Chapter 116
[Lifespan increased by 200 years.]
In the Spirit Sea, Lianxin spoke in a clear, adult male voice, saying gently, "My circumstances were special at the time, so I couldn't explain properly, but I know..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
Li Yang deliberately asked him, "What do you know?"
[Lifespan increased by 200 years.]
Lianxin said softly, "I know you see me as..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Yang said, "A super important person." She and Lianlian share a life, so she couldn't be more important!
[Lifespan increased by 200 years.]
Lianxin buried itself in layers of clothing and remained silent.
Faced with everyone's friendliness, even Chen Ri's cold, steely face seemed to blush slightly.
She had never been so happy.
An indescribable joy.
They were looking at her, not to assess her price, nor to admire her rarity and power, but simply to look at her.
Because she is Li Yang's friend.
So she became their friend.
"What a magical feeling," Chen Ri couldn't help but grasp Li Yang's hand.
Li Yang felt the cold, hard, and icy mecha hand in her palm and squeezed it back tightly.
Jiang Yuqing couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Don't you want to know what Li Yang encountered in the Sword Tomb?"
Of course everyone wants to know!
The moment he spoke, everyone stared intently at him.
Li Yang: "..." Alright, since he's taken his mental recovery pill, let him have his fun.
Li Yang didn't intend to keep it a secret from everyone in the Department of the Nature Department.
These are things they need to face together; keeping them hidden will only cause trouble.
Just like Blue Crystal Soil, she will also tell everyone in the Nature Pavilion about the Masterless Sword.
Jiang Yuqing finally seized the opportunity, and he began by talking about entering the Sword Tomb.
Everyone was stunned when they heard that Jiang Yuqing had been captured by the Life Domain Overlord.
[Zhong Kun's Shock Points increased by 100 points.]
[Shock Points from Lin Zhaoqin increased by 100 points.]
[Shock Points increased by 50 points from Fang Chuyun.]
[Shock Points from Yu Hongyuan increased by 20 points.]
Even a tiny mosquito is still meat!
Jiang Yuqing did not find it offensive.
Then, Jiang Yuqing talked about how Li Yang and Qingchen were wreaking havoc in the Death Domain. He said that the mechs in the Death Domain were so fierce and cruel that any other Star Wielders would only die if they went in, but they actually found a way to counter the Death Domain mechs!
At this point, Li Yang added, "Everyone, take note. If you encounter a similar situation in the future, you can try using your mental power."
Other elemental types have relatively low Spirit Points, so they are less likely to use their spirit power in battle unless it's extremely difficult to remember.
However, the Nature Department is different. When cultivating both physical and mental strength, you shouldn't just focus on using your Physique Points.
Everyone took notes diligently, their eyes fixed on Jiang Yuqing, hoping he would speak soon.
Jiang Yuqing then brought up the Secret Realm of Life Domain, and when he mentioned that the Life Domain Overlord wanted to strip him of his own will, he glanced at Chen Ri with a slightly guilty look.
Li Yang did not stop him, so Jiang Yuqing continued talking.
Everyone was terrified, especially after learning that Li Yang had replaced Jiang Yuqing...
Yu Hongyuan said, "You coward!"
Jiang Yuqing said awkwardly, "Well said."
[Shock Points from Yu Hongyuan increased by 100 points.]
Jiang Yuqing: "I, this coward, just ran away! But Li Yang stood in the auction hall, facing more than 20,000 Masterless Sword, fearlessly questioning the Life Domain Overlord..."
He glanced furtively at Chen Ri again and continued, "The Life Domain Overlord yearns for freedom, but Li Yang asked her, 'What exactly is freedom?'"
He almost perfectly repeated what Li Yang had said at the time.
Li Yang herself was getting a little nauseous listening to it, but the others were completely captivated.
That's amazing!
Senior sister (or junior sister) is really amazing!
With Jiang Yuqing's narration, everyone finally learned about Li Yang's entire experience on this trip to the Sword Tomb.
It was truly a series of twists and turns, a near-death experience!
Lin Zhaoqin imagined it for a moment; if she were to go there, she probably wouldn't even be able to get out of the Death Domain.
She thought she was pretty strong, but compared to her senior sister, she was still... nothing at all!
As they talked, everyone couldn't help but glance at Chen Ri every now and then.
So, the Chen Ri is the Life Domain Overlord!
So she was that domineering Eighth Grade Star Weapon!
Oh My God!
Li Yang has brought back the master of the secret realm!
Li Yang didn't let the Mecha Doll avoid her; she wanted Chen Ri to know this.
When Li Yang used the Spirit Severing Space, he couldn't control the details and could only make a single, decisive cut.
Being trapped in auctions and repeatedly resold was extremely painful for Chen Ri.
Within the Sword Tomb, however, Chen Ri has his own kingdom and his own glory.
