The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
22. Chapter 22: Who's of No Use? (3)
Among the valleys, within the lush green forest, little master Ling stood among the crowd, enjoying his status as a respected leader among the group. Suddenly, from the corner of his eyes, he saw Gu Ruoyun walking out of the crowd.
An overbearing smile bloomed on his gentle face. "Wait and just look, Gu Ruoyun! When our duel time comes, I will make you kneel before me and call me grandfather!"
…
Spiritual energy abounded within the Heavenly Spirit Formation, far more than anything available in the outside world. If Gu Ruoyun were to cultivate here and utilize the help of the Qi Gathering Pill, she would definitely break through to level four at the Qi Collection rank in less than a month.
Therefore, after entering the Celestial Spirit Formation, he first convinced Luo Yin to go to another area to practice and find a cave for himself to cultivate.
At this moment, Gu Ruoyun sat cross-legged inside the cave, letting a faint wisp of spiritual energy slowly swallow her body. They were absorbed into his open pores as it seeped into his spiritual sea.
Gu Ruoyun felt an unspeakable comfort as she watched the spiritual energy slowly flow into her spiritual sea.
Time passed as the minutes and seconds continued to roll. During that period of time, he remained hidden inside the cave, cultivating. Most people who hadn't seen him for a long time assumed that he had died in the claws of a demonic beast.
As everyone began to believe that he was dead, a faint wave of spiritual energy was seen sweeping through a cave not too far from the door of the Heavenly Spirit Formation. Although the fluctuation was not great, anyone who was near the cave could feel it clearly.
"I finally broke through to level four in the Qi Collection rank."
Gu Ruoyun opened her eyes and muttered, "I wonder how long it has been."
As he spoke, a demonic voice spoke calmly from within his soul, "It's been almost twenty days."
"Twenty days?" Gu Ruoyun trembled, "I think it's been a month, I didn't expect it to be twenty days. This was all thanks to the Qi Gathering Pill. Without him, I might not be able to break through. Even the moon won't be enough."
Gu Ruoyun's throat stiffened at the thought of that. He had a feeling that his achievements in this life would at least be on par with his achievements from his previous life.
"mm?"
Suddenly, Gu Ruoyun felt a strange energy fluctuation from within the cave. A hint of shock flashed across his face, "What a powerful spiritual energy! That ... Is it a spiritual weapon? But I didn't even feel its aura when I came here. Could it be that I accidentally touched something while I was cultivating?"
At that moment, his heart almost jumped from his chest.
"It's a spiritual weapon, unlike any other weapon!" He thinks to himself. After all, spiritual weapons carried spiritual energy. And if one obtained a high grade spiritual weapon, it would even contain sword spirits that could manifest in battle. In a duel, if two opponents had the same level of strength, but one used an ordinary weapon and the other used a spiritual weapon, the latter would definitely win in the end.
Most importantly, spiritual weapons did not appear just like nowhere like cabbages. You can even say that it is a rare invention. Even Gu Ruoyun herself could not obtain it in her previous life.
He certainly did not expect to find such a treasure in just a few days. Most people would kill to have this.
"It was indeed a fluctuation of a spiritual weapon. Take a look, little girl. Maybe you'll find an unexpected gift."
"Good."
Gu Ruoyun nodded. But what he could not understand was this - how could the members of the Weapon Refining Sect not know the existence of this spiritual weapon? Otherwise, why didn't they claim it as their own?
"No!" He thinks.
"The Weapon Refining Sect prioritizes weapon purification. They could not possibly miss the spiritual weapons," he reasoned, "So why was this spiritual weapon left here for such a long time, and why did no one take it? "
