Chapter 249 Nine Dragons Netherworld
The innocent voice offering advice to Yunxi rang out again:

“She’s a very good person, her aura is pure, and she has merit. She might be able to suppress that treasure, which is why I sent her to the fifth floor.”

"Sister Muxi, since you think she's so good, why don't you acknowledge her as your master?"

A sharp voice pressed on.

But this time she received no answer, only a sigh.

Yunxi was unaware of the communication between the spirits on the first floor of the pavilion. She slowly went upstairs, stopping to wait a while on each floor to make sure she wouldn't be swept off before continuing.

Two incense sticks later, Yunxi finally stepped into the fifth floor of the pavilion. Only then did she belatedly realize that her dantian was empty and the spiritual energy in her meridians had been completely squeezed out.

She quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, this time holding a high-grade spirit stone in each hand, and began to frantically absorb spiritual energy to replenish her meridians and dantian.

Two hours later, Yunxi slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the dimmed high-grade spirit stone in her hand, she was glad that she had been cautious enough. She then turned her wrist and put the spirit stone into her storage bracelet before slowly standing up.

Yunxi looked around and found the fifth floor excessively empty. There were only five shelves, each holding a treasure, giving her a sense of antiquity and vicissitude.

On the five shelves were a bronze seal, a black umbrella, a rusty sword, a white handkerchief, and a pair of gold rings.

Yunxi looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. She muttered to herself:

"Why isn't there even a proper instruction manual?"

Based on her judgment, these treasures were born longer than she was, so it's normal that she doesn't recognize any of them.

She initially intended to choose one based on her intuition, but then remembered Elder Han's advice: if the treasure that gave birth to the artifact spirit didn't like her and kicked her out, the embarrassment would be secondary; the real problem would be wasting an opportunity.

After much deliberation, Yunxi decided to let her treasures choose her. She then politely bowed to the five treasures and said:

“You were born before Yunxi, and I don’t know if I am qualified to possess you. So I’ll let you make the choice.”

After saying that, he sat cross-legged on the ground and then activated the "Thousand Shadows Supporting the Wind" technique, gathering wind spiritual power around himself. At the same time, he released his divine sense and swept it over the five treasures, thus demonstrating his strength.

Yunxi's goal was clear: to choose a defensive magic weapon that suited her wind spirit root.

Since she began cultivating, she has accumulated some resources. The Seven Star Deadly Staff, activated by lightning spiritual power, enhances her physical cultivation strength and is now her main weapon.

The Frostbite Needle is compatible with her ice spirit root and is a matching spirit treasure for the "Bright Moon Frost Technique". It is suitable for surprise attacks and group attacks, and belongs to the category of auxiliary attack weapons.

Needless to say, Xuanlei Ziyan is primarily used for attack, aside from alchemy.

So after considering her equipment, Yunxi realized that she was missing a defensive magic weapon, preferably one powered by wind spirit power. This way, she would be fully equipped, capable of both offense and defense, which would be enough for her before ascending to the Spirit Realm.

As the "Thousand Shadows Supporting the Wind" technique was activated, the wind spiritual energy around Yunxi became increasingly dense. Subsequently, three identical versions of herself appeared around her, and a fourth Yunxi was also forming.

Seeing that none of the five treasures were moving, Yunxi simply started cultivating the fourth clone on the spot. Now that her cultivation was at the peak of the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, coupled with her powerful divine sense, she was able to barely condense the fourth clone.

The moment the fourth shadow fragment successfully solidified, the black umbrella flew to Yunxi and formed a contract with her. The instant the contract was established, the black umbrella opened on its own and slowly stopped above Yunxi's head.

Yunxi discovered a new contract seal in her sea of ​​consciousness, and opened her eyes in surprise. She raised her hand to grasp the umbrella handle, and then the five words "Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella" appeared in her mind.

A black dragon appeared on the umbrella surface, circled around once, and then returned to the surface, so lifelike that Yunxi couldn't help but touch it to confirm that the umbrella surface was flat.

“Master, I am the spirit of the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella. You may call me Obsidian.”

Yunxi responded with a smile:
"Obsidian, it's a pleasure to form a bond with you."

"Ok!"

Obsidian gave a somewhat aloof reply, then the black umbrella instantly shrank, and the other party politely asked:
"Does Master wish for Obsidian to enter the dantian or remain outside?"

After thinking for a moment, Yunxi said, "I'd like to get to know you better first. Is it alright if I stay outside for the time being?"

She also greatly respected the opinions of the spirits.

"Yes, please remove that lifeless bamboo hairpin, Master. Obsidian will take its place."

Yunxi smiled and did as she was told, putting the hairpin given to her by Qingzhu Zhenjun into her storage bracelet. Then, the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella transformed into a black light and inserted into Yunxi's hair. It then turned from black to white, and the warm white jade umbrella became her new hairpin.

Yunxi even touched it and communicated with Heiyao:

"Obsidian, you can change color too?"

"Yes, Master, my true form was made from the dragon bones of the Nine Netherworld Dragon. The dragon bones are white, so I have both black and white colors. My previous master preferred black, so I mostly appear in black."

Yunxi gasped upon hearing Heiyao's explanation. This was a treasure crafted from dragon bones; it could certainly be considered a Xuanbao (mystical treasure).

Obsidian seemed to sense Yunxi's thoughts and responded:

“Master is right. As long as you don’t perish, Obsidian can ascend to the Immortal Realm with you. How much of the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella’s power you can unleash depends entirely on your strength.”

Upon hearing this, Yunxi suddenly felt that her cultivation level was somewhat inadequate, so she immediately assured him:

"I understand. I will definitely work hard to cultivate myself so that you won't regret acknowledging me as your master."

"Alright, Obsidian looks forward to Master's growth."

Yunxi happily touched the shrunken white jade umbrella on her hair bun before descending the pavilion with a delighted expression.

When she arrived at the first floor of the artifact storage pavilion, that familiar, shrill voice rang out again:

"Wow! Wow! She really got that dark-skinned guy to acknowledge her as his master!"

"Yes, that's my skill."

This time, it was Yunxi herself who responded. The next moment, the first floor of the pavilion fell silent again, with no spirit speaking.

Yunxi smiled, her almond-shaped eyes crinkling. She bowed to the spirits around her in thanks, and stepped out of the artifact storage pavilion with a touch of pride.

As she left, the doors of the Treasure Pavilion slowly closed once more.

The next instant, the old man with the white beard dragging on the ground appeared beside Yunxi, still holding a doll in his hand. He looked Yunxi up and down, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, and said with a smile:

"Now that Obsidian has acknowledged you as its master, this Nine Nether Dragon Umbrella is yours. I hope you will treat it well."

"Yes, Senior, rest assured, Yunxi will take good care of her magic weapon."

"Here you go, little mouse. Come play again sometime!"

As soon as it finished speaking, it flew in an arc and landed in Yunxi's arms. It scurried into its owner's arms on all fours and squeaked twice to express its fear.

"Where do you wish to go? I will escort you on your way."

The old man asked with a smile.

"This junior returns to Lingxuefeng."

The white-bearded old man stroked his beard, waved his sleeve, and escorted Yunxi to the foot of Lingxue Peak, where they bumped into Zong Hao, who had come looking for her.
