A private room in a restaurant with a view of the sea.

Knock knock!

Zhong Haitao was looking at the sea outside the window when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Come in!" he replied faintly, still looking at the sea.

Squeak –

The door of the private room was pushed open, and Lu Ping'an walked in with Ji Kang, greeting with a smile: "Elder Zhong is really interested!"

Zhong Haitao turned around and said, "You may not know that the sea is the sword path of our Nanyue Sword Sect. ”

Lu Ping'an smiled indifferently and said, "In this way, it is Lu who is not interested and disturbs Elder Zhong's sword comprehension!"

"It's just a joke, it's okay!" Zhong Haitao waved his hand, "It's the head of the Lu sect, just a few days after the establishment of the Tianyuan Sword Sect, you, the head of the sect, left the sect, aren't you afraid of the sect getting into trouble?"

"Sooner or later, it will come, instead of waiting to die, it is better to find a way to improve your strength!" Lu Ping'an said.

Zhong Haitao nodded: "This is quite reasonable, I don't know if Master Lu has found a way to improve his strength?"

Lu Ping'an turned his head to look at the sea and replied, "It must be overseas!"

Zhong Haitao is well-informed, when he saw Lu Ping'an use Sword Nine, he knew that the sword intent of that move was taken from Suzaku.

Now Lu Ping'an said that the way to become stronger is overseas, and that is undoubtedly preparing to go to sea to hunt Suzaku.

He frowned and said: "Master Lu, with all due respect, the sea is full of dangers, even if it is a free realm, you don't dare to step into it at will, it's better not for you to go!"

Lu Ping'an had already inquired carefully about this.

But as Zhong Haitao said, there are ancient demon beasts everywhere on the sea, which are extremely powerful.

Fishermen can only go out to sea for ten miles at most. Ordinary cultivators can only go to sea for a hundred miles, while Holy Spirit Realm cultivators can only go to sea for a maximum of three hundred miles.

These figures were handed down from the Nanyue Sword Sect, because the Nanyue Sword Sect had to take their disciples to the sea every year to practice, which was the truth they summed up with countless lives.

Lu Ping'an shook his head bitterly and said, "Elder Zhong should know that Lu has no choice!"

"In this way, Master Lu came to Zhong this time just to go to sea?" Zhong Haitao asked with a frown.

Lu Ping'an nodded: "It's also one of them!"

"Anything else?" said Zhong Haitao with a smile.

Lu Ping'an pointed at Ji Kang and said, "This is my troublesome apprentice, I want you Nanyue Sword Sect to help take care of it for a few days!"

Zhong Haitao turned his head and glanced at Ji Kang: "I've heard that your apprentice is not small!"

"Just treat him as an ordinary disciple!" Lu Ping'an said.

Zhong Haitao nodded, and he agreed.

Lu Ping'an continued: "By the way, I heard Elder Yu say that a disciple of your sect was injured, I don't know how the injury is?"

Zhong Haitao was slightly stunned, and quickly remembered.

Lu Ping'an's so-called "disciple" refers to the one at the apex of the Nanyue Sword Sect!

So he smiled awkwardly and replied, "Thank you for your concern, after a few days of recuperation, he has now fully recovered!"

Lu Ping'an nodded: "That's good, in case the Phantom Sound Workshop attacks, he can also help defend against the enemy!"

As soon as Zhong Haitao heard this, he knew that Lu Ping'an had guessed the identity of the "disciple", and said: "Master Lu is extremely right, now is the time for my Nanyue Sword Sect to employ people, even if he is just an ordinary disciple, he can give full play to his value!"

"Elder Zhong is right!" Lu Ping'an saw through it and continued, "Elder Zhong rest assured, the matter of the Phantom Sound Workshop started because of my Tianyuan Sword Sect, if they really can't get along with your Nanyue Sword Sect, my Tianyuan Sword Sect will definitely not sit idly by!"

Zhong Haitao arched his hand and said, "Then thank you!"

Lu Ping'an shook his head: "It should be me who thanks you Nanyue Sword Sect!"

Zhong Haitao didn't say much, took out a map, and handed it to Lu Ping'an: "This is a sea map that my Nanyue Sword Sect has explored for hundreds of years, although it has drawn the situation within three hundred miles of the coast, but I think it should be useful to Lu Zhangmen." ”

Lu Ping'an carefully took the chart and looked at it carefully, the chart was indeed drawn in great detail.

Not only islands, but also what monsters often appear in what sea areas are clearly written.

He smiled and asked, "Why do you Nanyue Sword Sect draw such a detailed sea chart, I'm afraid it's not just for the sake of cultivating for your disciples, right?"

Zhong Haitao said: "This is the secret of our Nanyue Sword Sect, but since it is the head of Lu who wants to know, it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Lu Ping'an really wanted to hear it, of course, not only because he was curious, but also because he wanted to know more about the situation at sea, and if there was any strong enemy, he could also prepare early.

So he smiled and said, "Listen up!"

Zhong Haitao said: "To tell you the truth, the founder of my Nanyue Sword Sect escaped from a certain immortal mountain beyond this sea. His lifelong wish was to return to that immortal island and see his master and sister, but it was a pity that it was easy to come out and difficult to go back......"

"In this way, there really is an immortal mountain overseas?" Lu Ping'an said in surprise.

The matter of the Immortal Island in the Tian Yuan Continent has been widely circulated.

