"Thank you so much, Martial Uncle, for bestowing this treasure!"
Just like Xia Zhi said.
Without any added powers, this sword is simply a high-quality Western knight's sword.
However, as a relic of a fallen god-slayer whose title was "King of Swords," its value skyrocketed.
Of the existing godkillers, only his teacher had a precedent of killing other godkillers.
Now there's another one, and it turns out to be his martial uncle!
Luo Hao summoned Lu Yinghua mainly to inform him about his sworn brotherhood with Xia Zhi.
The leader of the cult did not like high-tech products, and there were neither telephones nor computers in the temple where he lived.
So whenever there was something to give orders, Lu Yinghua would have to go up the mountain, get a beating, and then stagger down the mountain.
Apart from Lu Yinghua, even other disciples of the Five Prisons Holy Sect dared not go up the mountain.
After all, Luo Hao was a demon king who would gouge out eyes upon seeing his appearance and cut off ears upon hearing his voice.

After Lu Yinghua left, Luo Hao asked Xia Zhi to wait a moment while he went to a hall in the temple where female immortals were enshrined.
This place is dedicated to the Goddess of Mount Li, who was also Luo Hao's teacher.
Holding the jade talisman, Luo Hao entered a meditative state, his soul drifting along with the talisman's guidance to an unknown realm.
In this realm, a female immortal, dressed in a green robe, with a face quite different from the deity statue, and only in her early twenties, exuding heroic spirit and possessing unparalleled beauty, was smiling at Luo Hao.
After landing, Luo Hao bowed to the female immortal.
"Disciple pays homage to Master!"
"The Old Mother of Lishan, or rather, the only remaining immortal of the Jie Sect, the Holy Mother of Wudang, laughed."
What wind blew my little jade lotus here today?
Seeing that the Holy Mother of Wudang was speaking to him in such a childish tone, Luo Hao felt quite helpless.
Perhaps because she was the youngest disciple of the Holy Mother of Wudang, even though she had cultivated for two hundred years, in her master's eyes she was still the same little girl she had been back then.
To avoid his master making further inappropriate jokes, Luo Hao could only keep a cold face and speak to her in a serious and methodical manner.
"Master, I have come to inform you that I have formed a sworn brotherhood with a man named Xia Zhi, who is suspected to be a cultivator from the Blood God Sect. His primordial spirit has been severely damaged, and I have come to ask you for a treasure or cultivation technique that can heal his soul."
"To become siblings of the opposite sex?"
Seeing her stern-faced little apprentice, the Holy Mother Wudang knew that Luo Hao had not been tempted by worldly desires, but that didn't stop her from adding fuel to the fire.
After all, as she grew up, Xiao Yulian became less and less fun.
"I've heard that things are different in the mortal realm now than in ancient times; the practice of having god-sisters or god-brothers is quite popular. Little Jade Lotus, could it be that you've developed worldly desires?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Hao instantly lost his composure and showed a helpless expression to his master.
"Master, please don't tease your disciple anymore. If you don't have it, I will ask the other senior sisters."
"Hmph. How could your master not have a mere pill to heal soul injuries? You really don't need your master now that you have a younger brother."
Like Luo Hao, the Holy Mother of Wudang was as charming as a twenty-year-old girl, lively and lovely, and casually gave away a pill.
"This is a Soul-Stabilizing Pill, made primarily from Soul-Stabilizing Pearls. It has remarkable effects on injuries to the soul. Take it to save your adopted brother."
"Thank you, Master. I'll take my leave."
After receiving the elixir, Luo Hao bid farewell to the Holy Mother Wudang and returned using the jade talisman.
After she left, the Holy Mother of Wudang murmured.
"Siblings from different families..."
She couldn't help but recall the joyful times she spent playing with her fellow disciples in the Jie Sect, her face filled with reminiscence and melancholy.
Although many of her closest fellow disciples did not die, her eldest brother became the unapproachable Buddha, and the others were listed on the Investiture of the Gods. Even if they could still meet and laugh together, their feelings were no longer the same as before.
