In the early years, there was internal strife in the Lingxiao Sword Sect.
Senior brother Mei Wangsu and junior brother Mu Lichen had a huge fight and the internal strife lasted for several years, ruining the bright future of Lingxiao Sword Sect.
The Tianjian Sect gave each of them fifty lashes with the stick and took the two brothers to the Bulao Mountain, each of them was placed in a small dark room. The Lingxiao Sword Sect was thus passed to Lin Buyan, and under the diligent management of this humble gentleman, it returned to the top of the spiritual practice force in Yuezhou.
Because Lin Buyan was wary of the Tianjian Sect and had an ambiguous attitude towards it, Mei Wangsu was recruited and released early on the grounds of good behavior during his sentence. He was often taken to Beijun Mountain by Jing Ji to pose for pictures.
Mu Lichen did not receive such treatment. Lin Buyan's outstanding performance and his connections and reputation in Yuezhou forced the Tianjian Sect to keep a close eye on him.
The person in charge of looking after Mu Lichen was the holder of Da Yantian, the Nine Swords Elder Shao Yi.
Shao Yi was not like this before. She was an abstinence + imprisonment type iceberg. She was in charge of the mountain gate's rules and regulations. She was not personal but objective. Even if the Nine Swords Elders of the same level made mistakes, she would not say a word and never gave anyone face.
Her one-in-a-million talent in swordsmanship and her master who was at the Tribulation Crossing stage were two halos that gave her the confidence to be the cold-faced judge, and also made her exceptionally proud.
When Mu Lichen arrived at the Bulao Mountain, he did not argue, quarrel, or shout about his grievances. Every day he either stayed in seclusion in a small dark room, or sat at the foot of the Tianjian Peak, looking at the wall and comprehending the sword intent.
Mu Lichen had a cold face towards the prison warden Shao Yi. When the two met, it was like an iceberg facing the snowy field, and the people around him shivered with cold.
As we all know, the worst thing in spiritual practice is to work in isolation. The "companion" among the Dharma, wealth, companion and land is indispensable.
As the director of studies, Shao Yi was in charge of the small dark room. She had no shortage of targets to practice on, but there were not many things that could allow her to gain anything from the sword-fighting competition.
At the beginning, Mu Lichen was no match for her. After ten years of comprehending the sword intent and with the aura of his junior brother showing its power, he gradually became able to fight back and forth with Shao Yi.
Fifty years later, without using the Great Yantian, Shao Yi was no match for Mu Lichen.
His swordsmanship heart was shaken, and his one-in-a-million talent in swordsmanship was completely shattered. Shao Yi's arrogance was gone, and gradually, he began to have some different thoughts about Mu Lichen, and the way he addressed him changed from "little kid" to "brother".
In another ten years, maybe it’s time to call him brother.
The knowledge of emotions is too profound, with dangers and traps at every step. Shao Yi fell into it at once when he got involved in it for the first time.
She always responded to Brother Chen's requests and did everything he asked for, just to get a smile. When Mu Lichen wanted to go up to the roof, she set up a ladder for him. When Mu Lichen wanted to borrow the Nine Swords to take a look, she handed over her Da Yan Tian without even thinking about it.
After that, even if she used the Great Yantian, she would not be a match for Mu Lichen.
No matter which angle you look at it from, this is the bad boy PUA dean, ready for his own jailbreak.
Only Shao Yi didn't think so. He was obsessed with Mu Lichen's masculinity and followed him around all day long, asking about his well-being. Even when Da Yantian was manipulated, he just thought that Mu Lichen had outstanding qualifications and was qualified to become the Nine Swords Elder.
At another meeting, the elders discussed replacements, and Shao Yi actually reported Mu Lichen's name.
Although he didn't pass, it shows that his IQ is very low.
Supervising the small dark room was Shao Yi's job, and the other elders had no say. Jing Ji once reminded Shao Yi not to be fooled by Mu Lichen's lies, but was scolded by Shao Yi with a cold face, and he got himself into trouble.
