"Hey, by the way, brother Buzhi, what are the four sword treatises about?" Feng Ziqing tilted his head and asked Xiang Zhiyue.
Zhiyue said in a warm voice: "The Four Sword Canon was originally a Taoist Sword Canon held only among the three sects and one sect. It was originally a forum for disciples to question and discuss with each other in order to seek breakthroughs.
Later, there were many sects of cultivating immortals, so the scope was expanded. However, due to the limited size of the sect and the limited number of places, the participation requirements of other cultivating sects were raised. The first-class sects must be at least Dongyuan Realm, and the lower ones must be Chengxu Realm.
As for casual cultivators, they need to be in the Pure Realm."
"Why are casual cultivators the most demanding?" Feng Ziqing was a little confused.
Zhiyue explained: Most practitioners know about the situation in the Arctic End Continent. The purpose of holding the Four Swordsmanship Ceremony is to allow those with superior qualifications from various sects to collide with each other in their cultivation paths and gain enlightenment during or after the competition.
, improve the realm of cultivation, strengthen the strength of our human race's cultivation world, and provide strong support. Therefore, naturally, the Four Essays on Sword Code is regarded as the top priority, and the sect will focus on cultivating those with good qualifications.
As we all know, casual cultivators have relatively few human and financial resources, so they are the most difficult to practice. For casual cultivators with insufficient qualifications or low level to come to participate in sword fighting, in the eyes of the seniors, it is undoubtedly a waste of time and energy.
.Of course, there are no late bloomers, but this kind of people can wait until they reach a higher level."
Feng Ziqing asked: "I see, casual cultivators are indeed more pitiful. By the way, you said before that in the last term you and senior brother Wan Yi reached the end, you were both in the Void Realm at that time. Is it possible that there was no one in that term?
Participating in the True Pure Realm?"
Zhiyue shook his head, "Brother Bu Zhong doesn't know something. Although this Zhenpu realm belongs to the three realms on the mountain, it is quite different from the other two realms, so it is not included in the competition. Those in the sixth realm and above can compete with each other.
Feel free to compete without asking for results."
"That's it." Feng Ziqing finally understood and continued to ask: "Then what exactly is the North Pole?"
"I have never been there. I only know from the elders of the sect and the gatekeeper books that it is a place where grudges are gratified and everything is determined by strength. People who go there and come back will become a little different, as if they have transformed.
Same."
Zhiyue smiled and continued: "Senior Brother Wan, whom you met in Wuju City earlier, will probably go to the Arctic End Continent soon to seek a breakthrough."
Feng Ziqing thought of the more straightforward guy, who was quite a good person.
"Humph, isn't it a big deal to go to the Arctic Continent? My senior sister Nan You will also go there soon."
After working together a few days ago, Hua Zhiyu's attitude has changed from the cold face she learned from the sect leader. The four of them have become familiar with each other a lot, so her tone can't help but be calmer sometimes.
When she heard that Zhiyue seemed to be praising the man named Wan, she spoke up for her senior sister.
Ming Shanxue naturally echoed from the side: "That's right, Senior Sister Nan is very powerful."
Zhi Yue nodded and said: "Of course, Junior Sister Nan You is very talented and it will only be a matter of time before she breaks through to Heyuan."
Hua Shiyu nodded with satisfaction, and Mingshan Xue smiled slightly at Zhiyue, thanking her for the compliment to her senior sister.
Feng Zi chuckled lightly, these two senior sisters were quite interesting.
A few days later, the injuries of the four of them were healed. Although the flesh on the palms of their hands had not yet fully grown, it was no longer a problem.
The petals of the cold jade ice lotus in the pond are almost fully opened, and they will be in full bloom only when the sun rises tomorrow morning.
After nightfall, the four of them chatted casually as usual, and then continued to practice after their interest was exhausted, so that they could reach their best condition in the morning, just in case.
…
Within a moment of entering meditation, Zhiyue gradually felt a little uneasy. His brows furrowed slightly and he had no clue, so he simply opened his eyes and kept vigil for everyone.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I noticed something strange around me.
It was already late at night, and the thick fog in the pool was gradually rising. The fog on the water surface had been seen before, and it was normal. But at this moment, the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the fog became larger and larger. It gradually floated away from the pool surface, covering the four people.
It was completely shrouded in heavy fog, and the surrounding area suddenly turned white.
Being in the fog, Zhi Yue became increasingly restless, so he woke everyone up.
