"If the Canghua Divine Wood Sword can transform into a treasure, the power of the Sword Array would be beyond imagination."

However, finding the materials to enhance the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure is extremely difficult, and for a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, they are indispensable.

Over the years, he hadn’t heard any news, and there was no trace at auctions; clearly, they have been monopolized by the major late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Yet, the difficulty of enhancing a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure is beyond imagination.

It is not simply about piling up materials; the key is to enhance the Artifact Spirit and increase its inherent spirituality.

Such treasures are rare and unattainable in the world, long monopolized by the top late-stage Nascent Soul great cultivators from the Outer Sea, and they never make it to the market.

Xu Ping has kept an eye out for many years, yet he has never heard a word about them.

Just as his mind was racing, Yun Wei Feng, the old patriarch of Yun Lan sitting at the head, stroked his beard and smiled as he spoke again:

"Young Friend Xu is too modest, you have made such a great contribution to the Outer Sea, expending your own Primordial Qi and extending your lifespan in casting forbidden Divine Techniques; how can an old man like me turn a blind eye?"

As he spoke, he gently flicked his sleeve, and a jade box, completely warm to the touch and engraved with Spirit Talisman runes, was lifted by a gentle Mana, slowly flying to Xu Ping.

The lid opened slightly, and a familiar and vast life-creating Dao rhyme instantly filled the space.

It was indeed a Life Creation Pill the size of a dragon eye.

Although unsure of the Divine Technique Xu Ping had precisely used or why his lifespan was depleted yet he appeared unharmed, Yun Wei Feng could not ignore it.

This gift was both compensation and an attempt to show goodwill and win him over.

"Thank you, Senior Yun, for your generous gift!"

Xu Ping was moved and accepted the jade box frankly without false pretense, putting it into his sleeve.

Though the pill’s effect on extending lifespan was greatly reduced for him, it was more than enough to make up for the slight loss from activating the Silent Extinction Divine Light earlier.

"Hehe, this is just a little token that Young Friend deserves."

Yun Wei Feng’s smile was gentle, but his tone became slightly more solemn, "Young Friend Xu, besides this, is there anything else you need?"

"Anything our Outer Sea Human Race can offer, we will do our utmost to provide for you!"

To defend the Human Race territories in the upcoming demon disaster, powerhouses like Xu Ping, with outstanding combat abilities and without too many constraints, are essential pillars.

It’s crucial to have him willingly exert his power, even binding his interests more deeply with those of the Outer Sea Human Race.

"Anything else needed?"

Hearing this, Xu Ping fell into contemplation once again.

There were indeed many things he desired at the moment:

Fourth Rank Upper Grade or even quasi-Fifth Rank puppet inheritance, miraculous Spiritual Objects to help Shui Hushu surpass Fourth Rank Upper Grade, rare Spiritual Materials to further enhance the quality of his Magic Sword....

But most of these he could plan and accumulate over time relying on his ability.

Only the transcendental treasures to enhance the spirituality of the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure are the most thoroughly monopolized by the major powers, nearly impossible for him to acquire alone.

Now is the perfect time to make this request.

Having decided, Xu Ping raised his head and said in a calm voice: "Thank you, Senior Yun, for your great kindness. I do have a request that I feel is unbecoming."

"I wish to enhance the spirituality of my life-bound Flying Sword, and I’m not sure if you might have any Spiritual Materials capable of nourishing the Artifact Spirit and enhancing the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure’s origin?"

"Such treasures are hard to find, and I am willing to exchange them for other resources."

"Enhance the origin of a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure?"

Hearing this, Yun Wei Feng raised his white eyebrows slightly, not showing much surprise on his face.

He had long seen that the Canghua Divine Wood Sword, the core of Xu Ping’s Sword Array, was extraordinary, so pursuing such Spiritual Materials was quite normal.

Yun Wei Feng pondered for a moment, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes, and sighed: "Oh well, such materials are rare; our Human Race’s stock is also scarce."

Saying this, he flipped his hand.

A peculiar ore about the size of a human head, entirely pitch black yet faintly reflecting a prismatic luster, as if it could absorb all surrounding light, appeared in his palm.

As soon as this stone appeared, the Spiritual Qi in the entire hall seemed to subtly converge towards it, also emanating an indescribable, mind-pacifying, and wisdom-enlightening Dao rhyme.

"This is called ’Black Obsidian Spiritual Ore’."

Yun Wei Feng introduced, "It is a unique ore formed deep within the earth veins, absorbing ten thousand years of earthly fiend and stellar essence."

"Its greatest use lies in slowly nourishing the spirituality of the Artifact Spirit and purifying the origin of the Magical Treasure, providing immense aid in promoting the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure."

This Black Obsidian Spiritual Ore was actually prepared for Si Kong Zi Yan, but since Xu Ping made the request, it was better to satisfy him first.

As for Si Kong Zi Yan, it could be slowly planned out later.

After all, the late-stage great cultivators had reached a private understanding that the resources given to Xu Ping this time would be collectively reimbursed by various forces.

This Black Obsidian Spiritual Ore, though initially taken out by the Yunxiao Sect, would later be compensated with equivalent resources back to Si Kong Zi Yan by other forces.

"I hope this helps your Magical Treasure reach greater heights, better protecting our Human Race territories in the future!"

Yun Wei Feng laughed loudly, pushing the Black Obsidian Spiritual Ore towards Xu Ping.

Although Xu Ping didn’t know about the internal distribution deals, seeing the remarkable qualities and extraordinary Dao rhyme of this ore, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.

Although this ore was not enough to directly transform the Canghua Divine Wood Sword into a treasure, it would significantly enhance its spirituality, making its origin more robust and resilient, elevating its power to a higher tier.

The Sword Array’s power would definitely improve considerably.

Xu Ping solemnly accepted the ore, putting it into his Storage Ring: "Thank you, Senior Yun."

The gains from this encounter far exceeded expectations!

The bodies of two late-stage Nascent Soul ancient demon corpses, a Life Creation Pill, a top-grade Moon Shadow Stone, and now this Black Obsidian Spiritual Ore...
