The youth was named Ye Lingkong, and the two had harbored a grudge due to a rivalry years ago over the position of Sword Master of Huanzhen Sword Peak.
As Huanzhen Sword Peak had always ranked at the bottom of the nine sword peaks, Ye Lingkong would occasionally mock Jian Huanzhen when they encountered each other.
Of course, it was just some light-hearted teasing. Both being from the Sword Sect, they knew very well the weight each one carried.
Usually, Jian Huanzhen wouldn't hesitate to retort, but today he was in a great mood and didn't take the other's barbed words to heart.
"Handing over Sword Grass Sword Gourds? As far as I know, your Spirit Plant Masters are incapable of cultivating Sixth Grade or higher Sword Grass. Could it be that your Huanzhen Sword Peak has developed a new variety? Let me see for myself."
Caught off guard by the remark, Ye Lingkong inquired.
"Almost."
Jian Huanzhen replied casually.
