Chapter 39 - Subduing the Thunderbolt Sword

Chapter 39 Subduing the Thunderbolt Sword

The Qingping Sword was three feet and six inches long. Its entire body was black, and there were green lotus carvings on the sword.

The Thunderbolt Sword was three feet and eight inches long. The body of the sword was shiny, and the sword was engraved with a golden lion’s fang. It looked very mighty and domineering.

Well, or to put it another way, flashy.

Although it was a tenth-grade immortal sword, it was thrown into the storeroom where no one cared about it. It was piled up with other brooms like firewood.

Finding the dusty Thunderbolt Sword in the corner, An Zhisu picked it up and shook it a few times, then wiped the hilt with a handkerchief before handing it to Ling Yunpo.

“Come, give it a try? If you can successfully refine it, we won’t have to go to the Sword Pool to retrieve the second sword.”

Ling Yunpo took the flying sword and tried to connect the aura. As soon as he touched the sword, he was immediately bounced back.

What followed was a very showy middle-schooler’s voice. “Who wants to refine me? Miscellaneous cultivator! Are you an Immortal? Are you worthy?”

Ling Yunpo: …

“Senior sister,” he said seriously, “I don’t have much experience with sword spirits, but I think we can throw a sword spirit like this back into the Sword Pool and let it go and fence with other flying swords day and night.”

In his mind, he heard the laughter of the Qingping Sword and the furious cursing of Thunderbolt. An Zhisu laughed after hearing this.

“Junior Brother, Thunderbolt is a tenth-grade immortal sword after all. Isn’t it a pity to throw it into the Sword Pool?”

The Thunderbolt Sword heaved a sigh of relief and continued to sneer in his mind. “Pfft, fortunately, this little girl knows her stuff. Unfortunately, she hasn’t even reached the Golden Core realm. As for you, a rude miscellaneous cultivator, you can forget about subduing me even if you can really become an immortal!”

“Alright, Senior Sister.” Ling Yunpo nodded. “Then I’ll take it back and see if I can refine it.”

“Yes, yes,” An Zhisu said with a smile. “Take your time. It doesn’t matter.”

Ling Yunpo returned to the bedroom with the Thunderbolt Sword and placed it on the desk.

“Ah Jing, Qingping, is there any way to train the sword spirit?”

After a long silence, the Kunlun Mirror said, “What do you mean by ‘training’?”

“Training means by making it listen to me obediently.” Ling Yunpo sneered. “Like throwing it into the manure pit in the dry toilet?”

“You’re inhuman!” Qingping Sword cried in disbelief.

As a tenth-stage immortal sword, there was naturally no need to worry about a mere Qi Refinement realm disciple causing any physical damage to it. However, being thrown into a manure pit… was not very lethal but was extremely insulting. The Thunderbolt Sword would probably rather destroy its sword spirit than keep such memories.

“May I be so bold as to ask, Sword Master?” The Qingping Sword asked carefully. “If we were to throw it into that defile, even if we were to use it to force it to submit, we wouldn’t be able to use it in the future, would we? After all, it’s already such a smelly sword…”

“It doesn’t matter,” Ling Yunpo said leisurely. “Just wash it. In any case, the flying sword doesn’t need to be held in your hand to be used. Even if it stinks, it will only stink others. I don’t mind.”

Qingping Sword: …

It wanted to say, “But I mind,” but it knew that this cold Sword Master would definitely not care about its senses.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, the Qingping Sword tried to please him again. “Do you want me to try, Lord Sword Master?”

“You?” Ling Yun said lazily. “How do you want to try?”

During his training with Lin Duanshan, he knew that this Qingping Sword was not an ordinary immortal sword-he had to take the initiative to extract its value.

“I can convince it,” Qing Ping Sword said obsequiously.

“How do you convince—” Ling Yunpo broke off, then asked warily, “Wait, it’s not a honey trap, is it?!”

