"For example, there are some that consume a huge amount of magical power, require essence blood to activate, and each time they are used, their power is slightly diminished.
There are also those that have usage limit restrictions, which can only be used once or twice.
Some need a certain amount of time to recover their power after each use."
Hearing this, Chu Ning immediately thought of the black knife Old Man Sun used to kill that yellow-faced man earlier.
When he obtained the Blood Spot One-Horned Ape, he tried it once and found it could be used.
Although he hadn’t truly activated it, the thing gave him the sense of having great power.
Moreover, this item indeed required a period of time before it could be used again after being utilized.
Could this black knife be an Incomplete Magical Treasure?
Chu Ning felt that this judgment was highly possible.
Of course, at this moment, he naturally couldn’t take it out to ask for identification from the other party, so he didn’t speak further and followed the other party into the room.
"This is where our pavilion specifically stores advanced defensive magical artifacts. There aren’t many in number, and each has a corresponding introduction. Choose for yourself.
Once you’ve picked, I’ll help you retrieve it."
Entering the room, Elder Tong said to Chu Ning.
Then he sat down on a recliner inside the room, minding his own business.
Seeing this, Chu Ning approached the shelves lined with magical artifacts.
"Cyan Wood Shield, Wood Attribute Defense Magical Artifact, possesses the effect of defending against toxic gas."
"Fire Shield, Fire Attribute Defense Magical Artifact, protects against flames and can envelop the whole body."
"Earth Spirit Bead, Earth Attribute Defense Magical Artifact, can form an Earth Attribute Defense Shield once activated."
"Black Wind Armor, Earth Attribute Defense Magical Artifact..."
Chu Ning looked at each one and found that the shelves had various defensive magical artifacts of different attributes.
Among them, Earth Attribute ones were the most common.
Chu Ning wasn’t overly picky about this.
Although defensive magical artifacts have attributes, aside from a few with special requirements,
For most defensive magical artifacts, there are no attribute requirements for magical power.
So in Chu Ning’s view, they were all the same.
He hoped to find one with stronger defense capabilities among them.
After looking through about thirty of them, Chu Ning suddenly stopped in front of one artifact.
Earth Spirit Bracelet.
In front of Chu Ning now was a bracelet-type artifact, much wider than a typical bracelet, nearly 2 inches wide.
This 2-inch bracelet had small square holes, a total of ten of them.
When Chu Ning read the introduction of this bracelet, his eyes lit up.
"Earth Spirit Bracelet, Earth Attribute Advanced Artifact, can form an Earth Attribute Magical Shield over the whole body once activated.
Add Earth Spirit Crystals to provide spiritual energy, increasing defense capability. Each piece increases defense by 10%, up to 10 pieces can be used.
If 10 Earth Spirit Crystals are activated simultaneously, the defense capability can reach about 60% of top-level Earth Familiarity artifacts.
Once activated, the spiritual energy of the Earth Spirit Crystals on the bracelet will be completely exhausted."
He had Earth Spirit Crystals!
Previously, in the Blood Spot One-Horned Ape’s cave, Chu Ning had obtained a large piece of Earth Spirit Crystal.
Looking at the size of the ten square holes on this bracelet, even if he cut hundreds of pieces, his Earth Spirit Crystal supply would be more than sufficient.
"Elder, I have made my choice!"
Without much hesitation, Chu Ning voiced out.
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Elder Tong got up and walked over.
When he saw that Chu Ning had chosen the Earth Spirit Bracelet, he was a little surprised.
"This Earth Spirit Bracelet, while it does have decent defense capability, to truly unleash its power, it needs the help of Earth Spirit Crystals.
Otherwise, the power of this artifact doesn’t have an advantage over other artifacts."
Elder Tong said, shaking his head:
"But these Earth Spirit Crystals, even if you’re just placing one, will require quite a few Spirit Stones, and they’re not always available for purchase."
"Are you sure you want this one?"
Saying this, Elder Tong glanced at Chu Ning.
Chu Ning nodded slightly.
"Elder, I want this one, I can always spend some Spirit Stones to buy more Earth Spirit Crystals."
After speaking, Chu Ning smiled and added:
"If I lose my life, no amount of Spirit Stones will be of use."
"Your words are quite right."
As Elder Tong spoke, he took out a Restriction Token and directly removed the restriction,
"I used to have the same thought, that if life is gone, what’s the use of this cultivation?
That’s why I can stay here."
Elder Tong said as he took out the Earth Spirit Bracelet and handed it to Chu Ning.
"Here you go, with this advanced artifact, if you find Earth Spirit Crystals, you’ll indeed have an extra life-saving means when facing enemies."
"By the way, like the Spirit Crystal, Spirit Stones are extremely hard, but it’s easy to cut them with a Jade Saber.
If you obtain Spirit Crystals in the future, you can cut them into small pieces with a Jade Saber and insert them into this bracelet."
As he said this, Elder Tong gave Chu Ning a meaningful look.
Feeling the elder’s gaze, Chu Ning suddenly had a feeling of being seen through.
"Could it be that Elder Tong has guessed that I have Earth Spirit Crystals?"
Chu Ning muttered internally, but kept a calm exterior, expressing gratitude to Elder Tong with a cupped fist gesture:
"Thank you, Elder, for the information."
Elder Tong nodded slightly and then stepped towards the exit.
"Since you’ve made your choice, let’s be on our way."
Seeing how willing Elder Tong seemed to answer questions, Chu Ning thought for a bit and couldn’t help but ask:
"Elder, I wonder how one can exchange for more advanced cultivation techniques in the sect?"
"Cultivation Techniques?"
Elder Tong shook his head.
"The sect’s cultivation techniques aren’t available for exchange. When you cultivate to the ninth layer of Qi Refining, go find a steward or elder in the hall.
