The senior apprentice in the weapon-refining room took out a sword.

This is a sword that is pure white. As soon as it was drawn from its sheath, a sharp aura wafted over.

This is a magical artifact with a metallic attribute!

"Snow is falling!"

The name "Snowfall" is indeed fitting for this sword.

“Junior Sister has the three spiritual roots of metal, wood, and fire, and this Snowfall is a magic weapon with the metal attribute, so it is suitable for Junior Sister to use.”

This sword is indeed better than the Purple Fire Sword; Su Qing couldn't put it down once she held it.

Su Qing was a sword cultivator in her previous life, practicing the Cloud Sword Technique. Although it wasn't considered top-tier, it allowed her to cultivate it all the way to the Nascent Soul stage, so her understanding of sword intent was naturally quite good.

A fifth-tier pure white metallic demon crystal was inlaid on the hilt of Xue Luo's sword, making the sword even more dazzling.

"How many spirit stones does this sword cost?" Su Qing asked.

"If someone else wanted this sword, it would cost at least two thousand mid-grade spirit stones, but since Junior Sister Su Qing is willing to accept it, one thousand mid-grade spirit stones will suffice." The senior brother in the weapon-refining room gave Su Qing a 50% discount.

Su Qing knew that the Snowfall Sword was excellent; it was already a bargain to sell it for two thousand mid-grade spirit stones, and asking for only one thousand was already giving her too much face.

"Senior brother, I'll take this Snowfall Sword." Su Qing said, taking out a thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

However, the senior brother in the weapon-refining room declined, saying, "Junior sister, it's fine if you don't give me these spirit stones."

Um?

Su Qing looked over in surprise. The senior brother in the weapon-refining room said somewhat awkwardly, "Junior sister, I know you are good at drawing talismans and have also studied alchemy. I wonder if you could convert these thousand spirit stones into pills and talismans?"

That's fantastic!

Without saying a word, Su Qing took out a large stack of talismans, two third-grade talismans, and a large jar of spirit-restoring pills.

The senior disciple in the weapon-refining room, holding these items, was so excited that his eyes turned red.

He had been searching for these good items on the forum but hadn't been able to get them, and now he'd acquired so many all at once.

“Junior Sister, let’s exchange jade tokens. If you have any materials, just send them to me; I’ll buy them at a high price. If I have any excellent magic weapons, I’ll definitely notify you immediately.” The senior brother in the weapon-refining room slapped his forehead and said, “Ji Luoxuan is the eldest disciple of Crimson Shadow Peak, currently at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage! If Junior Sister needs anything, just contact me directly with your jade token, and I, Ji Luoxuan, will definitely do my best to help!”

Su Qing glanced at Ji Luoxuan; he was actually from Crimson Shadow Peak.

Speaking of which, the cultivator Yin Huatu who had a entanglement with Su Ruoshan was from Crimson Shadow Peak.

Yin Huatu is only at the Foundation Establishment stage now, so Ji Luoxuan might be Yin Huatu's senior brother.

This matter had nothing to do with her. After exchanging jade token signals with Ji Luoxuan, Su Qing left the weapon-refining room.

Su Qing went to the trading market and bought a lot of raw materials, causing another uproar in the market.

Then, the news spread that Junior Sister Su Qing was going back to draw talismans and refine pills, and the forum was in an uproar again.

However, this time they waited for several days but Su Qing did not come to the trading market to sell talismans and pills.

Su Qing stayed in her cave, burying herself in drawing talismans and refining pills.

She bought a lot of storage space—bracelets, necklaces, rings, purses—all of them were storage spaces.

This place is now filled with talismans and elixirs.

Not to mention low-level talismans like Gale Talisman, Teleportation Talisman, Water Ball Talisman, Fire Ball Talisman, Flying Talisman, Thunder Talisman, and Stinky Talisman, she also drew quite a few third-tier talismans.

As for the pills, Su Qing went to her master, Shui Qingchen, who gave her some formulas for second-grade pills and a few formulas for third-grade pills.

After several failures, Su Qing finally managed to refine the Guiling Pill and the Chiling Pill, both third-grade pills.

After a full ten days of seclusion, Su Qing finally emerged.

She had no choice but to stay in seclusion; she received a message from her senior brother Fu Yong at the mission office that the secret realm exploration team needed to assemble.

The Xuanling Sect attached great importance to this exploration of the secret realm and arranged two Nascent Soul protectors. Su Qing had met one of them before; he was actually Protector Jiang from Biyun Peak. The other was Protector Bai from Piaomiao Peak.

This White Protector of Misty Peak possesses a single Ice Spirit Root, indicating superior talent and handsome appearance. He always has a smile on his lips and enjoys extremely high prestige within the Profound Spirit Sect.

"This is just a secret realm for Qi Refining stage disciples to train in; we could easily arrange for a few Core Formation stage cultivators to participate." Protector Bai glanced at the Qi Refining stage cultivators, his face showing displeasure.

This time, only disciples in the Qi Refining stage can enter the secret realm. Disciples with good aptitude are either too young, and the sect does not allow them to enter the secret realm for protection, or they have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

This actually benefits the ordinary Qi Refining stage disciples.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Protector Bai naturally looked down on these disciples with ordinary aptitudes.

Protector Jiang shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Bai, this is a secret realm mission. It might even be a spatial rift left behind by an ancient powerful being. There could be all sorts of opportunities and dangers inside. If the secret realm's barrier breaks and the Core Formation stage cultivators can't maintain the passage, these disciples will probably perish here. It's only right that we go through the trouble of escorting them."

Protector Bai snorted and remained silent.

This mission involved an expedition team of twenty disciples from both the inner and outer sects of the Xuanling Sect.

The ten inner disciples are all dual-spiritual-root disciples who have been apprenticed to elders at the Core Formation stage, while the ten outer disciples are all the most outstanding disciples on the outer disciple list.

Su Qing mingled among a group of Qi Refining stage disciples who were picking up bargains, and she spotted Senior Brother Fan, who was very generous in the trading market.

"See that? That's Senior Brother Mu Zihan, who's ranked number one among the outer disciples!"

"Senior Sister Ling Shuang! You are my idol."

"Senior Brother Gu Siting is the most handsome!"

...

Many of Su Qing's disciples stirred, their faces filled with excitement, their eyes even reddening with emotion.

Su Qing squinted to look; it was the first time she had seen the people on these lists.

Mu Zihan not only cultivates his mental techniques but also his physical body. Contrary to Su Qing's expectations of him being all muscle, he actually looks rather thin. However, Su Qing could sense the explosive power beneath his loose disciple robes.

His position as the top outer disciple is truly well-deserved.

Ling Shuang possesses the three spiritual roots of fire, wood, and metal, yet she wields an ice sword. An ice sword—isn't that a sword used by cultivators with ice-attribute spiritual roots? Upon closer inspection today, it turns out that Ling Shuang's ice sword is actually of the metal element. This sword is far superior to Su Qing's, as it incorporates several types of demonic crystals.

The Frost Sword must have incorporated ice-attribute demonic crystals, which is why it looks so chilling.

Ling Shuang had a stern face. Although she was beautiful, her beauty, like the sword in her hand, was an unapproachable kind of beauty.

Standing next to Ling Shuang is Gu Siting.

Gu Siting was dressed in a white disciple's robe. He was very handsome, with a smile on his lips and affection in his eyes, which made many female disciples in the Qi Refining stage scream.

As for Gu Siting's cultivation level, Su Qing couldn't see through it.
