119: Chapter 119 Natal Magic Treasure

After listening to Jiang Lijuan's detailed explanation, the confusion in Qin Changsheng's eyes finally dissipated, replaced by deep shock and sudden realization.

He finally understood why he had never heard of a Lifebound Treasure.

He had been too mediocre in the past and lacked guidance, so he had absolutely no idea that such a crucial Opportunity existed after Foundation Establishment;

And even though he had the support of his Golden Trait, he had never encountered this secret because he had been rushing to achieve Breakthroughs and deal with crises along the way.

So, Foundation Establishment Cultivators had a reliance like a Lifebound Treasure!

Fortunately, Jiang Lijuan mentioned it today; if he had remained ignorant and missed the optimal time to forge a Lifebound Treasure, his path of Cultivation would have been fraught with difficulties even if he managed to achieve future Breakthroughs.

Hu Nan's tone carried a hint of gratitude: "Thank you, Senior Sister Jiang, for informing me. If not for you, I would still be unaware of the secret of the Lifebound Treasure."

Jiang Lijuan waved her hand lightly: "Junior Brother, there is no need to be so polite. We are old acquaintances, and it is only right that I inform you of this."

"Junior Brother Hu Nan, the most crucial element in forging a Lifebound Treasure is the artifact embryo. The higher the grade of the artifact embryo, the greater the potential of the forged Lifebound Treasure, and the wider its room for future growth. Do you have any Magical Artifacts of High Grade Xuan-Grade or above in your possession to use as an artifact embryo for your Lifebound Treasure?"

Jiang Lijuan continued asking.

A Magical Artifact of High Grade Xuan-Grade or above?

Qin Changsheng shook his head slightly.

He did indeed possess one High Grade Earth-Grade Magical Artifact.

However, that Magical Artifact was damaged and could only be used once.

It was absolutely impossible to use it as an artifact embryo for a Lifebound Treasure.

At the same time, Qin Changsheng also thought of the Secret Treasure within Qingyun Lake.

However, there was a Golden Core Yao Beast surrounding that Secret Treasure.

After achieving Foundation Establishment, Qin Changsheng had controlled Hu Nan to enter twice.

However, both times he had been killed by that Golden Core Yao Beast.

Hu Nan shook his head slightly, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness: "Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. To be honest, I have been struggling in the Outer Sect all this time and lacked resources for Cultivation. Let alone a High Grade Xuan-Grade Magical Artifact, I have never even possessed a common Low Grade Xuan-Grade Magical Artifact."

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding appeared on Jiang Lijuan's face, confirming her suspicions.

She should have guessed earlier that since Hu Nan had struggled all the way to Foundation Establishment without any support and lacked resources, and did not even know about a Lifebound Treasure, he certainly would not have a suitable Magical Artifact to use as an artifact embryo.

She frowned, thinking to herself that ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators would usually prepare a Magical Artifact of Low Grade Xuan-Grade or above in advance. However, Junior Brother Hu Nan was completely unprepared; if he used an ordinary Magical Artifact as an artifact embryo, the potential of his Lifebound Treasure would be limited, which would certainly affect his future path of Cultivation.

After thinking for a long time, a glint suddenly flashed in Jiang Lijuan's eyes, and she said slowly to Hu Nan: "Junior Brother, there is no need to be too anxious. Magical Artifacts of High Grade Xuan-Grade or above are indeed rare, and it is fine if you do not have one for now. If you really cannot find a suitable artifact embryo, why not try your luck at the Sword Villa in six years?"

"The Sword Villa?" Qin Changsheng's eyes were filled with confusion.

It was the first time he had heard the name of the Sword Villa.

Jiang Lijuan did not hide anything and slowly began to explain: "Junior Brother, you may not know this, but the Sword Villa does not belong to our Heavenly Sword Sect; it is a famous sword-casting villa in the entire Immortal Realm!"

"The sword-casters within the villa have superb skills and can forge high-quality swords, and they can even occasionally forge Earth-Grade Magical Artifacts."

"Earth-Grade Magical Artifacts?!" Deep shock flashed in the depths of Qin Changsheng's eyes.

Although he did not know many details about the grades of Magical Artifacts, he knew that they were divided into Yellow-Grade, Xuan-Grade, Earth-Grade, and Heaven-Grade.