Li Yang wanted her to remember these things, which is why she asked Jiang Yuqing to explain them in such detail.
Chen Ri seemed to have some recollection of it, but she was not disturbed by those extreme emotions and remained calm and composed.
Jiang Yuqing Li Yang fought a fierce battle against Eighth Grade Star Weapon.
The Nature Department was completely silent.
Li Yang explained, "It's all thanks to Master Chen's secret treasure."
As she spoke, she took out the "Risking Life" pen and handed it to Qingchen.
Qingchen shook his head and said, "You can take it... but be careful not to burn it too much. Also, this treasure has a limited number of uses; unless you have specific materials to repair it, it may not be usable more than a few times."
After thinking for a moment, Li Yang didn't stand on ceremony with Qingchen.
This treasure is still quite dangerous for Qingchen.
If you don't use it properly, you could really lose your life.
Because of the limitations of this secret treasure, its market price won't be too high, especially since it has been used so many times.
But for Li Yang, this "Risking Life" was incredibly useful.
She will try to find materials to repair it completely, so that it won't be ruined.
Hearing that Li Yang was fighting against the Life Domain Overlord, everyone in the Nature Department was already shocked enough.
However, what happened next was even more shocking.
Jiang Yuqing said, "...27,520 Masterless Sword, Li Yang brought them all back."
[Shock Points from Lin Zhaoqin increased by 200 points.]
[Zhong Kun's Shock Points increased by 200 points.]
[From...]
Jiang Yuqing had a great time!
This was the first time he had ever gotten so much Shock Points from someone else!
The Nature Pavilion was completely silent; even the sound of the wind blowing through the gauze curtains sounded harsh.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Kun murmured, "I thought a hundred rounds was the limit..."
Yu Hongyuan was utterly astonished. "Senior Sister... she actually brought back a Sword Tomb!" He was clearly too narrow-minded; this wasn't flattery, it was simply stating a fact!
Li Yang paused for a moment, then corrected Yu Hongyuan: "To be precise, it's half."
The Sword Tomb is divided into the Life Domain and the Death Domain.
The Masterless Sword of the Death Domain cannot be brought back.
Everyone: "..."
Jiang Yuqing: "..."
The most fatal flaw is the subtle display of arrogance; he lost.
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 250 points.]
After the initial shock, a blissful unease arose in everyone's hearts.
Feng Yiqiao's voice trembled. "So many Masterless Swords... what are we going to do?"
This was also what Li Yang most wanted to tell everyone. She said solemnly, "These Masterless Sword are free; they do not belong to anyone."
After hearing this, everyone calmed down.
Li Yang's attitude was very clear; although she had brought out more than 20,000 Masterless Sword.
But she never considered selling them.
Li Yang dared not release them yet, fearing that someone with ulterior motives would kidnap them all.
Only after Li Yaowan recovers to the Eighth Grade Realm and is able to protect the Nature Pavilion will she gradually release all the Masterless Sword.
She will respect their choice when the time comes.
Li Yang said to everyone, "Here's what I'm thinking: once the Masterless Sword appears, you can go and contact them. If you get along well, I'll help you form a contract. This contract won't be a master-servant relationship, but rather a comradeship forged through life and death."
Li Yang hasn't discussed this in detail with the sword spirit yet, so he can't promise everyone that it will be transformed into Growth-Type Divine Weapon.
But she felt that there shouldn't be any major problems with Blade & Soul.
Li Yang did not want to enslave the sword spirit, but rather wanted to establish a cooperative relationship with it.
For example, after Blade & Soul helps transform a weapon into Growth-Type Divine Weapon, they will pay him for some of the things he needs.
However, the number of people in the Nature Department is limited, Masterless Sword is enormous.
Li Yang explained her plan, saying, "Once we can cultivate Blue Crystal Soil on a large scale, we will also be short-handed."
Everyone was stunned, and it took them a while to catch up with her train of thought before they asked, "You mean, let the Masterless Sword farm the land?"
Li Yang nodded and said, "I will respect their wishes, but... they probably won't refuse, right? After all, financial freedom really is a great freedom!"
Chapter 116
The Nature Pavilion is quiet again.
The expressions on the faces of the Nature Department were all identical: first, their mouths agape in surprise, then they began to imagine the scene—more than twenty thousand Masterless Sword toiling away on the fertile Blue Crystal Soil...
The scene was so beautiful, they were about to lose control!
Qingchen and Jiang Yuqing, still unaware of the situation, asked curiously, "What is Blue Crystal Soil?"
Li Yang didn't explain in detail, only saying, "It's a type of soil that can accelerate planting."
Qingchen and Jiang Yuqing didn't think much of it, simply assuming it was a special kind of fertilizer.
Jiang Yuqing was also imagining: nearly 30,000 perfectly uniform advanced mechs farming in the outer city of the East District... Damn! That's going to generate Shock Points!
Even a passing dog would be shocked!
