Chapter 307: The Seven-Star Peachwood Sword! Three Hundred Thousand Merit! Wallbreak! Godspeed! Illusory Form! The Woman and the Scholar!
In the third wooden box lay a peachwood sword. Unlike ordinary peachwood swords, which were carefully and finely carved, this one looked somewhat crude in workmanship, as if it had been roughly hacked into shape.
Yet the moment Li Yanchu’s finger brushed against it, he immediately sensed the surging, pure spirit qi within the blade. It was turbulent and overflowing, and by no means was it weaker than the twice-enhanced Jiaoslayer! In fact, it was even stronger.
Upon the sword’s body were engraved the stars of the Big Dipper: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang. It carried within it a mysterious restriction.
Although Li Yanchu usually used a saber, this peachwood sword was undoubtedly an extraordinary magic artifact. And judging by its rough, unrefined appearance, its origin must surely be remarkable.
As expected of Jinguang Temple, their generosity is unmatched, he thought to himself.
Immediately after, he set out and left Jinguang Temple, putting distance between himself and this place of strife.

Ding Rou and Duanmu Xuan hadn’t even figured out what had happened, and had no chance to see him off. By the time they reacted, Li Yanchu had already gone down the mountain.
Jinguang Temple was rife with schemes, and he didn’t want to stay there even one more day.
No matter how lofty one’s Daoist arts, and no matter how ruthless one’s methods, they were still hard to guard against when old schemers plotted against you again and again. It was better to return to Wei City as soon as possible. Thus, on the winding mountain path, there appeared a young Daoist riding a donkey.
Li Yanchu’s merit had now soared dramatically; slaying a third realm demon in one stroke had granted him forty thousand merit points.
From this journey, his accumulated merit points now totaled three hundred and twelve thousand, five hundred. He had three hundred thousand merit points, and that was Li Yanchu’s greatest advantage[1].
