Chapter 634: Chapter 644: Gifting Treasures
Her ability to make such a commitment, with a firm tone and candid expression, is sufficient to show that she is a person who understands gratitude. However, her naturally proud and cold nature makes her way of showing gratitude seem somewhat frosty.
It sounds more like a transaction of interests.
Seeing Si Huang follow Chu Feng, Han Sheng also expressed his gratitude to Elder Wen. His eyes flickered; if he did not make any gestures, it would have been looked down upon by others. It would also make Si Huang question his character.
"Damn, Chu Feng took the initiative first and acted like a lofty b*tch!"
While cursing in his heart, Han Sheng also stepped forward, bowed with clasped hands, and paid his respects to Elder Wen, "I am very grateful for the power transferred from Elder Wen, and I wish to fulfill your last wish together with Si Huang."
This was a good opportunity to get closer to Si Huang, which Han Sheng would not let pass.
Lu Kuixi wore a gloomy face and stood behind without saying a word.
Although he also received the power transfer from Elder Wen, he got the least power, and the explosion while scrambling for power caused injuries, which led to him feeling aggrieved and resentful.
A bag of rice nourishes gratitude, a ladle of rice breeds enmity.
The character of Lu Kuixi was not noble to begin with, and governed by selfish motives, he believed it was only natural for him to receive the power transfer. All this, he thought, was earned through his own efforts.
Resenting the insufficient power he received, he felt no gratitude; instead, he thought that Elder Wen’s power transfer was biased and unfair.
The Sect Master, who had been standing at the back, seeing Lu Kuixi make no gesture, immediately ordered, "Lu Kuixi, bow to Elder Wen to show your appreciation, so that Elder Wen can pass away happy."
At this moment, it was clear that Elder Wen could not hold on much longer.
"Sect Master, don’t blame me, I won’t bow to him. If it is a power transfer, why not do it one by one? This caused me to receive only a small amount of power." Lu Kuixi, being a True Disciple of the sect and having high-level cultivation reaching the Nine-star Sword God Realm.
Therefore, even in front of the Sect Master, he didn’t show much respect.
Especially when harboring resentment, his tone of speech is harsh.
Such behavior is truly disheartening.
How Elder Wen must feel about this is unknown, but it certainly couldn’t be good.
"Elder Wen’s time has come, waiting for all of you to arrive, he was only supported by a thread of will. How could he possibly transfer his power one by one?"
"You must apologize to Elder Wen quickly, so as not to let Elder Wen feel disheartened."
The Sect Master seems smooth, even indifferent and ruthless when Chu Feng was bullied by Elder Lei Ting. But overall, he still performs his duty well.
Being a head of a sect with a million members is not easy.
At least in the face of significant ethical matters, he performed his duty very well.
"I transferred my power to them without expecting anything in return. Human hearts are fickle, Master Sect, there is no need to be too strict with him." Elder Wen’s expression did not change.
Perhaps, having lived so many years, he had already become detached from everything.
His gaze fell on Chu Feng "Young man, what is your name?" Elder Wen’s look towards Chu Feng was especially gentle and kindly.
Because Chu Feng was the first to express his gratitude and act upon it.
He was naturally deeply loved and appreciated by Elder Wen.
With high moral character, Chu Feng has an exceptional personal charm. It’s normal for him to win the admiration and affection of these seniors.
"Disciple Chu Feng!"
"Chu... Feng, what a good name! I joined the Ten Thousand Sword Sect at the age of twenty-three, lived a life of ups and downs, and dedicated everything to the sect. After being promoted to Supreme Elder, my food and clothing were provided by the sect, and I didn’t retain any wealth either. These shoes are magical treasures, only those with Sword God Cultivation can activate and wear them."
"They can make your body light and agile, and are impervious to water and fire, allowing you to walk in harsh environments without hurting your feet. They can also fend off enemy attacks. Though not particularly powerful, they have accompanied me for most of my life and have helped me through countless dangers. Now I pass them on to you, hoping you will treat them well."
Elder Wen, tremblingly took out an item from his sleeve, which turned out to be a pair of shoes only the size of a thumb.
Runes flowed over them, emitting a thousand strands of auspicious Qi, clearly revealing them as an extraordinary treasure.
This was indeed a high-grade item.
It should belong to the same class as Chu Feng’s Heavenly Divine Weapon.
Chu Feng’s Heavenly Divine Weapon, the Demon Slaying Sword, can transform into a Sword Ball. Despite being tiny, these shoes, once refined and motivated by Sword Qi, can change to the appropriate size to fit snugly on Chu Feng’s feet.
Unfortunately, they are too high-level, and Chu Feng, with only Sword Saint Cultivation for now, cannot activate them.
He cannot wear them yet.
However, Chu Feng has already cultivated to the Late Stage Sword Saint realm, and is only a half step away from the Sword God Realm. It is believed that in a few years, he will be able to wear these treasure shoes.
They will provide him with enough motivation to cultivate even more diligently.
"Damn, this, this is a Magical Treasure..."
Han Sheng’s eyes went wide with awe.
"Not only is it a Magical Treasure, but it also belongs to the rare category of shoe Magical Treasures!" Lu Kuixi’s face contorted, his voice trembling.
Magical Treasures are high-grade equipment, and ordinary people might not even obtain one in their lifetime.
Shoe-type Magical Treasures are even rarer than other types of Magical Treasures.
Naturally, Lu Kuixi was insanely jealous, now regretting to the extent of turning green with remorse.
If he had known that expressing his gratitude to Elder Wen could have earned him such a gift, he would have willingly knelt and called him grandfather, or ancestor.
In his past life, even though Chu Feng was revered as Alchemy Venerate, he only managed to obtain one Magical Treasure, which was a cloak awarded to him at the Alchemy Dao conference. Unfortunately, it was later taken from him when he was killed by the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.
In this life, this is the second Magical Treasure he has acquired.
The first was the Heavenly Divine Weapon, the Demon Slaying Sword.
The Demon Slaying Sword is a weapon and is much more valuable than these treasure shoes. However, it is yet to be fully repaired.
It lacks only one last step, the restoration of the damaged Sword Spirit.
Previously, Chu Feng’s cultivation was too weak to activate the Heavenly Divine Weapon, so he was not in a hurry to repair it.
Now that he could step into the Sword God Realm at any moment, he also possesses the power to wield the Demon Slaying Sword. He must hasten to find a way to repair it.
The importance of a weapon is self-evident.
For a warrior, a gun is their second life. For Sword Cultivators, there has always been the saying: "As long as the sword exists, so does its bearer; if the sword perishes, so does the bearer."
The Demon Slaying Sword, in the near future, will definitely become Chu Feng’s ’teeth’.
"What virtue or ability do I possess, Chu Feng, to receive such precious gifts from my seniors, and now you bestow such a valuable treasure upon me... I am unworthy!" Chu Feng’s voice choked up, overwhelmed by Elder Wen’s excessive kindness towards him.
He and Elder Wen were neither kin nor kith, being only fellow Sect members.
Yet Elder Wen showed him such profound affection.
Feeling Elder Wen’s life force rapidly fading, sadness and pain arose from the depths of Chu Feng’s heart, growing more intense.
The most bitter grief is yearning, and the most painful is parting.
