Chapter 210 Apprenticeship (for Fang Xiu V to Death Fang Xiu
Li Yuanba once again walked into the mission hall of the Senluo Sect's outer war department and placed a corpse in front of the deacon.
"Hand in the mission!" he said calmly.
The deacon saw him. Although several days had passed, it was extremely rare for an elder to specifically issue a mission. How could he forget it.
"Complete his mission and let him go to the second floor!" He looked up at the direction of the second floor and heard the elder's voice in his ears.
The deacon quickly went through the formalities for Li Yuanba. The contribution points on Li Yuanba's identity jade plate had increased to 4050. He was already thinking about seeing if there was any formation knowledge that he could purchase.
There is no need to worry about Li Yuanba's own cultivation resources. Li Shiming left one million spirit stones for his clone, plus the trophies from killing monks after completing tasks, this is another considerable fortune.
His current main task is to continuously accumulate contribution points, provide the body with the knowledge of the Senluo Sect, and find materials for the third-grade and five-element formations.
"Fellow Taoist, Elder Jian is waiting for you on the second floor!" The deacon stopped Li Yuanba who was about to leave to check the harvest.
Li Yuanba was shocked. He had only met one elder from the Senluo Sect, and that elder Lu didn't look like the elder Jindan from the Demon Sect at all.
He didn't know who the sword elder was looking for him this time and why he was looking for him, but he knew he couldn't refuse.
He nodded to the deacon and followed the stairs to the second floor.
The second floor is a big place, but there is only one person there, sipping tea.
When Li Yuanba saw this person, he didn't notice what he looked like at all, because in his perception, he was not a monk at all, but a long sword in a scabbard.
Perhaps this is not visible in the eyes of other monks, but the induction between sword cultivators can be clearly sensed.
The long sword is even more dangerous when kept in its scabbard.
"This is a powerful swordsman, even more terrifying than Yun Xingyi!" Li Yuanba said to himself in his heart.
Of course, when he met Yun Xingyi back then, Yun Xingyi's strength was indistinguishable. It was difficult to judge who was stronger or weaker between the sword elder and Yun Xingyi in front of him, at least he was not qualified to judge.
"Outer Sect Li Yuanba has met Elder Jian!" He suppressed the pressure in his heart, walked to Elder Jian and bowed in salute.
Elder Jian was also looking at him when he walked up to the second floor.
Elder Jian was still very satisfied with Li Yuanba.
As a Jindan elder, he certainly did not issue tasks to Li Yuanba out of boredom. It was Li Yuanba's sword intent that attracted his attention and gave Li Yuanba a chance.
Of course, if Li Yuanba, a sword cultivator, died at the hands of a true disciple of the Houtu Sect, then Li Yuanba did not have this opportunity.
The way Elder Jindan of the Demon Sect tests his disciples, Elder Jian's method is considered relatively normal.
"I asked you to come here to tell you that you have passed my disciple examination and I want to accept you as an entry-level disciple!" Elder Jian said very directly.
Li Yuanba was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that Elder Jian would say this.
He thought that it would take at least some time, at least after entering the inner gate, before he could attract the attention of a certain elder.
The fact that he completed the tasks continuously was only spread among some foundation-building monks in the sect because the time was too short. If Elder Jian had not been free recently, he might have had to wait until the competition entered the inner sect before he would be caught.
Other Jindan elders pay attention.
"Disciple Li Yuanba has met the master!" Li Yuanba was stunned for a moment and then quickly came to his senses. He saluted and changed his title.
When you enter the sect, you just want to find a supporter. The sword elder in front of you is at least not the kind of golden elixir elder who practices magic skills. There is no need to worry about one day being used as a consumable for magic skills.
"Li Yuanba, what technique are you currently practicing?" Elder Jian calmed down his aura and asked with a smile.
In an instant, Li Yuanba could no longer feel the oppressive aura before. The sword elder in front of him now looked like an ordinary mortal old man.
He has not been able to achieve this state of sending and receiving freely. He has practiced the 'Secret Book of Sword Demon' and 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique', which makes him full of sword spirit even in normal times.
"The disciples have the 'Secret Book of Sword Demons' and the 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique' for discipleship!" There was an apprenticeship process on the main body. He was already prepared for this and had no intention of hiding anything.
"The Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique is an inherited skill of the Mingxin Sect. However, since you passed the examination of Wenxin Hall, I guess you are not a monk of the Mingxin Sect. Where did you get the Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique?" Elder Sword said slightly.
He asked with a frown.
