From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 17: Green Carp Sword
Chapter 17 - 17: Green Carp Sword
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Facing his Senior Brother's promises, Li Quanqing sincerely performed a bow of gratitude.
The other party extended an olive branch, seeing the potential in him and wanting to invest accordingly.
Li Quanqing was equally delighted by this.
Li Quanlin had the Artifact Hall Master Li Kunli as his support, leading a rather comfortable life.
Once he becomes a low-grade Artifact Refiner, that support would be his.
To make further progression within the clan, having no backing was unacceptable.
Li Quanlin helped up his junior brother, examined him for a few moments, and with an increasingly friendly smile, commented, "I wasn't sure earlier, but now I see, Junior Brother, you have reached Qi Refining Fourth Level?"
Li Quanqing replied humbly, "I just luckily made a breakthrough, not comparable to Senior Brother."
"False humility isn't necessary. I am twelve years your senior, yet my cultivation is only at the Qi Refining Fifth Level."
Li Quanlin was engrossed in Artifact Refining, so his cultivation speed wasn't too fast.
"I remember you are not yet seventeen, no wonder the Hall Master favors you, seeing your potential for Foundation Establishment."
Li Quanlin took out a token from his Storage Bag: "As a disciple of the Artifact Hall, you naturally deserve special treatment."
"Take this token and go to the treasury to receive a Green Carp Sword as a congratulatory gift for breaking through to the middle stage of Qi Refining."
"Ah? Our Artifact Hall offers such good benefits?"
Li Quanqing was somewhat surprised.
The Green Carp Sword was not some common item; it was genuinely a Mid Grade Magical Artifact.
The prices for Flying Sword type Magical Artifacts were generally high, and in Baoqing Square, it was clearly labeled, costing 88 low-grade spirit stones.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
"Others obviously don't receive this sort of treatment, but as a genius, can you be compared to those mediocre ones?"
Li Quanlin winked and smiled knowingly.
Having received the token, Li Quanqing could hardly wait to take his leave and headed towards the Artifact Hall's treasury.
In the northeast corner of the Artifact Refining Hall, a towering iron tower stood imposingly, at least several dozen meters tall, wrapped in iron chains and adorned with carvings of countless warriors, echoing the distant Qingli Volcano.
It was said that the Artifact Hall originally had no dedicated treasury, and all the Magical Artifacts made by the Artifact Refiners of the clan were to be handed over to the clan's treasury.
However, after Li Kunli assumed the role of Hall Master, he negotiated well with several clan Elders.
Forcefully, the Treasure Tower was moved here.
There was no choice, after all, the man had a brother in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
As soon as Li Quanqing set foot in this place, an intense surge of energy hit him, as if hearing thousands of swords chiming together, causing his skin to sting.
The array patterns, resplendent and overflowing with light, coursed through the void, enveloping every space, making it difficult to move.
Li Quanqing quickly took out the token, and an unexplained fluctuation blossomed, suddenly revealing a narrow path.
He cautiously moved forward, successfully reaching the base of the tower.
Forty-nine stories high, grand and ancient, the tower was immense and majestic, extending farther than the eye could see.
"A profound-grade order, eligible to receive one Mid Grade Magical Artifact."
A pale, eerie shade of green light surged, transforming into an ethereal Green Jade Carp, covered in golden scales, with prominent antlers, and fins spread out like wings.
The carp swallowed the token in one gulp and led the way on its own, leaving behind flickering spots of light that looked somewhat rigid.
"Is this an Artifact Spirit? Or an Array Spirit?"
Li Quanqing quickly followed behind, filled with immense curiosity.
He tended to believe the latter since the entire Qingyu Island was enveloped by the Guardian Clan Formation, surely making this place a crucial Array node.
With a flick of the tail of the Green Jade Carp illusion, the array enveloping the tower roared into action, revealing a brightly lit gateway.
Li Quanqing stepped into the iron tower, once again marveling at the profound depth of the Li Family's resources.
Inside the tower, there were no candles or lamps, yet it was not dim; various treasured lights shone brilliantly, quickening one's heartbeat.
There were hundreds of Low Grade Magical Artifacts placed in the center of numerous lotus stone platforms, intertwined with arrays forming protective shields, making them hard to reach.