Mu Lichen lived a more comfortable life because of this. He behaved well on weekdays and never showed any signs of escaping from prison. His range of activities further expanded, and gradually, he was able to sweep the floor in front of the armory.
If Shao Yi had been calmer, he would have seen that Mu Lichen had ulterior motives, but...
When the two met, it was Mu Lichen who advised her to calm down.
…
"That's the situation. The man surnamed Mu broke branches and captured flowers. Elder Shao obeyed his orders and his influence even spread to the elders' meeting."
In the armory, Zhan Lexian briefly explained the situation, which stunned Lu Bei. He thought that Mu Lichen suffered a lot in Tianjian Sect, but he never expected that there was someone else who suffered, and that person was a Nine Swords Elder.
As expected of the master's master, he really has something.
All of a sudden, Lu Bei understood. No wonder he had a passive tendency to attract women. His pretty face was quite popular among rich ladies. It must be inherited from his master.
After figuring out the key, Lu Bei felt relieved. The mountain sect's inheritance was not his fault, and the guilt of being a scumbag was swept away.
There are not many collections in Dayue Peak's armory. The first floor contains the core skills of the Tianjian Sect.
The Song of the Nine Swords, The Divine Incantation of the Tianchi Lake, The Sword Canon of the Relics, Miscellaneous Essays on Swordsmanship of Various Countries...
Most of these techniques were written by the first generation of the Nine Swordsmen. Except for a book on sword techniques of various countries, the rest have little to do with the Qili Sutra. The latter founded the Tianjian Sect after realizing the Immortal Sword Intention. He never mentioned what techniques he had practiced before. If he didn't tell them, the nine disciples would never know.
There is not much to say about the Nine Swords Song; the Nine Swords’ sword intent is all contained in it.
The Tianchi Divine Mantra Scripture contains 200 additional skills. Previously, the three sword talismans that Bai Jin left on Lu Bei originated from this book.
The Shiyi Sword Canon was jointly compiled by the first generation of nine swordsmen. It contains dozens of sword intents, both large and small, covering many major sword cultivation forces in and outside the Wu Zhou territory. As long as the sword intent with a little fame was forcibly included in this book.
Miscellaneous Poems on Swordsmanship of Various Countries is quite impressive. It is a diary compiled by Qi Lijing while he traveled around the world with a sword. It records the sword intent and swordsmanship he recognized, laying a solid foundation for his later comprehension of the immortal sword intent.
In addition, Lu Bei also found a copy of the remaining fragments of the Heavenly Book.
In the first floor, in addition to the skills, there are more than ten bottles and jars, all of which are unique elixirs and are extremely precious.
Under the boasting of his guide Zhan Lexian, Lu Bei picked up a bottle of "Sword Enlightenment Pill" and drank it in one gulp.
The effect was average. The Changchong sword intent increased by two levels, the Wenqing sword intent increased by ten levels, and the experience of the Immortal sword intent did not increase much, only 500 million.
"That's it?"
Lu Bei looked disgusted, threw away the porcelain bottle in his hand, and waved his hand: "Give me ten more bottles."
"… "
Zhan Lexian was stunned, pointing at Lu Bei tremblingly, and trembling, "I said it's a unique product, and the refining formula has been lost. How could you eat it all in one breath? Hurry... spit out a few pills now while there's still time."
"No, I've digested it."
"Don't try to fool me. How can it be so fast?"
Zhan Lexian widened his eyes, refusing to believe it, and thought that Lu Bei had hidden the elixir in his personal space.
Lu Bei snorted twice and slapped Zhan Lexian's shaking hand away: "How dare you! How can a little elder give orders to my master? Tell me, what are the effects of the other pills?"
Zhan Lexian was full of frustration and reluctantly introduced the items. Apart from a bottle of sword-making pill that upgraded Lu Bei's sword body by five levels, the other pills were basically useless.
