Chapter 69 Natal Magic Treasure (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)

Upon seeing the words "avoid the divine sense probing of Nascent Soul cultivators" in the information about the opportunity, Li Shizhou's heart skipped a beat.

He obtained a red jade talisman from Su Qingyu, which, when combined with the secret technique "Concealing Breath," was remarkably effective at concealing one's aura and hiding one's form.

Li Shizhou originally thought it was just a one-time consumable, but now it seems that it can be used repeatedly.

Li Shizhou had paid attention to each cultivator who took out a treasure in the secret chamber just now, and the cultivator holding the jade trough was not far from him.

This person only wanted to exchange a few demon cores and some refining materials for a powerful defensive ancient treasure; the jade trough was just an extra.

So Li Shizhou used the golden ball treasure he had obtained after killing the silver-crowned male cultivator of the Wanfa Sect to replace everything in front of him.

After the trade fair ended, he moved to a new private room and participated in two more.

However, nothing particularly appealed to him, so he returned to his cave with little interest.

A few days later, the day arrived for them to set off on patrol to the front lines.

Li Shizhou and three fellow disciples arrived at Huangming Island through the teleportation array of the "Starry Sky Palace". Afterwards, they will take the flying magic weapon provided by the sect to the designated sea area.

Yuan Yao was one of the three fellow disciples, and she was dressed in a black outfit as usual.

She was asked to participate in dangerous missions shortly after joining the Star Palace; one wonders if she regrets joining.

The other two disciples included Chen Qinggu, who was in the late stage of Core Formation. He looked to be in his fifties and had a calm demeanor. He was in charge of the team.

There was also a male cultivator named "Murong Lou". Like Yuan Yao, he was also at the early stage of Core Formation. He looked to be in his twenties and his demeanor was noticeably more frivolous.

After leaving Huangming Island, Captain Chen Qinggu took out a silver magic weapon, pointed his finger, and it transformed into a flying boat that was five or six zhang long and nearly one zhang wide.

Then he said, "Fellow disciples, let's go, lest we be late."

The other three silently stepped onto it.

This mission involves patrolling the waters north of Huangming Island for a period of two years.

Of course, there is also a way to end the mission early: if the whole team can kill three cultivators of the same level from the Reverse Star Alliance, they can return to Tianxing City early.

But the difficulty is obvious; it would be good enough if they didn't get counter-attacked.

Therefore, apart from Li Shizhou, the other three people on the flying boat all had solemn expressions.

Team leader Chen Qinggu frowned, and sometimes sighed softly.

Li Shizhou appeared relaxed because he was confident.

Even when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages, the treasures on his body could buy him some time. At worst, he could abandon the array-setting equipment and destroy the teleportation array inside the Void Heaven Palace.

He also considered the scarcity of land in the Chaotic Star Sea and prepared a water-avoidance array as a precaution.

Even if things go wrong, they can be successfully teleported underwater.

The four of them flew across the vast ocean in a flying boat. Every seven or eight days or so, the captain, Chen Qinggu, would take out a disc-shaped magical artifact and infuse it with magical power.

Deep in the sea below, the Star Palace has set up a surveillance array, and those inside Tianxing City can know whether a group of cultivators has patrolled this area.

If you hide away to slack off and try to cheat, you will be severely punished when you return.

Three months later.

The four of them were sitting in a flying boat. They had just flown over a small island when suddenly a black-clad cultivator flew towards them from ten miles away, followed by a bird-like demon beast.

The person attacked the monster behind him while fleeing, seemingly being chased.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that this person was at the early stage of Core Formation, and the creature chasing him was a level six demonic beast.

"Yu Kun of Jiyin Island," said Chen Qinggu, the team leader, coldly.

Murong Lou was overjoyed upon hearing this. With a thought, a blue, short-bladed magic weapon flew out from his body, ready to go and kill the enemy.

Li Shizhou, who was standing next to him, grabbed him and said, "Junior Brother Murong, don't be hasty. What if it's a trap?"

"Junior Brother Li is right," Chen Qinggu also chimed in in agreement.