As soon as Hua Shiyu opened his eyes, he understood why he was feeling uneasy just now. This fog was completely different from when he first came.
"Junior sister Hua, when the cold jade ice lotus is in full bloom, will there be a heavy fog like this?"
In the heavy fog, Zhi Yue stood by the pool, looking at the lotus in the distance that could only be vaguely visible now, frowning and asking.
Hua Shiyu shook his head and said: "Master has never told me before going down the mountain. I have read many collections of flowers and plants, but I have never seen them. The sudden appearance of heavy fog at this time is really weird. Could it be that it comes from the source of the strange fog?
?”
This inference was soon overturned by herself, "No, the source of the mysterious fog is still far away from here. No matter how big the fog is, it is unlikely that it will spread here. So why?"
Feng Ziqing stared closely at the surface of the pool, and as far as he could see, he saw a vast expanse of white, like the illusion of the underground palace of Hongfeng Temple. An idea suddenly occurred and he said: "Could it be a formation or an illusion? Brother Buzhi, does it look like Hongfeng Temple?
That time?"
Zhiyue thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The heavy fog came unexpectedly tonight. We have been here for seven or eight days. Except for the previous fight with the three people surnamed Lu, we have never felt any Yuan nearby.
The power is surging, and besides, it’s just a cold jade ice lotus, so it won’t make people bother to set up formations or illusions.”
Feng Ziqing pinched his chin and deduced: "It's not an illusion of formations, and it has nothing to do with the source of the mist. There is no abnormality in the surrounding energy, and there is nothing abnormal on the surface of the pool. In this case, if it is not water or land, then there is only... underwater
.”
"Underwater!" Ming Shanxue exclaimed, "Could it be that Senior Brother Feng was right, that there really is something under the water?"
When Feng Ziqing heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Hahaha, what are you talking about? I have always been lucky. When the fog clears and I get the ice lotus, I have to go into the water to find out."
In the heavy fog, Hua Shiyu shook his head, he was really greedy for money.
Although the four of them were talking and laughing, they did not dare to let down their guard. After all, the heavy fog was indeed strange. However, until the sun rose, there was no other abnormality. However, the thick fog dispersed a lot, giving everyone a false alarm.
At dawn, a red sun gradually rises in the sky. Under the early morning sunshine, the white petals and red petal tips look particularly quiet and beautiful.
Suddenly, ripples began to appear centered on the intersection between the stems of the Cold Jade Ice Lotus and the lake surface. The ripples became wider and wider, and the ripples became larger and larger. Eventually, the entire pool surface was like an earthquake, stirring up layers of water.
wave.
Just when everyone was confused, the cold jade ice lotus that was supposed to bloom suddenly began to close at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally returned to a lotus bud.
Immediately afterwards, a small opening opened slightly at the mouth of the flower bud again, and the dense fog that had dispersed a lot suddenly surged towards the small opening, gradually forming a small vortex above the mouth of the flower bud.
The mist was continuously sucked into the flower buds, and the original white petals began to become lighter and lighter in color, but the red color at the petal tips still remained.
When the last trace of mist was sucked into the bud, the bud had turned into a lotus bud with transparent petals and red tips.
Wow
An extremely subtle sound sounded from the bud, and then it bloomed instantly. The stamens were actually transparent, and a burst of lotus fragrance overflowed, and with a breeze blowing from the pool, it rushed towards the face.
Seeing this scene, Feng Ziqing felt closer to the cold jade ice lotus. He felt inexplicably relieved and suddenly felt something.
The appearance of the lotus flower is very much like his natal flying sword, which has a different head.
——
Hua Shiyu was overjoyed. Although her expression remained the same, her eyes could no longer hold back.
She quickly took out the jade bottle of Yunlian that had been prepared for a long time. She pointed the mouth of the bottle at the cold jade ice lotus, activated her energy, and with a sudden suction force, she uprooted the entire cold jade ice lotus.
It's just that the rhizome of this ice lotus is much longer than expected. Preliminary estimates show that the rhizome alone is three to five feet long, and eventually it was sucked into the bottle along with a small part of the cold jade pond water.
He used Yuan Li to seal the Yunlian jade bottle and put it into a square object. Hua Shiyu couldn't help but relax his eyebrows. He thought there would be twists and turns at night, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth. The task was successfully completed and finally lived up to Master's expectations.
Feng Ziqing was amazed at how deep the water in the pool was, how long the stem was, and how big the bottle could be.
