Chapter 377: Chapter 376: The Fragile Immortal Sword_1

Tao Yaoye felt helpless and shrugged, “There’s no other way. When I was creating the illusion, I found a serious problem. The people who I fabricated out of thin air felt unrealistic in appearance.”

“Later, my master told me that this is a common problem encountered when creating illusions. Whether it’s people made out of thin air or stitching together several familiar people into one, it always feels false.”

“So now, I can only use the images of those I am familiar with. I thought about it and asked my master, Second Elder, and Eighth Elder. Finally, we all agreed that the image of the Sect Leader was the most suitable.”

“Senior Brother, you’re familiar with the Sect Leader and, thus, feel no sense of immersion in seeing him as the main character, but outsiders don’t share the same feeling because they don’t know the Sect Leader.”

Lu Yang: “…”

Alright, your points are valid.

Fifth Elder stated calmly, “Aside from Old Nine’s image, the plot is still interesting.”

Fifth Elder had never had such a thought before. After experiencing this illusion, he suddenly realized how thrilling it could be to disguise himself as a low-ranking cultivator and reveal his true cultivation level at critical moments.

Fifth Elder saw the immense business potential in Tao Yaoye’s invention. It has absolute appeal to ordinary people and low-ranking cultivators, even for mid and high-ranking ones, its attraction is undeniable.

Moreover, it’s easy to spread along this illusion technology. Moreover, it can be mass-produced.

Setting up the illusion isn’t hard. Tao Yaoye managed to build a framework within half a month. However, if the outside world came to know about this, there would be a risk of piracy.

The challenge of this illusion lies in who thought of it first.

Patents need to be applied for as soon as possible.

“The array method and the talisman work together. Have you come up with a name yet?”

“Not yet. Could you, Senior Brother, help to come up with one?” Tao Yaoye asked Lu Yang for help. Senior Brother Lu always had unique insights.

“Me?” Lu Yang was just enjoying the fun, how did this become his responsibility?

“Let me think. Although the illusion is not real, and even though you immerse yourself upon viewing, you may feel melancholy after it ends. But it’s ultimately just a reflection in the water. It’s like a dream, nonexistent in reality… How about calling it ‘Dream Mirage’?”

“Dream Mirage?” Tao Yaoye’s eyes lit up, she silently repeated the name a few times, and the more she said it, the better she thought the name was.

“Alright, let’s call it Dream Mirage!”

“Dream Mirage, good name.” The Fifth Elder nodded his approval. He had always trusted Lu Yang’s naming skills.

The name ‘Multi-Treasure Heavenly King’ was also given by Lu Yang.

“Martial Niece Tao, do you still have talismans? I need to take them back. How should we go about applying for a patent?”

“I have them, I have them.” Tao Yaoye didn’t expect the Fifth Elder to agree so readily. She gave all the remaining talismans to Fifth Elder and rolled up the scroll of the array method and handed it over.

After receiving the talismans and the scroll of the array method, the Fifth Elder suddenly remembered something and showed a meaningful smile, “Applying for a patent isn’t hard, but have you ever thought about who the patent will belong to, Martial Niece Tao?”

“Who will own the patent?”

Seeing Elder Five’s mischievous smile, Tao Yaoye finally realized that she came up with an idea and made the talismans for the illusion, as well as simplified the array method, but all of that was done by the Second and the Eighth Elder.

Technically speaking, they should also own part of the patent.

Are they going to take a large part of the patent, or are they planning to buy all the patents from her?

She heard that some sect elders are keen on seizing the disciples’ opportunities, forcing the disciples to swallow their anger.

Uncle Ba jokingly gave Fifth Elder a push, “You’ve always been sly since you were a kid, you put nearly as much effort into tricking the treasury of the Nine Nether Sect as Old Eight did!”

Sixth Elder gave Fifth Elder a deep look, which scared him into a cold sweat, and he quickly denied it.

“Just making a joke with the little guy. It’s better for her to learn from my scare about the hardships of the world rather than be cheated by outsiders, right?”

Uncle Ba said kindly, “Martial Niece Tao, neither Old Eight nor I lack these patents, and we don’t have any need to spend spirit stones either. We were just helping you to kill time, the patents are all yours.”

Eighth Elder nodded on the side. He never did anything to hurt his sect.

Tao Yaoye was deeply moved. She decided to repay the sect once Dream Mirage earned spirit stones.

After Tao Yaoye and the others left, Lu Yang stayed back, which puzzled the Fifth Elder.

“Martial Nephew Lu, do you have something else?”

“Nothing serious. I just wanted to ask, has my flying car patent made any money yet?”

This made the Fifth Elder even more puzzled, “It did make money. I gave all the spirit stones to Martial Nephew Yun, didn’t you receive them?”

After confirming he didn’t lose his memory, Lu Yang firmly shook his head.

“That’s strange. Why don’t you ask Martial Nephew Yun what happened?”

Lu Yang: “…”

He suddenly felt the patent fee wasn’t that important.

No, no, no. He shouldn’t think like that. These are the spirit stones he deserves. He must clarify this issue with Eldest Senior Sister!

“Fairy, can you handle this for me?”

Fairy Eternity was enjoying the fun, why did it end up having to do with her?

“Huh?”

“You’ve always been unafraid of Eldest Senior Sister, haven’t you, Fairy?”

“Yes, just a mere Miss Yun, who would be afraid of her?” Fairy Eternity stubbornly replied, she couldn’t show weakness in front of Lu Yang.

Lu Yang cheered for Fairy Eternity’s courage.

“Since we share one body, your matters are mine, and mine are yours, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then isn’t it appropriate for you to ask Eldest Senior Sister, Fairy?”

“It seems you’re right… Ok, don’t worry, I’ll handle this!” Fairy assured while patting her chest.

“There’s one more thing.” As Lu Yang said that, he took out an immortal sword from the identity jade that was refined by Yingtian Immortal and used by the Qilin Immortal.

“Can you see if this flying sword can be repaired?” One Green Peak Sword was not enough, and Lu Yang wanted to refine another.

Upon seeing the sword, Fifth Elder’s eyes widened, and he stammered, “My God, this is an immortal sword, made by an immortal! Where did you find it?”

“I found it at a stall at the Qingzhou Fair.”

Fifth Elder looked at Lu Yang enviously. This boy’s luck was extraordinary.

Fifth Elder shook his head: “It would be extremely difficult, if not impossible. This sword was forged by an immortal, and it’s indestructible. Even the Heavenly Tribulation can hardly cause it any damage. Just because you see that this sword is broken and that only half of it remains, it doesn’t mean that it’s fragile. If I’m not mistaken, this must have resulted from a great battle.”

Lu Yang nodded. The Dragon and Phoenix geniuses discovered Qilin immortal’s deceit and must have been furious, which likely led to a great battle.

Fifth Elder showed a longing look, “The level of such a battle is not something we can participate in. It is only such a high-level battle that can destroy an immortal sword.”

You may not believe it when I say this, but do you think this sword is fragile and imagine that I can snap it just by doing this?”

As he said that, Fifth Elder casually attempted to snap the immortal sword.

Snap–

A faint snapping sound echoed as the immortal sword broke into two parts.

Fifth Elder: “…”

How many spirit stones should I pay for the immortal sword? Would selling me be enough to cover it?
