Over at Kunlun, it seems that the matter of becoming a Taoist couple with Xu Yinglian has been decided.
The junior sister herself did not express any objection, but she practiced Kunlun sword fighting skills at the gate of the cave, day and night.
I am working hard to defeat my senior brother in swordsmanship!
Of course, being a Taoist couple is just an identity relationship after all.
What really matters is that after becoming a Taoist couple, you can legitimately propose dual cultivation...
Let's not mention this matter for now, because it involves Xu Yinglian's obsession and even inner demons, so we have to wait for the follow-up arrangements of Headmaster Ziwei.
In the past few days, Qiu Changtian was just calmly refining his Qi, enjoying the hard-won precious time without being disturbed by his junior sister.
Every once in a while, he uses the Kunlun Mirror to travel through time and space, returning to Shushan at the last save time, and continues to lurk patiently as Ling Yunpo, pretending to practice.
Unfortunately, due to not showing off for many days, the synchronization rate of the Autumn Sky Invincible device has slowly dropped, and has now fallen to the 90% threshold, staying at the 87% water level.
This morning, Ling Yunpo finally passed the three levels with "difficulty" and reported the good news to Senior Sister An.
"That's great, junior brother!" An Zhisu said happily, "As far as I know, the fastest person in Shushan to clear the three levels took almost seven days."
"The fact that you can enter the Qi Refining stage within ten days proves that your cultivation qualifications are also first-rate. It's a pity that the master is not in retreat, otherwise he must also know this good news..."
"Senior sister." Seeing that she was about to cry again, Ling Yunpo quickly changed the subject and asked curiously, "There is someone in Shushan who opened up the Qi Sea in seven days, and is more powerful than me? Who is it?"
"It's me." An Zhisu said sheepishly, "Actually, it doesn't matter if it's three days too fast or three days too late. We Shushan Sword Immortals are not particular about the speed of Qi refining. The most important thing is our sword control skills."
"I see." Ling Yunpo pretended to be unwilling, "It seems that my ability to pass three levels in ten days is not an outstanding qualification..."
"That's not right!" Seeing his junior brother's disappointment, An Zhisu quickly changed his words, "The time it takes to pass three levels can still reflect the quality of your aptitude!"
"It's just that the difference between seven days and ten days is not that big..."
She hesitated and then suddenly changed the subject:
"That's right! Now that you have mastered the art of sword control, senior sister will take you to the sword pool to get the sword!"
With that said, An Zhisu summoned his flying sword with a smile, and took off directly into the sky with Ling Yunpo on his back.
"Senior sister, this flying sword of yours is..." Ling Yunpo asked curiously, pretending that he had never seen flying sword before.
"This is my natal sword, a tenth-level water-type weapon called 'Frostfall'." An Zhisu explained.
Ling Yun couldn't help but asked again:
"What is the tenth level? What is the water system?"
"I'm about to tell my junior brother clearly." An Zhisu said with a smile.
"Flying swords can be divided into five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth according to the differences in refining materials, environment, time, and even the refining person and the sealing method."
"Similarly, according to the difference in refining materials and the skill of the sword maker, according to the Tiangan sword-making method, the grades from low to high are Gui, Ren, Xin, Geng, Ji, Wu, Ding, C, Yi, and A. But we
Generally, they are referred to by tens, that is, levels one to ten."
"Levels one to nine correspond to the nine realms of foundation building, golden elixir, and Yuanying respectively. The level of Feijian is higher than that of Sword Immortal, and it can also be solved through sealing. If the level is lower than that of Sword Immortal, it is like a general's
If the weapon is not handy enough, the Sword Immortal will not be able to exert his full strength."
"And the tenth-level flying sword on the top floor is a 'flying sword that even an immortal can exert its power', so it has the nickname of 'immortal sword'."
"I see." Although Ling Yunpo already knew this, he still asked with a smile, "But I wonder if I will be lucky enough to receive a fairy sword to use?"
"The flying swords and tenth-level swords in the sword pool are very rare." An Zhisu hesitated for a moment, then comforted him, "But junior brother, don't worry too much."
"The most exquisite part of my Shushan sword-controlling method is 'nurturing the sword with one's body'."
"As long as the level of the flying sword itself is not too bad, after you refine it into a natal sword, it can be refined as your cultivation level increases, and there is even a certain chance of improving its level."
Ling Yunpo nodded, but thought in his heart:
Instead of picking up a ninth-level sword and raising it to the tenth level with my body, why not just pick up the tenth-level one?
What if I develop to level 11?
Of course, according to the implication of the senior sister's words, the flying swords in the sword pool are not just for you to take whichever one you want.
Maybe there are still some tests to pass.
