Chapter 65: Tempering
"Hahaha!" Lin Xuan was amused by Shangguan Tianfang's witty words, and felt very relaxed and happy, almost completely forgetting the fatigue caused by this journey.
He saw that Shangguan Tianguan, as a girl, could take the initiative to joke with himself so generously, so he put aside his scruples and joked with Shangguan Tianfang. As they walked, the two talked happily and chatted very speculatively, full of laughter and laughter along the way.
However, Shangguan Tianfang had never walked such a rugged mountain road after all, and she was a weak woman with limited physical strength, so it was still a little difficult and slow to walk. Although she insisted on not wanting Lin Xu's back, Lin Xu still reached out to help her and took her little hand to move forward together.
At this time, Shangguan Tianfang finally did not refuse Lin Xu, and let Lin Xuan hold her slender hand tightly in her hand, and her heart couldn't help but ripple quietly, and her heart was secretly moved.
The two walked on the road holding hands, looking very much like a pair of lovers. Fortunately, there were only the two of them on the road at this time, and there was no one else, so that Lin Xuan and Shangguan Tianfang were not shy and embarrassed.
After Lin Xu and Shangguan Tianfang came to the valley where Bai Qing lived in seclusion, they saw that Bai Qing had already opened the door of the house and sat on the stone platform in the center of the house waiting for them, as if he had known that they would come.
Lin Xuan was accustomed to Bai Qing's unpredictable prophetic skills, and he no longer felt strange. Only Shangguan Tianfang was secretly surprised in his heart, and he almost couldn't help but ask Lin Xuan for clarification. But she thought that she had just arrived, and the first time she met an elder like Bai Qing, she looked like she was making a fuss, and it was too rude, so she forcibly held back the words that had reached her throat and didn't say them. She planned to ask Lin Xu again in the future, and by the way, she would ask more about Bai Qing.
When Lin Xu saw Bai Qing, he bowed his head and bowed to his master. After Bai Qing asked him to get up, he officially introduced Shangguan Tianfang to Bai Qing.
Bai Qing's personality has a man-like bold side, and he doesn't like to beat around the bush, so Lin Xuan directly told Shangguan Tianfang that he wanted to worship her as a teacher and ask her to teach her to practice swordsmanship.
Lin Xuan was worried that Bai Qing would not agree, so he was anxious to help Shangguan Tianfang say good things, and told Bai Qing in detail about Shangguan Tianfang's good character of being kind and hardworking. Even if it sounded a bit like a deliberate exaggeration, it was said extremely sincerely by Lin Xu.
Besides, Shangguan Tianfang was originally such a good girl, what Lin Xuan said was completely true, and he didn't mean to deceive Bai Qing at all. He will also be able to have a clear conscience and be very calm.
Bai Qing's gaze is keen and far-reaching. Ever since Shangguan Tianfang walked into her hut, she had been secretly observing this girl with a good face and generous manners.
I have to say that Shangguan Tianfang is really a good girl who is loved by everyone, even a master like Bai Qing, who lives in seclusion. Although it was the first time she and Shangguan Tianfang had met, she could fully see that Shangguan Tianfang was indeed as Lin Xu said, an ambitious and motivated young girl, and a material that could be made.
Therefore, after Lin Xu's formal introduction was completed, and he also spoke very well for Shangguan Tianfang, he smiled and said: "Xu'er, you don't need to say much, as a teacher, you can already see that this girl is indeed a good seedling of cultivation." ”
"Master, so you agreed?" Lin Xu's face was full of surprise, and he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart at all.
"Well, talents are rare, and teachers are willing to take a good apprentice. Bai Qing replied to Lin Xudao clearly.
"Great, Miss Shangguan, you can kowtow to the master. Lin Xuan reminded Shangguan Tianfang.
When Shangguan Tianfang heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of Bai Qing, kowtowed three times in a row, and shouted earnestly: "Disciple to meet the master." ”
"Okay, get up. From now on, you and I will be master and apprentice. Bai Qing nodded again and again, and said to Shangguan Tianfang with a smile.
"Master Xie!" Shangguan Tianfang stood up happily, his face filled with a happy smile that he had gotten what he wanted.
According to the general apprenticeship ceremony on the Heavenly Sword Continent, it was originally necessary to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac to hold the apprenticeship ceremony, but Bai Qing was a reclusive master of the world, and he had already abandoned the usual red tape, and only needed to bow down. When she took Lin Xuan as an apprentice, it was the same, concise and happy.
"Xu'er, Fang'er, from now on, you will be commensurate with brothers and sisters, respect each other, and don't make noise. Bai Qing solemnly put forward his request to Lin Xuan and Shangguan Tianfang.
