Chapter 8: Sigh
8018 A.D. Diates Continent, Jianxu Plain, Qingxu Jianzong, Qingxu Palace
"Your master really didn't misread you, and I didn't misread you, at such a young age, with such a heart and thinking, in the future cultivation journey, you will take fewer detours than many young people, it's a pity..." The middle-aged woman calmly expounded her thoughts, but at this time, the young man behind her was a little flattered, her body shook slightly, and the jade on her waist: the blue seal glass jade, and the hanging thread on the jade were a little shaky, the young man's gesture did not change, his head sank a little, and he immediately replied: " Third Elder, the disciple is indeed dull and indescribable, I don't know how to reply to what you say, only endless shame. ”
"......" The middle-aged woman was silent for a moment, and then said: "You really let me not see too many flaws, don't say anything about this mural beforehand, don't say it, you come back from the sword washing pool, what's the situation?"
"Elder Hui, the sword washing pool is still guarded by four disciples of the third generation and eight disciples of the fourth generation of the sect day and night, the spiritual power of the group of swords is still there, the water flow is clear, and the three immortal swords suspended at the upper end are also intact, and they are constantly absorbing the spiritual power and sword breath provided by the group of swords. ”
"Well, very good, how do you feel about the absorption state of these three fairy swords at this time?"
"In my humble opinion, the spiritual power required for these three immortal swords is far more than that, and it is not possible to complete the infusion of spiritual power into the immortal sword in a moment and a half, and our disciples still need to continue to add spiritual swords to the sword pool to maintain the formation, and it will take a few months or so for the immortal sword to complete the spiritual infusion," Qing Yan replied humbly.
"What you say is not bad at all, Qingyan, it seems to me that you really don't tell any lies. ”
"Third Elder, for your rebuke, the disciple does not dare to say a lie, this is the basic respect for you. ”
"I called you here today, do you know why?" the middle-aged woman asked quietly.
"The disciple doesn't know," Qingyan said.
I saw that the elder in front of him turned around, he was wearing a purple robe, the pattern was carved beautifully and naturally, the long hair was coiled behind his head, and there was still a falling hair hanging down naturally, his eyes were clear, his skin was fair, calm and calm, and he was graceful and luxurious, at this time, there was a faint purple light in the heart of the three elders, and the sword surging around his body was continuous, turning into a very small air sword and attacking Qing Yan, although this air sword was a sword, but there was no murderous aura, Qing Yan did not dodge or dodge. When these qi swords approached Qing Yan's face, some surrounded Qing Yan's side, and some shot into Qing Yan's body, Qing Yan waited quietly, silently. After a while, all of these qi swords returned to the middle-aged woman who was called the three elders, and then all of them dissipated into nothingness, and the three long aging swords could smell an attractive aroma between the qi, which showed that they had a lot of experience in the use of sandalwood and other spices in their habits.
The Third Elder spoke: "It seems that the effect of that elixir is even more remarkable and peculiar in you. ”
"......" Qing Yan was speechless, and only listened to the third elder continue: " I carefully checked the cultivation of your body, if I remember correctly, after you took the Lian Ling Pill, you broke through the Wanhe Realm within that year, that is, the breakthrough you made half a year ago, and it would take at least five years for those who want to cultivate to go from the Chengyu Realm to the Wanhe Realm, so it only took you a little more than three years, and now it has only been half a year, and you are close to the Wanhe Middle Realm, this cultivation speed really makes me wonder if you have secretly learned the swordsmanship Dao method of a master sage again?"
Qing Yan panicked, and immediately said, "Disciple doesn't dare!"
"Hehe, I'm kidding. With such talent as you are now, how can your master think of the pitiful appearance he had when he took you in?"
"The disciple is not talented, but he has always been taken care of by the Sword Sect, and he will never dare to forget it in this life. Everything is done by the Master and the elders. ”
"It's not that I mean to take care of you, it's just that the perseverance you show is more and more valued by us, your master has found that you have an excellent heart, which is really rare on the path of cultivating immortals, and besides, so many years and so many things have also proved your loyalty and respect to the sect and your master. ”
Qing Yan didn't dare to hide and raise his head, and immediately replied, "This is a disciple's duty, it should be so, and he will never dare to talk about it." ”
"Get up and speak, Qingyan. ”
"Yes!" Qing Yan got up, his eyes calm as usual, but at the moment he also looked at the elder in front of him with some respect.
"Actually, today, it's mainly us, and I'm more concerned about whether you feel any discomfort after taking that medicine, and whether there is anything abnormal about your state in the past six months?"
"Elder Hui, after I took the monk's holy medicine, I only felt that my heart was beating faster, I had already reported these things to Master at that time, and in those days, I found that the speed of the spiritual arts and swords I usually practiced was faster, because my ability to absorb and export spiritual power was stronger, and the beating rate of my heart increased and the pain was painful, and after a few weeks, I began to feel nothing, and since then, I have been smooth all the way, and I have also broken through the Wanhe Realm by luck, and there is no discomfort during this time, and the disciple has been busy with the internal affairs of the sect with all his heart." Qing Yan continued to reply respectfully.
"Then everything is fine, I believe that after your master leaves the customs, he will be even happier to see you like this now!"
"We will definitely live up to the expectations of the master and the elders!"
"Do you know why your master is in retreat?"
"Elder Hui, is it because of the future of our sect?"
