Fantasy: I Can Instantly Comprehend Everything - Chapter 66

All the lights in the auction house were turned off, and only one black-robed man was holding an item on the stage.

Next to the black-robed man, five light pillars emitting spiritual energy were emitting a moonlight-like light, shining on the object in his hand!

“All guests, please take note that this is a spiritual artifact found in a large sect that has been destroyed for three hundred years. It is said that this spiritual artifact was hidden in a secret place in the sect leader’s palace at that time. It is very likely to be the sect-protecting spiritual weapon!” The black-robed man raised the object, allowing the light to focus on its body!

As soon as the sect-protecting spiritual weapon was revealed, everyone present couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise!

Even Zhou Yun could not help but look at the spiritual weapon!

!!

He had once seen Ling Qingyun use the Spirit Valley’s sect-protecting spiritual weapon during the sect’s initiation ceremony!

With every movement of Ling Qingyun, the sky changed and dark clouds rolled. It was as if a real immortal had descended!

At that time, Zhou Yun had been shocked by the power of the Spirit Valley’s sect-protecting spiritual weapon!

Unexpectedly, the first item up for auction in the Treasure Pavilion was a spiritual weapon of the same level as the spiritual weapon of the Spirit Valley!

“Although it’s a good gimmick as the first opening auction item, don’t be fooled so easily.” Su Lingyun didn’t even look at the spiritual weapon that had attracted everyone’s attention. She was slowly going through the list of auction items issued by the auction house.

“A true sect-protecting spiritual weapon must be personally watched over by the sect leaders of each generation and continuously nurtured with spiritual energy. Only then will it continue to grow stronger, even breaking through its limits and advancing in quality.” Su Lingyun put down the list of items and pointed at the spiritual weapon.

“This spiritual weapon might have been comparable to Spirit Valley’s sect-protecting spiritual weapon three hundred years ago, but after three hundred years, it can’t compare to my sword without the nourishment of spiritual energy. Su Lingyun touched the sword in her hand.

Zhou Yun nodded, not fully understanding. He realized that in this world, not only would cultivators lose their cultivation after leaving the sect due to the depletion of spiritual energy, even spiritual weapons would lose their cultivation!

He was a little disappointed. If that was the case, then when he entered the land of opportunity in the future or even found the place of death of some powerful being, the peerless sword he picked up might become scrap metal!

Zhou Yun suddenly thought that if he really had a ring, even if there was a powerful old man living in it, he would probably die because of the loss of spiritual energy in this world!

Zhou Yun realized that spiritual energy was the foundation of everything. If Spirit Valley’s spiritual energy was exhausted one day, then even if he cultivated to the late-stage foundation establishment and became a golden core grand cultivator, wouldn’t he slowly lose his spiritual energy and become a mortal?

During the battle with the heretic cultivators, Zhou Yun released all of his spiritual energy and slashed out with the heaven-splitting sword, wiping out all the heretic cultivators in one fell swoop. However, he also fell into a state where he lost all his spiritual energy.

At that time, Zhou Yun felt that he was not much stronger than an ordinary person. It was as if he had returned to the time when he had just entered the sect a year ago, or in the previous world, when he was still on the Blue Planet and was just an ordinary person!

“Although I don’t have to worry about the lack of spiritual power of the heavens and the earth now, I might have to think about how I can prevent myself from using up all my spiritual power if I need to fight in the outside world again.” Zhou Yun became alert. In the previous battle, he had been too eager for success.

Although he had eliminated the heretic cultivator, he had also fallen into a state of no spiritual power. If Su Lingyun had not been around, he would not have been able to leave Fenghua City after losing his spiritual power!

He might even die in the wilderness and become the first foundation cultivator to die from a lack of spiritual energy!

Just as Zhou Yun was thinking hard about how to avoid running out of spiritual energy during the battle, Su Lingyun clapped her hands and attracted his attention.

“The lack of spiritual energy is not something a little foundation establishment cultivator like you should think about.” Su Lingyun threw a spiritual fruit to Zhou Yun and pointed at herself. “Don’t worry. I’ll teach you how to fight in the outside world. This is one of the reasons why master asked me to bring you out.

“After all, it’s been a long time since the spiritual power of the heavens and earth has been so scarce. Over the past thousand years, we’ve found many ways to avoid dying from a lack of spiritual power in the outside world.” Su Lingyun said as she patted Zhou Yun’s shoulder.

Su Lingyun was very satisfied that Zhou Yun was able to recover from his first battle so quickly without being arrogant or impatient and had found the factors that she needed to pay attention to.

She finally understood why Venerable Xunling had found Zhou Yun. Perhaps, Zhou Yun was really heaven’s favorite!

Zhou Yun nodded. After listening to Su Lingyun’s words, he didn’t continue to argue.

After all, what was more important now was the items in the auction house. He really needed a spiritual sword to increase his strength!

If he had a good spiritual sword before, it would not have been so difficult to kill the spiritual corpse!

However, other than the sect-protecting spiritual weapon, the rest of the items were all treasures that were needed for qi refining or foundation establishment.

Zhou Yun was not interested in these things. What he needed was something that could increase his strength!

“This is the list. There will be three spiritual swords in this auction. They are the Blue Water Sword, the Falling Wind Sword, and the Thicket Rain Sword.” Su Lingyun passed the list of the auction to Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun took it and took a look. He discovered that other than the last sword that was displayed as an unknown, the three spiritual swords were all at the back of the auction list. Especially the Thicket Rain Sword, it was ranked second to last in the entire auction!

However, Zhou Yun frowned when he read the introduction about the Thicket Rain Sword.

That was because the Thicket Rain Sword was a water attribute spiritual sword!

“Although the Thicket Rain Sword is the most valuable and the most powerful, it’s not suitable for you. Your sword intent isn’t suitable for the Thicket Rain Sword. Therefore, I suggest that you consider the Falling Wind Sword. Although the Setting Sun Sword Intent and the Falling Wind Sword are not very compatible, with the completion of your sword intent and the great stage of sword control technique, the Falling Wind Sword will still be able to give you a huge increase in combat power.” Su Lingyun was helping Zhou Yun to analyze the situation.

She knew that there wasn’t much time left until the Five Sects Tournament, and the auction held by the Treasure Pavilion wouldn’t be held every day. Moreover, she could still find rare and suitable spiritual swords from the auction.

“It’s okay, Senior Sister Su, please bid for the Thicket Rain Sword for me!” Zhou Yun’s furrowed brows suddenly relaxed as he read the introduction of the Thicket Rain Sword.

Perhaps for others, cultivating sword intent would require thousands of days of bitter cultivation.

However, he had the system, so he could enter the state of enlightenment at any time!

If he got his hands on the Thicket Rain Sword, he would only have cultivated the Thicket Rain Sword intent for a few days!

“Alright, we’ll do as you say,” Su Lingyun glanced at Zhou Yun. She didn’t ask why but agreed with Zhou Yun’s choice.

Very quickly, the auction items were sold one by one, and the auction reached its climax!

The second last item was brought up. At this moment, the entire auction house was shining with a golden light that was even brighter than the silver moonlight!

The Thicket Rain Sword was carried up with a golden glow!
