Chapter 1299 - 1296: An Unusual Grand Gift

Whoosh...

As soon as the sheathed precious sword appeared, the air in the entire hall subtly heated up.

Gu Xifeng glanced at Luo Feng and injected a trace of True Yuan into the precious sword.

In an instant.

Roar!

A fierce roar echoed in the hall, and the scales on the sheath of the precious sword all lit up. The sword had not even been unsheathed, yet it already emitted a terrifying aura, causing the nearby air to faintly distort, as if some fierce creature was about to break free from it, ready to strike.

Good sword!

Luo Feng’s heart stirred, and beside him, Xia Yunjing also stared unblinkingly at the sheathed sword.

Gu Xifeng withdrew her True Yuan and slowly said, "This sword is called the Fire Qilin Furious Spirit Sword. It’s a treasure I happened upon during my travels a few years ago. It’s a superior-grade sixth-grade precious sword."

Superior-grade sixth-grade Spirit Weapon!

Upon hearing this, Xia Yunjing took a deep breath, filled with envy for Luo Feng.

During the recent South-North Martial Arts Tournament, Fei Xueyan’s seventh-grade Spirit Weapon ’Cold Snake Sword’ demonstrated its power, significantly enhancing Fei Xueyan’s strength.

Having such a Spirit Weapon at hand can greatly enhance a martial artist’s strength, making them unstoppable.

This Fire Qilin Furious Spirit Sword, although not as formidable as the Cold Snake Sword, is still a top-tier weapon among mid-grade Spirit Weapons, a divine weapon that countless martial artists yearn for!

Although Xia Yunjing is a bow cultivator, she couldn’t help but be tempted by the Fire Qilin Furious Spirit Sword. If she were presented with a superior-grade sixth-grade Spirit Weapon, she would certainly accept without hesitation.

"Luo Feng, are you satisfied with this sword?" Gu Xifeng asked, looking at Luo Feng.

Contrary to Xia Yunjing’s expectations, Luo Feng did not immediately take the sword. Instead, he calmly looked at Gu Xifeng and said, "Elder Gu, since you’re asking if I’m satisfied, there must be other options. Could you tell me about those as well?"

Though Luo Feng was intrigued by this Fire Qilin Furious Spirit Sword, knowing that the Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber was merely a superior-grade fifth-grade Spirit Weapon, acquiring this Fire Qilin Furious Spirit Sword would likely enhance his strength considerably.

However, recalling the mysterious gift Shui Linglong mentioned earlier, Luo Feng felt that Gu Xifeng’s reward was not limited to this, and thus he did not make an immediate decision.

"Of course."

Gu Xifeng noticed Luo Feng’s expression and nodded, a trace of approval flashing in her eyes.

Since the end of the New Dragon Rank Tournament, she had already decided on a reward for Luo Feng, and bringing out the Fire Qilin Furious Spirit Sword was a test of Luo Feng’s character.

The path of martial arts is fraught with thorns. As a martial artist, one must maintain composure regardless of the circumstances. Otherwise, unexpected events will lead to panic, disrupting one’s mindset, making it difficult to achieve great success.

Judging from the recent display, in terms of mental fortitude, Xia Yunjing paled in comparison to Luo Feng. It wasn’t just Xia Yunjing; Gu Xifeng was certain that within the entire Canglang Dynasty, there couldn’t be another young talent with such composure.

In an instant, numerous thoughts flashed through Gu Xifeng’s mind, then she said:

"Luo Feng, you have two choices. The first is this superior-grade sixth-grade Spirit Weapon, the Fire Qilin Furious Spirit Sword. The second is that I will use the Chaos Hole Ten Thousand Water Technique to assist you in cultivation for ten days."

"Using the Chaos Hole Ten Thousand Water Technique to assist me in cultivation for ten days?" Luo Feng’s eyes flashed with curiosity.

Gu Xifeng nodded and said, "It’s widely known that the Chaos Hole Ten Thousand Water Technique can refine True Yuan into water, with a single drop carrying immense weight and power. However, few know of another application of this technique."

Buzz!

As she spoke, Gu Xifeng spread her palm, and the True Yuan around her surged, quickly turning into a tangible stream of water in her pristine palm.

