In the barren mountains of the sword, there are green forests, cliffs, and a sea of clouds.

A young man in a lilac robe stood in front of the abyss, facing the sea of clouds, a few tassels on the waist of the robe fluttered gently in the breeze, and his long black hair like satin was tied up with a hairband, and the ends of the hair hung down at will, extending down from the back of his head, falling to the back of his shoulders, looking straight ahead with an indifferent expression, and not having any reaction from the person who came behind.

After a few days of follow-up observation, Yashetong Guò knew that his senior brother would come to the back mountain to cultivate every time he came. He looked at the figure standing in front of him, the young man's vigorous and energetic posture occupied all his mind, I don't know why, when he saw his senior brother for the first time, his heart seemed to be tightly held by someone but still couldn't suppress the violent beating, as if the spring flowers were blooming all around, and he was hooked by this man and couldn't break free.

When he learned from his master that he was about to go down the mountain to experience training, and he didn't know when he would return, there was only one thought in his mind, go with him, and die without separation.

Asher remembered the thought of himself at that time, his cheeks flushed, and he was ashamed, how could his thoughts be so unbearable, how could he have that kind of haunting thoughts about his senior brother for a lifetime.

He hesitated behind him for a long time before he slowly shouted "Senior Brother"

Qi Xiu did not respond.

"Senior brother, I" Ya She's words choked in his throat, but he was swallowed by himself, his dark green beautiful eyes flickered and looked at Qi Xiu, looking extremely cautious, and there was a longing in the young man's unique clear voice that could not be ignored, "Can I go down the mountain with Senior Brother to practice?" ”

"I can't."

As soon as the young man finished asking, Qi Xiu, who had not spoken, directly refused, and responded without pause, with a resolute attitude and a cold tone, like the saber on his waist, sharp and cold.

Such a crisp and neat refusal made the young man's eyes a little stunned, and then the stunned was immediately covered by resolute stubbornness, the corners of his thin mouth were pursed into a line, and he continued to make a request to Qi Xiu without giving up, and the previous anxiety was gradually eliminated by the strong expectations in his heart:

"Senior brother, please let me go down the mountain with you to practice."

"Can't"

The unwavering tone sounded again, and Qi Xiu repeated what he had said before, and there was no room for negotiation for the young man's earnest request.

"I won't cause trouble to my brother!"

"Oh?" When Qi Xiu heard the young man's words, he turned around, his eyes fell on the excited young man in front of him, and his handsome left eyebrow raised, "What will you do?" ”

But the tone became quieter and quieter, until at last it was silent. He found that what he said were useless abilities, he forgot, this is the Sword Qi Divine Sect, he has already stepped into the world of immortals, it is no longer his own small village, and being able to hunt and cook is a trivial ability for his senior brother, and he doesn't look down on it and doesn't need it.

Asher couldn't help but bow his head in loneliness, and looked at his rough and thick hands, the strength that had once made him proud was now like a glaring irony, these mortal powers, they were of no use at all. Suddenly, Yashe touched the spirit sword at his waist, a bright light burst out in his gray eyes, he held the hilt of the sword with his right palm, raised his head suddenly, his dark green eyes looked directly at Qi Xiu, and his pursed lips revealed a bit of stubbornness.

"I can protect my brother." Word by word, Asher looked at Qi Xiu firmly and said, "I will protect my senior brother with the sword in my hand." ”

His words aroused Qi Xiu's interest.

"Although I am only in the foundation building period now, and my swordsmanship is still a beginner, I will use my life to protect my senior brother, and please let me go down the mountain with you to practice."

The young man's deep face is tense, and the soft contour lines add a bit of toughness.

The calf-like hardness made Qi Xiu scan the inside and out of his halfway junior disciple in front of him for the first time, the thin and thin body, I am afraid that he can shatter all the bones in this flesh and blood body with a light palm, and the low-level cultivation will be devoured by the low-level demonic beast without a breath outside. Such a weak person is ashamed to say that he wants to protect him, it is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, which is extremely ridiculous.

"The sect stipulates that if you cultivate to practice qi, you can't leave the mountain gate without permission. Your cultivation is too low. ”

"I will cultivate to the Qi cultivation period! Please give me some time, Senior Brother, and I will elevate my cultivation to the Qi cultivation stage. ”

Qi Xiu didn't answer, retracted the gaze that fell on Asher, and quietly looked into the depths of the surging sea of clouds, the gaze that was watching him behind him became more and more hot.

After a long time, he slowly spoke: "A month, I will leave the sect in a month." ”

Leaving after a month shows that Qi Xiu agreed to Yashe's follow, but he only wanted to improve his cultivation to the Qi cultivation period within a month.

Ya She was pleasantly surprised, but there was also undisguised distress in his eyes, he is now in the early stage of foundation building, and he has not even reached the middle stage, ordinary disciples break through from the early stage of foundation building to the Qi training period is less than one or two years, and more than ten years, although Ya She's talent is good, but it is not easy to break through from the early stage of foundation building to the Qi training period in one month, and it is not easy to leap through the entire cultivation level. But he must accompany his senior brother down the mountain to practice, because he has a feeling that if he misses it this time, he and his senior brother will never have anything to do with each other again.

"I will, senior brother, I will definitely successfully enter the Qi training period in a month, and I have the qualifications to go down the mountain with you to practice."

Qi Xiu didn't feel much, a month was already a lot of time, he just wanted to see if this person who swore to protect him could meet his requirements, if so, it would be okay to stay by his side for the time being, if not, he would have nothing to lose, just listen to an ignorant joke that he couldn't do and pollute his ears.

During the month, every day, when the sky was slightly bright, there would be a figure on the sword training platform of the Sword Qi Divine Sect who would come to the stage early to cultivate. Asher understood that although his talent was not low, it was impossible to cross a level within a month without diligent cultivation.

Not only should the cultivation be improved, but also the swordsmanship should be made a breakthrough. Therefore, he came to the sword training platform early every day to practice his sword, hone his swordsmanship, and constantly improve his fighting ability in the competition with his senior brothers at the same level. He didn't want to become a burden to his senior brother after going down the mountain, and become a waste who only cultivated and had no fighting strength.

The sword is sheathed, then pulled out, then sheathed, drawn and retracted from the sword, and practiced repeatedly, Asher is grinding and holding the sword every day, and the swordsman can only truly exert the true power of the sword in his hand if he is more and more familiar with the sword. After repeating it hundreds of times, his speed became faster and faster, and he became more and more proficient, and he drew his sword again, and the tip of the sword in his right hand pointed obliquely at the ground, closed his eyes, felt the trajectory of the wind flowing through his ears, and suddenly let out a low shout, and a sword was raised, split, stabbed, and pointed; Teasing, collapsing, intercepting, wiping, piercing, picking, twisting, sweeping, each stroke was repeated in Asher's hands, and the wrist went from clumsy at first to more and more agile and chic.

The scene when he peeked at his senior brother practicing swords suddenly appeared in his mind, and the purple and elegant figure became more and more profound, walking with the sword, and unconsciously his body moved with the figure that was turning in his mind, and the sword in his hand slowly changed from the basic fencing, and there was a rudimentary form of swordsmanship.

"Bang"

Asher heard a soft popping sound in his body, and the aura floating around him couldn't help but be involved in his body like a surging tide, and the dantian in his body was instantly expanded tenfold, and in an instant, it was filled with vigorous aura. Traces of black filth are expelled from the body, giving off an unpleasant odor.

Finally, Asher broke through in an epiphany, the early stage of Qi training.

In the center disciple residence area of Jiuxuan Peak, Qi Xiu also waited for his first Gu King.
