Chapter 225 Sacred Relic: Ancient Rock
On the cliff where Xu Ning and Ningguang had just appeared, at the teleportation point.
Zhongli stood tall with his hands behind his back in the fierce cold wind, his golden eyes staring at Xu Ning's hand holding the stone sword as if they could see through space.
In just a short while, the stone sword was trembling to the point that even Xu Ning could hardly control it.
It was at this moment that Xu Ning suddenly had a sudden realization.
If he were to let go now, he feared he would never see the true face of this sword again in this lifetime.
So even though the vibrations from the sword hilt had begun to spread from his palms to his entire body, Xu Ning still gritted his teeth and gripped the sword hilt tightly, not daring to relax even a little.
"what happened?"
Ningguang was waiting for Xu Ning to pull out the stone sword, but after a while, Xu Ning not only did not pull out the sword, but also began to tremble all over, just like the trembling sword.
Seeing that things were not going well, Ningguang immediately reached out to pull Xu Ning away.
"Don't……"
Xu Ning managed to utter a single word through gritted teeth, and then could no longer utter a sound.
The tremors of the sword had caused his bones and muscles to vibrate as well. Xu Ning could almost hear the cracking of his flexible bones as they vibrated, as if they were about to break one by one.
Meanwhile, the muscles and skin inside the body trembled, like a twisted rubber band, involuntarily tightening and becoming incredibly sore.
As the vibrations gradually reached his head, Xu Ning felt as if his consciousness was about to blur, with only one thing firmly etched in his mind.
It means never letting go.
His persistence was not without reason.
As the sword vibrated more intensely, the moss on the outer layer of the stone sword, along with flakes of dust, kept peeling off the sword.
A wisp of golden light slowly emanated from the sword.
In just a moment, it was completely radiant with golden light, dazzling to the extreme.
"Qiang~"
A long, drawn-out sword cry echoed throughout Qingxupu.
A straight-bladed sword bearing what appeared to be a Rock God's mark appeared in Xu Ning's hand.
Xu Ning forced himself to examine the long sword in his hand.
He knew in his heart that rather than saying he drew the sword, it was more accurate to say that he had withstood the test of the longsword, which led it to willingly jump into his hand.
After flashing a few times, the golden light on the longsword retracted completely into the blade.
Aside from the dark golden sheen flowing across the blade, the spine and hilt of the entire knife turned a deep color.
Divine things conceal themselves, their brilliance hidden within.
Xu Ning casually placed the Dust Concealment Gourd on the spot, then reached out to Ning Guang with a wry smile and said, "Help me inside to rest for a bit, I can't hold on much longer."
Ningguang hurriedly stepped forward, put Xu Ning's arm on her shoulder, and put her arm around his waist.
It was only then that Ningguang realized what kind of torture Xu Ning had just endured.
When she touched Xu Ning's arm, she realized that Xu Ning's arm felt as if it had been broken into dozens of pieces, and the whole thing was limp.
As soon as the two entered the Dust-Hidden Cave, Ningguang immediately helped Xu Ning lie down on the spot, letting him lean against her.
Qingyi had been watching what was happening outside for almost the entire time. When she saw the two of them come in, she carried a jar of wine from the "Immortal Brew" shop and placed it next to Ningguang.
"Giving him some wine can help him recover quickly."
Ningguang quickly poured a bowl, handed it to Xu Ning's mouth, and slowly fed him the drink.
"Phew, I feel much more comfortable."
Xu Ning smiled apologetically at Ning Guang, "I'm going to take a nap."
Ningguang smiled gently, "Sleep peacefully, I'll watch over you."
With a wave of her hand, Ningguang conjured four swirling screens around the two of them, gently blocking the flowing wind from entering the cave.
Xu Ning slept in the cave for three days straight.
He only woke up twice during that time, drank some immortal wine, and then, on the grounds that he couldn't move, was served a urination by the shy and timid Ningguang.
Three days later, Xu Ning was able to move around slowly with Ning Guang's help.
Only then did Xu Ning remember the magnificent treasure chest he had left in the cave.
With Ningguang's help, Xu Ning walked to the treasure chest and kicked the lid open.
The clinking sounds of Mora and magic crystals colliding were incessant, and golden Mora and purple magic crystals gushed out of the box almost like a small fountain.
Were the ancestors of Liyue really that wealthy?
It would take most of the day just to pick them all up!
Xu Ning walked to the box and was surprised to find a flat box inside decorated with rock-patterned gold ornaments.
"What could be inside? But I seem to have seen a box like this before."
As Xu Ning was pondering, Ning Guang reached out and took out the box, helped Xu Ning sit down at the dining table, and then opened the box.
"I knew it looked familiar; it really does contain a relic."
When Xu Ning was at the old site of the Guhua School, he took out a box similar to this from a box that was "left for those destined to meet".
He obtained a complete set of "warrior" relics from it.
Although he occasionally found some artifacts in battles and treasure chests, Xu Ning felt that the Warrior class was still very suitable for him, so he never considered changing it.
However, a series of dazzling golden lights flashed in the box in front of him, and Xu Ning finally had the idea of replacing the "martial artist".
Inside is a complete set of "Ancient Rock" relics.
"Achievement Completed: Mythical Treasure - Obtain a set of five-star artifacts."
"Offering to Dionysus upgraded by one level: Increases stamina by eight points and grants twenty Wine Seals."
Qingyi, who had been coldly observing Xu Ning and Ningguang feeding each other dog food for three days in this cave, finally seized the opportunity to make her presence known.
A powerful, mature female voice echoed throughout the space.
A god who had fallen asleep drunk by the spring rubbed his ears, muttered "So noisy," picked up the half-eaten apple that had fallen to the side, took a couple of bites, and then gradually fell asleep again.
However, Belial, who had come out to visit Xu Ning a couple of days ago and spent two days studying the long sword that Xu Ning had drawn, pushed open the door after hearing the sound and returned the long sword to Xu Ning.
"What do you think of this knife?"
Since Belial changed into a woman's body, Xu Ning felt that he could no longer speak as casually as he did when he first met Belial.
However, Belial was naturally somewhat indifferent and did not notice any difference in Xu Ning's attitude towards her, simply continuing to do what she liked.
Upon hearing Xu Ning's question, he replied, "Sturdy and sharp."
"The blade seems to be imbued with some kind of divinity. Unless one possesses power exceeding that of the owner of these divine powers, it is impossible to damage this blade even a fraction of its strength."
“Moreover,” Belial pointed to the sword case on his shoulder, “it cannot even be contaminated by the poison of decay.”
Xu Ning smiled wryly and said, "What kind of experiments have you done with this knife? And why are you carrying the Corruption Sword on your back? Are you going to take it out with you?"
