Lance was silent for a while before responding speechlessly, “Indeed, I have heard his name.”
Isn’t that obvious?
Of course, I’ve heard his name!
Search throughout all of Daxia, who among those who even vaguely know what Tang poetry is hasn’t heard of his name?!
But isn’t Li Bai a poetic immortal?
You say he loves drinking, I can agree with him being an immortal of alcohol.
But what do you mean by Sword Immortal??
And that sword move just now!
During the closed beta period, more than a hundred thousand people practically courted death just to see the NPC’s heavenly sword, but didn’t see anything in the end.
Was Cloud Dream just waiting here for a show?
The blow just now slashed from the easternmost horizon to the westernmost, splitting the sky into two!
The radiant white light illuminated the entire sky!
This is the goddamn Sword God, isn’t it?!

Ever since he started playing games, Lance had never felt such a burning desire to express his astonishment.
Not only him, the viewers also felt the same.
That sword move didn’t just wipe out all the monsters and fog, but it also momentarily cleared the comments in the live broadcast room.
But immediately after, the comments exploded—
“Damn!
Li Bai!”
“A thousand guests are drunk on wine, a cold sword sweeps across the fourteen states!
Damn impressive!!”
“Who will tell me again that this is a Martial Arts game?!”
“Stop urging!
I’m going to push the mainline quest right away!”
…
The comments are pouring in frenziedly, but Lance is not in the mood to read them.
He is staring at the figure standing on top of a building, wishing he could see it more clearly and best, get an autograph from him.
Although he rationally knows that this is just a character created by Cloud Dream, such a famous figure making such an amazing entrance makes it hard not to swoon over him.
But the golden figure didn’t seem to have any intention of coming down to meet them, instead, he brought out a liquor gourd, chugged it down with his neck raised, going “Ton Ton Ton”.
The morning sun rose gradually, light and shadow shifted, and his golden silhouette slowly faded, turning from an immortal back into an ordinary person.
The amazingly bright sword glow had already faded, and the Dragon Abyss Sword was haphazardly tied around his waist.
He was even too lazy to stand upright, casually resting against a flagpole and taking another comfortable sip.
“I knew it, Master has gotten drunk again.” The girl beside Lance said, covering her head in helplessness.
Looking at the figure that started drinking early in the morning, Lance wasn’t disappointed at all, on the contrary, he was more eager to get an autograph.
“I never asked, what did you learn from him?
Swordplay?”
The girl shook her head, “No, it’s seeking The Dao.”
Lance was a little surprised but also not really.
Everything from the outrageous fire and lightning techniques the girl had used in the previous battle, to Li Bai’s otherworldly swordplay that transfixed everyone when he appeared, far exceeded what could be encompassed by “Martial Arts”.
As for “Seeking The Dao” …
Lance looked at the scenery after the fog retreated and Mars disappeared, the sun rose, colours changed, pedestrians started to appear, and thought to himself: ‘It’s essentially cultivation, isn’t it?’
The interesting thing is that even though a lot of NPCs suddenly appeared and Luoyang City almost immediately returned to normal with bustling crowds and lively markets filled with the scent of food, none of the NPCs showed any reaction to “seeing an immortal”, they were just busy going on their way and doing their own things.
Lance vaguely understood: Li Bai’s sword strike probably didn’t truly split the sky in half, it was likely just because the form of existence of the foggy world was so specific that the sword move that broke the fog had such a dramatic effect.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, the young girl suddenly took a step forward and hugged him:
“Big brother!
Thank you for rescuing me, I’m really happy!”
“I’ve missed you a lot all these years.”
“Uh …” Lance raised his hands in mid-air, somewhat at a loss, “I …
missed you too?”
“But brother…” The girl said regretfully, “I’m about to leave with Master, yesterday was our last day in Luoyang.”
A viewer in the comments quickly chimed in:
“Historically, Li Bai was indeed seeking immortality and experimented with The Dao during this time, he was in Luoyang and met Du Fu several times.”
“So Cloud Dream has… found a real immortal for him?”
“What are you waiting for?
Quickly make her stay!
How can you let a good sister like this leave?”
…
Lance had indeed considered persuading her to stay.
But it wasn’t her that moved him, but the myriad, powerful enhanced items she brought.
If he kept this girl around, could he have a steady supply of these items in the future?
ƝονǤօ.сο
But when it came to actually persuading her, he didn’t know what to say.
Lance asked himself: how could he compete with Li Bai?
There was no comparison!
Nothing wrong with thinking like that—who in the world could compete with Li Bai?
Not to mention, this was Li Bai Plus in a Sword Immortal version!
Moreover—
That was cultivation!
He wanted to go too!
Lance couldn’t help but ask, “Does your Master still take on disciples?
How about taking me along?
If I can enter that world, it proves that I also have the ability, doesn’t it?”
“Ah… ” The young girl looked at her teacher leaning against the flagpole, carelessly drinking, “If he’s willing, he should come down…”
What she meant was: since he didn’t come down, he wasn’t willing to take on new disciples.
Lance felt it was a real shame.
Before he had a chance to sigh, Li Bai suddenly stopped drinking, put down his gourd, and casually threw down a small jug of wine and a token.
Lance caught them both.
The wine was [Peach Blossom Brew], and the token was a [Worry-Free Gold Medal].
His eyes brightened.
He flipped over the gold medal and sure enough, saw a few lines of small characters on the back:
[Use this to dine at the tavern, borrow money from the treasury.
Anyone disrespectful will be punished by royal decree.]
“So, does this mean my gourd will never run out of wine?” Lance immediately cheered up.
But his happy surprises hadn’t ended.
The young girl covertly gave him a book of secrets, “Don’t tell anyone.”
Lance took the secret book and looked at it—[Flying Sword Piercing the Clouds].
“!!” He widened his eyes in astonishment, “Flying Sword?!”
Just as he was about to take a closer look, the young girl suddenly stepped back, her eyes red, “Brother, I have to go now, but I’ll come back to see you!”
Clearly reluctant to part with her loved ones, she started to tear up before she even finished speaking, while simultaneously making a life card for Lance on the spot and carefully putting it away.
Having done all this, she took her tear-streaked leave, making her way into the bustling crowd of the divine capital with lingering looks back at him along the way.
Not until she was a good distance away, when the crowd was about to completely block her from view, did she turn for a final look at Lance, the moment stretching out as the image froze.
Soft music began to play.
At the edge of the vision, lines of text began to appear, the production list, special thanks and the like scrolling by.
A soft white light descended from the sky, slowly coalescing into a diamond trophy right before Lance.
He had achieved the first completion for “Chang’an”.
The live-streamer community was all cheers.
But Lance didn’t pay it much attention, simply putting the trophy away.
Once the shine of accomplishment faded, the production list was still slowly rolling upwards.
The young girl slowly turned around and disappeared into the crowd, leaving no trace.
…
…
From their entrance into Chang’an until now, they had been following the meandering course of this girl.
After many trials and tribulations, they finally met her.
But the meeting was so fleeting.
They had merely shared a night of warfare, and witnessed the meteoric slash of the Sword Immortal, only to be confronted with their departure all too soon.
Looking back on all they had been through, it was like a dream.
Looking at the direction the girl had disappeared, he suddenly felt a sense of loss.
