As the topic of sword techniques came up, Zhang Yuan also leaned forward a bit, clearly very interested.
Li Tangyu then spoke:
âLingyin Yu Jian Jueâ¦â
After saying this, he went on to explain:
âHowever, that sword technique is too expensive, and it also has special restrictions, so I didnât want Qing Qing to bid on it.â At this moment, Li Qingqing was not pleased:
âHmm⦠â
âIf it werenât for me being bewitched and listening to your advice, and bidding just a little more, maybe I could have gotten that Lingyin Yu Jian Jue.â Having said that, Li Qingqing continued with a pained expression: âHow could I have been so foolish to believe you back then, causing me to regret it even now.â
Li Tangyu shook his head, saying:
âNot necessarilyâ¦â
âDidnât I take you to find the buyer afterward, and also the reward we offered him wasnât low, yet he still didnât exchange it.â
âHe simply doesnât lack Spirit Stones, no matter how much you increased the price, he could have kept up with it.â
Huang Qingling interjected at that moment, saying:
âThat Lingyin Yu Jian Jue youâre talking about, I rememberâ¦â
âIt needs to be used in conjunction with a formless and shadowless Flying Sword to unleash its full power, right?â
âThatâs rightâ¦â Li Qingqing nodded.
Huang Qingling looked puzzledly at Li Qingqing:
âWithout a formless and shadowless Flying Sword, what do you want that sword technique for?â
Li Qingqing replied, âI just really liked that sword technique when I saw itâ¦â
âTo have a formless and shadowless Flying Sword, with the technique in hand, then finding another Flying Sword like that would be good, right?â Just then, Zhang Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up:
âTo craft a formless and shadowless Flying Sword, one needs a large amount of transparence crystal, which is rare; Iâm afraid the sword would be even harder to find.â
âIs a formless and shadowless Flying Sword that hard to find?â Li Qingqing couldnât quite believe it.
âBrother Zhang is right; a formless and shadowless Flying Sword is indeed very hard to find.â Li Tangyu nodded in agreement.
Huang Qinglingâs mouth twitched into a smile as she suddenly said:
âI have seen a formless and shadowless Flying Swordâ¦â
Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing turned her head to look at Huang Qingling and quickly asked:
âSister Qing Ling, where did you see it?â
Li Tangyu and Zhang Yuan also turned their gazes toward Huang Qingling.
Huang Qingling pointed and said:
âLin Jingâs Magic Artifact isâ¦â
Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing immediately turned to look at Lin Jing, her eyes filled with hope.
And Li Tangyu was also interested.
âI wonder, Brother Lin, if it would be convenient for you to let us have a look at your formless and shadowless Flying Sword,â Li Tangyu said.
âOf course, no problemâ¦â Lin Jing spoke.
After finishing his words, Lin Jing took out the Flawless Sword and handed it to Li Tangyu.
Li Tangyu reached out to take the Flawless Sword, feeling its icy touch, and as he looked at it, his gaze passed straight through the blade, clearly seeing everything beneath it.
Moreover, this Flying Sword contained not a single impurity and, unless one looked closely, it was completely undetectable.
Li Qingqingâs eyes sparkled as she looked at the Flawless Sword, even reaching out to touch it with the tip of her finger.
Li Tangyu caressed the Flawless Sword, sincerely marveling:
âA superb Magic Artifact, this Flying Sword is among the best in even the highest grade of Magic Artifacts, Brother Lin, you are really luckyâ¦â Having said this, Li Tangyu curiously asked Lin Jing: âCould I ask how you came by this Flying Sword, Brother Lin?â âThis Flying Sword was a gift from a friendâ¦â Lin Jing said.
âSo enviousâ¦â
Li Qingqing, standing to the side, was staring intently at the Flawless Sword, not willing to look away.
âWith this Flying Sword and the Lingyin Yu Jian Jue, it would be a perfect
âWhat a pityâ¦â
âWho knows who ended up taking that Lingyin Yu Jian Jue, otherwise, I would have paid a great price to get it.â
Li Qingqing caressed the Flawless Sword, filled with regretâ¦
âIndeedâ¦â
Li Tangyu also agreed.
