Chapter 295 - Midnight Spirit Ship

“Killing two Soul Fusion Realm Experts in one move, announcing such an achievement could scare someone to death!”

It must be noted that Lin Xuan is merely a Half-step Melt Spirit Realm Expert.

Of course, this achievement could not be replicated.

First, Lin Xuan possessed an incredibly strong physique, almost comparable to that of a Soul Fusion Realm, and he also wielded the Gale Chasing Lightning Sword, a martial arts inheritance that surpassed Earth Rank Martial Arts.

Additionally, Elder Lu and his companion were first struck by lightning, suffering severe injuries, and were then poisoned, rendering them unable to exert even thirty percent of their strength.

Under these circumstances, Lin Xuan was able to slay the two Soul Fusion Realm Experts.

But Lin Xuan did not let victory cloud his mind; he was very clear that under normal circumstances, killing a Melt Spirit Realm Martial Artist would be very difficult.

However, now, he was absolutely confident in facing Lin Feng in a battle.

Two hours later, Lin Xuan had recovered, returning to his peak condition.

The Thunder Pattern on his body disappeared, and he reverted to his normal state, appearing like a handsome young man.

However, once this youth went mad, even Soul Fusion Realm Martial Artists would fall.

Lin Xuan took out a black ring, carved with ancient patterns and emitting a faint light.

This Storage Ring was obtained from Elder Lu.

The ring from Elder Wang was shattered by the power of the Gale Chasing Lightning Sword, damaging its internal space and everything within it was lost.

“What a pity!” Lin Xuan exclaimed, visibly distressed, for a Melt Spirit Realm expert’s Storage Ring was indeed a treasure.

He exhaled deeply and let his Soul Power probe into the Storage Ring.

Then, his heart was filled with ecstasy.

Lin Xuan had been mentally prepared, but what he found inside still left him greatly shocked.

Dozens of boxes of Spirit Stones, all Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, a large number of Xuan-grade treasures, and several dozen Martial Arts Secret Manuals—it was like a small treasury!

Lin Xuan calculated, and the items inside were worth more than everything he had obtained from others before.

“This old guy was really loaded!” Lin Xuan was in a great mood.

He stored away the Storage Ring and took out a map to quickly locate a nearby ferry crossing.

Now, the most important thing was to leave Heavenly Mountain Country.

He flickered and disappeared from the spot.

Yin Xuan River, winding nine bends and eighteen turns across the majority of Heavenly Mountain Country, Lin Xuan followed the map to a hidden ferry crossing.

According to the map, this ferry would be available once every seven days, each time at midnight.

Lin Xuan was not in a hurry, he sat down cross-legged, contemplating the Gale Chasing Lightning Sword while waiting.

Two days later, on a dark windy night, a chilling breeze swept over Yin Xuan River, causing tremors in one’s soul.

Lin Xuan felt a mysterious aura and became uneasy.

He stopped contemplating and stood up cautiously, looking in all directions.

When midnight arrived, ripples suddenly appeared on the river’s surface, and a dark shadow swiftly approached the shore.

Lin Xuan’s gaze flickered as he looked forward.

He saw a small boat approaching, with a ferryman in white clothes standing on it; his face pale and unnatural.

And the small boat was especially odd, being made of paper.

This sight, in the middle of the night, inevitably seemed eerie and frightening.

Lin Xuan’s scalp tingled, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

“Cross the river?” the boat stopped at the shore, and the pale-faced ferryman asked in a deep voice.

His voice was stiff, like a puppet’s, not at all like a normal person’s.

However, Lin Xuan had no other choice; he needed to leave this place quickly and this was the only available option.

“Yes,” replied Lin Xuan.

“Crossing fee, one Dark-grade advanced treasure,” the ferryman slowly said.

“What?

A Dark-grade advanced treasure?” Lin Xuan checked his ears, making sure he hadn’t misheard.

