C56 (1/2)
In just a few days, the black clothed man gave me a pill. I found some records of it in the White Jade Sect's library and verified its effects. This pill is called Immortal Spirit Pill, and it has no other uses, but it contains an enormous amount of spiritual energy. There was no other reason. The large amount of spiritual energy didn't explode just once, but slowly leaked out, so it wouldn't cause any harm to the body. Also, the spiritual energy inside the pill was very thick, so it could help to form a spirit pill.
In the past few days, whenever I had the time, I would meditate and cultivate, slowly absorbing the spiritual energy within. The elixir pills had indeed strengthened by a bit, and now, they were the size of an adult male's fist.
I spent most of my time in the Compendium Pavilion, searching for some information on pills and spirit artifacts. The trip to the Sky Sect made me realize that my understanding towards pills and spirit artifacts was completely inadequate. I still have some time before I leave the sword faction for my marriage. This time is more than enough for me to make up for my lack of knowledge.
I'm twenty-four years old this year, and I'm still quite clueless about marriage. In the past in the Peace Village, when I saw those adults getting married, I was naturally extremely happy, but it was because I was able to eat the candy. When I was playing around with my family when I was young, I even played the role of groom and bride with Xiao Yu once. However, this time, I am not playing around. If Shen Tianlan wanted to be at ease and send out his beloved daughter, he would definitely come up with some test questions just as Lan Yun had said. But I'm not afraid, there's the White Jade Gate behind me, and Pu Xuan and the rest of us can't wait for the two families to come together and help me. Moreover, because of this, Pu Xuan even asked the Sect Leader for a spiritual tool called the blade!
The blade was five feet two inches long, its body was very light, and it was very thin, almost translucent. From this, the name Hidden Blade was hidden, and it was also called Hidden Blade. When spirit energy was channeled into the blade, it only felt the wind of the blade, not the shadow of it.
Carrying a hidden saber on my back, my confidence increases by leaps and bounds. The sharpness of this saber is something that I have tried before.
Arriving at the sword faction mountain gate, Pu Xuan raised his head to look at the sword summit, greed flashed across his eyes, and he loudly said: ”White Jade Gate's Pu Xuan, bring disciple Chen Ziming, come pay a visit to your esteemed sect, please open your doors wide for me!”
The echoes were vast, and a few moments later several people flew out, greeted each other, and led us in.
There was only one mountain in the sword sect, and there were not many disciples in the sword sect, only a little more than a hundred people. However, all of them had surging spirit energy and were not much weaker than the person who had died in the Sky Sect. Moreover, the sword faction only had one sect master. The rest were all disciples without an elder position, so it could be said that they had sole authority.
The White Jade Sect's strength is clearly above the Sword Sect's, therefore, as an elder of the White Jade Sect, Shen Tian Lan had long since brought his beloved daughter, Shen Lan Yun, out to welcome them. As the two of them greeted each other, Lan Yun's eyes were always on me.
Just as the two of us were making eye contact, Shen Tianlan let out a light cough. It's unknown if it was because he couldn't bear to see the numbness between us anymore, or because he really had something to say.
”Cough cough, my nephew is young, but is a genius on the surface. The journey to the Sky Sect has made him even more famous. Since my daughter has given her permission, although I am unwilling, I naturally can't stop her. But for my daughter's happiness, this small test is still necessary.”
Hearing this, I did not care about it at all, and felt that it was only natural. However, Pu Xuan was not happy, and snorted lightly: ”I believe that with Ziming's strength, Sect Master Shen should have seen it while he was still in the Sky Sect. Moreover, he even saved his beloved daughter's life.
Looking at Shen Tian Lan's slightly embarrassed expression, I knew that at this moment, I can't let my future father-in-law become too ugly, so I stood up and bowed, ”Master, Shen …” Uncle, this disciple has something to say. ”
”Speak!”
”Nephew, please speak!”
”Disciple feels that Uncle's words are very reasonable! When I was in the Sky Sect, only a few people saw the strength of the disciples. But now, if all the sword faction disciples see the abilities of the disciples, and believe that I can protect Lan'er, then the disciples will not only take away Lan'er, they will also receive the blessings of the entire sword faction! ”
Shen Tian Lan nodded her head repeatedly before she could finish listening. Although Pu Xuan didn't express anything, his eyes were filled with praise. It was as if this foolish disciple had started to understand something, and Lan Yun, who was at the side, was even happier.
Since they had come to an agreement, Shen Tianlan announced that tomorrow would be the day of the test. The test involved a very simple matter, the Sword Peak's Cloud-Stepping Flower.
It could be said that it was a kind of sword flower. If when forging a sword, at this stage of quenching, the juice of the Cloud Stepping Flower was added into the water, allowing the sword to contain the innate sword qi, it could just be considered a type of spirit sword. With a little nurturing, it would become a complete spirit sword.
However, the sword peak was so high that it pierced through the clouds. The higher it went, the more sharp the sword qi it could withstand. When it reached a certain height, the sword qi would cut through the skin and even injure some of the vital points of the body. The reason why Shen Tianlan set this test is actually because he wanted me to suppress all of the Sword Sect disciples with my cultivation. Because on the sword peak, all of the Cloud-Stepping Flowers that could be harvested have already been harvested, unless I could reach a height that other disciples could not reach, and I still had to rely on a certain amount of luck.
Pu Xuan should know something, but he didn't say anything. It seems like he is quite confident in my strength.
After chatting for a little while longer, Shen Tianlan and Pu Xuan walked into the inner hall. They said that they wanted to discuss the details of the wedding and that Lan Yun would take me to visit the sword faction.
I sneered in my heart. This Shen Tianlan was not an easy target, he was a cunning fox, if I'm not wrong, they had entered to discuss a cooperation against the Sky Sect. His daughter, Lan Yun, had openly loved him very much, but he could still be considered half a sacrifice.
Lan Yun, on the other hand, didn't think about this. He pulled my hand and led me out to look around.
There are very few female disciples in the sword faction, only a few people. When Lan Yun was taking me on a stroll, there were quite a few people pointing and pointing, with faces full of anger. It seems like these are the people who usually adore Lan Yun, but Lan Yun doesn't know why he doesn't take a fancy to them.
”Ignore them, let's go this way!”
”It seems that they also admire you. Before you met me, did you not have anyone that you liked?”
Staring at me, Lan Yun said in a low voice, ”The people I like are the kind of people that can protect me and protect the entire sword faction. They are so weak, so how could they do this?”
Lan Yun thought that I would protect her and the sword faction, but he never would have thought that the me that she trusted the most was the person who pulled the sword faction into a bloody dispute.
As he was speaking, he saw five or six people appear in front of him. When they saw me looking as if they wanted to eat my flesh and blood, a handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and a sword in hand shouted at Lan Yun, ”Junior Sister, you can't marry him!”
