The Nine Dragons Stone is a spiritual treasure of this world, containing a unique power within it.
Fang Xuan held the Nine Dragons Stone in his palm, channeling the unique power within it into his body. Immediately, an extremely vast life force surged into his body. As it flowed, the wounds sustained from the previous battle healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, at other times, only a scar remained, and its color continued to lighten. Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the wounds on his body were completely healed. Aside from the slightly pale color at the wound sites, his skin was no different from the rest.
Fang Xuan's face was filled with ecstasy, and he exclaimed excitedly, "What a good thing! This Nine Dragons Stone is simply a spring of blood!"
As mentioned before, fighting is inevitable after entering the Immortal Feather Sect, and injuries are unavoidable. The Nine Dragons Stone can actually heal wounds. Such a treasure is truly an unexpected surprise.
A thought stirred in his mind.
"The forging of the Surpassing Frost Sword requires the Nine Dragons Stone as a key material. This means I can only choose one of the two. However, compared to an offensive treasure, this kind of healing treasure is even rarer. No matter what, living longer is the absolute truth," Fang Xuan muttered.
He made a decision in his heart: he could do without the Surpassing Frost Sword, but the Nine Dragons Stone must be taken away.
Finding the nearest city, Fang Xuan entered an inn to rest for a day. He took a bath and changed his clothes. His previous outfit was already like a beggar's rags from the fighting.
Sword Casting City is located in the Shu Region. The Shu Region has many mines, making it most suitable for forging weapons.
Although Sword Casting City is a neutral force in the entire martial world, no one dares to underestimate it in the slightest. Since its creation, it has been dedicated to forging all kinds of divine weapons and sharp tools. It possesses the most top-tier forging masters in the entire martial world. Most of the famous divine weapons and sharp tools in the martial world were forged in Sword Casting City.
Every martial artist in the martial world dreams of owning a weapon forged in Sword Casting City. What does a person need to roam the martial world?
The most powerful martial arts, the sharpest weapons, the most beautiful women, the strongest wine...
It's not that no one has had ideas about Sword Casting City, but no one has succeeded.
First is the City Lord of Sword Casting City, Sword Revered. Sword Revered himself is an unparalleled master. His family's unique skill, Riding Dragon Slash, combined with Sword Casting City's Blazing Flame Sword, can be said to be unmatched in power. Even He Lianba of the Sea Shark Palace dares not challenge his edge.
Secondly, it is the connections of Sword Casting City.
To survive in the martial world, weapons are essential. Sword Casting City can forge the best weapons. Countless martial world forces have business dealings with Sword Casting City, which has also expanded the connections of the city builders invisibly. Sometimes, when encountering an enemy, there is no need to act personally. Just by throwing out a divine weapon, countless people will risk their lives to help hunt down this enemy. If this enemy is relatively strong, then throw out the Blazing Flame Sword.
As the ultimate treasure of Sword Casting City, a peerless treasure sword that can only be forged once every ten years, those martial artists will definitely go crazy for this divine weapon. Offending Sword Casting City is equivalent to offending more than half of the martial world.
Being rich is just that willful, and having skills is also like this.
"Move aside, move aside, the Alliance Leader is arriving. Those who block the way will be killed without mercy."
On the second floor of the inn, through the window, one could see the Vermillion Bird Avenue in the distance. At this moment, a large group of people entered from the city gate, their attitude extremely arrogant.
Fang Xuan's brow furrowed slightly: "People from the Supreme Alliance. Guan Yutian is here? Could it be for the Surpassing Frost Sword?"
Considering the time, it was indeed about time.
Sixty years ago, Guan Yutian's ancestor reached an agreement with the ancestor of Sword Casting City to give Sword Casting City the forging method of the Surpassing Frost Sword, on the condition that the first Surpassing Frost Sword forged would belong to the Demon Sword Remnant Clan.
Both of them had ulterior motives.
One was to utilize Sword Casting City's forging technology, and the other wanted to obtain the forging method of the Surpassing Frost Sword.
The forging of the Surpassing Frost Sword is extremely difficult. Not only are the required materials hard to find in the world, but it also requires the most top-tier forging masters to forge. Even so, only the sword embryo can be forged. The sword qi of the Surpassing Frost Sword needs to be nurtured in the Sword Pool, otherwise, it is just a weapon with a name but no substance and cannot become the Surpassing Frost Sword.
Furthermore, it requires a Nine Dragons Stone, which is produced only once every 500 years, to awaken its spirituality.
There is also the most crucial step: to sharpen the Surpassing Frost Sword, the blood of the Demon Sword Remnant Clan is required.
This is just outrageous.
It feels like this sword was born to belong to their Demon Sword Remnant Clan lineage.
Moreover, the Surpassing Frost Sword is not only a super powerful weapon but also the key to opening the treasure of the Divine Trigram Mountain Chess City.
This point also made Fang Xuan feel the most cheated.
The so-called Chess City treasure is actually the gold and silver treasures collected by General Ying Shuntian 500 years ago when he wanted to rebel. However, over these 500 years, the imperial court has long existed in name only. The rulers of the world are the major martial world forces, somewhat similar to the worldview in Feng Yun.
Guan Yutian, as a descendant of Ying Shuntian, created the Supreme Alliance, conquered the world, and subdued the major martial world forces. Currently, no one can resist except for the Sea Shark Palace, Sword Casting City, and some rogue martial artists.
At this time, the Supreme Alliance is already equivalent to the de facto emperor. Since that's the case, what's the point of these treasures?
It's not that these treasures are useless. Even if they go through great hardships to open the Chess City, it would only be icing on the cake.
What could be in the treasure? Just some gold and silver treasures and some unusable weapons and provisions.
But 500 years have passed. Even if there were provisions, they are probably inedible by now. As for weapons and the like, there's no need to mention them. The imperial court is already in ruins, and they don't even have the energy to fight. The only usable things are the gold and silver jewels.
The purpose of the gold and silver jewels is also to equip the army, but now it's no longer needed because the Supreme Alliance is about to unify the martial world and become the martial arts emperor.
If they continue at this pace, they can directly overthrow the imperial court, which still exists in name, and establish a new dynasty in at most 10 years.
Because the most fundamental goal, "coronation as king," seems to be almost completed.
It's simply outrageous.
Fang Xuan shook his head with a speechless expression, finished the last cup of wine in his glass, and got up to return to his room.
After Fang Xuan left, in the luxurious sedan chair, Guan Yutian suddenly looked in the direction where Fang Xuan had been, a look of doubt in his eyes.
Night fell.
Fang Xuan's figure appeared at the foot of Sword Casting City. The entire Sword Casting City was built against a mountain, but this mountain was not an ordinary green mountain and clear water, but a volcano.
The entire city was dark gray, looking very oppressive, and the temperature was extremely high. Even outside the city, one could hear the clanging sound of blacksmithing.
Dressed in a gray night suit, he stepped forward, his body like a civet cat, agile as a monkey, easily crossing the city wall and entering Sword Casting City.
Fang Xuan's purpose in coming to Sword Casting City this time was to see the Divine Beast Fire Phoenix and see if he could kill it and take its blood. The essence blood of this kind of divine beast usually gives great surprises. He didn't know if this one would be useful.
