"Sure enough... Sir, you are not an ordinary golden elixir."
Ling Shuangxue looked at Luo Wusheng with a strange look in her eyes: "... Sir, you guessed right. I came to Jianyang City for a Heavenly Rank Sword Ghost."
Luo Wusheng's expression did not change, because the answer was the same as what he had guessed in his heart.
The fact that the fairy opposite him directly admitted that her target was the Heavenly Rank Sword Ghost did surprise him a little.
His mind raced and his eyes flashed.
"The fairy needs my help to subdue the sword ghost..."
At this point, he frowned again: "The Heavenly Sword Ghost's cultivation is roughly equivalent to that of an early Nascent Soul cultivator. Although he can display greater power against a sword cultivator as an opponent, with the fairy's cultivation, it should be more than enough to deal with him alone... Is the fairy in a different state?"
"Um."
Ling Shuangxue suppressed her surprise and nodded gently: "I got injured on the way to Jianyang City. Now if I just deal with the sword ghost, it may be no problem, but..."
“… there is someone behind.”
Luo Wusheng uttered four words lightly, and he had already roughly understood the situation.
Based on the information that the sturdy man revealed today, intentionally or unintentionally, he was able to sort out the general situation after a brief connection.
Ling Shuangxue on the opposite side poured another cup of sword-nourishing tea for Luo Wusheng and pushed it to his table.
"The sword ghost is now in Jianyang Mountain outside Jianyang City. Several teams led by Yuanying Early Stage have surrounded Jianyang Mountain. However, they are all worried about the Heavenly Rank Sword Ghost's [Sword Soul Collapse] technique. Each team is on guard against each other, so no one has taken action yet."
“… What you just said is correct. I really want to ask you for help.”
"As for the reward..."
Ling Shuangxue closed her eyes slightly, but patted the storage bag at her waist.
A simple small box with a sword pattern fell on the table.
Chapter 235 I really like Mr....
Ling Shuangxue tapped her fingers lightly, and the small box with sword patterns opened gently, revealing what was inside.
It was a small incense stick with mysterious patterns printed on it, faintly emitting a wonderful scent.
“… Wu Jianxiang.”
Ling Shuangxue's voice sounded softly: "This is something that the Sword Pavilion obtained from the secret realm of the ancient Heavenly Palace Sword Department. After burning incense, you can follow the mystery in it and let your spiritual consciousness be in a fantasy realm of sword enlightenment. Once the incense is burned out, it is like ten years of sword enlightenment."
She only explained the function of the things in her hands, but did not mention their preciousness.
This piece of sword-enlightenment incense was obtained as a reward from the sect after she was promoted to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Even within the Sword Pavilion, the number of Sword Enlightenment Incense held was extremely limited... An ordinary Sword Pavilion disciple who was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage and became the head of a peak could only obtain half a stick.
The half that she had obtained in the past had already been used when she became the head of Frost Snow Peak.
After all, she was devoted to swordsmanship at that time, so she would not miss the opportunity to learn sword skills.
But this time, after being promoted to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, she obtained a whole stick of Sword Enlightenment Incense, and she no longer had the intention of using it.
Because her path is different from the past path of focusing on sword enlightenment. If she only stays with the sword in the illusion for ten years, it will go against her current sword path.
As for handing it over to her own disciple... Ling Shuangxue had originally planned to do so. She would just wait for her disciple to return after the Human Immortal Ranking competition, and then give it to him as a reward, and then personally help him to protect and comprehend the sword.
But now she has changed her mind.
(Compared to Wu Jianxiang, Tianjie Sword Ghost is more important to Yu Li now, and...)
The appearance of the young man opposite was reflected in Ling Shuangxue's eyes, which contained a gentleness like water.
If that could be confirmed, I wouldn't feel the slightest bit sorry even if I gave a single stick of Wujian incense to the young gentleman in front of me, right
On the other side, Luo Wusheng showed surprise in his eyes after hearing the explanation.
Coincidentally, he actually knew about Wu Jian Xiang.
In the original work, before the Sword Fairy went to the Ancient Heaven, she received such a sword-enlightening incense from her icy beauty master whom she had conquered...
