Chapter 146 Ink Blade, Eldest Young Master of the Yan Family Arrives to Congratulate

Seeing this scene, his heart surged with great joy.

If he hadn’t guessed wrong, the Treasured Sword had already begun its initial nurturing.

It chose quite a day to do so, coinciding exactly with the completion of Qin Niu’s new residence.

Had it gained sentience and deliberately chosen this day to present Qin Niu with a congratulatory gift?

Holding the Treasured Sword in hand, there was a new and different kind of feeling compared to before.

In the past, when he held it, it felt extremely comfortable and handy, as if it had been tailor-made for him. Now, holding it felt like holding a ‘living’ creature. It seemed as if it had life and had come alive.

He tried gripping it tightly and raising it.

Shick!

Brilliant, cohesive Blade Qi burst forth from the blade. It seemed to sense its master’s intentions, resonating with his mind.

“Have you evolved sentience?”

Qin Niu looked at the Treasured Sword and asked.

Zing zing~!

It trembled, issuing its sword hum once more.

“That’s wonderful. Since you’ve gained sentience, I’ll grant you a name. When I drew you just now, you sparked with dark green electric light, so I’ll name you Ink Blade. The name isn’t overbearing, but it suits you well. With sharpness concealed and an unremarkable exterior, you actually possess the might to annihilate formidable foes. With time, I believe you’ll become powerful enough to split the heavens and cleave the earth.”

Qin Niu gently caressed the blade, and his touch unexpectedly felt a faint trace of desolate death.

Cold, dark, and full of demonic nature.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that a dark green rune within the blade was already formed. It seemed alive, constantly shifting.

“They say that to claim ownership of a Treasured Sword after nurturing, one must drip fresh blood on it. Let’s give it a try.”

Qin Niu tried cutting his fingertip with the Treasured Sword and dripped fresh blood onto the blade.

As the blood gradually got absorbed by the blade, he could clearly see strands of blood flowing into that dark green rune.

His connection with the Treasured Sword grew increasingly intimate.

He could even sense some of Ink Blade’s thoughts.

It wanted to drink Banyan Tree Blood, a lot of it.

That was the idea it conveyed to its master.

“There’s only so much Banyan Tree Blood we can take each day, with your appetite, I’m afraid we simply couldn’t keep up!”

Qin Niu said helplessly.

The cultivation of the Treasured Sword filled him with joy.

But it was like a greedy child, constantly needing to consume Banyan Tree Blood, which was quite troublesome.

The power of that Ancient Banyan Tree was unfathomably deep.

Qin Niu, taking just a bit of its blood each day, or sitting underneath it to absorb its medicinal essence for cultivation, might still be acceptable to the tree.

But if he truly threatened its safety, he believed it would definitely retaliate.

Even though Qin Niu was now an expert of the Acquired Realm’s first level, he probably wouldn’t have any chance of fighting back against the Ancient Banyan Tree.

Because through energy comparison, the Ancient Banyan Tree was like a vast ocean, while the strength he had cultivated was merely a drop or two of water.

There was no basis for comparison between the two.

Thus, he dared not recklessly take actions that might enrage the Ancient Banyan Tree.

The tree was simply ignoring him for now.

If he truly angered the Ancient Banyan Tree and forced it to eradicate him like a pest, that would truly be courting death.

He had conducted an experiment once.

He tied a chicken under the Ancient Banyan Tree, and when he went back the next day, the cloth band used to bind the chicken was still there, but not a trace of the chicken could be seen.

It was as if it had never existed.

This made him shiver with dread.

If he angered the Ancient Banyan Tree, his death might be even more miserable than that of the chicken.
