"Even so, these Magical Artifacts are far too precious, Young Master. Please, take them back. We... we are unworthy of them."
The seven exchanged a glance, and Yang Biao stepped forward to speak.
Although deep down, they were very fond of these Magical Artifacts and desperately wanted to have them.
But these items were indeed too precious for them.
"That's right, Young Master. You should take them back."
The others all chid in.
This included Yang Ying.
This made Yang Xiao frown slightly.
"You are my sworn brothers and disciples of the Yang Family. Are you unwilling to accept re Magical Artifacts? If that's the case, then don't bother practicing the Seven Evils Life and Death Technique either!"
Yang Xiao snapped.
The faces of Yang Ying and the other six instantly flushed red.
"Xiao'Er refined these for your own good. Since this is a gesture of his goodwill, you should just accept them."
Yang Zhentian said, stepping forward.
He could see that his Xiao'Er was genuinely looking out for these sworn brothers.
This made him very gratified.
And these seven adopted sons were all raised by him personally.
Although there had been traitors like Yang Xiong and Yang Lang among them, the ones who remained did so because they valued the kindness and favor he had shown them.
Now, if they accepted the Magical Artifacts from Yang Xiao, they would be as utterly devoted to Yang Xiao in the future as they were to him.
It was only natural for Yang Zhentian to step in and diate.
With him stepping in, and after what Yang Xiao had said, the seven n's resolve was no longer as firm as before.
Ultimately, they felt that Yang Xiao was being too good to them, and they would have no way to repay him in the future.
But on second thought, what Yang Xiao said was right. They were already cultivating the Seven Evils Life and Death Technique. Although this Cultivation Technique didn't seem as wondrous as these Magical Artifacts...
...its effect on them was even greater than that of the Magical Artifacts.
In terms of true value, it definitely surpassed the Magical Artifacts before them.
One was the skill of fishing, the other was the fishing rod.
Both were incomparably precious.
They had already accepted a great favor by receiving the Seven Evils Life and Death Technique, so what reason did they have now to refuse these Magical Artifacts?
They were all people who valued sentint and loyalty.
At this point, they naturally stopped protesting.
Yang Ying was the first to step forward, declaring loudly, "Young Master, you have already shown us imnse grace by teaching us the Seven Evils Life and Death Technique. Now, you give us such Magical Artifacts as well. I, Yang Ying, swear here and now that from this day forward, no matter the reason, I will never betray the Yang Family. If I do, may heaven and earth strike down!"
"I, Yang Biao, also swear: if I ever betray you, may heaven and earth strike down!"
"And I, Yang Shex!"
"Yang Xuan!"
Soon, all seven had sworn the oath.
They had all been personally trained by Yang Zhentian, and their temperants were quite similar to his.
Otherwise, they would never have caught his eye.
As for Yang Xiong and the others like him, one could only say they were too good at hiding their true nature.
That was how they managed to deceive Yang Zhentian.
But the performance of the majority proved that Yang Zhentian's judgnt was sound.
The seven who had died.
The seven before him now.
Which one of them wasn't sentintal and loyal?
Needless to say, even before they swore the oath, it was already impossible for them to betray the Yang Family.
Now that they had sworn the oath...
...it was even more certain they never would.
"Good. Rember your words. However, your perspective is still a bit too narrow. I can give you these Magical Artifacts now, and I will certainly give you even better things in the future. But for those things, I hope you will earn them through your own efforts!"
"Yes, Young Master! We will definitely cultivate diligently."
Yang Ying and the others said earnestly.
"Alright. These seven Magical Artifacts were specially refined for you, each corresponding to your individual attributes. However, for the sake of your future developnt, I refined them all into Sword Artifacts. I hope that from now on, you will all diligently cultivate the Sword Dao."
"Cultivate well. Once your Seven Evils Life and Death Technique reaches the Great Success stage, I will refine a set of Seven Star Extre Evil Swords for you. They will be able to enhance the power of the Evil Qi within your bodies."
