Above all spirits

Chapter 94 The Deadly Weapon

Gu Yun shook his head and shrugged, jokingly.

"Coward, such a coward!"

But there was not a trace of fear in his eyes.

Ji Xiao smiled knowingly, pointed at Gu Yun, then sheathed his sword and turned to dispel the formation on the field.

"Is Uncle Ji's sword a magical treasure?"

Ji Xiao nodded with his back to Gu Yun and said casually.

"Yes, it resonates with my cultivation method and takes my name from it. I call it 'Zixiao'. Although it is only a mid-grade spiritual treasure, it has been with me for many years and I have gotten used to it. Its strength in my hands is no less than that of a high-grade spiritual treasure."

"Spiritual treasures are merely an enhancement to your combat abilities; their effectiveness is still limited, and you probably don't fully understand this since you've just descended to the mortal realm."

"Generally, low-grade spiritual treasures can increase the amplification by 10% to 50%, mid-grade spiritual treasures by 30% to 70%, and high-grade spiritual treasures by 50% to 90%."

"As for top-grade spiritual treasures, the Ji family has one, but I have never used it, so I am not entirely sure. However, it will definitely provide a greater boost than a high-grade spiritual treasure."

Gu Yun seemed to be deep in thought, and his mind stirred.

A blood-red spear appeared in his hand.

An aura of menace permeated the air!

A chilling cold instantly spread outwards from this center, like a mist.

"By the way, Uncle Ji, what grade is this spear?"

Ji Xiao had sensed something was amiss long ago, and had already approached before Gu Yun spoke, carefully examining the long spear.

His brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes trembled slightly.

"Where did you get this gun? Its aura is so mixed, some of the strands even make my heart tremble. It may have once killed a Xiantian."

"As for its grade, it is covered by countless bloodstains and is no longer discernible. I am not a professional weapon blacksmith, but someone who can kill a Xiantian must be extraordinary."

"It's definitely a deadly weapon, but whether it's a primordial spiritual treasure or not is unclear."

Seeing the doubt on Gu Yun's face, Ji Xiao explained.

"Oh, the so-called 'murderous weapon' is one that has been stained with too much blood and resentment in the past. Perhaps it was used in battles, or perhaps it was forged through rituals. Its base can be ordinary iron or a spiritual treasure."

"This kind of ferocious weapon will accumulate evil energy through continuous killing and eventually advance to a higher level."

"Moreover, there is no upper limit, but it is quite difficult to advance a weapon of mass destruction. As far as I know, to reach the same level as a high-grade spiritual treasure, one would have to kill at least tens of thousands of Saint Body experts."

"I wonder what quality this gun is?"

"As for innate spiritual treasures, most of them originated from you; very few were forged later."

After learning about it, Gu Yun flipped his hand and put the spear into his ring, then chuckled.

"A good friend of mine who likes to court death gave it to me."

Ji Xiao understood and expressed slight envy.

"Those two really are good buddies."

Gu Yun immediately adopted a proud demeanor.

"That must!"

Lin Tianyu: Okay, okay, my good brother, you've knocked my head off. Is this how you play?

……

"Brother, you're here?"

When Ji Ning saw a figure in black appear silently at the door, she reflexively called out "Gu Yun".

Strangely enough, during the time I spent with my older brother, my vigilance dropped dramatically.

After all, following the eldest brother means only one thing.

The eldest brother hasn't said anything, so why are you, the younger brother, in such a hurry? The eldest brother hasn't even reacted, so why are you, the younger brother, panicking?

Just be a ruthless machine that randomly deducts 6 points.

This is absolutely unacceptable; what if my brother has to leave?

In my current state, I'd be taken down in no time.

"Ah."

Gu Yun nodded, glanced inside the room, and said softly.

"Is Qing'er asleep?"

Ji Ning responded softly, afraid of waking Bai Qing'er.

"Where is Hongxiu? Is she cultivating?"

Looking at Hongxiu sitting cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed.

Gu Yun casually confirmed.

Before Ji Ning could reply!

Gu Yun sensed something was amiss.

A tiny golden arc of electricity flashed past deep within the red light in his eyes.

All traces of Hongxiu's soul energy were gone, but a few strands of soul power remained.

These leads connect upwards to the void.

And the other side of the void must surely be the other shore.

Although it appears to sway in the wind, looking frail and weak.

However, Gu Yun understood that the resilience of the soul power threads derived from this mental cultivation method should not be a problem.

As long as there is no human interference.

Considering this, Gu Yun frowned slightly, and then asked for confirmation.

"Is this a journey to the other side to cultivate one's soul?"

He had never tried going to the other side in this way before. The previous two times, he had gone to the other side by assimilating his soul, which involved transforming his entire being, including the items he carried, into a soul.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to mass-produce mid-grade soul crystals.

Thinking about it this way, his assimilation ability is somewhat like a bug.

"But why the rush? She's only recently started cultivating, and she's a woman."

"Your body is already quite weak, and you're blindly pursuing cultivation? Isn't that just fooling around? What if it causes your spirit and body to become incompatible and you can't recover?"

Why didn't you stop him?

"I stopped it! Brother! I swear to God!"

Faced with Gu Yun's series of questions, Ji Ning was on the verge of tears, her face filled with sorrow.

Before Gu Yun could reply, he immediately began to explain.

"The main problem is that Hongxiu took the test too seriously. She said she didn't want to cause you too much trouble."

"Because of the successful start of the Heavenly Ladder, she thought that if she could win Dean Han's favor with her own strength and be accepted as his disciple, she might be able to solve the hidden dangers of the Nine Revolutions Reverse Death Heart Sutra that she mentioned last time."

"It will be much easier for you in some ways, after all, you probably have your own things to do and won't stay here for long."

"Moreover, she said she felt that after this ladder experience, her physical and mental health had improved, and there was no problem."

Gu Yun glanced at Hongxiu again and sighed.

"That's just her personality. Oh well, let her be."

"Please take better care of her when I'm not around. I can't ask others for help, and even if I did, they'd probably just go through the motions. But can you do that?"

Ji Ning solemnly made the promise; he never joked about important matters.

"Don't worry, brother. Maybe at first I was just admired by others and just wanted to show off in front of my friends later."

"But over the past few days, I've come to regard you as my true elder brother. Although the Ji family only sees you as a demon envoy and a business partner, in my eyes you are my elder brother!"

"Besides, I get along well with Miss Hongxiu. I would have helped her even if you hadn't asked!"

This serious expression only lasted a few minutes. Soon after, Ji Ning's expression changed to doubt, and then to some excitement, as he spoke.

"Hey, big brother, I see your clothes are all torn. Did you get into a fight with my dad?"

Gu Yun corrected him calmly.

"It's a friendly exchange."

Ji Ning's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer to Gu Yun with a lewd expression, asking eagerly.

"Big brother, who won? Who won?"

Gu Yun pushed Ji Ning away, thought for a moment, and said.

"Let's call it a draw."

Little did anyone know that Ji Ning had a clear mind on this point, fully considering Gu Yun's strength and personality, and would definitely automatically downgrade his level.

If the answer is "losing," then it's a draw.

If you answer "draw," then you win.

Ji Ning's lips almost curved up to her eyebrows.

"Hahaha, you arrogant old man, you've finally met your match! You're always nagging me, but you can't even do anything right yourself, hahaha!"
