In a room in the inn, Lu Yu was sitting cross-legged on a futon. Playing with a green spirit stone in his hand, this spirit stone is a wind spirit stone, which he bought at the free market today at the price of ten middle-grade spirit stones, and he bought as many as ten pieces in one go. As a result, there are only a dozen middle-grade spirit stones left on his body.
Wind spirit stone is a special spirit stone. It can improve the speed and agility of weapons and armor. Lu Yu intends to integrate this wind spirit stone into his sword, so that his flying speed with the sword can be at least doubled. Lu Yu put the wind spirit stone into the storage bag, and took out some materials for a closer look.
Finally, Lu Yu carefully took out a shiny black stone from the storage bag. Lu Yu carefully observed the stone in his hand. Apart from giving himself some strange feelings, it seemed that there was nothing special about it. Suddenly, there was another shock in the middle layer of my arms.
"It seems that the mysterious ring and this black stone must be related." Lu Yu whispered to himself.
Lu Yu carefully took out the ring from his arms. Lu Yu put the ring in front of his eyes and looked carefully, only to see a faint black air lingering around the ring. The faint breath of this black air is very similar to the feeling of touching a stone.
"Could it be... is this ring made of this stone?" Lu Yu guessed in his heart.
Suddenly, a lot of black air appeared on the black stone, which was much stronger than that of the ring. When the black air condenses into the thickness of a hemp rope, it slowly floats away like a ring. The ring sucked the black air into the ring as if it was alive.
Lu Yu stared at the ring in his hand, frowning. He had never seen such a scene, and he had never heard of it. However, looking at the black air should not be a good sign. Lu Yu slowly took out a red blood sword from the storage bag and held it in his hand. This sword was successfully made by Lu Yu earlier and kept for his own use, and he had never taken it out. In front of people, he has always used a fine steel sword. Such a situation made Lu Yu feel very strange and dangerous.
Time passed by every minute and every second. There was a strange scene in the room. I saw Lu Yu holding the ring with his left hand, holding up the red blood sword with his right hand, staring at the ring motionlessly. As for the ring, it kept absorbing the black air emanating from the stone.
After another cup of tea, the black air no longer gushed out from the stone. The surface of the stone has also become dull. It seems that the black gas has been used up. Lu Yu, on the other hand, stared at the ring without blinking, and saw a cloud of black air slowly floating out of the ring, slowly condensing into a black human shape. Immediately afterwards, eyes, ears, mouth and nose appeared. Until finally he turned into a middle-aged man in a green shirt, his figure looked a little thin.
"Are you?" Lu Yu wanted to ask, are you a ghost? But the words came to his mouth, but he didn't say them. Lu Yu has read books about ghosts since he was a child, and he is not as afraid of ghosts as ordinary people.
"I am?" The middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes, a trace of confusion flashed in his deep eyes, then he looked around again, lowered his head to think for a while, and finally raised his head to look at Lu Yu, Lu Yu was swept away by his gaze Pass. Immediately, I felt as if I had been seen through from the inside out.
"Your name is Lu Yu." The middle-aged man said.
"Yes. Then what's your name?" Lu Yuping looked at the middle-aged man, but the scarlet blood sword in his hand had been infused with mana.
Faintly emitting a faint white light.
"Me? I don't know what my name should be now." The middle-aged man smiled. It seemed that he didn't care about Lu Yu's vigilance.
"What do you mean?" Lu Yu became curious after hearing this. The man in front of him felt a little weird to him, obviously exuding a cold air, but his heart was not as resistant as before.
"To be precise, I'm not a human being. I'm just half of a remnant soul." The middle-aged man seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him, with a calm tone.
"Why are you in the ring? What are your plans?" Lu Yu didn't care whether the other party was human or not.
"Attempt? I do have this." The middle-aged man replied very openly. When Lu Yu heard this, he clenched the Scarlet Blood Sword a little more, and fixed his eyes on the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn't care about Lu Yu's posture of defending against the enemy. He paced slowly in the room and said with a smile: "As for why I am in this ring. It's very simple, because this ring itself is mine?"
After hearing this, Lu Yu froze for a moment, but did not answer.
"I have been watching you since the first time you took the ring out of the fine iron." The middle-aged man glanced at Lu Yu and continued. "I like your style of doing things very much. Be cautious, have a good sense of spirit, and have a high understanding. Although your qualifications are extremely poor, this is not very important."
"It's not important to have poor qualifications?" Lu Yu heard this point of view for the first time. However, in his opinion, qualifications are too important. Liu Yiyi only meditated for one night before reaching the second floor of the Swordsman, while she had to eat more than twenty bottles of Guiyuan Pill to get there.
"You have this ring, spirit stone, and a lot of pills, don't you? With the guidance of a master teacher like me, what's so important about this aptitude?" The middle-aged man replied indifferently.
"Uh...you..." Lu Yu felt that the person in front of him was very similar to the charlatan his grandfather Zeng Jin told him.
"Hmph... You ignorant junior. Do you know how many masters wanted to worship me as registered disciples back then." The middle-aged man snorted coldly.
