Sword roars and dragon cries sounded.
The "Golden Core cultivators" responsible for guarding the "Star Sand Mountain" suddenly transformed, as if they had become different people.
From ordinary, unremarkable minor cultivators, they became "unsheathed peerless divine swords"!
Powerful sword intent erupted from them.
Unrivaled sharpness!
A single sword could shatter heaven and earth!
Kill, kill, kill!
Almost simultaneously, the inconspicuous cloth strips on their backs shattered.
Sword after sword soared into the sky.
Sword qi pierced the heavens, sword light blazed across the sky.
The surrounding world transformed into an "ocean of sword qi."
Even more terrifying was that these flying swords were no ordinary ones; each emitted the immensely powerful aura of a "Post-natal Spiritual Treasure"!
The terrifying "Post-natal Spiritual Treasure aura" swept through the area, filling the entire space.
How terrifying!
The cultivators of "Tianxin Holy Land" were all dumbfounded!
What did they see?
Five or six "Post-natal Spiritual Treasure level flying swords" roared through the sky.
The sharp sword intent and formidable sword momentum made the "Nascent Soul cultivator" who had spoken so boastfully feel an infinite threat of death.
He would die!
He would truly die!
Let alone five or six "Post-natal Spiritual Treasure level flying swords" attacking together.
Even a single one of them could easily slay him.
"Post-natal Spiritual Treasure level flying swords" were heaven-defying cheats, capable of allowing a "Golden Core cultivator" to "challenge across major realms."
Moreover, the aura currently displayed by these "Golden Core Sword Cultivators" indicated that they were far from ordinary.
If nothing else, the domineering and powerful "Azure Lotus Sword Intent" that erupted from them was enough to plunge all their opponents into despair.
This group of "swordmen" was so terrifying!
The poor "Nascent Soul cultivator" was almost scared to urinate!
Mom, it's so scary here, I want to go home!
Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen, standing nearby, were greatly alarmed. They quickly stepped forward, plastering smiles on their faces, and spoke to the leading "swordman."
"Brother Xiaoyao, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive! They are all law-abiding citizens, good citizens!"
The leading "swordman" snorted upon hearing this.
"Let me reiterate, call me by my full name, Li Xiaoyao. Don't call me Brother Xiaoyao..."
This "swordman" was none other than the big brother of the "Sword Renters," Li Xiaoyao, the first to obtain "Sword Rental Qualification."
Since the entire group of "Sword Renters" had protected Qian Duoduo during his "merchant runs," their main business of "clearing dungeons" had been put on hold.
When they returned from their "merchant runs," they reluctantly discovered that the "clearing dungeons" business had long since become a "nationwide entertainment activity."
The current "clearing dungeons" was too competitive!
Some shameless cultivators actively engaged in "996" work to "clear dungeons."
Too much competition, more so than layered pastries!
As a result, all the "Sword Renters" abandoned "clearing dungeons" and instead "worked" for Qian Duoduo.
Their main tasks were guarding the "Star Sand Mountain" and filling "Star Radiance Water," and so on.
These jobs were not exactly "dignified" and did not fit the "aloof swordman" persona of the "Sword Renters."
Li Xiaoyao and the others had considered "throwing in the towel."
But alas, Qian Duoduo "gave too much."
The daily wage for each person was set at one thousand low-grade spirit stones, with commissions and bonuses.
If the "Sword Renters" worked hard, earning fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones a month was not a problem.
The only drawback was that Qian Duoduo, that "fatty," had a really sharp tongue...
He liked to call Li Xiaoyao "Brother Xiaoyao" whenever he pleased.
What was speechless was that this "nickname" was incredibly infectious, and even the other "Sword Renters" were swayed by the "fatty."
The entire group of "swordmen," every single one of them, began to call their big brother Li Xiaoyao "Brother Xiaoyao."
Among them, Yun Tianhe and Xu Changqing, these two "premium swordmen," were the most outrageous. They called Li Xiaoyao like this, "Brother Xiaoyao~~~"
Can you hear it? It even had a trembling, drawn-out final syllable, making people want to vomit their dinner, didn't it!
These things could be overlooked, as they were all brothers, a "swordman" family, one could endure.
But this "fatty" was too inconsiderate. After returning to the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest," he continued to call him "Brother Xiaoyao" with great glee.
This nickname was extremely addictive!
Within half a day, all the cultivators, from top to bottom, in the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" were calling Li Xiaoyao "Brother Xiaoyao."
Even the usually highly respected "Yun Zhenting" and the calm and dignified "True Master Qingfeng" joined everyone in earnestly calling Li Xiaoyao "Brother Xiaoyao."
Can you imagine the psychological shadow area of "Brother Xiaoyao" at that time?
It was larger than the "dark side of the moon"!
Therefore, Li Xiaoyao now hated being called "Brother Xiaoyao" the most.
He demanded that Sima Longgen immediately change this address.
Sima Longgen quickly nodded.
"Okay, Brother Xiaoyao!"
Your mother!
Li Xiaoyao genuinely wanted to activate his "Azure Origin Immortal Sword" and cleave this scoundrel to death.
Sima Longgen knew he had said the wrong thing. He quickly handed over his "Golden Core Membership Card" and said to Li Xiaoyao,
"Brother Xiaoyao, I really want to buy Star Sand. I want to buy one qian!"
One jin equals ten liang, and ten liang equals one hundred qian.
Converted to the real-world unit "grams," one qian is equivalent to "5 grams."
Very little, extremely little!
But for "Star Sand," such a supreme "heavenly material and earthly treasure," one qian was already a large transaction.
One qian of "Star Sand" required at least thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones!
Uh...
These were not the重點 (key points)!
The current重點 (key point) was that "Brother Xiaoyao" was clearly enraged, and he was about to draw his sword to kill. How could he calmly do business with you now!
When everyone expected Sima Longgen to be killed by "Brother Xiaoyao," an unexpected scene occurred.
When "Brother Xiaoyao" clearly heard that Sima Longgen wanted to buy one qian of "Star Sand," the killing intent all over his body dissipated, and he put on a "kind and gentle" smile.
"Dear customer, thank you for visiting! One qian of Star Sand is priced at one thousand low-grade spirit stones. As you possess a Golden Core Membership Card, you enjoy a thirty percent discount on the entire purchase. You need to pay three hundred low-grade spirit stones in total!"
One qian of "Star Sand" for only three hundred low-grade spirit stones!
This, this, this is too cheap!
Bah!
These were not the重點 (key points) at all! The重點 (key point) was "Brother Xiaoyao's" attitude!
Just now "Brother Xiaoyao" was full of killing intent, shouting about fighting and killing. How did he suddenly become "gentle and kind" in the blink of an eye?
And his use of "dear customer" made people's skin crawl, didn't it!
