Without a doubt, it would be excellent to temper this Purple Lightning Sword as his Life-Bound Flying Sword, since it is currently the best Law Artifact Chen Changming Law Artifact.
but.
After Chen Changming confirmed with his Divine Sense that the Purple Lightning Sword was a top-tier Law Artifact, he became increasingly doubtful.
Why would the Cloth-Clad Elder give such a valuable sword to a stranger?
It should be noted that only Foundation Establishment cultivators who are doing well deserve to possess top-tier Law Artifact.
When Chen Changming received this sword, he was only at the third level of Qi Refining.
Having been in the cultivation Immortal Realm for over forty years, Chen Changming had witnessed the wickedness of human nature and was no longer the naive young man he once was. Now, recalling the scene of his encounter with the mysterious grandfather and grandson in the dilapidated temple on a rainy night, he absolutely refused to believe that the Cloth-Clad Elder would be so generous on their first meeting.
There must be a reason for this!
But what was the reason? What did the Cloth-Clad Elder want from him?
Chen Changming's gaze shifted from the Purple Lightning Sword to his body, then suddenly stopped at his chest. He reached out and pulled out the Spirit-Devouring Insect, his eyes widening in surprise!
Yes, it must be Spirit-Devouring Insect!
This Spirit-Devouring Insect can find Spirit Vein, and once it reaches the Golden Core Realm, it can even unleash Spirit Energy Storm within Spirit Vein. The potential of this insect is enormous. The Cloth-Clad Elder must have given him the Purple Lightning Sword because he valued the Spirit-Devouring Insect.
There might be some other trickery involved in tampering with this Purple Lightning Sword.
At this thought, a cold sweat broke out on Chen Changming's back.
Human nature is treacherous...
This Cloth-Clad Elder is definitely not doing this out of kindness; he's probably playing the long game!
Poor him, he only realized the problem now.
"But why didn't he take the Spirit-Devouring Insect back then?"
Chen Changming frowned.
The Spirit-Devouring Insect hadn't been with him for long. Did this Cloth-Clad Elder think the Spirit-Devouring Insect had recognized him as its master and that it wasn't appropriate to forcibly take it away while it was still young?
At that very moment.
The Spirit-Devouring Insect uttered a thought, "That Cloth-Clad Elder later went to Martial Spirit City and fought a great battle with the Demon Spirit Tree. I gave my last remaining precious energy to the Demon Spirit Tree, which is how we repelled him..."
"He actually went to Martial Spirit City?"
Chen Changming suddenly stood up, his face grim. He remembered that a huge noise had come from the direction of Martial Spirit City. Back then, when he was in the Savage Wilderness, he didn't know what kind of powerful figure had descended.
Now the Spirit-Devouring Insect has told him the truth.
The Cloth-Clad Elder came to his door at that time, but luckily the Demon Spirit Tree was causing trouble and saved him from disaster. Otherwise, without the Demon Spirit Tree, the Cloth-Clad Elder would definitely have taken the Spirit-Devouring Insect and killed him to silence him!
After figuring out the cause and effect, Chen Changming broke out in a cold sweat. His body trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed a kind of terror that came after surviving a disaster.
Inside the room, the air became deathly still.
That feeling of having unknowingly walked through the gates of hell is truly terrifying!
After a long silence, the cold sweat on his body subsided, Chen Changming let out a soft breath, and his whole body regained its composure.
If he is out and about, he absolutely cannot let the Spirit-Devouring Insect stay on his chest; it's too dangerous. A powerful person could detect it with a single scan of their Divine Sense.
"Living in the Immortal Realm cultivation is like walking on thin ice; you can't relax for a moment, and you can't trust anyone..."
Chen Changming muttered to himself, his cautious gaze returning to the Purple Lightning Sword.
This sword is no longer acceptable.
If I keep it with me, it will be recognized sooner or later.
"Go to the merchant's shop and sell it to buy a sword!"
After a moment, Chen Changming had an idea.
The situation in the Chu Kingdom currently very chaotic, with cultivators only entering and not leaving. Selling the Purple Lightning Sword at this time should not attract the attention of outsiders.
He calmed his mind and began practicing the Heavenly Furnace Body-Forging Art. On the second day, when the sky was just beginning to lighten and it was still pitch black outside, he quietly left the room.
He entered a deserted street corner, changed his clothes, transformed into a middle-aged man, and then silently waited for dawn.
After daylight.
The number of pedestrians on the road increased, and he strolled around leisurely for a while, waiting until it was almost time before entering Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
There are many merchants in Cangnan City, the most famous of which are the Four Seas Merchant Alliance and Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Ever since he had that incident in the border town of Donglai City, he had no good feelings towards the Sihai Four Seas Merchant Alliance Four Seas Merchant Alliance, so he chose Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion again.
A young waiter greeted him.
Chen Changming entered Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and found that there was no customer at all; he was the first one there.
Do you have any top-tier magic swords here?
Upon entering, Chen Changming looked around.
"Yes, sir, please follow me to the second floor." Before the young waiter could speak, the plump manager's eyes lit up, and he walked over with a smile.
Chen Changming nodded expressionlessly and followed the fat shopkeeper to the second floor.
On the second floor, there was a large room with a plaque that read " Treasure Tool Hall ". Upon entering the Treasure Tool Hall, Chen Changming saw rows of Law Artifact displayed in cabinets.
" Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion indeed incredibly wealthy..."
Chen Changming was also amazed, but his face remained expressionless, as if he were indifferent to everything.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any top-tier gold-type Flying Sword?"
Chen Changming looked at the row of Flying Sword and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, I happen to have a Geng-Gold Sword..." The fat shopkeeper thought he had met a big customer, and with a smile, he waved his hand, and someone took out a golden longsword from the display case and handed it to Chen Changming.
Chen Changming released his Divine Sense, scanned the area, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
This Geng-Gold Sword also contains four runes, making it a genuine top-tier Law Artifact.
"Shopkeeper, I don't have many Spirit Stone. Could I barter with other items?"
Chen Changming withdrew his Divine Sense and asked.
"Alright, then let's see what items you can offer..." The chubby shopkeeper smiled calmly.
"I also have a top-tier Thunder-Type Dharma Sword."
Chen Changming waved his hand, and a sword appeared in his hand as well. He smiled lightly and said, "It conflicts with the Cultivation Method I practice, so I want to exchange it for a metal-type sword."
The portly shopkeeper took it and examined it for a few moments. After testing it with his Divine Sense, his expression turned serious, and he deliberately remained silent.
Seeing that the portly shopkeeper was trying to take advantage of him, Chen Changming cursed the unscrupulous merchant in his heart and said bluntly, "Shopkeeper, you might as well just say what you have to say."
"In the past, it would have been possible to exchange them, but now the Chu Kingdom is in chaos due to war, and trade is not going smoothly, so prices have increased considerably..."
The portly shopkeeper picked up the Geng-Gold Sword, smiled, and said, "If you'd like to exchange for it, fellow Daoist, how about adding another mid-grade Law Artifact?"
Chen Changming frowned.
In these chaotic times, even Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has changed its nature.
But he had no choice. With Demonic Qi rampant and Demon Beast roaming freely, he had to find a way to become stronger in order to have a chance to survive in this chaotic world.
With a flick of his wrist, a Flying Sword appeared.
This sword is the very one that Lv Ziqing owns; it happens to be a mid-level Law Artifact.
"Fellow Daoist, you're a straightforward person!"
The portly shopkeeper scanned the Flying Sword with his Divine Sense, his eyes immediately lit up, and he handed the Geng-Gold Sword to Chen Changming.
At the same time, he took the two swords.