Either to improve the quality of the sword, or to hone the sword's heart and strengthen the sword's spirit, or to eradicate the evil thoughts in the body and protect the spiritual platform...
"Just an average guy. I thought this place was so impressive."
Lu Bei curled his lips, sounding quite disappointed. He waved his hand and swept away all the porcelain bottles in the cupboard.
No matter how disappointed you are, you still have to move. After all, coming empty-handed is extremely rude. If you leave empty-handed, do you still have any moral bottom line
People cannot, or at least should not, especially when it comes to propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, which should be taken seriously.
Zhan Lexian was so sad that he finally understood why his master Qin Fangtian used the excuse to run away, but what could he do? As a disciple, he could not disobey orders, so he had to continue leading the way.
On the second floor, there are more than ten divine weapons hidden in the armory. Except for the swords made by the elders together and nine empty sword boxes, the origins of the rest are unknown.
In this regard, Zhan Lexian could explain that he neither stole nor robbed the weapons, but just picked them up by chance.
Lu Bei also often picked up treasures outside, sometimes in the hands of the owners, sometimes next to the owners' bodies. Knowing that Zhan Lexian was telling the truth, he did not mock him. He waved his hand, took away the magic weapons, and let him continue to lead the way.
The third level of the armory is a treasure house within a treasure house. Even the Nine Sword Elders are not qualified to open it. Only three sword cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage are qualified to enter, and the key is their iron sword token.
Zhan Lexian took out the iron sword token, with an expression of pilgrimage on his face. He pressed the iron sword token into the groove with a humble demeanor and opened the stone door in front of him.
Boom—
Soft light shone down, and a dormitory appeared in front of Lu Bei.
A luminous pearl hangs on the roof, illuminating the entire stone chamber. On the left side is a stone bed, and on the right side is a huge stone table, on which pens, ink, paper and inkstone are sealed, having remained intact for thousands of years.
He took a few steps forward and flipped through the drawings with strange sword shapes. On the last page, he saw the word "Immortality".
The tip of the brush is like a sword, stinging the eyes. The mind sinks into it, and there is infinite mysterious sword intent outlining the space.
Using the sword as a brush and ink, he created a small world. His cultivation was so profound that Lu Bei was secretly shocked. He knew without thinking that this was Qi Lijing's calligraphy.
The small world is simple in construction, with a round sky and a square earth, and four sharp swords inserted in it, like pillars supporting the sky and connecting the earth. It seems like a man-made secret place, and although it has no vitality, it is also an entity.
Lu Bei pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and emptied the stone table.
That's right, he even moved the table.
Zhan Lexian lowered his head and coughed up blood, saying that he was deeply sinful. Lu Bei was too lazy to pay attention to him. He searched everywhere and found a piece of iron behind a hidden mechanism in the wall.
bite!
[You come into contact with [Heavenly Book·Fragments], do you spend 30,000 skill points to learn it?]
[Main quest: Collection. For every fragment of the heavenly book found, progress +1, reward 10 E experience points]
“Great!”
Lu Bei narrowed his eyes and subconsciously let out a hearty laugh. If he hadn't covered his mouth in time, his true face would have been exposed on the spot.
"Is that all? What about the other relics that the ancestor left to the successor, that is, this sect master?"
"I don't know." Zhan Lexian shook his head.
Qi Lijing was dressed in cloth and owned an ordinary iron sword. He had no pursuit for material enjoyment, so this bedroom was used as a quiet room. After ascending to heaven, the first generation of the Nine Swords moved it to the deepest part of the treasury.
When Zhan Lexian entered the mountain gate, his bedroom had been hidden in the treasury for many years and he did not know the details.
"That's right. With your status and position, knowing too much would be a problem."
As Lu Bei said those words that made Zhan Lexian vomit blood, he raised his hand and spread out his five fingers, releasing the immortal sword intent, and fumbled around the bed, trying to find the secret door.
What he didn't know was that while he was manipulating it, the ground at Tianjian Peak started to shake and rumble towards his direction.
