That idiot from the Sword Sect turned out to be a lucky charm.

After making a ruckus inside for a while, Lin Zhifeng and his group dispersed and quickly sat down to wait for class to begin.

The servants waiting outside the hall are now quite lively.

Qingfeng was dressed neatly and cleanly today, and the jade pendant at his waist was quite eye-catching. As soon as he arrived, he was surrounded by the other servants.

Everyone was already curious about Lin Zhifeng's recovery and wanted to find out as much as possible for their master. Because of this, Qingfeng also became the focus of everyone's attention. Besides, Qingfeng used to be the least promising of the menial servants; everyone assumed he was the most pitiful and pathetic one. Now that he had turned his life around and was doing better than everyone else, how could they not be envious?

Aside from marveling at Qingfeng's good fortune, one can only admire that his loyalty finally paid off.

Mingyue was the most envious among the onlookers. They started from the same point, but now that he saw Qingfeng getting so many benefits, he was furious.

Mingyue thought bitterly: If I hadn't made the wrong choice, if I had stayed by the idiot's side a little longer, would Qingfeng have gotten all these benefits?

He suppressed his resentment and pretended to be enthusiastic as he approached Qingfeng, "Congratulations, Qingfeng."

When Qingfeng saw that it was Mingyue who had come to chat with him, he greeted him warmly as well.

Mingyue couldn't help but ask, "Qingfeng, I heard that Young Master's previous mental instability was due to an incomplete soul. Now that his soul has returned, he is said to have exceptional talent, and the sect is going to focus on nurturing him. Is that all true? I'm truly happy for Young Master!"

Qingfeng said, "Of course it's true! It's more real than pearls! The young master is completely different now than before. In just a few days, he broke through to the Golden Core stage. The elders all say he has a bright future!"

Qingfeng casually stroked the storage jade pendant at his waist, saying with some worry, "But Mingyue, let me tell you, it seems the young master has lost his memory. He doesn't remember much about the past. He's even forgotten how we took care of him." He then added happily, "Fortunately, the young master is still generous. Hearing that I've always been his servant, he rewarded me with this jade pendant, a bottle of Initial Yuan Pills, and Foundation Establishment Pills. And so, I successfully established my foundation. Ah, thanks to the young master! At least my lifespan has been extended to 150 years. Following him might bring other benefits. If I serve him well in the future, he might even reward me with a Golden Yuan Pill."

Seeing that Mingyue was about to break down, he teased him, "It's a pity you left a step too early, otherwise, with your abilities, you would definitely have gotten all these benefits too. Hmm, I'm afraid you would have gotten even more than me!"

Mingyue's mind started working after hearing what he said. He had previously dumped the fool and gone to seek refuge with Lin Jun. Although Lin Jun had taken him in, he didn't value him and treated him as a dispensable servant.

Lin Jun had many unruly servants around him, and they wouldn't allow him to get close to Lin Jun at all. He spent a lot of spirit stones to bribe his way into finally securing a stable position by Lin Jun's side. But he was just a peripheral figure and didn't get any benefits.

If the original owner, Lin Zhifeng, was living a miserable life, that would be one thing; if Mingyue wasn't doing well now, that would be acceptable too. She could even console herself: at least it's better than being around a fool.

Now, the fool isn't foolish anymore; he's making room for Qingfeng to pick up the scraps.

Since Qingfeng said that Lin Zhifeng doesn't remember what happened when he was a fool, it's not impossible for him to make up a reason and try to get back to him.

Judging from how generous he is with Qingfeng, and how he seems to believe everything Qingfeng says, even if he's not completely stupid now, he's probably still naive and easily fooled. It's better to stick to familiar customers and scam regulars; it's more cost-effective and has a higher return.

Having made up his mind, he said to Qingfeng, "I was just about to go and congratulate you on the return of your soul. I'll come to see you when I have time."

Qingfeng said, "Alright, it's very quiet there, just the young master and I. Come and sit down, let's tell the young master about the past, maybe he'll remember!"

Mingyue gave an awkward, fake smile. "There's no need for him to remember. I think it's good that he has amnesia."

Mingyue was planning how to return to Lin Zhifeng's place, where Lin Zhifeng had already started teaching.

Today's speaker, Ding Mo, is widely recognized as the top genius of the younger generation in the Sword Sect. At the age of twenty, Ding Mo had already reached the Nascent Soul stage. Looking across the entire cultivation continent, he can be considered one of the most outstanding geniuses.

