Late at night on August 17, 2017

Li Fengyun's 50th birthday banquet finally came to an end in a slightly embarrassing atmosphere. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, except for Li Tianya's last performance art performance, this birthday banquet was very successful on the whole, whether it was the exquisite dishes, or Shen Qingming's sincere confession, or Li Tianya's earnest teachings to his children and grandchildren at the end, they all left a deep impression on people. When the guests dispersed with the wine, they gave high praise to the birthday banquet, and then went home to rest.

However, for the organizers, there is still a lot of finishing work after the banquet, so that after the hustle and bustle, there is still no leisure.

"So, what is the primordial sword spirit going to do?"

In the bedroom, Li Fengyun asked his wife for help very sincerely.

Lu Xin rubbed his temples tiredly, only to feel sleepiness surging up like a tide.

The last time I went to bed, probably back to August 11, during which she put in the effort, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as singing and crying...... So, when the banquet was over, the exhaustion accumulated over the days made her want to fall headlong in bed and sleep until the spring of '18!

But on the other hand, the question of the primordial sword essence raised by Li Fengyun was indeed a headache and could not be ignored.

Before the end of the dinner, Li Tianya asked Li Fengyun to prepare a primordial sword essence for Shen Qingming to solve the problem that the girl's unique physique was incompatible with the Nine Dragons Sword Heart.

The so-called primordial sword essence is a kind of treasure from the flood era, and it is said that it is a treasure refined by the great immortals of the flood era by condensing the essence of heaven and earth and the laws of the Great Dao. The shape is a crystal clear ball, the size of a fist, which condenses the essence of the vast sea of swordsmanship, mysterious and spiritual.

The greatest wonder of this object is that it can improve the innate qualifications of the monks. After refining the primordial sword with his divine sense, the monk was able to absorb all the essence of the sword path in it, and obtained a reborn change like a simple tendon washing the marrow, and the body and mind were closer to the origin of the sword. From now on, no matter what swordsmanship you practice, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

And for those great cultivators whose cultivation level is already very high, the primordial sword essence can often help them break through the existing bottleneck and go one step further. It is rumored that among the three academies, the dean of the Qinglian Academy refined a primordial sword essence a hundred years ago and comprehended the Qinglian sword technique, and since then he has even overwhelmed the Wuxiang Sword Academy in the field of swordsmanship. Therefore, the primordial sword essence is invaluable, and it is a top-level treasure that is famous in the entire Xiangzhou continent.

In the 2015 edition of Qingyun Naturalist published by the well-known writer and scholar Li Tianya, the original sword essence was rated as a third-class treasure.

Such a treasure can indeed help Shen Qingming alleviate the problem of incompatibility between the physical body and the sword heart, but the problem is that with the preciousness and rarity of the original sword essence, even the seven great families are extremely difficult to start, and the Li family has only had a few hundred sword essences in the past few thousand years, and it takes an average of more than ten years to get one.

Of course, if you go all out to collect it, you can always get it with the strength of the Li family. Even if you don't have inventory in your own family, you can go to other families to barter, or simply visit the Holy Sect and the Third Academy, there is always a way to get started, and it is nothing more than the price.

The problem is that it takes time.

However, Li Fengyun didn't have much time now, and in three days at the latest, he would hand over the primordial sword essence to Shen Qingming.

Things need to go back a few hours ago, at the end of the birthday party......

――

"Ha, Qingyun Li Tianya, it's been a long time!"

At the dinner, Li Tianya greeted Wang Jiu enthusiastically.

"Oh, I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to be handsome again."

Wang Jiu smiled: "Thank you, you are the same." ”

Li Tianya laughed: "Of course, we are all Li Tianya!" ”

There was a dead silence in the banquet hall, and people looked at the incredible performance art of the previous head of the family in amazement, and felt their brains confused...... A few people from the split family began to worry about whether they would be killed by the main family.

After Li Tianya finished greeting Wang Jiu, his eyes swept around in confusion: "Speaking of which, what are you doing here?" What am I doing here? ”

Wang Jiu explained: "This is your son Li Fengyun's fiftieth birthday banquet, and you are here to conduct divination proverbs for the juniors attending the banquet. ”

Li Tianya nodded again and again: "Divination proverbs? Oh, touch the laws of time and space with the sword intent of the end of the world, and tailor proverbs for the younger monks? Not bad, it sounds like something Li Tianya would do. ”

After speaking, Li Tianya looked at the table of the juniors with great interest and asked, "What did I say just now?" ”

"You said that you wanted Li Fengyun to prepare a primordial sword essence for Shen Qingming......"

"That's right, that's right, Primordial Sword Spirit." Li Tianya said, "For people who are not talented in kendo, it is a treasure that can change their lives against the sky. It is also an opportunity for a breakthrough for the great monk who is in a deep bottleneck. However, if it is used to improve the qualifications of the muscles, it is necessary to refine the child as soon as possible after breaking through the wind barrier, and the sooner the qualifications are improved, the better. ”

At this time, although Li Tianya was ignorant, after all, the vision and knowledge of being a top monk were still there, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Judging from the qualifications of this girl, it is best to refine the sword essence for her now." Without further ado, Fengyun, take the sword essence to improve her qualifications within three days. ”

Li Fengyun was stunned when he heard this, and Lu Xin next to him was taken aback when he heard this.

