After annihilating the three major families in North Source County, Lu Qing Xuan had been staying in Ling Xi Yue's room for several days.
Now, Lu Qing Xuan finally walked out of Ling Xi Yue's room and was about to return to his own room to cultivate.
However, as he passed a spiritual peak, a familiar system sound echoed.
【Ding! Detected a purple investment family member, host can initiate investment!】
"Hmm, purple investment!?"
Lu Qing Xuan was slightly delighted, then his figure flashed, heading towards the location indicated by the system.
Lu Mansion, on a spiritual peak, a young man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes held a spirit sword in his hand, practicing swordsmanship.
Streams of sword energy raged, the sword's song echoed.
However, the spirit sword in the young man's hand was a broken sword, only the part below the hilt remained.
Although this sword was incomplete, the power it displayed was not weak at all. With a casual swing, the young man could unleash a series of sharp and unmatched sword energy, terrifyingly powerful.
"Not bad, not bad!"
"I never thought this broken sword would have such terrifying power!"
"Such a powerful broken sword, it was treated as scrap metal by that bandit, what a fool!"
"It's a bargain for me now!"
The young man stopped, looked at the broken sword in his hand, and a look of excitement and joy appeared on his face.
The young man's name was Lu Jian Chen, a young swordsmanship prodigy from a collateral branch of the Lu Mansion.
He was originally cultivating in the Heaven Sword Sect, but not long ago, he offended a true disciple with a powerful backing, forcing him to leave the Heaven Sword Sect and return to his family, the Lu Mansion.
Just a few days ago, he took on a family mission to exterminate a band of bandits.
After killing the bandits, he found this broken sword in the storage bag of the bandit leader.
Lu Jian Chen initially thought it was just a damaged ordinary spirit sword.
However, after a closer examination, he was surprised to find that this broken sword could absorb the spiritual essence of other magic treasures.
This scene stunned Lu Jian Chen.
He then took out the magic treasures he no longer needed and fed them to the broken sword.
Only today did he come here to test the power of this broken sword.
But the power displayed by the broken sword just now was in no way inferior to a high-grade Earth Rank spirit sword, even comparable to some ordinary Heaven Rank spirit swords.
How could this not make him happy and excited?
"Could it be that my good fortune has arrived? I've stumbled upon such a bargain!"
Lu Jian Chen stroked the broken sword in his hand, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
He couldn't imagine what terrifying level this broken sword could reach if it absorbed enough spiritual essence from magic treasures.
By then, this broken sword might even be able to unleash the terrifying power of a King Rank magic treasure, or even an Emperor Rank magic treasure!
He looked forward to that day.
However, thinking that he had no more magic treasures to feed it, Lu Jian Chen slightly frowned.
Where could he go to get more magic treasures?
Just as Lu Jian Chen was pondering and frowning.
A figure clad in purple suddenly landed in front of him.
It was Lu Qing Xuan.
Seeing this, Lu Jian Chen was slightly surprised and immediately bowed, "Jian Chen pays his respects to the Prince."
Lu Qing Xuan nodded slightly, then activated True Sight and looked at the other party.
【Name: Lu Jian Chen】
【Cultivation: Dao Foundation Triple Realm】
【Talent: Genius】
【Insight: Superior】
【Talent: Innate Sword Heart (imperfect)】
【Fate: Recently, while completing the mission of exterminating bandits, he obtained a broken top-tier Saint Sword. If he devours enough spiritual essence from magic treasures, he can gain a part of the Saint Dao inheritance from the Saint Sword!】
Seeing Lu Jian Chen's Fate, Lu Qing Xuan exclaimed in his heart, "Good heavens, it seems that the family's fortune power has finally come into play."
Just by exterminating bandits, he could obtain such an opportunity, it was truly a stroke of luck!
It seems that this Lu Jian Chen is also a protagonist template!
【Ding! Investing three high-grade Earth Rank magic treasures can gain two random Heaven Rank cultivation techniques and martial skills!】
【Ding! Investing one low-grade Heaven Rank magic treasure can gain three random Heaven Rank magic treasures!】
【Ding! Investing one Sword Dao crystal can gain 100,000 high-grade spirit stones and one Heaven Rank mid-grade spirit vein!】
Seeing such a generous investment return, Lu Qing Xuan's eyes lit up.
He first sensed the terrifying sword energy that had not yet dissipated in the surrounding area, then glanced at the broken sword in Lu Jian Chen's hand, and said.
