17: Peerless Beauty

"Big Brother, can you stop talking mid-sentence?"

Crack.

Someone impatiently slapped the Cultivator's head.

So noisy, just speak clearly.

Rubbing his head, the Cultivator revealed a mysterious smile and said, "You know, that Howling Moon Wolf King's one ear."

"Is it possible that it was cut off by a single sword strike from this mysterious green-robed Cultivator?"

"Hiss."

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped.

Just now, they were completely stunned by the green-robed youth's casual strike, which heavily injured Elder Zhijian Sword Without Trace of the Qinghe Sect.

Their minds had frozen.

Now, as they carefully recalled and pondered.

"I knew it! At that time, Elder Jian was sent flying by the Howling Moon Wolf King and was completely at a disadvantage. How could he possibly cut off the Wolf King's ear with one sword strike?!"

"At that time, I already had my doubts."

"Right, right, I thought so too!"

"Moreover, did you notice that this powerful green-robed Sword Cultivator injured but did not kill, and his control over Sword Qi has reached a truly consummate level."

The more they thought about it, the more shocked they became, as if the true story behind the Wolf King's battle had been revealed.

In the distance, Li Luo, who was currently imprinting the Nine Leaf Sword Grass Treasure Technique, had sharp ears and eyes, and naturally heard the voices from over there.

The corners of his three mouths twitched slightly in unison.

What the hell is 'consummate'!

The Treasure Art Legacy was complete.

Li Luo felt a sword-shaped grass rune imprinted on his bones.

Sharp, resilient, capable of cutting through all obstacles!

Putting away his Divine Ability, Li Luo flicked his sleeve and stepped forward.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing Li Luo approach, the Cultivators on the scene let out gasps of surprise.

Who exactly was this young man, to possess such formidable strength?!

Because the clearer they saw Li Luo's handsome face, the more shocked they became.

He was too young.

Compared to Li Luo, they felt as if their years of Cultivation had been wasted.

It was truly infuriating.

"So handsome!"

"I like him so much, I'm in love, I'm in love."

Among these Cultivators, there were naturally some female Cultivators. Seeing Li Luo's demeanor, their beautiful eyes were filled with little stars, passionate and uninhibited.

Li Luo was also very excited.

He also wanted to hold the hands of these female Cultivators and discuss the philosophy of life.

However, with the surrounding gazes full of reverence, he naturally couldn't appear too unseemly.

"Was it you who wanted to kill this Senior?"

Li Luo's gaze was like a sword, fixed on the disheveled Sword Without Trace.

In the past, Sword Without Trace had been high and mighty, full of vigor.

When had he ever been so wronged and disheveled?

However, he saw a hint of coldness in Li Luo's eyes.

Although there wasn't that intimidating, chilling light, this mere hint of coldness was enough to make him break out in a cold sweat.

The deterrent force was too strong.

Especially with the integration of the sword-shaped grass Treasure Art, he felt that even the slight coldness in Li Luo's eyes made him feel somewhat dazzling.

"Senior..."

"I'm fifteen years old."

Sword Without Trace: "......"

The surrounding people gasped even more sharply.

Holy cow.

Fifteen years old, a Grandmaster level expert?

When did their Qinghe Region Sects produce such a Prodigy?

No, this child definitely wasn't a Genius from a Sect in their Qinghe Region.

In fact, it was highly possible that he was a top Genius from some major Sect or powerful force in the Eastern Barren Lands!

"In the Cultivation World, the strong are respected. Calling you Senior is not excessive."

Sword Without Trace said with a forced smile.

"Senior, just now, I was blinded by greed and temporarily lost my mind. I hope Senior will be lenient and spare me this once."

Sword Without Trace seemed very sincere.

However, Li Luo curled his lips.

Sincere?

Is silver more fragrant?

Empty words. Just now, he was given quite a fright, how could he let it go so easily?

"Hmm?"

Li Luo's expression turned completely cold.

