Chapter 71 Half-step Artifact

The scabbard of the Guantian Sword was wrapped in heavy talisman paper, with red paper and black writing, which looked very creepy.

This is not an ordinary sword, this is a rune sword.

The red paper with black words on it does not mean it is unknown, but it represents high quality. The same talisman paper, one red talisman can be exchanged for thousands of yellow talismans, and they are in short supply, each of them is worth a fortune.

A characteristic of talismans is that they are easy to preserve in singular form but easy to be destroyed in plural form. If multiple talismans exist at the same time, even if they are of the same type, they will affect each other's effectiveness and eventually all become ineffective.

There are countless talismans on the scabbard of the Guantian Sword. These are not ordinary one-time talismans, but talismans that can exist permanently. The difficulty of this is by no means as simple as adding them up.

Regardless of the sword body, the scabbard alone is already top-grade among magical instruments. Even if it is not a fairy grade, it is still the best of the best.

However, for the current Nan Wang, he could not recognize the true identity of the sword at all. He neither understood what these talismans were used for, nor did he understand why Mu Yuanyao was looking for him.

From his perspective, he seemed to see Mu Yuanyao holding a fatal sickle and putting it on his neck.

Nan Wang asked with difficulty, his voice trembling, "Hello, hello. May I ask, do we... know each other?"

Mu Yuanxuan said, "We don't know each other yet."

Nanwang: “…”

Help, he can't respond to this.

At the critical moment, Chu Songping came to his rescue:

"Now that the things have been delivered, there is no need to stay. My Qingyun Sect is an upright sect, and we have not yet opened any business with the Demon Sect."

Although the way of rescuing did not sound very friendly, Nan Wang still looked at Chu Songping with great gratitude.

At the same time, the spirit branch also ran forward with a snapping sound and protected Nan Wang.

Compared to these two lovely colleagues, Zhan Chenming was different. Before Mu Yuanyao even walked up to him, he had already kicked the ground and stepped back several meters with the chair, almost writing the words "stay safe" on his face.

Mu Yuanxuan looked at Lingzhi's hostile face for a while, said nothing, and just turned and left.

The way she left was extremely mysterious. She took a few steps forward and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if she had never been there.

Amidst the commotion, the second elder immediately announced that today's meeting was over and asked everyone to leave in an orderly manner.

It was not until most of the people in the inner hall had left that Nan Wang finally realized what was happening. He pointed at the Guantian Sword in front of him and said tremblingly:

"This, this sword..."

Lingzhi took the Guantian Sword and made a decision for Nanwang: "Leave this sword with me for now. I'll check it. If there's no problem, I'll give it to you, brother."

Chu Songping replied nonchalantly, "When you're done checking, send it to me too."

Zhan Chenming moved back and interjected with interest: "No need for me to send it, after all, you can't draw a formation on the sword."

"There's no need to bother. I can find out the situation of the spirit sword as soon as I find out."

Du Xueling walked forward, picked up the Guantian Sword, took a quick look at it, and drew the sword out of its sheath.

In an instant, countless talismans scattered like flowers from heaven, forming a huge talisman array on the spot. The talismans were connected end to end, operating according to a certain rule, and the overall shape was like a half-opened flower bud.

The body of the Guantian Sword was held in Du Xueling's hand. The same talisman characters as those on the talisman were engraved on the sword. Du Xueling waved it casually, and the talisman array changed its shape. The flower buds instantly blossomed and bloomed into an extremely exquisite five-petal talisman flower.

Zhan Chenming, who had just said "You can't draw a formation on the sword", changed his expression.

He suddenly realized that although the sword could not be used to draw a formation, the scabbard could.

The scabbard was made into a magic weapon alone, and spells were engraved on the sword, which then drove the formation through the talisman.

Such ingenuity, such structure...

Zhan Chenming immediately thought about how he could borrow it from Nanwang to study it.

Not only Zhan Chenming was shocked, but also Lingzhi.

She is a weapon cultivator, and no one knows better than her how difficult it is to carve the spell on a sword.

Even the functions of these spells have not been discovered yet. Just from the spell array, it is clear that this Guantian Sword is definitely a fairy sword, or even more...

"Nice sword!"

Du Xueling gave his evaluation, sheathed his sword, and handed it to Nanwang:

"Wu Ge is the leader of the Ghost Corpse Cult. Her name is known to everyone in the Demon Cult. It is said that all the ghost corpses in the Ghost Corpse Cult were refined by her. In the field of refining weapons, there are few people in the world who can surpass her. Fourth Junior Brother, you must keep this Guantian Sword, a half-step divine weapon."

Nanwang: “…”

What no song?

What kind of ghost cult is this?

What half-step artifact?

What does it have to do with him?

Nan Wang couldn't help it anymore, so he mustered up the courage to refuse:

"I don't want it! I don't even know her! I've never heard of her... I've never even seen her! It would be a waste to give such a good sword to me. I, I don't want it anyway..."

