This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

"Your family seems quite extravagant," Lu Qingshan said straightforwardly, seeing that Zang Xiaojian didn’t need it, he put all the jade slips on the table into his storage ring.

"What do you think is the relationship between Mo Yan and Madam Mo with the Mo Family Head we are looking for?" Zang Xiaojian’s eyes sparkled with a hint of smugness, "I probed Madam Mo, and she came to settle on Jiaolong Island twenty years ago while pregnant. This timing is very odd."

"It seems you’re not just busy eating; you also know how to gather information," Lu Qingshan chuckled. The issue Zang Xiaojian raised was naturally not overlooked by him, not to mention, he had much more information than Zang Xiaojian.

Lu Qingshan pointed out, "Three points—first, they all share the Mo surname. This point is a bit far-fetched but worthy of note is Mo Yan’s identity as an Artifact Refiner.

Artifact refining, aside from talent, heritage is extremely important. For Mo Yan to become a master, there must be either an Artifact Master guiding him or a complete artifact refining heritage behind him.

The second point is about the timing you mentioned—twenty years ago, the Dragon Spring Mo Family was destroyed, and Madam Mo coincidentally appeared on Jiaolong Island at that time, which is too much of a coincidence.

The last point, neither Madam Mo nor Mo Yan are Sword Cultivators, yet they possess so many items associated with sword cultivators, which is peculiar.

But if they are from a Sword Casting Family, these three points can all be reasonably explained."

"Bam!" Zang Xiaojian excitedly knocked on the table.

"However," Lu Qingshan continued, "Now, a major question remains—if it’s as we suspect, why do we only see Madam Mo and not the Mo Family Head.

Furthermore, it’s clear that Mo Yan is unaware of his origins. Why would Madam Mo not reveal the matters of the Mo Family to Mo Yan? What exactly happened?"

"Indeed, it’s very strange." Hearing Lu Qingshan put it that way, Zang Xiaojian frowned, looking expectantly at Lu Qingshan, "Do you know the reason?"

Lu Qingshan shook his head, "To find out the underlying reasons, we might only discover them once we meet this Mo Family Head."

"However," Lu Qingshan paced gracefully, "I always feel that Mo Yan and Madam Mo will be crucial in acquiring the Three-feet Edge."

...

The young girl rambled on for a long while before finally leaving Lu Qingshan’s room.

With matters concluded, Lu Qingshan took out the Primordial Spirit Sword Control Technique given by Mo Yan. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Would you like to learn the skill: ’Primordial Spirit Sword Control Technique’?"

"Yes!"

"Detected ’Liuyan Sword Control Technique’ (lv5) does not meet the learning conditions, unable to learn this skill!"

"Detected talent ’Innate Swordseed’, spending three thousand experience points, learning ’Primordial Spirit Sword Control Technique’...."

"You have successfully mastered ’Primordial Spirit Sword Control Technique’, Divine Sense +2!"

"Detected that the player has mastered a Sword Control Technique, higher tier Sword Control Technique will automatically overwrite the lower tier Sword Control Technique, ’Liuyan Sword Control Technique’ has been overridden, Liuyan Sword Control Technique experience points automatically converted to Primordial Spirit Sword Control Technique."

"Primordial Spirit Sword Control Technique upgraded to lv2 (300/7500), Divine Sense +2!"

After mastering the Primordial Spirit Sword Control Technique, Lu Qingshan felt a mysterious and profound power merging into his Divine Soul. In that instant, his Vital Essence surged, reaching a new peak.

This was the impact of his Divine Soul strength increasing by twenty percent.

Lu Qingshan glanced at his attribute panel again.

After slaying a Golden Core Cultivator of the Sea God Sect, his experience points once again reached fifty thousand.

After a brief contemplation, Lu Qingshan left ten thousand experience points as a base and allocated the remaining forty thousand into the Flying Sword Technique, raising the level of his Flying Sword Technique to sixteen.

