Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 12836 Good Sword
Of course, as an important resource for cultivation, Ling Xiao naturally wants more Lingshi. He knows that only with sufficient Lingshi can he support his dream of constantly breaking through himself and climbing to the peak of martial arts.

Therefore, when he saw the mountains of spirit stones in Shangguan Yu's storage ring, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

However, what made Ling Xiao even more excited was that he found a middle-grade earth-level sword in Shangguan Yu's storage ring. The sword was shining with cold light, revealing a fierce momentum, as if it could cut off all obstacles.

Ling Xiao knew very well that if this sword was devoured by his God-Slaying Sword Soul, it could at least allow the God-Slaying Sword to be promoted to a lower-grade Earth-level weapon.

Such an improvement will undoubtedly greatly increase his combat effectiveness.

It is said that the most suitable weapon for a master of the Wuhun Realm is a weapon of the Earth Venerable level.

This level of weapon is not only extremely sharp, but also contains powerful strength and spirituality, which can form a deep connection with the warrior and exert even more powerful power. Although Ling Xiao is only at the first level of the Primordial Realm, his actual combat power has definitely reached the level of the first level of the Spirit Realm.

Therefore, only weapons of the Earth Venerable level can match his current strength.

Ling Xiao stroked this mid-grade earth-level sword, his eyes flashing with a scorching light.

"Alas..." Jiu Lao looked at the lifeless body on the ground, feeling mixed emotions, and sighed, as if he wanted to pour out all his worries and helplessness. He looked into the distance, his eyes revealing deep worry.

Ling Xiao noticed Jiu Lao's expression, turned around, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then asked respectfully: "Senior, do you think that the way I handled this matter was too reckless?"

Jiu Lao retracted his gaze and turned to Ling Xiao, nodding slightly and said: "Do you know how terrifying the Empress's Palace is? Their power in the East China Sea is huge, and no one dares to provoke them easily. You killed Shangguan Yu today. With the Empress' temper, she will definitely not let it go. You will face endless pursuit and revenge."

Ling Xiao was slightly startled when he heard this, but then his face regained its composure. He replied calmly, "Oh, I understand." His tone was very calm, as if he did not take Jiu Lao's warning to heart.

Jiu Lao looked at Ling Xiao's nonchalant look and felt helpless. He knew Ling Xiao's character very well and knew that once he made a decision, he would not change it easily.

So, he could only continue to persuade: "Forget it, no matter what I say to you now, it is better for you to experience it yourself. But fortunately, these people are dead today. As long as the two of us don't speak, no one will know about this matter."

"By the time the Empress' Palace finds out, it may be a long time later. During this time, I hope you can work hard to cultivate and improve your strength. By then, you may have the power to protect yourself."

Jiu Lao's words were full of worry and expectation. He hoped that through his exhortation, Ling Xiao would realize the seriousness of the situation and make preparations in advance.

However, when he saw Ling Xiao's calm and determined eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He knew that although this young man was gifted, he also had an impulsive and adventurous personality, and he hoped that he could survive this storm safely.

"I thought so too," Ling Xiao said coldly, his eyes flashing with determination. "We killed them all just to silence them. These guys are too tight-lipped. If we leave them alive, there will be endless trouble."

He nodded, turned his gaze to Jiu Lao, and said in a slightly softer tone: "Jiu Lao, this matter has come to an end. Why don't you come back to Tianxiahui with me? The resources and environment there are more suitable for you."

Jiu Lao sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness on his face: "Ling Xiao, I have publicly announced my withdrawal from the Tianxia Association. If I go back, wouldn't it cause trouble for the Tianxia Association? Besides, the location of this cave is secret. If I stay here, I can accompany A Yao and continue my practice."

He paused, looking at Ling Xiao with deep eyes: "I have passed on everything I have learned in my life to you. If you encounter any confusion or puzzlement during the process of cultivation, you can come to me at any time. Although this place is remote, I will always be here waiting for your arrival."

Ling Xiao felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew that Jiu Lao was a man who valued friendship and loyalty. Although they were not master and disciple, he was deeply grateful for Jiu Lao's help and teachings.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Jiu Lao, your inheritance is priceless to me. But you still have 1 billion mid-grade spirit stones here, which is too much. I cannot accept it."

As he said that, Ling Xiao handed Jiu Lao's storage ring back.

Jiu Lao did not reach out to take it. He shook his head and said firmly, "Ling Xiao, I give it to you. There is no reason to take it back. What's more, I entrusted you to treat A Yao. These spirit stones are your hard work fee. In fact, these spirit stones are far from enough, but this is all I have."

Ling Xiao looked at Jiu Lao's determined eyes and was moved. He knew Jiu Lao was a man of his word, and since he had made a decision, he would not change it.

So, he took a deep breath and put away the storage ring again: "Okay, then I won't be polite!"

He is not the kind of person who likes to be shy. Now that things have come to this, there is no need to refuse.

In the next few days, Ling Xiao did not choose to return to the busy Tianxia Association, but chose to study the mysteries of the Holy Mark with Jiu Lao in this quiet cave. In the cave, the faint candlelight flickered, reflecting the focused and serious faces of the two.

Jiu Lao, this experienced researcher of holy patterns, has a look in his eyes that sparkles with his persistence and passion for holy pattern research.

During the conversation with Ling Xiao, he elaborated on his unique insights into the enhancement of the power of the Holy Mark under the special laws of the Bai Ze Continent. These insights were unique and profound, like beams of light, illuminating Ling Xiao's confusion on the road of Holy Mark research.

Ling Xiao listened quietly, his eyes flashing with a desire for knowledge. He found that although he had dabbled in the holy runes, his understanding was still somewhat flawed compared to Jiu Lao, especially that it did not fit in with the laws of this continent.

Jiu Lao's insights are not only profound but also innovative, which makes Ling Xiao sigh that his previous explorations are ultimately not as fast as the guidance of a famous teacher.

During his in-depth communication with Ling Xiao, Jiu Lao gradually discovered the incredible talent that this young man possessed. When discussing the field of holy patterns, Ling Xiao's performance shocked Jiu Lao.

No matter how profound and complex the theory Jiu Lao explained, Ling Xiao was always able to understand and absorb it quickly. He seemed to have an innate keen perception and could easily capture the subtle changes contained in the holy pattern.
