"Actually, it's not a big deal, I just hope you two can help me return it to my sect..."

At this time, Chu Tianji took a sword from the wall and handed it over to Qin Fang with a calm tone.

"This is... the Qianyu Divine Sword!"

Qin Fang was slightly taken aback. When he looked at this inconspicuous longsword in its sheath, his scouting skill activated, and his expression became quite strange.

It turned out this sword, decorated to look like an unsharpened ordinary iron sword used for fitness, was actually Chu Tianji's personal weapon, the Qianyu Divine Sword. Pity that he and Song Qingshan both noticed the sword when they walked in, but never imagined that such a precious treasure was hanging here so openly, even covered with dust...

"Indeed... I don't wish to travel the martial world again, nor see anyone from my sect, but I also don't want my old companion to be buried with me!"

Chu Tianji gently caressed the sword that had been with him for nearly forty years, speaking with a touch of sentiment. So many years of companionship, yet now they have to part.

Qin Fang and Song Qingshan exchanged a glance, their expressions rather peculiar, but in the end, they nodded.

"Senior, rest assured, we juniors will definitely return it safely to Mount Kunlun, to the Kunlun disciples!"

Though the Qianyu Divine Sword is extraordinarily precious, Qin Fang already has the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword, so he wouldn't be tempted. And Song Qingshan, who doesn't use a sword, finds the Xuanyin Divine Claw much more precious and suitable for him than the Qianyu Divine Sword!

They got two treasures from Chu Tianji just for agreeing to return this sword to Kunlun, which isn't exactly a difficult task.

The only trouble is that Kunlun's sect gate is really difficult to find. Without a Kunlun disciple or a familiar person to guide them, finding the Kunlun Sect could take a year or two.

"Kunlun's sect gate is at Jade Maiden Peak, you just need to wait there for three to five days, and a Kunlun disciple is sure to appear..."

However, Chu Tianji evidently anticipated this issue long ago, so he had given Qin Fang and them an advance notice.

Otherwise, they might never find it, even if they searched all over Mount Kunlun, let alone search the entire mountain.

"Understood..."

Qin Fang nodded. Since he agreed, he wouldn't go back on his word, and he wasn't about to covet the Qianyu Divine Sword.

Of course, why Chu Tianji trusts them with the Qianyu Divine Sword is something only he himself knows.

In short, now that this matter had essentially reached a conclusion, Chu Tianji directly ushered Qin Fang and them out of the door.

When Qin Fang and Song Qingshan returned, holding something in their hands, though both were contained in boxes, it was clear from their cautious manner that the contents were quite precious.

"Brother Qin, what treasure is this, let me have a look too..."

Wu Jian, with a rather impatient nature, immediately expressed his interest. If Qin Fang weren't there, he might have opened it himself.

"You're not from the martial world, you wouldn't recognize it even if you saw it—it's pointless..."

Qin Fang waved it off, unconcernedly. As he said, even Song Qingshan, someone of the martial world, couldn't recognize the Sacred Fire Order, let alone Wu Jian, a regular person.

"Oh, come on, I'd just like a look..."

The more Qin Fang said this, the more curious Wu Jian became, pleading pitifully, while Bai Bingbing next to him seemed intrigued too.

Though these things were gifts from her father Chu Tianji to Qin Fang and them, Bai Bingbing herself didn't seem to have much impression of them.

"Alright, I'll let you have a look to settle your mind..."

Qin Fang smiled helplessly, opening the brocade box. The people nearby couldn't help but lean in to take a look.

"Just a piece of scrap iron..."

Seeing the Sacred Fire Order, Wu Jian found it unremarkable and muttered listlessly, his enthusiasm waning.

"Hey, why does this look so familiar?"

But Kong Er suddenly muttered in surprise. Though his voice wasn't loud, Qin Fang's keen ears missed nothing.

"Brother Er, have you seen it before?"

Qin Fang immediately reacted, looking at Kong Er with excitement.

"I think I've seen it someplace... but I can't remember!"

Kong Er frowned deeply in thought, but try as he might, he couldn't recall. Nothing about it seemed distinctive enough to make a lasting impression.

That he even found it familiar was already quite good...

"Brother Er, please think it over. This is a treasure. If you recall anything, do let me know immediately..."

Seeing Kong Er's expression, knowing his memory failed him, Qin Fang was equally helpless. The Sacred Fire Order is a precious artifact of the Demon Sect, which they've been ardently seeking, though tracking it down has proven almost impossible.

If Qin Fang hadn't obtained the Sacred Fire Order, while aware of its existence, he wouldn't have paid much attention, considering it almost a mere legend and questioning its realness.

But now having acquired one, naturally, he hopes to collect all six Sacred Fire Orders. The difficulty, however, sounds astronomical—a true ultimate quest.

"Oops, you're such a jinx!"

"Let me think about it; I'll tell you if I remember..."

Kong Er shook his head helplessly, thinking hard but knowing he wouldn't remember right away, planning to recall gradually. He wouldn't overlook the significance Qin Fang placed on this matter.

"Luckily, no quest triggered; otherwise..."

Qin Fang nodded, content not to worry in the absence of new leads, reassuring himself thusly.

"Ding, congratulations on triggering the ultimate quest... Seek the Sacred Fire Orders! (1/6 Acquired)"

Yet, just as Qin Fang mused this, a notification rang in his mind, making him feel like crying.

"You and your jinxed mouth..."

Qin Fang wanted to slap himself. Good omens never seem to come true, while bad ones do. No sooner did he think it, than the quest was upon him—an ultimate quest, as expected.

Though the task seems simple—to find six Sacred Fire Orders—the difficulty far exceeds Qin Fang's previous feats, like becoming the King of Assassins or seizing control of Shiling Group.

Finding the Sacred Fire Orders is nearly as challenging as finding a needle in a haystack, with no clues and such a vast world to search.

"Qin Fang, what's wrong?"

Noticing Qin Fang's odd expression, Kong Er showed concern, cajoling, "Don't worry, brother can handle this matter seriously, won't forget it..."

He assumed Qin was upset about the situation, and promptly assured him by thumping his chest.

"Brother Er, it's not that... I just thought of something else. You try your best; if it's too hard to recall, it's alright. The thing is rather elusive, so finding it isn't crucial."

Having reviewed the details, Qin observed no time limits or severe penalties associated with this ultimate quest, easing his mind.

While an ultimate task, it won't feel burdensome, and though challenging, it's less dangerous—a comparatively light endeavor...(To be continued. If you like this work, please support it on Qidian (qidian.com) by voting and subscribing. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
