Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Little Black Sword Spirit’s Fish Hook

"Xiao Hei, how much would this Dao Crystal fetch if I sold it?" Xu Feng asked curiously, holding a coin.

"Due to its low purity, all commerce merchants in Taichu Immortal Domain set the unified price at 10,000 Immortal Crystals," replied Xiao Hei’s voice.

"Holy crap!!!"

The core disciples of Taichu Sacred Land numbered in the millions, that was just the surface data Xu Feng saw.

"That’s a lot of Immortal Crystals! To give them away just like that."

Xu Feng clutched his chest, feeling pained for that Saint Heir.

At that moment, Sword Spirit Xiao Tao appeared beside Xu Feng.

"So, this is Master’s Sacred Land; it’s much nicer than the Secret Realm I was in."

Sword Spirit Xiao Tao spun around above Xu Feng’s head.

"Have you digested those Phoenix Feathers yet?" Xu Feng asked.

Since swallowing the Phoenix Feathers, Sword Spirit Xiao Tao would occasionally fall into deep slumber.

"They’ve all been digested, and now Xiao Tao has the combat power of the Divinity Transformation Realm."

"However, to unleash full combat power, Master needs to equip me with more Spirit Swords."

Sword Spirit Xiao Tao proudly stood in front of Xu Feng, emanating waves of Sword Intent. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Spirit Swords?" Xu Feng puzzled.

"Sword setting formations is Xiao Tao’s strongest skill."

"In Xiao Tao’s inherited memories, there are 12 sets of Small Killing Sword Formation."

"And there are 12 sets of Great Killing Sword Formation, but those Xiao Tao can comprehend only after crossing into Immortal Sect."

Hearing Sword Spirit Xiao Tao’s explanation, Xu Feng finally understood.

"So this is how Sword Spirits differentiate ’main kill’ and ’main intelligence.’"

"What’s the maximum number of Spirit Swords you can control?"

"The more, the better, Xiao Tao can currently control eighty-eight Spirit Swords, the higher the realm, the more swords can be controlled," replied Sword Spirit Xiao Tao.

At this point, Xu Feng had already maneuvered the Spirit Boat away from Taichu Sacred Land.

Originally thinking about returning to Xu Family Courtyard, after hearing Sword Spirit Xiao Tao’s words, he decided to head straight to the commerce.

During the flight, a dark shadow quietly appeared beside Xiao Tao.

Neither Xu Feng nor Sword Spirit Xiao Tao noticed it.

Sniffing around Xiao Tao like a dog’s nose.

"Merit Ancestor Phoenix Feathers! And not just one!!"

"Xiao Tao, big brother has been so good to you, don’t you ever think of big brother!"

A whining and somewhat sad voice rose, and Xu Feng’s first reaction was to immediately retract Xiao Tao into the Beast Taming Space and put her into the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World.

"Kid Xu, I’d like to propose a deal—get me a few of those Merit Ancestor Phoenix Feathers, and we’ll be good brothers forever."

The dark, shiny Sword Spirit appeared in front of Xu Feng.

"I’ve given all those feathers to little sister Xiao Tao."

"If becoming brothers is just about giving feathers, I’d rather not."

Xu Feng sped up the Spirit Boat, trying to shake off the Black Sword Spirit.

"The bond of brotherhood based on emotions isn’t real, only beneficial brotherhood lasts."

"Think about it, give me a few, and I can sort out all matters in this Immortal Realm for you," landed the Black Sword Spirit on Xu Feng’s Spirit Boat.

"Haha, I’m the Alchemy Genius of Taichu Sacred Lands, what do I need your help for?" Xu Feng scoffed.

Just then, the world changed, and the scene before Xu Feng’s eyes altered.

In a battlefield turned to nihility, a Human Clan powerhouse held a black Spirit Sword.

In the distance, a being with an aura like an Abyss Demon King, stood in the Void.

"This Immortal Emperor of the Human Clan, is nothing much after all," a demonic voice boomed.

