Chapter 1563: Tool Nourishing Technique

After dealing with the goldscale dragon fish, Xiang Shaoyun walked around the public square. He first arrived at the bookshelves. As he studied the books, he found that they contained some rare battle techniques and even some techniques that had disappeared for a very long time.

"Truly worthy of being one of the most powerful ancient dynasties. They have quite a rich collection," Xiang Shaoyun gasped in amazement.

His gaze landed on one of the books. On the animal hide cover were some ancient characters: Tool Nourishing Technique. His gaze instantly became burning hot as he retrieved the book and started flipping through it.

The Tool Nourishing Technique was not an astral energy cultivation method or a battle technique. Rather, it was a secret technique used for nourishing lifebound equipment. This was a technique many cultivators dreamed of.

Many cultivators knew that a weapon nourished into a lifebound weapon would be the best weapon for themselves, but very few people knew how they could go about making one. It was extremely hard to nourish a weapon, and many people eventually gave up. It would be much easier to just use a weapon forged by some refiners.

Only the few patient ones would be able to complete their lifebound weapon by luck. As for the Tool Nourishing Technique before Xiang Shaoyun, it was the most authentic method of nourishing one's weapon. It would not only expedite the process but also enhance the grade of the nourished weapon. A regular nourishing technique wouldn't be able to compare with it.

Xiang Shaoyun had been nourishing his lifebound weapon all this while but had yet to succeed because he was too unskilled at nourishing weapons. If he had gotten this Tool Nourishing Technique long ago, things would have been completely different.

With the Light of Wisdom, Xiang Shaoyun rapidly memorized the technique and soon mastered its profound and complicated contents.

I've read a lot of tool nourishing books before, but they are nothing compared with this book, lamented Xiang Shaoyun inwardly. With the Tool Nourishing Technique, nourishing his own lifebound weapon would no longer be an issue.

Xiang Shaoyun then looked over the other books. Most of them were battle techniques and cultivation methods at the saint-grade and below. There were only a few god-grade techniques among the collection, and they could only be cultivated by members of the Barbaric Dynasty. Thus, they wouldn't be too helpful for the Ziling Sect.

Next, Xiang Shaoyun went to look at the weapons on display. The weapons seemed crude, but their grades were definitely not low. If they were refined further, their grades could probably be increased. It was quite obvious that the Barbaric Dynasty's forging capabilities were rather lacking.

While Xiang Shaoyun was going through the pile of random items, his gaze landed on an intricate-looking jade case. He could sense that something extraordinary was stored within. He activated his divine dao eyes and could see that there seemed to be a god-grade object within the case. However, he couldn't see through the case because it was sealed by a God Realm power. In fact, it was already impressive for him to be able to get a slight impression of the item within.

He picked up the jade case and tried to open it. However, he couldn't. He thought to himself, Looks like something extraordinary is stored in this case. I'll let Father help open it and see what's inside.

He then put the jade case away unhesitatingly. The figure raised its brow and muttered, "This kid sure knows his stuff."

Apart from the jade case, Xiang Shaoyun had also picked some god-grade materials and put them away. He was planning to finish nourishing his saber, and these materials would be required. Only with his own lifebound weapon would he be able to maximize his combat prowess.

The others had also gathered some items for themselves, but they all did it in moderation. After all, this vault was discovered by Xiang Shaoyun. Thus, he held the final right over all the treasures here. In any case, there was also Despair, the rightful claimant to these treasures.

After taking what he wanted, Xiang Shaoyun returned to stand before the statue and asked the figure, "Senior, how long will my friend take to complete the inheritance?"

"Between a month to six months," replied the figure. "You guys should leave first. I still have something else to tell him afterward. Let him handle the remaining treasures as well."

Xiang Shaoyun said, "Senior, you're not thinking of snatching my friend's body, right?"

The figure before him was not weak at all. If it wanted to snatch Despair's body, Despair would be completely defenseless. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun couldn't help but be worried.

"Bastard! Is this emperor that kind of person? If this emperor wants to snatch his body, none of you can stop me!" said the figure furiously.

"I hope you're telling the truth. If something happens to my friend, I'll have no choice but to be rude," said Xiang Shaoyun as he released the strength of his soul, unleashing an overbearing power that could pose some threat to the figure.

The figure might seem strong, but it did not have much strength left after existing for so long.

"Haha, since ancient times, you're the first person to ever dare to threaten this emperor. The young are truly becoming talented," said the figure with a hearty laugh.

"This kid is merely worried about my friend. Don't mind me, senior," said Xiang Shaoyun as he cupped his hands respectfully. He then looked at the goldscale dragon fish and said, "I'm going to take both you and the milky way spring away. Do not resist. That way, I'll be able to take you out of this place. I can even supply you with more draconic aura to help you grow into a true dragon."

"Sure, sure, I'll listen to you, boss!" said the goldscale dragon fish, who seemed to have adapted to its new role quickly. Under Money's guidance, it had started to address Xiang Shaoyun as boss.

Pleased, Xiang Shaoyun said, "Good. Come!"

His astral cosmos sea flashed, and a powerful will descended upon the goldscale dragon fish, dragging both the fish and the spring into the astral cosmos sea. Xiang Shaoyun had long prepared a suitable spot for the spring in his astral cosmos sea. In fact, he had created a decently sized pond surrounded by saint crystals. With the saint crystals, the spring would maintain its purity, becoming a great home for the goldscale dragon fish.

The figure looked at Xiang Shaoyun with an odd expression as it asked, "Since when were astral cosmos seas capable of storing life? This kid has a great secret on his body!" With a sigh, he said, "Forget it. The past is the past. Why do I even care? I only need to ensure that the Barbaric Dynasty's inheritance is passed on."

After pulling the goldscale dragon fish and the spring into his astral cosmos sea, Xiang Shaoyun said, "Let's leave."

The others followed him out. While leaving, Devouring Ghost transmitted to Xiang Shaoyun, "Overlord, are we not taking the rest of the treasures inside?"

"Let Despair deal with them," said Xiang Shaoyun.

Devouring Ghost looked somewhat indignant, but he did not dare to go against Xiang Shaoyun's wishes. He was confident that the overlord had his own reasons.
