  ————

  "Hmm." (Updated to the latest version) Ji Ning flipped his hand, and a gold ingot emitting a blue light appeared in it. He threw it directly onto the black snake mans stall, "Here."

  "Is that all the gold?" The black snake man and the two men behind him were flustered, looking at the gold that was only slightly larger than a finger, "Isnt it pure gold?"

  "Your Highness."

  "Your Excellency."

  These three men all cried out in grief, how could they explain to the tribe? The other tribal warriors were still waiting outside the city. Those tribal warriors didnt dare enter the city... because each person entering the city had to pay a sheepskin or an equivalent item.

  "How stupid, thats Rajin."

  "Ill give you 100 yuan for this Lei Jin."

  "Only a hundred Beast Head Gold? For this piece of Thunder Gold, Im willing to offer 160 Beast Head Gold in exchange. Ill arrange for the gold to be sent over immediately!" Instantly, the people beside him started bidding, they were all influential figures from Western City or came from families of innate Spiritual Beings, or were powerful individuals from tribes that had migrated into Western City. How sharp were their eyes?

  The black snake man picked up the piece of thunder gold with one hand, and clearly felt that its weight was far beyond that of gold. He looked at his two companions beside him, both shocked and delighted.

  "Thank you, young master."

  "Thank you, great young master."

  Three men burst into excited thanks.

  "Now you know, right? Dī Shuǐ Jiàn is a renowned figure, and his familys young master has such an identity. How could he forcefully take your weapons? He just casually threw out some words and scared you guys silly." A chubby old man with beast skin beside him said loudly, obviously intentionally saying it for Jì Níng who was not far away to hear.

  Ji Ning smiled, and the three swords in his hand suddenly disappeared into Na Jie. Because Na Jies space was limited, Ji Ning only carried a few pieces of beast head gold with him, while the rest were precious treasures.

  ……

  Inside the hall.

  Ji Yichuan still sat high in his seat, Wei Chi Xue sat on his left side, both of them slowly eating the food in front of them.

  Whoosh!

  A figure rushed in, it was Ji Ning who had just returned from shopping.

  "Father, mother." Ji Ning said in succession.

  Ji Yichuan frowned: "Dont you pay attention to time when youre out having fun?"

  Ji Ning quickly and quietly ran to his own position, knelt down and started eating. The food for the noon meal was quite rich, with a lot of meat dishes, staple foods, wine and water. Ji Nings current appetite was extremely large, and the large amount of food and drink on the table was soon completely eaten by him.

  Wei Chi Xue smiled as she watched her son devour his food like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds.

  "Father, mother." Ji Ning thought of the scabbard and three swords he had bought today and continued, "I met three tribal warriors while strolling around the streets today. They should be from a very remote area and have come to Xifeng City with great difficulty. They were here to sell a divine artifact. And I...have bought this divine artifact."

  "Divine soldier?" Ji Yichuan, who was sitting above, furrowed his brow. "In the treasure vault of my familys Western Manor, there are plenty of divine soldiers. Didnt you choose two divine soldiers before? What good stuff can those peddlers in the city sell?"

  Because Ji Ning had yet to reach the Qi Refining stage of the First Heaven, he naturally couldnt use magical treasures, so he went to the treasure trove within the estate and specially selected two sword-type divine artifacts. Of course, during ordinary battles in the Confinement Chamber, they used only ordinary weapons.

  "Father, the two divine weapons I chose from the treasury are far inferior to this one Ive chosen." Ji Ning said solemnly.

  "Oh?" Ji Yichuan looked at his son.

  "In fact, the divine soldier I bought is a damaged sword artifact." Ji Ning explained, "Some of the mysterious patterns on it are completely broken, so it can only be used as a sharp divine soldier. However, its indeed very sharp, surpassing all the divine soldiers in the mansion, including the ones I previously selected. Even with force, I can use it to pierce through the Golden Chariot Armor."

  "Rip open Jin Chens clothes?" Ji Yichuan looked shocked, "Let me take a look."

  Ji Ning immediately stretched out his hand, and in it appeared that ancient scabbard with three swords. He stood up and presented them to his father.

  Ji Yichuan took it over and examined it carefully, then pulled out three swords to check: "The array method symbols on the sword body are completely broken, but I can feel its rhyme... Its indeed a flying sword treasure! Unfortunately, its a damaged treasure, and generally speaking, a damaged treasure doesnt have much value. At most, the treasure itself may be smelted or perhaps some materials can be extracted."

  Ji Ning nodded.

  He had read many books and knew that the value of a damaged magic treasure was very low, because the materials of the damaged magic treasure itself were mixed together after being refined once, even if they were melted and extracted, only a small amount could be extracted.

  "Hiss!" Ji Yichuans finger touched the sword blade, and a thread of blood seeped out from his fingertip, causing him to reveal a look of surprise. "What a sharp sword! Without infusing any true yuan energy, the sword itself is already this sharp. Ive never seen anything like it before. Xueer, come take a look, maybe you can discern its origins?"

  Wei Chi Xue took it and examined it carefully, after a long time slowly shook his head: "Cant recognize."

  "Mother, has this Flying Sword Treasure ever entered a stage before it was damaged?" Ji Ning asked in rapid succession.

  "Of course, its a top-grade treasure." Wei Chi Xue nodded and said, "Even if this treasure is completely damaged, its sharpness can already compare to some ungraded treasures. When its in good condition... of course, its a top-grade treasure. But which grade it belongs to, Im afraid even the entire Yan Mountain wouldnt have anyone who could tell."

  Ji Ning nodded, this point he understood.