"I see that you are troubled, have you encountered any difficulties?"
Hearing this, Lu Jian Chen lowered his head, his eyes rolled around, and he didn't immediately answer Lu Qing Xuan's question.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Jian Chen, with a trial-and-error attitude, rephrased his need for several high-grade magic treasures.
Of course, he wouldn't say that he needed magic treasures because of the broken sword in his hand.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing Xuan didn't hesitate too much, he took out three Earth Rank magic treasures and one low-grade Heaven Rank magic treasure from his body and handed them to Lu Jian Chen.
"These are three Earth Rank magic treasures and one Heaven Rank magic treasure that I have collected, take them."
He then took out a Sword Dao crystal, "This is a Sword Dao crystal I obtained before, take it and study it, see if it can help you comprehend sword intent."
"I hope your swordsmanship can improve further and enhance the reputation of my Lu Mansion!"
Seeing that the Prince didn't hesitate too much and gave him so many treasures, Lu Jian Chen was completely incredulous.
He had initially approached with a trial-and-error attitude, but he didn't expect that the Prince would not only give him magic treasures, but also a rare Sword Dao crystal.
At this moment, Lu Jian Chen felt that it was all a little unreal.
Seeing Lu Jian Chen's shocked expression, Lu Qing Xuan teased, "What, you think it's too little!?"
Lu Jian Chen immediately shook his head, like he was shaking a rattle, and quickly explained, "It's just… the Prince has given… given so much, Jian Chen is just too overwhelmed!"
Lu Qing Xuan smiled and said, "Take them. Although my Lu Mansion is not as good as the Heaven Sword Sect, there are no underhanded schemes in my family. These things are considered a personal gift from me."
"Since the Heaven Sword Sect doesn't recognize a gem, doesn't understand the situation, and selfishly takes your treasures, I hope that one day you can go back to the Heaven Sword Sect and take back what rightfully belongs to you.
Prove to everyone in the Heaven Sword Sect, with your strength, that losing you, this swordsmanship genius, was their most foolish decision!"
Lu Qing Xuan had heard about Lu Jian Chen's sudden departure from the sect and return to the Lu Mansion.
The reason was that while Lu Qing Xuan was out on a sect mission, he accidentally obtained a special treasure, but it was discovered by a true disciple.
That true disciple actually used the backing of the elder behind him and shamelessly forced Lu Jian Chen to hand over the treasure.
Lu Jian Chen, who had no backing, had no choice but to reluctantly hand over the treasure to avoid being maliciously suppressed.
Witnessing this, Lu Jian Chen felt that the sect was so selfish and unreasonable, and he left the Heaven Sword Sect in a fit of anger.
Hearing Lu Qing Xuan's words, Lu Jian Chen felt a warmth in his heart, and he didn't hesitate any longer, reaching out to take the treasures in front of him, bowing deeply, "Thank you for the Prince's generosity!"
Then, he immediately assured, "Jian Chen will definitely return to the Heaven Sword Sect one day. I will let the Heaven Sword Sect know that I am no worse than any true disciple of the Heaven Sword Sect. I will definitely take back what is mine with my own hands!"
Lu Qing Xuan nodded slightly, stretched out his right hand and patted Lu Jian Chen's shoulder, "Cultivate well. I look forward to the day you shine brightly in the path of swordsmanship and become a Supreme Sword Saint!"
After finishing, Lu Qing Xuan turned into a divine rainbow and disappeared.
Looking at Lu Qing Xuan's disappearing figure, Lu Jian Chen could still hear the words "Sword Saint" ringing in his ears.
At this moment, it was as if he had found his firm path, and he muttered, "Prince, you can rest assured, Jian Chen will not disappoint your expectations!"
【Ding! Investment successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining three random Heaven Rank magic treasures, two random Heaven Rank cultivation techniques and martial skills, one Heaven Rank mid-grade spirit vein, 100,000 high-grade spirit stones!】

Lu Qing Xuan, who had already walked far away, saw so many high-level cultivation techniques and martial skills, and he nodded in satisfaction.
With these cultivation techniques and martial skills, it would definitely enhance the foundation of their Lu Mansion.
He then immediately placed these magic treasures, cultivation techniques, and martial skills into different pavilions.
Then, he implanted the mid-grade spirit vein into the entire擎天岛 (Qíng Tiān Dǎo), instantly, the spiritual qi concentration of the entire Lu Mansion increased by several levels.
After completing this, Lu Qing Xuan returned to his room and began to cultivate.
