Deep inside the mine.
A remote mining tunnel.
Gu Qingshan crouched in a dark corner and drew the Tide Sound Sword. "Tide Sound, I want to see if I can borrow your power."
—If "Jade Tree Deep Shadow" could let him master the abilities of a longsword and raise them another level, that would be simply inconceivable!
