Chapter 29: Heaven Kylin Sword

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

“Hoy!”

Lu Li wielded the broadsword to try it out as he got more excited. In the old days, the broadsword was definitely a Xuan Artifact of a high rank. The materials used in casting this broadsword were remarkable. Just by touching it, Lu Li could feel a stream of cold air seeping into his bones.

“Heaven Kylin? Heave Kylin Sword!”

Lu Li saw the characters carved in the handle and instantly judged the sword to be extraordinary. The only Xuan Artifacts worthy enough to be given names were Earth Grade Xuan Artifacts. Human Grade ones were not entitled to be named.

“Such a shame…”

Lu Li looked at the cracked blade and sighed. Should the Xuan Artifact were not damaged, it would greatly reinforce the combat abilities of warriors by at least 30 or 40%.

“But, if it were not damaged, it would not be put here. I’ll take this!”

Lu Li carried the damaged broadsword longer than three feet and walked out. Lu Li said to the old man while making a bow, “Sir, can you give me this cracked broadsword? I will give you all my Golden Leaves.”

“Heaven Kylin Sword?”

The old man glanced over the handle and mocked Lu Li. “Hey bloke. This Heaven Kylin Sword is a Xuan Artifact of the Earth Grade. It was used by our previous Family Patriarch. Even if it is damaged, you don’t deserve to trade it. One hundred thousand Golden Leaves won’t be enough, let alone 100.”

“One hundred thousand?”

Lu Li’s jawed dropped out of astonishment. The cracked broadsword was so valuable? One hundred thousand Golden Leaves would make a small hill. How many beasts would he have to kill to get that kind of money?

“Put it back?”

Lu Li was not quite willing to do that. The broadsword weighed more than 2000 pounds and was built with unique materials. It could not have been damaged by some average Xuan Artifacts. Possessing this broadsword would enhance his combat abilities by a large margin. Should he had owned this broadsword when he fought in Di Long Tribe, he would have been able to kill a person with one move, and then Di Huo wouldn’t even have the chance to flee.

He bowed with his hands cupped in front of his chest and begged, “Sir, I really need this broadsword. What are the terms for me to trade it? I can pay back one hundred thousand Golden Leaves I owe you now later bit by bit.”

“No!”

The old man said with a dark face, “Rules are rules. If you are to pester me like this, I will throw you out.”

Lu Li bowed and said, biting his teeth, “Sir, please. I can give you anything you want. I only ask for this broadsword.”

“You want this, easy!”

Right at that moment, a pleasant girl’s voice came from the outside. A pretty purple image of a woman pushed the door open and came in. She looked at Lu Li by the door and said, “As long as you are willing to join the External Clan of the Family, I can let the Family grant you better weapons, let alone this cracked one.”

“Lady Yi…”

Lu Li smiled a bitter smile when he looked up to the maiden in purple. Liu Yi had come and had promised to give him good weapons. Only, the conditions were unacceptable to him.

“Lu Li!”

Lady Yi walked towards him while twisting her slim waist, and continued in seriousness, “You have an abnormal gift. As long as you can join the External Clan of the Liu Family, I will ask our Family to train and support you at full strength. You can ask for any pellets, weapons and Xuan Skills you want. In just a couple of years’ time, you are definitely going to be a powerful warrior of the Spirit Sea Realm. Or… you can even step into the Soul Pond Realm. By that time, you are going to be a powerful warrior famous in the Wu Ling County. The Liu Family will grant you with enough power and status. It is even possible for you to marry a lady of our immediate family.”

The terms offered by Lady Yi were surely enticing, and she even mentioned he could become the husband of a young lady in the Liu Family. For regular warriors, this was so appealing. After all, Liu Family was the Overlord of the Wu Ling City. Once married to a young lady in the Family, that would be like a skyrocketing rise.

“I apologize…”

Lu Li forced a smile and shook his head. Lu Ling had made it very clear to him. He would not waver even if this beautiful and distinguished Lady Yi were to marry him, let alone other young ladies of the immediate family.

“Fine!”

