Chapter 148 - 148: 148: Swallowing the Spirit Stone

Baffled, Jiang Xiaobai tried to inquire from the system; he even began to question if he was dealing with a counterfeit good.

If that was the case, doesn’t it mean that the Seven Treasures Pagoda that he had just gotten was also a fake?

“Because the rules of this world are incomplete, Daoism is broken, the Sky Spirit magic weapon is suppressed by this world.”

What Jiang Xiaobai didn’t expect was that the system did respond, and its answer shook him to his core.

The rules aren’t complete, Daoism is fractured?

“So is this thing essentially trash?” Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded.

“The host can use spirit stones to boost the power of the magic weapon and relieve its worldly suppression.”

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback; there was actually this function, and he promptly took out a top-quality spirit stone and handed it directly to the Sky Spirit magic sword.

The spirit stone began to lose its spiritual energy at a frightening rate, and in the blink of an eye, this magic sword had completely absorbed it.

After discovering that this tactic was indeed effective, Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth and took out one hundred thousand top-quality spirit stones, piling them up like a mountain.

The Sky Spirit magic weapon instantly started to absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stones. The speed was incredibly fast, and within less than a minute, all one hundred thousand spirit stones had been completely absorbed.

A slight breeze blew past, and the remnants of the spirit stones turned to ashes and dispersed into the air.

Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded for a moment and then began to inspect the sword closely, noticing some changes in the sword.

Overall it appeared different from its previous coldness, Jiang Xiaobai could detect a trace of spiritual rhythm within it, which was very faint, as if it could disappear any second, but it was indeed present.

Swinging it lightly in the air, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes widened in shock as he discovered that the power of the Sky Spirit magic weapon had significantly increased.

This was a deeply intuitive feeling that couldn’t be articulated clearly, but Jiang Xiaobai was acutely aware that if he were to use this sword against the silver-armored man now, if the latter could withstand one strike, Jiang Xiaobai would directly kneel down and admit defeat.

It was at this moment that he realized the problem; it wasn’t that there was an issue with the Sky Spirit magic weapon, but that the world’s laws were incomplete and Daoism was broken, which is why the usually powerful Sky Spirit magic weapon couldn’t unleash much power.

Fortunately, after the system’s explanation, Jiang Xiaobai knew he could lift the suppression on the Sky Spirit magic weapon by feeding it spirit stones. “I knew there must be a problem, so this is the reason.”

Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself, only to be immediately faced with another question.

Why was this world like this?

After pondering for a long time, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t figure it out and chose simply not to think about it. His priority right now was to lift the suppression on the Sky Spirit magic weapon as soon as possible.

There were still tens of millions of top-quality spirit stones left in his storage space. Jiang Xiaobai kept five million for daily expenses and took out all the rest, directly throwing the magic sword into the pile.

The spiritual energy was instantly devoured madly by the Sky Spirit magic weapon; the spiritual energy within the spirit stones visibly depleted at a visible pace, and the originally radiant spirit stones began to dim.

This consumption lasted only a short time; in under ten minutes, all the spirit stones were exhausted.

Jiang Xiaobai watched in shock.

“Is it gone? That’s it?”

He jumped up in surprise, his expression clearly spelling out the words ‘shocked’ and ‘anguished’.

Those were tens of millions of top-quality spirit stones, devoured clean within a few minutes by this thing, it was simply a prodigal son!

Despite the pain, Jiang Xiaobai knew he had to do this. The enemies he encountered in the future would be even more terrifying. How could he fight with this Sky Spirit magic weapon that was suppressed by the world?

Upon retrieving the magic sword, Jiang Xiaobai immediately felt something off.

The spiritual energy on the sword had become considerably stronger, reaching a frightening level. As Jiang Xiaobai held the sword in his hand and waved it lightly in the air, he seemed to see a ripple of waves circle around the blade.

It felt like it had cut through space. At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai truly understood what a Sky Spirit magic weapon was about!

Although he knew he needed many spirit stones to fully relieve the suppression on this Sky Spirit magic weapon, the present capability exhibited by this sword had already satisfied Jiang Xiaobai.

If he encountered the silver-armored man again, Jiang Xiaobai was confident he could make him call for mercy.

The joy of power boost was quickly overshadowed by the disappointment of an empty pocket. Jiang Xiaobai recalled when he was a wealthy man, owning tens of millions of top-quality spirit stones, but within just ten minutes, he was on the verge of becoming penniless.

For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai felt the pressing need to search for spirit stone mines!

He was already in need of spirit stones to boost his powers, and now, he has two big consumers to feed. Who could bear this?

Once again admiring the Sky Spirit magic sword with affection, Jiang Xiaobai put it into his storage space and then took out the Seven Treasures Pagoda.

This was a famed treasure of King Li, known as a powerful suppressor of all the world’s demons.

Its power was unquestionable, but like the system had explained, because of the problems of this world, the Sky Spirit treasure was suppressed, and the more powerful it was, the more it was suppressed.

Compared to the partially relieved magic sword, despite the Pagoda still exuding terrifying vibes, the spiritual energy on it was noticeably insufficient, making it look lifeless and dull.

The reason Jiang Xiaobai didn’t feed the Pagoda spirit stones was two-fold.

Firstly, he didn’t know how many spirit stones were needed to restore the Pagoda to a certain extent. If all his spirit stones were used with no effect, wouldn’t that be a waste?

Second, and most crucially, although the Pagoda might be powerful, he couldn’t use it at the moment.

Until he reached the Transcendence stage, he was unable to activate it. Even if the Pagoda regained some spiritual energy, what could he do? Use it as a brick to hit people?

That would be a total waste of its power!

After putting away the Seven Treasures Pagoda, Jiang Xiaobai’s resolve to find a spirit stone mine and obtain more spirit stones became solidified.

Jiang Xiaobai then recalled the spirit stone mine he and Qin Zheng had previously visited. He knew there were other potential spirit stone mines in the vicinity.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaobai had received a lot of storage rings from Feng Liangfei, which also contained many spirit stones. However, he hadn’t had the time to check them and couldn’t be bothered now.

Speaking of Feng Liangfei, Jiang Xiaobai found it perplexing.

He had received a system reward of fifty years of cultivation, plus an extra twenty percent, totaling sixty years of cultivation after destroying the City Lord Mansion.

However, he still hadn’t broken through, always feeling like he was one step short of success.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai sighed. He had no choice but to search for spirit stones and enhance his powers by being a glutton.

Afterwards, he gathered his belongings and headed straight towards the vicinity of the spirit stone mine that Feng Liangfei had auctioned off..
