"Since ancient times, wine and swords have been indistinguishable. It can be said that if there is wine, there must be swords, and if there is swords, there must be wine."
"In the mortal world, warriors who rush to the battlefield need wine to stay strong. Only in this way will their swords be sharper."
"Those powerful heroes cannot live without wine, let alone swords!"
"Hundreds of poems about drinking wine, one sword dazzles the nine states! This kind of thing also exists in our world of monks."
"According to legend, when wine and sword finally merge into one, one can achieve the status of Wine-Sword Immortal, and the lethality is terrifyingly powerful." Dewey said slowly, his eyes full of longing.
I nodded as a response to him.
At this point, he finally understood the goal of his practice!
Although the Jiu Sword Immortal also has the word "immortal", it is definitely different from the true immortal mentioned by the Supreme Elder. It is an immortal cultivated by monks in our world.
After all, it is one of the legendary sword immortals with the most powerful attacks. Coupled with the Confucian Sect's sharp sword energy, it is not surprising that it can explode with terrifying power.
It's just that everything in this world will be rewarded by hard work. I don't believe that such a powerful Jiujianxian can succeed in cultivation so easily.
Sure enough, the next moment Dewey changed the topic and even his tone became a little lower.
"But the cultivation of Jiu Sword Immortal is very difficult, and the most difficult thing among them is the awakening of Haoran's sword intention." He said.
"Back then, I was young and frivolous. I thought that with my own qualifications, it would not be difficult to awaken Haoran's sword intent."
"Even if no one has achieved it in the history of Qitian Academy, I think I am destined to be the first person to make a breakthrough!"
"But after you really practice, you realize how wrong you were! In the end, you wasted years and wasted time, but your cultivation has always been stagnant, and it is difficult to make further progress."
"Those monks of my generation are already far ahead in their realm. Most of them have left Qitian Academy and gone to higher institutions to study."
"I'm the only one who's stuck here, so hesitant!" Dewey sighed: "You know? Before you came, my Taoist heart was almost shaken, and I doubted whether my original choice was correct again and again."
"It's not difficult to give up. Once I give up, I can still choose other exercises in the academy and continue on."
"In that case, based on my long-term accumulation, my cultivation level is destined to skyrocket in a short period of time! Even if I catch up with or even surpass my original peers, it is not impossible."
"But it's hard to make this decision, and I'm unwilling to do so!" Dewey almost roared out this sentence, and then poured wine into his mouth.
At this moment, his eyes were red and looked very ferocious, which showed how much pressure he was feeling inside.
After continuing to drink heavily for a while, his mood finally calmed down. He looked at me and said with a smile, "Fortunately, my uncle, you are here."
"I didn't feel much at the time. I just thought you were pretty good and could actually defeat the evil monk Vajra who sat on our necks and shit."
"Even if the Supreme Elder later accepts a disciple on his behalf and recognizes you as his junior disciple, I just think that you have good qualifications and a good person, otherwise the Supreme Elder would not choose you."
"This is your creation, and it is also my creation, because you have perfectly combined all the conditions required for the companion I am missing, and can join me to open the creation in that secret realm."
Dewey spoke openly and honestly, not hiding his inner thoughts at all.
Regarding his attitude, I am happy in my heart. As a friend, this is how it should be!
"It wasn't until that day that I suddenly felt something was inside my body, and then amidst the commotion of my fellow sects, I suddenly realized that someone had awakened Haoran's Sword Intent!"
"You know what? I couldn't be more happy when I knew that person was you! I think only you can do such a thing."
"If it were anyone else, I would definitely be jealous. After all, I have spent too much time and still have no clue."
Dewey burst out laughing and said, "Even my body has the feeling of awe-inspiring sword intent. How wonderful! Hahaha..."
Seeing him almost crazy with lust, I was naturally very happy, but there was a doubt in my heart that I could never solve.
"Senior Brother Du, remember you just said that the Haoran Sword Intent in your body is destined not to awaken, so what's going on?" I asked.
"It's not that I won't wake up, it's that I won't wake up like you!" He shook his hand and corrected.
"The sword intention of Jiu Sword Immortal is restrained after awakening and will not be released. All the benefits will be absorbed by himself and will not bring any possible blessings to other disciples."
"It is precisely because of this that the sword of the Jiujianxian is the most powerful." Dewey said, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
I didn't expect that the same awakening of Haoran's Sword Intent would have such a different process and result. This is something I never thought of before.
As if answering the doubts in my eyes, Dewey smiled and said: "Yes, it's about having strength, not sharpness."
"Haoran's sword was accidentally released to open the edge. That kind of sword energy is even sharper!"
"The sword is restrained and is made for home-brew, just like wine. A self-brewed sword is heavier, just like home-brewed wine is more fragrant."
"Therefore, every sword of the Jiujianxian is extremely powerful and destructive. It truly fulfills the connotation of defeating ten enemies with one force!"
"But this is not the whole truth of Jiujianxian!"
"The aroma of aged wine can be smelled from a long distance away. Once it is spilled, it is even more intense."
"The sword energy of the Wine Sword Immortal is like this. It's just its connotation. Every time he swings his sword, there will be a cold sword energy released, weaving into a series of nets, killing every enemy who accidentally falls into the net!"
At this time, Dewey's momentum became stronger for no reason. This was due to his increased inner confidence and his renewed pride after seeing hope for the future.
And I finally understood why his breath intensified with every sip of wine.
This is the true meaning of Jiujianxian!
Every sip of wine must be brewed by oneself. What you drink is wine, but it will eventually merge with the Haoran Sword Intent that is gradually awakening in your body, creating your own unique Wine Sword Immortal Sword Aura.
"By the way, Senior Brother Du, I just heard you say several times about choosing exercises in the academy. What's going on?" I asked curiously, but I was completely ignorant of this topic.
"Why, you don't know?" He asked with an unbelievable look on his face.
But soon, this doubt turned into relief, and Dewey laughed at himself: "That's right... you are the elder's junior brother now, so it doesn't matter if you don't know this."
Finally, with Dewey's explanation, I gained another understanding of the academy. (To be continued)
