"Your Majesty, I'm still injured." Ren Baqian was at a loss. He was still thinking about the knife under the mattress.
"My wounds have healed. At most, I'll just lose some blood. Or do you want me to spar with you personally? "The empress was so angry that she had a headache. He had never seen someone who disliked martial arts so much. In Dayao, who wouldn't work hard when given such an opportunity?
At this moment, there was still a faint scar left on Ren Baqian's wound. The effects of the black mud cream could be said to be miraculous.
It was just that the wounds were so painful that they made people want to die.
Just like that, Ren Baqian's six hours a day of martial arts practice became eight hours a day of martial arts practice.
Ren Baqian felt that he had succeeded in courting death.
If he had known earlier, he would have let the empress do a double team.
Ren Baqian dragged his exhausted body as if he had just been ravaged by someone. He returned to his room, closed the door and windows, and took out the knife from under the mattress.
For the entire day, his mind was filled with the Ruyi Jingu Saber. It could be long or short, and he did not know if it could be big or small.
"Did I come across a treasure?" Ren Baqian had this thought in his mind for the whole day. Once he returned, he hurriedly checked it out.
Ren Baqian felt that he knew very little about this world.
For example, the weapons used by the aboriginal warriors were all made of ordinary fine iron. He had never heard of any Heaven-grade weapons.
It just so happened that there was a spirit sword in this world, something that even Newton and Darwin's coffins could not contain.
The people in this world knew very little about spiritual swords. Even those sword masters didn't know much about them. At least, this was what Ning Caichen said.
It gave Ren Baqian the feeling that there were still many unknown things in this world. Even the empress didn't know much about these things.
As a result, even though he was shocked by the Ruyi Jingu Saber, he didn't find it hard to accept. Instead, he wanted to know what kind of treasure it was.
At this point in time, the saber in Ren Baqian's hand had reverted to its original form of a short saber. It was no longer more than a foot long. What happened in the morning seemed like an illusion.
Ren Baqian held the hilt of the saber in his hand and pointed it upwards. "Long."
"Grow longer!"
"Big!"
"Grow bigger!"
…
Ren Baqian struggled for a long time, but the dagger in his hand did not react at all.
If it wasn't for the knife that pierced his arm in the morning, he would have thought that it was an illusion.
Thinking about it, the only difference between this time and this morning was that there was blood in the morning, but now there was none. Could it be that this thing could recognize its owner with blood? But he had dripped blood in the morning.
Ren Baqian thought about it and felt that this was the only possibility. He wasn't willing to give it a try. He clenched his teeth and cut his arm again. Then, he allowed the fresh blood from his arm to drip onto the blade of the saber while he carefully observed the changes in the saber.
"Grow longer!" With a thought from Ren Baqian, the blade suddenly elongated from one foot to two feet.
Moreover, the appearance of the saber had also changed a little. The originally somewhat blunt front end had become sharper.
"Grow longer!" Ren Baqian continued to mutter. In the morning, the saber was one meter long, which was three feet long. Now, it was still one foot short.
As the fresh blood continued to drip onto the blade, the Ruyi Jingu Saber grew another 10 centimeters after much effort.
The blood that had flowed onto the saber did not spill out at all. Instead, it began to fade and eventually disappeared into the saber, as if it had been absorbed by the saber.
"This thing doesn't recognize its owner by dripping blood. Does it suck blood?" Ren Baqian suddenly realized this problem.
"Moreover, it seems like the more blood it sucks, the longer it grows? Or does it change according to its will? "
"Widen! Grow bigger! " Ren Baqian experimented for a long time and finally confirmed that the saber had indeed grown longer, but its width and thickness remained the same.
Ren Baqian frowned. He first wiped his wound with a cloth and applied the black mud cream. This was the leftover from the morning that the doctor didn't take away.
He had already lost a lot of blood in the morning. If he continued to bleed, he reckoned that he would really die from excessive blood loss.
