Free time is the easiest time to let your mind wander. Tingyun quickly thought of the plan that the other party proposed when they were in the Krus civilization.
"Awaited."
A clear voice came.
Tingyun's white fox ears twitched slightly, and she turned her head. She was so focused on thinking that she almost cried out "Benefactor!"
She temporarily abandoned her usual speaking habits and simply smiled and said, "I just arrived myself."

Bai Yan returned the smile: "You don't know yet, but ever since I entered Luofu, I've been sensing the coordinates of all life on this giant ship. To put it simply, one of its functions is like a mental radar; I know your location at any time."
In other words, the other party knew exactly how long she had been waiting there.
"I see."
Despite her skillful negotiation techniques, Tingyun remained unfazed and smiled, saying, "Where would Mr. Baiyan like to go for a stroll first, or would you like me to plan the route?"
"Take me to buy some seasonal pastries from Luofu. I'm going to bring some back for my dear assistant."
"Then please come this way, sir. I'm sure the seasonal pastries from Luofu will not disappoint Ms. Ruan Mei."
After planning the route, Tingyun led the way.
During those few steps, in a less crowded area, Bai Yan and Ting Yun discussed another topic: "Are you finding your sword easy to use?"
Tingyun knew that Baiyan was referring to the three-foot-long sword she had borrowed, and in keeping with Qingyun's personality, she simply replied, "It's a handy weapon."
"Do you know what kind of power that sword contains? If you can gain the sword's approval, I'll give it to you."
"Tell me, sir."
Bai Yan smiled as he walked: "Let me tell you a short story first. I used to be very interested in a guy who liked to draw his bow and shoot arrows everywhere. After talking with him, I started to interpret his teachings. Occasionally, some of his rain of arrows would be useless, so I collected some of them for interpretation."
Tingyun understood that the guy who was drawing his bow and arrow everywhere was the main deity of the Immortal Ship people, the Emperor Bow Master.
It would be an insult for others to address the Emperor Bow Master in this way, but it is reasonable for this person to do so.
"Once I finished interpreting it, those light arrows formed from the convergence of energy were of little use to me. Later, when I was interpreting the life of a legendary craftsman from the Immortal Ship, he used these light arrows and many precious materials that I provided to forge the sword in your hand with my help."
Upon hearing this, Tingyun could no longer remain calm. She paused for a moment, then stopped in her tracks.
The sword she usually used for training... that sword was forged from many of the light arrows of the Emperor's Bow and Fate.
Bai Yan did not stop, but walked leisurely to her side and smiled, "The ownership of that sword is mine, but it should be worthy of being called your sacred artifact."
Tingyun could hardly suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and her slender hand unconsciously touched her chest: "Let me confirm beforehand, sir, you're not joking, are you?"
Tingyun could see clearly that Bai Yan's smile was gentle, without the playfulness of a joke: "When you gain the sword's approval, you'll know whether it's a joke or not."
Chapter 105 Ruo Tingyun Embarks on a Hunting Trip
Tingyun didn't see any hint of a joke in Bai Yan's smile. Having spent time with this deity, she knew what it meant—that he really wasn't joking.
This means that the seemingly ordinary three-foot-long sword she usually trained with was actually forged from the light arrows of the Emperor's Bow and various rare materials, crafted by the legendary craftsmen of the Immortal Ship, and completed with the help of the gods.
She remembered clearly that the deity had treated her like an ordinary weapon, taking it out and throwing it to her along with its scabbard.
The incident happened so suddenly that she didn't catch it before it hit the ground, kicking up a lot of dust.
To this deity, it was indeed an ordinary weapon. But on the celestial vessel, such a weapon truly deserved the title of a sacred artifact.
Her tail swayed gently, her ears trembled, and she couldn't help but become excited, but she tried her best to restrain herself and not show it.
A clear voice came again, soothing her: "Don't get so agitated. At least until it meets someone it approves of, it's just an ordinary longsword, only it's quite sturdy."
Tingyun took a deep breath and replied, "Then how can I gain the sword's approval?"
Bai Yan glanced at the passing crowd and smiled at her.
Tingyun understood his meaning, and a moment later, the two arrived at a passenger-carrying starship assigned to her by the Flight Commander.
Inside the Starship, Tingyun and Baiyan sat facing each other and took out the sword from their storage space.
The overall design of this sword incorporates elements of a celestial boat. The hilt is warm and inviting, decorated with exquisitely carved metal, depicting cloud patterns and landscape designs. The handle is tightly wrapped with black or dark red cord to increase stability and comfort when holding the sword.
The entire blade is completely encased in a scabbard, its appearance simple and serene, with only the subtle metal decorations intermittently shimmering with a calm luster.
Although this sword can be described as superior, Tingyun never expected that it contained the light arrow of the Emperor's Bow and the Fate-Bearing Sword.
The materials used to incorporate the light arrows of the Emperor's Bow into the sword's blade are naturally quite valuable.
Bai Yan seemed to see through her thoughts and explained, "Some of the rare materials I mentioned earlier were waste materials generated during Kripper's wall-building process. I asked Him for some."
When Tingyun first learned that the sword contained the light arrow of the Emperor's Bow of Fate, her heart was already shaken.
Now that I know there's waste material from the construction of the walls by the God of Heaven himself, my heart is experiencing a series of aftershocks, just like after an earthquake.
This is a divine weapon crafted by the legendary craftsmen of the Immortal Ship, with materials provided by two gods and guidance and assistance from another god.