Ding Mo was initially selected from a small sect under the Sword Sect. Because he displayed outstanding talent at a young age, he was hailed as a genius that appears only once in a millennium.

Normally, the Sword Sect Master Lin Yuan should have taken him as a disciple and personally taught him, but because the Sect Master was already burdened with worldly affairs and had a mentally challenged son to take care of, the Grand Elder had no choice but to take Ding Mo as his personal disciple.

Ding Mo was exceptionally talented and was recruited by several large sects, but he declined them all and only came to participate in the Sword Sect's selection, aiming for the sect leader Lin Yuan. However, he was unable to become Lin Yuan's disciple, which left him with some regret.

Ding Mo was giving a lecture to the Golden Core disciples today. As soon as he took his seat, he noticed Lin Zhifeng sitting in the first row below.

Ding Mo came to the Sword Sect when he was young and has been there for more than ten years. During this time, he met Lin Zhifeng many times. At that time, Lin Zhifeng was still a mentally challenged person. Although he was good-looking, his silly behavior made him hard to like.

A few days ago, Ding Mo heard from his master that Lin Zhifeng's soul had returned and he was no longer stupid. Now, he still looks the same, but his eyes are now sparkling, and he's quite dashing and charming. It's truly amazing how fate works!

Ding Mo looked down at the audience, his gaze sweeping over each face. The Golden Core disciples below quickly sat up straight, and very few dared to meet his eyes.

Of course, Lin Zhifeng was one of the very few. He narrowed his peach blossom eyes and looked at Ding Mo with a smile.

Ding Mo didn't know what he was laughing at, so he just nodded slightly and said, "Now that you've advanced to the Golden Core stage, you can go to the Sword Tomb to choose a spirit sword when you have time." After saying that, he searched for Lin Jun and said to him, "You can come along too."

Lin Zhifeng was looking at him because of this matter—Ding Mo was currently in charge of the Sword Sect's sword selection.

He was overjoyed to hear Ding Mo's words, and Lin Jun, who had also received the notification, was equally delighted. It should be known that the selection of swords at the Sword Tomb was the most important event for the cultivators of the Sword Sect!

There is a sacred place behind the Sword Sect, a place where no idlers are allowed to enter – the Sword Tomb.

Although it's called a "tomb," a sword tomb isn't actually a graveyard for swords. To be precise, it's more like a gallery for displaying swords.

The Sword Sect's Sword Tomb now contains several thousand spirit swords.

The Sword Tomb was originally created by a powerful being who had ascended to immortality in ancient times. He set up a magic array on the back mountain, leaving his spiritual sword, which he used before his ascension, within the sect, where it was nurtured. Later, those in the Sword Sect who ascended also followed this example, leaving their spiritual swords within the sect. In addition, the swords of some cultivators in the Sword Sect who did not ascend, or who perished for various reasons, are also stored in the Sword Tomb.

These swords, nurtured and upgraded by their previous owners, mostly possess sword spirits, each a peerless masterpiece. Now, these treasured swords await their destined owners in the sword tomb, where they will be able to see the light of day again and re-enter the martial world with their new masters.

One of the rules of the Sword Sect is that any cultivator who breaks through to the Golden Core stage can obtain the qualification to choose a sword from the Sword Tomb.

Of course, this is because most of the swords in the Sword Tomb are spirit swords. Rather than saying that people choose swords, it's more accurate to say that the swords also choose people.

Imagine this: you stand in the Sword Tomb, and you can't draw any of the swords, nor does any of them want to go with you. Wouldn't that be an awkward situation?

However, Lin Zhifeng was always full of confidence and wasn't worried at all about this happening to him. He just wanted to quickly choose an awesome spirit sword, master his swordsmanship, and then dominate the world.

Please forgive the occupational hazard of a hardcore PvP player of a cultivation game, but this guy is not a normal cultivator, is he? If his sect leader father came back and knew that he was thinking like this, wouldn't he be so angry that he would give him a good beating?

After explaining the sword selection process, Ding Mo began his lecture. Their classes didn't have specific topics; it was mostly just sharing experiences. Ding Mo spoke very casually, and the students weren't paying much attention.

get out of class ended quickly, and Ding Mo, Lin Jun, and Lin Zhifeng agreed on a time to go to the Sword Tomb to choose a sword, and then they all went home.
