Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

Although he was not a master weapon refiner, he could clearly feel the terrifying pressure and exquisite craftsmanship of the "Mysterious Ice" sword.

This is far superior to ordinary high-grade magic artifacts!

The look in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yuan was no longer just admiration, but also a hint of awe—Lin Yuan's skill in weapon crafting, which could casually forge such a divine weapon, had probably far exceeded their previous expectations.

Despite Gong Yi's enthusiastic reaction, Lin Yuan remained calm on the surface.

"If you like it, that's good." Lin Yuan replied casually.

Just then, Lin Yuan seemed to catch something out of the corner of his eye.

But he remained expressionless.

He looked at Gong Yi and said slowly, "Young master, why don't you try your sword?"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on a large tree outside the window.

Gong Yi immediately understood upon hearing this.

The hand gripping the sword tightened, the blade freezing the air with every step the wielder took forward, and then...

When the sword is drawn, the ice and frost shatter.

It gleamed in the sunlight.

A moment later, the ice shards hit the ground with a crisp, clean sound.

Meanwhile, the large, lush tree outside the window that once reached straight to the sky—

The moment the Xuanbing sword energy touched the tree, the tree was instantly covered with solid ice.

Immediately afterwards, as if the ice were strangling, the towering tree turned into shattered spiritual light.

However, Gong Yi and Gong Li had no time to sigh at this moment.

In that brief moment, they saw someone dodge away at lightning speed.

Judging from his starting and ending points, it's not hard to guess that he was hiding behind the tree.

"Who!" Gong Yi pointed his longsword at the other party, his expression solemn.

Seeing that the man still had his back turned, he immediately prepared to swing his sword.

"Wait a minute." At this moment, Lin Yuan raised his hand to stop Gong Yi.

Upon hearing this, both Gong Yi and Gong Li cast questioning glances at Lin Yuan.

"Young master, don't you think this back view looks somewhat familiar?" Lin Yuan then chuckled.

"Familiar?" Gong Yi sheathed his sword, rested his chin on his hand, and frowned as he stared at the figure outside the window.

Now that you mention it, it's actually true...

"Gongsun..." Before Gong Yi could finish speaking, Gongsun Yan had already turned around and was facing them.

A delicate face, with a striking bright red mark at the corner of her mouth.

Under the gaze of Lin Yuan and the other two, Gongsun Yan raised his hand and gently wiped the corner of his mouth.

Then, with the smile he usually wore in public, he darted into the room.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Gong Yi, Fellow Daoist Gong Li," Gongsun Yan greeted the three.

Lin Yuan looked at Gongsun Yan, whose face was pale, but a smile still lingered on his lips.

"Fellow Daoist Gongsun, if you are interested in my little courtyard, please feel free to look around. Why hide it behind the tree?" Lin Yuan had long, narrow eyebrows, and a hint of sharpness in them, giving him an air of authority without anger.

"Fellow Daoist Lin," Gongsun Yan looked up at Lin Yuan. Speaking of which, he had dealt with Lin Yuan many times. Every time, he thought he had figured out Lin Yuan's background, but the next time they met, Lin Yuan would always bring him new surprises.

For example, the high-grade magic artifact that Lin Yuan took out of his storage bag not long ago.

For example, he hid behind a tree using the Gongsun Immortal Clan's unique concealment formation, but was discovered by the other party.

He couldn't be wrong; Lin Yuan's gesture just now was definitely not unintentional.

At the end of Gongsun Yan's line of sight, first came Lin Yuan's seemingly calm and collected face, then his imposing gaze.

For some reason, his heart trembled slightly.

This is really inappropriate.

He tried his best to calm himself down, his smile widening, and then said, "You've misunderstood me."

"Fellow Daoist Gongsun, all three of us saw you hiding behind the tree. How can there be any misunderstanding?" Upon hearing this, Gong Yi immediately raised his sword slightly and retorted.