Yang Xiao smiled faintly.
He handed the seven Sword Artifacts, including the Wind-Slaying Sword, to the seven n.
"Thank you, Young Master."
Having received their own Magical Artifacts, all seven were exceptionally excited.
One by one, they began testing the power of their respective Magical Artifacts. In their hands, the artifacts couldn't compare to the terrifying power of Yang Zhentian's single strike...
...but each one could unleash an attack on the level of a Martial Grandmaster.
Albeit only for a single blow.
Yet that alone was enough to leave them utterly astounded.
"Alright, all of you, go and perform the blood oath to claim ownership and refine these Magical Artifacts. Yang Ying and Yang Biao, stay behind. I have sothing to say to you."
Yang Xiao then spent so ti teaching them how to use their body's Essence Blood to refine the Magical Artifacts in their hands.
Then he dismissed five of his sworn brothers.
In the entire hall, only five people remained: Yang Zhentian, Yun'Er, Yang Ying, Yang Biao, and Yang Xiao himself.
This was because, in addition to the offensive Magical Artifacts, Yang Xiao had also refined four defensive ones.
These four Defensive Magical Artifacts were even more precious than the offensive ones.
Yang Xiao had been short on materials and had only managed to refine four.
They were four small, uniquely shaped trinkets.
Among them were three pieces of Jade and a small blue pendant. With a single glance, Yun'Er fell in love with the little item.
"What a beautiful jade pendant."
Yun'Er exclaid.
A mont ago, while the dazzling, multicolored Magical Artifacts had moved her heart, she hadn't been too surprised, because she knew the Young Master would surely give her one.
Unlike Yang Ying and the others, Yun'Er had long since placed her entire heart and soul in Yang Xiao's hands.
No matter what happened to Yang Xiao in the future...
...she already considered herself to be his.
Therefore, she would accept anything Yang Xiao gave her.
She wouldn't be like Yang Ying and the others, who didn't dare to accept.
And now, seeing this small blue pendant, she was exceptionally delighted.
Won, no matter what kind of woman they are...
...all love charming little trinkets like this.
"You like it?"
Yang Xiao smiled faintly.
'Of all the people Yang Xiao had ever t, Yun'Er's innate talent was the most powerful. Her latent Water Spirit Body... at first, not even he knew what grade it was. But in the last few days, Yun'Er had broken through to the Innate Realm. Now he could finally judge its quality. Yun'Er's constitution had, stunningly, reached the level of an Ultimate Water Spirit Body. Moreover, even among Ultimate Spirit Bodies, hers was considered top-tier. If she successfully cultivates the Sunflower Water Great Divine Technique I taught her, I even have a way to help her transform into a Water Treasure Body. In the future, she might even cultivate it into a Water Elent Dao Body. If she really succeeds... then in the future, she will surely be a great asset to . She might even have the chance, just like , to vie for the realm of a Dominator. Naturally, Yang Xiao held her in very high regard. Even more so than Yang Ying.'
"Mhm, Young Master, it's so beautiful. I love it."
Yun'Er's unaffected attitude pleased Yang Xiao even more.
He stopped teasing the little maid and handed the pendant to her.
As he did, he said, "This little thing can release a Vajra Armor when you are attacked. Wear it. As long as your opponent is not beyond the Martial Grandmaster Sixth Layer, it can save your life three tis. And these are the sa. Yang Ying, Yang Biao, these two Jades are for you. Take one each."
Compared to Yun'Er, Yang Ying and Yang Biao weren't nearly as carefree.
But seeing the look in Yang Xiao's eyes and recalling what they had said earlier...
...they imdiately fird their resolve and reached out to accept them.
In their hearts, however, their gratitude toward Yang Xiao grew even deeper. They thought, 'In the future, even if soone were to threaten the lives of our closest kin to coerce us... we would never betray him.'
They would rather die.
Than betray.