“Look at what you’re saying, Sword Master.” The Qingping Sword laughed coquettishly. “To us sword spirits, there’s only the gender that we consider ourselves to be, but there’s no such thing as a natural gender. How can there be a honey trap?

“Besides, since I serve the Sword Master, I will be the Sword Master’s immortal sword for life. How can I welcome another sword…”

“Alright, alright.” Ling Yunpo also felt that he seemed to be thinking too much and was forcefully asking for it. “Then I’ll leave it to you, Qingping. Don’t disappoint me.” He also placed the Qingping Sword on the desk and slowly walked out the door.

“Hmph, mortal iron, what are you trying to do?” The Thunderbolt Sword lying on the table asked arrogantly.

In the next second, an extremely terrifying aura rose from the Qingping Sword beside it.

Ling Yunpo had nothing to do, so he walked around the top of the Green Spiral Peak for a while.

The Mount Shu peaks were located in the Divine Territory. They were beautiful. Although the scenery was not as beautiful as the Kunlun snow peaks, it had a unique taste. The trees, vines, flowers, mountain streams, birds, and insects were all full of life.

By the stream behind the temple, Ling Yunpo saw two lines of poetry carved on a stone wall beside him: As time passed, this hatred would last forever.

Ling Yunpo: ?

Judging from the handwriting, it didn’t look like Senior Sister An.

However, it was said that his cheap master, Su Jian, the Perfected Seven Kills, had been obsessed with the Sword Dao his entire life. It was unlikely that he would have such lingering emotions.

Well, I wonder which senior left it.

After walking around outside, Ling Yunpo returned to the room and saw the two tenth-grade immortal swords still lying quietly on the table.

Ling Yun raised the Qingping Sword and picked up the Thunderbolt Sword, colluding his aura.

The Thunderbolt sword did not resist at all, leaving him slightly puzzled.

So he tried to communicate with it.

“Thunderbolt, you—”.

“Ah! I’m here,” the Thunderbolt Sword said obsequiously. “Sword Master, what can I do for you?”

Ling Yunpo: ???

He wanted to show a black question mark expression, but considering that there was no audience around him, he asked patiently again, “What did Qingping tell you?”

“Lord Sword Master,” Thunderbolt said respectfully, “Her Majesty taught me many things. For example, a good bird chooses a tree to perch on, and a bright sword chooses its master. Or a sword can have pride, but not arrogance…”

“Stop,” Ling Yunpo shouted, interrupting its nagging. “What the hell is Her Majesty?”

“Her Majesty Qingping thinks she’s the Queen of Swords, so I call her Her Majesty.” The Thunderbolt Sword chuckled.

“What’s your gender, then?”

“I don’t have a gender for the time being,” the Thunderbolt Sword said quickly. “If the Sword Master likes women, then I will be a beautiful woman. If the Sword Master likes men, then I will be a beautiful pederast. My voice can also correspond to the different characters…”

“Stop, stop, stop!” Ling Yunpo scold angrily. “What do you mean by liking men? From today onwards, speak with the voice of a little loli!”

“Lord Sword Master, this little loli is…”

“A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.”

“As you command.” The Thunderbolt Sword began to pronounce, its voice gradually becoming sharp and brittle. “Uh, oh, ah!”

In the end, it successfully changed to a silver bell-like, slightly milky girlish voice.

“Sword Master – Is this good?”

“Hmph, that’s fine,” Ling Yunpo said coldly.

He carried Qingping and Thunderbolt on his back. He walked out of his room calmly and turned to Senior Sister An’s door. He knocked.

“Senior Sister An,” he said in a deep voice, a smile in his tone. “I’ve already subdued the Thunderbolt Sword!”

“Really?” An Zhisu heard the voice and quickly came to open the door for him. When she saw the Thunderbolt Sword in his hand, she asked in surprise, “How did you subdue it?!

“Of course it’s by my virtue!” Ling Yunpo said sternly.
