Refusing to acknowledge his ancestors, Guan Yutian declared that he could do it: "This is utter nonsense. My surname is Guan, and Ying Shuntian's surname is Ying. How could I be a descendant of that person?"

Li Canghai whispered in Lin Zhu's ear, "What should we do? He won't admit it."

"It's nothing." Lin Zhu waved a folding fan in his hand, the fan surface of which was made of ice silkworm silk and the frame was made of black iron, looking very elegant. "Watch me."

He hid in the crowd and used the Tianlong Bayin technique to say, "As far as I know, to unlock the treasure in the Chess King Cave of Thousand Demon Mountain, we need a Ling Shuang Sword, which is forged in Sword Casting City. Let's go to Sword Casting City first."

The sound echoed throughout the air, but no one knew who was speaking.

"What, Chess King Cave? What kind of place is that?"

"Yeah, I've never heard of it. Does anyone know? Also, who's speaking?"

Li Canghai transmitted his voice: 'You're too wicked, but I like it.'

Guan Yutian was startled. 'How could this be? Only I know this secret. Could it be that I was talking in my sleep and someone overheard me?'

He had to have this suspicion, otherwise it would have been too far-fetched for him.

There are even more powerful experts hidden among the crowd.

Beside Liu Ruoxin and Mu Wanqing, the Sunflower Ancestor laughed and said, "Such superb sonic skills! Even I couldn't tell where the sound came from."

The two women beside him exchanged a glance. Apart from Lin Zhu, who else could know the location of the treasure so clearly?

However, I've never heard of this Thousand Demon Mountain before.

"Never mind, let's go to Sword Forging City first. Since opening the treasure requires the Frost Sword, let's take the Frost Sword first."

Among the crowd, some people were asked to lead the way.

And so, the group of people headed towards Sword Forging City in a grand procession.

Lin Zhu had never been to this place before and didn't know where Sword Casting City was, so he could only go with the flow with Li Canghai.

At this time, the big dumpling was still in the Tianshan Mountains, and it was too conspicuous to follow.

Sword Forging City wasn't particularly far from the Supreme Alliance; the main force arrived in about a day.

Upon receiving the news and seeing so many martial arts masters arrive, Sword Master was completely devastated.

Chapter 257 The Gender of the Sunflower Ancestor

He and Guan Yutian are now in the same boat.

It took a full sixty years! The Frost Sword, forged using the precious treasure of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Spring, was about to be completed, but it was exposed at this crucial moment.

Who on earth is so despicable?

Faced with so many experts, even though Sword Master had the cultivation of the mid-stage of the ultimate realm, he was indeed unable to withstand them.

These martial arts practitioners, seething with anger, stormed into the sword-forging pool without a word.

The Sword Master only made a token attempt to defend himself; he didn't want to die.

"Where is the Frost-Piercing Sword?" Helian Ba ​​blurted out, "Where is the Frost-Piercing Sword?"

"It's not yet complete," the Sword Master said calmly. "It's still missing a supreme treasure, the Nine Dragon Stone, which is the sword soul of the Frost Sword."

Upon hearing this, Helian Ba ​​continued, "Where is the Nine Dragon Stone located?"

The Sword Master has given up, "in the hands of a physician named Sai Huatuo."

"Sai Huatuo? Which Sai Huatuo?" Helian Ba ​​paused for a moment. "There are at least eight hundred or a thousand physicians in the Western Regions named Sai Huatuo. Where are we supposed to find him?"

"That one with exceptional medical skills is an old man, and nobody knows his real name." Facing these powerful martial arts figures, the Sword Master naturally spoke frankly and without reservation.

If I don't speak up now, I'll be the one who dies.

He is still quite pragmatic.

Lin Zhu chuckled inwardly. That was more like it. Otherwise, the pace would be too slow. He needed to get the Frost Sword out sooner rather than later. The Nine Dragon Stones alone were not as useful as the Frost Sword.

As for Sai Huatuo, his strength is too low. The Nine Dragon Stone will be stolen from him sooner or later.

Now that the tide has turned against him, if he obediently hands over the Nine Dragon Stone, his life will not be in danger.

So everyone dispersed to find Sai Huatuo again.

The old man, with his superb medical skills, was even called "the next Hua Tuo" (a legendary Chinese physician), so the goal became clearer.

However, it will take quite some time to find him.

Lin Zhu and Li Canghai didn't go, nor did the leaders of the major powers; they stayed in Sword Forging City, waiting for news.

Like Sifang City, Sword Forging City is a city inhabited by many ordinary people.

Some of the people lived in the city lord's mansion.

Lin Zhu and Li Canghai stayed at an inn in the city.

Liu Ruoxin: We've been busy for over half a month, working on nothing, and haven't found anything. But now that you're here, oh my god, it feels like we're about to find a treasure! @Lin Zhu

Wu Xingyun: Is Xiao Zhuzi up to something again?

Lin Zhu: What do you mean by "again"? I just sped up the pace a bit.

