CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 38 THE TREASURE * HEAVEN CONCEALING SWORD

"Break for me!" Ye Feng whispered to himself, using the remaining energy to enhance the level of True Qi and fiercely charge at the Realm.

Crack!

With a burst of movement within his body, Ye Feng reached the perfection of the first level of Qi Cultivation.

’Whew!’ After successfully breaking through, Ye Feng let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it went very smoothly, or else it would have been troublesome.

At the same time, Ye Feng also used the residual energy to stabilize his Realm.

"Little brother, what happened to you? You almost scared me to death." Seeing Ye Feng come to his senses, Xu Tong asked worriedly.

"It’s nothing, just got too engrossed." Ye Feng awkwardly smiled and returned the treasure in his hand to Xu Tong.

"Actually, these are nothing; my most prized possession is a Divine Sword." After reclaiming his treasure, Xu Tong proudly brought over a Treasure Sword.

"It’s something good from ancient times. Take a look." At the same time, Xu Tong handed the Treasure Sword to Ye Feng.

"What is this?" Upon receiving the Treasure Sword, Ye Feng was immediately shocked.

This is indeed an antique, but it’s not just any antique—it’s a genuine magical artifact.

In the Cultivation Realm, magical artifacts exist, and they are typically classified by grade, from First Grade to Ninth Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Within each grade, there are Junior, Intermediate, Advanced, and Supreme levels.

The Spiritual Artifact in front of him is an Advanced First Grade Spiritual Artifact, named Heaven Concealing Sword. It was the sword of a general from ancient times.

This Heaven Concealing Sword can slice through hair and cut iron effortlessly. It remains extremely sharp.

Even though it hasn’t been used for thousands of years, it still maintains its original sharpness, which is truly extraordinary.

Moreover, sharpness is just the basic feature.

In the hands of a cultivator, this piece becomes a winning magical artifact.

The most Supreme magical artifacts can even unleash earth-shattering power.

Therefore, having such a thing in the hands of ordinary people is really a waste.

For example, in Xu Tong’s hands, it’s just a relic, used for collection purposes.

"Where did this come from?" Ye Feng asked excitedly, with a hint of shock.

Elder Xu’s other treasures that can emit golden light perhaps made Ye Feng excited, wanting to absorb the golden light.

But compared with this Heaven Concealing Sword, they are nothing.

This Heaven Concealing Sword is the real treasure.

"It looks sharp. I got it from a farmer, spent over ten grand on it. What’s up? Is there something wrong with this thing?" Seeing Ye Feng’s excited expression, Elder Xu replied, somewhat baffled.

"No problem, this is a real treasure." Ye Feng shook his head and truthfully replied, "This thing is priceless, but if others find out you have this, you’ll be very dangerous."

"Why?" Elder Xu was even more puzzled.

He couldn’t understand it. Although this thing is valuable, it’s not to that extent, right? There are many valuable things, not just this one.

As far as he was concerned, with his son’s capabilities, ordinary people certainly wouldn’t dare touch him, so he felt Ye Feng was making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Have you heard of cultivators?" Seeing Elder Xu’s disbelief, Ye Feng asked tentatively.

"Cultivators? You know about cultivators?" Elder Xu’s complexion changed drastically following Ye Feng’s words.

"You’ve heard of them?" Seeing Elder Xu’s expression, Ye Feng knew that Elder Xu definitely knew.

"Yes!" Elder Xu nodded, answering with a wary expression, "It’s said that within the cities, there hides a group of Divine Beings with supernatural abilities, and they are known as cultivators."

"Powerful cultivators can even move mountains and seas, invincible, so much so that even a country dares not provoke them lightly."

"Although this isn’t a real secret, ordinary people can’t get hold of such information at all. How do you know?"

Elder Xu was more curious about how Ye Feng knew about cultivators.

"Actually, I’m a cultivator." Ye Feng sighed helplessly and truthfully replied.

At the same time, to prove himself, a flame suddenly appeared in Ye Feng’s hand.

"Fire! Creating fire out of thin air is truly the means of a Divine Being. Are you really a cultivator?" Witnessing this, Elder Xu was utterly astonished.

He never expected that Ye Feng would turn out to be a legendary cultivator, truly possessing supernatural abilities.

After Elder Xu believed, Ye Feng continued explaining, "And the Treasure Sword in your hand is definitely a treasure that any cultivator will strive to seize."

"Indeed, even if ordinary people see it and have malicious intents, seeing your son’s prowess, they wouldn’t dare make a move."

"But cultivators aren’t ordinary people. They might risk their lives to snatch such a treasure. Wouldn’t you say you’re in danger?"

Following Ye Feng’s explanation, Elder Xu felt a chill down his spine.

This consequence is far more severe than he imagined.

If a cultivator really targets him, even if his son is a Jiangchu big shot, he wouldn’t be able to protect him.

Because these cultivators are truly terrifying and dangerous.

Feeling alarmed, Elder Xu quickly asked, "Then what should I do?"

Ye Feng thought for a moment and truthfully replied, "The best way is to sell it at an auction."

Indeed, such a treasure, if promoted by an auction, would surely attract countless cultivators to bid, ensuring a hefty profit.

Of course, this is the result Ye Feng least desires.

So, after hesitating for a moment, Ye Feng continued, "Alternatively, if you trust me, you can give the Treasure Sword to me, and I promise to owe you three favors."

"Whether it’s curing illness, killing people, or protecting someone, I will lend you my aid three times."

Trading three favors for such a valuable item, Ye Feng considers it a gain.

The only uncertainty is whether Elder Xu would agree.

"If you want it, I’ll give it to you for free. You saved my life, what’s a mere Treasure Sword?" Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Elder Xu didn’t hesitate and handed the Treasure Sword directly to Ye Feng.

"I owe you three favors. Feel free to ask when you need them." Holding the Treasure Sword, Ye Feng remarked, "For curing illness, as long as there’s a breath of life left, I can save them."

"As for killing and protecting, as a cultivator, it’s even less of a challenge."

Although Elder Xu offered it freely, Ye Feng couldn’t accept it without giving something in return.

Indeed, obtaining this item, coupled with powerful swordsmanship, Ye Feng’s abilities would greatly enhance, so how could he take it for free?

"Alright then!" Hearing Ye Feng’s insistence, Elder Xu didn’t decline further.

However, Elder Xu felt somewhat disappointed inside, feeling distanced by Ye Feng’s clear distinction.

Seeing this, Ye Feng then realized his mistake in not being more considerate.

If things continue this way, Elder Xu might distance himself...
