Boom!
Today, on a certain peak of Baiyun Sect, a powerful surge of true energy suddenly erupted.
A figure burst out from a room.
It was Gu Linglong.
After consuming the Marrow Washing Pill, not only had her talent been elevated, but her cultivation had also made significant progress, allowing her to directly step into the Martial King realm!
With the Autmn Water Sword in her hand, she felt confident enough to spar with top Martial Kings!
"All of this is thanks to my junior brother!"
"Junior brother, truly, you are my lucky star and my destined benefactor."
As if thinking of something, Gu Linglong's face flushed, and her eyes sparkled with excitement. "He gave me such precious elixirs and a sword just like that. He must have feelings for me; this is truly wonderful."
Suddenly, she sensed something and looked toward a nearby peak.
There, a powerful wave of true energy erupted as well, which was faintly mixed with a cold aura.
Gu Linglong recognized it as Leng Ningshuang's presence.
Just like her, Leng Ningshuang had also broken through to the Martial King realm.
"I didn't expect she would reach this step too."
For a long time, Gu Linglong had regarded her as a rival.
But now, glancing at the Autmn Water Sword in her hand, she raised her chin slightly, her face filled with pride. "It's time to make her give up!"
"The person junior brother likes is me!"
With that thought, she swiftly darted toward Leng Ningshuang's residence.
Upon arriving, Gu Linglong smiled at the newly promoted Martial King, "Oh, Senior Sister Ningshuang, you've broken through!"
"Indeed! You came at the right time; I have something to discuss with you," Leng Ningshuang said.
Now was the time to let her know that the person in junior brother's heart is me!
But then she noticed something, her eyes widening as she looked at the Autmn Water Sword in Gu Linglong's hand. She hurried forward, incredulous.
"You—how do you have that sword?!"
"Hehe, it was a gift from my junior brother," Gu Linglong said triumphantly, posing like a victor.
However, Leng Ningshuang's expression turned peculiar as she took out a sword from her storage ring, which was also an Autmn Water Sword!
"This—how is this possible?! Leng Ningshuang, how can you have that sword? No, yours must be a fake, right?!"
Gu Linglong's expression changed.
"You're the fake! This was given to me by my junior brother!"
"I also received one from my junior brother."
"You think I don't have any?"
The two women argued back and forth.
At that moment, Feng Xiaoyao and Zhang Ruocheng walked over.
They had come to congratulate the two on their breakthroughs to the Martial King realm, but then they caught sight of the Autmn Water Swords in their hands, and their expressions shifted slightly.
"How do you both have that sword?" Zhang Ruocheng and Feng Xiaoyao asked in unison.
Then, they exchanged glances and realized something.
They spoke simultaneously again, "You have one too?!"
After a moment of silence, they each took out their Autmn Water Swords.
Now, all four stood there, holding four Autmn Water Swords, dumbfounded.
...
Today was Baiyun Sect's monthly elder meeting.
Except for the lazy Liu Rusi, the sect leader and other elders were all present.
They gathered together with smiles on their faces, clearly pleased about some recent good fortune. One elder looked at another elder, who was beaming, and asked, "Seventh Elder, you seem so happy. Did you obtain some treasure?"
"Haha, you can't hide anything from me."
"What treasure are you talking about?"
"I can't tell you; I'm afraid you'll get jealous."
"Pfft, I also got a treasure recently, a gift from a junior. My junior is extraordinary."
"Oh, do tell."
"I won't tell you; I'm afraid you'll get jealous."
"Fine, if you don't want to say, then don't."
The crowd was buzzing with discussions.
At this moment, the Baiyun Sect Leader walked in, and at his waist hung a sword, the pure white Autmn Water Sword.
As soon as he entered, all eyes were drawn to him.
They were all staring intently at the Autmn Water Sword at his waist.
Seeing this, the Baiyun Sect Leader wore a proud expression.
'Haha, the Autmn Water Sword given by Xiao Feng is definitely boosting my prestige!'
These old geezers must be so jealous.
"How did you come to possess that sword?!"
All the elders reacted strongly, asking in unison.
The Baiyun Sect Leader was taken aback. "Why are you all reacting so dramatically?"
The elders fell silent for a moment.
Then they exchanged glances, and with a wave of their hands...
One by one, Autmn Water Swords appeared in their hands.
Each sword was identical, emanating a chilling aura.
Everyone was left stunned.
"What in the world is going on?"
The Baiyun Sect Leader looked utterly incredulous.
...
On the misty peak.
Liu Rusi was drinking wine, casually playing with a Autmn Water Sword in her hand. "This good disciple of mine is quite thoughtful. Although this sword isn't much to me, it's still a token of my disciple's sincerity. Not bad, not bad."
Suddenly.
She noticed figures swiftly approaching in the distance.
In their hands, they all held… a Autmn Water Sword!
Liu Rusi was taken aback, and she yelled into the house, "Ling Feng, get out here!"
"I'm coming!" Ling Feng replied as he stepped out of the house.
Seeing the group of people brandishing Autmn Water Swords, he couldn't help but retract his neck.
What's going on with these folks?
Are they here to chop me?
Ling Feng knew such a thing was impossible, but Baiyun Sect Leader rushed forward to ask, "Xiao Feng, what's going on with these Autmn Water Swords?"
He and the other elders had tested the swords.
The Autmn Water Sword was indeed genuine, ranking ninth on the sword list.
However…
How could such a treasure suddenly appear in such large quantities?
"In response to the Sect Leader, these Autmn Water Swords were actually forged by a friend of mine!" Ling Feng took a deep breath and casually made up a story.
Everyone was stunned by his words.
Forged?
So many Autmn Water Swords were actually made by the same person?
What kind of astonishing forging skill must that person possess?!
"Xiao Feng, are you serious?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you?"
Baiyun Sect Leader looked at the Autmn Water Sword in his hand with a complex expression.
This sword was indeed real.
"Xiao Feng, how many of these Autmn Water Swords have you given away?"
"Just about thirty or forty," Ling Feng replied.
The Sect Leader felt a bit dazed.
There were only a hundred swords on the list.
Ling Feng had given away thirty or forty Autmn Water Swords—wasn't that a bit outrageous?
But what Ling Feng said next almost made him faint.
"I still have sixty or seventy more here."
Ling Feng took out the Autmn Water Swords and spilled them on the ground.
These divine swords, which countless sword cultivators in the Great Zhou yearned for, now lay on the ground like useless scrap metal, mesmerizing everyone present.
Oh my god…
They couldn't be dreaming, could they?
Even if they were dreaming, it was too absurd!
"Haha, good disciple, I thought you were saving this sword just for me, but it turns out you gave so many away."
"Good, good! You stay right there!"
Liu Rusi sneered from the side.
Seeing the situation was not good, Ling Feng quickly took off running.
Liu Rusi chased after him, sword in hand.
The crowd, seeing this, didn't continue questioning.
However, Baiyun Sect Leader and the others, after their shock, couldn't help but burst into joy. "So many Autmn Water Swords, our Baiyun Sect has struck it rich!"
"Indeed! Xiao Feng actually knows such an influential person!"
"Haha, truly worthy of being Xiao Feng; he is extraordinary! With such connections, how can our Baiyun Sect not prosper?"
As Ling Feng was fleeing from Liu Rusi, he suddenly heard the system's notification in his mind.
[Ding! The host has given away one hundred famous swords, and everyone believes the host's lie. Baiyun Sect has acquired the famous swords, greatly enhancing its foundation.]
[Rewarding the host with Master-Level Refining Techniques!]
