Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

Taishangmen, the courtyard.

"You're back?" Yun Wujing opened his eyes, looked at Yun Wuji and... the white horse behind him, and raised an eyebrow.

"It was a gift from a friend," Yun Wuji explained, patting the white horse.

Yun Wujing looked at his disciple with surprise. He himself had two friends, Li Su and Jian Cang, but his disciple didn't have a single friend. He was a little worried that his disciple would find friends after just one trip.

"Why don't you go out more often in the future?" Yun Wujing hesitated for a moment before asking.

Yun Wuji shook his head. You don't need too many friends.

“Master, I plan to go to the Holy Fire Sect in a while to kill a Wang Hai,” Yun Wuji then said.

"What? Your friend can reverse the situation and kill Wang Hai?" Yun Wujing asked in surprise.

"Yes." Yun Wuji nodded, thinking of Li Junsu.

He might have failed without Tian Geng, but one purpose of sending Tian Geng was to save his life, and since Tian Geng was his friend, he was bound to succeed.

"Go ahead," Yun Wujing nodded.

It was just a reverse cut across the sea; Yun Wujing had done the same thing back then.

It's perfectly normal that Yun Wuji is even more talented than he was back then.

Rather, it was more accurate to say that Yun Wuji's decision to speak at this point was somewhat unexpected; he had thought Yun Wuji wasn't planning on doing this anymore.

Looking back now, I realize how impetuous I was in my youth, and how I now laugh at myself in my old age.

Yun Wuji pulled the reins of his white horse and rode away. To him, being the number one in the world was insignificant; what mattered most was using that title to prove the Supreme Sect.

His ancestors may not have cared, but he wanted the world to know.

Being number one in the world is a means, not an end.

......

Li Junsu looked at the starry sky and walked down the mountain.

It's time to go back and cultivate.

The moment Li Junsu stepped off the mountaintop, the colors of fireworks illuminated the night sky.

Li Junsu looked at the fireworks behind him and raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Yun Wuji to be so true to his word.

Li Junsu shook his head and walked down the mountain.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Li Junsu looked at the disappearing white horse and chuckled softly.

He mounted his horse and pulled on the reins.

"See you at the Grand Tournament." Li Junsu's voice faded into the wind.

......

Six doors, back hall.

"Blood recognition, nurturing?" Li Junsu said, looking at Tian Geng, and biting his fingertip.

A drop of bright red blood fell onto Tian Geng's brow, and a pale golden light suddenly shone brightly. Then, Li Junsu felt a large amount of knowledge suddenly being poured into his mind.

Li Junsu closed his eyes, processing Tian Geng's information.

After a while, Li Junsu opened his eyes, looked at Tian Geng on the table, and his eyes flashed with amazement.

"Is this the Heavenly Rank?" Li Junsu murmured.

The longsword he was wearing was only at the Xuan rank, and he was still somewhat dazed when he suddenly obtained a Heaven rank weapon.

Li Junsu's current setup is like a dog riding Lu Bu—what merit or ability does he possess?

Tian Geng is a versatile support-type immortal soldier.

Geng Gu: The evening star shines on the mask, which contains ancient close combat techniques.

Starfall: The star remnants inside can absorb starlight, gradually enhancing the mask's inherent effects.

Summoning Stars: Allows you to communicate with the distant Morning Star, which is Venus, the planet of war and destruction, and briefly possess it.

These are the three effects that Li Junsu has temporarily digested. Some of the words in them are really obscure, such as "the heavens are brilliant," "the gods and men are one," "never abandon each other in this life," and "to live and die together."

These words were utterly nonsensical, but Li Junsu was certain that the mask would strengthen itself when placed under starlight.

"It's time to strengthen the sword." Li Junsu looked at Tian Geng, but took out Zhao Han and muttered to himself.

Zhao Han was completely shattered in the ensuing battle.

Although it is said that only the inner elders of famous sects possess Earth-rank weapons, Fang Dayi and Shi Sheng control Juyi Tower. Is it really impossible for them to assemble an Earth-rank weapon?

The Chu family patriarch had already gathered the materials.

If the White Lotus Sect's Holy Maiden knew, she would definitely hurl insults at her. It was Old Dog Chu who tricked her; those materials were the result of her hard work in collecting them!

When the Holy Maiden heard the threat from the Chu family patriarch, she was so enraged that she killed the person on the spot.

Having obtained the Red Lotus Seed, she wouldn't have lost out; it was just a matter of accumulating it for a few more years. So the Holy Maiden simply ran away.

Unfortunately, she was still intercepted, perfectly illustrating what it means to lose everything, which is why the Holy Maiden hated the Black Lotus so much.

Li Junsu has become somewhat arrogant because of the Heavenly Soldiers, or rather, he has misjudged the wealth and status of people in the martial arts world.

Li Junsu had no idea that everyone was really poor. At this moment, he looked at Zhao Han and took out a letter.

Zhao Han needs to be reforged. Yes, reforged.

Li Junsu is a very sentimental person. Wangyue is still in the Sumeru Ring, and he will take it out from time to time to maintain it.

"Alright." Li Junsu looked at the contents of the letter and stood up.

Li Junsu reached out his hand, and Tian Geng flew back into his hand; this was the effect of the blood oath ceremony.

Li Junsu walked to the windowsill and placed Tian Geng in front of it. Under the starlight, Tian Geng emitted a faint blue halo.

Then, Li Junsu casually sat down and began to cultivate with his eyes closed.

.......

The next day, early in the morning.

"Send the letter." Li Junsu looked at the increasingly large Xue Ling and pointed to the letter.

Xue Ling tilted her head, then flew towards Li Junsu, threw herself into his arms, and then stopped moving.

Li Junsu was amused by the little guy. He held Xue Ling in one arm, picked up the letter in the other, and walked out of the back hall.

"Boss, good morning." Su An greeted Li Junsu.

"Perfect timing, deliver a letter for me." Li Junsu looked at Su An and tossed the letter over.

Su An glanced at the letter in Li Junsu's arms, then at the letter in his own hand, and twitched his lips.

"Is she the one who trusts me or the one who trusts me?" Su An thought helplessly, then followed his boss's back into the hall.

The vortex of yin energy reappeared, and a voice came from He Ning on the opposite side.

"Damn it, no wonder it's called the Ghost Control Sect. It's scary to see someone pop up so early in the morning, isn't it?" He Ning's cursing voice came from the other side.

"Kid, what do you want?" He Ning then looked at Li Junsu and spoke cheerfully.

“Chief Constable He, I plan to forge Zhao Han into a Class-Earth longsword,” Li Junsu explained.

“This is simple, the materials.” He Ning reached out his hand.

Li Junsu came to his senses and threw Zhao Han and the materials through the vortex of yin energy.

"This thing is really convenient," He Ning said, holding the materials.

"I'll make a copy of the basic techniques in a while," Su An said.

"That's good. I'll put in a good word for you then," He Ning nodded and smiled.

"Do you still want to reforge this broken sword?" He Ning asked in surprise as he drew Zhao Han.

"If possible, try your best." Li Junsu knew that this idea was a bit difficult for others.

"I understand. I'll deliver it to you personally." He Ning finished speaking, and the vortex of yin energy closed.

Li Junsu did not refute it; that was a weapon of the Earth Rank.