A high-grade Xuan-tier treasure was not cheap; even the Autumn Trace Sword he used was just a mid-grade Xuan-tier treasure, which he had gone to great lengths to acquire.

“Damn, that’s daylight robbery!” Lin Xuan muttered, fortunate that his wealth was substantial and that he had obtained Elder Lu’s Storage Ring, otherwise just the ferry fee would have hurt him financially for a while.

Lin Xuan took out a Dark-grade advanced treasure saber from his Storage Ring and handed it over.

The boatman in white accepted the treasure saber and slowly said, “Please get on the boat.”

Lin Xuan cautiously boarded the boat and then realized that the boatman’s clothes were also made of paper.

However, what reassured him was that the paper boat wobbled but did not sink.

The white-clad boatman paddled, and the small boat moved swiftly forward.

“Stop looking, the boat won’t sink!” Lord of Wine laughed, “There is an Array enchanting it, it’s not as fragile as you think.”

“Array enchantment?” Lin Xuan grew more curious.

Which power would engage in such a business?

“Hey, how long will it take to get there?”

“It’s uncertain,” the boatman replied mechanically.

Afterward, Lin Xuan asked a few more questions but then lost interest.

The boatman was like a block of wood, having limited knowledge, and Lin Xuan could not get much out of him.

With nothing else to do, Lin Xuan could only sit and cultivate.

The only relief was that three days passed peacefully.

On the midnight of the third day, the small boat reached the shore.

Lin Xuan disembarked and left without looking back.

He only slowed his pace once he was well away from the Yin Xuan River.

He took out a map and compared it meticulously.

He was now in Eagle Country.

Crossing Eagle Country would take him to Rain Country; Xia Country was adjacent to Rain Country.

He summoned Little Gold, found the right direction, and proceeded swiftly.

Two months later, Lin Xuan arrived in Rain Country.

During this period, he had thoroughly solidified his Silver Thunder Pattern, and he had completely mastered the First Sword of the Gale Chasing Lightning Sword.

Additionally, he had grasped seventy percent of the Wind Emperor’s Sword and learned up to the Sixth Sword of the Green Cloud Sword Technique.

Moreover, his Sword Intent had reached the peak of forty percent.

He took out the Sword Intent Treasure Box, his eyes sparkling.

“With the Copper Thunder Body, I could only crack it open a sliver.

Now that I have mastered the Silver Thunder Pattern, I wonder how much I can open the Sword Intent Treasure Box?”

Lin Xuan had an idea.

He decided to enhance his Sword Intent again.

Finding a secluded valley, he recalled Little Gold and set up a Defense Array.

With everything ready, Lin Xuan took out the Sword Intent Treasure Box.

Buzz!

Buzz!

The air vibrated, and silver thunder patterns surfaced on Lin Xuan’s body, resembling Silver Battle Armor.

With the Silver Thunder Pattern, his confidence surged.

He applied force with his palm, and the Sword Intent Treasure Box slowly opened.

A fierce Sword Intent spread from the box, as if it could pierce through anything.

Lin Xuan’s body’s thunder patterns flowed, resisting the terrifying Sword Intent.

The box slowly opened to one-third.

The last time at this point, Lin Xuan’s body had already shown terrifying cracks, and the Copper Thunder Pattern couldn’t hold up.

But now, although it was painful, he was completely able to cope.

From this, it was evident that the Silver Thunder Body was more than twice as powerful as the Copper Thunder Body.

Holding the Treasure Box, Lin Xuan immersed himself in comprehending the Sword Intent.

Inside, the Great Dragon Sword Intent thundered, continuously absorbing and growing.

Half a day later, Lin Xuan had completely comprehended this one-third, but his Sword Intent had not improved.

However, compared to half a day earlier, his Sword Intent had grown much stronger.

“Again!” Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and once more widened the gap of the Treasure Box.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Fine Sword Qi appeared in the air, the force of which was comparable to an attack from a Soul Fusion Realm Expert, immensely powerful.
