News of a Spiritual Weapon's Birth

"You broke through?"

Lü Lan was about to say something, but after sensing something, she looked at Ye Liuyun in surprise, examining him carefully.

Because he had just broken through, there was still residual internal energy on Ye Liuyun's body.

Coupled with the fact that Lü Lan herself was an Innate Realm Middle Stage martial artist, she could naturally sense some abnormalities.

Her eyes were filled with astonishment.

She remembered that when they first met, Ye Liuyun was still an Acquired Realm martial artist.

But how long had it been, and he was already on par with her.

Having followed Yan Shuzhu, Lü Lan wasn't unfamiliar with hearing about geniuses, but this was the first one she had seen with her own eyes.

"Just luck!"

Ye Liuyun didn't appear overly smug or carried away.

He just smiled easily. His pursuit was not just an Innate Realm Middle Stage; if he were to truly be happy, it would be when he broke through to Grandmaster, then he could celebrate properly.

"..."

But hearing Ye Liuyun say this,

Lü Lan looked at him speechlessly. How could there be such a thing as luck in practicing martial arts?

Didn't everyone walk step by step?

"You came to find me so late at night, is there something going on?"

Seeing that Lü Lan still wanted to ask about his realm, Ye Liuyun directly changed the subject.

If there wasn't something important,

Lü Lan wouldn't have chosen this time to find him.

"Not me, it's Your Majesty!"

Seeing that they were talking about serious matters, Lü Lan could only put other things aside for now and looked at Ye Liuyun solemnly.

"Your Majesty asked me to tell you that there is news of a Spiritual Weapon appearing outside the Imperial City. Many people are eyeing this Spiritual Weapon. Recently, the Brocade Guard will organize a team to search for it. Your Majesty hopes you can participate so that this Spiritual Weapon doesn't fall into the hands of other forces!"

"So that's how it is!"

Ye Liuyun first nodded in understanding. No wonder she came to find him at this time.

It turned out there was something real.

However,

"I also have a question."

"What?"

"What is a Spiritual Weapon?"

"..."

Lü Lan had thought of many things, but she had never expected Ye Liuyun to ask such a question.

Isn't this common sense?

Seeing the purity in Ye Liuyun's eyes, it was clear he wasn't teasing her; he was genuinely curious.

Forget it. Thinking that this person in front of her was highly regarded by His Majesty, Lü Lan patiently began to explain.

"Spiritual artifacts are formed by the condensation of spiritual energy between heaven and earth. They possess many wondrous abilities. Whenever a spiritual artifact is born, it is accompanied by the manifestation of spiritual light."

"Ah, I see!"

Ye Liuyun nodded in understanding. Simply put, they were weapons with special abilities.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun truly didn't know about spiritual artifacts, Lü Lan thought for a moment and picked up the bright silver longsword hanging at her waist.

"This Frost Jade Sword is a Middle-Grade Spirit Artifact bestowed upon me by His Majesty."

As she spoke, Lü Lan drew the longsword. With her movement, Ye Liuyun could clearly feel the surrounding temperature drop significantly.

The blade of the Frost Jade Sword glowed with white light, appearing even more sharp and formidable under the moonlight.

"Is this a spiritual artifact?"

It was indeed completely different from ordinary weapons. When he first saw the longsword hanging at Lü Lan's waist, he thought it was just for show. He hadn't expected it to be a spiritual artifact.

Ye Liuyun raised his hand, wanting to touch the blade of the Frost Jade Sword.

"Be careful!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun's action, Lü Lan tried to stop him, but it was already too late.

The moment he touched the blade, a wave of cold energy began to invade Ye Liuyun's arm. On the surface, Ye Liuyun's entire hand looked as if it had been frozen into a block of ice.

"The Frost Jade Sword carries its own cold energy. Ordinary people who merely touch the blade will be frozen by this cold energy."

Quickly sheathing the Frost Jade Sword, Lü Lan prepared to circulate her internal energy to help Ye Liuyun dispel the cold energy from his hand.

"No need for such trouble!"

Ye Liuyun wasn't some reckless fool. Since he dared to touch it, he had a way to deal with it.

His internal energy circulated, and his previously frozen hand began to turn faintly red and warm.

The cold energy that had enveloped his hand was evaporated by this internal energy, causing wisps of white smoke to rise.

In just a moment, Ye Liuyun's hand returned to normal.

"Is this the power of a spiritual artifact? It's really good!"

He had personally experienced the power of a spiritual artifact, and it was indeed unexpectedly impressive.

But when Ye Liuyun turned his head to look at Lü Lan again, he saw her staring blankly at his hand, which had already recovered, her expression distant.

"What's wrong?"

"The cultivation technique you practice is Azure Sun Force. Do you have the Extreme Yang Body?"

As Yan Shuzhu's personal guard, Lü Lan knew quite a bit.

Naturally, she understood this Azure Sun Force.

She just hadn't expected that the cultivation technique Ye Liuyun practiced would actually be this.

Moreover, looking at Ye Liuyun's method of circulating his energy, it was clearly incredibly proficient. With the Yang energy of an ordinary person, it would be difficult to even get started with Azure Sun Force. To reach this level, without a special physique, it would be impossible.

"Is there a problem?"

Ye Liuyun didn't deny it, but he was very strange about Lü Lan's reaction.

If he remembered correctly, this Lü Lan also had the term Extreme Yin Body. There was no need to be surprised by his Extreme Yang Body, right? Didn't everyone have a special physique?

"No... nothing!"

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Lü Lan ultimately shook her head.

The words her master had once said flashed through her mind.

Being born with the Extreme Yin Body, her cultivation speed would inevitably far surpass ordinary people. Breaking through to Grandmaster was only a matter of time.

However, solitary Yin does not grow. A single Extreme Yin Body limited Lü Lan's possibility of breaking through to Great Grandmaster. In the future, if she wanted to break through the Great Grandmaster realm, she could only find someone with the Extreme Yang Body. With the convergence of Yin and Yang, there would be no more bottlenecks.

Special physiques were inherently rare. Lü Lan truly hadn't expected to find someone with the Extreme Yang Body in this manner.

However.

She wasn't even a Grandmaster yet. Breaking through to Great Grandmaster was truly distant.

Furthermore, as a woman, if Lü Lan were to actually say these things, she always felt a bit embarrassed.

"Right!"

Ye Liuyun couldn't read minds, so he naturally didn't know what Lü Lan was thinking.

After thinking of something, he directly said.

"Whose will this Spiritual Weapon be after it's found?"

Ye Liuyun had no intention of working for free for others, even if the other party was the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Hmm?"

After coming back to her senses and realizing what Ye Liuyun was thinking, Lü Lan immediately said.

"You can rest assured about this. Your Majesty doesn't want people from other forces to obtain this Spiritual Weapon. If you can find it, then it will be yours."

"That works!"

If that was the case, then it wasn't bad.

Ye Liuyun nodded and agreed.

Lü Lan's original task was just to tell Ye Liuyun this information, and then she could go back.

But at this moment, Lü Lan hesitated for a moment, then still said to Ye Liuyun.

"Based on the spiritual light that appeared this time, many people analyze that this is likely a High-Grade Spirit Artifact."

Lü Lan's Frost Jade Sword was still a Middle-Grade Spirit Artifact. This High-Grade Spirit Artifact was clearly a level higher in quality than the Frost Jade Sword.

"There will definitely be many people fighting for it then. You'd best act within your capabilities. Protecting yourself is the most important thing."
