Su Han had many spoils of war in his hands, but their quality left something to be desired.
The repair of the Sword Nurturing Gourd required Sun and Moon Companion Crystal-level treasures, while the repair of the Dragon Slaying Divine Spear required the absorption of Emperor Gold. Both of these were Emperor Level treasures, and with Su Han’s current capabilities, unless he sold the Pan Peach Immortality Medicine, there was simply no way to acquire these treasures.
However, Su Han was not in a hurry; whether it was the Sword Nurturing Gourd or the Dragon Slaying Divine Spear, they were both unexpected bonuses. It would be nice to have them, but there was no need to force it if not.
If the opportunity presented itself, he would naturally try to repair them; if not, he had no plan to forcibly do so.
"The eighty-one opportunity sites, which one should I visit next?"
Su Han settled the Mountain Soul and then soared into the sky, leaving Myriad Sword Mountain.
This time he planned to explore several more opportunity sites. Even if he couldn’t explore all of them, he aimed to explore most of them.
Who knows, with his fortunate Destiny, maybe he would come across opportunities like the Sword Nurturing Gourd and the Mountain Soul!
"I suggest you go to the Sword Cleansing Pool first!"
In the sea of awareness, the Mountain Soul offered its opinion. Although it had never left Myriad Sword Mountain, having lived a long life, it knew more than others.
"The Sword Cleansing Pool contains Sacred Sword Cleansing Liquid, specifically used to refine Sword Intent. It was once a treasured land of the Myriad Swords Sect. Not only can you place a treasured sword inside for refinement, but you can also immerse your entire body to refine your Sword Intent."
"Your Sword Intent has just reached Perfection and needs proper consolidation. Going to the Sword Cleansing Pool could refine impurities and save your honing time."
The Mountain Soul’s introduction made Su Han somewhat tempted.
He was familiar with the Sacred Sword Cleansing Liquid. One of the compensations from Nanshu Jian Gong was this liquid, which he had used to elevate his Slaughter Sword Intent to the Great Accomplishment realm.
Sacred Sword Cleansing Liquid only forms in places where there are large numbers of Sword Cultivators and the Sword Intent is strong. Nanshu Jian Gong could only produce one drop every ten years. However, compared to the Myriad Swords Sect, Nanshu Jian Gong was insignificant, like an ant versus an elephant.
Nanshu Jian Gong had Sacred Sword Cleansing Liquid, so naturally, the Myriad Swords Sect did too, and not just a few drops, but an entire pool.
"Let’s go to the Sword Cleansing Pool!"
Su Han took the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince and headed towards the Sword Cleansing Pool.
In the entire Myriad Virtual Realm, only Su Han, the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince, and the Flying Immortal Great Emperor were present, making it seem very vacant. The advantage was that the opportunities here were theirs for the taking.
Soon, Su Han saw the Sword Cleansing Pool. The familiar aura of the Sacred Sword Cleansing Liquid intoxicated him, but the scale of the pool before him left him shocked.
"You call this a pool?"
Su Han was stunned. Before him lay a lake spanning a thousand meters. Though it could be considered a small lake, this was far beyond just a pool!
The water in the lake rippled with a clear blue, reflecting the sky, resembling a blue crystal inlaid on the earth.
The compensation given by Nanshu Jian Gong to Su Han had been merely fifty drops of Sacred Sword Cleansing Liquid. Yet before him now lay not just fifty thousand drops.
Unfortunately, the Myriad Virtual Realm was special; only the Emperor or Crown Prince of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty could enter, and over the years, Su Han had been the only exception. Of course, his initial entry was due to the Flying Immortal Great Emperor searching for a Demonic Embryo for the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince.
No one had entered since, and combined with the dense Sword Intent here, the amount of Sacred Sword Cleansing Liquid was abundant.
"First, I’ll take some for Li Qingyue!"
It would be foolish not to take treasure. Su Han took a Purple Gold Jade Vase from within the Bronze Ring and directly threw it into the Sword Cleansing Pool, filling it to the brim with Sacred Sword Cleansing Liquid.
That was not enough. He continued to take out jade vases and filled ten with Sacred Sword Cleansing Liquid before stopping.
"Poverty has limited my imagination. The opportunities here are vast, and since the Flying Immortal Great Emperor no longer values them, they now all belong to me!"
Su Han wished he could retreat here to cultivate until he reached the Great Emperor Realm before going back out.
"I wonder if the Sword Nurturing Gourd would be of use!"
Thinking it over, Su Han took out the Sword Nurturing Gourd and tossed it into the Sword Cleansing Pool. Sadly, the Sword Nurturing Gourd was not an ordinary treasure, and while Sacred Sword Cleansing Liquid was good, it had no effect on the gourd, so Su Han regretfully retrieved it.
"Let’s begin the refining!"
Su Han ceased further attempts and took a step forward, leaping into the Sword Cleansing Pool, immersing himself entirely in the Sacred Sword Cleansing Liquid.
At this moment, he submerged his head beneath the liquid, entirely engulfed by it. A powerful pressure of Sword Intent enveloped him as though it might crush him to bits.
"Sword of Slaughter!"
Su Han activated his Sword Intent, instantly materializing a blood-red Sword of Slaughter. The moment it appeared, the entire Sword Cleansing Pool trembled. The water surged and roiled as though it might metamorphose into a tsunami.
The Slaughter Sword Intent was too powerful and had already reached the Perfected Realm. Now, it turned the blue lake water into a faint red, as if suffused with blood, a sight to behold.
Su Han calmed his mind and guided the Sacred Sword Cleansing Liquid to refine his Sword of Slaughter.
Though the Sword of Slaughter had already become tangible, it still had some instability, but through this refining session, Su Han believed his Sword of Slaughter would be flawless, without any hidden threats.
"Sword Intent of Ages!"
Su Han invoked the Number Secret, simultaneously activating the Sword Intent of Ages. Though this intent had not yet taken form, it could still undergo refinement, becoming purer.
Three days later, Su Han emerged from the Sword Cleansing Pool.
"It’s great not worrying about consumption!"
Su Han had never felt so wealthy. He lost count of how many drops of Sacred Sword Cleansing Liquid he expended; there were likely around a thousand or eight hundred. Even after filling ten Purple Gold Jade Vases earlier, the pool’s water level had barely decreased, leaving a significant amount still.
This refining consolidated Su Han’s Slaughter Sword Intent entirely, with an added layer of icy glint, finely honed to perfection.
Moreover, Su Han’s Sword Intent of Ages was also significantly bolstered, more condensed and razor-sharp than before.
"This Myriad Virtual Realm truly is the supreme holy land in the hearts of countless Sword Cultivators. Even though I’m not purely a Sword Cultivator, I’ve gained significantly. Pure Sword Cultivators entering here would undoubtedly reap even more."
Just one Sword Cleansing Pool could drive countless people outside mad, and this place had eighty-one such opportunity sites. Even in ordinary places, the dense Sword Intent made it a paradise for Sword Cultivators.
Feeling the richness of the Myriad Virtual Realm, Su Han was extremely grateful he hadn’t allowed the Mysterious Great Sword Saint to succeed, or else he could have achieved Path Enlightenment and become an emperor here, which would have been troubling.
Now that the Flying Immortal Great Emperor had gone to Ascension Cliff and seldom left, and with the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince under his control, the opportunities here were Su Han’s for the taking.
Such a golden opportunity, Su Han was naturally not willing to miss.
"Onto the next opportunity site!"
Leaving the Sword Cleansing Pool, Su Han eagerly proceeded towards the next opportunity site.
