Chapter 2368: The Cold Swordsman and His Innate Sword Spirit 11
Seven days later, at the Tianyan Sect’s mountain gate square, the morning breeze was chilly.
Six figures gathered here, ready to set off for Zhulian Town.
Yun Che's flying sword hovered in the air, flashing with cold light. Xing Yan, Lan Yi, and Shi Yan also each took out their swords, eager to give it a try.
Xie Qingmo stood alone at a distance, the Chen sword at his waist standing upright in the morning light. The intricate patterns on the scabbard seemed to come alive, revealing an extraordinary charm.
Liu Qingcheng stood beside Yun Che, but his eyes seemed to be sucked in, firmly glued to the Chen Sword at the side of Xie Qingmo.
The natal sword that was born with spirituality... The spiritual light was purer than any magic weapon he had ever seen. If he could possess it, it would be a great help to him in absorbing good fortune.
His usual, innocent yet somewhat timid smile quickly appeared on his face. He walked a few steps towards Xie Qingmo and begged cautiously.
"Second Senior Brother..." Liu Qingcheng pointed at the glowing Chen Sword, his eyes full of envy and expectation, "Your sword is so full of spiritual energy, it's obviously an extraordinary one! It must be more stable and faster to carry a person than an ordinary flying sword... My cultivation is low, and my sword is not stable, so it will be hard for you to carry me... Second Senior Brother, can I... ride with you?"
Liu Qingcheng raised his head slightly, and kept a very humble attitude, as if Xie Qingmo would be bullying him if he didn't agree.
Before Xie Qingmo opened his mouth, Jinchen gave the answer.
The sound of Qingyue's sword suddenly rang out with strong anger, like a dragon's roar.
The sword body instantly transformed into a giant sword large enough to carry a person. It turned suddenly, and the tip of the sword, with a cold and sharp killing intent, pointed directly at Liu Qingcheng's face.
Zheng!
A strong sense of resistance and warning came towards him, along with the sharp sword energy.
Liu Qingcheng was caught off guard and his face turned pale by the sudden powerful sword energy. He staggered back two steps before he could barely stand firm.
He looked at the sword in doubt and uncertainty, as if it had its own will, with waves of fear surging in his heart.
[Haha, what a bold protagonist!] Ling Gungun blew air to increase the power of Chen Jian's sword energy.
"Xie Qingmo," Jinchen's threatening voice sounded in Xie Qingmo's mind, "Don't let anyone touch me."
Xie Qingmo: "...I don't have that idea."
"hiss……"
Xing Yan took a deep breath and exclaimed in a low voice, "My God... Second Senior Brother's sword has a bad temper, doesn't it?"
Lan Yi raised her eyebrows slightly, "But, he's so handsome..."
Shi Yan scratched his head, looking confused, not understanding why Second Senior Brother's sword suddenly became angry.
Yun Che frowned. Although he didn’t know why Liu Qingcheng suddenly wanted to ride with Xie Qingmo, he still had to calm down the tense situation before him.
He took a step forward, separating himself from the fierce sword energy, and said in a deep voice, "Qingcheng, Chen Sword has just been spiritualized, and may not be used to carrying people yet, so don't force it."
"You still ride with me."
Liu Qingcheng's chest heaved violently as he suppressed the surging humiliation.
He stared at the sword intently and suppressed his thoughts.
"...Yes, brother."
-
The town at the foot of the mountain is not big, but it is full of the atmosphere of life.
The bluestone roads on both sides were crowded with vendors, and the sounds of hawking could be heard one after another.
The air was filled with the aroma of food, sweat, and livestock.
In an inconspicuous corner, there was a talisman practitioner wearing a half-worn Taoist robe setting up a small stall. On the stall were some colorful talismans with thin spiritual energy. Most of them were small gadgets to fool mortals or low-level monks, such as cooling talismans, insect repellent talismans, and crude defensive talismans.
Xing Yan and Shi Yan were quite curious about the bustling market and gathered in front of the stalls to pick and choose, just to kill time.