In the moment his experience points were allocated, Lu Qingshan had a burst of clarity in his mind, and insights spontaneously emerged, allowing him to feel his control over the Flying Sword climb another level.

A moment later, Lu Qingshan’s closed eyes slowly opened.

Phew!

Lu Qingshan extended a hand, and the Peach Wood Sword shot out horizontally, moving around the room like a fish swimming through water, incredibly fast yet exceedingly nimble.

95% of the speed of sound.

After receiving a significant upgrade in his Flying Sword Technique, the speed of Lu Qingshan’s flying sword had increased slightly again, inching closer to the supersonic speed, the first realm of the Flying Sword.

He was currently only at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Even though increasing the speed of the flying sword closer to the speed of sound became more challenging, he should be able to break through to the first layer realm before reaching the Golden Core stage at this rate.

If he really managed to achieve this step, by then, with just his Flying Sword Technique alone, Lu Qingshan could almost dominate amidst the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The next day.

Mo Yan handed a jade slip to Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian.

"This contains the information you requested. In the past twenty years, there were four individuals who purchased large quantities of Sangluo wine on the island, all from sizable merchant families, which isn’t surprising.

In addition, there were over three hundred individuals who purchased Sangluo wine continuously over these twenty years. Each person’s detailed information is recorded in this jade slip."

"However," Mo Yan paused and hesitated, "among these people’s names, there isn’t anyone who suddenly appeared on Jiaolong Island in the last twenty years as you mentioned.

Everyone on the list has a clear origin and background, visible at a glance, all natives born and bred on the island."

"Oh?" A glint flashed in Lu Qingshan’s eyes.

Indeed, the progress of the matter was not as smooth as he had hoped.

"Then, thank you very much, Master Mo." Lu Qingshan bowed to Mo Yan.

Mo Yan nodded, "Now, you discuss."

...

"What should we do next?" Zang Xiaojian sniffled, quite vexed, "As Mo Yan said, if all the people on the list are citizens of Jiaolong Island, surely there can’t be the existence of the Mo Family Head."

"Or could it be that Mo Yan is hiding something?"

Lu Qingshan shook his head, "Unlikely. If he intended to hide something, he wouldn’t have revealed so much information, allowing us to infer his relationship with the Mo Family. Such a foolish act of trying to hide the sky with one hand."

"Then?"

"Identities and origins can be faked," Lu Qingshan’s eyes gleamed, "Hearing is falsehood, seeing is believing, we should go through this list exhaustively!"

...

In the main hall of the Sea God Sect.

The Great Elder of the Sea God Sect, his hair fully white, stood above the main seat, his face grim.

The atmosphere inside the hall was oppressively tense.

"Han Bo, along with Han Qing, Han Lang, and Han Yi, four Golden Core Cultivators, went to slay the Dragon Slaying Saber Cultivator but died tragically without even sending a spirit message for help," the Great Elder of the Sea God Sect said angrily. "The power of the Dragon Slaying Saber far exceeds our expectations.

Right now, as the Demon King is preparing for his transformation into a dragon, they have already begun to stir."

"Great Elder, should we report this to the Demon King?" the Sect Master of the Sea God Sect asked anxiously, "We are in the open, they are in the shadows. They know everything about our Sea God Sect, yet we know nothing about the Dragon Slaying Saber. This is not advantageous for us."

"The Demon King is currently fully occupied with preparing for his transformation and can’t spare concern for us," the Great Elder shook his head, "Moreover, if the Demon King successfully transforms into a dragon, what does the Dragon Slaying Saber amount to? Therefore, the most crucial concern right now can only be the Demon King’s transformation."

"The Dragon Slaying Saber may very well be trying to provoke us into action. We will meet constancy with change, give the command for the sect to be on high alert during this period, and everything will be fine once we get through this," the Great Elder said coldly, his gaze stern, "If we are not anxious, then the anxious ones should be those bearing the Dragon Slaying Saber."
