Bingzi Jiaolin

Having said that, Yan Qing walked out of Anguo Temple without looking back, took off the Yellow Dog mask, and walked openly on Vermillion Bird Avenue.

Yaoshi Yuan followed closely behind.

Ying Ru Shi glanced at An Wu, thoughtfully, and walked out.

Shang Xin Lei waved at An Wu, carrying a large bag, and followed them, skipping and jumping.

After they left, the nobles naturally swarmed out the door. They fled the most famous temple in Chang'an as if escaping a disaster, escaping into the sunlight, looking at the crowded streets and the boundless sky. No one knew who started crying first, and then the crying became contagious. These noble children, who used to be high above and domineering, knelt on the ground and wailed.

The monks who fled with them looked terrified, like cockroaches and bugs exposed to the sun, disappearing into the alleys.

After Xue Yan came out, he saw An Wu still counting down and asked, "An Wu, are you going to leave after you finish counting down?"

An Wu ignored him and continued to count down: "Nine, eight, seven..."

"You saved us. I want to invite you to my house as a guest. Don't worry, even if your injuries can't be cured, I can support you for the rest of your life!" Xue Yan said, "And it may not be incurable. I heard that some Heralds can revive the dead and regrow flesh..."

"Five, four, three, two, one."

When An Wu counted down to the last number, Xue Yan suddenly felt very flustered for some reason. He grabbed An Wu's shoulder, "You've finished counting, you can leave now, let's go!"

However, no matter how hard Xue Yan tried, An Wu's body remained motionless. He ignored Xue Yan and looked down at the candle at his feet.

He had carefully protected the candle, and it had never been extinguished.

"Aren't you leaving yet, you little brat, do you want to die?"

At this moment, Xue Yan was suddenly dragged away. He turned his head and found that it was Yang Third Miss, and he immediately became anxious: "Let go of me, I want to carry him away, he—An Wu and An Liu saved us—"

"So don't follow them to martyrdom!" Yang Third Miss scolded, "You little brat, haven't you seen that they never intended to leave alive from the beginning!"

"But we can't... how can we be so rash..." Xue Yan became incoherent, and suddenly snot and tears sprayed out together as he spoke: "Don't they value their own lives!?"

"I don't know either..." Yang Third Miss's eyes were also a little red, "But don't you think it's strange? They don't need to sleep, they don't eat, and they're not afraid of pain... He also said that he just hopes the world will operate according to his wishes..."

"If there really is a god in this world, then that god... might be like this, right?"

People who had escaped but hadn't gone far all turned their heads to look at the figure in the gate of Anguo Temple.

They saw An Wu sit down cross-legged, facing the gods and Buddhas, with his back to the mortal world.

The red candle fell, igniting the fire oil on his body, burning him into a torch brighter than the sun.

At the same time, An Liu, An Qi, An Ba, and An Jiu also sat down, using candles to ignite the fire oil on their bodies, and then the fire oil on the ground was ignited by the flames on their bodies. In just a moment, the entire Anguo Temple was engulfed in flames, and thick smoke billowed up, as if the raging fire was burning away all sins.

In the First Noodle shop, less than a hundred meters away from Anguo Temple, Yan Qing finished drinking the delicious soup of the wonton noodles with satisfaction, raised his hand to call the waiter over, and then took out a Spirit Jade: "Is this enough to pay the bill?"

"Enough, more than enough!" The waiter swallowed and didn't dare to reach out: "Sir, your Spirit Jade can buy a hundred bowls of noodles, we don't have enough change."

"Keep the change." Yan Qing said, "If someone asks you if you've seen us later, just say—"

"Understood, there are so many people today, I can't remember clearly!"

"No, just tell them," Yan Qing stood up, carrying Bingzi Jiaolin and the sack, "we are from the Thieves' Den."

Thieves' Den?

The waiter was stunned, and had to nod in agreement.

He gave so much money, might as well just go along with him.

Yan Qing wasn't trying to show off, he just didn't want his actions to involve others. He didn't like others causing him trouble, and he especially didn't like causing trouble for others, that was his rule of the game.

