Chapter 33
The cave was completely destroyed. No one could walk through the passage. Jiang Chen felt lucky that he hadn’t started to clear up the rocks, otherwise he would be exhausted.
After a while, he arrived at a wide space.
A sword was radiating there. The whole cave was illuminated by it.
Legendary weapons emitted lights. That was another characteristic of them.
This sword was rectangular, with a triangular tip. Its sides were white, and its center was red. The handle was crimson.
When it was radiating, it looked like a rainbow in a vast, clear sky.
Jiang Chen was quite attracted to this sword when he saw it, like women were attracted to exquisite jewelry.
Jiang Chen was extremely inspired by this thought.
However, the Redcloud Sword only said, “There are still some treasures in the cave. Do you want them or not?”
Jiang Chen gazed blankly for a while, and then nodded affirmatively. “Of course.”
Jiang Chen entered the cave that could collapse again at any time. The Redcloud Sword had cleared the passage, so people could walk through it if they crouched down.
Nevertheless, the dust that kept falling from the ceiling and the noises it made were quite disturbing.
Jiang Chen found a ring with the help of Redcloud.
A mustardseed ring? And it’s top grade.
The name mustardseed ring came from a Buddhist metaphor of a mustard seed containing the Sumeru mountain. It was a treasure used for storage.
A top-grade mustardseed ring not only had a huge space for storage, but an anti-corrosion effect. As long as the ring wasn’t damaged, the panaceas stored in it would never go bad.
Jiang Chen opened the mustardseed ring excitedly.
But, it was empty. It was almost fifteen feet high, and contained a space bigger than one thousand square feet.
I can put the Redcloud Sword here.
The Redcloud Sword was a spiritual sword, hence it would draw attention from people. Jiang Chen wouldn’t have to worry about it if he kept it inside the mustardseed ring.
The class of a spiritual treasure was decided by the class of its ware pattern.
For example, Jiang Chen’s new bow had the pattern of fire on its arrows, which was a class-one pattern. So the bow was a class-one spiritual treasure.
The spiritual treasures that could generate weapon souls needed to have a class-seven or higher pattern, which was created through various ware patterns of different properties.
When Jiang Chen was in the Sacred Zone, he could mix three kinds of class-seven ware patterns.
That was why he knew how gorgeous the Redcloud Sword was, since it had five kinds of ware patterns, all of which were higher than class-seven. The mixing skill used to make it was also marvelous. Jiang Chen was enamored with it.
Unfortunately, the Redcloud Sword was damaged. It used to be a class-eight spiritual treasure, but at the moment it was only a class one.
It would not be as easy to repair a spiritual treasure of this level as it would be to repair the bow.
He had to collect materials and spent some time figuring out a way to repair it.
“Do you still remember how the sword was so severely damaged?” Jiang Chen asked the soul.
“In a battle – a battle as devastating as an earthquake.”
Jiang Chen nodded. The previous lord of the Redcloud Sword probably died in that battle and left the severely damaged Redcloud Sword behind.
“Take your time. When the Redcloud Sword is repaired, your memory will come back as well,” Jiang Chen said.
He thought of the current situation in the Southwind Ridge and set off immediately.
The Southwind Ridge was being besieged by the Qingcheng Sect, the Fiery Lion Gang, and the Bloody Hand Gang of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. They were extremely aggressive, intending to carve up the Jiangs’ properties.
The Jiangs had three main industries in the Southwind Ridge that were essential to their livelihood.
The first was mining. It was the main reason that the Jiangs to chose to settle down in the Southwind Ridge. It was abundant in mineral resources. Even after years of exploitation, it still had huge amounts of minerals underground.
The second was the herbal mountain. With the Jiangs’ endeavors, more and more medicinal materials were produced every year.
The materials Jiang Chen had used to refine the Gathering Qi Pills were from the herbal mountain.
The third was the mountain where Jiang Chen had gone to during the winter hunt. It guaranteed each family a source of meat from the abundant beasts in the mountain.
At that moment, the three forces had agreed on how to split up these resources. Among them the Qingcheng Sect was the strongest, so they would take the mine.
