Chapter 1353: Gift “Sister, what happened?” Beiming Ao closed the door and could not help but ask, “Where’s Nangong Yu and the others?” “They’re gone.” Beiming Xue replied ambiguously. If she were to tell the truth, it would be difficult to hide Su Zimo’s identity. She was smart and was extremely cautious. She knew that Su Zimo’s identity was sensitive and could not reveal it casually, even if this was her younger brother! “Gone?” Beiming Ao was puzzled. Beiming Xue changed the topic and asked, “Little brother, the aristocratic family competition is about to begin. What’s your weapon?” Beiming Ao was delighted when he heard that and took out a flying sword from his storage bag. It was etched with three spirit patterns—it was a superior-grade spirit weapon. “Sister, look!” He said smugly, “This was given to me by the old clan leader! There aren’t many superior-grade spirit weapons in the entire Beiming Town!” The foundation of the Beiming clan had long been snatched away by the three aristocratic families. Even the many cultivation techniques and secret manuals of the Beiming clan were snatched away by the three aristocratic families and their legacy was lost, let alone spirit weapons and Dharmic weapons. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂 “A superior-grade spirit weapon, that’s not bad,” Beiming Xue nodded. “However, you will still be disadvantaged if you face Golden Cores of the three aristocratic families in the aristocratic family competition.” Golden Cores of the three aristocratic families would at least possess a supreme-grade spirit weapon if they could take part in the aristocratic family competition. It was normal for some peerless geniuses or monster incarnates that were groomed by their families to possess perfect or connate spirit weapons! For example, Dongfang Zhi who destroyed Beiming Xue’s Golden Core possessed two connate spirit weapons. One of the connate spirit weapons even belonged to the Beiming aristocratic family! “It’s fine!” Beiming Ao gripped his fists gently. “I have a Golden Core phenomenon. Even if I lose in terms of weapons, I’ll definitely be able to obtain a good ranking!” “This time round, the old clan leader told me that if I can get into the top 100, he will raise a request to the three aristocratic families to permit me to leave Beiming Town and explore outside.” “Once I leave the territory of the three aristocratic families, the skies will be the limit! Who knows, I might encounter some opportunity and soar immensely!” “Sister, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take you with me when that time comes!” Beiming Xue felt her heart warm up and nodded. “Thank you for your concern, little brother.” She looked at Su Zimo and hesitated slightly. However, she still took out a flying sword and a silver inner armor from her storage bag and handed them over. Beiming Xue said, “Little brother, take these two spirit weapons. They will increase your chances at the aristocratic family competition.” Beiming Ao did not think too much about it and took them over, asking casually, “Sister, where did you get your hands on these spirit weapons?” After sweeping his gaze, Beiming Ao’s expression changed slightly. He could clearly see that there were five spirit patterns etched on the flying sword! “Could it be…” He could not believe it and channeled spirit energy into it. Whoosh! The sword buzzed and trembled, shining brightly in a bedazzling manner! “A perfect-grade spirit weapon!” Beiming Ao exclaimed. His spirit energy entered the silver inner armor as well. Whoosh! A silver barrier burst forth from the inner armor and shone with five spirit lights! It was also a perfect-grade spirit weapon! This shocked Beiming Ao. “Sister, t-this…” He could not even speak coherently anymore. After all, he had not even touched a supreme-grade spirit weapon up till this point of his cultivation! He was overjoyed when the Beiming clan leader gave him a superior-grade spirit weapon. One could imagine the impact of seeing two perfect-grade spirit weapons right now. Beiming Xue was worried that Su Zimo would not agree to it. Therefore, she was a little hesitant. However, she still loved her younger brother in her heart. Worried that Beiming Ao might encounter danger at the aristocratic family competition, she took out two of the three perfect Dharmic weapons given to her by Nangong Ling and the other two. However, right from the beginning, Su Zimo did not express anything and sat quietly at the side with closed eyes, seemingly unconcerned. “Little brother, don’t ask me about these two spirit weapons. I can’t tell you,” Beiming Xue could see Beiming Ao’s confusion and shook her head. Although Beiming Ao was curious, he controlled himself. The only thing he knew was that his sister would not harm him! Putting away the two perfect spirit weapons, Beiming Ao looked at Su Zimo instinctively and could not help but extend his leg to kick the seat beneath Su Zimo. “Hey, why are you still here? How many years has it been?” He snapped. Beiming Xue’s expression changed as she berated sternly, “Little brother, don’t be rude!” “Sister, I didn’t say anything much. I…” Beiming Ao murmured softly but was interrupted by Beiming Xue before he could finish. “Little brother, apologize to Mr. Su!” She had a stern expression as she said slowly with a firm tone that was unquestionable! Beiming Ao had never seen his sister so stern. Although he was indignant, he was a little afraid as well and cupped his fists at Su Zimo reluctantly. “Mr. Su, I’m sorry.” Su Zimo had a calm expression and did not open his eyes the entire time, seemingly asleep. What was his identity? He would not hold it against Beiming Ao for such things. Beiming Ao pouted his lips and looked at Su Zimo with even more disdain. However, due to Beiming Xue, he retracted some sarcastic remarks he was about to make. Beiming Xue waved her hand. “Alright, continue cultivating in the Ancestral Hall. Don’t expose your perfect-grade spirit weapons for now.” “Don’t worry, sister,” Beiming Ao nodded and turned to leave without lingering. “Master, will you blame me for giving away the two spirit weapons to my little brother?” Beiming Xue pondered for a long time and whispered uneasily. Su Zimo opened his eyes and smiled, shaking his head. “It’s nothing much. It’s just two perfect-grade spirit weapons. They’re not incredible treasures either.” His Essence Spirit was locked and he could not open his storage bag. Otherwise, any treasure he took out would far surpass a perfect-grade spirit weapon! Earlier on, Su Zimo was also considering what gift he should give Beiming Xue. Right now, he was not at the same level as Die Yue where he could give out universal treasures as gifts or alter one’s fate! However, Beiming Xue was his eldest disciple after all and he could not give her something too cheap. After a moment of silence, Su Zimo removed a string of Buddha Beads on his left wrist and handed them to Beiming Xue, saying indifferently, “I’ve worn these Buddha Beads for many years. Today, I’ll give them to you.” “Thank you, master.” Beiming Xue received the Buddha Beads and examined them carefully but could not make out anything. There were no spirit patterns on the Buddha Beads and there were no spirit qi fluctuations—they looked extremely old. Beiming Xue did not think too much about it and wore the Buddha Beads on her wrist casually. At that moment, she did not realize at all that the string of Buddha Beads was the foundational treasure of a super sect in the cultivation world—the Mingwang Prayer Beads! Even Conjoint Body Mighty Figures would be tempted to fight to the death for those Buddha Beads, let alone a Golden Core like her!