Liu Yi became upset and unhappy. She looked at the cracked broadsword in Lu Li’s hands and asked, “Do you really like it? Actually, it isn’t of much use now. It is cracked, and cannot be repaired. It’s no longer a Xuan Artifact anymore. Xuan Energy cannot be poured into it, and it cannot release Xuan Skill.”

Lu Li answered with certainty, “I don’t care if it is a Xuan Artifact or not. I like it. Lady Yi, can you help me out this time? I will remember your kindness in my heart and make due sacrifices any time needed.” 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

Staring into the eyes filled with passion, Liu Yi remembered how Lu Li rushed to help them with a stick in his hands when they were attacked by the Red Phosphorus Hawks. She thought about it and said, “Patriarch He [1], I will trade this sword for him. How much contribution points you need, you can deduct from me.” Liu Yi took out a Token. The grey-haired old man glanced over Lu Li with curiosity, took over the Token and poured Xuan Energy into it. A character of “Internal” glowed on the Token, followed by a series of numbers. But the amount reduced quickly by a hundred.

Lu Li asked out of curiosity, “What is that?”

Lady Yi offered explanation, “These numbers are contribution points. Any families are like this. You work for the family, you fight, and go on quests and all of these give you contribution points. If you join the External Clan, you will have ten extra contribution points free of charge every month. You will also get some if you are in the Guest Clan, but only one. You can trade contribution points for weapons, pellets, Xuan Skills and even ownership of a small town or tribes.”

“Oh, oh!”

Lu Li now understand. So, when they were pulling the coffins, the Escorts of the Liu Family supervising them also got contribution points. These Big Families were fair and just. As long as one contributed, did work or suffered from injuries in the process, they could get contribution points and trade them for good stuff.

“Okay, go back now. We will leave for the Ice Abyss tomorrow morning.” Seeing that her persuasion was of no use, Lady Yi had lost her will to talk and left.

On the other hand, Lu Li carried the Heaven Kylin Sword back to the Guest Clan with excitement. Upon returning back to the Guest Clan, Cheng Qu saw the Heaven Kylin Sword on Lu Li’s back and came over to ask Lu Li in surprise. When he learned that Lady Yi had traded it for him, Cheng Qu looked at Lu Li in a peculiar way and said, “You are good, you bloke. Lady Yi is the pearl of the Wu Ling County. She is the well-deserved No. 1 Lady of the Liu Family. She can break through to the Spirit Sea Realm at any time now. If you can win her heart, you will make rapid advancement in your future without a doubt.”

Hearing this, Lu Li’s face turned red in shyness and did not know what to say in response. Cheng Qu left with a laugh. Lu Li stepped into his small yard and Lu Ling was sitting there. Probably, she had heard the conversation between him and Cheng Qu and teased, “Lu Li, you have feelings for that Lady Yi? She is a good person, and kind of pretty. She can deserve you after some fashion. Of course… she cannot be your official wife. Lu Li, you have to remember, your official wife must be born out of a prestigious household. Only a real lady of a Royal Family of at least the Fifth Rank can be worthy of you!”

“Not this again…”

Lu Li rolled his eyes. Lu Ling always left some things unsaid, and never let him know the actual situation. If these words were not coming from Lu Ling, Lu Li would slap that person and smack some sense into him.

He closed the gate of the yard and started fondling the broadsword in his hands. Passion was visible in his eyes. Then he mobilized the Xuan Energy to his right hand. Instantly, he felt strength growing on that hand as he wielded the Heaven Kylin Sword.

“Swoosh, swoosh~”

He got faster and faster in using the broadsword. The blade made some sharp noise when waved. Lu Li got more and more excited. He moved around the yard and stirred dirt up all over the surroundings. Lu Ling was even choking a bit and she quickly walked back to her room.

“Nice!”

Lu Li stopped after a while. Lights flickered in his eyes, and his face reddened. He was immersed in pleasure. He looked towards Lu Ling who was standing by the door of her room, “Sis, with this sword, I can even say that I am confident to fight a warrior at the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm!”

Lu Ling walked towards him and gave him a black crossbow. She smiled lightly. “And take this Death Seeking Crossbow. You should have no competition among warriors below the Spirit Sea Realm. You must remember, as long as it’s an enemy, you should show no mercy and kill first, no matter whom!”