"Water nourishes all life. Water is the most marvelous substance in this world. Just like rain moistens the earth, the True Yuan cultivated from the Chaos Hole Ten Thousand Water Technique can also nourish the body’s flesh, aiding in a martial artist’s cultivation."

Swish!

As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the stream of water in her hand instantly transformed into a transparent, massive water curtain, enveloping Luo Feng.

Just as the thought of dodging arose in Luo Feng’s mind, he immediately abandoned it, trusting that Gu Xifeng wouldn’t harm him.

The water curtain fell upon Luo Feng, and an unbelievable scene unfolded.

The water curtain seemed to have a life of its own, seeping into Luo Feng’s pores, disappearing completely.

Crack!

The moment the water curtain merged into his body, Luo Feng’s whole body erupted with a faint blue glow. His body suddenly felt several times heavier, causing cracks to appear on the Black Profound mining stone beneath his feet under the pressure.

More than just his body, at this moment, Luo Feng felt his True Yuan becoming extremely heavy, nearly to the point of halting.

"Start your inner circulation now."

Gu Xifeng’s voice rang out. Without any hesitation, Luo Feng immediately began the full exertion of the Divine Dragon Nine Changes.

Roar!

As the True Yuan circulated within him, Luo Feng’s body began to feel lighter and lighter, clearly sensing a refreshing power nourishing every muscle and sinew, his internal organs.

A moment later, completing one Grand Circulation, Luo Feng’s clothes were soaked, yet his body felt incredibly relaxed. The slight fatigue from his fierce battle with Cao Li vanished without a trace, and he felt refreshed, as if his True Yuan had increased somewhat.

"Refreshing!"

Luo Feng exhaled, looked up at Gu Xifeng, and said excitedly, "Elder Gu, I choose the second option."

"You must consider carefully. External force is ultimately external. The key to cultivation lies in the martial artist’s own efforts. I can’t guarantee what you’ll gain during these ten days. In the end, it might turn out to be all in vain." Gu Xifeng spoke slowly.

"I’ve already made up my mind. Please assist me in cultivating for ten days, Elder Gu."

Luo Feng didn’t hesitate in the slightest. No matter how powerful a Spirit Weapon is, its effectiveness is directly related to the martial artist’s own strength.

Even if a three-year-old child were to obtain a top-tier weapon, it would be nothing more than a piece of scrap metal.

Moreover, there will be plenty of opportunities to obtain Spirit Weapons in the future, but chances for cultivation like this are rare and shouldn’t be missed.

Such a choice requires no deliberation.

Gu Xifeng found Luo Feng’s response very satisfying and nodded, "Very well. At the hour of the dragon tomorrow, meet me at the base of West Islet Peak. The waters of Yao Light Lake contain the power of Sun Water, making it the ideal place for your cultivation."

"Thank you, Elder Gu!"

Luo Feng expressed his gratitude sincerely.

Gu Xifeng shook her head, "No need to thank me. This is what you deserve. If you had lost to Yunjing in the New Dragon Rank Tournament, I would have expelled you from Linglong Hall."

Luo Feng gave a wry smile. He gradually understood Gu Xifeng’s personality. She didn’t seem as formidable as he initially thought.

After taking his leave from Meteor Star Hall, Luo Feng hadn’t walked far when Xia Yunjing caught up and smiled, saying:

"Luo Feng, let me accompany you down the mountain."

On the way, Xia Yunjing gave Luo Feng an envious glance and said, "Luo Feng, you should really thank the master greatly; this gift is extraordinary."

Luo Feng asked, "How so?"

Xia Yunjing glanced back at Meteor Star Hall and explained:

"While the Chaos Hole Ten Thousand Water Technique can indeed aid martial artists in cultivation, it imposes a tremendous burden on the user. Prior to the start of the New Dragon Rank Tournament, the master assisted me using the Chaos Hole Ten Thousand Water Technique for a single day to boost my cultivation. It took her six to seven days to gradually recover. Now, she’s agreed to help you for ten days at the risk of needing at least three months to fully recuperate afterwards."

Luo Feng hadn’t expected this. He halted his steps and solemnly stated, "I will remember this."
