Chapter 182 The Ten Famous Swords

Qinglong took a few steps forward and squinted at him. Zhou Chen felt uneasy when he looked at him, "Sir, please don't look at me like that."

“I’m curious how you got it”?
Zhou Chen thought for a while and said, "I got it accidentally when I was out on a mission before. You don't know that I almost died in his hands at that time. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to survive."

Although he was a little unconvinced, Qinglong did not ask too many questions, "Huh, you have too many secrets. Fortunately, I have not cultivated ice-attributed Qi, otherwise I would have to kill you and snatch the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice."

After a few casual words, Qinglong returned to the Demon Suppression Division, while Zhou Chen returned home. The matter was considered to be completely resolved, and Wu'an County returned to normal.

Zhou Chen had nothing to do during this period of time. He practiced hard all day long to absorb the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice in his body. He also refined the second level of his Linglong Tower. The magical power of the second level was much more practical than the first level.

Zhou Chen sat cross-legged in the room. With a thought, a layer of the Linglong Tower appeared above his head. Although he didn't feel anything at the moment, it was because his true energy was still in a full state.

The function of this magical power is to increase the speed of his Qi recovery. With the blessing of the tower, his Qi recovery speed is ten times faster than usual.

Although his Qi reserves have now reached a considerable level, the Qi in his Dantian has also changed from a small drop of water into a pool of water, but his pool of water is still very small. If he encounters a strong opponent and engages in a war of attrition, then this magical power of his will be very useful.

As long as the tower is hanging above his head, even if he does not practice, the proportion of his true energy recovery will be calculated according to his full strength of practice.

He then opened his equipment panel to check. Although he was now a fifth-grade warrior, his demon pattern was still a sixth-grade demon pattern, and he only had one fifth-grade demon pattern.

The only thing that made him feel relieved was that he had strengthened this demon pattern to eleven. It was said before that the power of the copied martial arts would be increased by 10% for every level of strengthening of the demon pattern. When it was strengthened to ten, the power would be increased to %.

The original attack power of 100 became 200, and although the enhancement to 11 only increased it by 10%, the previous 2% increased his attack power a lot, because the calculation method was not based on the damage of the martial arts itself, but on the total damage added by the demon pattern.

For example, if Ao Longyou’s strength is 10, a 10% increase in damage would originally increase the damage by 10 points, but his 10% directly increases the damage by 20 points.

There were no fifth-grade monsters near Wu'an County at the moment, and he had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.

During this period, Zhou Chen also brought Leng Yiyao to the 19th team of Qinglong Hall. As for the task of joining the Demon Suppression Division, it is a piece of cake for Leng Yiyao now. The 19th team now has four people.

After joining the Demon Suppression Division, Leng Yiyao was happy for several days. As for his sixth-grade cultivation, it naturally could not be hidden from Qinglong's eyes. However, the two had an agreement before, so Qinglong couldn't say anything.

Zhou Chen also tried to ask about the White Tiger, but Qinglong glared at him and said, “Things like this have been arranged by the higher authorities, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Qinglong has been very busy during this period when Baihu is away, because the affairs of Baihu Hall have been temporarily handed over to Qinglong. As for Baihu's affairs, they are handled by Qinglong's superiors, and he doesn't know the details.

On this day, before Zhou Chen and Leng Yiyao went to the Demon Suppression Division, Qinglong sent him a message using the jade pendant, asking them to go there quickly. Zhou Chen did not dare to delay and immediately took Leng Yiyao to the Demon Suppression Division.

When he arrived, Leng Ningshuang and Wang Yong had been waiting here for a long time. Noticing Zhou Chen coming, Qinglong pushed open the door and walked out. Seeing this, Zhou Chen hurriedly bowed.

"Sir, I wonder why you are so anxious to see me here?"
"It's not a big deal, I just want you to go out and find something." "I don't know what it is?"
Qinglong looked at the gate, thought for a while and said, "The famous sword Yue, ranked tenth on the Famous Sword List, appeared on Mount Jiuhua, six hundred miles away. Go and get it back for me."

Zhou Chen was greatly shocked after hearing this. Among the ten legendary swords, each one was extraordinary and their reputation was definitely not less than that of Xuanbing. Moreover, the ten swords had existed for a long time, and most of them were missing, with only a few in the hands of a few sword masters.

Qinglong then told Zhou Chen and the others the details. Although this sword was among the famous swords, it had disappeared for hundreds of years until recently when several tomb robbers encountered it in a large tomb on Mount Jiuhua.

Famous swords are spiritual. The legendary ten famous swords each gave birth to a sword spirit. Those people were too weak to be worthy of mentioning the famous swords, so Yue is still in that tomb.

As for the specific location of the tomb, we have to find out by finding those tomb robbers. According to the news, Qinglong has found one of the tomb robbers, and now he is being held in the county jail in Nanyang County. However, this guy was imprisoned for other things, not for tomb robbing, so no one knows his identity yet.

"But you have to hurry, because someone has already started to act. If you are late, the things will be taken away by others."

Zhou Chen bowed and said, "Yes, sir, we will do our best to help you bring your things back."

"What do you mean by we must try our best to bring it back?"

Zhou Chen said with some embarrassment, "You also know what this thing is. There are many people who want to get it. What should we do if we encounter a powerful enemy who wants to snatch Yue away? We can't protect him even if we die."

"Don't give me that crap. I won't let you go for nothing. If you can bring something back, I promise to let each of you pick a Xuan-level martial arts book."

After hearing his words, all four of them showed joy on their faces, and Zhou Chen quickly said, "Thank you, sir."

"No need to thank me. You can only get it if you do the job well. If you don't do it well, forget about martial arts."

He had no other choice. If he had any other solution, he would not have gone to these people. He would have just robbed them himself long ago.

They did not dare to delay after receiving the task. Leng Ningshuang and the other two went to prepare fast horses, while Zhou Chen spent a large amount of money to buy several Thousand Mile Talismans.

This thing can increase the travel speed by five times. When attached to the horse, they can complete the journey that normally takes half a month in just three days. However, this thing is not cheap. One piece costs three hundred taels. If Zhou Chen did not have some financial resources, he really could not afford it.

However, this amount of money is far from enough to buy a Xuan-level martial arts book. If it were placed on the black market, a Xuan-level martial arts book could cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, and you might not be able to find the one that suits you.

After everything was ready, the four of them rode on fast horses and rushed towards Nanyang County. With the blessing of the Thousand Mile Talisman, the speed of the horses increased dramatically. Zhou Chen was fine, but the others watched the scene in front of them pass by quickly, and they were a little uncomfortable for a while.

Fortunately, they did not encounter any troubles along the way, and they arrived at Nanyang County smoothly after three days. Nanyang County was stronger than Wu'an County, but there was one bad thing, that is, the county magistrate and the county governor of Nanyang County were really bad people.

Although the two lords of Wu'an County cannot be said to love the people like their own children, they will not easily cause trouble for the people. However, it is different in Nanyang County. The city entrance fee alone is three times that of Wu'an County.
