“Heh, this is likely another new experimental product from some big company. She says she’s a graduate of the Sea Sword Junior Sect.”
“I don’t know if a member of the Spirit Race has ever attended a Junior Sect, but the Sea Sword Junior Sect is a Junior Sect under the Spirit Sword Void.”
“The Spirit Sword Void is famous for weapon refining, and performing enlightenment for divine treasures is one of the main businesses of their subsidiary, the Sword Spirit Company,” Shangguan Yun said with a smile.
“Is it by sealing the souls of demonic beasts into divine treasures to create artifact spirits?” Mu Yanxi asked.
In her past life, if a cultivator wanted to artificially create an artifact spirit for a divine treasure, they would usually capture a demonic beast, extract and refine its soul, and then seal it into the divine treasure.
The drawback of this method was that a demonic beast’s soul wasn’t a soul naturally birthed by a divine artifact.
Furthermore, they hated their masters for what was done to them in life. Compared to true artifact spirits created through various strokes of luck, they couldn’t achieve perfect synchronicity or the union of sword and heart.
However, there were advantages. The divine treasure could use some of the divine abilities the demonic beast possessed in life, greatly increasing its power.
Sometimes, a demonic beast’s soul would be sealed as an artifact spirit specifically for its innate talent or divine ability, making the divine treasure nothing more than a vessel.
“Sealing demonic beast souls as artifact spirits is just one of their services. The souls of other races are also options. They also offer services like direct enlightenment to let divine treasures naturally produce artifact spirits and the cultivation of the Spirit Race,” Shangguan Yun said.
Mu Yanxi checked her immortal brain and found it was true. The Sword Spirit Company’s official portal was covered in various advertisements.
They could not only use artificial intervention to make divine treasures produce artifact spirits, but they could do the same for divine artifacts as well.
Similarly, the souls sealed as artifact spirits weren’t limited to demonic beasts. They could use souls from the Dragon Race, Heavenly Race, or Demon Race — they could even use the souls of the Human Race!
‘Isn’t this purely the behavior of a demonic cultivator?’ Yanxi had never even heard of using human souls to seal artifact spirits in her previous life.
The Sword Spirit Company even offered a service to seal several different demonic beast souls into a single divine treasure, and they could even fuse those souls into a single composite artifact spirit.
Such methods were more than just unheard of; they were unimaginable. Not to mention, they could even cultivate members of the Spirit Race.
Looking at the company’s advertisements on the Dao web, the technology for cultivating the Spirit Race was already quite mature.
They could even customize the gender and appearance of the Spirit Race member transformed from the divine treasure.
“That’s strange. If the technology for cultivating the Spirit Race is already so mature, why would they send a member of the Spirit Race to the Spiritual Moon Sect? Why not just send her to the Spirit Sword Great Sect, which they’re directly affiliated with?” Mu Yanxi was somewhat puzzled.
“What’s strange about that? Who wouldn’t want their artifact spirit to be cultivated into a gentle and virtuous beauty who can also provide double cultivation services to her master?”
“Every year, the Spiritual Moon Sect and the Junior Sect accept quite a few members of the Spirit Race,” Shangguan Yun said.
Mu Yanxi was speechless. Engaging in double cultivation with a member of the Spirit Race transformed from one’s own divine treasure — only the cultivators of this Interstellar Realm could come up with such a thing.
They even cultivated spirit beasts for double cultivation. ‘Can literally anything be used for double cultivation?’
“Then why did you just say that Hai Lingxue is a new experimental product of the company? Didn’t you say the Spiritual Moon Junior Sect and the Great Sect accept many members of the Spirit Race every year?” Mu Yanxi asked, confused.
“She really is special. Ignore the critical attitude she’s putting on for a moment. Her etiquette is actually quite proper. Did you notice?” Shangguan Yun asked.
“I did,” Mu Yanxi nodded. When she had wondered earlier why there were so many young ladies in the Spiritual Moon Sect, that thought had included Hai Lingxue.
“Setting aside how an artifact spirit could even be taught etiquette, those manners of hers are actually the manners of Young Masters. And they’re instinctive,” Shangguan Yun said with a laugh.
“What? She used to be a man?!” Mu Yanxi asked in shock.
