Chapter Nineteenth: Long Life Appears in the World

  Xiaoshui changed the cover a bit, isn't it much clearer now?

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  Three thousand eight hundred years ago, the Li Tang dynasty unified the mainland, and its national destiny, which lasted for more than two thousand years, still could not escape the disaster of extinction. The Longsheng Sword, a national treasure passed down by the ancestors of the Li royal family, was said to bring unparalleled wealth and immortality to whoever possessed it, making them invincible in the world.

  Yang Tianwen listened and blinked his eyes, what's this? So it was this all along? I thought it was something extraordinary. Wealth is useless to me, eternal life can be cultivated by myself, invincibility? Invincibility equals loneliness. Yang Tianwen smacked his lips twice and blurted out: "Not interesting. Senior, just say it straight, is the successor of the Li family still alive?"

  The old man looked at Yang Tian with an incredulous expression, and after a long while, he sighed and said: "I've been through wind and rain for decades, but this is the first time I've seen a young brother as carefree as you. For thousands of years, who wouldn't want to get their hands on the Longevity Sword? Unexpectedly, you don't even give it a second thought. Alas... does the Li family still have an heir? I'm not even sure about that. Thirty years ago, the last branch of the Li family had already disappeared without a trace."

  Yang Tianyu was speechless, truly speechless. He couldn't believe it was another false alarm. Yang Tianyu sighed and picked up a few books to take his leave.

  "Wooo~~~" Xiaobai refused to leave, why? Because a 14 or 15-year-old girl walked over from afar, with bright eyes and white teeth, slender and elegant, a beautiful young lady who would surely captivate the city and country when she grew up. Carrying a large basket, she walked over and said: "Grandpa, it's time to eat."

  Yang Tian glanced at Bai Yan with a flip of his eyes and guessed that Xiao Bai had smelled the delicious food and was unwilling to leave.

  "Wow, so cute!" The little girl walked up to the old man selling books and handed over the basket with a smile, only then noticing Yang Tianwen and the small white thing in his hand.

  Xiaobai suddenly jumped into the little girl's arms, making a fuss, and didn't care if it was their first meeting. Yang Tian asked for a moment, stunned on the spot, not knowing how to react.

  "Come on, young fellow, sit down and eat with us, there's plenty of food." The old man intervened in a timely manner.

  "Thank you, I'm not hungry, you guys eat. Little girl, don't feed it too much, this guy is a big glutton." Yang Tianwen reminded, looking at the little girl constantly feeding Xiao Bai things.

  "Didn't ask your little brother." The old bookshop owner asked.

  "Yang Tianwen, this is my partner, Xiao Bai," Yang Tianwen introduced. "I haven't had the chance to ask for your guidance yet..."

  "So it's called Xiao Bai, how cute!" The little girl chimed in, very lively.

  "Hehe~~" The old book seller chuckled twice, his face full of kindness as he said: "Tianji Old Man. This is my granddaughter, Bi'er. Now it's just the two of us relying on each other."

  Tianji Old Man is a master of the highest level in Tianjie for decades, and he is also famous on the mainland. If you don't know him, you are not a Jianghu person. However, Yang Tianwen really didn't know the weight of this Tianji Old Man.

  "Senior Tianji." Yang Tian asked still politely cupped his fists and said.

  "Yang Xiao, are you really going to get involved in the Long Life Sword's affairs? You should know that every time the Long Life Sword appears, it will inevitably stir up a storm of blood and rain on the mainland. With your current cultivation level, I'm afraid you won't be able to protect yourself!" Tian Ji old man sighed.

  Yang Tian asked with a smile, without saying anything. Cultivation? Must one go around talking about it, when the only thing that's visible on the outside is just the tip of an iceberg, and the internal flow of energy isn't worth mentioning?

  It's not just that, think about it, Yang Tianwen's cultivation is actually a genuine ancient Qi Refining Method, with a body of pure and refined Pre-Heavenly Purple Qi, which in terms of quality can even surpass the liquid True Yuan of the True Cultivators!

  "Xiao Bai, it's time for us to go back!" Yang Tian asked, carrying Xiao Bai who had eaten almost enough. He smiled at Bi'er and said: "Bi'er, goodbye."

  Yang Tianwen walked on the road, thinking a lot in his heart, and sighed. For now, it's just like this. Since he couldn't find Li's people, let Li's people come to him. Xiao Bai knew that Yang Tianwen was feeling a bit depressed, so she quietly lay on Yang Tianwen's shoulder without making a sound.

  Back at Tingyu Building, they directly went up to the private room on the fourth floor because Yang Tianwen keenly sensed Yu Qinghong's presence. Upon entering the private room, this guy was drinking wine while fondling a servant girl's thigh, but his eyes were fixed on the singing and dancing below.

  "He's back." Yu Qinghong drove everyone out and said with a serious expression.

  "Uh-huh." Yang Tian nodded and put his sword on the table, then sat down. Although it wasn't as comfortable as a sofa, it was still pretty good.

  "My old man is coming, it's really depressing. If I didn't know you weren't my old man's informant, I'd think you were reporting to him!" Yu Qinghong said with a look of discontent.

  "Why did they come? This is a brothel!" Yang Tian asked in puzzlement, this was a place where men came to seek pleasure, could it be that they were here for that? Yang Tian glanced at the sword on the table.

  "It seems like it's for something very important, something about a long sword or whatever, but Father didn't explain it clearly to me." Yu Qinghong said in confusion.

  "Long Life Sword?" Yang Tian asked, adding.

  "Right, right, it's this one! What's so special about this Longevity Sword?" Yu Qinghong muttered.

  Yang Tian asked with a bitter smile, just talked to the old man Tianji today, didn't expect this news to spread so quickly, probably not just today, should have been out for some time.

  Yang Tianwen is a kind-hearted person, but he is also a man of great integrity. The Longevity Sword must be handed over to the descendants of the Li family, and the troubles it brings are inevitable. "Longevity Sword, it's in my hands."

  "Oh, in your hands, ah, then..." Yu Qinghong didn't react in time, "Huh? In your hands? Where is it? Won't be that one, right?" Yu Qinghong pointed at the black sword on the table.

  "That's it." Yang Tian nodded and said.

  Yu Qinghong calmed down, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light as he stared at Yang Tian, and after a while, slowly opened his mouth to say: "Why do you have to tell me?"

  "Why should this matter be hidden from you?" Yang Tian asked, shrugging his shoulders in response. Indeed, what's the point of hiding it? Although everyone has their own biggest secret, but this sword isn't even yours, why hide it? Speaking frankly won't hurt anyone's feelings.

  Yu Qinghong laughed, laughing very happily and sincerely. But after a while, he suddenly asked: "What's the origin of this sword? Do you need my help with something?"
