Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 97: Longing

The Ten Great Swords of the World, with five made by the Sword Nourishing Hut?

Su Mo listened with a sense of novelty: "There are ten great famous swords in the world? Who ranked them?"

...

Wei Ziyi felt that Su Mo’s point of focus seemed a bit different from others.

Glancing at Yang Xiaoyun, she noticed that her expression somewhat resembled Su Mo’s, as if she was also quite curious.

Immediately, with a helpless sigh, she said: "It’s an old legend, at most, it has been recorded by some people. However, that record has long been destroyed, and the Jianghu section in the Lengyue Palace Scripture Pavilion also contains very few detailed records about these ten great swords. The only thing known is that there are such ten swords under the heavens."

Su Mo was a bit curious: "Five come from the Sword Nourishing Hut, what about the remaining five?"

"How would I know..."

Wei Ziyi was somewhat helpless: "Of the Ten Great Swords, I only know of one..."

At this point, looking up at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, and seeing both of them quite curious, she had to say: "That sword... is named Longing."

"Longing?"

Yang Xiaoyun was slightly surprised: "Seems a bit like the grievance of a lady?"

"Longing is a poison..."

Wei Ziyi spoke earnestly: "For the one I love, I am consumed with grief, with my belt gradually becoming loose without regret. Once this poison enters the body, it destroys the soul and bones, leaving nothing behind. Thus, Longing is a sword of absolute poison..."

"Absolute poison sword?"

Su Mo mulled over these words, feeling intrigued: "No one can solve it?"

"Not only can no one solve it, but it is also ominous."

Wei Ziyi took a sip of tea and then continued: "Who exactly forged the Longing sword, no one knows. It is only known that every time this sword appears, it triggers a series of killings. Countless people have died over seizing this sword.

"The old records are no longer detailed, but I only know that the most recent appearance of this sword landed in the hands of Dongcheng Tianfeng Hall."

"I’ve heard of this."

Yang Xiaoyun said: "Tianfeng Hall once dominated for a time, almost taking over Dongcheng. The Great Hall Master Feng Jiu Xiao, with his Divine Skill of Hidden Dragon Nine Transformations, had reached the pinnacle, dominating for thirty years with few rivals. However, no one knows why, the entire Tianfeng Hall disappeared from Jianghu overnight."

"Young Master Yang is indeed well-informed."

Wei Ziyi gave Yang Xiaoyun a look and slightly nodded: "It is recorded in Lengyue Palace that a total of 5,723 people of Tianfeng Hall were wiped out overnight. The Great Hall Master Feng Jiu Xiao was pierced through the throat by a sword, and nailed dead to the Tianfeng Hall signboard.

"That sword was the Longing!"

Upon hearing this, both Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun fell silent.

Su Mo tapped his fingers on the table and then gently shook his head: "However, this doesn’t necessarily explain anything. After all, Longing is just a sword; surely it can’t kill by itself?"

"No one knows."

Wei Ziyi said: "Moreover, after that incident, Longing disappeared again. Just as if it had never appeared. As for what exactly happened to Tianfeng Hall that night... no one in Jianghu can clearly say. That 5,723 people died overnight has become an unsolved mystery in Jianghu.

"Continuing to this day, the name Longing is listed among the top ten of the world, but no one has seen Longing again."

At this, Wei Ziyi put down the teacup, smiled and said: "The Ten Great Swords of the world are all such legends. Sword Nourishing Hut managed to make five, now you know the significance of the Sword Division Order, don’t you?"

"After she said that, Su Mo realized: "Are you saying... the sword borrower... is a blacksmith?"

"..."

Wei Ziyi pondered carefully and realized she had not said such a thing.

But on second thought, she felt that Su Mo understood correctly.

For a moment, she couldn’t help but marvel, "How does such a mystical matter, when spoken by you, become so ordinary? Even if the sword borrower truly is a blacksmith, he is no ordinary blacksmith... He comes from the Sword Nourishing Hut, where the craft is passed down in a single lineage, making him the top blacksmith in the world."

"Mmm, I understand, the twist is still on these four words ’he is a blacksmith’."

Su Mo looked at the Sword Division Order in his hand, his brow slightly furrowed: "But how could a blacksmith possess such martial arts? And why does he loathe swords so deeply?"

"The Sword Nourishing Hut is not ordinary, without some self-defense skills, anyone could abduct them and force them to forge swords.

"So the prerequisite for them to learn swordmaking is to first master unparalleled martial arts.

"As for his deep hatred, it might not necessarily be for swords..."

"Not being a top swordsman does not make one a good blacksmith, and surprisingly that makes sense."

Su Mo couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

"These matters are no longer related to us, mainly they are no longer related to me."

Wei Ziyi looked at the Sword Division Order in Su Mo’s hand and said, "This is given by him, saying he owes you a favor. If you ever get a chance to go to Beichuan, you can find him at the Sword Nourishing Hut on Mo Cang Mountain’s Dividing Sword Cliff; he said... he wants to personally forge a good sword for you."

"..."

Su Mo blinked.

Yang Xiaoyun inhaled sharply.

After all is said and done, this is actually the most important sentence.

The Sword Nourishing Hut which forged five of the Ten Great Swords of the World, is going to forge a sword for Su Mo!

Even if the craftsmanship of this sword borrower is not up to par, he won’t directly forge a sword inferior to one of the Ten Great Swords, but even if it’s slightly inferior, it’s still an incredibly rare weapon.

Su Mo, on his part, wasn’t overly excited yet, but Yang Xiaoyun was already impatient, tugging at Su Mo’s clothes.

Su Mo patted her hand, urging her to calm down: "He has come a long way, and I haven’t shown him much respect. Why would he forge a sword for me? Although it’s not necessary to take a sword and kill me, compared, that seems more convincing."

"Because, it seems like he has borrowed something from you."

Wei Ziyi shook her head: "As for what he has borrowed, I’m not sure. These eccentric people always have their odd habits, speaking in half-truths, always leaving us baffled. If you are curious, you can seek him out in Beichuan after leaving Donghuang... and see what exactly he borrowed."

"Alright."

Su Mo nodded, glanced at the Sword Division Order, and carefully stored it. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Wei Ziyi looked on with envy, then finally shook her head, stood up, and said:

"That’s all I have to say, mainly worried you didn’t know what this was for, and might carelessly throw it away later, which would truly be a pity, that’s why I clarified it for you. By the way, are you leaving Xuanji Valley tomorrow?"

"Mmm, Doctor Xu said Master Liu’s injuries are no longer severe, he should wake up tonight, we’ll say goodbye to him in the morning and then head straight back to Luoxia City."

"I’ll go with you, the gift I gave you earlier, having been without news for so long, should be ripe with a charming flavor soon, this trip back should bring some results."
