"I heard that Liang Qiufeng returned empty-handed from the Sword Enlightenment Tower and did not understand any sword questions."
"As expected, how can the Xuanjie Sword Question be solved so easily?"
"No, I remember that in the past three years of teaching in the sword hall, a Xuanjie sword question was like a roadblock. Senior Brother Luo Gang and the others were helpless."
"Liang Qiufeng can only reach the third level of Jin Dao. If it were me, I would definitely change the reward method. Now it's better. I'm so ambitious and achieve nothing, and I can't get any benefits..."
"You can't say that. This guy didn't understand the sword problem, but his cultivation has broken through to the fourth level of strength."
"Tch, so what? In the realm of cultivation, as long as the heat is there, a breakthrough will naturally come naturally. Or, he just happened to reach the critical point of breakthrough."
"I remember that he entered the Jianfu with a strong strength."
"In a few months, he broke through from the first stage of strength to the fourth stage, which is really good in terms of speed. But that's all. As we all know, it is not difficult to break through in the early stages of strength. Besides, he is not young.
The potential is ultimately insufficient.”
"Haha, do you know that after returning from Wujian Tower, I seem to be in a good mood. I have eaten well, slept soundly, and can't find the slightest sense of loss."
"Are you trying to put on a happy face and pretend you don't care?"
"Who knows, what I am most interested in is whether Elder Xiao will be disappointed after this incident?"
"That's for sure. Elder Xiao has already called Liang Qiufeng to the inner palace, and he must be reprimanded."
"So, this kid's luck is coming to an end. Without Elder Xiao's protection and being beaten back to his original shape, he is nothing..."
After Liang Qiufeng came out of Wujian Tower, the news spread faster than the wind, causing waves of discussion.
…
Inner Mansion, Xiao Jihai’s courtyard.
Under the shade of greenery, on a stone table, there is a purple clay pot, with hot steam rising from the spout, exuding an evocative fragrance.
Xiao Jihai and Liang Qiufeng sat across from each other, each with a white porcelain cup in front of them.
Xiao Jihai reached out to lift the purple clay pot, poured tea into the two cups, and then said with a smile: "Qiu Feng, drink tea."
Treat each other as equals and treat each other with courtesy. If those disciples saw him, their eyes would pop out and they would be stunned.
Among the four elders of the Jian Mansion, although Elder Xiao has the most peaceful personality, the elder is the elder and the disciple is the disciple. There is a huge gap in status between the two. Being able to sit together is a bad luck, and the elder has to take the initiative to pour tea for the disciple.
, this simply subverts common sense.
At the beginning, Liang Qiufeng felt very restrained, but gradually he relaxed physically and mentally and became much more relaxed.
Picking up the white porcelain cup and taking a sip of tea, the green tea enters the entrance. Suddenly, a warm breath flows from the throat and reaches the internal organs. The pores all over the body are opened. How can I say "refreshing"?
"The name of this tea is 'Dingyuan'. Drinking a cup of it will be very beneficial to your newly achieved breakthrough."
Hearing this, Liang Qiufeng suddenly understood. He had read in the illustrated information that Dingyuan tea was ranked as a sixth-grade elixir. Brewing tea and drinking it can strengthen the essence and strengthen the body. Its price is based on grams, and every gram is worth more than
One hundred kilograms of rice.
Sure enough, after drinking a cup of tea, the energy in Dantian, which was still a little unstable, quickly settled down and became orderly.
"Elder Xiao, please forgive me for asking, why are you so nice to me?"
They were strangers to each other, and they only met two or three times.
Xiao Jihai narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Maybe I am getting old and want to find a disciple."
The "disciples" he spoke of were by no means ordinary Jianfu disciples, but true disciples who were able to pass on the mantle.
For a moment, Liang Qiufeng's heart beat so fast. After a while, he regained his composure. He knew in his heart that Elder Xiao must have something more to say:
"This time I failed to understand the sword problem. If you are depressed and discouraged because of this, you will not sit in front of me now. Because failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that you lose your fighting spirit after failure."
After a pause, he glanced meaningfully at Liang Qiufeng: "Now your character and character are barely passing the test, but your cultivation level is still too low."
Liang Qiufeng smiled sarcastically.
I know my own affairs, and it is really difficult to show off my fourth-level cultivation. If Elder Xiao accepts me as a true disciple, he will be drowned in countless spits.
Xiao Jihai added: "You don't have to belittle yourself. There are some things I wanted to wait for you to become an inner disciple, but I have no choice but to wait for you... In a word, the future belongs to you; Jianfu belongs to you - this
, is the only reason why I am so good to you."
Liang Qiufeng was shocked, stood up, and bowed respectfully to this respectable elder of Jianfu: "Elder Xiao, your kindness in knowing me will be unforgettable for me."
Xiao Jihai said with emotion: "Work hard and strive for everything you should strive for, ideals, glory, and achievements. Young people should be passionate, have aspirations, and strive for something. Only in this way will your life be worthwhile!"
A young man should be passionate, have aspirations, and fight...
These words touched Liang Qiufeng's heart.
He said loudly: "Elder Xiao, I will do my best to repay your expectations."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go down and practice your sword."
Xiao Jihai's expression was solemn.
Liang Qiufeng said with a shy face: "Um...Elder Xiao, can I have another cup of tea?"
Xiao Jihai laughed dumbly: "If you want to drink it, you won't fall down. Do you need me to do it?"
Liang Qiufeng quietly stuck out his tongue, quickly poured a cup of tea, and then filled it with Xiao Jihai. After drinking, he trotted out the door.
"This boy!"
Xiao Jihai laughed and cursed.
Unknowingly, my originally depressed mood actually became cheerful.
Ever since Tiandumen blatantly released black locusts, creating an insect disaster and severely damaging Jianfu's spiritual field production area, the entire Jianfu has a sense of oppression that is about to come. Internal and external difficulties, if you are not careful, a thousand-year-old foundation will be destroyed.
Once it is destroyed, it will be taken over by tigers and wolves.
If so, it would be better to die!
What he said to Liang Qiufeng before was supposed to wait until he became an inner disciple, but because of the pressing situation, he said it in advance. It seemed a bit too early to confide in his heart, and it was not in line with the procedure.
"Forget it, it is expedient to set a goal for him first. This can be pressure or motivation. You have to adjust and look at the pros and cons. The waves are never merciful."
Xiao Jihai drank tea alone, determined in his heart:
The next key is the year-end assessment. The assessment results will be directly related to the Huangzhou Sect Competition next spring.
But before that, the time for the annual Sword Lecture Hall is coming soon.
Last year’s Sword Lecture Hall unexpectedly discovered Liang Qiufeng. So, are there any surprises in this year’s Sword Lecture Hall?
