Chapter 114: Flame Binding Pattern, Jade Appearance Follows

  This long sword of mysterious equipment is almost a top-grade mysterious equipment.

  On the mystic device, each additional layer of mystic patterns increases the difficulty by a lot.

  Xu Yang's Songwen sword was damaged during the confrontation with Hu Jianfu, and now this quasi-heavenly long sword is a timely help. However, he didn't accept it, staring at Lízhōu Píngdào: "Your Excellency, no reward without merit, one 'Yánshòu Dān' can't match the value of this sword."

  Lizhou Ping smiled slightly: "I'll give you this 'Guding Sword', it's a bet I'm making on the future, I'm betting that you'll reach the pinnacle and make a name for yourself. When that time comes, as long as you show some respect to the Li family, I'll have earned back my wager a thousandfold."

  Xu Yang smiled and grasped the floating [Guding Sword] in mid-air, saying: "What if you lose the bet?"

  Lizhou Ping said: "Lost a bet, but lost only one of the Earthly Stage Xuan equipment."

  Xu Yang put away the "Guding Sword" and hung it at his waist.

  Lizhou Ping's eyes slowly closed, and Xuyang knew that this was Linyuan Jun's way of sending him off. He bid farewell and walked out of the quiet room.

  Li Wang stepped forward and asked: "Xu Yang, what did your grandfather say to you?"

  Xu Yang shook his head: "Jun Hou didn't say much, he just gave me a Xuanwu sword, I'm very grateful."

  Li Wang looked at the ancient sword hanging from Xu Yang's waist and exclaimed, "Wow, this is the Ancient Decree Sword! A top-grade Heaven-tier artifact. I once asked my grandfather for it, but he said this sword wasn't suitable for a Wind Extreme Cultivator like me."

  Xu Yang examined the [Gu Ding Jian], its ancient and unadorned body gleaming with a dark yellow light, nine neat and mysterious markings engraved on the blade.

  "It's actually made of Jingjin, no wonder it can withstand the nine Xuanwen's might without collapsing," Xu Yang stroked the sword body, "This sword is indeed not suitable for Fengjiu Xuanzhe, among the nine Xuanwen on it, the three most powerful ones are 'Liefeng', 'Yanxie' and 'Poji', almost all of which are perfect matches for Huojin Xuanzhe... Heh heh, young master, I'll take it with a thick face."

  Li Wang was taken aback: "Xu Yang, you actually have quite a bit of skill in appreciating mysterious devices? You mentioned the three strongest patterns, I can only recognize the 'Liefeng' pattern, as for 'Yanfu' and 'Poji', I've never heard of them."

  Two people walked and talked, already far away from Lin Yuan's closed room. Xu Yang slightly hesitated, Huo Ji Xuan Li poured into Gu Ding Sword, and suddenly a mysterious line on it lit up.

  "This is 'Flame Bind'!" Xu Yang shouted in a low voice, Gu Dingjian drew out a sword flower as big as a sea bowl, the sword blade flashing with crimson light, the flame trajectory escaped from the sword and turned into a flame ribbon, winding around a small tree on one side.

  The next moment, the small tree was tightly bound by the flame ribbons. The most wonderful thing is that the fierce fire burning on the flame ribbons did not damage the tree trunk at all.

  Xu Yang's ancient Ding sword quivered, and the flame ribbon fluttered back, re-entering the ancient Ding sword, and the mysterious pattern dimmed.

  Li Wang clapped his hands and said, "Good guy, you just got the Gu Ding sword today, and you can already use this move! You're a real genius." From Xu Yang's previous move, Li Wang saw his terrifying control over his spiritual power, as if it were an extension of his own arm. Thinking back to the Sea Cloud Preliminaries, Li Wang had actually proposed a competition to see who could control their spiritual power better, and now he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

  Xu Yang smiled slightly: "As for the 'Breaking Strike' pattern, as long as the force is cleverly applied, it can exert the effect of piercing through the enemy's defensive hands." He was very satisfied with this ancient Ding sword.

  As for the first three moves of the Seven Kills Absolute Sword, Xu Yang was already quite familiar with them. Even without the help of a mysterious device, he could still use them now.