Elder Jian knew about the ‘Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique’, and his old rival Yun Xingyi practiced this technique.
If it were other techniques, it would be impossible for Elder Jian to ask about the origin.
He was planning to accept Li Yuanba as his disciple, and this was his first time accepting a disciple in Senluo Sect, so he didn't want any trouble.
"The disciple found it from a monk's storage bag after killing him on Tianhai Island!" Li Yuanba replied half-truthfully.
"Tianhai Island! Did Yun Xingyi fall on Tianhai Island? No wonder his skills were lost!" Elder Jian did not doubt Li Yuanba's words and whispered to himself.
Although Tianhai Island is a bit far away, it is still possible to investigate whether Yun Xingyi has fallen. Through multiple channels, such as Beishu Trading Company, or sects such as Wanfo Sect that can contact Tianhai Island,
You can verify this.
"What kind of body training techniques have you practiced? How come I feel the breath of death in your body?" Elder Jian reached out and patted Li Yuanba's body lightly, and then asked.
"I practiced the sword cultivation technique of the 'Secret Book of Sword Demons'!" Li Yuanba allowed Elder Jian to inspect him. He was extremely worried that the secret of this body would be discovered by Elder Jian, but he said calmly.
Elder Su had the same reaction as Li Shiming's master, Elder Jian had also never heard of the 'Secret Code of Sword Demon'.
"Show me the 'Secret Book of the Sword Demon'!" Elder Jian demanded.
Li Yuanba took out a blank jade slip, engraved the contents of the 'Sword Demon Secret Book' on the jade slip on the spot, and sent the jade slip to Elder Jian.
Although he has not officially become a master yet, in fact, Elder Jian is already his master.
It's just a 'Secret Book of Sword Demons'. Even if Elder Sword wants the 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique', he can still give it away.
Elder Jian took the jade slip and read the contents of the 'Secret Book of the Sword Demon' and remained silent for a long time.
"It's a pity that this sword cultivator wants to take another path. I am ashamed of his courage!" Completely different from the evaluation of Elder Su of the Shushan Sect, Elder Jian has a very high evaluation of the 'Secret Code of the Sword Demon'.
When he saw Li Yuanba's probing gaze, Elder Jian showed a smile on his face.
"A long time ago, sword cultivators were divided into two factions, one with melee combat and the other with long-range flying swords. With the rise of Fa Cultivators, melee sword cultivators became the shield of Fa Cultivators. This was not in line with the philosophy of sword cultivators, so melee sword cultivators became more and more powerful.
There are fewer and fewer people coming, and most of the inheritance has been discontinued.
The monk who created the 'Secret Book of the Sword Demon' was obviously a melee sword cultivator who wanted to restore the glory of the melee sword cultivator by sharpening his sword cultivator body early. Unfortunately, this technique only reaches the golden elixir stage.
, I don’t know why he didn’t continue to innovate, but stopped in Jindan!" Elder Jian explained with sighs.
In fact, Elder Jian also guessed the reason. It is most likely that this melee sword cultivator died in the Golden Core stage and was not able to become Yuanying, let alone create the 'Sword Demon Secret Book' of the Yuanying stage.
Even the golden elixir stage skills of the 'Secret Book of Sword Demons' have become more of a way to create and strengthen magic weapons, and are no longer as stunning as before.
The elder swordsman vaguely saw the process of a talented swordsman with amazing talents, from being brilliant to being ordinary, and then finally being wiped out.
"I'm just curious, how can practicing the 'Secret Code of Sword Demon' cause the aura of death to appear in the body?" Elder Jian repeatedly studied the 'Secret Code of Sword Demon', but could not find the source of the aura of death.
He just thought it was something wrong with Li Yuanba's practice, but after checking Li Yuanba's body, he found that the aura of death did not affect Li Yuanba's practice, so he gave up.
"Come with me!" Elder Jian led Li Yuanba out of the mission hall, and then the two of them turned into two sword lights and left.
The sword elder slowed down the sword light, and all the hair on Li Yuanba's body stood up, because the mountain in front was shrouded in countless sword intents, and it seemed that he would be injured by the sword intent as soon as he approached.
"That's the sect's Wanjian Peak, and it's also where my cave is!" Elder Sword explained calmly.
When the sword elder descended downwards, the sword intention separated a path, allowing the two of them to enter.
As soon as he approached the mountain covered with sword intent, Li Yuanba felt that the sword intent in his whole body was restless, and the sword intent in his body seemed to be echoing the sword intent in the outside world.
