That's wonderful.

Lin Xiaofei looked delighted.

"I have seen this spirit sword. Although it has been used by others, its material is of excellent quality."

Based on my years of experience, this magical artifact must have been crafted by a high-level second-grade weapon refiner. Judging from the appearance of the sword, it is clearly made of millennium-old black meteorite iron, which is extremely hard.

Using this spirit sword as one's magic weapon would be an absolute must-have.

Ding Dahua took a large treasure box made of spiritual materials from the wooden shelf inside the house and then opened it.

Inside the wooden box lay a five-foot-long, jet-black sword, its blade gleaming with silver light and exuding a faint aura of sharpness.

Lin Xiaofei's eyes lit up, and he felt a little excited. He quickly reached out and gently stroked the sword.

Instantly, he felt a chilling aura wash over him, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"As expected of a top-tier spirit sword!"

Then, he gripped the sword hilt and slowly raised the spirit sword with great effort. The veins on his entire arm bulged, as if he were holding up a boulder weighing three or four thousand pounds.

Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei quickly released his spiritual power to envelop the spirit sword, only then did he feel that the spirit sword was as light as a goose feather.

"That's right, almost all top-tier spiritual artifacts are treasures."

However, judging from its appearance, this spirit sword is entirely made of millennium-old black meteorite iron, which has a certain restraining effect on magic. Moreover, it is more powerful than ordinary top-level spiritual weapons.

If you were to fight someone, this spirit sword would make it much easier to break their spells by 20-30%, and might even weaken the power of their spells.

For Steward Lin, who was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, wielding a top-tier spiritual sword was actually quite strenuous.

Fortunately, this spirit sword has the effect of weakening the power of enemy spells. I guess that in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, no one should be your match.

Now that the sword is in your hands, and this place is so quiet, Steward Lin can rest assured and refine it here.

Seeing Lin Xiaofei's obvious fondness for the spirit sword, Ding Dahua said with a smile.

"good!"

Lin Xiaofei readily agreed, immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, held the spirit sword in both hands, and continuously released his spiritual power to invade the spirit weapon and refine it.

Buzz!

An hour later, the spirit sword trembled slightly, emitting a faint vibration.

In an instant, the spirit sword floated up. Lin Xiaofei was overjoyed, knowing that he had completely refined the spirit sword.

With a thought, he lightly tapped his finger, and the spirit sword soared into the air. With a whoosh, a gust of wind blew past, lifting Lin Xiaofei's long hair.

Instantly, he felt an astonishing aura emanating from the spirit sword.

This was just a slight manipulation of the spirit sword, without any force, yet it generated such an astonishing wind force, which delighted him. If he were to unleash his full power, it would probably be more than just a gust of wind.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the spirit sword returned to his grasp. Lin Xiaofei smiled, quite satisfied, and put it away. Then, he walked over to Ding Dahua, who was sitting not far away, and said, "

"Steward Ding, I'll take this magical artifact. How many spirit stones do you want?"

"This spirit sword is a top-tier spirit weapon, and its price is more than twice that of ordinary spirit weapons."

However, the last time I obtained a hundred-year-old blood ginseng from you, my son was able to gather enough materials to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, and thus he was able to refine several Foundation Establishment Pills at the Alchemy Pavilion, which actually made me a fortune.

Considering your previous help to me, I'll reduce the price of this magical artifact by 20%, which is 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.

"Deducting the blood ginseng root worth 40,000 low-grade spirit stones, you still owe me 60,000 low-grade spirit stones."

Ding Dahua said directly.

"good!"

Lin Xiaofei nodded. He had thought the other party would ask for an exorbitant price, but to his surprise, they lowered the price by 20%, so he quickly agreed.

After handing over the spirit stones, he left the Internal Affairs Pavilion and went to the Spirit Plant Valley to receive a mission from Elder Ye.

"Elder Ye, I choose this mission."

In front of Ye Lingyun, Lin Xiaofei took out the mission book of Spirit Plant Valley, pointed to one of the missions, and said.

"This task is quite far from our loose cultivator alliance, and it's not very conducive to your progress in spiritual plant cultivation."

How about we switch to a mission inside the Spirit Plant Valley?

Ye Lingyun glanced at the mission details and was taken aback.

In his opinion, Lin Xiaofei is a very promising spirit plant master, and he estimates that in about ten years, he may become a third-grade spirit plant master.

He felt that Lin Xiaofei should stay in the Spirit Plant Valley to cultivate second-grade spirit plants for Bai Xuefeng, thereby improving his skills in spirit plant cultivation.

However, Lin Xiaofei chose a mission to go to the outside world. Although this mission was somewhat related to the art of spirit plants, it would not allow him to quickly increase his experience in the art of spirit plants.

"Elder Ye, as you know, I am now a Foundation Establishment cultivator and I am still very young. I feel too depressed staying in White Snow Peak all the time, so I want to take this mission to go out and relax."

Moreover, this mission will only last for one year.

Lin Xiaofei said directly.

“We cultivators endure hardship in our practice of immortal arts. Since you wish to go out and relax, then so be it.”

Seeing Lin Xiaofei's serious expression, Ye Lingyun nodded in agreement, then hesitated for a moment before speaking again:

However, the place you chose is called Snow Tree Wilderness North Slope.

"With your status as a high-level second-grade spirit plant master, going there would be a waste of your talents. I think you should at least stay in one of the cities managed by the Loose Cultivator Alliance."

As he spoke, Ye Lingyun began to persuade him:

That snow-covered, desolate northern slope is at least a thousand miles away from here, and it's close to a vast, icy forest.

From what I understand, near the Great Ice and Snow Forest, demonic beasts occasionally rush into the northern slope of the Snow Tree Wasteland, making it easy to face the danger of these beasts. This is quite difficult for a cultivator like you who has just entered the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

Furthermore, there are some frictions and hatreds between the various cultivation forces.

If you go to the northern slope of Snow Tree Wasteland, and encounter people from other factions along the way, no one will protect you.

After much thought, I think you should choose a different task.

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Ye."

Now, I am a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In the meantime, I have made some preparations, improved my strength, and exchanged for several treasures for self-defense.

Even if I encounter someone stronger than me, I can simply run away.

Lin Xiaofei said with a smile.

This time, he chose this mission for two reasons: first, to lure out Zhou Feilong, the peak master of Little Fire Peak; and second, because a large number of disciples on the northern slope of Snow Tree Wasteland were cultivating spiritual fields and planting a large number of low-level spiritual herbs, and he wanted to collect a large number of low-level spiritual herbs from them.

At the same time, the place is far from the Loose Cultivator Alliance, so if Zhou Feilong is lured out and fights with them, it will not easily attract anyone's attention.

In that case, even if he uses a spell at the perfect level, no one will suspect him.

After all, he had only just entered the Foundation Establishment stage. If he could immediately unleash a spell at the Perfected stage, it would easily arouse suspicion from some high-level cultivators.