Li Canghai: You know so much, but do you know what the treasure of the game of life and death is?

Lin Zhu: Two enormous golden pillars, cast in the shape of a chess set, but I don't know their exact size.

Li Canghai: I want to go and see.

Wu Xingyun: You wait here first. I'll ride the Golden Eagle King and look around your area. Maybe it's not a secret realm?

Feng Si Niang: What is a secret realm?

Shangguan Yan: It should be a secret realm like the Desert Ridge, but it feels like it's in another dimension, and you can't enter without a specific passage or time.

Li Canghai: Senior sister, you can go and look for it. Let us know when you find it.

Wu Xingyun: Okay.

For the next eight days, Lin Zhu took Li Canghai sightseeing near the Sword Casting City.

On the ninth day, the people sent out to find Sai Huatuo returned.

With just this one target, they captured nine.

Beside the sword-forging pool, Lin Zhu looked at Li Canghai and complained, "Grandmaster Uncle, the title of 'Sai Hua Tuo' is far too worthless in the Western Regions. Any doctor can use it."

"Hehehe!" Li Canghai covered his mouth and laughed, then slapped Lin Zhu. "Don't be naughty. Also, call me 'sister' outside. 'Little Grandmaster' makes me sound old."

"The seniority must not be confused!" Lin Zhu said.

Li Canghai said, "Hey, what's with all this talk about seniority? We'll all ascend to the Upper Realm sooner or later, just like Senior Aqing. We'll have long lifespans then, and this age difference means we'll have to change how we address each other later anyway. It's all the same whether we change it sooner or later, so we might as well change it sooner and just call her 'elder sister'."

As she spoke, she put her arms around Lin Zhu's neck.

Lin Zhu was tucked under her arm, looking helpless. The ice silk garment was quite cold and slippery.

Li Canghai's true nature was revealed: seventy years old, but with the mentality of a twenty-year-old, mischievous and adorable, and it wasn't an act.

He complained, "I feel like at that time, you'll make me call you 'little sister'."

"Hahaha, how is that possible?" Li Canghai laughed twice, feeling that he might actually be able to do it.

The two of them now look somewhat out of place with the people around them.

Seven days have passed, and Wu Xingyun has made no progress whatsoever. She has searched for a long time without finding any treasure or Mirror Lake.

Therefore, it can only be done in a secret realm.

“Tell me, which of you has the Nine Dragon Stone?” This time, it was Ge Shutian who stepped forward; he looked rather intimidating.

At this stern shout, all eight doctors who were like Hua Tuo knelt down, trembling as they said, "Sir, we don't know what the Nine Dragon Stone is. We are just doctors who treat the sick and save lives."

The crowd ignored what they were saying and only looked at the one who didn't kneel.

Ge Shutian said, "It seems to be you."

“That’s right, the Nine Dragon Stone is in my hands. If you want it, you’d better release them first and avoid harming the innocent.”

Sai Huatuo stepped forward, looked at Ge Shutian and the group of martial arts practitioners, and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The Sword Master agreed, "As long as you hand over the Nine Dragon Stones, we guarantee we won't make things difficult for you."

Ge Shutian, Helian Ba, Shen Xingnan, and even Guan Yutian all made guarantees.

With the Frost Sword about to be born, he had no choice but to come.

If he comes, there's still a sliver of a chance to obtain the treasure; if he doesn't come, there's absolutely no chance. It's the legacy left to him by his ancestors.

At this moment, large forces from both the Great Zhou and the Northern Yuan had gathered around Sword Forging City, waiting to find the treasure before launching their attack to seize it.

Both the Great Zhou and the Northern Yuan are short of money!

Sai Huatuo sighed and said, "I was captured by you while I was having breakfast. The Nine Dragon Stone is still in my residence. Send someone with me to retrieve it."

So, these unreliable martial arts practitioners left Sword Forging City again.

The Sunflower Ancestor sneered, "A rogue is a rogue; he acts too impulsively and wastes time."

He wished he could do it himself.

Lin Zhu had actually noticed this person long ago. He was fair-skinned and beardless, and had a very effeminate appearance. He looked like a woman, but it didn't seem natural and there was a sense of incongruity.

How should I put it? It's a bit like eating a cool peach.

Lin Zhu has the appearance of a man but not a woman; he is truly neither male nor female. Even though he has been born as a celestial being, he still cannot hide that aura.

The Sunflower Ancestor, though seemingly a woman, is neither a woman nor a man, nor a eunuch.

Lin Zhu felt a little nauseous and sent a message to the group: I really sympathize with you. @木婉清

Mu Wanqing: What can I do? He insists on taking me as his disciple; I can't fight city hall.

Wang Yuyan: You should beg Grandma for help. Sunflower Ancestor is just a celestial being.

Mu Wanqing: My mother is still in the capital!

Chapter 258 The Troublesome Frost Sword

Lin Zhu: You've already become an apprentice, so it's no use even if your mother isn't in the capital.
