Night shrouded the earth, and a bustling cascade of moonlight and starlight descended from the heavens, bringing faint glimmers of light to the darkness.
Within the Demon Suppression Division's compound in Cangwu County City.
In the courtyard where Lin Baichuan lived, he was practicing his saber.
His feet moved like a swimming dragon, his saber flashed like a gale, yet contained astonishing sharpness. Every stance and move held boundless killing intent, accompanied by a piercing whistle through the air. The battle saber in his hand was four feet long, its blade polished bright and its edge coldly brilliant.
Faintly, a thread of blood-red light could be seen running through the entire saber.
The saber was named Blood Shadow. It was precisely the High-grade Yellow Tier spirit artifact Lin Baichuan had purchased for 8,000 Contribution Points during the day.
The saber art he was now cultivating was called Thirteen Blades of Gale, a High-grade Mortal Tier martial skill from the same vein as the Wind Shadow Steps he cultivated. After leaving Myriad Treasures Hall that day, Lin Baichuan had gone to the Scripture Pavilion and spent five hundred Contribution Points to exchange for it.
The reason he had chosen Thirteen Blades of Gale rather than a higher-ranked spirit martial skill was not because Lin Baichuan was reluctant to spend Contribution Points. It was simply because he did not have enough left.
After purchasing the Blood Shadow Battle Saber, he had only 3,000 Contribution Points remaining. Then, in the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Baichuan had spent over two thousand Contribution Points researching the Dragon Blood Fruit and the unknown piece of rotten wood. Yet a spirit martial skill—even the lowest Low-grade Yellow Tier spirit martial skill—required at least one thousand Contribution Points.
Thus, Lin Baichuan could only settle for the next best thing
