Sect Market, Blade-Intent Remnant Weapon

That evening, Su Yun successfully returned to the Mystic Blade Sect.

After returning the horse, he went back to the small courtyard where he lived.

At that moment, a voice sounded in his mind.

"Extreme Shadow Fiend Blade has reached perfection. Having made no progress for a long time, it is restless and agitated. It urgently needs to observe an object containing Blade Intent and comprehend Blade Momentum!"

In the courtyard, Su Yun stopped in his tracks, his expression shifting.

Naturally, he knew what Blade Momentum was.

Blade Momentum, Sword Momentum, Palm Momentum, and so on were collectively known as Martial Dao Momentum.

Once one comprehended Martial Dao Momentum, the power of one's attacks would increase dramatically.

Moreover, when Martial Dao Momentum was unleashed, it would exert a unique spiritual pressure upon one's enemy.

Warriors who had not mastered Martial Dao Momentum would have their strength greatly diminished beneath that spiritual pressure.

It could be said that Martial Dao Momentum was something every Outer Sect disciple dreamed of.

Yet to comprehend Martial Dao Momentum, one needed not only a certain degree of insight, but also inspiration and the right opportunity.

Among all the Mystic Blade Sect's Outer Sect disciples, there were likely only a dozen or so who had comprehended Martial Dao Momentum.

Even though Su Yun had cultivated the Extreme Shadow Fiend Blade to perfection, he did not have the slightest clue how to comprehend Blade Momentum.

"An item containing Blade Intent?"

Coming back to his senses, Su Yun frowned.

Among Outer Sect disciples, one or two people managed to comprehend Blade Momentum every year.

But Blade Intent was far too rare.

Even among the Mystic Blade Sect's Inner Sect disciples, or even its personal disciples, very few could comprehend Blade Intent.

Beyond Martial Dao Momentum lay Martial Dao Intent!

With Su Yun's current status as merely an Outer Sect disciple, he simply had no access to things of that level.

"Hmm... I could ask that Senior Brother Song for advice!"

All at once, he thought of the Senior Brother Song from before.

That Senior Brother Song was actually an Inner Sect disciple at the Mystic Profound Second Stage.

However, his aptitude was limited. He had cultivated in the Outer Sect for four years before finally breaking through into the Mystic Profound Realm and successfully entering the Inner Sect.

Furthermore, he was a commoner disciple without any background, and the resources in his hands were limited.

Thus, even after cultivating in the Inner Sect for three years, he had only broken through to the Mystic Profound Second Stage.

The reason he had led Su Yun and the other newly admitted disciples around to familiarize them with the sect's buildings had merely been to earn some Contribution Points.

Within the Mystic Blade Sect, certain rare items could only be exchanged for Contribution Points. No amount of silver was useful.

The small task of guiding newly admitted disciples around the sect's buildings paid only one thousand Contribution Points.

Many Inner Sect disciples simply did not think much of such a paltry reward.

Yet he was exceptionally enthusiastic about it and would take the task on his own initiative almost every time.

After all, even a mosquito was still meat!

"That Senior Brother Song is an Inner Sect disciple, after all. His status is fairly high, so he should know where to find items containing Blade Intent."

Su Yun pondered inwardly.

He then entered the room and found a jade bottle in his bundle.

Carrying that jade bottle, he headed for Senior Brother Song's residence.

Previously, while Senior Brother Song had been chatting with Su Yun and the other newly admitted disciples, he had mentioned where he lived.

At the time, he had also said with a smile that if Su Yun and the others needed anything, they could seek him out for help.

After all, in his eyes, these Outer Sect disciples all had decent talent and might have a chance of becoming Inner Sect disciples.

Forging a good connection was better than making an enemy.

Before long, Su Yun arrived at Senior Brother Song's residence.

An Inner Sect disciple's residence was much better than an Outer Sect disciple's.

Not only was it larger, but more than a dozen servants attended to it.

"Outer Sect disciple Su Yun requests an audience with Senior Brother Song."

At that moment, Su Yun stated his purpose and handed over his Disciple Token to verify his identity.

A gatekeeping servant took the Disciple Token from his hand, glanced at it, and said,

"Wait here."

He then went inside to report it.

"Oh? Su Yun wants to see me?"

A moment later, Song Que, having received the message, looked at the Disciple Token in his hand with surprise.

He remembered that Junior Brother Su Yun should have been among the batch of Outer Sect disciples admitted only recently.

At the time, Su Yun's aptitude had ranked third among that group of disciples, so Song Que naturally remembered him somewhat.

After pondering for several seconds, he made his decision.

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

The servant hurriedly nodded.

Not long after, Su Yun entered and met Song Que.

"Hm? Body Refining Fifth Stage!?"

"How is that possible!"

The instant he saw Su Yun, Song Que froze.

He remembered that Junior Brother Su Yun had only just entered the sect.

Counting it all up, he seemed to have cultivated for only a month?

Body Refining Fifth Stage in one month!

Even if he ate Body Tempering Pills like meals, that should have been impossible!

What kind of terrifying cultivation speed was this?

"Could it be that Junior Brother Su Yun possesses some special physique?"

