Gu Pinglin lacked talent, so he created the Array Sword to make up for it. Bu Shuihan didn't need to do the same. He always adhered to the purest Lingxin Sword, and could be considered the orthodox inheritor of Lingxin. As soon as he approached the stone chair, he was entangled by a very unfamiliar and gentle sword intent. Even though he was well prepared, he was forced to retreat half a step. Fortunately, he was born to be belligerent and had rich practical experience, so he finally suppressed the True Water Sword Intent.
Bu Shuihan raised his eyebrows and sat down on the stone chair.
Zhan Renjie nodded without saying anything. He was originally vague about Bu Shuihan and Qu Lin's affairs, but because Qu Lin has been very diligent in recent years and has entered the outer alchemy realm, sending Yan Feixiu before and then sending Qu Lin was equivalent to strengthening the strength of the Lingxin Sect in vain. Who would have thought that Bu Shuihan would be promoted to the inner alchemy realm so quickly, so he was happy to see it happen. Now Qu Lin is still in seclusion and has not come out, so he did not follow.
Tao Yusheng was very surprised, and thinking of the current predicament of the Zhenshui Sword Sect, he shook his head and sighed.
There were nine seats left, so Gu Pinglin didn't wait any longer and stepped out of the crowd: "There are thousands of ways to practice Taoism, and they can be transformed into swords; when Taoism returns to one, there will be no swords and no formations."
The voice was cold and almost sharp. All the cultivators stopped talking and looked at him.
The reputation of the Lingxin Sect was gradually rising. Tao Yusheng had long heard of his sword art. He smiled and said, "Master Gu has a unique way of doing things. I have heard of his reputation for a long time."
In recent years, Gu Pinglin has rarely appeared in public. Many cultivators have only heard of his name and are very curious about the way of sword formation. Many sword cultivators even show disdain on their faces. They claim to practice authentic swordsmanship and sneer at this "external swordsmanship" that requires the help of formation power.
Gu Pinglin turned a blind eye to this, bowed to Tao Yusheng, and then walked towards the stone chair.
This life is incomparable to the previous life, and I can advance four more levels.
However, when he passed the ninth seat, Gu Pinglin couldn't help but pause and look to the left.
The stone chair was empty, and the old friend was gone, but next to it grew the same short tree, the same branches, and even the bright red flowers on the branches were exactly the same as in my memory.
It can be seen that there are still things that remain unchanged.
The past is over, so don’t be obsessed with it.
Gu Pinglin collected his thoughts and continued walking forward. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and walked straight to the ninth seat on the right.
Since you are already committed, why go against your heart? Tao follows nature, just follow your heart.
In a flash, the barrier that had been motionless for a long time seemed to loosen a little, like an illusion. Gu Pinglin didn't care much about it, and easily broke through the True Water Sword Intent without seeing any movement.
Tao Yusheng stroked his beard and sighed again.
The two sat next to each other, and Zhan Renjie praised from the side, "The way of formation swords is indeed amazing. Sect Leader Gu has really opened our eyes."
Sitting in the familiar seat, Gu Pinglin was surprisingly calm and said politely, "Excuse me, I'm just sitting here for a while."
The two people from the Lingxin Sect successfully won the seats, and the other cultivators became enthusiastic again. They came forward to take seats one after another. When all the seats were full, they started to compete, arguing and competing with each other. Putting aside the cultivation level, the advantages and disadvantages of various Taoist methods were more clearly presented. Not only the two people fighting, but also the bystanders had a lot of experience. Several cultivators seemed to have realized something and sat on the spot to comprehend the truth. After half an hour, many stone seats changed several owners. Bu Shuihan was forced to leave. The other party was a senior and had a unique understanding of Taoism. He was also convinced. After giving up his seat, he walked to stand behind Gu Pinglin. Looking around the seats, most of those who stayed were sword cultivators, which shows the advantage of swordsmanship in the cultivation world.
Finally, Yun He stood up and said, "I would like to ask Master Yu for advice."
Elder Fang Zhongyuan has passed away. Yu Wuxue, the head of Feijian Palace, did not win a seat in the last discussion. Unless his understanding has greatly increased in the past thousand years, it will be difficult for Feijian Palace to maintain its first place. From the moment Yunhe surpassed Duan Zheng to take the second place, everyone knew that something was going to happen. Therefore, even though they knew that Yu Wuxue was not very good, no one challenged him. At this moment, Yunhe finally started to take action, and the surroundings immediately became silent.