Soon, the Core Formation cultivators of Jiyin Island also discovered the four people riding in the flying boat, and their faces immediately showed shock.

Ignoring the level six demonic beast behind him, he flashed and fled in the opposite direction of the Star Palace Flying Boat. Naturally, he was entangled by the demonic beast and could not get away for a while.

Seeing this, Commander Chen Qinggu was overjoyed. He put away the flying boat and ordered the other three to fly away and kill the enemy.

A red light flashed in Li Shizhou's eyes as he used the "Spirit Sighting Technique" to scan his surroundings.

Suddenly, he waved his hand, and a flying blade with crimson flames shot towards the void several miles to his right.

At the same time, he shouted, "Who goes there? Come out here!"

After a loud explosion, the three cultivators revealed themselves.

The leading cultivator wore a golden robe and possessed late-stage Core Formation cultivation; a shield protected him.

The other two were both in the mid-stage of Core Formation; one was a male cultivator wearing a red robe, and the other was a female cultivator wearing a green dress.

The red-robed male cultivator looked at Li Shizhou and said, "Your spiritual sense is quite good. I will be your opponent in a moment."

The early-stage Core Formation cultivator from Jiyin Island, who had just been fighting the demonic beast, stopped moving at the same time as the level-six demonic beast and looked at the four people from Xinggong. It was obvious that the man and the beast had been acting.

The four members of the Star Palace knew that a fierce battle was inevitable, and they all silently unleashed their magical weapons.

The cultivators from both sides began to fight each other.

Two late-stage Core Formation cultivators used their magical treasures to attack each other.

The female cultivator in the green dress opposite Yuan Yao said sternly, "You vixen, so you've joined the Star Palace. Today I'll take your head and return to the sect to claim my reward from the patriarch."

After she finished speaking, a crimson chain was pulled towards Yuan Yao to bind her.

Just then, the opportunity information was updated.

[Daily Opportunity Information]

[Area: Thirty li]

[An: Shen Guyue, a Core Formation cultivator from the Qingyang Sect, has an egg-sized Void Stone in her storage bag. If you take it, you can use it to refine your natal magic weapon.]

[Danger: Yan Fang, a Core Formation cultivator from the Myriad Laws Sect, possesses an ancient treasure called the Thunder Pearl in his storage bag. Seizing it will greatly benefit your future efforts to kill demonic cultivators.]

Li Shizhou's eyes lit up when he saw the "Kongming Stone" in the information following the character "An".

This is exactly what he has been searching for for decades.

Not long after he formed his core, he killed an "Infant Carp Beast" and obtained the crafting methods for nearly a hundred magical treasures.

After careful consideration, he decided to forge one of the magical artifacts, known as the "Three Primordial Swords," as his natal magical artifact.

Once mastered, this sword will not only be an incredibly sharp flying sword, but it will also be able to unleash three great supernatural powers.

They are: "Shadowless", "Sword Rainbow", and "Hidden Edge".

When the "Shadowless" supernatural power is used, the flying sword not only conceals its tracks, but also makes a very faint sound as it cuts through the air. It can be said to kill people invisibly. However, it requires a high level of spiritual power, but this is precisely Ji Shizhou's strength. Once the sword is completed, it can be used.

The "Sword Rainbow" supernatural power allows him to become one with his sword when he flies away, making his flying speed comparable to that of a flying sword magic weapon. However, it requires extremely high physical strength. Li Shizhou estimates that he can use it when he cultivates the "Pure Yang Technique" to the seventh level. He is currently at the peak of the fifth level.

The final "Concealing the Edge" divine power involves nurturing the magic weapon within the body, allowing it to continuously accumulate power. Given enough time, it can unleash a strike that surpasses one's own cultivation level by a whole realm.

He had already prepared the other materials for crafting this magic weapon, but he only obtained a small piece of the "Void Stone" from the Star Palace, which was insufficient to complete the crafting of the magic weapon.

Since I've come across this today, I certainly can't miss it.

With a thought, Li Shizhou, enveloped in the miasma of the Hidden Dragon, charged towards the green-skirted female cultivator from the Qingyang Sect.
