Dao Sword, Heavenly Balance!

Mu Wan led Qin Yi and the others back to Tianxuan Palace.

She led Qin Yi to the treasure vault of Tianxuan Palace.

Inside the treasure vault, all kinds of miraculous elixirs, spirit stones, and weapons were displayed in dazzling array.

Mu Wan stated directly, "According to the rules of Tianxing Martial Academy, anyone who condenses their Golden Core can receive a resource reward of 30,000 Star Points at once."

"You can choose for yourself."

"You can choose anything that costs more than 30,000 star points. If you don't have enough star points, the Palace Master will make up the difference!"

At Tianxing Martial Academy, Star Points cannot be given away privately. Some places require Star Points to enter, but it is fine to exchange Star Points for items and give them to others as long as they do not involve the inheritance of cultivation techniques.

In any case, Mu Wan's Star Points will be deducted when she exchanges items. After Mu Wan runs out of Star Points, she will have to earn Star Points through the rules of Tianxing Martial Academy. This will ensure that the Star Point system remains stable.

Looking at the dazzling array of items, Qin Yi felt a little overwhelmed. He really didn't know what to choose, so he cupped his hands and asked, "Palace Master, do you have any suggestions?"

A smile appeared on Mu Wan's face, and then she looked at a sword placed on the weapon rack.

"Go, try to pull out that sword," Mu Wan said.

Qin Yi hummed in agreement. He walked to the weapon rack, and the next moment, his expression hardened. He said, "Palace Master, this is a low-grade Dao sword... worth 300,000 Star Points..."

"This is too expensive!"

His reward for condensing his golden core was 30,000 star points.

If he wants this sword... Mu Wan will have to pay 270,000 Star Points for him.

If measured in terms of purchasing power in the outside world, one Star Point from Tianxing Martial Academy is equivalent to three Yuan Stones.

In other words, this low-grade Dao sword is worth 900,000 Yuan Stones.

Mu Wan will be paying 810,000 spirit stones for Qin Yi!

Mu Wan said, "Never mind how much this sword is worth. Tell me, what's its name?"

Qin Yi looked at the inscription on the weapon rack and then said, "Tianjun".

Mu Wan nodded and said, "That's right. This low-grade Dao sword is called Tianjun. Thirty-six years ago, your father, Qin Dao, wielded Tianjun in Tianxuan Palace and won first place in the Tianxing Grand Competition."

"Later, due to the Qin family's affairs, he left Tianxing Martial Academy ahead of schedule, and thus returned the Tianjun Sword to Tianxuan Palace."

"Over the years, many have tried to draw this sword, but none have been able to get it out of its sheath!"

"Originally, the Palace Master planned to bring you here to see if you could draw this sword after you reached the Cave Heaven Realm. If you could, he would give you this sword."

"Unexpectedly, you've condensed a golden core. Since that's the case, then I'll let you wield this sword ahead of schedule!"

Upon hearing Mu Wan's words, Qin Yi cupped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "Thank you, Palace Master!"

"Draw your sword!"

"The Palace Master believes you can do it!"

"Let the Heavenly Sword shine once more in your father's hands!"

Mu Wan's face showed anticipation.

Qin Yi nodded, grabbed the scabbard with his left hand, took the Tianjun Sword from the weapon rack, and gripped the hilt tightly with his right hand.

The sword was not yet drawn.

The sound of a sword ringing out came from its sheath.

It was crisp and resonant, making a clear, ringing sound.

The next moment, Qin Yi gripped the sword hilt and exerted force.

"Whoosh!"

The low-grade Dao sword, Tianjun, is drawn!

In an instant, sword light burst forth, profound and vast, magnificent and imposing!

With his Limitless Sword Body, drawing the Heavenly Jun Sword was naturally no problem for him. Moreover, the Heavenly Jun Sword was extremely close to Qin Yi, and its sword cry was even clearer, as if it were cheering and jumping for joy.

Looking at Qin Yi, who was holding the Tianjun Sword and bathed in its light, Mu Wan was momentarily stunned and dazed. In a daze, she seemed to see the spirited and handsome young man from thirty-six years ago.

She quickly suppressed the complicated thoughts in her mind and said, "Take another look at the other things."

Qin Yi: "Palace Master, I have already obtained the low-grade Dao Sword Tianjun, and I cannot take any more."

Mu Wan directly took out bottles of pills and stuffed them into Qin Yi's hands, saying, "Why are you being so polite? Although this treasure vault belongs to the Heavenly Star Martial Academy, as the master of a palace, do you think I lack Star Points?"

Qin Yi: "But, Palace Master, you already consumed a lot of precious resources when you helped me form my core..."

Today, he overheard some discussions among those around him and learned that Mu Wan had incurred many favors and spent a lot of star points to exchange for resources in order to help him achieve the Core Formation.

