Chen Li looked at the sincere expressions of everyone and couldn't help but smile. He never expected that Bai Wugu would want to take on the role of a leader. Such a thing was indeed rare. In this world, some people enjoyed leading others, but he had no interest in such responsibilities. The burden of responsibility was heavy, and the work involved was too tiring.
He immediately thought about refusing. However, Shen Qingyue spoke up for him without hesitation. "Then I'll thank all the seniors on behalf of my brother."
In just a few exchanges, everyone quickly decided that Chen Li would be their leader. Although it hadn't been approved by Chen Li, it was clear he had no opportunity to refuse. Watching this rapid turn of events unfold without being able to interject left Chen Li feeling exasperated.
When did he lose the ability to make his own decisions? For the first time, Chen Li experienced the feeling of Zhao Kuangyin. "Chen the Boss," he thought, "since we've already recovered, why not join the Three Major Forces? It would also make it easier for us to seize opportunities."
One of the younger middle-aged cultivators couldn't help but rub his hands together, his eyes gleaming with excitement. With someone like Chen Li as their leader, they could cause all sorts of trouble.
Observing this scene, Chen Li felt as if he had fallen into a pit. However, one of his strengths was that he could adapt to circumstances. Since the atmosphere had already been built up, he decided to leave any unresolved matters to Shen Qingyue. After all, she had once been a Celestial Empress and should be more than capable of handling management tasks.
With one person's question prompting others to look over with expressions full of joy, Chen Li shook his head at them. "Since you seniors have recognized me as your leader, I must give everyone a little gift."
At this statement, everyone's eyes lit up. What kind of gift? They had just received Chen Li's promise to help refine their weapons and now there was an additional gift on top of that. If they had known it would be like this, they should have acknowledged him as their leader much earlier.
Unaware of everyone's thoughts—otherwise he might have spat blood—Chen Li scanned the crowd before finally looking toward a cliff not far away. They had waited for this moment for quite some time. It seemed that something was hidden within that cliff.
Not wanting to keep them in suspense any longer, Chen Li decided that since there were no Holy Spirit Palace members around to cause trouble, it was perfect for them to go treasure hunting. Since they had encountered it, there was no reason to leave anything behind.
Everyone turned their gaze, filled with confusion and curiosity.
"Chen Li, are you sure?" Xuanjizi was the first to respond, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. It wasn't because of what Chen Li said at that moment, but rather because so many powerful figures had searched this place for treasures before. If there truly were any treasures on that cliff face, they would not have gone unnoticed. After all, the Holy Spirit Palace, Heavenly Dao Sect, and Golden Sun Sect were not to be trifled with. Especially the elder guardian accompanying their group, who clearly was not someone to underestimate. How could they possibly miss any treasures?
Chen Li smiled. "Of course. If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have spent so much time here."
In an instant, the mood among the crowd surged with excitement. Chen Li was their lucky star. Since he said so, there must be a reason behind it. Everyone's eyes sparkled with eager anticipation as many turned their attention toward the cliff.
"Shall we get started?" Yue Shan eagerly followed through on his earlier promise, rubbing his fists together as his Vital Energy began to surge within him, clearly ready to act at any moment. As soon as Chen Li gave the order, he would be off like a shot.
Chen Li glanced at the majority of the cultivators who lacked magical artifacts and said solemnly, "I can't ascertain what kind of treasure it is either. To be safe, let's proceed with caution. Everyone step back; I'll use my spirit sword to break through."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked embarrassed. Their previous possessions had all been taken by those fiends from the Blood Fiend Sect. They were indeed left with nothing but empty hands. With Chen Li's reminder, they felt even more awkward and could only lower their heads and step back a bit.
All eyes were on Chen Li as they wondered what kind of extraordinary artifact he possessed. Just as they were lost in their imaginations, Chen Li stepped forward and slowly drew out a battered Broken Sword.
The rusted Broken Sword looked like something discarded by someone else. Chen Li effortlessly lifted it with his small hand. The reddish-brown rust began to flake off, revealing astonishment in everyone's eyes. Many silently vowed to quickly refine more and seek treasures so they could pool together money to buy Chen Li a high-grade magical artifact in the future.
Unaware of his subordinates' inner thoughts, Chen Li slowly raised the sword while circulating his Vital Energy rapidly, sending it surging into the Broken Sword.
In an instant, the rusted Broken Sword burst forth with brilliant light and shot from Chen Li's hand with a whoosh.
The speed was astonishing, leaving everyone in shock. Moments later, the sword light struck the cliff face. However, the expected commotion did not occur. The Broken Sword came to an abrupt halt upon hitting the cliff, hovering hesitantly at the edge as if it were a child afraid of getting hurt.
The crowd, who had been staring intently at this spot, now found themselves in an awkward silence, glancing at Chen Li. The invisible embarrassment suddenly focused on him. Chen Li's face flushed red, feeling utterly speechless.
Damn it! This sword actually dared to threaten him. It was outrageous.
Others might not know, but he was well aware that this seemingly rusty Broken Sword was quite sentient. Back at Spirit Sword Mountain, despite the many spiritual swords around him ignoring his cries, this particular sword had reacted with excitement, jumping into his arms as if it were seeking attention.
He had no idea what kind of Cultivator its previous owner had been, but he understood the sword's nature all too well. Right now, it was just stalling to negotiate with him, wanting him to provide more medicine!
Chen Li felt a surge of frustration but still communicated with the Broken Sword telepathically. "You better get to work quickly; I'll reward you with two pills."
"Break for me!" His voice rang out again. The previously subdued Broken Sword suddenly surged with energy, plunging fiercely into the cliff.
Everyone stood there dumbfounded. "Is this even possible?!"