Above the Void, a black Giant Sword plummeted like a waterfall rushing into the abyss, directly striking at the Alien Race powerhouse.

From a God’s Eye View not far away, Xu Feng felt like this slash involved cause and effect, soul, body, and everything else he could see.

Everything turned to nihility with this one sword.

The Illusion vanished, but the shock lingered in Xu Feng’s senses.

"Did you see that black Giant Sword!" boasted the Black Sword Spirit.

"Is that you?"

Xu Feng couldn’t bring himself to admit that the Giant Sword in the Illusion, akin to a sword from the heavens, was from the current Black Sword Spirit.

"That was my father. Just give me three Merit Phoenix Ancestor Feathers, and at the critical moment, I’ll call my father for you to back you up!"

The Black Sword Spirit circled around Xu Feng, with a coquettish pleading tone.

"I still think I’d better pass, I’m just an alchemist, what dangers could come my way?"

"Besides, even if your father is from Tianxuan Sacred Land, how would my Sacred Land think of me if he stepped in on my behalf?"

"I’ve given all the feathers to Xiao Tao, let’s drop this matter."

The Spirit Boat slowly landed outside Taichu Immortal City, and Xu Feng headed directly to the biggest Magic Treasure forging commerce managed by the largest Artifact Refining Sect of Human Clan, Myriad Weapons Commerce.

Originally Xu Feng was going to let Ling Qian do the forging, but then considering the time needed for eighty-eight Dao Artifact Spirit Swords, he abandoned the idea.

"Why are you so stubborn? I, as such a magnificent Sword Spirit, have been saying nice things to you for so long, but you just won’t agree."

"You set the conditions, how can I get a few feathers?"

The Black Sword Spirit lingered invisibly beside Xu Feng, chattering away.

Hearing this, Xu Feng stopped in his tracks and began to scrutinize the Black Sword Spirit.

"Is there anywhere in the Immortal Realm, other than the Tianxuan Sacred Land, where a Sword Spirit can be born?" A thought suddenly surfaced in Xu Feng’s mind.

"The Myriad Weapon Sect has a Sword Spirit Secret Realm, but it’s quite small, and it might take thousands to tens of thousands of years to give birth to a single Sword Spirit."

"There are also some places where great masters of the Sword Dao have passed away, which may give rise to the chance of a Sword Spirit being born."

"You’re not thinking of having me find those wild Sword Spirits for you, are you?"

"Those wild ones are all at the Spirit Level, and the highest among them are only at the Immortal Level, bringing them to you will be of no use," the Black Sword Spirit said.

On the main street of the Immortal City, Xu Feng flagged down a beast-driven carriage.

"To the Myriad Weapons Commerce~" Xu Feng announced his destination after boarding the beast carriage.

"Sir, please hold tight." The beast carriage suddenly sped up, racing towards the Myriad Weapons Commerce.

"I didn’t mean that. Since you can come out, how about you sneak out one of your divine-level sisters for me, and I’ll introduce her to a good master?" Xu Feng grinned.

"No way! Absolutely not!!"

"The old man would kill me if he finds out, crushing me bit by bit!" The Black Sword Spirit frantically shook its head.

"Look, I almost lost my life over those few feathers. Now to get a few more, it’s not unreasonable for me to ask you for one of your divine-level Sword Spirit sisters," Xu Feng clapped his hands as he spoke.

"Change the request, each of my divine-level sisters is accounted for, the old man would take it out on me if one is missing," the Black Sword Spirit continued shaking its head fiercely.

"Then that’s your problem. I’ve risked my life, and you’re not even willing to spare a sister for me, where is your sincerity?" Xu Feng smiled and shook his head.

The Sword Spirit named Little Peach appeared in the beast carriage, emanating an aura of mysterious merit.

Feeling this aura, the Black Sword Spirit, as if bewitched, swiftly circled around Little Peach.

"Little Black brother, thank you for introducing me to the master," Little Peach said in a crisp voice.

