"Nephew Fang, please look at this long sword."
Zhao Tie points to a sheathed long sword on the far left.
This sword has a simple shape, the scabbard is in the shape of Dark Cyan, and there are cloud patterns circling on it.
The hilt of the sword is wrapped with unknown Dark Gold silk thread, and the hand guard is inlaid with a deep blue gemstone the size of a dragon's eye with a restrained color.
"This sword is named 'Cloudsplitter'."
Zhao Tie's voice was filled with a hint of awe.
"It is based on the fragments of 'Wind Nether Stone', supplemented by Wind Breath Copper and Star Sand. It was forged by a master of weapons training in our sect after spending three months of hard work. It is a Low-grade Dharma Weapon!"
"Low-grade Dharma Weapon..."
Fang Han's eyes were instantly attracted by "Cloudsplitter".
Even without touching it with his hands, he could clearly feel the vague sharpness that the sword body naturally exuded, as if it could easily cut through the air.
There is even a faint sense of agility that echoes <Mystic Wind Art>Internal Qi in his body.
"The biggest difference between Dharma Weapon and ordinary soldiers is that it contains Talisman Inscription, which can activate the power of heaven and earth to increase its power."
Zhao Tie continues the introduction.
"The characteristic of this 'Cloudsplitter' is that it is 'sharp'. The one who holds this sword can increase Sword Qi's power by 10% out of thin air in the world of the Grandmaster Realm!"
"And its material is special and extremely tough, capable of withstanding the power of an ordinary grandmaster level without being damaged."
"Grandmaster Realm, increase the power by 10%?"
Fang Han was shocked.
At his level, every improvement in strength is extremely difficult. This level of power is the difference between life and death at the critical moment.
And its toughness, which is enough to withstand the power of an ordinary grandmaster level without losing any weight, is what he values the most.
After the dust of the battle settled, the weapon was broken into pieces. Such luck may not happen next time.
You must never let your weapon be broken in battle, or something like this happen to you again.
"How much contribution does this sword require?"
Fang Han suppressed the throbbing in his heart and asked in a deep voice.
"Fifty thousand contribution value."
Zhao Tie looked solemn and slowly reported a number.
'Fifty thousand!'
Although he was mentally prepared, Fang Han's heart still shrank suddenly.
Although fifty thousand is not his entire net worth now, after exchanging it, there won't be much left.
Originally, he planned to keep the contribution points and exchange them for Lineage for some skills.
Now, I have to invest everything in one sword. Is it worth it?
The image of Flowing Wind Sword shattering flashed through his mind again, and his eyes instantly became firm.
"I changed."
Fang Han's voice was calm, but with unquestionable determination.
Take out Identity Token and hand it to Zhao Tie.
Zhao Tie Deacon A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then turned into admiration.
Fifty thousand contribution points is by no means a small amount for Tianjiao True Disciple. How could Fang Han be so willing to do so.
He took the token with both hands, skillfully operated Transmission Jade Inkstone, and drew away 50,000 contribution points.
'Only 10,000 contribution points left.'
When the token was handed back, the number above had changed from the previous 60,000 to a dazzling 10,000.
Fang Han put away the token silently, feeling like his heart was bleeding.
"Fang True Disciple, this sword will belong to you from now on. I hope you will hold this Dharma Weapon and show my Azure Profound Sect power!"
Zhao Tie solemnly took out the sheath of "Cloudsplitter Sword" and presented it with both hands.
As soon as you take the sword into your hands, Fang Han feels a perfect fit. The scabbard is warm to the touch, and the hilt is of moderate size, fitting perfectly into the palm of your hand.
He slowly unsheathed his sword three inches, and a terrifying sharp aura spread out. The sharp aura made his skin faintly tingle.
There are two simple small characters on the sword body near the guard: Cloudsplitter.
"What a sword!"
Fang Han praised sincerely, and most of the frustration caused by the huge consumption of contribution points in his heart seemed to have dissipated.
