Let's See if Your Swords Are Sharp Enough

Lu Yang stared at the suddenly appearing panel information, paused for a moment, and then revealed a surprised smile.

I didn't expect Yingying to complete the random task so quickly?

It was much faster than he had imagined. He had originally thought that Yunxue would be the first to complete the mission, since Yunxue was the strongest among his many lovers.

Yingying, on the other hand, focuses on Dao of Alchemy and is relatively weak in combat, so she should have a harder time completing the mission.

Surprisingly, Yingying was the first one to be discovered.

He glanced at the mission rewards and raised an eyebrow slightly.

My luck wasn't very good.

His reward was Low-Level Investment Contract?

In the early stages, this thing might still be somewhat useful to Lu Yang.

But now, Lu Yang really doesn't care about this reward.

After all, the Investment Contract requires a certain period to return the rewards. If it's just an investment up to the Foundation Establishment Realm, that's fine, but if you choose to invest up to the Nascent Soul Realm, the investment period can be measured in centuries.

Although choosing the Nascent Soul Realm in the Investment Contract will yield a 50-fold return, the return rate is not low.

However, too much time has passed. A hundred years later, even Lu Yang himself doesn't know what his strength is or how many good things he can possess.

This thing is less useful to him than something like Longevity-Enhancing Pill.

Maybe we can just give it to our parents later.

Lu Yang didn't glance at the Low-Level Investment Contract again, but instead looked at the other two rewards.

Although this Low-Level Investment Contract didn't quite meet Lu Yang's expectations, it provided a significant amount of Universal Experience and even gave him 0.5 intelligence, which was a pleasant surprise.

As for Lin Ying's reward, it was no different from before.

Perhaps because the task was quite difficult, the reward was substantial in terms of three-dimensional attributes, which was also a form of growth for Lin Ying.

Lu Yang added the Universal Experience to the Spirit Root experience bar, and the experience points exceeded 10,000 again.

However, upgrading now requires 1 million Universal Experience, so it will take some time.

After closing the panel, Lu Yang thought for a moment and decided not to look for Lin Ying. After all, if she really encountered danger, he could go there at any time through the Spiritual Connection Ring. Now that he didn't know where she was, it would be a bit troublesome to look for her.

Just as Lu Yang was pondering, a surge of Spiritual Qi suddenly emanated from afar.

This made Lu Yang look up. He saw a sword light shooting into the sky in the distance, and he was very familiar with the fluctuations of Spiritual Qi.

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly.

Is it Nanyue?

What a coincidence, we actually ran into each other here.

But Nanyue actually made a move; I wonder what she encountered?

Filled with curiosity, Lu Yang flew in that direction.

Deep within the dense forest lies a vast lake, its waters sparkling and spanning hundreds of kilometers in circumference.

In the middle of the lake is a small island, and on the island is a dilapidated palace.

Qin Nanyue carried a long sword on her back, stood on a flying sword, glanced around, looked at the map in her hand, and finally focused her gaze on the central area of the lake.

She raised an eyebrow and murmured, "A disciple of our sect previously discovered Sword Dao Cultivation Method Secret Manuals here. This should be a Ruins left behind by Sword Dao sect. I wonder if there are any Sword Dao Law Treasures here..."

Unlike Lin Ying and the others, when Lu Yang left the sect and returned to Eastward Prospect Mountain, Qin Nanyue was in seclusion. After Lu Yang gave her a task, she immediately found Mo Xianyun and asked her to help find some information and maps about the Ancient Yue Secret Realm.

In addition, she even sent a telepathic message back to the Qin Household, asking them to provide a map of their clan.

Over the years, many cultivators from the Qin Household have entered the Ancient Yue Secret Realm. Even the Qin Household patriarch Qin Che, had obtained many fortuitous opportunities within the Ancient Yue Secret Realm and had a fairly good understanding of it.

The combination of these two factors allowed Qin Nanyue to immediately pinpoint several Sword Dao Ruins within the Ancient Yue Secret Realm that appeared to possess Golden Core Realm inheritances.

Sword Dao Law Treasure are generally only used by the Golden Core Realm cultivators. To obtain such Law Treasure, one would naturally need to seek them within the Golden Core Realm lineage.

Of course, it would be even better if one could encounter Nascent Soul Realm inheritance.

Unfortunately, over the years, the number of the Nascent Soul Realm inheritances discovered within the Ancient Yue Secret Realm can be counted on one hand.

