?

  Lou opened the box in his hand, inside which was a flying sword emitting a faint blue light and crystal clear throughout.

  Li Hui's gaze was suddenly attracted, and he saw that the flying sword was more than two feet long. The hilt and blade were integrated, with a fine shape and a cold aura emanating from the sword, carrying three points of murderous intent.

  "Good sword!" Li Hui exclaimed, but then slightly furrowed his brow: "Why is there only one? Didn't the other two succeed in refining?"

  Lou smiled mysteriously and handed over the scabbard: "You'll know after you drip blood to acknowledge ownership."

  Li Hui took the sword case with a hint of doubt, and from it he pulled out the blue flying sword. A drop of fresh blood dripped onto it, and then it began to refine itself on the spot.

  Lou followed the wind with a smile at the corner of her mouth, watching Li Hui from the side.

  A moment later, Li Hui's face showed a joyful expression, and the blue flying sword in his hand emitted a faint blue light, quietly floating up, and the temperature around him dropped slightly. Then, the flying sword shook lightly in mid-air, and surprisingly, two more identical flying swords appeared, three flying swords floated together beside Li Hui, and the cold atmosphere in the hall became even thicker.

  These two flying swords were not illusory shadows created by the Sword Shadow Splitting Light technique, but were actually split into two real flying swords!

  Li Hui's mind stirred, and the three flying swords reunited as one, falling into his own hands. He fondled the long sword in his hand with a thrilled expression, reluctant to let go.

  "How's this? Is this flying sword set to your liking?" Lou Suifeng asked with a smile.

  "It's truly amazing, clearly three flying swords can merge into one body, and driving it doesn't feel the slightest bit unusual. I've never seen such a refining technique before." Li Hui praised.

  "Haha, you're getting the hang of it! This flying sword was forged by a Golden Core elder and has reached the level of a 'pseudo-treasured sword', possessing some characteristics of a treasured sword. That's why it can merge into one or split apart. The sword is extremely sharp and has reached the hardness of an ordinary treasured sword. When facing an enemy, even if they're wielding a high-grade spiritual artifact, you can easily cut them down. Moreover, it can release the energy of the Dry Blue Mystic Ice, freezing your enemies in place." Lou Suifeng explained with a big laugh.

  Li Hui was shocked, this set of flying swords was indeed a top-notch product, and it could actually reach the hardness of an ordinary magic treasure!

  "Li Hui, such a precious sword, how can it be nameless? You'd better give this set of flying swords a name quickly." Lou Suifeng's expression changed as he smiled and said.

  Li Hui's heart moved upon hearing this, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "This sword is forged from the essence of Qianlan Xuan Yu, its entire body icy cold. Let's call it Xuanfeng Sword."

  "Mystic Frost Sword, what a fine sword, and what a great name!" Lou Suifeng applauded and praised.

  "Thank you, Brother Lou, for the beautiful sword. I, Li Hui, will remember this kindness." Li Hui put the Xuanfeng Sword into his storage bag and spoke seriously to Lou Suifeng.

  Lou waved his hand: "What's the point of saying these things about our friendship? I came this time, first to bring you the flying sword, and second because my father wanted to see you. I didn't expect it would take five whole days for you to come out."

  Li Hui was taken aback: "Your father wants to see me?"

  Lou smiled slightly and said: "That's right. My father heard that your swordsmanship is quite formidable, so he wants to meet you."

  Li Hui heard this, but quickly thought to himself that Lou Feng's father, as a Golden Elixir cultivator, would not have any extraordinary performances for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him. The so-called "see my sword technique" was just an excuse, and he suspected there were other purposes.

  On the surface, Li Hui was calm and composed, smiling: "My humble skills, how could they enter your esteemed eyes? It's just that I was in seclusion, cultivating, and didn't know you were summoning me. I'm truly sorry for my rudeness." A hint of apology appeared on his face.

  "It's okay, my father also said it's fine as long as you have time to go see him."

  Li Hui hesitated for a moment before saying: "Since that's the case, if it's convenient for you now, I'll go with you to pay respects to Lou Qianbei."

  Lou nodded slightly: "Alright then, I'll go with you to see Father."

  ……

  Lou's Western Mansion, in the reception hall.

  Lou followed the wind and first reported, then walked into the hall with Li Hui.

  In the center of the hall sat a man with a stern face, a square-shaped face, and a long beard under his chin. His hair was tied up with a golden crown, and he appeared to be around forty years old. He wore a purple robe and was none other than Lou Zhongming, the master of the Western Lou Mansion.

  "The child has seen his father. This is my friend Li Hui." Lou Sui Feng bowed to Lou Zhengming and introduced Li Hui's identity.

  "Junior Li Hui has seen Senior Lou in front of him." Li Hui said with a slight bow.

  Lou Zhengming smiled slightly: "No need for excessive courtesy, I've heard my son praise you many times, and indeed you are a talented person."

  Li Hui respectfully said: "Senior is overpraising."

  Lou Zhengming burst out laughing: "I heard from Su Feng that your swordsmanship is quite exquisite, and you once defeated a Golden Elixir stage demonic beast in this vast swampy terrain, causing it to flee with injuries. I must admit, I'm rather curious - may I have the pleasure of witnessing it?"

  Li Hui's heart moved, this building was originally a respected position with the Golden Elixir Cultivator and the Lord of the Lou Family's Western Manor, being so polite to him, it was indeed a heroic figure, able to have such a city! And proposing to let himself demonstrate the sword technique, also had a few points of testing his own cultivation meaning inside, looking at it this way, this Lou family, really can't say for sure if there's somewhere they need to rely on him.

