As soon as he said this, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically. Even Mu Jianhan stood up suddenly and said without hesitation:
"Forgive me, fellow Taoist, but I am sorry that this is a difficult matter to obey!"
The sword tomb is the place where the swords of the ancestors of the sword cultivator sect are buried. Sword cultivators have been addicted to swords all their lives. The flying swords of their own life are equivalent to their second life. After they die, these flying swords are buried in the sword tomb.
Outsiders are never allowed to enter.
This means that Liang Yan is too strong, and Mu Jianhan has to be cautious. If another person dares to speak such arrogant words, he is afraid that he will be killed on the spot immediately.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, it is not my intention to embarrass you, but this place of the Sword Tomb is an extremely sacred place for our disciples of the Qingyu Sword Sect, and outsiders are absolutely not allowed to intrude! Can you please change the conditions, Friend Daoist, as long as it is Mu?
I will do my best to satisfy you as much as I can.”
After all, Mu Jianhan didn't want to break up with Liang Yan. His words were quite tactful, but his refusal was firm.
After hearing this, Liang Yan was calm and calm, and said with a slight smile: "Master Mu, don't make your words too absolute. Everything has room for negotiation. What you just saw is just a meeting gift from Liang.
What comes down is the opportunity brought by Liang’s trip!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Jianhan shook his head slightly and said: "No matter what fellow Taoist offers, our Qingyu Sword Sect will never agree to you."
Before he finished speaking, Liang Yan's lips moved slightly, as if he was using a secret technique of sound transmission, while Mu Jianhan's expression gradually changed from calm at first to surprise, and finally his eyes widened, as if he was very worried.
I was so shocked that I couldn't even say the next words.
When the nine leaders present saw this scene, they couldn't help but look puzzled. They each secretly guessed what Liang Yan had just said, which shocked Mu Jianhan to such an extent.
This weird atmosphere lasted for several breaths, and there was no sound in Nuo Da's "Greenwood Hall". After a long while, Mu Jianhan took a deep breath and asked with some uncertainty: "What did fellow Taoist just say?"
Are you serious?"
"Absolutely no lies!"
Liang Yan seemed to be confident. He smiled slightly and answered without hesitation.
Mu Jianhan's eyes flickered, and he finally made up his mind after a long time. He waved his hands to everyone present and said, "Everyone, please step aside. I have something to say with this fellow Taoist Liang."
"this"
The nine heads of state all looked at each other in disbelief, and each of them murmured in their hearts, but the sect leader had an order, and they did not dare to disobey it.
"I will obey the order of the sect master!"
The nine people bowed and saluted at the same time, and finally slowly exited the Aoki Hall.
Mu Jianhan waited until they all exited the hall, then raised his hand to cast a magic spell to seal the hall door. Then he took a step forward and asked impatiently:
"Do you really have a way to advance your sword pills, fellow Taoist?"
Liang Yan had already guessed that he would have this reaction. Hearing this, he smiled slightly and said calmly: "Sect Master Mu, don't worry, Liang came here because he wanted to use your sect's sword tomb to practice the prototype of the sword pill. How could he not have it?"
Kenmaru’s training method?”
Mu Jianhan looked excited, and then asked: "Fellow Taoist, are you really willing to pass on the secret method of practicing sword pills to our Qingyu Sword Sect?"
"Haha, Liang made a promise. Since he promised Sect Master Mu on this matter, he will never go back on it. Moreover, after I cultivate Jianwan, I will also leave the land of Nanchui. This deal between you and me can be regarded as beneficial to both parties.
A good thing." Liang Yan said with a smile.
"Yes, yes" Mu Jianhan murmured: "This matter is indeed a great opportunity. Our Qingyu Sword Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and even the ancestor of the sect has not cultivated the sword pill. If we can
If you have the sword pill method in your hand, you can be considered a glorious lintel."
It’s no wonder that Mu Jianhan is so out of character. You must know that there are very few secrets of sword cultivation, and there are even fewer techniques that can produce sword pills. The Qingyu Sword Sect has been established for thousands of years, and throughout the history, there is no one.
Being able to delve into the method of practicing Jianwan shows how precious the secret technique in Liang Yan's hands is.
If it weren't for the fact that there was only one sword cultivation sect in Nanchui, the Qingyu Sword Sect, and Liang Yan had reached the most critical bottleneck, he wouldn't have been able to offer this secret technique in exchange.
However, there are two secret techniques for advanced sword pills in the "Tao Sword Classic". One is the "Hundred Refining Technique" and the second is the "Sword Seizing Technique". Liang Yan thought about it again and again and decided to use the "Hundred Refining Technique"
Take it out in exchange.
