Gu Jian's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Xiao Jinyan to be so generous. She used the most famous sword in the Tianxing Kingdom, Yama.
He was not polite and took Yama Mo's hand, unsheathed the sword, and its hot temperature melted the surrounding snow.
"What a sword!"
Gu Jian couldn't help but exclaimed.
Although Zidian is somewhat damaged, as long as it returns to the Sea of Ten Thousand Swords Qi, it will be slowly nourished and repaired by the strong sword Qi contained in it. And now that he has gained a better Yama, his cultivation level will definitely increase greatly.
It is even possible to break through to the Dan Condensation Realm.
Xiao Jinyan looked at Gu Jian as if he had found a treasure, and it was really hard to understand.
After all, as the eldest princess of her kingdom, the sword she used the most since she started practicing swordsmanship was of the real level.
If it weren't for the fact that using the Xuan Sword requires the spiritual power of a master in the Yuan Dan Realm, she might not even bother to use the real sword.
"It will be dawn in two hours. You'd better get out of here quickly."
Gu Jian said to Xiao Jinyan, and then tied Yan Mo to his back.
"how about you?"
Xiao Jinyan asked.
"I haven't finished taking what I want." Gu Jian put on his mask again.
Xiao Jinyan was very surprised and asked: "Why did you steal so many swords?"
"Sell for money."
Gu Jian said casually.
"Okay, you must get the Panlong Cauldron back and never let it fall into the hands of the Li family."
Xiao Jinyan was a little speechless. She really wanted money rather than her life, so she could only remind her again.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of my things, and your veil..."
Gu Jian nodded, and just as he was about to return Xiao Jinyan's veil, the latter had already disappeared.
"He ran really fast."
Gu Jian was helpless and had no choice but to stuff the veil into his pocket and continue to lurk in Gu's house.
…
The sun is rising, Gu Mansion.
"Where is my sword?"
"Someone! Come quickly!"
"Who stole my sword?!"
When shouts and roars came from each elder's room, the Gu Mansion fell into a commotion.
The second master, Gu Zhenlei, the eldest elder and many other elders of the Gu family gathered in the meeting hall, their faces all extremely angry.
"There's actually been a burglar in the Gu Mansion. What did the servants who kept watch last night do for food?"
The great elder was sitting on the Taishi chair, with veins on his forehead exposed and the armrests broken by him.
The Li family of the royal capital gave him a high-grade sword, which was even included in the "Famous Swords of the Sky: Sword Chapter", but it was actually stolen while he was sleeping!
What's more important is that nearly twenty swords were stolen from their Gu Mansion overnight!
This is simply a shame!
"Great Elder, could it be that the Li family has gone back on its word and committed theft?"
The fifth elder asked cautiously.
"Nonsense! Why does the Li family exist? How could they take a mere dozen swords seriously?"
Gu Zhenlei wanted to slap the table, but found that both hands were broken and useless. He was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"Even if the Li family wants to take back the sword, they have to wait until they are gone before stealing it."
The Great Elder analyzed rationally.
"What on earth is that..."
"Okay, this is a bad thing for us. Let's pass on the order and keep it quiet. The old man's birthday banquet is important."
The great elder sighed.
As one of the three major families in Qingshan City, the Gu family would definitely become a laughing stock if word got out that it could be stolen like this.
…
And just when everyone in the Gu family was upset because of the theft of the sword, Gu Jian, who returned to Piaoxue Tower, had already refined all the eighteen swords taken from the Gu family.
What surprised Gu Jian was that the Li family was so generous, and four of the swords they gave away were top-grade swords.
After refining one of the high-grade swords, Gu Jian's cultivation level successfully broke through from the peak of the sixth level of Sword Qi to the early stage of the seventh level of Sword Qi.
With the help of the seventeen swords behind him, Gu Jian's cultivation level was pushed all the way to the peak of the eighth level of sword energy.
There is only one step away from the Dan Condensing Realm!
"It's your turn, Yama Sword!"
Gu Jian held the Yan Mo Sword in his hand and ran the Ten Thousand Swords Lingtian Technique to quickly refine the sword in his hand.
Bear!
With the disappearance of the Yan Mo Sword, blazing flames rose up in Gu Jian's Ten Thousand Sword Qi Sea.
I saw Yama, with flames burning all over his body, falling from the sky and inserting himself into the sea of ten thousand swords.
boom!
In an instant, the sea of ten thousand swords boiled and burned like a sea of fire.
As the sword energy of the Yama Sword is continuously absorbed, the sword energy in the Sea of Ten Thousand Swords Qi also continues to become saturated.
Snapped!
