In the treasure vault of Swordforge Manor, Li Jingye and Manor Lord Yang Liwan sat opposite each other.
Not far away, Wang Xiaopang was curiously sizing up the weapons in the armory.
"Manor Lord! This treasure vault is an important place for your Swordsmith Manor. Is there anything wrong with us coming here?”
Li Jingye broke the silence and asked.
However, Yang Li Wan didn't answer his question directly. Instead, he asked,"What do you think of my Yuhuan?"
Li Jingye frowned at Yang Liwan's question, but he still told the truth,""Natural beauty, beautiful as a flower, capable of literature and martial arts, and intelligent beyond ordinary.”
"How is he worthy of you?"
"Manor Lord! Miss Yuhuan and I have only met once. We are not familiar with each other and have no feelings for each other.”
"Isn't it inappropriate to talk about marriage so rashly?”
Li Jingye didn't know what Yang Liwan wanted, so he didn't dare to agree.
"Haha! You're quite upright!"
"If you were to join my Swordforge Manor, you would be able to enjoy endless glory and wealth. If it were anyone else, they would probably have already squeezed their heads out.”
Yang Liwan's words made Li Jingye fall silent.
Although it was good to be rich, it was no longer his pursuit.
After becoming an immortal cultivator, his horizons had been broadened. He had a desire for longevity and a passion for great power.
Yang Liwan had been secretly observing Li Jingye, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw Li Jingye's indifferent expression.
"Actually, I had no choice but to entrust the jade pendant to you.”
"Our Sword Crafting Mountain Village has poured in the blood and sweat of countless predecessors to finally forge a peerless divine weapon.”
"This is the pride of my Sword Crafting Mountain Manor, and also the calamity of my Sword Crafting Mountain Manor.”
"You should know that our Swordforge Manor will be facing an increasingly powerful enemy.”
"We can resist the power of mortals, but the power of the cultivation world is not something we can resist.”
Yang Liwan's long sigh made Li Jingye understand the current situation of Swordforge Manor.
However, he was still a little puzzled and could not help but ask,"Why didn't the Manor Lord hand over the Spirit Tool?”
"Do you think you can protect my Sword Crafting Manor by giving it up?”
Li Jingye didn't get an answer. Instead, Yang Liwan asked him a question.
This made Li Jingye fall silent!
Indeed, the danger of Sword Crafting Mountain Village had never been the spirit weapon.
Not only did those people want the spirit weapon, but they also wanted the entire Sword Crafting Mountain Village.
As long as he could take down Swordforge Mountain Village, it would be equivalent to having an endless supply of spirit weapons.
As for Yang Liwan and the others, they naturally couldn't just sit there and wait to be caged.
In the end, they would probably perish together. Swordforge Manor would either have to retreat or be destroyed.
"Brother Jingye! I beg you to take the jade ring away!"
Just as Li Jingye was distracted, Yang Liwan suddenly stood up and begged.
Li Jingye quickly supported Yang Liwan and did not dare to accept his gift.
"Manor Lord, you're killing me!"
"Miss Yuhuan and I have no emotional foundation. It is inappropriate to talk about marriage.”
"But if it's just to protect Miss Yuhuan and take her away, then this junior can do it.”
Li Jingye was unwilling to betray himself by hook or by crook to achieve his goal. Yang Yuhuan was beautiful, but feelings could not be forced.
"You don't like my Yuhuan?"
"No!"
"Then why can't I marry her? Was it just because he didn't have any emotional foundation?”
"It's not a big deal to have no feelings to cultivate.”
"Immortals and mortals are different!"
The two of them suddenly fell silent.
No matter how beautiful Yang Yuhuan was, she was still a mortal woman. Without a spirit root, she could not cultivate.
She only had a lifespan of a hundred years. No matter how beautiful she was, she would still age.
This sentence made Yang Liwan speechless.
"My name is Li Wan, my brother Yang Ming."
"Father wants us to make a name for ourselves. Originally, Yang Ming was my real name, but I need to hide it, so I'm called Li Wan.”
"My younger brother and I have worked hard to manage the manor for decades. Finally, we have made Swordforge Manor famous in our hands.”
"But we are still mortals!"
"Without spiritual roots, even if we cultivate with all our might, we can only stop at Half-step to Inborn for the rest of our lives.”
"Immortals and mortals are different!"
"What a good line!"
"This is not only the pain of us mortals, but also the injustice of the heavens towards us.”
"What right do you have to possess spiritual roots, to pursue the Great Dao, to pursue longevity, and to wantonly kill and dictate the fate of others?”
"And we can only be as lowly as ants! I've been trampled and bullied by you!"
Yang Li Wan roared angrily, as if he had vented all the resentment that had been accumulated in his heart for many years.
His words made Li Jingye and Wang Xiaopang fall silent.
The two of them had only been cultivating for a short period of time, so they could understand Yang Liwan's unwillingness, anger, bitterness, and helplessness.
This made Li Jingye clench his fists and become even more determined to become an immortal.
At least he was lucky. The heavens had left him a door that led to the heavens.
He didn't want to be as helpless as Yang Li one day, unable to even protect the person he wanted to protect.
"You can choose some of the things inside and take them with you.”
After venting his anger, Yang Liwan regained his usual calmness. He said a few words to Li Jingye and Wang Xiaopang before turning around and leaving.
Li Jingye looked at Yang Liwan, who had gone through a lot of vicissitudes, and wanted to call out to him, but the words were stuck in his throat.
"Brother Ye! The weapons inside were all top-notch mortal weapons!”
"Let's pick one or two for self-defense. It'll definitely greatly increase our strength.”
Wang Xiaopang walked up excitedly and urged Li Jingye.
Li Jingye, who was a little distracted, collected his thoughts and walked silently to a row of racks filled with weapons.
The weapons here were dazzling. There were knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, and other weapons.
The weapons in the armory were obviously high-quality weapons that were crafted by the Sword Crafting Manor.
It was not easy to come here, so Li Jingye could not help but search the shelves carefully.
However, now that he had a flying sword, his horizons had become even higher. Ordinary swords and sabers were useless to him.
"Brother Ye! I'll go over there and see if there are any good treasures.”
Wang Xiaopang was very enthusiastic about choosing weapons. He even suspected that the so-called spiritual weapon might be hidden here.
Li Jingye didn't stop Wang Xiaopang, who was walking towards the weapons rack.
At this moment, the stone pagoda in his body suddenly trembled. There seemed to be a suction force that was attracting Li Jingye.
This made him a little suspicious and he could not help but go deeper.
After taking several turns, he arrived at a corner of the treasure vault.
His gaze fell on an inconspicuous fire rod. The rod was completely black and was currently used as a leg support for the weapon rack.
The mysterious attraction came from the fire stick.
When Li Jingye picked up the fire stick, the trembling stone tower stopped moving.
The strange feeling disappeared, and Li Jingye could not help but wonder if it was an illusion.
