On the eve of death, I raised a boss

The two of them were still together, and the two of them were still together.

"Okay, let's not talk about those sad things for now."

Gu Qingchen gently stroked Liu Qingxin's hair and changed the subject:

"Qingxin, it's getting late. You should rest first, and I'll keep watch."

Liu Qingxin didn't feel sleepy at this moment, and she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried to sleep.

She was still thinking about what happened just now, and she felt a little heavy.

Gu Qingchen saw that Liu Qingxin looked like she couldn't sleep, and said softly:

"Since you can't sleep, how about I tell you other stories?"

"I have many more stories here, and you will definitely fall asleep after listening to them."

His voice was very gentle, with a reassuring feeling.

Liu Qingxin, who was lying in his arms, heard that Gu Qingchen was going to tell another story, and nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.

The last time she listened to Gu Qingchen's story, she fell asleep before she finished the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.

She felt a little regretful that she didn't hear the ending, and this time she was determined to finish the story.

So, Gu Qingchen cleared his throat and began to tell a new story:

"Today I'm going to tell the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."

His voice was low and magnetic, as if it could bring people into a wonderful world.

"A long time ago, there was a girl named Snow White..."

Gu Qingchen began to concentrate on telling the story slowly.

Liu Qingxin listened quietly, her eyes gradually became heavy, and finally slowly closed, leaning on Gu Qingchen's arms and fell asleep.

...

Gu Qingchen looked at Liu Qingxin in his arms, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He stroked her hair gently and continued to tell the ending of the story:

"Later, Snow White met the Prince Charming who truly loved her, and they lived a happy life."

After telling the story, Gu Qingchen looked down at Liu Qingxin, only to see that she was sleeping very sweetly with a smile on her lips.

He smiled slightly and carefully placed Liu Qingxin on the grass beside him.

Then he sat down and prepared to start meditating on the spot, quietly observing whether there would be any dangerous monsters around.

At this moment, a long-lost system prompt sound suddenly came from his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for raising the cultivation of the bound character to the middle stage of the foundation-building period. ]

[Character: Liu Qingxin]

[Art: Burning Heaven Demon Lotus Art (Emperor Grade Middle Grade)]

[Cultivation Level: Middle Stage of Foundation Building Period]

[Ding! The host's character reaches the middle stage of foundation building, and the reward is: 1 imperial-grade weapon (imperial-grade weapons, as long as they are recognized by the sword spirit in the sword, the imperial sword can be named, and after the name is given, the imperial sword will always follow the owner.)]

Hearing the system's prompt sound, prompting Liu Qingxin to reach the middle stage of foundation building, Gu Qingchen has long been accustomed to it.

After all, this is the practice of the imperial-grade middle-grade skills, even if you don't actively practice, just passively practice, the speed is extremely fast.

What's more, he had eaten so much rabbit meat in the middle stage of Qi Refining before, so it was natural to break through the third level in a row.

However, when he heard that the reward given by the system was actually an imperial-grade weapon, Gu Qingchen couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes flashed with light, and he quickly clicked on the system light screen that only he could see, and began to check the system warehouse.

When he saw with his own eyes that there was indeed an imperial-grade weapon in the warehouse, Gu Qingchen couldn't help but feel excited.

You know, there are no more than four imperial-grade weapons in the entire continent.

In the original novel, Ye Chen also risked his life in a certain ruins under the reminder of the "grandfather" in the ring, and only then did he get a lower-grade imperial weapon.

But now the system is so generous that it directly gives a higher-grade imperial weapon!

It feels like a new player who has just entered the game suddenly picked up a super-powerful artifact that can dominate the entire server.

"Brother System, I love you so much!"

Gu Qingchen was so excited that he almost hugged the system and kissed it hard. Who knows if he would get something more powerful by doing so?

Just when Gu Qingchen was immersed in beautiful reverie, the voice of the system suddenly rang.

[Please don't have those unrealistic ideas, this system has not been physically incarnated as a human being. ]

[Then may I ask if the host wants to extract this upper-grade imperial weapon from the system warehouse? ]

"Yes, yes! Definitely."

Gu Qingchen hurriedly

He answered without hesitation.

"It's so hard to get such a precious imperial-grade weapon. If I don't take it out to appreciate it, wouldn't it be a pity?" He muttered to himself.

[Extracting the imperial-grade weapon... Extraction successful! ]

As soon as the system finished speaking, a golden light appeared in Gu Qingchen's hand, and a sword as long as the Blood Sky Demon Sword appeared in his hand.

Even though it was an imperial-grade weapon, the sword body was rusted all over. Gu Qingchen couldn't feel any pressure from the imperial-grade weapon in his hand.

It looked like a bronze long sword just unearthed from an ancient tomb.

Looking at the rusty imperial-grade weapon in his hand, which exuded an ancient atmosphere.

Gu Qingchen was full of doubts, wondering if the system had issued the wrong reward, so he hurriedly called the system to ask for clarification:

"System, come out!"

As Gu Qingchen shouted, a virtual screen appeared in front of him, and the system's voice came out:

[System is here, is there anything I can do to help the host? ]

Gu Qingchen frowned, pointed at the rusty imperial weapon in his hand and asked:

"System, is this the imperial weapon you mentioned? Are you sure it's not a bronze sword just dug out of the soil? Are you sure you didn't issue the wrong reward?"

Faced with Gu Qingchen's series of questions, the system acted very calmly and began to patiently explain one by one.

[This system has indeed issued an imperial weapon of the highest quality. Please do not doubt the authenticity of the reward issued by the system. ]

After hearing the system's answer, Gu Qingchen still couldn't believe that the worn-out long sword in his hand was actually an imperial weapon.

He widened his eyes and continued to ask.

"Then how come this is the same as the bronze sword that was just unearthed?"

While saying this, he took the rusty-looking sword in his hand and examined it carefully.

The system seemed to have expected this and answered calmly.

[Host, after the system's identification, the sword in your hand is an imperial-level weapon, but you have not activated it. ]

"Activate?" Gu Qingchen repeated with a blank look on his face.

[Yes, it is activated. ]

The system continued to explain.

[The host only needs to inject his own spiritual power into the weapon in his hand to activate it. Once the activation is successful, he needs to pass the sword spirit trial to truly become the owner of this imperial-level weapon. ]
