Chapter 74: Neither-Thought-Nor-Non-Thought Sword Scabbard

Got it!

This time he actually grabbed something solid, instead of his hand passing through empty space and coming back with nothing, so there was no punishment either.

He opened his eyes and saw that the treasure hidden inside this red copper pillar had indeed been taken out by Ye Rong. It was exactly the sword scabbard in his hand that could form and disappear at will.

Ye Rong had actually met the requirements to take the treasure on his last try at the Heavenly Gang Treasure Copper Pillars, and smoothly took out this sword scabbard.

“Huh? How did this sword scabbard suddenly change shape? And it’s already appraised!”

Holding it in his hand, it felt like a cloud, vague and unreal, as it transformed from a sword scabbard into a sword case.

Neither-Thought-Nor-Non-Thought Sword Case, an ancient Sword Immortal’s relic. It could hold two flying swords inside. It was a special type of equipment with no level requirement. After equipping, it would bind to the player, occupying one weapon slot and could not be changed, dropped, or discarded. It increased flying speed by 300. Flying swords placed inside would have their required level reduced by 5.

“Wow, isn’t this similar to the equipment Windlike Man carries on his back, that Blue Flower Sword Case? Then I can also use two flying swords before level 50? Hmm… But I need to get another flying sword first.”

Ye Rong was so excited he was almost babbling. Getting the treasure from the last treasure copper pillar, and it being such a strange item, made him lose his composure.

The meaning of the Neither-Thought-Nor-Non-Thought Sword Case was that it directly gave the player an extra weapon slot. This was especially unusual when everyone could only use one flying sword before level 50. Particularly for a player like Ye Rong, who specialized in flying swords and whose main strength lay in a single flying sword. As long as he could equip another flying sword of third-rank or higher, he wouldn’t be afraid to fight monsters over ten levels higher than him.

The Twin Sword Style was even more important for Ye Rong than for other players. If others could unleash double the attack power, he could unleash ten times the attack power.

The other property, reducing the required level by 5, was also very good. Especially later on when leveling up once could take one or two months, this 5-level difference might let you equip a high-rank flying sword months earlier.

As for the +300 flying speed, that was the point Ye Rong cared about the least. Maybe his speed would get a big boost for a while, but after some game time, +300 flying speed wouldn’t be that great and wouldn’t give a huge advantage.

Almost without any hesitation, Ye Rong equipped the Neither-Thought-Nor-Non-Thought Sword Case, confirming it was bound to him.

Ever since Windlike Man became famous after his battle with Emei, sword cases that could hold an extra flying sword became extremely sought after, called the ultimate PK tool. Many wealthy players had already offered high prices to buy such sword cases, accepting any that were available.

But so far, while there were a few sword cases that increased flying speed, aside from the Blue Flower Sword Case, no second sword case that could hold two flying swords had appeared, creating a situation where there was demand but no supply.

Ye Rong knew that if he just put the Neither-Thought-Nor-Non-Thought Sword Case up for auction, countless people would want to bid, and it could likely sell for a sky-high price that would shock him. After all, with the huge player base of Far Shore, there were definitely plenty of rich people. But he felt that keeping this item himself could create even greater benefits.

Just like those previously impossible quests, he could slowly start trying them now.

Under such a positive cycle, it would definitely make his strength improve rapidly, allowing him to gain benefits several times or even dozens of times greater than directly auctioning the Neither-Thought-Nor-Non-Thought Sword Case.

After equipping the Neither-Thought-Nor-Non-Thought Sword Case, an indistinct sword case appeared on Ye Rong’s back. It seemed to have many layers of illusion covering it, making it impossible to see its true form.

Ye Rong inserted the Taixuan Ice Soul Sword into the sword case. The flying sword made a “buzzing” vibrating sound. He checked and sure enough, his flying speed had increased by 300.

“It seems my top priority now has become finding a suitable flying sword.”

Ye Rong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had originally planned to sell the Taixuan Ice Soul Sword for profit once he found a better flying sword. But with the Neither-Thought-Nor-Non-Thought Sword Case, that plan wouldn’t work. Without two flying swords equipped, the sword case’s purpose would be wasted, which would be a huge loss.

In fact, if he wanted convenient messaging, he might even need to keep a third flying sword as a tool for sending Flying Sword Messages.

“Messaging would require at least a third-rank flying sword. If you used a first-rank flying sword with its slow speed, it would have no value for communication. That means I’m actually short two third-rank flying swords now.”

Ye Rong’s gaze toward the other thirty-five treasure copper pillars grew even more intense. Nine of these pillars contained flying swords as their treasures.

The most special one was in the pillar next to the one that held the Neither-Thought-Nor-Non-Thought Sword Case. This treasure copper pillar contained an emerald flying sword that radiated endless vibrant life energy. The wooden tray displaying this flying sword was actually taking root and sprouting, growing fresh green buds.

Just the energy radiating from it had such powerful transformative effects. The rank of this emerald flying sword was probably extremely high, beyond Ye Rong’s ability to guess since he had nothing to compare it to.

After obtaining the Neither-Thought-Nor-Non-Thought Sword Case, there was nothing else in the golden hall that Ye Rong could take.

After looking around reluctantly one more time, he took out the Heavenly Horse Stone Monument, spun it, and transported himself out of the Golden Cabinet Water Manor.

This space was over a hundred meters high, connected to the outside only through a Water Eye that you had to crouch to pass through, making entry and exit very inconvenient.

Of course, Ye Rong had no intention of remodeling it. Before he had the strength to protect the Golden Cabinet Water Manor, it was better to let it remain hidden here.

“If they knew I just casually came down for a look and found the Golden Cabinet Water Manor, Ethereal Green Robe and the others would probably go crazy with anger. Let them keep slowly grinding monsters and searching here. Tomorrow I need to help Dongliu Cangshui and the others kill the Iron-Armed Battle Ape.”

Thinking this, Ye Rong rushed out of the Tuo River and flew toward Mount Qingcheng. He still needed to send a message to ask Dongliu Cangshui about the specific arrangements for tomorrow. Last time he was careless about this and nearly suffered a big loss from the Iron-Armed Battle Ape. If he had died once, that would have been miserable.

“As for those Rogue Cultivator’s Remains… When Ethereal Green Robe spends a lot of time but still can’t find any trace of the Golden Cabinet Water Manor, he’ll definitely lose interest in them. By then, I can find an excuse to buy the remains from him, probably without paying much.”
