Ye Su returned to the compound and placed the things given by the master on the round table in the compound. Yi Xuan did not participate and went to practice flying swords alone, obviously not interested in these things.
The four of them had long been accustomed to their junior fellow disciple not participating in their group activities, and they all sat around the round table, staring at the trivial things in the middle with serious faces.
"Although this knife is not very good, you can get a lot of spiritual iron after melting it." After Xiyu said this, he moved the knife on the round table to his side.
"Then I want this sword." Xia Er said.
What was left were some refining materials. Ming Liusha picked a few and then asked the key question: "Master, father, did you give me any spiritual stones?"
Ye Su: “…”
Spirit stones are the currency in the world of cultivation and can be used for transactions. They are also important materials for cultivation. Spiritual veins cannot be moved, but spirit stones can be carried around, making it convenient for cultivators to practice anytime and anywhere.
Obviously, the head master does not have such things. Qianjimen can only earn a little spiritual stone every year, and refining equipment has become a problem. To be honest, there is no difference between the disciples of Qianjimen and casual cultivators. They only have the name of a sect, and nothing else. They are even poorer than casual cultivators.
"Let's go down the mountain and earn some spirit stones ourselves." Ye Su pointed at the things on the table and said, "It just so happens that there are some materials here."
At night, Ye Su did not go to bed early, but went to the Collection Pavilion to find the gatekeeper Yu Fenghai.
He sat alone at the table at the entrance of the Collection Pavilion and closed his eyes to rest.
"Yu Shoumen." Ye Su called out and took out a speed talisman from behind. Seeing Yu Fenghai open his eyes, he asked, "Yu Shoumen, can you try this talisman?"
"What is this?" Yu Fenghai asked, looking at the talisman paper in her hand.
"The speed talisman is said to be applicable to all realms." Ye Su explained.
"Where did you get it?" Yu Fenghai felt amused. The Qianji Sect was almost so poor that it was about to disband, so how could they afford to buy talismans that were universal for all realms
Ye Su said: "I drew it myself."
"..." In order not to discourage her, Yu Fenghai motioned her to put the talisman paper on the table, "Leave it there. I'll try it when I have time."
Yu Shoumen always keeps his word, so Ye Su could only give up and go back.
Early the next morning, the four of them had packed their luggage.
Ye Su spent the whole night drawing talismans yesterday and stuffed them all into his Qiankun bag early this morning.
As Xia Er walked out, he heard the door of the next room open. He turned around and saw Yi Xuan coming out. He asked happily, "Junior brother, do you want to go with us?"
"... I'm with my junior sister." Yi Xuan stood at the door of the room and inadvertently met the gaze of Ye Su who was standing in the yard. He felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Xia Er thought of what his junior sister said yesterday, and instantly understood that his junior brother was going to travel with the Wuyin Sect. Although she was disappointed that Yi Xuan was not going with them, she could also understand it.
Ye Su came over, took out a bottle of medicine and a hidden weapon from the Qiankun bag and handed them to Yi Xuan: "Master gave it to the five of us. If you don't want it, I can't explain it."
Among the pile of miscellaneous items, these two things are the most valuable. After a unified discussion among the four of them yesterday, they finally decided to give them to the junior brother.
Seeing Yi Xuan accept it, Ye Su rummaged in her Qiankun bag again, and finally took out a stack of crumpled talisman papers, took out ten of them and stuffed them into his pockets: "I drew these overnight, I don't know how effective they are, but consider them as a parting gift from Senior Sister."
"Master, sister, I want one too." Ming Liusha from the other end came over in a long tone to ask for talisman paper.
"All." Ye Su turned around and gave ten to each person.
The five people in the yard were too young, and none of them knew much about talisman masters, so they had no idea how shocking what Ye Su had done was.
No talisman master could easily draw so many talismans in one night.
This speed talisman is indeed low-level, but Ye Su has only just established his foundation.
"Let's go." After distributing the talisman papers, Ye Su called on the other three to leave and waved to Yi Xuan with her back to him.
Yi Xuan looked down at the crumpled stack of speed talismans in his hand, and finally put them away.
…
The four of them descended from Jiuxuan Peak and passed through the empty trial field before they walked out of Qianji Gate.
Ye Su looked back at the imposing square gate made of black iron with simple carvings. The three large characters "Qianji Gate" were powerfully engraved on the top. Just looking at this gate that seemed to reach straight into the sky, who would have known that their sect was extremely poor.
"Senior Sister, which direction are we going?" Xiyu asked.
The entire cultivation world is centered on the Penglai Mountains. The Five Elements Sect, the Hehuan Sect, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, and the Dan Sect guard the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions respectively. In addition, the Kunlun Sect is located at the top of Kunlun Mountain in the northwest.
