Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"Sect Master Yunxi".

"We are here on a mission."

"I would like to trouble the sect leader to lead us to the mountain gate of the Gengjin Sword Sect, and also to investigate the place where the Gengjin Flower grows."

After discussing with the demonic cultivator surnamed Ma, Zhang Yan spoke to the Yunxi Sect Master.

"It is my honor to guide the envoy."

The sect leader of Yunxi bowed.

He then led everyone away from the Yunxi Sect's mountain gate.

All the Golden Core cultivators of the Gengjin Sword Sect have now been executed.

The remaining remnants.

It won't amount to anything, and can be easily dealt with.

The tasks Zhang Yan accepted included, in addition to, annihilating the Gengjin Sword Sect.

We also need to protect the important resources produced in the Gengjin region.

Gengjin Flower.

On the road.

Zhang Yan followed the sect leader of Yunxi.

We've found it—a precious land where the golden chrysanthemum grows.

The Gengjin Realm is named for the special Gengjin energy contained within the heavens and earth.

Although this Gengjin flower is a plant, it can absorb the energy of Gengjin.

To forge magical weapons such as knives, spears, and swords.

Adding Gengjin Flower will make the magic weapon even sharper.

"Envoy Zhang."

"I've heard that you come from the Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"And since you are used to using flying swords, you will probably need this Gengjin Flower to refine flying swords in the future."

“In my Yunxi Sect’s treasury, after deducting the portion offered to the Human Race Alliance, there is still a surplus.”

"I can decide to give it to the envoy as a way of repaying his kindness in saving me!"

The Yunxi Sect Master was shrewd and took the initiative to do a favor.

"Thank you, Sect Master Yunxi."

Zhang Yan thanked him in return.

This Gengjin flower is extremely rare.

He had no intention of collecting this material.

But with the generous gift from Sect Master Yunxi, things are a different story.

If you add Gengjinhua.

If he could forge 360 ​​top-grade third-tier flying swords, making them even sharper, his sword formation would be even more powerful!

Even if it's a peak Golden Core cultivator, he can still kill them with a sword formation!

After leaving Yunxi Sect.

The group took a stroll around the Gengjin Realm along the way.

Huang Lian recorded the growth of the Gengjin flower.

The matter will be reported to the Human Alliance later.

In the future, all Geng metal flowers that should be handed over will still be handed over as usual.

It spans almost half of the Geng Metal boundary.

The group arrived.

On a sheer cliff thousands of feet high, the cliff face is extremely steep, as if cleaved by swords and knives.

On the cliff, there is only one winding path leading straight to the mountainside.

The mountain gate of the Gengjin Sword Sect is located on a sheer cliff.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, one can vaguely see thousands of sword strikes soaring into the sky.

pity.

The Gengjin Sword Sect will cease to exist from now on.

"Go up the mountain!"

Zhang Yan led everyone up the mountain as quickly as possible.

"Sect Master Yunxi? How could she..."

The elder in charge of guarding the mountain gate discovered the Cloud Creek Sect Master.

But Zhang Yan made a move.

The flying sword pierced through the void with lightning speed.

Before the elders could react, their heads had already rolled on the ground.

Like the Yunxi Sect.

The Gengjin Sword Sect is also shrouded in a fourth-order formation.

If the formation is activated, it will take Zhang Yan and the others quite some time to break it.

Fortunately, these elders were careless.

This allowed Zhang Yan and the others to enter the mountain gate so smoothly.

"Kill them all!"

Ma Lianqing's figure was shrouded in a black robe, and his voice was icy.

On the way, Fan Cai told Zhang Yan his name.

This mission.

The two had developed some acquaintance.

Zhang Yan is a future disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion; befriending him will definitely not be a bad thing.

"what!"

Inside the mountain gate, screams of agony echoed incessantly.

The disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain had long wanted to unleash a massacre.

Ma Lianqing stood beside Zhang Yan, looked at an elder, grabbed him, and asked:
"Tell me, where is your treasure trove?"

