Qianlong Shenfeng Sword
The Qianlong Emperor should be familiar to everyone, he is the emperor who holds the longest power in his hands, he has loved antique calligraphy and painting all his life, and when he sees some treasures, he can't take a step. But Qianlong also liked swords very much, and his favorite royal sword, inlaid with 102 treasures, was extremely luxurious, and the carved ornaments on the sword showed the king's spirit.
The difficulty of casting this sword is also extremely rare in history, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the gemstones of this sword are made using a masking process that has been on the verge of being lost.