Of course, he had his own considerations in this. The "sword seizing method" was too cruel, and he wanted to shorten his own training time by killing other sword cultivators.
If he spreads this method to the Qingyu Sword Sect, and things change in the future, it may lead to endless massacres in Nanchui, and even threaten the safety of fellow members of the Yungang Sect.
The "Hundred Refining Method" is on the contrary. It emphasizes self-cultivation, quietness and nourishment, and finally forms a sword pill of one's own through continuous tempering. This method is relatively gentle and will not affect the practitioner's state of mind and will not
Bringing boundless slaughter to Nanchui, it is suitable for people from the Qingyu Sword Sect to practice.
As for Liang Yan himself, it was by chance that he received the blood essence of the Evil Sword Immortal and had the supreme magical power of Buddhism to protect his body. Otherwise, he would not have dared to take the wrong approach with his sword and use the "Sword Seizing Technique" which is very easy to go astray.
technique.
Mu Jianhan was stunned in place for a long time. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. As a sect leader, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Forgive me, Fellow Daoist Liang, this matter is too shocking. Mu just lost his composure." Mu Jianhan said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile.
"Sect Master Mu was joking, the Jianwan method is so precious, and it is normal to have such a reaction. If I had not reached the most critical step of practicing Jianwan, I would not give it in exchange."
Liang Yan said this, smiled slightly, and then asked: "So, Sect Master Mu agreed to Liang's proposal?"
Mu Jianhan did not hesitate this time, and nodded directly in response: "This is natural, rules are dead, people are alive, a secret sword pill technique is enough to be the treasure of the sect. As the contemporary sect leader, how can I
I will refuse."
"It's just that" Mu Jianhan changed the topic and continued: "Before entering the sword tomb, fellow Taoist, can you lend me the first half of this secret technique so that I can confirm the authenticity of this secret technique?
"
"Of course you can."
Liang Yan seemed to have expected this. Hearing this, he agreed without even thinking about it. Then he smiled slightly and said, "But I also have two conditions. The sect leader must agree first."
"Fellow Taoist, please speak." Mu Jianhan said seriously.
"The first condition is that Sect Leader Mu must swear in front of me that if you master the sword pill, you will never take action against Yungang Sect in the future!"
"this"
After hearing this condition, Mu Jianhan secretly guessed that Liang Yan's identity must be closely related to the Yungang Sect.
After he pondered for a moment, he solemnly nodded and replied: "Okay, I, Mu Jianhan, hereby swear that as long as the Yungang Sect does not take the initiative to invade and threaten the safety of our sect's inheritance, then I will never take action against the Yungang Sect.
!If I violate this oath, my body and soul will be destroyed, and I will never enter reincarnation!"
"good!"
Liang Yan nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "The second condition is that your sect must use all the strength of the sect to help me complete the last three sword refinings and cultivate the prototype of the sword pill!"
"no problem!"
Mu Jianhan agreed to this second condition without even thinking about it. As long as he could obtain the secret technique of Jianwan, this trivial matter was not worth mentioning to him.
"Fellow Taoist Liang, please stay here for a few days. After all, the Sword Tomb is the holy land of our sect. If you want to enter it, you need to burn incense and bathe for seven days. At the same time, I will also arrange manpower to be sent by your fellow Taoist."
"Okay, let's go to Sect Master Yimu." Liang Yan nodded slightly.
The two of them were a little happy when they reached a deal. They looked at each other and smiled, as if they were old friends for many years, and walked out of the Aoki Palace side by side.
The nine leaders waiting outside couldn't help but feel curious when they saw them pushing the door open at the same time, with faint smiles on their faces.
"metropolitan."
Su Yue took a step forward and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Mu Jianhan waving his hand:
"You don't need to say anything, I have made up my mind and will use all my strength to help fellow Taoist Liang achieve Jianwan!"
"What?!"
As soon as Mu Jianhan said this, the nine leaders present were extremely surprised.
"Jianwan? There are still people in my Nanchui land who can cultivate Jianwan!"
This was the thought that popped up in the minds of the nine people at the same time. When they looked at Liang Yan, their eyes were full of fear and awe.
They knew that since Mu Jianhan made this decision, he must have reached some kind of deal with this person. Although they were all the masters of the same clan, they could not interfere with the sect leader's decision. At this time, they all lowered their heads and gathered together.
Sheng responded:
"In compliance with the sect master's decree, we will do our best to help Senior Liang achieve enlightenment!"
