My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 410: How Can You Attack Without Understanding Defence?

The treasures that can be included in the Imperial Palace’s treasure chamber are of course extraordinary, but with such a large amount, how should one choose?

Qin Feng looked at the dazzling treasures and felt a bit worried.

Currently, besides the Hairpin Treasure given by Miss Cang, he only had the strange Eight Trigrams Jade obtained from the Demon Slaying Department in Qiyuan City.

However, with his current abilities, the Eight Trigrams Jade has yet to prove its usefulness.

“Sister Mo’s true manifestation has been used, and the Sword Qi of  Yue Hexuan and Lord Sword Emperor have also been used. Therefore, finding a life-saving treasure is of the utmost importance to me.”

Thinking about this, he turned to ask, “Chief Steward Li, I want to choose a defensive treasure. Can you give me some advice?”

Eunuch Li, not wanting to refuse, replied, “I don’t  know much about such things. I can only take you to have a look.”

Eunuch Li led the way while sharing his knowledge.

Qin Feng wasn’t idle either. As he walked, he observed and occasionally picked up items to assess their quality.

“This Imperial Palace Treasury has three layers from the outside to the inside. The further inside, the better. In the past, the treasures given by the Emperor to those divine generals were all selected from the innermost layer.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng pulled his gaze away from the survey and looked somewhat disdainfully at the treasure in his hand before putting it back in its place.

His philosophy was not to seek the most practical, but the best! He had already lost interest in the treasures of the outer two layers.

As he followed Eunuch Li into the innermost layer, the number of treasures decreased significantly.

Moreover, the treasures here were no longer as colourful and eye-catching as those outside; instead, they seemed quite ordinary.

Despite their ordinary appearance, Qin Feng could sense that the aura emanating from these treasures was far superior to those outside!

“The treasures here are all extraordinary. Young Master Qin, you’re cultivating the tradition of the literary saint, so it’s natural to choose treasures that are activated by Literature Qi.” 

“For example, this one is called the Green Lotus Lamp. When Literature Qi is infused into it, it can create a light shield to protect the person inside. It’s an excellent choice for self-preservation because it’s impenetrable to blades and impervious to fire and water.”

Qin Feng looked at the green light and shook his head. Literary Saints were naturally good at defence rather than attack. 

Pairing them with a defensive treasure would be like adding another layer of armour to a tortoise shell, which is superfluous?

“Chief Steward Li, can you recommend some offensive treasures?”

Eunuch Li was confused, “Didn’t you say you wanted defensive items earlier?”

Qin Feng solemnly said, “Chief Steward Li, you may not know this, but for a man, offense is the best defence!”

Eunuch Li’s expression froze, then he glared at Qin Feng.

“Uh, Chief Steward Li, I didn’t mean it like that.” Qin Feng quickly waved his hands in the air.

He almost forgot that the man in front of him was no longer a real man in the strict sense, so he couldn’t talk nonsense to avoid hurting the other person.

Well, this unfounded talk had different meanings on different levels.

“I won’t bother to argue with someone like you.” Eunuch Li snorted and then turned his head to look at the remaining treasures.

“Speaking of offensive treasures, the best in the world is undoubtedly the sword. There are ten divine swords on the Great Qian Divine Sword List, and the Imperial Palace houses two of them.”

“But, the Literature Saint Dao Lineage practitioner like you may not find much use for this sword.”

Qin Feng’s eyes lit up and he said, “It’s fine for you to introduce it to me. I might not necessarily use this treasure myself; it’s also possible to choose one for my wife.”

Eunuch Li looked to the side and said, “I almost forgot, your wife is the youngest sword god in the history of the Great Qian. Come with me.”

Arriving in front of the storeroom of swords and treasures, Eunuch Li pointed to a long sword and said, “This is the Qingyun Sword, ranked tenth on The Great Qian Divine Sword List.”

Qin Feng looked at it, the long sword was all green with cloud patterns engraved on the surface, a sharp blade that emitted a cold light.

It was indeed a good sword.

However, his wife already possessed two divine swords: the seventh-ranked Cold Water Sword and the third-ranked Purple Thunder Divine Sword. 

Getting another divine sword, especially a lower-ranked one, seemed useless.

“This sword is not as good as the two my wife already has. Where is the other divine sword in the treasure vault?” Qin Feng looked around.

But Eunuch Li shook his head, “We only mentioned that there were two Divine Swords in the Imperial Palace, not necessarily both in this treasure vault.” 

“As for the other one, don’t even think about it. That sword is not for ordinary people to use; it’s the God Killing Divine Sword, number one on the Great Qian ranking, and only the current emperor can wield it!”

“The God Killing Divine Sword?” Qin Feng was momentarily stunned. 

Although the Great Qian Divine Sword Ranking List was known, there were various rumours about the top-ranked divine sword. Now, he learned its full name.

“It is said that this sword can kill gods. The founding emperor of the Great Qian used this sword to establish the empire.” Eunuch Li said with emotion.

A sword that can kill gods? Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, curious about such a divine weapon.

However, such a treasure was not something he could covet. He pushed his thoughts aside and once again examined the other treasures in the vault.

It was then that he felt a strange attraction to a dirty, palm-sized box.

As he approached it, Qin Feng asked, “What is this thing?”

Eunuch Li looked at it and said, “This item has been in this vault for who knows how many years. We don’t know its specific effects, but it’s placed next to the Green Lotus Lantern, so its function should be similar.”

Another defence treasure? Qin Feng felt a bit disappointed and decided to look elsewhere.

However, for some reason, as he turned away, the box seemed to have an inexplicable attraction to him.

Unable to make up his mind, Qin Feng channeled his spiritual consciousness into his Divine Sea and sought guidance from Elder Xuan.

The light on the Heart Questioning Platform emitted a white light, and the shadow of Xuan reappeared.

Looking at the box in the crystal bowl, Xuan Yi said, “I didn’t expect to see this item. You might as well take it with you; it will greatly benefit your cultivation.”

A valuable item? Qin Feng looked surprised and asked, “Elder Xuan, do you know this box?”

“It’s not the box itself, but what’s inside. I’ll tell you the details after you open the box when you return.”

With these words, the figure of Xuan Yi disappeared into the Divine Sea once again.

Qin Feng understood, then pointed at the box and said, “Eunuch Li, I want this thing!”

He believed that as a saint, Senior Xuan would not lie to him.

When Eunuch Li heard this, he looked puzzled, “Didn’t you just tell me that for men, the best defence is a good offence? Why do you want a defensive treasure now?”

Qin Feng calmly replied, “Eunuch Li, you don’t know everything. Sometimes, without understanding defence, how can there be a good offence?”

Eunuch Li: “.”
