The Eternal Suprem - Chapter 133

Chapter 133: The Sword of Tigertooth

Yunxiao took out a storage bag from his ring and threw it to Jia Rong as he said seriously, “From now on, all Primordial Stones are at your disposal. If these are not enough, come and get more from me at any time.” Then, he turned and took out another storage bag, handing it to Wu Zishi. “Exchange everything inside for Primordial Stones while the trade fair is still being held in the city.”

Although Wu Zishi did not understand what they were saying, he could tell they were preparing to do something big, and it would cost a lot of Primordial Stones. He took the bag and looked inside. What he saw startled him, and he almost fell off the building.

He did not know the value of all kinds of rare treasures in it, but the mountains of gold coins themselves pricked his eyes.

‘Heavens! Although I am in charge of the finances of the richest city in Tianshui, I have never seen so many gold coins! What did this King of Wucheng do before? Where did he get so much money? I can’t believe he trusts me so much and has entrusted me with such a large fortune! I must deliver results, so as to live up to his appreciation and trust in me!’

Jia Rong, on the other hand, was overwhelmed by Yunxiao’s knowledge, and he screamed inside his head, ‘Heavens! He even knows the arrays that can kill Martial Emperors! I must learn them! I must set up these simplified versions of the arrays perfectly, so as to get Young Master Yun’s approval and let him teach me more advanced things in the future!’

Both men’s thoughts were almost identical, and they were high in spirits, eager to start working at once.

When Yunxiao had finished, he asked them to carry out the tasks immediately while he himself returned to the City Lord Mansion. Meng Wu had been waiting at the door. When she saw him, she hurried forward and said, “Young Master Yun, the people of Tianyuan Trading Company delivered Pure Sacred Crystal and Dark Sulfur Mist just now, and Myriad Treasures Store also sent you the catalog of auction items.”

Yunxiao took everything from her and gave them a quick glance, then put them into his ring. All of a sudden, he smiled and said, “I need a steward in this City Lord Mansion to take care of daily affairs. Meng Wu, I want you to take up this position.”

“Ah? Steward? Me?” Meng Wu was taken aback, and then she said, “No, no, no…How can I do it? This is such an important…”

“Well, if I say you can, you can!” Yunxiao’s eyes sparkled as he said firmly. “However, taking care of daily affairs is secondary. The most important thing for you is to cultivate yourself. Leave all the trifles to the servants, and only handle the major issues yourself.

Before Meng Wu could refuse, Yunxiao laughed and went into his room. Meanwhile, she stood there, thinking, ‘Why is he putting me in charge of something so important? And…as his steward, doesn’t that mean I need to take care of his daily life? Could it be…could it be that he wants me to be his wife? How is that possible? Only stunning beauties with distinguished status like Teacher Luo and Princess Ruxue deserve to be his wife. I’m just a nobody! But, it may be possible…After all, he had touched me all over that day. Oh, no! What if he wants me to warm his bed?’

Her face blushed in an instant. After thinking for a long time, she sighed plaintively and said, “It seems that I can only obey him. What choice do I have?”

“Obey him? Obey who? Sis?” At some point, Meng Bai appeared in front of her and asked curiously, “Why is your face so warm again? I’ve noticed that you often have a fever recently.”

“Hey!” Furious from embarrassment, Meng Wu threw a palm at her brother. “How can you hide aside and eavesdrop on me? What did you hear? Tell me quickly!”

“I didn’t hide!” Looking aggrieved, Meng Bai quickly threw his head back and dodged the slap. “I’ve been standing in front of you for several minutes, but you didn’t seem to see me. You must have a very bad fever.”

“Shut your mouth!”

Meng Wu felt very embarrassed. At the thought that her brother might have heard everything, her neck turned red with shyness. She stamped her foot and started chasing him.

As the two siblings were equal in strength, they soon fought together while laughing and running up and down the mansion.

After returning to his bedroom, Yunxiao took out the catalog sent to him by Myriad Treasures Store and carefully flipped through it. His eyes gleamed with surprise, and he soon remembered all the auction items in his mind. With a wry smile on his face, he muttered to himself, “So many good things, but I have too little money unfortunately.”

He went through the catalog several times before closing it, his eyes flashing as he seemed to have a plan. After that, he sat cross-legged down. With a flip of a hand, a pile of materials appeared on the ground in front of him, including the Bloodstriped Tiger and the mysterious spirit fruit.

“Hah, a Four Quadrants Fruit! If it weren’t for my One Qi of Destiny, I would not be able to enjoy this fruit.”

Without hesitation, he put the fruit into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. If anyone saw him do that, their jaws would have dropped in shock and they would have scolded him for waste.

Spirit fruits were the best alchemy materials because they contained the purest Primordial Qi. However, ordinary people could not absorb the Qi by eating them directly, and could only turn them into pills before taking them. Demon beasts, on the other hand, could directly absorb this kind of spirit fruits.

