Chapter 155: The real treasure appears
The conversation between Zemin Yan and the little tiger Wu lasted only a few minutes, no one noticed anything, just a child playing with his contracted animal.
There were hundreds of martial cultivators who had cute pets, mostly female cultivators. It was just a little strange that a child had so many pets, but since they all seemed to be ordinary animals, no one really paid attention to Zemin Yan and his little friends.
Hong Yu who was finally in the last chest, which everyone was looking forward to. The chests were presented more and more, that is, the treasures were only increasing in value every moment.
The young and handsome cultivator opened the last chest there, a black sword appeared. The sword was made of Adamantium, a very difficult ore to forge weapons, but if a blacksmith manages to forge a weapon with this ore he could not doubt the power of the weapon.
Ores can be classified from 1 to 10, note 1 being considered common ore. Compared to cultivation realms, level 1 would be Qi Realms Cultivation. Adamantium was at level three, that is, in Aurore Core Realms. Of course, this is only the main miner, taking into account the preparation and strength of the blacksmith it would not be wrong to say that this sword would be useful even for Alma Nascente Realms Cultivations.
The sword floated beside the red sheath, there was a red tassel attached to the hilt of the sword. That red tassel emitted a bloody aura, which made the novices, who had never killed a chicken, shiver, while the veteran disciples and some novices who came from more powerful families felt their blood boiling with excitement for the battle.
True sword cultivators had a cold, balanced exterior like a sword. However, just as swords are weapons of slaughter, cultivators of the sword path were thirsty for challenges, battles, and wars.
The hilt of the sword was white as milky jade, which clashed with the color of the sharp blade and the red tassel that had a terrifying aura of slaughter.
Before Hong Yu even started to explain about this item, the soul of Zemin Yan's ring stirred and said:
"This is the first reincarnation of the Samsara Sword! I didn't expect the young master to be lucky enough to find the first reincarnation so easily! It must be the gods who look at the young master! " Hu Zhi spoke very excited and impressed by the luck of Zemin Yan.
"What do you mean by that?" Zemin Yan asked with a bad feeling in his heart.
"The Samsara sword is a legendary sword that represents the cycle of life and death, that is, reincarnation. The young master only has the base of the Samsara Sword to make this sword evolve and become legendary not only in name but in strength as well, it is necessary to collect the 12 reincarnations of the Samsara sword "said Hu Zi trying to explain in a simple way the meaning of Samsara and what it meant to strengthen the legendary sword.
"The 12 Reincarnations of the Samsara Sword? When I took the Samsara Sword, I was only able to access limited sword techniques, does this have to do with the 12 sword reincarnations? " asked Zemin Yan, trying to clear the doubt that permeated his heart for a few months.
Zemin Yan first took the legendary Purple Storm Bamboo sword, but the soul of the sword embryo did not accept Zemin Yan as a master. After he tried with the Samsara Sword and it was like meeting an old friend or brother, Zemin Yan felt very comfortable.
Unfortunately, Zemin Yan is too weak and cannot access all Samsara sword techniques, at least when he tried to access there were only a large vacuum and a fierce seal that prevented Zemin Yan's conscience from further searching.
"Yes, this is very likely. You only managed to access low-level techniques until Realms Foundation Cultivation, didn't you? " Hu Zi asked Zemin Yan, trying to probe how strong the Samsara Sword was.
"Something like. For better and stronger techniques, do I need to find the 12 reincarnations of the Samsara Sword? There is no other way?" asked Zemin Yan, already with that bad feeling in his heart.
"Young Master, finding this reincarnation of the Samsara sword is fortunate. Usually, the reincarnations of swords already have an owner which makes everything even more complicated. This sword has no owner and with this reincarnation, you will be able to cultivate the path of the sword to the Soul Rising Realms level peacefully. You can't help but get that sword! " said Hu Zi resolutely. To the soul of the ring, this sword seemed to have fallen like a pie from heaven and they were the hungry beggars. In other words, it was like winning the lottery in the modern world.
Zemin Yan could not miss this opportunity!
"The heavens must be against me! I just wanted to go undetected and be an average person, but now I have to win the strongest item in the competition ?! I just want to be a pig! I just want a peaceful life ... "Zemin Yan started to regret his bad luck.
Little Sying who shares his mind with his young master, wanted to vomit blood and was outraged, he didn't understand humans. When such a good item appears, isn't it normal to get excited and want to win the item?
However, young master Yan was regretting how he was going to win this item!
Surely if the competitors knew about Zemin Yan's thoughts, they would vomit blood, Sying himself wanted to hit this young master of his who seemed to have a hole where common sense should be.
Elder Han, on the other hand, had a peculiar smile on his face and his thick sword-shaped eyebrows rose showing some interest.
"What are you going to choose, little Yan? Will you let the opportunity pass or will you show some talent? " he thought in a fun way.
Before Zemin Yan was a rare find thanks to Sacred Energy, however, thanks to Hong Yu many newbies showed that they had powers equivalent to Zemin Yan. Which will make Zemin Yan's value diminish under the eyes of the powerful within the Celestial Sword Sect, as soon as they receive information about it.
For Zemin Yan, that would be great, because he wouldn't attract attention. But for greedy people within the sect and even outside the sect, it meant an opportunity to catch a young orphan and extract his spiritual roots for studies.
Elder Han Yie wanted Zemin Yan to show his talent in the sword and participate in the small tournament against guest martial cultivators, so Elder Han Yie could protect Zemin Yan openly and without revealing the young boy's link to the Song Family.
Zemin Yan is too young and weak to stand up to the Song Family and the greedy people who target the Songs. In addition, there were enemies in the dark and enemies of other sects who can take the chance to kill Zemin Yan.
"The reality is very bitter. You have to expose yourself and be a threat to others, but also be a seed that the sect values in order to grow with relative security "thought Elder Han with a bitter smile.
He had one of the twelve reincarnations of the Samsara Sword and he knew two more great masters who also had one of the reincarnations of that sword, but who not only used it were the guardians of the swords. However, for now, only one was enough for Zemin Yan to be able to grow relatively safely, at least until he became strong enough to protect himself.
Becoming strong is not an easy and safe path, there is no way to hide, Zemin Yan has to take the lead and become the tree that winds and storms will try to cut down.
Strangely all of this is just so that he can survive for a few more years.
The life of being a pig seemed even further to little Yan today.
