As spring comes and summer goes, autumn comes and winter leaves, the three cultivators can often be seen on Ziyun Peak, with sharp sword lights, dancing branches, and flying stones.

In the past two years, Li Xiulin has been practicing the Shenxing Sword day by day, and has achieved some success. His sword is so sharp that he can cut leaves out of thin air, and wielding the Folding Shadow Sword can break stone and cut iron.

In the past two years, Li Xiulin's biggest pastime was to take out the pen and ink he had brought with him when he left home. During his free time during practice, he would write down his feelings from time to time. Or he would write down his sentiments and ambitions, "When we share the country together in the future, we will boil green plums and discuss the characters."

, or the lyrical expression of "Flying flowers are as light as dreams, the cold smoke flows into the water", or the forced melancholy of "No one laughs when drinking in Qingyi, ten years of lovesickness has turned into hatred", or the forced melancholy

But there is a common scene. Whenever Li Xiulin finishes writing something, before he can put it away, a figure comes over and grabs it to take a closer look. Although he may not necessarily sympathize with him, this figure always

He does this kind of thing tirelessly. This figure is naturally the most naughty and mischievous little junior sister on Ziyun Peak. Once the little junior sister grabs it, she will always shake her head and write out what is written on the paper with great emotion.

The sound was read out, and when Li Xiulin heard this sound, his head always felt hot, and he felt like the world was turning upside down. He couldn't even think of grabbing the paper back, so he just lowered his head and practiced swordplay far away in order to get rid of it.

That was an extremely shameful sound. Whenever this happened, there would always be the silver bell-like laughter of the younger junior sister, the helpless and distressed sigh of Zhao Ran, and a red-faced sword-dancing figure on Ziyun Peak.

This is also a great pleasure on Ziyun Peak.

And apart from these leisure moments, whenever Li Xiulin was dancing her sword without any distractions, there would always be a pair of bright eyes looking over cautiously. Li Xiulin never noticed that she was practicing swordsmanship and spiritual power with abandon.

Two years later, he had not just glimpsed the cultivation of Qi Ning, but had reached the third level of Qi Ning. His strength was countless times more powerful than before, and he also had divine sword skills. However, he knew that this was not the case two years ago.

That person was still far behind, let alone today, so he didn't dare to slack off.

In the past two years, the junior sister has also reached the third level of Qi Condensation, and Zhao Ran, who is less talented, has also reached the second level of Qi Condensation. The three of them have their own special skills.

Li Xiulin's magical swordsmanship is known for its speed and sharpness, and is very powerful; the Wood Heart Technique practiced by the younger junior sister is not very powerful in attack, but it can entangle and control opponents, and can also restore the injuries of himself and others; Zhao Ran is good at the Loess Technique,

The defense and strength are both astonishing, and one force can defeat ten enemies.

Zhao Ran and his junior sister both practiced basic five-element-related techniques. Li Xiulin was an expert in swordsmanship due to the extra gift from the sect master. He also practiced the flow of fire technique, and his overall strength should be the best among the three.

At this time, Li Xiulin had been practicing swordsmanship for a long time, so he sat down to rest for a while. During this moment, he still kept the sword in his hand, gently stroking the sword body with his hand, and looked at the black and white of the folding shadow sword in his hand with eyes full of love.

The sword body smiled happily unconsciously.

During this year, he almost never left his body with the sword. Even when practicing at night, he would place the sword flat on his knees and never leave the Shadow Sword.

The little junior sister in the distance felt a little unhappy when she saw Li Xiulin like this. She walked slowly to Li Xiulin and asked with a smile that couldn't be more fake: "Brother, why are you laughing at me?"

Li Xiulin looked up and saw the smiling face of the younger junior sister. He didn't know what kind of trick the younger junior sister was playing. Then he didn't look at her again, but lowered his head and continued stroking the sword. He said in a short but powerful voice: "Speak humanly."

.”

The junior sister's eloquent words always make people laugh and laugh.

After hearing what Li Xiulin said, the junior sister explained awkwardly: "Senior brother, you were not a scholar before. It will be more intimate to talk like this."

Li Xiulin continued to lower his head and caress his sword, and said: "Scholars will not talk like that in daily life."

Then Li Xiulin continued to immerse himself in the world of himself and the sword in his hand. Seeing this, the younger junior sister stamped her feet angrily and said angrily: "Brother, is that broken sword so beautiful?"

