Chapter 243 Ying Juexiao (Third Update)

In the evening, in the Emerald Valley.

Shi Xuan sat cross-legged beside the calm lake, which looked like a piece of green jade, and watched the seven outer disciples in front of him practicing the sword formation. After a whole day of practice, they were finally able to bring out the feeling of cooperation this morning. Although there were still many shortcomings, they could be regarded as having initially mastered the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations Formation.

Strangely enough, Shi Xuan thought that the monks of the Luofu Sect who were good at swords would decide on someone to come and spar with him today, and he also thought that Ning Wuque might find someone to come and provoke him today. As a result, until the evening, except for the disciples who came to deliver lunch and dinner, he did not see a single monk come to his house.

Just as Shi Xuan was thinking this, two crystal white lights flew from afar and landed outside the Emerald Valley. A mellow voice sounded: "Is Daoist Shi here? Gong Xujing from Guanghan Sect is here to visit."

Because he was tricked by Yan Qianying, Shi Xuan didn't have a very good impression of Guanghan Sect, but Gong Xujing was a good person and had some friendship with him. In addition, Penglai Sect and Guanghan Sect had been friendly for thousands of years. Meng Nishang, who helped Master Jiang, was a senior master of Guanghan Sect. Later, Master Jiang mentioned that she had survived three heavenly tribulations, so Shi Xuan would definitely not turn Gong Xujing away.

"Daoist Gong is here to visit. I am sorry for not welcoming you." Shi Xuan said loudly, signaling Ren Shuiyao and the others to stop, and at the same time, he took Luo Banshan and Tang Youqiu to the valley entrance.

Gong Xujing looked a bit more mature than before, like he was in his thirties, and standing next to him was a young girl with a delicate but cold face. Shi Xuan felt as if he saw a piece of ice crystal.

Seeing Shi Xuan coming out, Gong Xujing folded his hands and said, "I haven't seen you for more than fifty years. Daoist Shi is still as elegant as ever, but I have grown a few years older." He must have been wandering in the state of spiritual perfection for nearly a hundred years.

"Daoist Gong, why are you saying that? I think Daoist Gong has become more advanced. Who is this?" Shi Xuan asked the cold and silent girl in white.

"I was so excited to see my old friend that I forgot to introduce her." Gong Xujing apologized, then pointed at the girl in white gauze with awe and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi, this is our sect's ancestor Lou Yizhi. ancestor Lou, this is the head of Penglai Sect's Tianji Peak, Taoist Master Shi Xuan."

When Gong Xujing mentioned Lou Yizhi's name, Shi Xuan immediately remembered the happy event that had spread among the upper echelons of several major sects a few years ago. When Lou Yizhi achieved the top grade, the people from other sects who went to congratulate her looked at her strangely. The soul-stage cultivators of Guanghan Sect and other Jindan masters all called her ancestor.

Later, they asked a familiar cultivator out of confusion, and found out that it was because Meng Nishang saw that the sect had only produced Yan Qianying, a top-grade golden elixir master in the past one or two hundred years, who was better than the Penglai Sect, the Netherworld Sect, and even the Medicine King Sect. So when she saw Lou Yizhi, a little girl with outstanding talent, she wanted to accept her as her disciple, and took her in as her inner disciple. In this way, Lou Yizhi's seniority was several generations higher, and even Yan Qianying had to respectfully call her the ancestor when she saw her.

However, Lou Yizhi was indeed extraordinary in cultivation. He left his body at the age of thirteen, drew in qi at eight years, had a spirit and soul at twenty-three years, had a perfect spirit and soul at twenty-nine years, and achieved a top-grade golden elixir at thirty-eight years. It was worth it for Meng Nishang to personally train him. This also shows from the side that for a sect suppressed by a real Yuanshen, even if it has not produced a high-grade golden elixir master for several generations and has begun to decline in the eyes of outsiders, it is actually not a big deal. For example, in the past few decades, Yaowang Sect, Tianhuo Sect, Xuemo Sect, and Guanghan Sect have successively produced one or two high-grade golden elixirs, and have returned to the same level as the other four sects.

The reason why it is called a happy event is that after the high-level cultivators of these sects came back, they always talked about this matter, imagining that the cultivators of Guanghan Sect who were one or two hundred years old in the past were overjoyed to call a ten-year-old girl in the out-of-body stage as their ancestor.

"So it's Senior Lou, I, Shi Xuan, am rude." Although the seniority of Guanghan Sect has nothing to do with Penglai Sect, in terms of cultivation, Lou Yizi can also let Shi Xuan call him senior.

Lou Yizi nodded coldly: "Yes." The voice was like ice beads falling on a jade plate. If Shi Xuan hadn't heard that she was a cultivator who was expressionless and taciturn all year round, he would have thought that she was looking for trouble. Moreover, Shi Xuan suddenly understood why Yan Qianying sent Lou Yizhi as the representative of the sect and also sent Gong Xujing, a cultivator of the Soul Stage who was good at dancing with long sleeves. At this time, Gong Xujing smiled slightly awkwardly and communicated with Shi Xuan with his spiritual consciousness: "Master Lou has always been like this, Daoist Fellow Shi, please don't be surprised."

Shi Xuan replied in his spiritual consciousness: "Shi has heard about it a long time ago, Daoist Fellow Gong, there is no need to explain." Moreover, Lou Yizhi is somewhat similar to his master, both of whom are expressionless, and Shi Xuan has gotten used to it. However, Shi Xuan suddenly had a whim, if Lou Yizhi and his master met, what kind of cold performance would it be.

