Chapter Ninety-Six: The Shushan Sword Club (II)
"Shushan Sword Society?" Qin Yifan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he held the invitation that was not an ordinary object at first glance. He has heard of the name of Shushan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the leader of the instrument cultivation, but Qin Yifan and Shushan do not have any friendship, and there is no intersection in the lives of Pingyue, why would Shushan give Qin Yifan an invitation to participate in the Shushan Sword Meeting?
Besides, Qin Yifan didn't know anything about what the Shushan Sword would be, so he had to take that invitation card and go to the old tree demon to ask Lin Qiulu and Xu Feifei for advice.
"Shushan actually invited you to participate in the Shushan Sword Meeting?" Hearing Qin Yifan's words, the first thought that popped into Lin Qiulu's mind was not how glorious he felt, but a burst of surprise. Similarly, Xu Feifei also looked at Qin Yifan with wide eyes, as if he felt incredible.
Only Qin Xiaoling didn't feel that it was wrong at all, Qin Yifan didn't say that he participated in a sword meeting in Shushan, even if it was the Queen Mother's Yaochi Jade Banquet, it seemed to be a matter of course in Qin Xiaoling's eyes. Of course, Qin Xiaoling also didn't know what kind of gathering the Shushan Sword Club was, and how could it make Lin Qiulu and Xu Feifei so surprised.
"The Shushan Sword Club is held once every ten years, and it is a grand meeting hosted by Shushan for the new disciples of the sect when they are looking for swords in the sword mound. After all, Lin Qiulu was born in Ouchi, and she knew more about these situations than anyone else, and Xu Feifei also understood this, so she didn't interject, and took care of herself silently, stabilizing her mind that was a little out of shape just now.
"It is said to be a grand event, but there will not be many people in attendance, at most, it is the disciples of Shushan, as well as some contemporary elders and heads, and there are also a few spectators. Every time she said the word event, Lin Qiulu had a fascinated expression, as if she regretted that she couldn't participate in this kind of event.
"But what does this have to do with me?" Qin Yifan was puzzled, since they were all insiders, why did he invite himself under this name? Could it be because he was a little out of line with his recent affairs, so he wanted to mention it?
"It is a great honor to be invited to the ceremony by the spectators. In Lin Qiulu's speech and demeanor, he expressed his admiration for Shushan more than once: "The people who can become a generation of Shushan disciples are all famous figures in the cultivation world. ”
"In this way," Qin Yifan touched his bare chin, and said very teasingly, "I'm already a celebrity in the cultivation realm?" Although he said this, he didn't have the consciousness of being a celebrity at all, and he didn't feel good about himself at all.
"This kind of invited observers are very talkative. Xu Feifei finally calmed down his heartbeat and interjected slowly.
"Say?" Qin Yifan was a little surprised: "What other gifts do you have to contribute?" The appearance of a philistine made the three girls laugh when they looked at it, and the flowers and branches trembled with laughter.
"Every disciple has a corresponding observer, this is the tradition of Shushan. Lin Qiulu took over Xu Feifei's topic and explained: "In the future, this disciple will also regard this viewer as a half-master and will be filial for life." With the support of a genuine disciple of Shushan, he can also speak loudly in the cultivation realm. ”
"Hmm!" Qin Yifan was not as flattered as he imagined, but frowned and pondered: "Gao Ming." It seems that he has found a backer for others, but in fact, he has found countless reinforcements for Shushan. On the bright side, we must respect and respect this half-master, and when there is something wrong in Shushan, is this half-master still embarrassed to watch? Every viewer is a highly respected figure, and the same must be true within the sect. When the time comes, this clever old-timer will have to speak for Shushan, will the other junior disciples dare to have any objections?"
"Amazing!" Qin Yifan had already said a few things in a row: "In this way, Shushan just praised the fame of some people without expense, but secretly won so many benefits for himself, no wonder Shushan is the first major sect of instrument cultivation, and it really has his reason." ”
"I think everyone knows these truths, but no one will bring them up in person. Lin Qiulu continued Qin Yifan's analysis: "They are all characters who have become refined through experience, and everyone understands the twists and turns in this." It's just that this is a mutually beneficial thing for both parties, not only to enhance personal fame, but also to get Shushan's care at critical moments, and everyone does not suffer, so they all admit it. Moreover, the spectators are proud of it. ”
"Well, sure enough, the first major faction has a good way to operate, and a simple half-master gift will pull most of the famous and decent families among the allies. Even if others want to follow suit, they don't have the fame of Shushan. It is estimated that the Kunlun faction did not spend this kind of brain!" Qin Yifan was born in the army, so he naturally got used to comparing this with the art of war, and praised it very much.