At this time, Li Xiulin raised his head and kept staring at the junior sister who was standing beside him with her head lowered slightly, and then said seriously: "First, this sword has its name, it is called Zheying, it is not called Broken Sword. Second

Two, it’s really beautiful.”

After hearing Li Xiulin's serious words, the junior sister almost wanted to punch him, but she held back, feeling a little disappointed. Thinking of this, the junior sister patted her face hard with both hands, thinking to herself, how can I follow him?

A sword became jealous.

Seeing the little junior sister slapping her face with both hands and turning her face red, Li Xiulin was also surprised. Why is this little girl so crazy? She even beats herself without mercy.

But Li Xiulin didn't dare to ask, because he couldn't understand the behavior of the junior sister, and most of the questions were in vain, because the junior sister wouldn't tell him at all.

At this time, the little junior sister also pretended to be serious and said: "Senior brother, do you like the Shadow Folding Sword so much?"

After hearing this, Li Xiulin pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, I like it very much. The sword is the king of a hundred weapons, and it is the gentleman among weapons. It has its own saying of the gentleman's sword. It is upright and upright, which is what we pursue as swordsmen. The back of the sword is pure

black blade

It is white as snow, and the back of the blade is as natural as flowing water. It is truly a work of ingenuity. And this shadow-folding sword has its own killing aura, so that a gentleman is no longer powerless and can protect himself and others.

others."

As he spoke, Li Xiulin raised the Shadow Folding Sword so that the younger junior sister could also appreciate it.

Seeing this, the junior sister almost couldn't suppress her rationality and was about to swing out the iron fist of justice. Unfortunately, she finally gritted her teeth and endured it. Instead of swinging out, she quickly ran away into the distance, turning around and shouting loudly from time to time: "Idiot!

Idiot! Live with your folding shadow sword for the rest of your life!"

When Li Xiulin saw that the junior sister ran away with dissatisfaction, she was still depressed. Could it be that I didn't fully express the beauty of the Folding Shadow Sword just now, which made the junior sister angry? I must think about the wording next time, and I will definitely be able to

Let the younger junior sister also feel the charm of the Folding Shadow Sword.

However, seeing the angry look on his younger sister's face, Li Xiulin wanted to say "unreasonable", but he held back, otherwise a wave of blood would surge in his ears. And his words didn't make sense.

After saying that, the words 'I can also protect you' were hidden in his heart.

Scenes like this will appear in Ziyun Peak from time to time. They are extremely happy, but time keeps flowing forward.

It is now the end of the second year. According to the sect's regulations, except for the first year of Qi Condensation, disciples must go to the sect's mission hall to pick up a mission and complete it every year, or participate in sect-related activities, or

Complete a certain number of levels in Nebula Stream.

Obviously, the sect did not hold any big events this year, and Xingyunjian and the others were unable to pass a certain level in a short time, so they could only go to the mission hall to find suitable missions.

With this plan, a group of people went down the mountain to the mission hall of Xuanji Peak.

After arriving at the mission hall, the three of them showed their disciple tokens and entered to look for suitable missions.

The tasks in the mission hall are divided into two types, white scrolls and blue scrolls. Each scroll is divided into ten stars. The white scroll is suitable for Qi Condensation cultivation, while the blue scroll is suitable for foundation building cultivation. Different scrolls are divided into ten stars, corresponding to the same

The tenth level of cultivation. As for higher tasks, they are not allowed to show them.

Most of Baijuan's tasks are completed within the sect. They go to the Shihuang Forest developed by the sect to collect relevant elixirs or collect related items. Baijuan's tasks are designed by the sect to test the disciples.

However, even the tasks and tests designed by the sect are still dangerous. There are many spiritual beasts living in the Shihuang Forest, and they are not gentle spiritual pets. Except within the sect, the Shihuang Forest and the outside Huanglin

There is no difference. It is in a remote location and there will be no rescue from the elders of the sect.

Nam Xian Zong's attitude towards his disciples was basically that of being free-spirited, and each had their own destiny.

There were too many tasks in the mission hall, and Li Xiulin didn't know which mission they were suitable for, so he asked the elders here.

After hearing his intention, the elder of the mission hall looked at the three of them carefully and said: "Two are on the third level of Qi Condensation and one is on the second level of Qi Condensation. They can take on the mission of the three-star White Juan, or they can challenge the mission of the four-star White Juan. It depends on you."

