Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 136 - 134 Qingluo Robe

Chapter 136 -134 Qingluo Robe

Qin Feng returned to the Mountain Gate, and while he was going to the Foreign Affairs Hall to hand over his completed assignments, he paused in front of the mission stone wall to look for another suitable assignment to deal with Demon Beasts.

Such assignments were in fact quite numerous, but most were located far from the Sect, with few as close as Sang City which was only three thousand li away.

This was, after all, to be expected, as it was hardly conceivable for the Beast Taming Sect’s core controlled area to have many Demon Beast upheavals; otherwise, the Sect would no place to save face.

Since there were no more Demon Beast elimination assignments near the Sect, he did not take on any new tasks.

As the opening of the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm was not far off, coupled with several days of travel to reach it, he felt it best to stay at the Mountain Gate to avoid missing the event.

After some thought, he went to the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion in Qingyun Square, planning to purchase some treasures to save his life.

...

He first visited the Spiritual Medicine Area, where he bought a good number of Elixir Pills, mainly those for treating injuries and restoring True Yuan and Divine Sense. Common types such as Healing Powder, Hemostatic Pill, Protecting Organ Pill, Protecting Veins Pill, and Bone Healing Pill, he bought two to three bottles of each to have on hand.

As for the more expensive Revive Pill, Yunshen Pill, and Life Creation Pill, he did not pass them up.

Although these few types of Elixir Pills were pricey, they could be lifesaving miracle medicines at critical moments. The only problem was after purchasing them, he had spent most of his Spirit Stones, leaving only about fifteen to sixteen hundred.

The ordinary Elixir Pills were manageable, not too pricey, totaling a few hundred Spirit Stones. But Elixir Pills like the Revive Pill were worth hundreds of Spirit Stones each, so he didn’t dare buy too many, picking up only one or two of each type. Even so, it nearly emptied his pocket of Spirit Stones.

Qin Feng, enduring the pang of spending so much, left the Elixir Pills area, and even briefly considered whether he should learn Alchemy in the future, as becoming an Alchemist didn’t seem like a bad idea.

But he quickly abandoned this thought.

Putting aside whether he was cut out to be an Alchemist, considering that the war of the Sects was not far off, it would be the height of folly to focus on learning Alchemy instead of using the Demon Refining Pot to enhance his own strength.

Alchemy requires years of accumulation to achieve a higher degree of proficiency, and he simply did not have that much spare time right now.

Only by improving his strength as much as possible could he survive the upcoming war. Once he survived, he could seize ample resources from the war, which seemed much better than becoming an Alchemist.

Of course, if he became stronger in the future and had more spare time, he wouldn’t mind researching the skill of Alchemy; who knows, he might even make some achievements.

With these thoughts in mind, Qin Feng stepped into the area selling Spiritual Artifacts.

With his current war power, ordinary Magic Artifacts were practically useless in his hands. The wings of the Ruyi Golden Snake were comparable to Divine Weapons: not only extremely sturdy but also incredibly sharp. If he could reinforce them with the Ruyi Golden Light, they would certainly not fall short of a Flying Sword at the Spiritual Artifact Level.

No wonder his family had not accumulated many Spiritual Artifacts over the years. First, there was little use in having too many Spiritual Artifacts, as the family only had two or three Foundation Establishment Cultivators who could use them; second, their Lifebound Spiritual Beasts were so powerful that they seldom needed to use Spiritual Artifacts.

This attitude was shared by the majority of the Beast Taming Sect Disciples. Given the choice of resources, they would rather spend them on their Lifebound Spiritual Beasts.

“Senior Brother, could you introduce me to some Spiritual Artifacts with strong defensive capabilities?”

Qin Feng wanted to first look at defensive Spiritual Artifacts. If there were any Spirit Stones left after purchasing a defensive Spiritual Artifact, he would then buy an offensive one. If not enough Spirit Stones remained, he would temporarily forego purchasing.

However, after looking around for a while without finding anything to his liking, he felt dizzy from the array of Spiritual Artifacts and decided not to search on his own any longer, instead turning to ask a Servant Disciple for assistance.

The Servant Disciple, in his thirties with low Cultivation at around the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refinement, likely was not talented or promising enough, or he wouldn’t be working there.

Seeing that Qin Feng, a disciple in the late stage of Qi Refinement, referred to him as Senior Brother, the disciple felt somewhat pleased and smiled, “Junior Brother wants a defensive Spiritual Artifact, may I know which type you are interested in?

Defensive Spiritual Artifacts can be divided into many kinds. The most common are Shields, Armor, and Magic Robes.”

As he spoke, he took several Spiritual Artifacts from the counter and placed them in front of Qin Feng.

Qin Feng glanced at them: there was a palm-sized red bronze token, a fist-sized turtle shell, a metallic piece of Armor, and a purple Magic Robe.

“The token here is a Red Fire Token, forged from Red Copper at the Basic Level of Spiritual Artifacts. Not only is its defense solid, but it also has an exceptionally strong resistance against Fire Element Magic.

Next to it is the Turtle Shell Refining from a Profound Turtle’s shell. Though it’s a Middle-Grade Spiritual Artifact, its defensive power outclasses many Higher-Grade ones.

The Green Wood Armor offers strong defense on its own. Once activated, it also forms a Green Wood Barrier around the body, providing dual-layer protection.

And the last piece here is the Eight Trigrams Purple Cloud Robe. When attacked, it will manifest multiple layers of purple clouds for defense, making it quite a practical Magic Robe.

Apart from these, many other types of defensive Spiritual Artifacts are available.”

