Lin Yi was carrying a longsword, a standard equipment for martial artists. He didn't choose a more elegant or handsome sword because the majority of cultivators mainly use swords. In the Qi Refinement Realm, they practice with magic swords, and in the Foundation Establishment Stage, they use flying swords. Elegance is the main selling point.
He was no exception. Although he didn't practice with a magic sword during the Qi Refinement Realm, once he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he would certainly learn sword control and acquire a flying sword.
Therefore, every swordsman could potentially attract the Flower Thief's attention. If he wanted to play the part, he couldn't afford a single slipup.