At this moment, Sword Without Trace felt as if a cold sword was hanging over his neck. It seemed that with just a thought from the other party, his life could be taken.

"As a token of my sincerity to apologize to Senior, I am willing to offer a bottle of Grade 2 Spirit Pill for Cultivation, a Grade 3 Spirit Gathering Pill, and a thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Spirit Stones?

Upon hearing this, Li Luo's eyes lit up completely.

He had heard that Spirit Stones were Ore that gathered the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, making them incredibly precious.

They were also the hard currency of the Cultivation World.

Not only could they be used for Cultivation, but they could also be used to purchase various treasures. Their value was tens of thousands of times that of silver.

A thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, didn't that mean he possessed ten million taels of silver!

Li Luo, who had long struggled on the poverty line, suddenly felt a mountain of gold and silver placed before him.

And all of this was the change brought about by becoming stronger.

This made Li Luo even more determined to become stronger. Working hard... and taking Disciples was the correct approach.

Seeing Li Luo somewhat dazed, Sword Without Trace thought this peerless green-robed Sword Cultivator was still dissatisfied and immediately looked like he was about to cry.

"Senior, this is almost my entire fortune."

Sword Without Trace felt immense heartache, as if he had lost a kidney.

At this moment, Li Luo finally reacted.

He had been truly stunned just now.

That's why he seemed a bit out of sorts.

"Is this alright? After all, I didn't suffer any injuries."

Li Luo showed a slight hesitation and refusal, which was definitely a bad habit from before his Transmigration. Even if he yearned for it greatly, the two of them still had to decline back and forth.

"Hmm?"

Sword Without Trace was a bit confused, but being an old fox, he immediately saw through the fervent desire in Li Luo's eyes.

He said righteously, "I disturbed Senior's Legacy of Treasure Art, which almost cut off Senior's Opportunity. If Senior doesn't accept this small compensation, I truly won't know where to put myself."

Ptooey.

Some people around rolled their eyes.

This old Sword Without Trace's ability to lie with his eyes open truly surpassed the Dao of the sword.

Sword Without Trace was also incredibly pained.

Li Luo's lips curved into an arc as he took the storage ring from Sword Without Trace's finger.

"Alright, our grievances are now settled."

The young man said with a faint smile.

This scene made the eyes of many people around him fill with wild adoration.

Peerless grace.

Just a few words made the dignified Elder Zhijian of the Qinghe Sect, a Bronze Grade Upper Sect, walk on thin ice.

Niu Er recalled saying earlier that Sword Without Trace was Li Luo's lifelong goal, and immediately felt incredibly ashamed.

"Niu Er."

Just as Niu Er was feeling ashamed, he heard Li Luo's voice, which startled him.

"Senior... I... I didn't mean to offend..."

Niu Er was so scared that cold sweat broke out all over him.

For Li Luo to kill him would probably be no more difficult than crushing an ant.

"You, you're very good. Cultivate well."

Saying that, Li Luo patted Niu Er's shoulder, and an invisible Sword Qi entered Niu Er's body.

Consider it an Opportunity he gave to Niu Er; whether he could grasp it or not was entirely up to him.

"Yue'er, let's go."

Then, Li Luo looked at Ji Yue'er, who was overflowing with Immortal energy, and smiled.

"Okay, Revered Master."

Bouncing and skipping, Ji Yue'er came before Li Luo and took his hand.

"Whoosh."

Earth Shrinking.

Li Luo took a step, and everyone only felt a blur before their eyes. It seemed as if this green-robed Sword Cultivator wasn't fast, but in just a few breaths, he disappeared from their sight.

"Niu Er, you are truly good. This old man has decided to take you as a Personal Disciple."

Just then, an Elder from the Dao-Sword Sect's inner Sect, a Grandmaster level expert of the First Stage, said.

"This... Disciple greets Revered Master!"

Niu Er was overjoyed. At the same time, the peerless, graceful green-robed figure in his mind lingered for a long time.
