Yi Qing walked straight into the pillar of light. The initially ferocious sword Qi seemed to become less aggressive – it did not seem to be harmful to Yi Qing. Instead, the beam of light embraced Yi Qing as he walked into it. Yi Qing walked toward the little child and sat down next to him, folding his legs. A stronger sword Qi began to emerge from his body, forming a great, white dragon. The dragon encircled the white beam of light and flew toward the sky. In a few moments, the light beam became thinner and less powerful.

Bao Feiping’s anxious heart finally relaxed. He could not help but exclaim. This time, the demonic attacks seemed to be a blessing in disguise. He did not think that after all these years of effort spent searching for a sword cultivator, one would willingly walk up to his doorstep. This only proved the Little An was not fated to die young.

“Please do not worry, City Lord,” Lonemoon assured him, his eyes twinkling. He stepped toward the City Lord and continued, “My good friend over here is very reliable in whatever he does. Your little child will be alright. My friend just needs time to get rid of his sword Qi. The two of you were seriously injured in the battle against the demons earlier; you should probably get some rest.”

Bao Feiping hesitated for a few seconds before he finally brought himself to respond. He looked toward the man standing on Lonemoon’s left and suddenly went pale. He rushed forward and asked, “Father, are you okay?”

“I’m alright!” The immortal swatted his son’s hand away and looked back at his grandson in the beam of light. “I’ll be fine after sitting for awhile,” he said as he sank down onto the floor, closing his eyes to regulate his Qi. The regulation of his immortal Qi caused his injured arm to begin healing

Seeing that his father was resting, Bao Feiping finally retreated and turned toward Lonemoon, fists cupped. “Thank you for both of your help today. My Bao family will never forget what you have done for us. How should I address the two of you?”

“We are from Invincible Sect,” Lonemoon replied, grinning. He pointed toward the man in the pillar of light and said, “He is Yi Qing. Beside him is Shen Ying. I am Lonemoon. We have all just ascended to immortality, so we are all Earth Immortals.”

Bao Feiping paused. They had indeed just ascended to immortality, but he had never heard of Invincible Sect. Could it be a newly established sect? He was confused, but could not bring himself to ask about Invincible Sect. Politely, he said, “If not for your help today, there could have been major damage done to Qu Shuang City. We could have fallen into the hands of those demons.”

“City Lord, you are too kind,” Lonemoon replied. He glanced at the child in the pillar of light once again and said, “But I do not understand. Sword cultivators are born with the Primordial Soul Sword Qi in their meridians – this should only work out for their benefit. Why is the child… and he’s even being plotted against by demons.” From the demons to the people Shen Ying had defeated in the compounds; it was obvious that they were all after this child.

Bao Feiping looked shocked at Lonemoon’s question. It was weird that Lonemoon knew about the Primordial Soul Sword Qi. However, on further thought, Lonemoon was accompanied by Yi Qing, who had an innate sword embodiment. It should be of no surprise that even Lonemoon knew about the Primordial Soul Sword Qi. He summoned an isolation array, sighed, and began to explain, “The Primordial Soul Sword Qi is indeed beneficial for sword cultivators, but this is not the case for my son.” There was no point hiding anymore. Bao Feiping decided to tell Lonemoon everything he knew.

“He had an innate sword embodiment, but he was also a born-immortal. He was born in the immortal realm and already had immortal bones when he came into this world. Without any need for training, he became an Earth Immortal. Because of this, the Primordial Soul Sword Qi in his body became stronger and stronger very rapidly. He’s only eight years old this year, and his immortal body is very weak. He’s definitely not strong enough to contain such strong sword Qi within his body. The Primordial Soul Sword Qi is known for being very aggressive. Apart from people with the innate sword embodiment, nobody else would be able to control it. That’s why my father set up the suppressive array. He thought that it would be best to remove the array only when Little An becomes strong enough to contain the sword Qi in his body, but who knew…”

As if recalling something, Bao Feiping shook his head and continued, “Neither my father nor myself are sword immortals; we do not understand anything about this sword Qi. We didn’t expect that the more we tried to suppress the Primordial Soul Sword Qi, the stronger it would get. But my son’s body… is so susceptible to manipulation. That’s why we built this Weighty Tower: First, to suppress the strengthening sword Qi within his body; Second, to hide his innate sword embodiment. All this time, we have also secretly been searching for another sword immortal like him.”