"Dad, in three days? The primordial sword essence is very rare, and there is no inventory at home, so three days is probably too late......"

As a result, before he finished speaking, Li Tianya frowned: "Too late?" What is this called? One of the seven great families of the Li family, he can't even take out a primordial sword essence, this is a joke! You won't be reluctant, will you? ”

This accusation is too heavy, Lu Xin blushed: "Dang, of course not." Just ......"

"Since you are willing, don't hesitate to waste time, three days is enough, as a family, you must learn to use your brains to think of a way. Now, in the name of the former head of the family, I want you to take out the primordial sword essence within three days, do you hear!? ”

――

According to the rules of the Li family's compound, the name of the former head of the family actually has no practical significance.

When passing on the position of the head of the family to his descendants, Li Tianya no longer enjoys any privileges of the head of the family, and when there is a conflict between the current head of the family, even if he is of a higher generation, he must unconditionally respect the decision of the current head of the family.

Therefore, when Li Tianya wanted to repay Wang Jiu's kindness with millions of spirit stones, he would embarrassingly say that as the former head of the family, he no longer had the right to call on the family's resources.

However, Li Tianya's words were said in the birthday banquet hall of Fengyun Building, in front of everyone's eyes, considering his identity and status, even if he said foolish words, the weight was not light. What's more, Li Fengyun and his wife have just solved the misunderstanding with their daughter Shen Qingming, and it is a sensitive period. If you really ignore the old man's words, it will inevitably be said that she doesn't care about Shen Qingming.

So now Lu Xin heard her husband mention the topic of primordial sword essence, although she was extremely tired, she still cheered up and thought seriously.

After a while, the woman muttered, "As long as the Primordial Sword Essence is capable of producing it at present, then the Phaseless Sword Academy may have one or two pieces in stock...... Speaking of which, I heard that the Wuxiang Sword Academy's investment in Golden Jade City failed some time ago, and the deficit was very serious, so I thought I might as well write a letter to propose the acquisition of spirit stones. If it goes well, the deal will be completed in about a month or two. ”

Li Fengyun said: "But my father said that it would be within three days." ”

Lu Xin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Dad, you can't take your words too seriously, how can such a whimsical request be realized?" We just need to do our best, and in the end, we can actually get the primordial sword essence. After all, everyone knows that it is impossible to take out the primordial sword essence within three days. Even if we frantically hit the Wuxiang Sword Courtyard with a sword and blatantly rob it, three days is not enough time to run such a round trip...... Unless it's to find a nearby barren mountain to jump off a cliff to find adventures. Okay, don't think about it, let's rest first when it's late, I'll write tomorrow morning......"

Speaking of which, Lu Xin really couldn't hold it anymore, so he lay down first, and soon fell asleep.

Li Fengyun was still in good spirits, frowning, and muttered to himself: "Jumping off the cliff to find adventures......

After a while, Li Fengyun still couldn't sleep, and he couldn't worry about the matter of the primordial sword essence.

He saw in his wife's tiredness in the past few days, and he couldn't bear to disturb the rest, so he got up quietly, came to the desk, and seriously wrote to a reliable senior for help.

"Senior Sword Spirit, at today's dinner, my father asked me to prepare the primordial sword essence for Qingming within three days, this thing is extremely rare, and it is difficult to get started. I don't know what the seniors think about this? ”

After a while, Li Fengyun received a reply from Wang Jiu.

"The primordial sword essence is the essence intercepted by the sword cultivators above the Heavenly Collapse Realm in the Kyushu Era, after materializing the Great Dao Law by means of stealing the sky. Not only does it have the effect of improving my qualifications and breaking through bottlenecks in sword cultivation, but it also helps me rebuild the sword world. It is normal for such a treasure to be extremely rare, and there is no need to make a fuss. By the way, if you have the opportunity to get one, remember to bring one for me. ”

Li Fengyun took the letter and was silent for a long time.

――

The next morning, when Lu Xin opened his eyes, he only saw the sun outside the window, and it was already noon.

The woman was shocked in her heart, it was so late?! As the head of the compound, she has always been known for her strict and standardized work and rest time, and she can't imagine that she will oversleep like this!

Then, Lu Xin complained about her husband in her heart, unlike herself, the master at the peak of the mountain realm is really energetic and tireless, daily sleep is just to meet the situation, and getting up on time is a breeze...... Why didn't he wake himself up on time!?

While hurriedly bathing and changing clothes with immortal magic on the bed, while struggling to resist fatigue and stand up, Lu Xin didn't have time to put on all the jewelry, but she saw a note left by Li Fengyun on the desk next to the bed.

"Xin'er, last night after you reminded me, I went to the nearby barren mountains and mountains to jump off the cliff to find a strange encounter, don't read it."