"Dean Yun is still so impatient," Zhan Renjie asked Gu Pinglin with a smile in his eyes, "What does Sect Leader Gu think?"
Gu Pinglin said: "Master Yu is naturally inferior to Master Yun."
The reputation of Xuanming Sect as the best was about to be established, and Zhan Renjie happily turned his gaze towards Yunhe and the other person.
Gu Pinglin smiled meaningfully.
Bu Shuihan noticed it and asked in a low voice: "What do you think..."
Gu Pinglin raised his hand to stop him: "Look first."
"Yin alone cannot produce life, Yang alone cannot grow," Yun He walked towards Yu Wuxue, "The way of pure Yang is difficult to enter the Great Way."
Upon hearing this, everyone started talking again.
This was exactly what Yun He asked Fang Zhongyuan at the beginning. He was unfortunately defeated later. Now that he says this again, the meaning behind it is thought-provoking.
Thousands of years have passed, and Yun He has also realized something, so he is confident. He is full of sword intent and approaches Yu Wuxue step by step. On the surface, this is a contest between sword intent and sword intent, but in fact it is a contest between sword arts and sword arts. At the discussion meeting, it is clear who is more advanced.
Facing the provocation, Yu Wuxue not only did not panic, but raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Brother Yun must also know that I will have to give up this position sooner or later, that's all."
As soon as he smiled, Zhan Renjie became alert and looked at the other people in Feijian Palace with suspicion.
Although Yun He was surprised, he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Yu Wuxue couldn't win and wanted to give up his position to him. His expression softened a little and he said with a cupped hand: "Brother Yu is straightforward, then I won't be polite..."
"Actually, I'm just saving a seat for the younger generation," Yu Wuxue interrupted him and stood up leisurely, "He's coming soon."
As he was speaking, a young man suddenly jumped up from the cliff. He was wearing a Taoist robe from the Feijian Palace and had sharp eyes. He walked up to Yu Wuxue like a gust of wind and said in a loud voice, "Disciple is late, and I am honored to meet you, Master."
Yu Wuxue snorted: "If you don't come, there will be no seat for you."
"What's the harm?" The young man didn't care. "Just take it back."
Yu Wuxue laughed loudly and scolded: "How dare you talk nonsense in front of our seniors!"
The young man obviously did not take this condemnation to heart and sat down in the first seat: "Which senior wants to teach me?"
Seeing this, Zhan Renjie looked unhappy. He turned to Gu Pinglin and said, "Master Gu, what do you think of this boy?"
Gu Pinglin did not answer: "Master Zhan, do you think that Dean Yun will lose?"
Zhan Renjie groaned: "The Feijian Palace is obviously well prepared, but... it is unlikely that they can defeat Dean Yun."
Gu Pinglin said: "Things in the world are ever-changing, nothing is impossible."
The Xuanming Sect and the Feijian Palace have been fighting overtly and covertly for many years, and they are very concerned about each other's news, so they have to secretly inquire about it. This young man is the Feijian Palace's new inner alchemy master in recent years, named Yang Zhao, a disciple of Yu Wuxue. He seldom shows up in public, and occasionally goes out for training with the elders of the palace, and his performance is mediocre. Now it seems that Yu Wuxue deliberately hid him for so many years, just for this discussion meeting.
Zhan Renjie cursed inwardly, "Old Fox," and said, "The Feijian Palace is full of talented people. Juniors have arrived in a hurry. Dean Yun, please don't take advantage of the juniors. We came here to listen to the teachings. Why rush to compete? Let's listen to the teachings of the juniors first."
Unlike Yunhe, he had already guessed the result - since the other party was Yu Wuxue's personal disciple who was cultivated with all his strength, he came well prepared and must be confident of securing the first place. Yunhe would probably suffer a loss, so he immediately handed Yunhe a ladder so that he could step down.
But before Yun He could say anything, Yang Zhao spoke first: "It's not that I'm taking advantage of you. Dean Yun, please teach me. I will learn from you."
Zhan Renjie couldn't laugh anymore.