Along with the sound of some shackles being broken, joy appeared on Gu Jian's face.
"Breakthrough, ninth level of sword energy!"
The Yan Mo Sword is indeed the number one sword in the Tianxing Kingdom. After helping Gu Jian break through to the ninth level of the Sword Qi Realm, he still still has less than half of his sword Qi.
In the end, Gu Jian's cultivation level stabilized at the middle stage of the ninth level of sword energy.
After reaching the middle stage of the ninth level of Sword Qi, Gu Jian only needs to advance two small stages to prepare for the Jianxuan Realm, which is above the Sword Qi Realm.
"After I get back my Heavenly Star Token and Panlong Cauldron, I will set off directly to the royal capital."
Gu Jian secretly said excitedly.
"Speaking of which, my grandpa's birthday party should be at noon today, right?"
Mentioning his grandfather Gu Shanhe, Gu Jian's eyes showed a hint of complexity.
In the past, among the entire Gu family, except for his foster father and mother, Gu Shanhe was the best to him. In addition to daily upbringing, he often gave him guidance in martial arts.
If Gu Jian still has a trace of fantasy in his heart, it can only be Gu Shanhe.
But soon, Gu Jian shook his head again.
"No matter how good he was in the past, he still became indifferent and callous in the face of the interests of his close relatives and family."
Gu Jian sighed in his heart.
"Although I don't expect you to apologize to me, but because of the kindness you have given me in raising and teaching me, I will call you grandpa for the last time today. From now on, we will never have any ties of friendship."
After Gu Jian made up his mind, he found Mu Long and asked him to prepare medicinal materials for him.
"Master, are you trying to refine life-extending liquid?" Mu Long asked in surprise.
"Um."
"Master, why are you refining the life-extending liquid? Are you giving it to Gu Shanhe as a birthday gift?"
Mu Long frowned.
"Yes, this life-extending liquid will sever all ties between me and him."
Gu Jian nodded deeply.
"Disciple understands."
Mu Long expressed deep admiration for Gu Jian. Who could have such a mind of repaying evil with kindness?
However, in his opinion, even if Gu Shanhe lives a few more years, he will only spend the rest of his life in regret for betraying a peerless genius like his master. It is better to die early and be freed early.
"By the way, Master, thanks to the elixirs you provided, the main building of the King's Capital has informed me to go back and continue my duties. When your affairs are finished, I will set off to the King's Capital with you."
Mu Long said happily again.
"Yes, this is a good thing."
Gu Jian smiled and nodded.
"Then, disciple, go and prepare the medicinal materials." Mu Long resigned and left.
…
At noon.
The eightieth birthday of Gu Shanhe, the old man of the Gu family, officially started in the Gu Mansion.
The house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and it was full of joy.
As one of the three major families in Qingshan City, the Gu family has won the title of this Hundred Clans Talent Competition. In order to please the Gu family, all the dignitaries and families in the city rushed over to congratulate the old man of the Gu family on his 80th birthday.
All of a sudden, there was an endless stream of guests, and the doorstep of Gu Mansion was almost trampled on.
"The Wang Family of Qingshan City presents a painting of "Mountains, Rivers, Sun and Moon" worth one hundred thousand taels of silver, and congratulates the old man to be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains!"
"Qingshan City Shangzun Martial Arts School presents you with a copy of Huang Jie's middle-grade martial arts "Iron Wall Sword Technique". I wish the old man a happy birthday and may your future be blessed with boundless blessings!"
"Qingshan City Huwei Escort Bureau, I would like to present you with a high-grade sword. Congratulations to the old man for his smile and good health!"
Accompanied by the butler who welcomed the guests and reported gifts word by word, the dignitaries of Qingshan City came in droves.
Gu Shanhe was dressed in fine clothes, his face was full of joy, and he clasped his fists in thanks to the guests.
Beside him were the second master, Gu Zhenlei, the first elder, the first elder's grandson and Gu Hai.
The great elder's grandson is named Gu Feng. Although he is not as talented as Gu Jian and Gu Hai, at the age of seventeen, he has successfully opened up the Qi Sea and reached the Qi Refining Realm.
Gu Hai stood beside Gu Shanhe, his eyes proud and his body exuding incomparable confidence.
After taking the fifth-grade elixir, he had already broken through to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm, so neither his peers in the Gu family nor the warriors in the city were looked down upon by him.
After killing Gu Jian and avenging his brother Gu Yang, he will take the honor of his family and go to the royal capital to study!
Qingshan City is too small to satisfy his ambition!
"Gu Jian, Gu Hongye is here!"
At this moment, the steward's announcement made everyone change their expressions.
