Chapter 98: Pay Attention to This Man Named Luo Shuanghan Who Likes Handling Other People's Swords

At the entrance of the Thunder Crystal Mine.

Luo Shuanghan stood proudly, dressed in white, hands behind his back.

The powerful aura of the Core Formation Realm naturally radiated from him, compelling those around him to feel an urge to worship.

Disciples nearby watched him from a distance, instinctively feeling a sense of awe.

They had seen Core Formation Realm cultivators before.

But this handsome man gave them a sense of oppression far beyond that of ordinary Core Formation Realm cultivators.

Clearly, he was not of common status.

Luo Shuanghan closed his eyes and meditated, not caring about the gazes from these people.

After a while, he heard a voice from ahead.

"I am Shen Mo, are you looking for me?"

Luo Shuanghan opened his eyes and saw a tall, slender young man with chiseled features walking towards him.

A strange look flashed in Luo Shuanghan's eyes.

Some people, with just one glance, can make others feel that they are extraordinary.

The young man before him was such a person.

"Luo Shuanghan, by order of the Prefect, I invite the Young Master of Qingxuan Sect to join the court."

"Here is a gift from the Prefect."

After speaking, Luo Shuanghan threw over a storage ring.

Elder Li, with a vigilant expression, stood in front of Shen Mo and caught the storage ring for him.

However, the force on the storage ring was immense.

Elder Li stumbled back more than ten steps before coming to a stop.

Her face was extremely unpleasant, and her right hand gradually turned red.

Shen Mo took the storage ring and said coldly, "Is this also the Prefect's intention?"

Luo Shuanghan smiled faintly, "I didn't expect that there could be such a weak Core Formation Realm cultivator."

Elder Li's face turned icy, "This is the first time I've seen someone inviting others to join the court with such a tone."

Shen Mo opened the storage ring and frowned immediately.

Inside were only three bottles of Great Stabilizing Pills and five hundred high-grade spirit stones.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were dealing with beggars.

"Fine, I've seen the Prefect's sincerity."

Shen Mo casually tossed the storage ring back.

But Luo Shuanghan didn't catch it; he turned and left.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want it. I've conveyed the Prefect's message. I'm heading to Heavenly Water Sect now."

After speaking, he turned into a stream of light and quickly disappeared.

The items in the storage ring were also beneath his notice.

Elder Li's face darkened, "Ji Shilong sent him here to disgust us on purpose!"

Shen Mo's expression remained unchanged.

He didn't understand Ji Shilong's thoughts.

But this Luo Shuanghan was clearly such an arrogant person.

Someone like him was not suitable for inviting talents.

"Ignore him, Elder Li. Take the items from the storage ring to the sect's treasury. I don't need them," Shen Mo waved his hand.

"Understood."

Shen Mo's mind conjured up Luo Shuanghan's life profile.

[Name: Luo Shuanghan]

[Realm: Peak of Core Formation Realm]

[Fate: Illegitimate Child, Fortunate Star, Escaped Death, Sword Dao Heir, Fondness for Boys, Extreme Yin Physique]

[Destiny: Stopping at the peak of Core Formation Realm. While competing with Xiao Fan for the position of Young Master of the Divine Sword Sect, he was tricked by Xiao Fan, expelled from the sect, and died in an ambush, filled with hatred.]

[Recent Opportunity: Today, after leaving the Thunder Crystal Mine, he will go to Flying Fish City to practice swordsmanship. At night, while crossing the Qingcang Mountains to Heavenly Water Sect, he will sense something unusual, land by a stream, and find a sword pill at the bottom of the stream, which will increase his realm and significantly enhance his understanding of the Sword Dao.]

Shen Mo carefully examined this person's fate.

[Illegitimate Child: Blue Fate. You are the illegitimate child of a prominent figure. Though you don't have a nominal father, you have lived in comfort since childhood. One day, you will compete for the position of Young Master of the Divine Sword Sect.]

[Fortunate Star: Orange Fate. You have been blessed since childhood, such as having a father who has never appeared but always provides abundant resources for your cultivation. You can easily overcome obstacles in your path.]

[Escaped Death: Purple Fate. You will encounter numerous dangers in your life but almost always escape alive until you meet an enemy with better fortune than you.]

[Sword Dao Heir: Purple Fate. You chose a sword during your infancy, have slept with a sword since childhood, and have extraordinary talent in the Sword Dao, often having unique insights while practicing swordsmanship.]

[Fondness for Boys: White Fate. Your preferences are quite unique and not conventional. You prefer practicing swordsmanship with your fellow cultivators and every time...]

[Extreme Yin Physique: Purple Fate. Your ice spirit root talent is exceptional, making your cultivation of ice attribute techniques and martial arts highly efficient.]

Shen Mo smacked his lips.

If he guessed correctly, this guy should be the illegitimate son of Luo Chaotian, the master of the Divine Sword Sect.

No wonder this person, who was clearly not a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, got involved in the competition for the position of Young Master of the Divine Sword Sect.

However, it was clear that this person's fate was not as strong as Xiao Fan's.

In the end, he still lost and died.

"This person must have been sent to Ji Shilong by Luo Chaotian. The Divine Sword Sect's attitude towards the government is quite ambiguous."

Shen Mo pondered.

From these clues, he could infer a lot of information.

By carefully analyzing, he could extract useful things for himself.

"Luo Shuanghan will stay overnight in Flying Fish City. Perfect, I'll go ahead and intercept his opportunity."

Shen Mo immediately left the Thunder Crystal Mine and entered the Qingcang Mountains.

Before long, he found the seemingly unremarkable stream based on the information from the life panel.

Calling it a stream was a bit generous.

It was so small that an ordinary person could easily jump over it.

It was hard to imagine that a sword pill would be buried here.

Shen Mo stretched out his hand, immersing it in the stream.

A trace of spiritual power surged out, connecting with the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, carefully probing the mud and sand at the bottom of the stream.

Moments later, Shen Mo's expression shifted.

He made a gesture with his hand.

Downstream, about twenty feet away, the mud and sand suddenly broke open, and a small sword with a metallic sheen emerged and flew into Shen Mo's hand.

Shen Mo examined it carefully.

At first glance, this item looked like it was forged from metal.

But in reality, it was neither metal nor wood.

To be precise, a sword pill should be called a sword core, condensed by those cultivators who pursued unconventional paths.

These cultivators were usually rogue cultivators.

They knew their own talents were average, so when forming their core, they chose unconventional methods, condensing weapon-shaped golden cores.

There were sword cores, blade cores, axe cores, and so on.

After condensing such a golden core, one could only specialize in that type of martial art.

That is, condensing a sword core meant one must practice swordsmanship.

Condensing a blade core meant one must practice bladework, and so on.

If not, it would go against their true nature.

Over time, the golden core would crack on its own, causing great harm.

Of course, there were benefits to condensing such a golden core.

Upon entering the Core Formation Realm, their combat power far surpassed those who condensed Five Elements golden cores.

Because these weapon golden cores were vastly different from the orthodox Five Elements golden cores.

Therefore, many cultivators did not call it a "core" but rather disparagingly referred to it as a "pill."

Thus, sword pills, blade pills, spear pills, and so on.

However, preserving a sword pill was also very difficult.

The cultivator had to die, but the dantian had to remain intact, and it also had to undergo the tempering of extremely high-temperature flames for it to appear.

Otherwise, most of the time, these weapon golden cores would shatter upon the cultivator's death.

The sword pill Shen Mo obtained was clearly very rare.

"I need to find a place nearby and start refining it immediately."

Shen Mo nodded with satisfaction.
