Chapter 71 - The Living Honourable Scion
As for the spirit refinement, Bai Xiaochun paid closer attention to it because he had the Turtle-shell Pot. He had known for a long while that there was a Foundation Establishment Elder who was an expert in spirit refinement in the Purple Cauldron Mountain.
There were disciples from the sect that would go to that Foundation Establishment Elder, and after paying a certain amount of Contribution Points, they would request that Elder’s assistance. One or two refinements was alright, but after the second time, the success rate would plummet down.
It seemed that these two magic weapons had already contained three spiritual refinements in itself, saving Bai Xiaochun a three-coloured fire. Moreover, he did not need to conceal it and he could openly use it in front of anyone..
When he returned to the Scented Cloud Mountain, Bai Xiaochun quickly went to train with the Golden Crow Sword and the Divine Crane Shield. When Bai Xiaochun’s spiritual Qi fused with the Golden Crow Sword, it immediately emitted a very high temperature.
“This is a true treasure!” Bai Xiaochun inhaled deeply and made a hand seal. When he pointed forward, with a buzzing sound, the Golden Crow Sword turned into a golden ray of light, heading off into the distance in an instant. Along the way, even more heat spread out, forming a string of warped waves.
Bai Xiaochun formed a hand seal again and large amounts of his spiritual Qi surged into the Golden Crow Sword. The radiance from that Golden Crow Sword suddenly expanded several times and actually turned into an illusory Golden Crow.
This appearance of the bird was blurry. Even though it was only an outline, but in the instant that it appeared, a strong overbearing feeling suddenly spread out, causing the surrounding temperature to surge in an instant. Even Bai Xiaochun could feel his mind shudder under its imposing aura.
His breathing was rapid as he fixed his eyes on the Golden Crow Sword. The light in his eyes shone brighter and brighter until he finally bursted in a joyful laughter.
“This sword is definitely much better than my small wooden sword. It really is great having a Master.” Bai Xiaochun jumped up in a flash, stepping on top of that illusory Golden Crow.
Even though that Golden Crow was blurry, when Bai Xiaochun stepped on top of it, it was actually like stepping on even ground. Especially since the sword relied on his body’s spiritual energy to take form, it made him feel as though the sword was a part of his own body.
He stepped on the Golden Crow and with a hand seal, he immediately whistled through the air and circled the Scented Cloud Mountain speedily. He hastily slowed down where people crowded with his head held high as bursts of surprised cries sounded from below. Only then would Bai Xiaochun proudly increase his speed.
“I, Bai Xiaochun, can finally fly!” Bai Xiaochun was in high spirits, laughing excitedly from the bottom of his heart as he left the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion. As he was about to head to the other mountain peaks for a spin, the Golden Crow beneath his feet suddenly dimmed, disappearing in an instant. The Golden Crow Sword also unexpectedly began falling. Bai Xiaochun staggered and let out a frightened scream as his body plummeted down.
Fortunately, the area down below was not a chasm, but the sect’s road. His own speed was very fast, only after he landed did he manage to stop. He glanced to the side of the Scented Cloud Mountain. The distance from where he had fallen to the bottom of the mountain was quite large. If he had fallen all the way down, perhaps even his Impenetrable Skin wouldn’t save him from death… His face paled slightly.
“This was too dangerous!” Bai Xiaochun shivered and picked up the Golden Crow Sword. He realised that the spiritual Qi in his body was depleted and understood the reason as to why he had fallen down just now.
To a Qi Condensation cultivator, driving a sword to fly consumed too much spiritual energy. If it was any seventh level Qi Condensation disciple, the most that they could sustain it for was a dozen or so breaths before they would have no choice but to stop flying. Even Bai Xiaochun, who had a lot more spiritual energy in his body, could also not sustain it for more than a hundred breaths.
Bai Xiaochun did not dare continue trying out of fear from falling to his death. He quickly surveyed his surroundings, checking if there was anyone who had witnessed this embarrassing scene. He immediately discovered that not far away, there was a sturdy-looking man currently looking at him blankly with his mouth wide-open, shocked by the scene that he had just witnessed.
“Oh, isn’t that Nephew Wolf?” When Bai Xiaochun noticed the other party, he immediately glared at him and quickly ran over to him.
Only now did that sturdy-looking man come to his senses. When he heard those two words, ‘Nephew Wolf’, he shuddered and quickly payed his respects to Bai Xiaochun with a long face.
“Disciple Liu Ergou pays his respects to Senior Uncle Bai… I-I saw nothing just now.” This Liu Ergou was that fellow who had introduced himself as Mr.Wolf back when the Burning Stoves Kitchen was auctioning the positions of outer sect disciples.
Bai Xiaochun humphed a couple times, frightening him a bit. Not until he had confirmed that Liu Ergou would not speak of this matter to anyone did Bai Xiaochun pat him on the shoulder, promising him great benefits, and walk away.
Liu Ergou wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly left.
Bai Xiaochun was glad that only Liu Ergou had seen him embarrass himself. If he had fallen down at the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion while in the limelight, then his reputation would be completely ruined...
“Alas, one really shouldn’t be too famous. Being famous is also troublesome.” Bai Xiaochun sighed emotionally, walking back to his courtyard with hands clasped behind.
After brief hesitation, decisiveness flashed in his eyes.
“This will not do. I still need to cultivate, if not, being unable to fly for long would be the least of my problems. If by any chance when I am running for my life in the future and I died not because I was killed by an enemy but because I had fallen to my death, I would feel wronged.” Bai Xiaochun thought to this point and then paused his eyes on the Golden Crow Sword and the Divine Crane Shield.
“Moreover, with considerations for the future, I better cover up these two treasures. This way, other people would only think that this is just my hobby, and when I take out other spiritually refined treasures in the future, they won’t pay too much attention to it.” Bai Xiaochun thought about it and took out those colourful saps that he had prepared long ago, smearing them on the Golden Crow Sword and the Divine Crane Shield.