  Generally, the spiritual energy cultivated by the pre-heavenly born spirits is not graded, and only the Zifu cultivators can use graded spiritual treasures. Refining spiritual treasures is even more difficult... Throughout the entire Yanshan continent, no one has ever heard of anyone who can personally refine spiritual treasures. Perhaps only some extremely powerful tribes in the distant lands have strong practitioners who can refine spiritual treasures.

  "The Great Xia Dynasty has been passed down from the era of gods and demons to this day." Ji Yichuan threw a scabbard with three swords to his son, "The endless territory it rules has a history of billions of years, countless tribes have risen and fallen, broken and destroyed, leaving behind countless treasures. Some damaged artifacts are not uncommon after battles, my familys collection of damaged artifacts is also in the hundreds, most of which have unclear origins. This damaged artifact can be so sharp, its quite rare, just right for you to use."

  "Wei Er, you will become a Xian Tian born spiritual being in the future, and this true yuan infusion is not inferior to any stage of the law... its power may not be comparable to it!"

  Ji Ning nodded.

  The law is powerful because it is mysterious and unpredictable.

  Generally, the Xian Tian Shen Ling uses magical artifacts, which are naturally strange and unpredictable. However, the Shen Mo Lian Ti Liu... is most skilled in close combat, they possess a nearly indestructible body, great strength, endurance, and recovery ability, so even when using magical artifacts, the Shen Mo Lian Ti Liu still uses swords, spears, and other close combat weapons.

  "This scabbard and three swords, even if I become a pre-heavenly spirit, will still be suitable for me to use." Ji Nings heart was filled with joy as he thought, "Im afraid it will accompany me for a very long time, I should give it a name... hmm, lets call it the North Ming Sword!"

  Ji Ning suddenly thought of Bei Ming, which actually has a reason.

  That year, Ji Yichuan left the vast land of Yan Mountain and wandered endlessly on the vast land, even going to the endless sea in the north. The vast sea was also called "Beiming Great Sea" by people. On that Beiming Great Sea, there were many islands. Ji Yichuan drifted and roamed, and he also met Yu Chi Xue.

  They traveled together, went through life and death, eventually fell in love, and then got pregnant.

  It was precisely because of pregnancy... that they would leave the dangerous North Sea and rush back to Yanshan. However, on the way, they encountered danger, and Wei Chixue suffered serious injuries, which is also why it is said that "Ji Ning was injured in the womb". At the same time, the divine beast "Bai Shui Ze" also carried Wei Chixue to escape at a critical moment.

  Ji Yichuan also said that Bai Shu had saved Ji Nings life.

  Parents met in Beihai, fell in love and became pregnant.

  The word "Bei Ming" certainly has a special meaning for Ji Ning.

  "Father, mother." Ji Ning said solemnly, "This scabbard with three swords, I will name it, and call it the North Ming Sword!"

  ******

  At the time when Ji Ning was delighted to obtain the Northern Ming Sword, in a place called Winged Snake Lake on this vast land of Yan Mountain...

  Ying She Lake, a vast lake with seemingly no boundaries, stretching nearly 100 miles in length and width.

  It is said that deep mountains and great lakes must have monsters.

  This is true! This vast and mysterious great lake is undoubtedly hiding a great demon, and the small demons inside are countless. The name of the great demon in this lake is Winged Snake, which is an old demon that has lived for over a thousand years, with boundless power, born to fly, and can control water and poison, it is a ferocious and powerful great demon.

  In the depths of the Great Lake Central lies a small island, which is exactly where the nest of the winged snake is located.

  "Hiss~~" A gigantic black serpent, hundreds of meters long, coiled and curled up, its two enormous scaly wings spread wide as if covering the sky and earth. Its crimson pupils stared at the group of shivering demonic beasts in front of it, as wave after wave of icy cold air emanated from it, causing a layer of frost to form on the ground around it.

  The little monsters were densely packed together, some kneeling or crouching, each one trembling with fear.

  There were about a hundred or so demonic beasts that had fallen on the ground covered in frost, completely frozen to death.

  "Hiss~~" The enraged winged snake let out a series of angry roars.

  Those little demons, all sorts of snakes, crabs, fish and other ferocious monsters, one by one responded in low voices. It was clear that they were all extremely terrified.

  "Roar!" The Winged Snake let out a cold, furious roar.

  Wow wow wow~~~~

  All the monsters were relieved, and they flew away one after another. Many of them left the small island and entered the deep lake. Some of the monsters dispersed on the island to guard it.

  "Hiss~~" The huge black snake suddenly turned into mist, and then condensed to form a black-clad man.

  "I have ninety-two sons!" The black-clad man gritted his teeth. "More than half of them died as they grew up, and only sixteen survived... And among them, the one with divine demon blood is just one... My most beloved Chi Meng!"

  The snake is lustful by nature.

  Although it doesnt have any divine or magical bloodline itself, it has many acquired demonic and divine beasts. For a thousand-year-old old demon who has cultivated... some acquired divine beasts are naturally easy to capture, but the birth of divine beasts is very rare, and his only child with a divine or magical bloodline is Chi Meng.

  It is also its most beloved, and it has determined that as long as the Red Mang breaks through to become a congenital spiritual being, it will possess even greater strength, and its future prospects will be even more boundless than its own.

  "Chi Meng, I told you before, dont go out until you become a congenital spirit. Humans may be delicious, but if you eat too many of them, the Ji clan will come to punish us." The black-clothed man growled in pain.

  His arrogant child Chi Meng, sneaked out and found that human flesh was indeed far superior to other demon beasts, it was truly delicious.

  Deceiving her father, she went out time and again to indulge in wanton behavior.

  "My child, you must be brought back." The man in black instantly transformed into a giant winged snake, his bony wings shaking the air as he turned into a dark shadow and disappeared into the clouds on the horizon.