  "This humble junior's minor skill, how dare I show off in front of seniors? However, since senior has the intention, junior will present it. It's just that there are some inconveniences in this hall, please senior move to outside the hall for a look." Li Hui said calmly.

  Lou Zhengming was slightly stunned in his heart, this great hall was dozens of feet deep and tens of feet wide, but Li Hui actually felt that the hall was not enough to demonstrate his swordsmanship, and he also had a few curious thoughts in his mind.

  "Haha, okay, then let's go outside." Lou Zhengming laughed loudly.

  Empty space outside the hall.

  Lou Zhengming stood upright in the hall, Lou Feng stood beside him with his hands hanging down.

  "Elder brother, junior brother has made a fool of himself!" Li Hui said with a bow.

  Lou Zhengming nodded slightly.

  Li Hui stood quietly in the empty space in front of the hall, the Xuanfeng sword floating in front of him with a faint cold glow. Li Hui's aura suddenly began to rise, and the Xuanfeng sword trembled slightly, its light bursting forth as it emitted an astonishing sword intent and killing energy.

  Lou Zhengming's heart slightly stirred, his face turned solemn.

  "Whoosh!"

  Xuanfeng sword swept through the void with an endless sense of gloom and killing intent, going forward without hesitation, full of decisive meaning. The air seemed to be frozen by this icy sword energy, and then torn apart by the sword's intention. The sword's momentum became more urgent, just as it reached its peak, suddenly turned around, the sword body completely changed direction, hooked back, the killing intent in the sword was even thicker, the speed and momentum did not weaken at all.

  Goodbye!

  Xuanfeng sword flew back, but the tip of the sword was pointing in the direction where Lou Zhengming and Lou Sui were standing. Lou Zhengming only felt a cold sword energy coming towards him, his heart moved, and he almost wanted to take action to block this sword.

  "Hee hee hee!"

  The Xuanfeng sword paused at this moment, after a spin, it shot out again, but in mid-air, it shook and transformed into dozens of sword shadows. For a time, the sword energy was crisscrossing in the air, the sound of the sword breaking through the air was loud, and the dense sword energy enveloped an area of several meters.

  "Cut!"

  Li Hui let out a light rebuke, and the myriad sword shadows immediately retracted, leaving only one massive flying sword to slash down with unmatched momentum.

  This move is precisely "Cutting Off Longing".

  Lou Zhengming's pupils contracted slightly.

  Li Hui stood solemnly, his aura surging again, the Xuanfeng Sword instantly transformed into a giant sword of several meters, unmatched killing intent emanating from the sword body.

  "Explode!"

  The Xuanfeng sword trembled, shot forward and disappeared into the void. The next moment, the sword appeared tens of feet away, emitting a dazzling light like a meteor breaking through the sky.

  Lou Zhengming only felt that when Li Hui's last sword was issued, he faintly felt a few points of danger, and the spiritual power all over his body stirred restlessly, wanting to protect himself.

  "Whoosh!"

  The Frost Sword flew back like a whale sucking water and returned to Li Hui's hand.

  "Senior, this is the most proud swordsmanship of junior, please senior to point out." Li Hui's face was slightly pale, and he respectfully said to Lou Zhengming.

  In fact, when Li Hui just demonstrated the three swords, he didn't exert his full strength at all, only revealing half of his power, but this matter couldn't be seen by Lou Zhengming, so he deliberately pretended to be exhausted.

  Lou Zhengming was slightly distracted, but when he heard Li Hui's words, he immediately reacted and his face remained expressionless.

  "This is indeed a top-notch Sword Immortal Technique, with a hint of the elegance of an ancient sword immortal!" Lou Zhengming exclaimed in praise.

  Li Hui's heart slightly moved, and he opened his mouth: "Senior is overpraising."

  Lou Zhengming shook his head: "It's not that I'm overpraising you, your Sword Controlling Divine Ability indeed has a bit of the style of an ancient sword immortal, I don't know where you learned this divine ability from, it really is astonishing."

  Unconsciously, Lou Zhengming's way of addressing Li Hui also changed to "Xianzhi".

  Li Hui's heart moved slightly, and he replied: "This three-style sword technique of mine was unintentionally obtained from an abandoned cave, unfortunately there are only three styles."

  Lou Zhengming nodded: "Being able to obtain three formulas is already a great blessing."

  These three sword moves are indeed exquisite, but in Lou Zhengming's eyes, they didn't cause excessive astonishment, only a slight sense of surprise. Therefore, regarding Li Hui's words, he didn't have any doubts and didn't ask further questions.

  Li Hui secretly let out a breath of relief, these three sword moves were created by himself, and the distance from Yuan Hua's true swordsmanship was still unknown, so he dared to display them with ease.

  Lou Zhengming was now somewhat confident in Li Hui's abilities, especially with that last sword strike, which could indeed pose a certain threat to the golden elixir stage beast. However, for a golden elixir cultivator, it still wasn't much of a threat. After all, human cultivators' spiritual attainments were far more exquisite than those of beasts. Nevertheless, he was also convinced that if Li Hui and Lou Suifeng could travel together in the Beast Valley, they would have many more guarantees.

  The three people returned to the hall once again.

  "Xian nephew is so young and has such great achievements, it's really amazing. It's also his good fortune to have made friends with someone like you." Lou Zhengming said with a smile.

  Li Hui humbly said: "Being able to meet Brother Sui Feng is also a good fortune for me."

  "Haha, alright then, I won't let you off the hook that easily. This time, I've asked you to come over because there's something I need your help with." Lou Zhengming chuckled and got straight to the point.
