Chapter 346: Chapter 346 Sword Soul Avatar_1

Ling Xiao, now remaining in the Outer Sect and retaining the title of number one, was gaining resources far more than many of the weaker Outer Disciples.

Don’t look at the Outer Sect as just a lower echelon within the Moon Hua Sect, but given the chance, the Outer Sect too would like to fight for its dignity.

With a treasure like Ling Xiao in their ranks, weren’t they going all out to cultivate him?

If Ling Xiao could defeat any of the Inner Sect Disciples, then for those Hall Masters and Elders of the Outer Sect, it would be like venting a deep-seated grudge.

Sometimes the reasons for competition within a sect are just that simple, purely for the sake of pride and saving face.

Furthermore, completing the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony during the Moon Gathering Festival as an Outer Sect Disciple would grant an extra reward.

After much consideration, Ling Xiao felt that there was no need to rush to the Inner Sect; things were quite good as they were now, better to accumulate more strength before moving up.

That way, even if he encountered suppression from people like Hei Suo, he would have the power to resist.

To him, the Outer Sect was an opportunity, a protective umbrella, and a treasure trove.

"Right, do you have a Sword Martial Soul here?"

Ling Xiao asked indifferently.

"Yes, I do, but I’m afraid you can’t afford the price!"

The stall owner couldn’t help feeling irked seeing Ling Xiao’s calm demeanor before him.

He was an Inner Sect Disciple, and although only a bottom feeder within the Inner Sect, he considered himself much more formidable than Ling Xiao, an Outer Sect Disciple.

"Oh? How many Spirit Stones?"

Ling Xiao remained unfazed.

There was no point in getting angry at this kind of person.

"Ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, do you have them?"

The stall owner looked down on Ling Xiao with disdain, as if he were looking at a beggar.

He knew how poor the Outer Disciples were; they couldn’t possibly produce ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Of course, he couldn’t either. He was just there to watch the stall for the Elders.

Martial Souls had fixed prices, and although there could be some fluctuation, it wouldn’t exceed a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.

A complete Transparent Body Martial Soul would reasonably command a price of ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

If one was simply buying a Martial Soul, it didn’t seem that expensive; the costliness came from the implantation surgery.

That wasn’t a problem that Low-grade Spirit Stones could solve; it required Upper-grade Spirit Stones, and it would be an astronomical figure.

"Two Sword Martial Souls, here are twenty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones!"

Not too long ago, Ling Xiao had earned a decent amount of Low-grade Spirit Stones through pill refinement.

In addition to the five thousand he had obtained from the Governor’s Mansion of Wan Ben and another thirty thousand from a Storage Ring of a Sword King Sect Disciple, he now possessed a total surpassing fifty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

He also had about a hundred Middle-grade Spirit Stones and ten Upper-grade Spirit Stones, but he dared not use them frivolously at the moment, as they were far too precious.

"How can you have so many Spirit Stones!"

The stall owner almost fell over, astonished and wide-eyed.

"Is that a problem?"

Ling Xiao asked, still indifferently.

"No problem!"

The stall owner clenched his teeth, his eyes flashing with greed.

He suddenly realized that he might have underestimated the benefits of being the number one in the Outer Sect, especially since this Ling Xiao was also a prodigy in alchemy.

"If I get the chance, humph!"

He thought to himself.

After acquiring the two Sword Martial Souls, Ling Xiao suddenly leaned in close to the stall owner’s ear and whispered, "Let me give you a piece of advice, better not harbor any crooked thoughts. Just as I could kill Xu Ying and Wang Feng, I could also kill you!"

The stall owner’s face instantly turned ashen.

He remembered the deaths of Xu Ying and Wang Feng had caused the entire Moon Hua Sect to be in turmoil.

Because of that incident, Demonflame Celestial Venerate, Guanghan Celestial Venerate, and Yang Dan Lin came to blows, eventually forcing the Enforcement Hall to intervene and mediate the dispute.

In terms of cultivation level, he was only a bit stronger than Wang Feng and Xu Ying.

Although the humiliation was intense for being threatened by an Outer Sect Disciple, he was someone who knew when to advance or retreat, and he did not wish to die.

"Hehe, senior brother, thanks for your Sword Martial Spirit. Till we meet again!"

Ling Xiao suddenly smiled, returning to his cave dwelling with the two Sword Martial Spirits.

The first thing he did upon returning was to refine his Sword Soul Avatar.

The method was clearly described in the Shadow Transmutation Sword Art.

To refine a Sword Soul Avatar, three steps were required.

The first step he had already completed; he possessed two Sword Martial Spirits.

The second step was to refine a Array Refining Stone—a "Soul-attaching Array Stone."

The Soul-attaching Magic Array was a relatively basic array, which Ling Xiao naturally knew how to set up, and he also possessed Array Refining Stones.

For others, they would probably need to seek help for such a thing.

But he did not.

Although his Method of Array Refinement was not yet at a high level, on his current level, he claimed to be second, and no one dared claim to be first.

It could even be said that he had surpassed his master, Yuan Venerate, in both the refinement and setting up of basic arrays and Array Formations.

As for whether he was stronger than others, that he was not too sure about.

After all, the Mysterious World was vast, and there were many capable and extraordinary individuals that he had not met. It would be foolishly arrogant to consider himself the strongest without due consideration.

After completing the second step, the final step was next.

It required the possession of a Martial Soul Avatar.

Ling Xiao understood this requirement, because without knowing the Martial Soul Avatar, it would be impossible to refine a Sword Soul Avatar.

The two were essentially the same type of being.

The specific method was straightforward: arrange the Soul-attaching Magic Array on a "sword," then condense it into a Sword Soul Avatar.

This sword could be an ordinary sword, a Treasure, or even a higher-level Spiritual Tool.

The difference being, the better the quality of the treasured sword, the stronger the refined Sword Soul Avatar would be.

Ling Xiao currently owned thirty-six Sky Gang Flying Swords, all Fine Treasure artifacts.

He also had an Ice Dragon Sword which was a Precious Treasure Artifact.

And a Floating Snow Sword was a Fine Treasure Artifact as well.

Since the Soul-attaching Magic Array would not hinder the treasured sword from being used as a weapon, and could even endow the Treasured Sword with its own consciousness, obeying the commands of the Martial Artist and initiating its own attacks,

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and decided to apply the Soul-attaching Magic Array to the Sky Gang Flying Swords.

One could imagine how unpredictable it would be when the Flying Swords shot out, suddenly undergoing some special transformations, likely catching the enemy completely off guard.

Unknowingly, Ling Xiao had pioneered a novel innovation, imbuing the Sword Control Technique which was normally manipulated through either Soul Power or True Essence with self-awareness.

Although others had thought of and even attempted this before, they were hindered by various limitations and had not succeeded.

Ling Xiao realized what they had thought of but had not accomplished.

The process of condensing the Sword Soul Avatar was simpler than he had imagined.

This was probably because Ling Xiao possessed a Martial Soul Avatar already.

In this Mysterious World, those with Martial Soul Avatars were few, and most of them were above the Cave Heaven Realm.

Like Ling Xiao, someone who had a Martial Soul Avatar since the Martial Vein Realm and had come to understand it thoroughly from constant interaction, probably only the King of People from the past hundred thousand years could have done so.

It was a success!

The Sword Soul Clone was clearly more real and more tangible compared to the avatars condensed by the Thirteen Swords of Shadow Transformation.

After all, this was an avatar with a physical body and soul, and it could even perform some independent tasks according to Ling Xiao’s requests.