Thinking of the effects described in the original work and the preciousness of this item, Luo Wusheng looked at the woman opposite him, his heart pounding.
Isn't this too much to give? In some cases, the value of this sword-enlightening incense is almost as much as that of a Heavenly Sword Ghost that appears only once in who knows how many years... In the original work, Xiao Yuli relied on her sword talent to achieve perfection in the sword-enlightening ten years, so that she could practice the secret sword pill method that no one had practiced in the sword pavilion for who knows how many years.
And now there is such a thing in front of me...
To be honest, Luo Wusheng had no reason not to be moved.
If you obtain this Sword Enlightenment Incense, it will be of great benefit whether you use it yourself or give it to Miss Sword Fairy.
Giving it to Xiao Yuli would help him complete his plan to speed up the little girl's progress again... plus the twenty years of sword training given by her master, maybe the little girl's upgrade speed would increase again.
Well, although the goal of reaching immortality in one year is still a bit far-fetched.
If you use it yourself...
Luo Wusheng's eyes flickered, but he retracted his gaze and slowly drank the sword-nourishing tea on his table.
"The fairy did offer me a reward that I couldn't refuse... But I would like to know more about this matter."
… …
In the short period of time that followed, Luo Wusheng learned the details of the sword ghost hunting incident from Ling Shuangxue.
The exact time when this Heavenly Grade Sword Ghost appeared is unknown, and it is also unclear who first discovered it, so that several teams that are now encircling and suppressing this Sword Ghost have all received the news.
After a tentative fight among several teams, the sword ghost entered the Jianyang Mountain area outside Jianyang City.
Jianyang Mountain has a special terrain with many strange rocks and spiritual plants. In addition, sword cultivators lack large-scale spells. The group of people are worried that too much noise will cause changes, and they are unwilling to use up their spiritual power to force out the Sword Ghost for others. Therefore, if they want to capture the Sword Ghost, they need to enter Jianyang Mountain.
But there is still a problem here.
The Heavenly Grade Sword Ghost, which only appears once in who knows how many years, has one more new skill than the Human Grade and Earth Grade Sword Ghosts.
Collapse of sword soul.
This was a strike that used up all of the Heavenly Sword Ghost's strength. After this strike, he would be at the mercy of others... But this strike was also the reason why the teams that were besieging the Sword Ghost were reluctant to take action.
The sword soul collapsed, the sword heart fell, and the sword intention was in chaos.
If a sword cultivator faces this attack directly from the Heavenly Rank Sword Ghost, even one in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul will be injured. The sword heart of an ordinary Nascent Soul sword cultivator will even be cracked. Moreover, the higher the sword intent, the greater the impact will be, and finally backfire due to the confusion of sword intent.
Even if it is a mid-stage Nascent Soul that is in perfect condition, it will still need some recovery after taking this blow.
Especially since this was a range attack that made quite a lot of noise... It could be said that if one was not prepared or did not have sufficient strength to suppress it, with multiple teams waiting in the wings, then one would almost certainly be left to take advantage of the situation.
Luo Wusheng understood everything.
These are the reasons why the injured Sword Pavilion Fairy is looking for someone to form a team.
"But... why me?"
Luo Wusheng raised his eyes and looked across, meeting Ling Shuangxue's eyes above her veil.
This should be the first time that I meet the woman in front of me. Even if she is really looking for someone with sufficient strength, isn't it too hasty to find me, a stranger
Although I do have a good-looking appearance and seem very reliable, it is a bit too much to trust myself like this...
"Because I like your story very much."
Luo Wusheng was slightly stunned.
He was somewhat surprised by the sincere answer from the Sword Pavilion Fairy opposite him, but he soon thought of something.
(It turns out that telling stories can increase your favorability so much...)
There was something strange in his eyes.
He had felt before that this girl was much nicer to him than when they first met... She had taken the initiative to drive away the troublemakers in the teahouse, and now she was refilling him with cup after cup of the expensive sword-nourishing tea without any regret.
It shouldn't be that difficult if we just look for collaborators.
Apart from that, the only contact between me and the other party is the story I told today.
Luo Wusheng felt a little sad.
So, when you are in the world, having more skills to make a living is different.
