THE SWORD

After the process completed, Li Jie opened his eyes slowly. the temperature of water was back to initial temperature.

Before, his eyes were pure black but now they have purple sheen to them and his slightly long hair had turned into silvery-white color.

His whole body was covered with dark, slimy and greasy substance which was emitting an awful smell. his inner cloth was also soiled by it. he was disgusted.

Instantly, he took off his cloth and began scrubbing the dirt off his body, it took him along time to clean all that greasy thing.

After cleaning up, he took a dip again too sooth all the muscles.

after dressing up, he asked the fox about his appearance. he himself felt that he has become more agile and has more stability. even his skin looked more paler than usual, not in a sickly way.

the fox looked at the breath taking appearance of Li Jie and fell into a trance, he has seen many beautiful people as he himself was a fox, it was in his nature but Li Jie looked exceptionally beautiful with his lazy charm, he looked like a deity who was looking down on everything, nothing can faze him.

ying ying haughtily said " just so so", he would never praise that insolent brat humph!!

Li Jie ignored the fox and began walking towards the cottage " hey, wait for me " ying ying cried out and ran towards Li Jie.

what looked like a normal cottage was actually quite big and beautiful from the inside. it was arranged very neatly and systematically , all the things inside the cottage were precious antiques from previous timelines, it was more like a museum than a simple cottage.

the cottage had many rooms after going through all the rooms he finally reached at the end of the hallway, that room looked old and dingy compared to other rooms. ying ying was saying something but Li Jie was not able to hear anything it was like he was in a trance, he just knew one thing and that was to open the door.

he pushed open the door, the room was unclean and was full of spider webs and dust was flying across the room, everything was odd about this room compared to other rooms this room has a chill to it that was not expected.

Ying Ying was shocked beyond belief when Li Jie opened the door so easily because till this day no one was able to open this door, most people even avoided this room due to its gloomy aura.

The whole room was like an ancient library it was full of scrolls about cultivation, medicines, cooking and all sort of martial arts skills. Li Jie was so immersed in this that he was not able to see the trace of astonishment on ying ying's face.

he was going through all this stuff when his gaze ended up falling on the sword that was lying in the corner of the room, that sword was longer than any sword he has seen, it looked rusted and dirt was set on the sword but it could not conceal the deathly aura of the sword.

Li Jie picked up the sword and was inspecting it with a curious gaze, due to the dirt and rust the sword looked blunt, when Li Jie touched the blade to taste its bluntness, a deep cut appeared on his finger and blood immediately rushed out falling on the sword.

the blood remained on the sword for a few minutes before vanishing.

Li Jie instantly dropped the sword and knelt down holding his head due to the sudden pain , all sort of information was coming in his brain. after few second, he stood up and picked up the sword which was full of lustrous shine not a speck of dirt was on its body.

" Purple Lightning sword " was written on the white jade handle of the sword.
