Chapter 997: Chapter 354: Promotion, Appearance of Great Power (Part 2)
Fu Changsheng read through it several times.
He found that compared to the Orange-level Assassins, besides having seven extra appointment slots, the Contribution Points percentage from subordinates significantly increased. Of course, the most enticing aspect was the promotion to Shadow Sect Outer Disciple selection.
Only an Outer Disciple.
Can use points to exchange for the "Essence of Ten Thousand Woods".
After a while.
A message came again from the yellow mask:
"Three years later, there will be an Outer Disciple selection contest. Please keep the yellow mask with you then, and the mask will guide you to the competition venue."
Immediately after.
A Guiding Mantra was transmitted into his mind:
"Three years, huh?"
This period, for a Purple Mansion Cultivator, is but a short seclusion period.
Fu Changsheng pondered for a moment:
"With this time, I can first refine the six pieces of Celestial Thunder Bamboo into a Thunder Shock Sword."
After all, what the Outer Sect selection contest entails is unknown. Having one more card up his sleeve gives him more assurance, but he doesn’t understand Artifact Refining, and such Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects like Celestial Thunder Bamboo can’t be easily shown. If even the slightest rumor leaks, it will certainly lead to great disaster.
He sighed softly.
He finally understood why those High-Tier cultivators are skilled in everything from pills, talismans, artifacts, to arrays. Many times, asking others is not as good as relying on oneself:
"What should I do?"
While worrying.
A familiar mechanical voice echoed in his Sea of Divine Sense:
"Ding"
"You have been promoted to Shadow Sect Yellow-level Assassin, earning three thousand Clan Contribution Points."
Immediately after.
The Clan Contribution Points on the panel instantly changed to five thousand.
Looking at the soaring Contribution Points, Fu Changsheng did not choose to continue adding points. The last time he entered the Heaven-Reaching Tower, it merely allowed him to cultivate the Fourth Layer of the "Great Derivation Technique" to nearly halfway, yet places like the Heaven-Reaching Tower are rare opportunities without any danger.
Therefore.
He thought about saving up Contribution Points to twenty thousand, and once cultivating the "Great Derivation Technique" completely, if time permits, he could explore the Otherworld one or two. Since he goes in person, perhaps he could exchange for different Spiritual Objects there.
Of course.
Before this.
He must find a way to obtain a few bottles of "Divine Yin Profound Water," as the Fourth Layer of the "Great Derivation Technique" consumes even more "Divine Yin Profound Water" than he expected.
After clearing his thoughts.
He stood up and walked towards the storage shelf of the straw hut where six harvested Celestial Thunder Bamboo were placed. He planned to first take them out and probe Runzhi for her opinion.
Currently, only Runzhi in the clan is a Tier Three Refiner.
However.
Whether she can refine the Thunder Shock Sword is also unknown.
Yet.
When his hand landed on the Celestial Thunder Bamboo, the burning stick, condensed from the Heavenly Dao Sword Heart, which had been quietly staying in his Dantian, suddenly buzzed with excitement:
"This is....."
His Sword Dao Seed in the body first devoured Uncle Feng’s Sword Dao Seed, then completely devoured Moon Gazing Sword Mountain, subsequently transforming into the state of a burning stick.
However.
Afterwards.
He tried countless ways.
Discovered he couldn’t drive the burning stick in the slightest.
This Celestial Thunder Bamboo was of great importance, and he dared not let it be devoured. Just as he was about to store them in the storage bag, the burning stick buzzed, flying out from his body and hovering above the storage shelf, followed by a huge suction force.
Fu Changsheng had not yet managed to withdraw the Celestial Thunder Bamboo.
Boom!
The six pieces of Celestial Thunder Bamboo were all swallowed by the burning stick:
"Damn it!"
This was the thousand-year-old Celestial Thunder Bamboo he painstakingly cultivated using "Life Source Water"!
Buzz!
After the burning stick swallowed all six pieces of Celestial Thunder Bamboo, runes flickered over the surface, light shone brilliantly, and the devoured Celestial Thunder Bamboo was continuously decomposed and fused internally.
Immediately after.
Boom!
A powerful wave of Spiritual Power spread outward like a raging tide:
"This power!"
Fu Changsheng’s heart jolted, retreating repeatedly while circulating Spiritual Power to form a protective shield around himself to resist the impact of this powerful force.
Looking at the flickering runes on the burning stick.
Fu Changsheng murmured softly.
Because this time was different from the previous two devourings, the burning stick despite decomposing the energy of Celestial Thunder Bamboo, did not absorb it:
"Could it be....."
A bold speculation emerged in his mind.
Fu Changsheng’s breaths turned heavy, if it truly was as he guessed, it would save him a lot of trouble.
Eyes tightly fixated on the burning stick.
After several hours.
Buzz!
A dazzling bright light rose.
The burning stick quivered violently.
Then, three beams of light, varied in shape yet all emanating astonishing Spiritual Power fluctuations, flew out from the burning stick, gradually forming in midair.
Fu Changsheng looked intently, unexpectedly seeing three uniquely shaped swords!
The sword body was slender, shimmering with pale blue lightning, threads of Power of Thunder leapt on the blade, as if possessing life. Mysterious runes engraved on the sword body, glowing as they circulated, emanated a strong aura of power.
"Could this be the Thunder Shock Sword?"
Fu Changsheng was both surprised and delighted, not expecting the burning stick actually refined three Thunder Shock Swords from the Celestial Thunder Bamboo:
"Haha, excellent, excellent!"
Unexpectedly.
This burning stick even brought this unexpected delight.
With a wave of his hand!
One of the Thunder Shock Swords fell into his hand.
The touch was smooth and warm, yet he could clearly feel the overwhelming power contained within the sword body. When he circulated Spiritual Power and injected it into the sword, the sword body’s lightning instantly intensified, emitting a crisp sword hum, as if cheering joyfully:
