27: Chapter 27 Sword Name Thunderclap
Time flashed by in a blink.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
In Lin Shen's courtyard,
terrifying lightning bloomed, and Lin Shen's figure continuously shuttled through this terrifying lightning. The longsword in his hand released Sword Qi, and every single sword strike burst forth with extremely terrifying might.
"Not bad. After ten days, I have successfully refined this Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact jinglei flying sword."
Stroking the pitch-purple jinglei flying sword in his hand, Lin Shen could not help but nod with satisfaction.
This jinglei flying sword was a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact.
With the Spirit Stones and financial resources in Lin Shen's hands, he definitely wouldn't have been able to purchase it.
This jinglei flying sword was precisely bestowed upon him by Mo Shenggu ten days ago when Mo Shenggu took him as a Personal Disciple.
At that time, he was unaware of it, simply thinking that the Storage Pouch contained many Cultivation resources or a certain amount of Spirit Stones.
Never did he expect that apart from Cultivation resources and Spirit Stones, there would also be a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact jinglei flying sword.
This was somewhat beyond Lin Shen's expectations, and a trace of gratitude toward Mo Shenggu inevitably arose in his heart.
This Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact jinglei flying sword presented an overall pitch-purple color, with bizarre patterns carved along the blade. The name of the sword was—Jinglei.
Whenever he drove his Spiritual Qi to use this jinglei flying sword, the bizarre patterns carved upon it would massively increase the might burst forth by his lightning-attribute Spiritual Qi.
Coupled with the inherent might of the Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact jinglei flying sword, with both sides mutually reinforcing each other, when Lin Shen unleashed Thundering Sword Qi, its might had increased by at least fifty percent compared to before.
"With this jinglei flying sword, coupled with the Thundering Sword Qi I have comprehended myself, now as long as Foundation Establishment does not make a move, among the Qi Refining Realm and the like, basically very few people will be my opponent..."
Sensing his current strength, Lin Shen could not help the corners of his mouth hook up slightly.
The jinglei flying sword in his hand rotated, and as he returned the sword to its sheath, a faint sound of thunder instantly rang out in the air.
"Now, calculating the time, ten days have already passed. It is time to head to Revered Master's dwelling place and attend Mo Xiaoyu's Foundation Establishment Ceremony!"
Glancing at the sky that was just turning pale, Lin Shen muttered to himself, put the jinglei flying sword into his Storage Pouch, and his figure rapidly headed toward Mo Shenggu's dwelling place.
...
Noon time.
Luoyun Peak.
This Luoyun Peak was precisely the name of the mountain where Mo Shenggu resided.
As time drew closer to noon, under Senior Brother Shen Qianfan's arrangement, the entire Luoyun Peak instantly became filled with a festive atmosphere.
Everywhere within Luoyun Peak was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers.
Inside the grand hall of Luoyun Peak, a one-zhang-long red silk was hung, upon which the four gilded characters "Foundation Establishment Ceremony" were written in a flourishing, dragon-flying-and-phoenix-dancing manner.
Along the sides, dozens of tables and desks were set out, dazzling with fine fruits and exquisite brews.
At this moment, the grand hall was already crowded with guests.
Basically, apart from a few Qi Refining Realm individuals with deep identities and backgrounds, the lowest cultivation of these guests was at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Furthermore, sitting in the most conspicuous positions of the grand hall were a few extraordinary Golden Core Realm powerhouses radiating terrifying pressure from their bodies.
Amidst the crowd's congratulatory voices, Mo Xiaoyu was full of smiles, exchanging cups with those guests and getting along extremely harmoniously.
Lin Shen silently followed behind Mo Shenggu, watching this scene, and could not help nodding inwardly.
This Mo Xiaoyu was indeed a person with an exquisite mind; she truly deserved to be considered an immortal second-generation. Compared to other people without backgrounds, she appeared even more comfortable and at ease in such a grand scene.
In the mortal Jianghu.
Lin Shen had seen many rich second-generations. Aside from a few individuals, most of them relied on their Family's power to be rather arrogant and despotic.
However, upon arriving in the immortal Cultivation world,
everything became somewhat different.
He had also seen quite a few Cultivators with deep backgrounds in Chiyun Valley. On the surface, every single one of these people was amiable to others, and their scheming was quite profound. They were fundamentally not at all like those arrogant and despotic people in the mortal world.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
In the mortal world, many people without true ability had lives where they could see the end at a glance from birth, so naturally they had to make merry while they could.
Whereas in the Immortal Realm, as long as one had Aptitude and resources, future achievements would be limitless. Having received high-level guidance and education since childhood, their Heart-Nature naturally could not let joy and anger show on the exterior.
The Foundation Establishment Ceremony proceeded as scheduled.
Amidst the exchanging of cups and the lively atmosphere, the congratulatory gifts received by Mo Xiaoyu had already piled up into a small mountain off to the side.
This could not but make Lin Shen extremely envious.
Just as the atmosphere of the Foundation Establishment Ceremony reached its peak, Mo Shenggu led Lin Shen to the center of the grand hall.
With a smile hanging on the corners of his mouth, he looked at the many Elders and said, "Everyone, today, besides my granddaughter Mo Xiaoyu successfully making a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, I also have a major event to announce!"
Saying this, Mo Shenggu turned slightly sideways, his gaze falling onto Lin Shen: "This child is named Lin Shen. As early as four years ago, he already had a connection of incense and fire with this old man. Through these four years of assessment, this child's Heart-Nature is top-notch. Today, this old man hereby officially accepts Lin Shen as a Disciple, becoming the third Personal Disciple under my sect!"
"Disciple pays respects to Revered Master!"
Accompanied by Mo Shenggu's voice falling, Lin Shen hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully knelt before Mo Shenggu.
Mo Shenggu nodded with a smile, took a jade plaque out from his sleeve, and handed it directly to Lin Shen.
This jade plaque was pitch black throughout, with the character "Mo" carved on the front, while the back bore the emblems of Chiyun Valley and the Law Enforcement Hall.
Handing this jade plaque to Lin Shen, Mo Shenggu patted Lin Shen's shoulder and said, "This is the status token of my Personal Disciple. Keep it safe. With such a token, many important places within Chiyun Valley will also be open to you. At the same time, you can also dispatch a portion of personnel below the Foundation Establishment Realm within the Law Enforcement Hall."
Looking at this jade plaque, a trace of excitement flashed through Lin Shen's eyes.
He hurriedly nodded, received the token with both hands, and raised it high above his head.
"Disciple Lin Shen kowtows to thank Revered Master!"
Saying this, Lin Shen kowtowed deeply.
He knew that after today, he would completely have a foothold within Chiyun Valley.
What surprised him even more was that he hadn't expected a Personal Disciple of Mo Shenggu to also possess the privilege of being able to dispatch a portion of Cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Realm from the Law Enforcement Hall.
In this way, among those people in Chiyun Valley whose backgrounds were not entirely clean to begin with, which one of them wouldn't be respectful and deferential upon seeing him?
If they were to offend him...
"Heh..."
The name is righteous, and the words are proper.
By directly using the privileges brought by this status token, he could dispatch the personnel of the Law Enforcement Hall to arrest them.
Anyway, their backgrounds weren't too clean.
Such matters would be known with a single investigation.
Of course, such behavior could only target those people in Chiyun Valley who had no status or background.
If it were against those people with relatively deep status and backgrounds, even if Lin Shen were given a thousand courages, he would not dare to rashly use these privileges.
At the moment when Lin Shen received the token and kowtowed,
a wave of whispered discussions instantly sounded within the grand hall.
They hadn't expected that Mo Shenggu would suddenly take on a Personal Disciple at this time.
This child was indeed quite fortunate.
Those few Golden Core Realm individuals exchanged glances with each other, and a trace of playful expression flashed through their eyes.
Naturally, they still had an impression of Lin Shen.
Back at the Immortal Ascension Assembly four years ago, Lin Shen had used the foundation establishment pill obtained from the immortal ascension token to exchange with Mo Shenggu.
Unexpectedly, four years had passed and the two were still in contact.
And what they never expected even more was that four years later, this Lin Shen was actually taken in by Mo Shenggu as a Personal Disciple, and it was announced publicly and high-profile.
From this perspective, that little doll who was still at Qi Refining Stage 9 Cultivation was not simple at all.