After treating the wound, Ren Baqian held the saber and muttered "Grow". The saber changed back to its original shape.
"Grow" This time, the saber still grew longer, but it was only half a meter long.
"It seems that the blood that this thing sucks will be consumed, or rather, it will decrease over time. Therefore, when I came back and tried to make the saber change, there was no reaction. "
"This is considered a good thing, right?" Ren Baqian held the hilt of the saber and sized it up carefully. Just from its appearance, this saber didn't look outstanding. However, just from the fact that it could grow and shrink, one could tell that it wasn't an ordinary item.
"This isn't a spirit sword, right?" Ren Baqian thought about Ning Caichen's spirit sword and what he said. It shouldn't be.
The Spirit Sword had its own Sword Spirit, and when wielding the Spirit Sword, it could greatly increase the strength of the Sword Master, although the price was the consumption of the Sword Master's life force.
However, this knife did not react at all when he held it. Instead, it sucked blood and grew shorter and longer. This did not match Ning Caichen's description of the Spiritual Sword.
From the looks of it, it was another kind of treasure.
In any case, this saber should be considered a good thing. Ren Baqian's first thought was to give it to the empress. After thinking about it carefully, he could only give it to the empress. Otherwise, it wouldn't be of much use in his hands unless he sent it to the laboratory. However, he really didn't dare to send this kind of thing to the laboratory. Something big would definitely happen.
At the thought of this, Ren Baqian felt somewhat happy.
After all, he still didn't know how much he admired the empress in his heart. Was it 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or even 10%? However, he was sure that he liked her very much and that she was extremely important to him.
Ren Baqian didn't feel reluctant to give this treasure to her. Instead, he was very happy.
However, just as he stood up, he hesitated and felt that it would be better to wait for a few days. If he gave it to her now, his previous injuries might be exposed.
Just like that, three days later, Ren Baqian took the short saber to Yangxin Palace Hall.
"Your Majesty, I found a treasure."
"Oh?" The empress straightened her body and was slightly curious. Ren Baqian had been in the palace for the past few days, how could he obtain a treasure?
"This short saber." Ren Baqian looked like he was presenting a treasure. He handed the short saber to the empress and was prepared to keep her in suspense. In a while, he would show the empress how long this saber could grow and shrink.
The empress took the short saber from Ren Baqian's hand. It was wrapped in an ordinary leather scabbard and the handle was also wrapped in a layer of animal skin. It didn't look precious at all.
Ren Baqian casually took the short saber out of the scabbard. It was only about a foot long, slightly thick, and the front was blunt. The body of the saber didn't look sharp and even had a few rice-grain-sized nicks.
Ren Baqian had a proud look on his face. This saber definitely didn't look any different from the outside. It was just an ordinary, slightly worn-out short saber.
He had it for so long. If he hadn't been injured that day, he wouldn't have discovered it.
The empress initially thought that Ren Baqian had really found a treasure. However, upon closer inspection, it was indeed an ordinary short saber. She couldn't help but raise her head and look at Ren Baqian.
"Your Majesty, this short saber is indeed a treasure. Previously, I taught a set of hemostasis techniques at the Chen Family's medicine shop and saved a pregnant woman. The pregnant woman's husband gave this saber to me as a token of gratitude. At first, I thought it was just an ordinary short saber. I didn't expect to find out that there was a secret hidden within it this morning … "Ren Baqian told the empress about the origin of this saber as if he was narrating a story.
As the empress listened, she caressed the body of the saber and flicked it with her finger.
"Clang! Clang!"
Ren Baqian's eyes widened all of a sudden. His mouth, which was originally talking incessantly, couldn't even utter a single word.
It broke! It broke! It actually broke!
He saw that with that flick of the empress's finger, the body of the saber immediately became shorter. The tip of the saber drew an arc and fell to the ground.
The empress looked at the broken edge of the saber. It wasn't hollow and there wasn't anything hidden inside. She raised her head and looked at him doubtfully.
