Chapter 110: Chapter 8: Xiaoyun Ancient Sword [Extra update for Alliance Hierarch "leoliye"] _1

It wasn’t until dusk that Chu Liang reluctantly bid farewell to the black fur ball.

He always found the giant ghost tree in the forest to be chilling and eerie—it would certainly give him the creeps if he stayed there after dark.

The sunlight was scarce in the woods. By the time he returned to Shu Mountain, it was just getting dark.

He couldn’t wait to refine all the seeds and then go to the small flower field to sow them. The quantity of black fur ball he had slain today was ample enough to develop two small flower fields of yesterday’s size.

As Chu Liang was digging and sowing, he was considering the pricing for his gold pattern berries.

Theoretically, the cost of his gold-patterned berries included... his labor, the grass and wood spirit worth three sword coins that would last a month, and Liu Xiaoyu’s fish labor...

In recent days, it had been rainy, so Liu Xiaoyu’s watering work could be completely canceled, but she still needed to eat. Strictly speaking, her contribution should be categorized as natural loss.

No matter how low the cost is, the price cannot be set too low, otherwise, his own brand’s tone will be lost. Any other future businesses would also be affected.

As long as the berry production and sales process goes smoothly, he believes it won’t be long before his small flower garden can turn into a large orchard.

As he was working, he heard someone calling, "Senior Brother Chu!"

"Huh?" Chu Liang turned his head to find that it was Wen Yulong again: "Junior Brother Wen?"

Wen Yulong walked over briskly and said, "The concealment gauze material that I helped you haggle with last time, the deal has been finalized. The seller in Taotie City sent a message, agreeing to the reduced price. Now, we can secure it for around 650 sword coins."

"That’s acceptable." Chu Liang happily agreed.

The price was almost the same as Wen Yulong’s initial estimate. There was no need to haggle too much.

After talking with Wen Yulong last time, Chu Liang also asked around about the price of concealment gauze in other places. The prices were similar to what Wen Yulong quoted, so it’s clear that Wen Yulong genuinely helped him without harboring ulterior motives.

As long as the price is not drastically different, Chu Liang didn’t care if Wen Yulong took a little kickback. It was unnecessary to be too calculating when you’re asking others for help.

"Okay." Wen Yulong nodded: "Then I’ll send a message back to the seller, asking them to send the material as soon as possible. The fees for transporting treasures from Taotie City are quite high, but it’s reliable, so it’s worth it."

"No problem," said Chu Liang.

Since Taotie City was a long distance away, it would be rather troublesome to get there and back himself. Being financially robust and about to establish an industrial chain, Chu Liang now had quite a generous mindset.

Wen Yulong then inquired about the Flying Leaf Sharp Knife issue, to which Chu Liang could only respond with a wry smile. Just when he was about to change the subject, a sudden shout came from the Peak Master’s pavilion.

"Disciple--"

The sound of Empress Feng’s shout was domineering. Even though it wasn’t a holiday, the shout made you feel like she might pick a bone with you the next second.

"The master is calling me," said Chu Liang as he quickly turned his head around.

It was rare for Empress Feng to seek him out on her own initiative; he wondered if something major had happened.

"Well, I have nothing else to do, so I won’t disturb Senior Brother Chu any longer." Wen Yulong hurriedly excused himself, for even as a child, he had heard tales of the terror that Shu Mountain could be. The shout gave him a shudder as well.

...

Chu Liang then hurried to the Peak Master’s pavilion.

He saw Empress Feng holding a sword box, delicately placed it on the table, her face filled with joy: "Look, what a wonderful thing this is?"

"What?" Chu Liang looked cautious.

He didn’t believe that his master would give him anything good.

But Empress Feng quickly slapped him in the face.

With the sword box being opened, Chu Liang’s pupils contracted sharply.

Resting inside was a more than four feet long, silver-white, cloud-patterned ancient sword. The sword’s body exuded a restrained aura, with countless Daoist rites revolving around it.

The Xiaoyun Ancient Sword!

Chu Liang recognized it at one glance.

This was exactly the Human World Treasure List’s thirty-first ranked, Biluo Peak Master Daoist Yan’s sword, the Xiaoyun Ancient Sword!

Legend has it that during ancient times, a powerful swordsmith discovered the Daoist rites in the cloud and repeatedly tried to integrate them into the sword but failed. Finally, he thought of a method, to ride a giant beast into the sky and cast the sword amidst the clouds. Amidst the turmoil of winds and lightning, searing heavenly fire, and countless hardships, the sword was finally completed and named "Xiaoyun".

The Shu Mountain Sect, relying on its ancestral wealth, despite having lost its divine artifact, still owns a considerable number of the top hundred items from the Ten Thousand Treasures Record.

"Didn’t you say you didn’t have a suitable weapon for the Shu Mountain Peak Conference?" Empress Feng laughed, "Your master has pondered over this for a long time and decided it’s time for me to help you. Look, I’ve borrowed Daoist Yan’s Xiaoyun Ancient Sword. Besides the Purple-Green Twin Swords, this is the highest ranked weapon in the Shu Mountain Sect."

Chu Liang was startled, "Master wants me to use the Xiaoyun Ancient Sword to participate in the Shu Mountain Peak Conference? This..."

He didn’t know whether to feel touched or to find it absurd.

"Don’t even dream about it." Empress Feng glanced at him, "How can Daoist Yan, who thinks even dust is dirty, let others use her sword..."

"Moreover, considering your cultivation level, you would probably exhaust all your cultivation after just one move. You can’t control it."

"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Chu Liang breathe a sigh of relief.

If Empress Feng truly wanted him to use the Xiaoyun Ancient Sword, he would certainly refuse.

It’s not as if every treasure is amiable enough to let anyone use it.

Just like Beheading Red Famous Sword - letting those with inadequate cultivation use it, and even making up for their lacked power - is an ideal among the mortal realm.

Moreover, there are very few like Shu Mountain’s Purple-Green Double Swords that despise masters and prefer only young disciples as sword masters.

The treasures being leading in the Ten Thousand Treasures Record, most of them have cultivation requirements. If low-leveled cultivators used them, not to mention failing to control, they might be backlashed by the aggressive-spirited ones.

Especially the top ten divine artifacts, if people with insufficient cultivation try to activate them, they would be instantly killed from the backlash.

The Xiaoyun Ancient Sword is not much of an exception.

Any treasure is for the virtuous to occupy, and the capable to use, it’s never wrong.

"I plan on taking you to Taotie City to find a swordsmith to create a replica of the Xiaoyun Ancient Sword. Given its might, even a replica wouldn’t be too bad. When the time comes, you’ll have a flying sword." Empress Feng revealed her idea.

"That’s a brilliant idea." Chu Liang praised.

He had previously encountered Song Qingyi of the Scholar’s Academy whose weapon, the Inch Heart Ruler, is a replica of the Lianghe Jade Ruler, also extraordinary in its strength.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, such replicas of magical artifacts are not uncommon. It’s not just related to the power level of the replicas, but also heavily depends on the swordsmiths who crafted them; both the materials and technique are critical.

Replicas of top-level magical artifacts, if exceptionally crafted, would likely be equivalent to weapons included in the top five hundred of the Ten Thousand Treasures Record. However, since replicas are not allowed on the Ten Thousand Treasures Record, numerous high-quality replicas remain nameless.

So Chu Liang asked, "Master, which swordsmith do you plan to find in Taotie City?"

Then, he heard Empress Feng answer: "Master Kunwu!"

"What?" Chu Liang was shocked, "Him?"