Many people are rumoring that there are immortals living on the fairy island, and there is an elixir of immortality, as long as one goes down, you can live forever.

A hundred years ago, many monks flocked to the sea in search of overseas immortal mountains.

It's a pity that those who are just rumors, and the monks who went to find the fairy mountain have died on the sea.

With the passage of time, the popularity of looking for the fairy mountain has slowly decreased, and this legend has naturally become a joke!

Zhong Haitao nodded affirmatively: "Yes!"

Lu Ping'an asked curiously, "Why did the ancestor of your Nanyue Sword Sect leave the Immortal Mountain, and since you can come out of the Immortal Mountain, why can't you go back?"

"At that time, Xianshan was only a hundred miles away from the coast, and the ancestor was only fifteen years old. When he wanted to return to Xianshan, he couldn't find any trace of Xianshan at all. Moreover, with his strength, he couldn't swim on the sea at will, so he could only stay in the Tianyuan Continent temporarily, and became the Nanyue Sword Sect here, waiting for Xianshan to come back to pick him up!" Zhong Haitao did not hide it at all, and told Lu Ping'an all the secrets of the Nanyue Sword Sect.

Lu Ping'an was suspicious, it was not that he didn't trust Zhong Haitao, but Zhong Haitao's words were too legendary.

After Zhong Haitao finished speaking, he said again: "Master Lu, this is the big secret of my Nanyue Sword Sect, don't keep it for us!"

"This is nature!" Lu Ping'an arched.

In fact, what Zhong Haitao said, even if he said it, would have no impact on the Nanyue Sword Sect.

It's just that it's not a good thing for the people in the world.

People are afraid of death. If the world knew that there was really an immortal mountain overseas, they would definitely risk their lives to go there, and by that time, thousands of people would have died.

Of course, it is not excluded that the ancestor of the Nanyue Sword Sect is afraid that the world will disturb the immortal master, so he does not dare to let the world know about it.

But these are irrelevant, no matter what, since Lu Ping'an promised to keep Zhong Haitao's secret, he naturally won't reveal it.

He looked at Ji Kang and said, "Today's matter is very important, you must not leak it out, even your father is not allowed to say it, do you know?"

Ji Kang arched his hand and said: "Master, don't worry, I know the weight of this matter, and I will never reveal half a word!"

"That's good!" Lu Ping'an nodded.

After getting along in the past few days, Lu Ping'an also has a deeper understanding of Ji Kang.

Ji Kang is a smart person, if this matter leaks out, the royal family of Beiji Kingdom will definitely try their best to go to sea to find Xianshan, and then Beiji Kingdom may be destroyed by the Dongyu Kingdom at any time.

Therefore, he will never say anything about it.

Ji Kang hesitated for a while before he said worriedly: "Master, the sea is very dangerous, why don't I go with you?"

Lu Ping'an shook his head: "No, with your current strength, even if you go, you won't be able to help much, maybe you will have to be distracted to take care of you as a teacher at that time!"

When Ji Kang heard this, he began to secretly hate his lack of strength.

Lu Ping'an saw his thoughts and said, "I have been cultivating for a few days, if you haven't comprehended Sword One before I come back, then I won't blame the teacher for punishing you!"

"Yes!" Ji Kang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and nodded in response.

Since Lu Ping'an agreed to accept him as an apprentice, he has been very attentive to his cultivation, and in just a few days, he has taught him Jianyi.

Ji Kang has a somewhat lazy personality and was originally not so persistent in cultivation.

The reason why he embarked on the path of cultivation was because he heard those legends of Lu Ping'an.

Now that there is a swordsmanship taught by Lu Ping'an himself, of course he will not slack off, so the cultivation progress is quite satisfactory to Lu Ping'an.

Lu Ping'an saw that Ji Kang had already agreed, so he said to Zhong Haitao: "Elder Zhong, I will leave the people to you, if the Phantom Sound Workshop really comes to attack the Nanyue Sword Sect, please Elder Zhong must inform me and the Tianyuan Sword Sect." ”

Zhong Haitao nodded and asked, "Master Lu is in such a hurry to go to sea?"

Lu Ping'an smiled bitterly: "Elder Zhong doesn't know that the Phantom Sound Workshop may be against the Nanyue Sword Sect and the Tianyuan Sword Sect at any time, and the sooner you go out, you can return the sooner!"

"That's right, take care of Master Lu!" Zhong Haitao arched his hand.

"Take care!"

After Lu Ping'an said that, he turned around and walked out of the private room and headed towards the beach.

Seeing this, the hooligan leader and a young man wearing the costume of the Nanyue Sword Sect hurriedly followed, and followed Lu Ping'an all the way to the dock.

Lu Ping'an was about to charter a boat to go to sea, when he was stopped by those hooligans.

The hooligan leader pointed to Lu Ping'an and said to the Nanyue Sword Sect disciple beside him: "Senior Brother Zhou, this kid dares to insult my Nanyue Sword Sect, and he doesn't take Senior Brother Zhou in his eyes at all!"

Zhou Yongyi looked at Lu Ping'an and asked coldly, "What kind of grudge do you have against your Excellency and my Nanyue Sword Sect?"

Lu Ping'an smiled: "Do you also believe the words of a few hooligans?"

Zhou Yongyi took out the long sword: "Please follow me to the Nanyue Sword Sect, as for whether this matter is true or not, my Nanyue Sword Sect will find out!"
