: Sword Suyue

The closer you get, the more intense the chill emanating from the Xuanbing Jade Box becomes.

The chill pierced his bones like needles, and even with his internal strength, Nan Xu still felt the biting cold.

The sword intent emanating from the box was like an invisible blade hanging overhead, sending chills down one's spine. With each step closer, the sword intent grew sharper.

With the help of his powerful internal energy protecting him, Nan Xu finally arrived in front of the box.

He yanked open the box lid, revealing the full view of the precious sword inside.

The knife is about three feet and three inches long, with a plain white handle and a slender blade that is as clear and translucent as ice, only two fingers wide.

Nanxu slowly gripped the hilt of the knife, and then suddenly lifted it up!

"Buzz—"

A sharp whistling sound rang out, and fierce sword energy shot out and scattered from the blade. The hilt vibrated violently, almost slipping out of the hand!

Without a doubt, this was a test that the nameless swordsman had set up long ago.

To inherit his mantle and his treasured sword, one must conquer the sword intent he left in the sword beforehand!

Nan Xu remained expressionless, gripping the hilt of the sword with both hands, his inner energy rapidly circulating within his dantian and covering his hands.

"Stop...right now!"

Finally, under Nanxu's full-force suppression, the restless hilt of the sword quieted down.

But the next moment, the crystal-clear Xuanbing blade, under the rampage of the blade intent, made a soft "crack" sound.

With a series of "crackling" sounds, countless fine cracks appeared on the blade.

Finally, with a crisp "crack", the blade made of Xuanbing exploded into fragments all over the ground!

Fragments flew everywhere, but Nan Xu used his inner energy to protect himself in time, remaining completely unharmed.

He showed no regret on his face, because he had witnessed this scene in his previous life.

Nan Xu reached out and brushed away the remaining fine ice shards on the blade, carefully examining the precious sword.

From this moment on, the precious sword named Suyue officially revealed its true form.

This knife is carved from translucent white jade, clear and flawless, with a texture like ice and snow. The blade is as thin as a cicada's wing and only one foot long, seemingly made by breaking the blade in half and then sharpening it again.

Nan Xu held it up to his eyes to admire it. The blade gleamed with a silvery-white, cold light like a full moon. When he brought his hand close, he could feel wisps of cold air emanating from the blade.

【Su Yue】

[Type: Kitchenware/Weapon - Knife]

[Rank: Top Grade 4]

Attack Power: 261

[Special Effects:]

[The chilling aura preserves freshness. The chilling aura emanating from the blade can lock in the freshness of the ingredients, and with the help of true qi, it can even gradually restore their freshness.]

[Mystic Ice Forged Blade. If this blade is covered in mystic ice, the "Frostbite Relief" effect will be transferred to the mystic ice along with the frost, and its strength will be reduced or increased depending on the quality of the mystic ice.]

[Description: This knife is carved from Kunlun cold jade and nurtured in a mysterious ice jade box. It possesses the ability to cut through gold and iron, split mountains and shatter rocks. The cold aura emanating from the blade can seal the life force of food, and also seal the life force of an enemy.]

"What a fine knife!" Nanxu couldn't help but exclaim.

This knife is not only incredibly sharp, but also possesses extremely powerful effects.

As a chef, he certainly understands how important a kitchen utensil can seal in or even restore the freshness of ingredients.

Although those who have mastered the Frost Finger technique to higher levels can also achieve this, this cooking skill requires him to consume a lot of true energy to actively activate it, and the effect is not very good.

It's alright for some low-grade ingredients, but once you encounter high-grade ingredients that naturally generate spiritual energy, the loss of freshness is completely irreversible.

After all, it's only a seventh-grade cooking skill. When Nanxu used it to process sixth-grade mushroom pork, he already felt that he was not up to the task.

If higher-grade ingredients were used, it would probably be completely ineffective.

This Moonlit Sword is not only an automatic weapon that only requires the injection of true energy to take effect, but its effect is also several levels stronger than the Frostbite Finger.

Furthermore, this effect can be enhanced.

Since Xuanbing can conduct Suyue's cold energy, as long as a layer of Xuanbing of high quality is coated on Suyue's blade, the effect of the cold energy can be enhanced.

Even if the quality of the ice is insufficient, its ability to conduct cold air is still quite useful.

This means he can condense ice into a blade, use the ice to extend the blade's length, and achieve the effect of freely switching between long and short swords, adapting to a variety of different occasions.

What if you can't find enough Xuanbing?

Nan Xu was not worried about this problem at all; his gaze shifted to the Xuanbing Jade Box beside him.

【Mysterious Ice Jade Box】

[Rank: Top Grade 4]

[Category: Props/Kitchenware]

[Description: A jade box crafted from Xuanbing Jade can keep its contents frozen for thousands of years without decaying. If water is placed inside, the box's chilling aura will condense the water into Xuanbing, and the quality of the Xuanbing will gradually improve over time.]

Indeed, besides the Su Yue sword, the Xuanbing Jade Box containing the Su Yue sword is also a rare treasure.

It not only functions as a refrigerator, but also continuously produces ice crystals.

With the combined effect of Su Yue, he possessed almost an inexhaustible number of Xuanbing Blades!

Thinking of this, Nan Xu carefully collected the broken ice shards on the ground and placed them into the Xuanbing Jade Box to nurture them.

【Millennial Mystic Ice】

[Rank: Top Grade 4]

[Description: Born in a frigid land, formed over thousands of years by absorbing extreme cold spiritual energy, this solid ice cannot be broken by knives or axes, nor melted by boiling or roasting.]

These superior pieces of Xuanbing were transformed from ice blades formed from the water of a pool by Su Yue's former master, the nameless swordsman, before his death.

Over time, their quality has been elevated to an extraordinary level.

It's broken, but it can still be used after freezing. We can't just waste it like this.

The newly formed ice, though hard and difficult to melt, is sufficient for making blades, but its efficiency in conducting cold air is definitely much lower.

After cleaning up the broken ice, Nan Xu did not rush to the next step.

He now seems to have mastered the Suyue sword in his hand, but he knows that the sword has only temporarily fallen silent.

If you want to use it yourself, or take it away from here, then the same thing will happen as before.

The radiating sword energy could even cleave through solid, thousand-year-old ice; it was definitely not an option to take it out like that.

Even the Xuanbing Jade Box is in a similar situation.

He must completely conquer this blade's intent before he is qualified to become the successor of the nameless swordsman.

The method to conquer the sword intent had long been in his hands.

Nan Xu, holding a plain white dagger, arrived at the cold pool in the center of the cave.

The pool was so deep that the bottom could not be seen, but with enhanced eyesight, several blind fish with silvery-white bodies could be vaguely seen swimming in it.

He had already mastered the swordsmanship.

Next... let him try to dissect this white fish from the cold pool!
