I was selling peach wood swords on a live stream, how did I become a Taoist ancestor?

in the room.

Li Jun reached out and grasped the sword hilt.

The sword trembled slightly, emanating a sense of joy.

"Good boy, let me try the Artifact Control Technique."

Li Jun placed the Demon-Suppressing Sword on the desk and then took a few steps back.

He closed his eyes, began to circulate his inner energy, and concentrated his mind, trying to establish a connection with the Demon-Suppressing Sword.

The process was much smoother than with a carving knife.

Almost as soon as he had the thought, the Demon-Suppressing Sword reacted.

The sword vibrated slightly, emitting a soft buzzing sound.

then……

Before Li Jun could even exert any force, it floated up on its own!

It's suspended in mid-air, about a foot above the table!

Li Jun: "???"

What's going on?!

He hasn't even started controlling it yet!!!

"go back."

Li Jun issued the command using his mind.

The Demon-Suppressing Sword obediently returned to the desktop.

"stand up."

The sword floated up again.

"Spin around."

The sword spun in the air.

"Somersault".

The sword somersaulted in the air.

Li Jun fell silent.

This object manipulation technique... I feel no sense of accomplishment at all!

The Demon-Suppressing Sword was like a lapdog; before he even exerted any force, the sword cooperated perfectly on its own.

How can we see progress if this is the case?

Li Jun reluctantly put the sword back on the table.

"Never mind, let's take a break first."

He rubbed his aching temples and picked up his phone to watch some videos to relax.

As soon as I unlocked the screen, a notification popped up.

[Golden light shot into the sky over Longhu Mountain last night, illuminating dozens of miles! Netizens exclaimed: Is a treasure being unearthed?!]

Li Jun paused for a moment, then clicked on it.

The video is a blurry night scene.

The pitch-black night sky was suddenly torn apart by a golden light!

The golden light, thick as a pillar, shot into the sky from the mountains and forests, illuminating the surrounding area for dozens of miles as bright as day.

Immediately afterwards, the golden light transformed into a rainbow, stretching across the sky and disappearing into the mountains and forests.

The comments section has exploded.

"Holy crap! What is that? Special effects?"

"It's definitely not special effects! I was near Longhu Mountain, I saw it with my own eyes! That golden light hurt my eyes!"

"Could it be that some treasure has appeared in Longhu Mountain?"

"Absolutely! The revival of spiritual energy is confirmed!"

"..."

Li Jun was deeply moved after watching the video.

He knew the spiritual revival was real.

But this was the first time I had ever witnessed a phenomenon of this scale.

"The Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain... is indeed impressive."

He couldn't help but sigh.

A major sect with a history spanning thousands of years, possessing profound cultural heritage, is indeed far superior to a small sect like Qingfeng Temple.

……

at the same time.

Just as Li Jun was feeling sentimental.

The underground conference room of the South City Night Watchmen branch.

The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Master Zhang Yunpu's face was flushed, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing as he argued excitedly with President Qin.

"Qin Chengzhong! How can you claim that last night's events were the work of the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain?!"

His voice was so loud that it made the glass in the conference room vibrate.

"How could my Celestial Master's Mansion claim credit for Master Li's work?!"

President Qin stood opposite him, a look of helplessness on his face.

"Master Zhang, please calm down and let me explain."

"Explain what?" Zhang Yunpu glared. "That peach wood sword was a gift from Master Li, and the divine power last night was also Master Li's doing. What does it have to do with my Longhu Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion?"

"You're right," President Qin said with a wry smile, "but the commotion last night was too great. Every supernatural organization in every country on Earth with any capability detected it."

He paused, then pointed to a thick stack of documents on the table.

"From 3 a.m. to now, in just six hours, we have received official letters from 17 countries and private inquiries from more than 30 organizations."

"Everyone is subtly trying to find out what that golden light is."

Zhang Yunpu fell silent upon hearing this.

He certainly knew how much commotion there was last night.

But that's not Longhu Mountain's skill.

It's Master Li.

After organizing his thoughts, President Qin continued, "The existence of Master Zhang and Master Li is currently top secret and must not be revealed."

"Therefore, we must find a reasonable explanation to deal with inquiries from various countries."

"And the Celestial Master's Mansion is the most suitable choice."

"You think about it, the Celestial Master's Mansion has a thousand-year history and profound cultural heritage, so it's perfectly reasonable for them to make a big fuss."

After hearing this, Master Zhang Yunpu's face turned even redder.

"But...but that's Master Li's method!"

"What merit or ability does our Celestial Master's Mansion possess to dare claim such a credit?"

He shook his head repeatedly: "No, absolutely not! If there were any karmic consequences, neither I nor the Celestial Master's Mansion could bear the responsibility!"

President Qin sighed.

"Master Zhang, I understand your concerns."

"But think about it, if it were Master Li who did it, what consequences would that have? What would other countries think?"

"Will Master Li still have a peaceful life then?"

"You should know that Master Li's existence is now our Great Xia's biggest trump card."

"This card should not be revealed easily."

"Therefore, we desperately need a reasonable explanation to address the inquiries from various countries."

Zhang Yunpu frowned: "That's still not allowed..."

"Master Zhang." President Qin suddenly interrupted him, his expression serious.

"Have you seriously considered what other countries would do if they knew that Great Xia had a Daoist Master Li?"

Zhang Yunpu was taken aback.

"They will be fearful, vigilant, and will do anything to find out about Master Li, and may even... unite to put pressure on him."

President Qin's voice was heavy: "We are not ready yet."

"The spiritual energy revival has only lasted for over twenty years. Although we are ahead of the curve, the advantages we have accumulated are not yet significant enough."

"Once attacked by a group, we will be in a very passive position."

Zhang Yunpu fell silent again.

He understood what President Qin meant.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

If someone like Master Li were exposed, the chain reaction it would trigger would be unimaginable.

Furthermore, we also need to consider the situation on Master Li's side.

"But..." Zhang Yunpu still hesitated, "This credit..."

"The credit will always go to Master Li," President Qin said earnestly. "We only say this to outsiders; everyone inside knows the truth."

"and……"

He paused, then added, "This is also a form of protection."

"Let the world focus its attention on Longhu Mountain, not Luxian County, not Qingfeng Temple."

After listening, Zhang Yunpu let out a long sigh.

He certainly understood these principles.

only……

"I, Zhang Yunpu, have spent my entire life cultivating myself, and I have never done anything like this—claiming credit for others' work." Zhang Yunpu's voice was bitter.

President Qin stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Master Zhang, this is not fraudulent claiming, it's a strategic move."

"For Master Li, for the Great Xia Dynasty, and for... the future."

Zhang Yunpu closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke.

"I can agree."

"But I have one condition."

"Please speak."

"Today, I'm going up the mountain to tell Master Li the whole story," Zhang Yunpu said, opening his eyes with a determined look. "Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

Upon hearing this, President Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's how it should be."

He turned to look at the other people in the conference room.

Lan Cailing, Xuanming Daoren, Liu Zhenguo, Chen Jianguo, Jin Hao...

Everyone is here.

"Everyone, are you all ready?"

Everyone nodded.

"Alright." President Qin said in a deep voice, "Let's go, to Lu County."
