Lin Xiliu, a genius sword cultivator in the cultivation world, is broke.
How broke? While other people wield divine weapons, she picks up the junk swords and blades they've discarded. When one gets a bent edge, she simply swaps it for another. In her hands, they all cut just as well.
People are always asking how she can make a pile of scrap metal look like a divine weapon when she swings it. Tired of the questions, she casually made up the line, "There's an old sword cultivator living in my blade." Instead of earning her admiration, it brought her a death sentence. A vicious, jealous man kicked her into the Demon-Subduing Abyss, then stole her nearly broken blade and treasured it as if it were priceless.
When she opened her eyes again, a fox with a painted face was squatting on her face.
"Miss, would you like to become a Saniwa? We have over a hundred swords with sword spirits!"
Lin Xiliu's eyes lit up.
"We'll give you a big house and a training ground for free, and you can even go to the battlefield to grind mobs!"
Lin Xiliu was tempted.
"I'm in."
After she joined the job...
The sword spirits were real, the house really was free, and she really could go to the battlefield.
But why had all the sword spirits turned into people, and why were they taking their own original forms into battle to hack at things?!
If the sword spirits could automatically use their blades to fight monsters, what was she supposed to use?!
Lin Xiliu clutched the original form of her starter sword and stared wide-eyed at the glittering young man in front of her.
"Aren't you a sword spirit? Go inside the blade. Give me the sword so I can use it on the battlefield, and you can rest."
Hachisuka Kotetsu was silent for three seconds.
"...Do you know I'm a sword warrior, not an accessory for you to carry around?"