  Li Wang said again: "The eight characters that my grandfather entrusted to me are 'the vessel is not big or small, only the heart remains', what does it mean after all, I have always been unable to figure it out. Xu Yang, do you know?"

  Xu Yang shook his head and said: "This is a maxim that Young Master Hou needs to understand for himself, if I explain it, it will lose all its meaning."

  "Alright, I'm also overthinking things. I've always been afraid of disappointing Grandfather. I'll just figure this out myself."

  After a night of alchemy, visiting Lin Yuanjun and testing the sword, the eastern sky had already had a hint of whitish dawn.

  Xu Yang said: "It's already dawn, we should also set off. I don't know if Young Master Hou is ready, let's go to the Haiyun Branch together."

  Li Wang smiled and said: "Of course, I'll go say goodbye to my father now..." He hesitated for a moment, then said: "Xu Yang, please wait in the guest room for a while, okay?"

  Xu Yang found it somewhat strange that Li Wang didn't bring him along to pay respects to the Lord of Linchen City. However, this thought only flashed by and he shook his head saying: "I'll directly go to the Haichuan branch, Young Master, see you later."

  The two parted ways then. Li Wang went straight to the central courtyard to see his father, Li Bo Yan.

  The master of Lin Yuan Castle had a majestic and stern expression, unchanged as ever. Beside him, the imposing Lei Zhongxuan sat upright with an expressionless face.

  "A'wang, I heard you went to see Xu Yang again and asked him to refine the elixir?" Li Bo Yan let out a heavy hum, "How absurd! You think that your grandfather's predicament can be solved with just one Elixir of Extended Longevity..."

  Li Zhongxuan coughed loudly, interrupting Li Boyan's scolding. In the entire Lin Yuanjun Mansion, there were only two people who dared to do this - one was Li Zhouping, who had been in seclusion and never came out, and the other was him.

  "This Xǔ Yáng is just like the Xǔ Qīng Yuán from fifteen years ago, causing trouble everywhere! Not only did he kill nearly half of the elite young masters of Lín Yuān City, but also killed the young master of Péng family in Jù Yuán City? Whoever gets close to him will definitely be implicated." Lí Bó Yán didn't mention the topic of [Yán Shòu Dān], and instead said.

  Li Wang said angrily: "Father, Xu Yang also killed Peng Yaozong in order to save me and Yu Xuan Yu! If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't be seeing me now."

  Li Bo Yan let out a deep breath and continued: "Anyway, this Xu Yang, you keep some distance from him! You can socialize with him, but don't get too close! Got it?"

  Li Wang could only nod in agreement, feeling helpless.

  Li Bo Yan continued: "This time going to Donglai City, your second uncle expressed his willingness to follow. With him there, I don't have to worry about your safety either."

  Li Wang was somewhat surprised, he had always respected and feared Li Zhongxuan, in his impression, this second uncle was a detached and transcendent person who didn't ask about worldly affairs, unexpectedly this time he took the initiative to follow along.

  "A'wang, you are the eldest son of Linfu Jun's family. When traveling, it is not permissible to be slow and must have a reliable person to take care of your food and lodging. I think Yurong is suitable, so let her accompany you on your trip to Donglai."

  Li Wang's heart was filled with joy, and he said: "It would be best if Jade were here too."

  Li Bo Yan nodded and his stern gaze turned to Li Yu Rong: "Yu Rong, I'm entrusting Ah Wang's care to you."

  Li Yurong slightly furrowed her delicate eyebrows, then immediately hid them. This beautiful woman in a lake-green long dress glanced at Li Zhongxuan, who was standing upright like a pine tree, and softly said, "Yes."

  Next, Li Bo Yan instructed many things that need to be paid attention to during the selection. On the side, Li Zhong Xuan had already lost patience and left the hall with a raised foot.

  "Second Uncle..." A soft and timid voice came from behind, belonging to Li Yurong.

  "Anything wrong?" Lí Zhōng Xuān's eyebrows furrowed, he turned his head back, two sharp gazes swept across.

  Li Yurong lowered her head and said softly: "No, no..."

  Li Zhongxuan said: "Don't bother me if there's nothing important." He swung his sleeve and walked out of the door with big strides.

  Li Yurong stared blankly at the tall and straight back of the green-clothed figure, her autumn-like eyes flashing with tears.
