I need to hurry up!” Lin Xuan was filled with eagerness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want a Spirit Root!” Lord of Wine shouted at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want a treasure sword!” Lin Xuan, not to be outdone, shouldered his fine steel sword and walked further inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, a faint mist emerged ahead, and from a distance, Lin Xuan felt dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not good, poison!” He quickly backed away, employing the Instant Shadow Step that had now reached Small Success, with absolute efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving a trail of afterimages in his original position, Lin Xuan blinked to a safe area in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advancing deeper was not feasible; it seemed he could only head outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan made up his mind and darted outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The further out he went, the more alarmed Lin Xuan became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he neared the outside, he felt the Spiritual Power inside his body rapidly depleting, which greatly startled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside is dangerous, outside is also dangerous, only the middle is safe; what a lousy place!” Lin Xuan wore a helpless expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to think of a solution for the moment, he could only stay near the stele.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At night, it was pitch-black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan chopped some black trees to use as firewood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t long before he realized he had caused a mishap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From where those trees had been chopped down, a black whirlwind arose, swirling toward Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly made fire was instantly extinguished, and a tremendous suction force crazily tugged at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s body flickered with light, a thin layer of blue Spiritual Power forming a barrier against the whirlwind that lashed like Wild Blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he dug his feet into the ground and resisted with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long before black whirlwinds from all Eight Directions drifted toward Lin Xuan, moving swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this critical moment, a wave of black Spiritual Power surged within him; his body was half covered with dark lotus patterns, and two dark lotus leaves enveloped Lin Xuan, blocking all the black mini whirlwinds from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, all the black wind had disappeared, and the lotus pattern on Lin Xuan’s body vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the Mysterious black Spiritual Power gradually fading inside him, his face became extremely solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, this force had prevented his cultivation, but now it had started to protect him, leaving Lin Xuan somewhat bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Xuanzi, there are quite a few brown stones behind you!” The voice of the Lord of Wine interrupted Lin Xuan’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord of Wine’s condition simply couldn’t provide Lin Xuan with any substantial power, so he couldn’t intervene in scenarios like the one just past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan was aware of this, but it still irked him that the old man always refrained from mentioning the black lotus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around helplessly, only to jump in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven or eight brown stones lay haphazardly on the ground, the largest as big as a grinding stone and the smallest the size of a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So many?” Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They must have been blown over by that strange wind just now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the light from the Spiritual Power on his body, he arranged the stones together and then reignited the firewood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, no black whirlwinds appeared this time, and Lin Xuan began tapping the stones, ready to cut each one open to see what lay inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His palm struck down like a blade, and he sliced the brown stones apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of a whole seven stones, only two items were extracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the Spirit Root Lord of Wine needed, and the other was a dark tile, large as a palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord of Wine was smiling from ear to ear as he pocketed the Spirit Root, while Lin Xuan, with a darkened expression, tucked the black tile into his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about the treasure sword you promised?” Lin Xuan said, pounding on a nearby stele in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half the stele collapsed at once, surprising Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it that fragile?” Lin Xuan muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, Little Xuanzi, since you’ve helped me find the Spirit Root, I’ll give you a sword,” Lord of Wine suddenly declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, you have a treasure sword?” Lin Xuan hopped about in anger, “If you had one, why didn’t you give it to me earlier…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, too impatient!” Lord of Wine said calmly, “It’s already a bit of a stretch to give it to you now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t believe me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give it a try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, a black vortex appeared in front of Lin Xuan, and immediately after, a dark red great sword flew out, landing with a clang as it thrust into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike an ordinary three-foot longsword, this was a great sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade was wide, yet not thick, and the hilt was long enough that Lin Xuan could comfortably grip it with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan looked at the rust-covered dark red great sword, his mouth twitching in spite of itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he liked the look of the great sword, it appeared quite old – many parts were covered in rust spots, clearly an antique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the treasure you’re giving me?” Lin Xuan worried aloud, “It won’t break upon first use, will it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, even if you tried, you’d not be able to break it!” Lord of Wine snorted, “This great sword was originally intended for when you were stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving it to you now is indeed a stretch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan was unconvinced: “What do you mean, a stretch?” He stepped forward and grabbed the hilt of the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comfortable, incredibly comfortable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he held it, Lin Xuan didn’t want to let go; it felt as if he were holding the hand of a goddess, utterly exhilarating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting a bit of effort into it, Lin Xuan prepared to draw the dark red great sword, planning to practice the Thunder Move Sword Technique with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the dark red great sword remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!” Lord of Wine scoffed lightly before adding gloomily, “As I thought, too young…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s young face darkened, he pulled harder, but still, the sword didn’t budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, he exclaimed sharply, then exerted all his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, the dark red great sword slowly rose, gradually leaving the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, why is it so heavy, what’s it made of?” Lin Xuan couldn’t help but curse softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad, being able to lift it with the strength of your muscles alone shows that you’re stronger than I thought,” Lord of Wine teased ruthlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s face was grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he finally understood why Lord of Wine said it was a stretch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He circulated the Longevity Technique, his blue Spiritual Power pulsing out, a surging force poured from within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms finally stopped trembling, but even with the support of his Spiritual Power, the weight felt immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan tried to swing it a couple of times only to find that the Spiritual Power drained incredibly fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan planted the dark red great sword into the ground, standing firmly with the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I say, Drunken Uncle, you’re not purposely messing with me, are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How am I supposed to perform the Thunder Move Sword Technique with this sword?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord of Wine took a sip of fine wine: “You’ll get used to it, and conquering it will bring you unexpected benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think about it, if you can wield such a heavy sword as lightly as a sewing needle, how strong will you become?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan, of course, knew this; he was just grumbling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment he held the great sword, he had fallen in love with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, my path in Martial Arts will be walked together with you!” Lin Xuan whispered, “Your name shall be Red Flame.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infusing his blue Spiritual Power into the sword body, in the next moment, beneath those patches of rust, suddenly, red light shimmered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mysterious Runes became faintly visible, exuding a profound mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>",1474,"2026-06-06T00:46:40.739Z",1,"novelbin.me","66f3bd3537dd07e53230110c96504718622f0e461547911028fd820ce3288209","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-40","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-38",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
