Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

On the way back to the sect, Li Guanqi was alone in the cultivation chamber of the cloud boat.

Focusing his mind on cultivation, Li Guanqi felt the surging original power within him and couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems it will take some time to break through to the mid-stage."

Even though his speed of absorbing spiritual energy could be described as terrifying, the Dao platform he had built in his dantian was too large.

After a long silence, Li Guanqi tried to call out to the sword spirit.

"Sword Spirit, are you there?"

The sword spirit's voice seemed to be filled with worries as she softly replied, "What is it?"

Such a gentle voice left Li Guanqi somewhat at a loss. The previous sword spirit had always been proud and aloof towards him.

This sudden change to gentleness made him a little unaccustomed.

Li Guanqi scratched his head and said, "That sword, is that you?"

The sword spirit's voice was somewhat lonely as she said, "Yes, I didn't expect you could actually bear my projection."

Li Guanqi didn't know what the sword spirit meant by projection; perhaps it meant something like mapping.

"Then… why is the tip of the sword broken?"

The sword spirit was silent for a long time, then softly said, "I once slashed at something, resulting in mutual injury."

Li Guanqi currently had no understanding of these things.

"That must have been a very powerful thing!"

The sword spirit asked with some curiosity, "Why?"

Li Guanqi smiled and said, "Because I think you are very strong!"

The sword spirit, inside the sword box, smiled, her eyes narrowed, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

Finally, after Li Guanqi asked many unimportant questions, he finally got to the main topic.

"Um… I want to know what abilities you can bring me?"

The sword spirit smiled and softly said, "Me?"

"You'll only be able to understand this after you forge a soul weapon."

"In short, I can grant special abilities based on the type of soul weapon."

Gulp…

Hearing what the sword spirit said, Li Guanqi's heart was filled with shock!

"Grant! Special abilities!!"

The sword spirit chuckled softly, "But you don't need to rush. Let's not even talk about whether you can find a powerful soul weapon master."

"Even if you do, the soul weapon forged may not be able to bear my power."

Li Guanqi nodded, deciding to give the sword spirit a little more original power today.

Feeling this, the sword spirit suddenly teased, "Why are you giving me so much today?"

Li Guanqi smiled slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

"I feel like you're different than before, like… you trust me more."

The sword spirit shook her head helplessly and said directly, "From yesterday onwards, our fates have been tightly connected, sharing honor and disgrace."

"However, I also have a question in my heart."

"Do you know what the blood-colored纹路 drawn on your body are?"

Li Guanqi frowned and transmitted his thoughts, "I don't know, my grandfather did it all."

"I've been following my grandfather since I was six years old, and every year he would draw a part on me."

"It was extremely painful when drawing it!! I wouldn't choose to draw it again even if you beat me to death."

"Do you know what it is?"

The sword spirit actually slowly appeared at this moment, her eyes burning as she looked at Li Guanqi.

Her voice was incredibly solemn as she said, "I'm very curious about your grandfather's true identity."

As she spoke, the woman's fingertip brushed across Li Guanqi's neck.

Parting his collar, revealing a trace of the blood纹痕迹.

The sword spirit leaned over and looked sideways at the blood纹, softly saying, "Greater Sumeru Nine Palaces Immortal Execution纹."

"Even I thought the method of drawing this blood纹 had been lost long ago."

Li Guanqi heard the amazement in the woman's voice and couldn't help but ask, "What is this thing for?"

The sword spirit slowly stood up and smiled, "Concealing your innate ethereal Dao body!"

"To avoid being discovered too early by the immortals of the upper realm, preventing disaster."

"I must say, your grandfather… is very powerful!"

"Alright, I'm going to rest."

As the sword spirit disappeared, a smile also appeared on the corner of Li Guanqi's mouth.

"It seems I can appropriately give her some original power in the future."

The journey back was quick, and the cloud boat docked next to the Great Xia Sword Sect's plaza.

Lu Kangnian and the others had been waiting for a long time.

Li Nanting flew over and said with a salute and a smile, "Sect Leader, you must reward Guanqi and Yefeng well this time."

Lu Kangnian laughed loudly, "Deserved!"

"Li Guanqi of Skythunder Peak, step forward to receive your reward!"

Lu Kangnian's voice, mixed with original power, spread throughout the entire Great Xia Sword Sect.

"Li Guanqi awakened a ninth-grade sword weapon soul!"

"And secured two trial secret realms for the Great Xia Sword Sect!"

"Reward: Ten bottles of Cultivation Enhancement Pills! Three thousand sect points!"

"Five thousand low-grade spirit stones, and one month of use of the Earth-grade Spirit Ascension Platform!"

"One entry into the Scripture Pavilion, where you can choose any two cultivation method manuals!"

"Yefeng… cough cough, three bottles of Cultivation Enhancement Pills, one thousand points, one thousand low-grade spirit stones, and one month of use of the Mysterious-grade Spirit Ascension Platform."

After speaking, Lu Kangnian said softly with an embarrassed expression.

"The sect is poor, understand, understand."

Yefeng, who was beside him, had tears in his eyes and said in a low voice.

"Sect Leader, your favoritism is blatant."

"It's okay to be poor together, but Li Guanqi is so rich, it's more uncomfortable than me being poor alone."

"Is this sacrificing the small self for the greater good…?"

Lu Kangnian quickly turned his head and coughed lightly twice.

"Um… you new disciples have just entered the sect for half a year, so the sect is allowing you to go home to visit your families for half a month."

"Pack up tomorrow and you can go down the mountain to see your families."

Hearing this, Yefeng didn't seem to be interested, as if going home wasn't something to be happy about for him.

The other sect disciples couldn't help but cheer.

After all, everyone is young and has left their hometown to come to the sect, so they always miss home a little.

Even Li Guanqi was considering whether to fly back to Fulong Village on his sword.

Li Guanqi murmured in a low voice, "I miss that girl Wan Shu a little."

"I really want to see her shocked look when she sees me flying on a sword."

Afterward, everyone separated, and Li Guanqi returned to the villa with Yu Suian.

As soon as they landed, Yu Suian ran away like the wind.

While running, she muttered anxiously, "It's lunchtime, it's lunchtime!!"

Suddenly, the little girl stopped and turned her head to look at Li Guanqi and asked, "Li Guanqi, what do you want to eat?"

Li Guanqi, who was sitting in the courtyard, was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Two meat buns."

Yu Suian grinned, her two small braids jumping behind her head, and said, "Okay! Wait for me to come back!"

As soon as the little girl left, Yefeng came to Li Guanqi's place on his sword.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Li Guanqi wiping his long sword and couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you still here?"

"Aren't you going home to see your family?"

Li Guanqi shook his head and said, "I'm not going back. My grandfather isn't home, so there's no point in going back."

"What about you?"

"I don't want to go back either, it's very boring. My dad also looks down on me, so going back is just an eyesore to him."