"However, the owner, you accepted this invitation, will people go or not?" Lin Qiulu's eager gaze didn't seem to be asking Qin Yifan if he was going at all, but a little bit of a forced palace. Although the Heavenly Gate is also regarded as a vein of instrument cultivation, they absorb the breath of the Son of Heaven and run for the emperor, and the eagle dogs of the court are actually isolated by nothing, and everyone will neither suppress them, but they will not deliberately make friends. This kind of big scene that is famous in the cultivation world is not their turn.
Even Xu Feifei next to him, although he didn't speak, his eager eyes and the longing in his heart couldn't hide Qin Yifan's ears and eyes. This kind of bustle, how could Xu Feifei, who loves to travel, not want to go, but she is a person from Tianyin Sect and belongs to the person of Yi Xiu, even if Shushan will invite the masters of various sects, she will not invite them. With this opportunity in front of him to see and open his eyes, he couldn't wait to force Qin Yifan to nod immediately.
Although Qin Xiaoling didn't know how good this was, the two sisters were going, so she naturally wouldn't hold back. also nodded vigorously, indicating his determination to go. It's just that, looking left and right, there doesn't seem to be anything resolute about this determination.
"Since you're so interested, you might as well go over and have a look. Of course, Qin Yifan will not be uninteresting: "However, if people invite me alone, will it be inappropriate for everyone to go?"
"It's okay!" Lin Qiulu replied first: "Xu Feifei and I are your guards, Xiaoling is your sister, anyway, there are four of us, and Shushan is generally not too embarrassing." Those other spectators often bring a few juniors to this kind of occasion to experience. The implication is that everyone else is the same, they have to bring people over to see the excitement and open their eyes.
"Then no problem, this kind of scene, of course, you have to see it. Qin Yifan will not sweep everyone's interest: "Then prepare for it, the sword meeting will start in a month, and we will come out then." ”
After listening carefully to Lin Qiulu's introduction of the details of the famous Shushan Sword Meeting several times, everyone happily prepared. Although she could catch up with it half a month in advance, the third girl still prepared everything early.
When the three girls were in a hurry, Qin Yifan was pondering, what did Shushan mean by this? How could he allow himself to participate in this kind of sword meeting and win himself over? It seems that Qin Yifan himself does not think that this is possible. Although Qin Yifan is now strong enough, and as the Lord of Purgatory, he also has a lot of blood of cultivators under him, but he is not strong enough to attract the attention of Shu Mountain!
Or does what he has done recently have considerable potential, and Shushan can be regarded as investing in the future, making friends in advance, so as not to turn his face in the future? If this is the case, it seems that the surname may not be very big, and many of those casual cultivation strengths are stronger than themselves, but they have never heard Shushan invite these people to watch the ceremony.
Could it be those disciples of the Outer Mountain Sect who followed him? This is very likely, although the number of people is not large now, but soon when those people have some achievements, more people will join this ranks. To be honest, these people who were once abandoned outside the cultivation gate probably didn't have a good impression of those disciples of the Inner Mountain Gate, but for themselves, the people who let them get what they wanted, they would definitely regard them as teachers.
This group of people, almost every sect, whether it is instrument cultivation or intention cultivation, all have such a group, and when they are gathered, they are also a force to be reckoned with. Maybe it is precisely because of this that Shushan sees the future of this power, so he will deliberately make friends.
If this is really the case, from this point alone, the other sects obviously do not have the vision of Shushan. Qin Yifan is only a slightly successful possible surname at the moment, Shushan has already seen the future in the next few decades or even hundreds of years, no wonder people are Shushan, it is the number one faction of instrument cultivation, even if he sits with the person who intends to cultivate, no one dares to slack off, there is still a reason for him.
"Don't you need to prepare gifts for the ceremony?" This is Qin Yifan's question again. To be honest, although Lin Qiulu has a detailed description of these in the sect, no one has recorded whether those who observe the ceremony should give gifts.
On the contrary, Xu Feifei thought for a while, and shook his head affirmatively: "No, and when the time comes to choose a sword in the sword shrine, in addition to the one chosen by the disciples of Shushan themselves, the people who watch the ceremony must also choose one or two, even if it is a thank you gift from Shushan to thank the people who watched the ceremony." This is the rule of the people. If necessary, you can exchange some after the sword meeting and in the assembly hosted by Shushan, which is also a point that everyone pays attention to after each sword meeting. ”
This Qin Yifan understands that the last time he was at the meeting of the Yinshan faction, he saw a lot of cultivators participating, presumably the assembly hosted by Shushan, naturally everyone broke their heads and wanted to go in.
Since people have their own rules, Qin Yifan has no idea of breaking the rules, and after admonishing those disciples of the Outer Mountain Sect, he finally took the three daughters on the way to Shushan.