If this were placed anywhere in the world, it would definitely cause a huge sensation, and might even attract the Interstellar Peace Corporation to compete for it.
Back in Belleburg, this deity simply lent it to her so casually.
Do you think this is a divine weapon?
The deity before her seemed to have read her heart once again, and explained in a clear voice:
"Actually, this sword has been a useless piece of equipment until now. You just asked how to activate it, and I'll tell you now."
"To gain its approval, one must bring one's own beliefs closer to the will of [the hunt]."
"Even if his beliefs remain unattainable, he must take one more step forward than others to even slightly pluck the string of his arrow."
"Even a trace of [protection] must be mixed in to stabilize the sword."
“Then…” Tingyun hesitated for a moment and did not continue.
Tingyun wanted to ask, "Can't the generals and the others do the same?"
Bai Yan's smile seemed to have a deeper meaning, and his eyes shone with a light of testing and expectation as he spoke.
His voice was calm, but each word was clear and powerful, cutting through the air like the sharp edge of a sword.
"Since this sword came into existence, no one has been able to activate it. All the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow throughout the ages have come into contact with this sword by chance under my arrangement, but none of them could do it. Of course, this includes your General Jingyuan."
"So this sword is both a sacred artifact and a useless artifact of the Immortal Ship," he continued, his words tinged with regret.
"I just randomly picked out a weapon to lend you, and this sword just happened to be in front of me, so I lent it to you without thinking."
If Tingyun refuses, the opportunity to be nurtured by him can be given to Jingyuan and the others in the future. This sword is the last page of that immortal ship craftsman's life. Long years have passed, and he wants to turn the page and take a look.
Are you confident you can truly draw this sharp blade?
Tingyun was stunned for a moment, a complex expression flashing across her face, from surprise to deep thought, and then from deep thought to self-mockery.
At the same time, she was unaware that this was not the only opportunity. She assumed that if she refused, the Immortal Boat would have little chance of obtaining this sacred artifact.
She calmed herself, took a deep breath, and tried to compose herself: "Sir, you overestimate me. Even generals cannot truly unsheathe it. How could a mere soldier who has only practiced swordsmanship for two or three standard days possibly unsheathe it?"
Her voice carried a hint of helplessness and frustration, her shoulders seemed slightly heavy, her white fox ears drooped with a subtle curve, and her tail no longer swayed gently.
This sword is undoubtedly a divine weapon for the Immortal Ship, and this deity clearly also intends to bestow it upon the Immortal Ship, provided that someone can make this sword reveal its true sharpness.
Without a doubt, among all six immortal ships, probably no one could have done it, let alone her, who was originally not good at martial arts.
A clear voice dispelled her gloomy mood and pulled her out of her thoughts: "I think you should have read about the history from the Three Tribulations of the Immortal Ship to the chaos of the suddenness."
Tingyun nodded: "That's natural."
"But if you had personally experienced these wars, how would your perspective on this history change? How would your beliefs change? Where would your life lead you?"
That clear voice continued to speak to her calmly.
"If you are willing to change, I can help you. Nurturing life and interpreting life are things I genuinely love to do."
"Moreover, the last wish of the legendary craftsman of the immortal ship who forged this divine weapon with my help was that this sword would shine with true brilliance in future generations."
"This is not a harsh test. If you can't handle it halfway through, or can't accept it afterward... I can also help you return to the person you were before you changed and erase the memories that you find hard to accept."
"Would you be willing to try to pull out the inner edge of this sword?"

P.S.: I created a group, but it got banned after two days without me noticing. [Edited: However, it's been revived recently; the mystery code is at the end, the author has something to say.]
To expand the facility, they even gave Tengzi a yearly fee of gold coins.
Also, I would be very grateful for your kind reminders to update.
And thank you all for your support. I will rarely use PS in the main text in the future, so please forgive me for these two instances.
Chapter 106 Who said I wouldn't be back until tomorrow night?
A flicker of excitement and a hint of confusion flashed in Tingyun's eyes; her heart was in turmoil.
In the silence, her slightly fragile body trembled almost imperceptibly under the immense pressure.
The white fox ears were no longer agile, tilting to reveal the heaviness in her heart; her tail no longer swayed lightly, but lay quietly behind her legs.
Eradicate Jianmu...
Unlike Jingyuan, Tingyun was unaware of the many influences of Jianmu, but she did know about the sudden chaos hundreds of years ago, when the Fengrao Envoy came for Jianmu, almost destroying half of the cave heavens and killing less than one-tenth of the Yunqi Army.
The difference between proactive hunting and passively luring enemies is clear, even though Tingyun is not an armed force.
The future described by this deity was alluring, but it was also like a massive mountain, pressing down on her so much that she could hardly breathe.
Even though the other party promised not to let her go down a path she didn't want to because of this.
Whether it was about the deity's kindness to her or about the future of Luofu, she had no reason to refuse.
But if she fails, she will regret it for the rest of her life. This is a huge mountain weighing on her shoulders, and only by bearing such a heavy responsibility can she bring about real change for Luofu.
Her hand gently stroked the hilt of the sword, feeling the coolness emanating from it; this composure complemented the sharpness of the blade.
Tingyun's worries stemmed not only from her lack of martial arts talent, but also from her knowledge that failure would not only cause her to suffer the pain of defeat, but would also disappoint the craftsman's high expectations.
The clear voice came again: "The Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow throughout the ages have all failed you, so how can you not fail them? And if the burden of failure becomes a mountain that crushes you, I will personally move it away and help you up."