Invited the two to enter the valley, several outer disciples and Luofu Sect's errand boys had already set up a wooden table and three small stools, on which were placed tea cups and other items.

"Okay, you can go down and rest." Shi Xuan instructed Jiang Nianqiao and others. They were so surprised that they almost cheered out loud. A day of practice had exhausted them and they wanted to lie down and take a nap right away.

"We also know that Fellow Daoist Shi is coming on behalf of your sect because of the excitement in Luofu Sect, so we come to bother you." Gong Xujing sat down and spoke with a smile.

Shi Xuan did not go out today, so he slightly raised his mouth: "Oh, I wonder what the excitement is?"

Gong Xujing said with a smile: "Because Fellow Daoist Shi only accepted the challenge of one cultivator, the sword masters of Luofu Sect started fighting among themselves, trying to compete for superiority. And how could those Luofu disciples who are fanatical about swordsmanship let go of such a thing, so the fighting stage is three layers inside and three layers outside, and it is impossible to get through."

Shi Xuan understood why no cultivators from Luofu Sect came today, it turned out that they were fighting among themselves: "Has the winner been decided now?"

"Xinghe Sword Ying Juexiao narrowly defeated Yinsi Sword Hu Yunsong by half a move. I'm afraid he will come to you tomorrow to learn from you, Fellow Daoist Shi." Gong Xujing seemed to have this He came here after watching the fight of Luofu Sect. At the same time, he said solemnly, "Ying Juexiao is a master of the Soul Stage for many years. More than ten years ago, he also practiced the peerless swordsmanship of Sword Qi and Thunder Sound. Fellow Daoist Shi, you must not be careless."

Shi Xuan smiled and nodded, indicating that he knew that the general information of several sword masters of Luofu Sect, except for the recently emerged Hu Yunsong, was available in Penglai Sect. As a sect fanatic about swordsmanship, Luofu Sect has had several masters who practiced Sword Qi and Thunder Sound in the Soul Stage in the past hundred years, such as Qiao Mubai, a sword-playing madman who has already reached the upper grade golden elixir, and Ying Juexiao is one of them. Another one who is still in the Soul Stage and has also practiced Sword Qi and Thunder Sound is Ruyun Sword Jin Yushi.

Gong Xujing knew that Shi Xuan was not the kind of person who would take things for granted, so after he nodded, he mentioned something else: "When I was watching the duel just now, I saw Ning Wuque. Fellow Daoist Shi, you should be careful. He is extremely crazy and may not necessarily take into account the tacit understanding between the major sects that high-level cultivators generally do not attack low-level cultivators. Otherwise, after the Golden Elixir Ceremony, Fellow Daoist Shi will set off with us to Tianyang City. With Master Lou here, Ning Wuque will not dare to make any moves." Lou Yizi had not said a word since she came in, sitting there like an ice sculpture. Even when Gong Xujing mentioned her, she did not express anything.

"I have some concerns, so I'll go alone, but since Fellow Daoist Gong mentioned it, I wonder if you can ask Senior Lou..." Shi Xuan used his spiritual sense to explain things to the two of them, and Lou Yizi got rid of the ice sculpture look, frowned slightly and nodded.

After the plan was completed, Gong Xujing solemnly talked about a secret: "I heard that Ning Wuque met Blood Demon Sect's top-ranked disciple Blood Demon in a cave in the Western Wilderness. The two had long wanted to kill each other, so in the Western Wilderness without the constraints of sect rules, after a battle, Ning Wuque swallowed Blood Demon, thus achieving a top-grade golden elixir." Blood Demon could use the name of the Blood Demon Sect as his name, so you can imagine his confidence in himself.

"So Ning Wuque may be crazy, but his strength is not fake." Shi Xuan said slowly after taking a sip of tea.

After chatting for a few more words, Gong Xujing suddenly mentioned: "Fellow Daoist Shi wanted to get the Ten Thousand Years Ice Soul Heart, but failed. I wonder if he still wants it now? I have some leftovers from my recent practice."

Shi Xuan said lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Gong. I have found one." In fact, Shi Xuan wanted to write a letter to Yan Qianying to annoy her, saying: I am not talented enough. I have not found a magic weapon to suppress the inner demon. I only found a secret treasure of reincarnation, so I dare not exchange it for the Ten Thousand Years Ice Soul Heart. But this would not only make me look stingy, but also spread the secret that I have the treasure of reincarnation, so I gave up.

Before Gong Xujing could answer, a faint light descended from the sky: "Luofu Sect Ying Juexiao wants to see Penglai Sect Shi Xuan Shi Daoist."

Shi Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he gave Gong Xujing a bitter smile. He thought he would come tomorrow, but he didn't expect that he would come here not long after the competition over there. How crazy are these guys from Luofu Sword Sect about swordsmanship?

Ying Juexiao at the valley entrance was a middle-aged monk in his forties. He looked simple and simple, wearing a brown linen short robe, a straw rope tied around his waist, and barefoot. He looked like a hermit, but Shi Xuan was puzzled as to why many monks dressed in strange clothes, while he preferred comfortable and ordinary Taoist robes.

Seeing Shi Xuan coming out, Ying Juexiao smiled: "I am Ying Juexiao, practicing the Piaomiao Song Jue and the Zhuxing Sword Jue I got by chance. I hope you can teach me, Daoyou Shi." He spoke simply, honestly, and directly.

Since Shi Xuan had already promised, he would not hesitate: "Then please lead the way, Daoyou Ying."