"Why did you accept me as an apprentice?" Lu Yu directly asked the most critical question. According to what the other party said, he was the last owner of this ring, so his ability must not be small. There is no such good thing in the world if such a powerful person wants to be his master.
"As I said before, I am a half-remnant soul. The condition for me to take you as my apprentice is that you avenge me." When the middle-aged man said this, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a gritted teeth. expression.
"Revenge? Why do you think I will worship you as your teacher?" Lu Yu calmed down a bit after knowing what the other party really meant, and asked calmly.
"Oh?" The middle-aged man glanced at Lu Yu with a half-smile. Then he said sarcastically: "You kid, do you really think that you sell so many weapons in batches, and no one really notices you?"
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Yu faintly felt something was wrong.
"It's nothing interesting. It's just that when you just came back, I found two little guys following you sneakily. Now, there is still a person watching at the door of the inn." The middle-aged man said calmly , and grasped it with his hand, and suddenly a small jade slip appeared in his hand. Then casually threw it to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu held the jade slip in his hand suspiciously. Suddenly, the scene of him coming back from Zifangfang City appeared in front of his eyes. However, the white mist on the pedestrians on the road has dissipated, and they all showed their original figures and appearances. Not far behind Lu Yu, there were two men in black robes following closely behind him, following them all the way to the back of the inn. Only one person left, and one person was still lingering at the door of the inn.
After Lu Yu finished reading the jade slips, he didn't speak immediately. Instead, she came to the window and quietly pushed the window open a crack. Looking along the gap, there was indeed a man covered in white mist leaning against a tree at the entrance of the inn, staring at the entrance of the inn.
Lu Yu now completely believes that he has been targeted. Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Yu turned to look at the middle-aged man. He asked calmly: "It's okay for me to take you as my teacher. However, I still have a few questions to know first."
The middle-aged man was not surprised when he heard this, and said calmly, "I can answer your three questions."
"Why did you choose me?" Lu Yu had already thought about the question before blurting out.
"It's not that I chose you, it's all arranged in the dark. Tens of thousands of years ago, half of my remnant soul wore a ring, exhausted its soul power, fled to this place, and then escaped into a piece of refined iron. In the mine vein, I sealed myself. If you hadn't broken the seal with blood by coincidence a few months ago. If it wasn't for this, I would still be sleeping now." The middle-aged man recalled.
"So that's the case. Then what kind of strong man are you, to have such a heaven-defying ring? What is in this ring?" Lu Yu asked.
"This is two problems." The middle-aged man reminded.
"Well. Just these two questions." Lu Yu nodded. This was the first time in his life that he was apprenticed to a teacher, so he couldn't help feeling a little bit hopeful. As for the ring, Lu Yu was even more curious. It could change the success rate of the refining weapon, which was obviously an existence against the sky.
"My realm is so high that you can't imagine. It's the highest realm." The middle-aged man said proudly.
Lu Yu was a little excited. According to his previous understanding, cultivation was divided into swordsman, sword spirit, sword master, sword emperor, and sword emperor. The middle-aged man actually said that he is the highest realm, could it be that he is already a peerless powerhouse in the emperor realm.
"Sword Emperor? You are actually a senior in the Emperor Realm." Lu Yu said a little excitedly.
"What? Emperor realm? How could I be such a low-level existence. I am the master of the sword domain, the realm of the sword god." The middle-aged man said this, faintly giving people a feeling of looking down on all living beings.
After listening, Lu Yu looked at the middle-aged man in astonishment. The middle-aged man originally thought that when he said this, Lu Yu would scream excitedly, or immediately kneel down in front of him and bow to his teacher. As a result, Lu Yu didn't behave as he expected, but looked at him in astonishment.
"Boy, why are you looking at me like that?" the middle-aged man asked strangely.
"Uh... What is the realm of the Sword God? I've never heard of it." Lu Yu replied honestly.
"Ah? You don't know this? It seems that you are really ignorant. Let me tell you, there are three other realms behind the sword emperor realm you mentioned, namely the sword master, sword master, and sword god." Middle-aged The man looked at Lu Yu with disdain and said.
"But according to the sect's classics, Sword Emperor is already the highest level. It has never been mentioned that there is another level behind." Lu Yu explained.
"Impossible. I have only been sealed for tens of thousands of years. How could this realm change so much." The middle-aged man looked disbelieving. He asked again: "Sword Domain, you should know about it, right?"
"I know this. The Sword Realm is an endless star field composed of countless planets. And those of us who practice in the Sword Realm will have sword spirit roots."
"Since you know the sword domain, you should know who the master of the sword domain is, right?" the middle-aged man continued to ask.
"The Lord of the Sword Domain. I have never seen this word in any classics." Lu Yu replied.
"Impossible..." The middle-aged man kept repeating this sentence, his face full of anger.
Lu Yu didn't bother to explain anything to this old antique from ten thousand years ago. In case this person gets offended, I have nothing good to eat. Thinking of this, I quickly said: "When you come back to the sect with me, you can naturally go and see those classics for yourself."
"Okay, the old man must go and read those so-called classics." The middle-aged man calmed down slowly, but still gritted his teeth.