With this sword in hand, his strength will increase by at least 10%!
Hanging Cloudsplitter Sword around his waist, taking the place of Flowing Wind Sword in the past, Fang Han thanked Zhao Tie Deacon and left Armory Hall.
The sun is shining, and the Cloudsplitter Sword on the waist glows with a restrained and dangerous brilliance under the light and shadow.
Although it cost a full 50,000 contribution points, it was obviously worth it.
As for redeeming the exercises for Lineage, after all, there are still more than two months before the end of the year.
In these two months, even if he did not do tasks, he could still earn a large amount of contribution value by virtue of General Ranking's ranking, which was enough for him to exchange exercises for Lineage.
In the True Disciple annex where Nether Pavilion and Gong Xing are located.
A middle-aged man with a lean face sat opposite Gong Xing.
This person's surname is Lu, a Deacon who is responsible for external intelligence within the Nether Pavilion, and was bribed by Gong Xing with huge profits.
"Lu Deacon, you are in such a hurry, but do you have any news about what I asked you to inquire about?"
Gong Xing put down the tea cup in his hand and asked with a slight frown.
He has been feeling restless recently and always feels like there is a dark cloud hanging over him.
Lu Deacon lowered his voice. "Master Nephew Gong, we just received a secret report from the Azure Profound Sect's spy. Fang Han returned to the Azure Profound Sect safely yesterday, and... does not seem to be injured."
"Have you returned to the sect?!"
Gong Xing The tea cup in his hand fell on the table with a clang, Tea splashed on his clothes, but he didn't even notice, and his face suddenly turned miserable.
"And safe and sound?"
"Yes, the news is absolutely accurate."
Lu Deacon affirmed.
Gong Xing stood up suddenly and paced back and forth in the hall, breathing rapidly.
Fang Han returned safely? What about Gou Laosan? Did he miss it?
Gou Laosan is Fourth Grade Late Stage. He is good at assassination and has a lot of experience. How could he miss it?
Or maybe Gou Laosan hasn't started yet?
He forced himself to calm down, took out a stack of banknotes and handed them to Lu Deacon, saying.
"I understand. Please also ask Lu Deacon to continue to pay attention to the Azure Profound Sect's news. If you have any news about Fang Han, please inform me immediately. I will thank you in due time!"
Lu Deacon accepted the banknote. He vaguely guessed what Gong Xing was doing, but he had no intention of prying.
What Gong Xing wants to do has nothing to do with him. He is just providing some information. Even if the Gong Xing incident happens, it will not implicate him.
"Must go to Qingyang Black Market!"
After Lu Deacon left, Gong Xing could no longer maintain his composure.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and he had to confirm the situation of Gou Laosan immediately!
After leaving Nether Pavilion, he hurriedly put on an inconspicuous gray robe, put on a bamboo hat, covered his face, and went straight to the Qingyang Prefecture black market.
The black market is still noisy and chaotic, filled with all kinds of shady transactions.
Gong Xing came to the simple shop where Gou Laosan stayed on the same day. There was only one lazy shopkeeper taking a nap in the shop.
Gong Xing lowered his hat, changed his voice, and asked hoarsely, "Is Gou Laosan here?"
The waiter raised his eyelids and glanced at him lazily. "Looking for Mr. Gou? He took a big job a few days ago, went out, and never came back."
"Never came back?"
Gong Xing's heart sank to the bottom.
"Do you know where you went?"
The clerk waved his hand impatiently. "How can I inquire about Mr. Gou's whereabouts? Maybe it's because the work is difficult and it's delayed. You have to look for him and come back to see him in a few days."
"How many days has it been since you returned?"
Gong Xing's uneasiness turned into fear. He suppressed his fear and hurriedly left the shop.
Walking in the dirty and narrow alleys of the black market, Gong Xing felt that the hustle and bustle around him had turned into a harsh noise, and everyone who passed by looked at him with scrutiny.
