When Xu Qingtong heard Zhong Ziqing say that no one else could use the Fengyi Sword even if they seized it, he decided to be generous for once and offer the treasure to Zhong Ziqing.
Knowing his offer was insincere, Zhong Ziqing put on a solemn expression and said, "Do you mean that?"
Xu Qingtong's expression froze. This joke had gone a little too far!
"Uh, well, I think, with your abilities, Senior, you could probably stand above all of Central Province without this sword!"
"You say one thing and mean another, boy. That's no good!"
Blushing, Xu Qingtong scratched his head, unsure what to say.
"Normally, one must reach the Nascent Soul Realm to activate a spirit treasure. But you, boy, are a freak! With five golden cores, you can just barely use it. Besides, this sword's spirit is quite extraordinary and has already acknowledged you as its master, so you can unleash twenty or thirty percent of its power!"
As they were talking, Lü Wenqiu walked in. Xu Qingtong hurriedly rose and bowed when he saw him.
"Not bad, boy! You actually defeated the city lord of Linyue City, a peak Golden Core cultivator. Quite something!" Lü Wenqiu glanced at Xu Qingtong and spoke with casual bluntness.
"It was only luck!" Xu Qingtong lowered his head and spoke quietly.
"Even luck requires the strength to back it up! No need to be modest, boy. That girl Siwen has a good eye. I have high hopes for you!"
"Qingtong, go back and focus on your cultivation! Try not to go out for a while. Yuquan is narrow-minded and takes revenge for the slightest grievance. Be careful he doesn't strike at you from the shadows!" Zhong Ziqing said.
"Thank you for the warning, Senior!" Xu Qingtong bowed to Zhong Ziqing
