Chapter Seven: A Sword at the Mountain Gate
After a full cup of tea, Xie Ling was able to extract his consciousness from the Yujue. What was recorded in the Yujue was the 'Spirit-Seizing Technique'. There were more than a thousand words in total, and each word was intricate and profound. It was not
You can understand it all at once
What's more, at this deep and dangerous place, Nan Li and others had been planning for Huang Yangnu for so long and would never give up. After careful consideration, he decided to part ways with Zhang Ting and return to Cangyue Sect once Zhang Ting recovered his spiritual power.
.
More than an hour later, when the sky began to light up, Zhang Ting finally fell into trance and opened his eyes.
"Have you fully recovered?" Xie Ling asked.
"My spiritual power has been fully restored, but..." Zhang Ting paused after saying this.
Why didn't Xie Ling understand what he meant? As a talisman cultivator, the most powerful skill is the magic of talismans. Even if Zhang Ting has a few magic weapons, a talisman cultivator without talismans is like a tiger without teeth.
The matter has been eliminated by 70% to 80%. But Xie Ling is not a good person. He still wants to save himself.
His mother. He only had thirty years, and within thirty years he must condense the golden elixir. This was his agreement with the soul! Therefore, he could not waste any more time for Zhang Ting, so he said: "In that case
, then let’s say goodbye, I haven’t returned to the sect for a long time!”
Zhang Ting remained silent.
Xie Ling had already fulfilled his promise to him, and it was good to be able to wait until now. He couldn't say anything about dragging Xie Ling, who had nothing to do with the matter, into this whirlpool.
"Okay! Let's say goodbye." After a while, he looked at Xie Ling who got up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Xie Ling did not stop. He was afraid that he would stay if he was too soft-hearted. After all, the two of them had experienced life and death together.
The morning breeze blew Xie Ling's hair. He took a deep breath and felt the fresh air. Then a colorful ray of light broke through the restriction and disappeared in the mountains in an instant.
--------------------------------------------------
A month later, outside the Tianquan Peak of Cang Yue Sect in the Golden Tooth Mountain Range, a colorful ray of light came from the warm mountains in the distance. Such a big movement naturally alarmed the disciples on duty who were patrolling outside the mountain gate.
The ones on duty today were Zhang Yuqing and Zhu Yan from the Sword Trial Academy. They took the eight Qi Refining Stage disciples from their academy and saw the sword formation formation coming from afar to greet the Escape Light Formation.
The five-color escaping light was extremely fast, and it reached thirty sheets away in an instant. As soon as the escaping light faded, a young man in a green shirt, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a dark long sword on his back, appeared from inside.
"It's you!" Zhang Yuqing and Zhu Yan were surprised when they saw the appearance of the person coming.
"Senior Brother Zhang, I wish you all the best!" Xie Ling cupped her hands and said with a smile.
These two men had recently forced Xie Ling to take the weapon on the pretext that he had violated the sect's regulations when he had just advanced to the intermediate weapon disciple level. In addition to taking turns patrolling the mountain, disciples below the rank of sergeant were not allowed to fly magical weapons on Tianquan Peak.
Zhang Yuqing's sword.
"Hey, you two are now intermediate swordsmen, congratulations!" Xie Ling noticed that Zhang Yuqing and Zhu Yan were both wearing silver embroidered moon uniforms, and knew that these were common attires for senior monks in the sect.
In the Cang Yue Sect, the trial students are uniformly cyan, and the texture is ordinary linen. When they advance to the junior apprentice level, they wear black Hidden Moon uniforms, and only the shoulder armor is embroidered with the logo of each academy. For example, the weapon refining academy is embroidered
A small cauldron, a small sword embroidered in the Sword Trial Academy, a Tai Chi figure embroidered in the Xiu Shen Academy, and a gourd embroidered in the Alchemy Academy. From now on, except for the elders and sect masters, the costumes will be the same although they have different markings.
When Xie Ling was an intermediate weapon apprentice, he wore a soap-clothed hidden moon suit, but when he became a senior weapon apprentice, he changed into a blue embroidered moon suit. The crescent moon on the clothes was no longer dyed, but was made of silver thread.
Embroidered.
Further up is the sergeant level, with gold, silver and red as the background colors for high, middle and low respectively, with the moon embroidered in gold thread on the back. As for the master level, they usually wear a crescent robe with different colors, depending on the
I like it myself.
Xie Ling was only a high-level weapon disciple before he left the sect. Even though he had established a foundation after returning to the sect, according to regulations, he could only wear the blue embroidered moon uniform.
"What's there to congratulate? I can't compare with Junior Brother Xie. I remember that Junior Brother Xie had just established the Foundation when he left the sect years ago. It only took less than a year. Now he has reached the middle stage of Foundation Construction. If even the landlord knew about it,
I don’t know how happy I will be!" Zhu Yan smiled enviously.
The other eight disciples of the Sword Trial Academy during the Qi Refining Period were all new disciples recruited in recent years. They were not familiar with Xie Ling, but they all became curious after being praised so highly by Zhu Yan, a senior fellow in the academy.
The disciple who can enter the Sword Trial Academy is not a genius. Someone said: "I heard from Senior Brother Zhu that he is very powerful. I wonder how he compares to Senior Brother Zhang?"
"Senior Brother Zhang's swordsmanship has reached the level of proficiency. Even senior brothers who are a level higher than him are no match for him. Among the people of the same level that I know of, except for Senior Brother Jun Wuji from this Academy, the only ones I know are Qing Ming from the Presbyterian Council and Xiu Shen Academy.
