Chapter 7 Treasure
Chen Hetang and the others took a deep breath and gradually recovered from the shock. They looked at Chen Liu, the junior, with complicated expressions, feeling a mix of surprise, joy, and bitterness.
They originally thought that with such a transformative opportunity, these old guys could sprout new shoots and catch up with Chen Liu, the descendant of the 'Martial Ancestor'.
After all, if Chen Liu hadn't cultivated to the realm of a terrestrial immortal, he would have been the only terrestrial immortal and the only Martial Ancestor in that world.
Given Chen Liu's age of twenty-one, how could these stubborn old folks possibly be so respectful to a junior?
Upon seeing him, they bowed and addressed each other as the Martial Ancestor!
As a result, they have now seized an opportunity and undergone a transformation, with their strength increasing dramatically.
They're still just as weak in front of Chen Liu? Are terrestrial immortals really that powerful?!
Chen Hetang took a deep breath to suppress the shock and bitterness in his heart, sighed softly, and looked at Chen Liu, saying, "Since the Martial Ancestor has his own plans, then we will not say anything more."
As he spoke with a slightly serious expression, he said, "Martial Ancestor, the world is undergoing great changes, especially the events outside the city last night and the strange changes in many plants, which present many opportunities for the world to emerge."
"We have indeed been fortunate enough to undergo a transformation, but I fear that others in the city may have also been fortunate enough to do so."
"Confucian scholars use their literary skills to disrupt the law, while knights-errant use their martial arts to break the law. Strength emboldens people. Right now, the royal family and the court can indeed still control the capital, but if there are any more unforeseen changes in the world, then... I think we need to make thorough preparations now!"
Chen Liu pondered for a moment and said, "These problems will indeed exist, but they won't be too serious."
"The most urgent task is for the clan leader to lead the royal family to search for opportunities in this world as much as possible and to control its resources as much as possible."
He looked at the elders, including Chen Hetang, and said calmly, "If anyone wants to break away or is dissatisfied, they can come to me. Otherwise, when I come knocking on their door, I won't let them off the hook."
With Chen Liu backing them up, and having just witnessed Chen Liu's still terrifying and unfathomable strength firsthand, Chen Hetang and the others relaxed their tense minds slightly, secretly nodding in relief.
"Alright, leave these matters to us." Chen Hetang and his group came and went in a hurry. They came to Chenliu just to confirm whether the pillar of their royal family was still stable.
Now that everyone sees it, they feel at ease and can focus on doing other things.
After Chen Hetang and the others left, Chen Liu looked up slightly at the ancient mountains outside the city, which were still shrouded in mist as if through a thin film, surrounded by layers of clouds and fog.
Chen Liu was not worried about whether the martial artists in the city, who had gained opportunities and undergone a transformation in strength, would challenge his or the court's position.
What worried him was whether those strange mountains rising from the ground outside the city might harbor some unknown dangers.
Chen Liu instructed Lü Yunbing and the others to send all the exotic peaches harvested in the backyard to other members of the clan to consume. The greatest benefit of these exotic fruits was the awakening and transformation of spiritual roots and magical power.
With the help of the remaining dozens of peach-shaped fruits, the royal family will be able to produce dozens more cultivators.
With the added influence of the imperial court, they should be able to reap the greatest benefits from last night's upheaval.
as predicted.
Soon.
An old eunuch who had originally served Emperor Yong appeared in the Chenliu Palace, carrying a tray and respectfully presenting three items: "Emperor Wuzu, these are treasures that His Majesty sent this old servant to deliver."
The three items on the tray were all different. One of them was a grape-sized, blood-red exotic fruit that exuded an enticing fragrance, even more fragrant than a peach.
Secondly, there was a piece of dark gold metal, about the size of a human head, covered with patterns and full of spiritual energy.
The third item is a simple bronze sword about the size of a palm.
The bronze sword looked like an ancient artifact, but at this moment it was shrouded in a faint, hazy light, and seemed to contain a terrifying power.
The old eunuch introduced the fruit to Chen Liu one by one: "This exotic fruit is a treasure obtained by the Xuanjia Army from outside the city. Consuming it can transform a person and allow them to cultivate supernatural powers. It is one of the most potent exotic fruits among the many harvested last night, and His Majesty named it the Vermilion Fruit."
Then he looked at the second item, a dark gold metal the size of a human head. The old eunuch exclaimed in amazement, "This spirit gold was also obtained from outside the city. It is no ordinary piece either. Even when this old servant used all his strength, he could not leave the slightest mark on it."
"So His Majesty sent this old servant to present it to Emperor Wu, to see if Emperor Wu needs it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old eunuch looked at the last bronze sword and frowned, his expression solemn. He said, "As for this sword, Martial Ancestor, this thing was originally a sacrificial artifact in the national treasury. Its age is difficult to determine, but it underwent a transformation during the events of last night."
He looked at Chen Liu and respectfully bowed, saying, "According to Your Majesty's guess, this bronze sword should have transformed into a magic sword. It is also one of the several transformed ancient artifacts discovered last night. Your Majesty instructed this old servant to bring it over for the Martial Ancestor to handle."
Chen Liu was surprised, and Lü Yunbing, who was beside him, stepped forward, took the tray, and respectfully presented it to him.
He picked up the unknown spirit gold from the tray. He could sense an extremely rich spiritual energy from the spirit gold, and it seemed to contain unknown mysteries. His surface was covered with strange patterns.
He pinched it between his fingers, and indeed, this spirit gold was incredibly hard.
Moreover, it was surprisingly heavy; the spiritual gold, the size of a human head, weighed tens of thousands of kilograms and had an astonishing density.
If it could be smelted, it could definitely be forged into a divine weapon.
However, this thing is not of much use to Chen Liu for the time being. He weighed the spirit gold in his hand for a moment and then put it down, before picking up the bronze sword.
The moment the bronze sword was in hand, it emitted a clear sword sound, and a faint, ethereal light emanated from within it.
Both the old eunuch and Lü Yunbing sensed a terrifying aura of immortal power emanating from the bronze sword. Their expressions changed, and they stared in horror at the bronze sword in Chen Liu's hand.
The moment Chen Liu got his hands on the bronze sword, he knew it was indeed a rare treasure.
It actually contained a wisp of primordial Daoist essence, originating from the same source as this small world.
obviously.
The reason this bronze sword underwent such a transformation is because the fragments of the previous world merged with the cultivation world, and this fusion turned it into a Dao artifact.
"Good stuff!" Chen Liu exclaimed with a smile.
He then handed the sword to Lü Yunbing beside him, saying, "Take this sword and try to comprehend its Daoist principles day and night. You will then master the Dao of the Sword."
As a sword attendant, Lü Yunbing naturally also had the duty of carrying the sword on behalf of Chen Liu.
However, this bronze sword is truly a treasure. If Lü Yunbing can glean some insights from it, perhaps she can even forge her own path in swordsmanship.
Even though she became a cultivator, her ability to comprehend the sword path was still of great benefit to her, as there are sword cultivators among cultivators!
