Chapter 77: 31, The sixteenth child_2



``` "What special traits does it have?" Lin Yue asked curiously. "It won't lead to deviation, it's naturally close to the Water Element, cultivation in Water Element skills yields twice the result with half the effort, and it can also gradually open up a Spirit Vein by attracting Innate Water Essence." Yu Shiqi tilted her head and said, "Anyway, there are many benefits, it's almost comparable to those with a fully open Spirit Vein." Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, then said, "The clothes on this woman's body are those of a Patrol Envoy, she should have been a Patrol Envoy during her life." Yu Shiqi examined the white robe on the female skeleton, her beautiful eyes lighting up when she saw the golden cloud patterns embroidered on the robe, "It really is, why would a Patrol Envoy die here?" "This aura..." She carefully sensed the aura she was emitting, and said in surprise, "The aura of this Patrol Envoy in life contained Dao Rhythm of legal principles, she was probably a Great Cultivator who broke through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier, I estimate she wasn't a Qingming Envoy but a Purple Cloud Envoy, right?" "Purple Cloud Envoy?" Lin Yue showed no surprise whatsoever, instead, he seemed to have expected it. This jade-like beauty being able to perish together with the owner of this Cave Mansion naturally had high cultivation, her identity as a higher-level Purple Cloud Envoy was reasonable. "Can you take up her sword?" Lin Yue asked. At this moment, the rust-covered iron sword was trembling slightly, emitting a series of happy sword cries, clearly mistaking someone for its master. Even though it was being held by the skeleton of its master, it still thought Yu Shiqi was the owner, the spirit of this weapon was indeed a bit dull. "Hmm..." Yu Shiqi tilted her head, examining the rusty iron sword, "This sword has already developed a spirit, it should be a 'True Treasure,' but without a master controlling it, it can at most compete with the weakest cultivator at the Four Symbols Level, it's no threat to me, I can suppress it with one hand, though making it willingly accept a new master might be a bit difficult." Lin Yue reminded, "You are its master now, violence may not be necessary." "Then I need to have it recognize me as its master." Yu Shiqi looked at Lin Yue, "Should I revoke my claim over it when you need to use it?" "It doesn't matter, it was meant for you to use anyway." Lin Yue shook his head nonchalantly. With his current cultivation, even a Magic Treasure would be of little use to him. Besides, the subsequent plan would still require Yu Shiqi to wield this sword. "Then I'll give it a try." Yu Shiqi responded with a sound, immediately extending a jade-white hand to grasp the hilt of the rusty iron sword, slowly pulling it out from the grip of the female skeleton. The sword complied quietly, allowing her to hold it. "Your Highness, am I really going to make it recognize me as its master?" Yu Shiqi turned her head to look at Lin Yue. "Hurry up." Lin Yue said without concern. Yu Shiqi held the iron sword in one hand, while slowly forcing a drop of faintly glowing Essence Blood from her fingertip with the other hand, letting the Essence Blood drop onto the iron sword. However— Just as her Essence Blood was about to touch the sword, the iron sword suddenly started to tremble violently as if realizing something was wrong, continuously emitting sharp and loud sword cries! At the same time, waves of invisible Sword Qi slashed towards Yu Shiqi, instantly tearing numerous slits in her clothing. However, Yu Shiqi's skin seemed extremely tough, allowing the explosions of invisible Sword Qi to merely leave white marks on her skin, without causing injury. "Your Highness, step back!" Yu Shiqi shouted anxiously, grabbing the iron sword with both hands, as her entire body gleamed with light, aura suddenly flaring up, she muttered softly, "I can subdue this sword, I can subdue this sword..." Lin Yue retreated without hesitation, stopping only when he reached the cave entrance at the bend. Fortunately, he had anticipated such a situation, otherwise, with the sword qi outbursts earlier, he might have met his end on the spot. Bringing Yu Shiqi, a powerful Four Symbols Level figure, here was undoubtedly the right call. After a while, Yu Shiqi's voice emerged from the depths of the cave— "Your Highness, I did it." Hearing this, Lin Yue quickly walked into the depths of the cave. Upon seeing Yu Shiqi again, he noticed the iron sword in her hand was now perfectly calm, obediently resting in her grip. Only, the rust covering the iron sword's surface had completely vanished. Though it still looked quite unassuming, lacking the sharpness of many treasure swords, it seemed much improved from before. "Your Highness, I've subdued it." Yu Shiqi twirled the iron sword in her hand, blinking her eyes, she said, "If Your Highness wants it, you can now accept it as your own." "No need." Lin Yue slightly shook his head, saying, "You use it for now, I can't make use of this sword at the moment, we'll talk about it later." He glanced at the female skeleton, "You should take off her Patrol Envoy attire and put it on." "Huh?" Yu Shiqi was taken aback, "You want me to wear her clothes? Your Highness wants me to pose as a Patrol Envoy? But if it's just the outfit..." Lin Yue remained cautious, staying three zhang away as he said, "Check if she has any storage treasures or other items on her remains." "Oh..." Yu Shiqi set the sword aside and began searching the female skeleton, stripping off her clothing in the process. However, aside from the Patrol Envoy's white robe, the other inner garments had turned into tatters. "Found it!" Yu Shiqi discovered a jade ring on the thumb bone of the female skeleton's hand that wasn't holding the sword. "Check it." Lin Yue said. "Okay..." Yu Shiqi picked up the ring and carefully examined it, saying, "This ring is already without an owner, Your Highness just needs to drip blood on it and input Primordial Power to use it." ```