"The Senluo Sect's Wanjian Peak was snatched away. It was originally the main peak of a medium-sized sword cultivation sect, but was moved back by several ancestors!" Elder Jian introduced the origin of Wanjian Peak.
Li Yuanba couldn't imagine that a mountain like Wanjian Peak could be moved back like this. Besides, the sword cultivator sect with Wanjian Peak is probably very powerful. Even the foundation of the sect was taken away. This is indeed very...
Demonic repair.
"Master, are there very few sword cultivators in the sect?" Li Shiming didn't feel the scent of sword cultivators in Wanjian Peak, so he asked curiously.
"We are the only real sword cultivators. The rest of the sword cultivators have gone astray. They will not come here!" Elder Sword Master shook his head.
As the Senluo Sect grew in power, the sect had more and more skills and resources, especially the large number of opportunities to obtain monks' corpses, which made the demonic cultivation skills very popular.
The corpses of monks are not only used for refining corpses, but also have many methods such as extracting their souls and refining their essence and blood. This is a taboo technique in other sects, but it is normal in the Demon Sect.
Therefore, the more difficult a technique is to get started, the fewer monks will practice it.
Of course, this is also due to the swordsman's laziness in cultivating sword cultivators. As the master of Wanjian Peak, he hardly opens Wanjian Peak to the public, making it difficult for the monks of the sect to use Wanjian Peak to inspire their sword intent.
When he saw Wanjianfeng clearly, Li Yuanba finally knew the origin of the name.
The peaks of Wanjian Peak are filled with various broken swords, most of which are magic weapon-level swords, but some spiritual swords can also be seen from time to time.
When he landed on the top of Wanjian Peak, he also saw five flying swords with the aura of magic weapons stuck on the rocks on the top of the peak.
Even though he kept a flying sword magic weapon in his main body, when he saw the five flying sword magic weapons, he still had the idea of stepping forward and grabbing one.
"No need to look, all the swords in the entire Wanjian Peak are integrated with this mountain peak. No sword here can be pulled out, let alone leaving Wanjian Peak. These five flying swords
The magic weapon is the peak-suppressing treasure that suppresses Wanjian Peak, and it cannot be moved at all!" Elder Jian glanced at Li Yuanba and introduced with a smile.
Elder Jian intended to let Li Yuanba see it. After giving a general introduction to Wan Jianfeng, he took Li Yuanba to his cave.
"I have learned about your situation. The sect cannot find out your origin. After listening to your story, I think you were born on Tianhai Island and are not a local monk in Northern Shu!" Elder Jian sat in the main seat in the hall.
, said Dandan.
Li Yuanba naturally knew that his origin could not be investigated, because this body had no origin at all.
"Don't worry about anything. I'm not interested in your origins, and I'm not a local monk!" Elder Jian saw Li Yuanba's uneasiness and said with a smile and waved his hand.
"You are a principled child. I have investigated your situation after joining the sect. I found that you have not learned the demonic cultivation techniques in the sect. You only focus on practicing and sharpening your sword power. Do you not want to be complicit in showing yourself with a mask all the time?"
The elder continued.
Li Yuanba was really shocked, but he couldn't understand it this way. It was good that he was wearing a mask, but he really didn't have any dissatisfaction with the sect.
Besides, the monks wearing a mask actually does not affect their daily communication. The monks can identify each other by their breath, which is easier to distinguish than hiding their faces.
"The reason why I chose you as my disciple is because I like your purity. There is no pure sword cultivator in the sect. My successor must be a pure sword cultivator!" Elder Jian sighed and finished.
The main reason for Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba suddenly didn't want to explain. He thought in his mind that he must hide the generals well and not let Elder Jian discover the existence of the generals, otherwise Elder Jian might change his mind.
He is not a pure swordsman at all. He is working hard to become a swordsman, but he also masters the powerful corpse refining as his final trump card.
For traditional swordsmanship, this kind of swordsmanship is impure.
But he believes that living is the most important thing, and the swordsman who survives is the good swordsman.
In addition, the reason why he wears a mask is also very simple. His face is so dazzling that it may cause problems if it is not covered up.
"Master, I have to wear a mask as a last resort!" He took off the mask anyway and explained to Elder Jian.
Elder Jian was startled after seeing his face, and then he couldn't help laughing.
"It's better to put on the mask. If your face is revealed in the battle, it will be enough to save your life. In addition, you must be careful of the dual cultivators in the sect!" Elder Jian laughed and waved his hand.