Gou Laosan has not returned for several days. Combined with the news that Fang Han has returned safely, the result is almost self-evident--
Gou Laosan has a high probability of missing, and may even be dead!
Two million taels of silver were wasted!
More importantly, Fang Han must have been alert, and Azure Profound Sect has probably launched an investigation.
Although Gou Laosan does not know his specific identity, Rain Listening Hall of the Azure Profound Sect is not a vegetarian.
There is no guarantee that Gong Clan's recent abnormal fund flow will not be discovered.
In order to raise money, Gong Clan secretly sold off several high-quality properties!
"Can't sit still and wait for death!"
A chill shot up from the soles of his feet to the sky, and Gong Xing felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Paying a murderer to assassinate Azure Profound Sect Tianjiao True Disciple is a taboo that touches Azure Profound Sect and even the bottom line of every sect!
Once the matter is exposed, Nether Pavilion will never protect him. After all, he also violated Nether Pavilion's taboo. By then, both he and Gong Clan will die without a burial place.
Escape! You must escape! Escape immediately Qingyang Prefecture!
This is the only way to survive!
No matter how powerful Azure Profound Sect is, it is mainly concentrated in Qingyang Prefecture. As long as he escapes to other counties, or even leaves the scope of Qingyang Prefecture, and remains anonymous, there may be a chance of survival!
Once this idea arises, it spreads like weeds.
"Whoosh!"
Gong Xing could no longer care about anything else and ran as fast as he could, leaving the black market and speeding away in the direction of the Gong Clan Manor.
He must convince Lineage as soon as possible to sell off all properties that can be sold immediately, convert all assets into cash, and move the entire family away from Qingyang Prefecture as quickly as possible!
Time passed and it was already the first day of the new month in a blink of an eye.
Within the Azure Profound Sect, True Transmission Courtyard No. 35 Annex.
Fang Han is checking this month's rewards.
As General Ranking's ranking improved to eighth, the resource quota he received this month also increased.
True Transmission Courtyard Deacon Zhou Heng personally delivered the reward: 19,000 contribution points and three bottles of Golden Vajra Pill.
Seeing the contribution value of Identity Token reaching 29,000, which is close to 30,000, and seeing the three bottles of precious Danyao in his hand that can significantly strengthen the body, Fang Han let out a long sigh of relief.
This is undoubtedly a timely return of blood, which greatly alleviates his "financial deficit" caused by exchanging Cloudsplitter Sword.
There are still two months before the end of the year, which is enough for him to collect enough contribution points to redeem the exercises for Lineage.
The next day, the second day of the new year.
The sky was slightly bright, and Maid Qui Lan held the new issue of <Prodigy Ranking> and <Martial Artist Ranking> books that still smelled of ink, and walked lightly into Quiet Room.
Fang Han took the book and opened <Prodigy Ranking> first.
"Sure enough, he has been removed from the list."
His eyes swept from top to bottom, and at the ninety-fourth position, the original "Chu Feng (Azure Profound Sect)" had disappeared, replaced by another unfamiliar name.
Chu Feng's name is nowhere to be found on the entire list.
"Wang Miao, No. 88."
His eyes continued to move upward, and Fang Han landed on the eighty-eighth position: Wang Miao (Azure Profound Sect).
This senior brother who took good care of him improved his ranking by three places, reaching eighty-eighth.
The progress is quite significant.
"Eighty-one."
In the end, Fang Han's eyes were fixed on the 81st position, where it was clearly printed: Fang Han (Azure Profound Sect).
Eighty-one! A full eight places higher than last month!
Although he had expected it, he knew that his ranking improvement of Prodigy Ranking this time would not be small. After all, Prodigy Ranking ranked 82nd and Yin Huang was defeated by him.
But seeing this ranking with his own eyes, a trace of satisfaction still flashed in his eyes.
