Chapter 32: Clear Lotus Spiritual Tea
After the heat dissipated significantly, Liu Yu let out a light breath, and the unusual sensations in his body gradually calmed down.
He stored the more than five hundred spiritual stones into his storage pouch and used his spiritual consciousness to take stock.
Now, his storage pouch contained an additional one thousand three hundred low-grade spiritual stones and one medium-grade spiritual stone.
For a qi refinement stage cultivator, this was undoubtedly a huge fortune.
Even for foundation establishment stage cultivators with less wealth, it was about the same amount, nearly enough to purchase two slightly lower quality supreme magical artifacts.
However, most of these spiritual stones were not suitable for public display.
Some came from the elixirs refined from spiritual herbs that were hastily matured in the Immortal Abode, while others were spoils taken from the scholar robed cultivator, all of which could not withstand close scrutiny.
This was far from the kind of wealth a novice alchemist or outer sect disciple could possess.
If Liu Yu's wealth were discovered, it was likely that some foundation establishment stage cultivators would become envious and harbor thoughts of murder and treasure theft.
Liu Yu put away the low-grade magical artifact, a silver small ruler, and a yellow small fork, into his commonly used storage pouch.
He also organized the magical artifacts, talismans, and several bottles of elixirs that restore injuries and magical power, placing them neatly in the same pouch to ensure he could find them at a moment's notice.
A few miscellaneous items were stored in the pouch obtained from the scholar robed cultivator, kept in a hidden compartment in his cave dwelling, to be taken out for use when necessary.
The blue small knife and a piece of red satin, which were already unusable magical artifacts, along with some other unnecessary items, were placed in the pouch from the charming female cultivator.
He would handle these items when the time was right.
Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the stone bed, lifting the oval small mirror in his hand, slowly injecting magical power into it to begin the refining process.
After a quarter of an hour, the initial stage of refining was complete.
With a movement of his consciousness, he directed a slightly more powerful spiritual consciousness than that of an ordinary late stage of qi refinement cultivator into the small mirror.
He began to expel the spiritual consciousness mark left by the scholar robed cultivator and imprint his own spiritual consciousness mark.
Everything was completed in an orderly manner, and after about another quarter of an hour, the refining of the oval small mirror was finished.
Liu Yu clapped his storage pouch to take out the Golden Dragon Sword, manipulating it to float two to three zhang in front of him.
Then, holding the oval small mirror, he aimed its surface at the Golden Dragon Sword and infused it with magical power to project a faint white light onto the sword's body.
The Golden Dragon Sword itself was not harmed, but he could feel that its internal magical power operation immediately slowed down.
At the same time, its spiritual light dimmed somewhat, diminishing its power to the level of a medium-grade magical artifact.
After experimenting for a while, Liu Yu discovered that the white light emitted by the oval small mirror could interfere with the internal magical power operation of magical artifacts.
Even high-grade magical artifacts were not exceptions, but he was unsure whether this white light would have an effect on supreme magical artifacts.
However, Liu Yu speculated that it should also affect supreme magical artifacts, as the difference between high-grade and supreme magical artifacts is mainly in material quality and slightly higher power, with no essential difference.
The only regret was that this white light had to continuously shine on the magical artifact's body to be effective, and to maintain the white light, he had to use one hand to continuously infuse magical power.
