"This... What the Sect Master said is true!"

Recalling the events half a month ago when he was so furious at Su Zhan that he almost coughed up blood, Chen Changfeng's mouth twitched, and he smiled bitterly.

"I've been overthinking. Su Zhan, the abnormal guy who casually created a powerful sword technique, is really not something I need to worry about..."

Upon hearing Chen Changfeng's words, Qin Jincheng's eyes brightened. "Right, Junior Brother Chen, have you ever asked Su Zhan for guidance on the Starfire Flowing Light Sword Technique?"

"Sect Master, are you asking me to...?"

"Cough, cough!"

Qin Jincheng appeared somewhat embarrassed. "I just want to understand the benefits of Su Zhan's sword technique. If it's convenient for you, Junior Brother, please help me inquire about it sometime!"

"Why don't you ask him yourself, Sect Master?"

"Well... this is an order! Aren't you listening to the words of your sect master?"

Qin Jincheng said with a determined face.

"Fine then..."

Chen Changfeng looked helpless.

...

In the treasury of the Yuntian Sword Sect, Su Zhan was choosing treasures.

First was a storage ring.

He switched to a larger one with an internal space of a thousand cubic meters.

Next, a sword.

Although he had condensed the Great Sun Star Sword, Su Zhan was still in the early stage of the Barrier Master Realm, and his Great Sun Star Sword was not yet stable enough. It would take more time to nurture it. Additionally, with his current cultivation level, using the Great Sun Star Sword would consume a lot of his true qi. Therefore, he still needed another sword as a backup.

His gaze swept over the Xuan-level swords, carefully sensing the engravings on each sword.

If he wanted to fly with a sword, the engraving "Controlling the Emptiness" had to be present on the sword.

Of course, this restriction didn't apply to his Natal Sword.

"The Extreme Yang Sword, a mid-grade Xuan-level sword, made of sun iron, enhancing the power of fire attribute true qi..."

Su Zhan held the Extreme Yang Sword in his hand, examined it, and decided that this would be his sword.

Next, he chose several other treasures.

For example, a Xuan-level jade pendant that could resist poisonous insects and withstand water and fire.

Wind Boots, a Xuan-level item that increased speed and made the body more agile.

And various special medicines for healing and restoring true qi.

After registering them one by one at the entrance.

Su Zhan collected all the treasures into the storage ring, causing the deacon in charge of the treasure to look at him with envy-filled eyes. He then used the Extreme Yang Sword to fly away and disappear into the distance.

Three days later.

In the central square of the main hall at the peak of the Yuntian Sword Sect.

Chen Changfeng was preparing to leave with Su Zhan.

"Ahem, Junior Brother, are you forgetting something?"

Qin Jincheng coughed and spoke up.

"Forgetting something? Oh! I remember now!"

Chen Changfeng suddenly realized and said to Su Zhan, "Su Zhan, the Sect Master wants to ask how you understand your Starfire Flowing Light Sword Technique!"

"Hmm?"

Su Zhan was momentarily stunned and looked at Qin Jincheng, whose face turned red with embarrassment. "Sect Master, do you want to learn my sword technique from me?"

At this moment, Qin Jincheng hoped he could find a hole to hide in.

Damn, I am the sect master of the Yuntian Sword Sect!

This bastard Chen Changfeng just blurted it out...

And Su Zhan, how can I answer your question like that?

As one of the strongest sword cultivators in the Xia Nation and the leader of the Yuntian Sword Sect, don't I have any face left???

"It seems Elder Chen misunderstood the meaning of the sect master's words. Let's go!"

Seeing this, Su Zhan said to Chen Changfeng.

"Okay."

Chen Changfeng smiled, glanced at Qin Jincheng, and raised his hand, summoning a giant white jade boat floating in the air.

"Wait!"

Seeing Su Zhan about to leave, Qin Jincheng spoke up.

Although he refused in his heart, his body betrayed him.

The allure of the Starfire Flowing Light Sword Technique was too great for someone like him, who was obsessed with swordmanship!

"Su Zhan, if it's convenient for you, can you teach me your sword technique?"

