Second floor.

Window position.

Xie Zhuoyan was having a drink when Lu Yan came over and sat down with the sword box in his arms and said, "I want to ask you for help."

Xie Zhuoyan glanced at Lu Yan with some curiosity, then looked at the sword box in Lu Yan's hand and said, "Do you have a sword in this box?"

Lu Yan was a little surprised and asked, "How do you know?"

Xie Zhuoyan replied: "As a direct descendant of the Divine Sword Villa, I have a strong sense of swords, especially good swords. I just don't know why your sword is so small?"

However, although Xie Zhuoyan could feel that there were swords in the box, he did not know how many swords there were in it. He just felt that the sword in the box, which was less than ten inches long and wide, should be very small.

Lu Yan said: "The favor I want to ask you for is to help me sharpen my sword intention."

Lu Yan's sword intention comes from the sword technique of Yi Sword Immortal Kneeling, which can be regarded as inherited by the old sword god.

But it is a pity that his sword intention is restricted by the One-Sword Immortal Kneeling, and he must rely on his own understanding and sharpening to become stronger.

As Xie Zhuoyan is the direct descendant of Shenjian Villa, he must be a master of swordsmanship. It is most appropriate to ask Xie Zhuoyan to help sharpen his swordsmanship.

Xie Zhuoyan looked at Lu Yan with a smile and said, "I can help you, but how are you going to thank me?"

Lu Yan asked, "How do you want me to thank you?"

Xie Zhuoyan glanced at the sword box in Lu Yan's hand and said, "You gave away a good sword to the Huashan Sect last time, and now you have a new sword box. It seems that you have hidden a lot of good weapons. I want you to

Give me a sword, and as long as you agree, I promise to help you hone your sword power to a sword that is no weaker than Ximen Chuixue."

Lu Yan thought about it for a while, and exchanged a good sword for a sword that was not weaker than Ximen Chuixue. This deal was not a bad deal.

"Okay, but not now."

Xie Zhuoyan got up and walked downstairs.

Seeing this, Lu Yan said again: "I promise to give you a good sword in the future."

Xie Zhuoyan looked back, smiled, and said: "To hone your sword spirit, you naturally need to find a suitable place. Don't just stay there. Come with me quickly."

…

Lu Yan followed Xie Zhuoyan, thinking that Xie Zhuoyan was going to take him to an empty place outside the city, but he didn't expect that Xie Zhuoyan took him to a blacksmith shop.

Xie Zhuoyan threw a silver ingot directly at the blacksmith and bought the entire blacksmith shop.

She turned to look at Lu Yan and said, "To hone your sword spirit, you must first understand the sword. If you want to understand the sword, you must know how to forge the sword."

Lu Yan walked up to Xie Zhuoyan and asked in surprise, "Can you make swords?"

Xie Zhuoyan nodded with a smile and said: "In our Shenjian Villa, children from my grandfather down to six or seven years old can make swords."

While talking, Xie Zhuoyan had already picked up the hammer placed aside and started banging it.

This knock lasted for two full hours.

At this time, the iron block under Xie Zhuoyan's hammer also turned into a sword embryo.

"you try."

Xie Zhuoyan threw the hammer in his hand to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan took the hammer, picked up a piece of red-hot iron, and started hammering.

Xie Zhuoyan stood aside and guided Lu Yan's movements.

Under Xie Zhuoyan's guidance, Lu Yan's blacksmithing movements became more and more standardized and gradually gained some appearance.

…

In the following period of time, in addition to storytelling, Lu Yan would work at the blacksmith shop almost every day.

It took five days to go from being clumsy at first to being presentable now.

On the sixth day, when Lu Yan wanted to continue going to the iron shop to strike iron as usual, a guest suddenly came to the inn.

Lu Yan looked at the drunk Linghu Chong sitting in the lobby, walked over and asked, "Why are you drinking alone?"

Linghu Chong raised his head and looked at Lu Yan, and said in a very complicated tone: "Brother Lu, you appeared in the Huashan Sect that day because you had to attend the wedding of your junior sister."

Lu Yan nodded lightly and said frankly: "I saw you practicing sword practice that day, and I didn't want to distract you, so I didn't tell you about it."

Linghu Chong smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Even if you tell me, it doesn't make any sense. Junior Sister will still marry Junior Brother Lin."

Having said this, Linghu Chong paused briefly and then said, "I was expelled from the school by my master."

Lu Yan heard this and asked, "Is it because of this incident that you drank too much?"

Linghu Chong nodded, shook his head, and sighed: "It's not entirely because of this, I...I fell in love with a girl, but..."

Seeing Linghu Chong hesitate to speak, Lu Yan guessed what was going on. He sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "Speak slowly."

Linghu Chong drank several glasses of wine and then said: "The girl I like, her name is Ren Yingying..."

Because of the appearance of Lu Yan, the development of things took some twists and turns, but the acquaintance of Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying and the rescue of Ren Woxing did not change.

After Ren Woxing got out of trouble, he asked Linghu Chong to join the Sun Moon God Sect.

Linghu Chong doesn't want to, so he will not be allowed to associate with Ren Yingying again.

Therefore, Linghu Chong felt that he had nowhere to vent his frustration, so he thought of coming to Qixia Town to have a drink with Lu Yan and express his pain.

After hearing Linghu Chong's words, Lu Yan was just thinking about how to persuade Linghu Chong, when three figures suddenly walked in from the door of the inn.

The leader's beard and hair are all gray in color, his appearance is vicissitudes of life and fierce, and he looks extremely difficult to get along with.

Behind him were a slim figure in a green skirt, and an old man in white with a slim face and a long gray beard.

"Brother Chong!"

Ren Yingying saw Linghu Chong and walked over quickly.

Hearing this, Linghu Chong turned his head to look at Ren Yingying with some surprise, and said with joy, "Yingying!"

Seeing this scene, Lu Yan wisely stood up to make room for the two of them. He looked at the old man with gray hair and beard standing not far away and said, "Junior Lu Yan, I have met Senior Ren."

Ren Woxing looked at Lu Yan with a stern look and asked, "Since you have enmity with Dongfang Bubai, why are you unwilling to rescue me and join forces with me to deal with Dongfang Bubai?"

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Senior Ren, are you here to seek revenge?"

Ren Woxing shook his head and said: "Yingying doesn't have enough face, so I came here in person and invited you to go to Heimu Cliff with me to deal with Dongfang Bubai!"

Although Ren Woxing is arrogant, he will not make enemies at will.

He knew very well how powerful Dongfang Bubai was who practiced the "Sunflower Book", so he came here in person and invited Lu Yan again.

At this moment, Shangguan Haitang's figure suddenly appeared at the door of the inn. She looked at Lu Yan and the others and said, "This is it?"

When Lu Yan saw Shangguan Haitang suddenly appear, he smiled and asked, "Is Lord Tidan ready?"

Shangguan Haitang nodded and replied: "My adoptive father is ready and can leave for Heimu Cliff at any time!"