The smile on the face of the Holy Mother of Wudang gradually disappeared, and she reached out to perform divination on the summer solstice.
However, she nodded slightly after a short while.
"A lucky little fellow from the ancestral land. Although he has committed a lot of killings and is a bit lecherous, his character is not bad. Since he escaped from the Heavenly Realm rather than ascending, he is not on the Golden Record of Ascension. I wonder when the Blood God Cult of the Styx Ancestor will find him."

Returning from the place of the Holy Mother of Wudang, Luo Hao lowered his head and found that in addition to the jade talisman, he also had a pill in his hands.
The pill was greenish-blue in color, no bigger than a green bean, and had a refreshing fragrance that soothed the mind and soul.
Holding the pill, Luo Hao worried that its effects would dissipate over time, so he immediately handed it to Xia Zhi.
"These are the pills I got from my master. They should be able to heal your injuries, little brother. If they don't work, I'll ask my senior sisters."
"Since the pills were given by my sister's master, then there is naturally no problem with them."
Xia Zhi thanked Luo Hao and, without saying a word, swallowed it whole.
His sworn brotherhood with Luo Hao is far more legitimate than the "brotherhood" of the Seven Great Sages of the Demon Clan, so there's no need to be wary of it.
Seeing Xia Zhi take the pill, Luo Hao nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his lips.
She knew that as a demonic cultivator capable of creating a sea of blood, Xia Zhi must have a lot on her mind.
He killed three god-slayers, so his temperament must be even more unruly than mine.
Even so, it's truly remarkable that Xia Zhi trusts her so much.
After consuming the elixir, Xia Zhi used her magical power to slowly dissolve it.
The medicinal properties of the elixir did not go down into the body, but instead transformed into a stream of pure energy that headed towards the Niwan Palace (the area around the summer solstice).
Soon, this pure energy filled the Niwan Palace, enveloping Xia Zhi's primordial spirit.
At this moment, Xia Zhi felt as if her primordial spirit was being immersed in the dew of the soul, making her feel like she was floating on air!
This is simply a miracle cure!
Absorbing the pure energy in the Niwan Palace, Xia Zhi's primordial spirit is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The rotten, foul-smelling, charred wounds on his primordial spirit were expelled by the pure energy, and the defects in his body were filled by the pure energy.
At the same time, Xia Zhi's entire primordial spirit expanded little by little, like a balloon.
When most of this pure energy was absorbed, Xia Zhi not only completely recovered from the injuries to her primordial spirit, but her primordial spirit power was also replenished.
His Yuan Shen Jing underwent brutal tempering, absorbing all the remaining pure Qi, and in one fell swoop, he broke through from the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm to the late-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm!
This is what is meant by destruction before construction!
When Xia Zhi opened his eyes, he felt that the whole world had become brighter!
I feel like I have inexhaustible energy!
However, this is just an illusion.
Not to mention that Xia Zhi's cultivation level is still in the Integration stage and has not yet recovered to the Tribulation stage.
He said that his spiritual wounds had healed, but his body was still in a state of serious injury.
In the previous battle, not only was the Crimson Light Sword damaged.
Xia Zhi not only consumed most of his Blood Sea, but also had his Unyielding Bones shattered by Luo Hao, damaging his foundation.
He only had 20-30% of his strength left.
Is this a case of every loss having a gain?
……
A full month had passed by the time Xia Zhi finished healing her primordial spirit.
After all, he was not only healing, but also making a breakthrough.
Seeing Xia Zhi open her eyes, Luo Hao smiled.
"Congratulations on your further progress, little brother."
Summer Solstice speaks the truth.
"I have to thank my sister for her medicine. Otherwise, I don't know when my injuries to my primordial spirit would have healed."
"This is a small matter; a mere pill is nothing."
The wealthy woman, Luo Hao, seemed unconcerned and let the matter pass, indicating that she was indeed very wealthy.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhi looked at the white gauze on Luo Hao's body, and the white silk gloves that Luo Hao wore during their battle that day.
