"If we want to use this item now, we must find the legendary Splitting Stone to apply it to a Magic Artifact."

"You could say I'm the one who got the better end of this deal."

"I, Jian Wuque, owe you a favor. Here's the Divine Sword Token from the Sword Casting Sect for you. When my sect regains its glory, you can come to me at any time—I'll grant whatever you ask!"

Inside the brocade box was a mysterious shard emitting a faint light.

It was only a corner, resembling a Divine Artifact, radiating a profound brilliance.

It looked, admittedly, a bit like a piece of glass.

But the aura it gave off was somewhat enigmatic.

Wang Mu put away the item and the token, and the young man in black left, overjoyed.

Wang Mu let out a breath.

Good! Now all the materials for the Green Frost Sword were collected! All that remained was to repair it!

He secured these treasures.

By this time, dawn was breaking.

Wang Mu found a spot beneath the Pan Yuan Forest and decided to meditate for a while.

However, not long after, HISS HISS HISS...

A hissing sound arose. Wang Mu opened his eyes and saw a woman with an ugly face, holding a small white snake, watching him from afar.

He was startled.

"Uh... it's you... What brings you here, fellow cultivator?" Wang Mu asked.

What was she doing here at this hour?

"I came to admire your elegance," the woman said, pursing her lips. "You truly displayed your divine power during the day..."

"You flatter me, fellow cultivator," Wang Mu replied.

The woman came over and gave Wang Mu a once-over, saying, "Fellow cultivator, that Jade Pendant of yours is quite nice-looking..."

She was pointing at the Jade Pendant given by Qin Yuyan.

This Jade Pendant enhanced good fortune and had a rather nice design. Wang Mu wore it at his waist.

As for the ever-present Tribulation Jade Pendant, he naturally kept it well hidden.

If it were exposed, there was no guarantee someone wouldn't recognize it.

This Fish Intestine Jade Pendant, on the other hand, didn't really matter.

"Oh, it is quite nice-looking," Wang Mu nodded.

"Fellow cultivator, how about we make another trade?" the woman whispered.

"Go on." Wang Mu's heart skipped a beat.

What was Nanrong Biyou up to now?

"I've taken quite a liking to this Jade Pendant of yours," the woman said. "Would you be willing to trade it to me? I can give you a treasure that will be of great use to you."

"?" Wang Mu was stunned.

This... He couldn't help but recall Qin Yuyan's words...

However, since Nanrong Biyou was offering a treasure in exchange, it didn't seem like she was coveting the item...

Strange... But considering it was a Supreme Treasure given by Brother Qin, and he had only just received it, trading it away so quickly... If Brother Qin found out, would their favorability drop into the negatives?

"This item was given to me by a close friend..." Wang Mu thought it over and said, "Well, it's not convenient to trade it at the moment."

"Oh." The woman glanced at him. "Just don't regret it later..."

"Why do you say that, fellow cultivator?" Wang Mu asked.

"This Jade Pendant..." the woman said, her eyes narrowing into a smile. "It's called the Miss Sword Jade. Carved on it is a pair of Mandarin Duck Fish, and there are two such jades. As long as two people wear them, they will develop a certain fated bond, becoming inseparable. This item is a treasure of the Fengyue Sect, originally used to bind the Spiritual Artifacts of the Sword Sect disciples they captured."

"???" Wang Mu.

"I saw during the day that a male Cultivator gave this to you," the woman said with a graceful smile. "Presumably, he wants to use the Rebirth Mirror tomorrow to reflect both of you, thereby creating a marital bond."

"Your charm is indeed great, fellow cultivator, enough to attract even those of the same sex."

Wang Mu listened, a cold sweat breaking out and streaming down.

What on earth did Brother Qin mean by this?

"Do you still want to wear it?" the woman asked leisurely.

Wang Mu opened his mouth.

Then he suddenly remembered what Qin Yuyan had said during the day... Not to easily believe what others said about this Jade Pendant...

Wait a minute. Could Nanrong Biyou be deliberately saying this...?

Wang Mu felt some hesitation in his heart.

Regardless of whether it's true or false, with the Tribulation Fate Pendant on him, these trinkets shouldn't have any effect, right? Besides, he had already been wearing it for so long.

"Since you're hesitating, let's forget it. I don't like to take what others hold dear," the woman said faintly. "Fellow cultivator, you mustn't forget the promise you made to me seven days ago."

"That secret of the Sword Sect—I guarantee you'll desperately want to know it."

After saying this, the woman treaded on the moonlight and departed, like a phantom, vanishing before his eyes...

"..." Wang Mu.

After a while, the moonlight gradually faded. A streak of dawn's glow spilled from beyond the horizon. Wang Mu looked up; it was daylight.
