Chasing cloud dagger

Zheng Qingfang took the box. He opened it and revealed a dagger within. “This a dagger bestowed to me by King Tang during my early years.”

King Tang was the king of Tang Country.

This dagger looked extremely gorgeous. Rather than a weapon that killed, it looked more like a work of art instead. Its hilt had many valuable gems embedded within. Its body was engraved with beautiful patterns and there was a string of pearls attached to the end of the hilt.

After hearing Zheng Qingfang’s introduction, Sun Mo glanced at the dagger as he activated Divine Sight.

“Chasing Cloud Dagger. Length: 17 cm. It is a superior-grade spirit weapon. This dagger has the summoning effect. If you chant the spell words, you would be able to summon a soul beast.”

Zheng Qingfang touched the dagger, and he was filled with a myriad of emotions.

“This dagger once saved my life!” Zheng Qingfang revealed a fond expression as he recalled his memories. “Back then when I was surrounded by the army of Wu Country, I only managed to escape due to this dagger summoning a divine colt.”

“Use this dagger to slice the skin on your finger and chant the spell words. You will then be able to summon a divine colt with the name ‘Chasing Cloud’. It can travel 1,000 miles per day without feeling fatigued,” the old servant explained. He really felt a sense of reluctance seeing his old master want to give out this dagger, which had accompanied him for over thirty years.

The so-called soul beast meant that it had already had its own intelligence. After the wild beasts died, those who had the spirit qi of heavens and earth in their bodies, in addition to their consciousness being firmly attached to this world, might be able to become soul beasts under a series of fortunate coincidences.

The rate of a soul beast appearing was too low. Hence, the price for each one was invaluable. The value of Sun Mo’s painting couldn’t even compare with it.

The divine colt Chasing Cloud was a Ferghana Horse. It was the mount of the previous generation King Tang and was heavily dotted on. After it died, because of its deep feelings for King Tang, it transformed into a soul beast and was willing to accompany him for as long as he lived.

Because Chasing Cloud was now a soul beast, it wouldn’t know fatigue. It didn’t need to eat or drink. Its body was as light as a swallow and when it galloped, it could even catch up to the fleeting clouds in the sky. Hence, it has the name ‘Chasing Cloud’.

“This dagger is a superior-grade spirit weapon. It hasn’t reached the tier of a saint-weapon because its attack power is too low. But if you are talking about fleeing, this item is absolutely an item of the highest quality.”

Zheng Qingfang passed the dagger to Sun Mo. “As long as you ride it, neither the white clouds in the sky and the gentle breeze on the ground will be able to catch up to you!”
