I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

However, for Gu Yuan, these nine Spirit Swords are not very useful. His Sword Pill, after integrating with the Yin Yang Sword Pill, has already touched the threshold of a Tier Four Spiritual Treasure, surpassing the nine swords.

Still, ”waste” can also be put to use.

With a thought, Gu Yuan activated the Treasure Refining Celestial Cutting Gourd, which flew out from his body and suspended in front of him.

He gently uncorked the gourd, and immediately a powerful suction emerged from within, like a cloud of gray mist, suddenly enveloping the nine Spirit Swords and the entire Sword Box.

Soon the entire Sword Box turned into a cloud of mist, absorbed into the Treasure Refining Celestial Cutting Gourd.

Gu Yuan sealed the gourd again, shaking it lightly, and from within came the sound of flowing molten metal.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan smiled.

Inside the gourd were two strands of Heaven-Slaying Essence Qi, both refined from middle-grade treasures. But when it comes to power, the Heaven-Slaying Essence Qi refined from today’s Sword Box and nine swords is undoubtedly the most formidable.

Nine treasures of the same source, especially the most lethal sword artifacts, are absolutely extraordinary.

”What I want is a lethal strike!”

After a brief consideration, Gu Yuan activated the gourd, slowly integrating the two strands of already formed Heaven-Slaying Essence Qi within.

The Heaven-Slaying Essence Qi in the Treasure Refining Celestial Cutting Gourd originates from the same source. The essence qi refined at different times can be divided for multiple attacks or continuously integrated and fostered to form the most powerful Heaven-Slaying strike.

Previously, Gu Yuan had not fostered much essence qi, so he hadn’t considered integration.

But now, with the nine swords refined, there is more essence qi, rather than being mixed, it’s better to refine it all into one strike!

According to Gu Yuan’s estimation, after the integration of these two strands of essence qi, they could have a lethal strike capability against common mid-stage Golden Core cultivators. If the essence qi refined from the nine swords were also integrated, its power would far exceed imagination.

”Swish!”

Then, Gu Yuan swung his large sleeve and wrapped up all the demon artifacts offered by the Sloppy Daoist outside the hall, tossing them into the Treasure Refining Celestial Cutting Gourd together.

Swallowing so many artifacts in one go, even the gourd of its grade found it hard to bear, vibrating continuously, but as time passed, the gourd’s vibration gradually ceased, replaced by a burst of dazzling Spiritual Light. Its ancient Dao Seals kept flashing, even forming wisps of seal characters, with a more mysterious Dao Charm flowing quietly.

”It can actually advance further...”

Seeing this, Gu Yuan felt slight joy in his heart. In this case, the grade of the gourd and the Sword Pill were almost the same.

Suspending the gourd in the air, letting it refine itself, then Gu Yuan turned to examine the Ape Demon’s Storage Bag.

Unfortunately, perhaps the nine Spirit Swords had drained the Ape Demon’s wealth. In the Storage Bag, there were only six Spiritual Objects that were previously attempted to be traded with Gu Yuan for the Secret Realm Map, no other Spiritual Grain.

There were only a dozen Jade Scrolls and the ”Blood Net” that had previously bound Gu Yuan’s Sword Pill in magical combat.

However, this Blood Net is not high grade, just a low-grade treasure. The reason it could trap Gu Yuan’s Sword Pill was because of its ”blood-colored threads.”

These threads seemed to have absorbed impurity, giving them temporary ability to taint the Sword Pill. After one use, the blood threads vanished, greatly diminishing their power, barely possessing the strength of a treasure.

Gu Yuan didn’t even bother to look at it.

Placing this item in the Heaven-Slaying Gourd would merely taint the essence qi within, rendering it useless.

”Swish!”

With a thought, the dozen Jade Scrolls all floated in the air, circling around him.

Divine Thought surged, and Gu Yuan examined the Jade Scrolls one by one.

After a long while, his eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

”Soul Refining and Demon Heart Technique!”

”Tribulation-Crossing Puppet!”