After the war, he discovered that Luo Hao's hand wound had healed at some point.
Now that the two have become siblings, Xia Zhi no longer needs to hide anything and directly asks the question.
"Sister, what was the magical treasure that blocked my primordial spirit piercing that day? And what were those white silk gloves?"
“I knew you’d ask that, little brother.”
Luo Hao flipped his hands and took out another pair of white silk gloves as thin as cicada wings.
"This is a gift my master gave me when I completed my apprenticeship. It is called the Delicate Silk Hand and belongs to the category of acquired spiritual treasures. It is impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire."
Touching the light gauze on her shoulder, Luo Hao's expression became somewhat complicated.
"This is the Light Cloud Veil, a primordial spiritual treasure given to me by my master at my 100th birthday celebration. It can not only protect the body but also withstand attacks targeting the soul. Little brother, do you know what a spiritual treasure is?"
Xia Zhi first nodded enviously, then shook her head.
He knew the terms "acquired spiritual treasure," "innate spiritual treasure," and "innate supreme treasure," but they were all things from ancient legends.
The Heavenly Realm, where only magical artifacts exist, has absolutely no information about their true nature.
So Luo Hao began to teach Xia Zhi basic literacy.
“Lingbao is…”
She had just opened her mouth when she suddenly thought of something and asked Xia Zhi.
"Little brother, do you know how cultivation realms are generally divided?"
Xia Zhi hesitated.
"Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Division, Body Integration, Tribulation Transcending, Mahayana, and then ascending to immortality?"
Hearing this series of realms, Luo Hao was speechless once again.
Which small place uses this method of division?
Her younger brother is truly a complete novice in cultivation!
"I don't know about other realms. The mainstream method in our world is the Four Refinements: refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, and refining emptiness to unite with the Dao."
"Among them, I am in the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation stage, and I see that you are too, brother. Spirit Refining and Returning to Emptiness should be the Mahayana stage you mentioned. Once you reach this level, you can leave your name in the golden records and jade registers of immortal forces such as the Heavenly Court, Buddhism, the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the Blood God Sect, and be ranked among the immortals and enjoy immortal blessings."
Despite saying that, Luo Hao showed no longing whatsoever.
That meager salary probably meant nothing to Mrs. Luo.
"Aside from the lowest-grade magical artifacts, which are inferior to many firearms, cultivators initially come into contact with magical treasures. The demonic sword you are using is a top-grade magical treasure, and the next level up is a spiritual treasure."
Luo Hao began to explain the term "Lingbao".
"Spiritual treasures are divided into acquired spiritual treasures and innate spiritual treasures. Acquired spiritual treasures are those that are artificially crafted. If your demonic sword can advance further, then it will become an acquired spiritual treasure."
"It's not that acquired spiritual treasures are inferior to innate spiritual treasures. It mainly depends on how many layers of heaven and earth restrictions are inside the spiritual treasure, and the mutual restraint between them. The more heaven and earth restrictions inside the spiritual treasure, the greater its power when fully exerted."
“Innate spiritual treasures may contain many restrictions, but they all need to be broken layer by layer to unleash their power. Acquired spiritual treasures may not have as many restrictions, but they have already been broken. So each has its own advantages and disadvantages.”
Luo Hao cited his two acquired spiritual treasures as examples.
“The grades are determined by the spiritual treasures they contain. Three layers of restrictions make one grade, with the highest being grade twelve. The Delicate Silk Hand has four layers of restrictions, making it a grade two acquired spiritual treasure. The Light Cloud Gauze has eight layers of restrictions, making it a grade three innate spiritual treasure.”
After explaining the basics of cultivation to Xia Zhi, Luo Hao took out a dozen cultivation manuals and let him choose whichever he wanted.
"These are all cultivation techniques that my senior sister gave me to pass the time. They're not really related to my sect's techniques. You can pick a few to cultivate, or you can take them all. Just remember not to bite off more than you can chew."
