After a good half-night of teasing and horsing around, Mo Caihuan—Immortal Mo—still hadn't managed to borrow many sect contribution points from her junior sister Xiaoli. And she still hadn't figured out how many contribution points the girl had, either.
What she did know was that the number was a mystery—one that made her intensely curious, yet left her utterly helpless.
Fortunately, after laying out outrageous terms like "pay back nine for every thirteen borrowed," her "reasonable" junior sister Xiaoli had reluctantly lent her a full thousand contribution points. That let her exchange them for a handy Beidou Seven-Star Sword, a Flowing Cloud Skirt, and some odds and ends she might need in a pinch.
After all, whether for her personal mission or her own feelings, Immortal Mo had to continue investigating and purging the Black Fiend Sect. And given that the enemy might have even more powerful leaders and a vast number of disciples, she definitely needed proper weapons and defensive gear.
The Seven-Star Sword she'd exchanged for might not have the overwhelming power and storied origins of the Frost-Cooled Nine Provinces or the Dragon-Catcher, the divine weapons she'd admired at first sight. But the Beidou Seven-Star Sword and Flowing Cloud Skirt were no ordinary items, either.
At the very least, that longsword, "forged from refined white platinum and decorated with the pattern of the Big Dipper," was certainly beyond the skill of the ordinary blacksmiths in Xujing.
And the "skirt said to have been woven from flowing clouds by the Weaver Girl, with extremely strong defensive power" that she'd just changed into was even more remarkable.
Last night, when she'd first exchanged for it, Junior Sister Xiaoli hadn't believed it. She'd fetched the gleaming cleaver from the kitchen and hacked away at Mo Caihuan without using any spiritual power.
