Chapter 0156: Sword Cultivator’s Pilgrimage
The Lord of Silver Moon Palace decided to go with Qin Lingxi to find Qin Chu because the Silver Moon Palace was now stable, the Hanxing Dynasty had stopped the war, and the Silver Moon Palace had enough guards under the supervision of Xue Taishang.
After the arrangements were made, the Lord of Silver Moon Palace and Qin Lingxi got on a beast cart together.
"Sister Lingxi, I didn't leave Qin Chu behind. It was my fault. I didn't think about it carefully. When Qin Chu came, I felt that he looked a bit like you. How could we be similar if we were not family members?" The Lord of Silver Moon Palace sighed. She felt that she had flaws in her handling of the matter.
"It doesn't matter. We will find him. Although he is a little dazed, he is not stupid!" Qin Lingxi said. She learned about Qin Chu from Mo Daozi and the Silver Moon Palace, which made her judge her nephew. Qin Chu's mind was still very high, and he was not rigid in doing things.
Qin Chu was riding in a beast cart and heading towards Tianjian Mountain. When he encountered a monster blocking the road, he killed it and roasted it directly; when he encountered a robber, he killed it directly and then robbed it. His beast cart was upgraded to a high-end one. He also robbed it. It was a young man from a wealthy family who drove the beast cart. Not only did he force him to give way, but the guard driving the car also spoke rudely. As a result, Qin Chu beat up the master and servant, and then exchanged the beast carts. Originally, Qin Chu wanted to keep the young man's maid, but he thought about it and gave up. That would be a robbery of a common woman, which was not authentic, because even if he released the woman later, the woman's innocence could not be explained.
Sitting in the comfortable beast cart, Qin Chu felt very good. The high-end beast cart was comfortable, relatively stable, and there was no bumps.
When night came, Qin Chu would drive the beast cart into the mountain, feed the monster driving the car in the mountain, and then meditate and practice.
In addition to practicing, Qin Chu would also study alchemy. After obtaining Mu Yuanling's alchemy, recipes and experience, Qin Chu's understanding of alchemy was also improved to a higher level. With the recipes in hand, he could refine more pills.
As he moved forward, Qin Chu was getting closer and closer to Tianjian Mountain, and he was a little excited.
Tianjian Mountain is a pilgrimage site for sword cultivators. Coming to Tianjian Mountain is a tempering of one's own swordsmanship. Of course, one must have a certain foundation in swordsmanship. If one's own swordsmanship foundation is not enough, then what is obtained is not an improvement, but a destruction.
The sword intent released by Tianjian Mountain is very strong. If the foundation of the sword intent is not stable, then before the tempering and improvement, the sword intent released by Tianjian Mountain will impact and collapse the cultivator's own sword intent. This is also the reason why one needs to have a foundation of the third-level sword intent to enter Tianjian Mountain.
Of course, if you have not reached the level of the third-level sword intent, you can come. You can observe from a distance on the periphery of Tianjian Mountain and observe the sword intent released by the cultivators who enter, and use this method to promote yourself.
As he got closer to Tianjian Mountain, Qin Chu met more and more sword cultivators, including groups of sect and family disciples, and individual cultivators.
These people did not have any conflicts, as they all came to improve their sword skills.
Some distance away from Tianjian Mountain, there is a big city, Tianjian City ruled by Shengwu Sect. The city is very prosperous. Tianjian Mountain attracts sword cultivators to come here, so the development here is naturally good.
Entering the city, Qin Chu drove the beast cart to an inn, deposited the beast cart, rested for a night, and then went to Tianjian Mountain with a long sword on his back.
Tianjian Mountain is located in the north of Tianjian City. It is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, and the mountain is unpredictable. The main reason is that no one can climb to the top of the mountain. Even if a sixth-level king can fly, he cannot approach Tianjian Mountain. If he approaches, he will be killed by the sword. There was such a precedent. A sword cultivator was disdainful of the magic of Tianjian Mountain and flew into the mountain. As a result, he was pierced by thousands of swords and died.
As he approached Tianjian Mountain, Qin Chu saw many practitioners, some with swords on their backs, some with swords on their waists. Without exception, they were all sword cultivators, but their habits were different.
After moving forward for a distance, Qin Chu saw many young men and young men sitting on the ground. Their eyes fell on Tianjian Mountain. Qin Chu knew that these sword cultivators had insufficient sword skills and could only observe from the periphery.
Continuing forward, Qin Chu found that there were many people observing. This situation lasted for a distance before it changed. It should be said that there was a boundary, which was a sword-shaped stele. Everything was stable outside the stele, but it was different inside the stele. The people inside were full of sword intent, and their faces were solemn, as if they were carrying something.
Qin Chu understood that after passing the boundary of the stele, he would have to bear the suppression of the third-level sword intent. Without the third-level sword intent, he could not enter!
At this time, Qin Chu also knew the rarity of sword intent, because the number of sword cultivators who passed the stele was limited, but the number of those outside was countless.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Chu walked towards the stele.
"You silly boy, what are you doing?" A middle-aged man grabbed Qin Chu's shoulder.
"I want to go in!" Qin Chu looked at the middle-aged man who was holding him in confusion.
"Silly boy, you must have the third-level sword intent to enter. Without the foundation of the third-level sword intent, you can't understand anything, and it will also cast a shadow on your heart. You must remember that haste makes waste." The middle-aged man said to Qin Chu.
This is a kind sword cultivator. Qin Chu respects him in his heart and bows to the middle-aged man.
Smiling at Qin Chu, the middle-aged man entered the boundary of the inscription, which surprised Qin Chu for a while. Originally, he thought that the middle-aged man's sword intent was not at the third level, but now it is obviously not the case.
The middle-aged man left, and many people looked at Qin Chu with the same eyes as they looked at a fool. Wanting to enter Tianjian Mountain without the third-level sword intent, isn't that asking for trouble? Anyone with a little common sense would not do this.
"Boy, where is my beast cart? Give it back to me and we'll be done!" At this time, a young man in brocade clothes appeared, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Qin Chu recognized that it was the guy whose beast cart he had robbed.
"I'll give it to you. I'll leave it at the inn and give it to you later. Take good care of your servants in the future and don't be too arrogant." Qin Chu said to the young man in brocade clothes.
"Since you have a good attitude and we are both sword cultivators, I will forgive you." The young man in brocade clothes said.
"I accept your forgiveness. You can have fun slowly. I'm leaving!" Qin Chu said and walked towards the inscription.
"You are courting death. Come back!" The young man in brocade clothes reached out and pulled Qin Chu, but Qin Chu had already entered the inscription.
This surprised the cultivators outside the inscription. Someone had persuaded him before and after, but why didn't he know how to advance or retreat? Isn't this destroying his future?
At this time, Qin Chu felt a sword intent pressing towards him, and immediately used his own sword intent.
Under the shocked eyes of the sword cultivators watching outside the inscription, Qin Chu's sword intent burst out, first-level sword intent, second-level sword intent...
The sword intent rose to the second-level level, and Qin Chu began to move forward, but after a few steps, he felt that it was not going well. The sword intent pressing down from Tianjian Mountain was too strong, and the second-level sword intent could not withstand it, and the third-level sword intent burst out immediately.