Lin Jing, however, remained expressionless.
Because the Lingyin Yu Jian Jue was in his possession.
After a while longer, Li Tangyu checked the Flawless Sword and returned it to Lin Jing, who promptly put it away.
After that, they shifted the topic and began discussing other matters.
Before long, several people came down from upstairs.
The newcomers were none other than the true people attending the banquet.
Seeing the true people descending from upstairs, the young scions on the third floor all stood up and respectfully greeted them with clasped hands:
âWe greet all the true people.â âPlease, be seatedâ¦â
âNo need for such formalitiesâ¦
Subsequently, the true people approached Lin Jing and the others.
They all clasped their hands in a show of respect.
At this moment, the Zhang Family Patriarch stepped forward and said to Lin Jing:
âYoung man, come hereâ¦â
Although filled with confusion, not understanding what the Zhang Family Patriarch intended, Lin Jing went over.
âElder Chunfan, may I know what you instruct?â Lin Jing asked respectfully.
âI have a gift for youâ¦â said the Zhang Family Patriarch.
After speaking, the Zhang Family Patriarch took out a dark red miniature sword less than an inch long from his Space Ring and handed it to Lin Jing.
âThis Flying Sword is named the Executionerâs True Sword. Itâs a Forbidden Artifact, capable of being used only once, but its power is extraordinary, even a threat to a Golden Core Immortal. Iâm giving it to you for your protection.â
A Forbidden Artifact, and one that could threaten a Golden Core Immortal, this Executionerâs True Sword was indeed extremely precious.
Lin Jing dared not accept it and instead turned to look at Elder Yu beside him.
Elder Yu nodded and said:
âSince Elder Chunfan is giving it to you, take it.â
Lin Jing understood that the two must have already discussed it. âThank you, Elder Chunfan.â
After Lin Jing spoke, he took the small Flying Sword and tucked it away.
Then, Elder Yu said to the Zhang Family Patriarch: âSince youâve given a gift, I canât be without a gesture, can I?â
âYoung man, come hereâ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Elder Yu gestured to Zhang Yuan with his hand.
âI greet Elder Yuâ¦â
Zhang Yuan came forward and clasped his hands to Elder Yu.
Next, Elder Yu took out a shield-shaped Magic Artifact from his Storage Bag and handed it to Zhang Yuan.
âIâm not as wealthy as your Zhang Family, but this shield is a top-grade Defensive Magical Artifact. Its defense capability is quite decent. Once you refine it, you can use it immediately.â
âGo ahead, donât forget to thank Elder Yuâ¦â
Zhang Yuan took the shield and once again clasped his hands:
âThank you, Elder Yu.â
âSince a gift has been given, it cannot be the only oneâ¦â
After speaking, Elder Yu took out a few more gifts and presented them to the siblings Li Tangyu and Li Qingqing. Even Huang Qingling received one.
Howeverâ¦
Their gifts obviously could not compare with those given to Lin Jing and Zhang
Yuan.
Afterwards, the true people left.
Before they left, the true people instructed them to get together when they could.
The meaning was clearâ¦
Perhaps the true people had already reached some agreement in secret.
From now on, they would likely be âpeople of the same campâ. After watching the true people walk away, Huang Qingling finally spoke:
âLin Jing, comeâ¦â
âLet me have a look at your Executionerâs True Sword.â
Lin Jing took out the miniature sword and passed it over.
Huang Qingling stood up, took the Executionerâs True Sword from Lin Jingâs hand, and then examined it closely.
Li Tangyu and Li Qingqing also gathered around to take a look.
After a long whileâ¦
Huang Qingling finally passed the Executionerâs True Sword back to Lin Jing.
âIâm really envious of you for getting such a wonderful treasureâ¦â
âThis wonât doâ¦
âIâm feeling unbalanced, you need to make up for it by cooking me some good foodâ¦â Huang Qingling said huffily..