"Okay, let's take Fellow Daoist Liang to live in the 'Shuimu Cave', burn incense and bathe for seven days. After seven days, open the sword tomb!"
Mu Jianhan gave the order, and two hall masters came out, namely Su Yue from Shujian Hall and Wen Chuhua from Sujian Hall. One on the left and one on the right, they made a "please" gesture respectively.
Liang Yan smiled slightly and didn't say much. He just hugged Mu Jianhan's fists and followed the two men away through the air.
After half a stick of incense, Su Yue and Wen Chuhua led him to a beautiful mountain peak. It was halfway up the mountain. There were hot springs and waterfalls around it. Countless giant trees covered the mountains and fields, making everything around them look lush and green.
.
On top of a water pool, an elegant attic was built. The materials were all made of "Qingtan wood", which has the effect of calming the mind and getting rid of distracting thoughts.
"It is indeed a good place. Sect Master Mu is interested." Liang Yan nodded slightly.
"Senior, I don't know." At this time, Su Yue suddenly smiled and said: "This 'Shuimu Cave' is not only a good place to rest, it also contains the formation books created by our sect's seniors. The sect leader asked us to bring you here, I'm afraid
It’s not just as simple as burning incense and bathing.”
"oh?"
Liang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to ask a question when he saw Su Yue and Wen Chuhua both smiled and shook their heads, then each clasped their fists and left hand in hand.
"Why is it so mysterious?"
Liang Yan cursed, ignored them, and walked into the attic. Inside, he saw more than ten sets of bookshelves made of "Qingtan wood", which were piled with books.
He only took a cursory glance and found that the books inside were all secret formation volumes, 70% of which were related to sword formations. Even the Qingyu Sword Sect's Zongzong Sword Formation "Qingfeng Nine Tribulations Formation" could be learned from these
I found some shadows in the formation books.
Liang Yan thought for a moment and roughly guessed Mu Jianhan's intention. He was not polite and directly took down a copy of "The Complete Notes of Lingwei Guangjian Formation" from the bookshelf and stood there and read it carefully.
Time passed by. Liang Yan burned incense and bathed in the "Shuimu Cave" for three days, and also browsed the Qingyu Sword Sect's formation collection for three days.
At noon on the third day, a figure in white robes came slowly and gently knocked on the door outside the attic.
"come in."
Liang Yan's voice sounded from the attic.
With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open, and Mu Jianhan was seen wearing a white robe, standing with his hands behind his back.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, have you been living comfortably these days?"
"Haha, thanks to you, my thoughts these days have been focused on the books around me." Liang Yan leaned against the wall, stretched out his hand and yawned.
Mu Jianhan smiled slightly and said: "The formation books of our Qingyu Sword Sect are all hidden here. What do you think after reading these books in the past few days?"
Liang Yan's face became solemn and he said very seriously: "Your sect started the sect with swords and established the sect with sword formations. There are indeed many fantastic ideas about formations. Even Liang benefited from the profound and profound aspects of them.
Not cheap!”
"Haha, it's really not easy to be praised by fellow Taoist Liang."
Mu Jianhan laughed and said: "Although our Qingyu Sword Sect is the only sword cultivation sect in Nanchui, our sword techniques and secrets are not superior. The reason why we have been able to stand for thousands of years is because of the coordination of this sword formation.
Therefore, all my disciples must learn the art of combined sword attack, and the Patriarch specially set up the 'Wooden Lane' assessment to implement this."
When he said this, he paused for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Fellow Daoist Liang, you have also seen our sect's Zhenzong Sword Formation 'Qingfeng Nine Tribulations Formation'. Please tell the truth. If you only rely on one sword,
Do you have a way to crack it?"
Liang Yan pondered for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Although the 'Qingfeng Nine Tribulations Formation' is mysterious, it is not without its flaws. Even if I suppress my strength and only use the weakest sword, I am still sure that I can survive half a stick of incense."
Crack this formation within the time required.”
When Mu Jianhan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "My Qingyu Sword Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and the sword formations taught by it are acceptable for dealing with young disciples, but they are still not enough to deal with real formation masters.
.”
When he said this, he suddenly changed the topic and said: "The later generations of disciples of Qingyu Sword Sect all worshiped the ancestor's sword formation, but because of this, they neglected to study and stopped moving forward. Now the position of the sect leader has been passed to me, Mu Jian
In Han's hands, I want to innovate and create a sword formation that surpasses the ancestor!"
These words were quite heroic and made Liang Yan more certain of his purpose.
"Does Sect Master Mu want me to study the sword formation with you?"
