“To leave such a mark on the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint is simply too much!”

Wei Zhaoliu clenched her fists, trembling with rage.

Li Mo coughed lightly: “Actually, is it possible that he didn’t want to?”

“It just so happened that he had an epiphany there, and it just so happened that he left his comprehension on it.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhaoliu’s expression froze. She opened her mouth, but ultimately pursed her lips and lowered her head.

She had been studying the wondrous stone since she was young, yet she couldn't budge the sword imprint in the slightest.

But the other person, on their very first try, made the wondrous stone conform to their shape.

The disparity was simply despair-inducing.

For a moment, Wei Zhaoliu's eyes lost their focus.

That sword imprint was like a divine will, how could it be so easily...

“Cough, cough.”

Seeing that she was on the verge of another mental breakdown, Li Mo said seriously: “Senior Sister Wei, your talent in the Dao of the Sword is astonishing. One day, you will surely comprehend even more powerful sword techniques. By then, won’t you be able to change the wondrous stone back?”

The comfort of his Yi Soul combined with his gentle words had an excellent effect.

“Yes, I just need to work a little harder...”

Wei Zhaoliu nodded heavily: “Thank you, Junior Brother, for enlightening me! If you have any questions about the Dao of the Sword, feel free to ask me!”

“Helping others is the root of happiness, there’s no need to mention it.”

Li Mo calmly blinked.

Wei Zhaoliu sighed: “This person is simply a pervert.”

“In what way?”

“In every way. Let’s not even talk about talent; what good person practices a hammer?”

Wei Zhaoliu said indignantly.

“.....”

Li Mo was silent for a few seconds, then said with great empathy: “If given a choice, who would want to... Actually, those who practice hammers aren’t necessarily bad people.”

Wei Zhaoliu frowned: “Junior Brother, why are you empathizing with that person? Are you very familiar with him?”

“To be honest, he and I are irreconcilable.”

“That’s true, Junior Brother, you really don’t seem to have that kind of temperament.”

Wei Zhaoliu nodded.

Practicing a hammer, she automatically imagined a burly, fierce-looking person who could eat three children in one sitting.

This Junior Brother was handsome and gentle; there was no way he could be associated with such a person.

Moreover, he had just helped her.

He was a good person.

.......

After descending from the Sword Tower, he did not return to Cloud State City.

Today, Ying Bing was giving a lecture at the Sword Pool.

The so-called Sword Pool was where Transverse Cloud Sword City stored its swords, similar to the Shenfeng Cave. It was a very large open-air plaza.

At its center was a clear, bottomless pond, containing various types of swords.

At this moment, the Sword Pool was bustling with people, packed three layers deep inside and out.

“No wonder Ying Bing could become this year’s Jian Ying; what she says is even better than what my Outer Scenery Master teaches.”

“If only she were a Disciple of Sword City.”

“If she were a Disciple of Sword City, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be long before the Senior Sister changed.”

“It’s a pity I didn’t get to hear Li Shaoxia lecture. He also has the potential of a Sword Immortal; I wonder what unique insights he would have into the Dao of the Sword.”

.....

While listening attentively, hushed discussions occasionally broke out.

Seeing that there were too many people and class was almost over, Li Mo simply didn’t go in.

He stood for a while.

He suddenly became distracted.

Not far away, a small figure with a basket on her back was poking the ground with a peach branch.

With a gentle flick, a broken sword blade was picked up and flew into her small basket.

The air was humid, and her hair stuck to her neck, but she was having a great time.

“Chu Long, why aren’t you at the Sword Pool?”

Looking at the shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth, Li Mo walked up and asked. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

“I already... already listened.”

“You listened?”

“Ying Bing’s lecture... and Master’s lecture... seem very similar...”

“.....”

“Could it be that Ying Bing... was also... guided by Master?”

Jiang Chulong tilted her head, a little confused.

“That’s not necessarily true. After all, the principles of the Dao of the Sword lead to the same destination by different paths. Perhaps their understanding is just similar.”

