My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Chapter 308: Is the Xuanyuan Sword a fake?

Li Lin shook his head upon hearing this. "There is indeed such a master, but he did not improve the ancient formation. Instead, in order to use the formation normally, he deleted some functions and modified it into a low-profile version of the formation."

"In this way, although the formation can be used normally, its effectiveness is greatly weakened. Take the Qingyun Temple's spirit gathering formation as an example. It is only 10% as effective as the ancient spirit gathering formation at most!"

When Jiang Li heard this, he realized that the effect of this ancient formation was ten times stronger than the current formation. He immediately swallowed his saliva and showed a very envious expression.

The spiritual energy is already thin nowadays, and even if the spirit gathering array can gather some, it is still extremely limited. The spiritual energy in ancient times was many times denser.

After setting up the formation, it will be ten times stronger. How fun it will be to practice there. It’s exciting just to think about it. It’s a pity that he traveled through the wrong time, otherwise he might really be able to become an immortal.

However, when he thought about being able to fight the Japanese in two years, he became more open-minded. Although becoming an immortal would be great, being able to kill the Japanese was also good. At least he could be included in the family tree.

In a sense, it can be considered immortality.

Seeing that Jiang Li was obviously thinking again, Li Lin and Zhang Qingxuan did not disturb him and just waited quietly by the side.

It took Jiang Li a while to collect his confused thoughts, and when he saw so many people waiting for him, he laughed awkwardly and said sorry.

When Jiang Li came back to his senses, Zhang Qingxuan was hesitant again. Seeing his expression, Jiang Li immediately asked him, "Master Zhang, if you have something to say, just say it directly. I am not the kind of petty person!"

Zhang Qingxuan stopped worrying after hearing this and immediately clasped his fists towards Jiang Li. "I heard that Commander Jiang got the Xuanyuan Sword. Is this true?"

Hearing what he said, Jiang Li did not hide it. He wanted to be the emperor anyway, and it was only a matter of time before the Xuan-Yuan Sword was exposed, which was why he had not publicized it before.

It's just that right now, everyone in China is fighting fiercely and no one is willing to give in to the other. He doesn't want to take out the Xuanyuan Sword and then be targeted by everyone.

As for telling Zhang Qingxuan and Li Lin now, he has no psychological burden at all. After all, these two people are masters of Taoism, and they don't think they will publicize it.

As for Partridge Whistle, he is just a tomb robber on the surface. The credibility of his words is basically zero and no one will believe him at all.

Even if they leaked it, as long as he didn't admit it, it would be fine. No one would offend a big warlord like Jiang Li because of a rumor that they didn't know whether it was true or not.

After thinking this through, Jiang Li directly took out the Xuanyuan Sword from the storage ring.

The moment the Xuan-Yuan Sword was taken out, the unprepared Li Lin and Zhang Qingxuan fell to their knees.

They literally knelt down. When they saw the Xuan-Yuan Sword, they immediately felt a terrifying pressure coming over them.

Then the two men's legs bent uncontrollably, and their bodies became shorter.

Jiang Li saw the two old men kneeling down and immediately put away the Xuanyuan Sword. The two men were already sweating and panting, but they did not stand up. Instead, they sat cross-legged on the ground.

After taking a few breaths, they actually said to Jiang Li, "Commander Jiang, please take out the Xuanyuan Sword for us to see. We are really curious about this ancient sword!"

Jiang Li saw their serious expressions and although he felt reluctant, he still did as they asked.

"Attention, seniors!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Xuan-Yuan Sword appeared in front of the two again, and the two felt the strong sense of oppression again. They used their magic power to endure the discomfort and carefully observed the Xuan-Yuan Sword.

Seeing them looking at the Xuanyuan Sword carefully, Jiang Li took the initiative to cooperate with the two of them and showed them both the front and back of the Xuanyuan.

Only after seeing the two men's faces flushed and then turned slightly blue did Jiang Li put the Xuan-Yuan Sword away again.

As the Xuan-Yuan Sword was taken back, the two old men collapsed to the ground, just like the young man Zhang Zhiwei, but not exactly the same, because one of them was lying on the ground prone, while the other two were lying on their backs.

He turned his head and saw the embarrassed look of the old Taoist priest who was alone in his command. He chuckled, kept it in mind, and ignored him.

Instead, he stepped forward and helped the two of them up, and asked them softly with some evil humor, "I wonder if the two seniors have noticed anything unusual?"

However, to his surprise, after the two stood up, they said in unison: "This Xuanyuan Sword is a bit strange, it doesn't seem to be the original one!"

Hearing this, Jiang Li was shocked, and then asked hurriedly, "How is this possible? If this Xuanyuan Sword is a fake, how can it have such a strong aura and make you two elders so embarrassed?"

The two looked at each other after hearing this, and then Li Lin began to explain, "We don't mean to say that this sword is fake, it's just a little weird."

"It is said that the Xuanyuan Sword was forged by the gods using copper from Shou Mountain."

"So the sword has a very strong divinity, but when we looked closely just now, we didn't find even a trace of divinity."

Jiang Li frowned and remained silent when he heard this, waiting for his next words.

Seeing Jiang Li's expression, Li Lin did not stop and continued to talk, "In addition, it is said that when the Xuanyuan Sword was first refined, the sword had a shape but no spirit."

"The Yellow Emperor then found the five-colored divine stone left by Nuwa when she repaired the sky, and injected the spiritual power of the stone into the Xuanyuan Sword. From then on, a powerful sword spirit was born in the Xuanyuan Sword!"

"We just investigated and did not find the existence of the sword spirit. I wonder if Commander Jiang discovered the existence of the sword spirit when he received the divine sword?"

When Jiang Li heard the two questions raised by Li Lin, he immediately started thinking. He had never discovered before that this sword had any magical power or the existence of a sword spirit.

"Could it be that this Xuanyuan Sword is really a fake?"

Jiang Li secretly doubted in his heart, but then he thought of another question.

"That's not right. If this Xuanyuan Sword is not genuine, then why can it gather the destiny of China? This doesn't make sense at all."

Li Lin and Zhang Qingxuan were equally puzzled, but they had no clue either, so they could only shake their heads, "Maybe there is something else going on here, something that we don't know about."

"But Commander Jiang, don't worry too much. The Xuanyuan Sword is so powerful, so it shouldn't be that bad!"

Jiang Li stopped worrying after hearing this and said to them with a smile: "What the two seniors said is right. I am too stubborn."

Just when Jiang Li was about to ask them about some matters concerning cultivation, someone from the secretarial office came and found Jiang Li. After whispering a few words in his ear, they turned around and left.
