With a wave of Gold Sword Zen Ren t s palm, the hall was transformed into a mountain range manifested through spells, encompassing all the peaks of the Golden Sword Lineage, each annotated with a name.
About nineteen peaks around Golden Sword Peak had been named after direct disciples, all starting with the character ‘jin’ (gold). As for the other peaks, their names were quite mixed.
Only direct disciples of the Golden Core Real People were entitled to choose and name a peak within their lineage. Once named, it would be reported to the General Affairs Hall, and the map of the entire Liu Yun Sect would be updated.
Even if subsequent disciples fell accidently, these named peaks would be preserved and not renamed by others.
“You can choose any of those peaks that have not been named with the character ‘jin r Gold Sword Zen Ren reminded Lin Yi at this moment.
Lin Yi turned his gaze toward the virtual mountain range in the hall. His choices were limited to the peaks far away from Golden Sword Peak.
Among these, he saw Jin Qiao Peak, named by Xie Jing Xing, and Golden Glory Peak, named by Fang Shao Hui, who was ahead of him in cultivation.
But in front of Golden Glory Peak, there was an unnamed peak, likely reserved for him either by Master Gold Sword Zen Ren or Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng.
The spiritual energy atop these remote peaks wasn’t particularly strong. Probably, even the best cave mansion would only satisfy the cultivation requirements at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Zhou Yun Feng smiled and said on the side, “Lin Yi, the selection of mountain peak is just a symbol of status and won’t impede you in any way. Once you become one of the Foundation Building cultivators, you can select a cave mansion in Golden Sword Peak.”
Lin Yi nodded, not dwelling on it too much, and pointed to the peak in front of
Golden Glory Peak, saying, “Master, I choose this peak.”
Most disciples of the Golden Sword Lineage were generally concentrated around the ten peaks surrounding Golden Sword Peak. The further one went, the fewer disciples dwelled there.
Take Jin Qiao Peak, where he resided upon his initial entrance to the Inner Sect, for example. That peak was home to the fifteenth disciple of Gold Sword Zen Ren, and it already had very few cultivators living on it.
Seeing Lin Yi’s selection, Gold Sword Zen Ren slightly nodded, “Alright, let this peak be named Golden Yi Peak. Yun Feng, report this to the General Affairs Hall afterwards.’
“Yes, Master,” responded Zhou Yun Feng.
Golde Sword Zen Ren turned to Lin Yi and spoke, “Lin Yi, now that you’ve reached Foundation Establishment, it’s time for me to keep my promise. Here is the flying sword you requested. Let me know if it meets your expectations.”
Saying so, he brought out a flying sword. With a slight flick of his wrist, the sword shot towards Lin Yi. It was of dual cyan and purple color, emanating an extraordinary aura, with traces of thunder and lightning on one side, while the other side seemed quite calm.
Lin Yi caught it in both hands and sensed the aura of the sword, his face revealing a shade of excitement.
He could detect the presence of wind and thunder elements in this sword, and from the aura it radiated, this sword was clearly a top quality Spiritual
Artifact, just a step away from being a magical weapon which only Golden Core Real People could use.
A few years ago when Gold Sword Zen Ren asked him about any specific requirements he had for a flying sword, he merely mentioned that he would be satisfied if it contained either the thunder element or the wind element.
What he hadn’t expected was that his master had sourced a sword for him, possessing both the thunder and wind elements. It seemed to be a superior-grade flying sword, but was already infinitely close to a magical weapon.
“Disciple is thoroughly satisfied; I appreciate Master’s benevolence,” said Lin Yi, holding the sword and bowed deeply to Gold Sword Zen Ren.
A regular lower-grade flying sword costs a few thousand Spirit Stones, a middle-grade one costs over ten thousand, while high-grade flying swords settles at around fifty thousand. A superior-grade flying sword costs nothing less than a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
These prices apply to ordinary flying swords which do not contain any special strengths. Flying swords with wind or thunder—derivatives of the special attributes—are few and far between, and would multiply a spiritual artifact’s price many times over.
Moreover, this sword combined both wind and thunder attributes seamlessly. If available at an auction, its final transaction price wouldn’t be less than a million Spirit Stones.
Over the years, he had understood the forging of flying swords. If he wanted a sword to possess a certain attribute, he would have to find a special material that contained it and an Array Master to engrave the corresponding formation, and integrate the attribute perfectly into the sword.
Special materials containing any of the five standard elements, namely:
metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, were hard to come by. Let alone finding those with special attributes like wind and thunder.
Gold Sword Zen Ren gave a gentle nod, “I’m glad you’re satisfied. 1 know your attribute is wood, and both wind and thunder are derived attributes of wood.
Therefore, I decided to incorporate both into the sword.”
High and superior grade spiritual artifacts both have the capacity to grow. Even after you breakthrough and become a Golden Core Real Person someday, you can continue to use it.”
A tinge of envy flashed in the eyes of some who hadn’t been direct disciples for long, looking at the sword. This was especially true for Xie Jing Xing and others, who had recently sworn loyalty to Gold Sword Zen Ren, their eyes burning with desire.
A strong sense of jealousy surged in Xie Jing Xings heart. When he had reached Foundation Establishment, his master had only given him a high-grade flying sword with no special attributes..
