Seventh Grade Long Sword

"Good. I believe their speed of cultivation will surely increase significantly now." Qin Ming's face was filled with a smile.

"Oh, that's right. I obtained a seventh-grade long sword in the Secret Realm. I originally intended to give it to you when you advanced to the Martial Emperor Realm, but I forgot. Here, take it now." As he spoke, Qin Ming took out a long sword from his space ring.

This long sword was something he had previously obtained in the Secret Realm by trading a perfect elixir with the Third Young Master of the You Family from Yan City. Because it was a seventh-grade sword, Jue Wuya had been unable to use it before, so he hadn't given it to him until now.

Jue Wuya joyfully accepted the long sword and slowly drew it from its scabbard.

"Cling…" The blade rubbed against the scabbard, emitting a crisp sound. The blade was pure white like snow, possessing both softness and strength.

"What a good sword!" Jue Wuya's expression was infatuated as he examined it closely. "Truly a good sword. It has been gathering dust."

"I'm glad you like it," Qin Ming smiled and said.

"Qin Ming, you don't even have a Weapon yourself, yet you gave it to me…" Jue Wuya sheathed the long sword, looked at Qin Ming, and said embarrassedly.

Qin Ming said helplessly, "I also want to find a Weapon, but good gauntlets are truly hard to come by. Ordinary gauntlets are not as tough as my own hands, and wearing them is just a hindrance. Besides, I am now in the Martial Venerable Realm, making a suitable Weapon even harder to find."

He had actually always wanted a good pair of gauntlets so that when facing enemies, he could catch Weapons with his bare hands. Unfortunately, gauntlet-style Weapons were rare to begin with, and good ones were even rarer.

"Where did you just go?" Jue Wuya asked again with a puzzled look.

"We went to the Pill Alliance. As you know, Elder Qing was injured by his Disciple, Jue Xin, and never had a chance to take revenge. Now, Jue Xin has even gifted the Divine Artifact, the Medicine Cauldron, to the Pill Alliance. We just went to the Pill Alliance to demand an explanation."

"What was the result?" Jue Wuya pressed.

Qin Ming shook his head and recounted the entire process to Jue Wuya in detail.

"The Pill Alliance is absolutely despicable!" Jue Wuya cursed. The Divine Artifact Medicine Cauldron was a supreme treasure; the Pill Alliance was clearly trying to brush the matter off.

Everyone knew that the Pill Alliance had the most Alchemists. Thinking of competing with them in Alchemy—anyone with eyes could see they were just bullying people!

"It doesn't matter. This way, not only can I obtain one hundred ninth-grade spirit plants, but it will also greatly boost the prestige of my Huayu Sect. Why not?" Qin Ming smiled with disdain. The Pill Alliance was plotting against him, but wasn't he also plotting against the Pill Alliance?

Even if the Huayu Sect continued to expand now, the speed would slow down. If he could use this competition to let all the Martial Artists in the world know about the Huayu Sect, the strength of the Huayu Sect would surge again.

Currently, besides the Martial Kings within its own Sect, the Huayu Sect had also recruited quite a few other Martial Kings. The reason these Martial Kings joined, apart from their familiarity with the Shadow, was largely due to Qin Ming's reputation as the number one Martial Emperor in the world.

However, the Huayu Sect was a newly risen Sect, and many Martial Artists did not recognize the Shadow, so they hadn't managed to recruit a single Martial Emperor.

The future development of the Huayu Sect could not do without high-end combat power; Martial Emperors were indispensable. Apart from cultivating them himself, Qin Ming hoped to be able to recruit some.

For the direct Disciples of the Huayu Sect, Qin Ming mostly hoped that they would focus on improving their cultivation. After all, they all possessed High Grade Spiritual Roots and all had the hope of advancing to the Martial Emperor Realm.

These Disciples were the guarantee Qin Ming was leaving for the Qin Family. One day, he would have to leave the Qin Family and head to the Yuan Continent.

Only with these Disciples present could he leave with peace of mind.

Jue Wuya also nodded with a smile, "Indeed. This time, the Pill Alliance is going to try to gain an advantage only to suffer a loss instead."

Thinking of the Pill Alliance losing one hundred ninth-grade spirit plants and the pained expressions they would have, Jue Wuya felt happy.