"Well, it can also be said that he has worked hard and worked hard, just hoping that our Qingxu Sword Sect can be ranked in the Righteous Path Sword Sect, and everyone has the heart of the Glory Sect, of course, the future direction of all this still needs the actions of you young people, we will not exist forever, now the sect is supported by us old guys, but one day, Qing Yan, you will also be involved in these sect secrets, and you will definitely understand the stakes" The third elder said calmly.
Hearing this, Qing Yan was a little uncomfortable, and immediately responded, "The elders will inevitably break through the Great Realm in the future and become well-known and powerful people in the world today, with a lifespan of hundreds of years, the disciples are unwise and incompetent, how can they compare to the elders! ”
"Haha, okay, okay! Qingyan, Qingyan, it's not good that you've been so humble, hahahaha" The third elder smiled.
"What the disciple says is only based on what he feels in his heart," Qing Yan immediately defended.
The purple-robed middle-aged woman glanced at Qing Yan with a smile, as if she had thought of something again, and immediately asked, "By the way, I remember the last conference, how many tricks did you beat that person?"
"The disciple is lucky. ”
"In the end, that person still wanted to attack you when he was about to lose, and you were able to resist them one by one, and your master decided at that time that at the end of this conference, he would give you a heavy reward, hehe. ”
Qing Yan didn't dare to slack off, and replied, "Master is loved, and the disciple is ashamed." ”
"Although you haven't won the top three, you are already a signboard of our Sword Sect, and we are also deeply pleased, and it is fast to say, there are more than two years to go, and it will be time for the conference again...... Why did I deliberately call you over, just to see what you are thinking now and how you have gained from cultivation, after I checked, I have been relieved, you still need to cultivate hard, this time when you come to the imperial capital, the strength of our Sword Sect can be even better than before" The three elders did not look at Qing Yan at this time, and turned back to look at the mural and said with emotion.
"The disciple will definitely do his best to fight for the life and death of the sect, and depend on each other for life and death" After saying this, Qing Yan bowed his hand again, and lowered his head.
"Hehe, it's a pity that your fourth elder and fifth elder, on the surface, in the name of being able to do it, play wantonly in private every day, and often after handing over the task to you, they don't care about the trivial matters of the sect, these two old naughty boys!" Speaking of this, the third elder shook his head and sighed.
"Third Elder, this is the great love of the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder for the disciple, the disciple deeply feels his virtue and will inevitably handle the affairs of the sect well. ”
"Hehe, sometimes, I wonder, are you a little stupid?"
"Disciple is. ”
"Hahahaha, not bad, not bad..."The third elder smiled, and then said: "Some junior brothers and sisters of the sect, in addition to assisting you, you can take a look at who has better talent and good conduct, you can recommend one or two, and seeing that the conference will be in two years, these people can accompany them together and have a long experience." ”
"Yes!"
"My personal disciple, Qin Wan, you can also guide one or two more when you have time, she needs to improve herself more now, to break through the level, I have already taught everything, hehe, I didn't expect to say such a thing, am I old?"
"The demeanor of the three elders is still there, and the demeanor has not diminished in the slightest, don't think so. ”
"Hahahaha, although you are stupid, you are also quite good at talking" The third elder smiled again when he said this.
"Qin Wan has excellent talent, and I will definitely take care of it more!"
"Then I'll rest assured," the third elder paused for a moment before saying, "Stand down." ”
"Yes!" After that, Qing Yan bowed down and slowly retreated, retreated a few dozen meters, and then turned around and left the Qingxu Palace, walked out of the palace, did not look back, and slowly walked down the stairs, the vision was a cloud of mist, and he could vaguely see those mountains and mountains, thinking that he was on the top of such a high giant peak, and was recognized by the sect, and handed over the heavy responsibility to himself, and then recalled his youthful time when he had repeatedly experienced frustrations, and now he didn't cherish it. There was also a little joy in his heart, Qing Yan smiled unconsciously, and also remembered today's elder's teachings, many of them sighed with emotion, and he knew more about the meaning of the sect's care, and the voice in his heart also echoed heavily in Qing Yan's mind, he wanted to do more things to repay the sect's education and cultivation.
After Qing Yan walked down the stairs, he thought that the three elders attached great importance to the sword pool, and wanted to go to the sword pool again to have a look, and arrange some work for the junior disciples to do, so as to speed up the spirit absorption speed of the fairy sword. When passing by the junior disciples guarding under the stairs, the junior disciples all said very consciously: "Hello senior brother!" Qing Yan responded one by one with a smile, Qing Yan felt as if he was grateful and excited during the walk, and his steps were much brisker, and he hurried towards the direction of Jianchi.
After completely leaving the palace, when approaching the path of the sword, Qing Yan sacrificed the spirit sword on his back and began to move forward.
Qingxu Palace
The sandalwood mist surrounds the four corners of the palace, and the white gas of the enchantment also stagnates and floats at the door of the main hall from time to time, and the whole environment is like the state of the fairy palace of the fairy mountain, and the peace in the hall is still the same, there is a woman in a purple robe still standing in front of the huge mural, motionless, stunned.
After a while, a voice came out of the purple-robed woman's mouth without hurrying, at this time, the main hall was empty, and the guards and disciples were also at the bottom of the stairs of the main hall, and her words were obviously talking to herself.
"Do you know? I still don't understand the murals left by Master. ”
"Lixu Sword Sect, that's what it looks like, why are you bothered?"
"Alas"
"Senior brother. ”
