Until the evening, Chu Liang reluctantly bid farewell to the black furball.

He always felt that the giant ghost tree in the forest was eerie and strange, especially at night, it would make him feel uneasy.

The sunlight was scarce in the forest, and when he returned to Shu Mountain, it was already dusk.

He couldn’t wait to refine all the seeds and then came to the small flower field to sow them. He had killed many black furballs today, enough to expand the small flower field to the same scale as yesterday.

While digging and sowing here, Chu Liang calculated the pricing for the golden patterned berries.

In theory, the cost of his golden patterned berries was only… his own labor, three sword coins for a month’s supply of spiritual plants, and Liu Xiaoyu’s fish labor…

Recently, it had been raining heavily, and Liu Xiaoyu’s watering work could be completely canceled, but she still needed to eat. Strictly speaking, her consumption should be considered as natural loss.

Even though the cost was low, the pricing couldn’t be too low, otherwise, the brand image he had established would be lost. It would also affect any future business operations.

As long as the production and sales process of the berries went smoothly, he believed that it wouldn’t take long for his small flower field to become a large orchard.

While he was working, he heard someone calling from the other side, “Senior Brother Chu!”

“Huh?” Chu Liang turned around and found that it was Wen Yulong. “Junior Brother Wen?”

Wen Yulong walked over quickly and said, “The negotiation for the Lianxi Silk material that I helped you with last time has yielded results. The seller from Glutton City has agreed to lower the price. Now you can get it for about 650 sword coins.”

“That’s great.” Chu Liang readily agreed.

This price was already similar to the price Wen Yulong initially estimated, so there was no need to fuss over it.

After chatting with Wen Yulong last time, he also inquired about the price of Lianxi Silk in other places, and it was similar to what Wen Yulong reported. It showed that Wen Yulong hadn’t been scheming and had genuinely helped him.

As long as the price was not significantly different, Chu Liang didn’t care if Wen Yulong took a small kickback. There was no need to be too clear about such things when asking for help.

“Alright.” Wen Yulong nodded. “I will send the message back and let the seller start shipping the materials. The cost of shipping from Glutton City is relatively high, but it’s the most reliable. It’s better not to save this money.”

“That’s not a problem.” Chu Liang said.

Glutton City was far away, and it would be troublesome for him to go there himself. With his pockets full of sword coins and the upcoming establishment of an industrial chain, he was quite generous now.

Wen Yulong also asked about the Flying Leaf Quick Blade, which made Chu Liang smile bitterly. Just as he was about to complain, a shout suddenly came from the main hall of the peak.

“Disciple!”

Di Nvfeng’s shout was domineering, as if she was about to pick a fight with him in the next second.

“My Master is calling me.” Chu Liang turned around abruptly.

It was rare for Di Nvfeng to actively seek him out, so he wondered what important matter she had.

“I don’t have anything else to do, so I won’t disturb Senior Brother Chu.” Wen Yulong quickly took his leave. He had heard about the notorious reputation of Shu Mountain since he was young, and this shout made him shudder.

…

Chu Liang immediately rushed to the main hall of the peak.

He saw Di Nvfeng holding a sword box carefully and placing it on the table with a joyful expression. “Take a look, what good thing is this?”

“What?” Chu Liang looked cautious.

He didn’t believe that his Master would give him anything good.

But Di Nvfeng quickly slapped him.

As the sword box was opened, Chu Liang’s pupils contracted sharply.

Inside it lay a silver-white ancient sword over four feet long, with cloud patterns all over its body. The radiance on the sword was restrained, with countless Dao rhymes circulating.

Xiao Yun Ancient Sword!

Chu Liang recognized it at a glance.

This was ranked thirty-first in the Human World’s Ten Thousand Treasures Record, and it was also the sword of the Peak Master of Shu Mountain, Yan Daoren. It was called the Xiao Yun Ancient Sword!

Legend had it that in ancient times, a great swordsmith discovered the Dao rhymes in the clouds and repeatedly tried to incorporate them into a sword but failed. In the end, he came up with a method, riding on a giant beast to the clouds in the sky to forge the sword. At that time, the wind and thunder were raging, and the heavenly fire was scorching. After experiencing countless hardships, the sword was finally completed, and it was named “Xiao Yun.”

Shu Mountain relied on the wealth of their ancestors, so even though they had lost the supreme divine weapon, they still had a considerable number of treasures among the top hundred in the Ten Thousand Treasures Record.

“Didn’t you say that you didn’t have a suitable weapon for the Shu Mountain Summit?” Di Nvfeng smiled. “I’ve been thinking about it for a long time and thought I should help you. So, I borrowed Yan Zi’s Xiao Yun Ancient Sword. Besides the Purple and Green Twin Swords, it is the highest-ranked sword on Shu Mountain.”

Chu Liang was astonished. “Master wants me to use the Xiao Yun Ancient Sword at the Shu Mountain Summit? This…”

He didn’t know whether to feel moved or find it absurd.

“You’re thinking too much.” Di Nvfeng gave him a glare. “Someone like Yan Zi, who finds the ground dirty even when walking on it, how could she let others use her sword…”

“Besides, with your cultivation level, using this sword would probably drain your cultivation in one move, and you wouldn’t be able to control it at all.”

“Ah…” Chu Liang breathed a sigh of relief at her words.

If Di Nvfeng really wanted him to use the Xiao Yun Ancient Sword, he would definitely refuse.

Not every treasure had such a good temperament that anyone could use it.

Like the Zhan Hongming Sword, it allowed those with insufficient cultivation to use it and even replenished their strength. It was simply an ideal treasure in the human world.

As for the Purple and Green Twin Swords of Shu Mountain, they didn’t like high-level experts and only favored young disciples as their sword masters. They were even rarer.

Most of the treasures ranked at the top of the Ten Thousand Treasures Record had requirements for cultivation. If used by low-level cultivators, they couldn’t even control them, and those with a more fierce temperament might even suffer backlash.Especially those top ten divine artifacts, if someone with insufficient cultivation tries to drive them, they would be instantly killed by the backlash.

This ancient sword of the clouds was no exception.

As for treasures, those with virtue possess them, those with ability use them, there can never be a mistake.

“I want to take you to Glutton City to find a swordsmith and create a replica of the ancient sword of the clouds. With its power, even a replica won’t be too bad, and then you’ll have a flying sword.” Di Nvfeng revealed her idea.

“Wonderful.” Chu Liang praised.

He had previously encountered Song Qingyi from the Gentleman’s Hall, and the weapon she used, the Heart Inch, was a replica of the River Jade Ruler, and its power was equally outstanding.

Replicas of magical instruments are not uncommon in the cultivation world. It’s not just about the power of the original, but also largely depends on who the swordsmith is, the materials and techniques are all very important.

If the top magical instruments in the top hundred of the Treasure Record are made into high-quality replicas, they might have the power within the top five hundred of the Treasure Record. However, replicas cannot be listed on the Treasure Record, which is why many high-quality replicas of magical instruments remain nameless.

So Chu Liang asked, “Master, which swordsmith are you planning to find in Glutton City?”

Di Nvfeng replied, “Master Kunwu!”

“Ah?” Chu Liang was surprised, “Find him?”
