"May I take a look?" Mu Jianli's eyes lit up upon hearing the words 'Omega Sword Dao'.
"There will be opportunities in the future." Zhou Yi looked at Mu Jianli and said.
The Extreme Ghost Sword Technique, the Storm stance, was different from the sword moves of the Phantom Sword Dance. The Phantom Sword Dance could be used casually without much consumption, but the Storm stance was a sword move that consumed essence, qi, and spirit. Once used, it would consume a lot of divinatory energy. He could not use it casually.
Moreover, he was not an actor. How could he perform for Mu Jianli if he wanted to see it?
"Alright then." When Mu Jianli heard Zhou Yi's words, he nodded somewhat dejectedly.
"This is your Tengyu sword.”Zhou Yi watched as Mu Jianli threw the Tengyu Sword over.
"Young Master Zhou, you don't have a suitable sword right now. You can make do with this Soaring Feather Sword for now.”Mu Jianli said seriously as he looked at Zhou Yi after catching the Tengyu Sword.
"There's no need. The Tengyu Sword can't withstand my Sword Dao. If I use my Sword Dao with all my strength, it will definitely shatter. It was once your sword, so it would be a pity if it was destroyed. You should keep it as a memento.”Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head.
"Yes." Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Mu Jianli did not refuse. He nodded and put away the Tengyu Sword.
"Alright, you can go back now." Zhou Yi looked at Mu Jianli and said.
"Alright." Mu Jianli nodded.
………………
When they came, Zhou Yi and Mu Jianli rushed at their fastest speed and took a very short time. However, when they went back, Zhou Yi and Mu Jianli were not in a hurry and went back slowly. It took them nearly four hours to return to the villa.
" Young Master Zhou, I want to go back to the Sword Sect tomorrow. Don't misunderstand. I'm not running away. Since I lost the sword duel, I'll definitely fulfill my oath and marry you. It's just that I want to break through to a higher realm of the sword. I've been away from the Sword Sect for a long time. It's been almost three years. If I don't go back now, I might be forgotten by the disciples.”
"After I go back and settle the matters of the Sword Sect, I will come back to fulfill my oath.”
After returning to the villa, Mu Jianli looked at Zhou Yi and said.
"There's no need to explain this to me. Swordsmen keep their promises. You will definitely keep your word. I still have this bit of confidence.”Zhou Yi looked at Mu Jianli and said with a smile.
"I'll be back in a few months at most." Mu Jianli looked at the Book of Changes and said.
"Yes." Zhou Yi nodded.
"Oh right, this is for you. This is the Sword Master Token of our Sword Sect. The holder can enjoy the highest treatment in any of the Sword Sect's businesses. At the same time, you can mobilize the resources of the Sword Sect to the greatest extent. Although you're from the Zhou family and don't lack resources, the more resources, the better.”
Mu Jianli suddenly thought of something. With a flip of his palm, he took out a palm-sized sword-shaped token and handed it to Zhou Yi.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony." Zhou Yi nodded with a smile and received the sword-shaped token.
"You are my future husband. The Sword Sect is mine and also yours.”Mu Jianli chuckled.
"Yes." Zhou Yi smiled and nodded.
………………
At ten o'clock the next morning, Mu Jianli and Zhou Yi bid farewell and left.
Not long after Mu Jianli left, Zhou Yi's phone suddenly rang.
Zhou Yi took a look at the caller ID and realized that it was a call from Jessica. He immediately answered the call.
"Young Master." After Zhou Yi picked up the phone, Zi Yan's respectful voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.
"What is it?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Young Master, the Shen family has just sent an invitation to the auction. According to the Shen family, they will be holding an auction in Tiannan City in ten days.”Zi Yan said.
"Shen family's invitation to the auction? A large auction or a small auction? Who is the host?" Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes and asked when he heard Zi Yan's words.
"It's a large-scale auction. The host is the third daughter of the Shen family, Shen Ruyan. It's said that there's a treasure for enlightenment, the Bodhi Fruit, up for auction.”Zi Yan said respectfully.
"Alright, I understand. Send the invitation letter to me later.”Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed when he heard the words Bodhi Fruit.
"Alright, I'll send it over to Young Master later.”Zi Yan nodded and said.
Soon, the call was hung up.
"It seems that there is a difference between the novel and the real world. In the original novel, the Shen family's auction will only be held in Tiannan City after a long time. Now, it's actually brought forward so much. Could it be that I stole too many opportunities from Liang Chen, causing Liang Chen's protagonist halo to activate and give him another big opportunity?”
"Unfortunately, the main character's opportunity is mine. This time, I'll also be the one to intercept it.”
After Zhou Yi hung up the phone, the corners of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile as he thought.
Zhou Yi was certain that the Shen family's auction this time was the auction where Liang Chen had auctioned off the Tai'e sword.
The reason why Zhou Yi was certain was the Bodhi Fruit that Zi Yan had mentioned.
In this world, the Bodhi Fruit was a precious treasure that could increase one's comprehension for a short period of time. Those who had reached a bottleneck could directly break through after eating a Bodhi Fruit because of the increase in their comprehension.
Although the Bodhi Fruit was only effective for cultivators below the Martial Saint Realm and the Golden Core Realm, the peak of the Connate Realm and the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm were also below the Martial Saint Realm and the Golden Core Realm. If they took it, they could increase their chances of breaking through to the Martial Saint Realm or the Golden Core Realm by 50%.
From this, one could see how precious the Bodhi Fruit was. The more precious an item was, the rarer it was. The number of Bodhi Fruits in existence was definitely extremely rare, and the ones that could be auctioned could be counted on one's fingers.
Even the Shen family would not auction off a second Bodhi Fruit. The Shen family had only auctioned off Bodhi Fruits once, and that was during the auction of the Tai'e sword.
Right, what was worth mentioning here was the background of the Shen family.
The Shen family was a family founded by Shen Wansan's descendants. During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, Shen Wansan was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang because he was so rich that he could rival a country. His family was confiscated and used as the national treasury.
However, during the Jianwen period, Zhu Yunwen changed many of Zhu Yuanzhang's policies after he became the first Martial Saint.
During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, agriculture was valued and merchants were suppressed. Merchants were the lowest class of occupations, and the reason for the restriction was simple. They were afraid that merchants would be too rich and control too much power.
However, Zhu Yunwen had the power to suppress the world. No matter how much money merchants had, they were still paper tigers. Naturally, he would not do anything to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce.
Because of the deregulation, merchants developed rapidly. Shen Wansan's descendants who were lucky enough to survive also used Shen Wansan's talent. In a short period of time, they created a huge foundation.
In the end, the Shen family was directly incorporated by the Imperial family. With the Imperial family backing them, the Shen family's business grew bigger and bigger.
It was the only family in the world that was promoted to an aristocratic family as a merchant. Moreover, it was a top-notch aristocratic family. Today, the Shen family also had the State Guardian Martial Saint guarding it. Coupled with the countless wealth they controlled, the Shen family ranked extremely high among the aristocratic families.