The cultivation techniques in each direction are different. Apart from the unique Kunlun in the northwest, the east direction is the most prosperous area in the world of cultivation. There is the Five Elements Sect in the east direction, and the second largest sword cultivation sect in the world of cultivation, the My Sword Sect, is located in the east direction.
The two sects and four schools occupy one sect in the east, so it is hard not to be prosperous.
Other large and small sects and schools are scattered in various directions. The Qianji Sect is located to the south-east of the country. In fact, most of the weapon-refining sects are located to the east of this direction.
"Let's go to Dinghai City." Ye Su said.
"Are you going to visit Po Yuan Sect?" Xia Er asked. Dinghai City is the territory of Po Yuan Sect.
There are two most famous weapon-refining sects today, one is the Zhanjin Sect located in Xihe City in the northeast, and the other is the Poyuan Sect located in Dinghai City in the southeast.
Ye Su took out the communication jade disc. This thing can not only receive voice and text, but also has a public area, a bit like the loudspeaker in the game. After paying, you can post messages, and anyone with the communication jade disc can see it.
"Look." Ye Su clicked on a page of public notices in her collection. "In half a year, Po Yuan Sect will hold a weapon refining competition. Within three months before the competition, weapon refiners who are not from Po Yuan Sect can submit their works to them. A thousand weapon refiners can enter Po Yuan Sect to participate in the initial competition. Then a hundred weapon refiners will be selected to enter the finals with Po Yuan Sect's disciples. The top ten will receive material rewards."
"Big sister, this should be a notice sent to individual weapon masters." Xiyu reminded.
The world of cultivation is too big, and there are always many independent cultivators. The purpose of Po Yuan Sect's move is, firstly, to put pressure on the sect's disciples and stimulate them, so that they can learn from each other. Secondly, it can absorb some outstanding independent cultivators with potential after the competition. This happens basically every few years.
"I read it through several times. They only said that non-disciples of Poyuan Sect, but they didn't say that disciples of other sects can't participate." Ye Su said, "From the preliminary round to the final, there will be two months. All weapon refiners will stay in Poyuan Sect. If we can make it to the final, we can use the spirit gathering array for two months openly."
The spiritual energy in the center of the spiritual vein is the most concentrated, and can only be used by people in this sect. However, outsiders also need spiritual energy to refine weapons, so this is when the spirit gathering array can come in handy. Only large sects have the capital to set it up.
Xia Er immediately gave Ye Su a thumbs up: "Big sister, great!"
Qianji Sect has been using spiritual energy everywhere for hundreds of years, and its reputation has almost been ruined. Now it is not welcomed anywhere. If they can get in through the competition, Poyuan Sect will not be able to refuse them, which is much better than forcing a visit.
The four of them walked down the mountain and passed through a teleportation array.
This teleportation array is not very big, but it is sufficient, and disciples of the Wuyin Sect can be seen coming in and out everywhere.
Ming Liusha looked at the teleportation array and could not move any further: "I want to enter the teleportation array."
"Don't even think about it. We don't have any spirit stones." Xiyu grabbed Ming Liusha by the back of his neck and dragged him away. "The right way is to keep your feet on the ground."
"Look, Senior Sister!" Xia Er pointed at the two people flying swords in front of him, "They are Junior Brother and Junior Sister."
Ye Su looked up at the figure flying quickly across the sky. It had only been two days since he could successfully fly a sword, and he could even bring a girl with him. He was worthy of being the second male lead.
The two landed in front of them. Ning Qianyao jumped from behind Yi Xuan to in front of Ye Su and called out sweetly, "Senior Sister."
Afterwards, a group of disciples of the Wuyin Sect dressed in white came. They were music practitioners, and each of them carried a musical instrument.
"You guys are also going down the mountain to train?" The leading young man glanced at Ye Su, "Do you have spirit stones to teleport?"
The group of Wuyin Sect disciples behind him chuckled. Taking the teleportation array required a large amount of spirit stones, and the people from Qianji Sect could not afford it.
Yi Xuan frowned when he heard this, and his fingers on the hilt of the sword couldn't help but clench.
"No, we are too poor." Ye Su on the opposite side shook his head and sighed, then looked at the leading youth eagerly, "Brother Xin Xin, as a neighboring sect, why don't you sponsor us to set up a teleportation array?"
Disciples of Wuyin Sect: “…” Shameless!
Xia Er sighed in a way that was beyond the world: "Senior Sister, are we going to take the teleportation array? I have never taken the teleportation array before. Thank you, Senior Brother Xinxin!"
Xin Xin: "…" Who is your senior brother? Why are you thanking him
Ye Su has stepped forward and held the hand of the leading young man: "Brother Xin Xin, if you can help us a little, when our Qianji Sect becomes prosperous, we will definitely not forget our neighboring sect."