Li Quanqing walked inside the tower, his faint footsteps echoing, proving the vast space.
"This place is barren of Spiritual Energy, no wonder there are no Cultivators stationed to watch over it, clearly not conducive to cultivation."
He looked at the cover over the Lotus Platform, all Spiritual Energy was extracted by the Array, used to nourish these Magic Artifacts.
This Treasure Tower can be called the arsenal of the Li Family, showcasing the heritage of a thousand-year-old cultivating family.
Li Quanqing followed the drifting Green Jade Carp, crossing twelve layers of the tower before reaching the floor where Mid Grade Magical Artifacts were stored.
The most numerous were naturally Green Carp Swords, somewhat dazzling to the eyes.
After careful observation previously, Li Quanqing noticed.
Although the grade was the same, the higher the floor, the better the quality of the Magic Artifacts.
He tried to continue climbing the tower, unfortunately, he was stopped on the fifteenth floor.
Array Patterns interwoven, the entrance to the sixteenth floor was sealed, a flash of light revealed an extremely dangerous aura.
Li Quanqing looked towards the stunned phantom of the Green Jade Carp.
It completely ignored him and did not open the Array for him to pass as before.
"Well, one must be content in life."
Li Quanqing examined the Mid Grade Magical Artifacts stored on the fifteenth floor.
About one-fifth of the Lotus Platform had vacancies, it was unknown whether the treasures had been taken by someone.
"Should I take a Green Carp Sword, or choose another type of Magic Artifact?"
Li Quanqing found himself in a dilemma.
He spotted a set of Cold Netherworld Needles, thin as hair, with a cold aura, absolutely a treacherous weapon, hard to guard against.
That Heavy Water Spear wasn't bad either, its might enormous and its weight significant, imposingly majestic.
There was also the Thunder Light enveloped Fish Skin Drum, the dark blue turtle shell made Water Repelling Armor, the Flying Escape Device weaved from mist and cloud.
All made him drool.
However, in the end, Li Quanqing wiped the corner of his mouth, preparing to choose a Green Carp Sword.
Wasn't this treasure selection a test for him by his senior brother?
Having a Green Carp Sword for reference, accompanying him day and night, was undoubtedly beneficial for an Artifact Refining Apprentice.
Li Quanqing chose a Green Carp Sword adorned with golden patterns.
It was made from the scales of a Golden Pattern Variant, a bit of a waste of material, but it really caught his eye.
Most importantly, Li Quanqing noticed a bit of residual fiery energy that hadn't dissipated on this Flying Sword.
Obviously, this was a Magic Artifact newly refined in recent decades and it had not yet seen blood, most likely not second-hand.
Li Quanqing called out to the Array Spirit, and finally, it responded.
The Green Jade Carp leisurely swam up to the Lotus Platform, then head-butted it, and together with the intertwined Array Patterns shield, disintegrated into myriad points of light and vanished.
"Why do I feel a tragic vibe?"
Li Quanqing's expression was odd.
Spiritual Energy diffused, a green Flying Sword emerged, over two feet long, surrounded by golden halo, crafted as if from Jade.
Li Quanqing tried to lift the Green Carp Sword, and immediately felt his wrist sink, weighing seventy to eighty pounds, quite astounding.
"Flying Sword, rise!"
Li Quanqing channeled Mana into the sword, successfully imprinting his breath, and swept his hand over it.
Immediately, the Green Carp Sword began waveringly to fly, circling him up and down, flying more and more steadily, fast as a shooting star!
Seeing this, Li Quanqing was quite satisfied, even if he knew no Sword Techniques, just this weight and hardness thrown out could have the power of an artillery shell.
Low Rank Flying Swords were all like this, ensuring speed while the heavier is better, the harder is stronger.
Never mind any Magic Talismans, shield Spirit Armors, I'll just smash you directly with one sword from the heavens.
As for the so-called Sword Control Freedom, Sword Qi like a rainbow, turning sword light into threads, taking the enemy's head from miles away.
Those are not things a Qi Refining cultivator should consider.
Can't even achieve Man Sword Unity, and still thinking about controlling the sword to fly?
Honest to goodness, just use a Flying Artifact!
