Where Is the Xuanyuan Sword?

"----If this really is the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, then there's no way for us to determine exactly which version of its setting we're dealing with. The movie? The novel? Or is it simply following the original Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?----"

"The differences in certain details between those versions are extremely----"

"No, Keren. Perhaps the versions you mentioned themselves aren't all that important."

He sat cross-legged on the dirt, laying the crutch across his legs as well.

The old man was over seventy, his face covered in deep and shallow wrinkles, even his eyebrows noticeably graying. He directly interrupted the middle-aged scholar beside him, who wore tall boots and a formal cap but happened to walk with a limp.

"The problem is that, among the world-setting information provided by the Main God, aside from Jinhua, Guobei, Zhiqiu Yiye, and the swordsman Yan Chixia, there's almost no obvious connection to the original A Chinese Ghost Story."

"By comparison, the plot of this Scar of the Sky you mentioned has clearly been given far too much weight! I believe that's the real crux of the main mission!"

"No, no, Old Zhan. I think there's a key point here: the Xuan-Yuan Sword!"

Of the three, the young woman in a dark crow-green Daoist robe clearly disagreed with him as well and quickly spoke up in rebuttal.

"If the plot of Scar of the Sky itself is connected to those ancient divine artifacts, then for now, not only do we users have no relevant clues, most of us probably lack the ability to delve into it directly."

"By comparison, the relatively low-level situation involving a scholar and a female ghost is more suitable for us to use as an entry point into the plot."

She clearly knew her own limitations.