Situ Ao can compare with him."
"I heard that there is a very powerful Jiang Tong in the Weapon Refining Academy, but unfortunately I have never seen him. But how can someone from a place like that be compared to this academy? This is probably an exaggeration."
The voices of these people were not loud, but every word entered Xie Ling's ears clearly. He smiled, he was not a brave and ruthless person, and he was worried about Jingyi in his heart, so he clasped his fists and said, "Yeah
I don’t know what the current situation of our hospital is. If you two senior brothers have nothing else to do, I’ll leave first!” After saying that, he headed towards Tianquan Peak.
"etc!"
Xie Ling looked at the handsome young man opposite in surprise.
Zhang Yuqing's face is relatively thin, with sharp features. Because he is usually taciturn, there are not many people who are particularly close to him in the sect. Zhu Yan is one of them.
Zhu Yan turned to look at him and saw that the fighting spirit in his eyes had been ignited. He knew that with his character, he could not persuade him to stop. What's more, he was also curious about what Xie Ling, who was so weak in front of the two of him, was doing now.
How far has it grown, so I stayed silent and watched the changes.
"Thank you, junior brother, I will definitely benefit a lot from this trip to the middle stage of foundation building. If you don't mind, Yu Qing would like to have a discussion with junior brother here, how about it?" Zhang Yuqing said slowly.
Xie Ling was not stupid. He already knew what Zhang Yuqing was going to say when he called him. Seeing that Zhu Yan was silent on the side, he smiled faintly. In his heart, he actually wanted to see what he was doing with his clan after so many years of hard training.
How big the gap is between the geniuses inside, so he nodded, thought for a moment and said: "Senior brother, I still remember the sword that I taught you back then. Junior brother, this is where the mountain gate is after all. If senior brother doesn't dislike it, then
How about you teach me another sword?"
At this time, Xie Ling was no longer Wu Xia's Amen, and his words were neither humble nor overbearing, showing everyone's demeanor.
"He actually asked Senior Brother Zhang to draw the sword first!"
The eight Qi Refining Stage disciples of the Sword Trial Academy behind Zhang Yuqing looked at Xie Ling opposite in shock. Although it was just a sword, everyone knew how difficult it was to resist Zhang Yuqing's sword.
"Okay, just one sword!" Zhang Yuqing only hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Zhu Yan chuckled and said to the eight people behind him: "Let's go to one side!" As he spoke, his figure floated to the left more than ten feet away and stood with his hands behind his back. The other eight people naturally followed closely, because they were only competing for one move, and the two of them were bound to do it.
I will go all out, but if I get too close, I might endanger the fish in the pond.
Xie Ling and Zhang Yuqing stood opposite each other in the void, with a distance of twenty feet between them. This distance was really not long enough for them now. When Zhang Yuqing was at the thirteenth level of Qi refining stage, he had some reservations.
Xie Ling, who can use his sword energy to attack five feet away, is now an intermediate swordsman. He can swing his sword with sword energy up to thirty feet away, which is one-third farther than ordinary swordsmen of the same level.
On the surface, Xie Ling looked calm and calm, but in fact, his eyes had been locked on Zhang Yuqing's every move.
The corners of Zhang Yuqing's mouth turned up slightly. He would have this expression when he was highly nervous and excited. Zhu Yan, who was familiar with his personality, became a little nervous when he saw it. Could he... that meteor that looked like a star in the sky?
····Once you see it once, you will never forget it.
The two of them didn't make any move, but the atmosphere was so oppressive that even nine people more than ten feet away could feel it, take action, they seemed to be thinking silently in their hearts.
Zhang Yuqing did not disappoint them. He used his sword. This was his second sword. It was awarded to him by Shen Shichao, the master of the Sword Trial Academy, when he became an intermediate swordsman. It was named 'Juxing'.
The high-end low-grade sword was many times stronger than his original one.
He raised the 'Star Gathering' high above his head, and the three-foot-long sword emitted a blue light, like the starlight in the night sky.
"Junior brother, you have to be careful, I'm about to take action!"
Xie Ling nodded, his eyes became solemn, and the black water heavy sword behind him flew into the sky with a long roar. He also drew his sword, which was a sign of respect for his opponent.
"What a sword!" A ray of light flashed in Zhang Yuqing's eyes, and then he dropped the sword.
In the eyes of everyone, his movements were not fast, but Xie Ling, who was opposite him, felt that the surroundings suddenly became dark and dull, and the void was terrifyingly quiet.
The hair-like sword energy cut into pieces, and the dark void around him was filled with sharp sword energy, which even the divine consciousness could not penetrate.
Xie Ling's right hand pointed at the black water epee above his head, and all seventeen restrictions on it were activated. The sound of roaring waves immediately resounded throughout the void, and the black water epee turned into a black water of more than ten feet wide, protecting Xie Ling inside.
Suddenly there was a clear sound, and the sword energy in the void flashed with azure light. You can clearly see with the naked eye that countless sword threads are converging in one direction, forming a blue star point on the horizon.
At first, it is like a star in the distant sky. The starlight is delicate and soft, not dazzling. As you appreciate its softness, it becomes brighter and brighter, and you can still vaguely hear a low roar. Until you look at it again
When you can't look directly at it with both eyes, you realize that it is very close to you.
