Supreme Sword God

Chapter 391: Chapter 390: Seven Swords of the Sword Box, Flame Desert

In the Grotto Heaven, Ye Chen, who was continuing his cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes.

”Brother Chun, you finally came.” Ye Chen greeted warmly, looking at the short, red-nosed old man in front of him.

Calculating the time, it had been exactly a month since he started cultivating in the Grotto Heaven.

Shi Fengchun, while smiling, sized up Ye Chen, eagerly hoping Ye Chen would spend more time cultivating in the Grotto Heaven, aiding its restoration.

”Ye Chen, during your cultivation, did you do anything particularly special?” Shi Fengchun asked.

Ye Chen shook his head.

No!

I refuse to admit it!

Shi Fengchun didn’t press further; it didn’t matter if Ye Chen didn’t say it. He could just keep throwing him into the Grotto Heaven in the future.

”Brother Chun, take me out.” Ye Chen said.

Shi Fengchun replied, ”No rush. Anyway, Su Yun and the others haven’t returned yet. You can continue to cultivate here, and no one will mind.”

”I still want to go out. I’ve recently hit a bottleneck; I can’t just shut myself away.” Ye Chen said.

Shi Fengchun thought for a moment. That’s true; it’s not good for young people to be in seclusion for too long, so he nodded: ”Alright, I’ll send you out. If you want to come back in, just let me know.”

Ye Chen looked at Shi Fengchun in surprise and said: ”Brother Chun, can you send people into the Grotto Heaven so casually? Aren’t you afraid of the True Martial Hall checking?”

Shi Fengchun chuckled and said, ”If you don’t tell, who else will know?”

Ye Chen only wanted to say that Brother Chun is impressive!

This little old man is quite interesting.

A moment later, Shi Fengchun sent Ye Chen back to his residence.

”Brother Chun, how should I find you if I want to enter the Grotto Heaven in the future?” Ye Chen asked.

Shi Fengchun waved his hand, and a handprint merged with the wall of the courtyard, saying: ”When you need to find me, strike this mark hard, and I’ll sense it.”

”Can you leave a mark that’s more convenient for me to carry?”

If he encounters trouble outside, he can directly summon Brother Chun!

Shi Fengchun glared at Ye Chen. How could he not know Ye Chen’s idea? He snorted coldly and said, ”I can only sense it within the True Martial Hall!”

Ye Chen responded with an ”Oh,” thinking Brother Chun might not be that great after all.

From that ”Oh,” Shi Fengchun sensed disdain, clenching his teeth, but after thinking about it, Ye Chen was key to restoring the Grotto Heaven, so he had to endure it!

After Brother Chun left.

Ye Chen discovered a note stuck to his room door, left by Mu Qingqing; this little girl had gone home.

He tore down the note, went back to his room, and rested for a day.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen left the True Martial Hall and headed for Celestial Cyan City.

......

At the Mu Mansion.

”Brother Ye!” Mu Baoming strode towards Ye Chen energetically.

”I went to the True Martial Hall to find you a few days ago, but you were in seclusion. The special material you needed to fuse with your soul, I found a bit of it.”

Saying this, Mu Baoming took out a thin metal piece the size of a palm and said: ”This is Divine Nether Gold. It’s usually used by Spirit Masters to forge objects hiding Spiritual Power.”

Ye Chen took the Divine Nether Gold. Though it looked thin, its hardness was decent, and he stored it directly in his Storage Ring.

Mu Baoming, somewhat embarrassed, said: ”Don’t worry, Brother Ye, I’ll keep looking!”

It took so long to find this little; Mu Baoming felt embarrassed. It was far from equal to the value of the third swing Ye Chen gifted from the Chaotic Cloak Celestial Spirit Hammer.

”Thank you for your hard work, Brother Mu,” Ye Chen said. ”I also came today hoping to get some weapons.”

Mu Baoming immediately said: ”Brother Ye, I’ll take down the door plaque for you right now!”

Ye Chen: ”...”

This guy is really that willing to give the door plaque to him?

Not afraid of being scolded by your dad when he comes back?

”No, no, I need swords!” Ye Chen said.

”Oh? Brother Ye, do you have any special requirements?”

”Preferably suitable for forming a Sword Array.”

