"Chen Yang, this sword suits you perfectly, incredibly sharp and matches your personality well," Lisa said as she walked.
Chen Yang smiled gently without saying anything.
"You should give the sword a na. A weapon for a strong person can’t just have no na."
Lisa suggested.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang imdiately realized the point.
A good sword, how could it not have a na?
But everyone knows naming has always been his weakness. Suddenly having to na it, where would he have good ideas?
"What’s your weapon called?"
Chen Yang asked Lisa, hoping to find so inspiration from the na of her weapon.
"My weapon?" Lisa paused, then laughed, "I nad it randomly, it’s called Double Cherry!"
"Double Cherry Blade? Very nice, then I’ll simply call mine Stone-Cutting, it slices through stone like mud, very fitting for it," Chen Yang laughed.
"..."
Lisa was speechless.
She initially thought he’d choose a very powerful na, never expecting sothing so random.
If he tested the sword on sothing else, would it be nad differently then?
Tree-Cutting?
Grass-Cutting?
"Why that expression, is Stone-Cutting Sword not imposing enough? Or doesn’t it fit?" Chen Yang didn’t feel any issue with his choice at all, instead feeling very pleased.
Lisa was even more speechless but said nothing further.
The na Stone-Cutting, actually upon careful hearing, is quite alright.
"It’s fine, let’s go with Stone-Cutting," Lisa reluctantly agreed.
"Haha, I think it’s quite good too."
Chen Yang laughed, put away the Stone-Cutting Sword, and stopped inspecting it further.
After that, the two quickly descended the mountain, got into a car, and headed to the county town, finding a restaurant to sit down in.
They hadn’t had a drop of water all day running on the mountain.
"Chen Yang, go ahead and order, you helped a lot, I should treat you," Lisa said with a smile, handing the nu to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang accepted it with a smile, not holding back.
"Alright, then I won’t be shy."
With that, Chen Yang began ordering.
The restaurant’s nu was quite comprehensive, with all kinds of options.
However, Chen Yang didn’t order too much, just so specialties, enough for the two of them.
After ordering, they resud chatting.
"Chen Yang, have you thought about what Director Ma ntioned last ti? Our Secret Bureau is a righteous, official departnt that will provide you a great developnt platform." Lisa said casually, sipping so water.
Hearing this, Chen Yang smiled; he hadn’t disregarded the idea of the Lingnan Secret Bureau.
It’s just that, as always, without absolute understanding or necessity, he still didn’t plan on joining.
"I understand, but I presently really have no intention of joining the agency," Chen Yang replied smiling.
"That’s truly a pity. With your skills, if you joined our Secret Bureau, you’d definitely receive focused nurturing, and our society would beco even more harmonious because of your inclusion," Lisa sighed, feeling regretful.
"Haha, is it really that serious? Without , society wouldn’t be stable?" Chen Yang felt Lisa was exaggerating.
At least for now, he only knew the Blood Butcher Gang caused chaos, and he hadn’t seen cultivators bring any real disharmony to society.
"Not serious at all," Lisa said with a very serious expression, "Chen Yang, you haven’t really understood the cultivation world, so you aren’t aware that beneath our peaceful society, there’s a lot of turmoil."
"Especially in the past two years, many organizations have ford secretly, and the situation is becoming increasingly chaotic, putting significant pressure on our Secret Bureau, requiring more talent to join us."
Lisa explained the situation very seriously, and Chen Yang could sense the gravity of the issue from her expression and tone.
But he really didn’t have the desire to join an agency right now, wanting instead to manage the village stably while also improving his own cultivation.
"It seems I truly don’t know enough about this," Chen Yang said.
"You indeed don’t know enough, but when you have ti to visit the provincial city and understand our headquarters better, you’ll be clear how much hidden turmoil lurks beneath this harmonious social surface." Lisa knew Chen Yang didn’t currently want to join their agency, so she didn’t continue inviting, instead ntioning about visiting the Secret Bureau headquarters.
Coincidentally, Chen Yang was indeed planning such a visit in the next few days.
He was well aware he knew too little about the cultivation world, and understanding it would greatly benefit him.
"Yes, barring any surprises, I’ll make ti to visit the provincial city soon, and maybe then I’ll be inclined to join," Chen Yang replied with a smile.
"Great, I look forward to your arrival."
Hearing this, Lisa smiled, her mood relaxing.
After that, they didn’t discuss the topic much further, talking about more casual matters instead.
When they finished eating, as they left the restaurant and were about to part ways, Lisa ntioned sothing interesting to Chen Yang.
"Oh, Chen Yang, you ntioned you’re planning to head to the provincial city soon, right? I suggest coming before the day after tomorrow," Lisa said with a smile.
Chen Yang wiped his hands and looked at Lisa, "The day after tomorrow? Why? Is there sothing special?"
"The day after tomorrow, there will be a cultivator rare item trade and auction in the provincial city, which can give you a direct understanding of the cultivation world and might offer sothing you need," Lisa explained.
Cultivator auction?
Intriguing, and Chen Yang was indeed interested.
"Okay, I’ll try to get there before the day after tomorrow," Chen Yang agreed.
"Alright, contact then, I’ll be waiting for you in the provincial city."
Lisa smiled and waved before leaving.
Watched Lisa leave, Chen Yang didn’t stay in the county town too long, driving his van back to Liuhu Village.
It was around seven or eight o’clock in the evening when he got ho, just after dark.
The village was still lively at this ti, with lingering tourists wandering about the village’s food street and enjoying themselves.
After returning to the village, Chen Yang paid a bit of attention to the tourist situation in the village.
Once he confird that the incident from the previous day didn’t have much impact, he drove back to the clinic to carefully feel if there were any changes in the surrounding space.
Today, the waterway gate was opened, and the Nine Dragons Playing with Pearl formation was completely activated.
Typically, this change in Feng Shui would create a huge shift, making the spiritual energy in the surrounding space much more abundant.
But upon careful observation, he was sowhat disappointed.
There was so enhancent, but not a lot.
It didn’t align with what Taoist Liu said about a three to four tis increase.
"This at best increased by half, not even doubling, I wonder if Taoist Liu ssed up sowhere?"
Chen Yang frowned slightly, planning to visit the temple opposite the village.
To ask Taoist Liu what exactly was going on.
But before he could leave, he heard soone coming into the house, soon seeing Taoist Liu walking in with Wang Cai.
