The Way of the Sword (BL) - Chapter 144
The chests were quickly opened by Hong Yu, of course, he had to explain succinctly what each treasure was since the novice disciples did not know much about the martial world, at least as regards the treasures that a Great Sect can produce!
The red chest had a pair of short red gloves, which had engraved the rune “Force” on its fabric. This was a glove made with the fur s a magical beast intermediate level, is level between Aurore Core Realms and Soul Rising Realms. The magical beast is known as Earthquake Mole, which because of its affinity with the earth element and the strength of its claws, where this magical beast passes through will cause an earthquake. The usefulness of this red glove is quite simple since it increases the user’s strength and also allows for better control over the earth element.
“This is an item that costs 3 coins of green swords inside the sect!” Said Hai Jialin in a low voice to his colleague Hui Jiu. The two women are internal disciples of the Celestial Sword sect.
Hai Jialin was Jong Kun’s best friend, who helped him when he was at his lowest point, however, she fell into Hong Yu’s schemes and ended up with her wounded spiritual root.
The spiritual root is what they call the root of all the veins in the meridians and the location of the chakras in a body. Spiritual roots can change according to the lineage of each family or by species.
Spiritual roots are identified with a test that shows the “image” of the spiritual root, or in this case the image that most resembles it in the real world. For example, for martial cultivators who have a spiritual root in the shape of a lotus flower, this means that the appropriate cultivation method for these people would be the Blooming Lotus Breathing Method or First Spring Breathing Method.
With a lotus root, it would be very difficult for the martial cultivator to cultivate with the Fire Breathing Method or Incandescent Breathing Method, as these breathing methods are opposed to the meaning of the cold, floral lotus.
Having a damaged spiritual root is like having your meridians hurt or your chakras blocked, which could be the end of anyone’s martial cultivation path.
Of course, any poor person within the sect and without support. Since if you can gather enough purple sword coins, Hai Jialin could ask the medical sector to take care of this little problem.
With no support or strong friends, she was on her own, for who in the world would give her sword coins to a person who had her glorious future cut off?
This young female cultivator got to know the ugliness of the sect and the cruel world, her “friends” left her aside and the young people who actively pursued her to date her now disdained her.
It can be said that Hai Jialin has hit rock bottom. In a way, it was a relief to leave the sect to escape this terrible bullying.
Hai Jialin was really unlucky to have his spiritual root impaired, not to mention, that the remedy for this was very expensive. She had a good family, but they couldn’t afford to buy the ingredients to make him a pill or a potion, let alone pay for the full medicine.
The Family Hai was already glad Hai Jianlin become a disciple of the sect external Heavenly Sword; they were not a very ambitious family. However, Hai Jianlin was a person who had big dreams!
Of course, everyone was destroyed because of Jong Kun!
“Yes, it’s 3 green coins or 300 red coins. I was collecting these coins to buy this item at the cult store. However, I needed to buy some medicine for my family and I was unable to collect it again,” said Hui Jiu, a little discouraged.
Hai Jianlin sighed sadly while putting a lock of her black hair behind her ear, she didn’t seem to have made the braid too tight. Hui Jiu saw her friend start to feel nervous when she saw her messing with her hair.
“How did things get so difficult lately at the sect?” Hui Jiu said quietly. She did not expect internal disciples to be demoted so quickly to external disciples, it usually takes some time to do so.
“It is because of a possible war between our human territory and the Devils. Therefore, the sect is recruiting new disciples. Mass recruiting. Different from our time, we had to go to the capitals and make pre-selection before we could go to the official test” said Hai Jianlin after getting her hair done better.
“Yes, with new disciples coming in large quantities and the power play of those with wealth and powerful families, the internal disciples s and external will suffer even more than normal. The internal disciples will be demoted to external disciples and the external disciples will be demoted to sect envoys,” said Hai Jiu sighing.
Things at the Celestial Sword Sect were not so simple.
It is not enough to be an internal disciple, you have to continue climbing or stand firm in your positions, otherwise, they would be dragged in when there were cases like this mass recruitment and power games.
The future war has already shown its terrible face to the inner and outer disciples of the Celestial Sword sect.
Even though humanity’s number one sect, the sect was still governed by the philosophy of the strong dominating the weak. Since this has always been a matter of survival for humans, who have lived a good part of their lives fighting against the skies.
While the two internal disciples talked, Hong Yu continued to show the treasures of the chests.
The orange chest had a long coat made of refined silk and it had a color that resembled fire. This is the Red Spider Coat item. Which is made with silk threads from the Red Spiders’ webs, which are intermediate-grade Magic Beasts. This coat serves as protection against various attacks under cultivation Immortal Realms. It is also very good for adjusting the room temperature.
“Wow, doesn’t this item cost 1 big blue coin?” Said Kuang Jiang-Li, a woman who looked to be in her 25s. She is not very pretty, but she seems to be an honest person. She is also an internal disciple of the Celestial Sword sect.
“These novice disciples are very lucky! So hateful!” Jun Lin said with a pale face and a look full of envy. She looked at Zemin Yan and his group of friends.
Previously she made fun of Zemin Yan because of his innocent speech about getting away from danger and taking his friends with him. In the mind of Jun Lin, a child who has a poor appearance and dress poorly, as he did not have anything of value!
Much less such a powerful escape item!
Jun Lin just wanted to put a little bit of cruel reality in this silly child, forgetting that this child was only comforting a friend and not boasting or talking silly to appear to others!
Of course, in Jun Lin’s mind, she blamed Zemin Yan for making her misunderstand the situation.
Yes, Jun Lin was the type of person who didn’t take the blame for her mistakes. Thanks to a pampered and privileged life with little moral education.
This is not very unusual in the world of cultivation.
