I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 10: Senior is going to mentor Miss!

Bai Feier was also stunned by the scene before her. She stared at the fine cloud patterns on the sword hilt with fascination, and her hand holding the hilt trembled uncontrollably.

This soft sword, even with only a section drawn from its sheath, was already so sharp and imposing, radiating such pressure. It was unimaginable how powerful it would be when it fully revealed its edge! Her own swordsmanship was based on gentle and fluid changes, and the all-encompassing aura emanating from this sword was truly in perfect harmony with her!

And... it actually has a weapon spirit!

It's humming softly! Humming excitedly! It's calling her name!

This sword has already given birth to a complete "sword spirit"!

Like elixirs and cultivators, magical artifacts and weapons in the world are also classified into different levels: Immortal Emperor, Saint, Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. "Immortal Emperor" is also known as the upper three grades, while "Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow" is the lower four grades. Although there are quality distinctions below the Yellow grade, the difference is not significant. Only from the Yellow grade onwards is the real watershed, with each grade having a rather astonishing difference.

The Immortal grade is the strongest and has long been a legendary existence. It is said that once a magical weapon or halberd reaches the Immortal grade, it can transform into human form and has a high level of intelligence. Unless it actively recognizes a master, it can never be used by anyone. However, anything below the Immortal grade is still a rare find.

Even an Emperor-grade artifact possesses a mature spirit and is a peerless treasure capable of drawing upon the power of heaven and earth! Such treasures are rare, not to mention the Bai family, even among the few extraordinary forces in this realm. The royal family of the Sun Flame Dynasty possesses a Saint-grade sacrificial cauldron, which is only taken out every fifty years for offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for good fortune. Bai Feier's father, the patriarch of the Bai family, only possesses a "lower fourth-grade" Heaven-grade magic weapon, and this is a legacy passed down through generations of the Bai family!

Even though Bai Feier was the daughter of the clan leader and a prodigy of the clan, she couldn't use earth-grade weapons; those were only for elders. Otherwise, why would she risk venturing into the imperial secret realm just for a weapon?

But... the sword that Gu Heng gave her actually has such a complete weapon spirit. The intricate patterns on the scabbard and blade are not only exquisite, but also contain a mysterious intent that Bai Feier finds extremely difficult to understand!

This soft sword is definitely above the Heavenly Grade!

Could it be a divine weapon of the highest grade, a Saint-level weapon?!

She had seen her father's Heavenly Grade Sword before, but compared to this sword, the Heavenly Grade Sword was simply dim and incomparable!

Moreover, the weapon spirit was even calling her name, as if the sword was only happy because it was in her hands.

"Young Master Gu, this..."

Bai Feier stood there stunned, staring at the soft sword, unsure of how to react.

Gu Heng pouted a little embarrassedly. He knew that his sword was really useless, its only advantage being its appearance. However, Bai Feier didn't seem to be dissatisfied... she seemed to be attracted by the sword's exquisite appearance.

Even better.

A beautiful sword goes well with a beautiful woman!

"I made this sword casually a few years ago. It's not bad looking, but the quality isn't great either. However, since we believe in reciprocity, Miss Fei'er, please accept it."

"This can't really be considered scrap metal..."

Such a warm and kind tone immediately made Bai Feier feel a strong sense of goodwill, but even this sword was considered "not very good"... then weren't all her previous weapons just scrap metal?

It seems that compared to this kind of sacred weapon, even if you searched the entire Sunflame Dynasty, apart from the sacred sacrificial cauldron of the royal family, there would be nothing that could compare to this sword! That is indeed scrap iron.

Bai Mo trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief, but even more so with excitement. He had seen more than Bai Feier and was more skilled in cultivation. In fact, the moment he saw the sword, even though he couldn't touch it, he could feel the chilling sword aura that was firmly locked inside the scabbard!

Upon seeing that short section of the sword, he could even feel a chilling power flowing through it!

This sword is absolutely a sacred item, and the top-tier among sacred items!

Bai Mo couldn't help but look at Gu Heng, her heart surging with emotion.

It seems that this Senior Gu is planning to put a lot of effort into nurturing Bai Feier?