Qin Jincheng's face turned red as he continued, "It's embarrassing to admit, but I have lived for over a hundred years, and in the past half month, I have pondered and contemplated, yet I still can't grasp the essence of your sword technique. The brilliance of this sword technique surpasses all the sword techniques I have developed throughout my life! If it's possible..."

"Of course!"

Su Zhan didn't hesitate at all and smiled, "It's just a sword technique. If the Sect Master wants to learn, I can write it down for you right now."

With that, Su Zhan took the paper and pen handed to him by Qin Jincheng and began writing.

Su Zhan could feel that Qin Jincheng and Chen Changfeng genuinely cared about him, and he did indeed enjoy many benefits from the Yuntian Sword Sect. One technique in swordsmanship was nothing.

Soon, he finished writing, and Qin Jincheng eagerly accepted it as if he had obtained a treasure, carefully storing it.

"Sect Master, this sword technique is easy to learn at the initial level but difficult to further develop. However, with your understanding of swordsmanship, it's possible that when I return, you may achieve the Minor Achievement level in this sword technique."

"I can't say I can achieve the Minor Achievement level, but mastering the basics is definite!"

Qin Jincheng chuckled.

After that, he gave some instructions regarding the Dark Star Forest, and Su Zhan boarded the white jade boat.

Under the skilled control of Chen Changfeng, the white jade boat transformed into a white rainbow light and flew into the sky.

Two days later.

An open area beneath the Tiannan Mountains.

The white jade boat landed.

Su Zhan looked ahead.

There were already several people here, both senior experts in the Core Yuan Realm and young geniuses.

After seeing the arrival of Su Zhan and Chen Changfeng, those people looked at them with curiosity.

"Su Zhan, both of them are members of our Xia Nation's royal family."

Chen Changfeng swept his gaze and walked towards an old man and a young man. Along the way, he said to Su Zhan.

"Elder Chen."

"Elder Chen!"

The old man in the Core Yuan Realm and the young man in the Barrier Master Realm spoke almost simultaneously.

"General Li, Ninth Prince."

Chen Changfeng smiled and pointed to Su Zhan, "This is our talented disciple of the Yuntian Sword Sect, Su Zhan. He will represent our sect in entering the Dark Star Forest."

Su Zhan?

Not Qi Yang?

General Li and the Ninth Prince were slightly surprised, but of course, they wouldn't ask directly now as it would be impolite.

"Hello, Brother Su. I am the Ninth Prince, Xia Qihai."

"Hello, I'm Su Zhan."

Su Zhan nodded, greeting them.

At that moment, another voice was heard.

"Brother Chen, long time no see!"

An old man with white hair and a Taoist robe approached.

Behind him was a flawless girl with a perfect figure and a small, delicate face, resembling carved jade.

Chen Changfeng glanced at the old man and smiled, "National Master! It has been a while. By the way, you still owe me a bottle of Purple Fruit Spirit Wine from last time."

"Cough, I have long forgotten such trivial matters. Brother Chen, no need to bring it up!"

The old man waved his hand, signaling not to mention it again.

Chen Changfeng also didn't continue the discussion and introduced to Su Zhan, "This is the National Master of the Hua Yue Kingdom, Song Shanhai. And this..."

Song Shanhai interrupted, smiling at the young girl, "This is our Hua Yue Kingdom's personal disciple of the Empress, Hua Yiyi. Yiyi, don't forget to pay respects to Elder Chen."

"I pay my respects to Elder Chen!"

Hua Yiyi's beautiful eyes turned and she looked at Su Zhan, smiling enchantingly.

"This must be the number one talent of the Xia Kingdom, Senior Brother Qi Yang, right? I have heard that Senior Brother Qi Yang possesses the White Dragon Holy Body and, at the young age of twenty-three, has reached the peak of the Barrier Master Realm, with strength comparable to the Core Yuan Realm! Today, seeing you in person, Senior Brother, you are even more extraordinary than I imagined!"

"Yiyi, pay respects to Senior Brother Qi Yang!"