“But it isn’t easy for sword cultivators to train. Fewer and fewer sword cultivators make it to immortality. Besides, not just any sword cultivator can help him – only those with the innate sword embodiment can. All these years, we searched high and low throughout this country and many others, yet we have not been able to find such an immortal to help my son. Three years ago, the sword Qi in his body suddenly exploded. My father used all of his power to re-suppress the sword Qi, but the strong surge of sword Qi in the area attracted people who sought to manipulate my son’s body.”

“Those demons?” Lonemoon asked.

“That’s right!” Bao Feiping nodded. “In these three years, demons have not dared to enter this city. But they have enchanted several cultivators, causing them to enter my abode and attempt to kidnap my son and bring him out of the city. To this day, they have not succeeded. I did not think that the demons would dare to enter my abode this time.”

So this was it. They were so lucky that they had come in the nick of time.

“We are really grateful to the two of you,” Bao Feiping thanked Lonemoon once more. “Once my son is safe, I will definitely go to your sect and thank you officially.”

“We are all fellow immortals. We are all on the same side, against the demons. This has always been the way my Invincible Sect works.”

This was how Lonemoon chose to put it. But the fact remained that when the demons appeared, every immortal who did not reside in the City Lord’s Abode ran for their own lives. Only Lonemoon and Yi Qing rushed in to their aid. Bao Feiping became even more overwhelmed with gratitude as he thought about this. “The fact that you are saying this is making me more interested in your sect. But I have never heard of it.”

“It is a long story. My Invincible Sect…” Lonemoon’s grin was so wide that his eyes were but slits. He suddenly realised that this was the perfect opportunity to fool Bao Feiping.

Shen Ying, who was watching all of this, suddenly let out a yawn. She glanced from Lonemoon to Bao Feiping, noticing that they were becoming more engrossed in conversation. They were getting on so well that it seemed like they were going to become sworn brothers soon. Then, she turned to glance at her chef, who was still hard at work.

I don’t know how long more they will take. I’m so sleepy!

Hm, if I take a nap now, they probably wouldn’t notice, would they?

——————

Once Yi Qing sat down, he did not get up for the rest of the night, until late the next morning. He and the child remained deep in focus the entire time. Lonemoon, on the other hand, had already struck a good deal with Bao Feiping.

Shen Ying had no idea how Father Niu managed to hoax the man. All she knew was that by the time she woke up from her nap, there were about ten more people in Invincible Sect. There were all sorts of talents too: pill cultivators, weapon masters, talisman masters and array masters. All of them were experts.

To put it nicely, both sides were co-operating to bring forth the best to the other party.

But the talents were theirs; the skills were theirs; even the sales channels were theirs.

All of the profits from these were… Invincible Sect’s!

Lonemoon felt like he had gained a valuable egg-laying hen overnight. Shen Ying had nothing else to say other than “Good job”.

“We’ll be counting on you then, City Lord Bao.” Lonemoon was smiling from ear to ear.

“Leave it to me, Fellow Immortal Lonemoon.” Bao Feiping was smiling equally brightly, as if he was the one who was gaining the unfair advantage. “My Bao Abode is the one that’s troubling your sect.”

Even Bao Feiping’s father- the strongest Exalted Immortal in Qu Shuang City, Bao Yi – was nodding profusely. He had woken up mid-way through and was dragged into the negotiations. “That’s right, we are the ones who are troubling you!”

“After so long, we still don’t know where your sect is located.”

Lonemoon pulled a map out from within his robes and pointed to a spot at the edge of a piece of land. “Here!”

Bao Feiping paused. Then, he said guiltily, “Why is your sect located at such a deserted place? It is our fault for not noticing – that location is simply not befitting of a sect like yours! Why don’t you choose another location with thicker immortal Qi? As long as it is within Qu Shuang City and you like it, we will give it to you!”

“That’s right! As long as it is in Qu Shuang City, it is yours!” Bao Yi added.

Shen Ying: “…” What the hell!

It is decided: there will be extra dishes for lunch today!
