Listening to Xiao Bai's words, Bai Li Hong Zhuang finally noticed the faint blood color flowing on the crystal-clear blade.
The trace of blood was extremely faint, barely detectable unless one looked closely.
"This sword is probably not an ordinary item," Bai Li Hong Zhuang said with a touch of emotion in her light and pleasant voice. She gazed at the sword in her hand, and from her gaze, it was evident that this sword was highly unusual.
Even when quietly placed in the black iron box, she could still feel the sharpness and killing intent emanating from its blade.
Clearly, this was a sword stained with blood.
"Master, you should establish a blood connection with this sword," Xiao Bai reminded her.
Once they leave this chamber, countless cultivators would covet the sword in her possession. It would be wise to establish a blood connection first, making it difficult for others to take it away.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang nodded slightly. From the moment she saw this sword, she had made up her mind.
Coincidentally, she had been lacking a suitable weapon all this time, and the appearance of this sword was just perfect. She believed that with this sword in hand, her combat power could once again soar.
With this in mind, Bai Li Hong Zhuang no longer hesitated. She pricked her finger and let the blood drip onto the blade.
The blood dropped onto the blade, but instead of immediately blending in, it followed a faint trace on the sword, flowing from the blade to the tip, leaving behind a long and delicate mark.
As Bai Li Hong Zhuang infused her spiritual power and mental energy, the blood began to slowly be absorbed by the sword.
Once the blood was absorbed, the blade burst into a dazzling white light, just like the radiance emitted by the ruins.
Soon after, Bai Li Hong Zhuang noticed that on the crystal-clear blade, two exquisite and sharp characters appeared: "Liu Li!"
"Liu Li!" Bai Li Hong Zhuang stared at the two words. Clearly, the name of this sword was Liu Li!
"This sword is so extraordinary, truly not an ordinary item," exclaimed Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei, their eyes sparkling with curiosity. Only after establishing the blood connection did the true form of the sword become apparent, highlighting its uniqueness.
"Congratulations, Master!"
However, as Bai Li Hong Zhuang listened to the congratulations from the two little balls of fur, she shook her head. "I have only left my mark on the Liu Li sword; I haven't completed the full process of establishing a connection."
"Why?" Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai widened their eyes, looking at Bai Li Hong Zhuang with confusion.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang smiled helplessly. "There is still a seal on the Liu Li sword. Breaking that seal is not an easy task, and considering my current situation, it is not suitable to attempt it. It's better to leave a spiritual imprint for now and find a solution once we leave the ruins."
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai finally understood. It seemed they had oversimplified things.
Establishing a connection with a treasure of such high grade was not a simple matter, especially with the unique nature of the Liu Li sword.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang slowly stood up and looked at the door in front of her. She had been trapped in this chamber for so long; it was time to leave.
However, to her surprise, Bai Li Hong Zhuang discovered that a small door had appeared to the right of the chamber at some point, accompanied by a very simple mechanism.
With a sense of curiosity, Bai Li Hong Zhuang turned the mechanism.
"Crack!"
A sound echoed, and immediately, the stone door in front of Bai Li Hong Zhuang swung open!