Already."

The difficulty of the three-star white scroll is different from that of four-star, and the rewards are also different. Four-star is 400 points, and three-star is only 300. After discussing with the two people behind them, the three decided to take on the four-star mission, which can give them both

A sense of urgency and you can get more points.

Points are the currency in Nanxianzong, but there are many four-star missions. After careful selection, they chose the mission of going to Shihuang Forest to collect the Macintosh that was guarded by the purple-tailed fox.

After making the decision, the three of them accepted the mission, and the mission hall also provided a map of the location of the purple-tailed fox in the Shihuang Forest and information on the purple-tailed fox and Tongxincao.

The purple-tailed fox has about the same strength as the monk at the fourth level of Qi Condensation. It is cunning in nature, has hard fur, and uses its sharp teeth and purple tail as its attack weapons. Tongxincao is a ninth-grade fairy grass, which is the main material for making spirit-rejuvenating pills.

After the three of them confirmed the mission, Li Xiulin thought of something, frowned, and asked the junior sister tentatively: "Junior sister, would you mind that purple-tailed fox?"

Li Xiulin thought that the junior sister was also a demon clan, and could be said to be half the same clan as the purple-tailed fox. Although the task was to collect the macaroni that it guarded, it would be inevitable to fight with it. If the purple-tailed fox was killed, the junior sister might feel uncomfortable in her heart.

.

The junior sister said doubtfully: "No way."

The younger junior sister looked innocent. She didn't know why Li Xiulin emphasized this statement, but Zhao Ran was thoughtful.

Li Xiulin thought it was better to explain the matter clearly, so she had to say: "Will you feel sad if you kill the purple-tailed fox? If not, let's change the task."

The junior sister replied seriously: "No, it and I are not of the same race. Besides, this is how cultivating immortals is."

The words "that's how it is" made Li Xiulin and Zhao Ran feel a little ashamed of themselves. The youngest junior sister saw it more clearly than the two of them.

They came from the mortal world and were not used to this undisguised fight.

In this case, there is no problem at all. After the three of them returned to Ziyun Peak, they actively prepared for going to Shihuang Forest tomorrow.

After Li Xiulin returned to the peak, he warmed the sword intention between his eyebrows in the room. Since the beginning of practice, he did not sleep every night as before, but practiced cross-legged, which could not only slowly increase his cultivation, but also achieve

The role of rest can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The Shadow Folding Sword, which was usually left behind, was also placed flat on his lap. He used his own spiritual power to warm it and slowly touched the Shadow Folding Sword. Li Xiulin couldn't put it down. The Folding Shadow Sword was enough for him to concentrate his energy throughout the whole process.

Although this sharp edge is somewhat inconsistent with his peaceful personality, it does not affect Li Xiulin's love for it.

The folded shadow sword is three feet long. The sword is divided into two colors. The blade is white and the back is black. It also reveals bursts of coldness in the sun.

In this way, Li Xiulin used his spiritual power to warm the Folding Shadow Sword, and the sword intention between his brows became increasingly sharp. One day, this sword intention will surely break the sky.

In the early morning, the three of them were ready to set off. The Shihuang Forest was located in the southwest corner of the sect and stretched over dozens of mountains. Even they would have to travel quickly for several hours.

It is rumored that there are ten foundation-building level spirit beasts in the Ten Desolate Forests, so they are called the Ten Desolate Forests. The number and types of spirit beasts in it are also more diverse than outside. Basically, all the spirit beasts in Qingnan were captured and released by the Nanxian Sect.

He entered the Ten Desolate Forests for his disciples to learn and practice.

After the three of them arrived at Shihuang Forest, they followed the map given by the mission hall and they would not encounter other vicious spiritual beasts.

Spirit beasts care more about territory than monks. The more ferocious a spirit beast is, the larger its territory will be, or other spirit beasts on its territory will bow to it. As a spirit beast with the fourth level of Qi Condensation, the purple-tailed fox, although

Shihuanglin doesn't have much status, and it still has its own territory in a remote place.

The three of them arrived at their destination, hiding their auras, watching the purple-tailed fox and the macaroni it guarded from a distance.

"Brother, this purple-tailed fox has been entrenched around the spiritual grass. What should we do?" Zhao Ran couldn't make up his mind and asked Li Xiulin, the most powerful person.
To be continued...
