Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

"An unusual origin?" Zhen's eyebrows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.

"Yes," Luo Yao nodded, then he whispered, "I suspect this ancient sword was crafted by quite a famous Artifact Refining Master from Ancient Times."

"Ancient Times? Artifact Refining Master?" Zhen was taken aback.

After all, these two terms carried a very significant meaning.

Indeed, Ancient Times were at least tens of thousands of years ago, perhaps even longer.

And those who could be called Artifact Refining Masters of the Ancient Times were the pinnacle beings of that era.

Therefore, when Luo Yao mentioned that the ancient sword was crafted by an Artifact Refining Master from Ancient Times, Zhen couldn't help but be surprised.

After all, if this ancient sword really was crafted by that Artifact Refining Master from Ancient Times, then its origin was indeed not simple.

"Moreover, I suspect this ancient sword might be a relic left from the Ancient Era," Luo Yao said lightly.

"An item from the Ancient Era?" Zhen was taken aback once again.

Regarding these so-called relics from the Ancient Era, Zhen knew very little.

After all, to be called a relic from the Ancient Era, it needed to have a history of at least tens of thousands of years.

Thus, when Luo Yao suggested that the ancient sword might be an ancient artifact, Zhen was quite astonished.

If this ancient sword was indeed an ancient artifact, then this matter was even more extraordinary.

"Does the Young Master have any proof?" Zhen looked at Luo Yao, slowly asking.

Although Luo Yao had shared so much about this, Zhen always felt that the matter was not so simple.

To determine whether an item was an ancient artifact, solid proof was required.

"There is some evidence," Luo Yao responded with a smile, then he continued lightly, "I have seen this pattern before in an ancient tome, a unique artifact refining technique exclusive to a famous Artifact Refining Master from Ancient Times."

"That's why I said so."

"However, to determine exactly what this ancient sword is and what its capabilities are, we probably need to wait until we return to Qingshi City and find a more skilled Artifact Refiner to understand."

Upon hearing these words, Zhen fell into silence.

Luo Yao, the Young Family Head of the Luo Family from Qingshi City, gestured after pondering for a moment to Zhen—who was one of the Three Great Commanders of the Shadow Guard.

Returning to Qingshi City was naturally still on the agenda.

However, it clearly wasn't going to be today, not now.

Tomorrow, the competition of the Qingyun List in Weiqing City would continue.

The final battle of the Qingyun List was expected tomorrow.

Therefore, as the heir and successor of the Qingshi City Luo Family, Luo Yao thought it best to wait until the Qingyun List event was concluded before heading back to Qingshi City.

...

Time passed, and another day went by.

Weiqing City, inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Beneath a vast square.

At this time, Luo Yao, the Young Master of the Luo Family, and his younger brother Luo Ze were already quietly waiting under the square.

The current City Lord of Weiqing City, Wei Wujie, who had organized the Qingyun List competition, was already standing on the competition platform above.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the final battle of the Qingyun List is about to begin!"

Wei Wujie's robust voice echoed over the square.

"This battle of the Qingyun List represents a ranking of the greatest strengths among the younger generation within Weiqing City!"

"And the young cultivators ranked in the top ten of the Qingyun List will not only gain the favor of many martial halls but also receive some quite valuable rewards."

"So, please give your best efforts and vie for those rankings on the Qingyun List!"

At this moment, Wei Wujie, standing on the high platform, looked down at the countless young cultivators below and spoke loudly.

And with the sound of Wei Wujie's voice, what had been a quiet venue burst into activity at that moment.

After all, this Qingyun List battle was of great importance to these young cultivators.

Therefore, every young cultivator who managed to enter the battle of the Qingshi Ranking was an exceptional individual from the younger generation within Weiqing City.

Given this, one could imagine the intensity of the battle of the Qingshi Ranking.

...

At this moment, Luo Yao, the Young Master of the Luo Family, stood among the crowd, his eyes sharp and spirited as he stared at Wei Wujie on the high platform.

Luo Ze, the younger brother and also a Young Master of the Luo Family, stood beside Luo Yao.

Although this younger brother Luo Ze looked quite young, the strength he possessed was not to be underestimated.

Furthermore, with the various methods and secret techniques he possessed, his strength was naturally quite remarkable.

Therefore, even snatching the first place of the Qingshi Ranking shouldn't be an impossible task for that guy, Luo Ze.

...

After a round of encouragement and inspiration from Wei Wujie, the final battle of the Qingshi Ranking finally officially began.

With the first group of participants taking the stage, the battle of the Qingshi Ranking officially started.

On the platform.

"Hehe, Brother Lin, it seems you're going to fall in this battle of the Qingshi Ranking."

At this moment, a somewhat sinister-looking man lightly addressed his opponent in front.

This man, named Lin Xiu, was a direct disciple of the Lin Family from Weiqing City.

Although the strength Lin Xiu possessed wasn't considered very strong, he had a fairly significant background.

After all, his Lin Family was one of the foremost powers within Weiqing City.

So, when Lin Xiu stood in front of his seemingly ordinary opponent, he couldn't help but feel somewhat relaxed.

After all, he was a direct disciple of the Lin Family!

He had quite the reputation within Weiqing City and naturally feared no one.

However, Lin Xiu soon realized something was amiss.

The look in the eyes of the man standing in front of him was extremely unfriendly, as if he wanted to devour him!

"Oh? Is that so? I don't think so," the man said calmly.

He then slowly drew his longsword from his waist.

He continued lightly, "Well then, let me show you, Brother Lin, what true strength is!"

The moment the man finished speaking, his longsword transformed into a streak of light, aiming straight for Lin Xiu's throat.

Lin Xiu, seeing this sudden attack, was momentarily stunned.

In that moment of shock, he also began to panic.

As the longsword drew closer, Lin Xiu's face, filled with fear, contorted viciously.

With the appearance of his fierce expression, his own longsword instantly emitted a formidable sword light.

"Hmph, a trivial skill."

The man watched Lin Xiu's strike, and he couldn't help but sneer disdainfully.

His longsword trembled slightly, and the sword light that had burst forth was instantly shattered by his strike.

With the shattering of this strike, Lin Xiu's figure was thrown backward in an instant.

...

Below the platform.

"Lin Xiu's strength has only just reached the Intermediate Stage of Bone Refinement, and although his longsword is of good quality, it still falls short compared to this man's strength!"

"It seems this man will make it into the top ten of this battle of the Qingshi Ranking."

"However, this man seems to be underestimating Lin Xiu too much, to be so complacent!"

...

At this moment, the man stood on the platform, looking at Lin Xiu who lay unconscious beside him, and he couldn't help but frown in puzzlement.

He really couldn't understand why this guy in front of him was so easily defeated.

After all, even if his strength was poor, he shouldn't have fallen so quickly, right?