Mu Wan looked indifferent: "Then your palace master earns a lot too."

"Alright, stop being so coy. You're a man, you should have guts."

"Take these for now, come back to me when you're done."

At this moment, she had already stuffed Qin Yi's arms full of pills.

Qin Yi put all the pills into his storage ring, and instead of thanking him, he solemnly said, "Palace Master, I will definitely live up to your expectations. I will strive to repay you in the future!"

"That's right!" Mu Wanxin said with relief.

Qin Yi asked, "By the way, Palace Master, what's this Heavenly Star Competition you mentioned earlier?"

Mu Wan said, "The Heavenly Star Grand Competition is a competition held by the Heavenly Star Martial Academy every three years. Any disciple who has reached the five-star level can register to participate."

Qin Yi's eyes flashed, and he said, "Does that include core disciples as well?"

The disciples of Tianxing Martial Academy are divided into three levels: ordinary disciples, core disciples, and true disciples.

Ordinary disciples and core disciples are both divided into one-star to ten-star levels.

As for true disciples, there is no such distinction.

Mu Wan shook her head and said, "The Heavenly Star Competition for ordinary disciples and core disciples are separate. The Heavenly Star Competition for core disciples was already held last year."

"The Heavenly Star Competition for ordinary disciples will be held this year, starting in two and a half months."

Qin Yi asked, "When my father won first place, was he first among the ordinary disciples or the core disciples?"

Mu Wan said, "Your father was the top ordinary disciple. After he was promoted to a core disciple, he left Tianxing Martial Academy before he could participate in the core disciple Tianxing Grand Competition."

Qin Yi said, "Palace Master, I will represent Tianxuan Palace in this year's Heavenly Star Competition for ordinary disciples and win first place to present to you!"

Mu Wan wanted to hug Qin Yi, but she held back in the end. She gently rubbed Qin Yi's head and said, "It will start in two and a half months. The minimum requirement for registration is to be a five-star disciple. There isn't enough time to advance from a one-star disciple to a five-star disciple."

"The Palace Master is already very pleased that you have this intention."

"Alright, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. You've been working hard all day. You just formed your Golden Core, so you need to consolidate your cultivation level."

Qin Yi hummed in agreement, then bid farewell to Mu Wan and left.

Mu Wan returned to her residence.

She looked at the bathtub made of mutton fat jade, the spiritual liquid in which had been changed and a layer of freshly picked spiritual flowers had been laid out.

Mu Wan removed her long dress, took a step forward, and entered the bath.

At that moment, the curtain beside the bathtub was lifted.

"Sister Wan'er, did Qin Yi wash here?"

Wearing a thin, light gauze dress, Liu Yan sat beside the bath, her fingers scattering the spiritual liquid and flower petals as she asked with a smile.

Mu Wan said with a stern face, "The situation was urgent at the time..."

Liu Yan smiled and said, "Sister Wan'er, you don't need to explain, I understand."

"What do you know?" Mu Wan stared at her.

Liu Yan said, "Back then, when Senior Brother Qin left Tianxing Martial Academy and fell in love with Mu Qingmei, Sister Wan'er said that if she couldn't win over Senior Brother Qin, she would win over his son later... Later, Senior Brother Qin did indeed have a son."

"And now, Senior Brother Qin's son has come to Tianxuan Palace."

Mu Wan looked helpless and said, "That was just a joke I made when I was young, how could I take it seriously?"

Liu Yan suddenly stroked Mu Wan's cheek and said, "Sister Wan'er, if you like her, just go for it. We cultivators should follow our hearts. With your figure and beauty, it's just a matter of you snapping your fingers, and that little guy Qin Yi will..."

"How dare you tease me? You'll regret this!" Mu Wan grabbed Liu Yan's hand and pulled her into the bath.

Instantly, water splashed everywhere.

The laughter continued.

…………

Qin Yi returned to his residence.

Yun Meng'er has prepared the wine and dishes.

The two sat in the courtyard, raising their cups to drink together under the moonlight.

"Brother Qin, congratulations!" Yun Meng'er said with a smile.

"Thank you for supporting me, Meng'er!" Qin Yi also raised his glass.

Yun Meng'er said, "Brother Qin, I have no hope of forming a Golden Core, but I will try my best to form a Silver Core!"

Her expression was serious and she was extremely focused.

Qin Yi said, "Meng'er, I have some resources here, you can use them."

After saying that, he took some pills out of his storage ring and handed them to Yun Meng'er.

"Brother Qin, I can't waste your cultivation resources..." Yun Meng'er said hurriedly.

Qin Yi said, "These were all given to me by the Palace Master, and some of them are pills used for forming the Golden Core. I have already formed my Golden Core, so it's obvious that the Palace Master gave them to you specifically. Just accept them."

"Mmm." Yun Meng'er nodded.

tonight.

Sleepless again.