"Fire!"

"Anguo Temple is on fire!"

Shouts of alarm rose around the noodle shop. The waiter looked up and saw that Anguo Temple was indeed on fire.

He suddenly remembered that the customers at that table seemed to have just come from Anguo Temple with something. And everyone was carrying large sacks, so it was less like picking up something and more like…

However, the waiter scanned Vermillion Bird Avenue and couldn't find any trace of that group of customers.

Strange, those four customers were quite conspicuous, how could they disappear in the blink of an eye?

Thieves' Den.

While the Heralds of Chang'an City were rushing to Anguo Temple to put out the fire and investigate, Yan Qing and the others had already returned to their seats in the Thieves' Den. And just like when they first arrived, they couldn't leave their seats and could only wait for the Thieves' Den to complete its process.

The sand table on the stone table had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a weapon floating in mid-air, none other than—

Bingzi Jiaolin!

Orange-red streamers of light flowed and danced around it like small fish, and the light of the heavens rushed into its body, as if the Creator was reshaping this long-dormant weapon. Yaoshi Yuan and the others stared wide-eyed at the changes in Bingzi Jiaolin, this was the first time in their lives they had witnessed how a Relic was created!

When the streamers of light faded and the radiance was exhausted, Bingzi Jiaolin slowly stood in the air.

Clang!

Bingzi Jiaolin was suddenly unsheathed, the stunning blade light made everyone close their eyes, as if a supreme being was baptizing it, completing the final transformation of the legend!

When the light dissipated, everyone opened their eyes and saw that the Buddhist verse inscriptions on the blade glowed with an orange flame-like light, with 'All conditioned dharmas are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows' engraved on the left, and 'Like dew and lightning, so should you observe them' on the right.

At the same time, the Thieves' Den also listed the information of Bingzi Jiaolin in the air light curtain, so that the four of them knew the detailed information of this weapon:

「Bingzi Jiaolin」
「Rank: First Transition Legend」
「Durability: 100/100」
「Base Attack Power: 15~25 points」
「Equipment Condition: 10 Vitality, 10 Soul」
「Equipment Condition: Basic Saber Technique MAX」
「Weight: Two Jin Three Liang」
「Length: Three Chi Two Cun」
「Effect·Bestowal: You can share the authority of Bingzi Jiaolin to your allies. The bestowed weapon will gain 50 points of damage bonus, lasting for 10 attacks (whether it is a normal attack or a Relic attack) before it expires. If the bestowed weapon is a saber and not a Relic, then the saber will transform into the appearance of Bingzi Jiaolin, and the bestowal effect is doubled. Bestowing a weapon requires continuous consumption of 100 Spirit Jade.」
「Effect·Pillar of the State: Your allies' strength is your strength. If there is an ally equipped with a bestowed weapon within fifty meters, Bingzi Jiaolin will be strengthened, and the base attack power will be increased by 30 points, up to eight enhancements. You can consume 20 Spirit Jade to activate Pillar of the State, so that the weapons that have been bestowed within fifty meters will regain the bestowal effect, with a cooldown time of 60 minutes.」

"Effect · Overturning the Heavens: Even alone, you can turn the world upside down!

You need to consume all your current Spirit Jade to activate Overturning the Heavens. Once activated, all enfeoffed weapons within a fifty-meter radius will be directly destroyed. Your injuries will instantly recover, and you will unleash a shockwave to repel surrounding enemies and projectiles.

Your attacks can unleash Overturning the Heavens saber rays ranging from three to thirty meters in length, dealing damage equivalent to one to seven tenths of your base damage. The further the distance, the lower the damage. You can adjust the length of the Overturning the Heavens saber rays.

Overturning the Heavens lasts for ten seconds.

For every enfeoffed weapon destroyed, your base attack power will be additionally increased by 50 points, and the duration of Overturning the Heavens will be extended by three seconds.

Before the Overturning the Heavens effect ends, you will be in an 'unshakeable' state, and any displacement, stun, or interruption effects will be difficult to apply to you."

"Evaluation: Thunder, lightning, rain, and dew are all the Emperor's grace!"
