A Divine Sword?!

As Lu Qingyun and Qin Keqin were walking in the city streets, they were also chatting casually as well. 

All of a sudden Qin Keqin turned to Lu Qingyun as she said solemnly, "You should return that precious sword of yours to Elder Ouyang."

 Lu Qingyun immediately replied without hesitation even though it was a valuable heaven-step precious sword, "Alright, I will."

 Qin Keqin took a queer look at him, "You didn't ask me why and you are returning it to him? This is such a valuable precious sword and you don't want to keep it for yourself?"

 Lu Qingyun smiled, "If my cultivation protege mistress tells me to return the precious sword to him, naturally it can't be wrong."

 Qin Keqin began to smile wryly behind her curtain veil and she was looking quite pleased. 

 Lu Qingyun saw that Qin Keqin was suddenly quiet so he asked curiously, "Did I say anything wrong?"

Qin Keqin was actually looking at him keenly and was in a mini daze. After all, he was quite handsome and he had a generous spirit too.

 She quickly regained her composure and chuckled, "Nothing. I was just thinking of something else."

Then she took out a beautiful sword from her spatial ring, "This sword is from me. Don't use…" she had suddenly turned around to say shyly, "Don't use the sword that are from the other maidens."

 Lu Qingyun unsheathed the beautiful sword that was Qin Keqin and he was stunned; the sword that had been unsheathed radiated unimagined power. This was a celestial-step divine sword! 

 He was totally stunned on the spot as he stammered, "This is…this is…"

 Qin Keqin had raised her fingers to quickly sheath the sword that was in Lu Qingyun's hand back into the scabbard as she said mesmerizing, "We are still in the streets. Be a little discreet."

 Lu Qingyun's head almost exploded.

It was because this was a celestial-step divine sword; this was not a precious sword but a divine sword which is several notch better than any precious sword. Even the lowest grade divine sword is better than any precious sword! 

In order to forge a divine sword, a precious rare metal that is called the Heavenly Relic must be used. This rare metal cannot be mined because it is only created during a failed ascension to the immortal realm. 

Most of the Heavenly Relics that are being created can only be made into the mortal-step or the earth-step divine swords. Even then, divine swords are so precious that they are usually the prized inheritance of a cultivation sect and are the often also the symbol of leadership in a cultivation sect. 

Now a celestial-step grade is even better than the usual heaven-step grade. However for precious swords, the best quality is actually the heaven-step grade. But for a divine sword, the quality can be furthered graded into the celestial-step, the immortal-step, saint-step, the emperor-step and the divine-step grade.

No one has ever seen an emperor or a divine-step grade as these two grades are considered to be true immortal grades while a saint-step is only heard of but rarely seen. 

The appearance of even a celestial-step divine sword is almost sure to create greedy eyes and even a bitter fight for its possession. 

Divine swords are so rare in the Celestial Realm that every divine sword has an illustrious history and most of the celestial clans/ cultivation sects only have just a few or none at all.

Qin Keqin smiled to him, "This is also a fire element and a superior grade celestial-step divine sword so it won't easily break in your hands. You can safely use this divine sword without a fear of shattering it. It can resist your unique body constitution." 

Lu Qingyun was quite startled that Qin Keqin was able to know his unique body constitution that prevented him from using most weapons. 

He was so touched that he immediately kneel down in front of her and wept aloud, "Master, you are really so kind to me…" He was holding her legs tightly and burying his head on her skirt as he wept aloud.

 This attracted a lot of attention from the onlookers as they started to look curiously in their direction…

 "This young man must be unfaithful to her. That is why he is begging her for her forgiveness…"

 "Young people nowadays…"

 "That young man doesn't look so bad. Hope that she may forgive him…"

 "Are they having a couple's quarrel?"

 "This is so interesting…"

 "The veiled maiden looks really mesmerizing…"

 "I bet that she will not forgive him…"

 Qin Keqin was startled and was secretly flushing when Lu Qingyun had buried his head on her skirt and already touching areas that he was not supposed to. She tried to push him gently away but he had his hands around her legs…

 In the end she panicky said, "Please get up. We are in the public…"

 Lu Qingyun quickly got up, not realizing what he had done. He was so touched that this was the only normal reaction to him.

 He did not know that he had caused Qin Keqin to have deep flushes and she was extremely flustered at the moment.

 "What? It is over just like this?"

 "It doesn't seem to be like a quarrel?"

 "Maybe it is a marriage proposal…"

 "Yea, maybe it is. He was kneeling down earlier…"

 "What a lucky guy…"

 "What a blissful maiden to have such a guy…"

 Qin Keqin had extremely sharp ears and this caused her to have even more deep flushes. She quickly said to Lu Qingyun, "Let's move out of here first and talk elsewhere…"

She had caught hold of his hands and had pulled him along with her.

 Lu Qingyun's heart was suddenly pounding very fast as he felt her soft and tender hand holding onto his hand.