Not only did they detoxify her and restore her strength, but now they have even bestowed upon her such a divine weapon. If she were given enough resources to support her, what level would she reach in the future?

Bai Feier was excited for a moment, but finally suppressed the surging passion in her chest. She solemnly bowed to Gu Heng and said, "Thank you, Young Master Gu, for the sword."

"I should have declined, but since you have so sincerely given me this gift, I will cherish it." She tried her best to appear calm and composed, because she did not want the extraordinary person in front of her to think that she was the kind of woman who would be complacent and shallow after receiving a benefit. However, she did not know that in the eyes of others, her composure and calmness made her appear even more beautiful and extraordinary.

Gu Heng smiled and said, "Miss Fei'er, you're too kind."

It's alright, at least this nice-looking sword catches her eye.

Of all the "skills" the system gave Gu Heng, although they are all now at a "superb" level, they are actually learned in order of priority and according to preference. The first skill he practiced was "body tempering," which was mainly to make his body stronger. Next were "forging" and "medical techniques." This was because other skills, such as "fortune telling" and "calligraphy," were really useless.

Before Gu Heng opened this clinic, he mainly practiced "forging".

He thought he could become a blacksmith, making and repairing weapons for others, and earn money. But in reality, there was no future for ordinary blacksmiths, because no matter how well they forged, they could not compare to those "spiritual craftsmen" who had cultivation and made a living by forging.

Moreover, weapons are not very useful for ordinary people. In the end, Gu Heng still sheepishly went to practice "medical arts".

Ordinary people rely on medicine far more than they rely on forging.

Therefore, although his "forging" skills were already superb, he hadn't forged weapons for a long time.

Today, seeing that Bai Feier showed no disparagement towards his work, Gu Heng felt a slight resurgence of the passion for crafting that had been brutally suppressed by harsh reality.

……

They had already gained a lot, and Bai Feier also wanted to return to her family as soon as possible, so Gu Heng escorted them to the entrance of the clinic and watched them leave.

Bai Feier and Bai Mo walked on the streets of Qingmu City. They both felt that this visit had been very rewarding, especially Bai Feier. Her gaze kept drifting to the silver soft sword in her hand. She had just named the sword "Frostheart," and the weapon spirit responded that it liked the name.

"Miss, your trip today will benefit you for countless years to come."

Bai Mo sighed.

Bai Feier nodded. In fact, her greatest gain was not the restoration of her cultivation, nor the sword, but the profound awakening in her mind!

She had become too arrogant, and perhaps as a result lost her reverence and humility. She had also made too many mistakes, and ultimately, she inevitably fell into a trough. But that senior Gu must have known that her path was not yet over, but her mindset had to change.

After leaving the clinic, Bai Feier was already touched by Gu Heng's reclusive and simple nature.

In the Yan Dynasty, there was no one whose temperament could compare to his.

And he really is quite handsome. If he were really young enough, that would be even better... Bai Feier didn't know why these thoughts had popped into her head. She felt extremely embarrassed and quickly wiped them away.

"I never imagined that such a master would be living in seclusion in this Greenwood City..."

Bai Mo has many things to say and feel emotional about.

"After returning to the clan, I must explain Senior Gu's matter to the clan in detail, and let them... humph!"

Bai Feier gave a cold snort, then sighed softly. She looked up at the sky, her eyes clear as water.

Within the Bai family, too many people have laughed at her, but this time, when she returns to the clan, she will surely make those people slap their faces in the face!

“Miss, the Imperial Grand Competition is about to begin. You can definitely participate in this competition, win the crown, and make the world admire you.”

Bai Mo reminded her. Bai Feier thought for a moment. She had always been the most prominent one. Originally, she was going to win first place in this Imperial Competition. Unfortunately, after being poisoned and falling from grace, she suffered ridicule and mockery from countless people who took advantage of her misfortune. She was no longer able to participate in the Imperial Competition.

But this time, her mindset has been completely transformed under Gu Heng's guidance, and she has also obtained such a divine weapon. She will definitely be number one in this imperial competition!

If Senior Gu could be here to witness this, I would surely make him proud...