After swallowing the fruit, Yunxiao immediately began to exercise One Qi of Destiny. Streams of powerful energy poured out of his stomach and were absorbed by his bones and flesh. He felt an indescribable comfort in his meridians and bones, as if they were being washed by spring water.

At the same time, fog-like white aura emerged outside his body, obscuring his appearance. He looked like he was in an immortal realm, and the Qi around him was so rich that it seemed to be already corporeal, moving rhythmically with his breath, as if it were alive.

Bam!

A force slammed and broke through his bottleneck, allowing him to step into the realm of five-stars in an instant. However, Yunxiao did not show any joy, as if all of this were supposed to happen. He continued to meditate, absorbing the rest of the spirit fruit’s Primordial Qi.

“Phew! I’m so full!”

After some time, Yunxiao finally woke up from his meditation. There was a foul smell on him, which came from the toxins excreted from his body. He felt extremely relaxed and pleasant, with streams of powerful Primordial Qi flowing back and forth in him. “If only I could eat a spirit fruit every day…” He had a look of discontentment on his face. “It’s a pity that this Four Quadrants Fruit had lost too much Primordial Qi after it was picked. Otherwise, I would have made more progress.”

He flexed his body and performed a few postures in the Tyrant Body Tempering Technique before he began to study the Bloodstriped Tiger. Apart from being covered with blood-red stripes and having two tusks like elephants, it was no different from ordinary tigers.

“Oh, what a pity!” Yunxiao gave a sudden cry and slapped himself on the thigh. “It was a Bloodstriped Tiger about to evolve into a tiger king! It would have evolved if it had eaten the fruit. No wonder it fought so desperately with the python!”

He began to quickly dismember the tiger’s body, bottle its blood, skin it, and remove its bones. Soon, a whole Bloodstriped Tiger was turned into bits and pieces by him.

“With these two tiger teeth and tiger blood, my sword can finally take shape!”

He took out the sword embryo from his ring, then pointed a finger between his eyebrows. Immediately, a shadow of the Phoenix Flame appeared in the air in front of him, and the temperature in the room began to rise sharply.

“Go!”

The sword made a few circuits in the air before flying into the shadow flame, and a powerful wave of spiritual energy immediately spread out in all directions like a tidal wave.

“Hehe! This Phoenix Flame is indeed a divine object of heaven and earth. Just a trace of its shadow is already powerful enough to subdue a third-tier sword embryo instantly!” There was a triumphant smile on Yunxiao’s face as he threw a bottle of tiger blood he had just collected into the flames. “With this blood as the catalyst, it will be easier to refine the teeth!”

As soon as the tiger blood was thrown into the flame, the air was stained with the color of blood and hung with a faint aura of violence. But, in the next moment, the shadow flame, which was still and unmoving, gave a little dance, Next, all of the violent aura vanished while the color of blood began to condense over the flame. Soon afterward, a drop of evil-looking blood was formed and fell on the sword embryo.

Zi!

The sword embryo emanated an extremely painful spiritual wave, as if it had feelings. Meanwhile, Yunxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and threw the two tiger teeth over as he began to refine them with the sword. There seemed to be an unyielding will in the teeth, but under the mighty power of the divine flame, all resistance was futile. In the blink of an eye, the will surrendered, and the teeth began to fuse with the sword embryo.

Yunxiao’s face began to grow serious. After all, he was refining something that was beyond the third-tier, which was still very difficult for him at present. His hands flashed in incantation gestures; one spirit seal after another flew into the flame and imprinted into the sword embryo. With each new seal, the sword’s Spirit Qi grew stronger. After a few hours, the Spirit Qi finally built up to a terrifying level.

“It’s time to take shape! Refine the sword embryo, divine flame!”

With his soft cry, the shadow flame seemed to become slightly corporeal, and his face instantly turned as pale as a sheet while the Primordial Qi in his body was completely drained. It scared the wits out of him. Hastily, he pushed the flame back into the Divine Realm Tablet and threw a handful of medicinal pills into his mouth.

Rumble!

Meanwhile, dark clouds began to gather in the sky over the City Lord Mansion, with lightning flashing within.

“Fu*k! Does it attract thunder tribulation every time I refine something? This Phoenix Divine Flame is just too heaven-defying!” Yunxiao was taken aback. He had thought the Bodhi pill was an accident, but that seemed to not be the case.

Bam!

Just as he was startled, a tiny thunderbolt fell from the sky, smashing through the roof and striking on the sword embryo. Then, the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate. Yunxiao did not know whether to laugh or cry. Could this even be considered a thunder tribulation? Nevertheless, after being struck by the thunderbolt, the aura of the sword became much stronger!

Clang!

The sword made a shrill sound and whirled in the air several times before plunging into the wall. Blood-red lines appeared on the blade, and there seemed to be tigers leaping faintly out of them.

“Phew!” Yunxiao sat on the ground, exhausted. Looking at the sword stuck in the wall, he chuckled and said, “Since you have the will of a tiger, I’ll call you Tigertooth!”
