"The first is the sword, the most honored among all weapons. It can be light or heavy, long or short, the most common of weapons in the world. Even those who do not practice the Sword Dao often carry them, for ceremonies, making oaths, or committing suicide..."
"My family is most proficient with this weapon. It is rumored that there is a Sword Canon in our clan of Fifth Grade, ranked among the top in various sects… There are also numerous Spirit Swords in the family, both the Green Ruler and the Han Lin are of Foundation Establishment level."
Li Chengliao finished speaking and revealed the sword strapped to his waist. The blade was smooth and bright, and the scale-like patterns on it were dense, emanating a cold light and a deep blue hue. He explained:
"This is the Family Head's companion sword, called Jiao Carved Pillar, three feet and seven inches long. It is also a symbol of holding the family reigns. One day when you take over the Li Family, you will wear this sword as well."
