Chapter 1203: Amazing Speical Ability

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Doubled in power!

That was exactly like the Soul Consuming Enigmatic Jade!

The Chaos Blood Sword’s Special Ability was to absorb blood, but combined with the Soul Consuming Enigmatic Jade, it was also able to absorb souls! Because of that, its energy absorption rate had also increased – and without the addition of the jade, it would be extremely difficult for the sword to absorb energy!

In other words, as long as the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade on auction was paired with a Spiritual Item and with Special Abilities that complemented it, its destructive power would multiply by leaps and bounds!

To put it simply, without any sort of pairing, the two would just be separate Spiritual Items. Combining the two would make them into one extremely powerful Spiritual Item! If there was a fight involving both, the latter would definitely crush the former!

That was why the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade was put under the category of a half-Spiritual Item. It basically meant that it could be used on its own as a Spiritual Item or used to fortify another Spiritual Item – which was obviously the preferable option.

In essence, it was actually a refining material!

“Ms. Fei Xuan! What is the Special Ability of the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade? You’ll need to tell us so we know what Spiritual Item can be paired with it!”

Someone from the crowd pointed out.

Since the principles of cultivation was that: the higher your cultivation, the more difficult it would be to increase it, there were a lot people who were stuck in the same cultivation realm. They made very little progress. So, under these circumstances, a person’s resources (Spiritual Items, Spiritual Medicine, Spiritual Beasts, Formation etc) were used to compete with another’s.

To a large extent, these external factors had become the most important factor in determining the outcome of a batlle between people of the same level.

With sufficient, or better yet, abundant resources, winning a battle against an opponent with a higher combat power was not impossible.

A good example would be that time when Chen Xiaobei used the Chaos Blood Sword to kill the Emperor God. That had proven that in the cultivators’ world, owning a powerful Spiritual Item was pertinent!

The participants of the auction wanted to know if any of their current Spiritual Items could be paired up with the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade. If it could, it would then be worth fighting for!

“Ladies and gentlemen, don’t worry. I will demonstrate for you!” said Fei Xuan, as she picked up the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade.

Two muscular men carried a metal cylinder as thick as a person’s thigh onto the stage and placed it upright for the audience to see.

“Please take a look, ladies and gentlemen. This ingot is made with Silver Plume Black Steel!” pointed Fei Xuan towards the cylinder. “We are all no strangers to this material. This is our Silver Plume’s special product, a One-Star Spiritual Item, its hardness and tenacity are 100 times that of normal steel!”

The audience nodded at this common knowledge. Only Chen Xiaobei was surprised by this information.

100 times harder and more tenacious than regular steel meant that if this cylinder were made of ordinary iron, it would have to be enlarged 100 times to match this single black-steeled cylinder. It would not even be able to fit the stage.

That was mind-blowing for Chen Xiaobei.

“Ms. Fei Xuan! What’s the use of this Silver Plume Black Steel cylinder? Does it have anything to do with the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade’s ability?” asked someone in the audience who was getting impatient.

“Of course! Just watch closely! The Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade’s Special Ability will mesmerize you!”

With the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade in her hand, Fei Xuan established a line of communication with its Spiritual Attribute.

Swoosh!

Fei Xuan swung her arm forcefully and a black blade appeared in the Spiritual Jade! It was not solid but was made up of wind elements. And because it was moving so rapidly, it looked like a harmless body of light.

Zing!

The black blade was swiftly swung at the cylinder.

What happened next came completely unexpected.

It sliced through the bulky cylinder sliding off the top half and tumbled down the floor of the stage with a loud thud.

The cross-section of the cut was as smooth as glass. It had been obviously cut with a single motion, with no hesitation marks.

The audience were struck dumb. Even Chen Xiaobei was taken aback.

That was like cutting through tens of meters of thick regular steel!

Tens of meters thick!

Even if Chen Xiaobei, who was already at Celestial Cultivation held the Dragon’s Edge, he would never be able to make such a precise, clean cut!

To Chen Xiaobei, being able to cut about one third of the way into the Silver Plume Black Steel cylinder was already good enough.

The Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade really was powerful!

Zing! Zing! Zing!

Fei Xuan swung her the blade in her hand a few more times at the cylinder, slicing it into a few pieces that slid to ground as if it was fashioned out of tofu.

The cross section was just as flat and as even!

The black wind blade could not be stopped by the metal that that was 100 times stronger than regular metal!

It was phenomenal!

“Wow! That’s incredible! The wind Special Ability added so much to the sharpness of the wind blade! It could even possibly smash a Celestial Cultivator’s True Kang!”

“It’s so impressive, it’s almost absurd! I’ve never heard of any Nine-Star Spiritual Items having such stupendous Special Ability!”

“Ms. Fei Xuan said that this Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade was embedded in a meteor. Who knows, it could have fallen from an even higher-ranked Starfield! That’s could be why it possesses such an imposing Special Ability!”

The crowd was abuzz with excitement. But not everyone shared the enthusiasm. Disappointed sighs could be heard amongst the excited gasps.

“Sigh… It’s might not be such a good thing that it is so powerful… A thing with such caliber must be very expensive… We can never afford that…”

“Yeah… Needless to say, only top-tier nobles could afford the cost of the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade! We can only dream of buying it…”

“Duh! Just look at the young masters in the first row! They’re all fired up! Once Ms. Fei Xuan announces the opening bid, they will all jump in with everything they got!”

…

“Everybody, please try to keep your voices down. Next, I’m going to announce that the opening bid for this Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade is 3,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones! Any increase in bidding prices must not be lower than medium-grade Spiritual Stones! Ladies and gentlemen, you may begin to place your bids!”

Fei Xuan’s gaze was on the top-tier nobles sitting in the first row. Clearly, they were the only ones who could afford this bid.

Lu Changwei could not hold it back any longer. He turned to his side and asked in a hushed voice, “Young master, can you lend me some Spiritual Stones? I really want to buy this Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade!”

Before Dong Xiaowu could even reply, Chen Xiaobei turned to him and said, “There’s no point in borrowing money. That piece of Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade is mine!”