The elder was terrified.

He quickly led the group to the sect's treasury.

Although the Gengjin Sword Sect is only a sect in the lower realm.

However, the collection of a sect's treasure trove is still quite astonishing.

Open the ban.

Zhang Yan, Ma Lianqing, and Huang Lian went inside with the elder.

Upon entering the treasure vault.

A sharp aura of Geng metal rushed towards me.

Even those at the Golden Core stage felt a stinging sensation on their skin.

“This is Gengjinhua.”

"There are at least four hundred flowers."

"Your Gengjin Sword Sect's treasure trove certainly has quite a few good things!"

Huang Lian arrived at Geng Jinhua's storeroom, took inventory, and sneered.

However, the Gengjin Sword Sect is gone.

There's no point in saying all this now.

"Fellow Daoist Ma."

"Junior Brother Zhang has three hundred and sixty flying swords."

"There are four hundred Gengjin flowers here. We will report half to the Human Dao Alliance and leave the rest for Junior Brother Zhang."

"How about you take more of what's left in this treasure vault?"

Huang Lian understood the rules and discussed it with Ma Lianqing.

He doesn't lack these things.

He just wanted to gain some benefits for Zhang Yan.

"Easy to say."

"I won't take any more of the rest."

"Just ask if you need anything, Fellow Daoist Zhang."

Ma Lianqing also thought about handing over Zhang Yan, and generously said so.

then.

The Gengjin Sword Sect, for so many years.

Four hundred Gengjin flowers were secretly withheld.

Half of them ended up in Zhang Yan's storage bag.

The remaining half, according to the rules.

It needs to be handed over to the Human Race Alliance.

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain this task.

Within this treasure trove.

According to the default rules, the three people can take 20% of the remaining treasures.

Zhang Yan didn't gain much advantage either, taking only a quarter of the 20%.

Ma Lianqing took half.

The Corpse Demon Skull Mountain has arrived, with nearly fifty disciples.

It's impossible to gain nothing at all.

Huang Lian took a quarter of it, and after discussing it with Zhang Yan, part of it was distributed to the disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, while the rest was left to Zhang Yan.

Huang Lian didn't ask for anything at all.

In this treasure trove.

In addition to the valuable Gengjin Flower, Zhang Yan also obtained resources worth tens of millions of spirit stones.

He has already gathered almost half of the resources he needs.

"Fellow Daoist Ma."

"If you need to refine magical artifacts in the future..."

"I will never refuse to do anything within my power!"

After taking inventory of the treasures, Zhang Yan thanked Ma Lianqing.

Although Ma Lianqing was a demonic cultivator from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

But they understand human relationships better than those who come from immortal sects.

"You're too kind, Fellow Daoist Zhang!"

Ma Lianqing beamed with joy; these were the words he had been waiting for.

The treasure trove was looted clean.

The three of them left.

The entire mountain gate had been turned upside down by the other disciples.

According to the rules of the Human Race Alliance.

No one from the Gengjin Sword Sect will be left alive.

"mission completed."

"It's time to leave."

Most of the disciples returned to the mountain gate exit; this mission should be over.

"Senior Brother Zhang."

"We discovered a secret place on a side peak."

"It seems to be a place of heritage."

At this moment, a disciple from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain came over to report.

"Go and see."

Zhang Yan and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Soon, the three of them, along with Sect Master Yunxi, arrived at this side peak.

This is a sword mound.

The outside was covered with broken and bloodstained swords and daggers.

Above the Sword Tomb is a tightly closed stone gate, which is two zhang high.

“I have heard of it.”

"A thousand years ago, the Gengjin Sword Sect had a Dharma Aspect Realm expert."

"But it was just a fleeting moment. Perhaps it contained the legacy left behind by that powerful figure."

The sect leader of Yunxi looked at the stone gate and made a guess.

Just like Middle-earth.

Cultivators of the Geng Metal Realm.

There are also geniuses who have broken out of the small world, such as that Dharma Aspect Realm expert.

