, having a normal girl like her around was important.
“Ah, so it’s someone that Junior Brother knows.” Su Lingyun’s tone was soft. She gently patted the dust off her dress and then stood up with a smile.
Her tender appearance was akin to the spring breeze, making people feel comfortable.
The disciples who had been feeling sorrowful only felt a burst of gentleness.
“Hey, why did an extra person come out of your closed-door cultivation? Don’t tell me you’re doing dual cultivation?” It was unknown which disciple had spoken, but the freshly warm atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
All the disciples clenched their fists and looked at Zhou Yun. It was bad enough that Zhou Yun brought a beauty with him when he was in seclusion, but he actually wanted a second one!
Feeling multiple stares at him, Zhou Yun shuddered in fear.