Xin Xin shook off Ye Su's hand and laughed, "Wait for your Qianji Sect to become prosperous? It's better to wait for me to successfully overcome the tribulation."
"That's not the case. There is still a chance for Qianjimen to prosper, but for Brother Xinxin to successfully overcome the tribulation..." Ye Su looked at him and uttered the last word, "Difficult."
"you!"
Finally, Xin Xin sneered, turned to the others of the Wuyin Sect and said, "Let's go."
The people of Wuyin Sect took out their spirit stones and put them into the teleportation formation. Ning Qianyao came over, pursed her lips, and took out a thousand low-grade spirit stones from her Qiankun bag: "Big sister, these are some I saved, you can take them."
A thousand low-grade spirit stones were only enough for one person to teleport, and couldn't even reach Dinghai City, but Ye Su accepted them without hesitation and praised: "Little Junior Sister, you are still the best."
Yi Xuan frowned and looked at Ye Su: "Senior Sister." He didn't understand why she never felt ashamed.
Ye Su glanced at him and made way: "The people from Wuyin Sect are leaving soon, please come in, Junior Sister."
"Junior Brother, let's go." Ning Qianyao tugged at Yi Xuan's sleeve and left, looking up and saying, "When we get there, you can teach me how to fly a sword. Qianyao also wants to learn swordsmanship."
Before Yi Xuan entered the teleportation array, he saw four people still standing outside alone out of the corner of his eye. He felt inexplicably complicated and paused in his steps.
"Junior Brother?" Ning Qianyao called out with some confusion.
Yi Xuan calmed his mind, gripped the sword tightly, and stepped into the teleportation array.
In fact, the four people standing outside the teleportation array were very happy at this moment.
Xia Er sighed: "Junior Sister is actually willing to give us spirit stones."
There are many disciples under the Qianji Sect, especially on Jiuxuan Peak. It is too difficult to feed all these people. Ye Su and his companions are all talented. They find ways to make magical instruments with some materials and sell them to earn some spirit stones, but in the end they don't get them.
"Eighty percent of the spiritual stones from selling the instruments went to Elder Yang, who then gave them all to Junior Sister. The remaining twenty percent belonged to us disciples and Master. Those were clearly the spiritual stones we earned with our own hard work." Xiyu curled her lips, "Master also wanted to refine the musical instruments for the Wuyin Sect for free."
For the sake of Qianji Sect's disciples, the head master has been busy refining magical instruments every year, and the majority of the spirit stones he earns are also divided up by Elder Yang. Of course, they can go to Wuyin Sect's spiritual veins and spiritual energy without any guilt, but they are always disturbed by Wuyin Sect's disciples, and they can't go there many times in a year or two.
Ye Su put away the spirit stone: "We should go now."
"Do we really have to walk over there?" Ming Liusha thought that they had to walk to Dinghai City, and he felt as if his feet weighed a thousand pounds.
Ye Su thought for a moment and said, "You can try flying over there on a sword."
"Senior Sister, can you fly a sword?" Xiyu asked subconsciously.
"No." Ye Su turned to Xia Er and said, "Lend me your sword to try."
Xia Er immediately took out the sword: "Big sister, we only have one sword."
"Even if I have four, it's useless." Ming Liusha said slowly, "We haven't built the foundation yet."
Ye Su poured spiritual power into the sword, controlling the entire sword to grow larger: "Quick, let's stand on it and try it out."
The four people stood on the sword in unison, imitating the postures of Yi Xuan and Ning Qianyao before, and then Ye Su drove the sword.
Then, the sword suddenly jumped out and the four people fell directly to the ground.
"Big sister, the sword can fly!" Xia Er sat on the ground and sighed as he watched the sword fly into the sky, "As expected of Big Sister, you can fly the sword for the first time."
Ye Su: “…” What a boastful junior brother.
"Big sister, it's okay, let's keep trying." Xiyu also saw hope. Only a fool would really want to "keep his feet on the ground" and walk to Dinghai City!
"I'll try it alone first." Ye Su said.
She had seen the male protagonist flying a sword in the back mountain, so she closed her eyes and recalled it carefully, then imitated his gestures and controlled the sword.
"It's flying!" Xia Er said excitedly as he watched the senior sister standing on the sword and slowly getting up.
Xiyu looked up nervously at Ye Su who was flying higher and higher.
However, before she could be happy for long, Ye Su suddenly fell from mid-air. If she had not reacted quickly, she would have hit her face on the ground.
She finally understood why Yi Xuan looked so miserable when he came back that morning.
"Flying a little is also flying." Ming Liusha said slowly, "Master, let's go together."
"Okay, all of you come up." Ye Su turned her wrist and said, "I'll try to control it."
The four men relied on a sword and tried countless times along the way, crashing into the mountain, falling in mid-air... all kinds of postures were tried once.
Until Ye Su was able to successfully fly with the three of them on his sword.
