Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme-Chapter 1435 - 1381: Sword Refining

"My killing of Yuan Qing has nothing to do with you. Even if you hadn't suggested I enter the Spirit Ashes Forbidden Land, Yuan Qing would have sought an opportunity to kill me anyway. After all, I embarrassed him in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion. He's the type who never lets grudges go."

Lin Mo smiled slightly as he spoke.

"This matter has nothing to do with the Mystic Realm Sect; it concerns my Liu Family. As long as you are willing to help, I am willing to offer a reward of thirty million Spirit Stones!" Liu Yiyi took a deep breath and said again.

"Thirty million top-grade spiritual stones?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was initially stunned, then frowned. Cultivation emphasizes 'wealth, companionship, method, and land,' and none can be lacking. Among these, wealth is of utmost importance. Cultivation, elixirs, and magic treasures all require money.

For someone like Lin Mo, who lacks family background, wealth is undoubtedly the most needed thing.

"I want to know exactly what kind of help Senior Sister Liu needs from me?" Lin Mo immediately asked.

One must understand, though he needs money, if it brings him big trouble, it wouldn't be worth the risk. "Actually, it's quite simple, our Liu Family discovered an ancient land and wants to enter it to hunt for treasures. However, other forces no weaker than our Liu Family have also discovered this ancient land. So, after negotiations, it was decided to let the juniors from each family enter the ancient land

and search for treasures according to their abilities." Liu Yiyi explained quickly. Their Liu Family was renowned on Qionglong Star, and the other few major forces had power not inferior to the Liu Family. If war breaks out, the consequences would be hard to control, so... several families decided to send their juniors

into the ancient land, one for treasure hunting, the other for some secret competition, which also signifies the future strengths of these family forces.

"Our Liu Family originally didn't fear these major forces, but my grandfather fell ill, and the Liu Family isn't as strong as before. Among the new generation of juniors, few are noteworthy, so I want to ask for your help."

"Ancient land, treasure hunting?"

After hearing Liu Yiyi's words, Lin Mo furrowed his sword-like eyebrows and began to ponder, hesitating for a moment, then said, "However, I don't know how long this trip might take?"

"At the fastest, a month; at the longest, two months," Liu Yiyi said. "I know the Seven Sects will hold a competition in about two months, so we'll definitely return before the competition."

"Alright, I agree with you, but the Spirit Stones must be given to me first," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Seeing Lin Mo agree, the weight on Liu Yiyi's face gradually disappeared, revealing a smile, "Of course, here are forty million Spirit Stones, including ten million Spirit Stones as your reward for entering the Spirit Ashes Forbidden Land last time."

With that, Liu Yiyi threw a Space Ring to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo did not refuse. Liu Yiyi was worth a lot, and these Spirit Stones were probably not a big sum to her, "Then I will thank Senior Sister Liu first."

"In three days, I will come to find you, and we'll set off together then." Liu Yiyi nodded, then turned into a stream of light and vanished from sight.

"Forty million top-grade Spirit Stones, I wonder to what level I can refine the Xuanyuan Sword."

Gripping the ring in his palm, Lin Mo's lips curved into a faint smile.

The next day, Lin Mo directly found Gu Sa and stated his purpose, "Brother Gu Sa, forty million top-grade Spirit Stones, what materials can be bought to refine this sword." Gu Sa took the Xuanyuan Sword from Lin Mo's hand, inspected it closely, and said, "Mr. Lin, this sword is quite good, but its grade is too low. In the Seven Sects, as long as the disciples are from a relatively wealthy family, they all use soul

artifacts level magic treasures."

"This is my old companion; it's been with me for many years and is my Lifebound Treasure, I can't bear to part with it!" Lin Mo said lightly with a smile. "To refine this sword, buy some Shattered Gold Stone, Demon Star Sand... Ice Profound Shavings, and forty million top-grade Spirit Stones should be enough to refine it to around Soul Artifact First Grade. However, your Xuanyuan Sword already has a dual attribute domain, which is nice, enough to rival

the level of Grade Two Soul Artifacts."

Gu Sa muttered to himself, the higher the grade of the magic treasure, the weaker the effect of the innate dual attribute domain would be.

"Mr. Lin, honestly speaking, forty million top-grade Spirit Stones should be enough to buy a pretty good soul artifact magic treasure..." Gu Sa said, frowning, with some heartache.

"No need, I just hope Brother Gu Sa can help me gather the materials as soon as possible, I'm pressed for time." Lin Mo bowed with his hands clasped, retrieved the Xuanyuan Sword, and said slowly.

Before going to Qionglong Star with Liu Yiyi, Lin Mo hoped to improve his strength, and the only way to quickly enhance his combat power was to refine magic treasures.

"No problem, I wouldn't dare to make assurances on other matters, but you've definitely come to the right person for buying and selling." Gu Sa said smilingly, showing a confident grin.

Sure enough, Gu Sa wasn't joking. He spent only a day gathering all the materials, but the actual refining of the sword still needed Lin Mo to do personally.

At Bright Moon Manor, after Qing Su fetched the materials from Gu Sa, Lin Mo went straight to the rear mountain of the manor, set up a barrier array, and placed a tripod furnace at the center of the array.

This tripod furnace cost a million top-grade Spirit Stones to buy.

Spending the forty million top-grade Spirit Stones completely, Lin Mo became penniless once again.

Placing materials into the tripod furnace sequentially according to order, time, and quantity, he immediately took out several talismans, pressed them onto the ground, and drew out the dual fires of Earth Yin and Heavenly Yang to burn the tripod furnace before placing the Xuanyuan Sword within.

"Cultivation is money-consuming. Spending forty million Spirit Stones just to elevate the Xuanyuan Sword to the stage of Soul Artifact First Grade. Who knows how much more cultivation resources I will need in the future." Lin Mo furrowed his sword-like eyebrows and thought to himself.

As for wanting to condense Star Power, the future costs would probably be even more astonishing. Even a wealthy family like the Liu Family might struggle to sustain such consumption speed. Regaining composure, Lin Mo's palms emitted a cold Qi True Essence which surged into the tripod furnace, starting to control the furnace's heat and temperature. This lasted two full days until the anomaly in the tripod furnace finally ceased, and suddenly, a riot of colors shot out from the furnace's mouth, like the emergence of gemstones.

"Succeeded!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. If the refining failed, it would mean wasting tens of millions of Spirit Stones for nothing.

Whoosh!

From within the tripod furnace, a stream of light soared to the sky, faintly accompanied by a Dragon Roar, shooting straight into the clouds. Lin Mo's foot stepped down fiercely, and his entire body shot upward, grabbing the Xuanyuan Sword flying in the air. His eyes exuded brilliance, tightly gripping the hilt, and he suddenly cleaved towards a nearby small peak. A scorching white sword light spanned dozens of miles

and actually skillfully shaved off the tip of the small peak.

"The power of a Soul Artifact First Grade really cannot be compared to that of a Spiritual Artifact." Lin Mo's lips curled into a cheerful smile. At the same time, the time to join Liu Yiyi in heading to Qionglong Star also arrived.