”Brother Ye, are you perhaps planning to practice the Seven-Star Sword Array from the Seven Stars Hall of the True Martial Hall? If so, our Mu Mansion happens to have such a set of swords. They were previously commissioned by the Hall Master Xiao Lang from Seven Stars Hall. Later, Xiao Lang offended my dad...

My dad returned all of Xiao Lang’s materials, and the seven swords remained with the Mu Mansion...” Speaking of which, Mu Baoming felt a bit embarrassed. He couldn’t help it; his dad had a temper.

”That’s great!” Ye Chen said with a smile.

”Brother Ye, please follow me.”

Mu Baoming led Ye Chen to the treasury of the Mu Mansion.

In the treasury, treasures were dazzling, with all kinds of Dao Artifacts piled up.

Grandmaster Mu Yi indeed lived up to being the number one Artifact Refiner in Celestial Cyan City!

Mu Baoming took out a Sword Box and said: ”Brother Ye, all the seven swords are in the Sword Box; take a look!”

Ye Chen glanced at the Sword Box; its design was simple, long, with seven slots. He took the Sword Box in hand, and power surged out.

”Swish, swish, swish!”

Sword lights burst forth from the Sword Box one after another.

The seven swords were only half the length of an ordinary Long Sword and had no hilts; both ends of the sword were tips!

”This set of swords was specially forged by my dad according to the Seven-Star Sword Array. Although each sword is only a Top-grade Magical Artifact, together they are as valuable as any ordinary Dao Sword.

If Brother Ye doesn’t like them, you can freely choose any weapon from the treasury without limit!”

Mu Baoming exhibited great generosity.

Ye Chen smiled, controlling the seven swords to fly back into the Sword Box, and then stored the Sword Box in his Storage Ring, saying: ”I really like these seven swords, so there’s no need for anything else. Thank you, Brother Mu, for your kindness!”

Although tempted, Ye Chen understood the principle of not overreaching.

If he took too many weapons now, the favor from giving the Chaotic Cloak Celestial Spirit Hammer would also be heavily spent.

The favors from the Mu Mansion didn’t need to be used all at once.

”Brother Ye, you’re too polite. That hammer is crucial for our Mu Mansion. Previously, I could only forge Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts, but recently, I’ve grasped some essence of that hammer’s technique and can now almost forge Low-grade Magical Artifacts.

If my dad returns and learns that technique, forging Sacred Artifacts would be no problem at all.

Brother Ye, he’ll make a bunch of Sacred Swords for you by then!”

Ye Chen looked at Mu Baoming, suspecting that this guy might not be truly foolish but rather very clever, possibly guessing that there were more techniques to the thirty-six swings of the Chaotic Cloak Celestial Spirit Hammer.

Although Ye Chen felt that Mu Baoming’s attitude held some self-interest, he didn’t find it objectionable.

Everyone has their needs, which is a great way to maintain relationships.

After all, in this unfamiliar place, it’s impossible to build relationships without considering interests in the short term.

”Brother Mu, there’s something I’d like to ask you; can the Mu Mansion help me collect materials containing Innate Flame Energy? Of course, I’ll buy them at market price!”

Mu Baoming waved his hand, saying: ”Brother Ye, don’t say such formal words. There are such items in Celestial Cyan City, but not many. Currently, our Mu Mansion doesn’t have any in stock. If you’re not in a hurry, you can wait a bit, and I’ll organize a team to go to the Flame Desert. We should be able to find some in about half a month.”

”The Flame Desert?” Ye Chen’s eyes lit up and asked: ”Is there a fixed supply of such items there?”

Mu Baoming nodded: ”Indeed, more than seventy percent of items containing Innate Flame Energy in Celestial Cyan City come from the Flame Desert.”

”Can Brother Mu provide me with a map of the Flame Desert?”

Mu Baoming immediately guessed Ye Chen’s intention and said: ”Brother Ye, the environment in the Flame Desert is harsh with many dangers. Don’t go there alone.

Moreover, finding such items requires rich experience; otherwise, it’s easy to miss them.

How about this? I’ll organize some manpower immediately and personally accompany you.”

”Thank you for your kindness, Brother Mu, but there’s no need. I can go by myself.” Ye Chen declined Mu Baoming’s offer to accompany him.

If it were a large-scale battle, having companions would indeed be much better.

But for searching for things, it’s more convenient to go alone.

As for missing anything... Ye Chen wasn’t worried; with his Spiritual Power and Martial Arts True Eye, he could find anything valuable!