However, the Gengjin Sword Sect subsequently declined.

They can only be trapped in this Geng Metal Realm.

finally.

Bewitched by the demon race, he chose to betray the human alliance.

"The legacy left behind by a Dharma Aspect Realm expert?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan was somewhat tempted.

The Gengjin Sword Sect still has a solid foundation.

Perhaps among them are relics left behind by a powerful expert at the Dharma Aspect Realm!

Zhang Yan landed in front of the stone gate.

This place of inheritance is located inside the mountain gate, and there are no powerful restrictions.

Zhang Yan deciphered several key points of the formation, and the stone gate suddenly opened wide.

"Let's go."

Zhang Yan led the three of them into the stone gate.

Inside is a spacious cavern carved out of the mountain.

On the wall directly opposite the stone gate hangs a broken magic sword that gleams with a dark light.

There was a line of small print written on it.

The general idea is that this place of inheritance is where that powerful Dharma Aspect cultivator passed away.

He inscribed the most powerful sword technique he had ever acquired on the surrounding walls and concealed it with an array.

If it were an outsider, they would try to force their way in.

This place will self-destruct, and the tradition will be completely lost.

The descendants of the Gengjin Sword Sect who wish to inherit the legacy must use the broken magic sword on the wall.

From the writing on the wall, one can glean the sword techniques contained therein.

"Use the broken magic sword to comprehend sword techniques."

"Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for people?"

"It's no wonder the Gengjin Sword Sect declined, given that it left behind such a legacy."

Huang Lian looked at this passage and sneered.

If it were that Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator, they would normally leave behind a legacy.

If the Gengjin Sword Sect had a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, the outcome would be different.

"I think so too."

Ma Lianqing also shook his head.

This kind of inheritance is too unreliable.

Staying here is a complete waste of time.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"Lian Geng Jin Jian Sect himself."

"We haven't been able to pass on this knowledge over the years, so let's not waste our time."

Ma Lianqing looked at Zhang Yan and said.

No one could see the mystery behind it.

But in Zhang Yan's eyes, the information about the damaged magic sword had already emerged.

[Equipment Name]: Damaged Magic Sword
[Equipment Tier]: Tier 4
[Equipment Quality]: White
【Equipment Effect】: LV3 True Meaning of Blazing Fire (Equipping a damaged magic sword grants you the basic True Meaning of Blazing Fire).

LV4 Vermilion Bird Blazing Sword Technique (When you equip a damaged magic sword, you will master the fourth-tier Vermilion Bird Blazing Sword Technique, drawing fire from the sword and condensing a phantom of a Vermilion Bird).

LV4 Fragmented Four Directions Annihilation Sword (However, if you equip the Broken Magic Sword and collect the other three major sword techniques, you can obtain the complete Four Directions Annihilation Sword.)
This sword, although it is a fourth-tier weapon, is already damaged.

Therefore, it is only of white quality.

It's basically equivalent to scrap metal, and most people wouldn't even care about it.

However, it was the sword that the Dharma Aspect Realm expert carried with him during his lifetime.

"Vermilion Bird Blazing Sword Technique!"

"And this broken Four Directions Annihilation Sword!"

"This legacy is extraordinary!"

Zhang Yan thought to himself.

If it weren't for the system, he would have almost missed this opportunity.

"Everyone."

"Now that I'm here, I'd like to give it a try."

Zhang Yan concealed his excitement and spoke to the three of them.

"Since Fellow Daoist Zhang is interested..."

"I will wait outside."

Ma Lianqing replied.

Since the mission was accomplished, and Zhang Yan was still unwilling to give up...

It's fine to stay a few more days.

Huang Lian and the Yunxi Sect Master both withdrew, none of the three of them having imagined that Zhang Yan would be able to obtain the so-called inheritance here.

boom!
The stone gate closed again.

Zhang Yan reached out and took the broken magic sword from the wall.

"Wear it!"

Zhang Yan silently recited in his heart that he had already put on the damaged magic sword.