During his explanation, he took out a few more items from behind and continued, “This Nine-Tiered Pagoda is modeled after the Spirit Treasure Exquisite Tower and can not only protect oneself but also trap opponents inside and Refine them with Spiritual Fire.

The White Jade Tripod beside it is not for Alchemy but purely a defensive Spiritual Artifact. When attacked, one can hover it above their head, and it will automatically cast a protective Spell.

And that Green Paper Umbrella, known as the Sealing Spirit Umbrella, can fend off enemies when opened and Seal Ghosts when closed. If encountering sinister Ghost Items, it has a unique effect.”

“What about this bowl?”

Qin Feng pointed curiously at a big, black bowl next to him. The rim seemed to have a chip missing, making it look somewhat shabby.

“This one?”

The servant disciple chuckled lightly, “This is no ordinary bowl. It is a Spiritual Artifact refined by a wandering Beggar King Senior who later developed a craving for alcohol and exchanged this bowl for a few jars of Spiritual Wine.

Despite its unattractive appearance, its defensive power is actually quite decent. How about it, junior brother, are you interested?”

“Forget it.”

Qin Feng shook his head.

It was too ugly, and he wasn’t interested. He had only asked out of curiosity.

“Then, junior brother, what type of artifact has caught your eye? If you don’t fancy any of these, I have many more, and you’re bound to find one you like.”

Qin Feng surveyed the Spiritual Artifacts on the counter and finally asked, “Senior brother, could you show me a few more magic robes?”

He ultimately wanted to select a magic robe with strong defensive power because many magic robes had trigger-based defenses, which didn’t require any extra spell casting from him.

“Oh, you’re interested in magic robes?”

The servant disciple’s eyes gleamed, as among the defense artifacts, robes tend to be relatively expensive.

“Just wait a moment.”

The servant disciple put away the other artifacts and took out a dozen or so robes, presenting them one by one, “Purple Cloud Robe, Qingluo Robe, Fiery Flame Robe, Water-Shielding Robe, Ice Silkworm Robe, Thunder Robe…”

He introduced Qin Feng to twelve different magic robes of Spiritual Artifact Level, each with a remarkable defensive ability and some providing extra powerful defenses against specific spells.

In the end, Qin Feng chose a Qingluo Robe, refined from Heavenly Silkworm Silk.

This robe was produced by the Heavenly Silkworm Peak of the Beast Taming Sect; an artifact from his own sect was a bit more trustworthy. Besides, the robe’s defense was indeed satisfactory.

Heavenly Silkworm Silk was very flexible on its own. Even without defense enhancements, it was difficult to cut through with ordinary magic artifacts.

Moreover, this robe was not only made of high-quality material but could also deploy a Qingluo Magic Shield, offering him all-encompassing protection.

However, defensive artifacts were inherently pricey, and robes, being considered somewhat of a luxury, were even more expensive.

The most common low-grade Spiritual Artifacts could be bought for three to five hundred Spirit Stones, middle-grade artifacts started at least at seven to eight hundred, and middle-grade robes were priced even higher, usually around one thousand. In the end, considering they were from the same sect, he was given a discount and paid nine hundred Spirit Stones.

After buying the robe, Qin Feng felt the remaining few Spirit Stones in his possession and ultimately decided to exchange them all for a few second-order Spirit Talismans to prepare for unexpected needs.

Having made his purchases, Qin Feng was now left with only a few dozen Spirit Stones, even poorer than when he first joined the sect.

However, no one would foolishly carry a load of Spirit Stones into the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm to seek treasures. Qin Feng believed that over ninety percent of cultivators would exchange their Spirit Stones for various life-saving treasures before venturing into the Secret Realm.

After returning, he went to find Qin Xi and Qin Ying to inform them that he had obtained a slot to enter the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm from Liu Xuanling.

Upon receiving this news, Qin Ying felt both joy and concern.

He was pleased that two younger relatives had been granted the opportunity by two Peak Masters to enter the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm, a clear indication of their potential.

Having spent decades in the Beast Taming Sect, he was certainly aware of the benefits of the Secret Realm. If Qin Feng and Qin Xi could obtain treasures from within, it was possible they would soar to great heights in the future.

What worried him, however, was that the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm was not a benign place. It was extremely dangerous, and once inside, cultivators from various sects wouldn’t necessarily abide by any rules. Indeed, some disciples from smaller sects might even take the opportunity to launch sneak attacks on those from larger ones.

Moreover, the Secret Realm itself was dangerous, harboring both ancient sects’ various prohibition arrays and descendants of ancient Spiritual Beasts.

Of course, there were no overly powerful Spiritual Beasts present. Even if there were, they would be under various restrictions; otherwise, the sects wouldn’t dare to let their disciples venture inside to explore for treasures and resources.

Regarding Qin Feng also going to the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm, Qin Xi felt helpless but refrained from objecting, as there was not much a minor Qi Refining disciple like her could do against Liu Xuanling’s personal nomination. If Qin Feng rejected it, he would undoubtedly be viewed less favorably in the future.

After discussing the matter with Qin Ying, they returned to make their final preparations.

Several days later, Liu Xuanling called for them, and they headed to the Mountain Gate’s Grand Hall to gather with everyone else, ready to depart.

PS: Brothers, starting from now the chapter that was usually posted at nine in the morning will be delayed by an hour to ten o’clock, as I would only be able to produce around two thousand words due to time constraints, which seems a bit short. If I delay until ten, I’ll try to write over three thousand words. Otherwise, it feels too rushed to fully express a plot point.