“Mm... right.”

Xiao Jiang felt that what Li Dage said made a lot of sense.

Watching her precisely pick up another broken sword from the dirt, Li Mo asked curiously: “Chu Long, how do you know there are swords in the ground?”

“Because... because I can hear them... and... there are many more.”

Having nothing else to do.

So, Li Mo accompanied Xiao Jiang, happily picking up trash near the Sword Pool.

If one disregarded the fact that all the things picked up were broken swords, it was somewhat like going on an outing to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and pick mushrooms...

Before long.

The small basket was almost full.

“Why are they all swords...?”

“Strange.”

Li Mo discovered that the ground nearby was filled with damaged swords?

And they were buried quite neatly.

“Of course it’s strange.”

A familiar voice came.

One could tell that he seemed to be suppressing some emotion.

“Hm?”

Li Mo looked up and saw Elder Zeng standing there with a dark face, looking at the two of them unhappily.

“These swords have been buried around the Sword Pool for a long time.”

“I didn’t expect them to be dug up by you two.”

“A long time?”

Li Mo’s heart stirred. If they had been buried for so long without being discovered by others, didn't that mean these swords were extremely extraordinary?

If it weren't for Xiao Jiang’s Innate Sword Embryo, she probably wouldn't have been able to find them.

Could it be that they were treasures specifically used to test the talent of Disciples?

Elder Zeng’s face grew even darker:

“That’s right, I arranged a sword-nurturing formation around the Sword Pool according to the Qimen direction, and now, you’ve dug them all out!”

Li Mo: “.....”

He was about to tell Xiao Jiang that these swords were not unwanted trash and needed to be put back.

But he saw Jiang Chulong with her head drooping, looking pitiful. The small basket weighed on her thin shoulders, heavier than she was.

She whispered: “But... but these swords... are crying...”

“Cough... Elder Zeng.”

“Hm?”

“Can your Sect change the method of nurturing swords?”

“Compared to using damaged swords, other methods consume more! Who will pay? You?”

“That must be me.”

.....

【Congratulations to the host for successfully investing in a Gold Stone Sword Hiding Great Array.】

【Investment Feedback: 100 years of Martial Arts Comprehension.】

Exchanging money for Martial Arts Comprehension was simply too good a deal.

Xiao Li just happened to need a large amount of Martial Arts Comprehension.

He also needed to condense four Mystic Cores.

In other words, he still needed to cultivate four Mind-Cultivation Techniques in total, advance them to the Xuan Dan Realm, and have them transform into stars of the Celestial Cycle Star Mystic Core Scripture.

Now, no amount of Martial Arts Comprehension was too much for him.

Thus, Elder Zeng increased the spiritual energy of the Sword Pool by a few points, Xiao Jiang received hard-earned trash, and Li Mo gained Martial Arts Comprehension.

A win-win-win!

....

Three days later.

The Elders who were already on their way had not yet arrived.

However, the new Qianlong Ranking was about to be announced.

Xiao Li didn’t sleep last night; instead, he deduced the Eight Treasures Gold Devouring Skill and practiced it all night.

With various rare treasures, and having already gone through the Xuan Dan Realm path once, the process was very smooth.

But he was still a little short of condensing another Mystic Core.

“At this rate, it will probably take two months to gather seven stars...”

Not long after.

Everyone from the Qingyuan Sect had gathered. frёewebnoѵēl.com

“The Elders should be arriving soon. I wonder if they’ll make it in time to see the ranking immediately.”

Shen Yunfei smiled: “Let’s set off too!”

The Qingyuan Sect rarely had Disciples on the ranking.

But this time, two were a sure thing; it was just unknown how high their ranking would be.

Thinking this.

He looked not far away.

There, the boy and girl had just walked out of the courtyard together.

Behind them followed the little girl with her eyes covered by a cloth strip.

Shen Yunfei had a strange feeling.

In just a few days, their aura... had grown stronger?
