Chapter 118 Promising the Spirit
After returning to his own courtyard, Zhou Yunshen had an additional task: to nurture the Fire Scale Sword.
The Fire Kirin Sword is indeed a spiritual treasure; he has already checked this with the system, and it is beyond doubt.
However, he was somewhat unsure whether the Fire Kirin Sword could be nurtured into a natal spiritual treasure.
A spirit treasure that is regularly bound to a master is different from a spirit treasure that is part of one's destiny.
A cultivator can possess multiple magical treasures, but can only possess one natal treasure, which cannot be changed once chosen.
It's not that it can't be changed.
Rather, the natal treasure is deeply connected to the cultivator's physical body, soul, and even the ethereal fortune, almost inseparable from it. In this case, if the natal treasure is taken away or forcibly altered, it will cause great harm to the cultivator, much greater than the harm of failing to break through to a higher realm. It may lead to the cultivator's decline, or even an unstable foundation and a drop in realm.
Fortunately, when a natal treasure is deeply bound to a cultivator, it can grow stronger along with the cultivator, which is quite good.
Zhou Yunshen sat on the mahogany bed, gently stroking the Fire Scale Sword in his hand, thinking to himself: "If this sword could become my natal spiritual treasure, it wouldn't be bad at all; at least it matches my attributes."
He possesses a fire-elemental spiritual root and cultivates fire-elemental techniques. If nothing unexpected happens, he should continue to soar on the path of fire throughout his life.
This Fire Kirin Sword is a fire-elemental spiritual treasure, which matches his attributes. If it could become his natal spiritual treasure, it would undoubtedly become a great help to him.
On the other hand, for many players who possess a natal spirit treasure, the natal spirit treasure is actually not very compatible with the cultivation method they practice.
After all, the natal spiritual treasure and heavenly-rank cultivation technique given by the system are random.
Randomness involves a great deal of uncertainty.
When players initially selected the newbie gift pack, many of them chose both a Heavenly Rank cultivation technique and a natal spirit treasure. However, it's possible that they would randomly receive items with mismatched or even conflicting attributes.
In this situation, the power that the natal spiritual treasure can unleash will be greatly reduced.
Zhou Yunshen was quite fond of the Fire Kirin Sword before him, which was entirely fiery red and had an excellent appearance.
After all, he was both a cultivator and a martial artist.
When he entered the Hell instance before, he was empty-handed and could only use magic to kill enemies.
If he can successfully nurture the Fire Kirin Sword into his natal spiritual treasure, then he will have another way to attack and can use the sword to kill enemies.
No man can resist the thrill of wielding swords and killing enemies.
Of course, this type of attack is more for entertainment purposes.
After all, his martial arts cultivation level was far too low compared to his cultivator cultivation level.
Zhou Yun took a deep breath, gathered his scattered thoughts, and then released his divine sense, attempting to communicate with the spirit of the Fire Kirin Sword using the power of his divine sense.
Perhaps Zhou Yunshen's cultivation level was high enough, reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, just one step away from the Golden Core realm.
Or perhaps: He possesses a fire-attribute spiritual root and cultivates fire-based techniques, making him naturally compatible with the Fire Scale Sword. It is said that it is difficult to establish a connection with the weapon spirit, yet he managed to hook up with, no, communicate with it without much effort.
The process went incredibly smoothly.
Just when Zhou Yunshen thought he could easily make the Fire Kirin Sword recognize him as its master, he encountered a setback.
The spirit of the Fire Kirin Sword was like an ice queen, extremely cold and indifferent. It completely ignored the kindness he showed, let alone acknowledge him as its master.
Unfortunately, this was a spirit artifact of the Spirit Treasure level, and with his current Foundation Establishment realm strength, he couldn't force it.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Zhou Yunshen's somewhat frustrated consciousness returned to the real world.
He wanted to see if there were any options in the game interface to communicate with the spirit of the artifact or nurture the spiritual treasure, but he was disappointed.
This type of option is not present in his game interface at all.
It seems that I can't rely on the system for this; I can only rely on myself.
No, behind him is the mountain of government officials.
When he encounters difficulties, he can also seek help from the government.
The government has a huge database about the Xuan Yuan world, and it is said that they also employ a large number of data analysts.
With this in mind, Zhou Yunshen sent a message directly to the forum administrator, explaining in detail the difficulties he was currently facing.
After sending the message, Zhou Yunshen continued to cultivate the "Fire Refining the Nerve" technique with his character while browsing the forum and the various group chats he had joined.
Just then, a message popped up on his phone screen from the Super Brand Club.
Zhou Yun Shen clicked on it and found that it was the administrator Shi Tou tagging the group members: Du Yu Sheng led the team to kill Leopard Tail, everyone applauded and celebrated!
The previously quiet group chat suddenly became lively after this sentence appeared.
Another Yin Shuai has finally been killed. Du Yusheng, you're amazing.
"I'm so envious! I've failed so many times already. Now these Yin Generals seem to know we're hunting them, and they're becoming increasingly vigilant, making the hunt much more difficult."
Yes, some of the Yin generals are only active near the BOSS's palace now, and there's nothing we can do about it; we can only worry helplessly.
"Haha, I was just lucky," Du Yusheng said modestly.
"Congratulations!" Zhou Yunshen also said.
"Haha, thank you, Brother Zhu." Du Yusheng said gratefully.
At that moment, a message popped up.
Zhou Yunshen opened the message and saw that it was a message from the administrator.
The administrator sent him a text message.
The text wasn't long, only a few dozen words, but Zhou Yun Shen read it carefully several times, muttering to himself, "Isn't this just empty promises? The best way to subdue a spirit is to make empty promises to it? Will this trick really work?"
Never mind, let's give it a try.
Zhou Yunshen was a man of action. He immediately paused his character's cultivation, then clicked the soul-transfer icon, and his consciousness re-entered the Xuan Yuan world.
In the Xuan Yuan Realm, Zhou Yunshen sat on a mahogany bed, holding the Fire Kirin Sword in his hand. He extended his divine sense and quickly established a connection with the spirit of the Fire Kirin Sword.
The spirit of the Fire Kirin Sword remained as cold as ever, a stark contrast to the faint flames rising from the blade.
Zhou Yunshen composed himself and began to paint a rosy picture: "Do you want to become stronger, to become an innate spiritual treasure, to become a celestial artifact?"
The aloof spirit of the Fire Kirin Sword rarely responded to Zhou Yun Shen: "You're just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could you possibly have this ability?"
Zhou Yunshen: Um—do you know that I possess an Earth-grade Fire Spiritual Root? Do you know what an Earth-grade Spiritual Root means? Even the Immortal Venerable who created the world only had a Spiritual Root one grade higher than mine. With my Spiritual Root's aptitude, my future cultivation will definitely be smooth sailing. I'm guaranteed to become an immortal god at the very least. If you follow me, you'll also rise to prominence alongside me, becoming a legendary immortal artifact. Isn't that a natural progression?