Although Yun He was domineering, he had lived for so long and had the advantage of experience. When Yang Zhao showed up unexpectedly, he knew that his mind was unstable and his momentum had already been lost. At this moment, he had no chance of winning. It would be better to let others try. So Yun He restrained his sword intention: "Junior Brother Yang is very courageous. Brother Yu and I were old friends sparring. Since you are here, I will leave this opportunity to you younger generations."
Zhan Renjie was worried that he had a stubborn temper and would not listen to advice, so he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
However, Yang Zhao sneered without giving any face.
Yun He was just turning around to return to his seat when he heard the sneer. Veins popped out on his forehead and his eyes turned sinister. Even if there was competition between the sects and families, they still had to leave some room on the surface. If Yu Wuxue had offered his seat, he would not have ridiculed him too much. But now that he was looked down upon by a junior, how could he not be angry
Gu Pinglin also shook his head.
Feijian Palace cultivates the Pure Yang Way, and "arrogance" is the biggest characteristic of Feijian Palace's swordsmanship. As a Feijian Palace disciple, you can be without other things, but you must be arrogant and proud, so most of the Feijian Palace disciples have unpleasant personalities. This Yang Zhao has both talent and a temperament that secretly matches Feijian Palace's swordsmanship. No wonder Yu Wuxue has devoted all its efforts to train him, but it's a pity...
Qi Wan'er was arrogant, but she knew when to retreat; the man in her memory was also very arrogant, but he had enough wisdom and strength; no matter how arrogant other cultivators were, they would hide their true colors in such occasions. Yang Zhao was spotted by Yu Wuxue as soon as he entered Feijian Palace. He was protected too well and did not experience the most difficult training. He did not know the treacherous nature of human hearts, so he developed a arrogant character and offended many people in the palace. If nothing unexpected happened, two years later when Yu Wuxue was in seclusion, Yang Zhao was instigated by his junior brother to break into the mirror image of the Demon Realm alone and die tragically. It was a pity that Yu Wuxue had cultivated him for many years.
The road is full of difficulties, and so is the human heart.
Zhan Renjie naturally would not give up. He asked Yunhe to retreat temporarily, but he wanted to send a few younger disciples to test Yang Zhao's strength first, and then make plans.
Just as Gu Pinglin expected, a disciple of Xuanming Sect came out and said, "Shang Qing is not talented, please teach me, Brother Yang."
The show was about to begin and everyone was waiting to watch it, when suddenly the wind blew outside the cliff.
The wind was strong and cold, but any experienced cultivator could tell that this was definitely not a naturally occurring wind, but a powerful airflow driven by an external force.
Everyone turned around at the same time and looked towards the cliff vigilantly.
Outside the cliff, clouds and mist rose and rolled, and the air currents carried the clouds and mist towards us.
Red and white petals from the trees flew like rain, petals from the ground danced around the feet, and the hair, beards, and robes of everyone present fluttered. The clouds and mist spread quickly, and in a short while they covered the ground and connected to the outside of the cliff to form a vast expanse.
Suddenly, a white light appeared in the sea of clouds!
The light was so dazzling that everyone couldn't help but squint their eyes.
After a while, the light gradually disappeared, and a white sedan appeared out of thin air on the cliff.
The white sedan was very exquisite, and there was still a faint trace of cloud. The walls of the sedan were made of rare ice-cold wood, as smooth as mutton-fat jade. Long white tassels hung from the four corners of the top, swaying gently. Four bearers in white stood beside the sedan. They all looked ordinary, and they must have been disguised.
A corner of the plain white curtain of the sedan chair was lifted up by the air current, and before everyone could see the situation inside the sedan chair clearly, the curtain had fallen down again.
The curtain falls and the wind stops.
In the air, the flying petals suddenly stopped.
---------------
The scene of the discussion meeting where the character collapsed:
Paragraph 6: Turn on the lights and turn the blower to first gear. Pay attention to the special effects in later stage. I cannot show my face, so prepare a sedan chair for me.
Everyone: Why
Duan Liu: Because as long as I’m not around, Gu Jiu will be the top.
Everyone: …
Paragraph 6: Who among you can defeat him
Everyone: …
Qi Wan'er: Since you're not participating, what are you doing here
Duan Liu: Well, I just came here to distribute flyers for Jianwang Pavilion, advertise, and drum up some business.