This is the second Sword Dao Ruins Qin Nanyue has visited so far. The first one yielded nothing; everything inside had already been looted.

She could only hope that the second attempt would yield some results.

Just as Qin Nanyue was pondering, she had already arrived at the island in the middle of the lake.

As soon as she landed, she saw that there were already three groups of cultivators in the ruins.

Of these three groups of cultivators, three were disciples of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, four were disciples of Nine Nether Valley, and three were disciples of the Great Void Sword Sect.

At this moment, the three parties faced each other, and the atmosphere within the ruins was quite heavy.

Upon seeing Qin Nanyue land alone, the three parties immediately looked over warily.

Qin Nanyue's stunning beauty and heroic demeanor drew several glances from the male cultivators present, a hint of amazement flashing in their eyes.

The female cultivator couldn't help but feel a pang of envy and jealousy.

Just then, one of the young men from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain looked at Qin Nanyue and felt that she looked somewhat familiar. He frowned and transmitted his voice to his two fellow disciples. "Don't you guys feel like we've seen this fairy from the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect somewhere before?"

Upon hearing this, the other two disciples from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain were taken aback. Then, one of the female cultivators from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain seemed to remember something and transmitted her Sound Dao, "I remember now! Before we entered the secret realm, this fellow Daoist seemed to be standing next to that Young Master Lu."

Upon hearing this, the other two disciples of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain felt a chill run down their spines, and the hairs on the back of their necks stood on end.

The disciple from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain who spoke first immediately transmitted his Sound Dao, "I remember now, they were standing very close at the time, their relationship seemed unusual! Perhaps they were dao companion or relatives?"

Another robust disciple from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain immediately took a deep breath and transmitted his Sound Dao, "That young master is someone our ancestor specifically instructed us not to offend and whom we must befriend! If this fairy is his relative or friend, then we must help her. If we can befriend her, it will definitely benefit us!"

The other two disciples from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain agreed.

While the disciples of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain were exchanging messages, the disciples of the other two sects did not share this idea.

A tall, handsome disciple from the Nine Nether Valley raised an eyebrow, a wicked smile appearing on his face, and said, "Fairy, aren't you afraid of being surrounded and killed by us all here alone?"

Another disciple from Nine Nether Valley laughed and said, "Fairy, you're quite beautiful. Why don't you follow my Senior Brother Xu? We can even protect you!"

"That's right, our Senior Brother Xu has Supreme-Grade Spirit Root. Although he's not as good as Mu Yunxue from your sect, he's still a top genius in Qin Province, a future Nascent Soul True Lord!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Nanyue raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over the laughing and joking cultivators from Nine Nether Valley, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

She was Lu Yang's woman; how could she tolerate others making such jokes?

Of course, even if she weren't Lu Yang's woman, he wouldn't allow her to speak to him like that.

Perfect timing! Let's test the power of the Heavenly Trace Sword Canon I've mastered.

Just as Qin Nanyue was about to make a move, the Great Void Sword Sect cultivator who had been silent suddenly narrowed his eyes.

The leader was a beautiful, tall, and aloof female cultivator. Looking at Qin Nanyue, she suddenly asked, "You... seem to know that person from your sect who insulted my sect's ancestor? What's your relationship to him?"

Insulting the patriarch of the Great Void Sword Sect?

Who is it?

Qin Nanyue paused, glanced at her, and a hint of confusion crossed her usually dashing face. "Who are you talking about?"

"Still pretending?! Weren't you right next to that man? That handsome man!" the aloof female cultivator said in a cold tone.

Upon hearing the words "handsome," Qin Nanyue immediately understood.

It must be Lu Yang.

A strange feeling arose in Qin Nanyue's heart.

When did Lu Yang ever insult the patriarch of the Great Void Sword Sect?

Didn't the patriarch of the Great Void Sword Sect leave on his own?

However, she didn't bother to think too much about it and said, "You mean Lu Yang? I'm his dao companion, so what?"

Upon hearing this, the three members of the Great Void Sword Sect immediately brightened up. Qin Nanyue clearly felt that their Sword Qi had become sharper and more murderous.

"So you're his dao companion? In that case, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Nanyue's expression immediately turned cold. "Oh? You want to kill me? Then let's see if the swords of your Great Void Sword Sect are sharp enough."