An Zhisu controlled the flying sword and took Ling Yunpo to the sky above Jianfeng.
The Sword Pond is a pool of turquoise water.
It is said that every drop of water in the lake is actually transformed by a flying sword.
The Shushan Sword Immortal loves to fight fiercely and loves swords as much as his life, especially in the outside world.
Whenever he competed with other practitioners, after winning, he would often snatch the flying sword from others and throw it into the pool when he came back.
Over time, such a sword pool was created.
Countless flying swords are sharpening and fighting each other in it. Looking outside is a pool of rippling spring water. The ripples are spontaneous and windless. It is a wonderful scene.
As for Shushan disciples who are short of swords, they only need to stand near the sword pond and use the Shushan Sword Controlling Technique to summon flying swords from it that are willing to answer the call.
As for whether Feijian is good or bad, we can't force it.
After taking Ling Yunpo and pressing down the sword light, and stepping onto the ground, An Zhisu explained the history to his junior brother and told the story of the origin of this sword pond.
Ling Yunpo was amazed when he heard this and clapped his hands in admiration.
As soon as the two of them stepped forward, a Shushan disciple guarding the sword pool came over to verify their identity:
"Wait a minute, you are..."
After the female disciple saw An Zhisu's appearance clearly, she immediately lost her voice and said:
"You are! The grass-cutting swordsman..."
Before she finished speaking, the male disciple next to her dragged her behind her, gave her a stern look to silence her, then turned around and said bravely:
"Senior Sister An, are you here to get the sword?"
"What else could I do if I came to the Sword Pond not to pick up a sword?" An Zhisu smiled softly, "Could it be that I'm looking for you to compete with each other?"
The male disciple was immediately frightened after hearing this and said anxiously:
"I made a mistake in my sword practice the day before yesterday and injured my tendons, but I can't compete with the sword anymore! Senior Sister An, don't come looking for me. That title was not created by my peak, but was passed down from other peaks! Every injustice has its own debt.
Lord, Senior Sister An must never admit your mistake!"
"Look what this junior brother said." An Zhisu laughed dumbly, "You are a disciple of the marrow-cleansing level, but I am a Huafu level disciple. My cultivation level is one level higher than yours. How can I compete with you in sword competition? Isn't it because I am a great disciple?"
Bullying the younger ones and violating the house rules?"
"Yes, yes, Senior Sister An, do you want to take the sword? This way, please, this way." The male disciple, as if he had been granted amnesty, quickly bowed and let him go.
An Zhisu walked forward calmly, and Ling Yunpo followed behind her. He saw the male disciple couldn't help wiping his sweat, and the female disciple was hiding behind him, looking suspicious and frightened.
After leaving these two people behind, Ling Yunpo took a few steps forward and said with a smile:
"I've finally seen Senior Sister's reputation."
"Where is the reputation?" An Zhisu rolled his eyes at him and said helplessly, "It's just that when the master retreated hastily, the peaks of Shu Mountain targeted our Qingluo Peak and sent disciples to my peak every now and then to provoke me and ask for a sword showdown."
"If you compete too much, everyone will know each other, and it won't be considered famous."
"I see, this is the so-called 'no fight, no acquaintance'." Ling Yunpo nodded, "It's just that the 'lawn-cutting swordsman' that the senior sister mentioned just now, I don't know who she is referring to?"
An Zhisu was greatly embarrassed when he heard this, and after a long while he said in a low voice:
"Who came up with this bad nickname?"
"After Master went into seclusion, there were so many people coming to ask for swordsmanship that I couldn't bear to be disturbed. In order to establish my authority, I had to be ruthless and hit harder... Why did it turn into mowing the grass?"
Ling Yun suddenly realized something and said with a sneer:
"I understand. I guess it was those swordsmen who were unwilling to lose, so they spread rumors and slandered Senior Sister."
"Just hearing the name 'Grass-cutting Sword Fairy', I thought that my senior sister had killed many people. This rumormonger ruined my senior sister's reputation. It's really hateful!"
"Where can there be such indiscriminate killing?" An Zhisu bit his silver teeth and said angrily, "When have I ever killed indiscriminately?"
"If the person who comes to have a sword show is polite, I will stop there."
"If they utter arrogant words or show malice, I usually just cut off their natal sword, causing them to damage their cultivation level, and just teach them a lesson."
"Occasionally I couldn't hold back my hand and stabbed someone through the chest and abdomen...I tried my best to save him afterwards!"
"Senior Sister, you did it right." Ling Yunpo nodded and said, "Those who came to provoke maliciously deserve to die! Well... so how many died?"
"Probably... I only missed once or twice out of twenty times." An Zhisu felt guilty.