Above Xuan-Grade was Earth-Grade. Earth-Grade Magical Artifacts were powerful, far surpassing Xuan-Grade ones. If he could obtain an Earth-Grade Magical Artifact to use as an artifact embryo for his Lifebound Treasure, his future potential would be limitless.

Jiang Lijuan watched his shocked expression and continued: "Junior Brother, do not get too excited. Earth-Grade Magical Artifacts are extremely rare, and the Sword Villa cannot forge them at will."

"In fact, only once every hundred years will the Sword Villa concentrate its efforts to forge a single Low Grade Earth-Grade Magical Artifact longsword. This Earth-Grade longsword will not be sold separately, nor will it be given to anyone; instead, it will be mixed among ten thousand ordinary longswords."

She paused, then added key information in detail: "In six years, it will happen to be the day the Sword Villa opens the Sword Imperial Pool. At that time, the Sword Villa will place all ten thousand longswords into the Sword Imperial Pool for all Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the world to choose from. As long as one is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, regardless of which Sect they come from, one can enter the Sword Imperial Pool to select a sword by paying five thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

"However, these ten thousand longswords look exactly the same; there is no difference in appearance. It is impossible to distinguish which one is the Low Grade Earth-Grade longsword, which one is an ordinary Low Grade Yellow-Grade longsword, and which one is a Low Grade Xuan-Grade Magical Artifact."

Jiang Lijuan spread her hands, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness, yet also a hint of anticipation, "So, whether or not you can select that Low Grade Earth-Grade longsword depends entirely on personal luck. If you are lucky, you can obtain an Earth-Grade Magical Artifact for five thousand Spirit Stones;"

"If you are unlucky, you might obtain a Low Grade Xuan-Grade Magical Artifact!"

"And if you are unlucky, you might only get an ordinary Low Grade Yellow-Grade longsword!"

Hearing Jiang Lijuan's explanation, Qin Changsheng understood what she meant.

She was suggesting that Qin Changsheng spend five thousand Spirit Stones to try his luck at the Sword Villa.

Even if Qin Changsheng could not obtain that Low Grade Earth-Grade longsword, he could still obtain a Low Grade Xuan-Grade Magical Artifact longsword to use as a sword embryo for his Lifebound Treasure.

However, in his heart, Qin Changsheng was thinking about that Low Grade Earth-Grade longsword.

Because Qin Changsheng possessed the Golden Trait Intelligence.

He only needed to know the name of that Low Grade Earth-Grade Magical Artifact longsword.

Then he would be able to obtain all the information and the location of the Low Grade Earth-Grade Magical Artifact.

At that time, Qin Changsheng would definitely be able to easily obtain the Earth-Grade Magical Artifact.

Six years was enough time for him to stabilize his Cultivation and increase his mana.

If he were fortunate enough to select that Low Grade Earth-Grade longsword, he could take a solid step forward on his path of Cultivation, and even surpass many Cultivators with superior Spiritual Roots.

Hu Nan slowly raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Lijuan: "Thank you, Senior Sister Jiang, for informing me. This Opportunity is too important to me! If not for you, I probably wouldn't even know about such an Opportunity!"

Jiang Lijuan nodded gently: "Junior Brother, there is no need to be so polite. The day the Sword Villa opens the Sword Imperial Pool is open to all Foundation Establishment Cultivators!"

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Jiang Lijuan stood up and left.

...

...

Heavenly Sword Sect.

Outer Sect courtyard.

Qin Changsheng waved his hand gently, and that Jade Slip appeared in his hand.

The glistening white Jade Slip emitted faint fluctuations of spiritual power under the sunlight, and the two characters "Sword Flight" on the surface were archaic and vigorous, carrying the long-inherited "Basic Sword Flight Technique" of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Qin Changsheng did not rush to the Scripture Pavilion to acquire Fire Spells, nor did he plan for the Opportunity at the Sword Villa six years later; right now, mastering the Sword Flight Technique was his most urgent goal.

The Sword Flight Technique was not only a symbol of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but it could also increase his mobility, giving him more confidence to escape if he encountered retaliation.

Qin Changsheng sat cross-legged on the bluestone ground of the courtyard and slowly extended a wisp of his Divine Sense into the Sword Flight Jade Slip.

Instantly, countless archaic words and diagrams flooded into his mind, detailing the incantations for Sword Flight, the method of circulating spiritual power, and the tips for controlling a Flying Sword. It was easy to understand yet exquisite and profound; just as Sect Leader Xuanyangzi had said, he could grasp its essence without expending too much mental energy.