Xing Yan picked up the talisman with twisted ice patterns on it and said, "This cooling talisman looks good. It will definitely keep you cool if you put it on your body!"
Shi Yan was more interested in the insect repellent talisman with a ferocious centipede on it.
[Host! This vendor has a treasure, which is one of Liu Qingcheng's opportunities in the original plot. If he gets it... Oh no, the Lord God will still be miserable. ]
Xie Qingmo had no interest in the talisman and was about to leave when his sea of consciousness exploded.
"Xie Qingmo, I want the talisman too." Jinchen called him urgently, and Chen Jian stepped forward to block him.
Xie Qingmo paused, puzzled, "What do you need this kind of talisman for? The spiritual energy in it combined is not as much as yours."
"Although the spiritual energy gathered is pitifully small, even a mosquito leg is still meat! Stick it on the hilt of the sword, buy it quickly!" Jin Chen urged relentlessly.
Xie Qingmo was silent for two seconds, then turned around and walked back to the simple talisman stall.
He glanced across the stalls and pointed with his slender fingers: "This, this, and this."
The cooling talisman, the spirit-gathering talisman, and the sword-nourishing talisman next to it, which is said to be able to warm up weapons.
"Okay! Sir, you have good taste!" The tattered talisman cultivator's eyes lit up when he saw a big customer coming. He quickly wrapped a large stack of talismans and handed them over, asking casually, "Who are you buying them for, Immortal? We have better ones..."
Xie Qingmo took the thick stack of talismans and said calmly, "Give me my sword."
"Ah?" Fu Xiu was stunned, thinking he had heard it wrong.
Xing Yan next to him: ???
"Wow, Second Brother bought so many talismans for the sword!"
He looked at the colorful stack of things in Xie Qingmo's hand, then at the ancient Chen sword at his waist, and sighed.
Lan Yi was startled at first, then she smiled softly with her hands covering her lips, with understanding in her eyes, "As expected of you, Second Senior Brother, you are really different and meticulous in treating my natal sword."
She felt that this was in line with Second Senior Brother's love for swords.
Shi Yan nodded vigorously, "Yes! If the sword is comfortable, then Second Senior Brother will definitely be comfortable! That makes sense!"
Xie Qingmo: “… Yeah.”
It sounds a bit strange, but it is indeed true.
The talisman cultivator took the money, beaming with joy. He then mysteriously took out a small cloth bag from under the stall, and opened it to reveal several talismans with much richer spiritual energy and more complicated runes. "Master, you are so generous! These are my most valuable treasures. They are real golden armor talismans and pure heart talismans. They are much more effective than those on the stall! Do you want them..."
Xie Qingmo glanced at the talismans and found that they were indeed more practical than the previous ones.
At this moment, Liu Qingcheng's voice came from not far away.
“Big Brother, look at that fruit. It looks so juicy and must be very sweet.” Liu Qingcheng pulled Yun Che’s sleeve and pointed at the expensive spiritual fruit on the stall next to him.
Yun Che looked at the price and took out the spirit stones, “Boss, one string please.”
"Thank you, Senior Brother! You're the best!" Liu Qingcheng immediately smiled, took the spiritual fruit, and turned to look at Xing Yan who was picking out a small, exquisite, but obviously flashy, low-level spiritual weapon dagger.
"Third Brother, this dagger is so beautiful, the gems on it are so pretty! What do you think?"
Xing Yan also thought it was pretty after hearing what he said, and subconsciously prepared to pay for it, "Ah? Oh, it is quite pretty, then I..."
Xie Qingmo retracted his gaze, frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Fu Xiu, "Give me six more of these practical talismans."
"Xie Qingmo, there is also that stone. Even though it is broken, it is still useful." Jinchen reminded, "Take them together."
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingmo picked up the inconspicuous stone next to the talisman and played with it for a while. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he did not show it.
After all, Jinchen wouldn't lie to me, Xie Qingmo thought.
Xie Qingmo: "And this, pack them all."
Fu Xiu was overjoyed and quickly wrapped it up and handed it over.