Song Que was inwardly alarmed and doubtful.

But on the surface, he smiled and asked,

"Junior Brother Su Yun, what brings you here today?"

After taking a seat, Su Yun briefly explained his purpose.

"You want an item containing Blade Intent?"

Upon learning of Su Yun's request, Song Que frowned.

"This is somewhat difficult."

Su Yun's heart stirred.

Somewhat difficult?

Did that not mean Song Que truly had a way?

Su Yun said nothing and instead took out a jade bottle.

"Jade Marrow Pills!"

Song Que looked surprised.

Jade Marrow Pills were medicinal pills used by Mystic Profound Realm warriors to temper the meridians within their bodies and raise their cultivation. They were quite valuable.

This bottle of Jade Marrow Pills was, in fact, spoils Su Yun had looted from Black Cloud Stronghold.

He guessed that the Black Cloud Stronghold's chief had robbed some merchant caravan to obtain them.

Now, however, they had fallen into his hands.

Song Que did not stand on ceremony and accepted the Jade Marrow Pills directly. Then he said with a smile,

"There is naturally a way."

"The thing you seek may be found in the Sect Market!"

"Sect Market? What kind of place is that?"

Since cultivating at the Mystic Blade Sect, Su Yun had never heard of any Sect Market.

After accepting the Treasure, Song Que patiently explained.

"The Sect Market is, in truth, a place where Mystic Blade Sect disciples trade with one another."

"Every so often, Mystic Blade Sect disciples choose to descend the mountain for training, complete missions, explore treasure lands, and so forth."

"During that time, they may also find some Treasures."

"Although many disciples hand their Treasures over to the sect in exchange for Contribution Points after returning, there are also some things they choose to keep and trade privately."

"Over time, this market for disciples to trade goods with one another came into being."

"The Sect Market is further divided into the Inner Sect Market and the Outer Sect Market."

At this point, Song Que narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"But not just anyone can enter this market."

"Without a recommender, you must possess Body Refining Seventh Stage cultivation to qualify to enter the Outer Sect Market."

"Now that I am recommending you, you can enter without difficulty."

"And the prices there are usually quite high, so you must be mentally prepared. If your luck is good, there may naturally be items containing Blade Intent."

Having heard this, Su Yun gained a preliminary understanding of the Sect Market.

He then spoke his thanks.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Song!"

"It is nothing."

Song Que waved his hand, then took out a token and handed it to Su Yun.

"Junior Brother Su Yun, this is my Recommendation Token."

"Take this token to Building No. 3 in the Outer Sect area. Present the token, and you may enter the Outer Sect Market."

"I am already in the Mystic Profound Realm, so according to the rules, I can no longer enter the Outer Sect Market."

"Otherwise, with me there to look after you, I could offer you some advice as well."

Su Yun accepted the token and said with a smile,

"Senior Brother Song has already helped me greatly. How could I ask for more?"

The two chatted for a while before Su Yun rose to take his leave.

Some time later, Su Yun arrived in the Outer Sect disciple area and found Building No. 3.

Building No. 3 was where the third-ranked Outer Sect disciple lived.

Each of the top ten Outer Sect disciples received excellent treatment.

Naturally, their residences were far better than Su Yun's.

"Stop right there!"

At that moment, a disciple guarding the building saw Su Yun approach and spoke in a deep voice.

Su Yun directly took out the token.

"So you were recommended by Senior Brother Song Que."

The disciple nodded, then opened the door and let him through.

Su Yun walked straight inside.

The building was spacious, clean, and tidy.

Voices discussing and shouting rose and fell without cease.

The moment he entered, he saw rows of wooden tables covered in all manner of items.

"If I want to find something containing Blade Intent, I should focus on blades."

"Some blades may have been used by powerful warriors for a long time, and perhaps they have absorbed a trace of Blade Intent."

Su Yun thought as he walked.

A short while later, he reached the area specifically devoted to selling all kinds of blades.

Every sort of blade could be found here.

Newly forged ones, ancient ones, decayed ones, broken ones...

It could be said that everything was available.

Seeing Su Yun approach, an Outer Sect disciple watching over a stall brightened.

He hurriedly picked up a long blade that gleamed faintly with golden light and said excitedly,

"Junior Brother, this is a Human Grade High Tier long blade. It was once the weapon of an Inner Sect senior brother. It cuts through iron like mud and is absolutely top-quality!"

"Would you like to try it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he lightly swung it.

The biting blade light sliced through the air, carrying a faint golden hue and unmatched sharpness.

Hearing this, Su Yun became interested.

He reached out and accepted the long blade.

Unfortunately, after sensing it for a while, no voice sounded in his mind.

Clearly, this long blade did not contain Blade Intent.

Setting down the long blade, Su Yun continued trying other blades.

But none of those blades contained Blade Intent.

Seeing that Su Yun only touched them without buying, the stall owner grew somewhat baffled.

"Junior Brother, are you buying or not?"

Until, at a certain moment,

Su Yun gripped a damaged blade.

A voice sounded in his mind.

"Extreme Shadow Fiend Blade has detected Blade Intent contained within the damaged blade. It is greatly excited and is carefully comprehending it!"