"The merit Phoenix Ancestor feathers will make your potential no weaker than the divine level; in the future, with other fortunes, you’ll be the most promising among my group of sisters."

Little Black’s tone was like that of an older brother, and would have been perfect if not for the frantic inhalation of the mysterious merit aura emanating from Little Peach.

"Alright, I can’t give you what you want, just stick to the previous request, if agreed, have Little Dragon let me know."

The Black Sword Spirit then disappeared through the exterior of the beast carriage.

"The hook is cast, now to see when the fish will bite," Xu Feng thought smugly.

"Master, just now Little Black has already agreed in his heart, he just can’t openly respond to you," Little Peach’s voice echoed in Xu Feng’s mind.

"I understand," Xu Feng responded.

"Sir, we’ve arrived at Myriad Weapons Commerce," the voice of the beast carriage driver outside called out.

Xu Feng nodded and canceled the soundproofing spell before stepping out of the carriage.

Ten Spirit Stones traced an arc in mid-air and landed entirely in the driver’s hand.

"Thank you for the generous tip, sir!"

Such a beast carriage ride across Immortal City would usually need five or six Spirit Stones.

At the Myriad Weapons Commerce, a manager emitting the aura of an Earth Immortal warmly greeted Xu Feng.

"Welcome to our commerce, Pioneer of Alchemy from the Taichu Sacred Land. Please come in, your presence is an honor to our commerce."

A set of polite phrases welcomed him, with the only difference being the manager who greeted Xu Feng had a genuinely warm smile.

Inside the luxurious private room, the manager courteously brewed tea for Xu Feng himself.

Ten women of stunning beauty attended around him.

"I’m looking to purchase a large batch of Dao Artifact Spirit Swords for constructing a sword formation; do you have any recommendations?" Xu Feng inquired immediately.

"Swords for the sword formation required by the honored guest, please wait a moment."

It only took the time of one cup of tea, and an attendant brought in ten Dao Artifact Spirit Swords into the private room.

"Heavenly Yang Spirit Sword, Moon Yin Spirit Sword, principally for Yin Yang-type sword formations."

"Gold Wood Water Fire Earth Spirit Swords, ideal secondary swords in any sword formation."

"Sound Killing Spirit Sword, Shadowless Spirit Sword, best suited for concealed sword formations."

"And finally, the Five Elements Spirit Swords, compatible with various sword formations."

"These are all standard Dao Artifact Spirit Swords from our Myriad Weapons Commerce, available in large quantities; maintenance, and replacements for blade wear are exceptionally convenient."

"These are divided into high, middle, and low grades, with different prices for different qualities," the experienced manager of Myriad Weapons Commerce explained.

"Master, eight High Grade Five Elements Spirit Swords would be best, for the remaining Gold Wood Water Fire Earth Spirit Swords, sixteen of each type in Middle Grade will suffice," the voice of Sword Spirit Little Peach echoed in Xu Feng’s mind.

"Okay," Xu Feng then reported the quantities.

"Dear guest, I will give you the lowest price. For the High Grade Five Elements Spirit Swords, each is priced at 3500 Immortal Crystals."

"All types of Five Elements Spirit Swords will be uniformly priced at 1800 Immortal Crystals for you."

"How does that sound?"

"That works for me."

"172,000 Immortal Crystals in total, plus I’ll throw in four beauties, all unmarried."

The ten women who had just been waiting on Xu Feng stood in line for him to select.

"Just bring the Spirit Swords; I’ll pass on the beauties," Xu Feng glanced at the ten lined-up women.

They were certainly beautiful, but he had no place to put them if he brought them back home and was too lazy to take care of them from outside.

Myriad Weapons Commerce respectfully received the million Immortal Jade card.

Just then, Xu Feng suddenly thought of something.

"For male guests you arrange these beautiful women, but for female guests, how do you tailor your arrangements?" Xu Feng asked curiously.

"We assess based on the guest’s preferences, offering gifts or performances accordingly."