(But I always feel that the stories I made up have a good effect on the people of Jianzhou. They are popular in Jianyang City, and they can also make Xiao Yuli like me when I tell them. Now this beautiful fairy from Jiange seems to be quite fond of them...)
Thinking about it this way, if I meet Xiao Yuli's master in the future, why not try telling a few stories to improve his favor
Well, let me think about it again.
Judging from the character of the icy beauty master in the original work, the first difficulty is to get the other party to listen to her story... I guess only if Xiao Yuli tells the story herself, will the master listen, right
Without thinking about it anymore, Luo Wusheng smiled.
"Thank you for your kindness, Fairy... In this case, I will lend a helping hand to you this time."
Chapter 236: I want to hear the story from you (Part 2)
Luo Wusheng's consent came after much consideration.
The first and most important point is... he is very free now.
The short-term goal is to collect all the divine points in front of others and give yourself a powerful hand.
It sounds like a difficult task indeed, but unfortunately when it comes to performance, I end up being a storyteller in a teahouse.
As he had thought before, if he wanted to quickly collect enough points to show his divine power in front of others, he had to choose to participate in some eye-catching events.
Just like when he survived the catastrophe in the spotlight and slew the rat demon live...
It was a pity that on the night of the monster-slaying, he had not yet acquired the function to store the divine value in front of others, otherwise the scene of himself turning into light twice that day would have been enough to fill up the unparalleled progress bar of the formless magic weapon once more.
And now, a new storm has emerged.
The Heavenly Tribulation Sword Ghost incident... What a great opportunity to gain divine value in front of others.
Unfortunately, if the matter is exposed, it will be more difficult to succeed. There are only a few teams outside Jianyang Mountain. Even if I can perform a perfect manifestation, the value of the manifestation in front of others should be limited...
However, when the time comes to really start hunting the sword ghost, the noise made should attract nearby monks, so there is still hope of increasing one's own saintliness value in front of others.
As long as you do this, no matter what the outcome is, you will not lose out.
and…
Looking at the beautiful fairy in front of him who showed a hint of joy in her eyes because of his nod of agreement, Luo Wusheng nodded secretly.
Apart from anything else, it would be nice to have a good relationship with this wealthy fairy from Jiange who has a high level of cultivation.
Judging from the magnanimity of this move, I might be able to trade a lot of high-level resources needed by sword cultivators from the other party... In this way, my plan to cultivate Xiao Yuli can be launched normally.
(But I’m still a little curious about her true identity in Jian Ge… Most of the Yuanying masters are from the generation of Xiao Yuli’s uncles, right? There are quite a few Jianfeng masters in Jian Ge, so it’s hard to say what her relationship with Xiao Yuli’s peak is…)
Their relationship shouldn't be that bad, but judging from his personality, he doesn't seem to have any dealings with that icy beauty master.
There is no corresponding description in the original work. It is estimated that he is a headmaster who is not familiar with Miss Jianxian and her apprentice.
However, judging from the current performance of this beautiful fairy, she should have good intentions towards me.
Thanks for the excellent literary accomplishment.
While Luo Wusheng was still sighing in his heart, Ling Shuangxue opposite him had already calmed down after slightly pulling up her veil and taking a sip of tea.
"Then... without further ado, let's talk about the strategy that you and I should adopt at that time..."
… …
Luo Wusheng and Ling Shuangxue talked for quite some time.
When the teahouse was about to close, they simply paid a small amount of spirit stones and decided to borrow the teahouse for a night.
After all, both of them just arrived in Jianyang City today and had not decided on where to stay for the night. With their cultivation levels, they did not have a strong need to sleep... Luo Wusheng was reluctant to drink the sword-nourishing tea, and Ling Shuangxue had some ideas of her own, so the two of them hit it off and the plan was finalized.
The borrowing process went smoothly, with no problems except for the shopkeeper's somewhat strange look.
Finally, the two of them discussed until nightfall and finally finalized the plan for their temporary team to hunt the sword ghost.
The implementation time is set directly for tomorrow.
The main purpose is to avoid any complications. There is no middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the team preparing to hunt the Sword Ghost yet. We still have an advantage, but if time drags on, the situation may not be certain.
I believe other teams also have this idea, but no one is willing to be the first to take action for the time being.
