Peachwood Sword

Clearly, Lin Xiao doesn't have the guts for now.

However, he had a little idea in mind. He planned to take his father's cherished farm tools and rebuild them to see if he could combine them into a powerful set of farm tools.

At that point, his dad probably won't be able to beat him up.

That's too far ahead; what's urgent now is weaponry.

Lin Xiao activated the Item Synthesizer.

They placed peach tree branches and Spirit Stone inside.

Within a few breaths, the system notification sounded: [Synthesis successful, item has been sent to your private treasury, please check.]

Lin Xiao opened it and, as expected, found a peach wood sword.

Even though it was just a wooden sword, he was quite satisfied and quickly used the appraisal function on the peach wood sword.

[The Peach Wood Sword, officially named the Myriad Realms Unified Peachwood Sword, has an unremarkable appearance, looking like just an ordinary wooden sword. However, it actually possesses powerful exorcising abilities and is remarkably effective against demons and monsters. It is a high-grade Heaven Rank magical Law Artifact, and if used properly, its power is comparable to that of ordinary Law Treasure.]

Good heavens!

As expected, nothing from the system is bad.

Even a random weapon can be a top-grade Heaven Rank!

Although it is still Law Artifact, not Law Treasure, it is already at the very pinnacle of Law Artifact!

Lin Xiao took it in his hand. From its appearance, it was just an ordinary peach wood sword. No matter how carefully he examined it, if it weren't for the extremely strong Spiritual Power emanating from his palm, he would never have been able to tell from its appearance that it was actually a high -Heaven Rank magic Law Artifact.

He followed the same method and used the remaining two branches to make two more peach wood swords.

Then he got up, took a peach wood sword, and went to find Liao Pantu.

Liao Pantu, who was being visited for the second time late at night, was carefully studying "The Peach Blossom Spring Myriad Void Instruction".

Hearing the knock on the door, he quickly stored the manual into his soul and continued brewing the tea that had already cooled slightly on the table.

Then he Outer Dao, "Come in."

Upon seeing Lin Xiao enter the room, he subtly pursed his lips, coughed lightly, and asked him:

"Young sect leader, what's with you always coming to this old man's house so late at night?"

Lin Xiao walked to the table, raised the peach wood sword in his hand, and asked him:

"Senior, what do you think of my sword?"

Senior Liao glanced at the peach wood sword and said with a disdainful tone:

What are you showing me? A wooden sword that little dolls use for playing house.

Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised that he couldn't tell the grade of the peach wood sword at a glance.

"Senior, can't you tell the grade of this Law Artifact?"

"Oh, so this is a Law Artifact?" Liao Pantu asked calmly. "I'm not a master craftsman. This Law Artifact must have the ability to conceal its own energy fluctuations. It's normal that I can't tell."

The implication is, don't make a fuss and act like I have bad eyesight.

He then continued:

"Generally speaking, unless the material used to forge the magical Law Artifact is a leak-proof material with exceptionally good astringency, the craftsman usually has to put in a lot of effort to draw astringency patterns to obtain such Law Artifact."

As he spoke, he shook his head again.

"However, in either case, using it on a Law Artifact is too wasteful. If there were flawless materials, or a craftsman capable of drawing concealing artifact patterns, it would be much better to directly craft Law Treasure..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiao shoved the peach wood sword into his hand and asked:

What do you think of this sword?

Liao Pantu weighed the peach wood sword in his hand, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said:

"Wow, you're just a Foundation Establishment kid, yet you possess a Heaven Rank magic Law Artifact."

Lin Xiao then asked him:

Do you think this wooden sword is suitable for us?

Upon hearing this, Liao Pantu nodded and said:

"It's nothing to me, but for you little Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment kids, it's a rare and excellent weapon."

"Besides, this wooden sword isn't easy for others to wield, and its grade can't be determined by its appearance alone. It's perfect for weak little kids like you." Liao Pantu handed the peach wood sword back to Lin Xiao.

"For those below the Golden Core stage, this high- Heaven Rank magic Law Artifact is quite a treasure. Make good use of it; you can pass it on to your disciple when you no longer need it."

Lin Xiao nodded and accepted it, then put it into his private treasury.

In that case, he planned to go and pluck some more peach tree branches later, and give one to each of the other disciples.

Besides Senior Liao and Xiaoluan, there are still eight missing...

Lin Xiao thought about the massive, Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree; it should be able to withstand it, right...?

And so, the night passed.

Eight more branches have fallen from the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree, and the Lingxian Sect has gained eight more peach wood swords.

Early the next morning.

When Jiang Youfu went up the mountain, he saw peach trees by the mountain path, paused for a moment, and asked Tietou, who was going up the mountain with him:

"Do you see that our peach trees have become a little bald?"

Tietou Tou scratched the back of his head, looked up at the peach tree they passed by every day for a while, and then thought for a moment before saying:

"No, they all look the same to me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Youfu gently patted his little belly and nodded:

"I guess I ate too much last night and my eyes are playing tricks on me."

With that, the two headed towards the cultivation room and began their cultivation practice for the day.

Meanwhile, far away in the bustling streets of the capital of the Pusi Kingdom, an old man was enjoying tea in a teahouse by the window.

He is Song Jusheng, an outer sect elder sent by the Shangyang Sect to the capital this year to guard the capital.

He had just arrived in the capital today, and before even going to his post, he took a tour of the entire city.

When he arrived at the most popular teahouse in the capital, the Drunken Dream Teahouse, he saw that the teahouse was very grand, so after many years of not experiencing the worldly affairs of ordinary people, he decided to go and experience it for himself.

Although this teahouse is called Drunken Dream Teahouse, it doesn't just sell tea.

There were also street performers.

There are also various graceful dance moves.

The most ingenious thing is that the waiters waiting for you inside are actually a group of young girls in their prime.

But this is not the blatant brothel.

If you really treat those girls too badly, they might cry and complain.

However, it is precisely this semi-concealed state that makes this teahouse so wonderful.

A pretty young girl served him from the side, and the fragrant tea in her hands seemed to turn into an overpowering drink.

Song Jusheng felt extremely pleased.

No wonder the other elders in the sect didn't object to this humble post in the Mortal Realm. It turns out that as elders of the immortal sect, they could enjoy all the wonders of the Mortal Realm simply by holding the tokens given by the imperial city.

Although they were cultivators, they didn't care about the so-called imperial power of the Mortal Realm at all, and they didn't need to be restricted by the token sent to them by the imperial city.

If they truly intend to do something, even the royal family of this Mortal Realm cannot stop them.

However, the royal family of the Pusi Kingdom was jointly supported by three major sects: the Shangyang Sect, the Clear River Sect, and the Cloud and Mist Sect.

If one faction disregards imperial authority too much, the other two sects will naturally not stand idly by.

After all, the Pusi Kingdom can be considered the mortal foundation of these three sects.