The profound mysteries that the disciples of the Gengjin Sword Sect could not comprehend flowed into Zhang Yan's sea of ​​consciousness like a tide.

The Vermilion Bird is one of the Four Symbols.

Sword techniques related to the Vermilion Bird are all extraordinary.

Especially the true meaning of this fire.

It is derived from the Dao of Fire Spirit, but its power is even more terrifying, and it can even burn the soul!

Zhang Yan had already mastered the Fire Spirit Dao Intent to a high degree.

Now, understanding the true meaning of the Fire Separation Technique is even more natural.

But if...

Others without a system.

He wanted to comprehend the true meaning of the Blazing Fire from this ordinary, broken magic sword.

It's like trying to reach the top in one step.

No wonder no one has been able to inherit this tradition for so many years.

The true meaning of fire is introduced.

Zhang Yan then mastered the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword Technique.

His sword formation was indeed powerful before.

But as their strength increases...

Quantitative changes can no longer produce qualitative changes.

When dealing with that Nascent Soul demon beast, they couldn't even inflict any damage, and almost broke several flying swords.

But with this "Vermilion Bird Fire Sword Technique".

Zhang Yan can summon the phantom of the Vermilion Bird within the sword formation!

The sword formation became a unified whole, greatly enhancing its power!

At last.

It is the "Four Spirits Annihilation Sword Technique," and Zhang Yan currently only possesses a fragmented version of it.

That is, one-quarter of the Vermilion Bird.

Even though it's incomplete, it has reached the fourth rank, and it can advance one rank for each spirit it gains.

In other words, the complete Four Spirits Annihilation Sword Technique is an eighth-level sword technique!

If such news were to get out...

Even a powerful expert at the True Self Realm would probably be tempted!

"It was not in vain!"

Zhang Yan opened his eyes, filled with immense excitement.

In just one hour, he mastered the mysteries of the broken magic sword.

The legacy left here can be obtained simply by him rehearsing it once.

He held the broken magic sword in his hand.

They practiced the sword moves of the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword once.

In the void, white flames appeared, distorting even the air!

boom!
When Zhang Yan finished his practice, the mountain where the Sword Tomb was located suddenly shook violently!
"This is……"

The three people outside immediately looked over.

On the mountain peak, a large number of rocks tumbled down, making it look like a volcano.

Cracks appeared, and blazing flames shot into the sky!

Violent!
A loud voice resounded through the sky.

From the largest crevice in the middle of the mountain, a divine bird, a hundred feet tall and entirely crimson, flew out!
"Suzaku!"

Huang Lian, being knowledgeable and experienced, immediately recognized the divine bird's identity.

Even in the Upper Realm, the Vermilion Bird is an extremely rare existence.

It's unclear how long it has been since it last appeared in the world.

And yet, one actually appeared in this small Gengjin realm!
"Do not."

"It was just a phantom."

"It is a magic sword that possesses the aura of the Vermilion Bird!"

Ma Lianqing, with his higher cultivation level, saw through the Vermilion Bird Flame and recognized the true form of the illusory figure.

At this moment.

The stone gate opened, and a figure soared into the sky.

The phantom of the Vermilion Bird in the sky spread its wings and fell from the heavens, shimmering with endless white light.

When everything disappears.

Zhang Yan already held a six-foot-long, slender, and agile magic sword with red feather patterns in his hand!
This is the most precious treasure of the Gengjin Sword Sect.

Vermilion Bird Blazing Sword!
Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Zhang!

Ma Lianqing and Huang Lian looked at the sword in Zhang Yan's hand and offered their congratulations.

"Thank you both so much for your help!"

A smile appeared on Zhang Yan's lips.

The gains from this mission far exceeded his expectations.

Not only did they obtain a large amount of resources.

And in his hand is the Vermilion Bird Blazing Sword, a low-grade fourth-tier weapon.

Moreover, Zhang Yan also learned the whereabouts of the other three Four Spirit Swords during the event! (End of Chapter)
