NOVPUB"I heard that not long ago, the Gu Family Master single-handedly annihilated the Green Sun Sect. Though the Sword Casting Sect has a long history, alas, our heritage is lacking, and all generations of our martial artists have been halted at the Blood Refining Realm.
Therefore, I would like to request the Gu Family Master to allow us of the Sword Casting Sect to glimpse the profound mysteries of superior martial arts." 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
At this point.
Shi Kai, fearing that Gu Qingfeng might misunderstand, hastily explained.
"The Gu Family Master can rest assured, my Sword Casting Sect is willing to pay any price. The Gu Family Master need only name it, and if it is within our means, I shall not hesitate!"
Superior martial arts are too precious.
It’s not that the Sword Casting Sect hasn’t had so-called martial geniuses appear over the years.
But what of it?
The limits of martial arts are what bind the limits of a martial artist.
If there is still a slight chance to obtain mid-grade martial arts, then superior martial arts are extremely rare.
With the foundations of the Sword Casting Sect, we have not been able to acquire any superior martial arts for hundreds of years.
After all,
with such rarity, even if the Sword Casting Sect expended all our resources, it would be difficult to obtain.
To put it more bluntly,
even if the Sword Casting Sect did acquire superior martial arts, there is no certainty that we could keep it.
This.
Is the sorrow of an ordinary power.
After Shi Kai finished speaking, Gu Qingfeng slowly began to speak.
"The importance of superior martial arts, I believe, is clearer to Master Shi than to myself. Such martial arts can become the Sect’s Ultimate Skill among many powers.
The Sword Casting Sect has forged a Divine Weapon for my Gu Family, and I should indeed be grateful, but as for superior martial arts, please forgive me, as I have no means to comply."
"I have been presumptuous!"
Shi Kai’s face betrayed his disappointment, but he quickly regained his composure.
Gu Qingfeng’s refusal was not unexpected to him.
After all, superior martial arts are precious, and it’s understandable that the other party does not wish to part with them.
Then,
Gu Qingfeng called someone to bring Gu Yang.
"I pay my respects to Father!"
"You accompany Master Shi to the storeroom and also pay the Sword Casting Sect ten thousand taels of silver as a token of our appreciation."
"In that case, I am most grateful to the Gu Family Master!"
Hearing the reward of ten thousand taels of silver, Shi Kai managed to squeeze out a smile and then followed Gu Yang to leave.
Unable to obtain superior martial arts but gaining an extra ten thousand taels of silver was not bad.
Watching Shi Kai’s departure, Gu Qingfeng’s expression remained indifferent.
"Superior martial arts... The Sword Casting Sect certainly dares to dream!"
Forging the Divine Weapon was already a negotiated exchange, and now giving an additional ten thousand taels of silver to the Sword Casting Sect as a token of appreciation was also fulfilling the Gu Family’s utmost duty.
Afterward,
Gu Qingfeng’s gaze returned to the blade in front of him.
The Divine Weapon was forged.
Sufficient to add a considerable boost to his strength.
"This sword shall be named ’Evil Slayer’!"
Gu Qingfeng grasped the hilt, and at the moment his vital blood surged into the long sword, he seemed to faintly sense a subtle resonance with the Divine Weapon.
Although this resonance seemed rather mysterious, it felt as if it truly existed.
Immediately,
Gu Qingfeng went to the backyard, wishing to practice the Seven Killings Blade Skills.
The Seven Killings Blade Skills consist of seven moves.
Canglong!
Baihu!
Vermilion Bird!
Black Tortoise!
Po Jun!
Greedy Wolf!
Seven Killings!
```
...
The fusion of the seven killing moves forms the Seven Killings Blade Skills.
The moment Gu Qingfeng’s right hand grasped the hilt of the blade, his entire demeanor turned solemn, his eyes cold and indifferent, with a hint of bloodthirsty killing intent emerging.
The next breath.
The long blade was drawn from its sheath.
The chilling blade light illuminated the backyard.
Silver serpents danced chaos!
Killing intent surged!
At that moment,
Gu Qingfeng seemed like a peerless god of slaughter descended into the world, the long blade in his hand like a demonic weapon that reaped lives across the earth, its overwhelming killing intent sweeping through like a torrential flood.
When Gu Yang arrived in the backyard at that moment, he was instantly overwhelmed by the startling killing intent, his body as cold as if he had been thrown into an ice cellar.
"What martial arts is this!"
Gu Yang’s expression was one of utter shock.
Even from a dozen yards away, the sharpness of the blade’s gleam and the terrifying killing intent were palpable, and the occasional stray Blade Qi made Gu Yang’s skin tingle with pain.
At this moment, in Gu Yang’s eyes, it was as if a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood was unfolding before him, causing him to stand frozen in place involuntarily.
A moment later,
Gu Qingfeng sheathed his blade, and only then did Gu Yang truly recover his senses.
At this time,
Gu Yang realized
that his back was drenched with sweat.
"Father!"
Gu Yang took in a deep breath, barely suppressing the tremble in his heart, and then couldn’t help but ask,
"May I dare to ask what martial arts Father was practicing just now? I have never seen it before!"
"This is the Seven Killings Blade Skills, considered an exclusive military skill. If you wish to cultivate it, I can teach you, but this art of the blade seeks enlightenment through killing and is not something just anyone can learn."
Gu Qingfeng did not shy away from revealing the origin of this blade technique.
Seven Killings Blade Skills!
Gu Yang nodded slightly.
Although the matter of the Black Xuan Guard being captured by the Gu family was a secret, he was well aware of it.
Obviously,
this Seven Killings Blade Skills was acquired from them.
Composing himself, Gu Yang did not dwell on the matter and continued, "Father, the new residence for the Gu Family has been found, here is the deed from the government office.
The land originally belonged to a faction known as Mingri Manor. Unfortunately, several decades ago, Mingri Manor offended a major power, and as a result, over three hundred and sixty people within were slaughtered to death.
Since then, Mingri Manor had been completely abandoned. Later-comers, knowing that many had died there, were unwilling to take over, believing the place to be inauspicious!"
"So when our Gu Family desired this land, the government didn’t ask for much, just symbolically took a hundred silver pieces and then sold the plot to us!"
A hundred silver pieces!
That was indeed a cheap price.
As for the inauspiciousness Gu Yang mentioned, Gu Qingfeng did not care.
"The so-called inauspiciousness is nothing but superstition. With enough strength, there is no need to fear any inauspiciousness. If you think that place is suitable, then let’s move there directly!"
"My son, I have already prepared the workers, and construction will start soon. I believe it won’t take more than half a month to complete."
"Hmm, leave these matters for you to handle," Gu Qingfeng nodded.
Currently, there were many affairs within the Gu Family he was too lazy to meddle in, preferring to let Gu Yang handle them.
For Gu Qingfeng, nothing was more important than cultivating his own strength.
However,
Gu Qingfeng still gave some earnest reminders.
"All other possessions are trivial compared to one’s own strength, which is the foundation of everything. Do not neglect your cultivation. Here are a hundred Blood Refining Pills, I hope you will cultivate diligently and strive to enter the Bone Refining Realm soon!"
"Yes!" Gu Yang said, bowing his head.
Afterwards,
the other party took leave to attend to his duties.
Gu Qingfeng also handed over the prepared Blood Refining Pills for him to take with him.
Nowadays, many of the elixirs meant as rewards were useless to him; if they could help the other party improve, then he would give them away, otherwise, it would be a waste to keep them.
