Ren Baqian looked at the shabbily dressed Ning Caichen, who was crying while holding onto the sword. His heart was filled with "What the f * ck, is this even possible?"
Tonight's drama came one after another. From the sound of the sword, to Ning Caichen being blasted unconscious, to the arrival of the flying sword, the plot was simply full of twists and turns.
Although he didn't know where this sword was originally located in Great Xia, Lan City wasn't close to the border. For it to fly here in ten minutes, it should be at least at the speed of sound, right?
Such a small sword that was flying at the speed of sound was actually shot down by an arrow.
It gave Ren Baqian the feeling that a fighter jet was shot down by an arrow. It was enough to make the entire Earth tremble. Putting aside the fact that this sword could fly by itself and be accurately guided, the fact that it was shot down by an arrow was more shocking to Ren Baqian than the flying sword itself.
However, such a thing really happened in front of him. Ren Baqian looked at the sword in Ning Caichen's hand. There was a small dot in the middle of the sword, and there were cracks extending outwards from that dot. It gave people the feeling that this sword would shatter with a light knock.
Previously, when this sword came down, there was a rumbling sound in the air. However, after a series of explosions, the rumbling sound disappeared.
At this time, the only person who could do such a thing and shoot it down with an arrow was probably the empress. He didn't know whether the empress knew how to shoot arrows, but in terms of strength, since she was the seventh most powerful expert in the world, she definitely had the ability to shoot arrows.
Thinking of this, Ren Baqian was almost certain that the sword was shot down by the empress.
For example, he had seen Quan Yonglin and Quan Yonghe in action before. Even though they could shock him, it was like comparing heaven and earth to this.
Even if other people were stronger than them, they wouldn't be that much stronger.
It was also impossible for the imperial guards to have such strength.
It could only be the empress, and she was probably in a bad mood. Just like those unlucky people who went to challenge the empress last year.
Thinking of this, Ren Baqian looked at Ning Caichen with some pity. He had to admit that he was really miserable.
Even though Ren Baqian didn't understand anything, it wasn't hard to imagine how precious this sword was.
When he encountered a life-threatening situation, he summoned the sword over and actually met the empress who was in a bad mood. In the end, he ended up like this.
Ren Baqian now had the leisure to daydream. Just now, when the sword flew over, those wolves seemed to have sensed something and retreated into the darkness, leaving behind two corpses and two severely injured wolves.
Ning Caichen cried for a long time before Ren Baqian patted him on the shoulder and lamented, "My condolences!"
Ning Caichen cried even more miserably when he heard this.
Ren Baqian felt that it was better to let him cry on his own for a while.
It's not a sin for a man to cry.
Since Ren Baqian had nothing to do, he filled the magazine of his pistol with bullets and sat there in a daze. After a long time, Ning Caichen finally calmed down. He stroked the blade of the sword with a lifeless look on his face. Ren Baqian then asked curiously, "Can this sword be restored?"
"I need a large amount of materials to recover." Ning Caichen's face was gloomy.
"That's good." Ren Baqian comforted her. "It's good that you can recover."
Ning Caichen continued to feel depressed.
"You are a sword immortal?" Ren Baqian asked again. At the very least, the ability to summon a sword from Great Xia with a shout was awesome.
"I'm just a sword slave." Ning Caichen shook his head bitterly.
"Why do you say so?" Ren Baqian asked curiously. He was still very interested.
"You haven't heard of it?" Ning Caichen turned to look at him. Seeing him nod his head, he lowered his head and stroked the sword again. "There's a sword mountain in this world. There are 3,000 spirit swords on it, and Green Bead is one of them.
Every once in a while, a spirit sword will sense the birth of a person who meets the requirements and will automatically fly out from the sword mountain to the person who meets the requirements.
Others call these people chosen by spirit swords sword masters and are extremely envious of them. In fact, we are just sword slaves … "
Ren Baqian and Ning Caichen exchanged questions and answers. Ning Caichen didn't hide anything about sword masters and let Ren Baqian understand what was going on. Only then did he know that it wasn't easy to be a sword master.
Being chosen by a spirit sword was a good thing in a certain sense. One didn't need to practice and could become a famous expert with a spirit sword in hand.
Furthermore, depending on the spirit sword in hand, one's strength would also be different. Among them, the weakest was an Earth Wheel expert and was even stronger than an ordinary Earth Wheel expert. This was an achievement that most practitioners could only dream of in their lifetime.
However, in this world, there were gains and losses. This saying couldn't be more true when it came to sword masters.
First of all, they couldn't practice. It was unknown whether they were chosen by spirit swords because they had a special constitution that prevented them from practicing. There had never been a sword master who could practice. At most, they could only practice some simple martial arts. Other than that, they were no different from ordinary people.
For example, Ning Caichen was like this. If he had a spirit sword in hand, he would be an expert above the Earth Wheel level. Even most Earth Wheel experts wouldn't be his match. If he didn't have a spirit sword in hand, he was no different from an ordinary person, which was why he was in such a sorry state.
Secondly, if a sword master always carried a sword with him, he rarely lived a long life. This was because the spirit sword would absorb the sword master's essence. It wasn't a big deal in a short period of time, but it would damage his lifespan over a long period of time. The earliest sword masters rarely lived more than 40 years old.
Therefore, even though others called them sword masters, they generally thought of themselves as sword slaves. As the name suggested, they were like slaves of spirit swords. Even though spirit swords could make them stronger, they had to pay a huge price.
Later on, an extremely talented person developed a type of Sword Nurturing Pool. He built a pool according to a specific method and threw all kinds of precious materials into it to nurture the sword.
In this way, apart from reducing the sword master's essence and lifespan, he could also use some special materials to enhance the power of the spirit sword, which was equivalent to increasing the sword master's strength.
These materials included minerals, plants, and even the blood of some specific animals. A special liquid was also required. However, the characteristics and preferences of every spirit sword were different. Other than the special liquid used to nurture the sword, the other materials were not the same.
Most of the time, the sword master had to personally go to the wilderness to try his luck and find materials that matched the spirit sword. Because the two materials were actually companions, the sword master would immediately know when he found a suitable material.
Ning Caichen's spirit sword was nurtured in the Sword Nurturing Pool. If he encountered any danger, he could just summon the spirit sword.
If he was near the Sword Nurturing Pool, the spirit sword could reach him in an instant.
He came to Dayao to look for opportunities and exchange some things. He didn't expect to be so unlucky. Green Bead was shot down by an arrow just as it was about to reach him. Furthermore, it was so badly damaged that he didn't know how long it would take for it to recover.
It could be said that he lost everything.
No wonder Ning Caichen looked like he had nothing to live for.
Ignoring the downcast Ning Caichen, Ren Baqian felt that this world was getting more and more exciting.
There were too many unknowns in this world and too many places that made Ren Baqian feel mysterious. The veil on the surface of this world was already so exciting. Ren Baqian didn't know what else was underneath.
