Chapter 72: Chapter 70: Sword Wings! Supreme, don't trade with him.
"What is that..." Yang Ji's eyes suddenly brightened, and what he saw was a pair of wings, a pair filled with a cold steel aura.
Each feather seemed like a tiny, sharp Flying Sword, forming a pair of wings that glittered and shone with a dark, translucent luster, arranged in a tiered fashion.
The wings seemed as if they were breathing, opening and closing within the Spiritual Light like a Folding Fan, opening into a pair of wings and closing into two Flying Swords.
What attracted Yang Ji was not only their unique shape but also their quality; they were actually a low-grade Treasure Device.
[Sword Wings, Low-Grade Treasure Device, Material: Black Fine Iron. A flying Treasure Device that can also be used as armor or Flying Swords.]
"No wonder it's a Treasure Device, it's actually made of Black Fine Iron. It seems this underground world isn't devoid of treasures after all; Senior Fu Dongliu did come across a piece of Black Fine Iron." Yang Ji was overjoyed, hurried over to take down the Sword Wings, and fondly caressed them, unable to put them down.
With these Sword Wings, his shortcoming of speed was now compensated for.
Normally, a flying Treasure Device could keep up with an average Nascent Soul True Monarch, much faster than Golden Core pinnacle experts like Yin Zhi True Lord by an unknown number of times.
Glorious speeds were achievable with just a flutter of the wings.
Although Yang Ji had yet to try them, it didn't stop him from imagining beautifully.
With these Sword Wings, in a sense, he could also be considered to possess a complete set of the Invincible Taoist Outfit.
No longer would he need to "plead" with Changqing Gate.
Yes, over the years, Yang Ji learned from his master Jian Yuanzi that Supreme Bai Mei had always been striving to obtain the Technique of Golden Light Traversing the Earth, a superior speed-based Great Divine Power.
Unfortunately, Granny Tianshang had previously sabotaged his efforts, and after her transcendence, her disciple Yin Zhi True Lord was just as obstructive.
And the Supreme of Changqing Gate merely pretended to be helpless, saying, "Brother Bai, it's not that I don't agree, but the elders have objections, and as the Supreme, I can't overrule everyone, right?"
As the Sect's Supreme, he definitely had the authority to decide all matters within the Sect, but he made excuses to refuse, conspiring with the True Lords inside, merely smiling as he watched the spectacle.
One played the good guy, the other the bad guy, both secretly mocking Supreme Bai Mei.
So for many years, no matter what terms Supreme Bai Mei proposed, the other party was unwilling to trade.
Oh, that's right.
The Supreme of Changqing Gate did put forth a "happy" suggestion.
He proposed that Li Changxiao represent Changqing Gate and join the Dao Sect nominally, but still essentially be a disciple of the Canglan Sect, making everyone happy.
If Supreme Bai Mei agreed, then he was willing to pass on the entire Technique of Golden Light Traversing the Earth to Li Changxiao.
Such a shameless idea, really.
If they did this, all the rewards from the Dao Sect would go to Changqing Gate, and Canglan Sect would gain nothing.
Supreme Bai Mei naturally refused outright.
Many years of effort had been fruitless, and in recent years, he had completely given up on the notion, deciding not to covet the Technique of Golden Light Traversing the Earth anymore.
Although he did not obtain the Technique of Golden Light Traversing the Earth, Yang Ji did find a flying Treasure Device, to his enormous surprise.
Thus, he also had the confidence to tackle Dao Sect.
If such adequate preparation wasn't enough to join the Dao Sect... of course, he, Yang Ji, didn't believe it.
With such an outfit, he was truly invincible among his peers, and even if he faced an Immortal Body of the same level, he was confident he could compete.
With such a foundation, with such strength, passing the Dao Sect's assessment should not be difficult.
After joyfully accepting the Sword Wings, Yang Ji continued to search diligently. Even after examining all fifty-two clusters of Spiritual Light in the room, he did not find a second Treasure Device.
However, these Magic Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts were all crafted by Senior Fu Dongliu, representing the supreme among their peers, and Yang Ji naturally collected them all without hesitation.
Even if he couldn't use them, giving them to the Sect would represent a considerable fortune, and he couldn't let that opportunity pass by.
After exiting the Artifact Refining Room, Yang Ji wandered around other areas, but he didn't find any more treasures.
At this moment, he turned his attention to the houses themselves, constructed of millennium Vajra Wood, which was also a valuable material.
But it would be too much to dismantle someone's house, wouldn't it? That would certainly be a grave offense.
If Senior Fu Dongliu returned to find his house dismantled, he would probably only have tears of regret left, wondering why he hadn't left more treasures to fill Yang Ji's Storage Bag. That way, his house wouldn't have been taken apart.
Yang Ji's eyes flickered as he considered, but he didn't dare to act.
After all, it felt too extreme to accept a legacy and then dismantle someone's home—he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Speaking of which, Senior Fu Dongliu had shown him kindness by leaving behind the Cultivation Technique; it was one thing not to repair the house, but to dismantle it was something he absolutely couldn't do.
So, standing in front of the house, he deeply bowed three times, then he used the Teleportation Array to reach the exterior.
After that, he flew out of the underwater waterfall and found an unoccupied stone pillar to hollow out into a Cave Mansion, where he settled in.
He then took out the Sword Wings and began to refine them.
......
......
One month later.
At night.
Yang Ji finally completed the refinement of the low-grade Treasure Device.
With a single thought, the Sword Wings shrank to the size of a palm, burrowed into his body from his hand, and grew out from his back.
The Sword Wings quickly enlarged, clanging loudly! The sharp sword feathers easily pierced into the stone wall, and with a slight flutter, a burst of Spiritual Light exploded from the surface of the Sword Wings. With a thunderous noise, Yang Ji broke through the stone pillar and flew out in an instant.
At this moment, his Sword Wings stretched three feet wide behind him, constantly flapping and transforming.