Nan Wang originally wanted to say that he had never heard of Mu Yuan Rumor, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

He certainly hadn't heard of pastoral ballads, but he had heard of "no songs".

This character exists in the original novel and occupies a considerable amount of space.

In the battle that destroyed Qingyun Sect, Wu Ge's army of ghosts made a lot of contributions, and there were quite a few of them.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wu Ge is the enemy of Qingyun Sect. How could he dare to use a sword forged by such a person?

Du Xueling shook his head and said, "Wu Ge's target is not you, but the previous fourth true disciple Qinghe. Fourth Junior Brother, even if the man is guilty, the sword is innocent. Guantian Sword Half-Step Divine Sword, don't refuse it. Since it's given to you, you should keep it first. Maybe you can use it in the future."

Nanwang was not the only one who found this unbelievable.

However, as soon as the meeting ended, the elders left with gloomy faces. Even if Du Xueling realized that something was wrong, she could not ask questions at this juncture.

Fortunately, there is a long time to come, and she has a lot of time. She can slowly investigate, slowly ask questions, and find out what happened bit by bit.

Nanwang nodded with difficulty.

He understands the truth.

Whether you listen to the name or look at the appearance of this Guantian Sword, it is definitely a good thing, the kind that will be fought over if it is released.

Everyone wants good things, and he is no exception, but he always has a feeling that he may not be worthy of this sword for the time being...

Du Xueling seemed to see through Nanwang, and when she spoke, she spoke exactly what was on his mind: "The Guantian Sword is a talisman sword, and you will soon be the leader of the Talisman Sect. No one is more suitable for this sword than you. As for whether you want to make it your natal sword... in a few days, the elders will open the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb for you, and you can choose a sword. After you have seen the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb, you can decide on your natal sword."

Since the senior sister had said so, Nan Wang could no longer refuse and could only put the Guantian Sword into his storage bag with a heavy heart.

…

Soon, under the "escort" of a group of true disciples, Nanwang returned to the outer gate.

Luo Xuyou and Yuan He, who had been waiting at the door, stood up immediately after seeing Nan Wang, but shrank back the next second.

"Big Brother, Third Brother, Fifth...Fifth Sister."

The two of them greeted Zhong Zhenchuan with awkward expressions.

God knows, before today, they had no intersection with the true disciples.

And after today——

The two looked at Nan Wang with complicated expressions and said, "Four..."

Nan Wang's face turned pale, and he shook his head like a wave drum: "I'm not, I didn't, I'm also a victim!"

Luo Xuyou: “…”

Yuan He: “…”

Du Xueling smiled kindly: "You are Nanwang's friends, and now you have entered the inner sect. Although Nanwang has received the instruction of the head immortal, and has more titles and responsibilities, friends are still friends, and it is best to continue as usual."

"Yes, yes, Senior Sister, we will proceed as usual, as usual."

Luo Xuyou replied stutteringly.

Yuan He also nodded repeatedly.

Du Xueling turned to Nanwang and said:

"Okay, we'll drop you off here. Go back and pack your things. Once you're done, we'll open up the Qunhe Mountain of the Fu Sect for you. All the major branches will then send people to help you. Don't worry."

"I will draw a formation for you on the day of the opening of the mountain. I promise to make it a copper wall and an iron wall. Not even a fly will be able to fly in."

Zhan Chenming patted his chest and assured.

"There are books on talismans in our Qi Sect's library. I've seen them before. I'll go back and look through them and send them to you, brother!"

Lingzhi also said this with a solemn oath.

"Thank you, everyone. You are so nice."

Nan Wang watched them leave with tears in his eyes. He then sniffed and turned to look at his two friends with a smile that was not much prettier than crying:

"I'm sorry... I really didn't expect this to happen. I don't know what to do. I don't want to go to Fu Zong at all..."

Luo Xuyou took a few breaths to calm himself down, and finally sighed: "You too, couldn't you have said it earlier for such a big thing!"

Yuan He also said: "Yes, if you had told us earlier, we could have helped you with some advice."

Nan Wang's smile was extremely bitter.

What can he say?

Are you talking about An Nuo, whose identity is unknown, the disappeared immortal leader, or his undercover identity, saying that he knew the plot a long time ago and is a book traveler?

He is different from the little friends in front of him.

Originally, he had a secret, but he still had his own small space where he could joke, play and chat with his friends every day.

But now, the last of the space has disappeared, and he is going back to the time when he was alone in the beginning.

Luo Xuyou said: "The Second Elder came to me just now and asked me if I wanted to join the Sword Sect. I said I couldn't watch you go to the Fu Sect alone, and then the Second Elder told me to join both the Sword Sect and the Fu Sect at the same time. I will come to the Fu Sect to help you first, and then I will go back to the Sword Sect after you settle down."

Yuan He said: "I thought so too, but I decided to join the Fa Sect. The Fa Sect is close to the Fu Sect. Even if I return to the Fa Sect in the future, it will be convenient for me to come back."

Nanwang: “!!!”

What a difference!

No difference!

Rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out!

Long live the little buddy!