"Yes, Master, the disciple remembers the Master's teachings. Lin Xuan and Shangguan Tianguan agreed to Bai Qing in unison, and they were surprisingly consistent.
This made Bai Qingdu deeply pleased, and a happy smile appeared on his originally serious face.
Lin Xu's cultivation has reached the sword spirit realm, Bai Qing only needs to guide him on how to break through to a higher realm and give him the corresponding methods, so that he can cultivate on his own. And Shangguan Tianfang almost had to start from scratch, and Bai Qing had to put more effort into it.
This time, in order to allow Lin Xuan to make progress and breakthroughs in his cultivation faster, Bai Qing decided to let him go to the Warcraft Forest to conduct hard training. The effect of cultivating like that will be doubled with half the effort.
"Xu'er, your next target is the Sword Soul, and to cultivate this realm, you need to take the Soul Gathering Pill, and the Soul Gathering Pill requires the medicinal material of the Soul Conjuring Flower to be refined. Therefore, what you have to do now is not only to cultivate according to the exercises of the Blue Ice Heavenly Sword Duel, but also to find the Soul Conjuring Flower as soon as possible to refine the Soul Gathering Pill. This way you can get the upgrade in the shortest possible time. Bai Qing told Lin Xudao in detail.
"Oh, my disciple understands. Lin Xuan nodded, and then asked, "Master, is there a soul conjuring flower on Qingxian Peak?"
If there is a soul summoning flower on Qingxian Peak, then Lin Xuan can go directly to Qingxian Peak to find it. This place is the closest to Qingxian Peak, and if you have any problems at that time, it is convenient to come back and ask Bai Qing for advice.
But the reality made Lin Xuan a little disappointed. I only heard Bai Qing answer him clearly: "There is no such medicinal material on Qingxian Peak, you must go to the Demon Beast Forest to find it." It's dangerous, but it's the best place to cultivate. You have to go to the forest to go through the trials of life and death in order to be promoted faster and better. ”
"Yes, master!" Lin Xuan replied firmly and loudly.
He knew that Bai Qing's hard work would not disappoint Bai Qing, so it would not hurt to break into the Demon Beast Forest again.
The Soul Flower is a more advanced medicinal material than the Body Refining Grass, and there will definitely be a more advanced demonic beast appearing, and it will inevitably be a life-and-death battle at that time. This process is the best tempering for Lin Xu.
Shangguan Tianfang's situation was very different from Lin Xu's. Bai Qing sent Lin Xuan to the Demonic Beast Forest, but left Shangguan Tianfang by his side, preparing to let Shangguan Tianfang embark on the path of cultivation as soon as possible.
After Lin Xu said goodbye to Bai Qing and Shangguan Tianfang, he set off for the Warcraft Forest with the little orangutan. Shangguan Tianfang sent Lin Xuan far away before he reluctantly said goodbye, returned to Bai Qing's residence, and began to seriously follow Bai Qing to cultivate the Blue Ice Heavenly Sword Duel.
After entering the Demonic Beast Forest, Lin Xuan smiled and asked the little orangutan: "There are many Demonic Beasts here, with different levels, but they are all very ferocious, are you afraid?"
The little orangutan responded to Lin Xu with a hum, and kept shaking his head, obviously telling Lin Xuan that he was not afraid at all.
"Hey, good job, little orangutan, you're the bravest. Lin Xu encouraged the little gorilla.
Lin Xu is giving a hint to the little orangutan in advance. Because it had to face the scene of Lin Xu's fight with the demonic beast as soon as possible, if it jumped around because it was afraid, it would not only affect Lin Xu's skills, but also not help Lin Xuan protect it.
Now seeing that the little orangutan has no fear on his face, looking ordinary and calm, Lin Xuan is also relieved.
The little orangutan has a keen sense of smell and knows which direction the conjuring flower is in in the Warcraft Forest. It took the forest void deeper and deeper, and it had reached the depths of the Warcraft Forest. This means that the danger faced by Lin Xuan is also constantly increasing.
"Whoa—"
A series of wolf howls suddenly rang out. Lin Xu heard not a single sound, but several times in succession, and thought that this time it was not a demon wolf, but a group of demon wolves. In this way, the difficulty he had to deal with instantly increased by several levels.
In the past, when he went into the Warcraft Forest alone, he usually fought alone with all kinds of Warcraft, and he had never fought with groups of Warcraft. I really didn't expect to encounter such a dangerous situation just after returning to the Warcraft Forest this time.
Fortunately, Lin Xu's current cultivation has also improved a lot compared to before. When he was still a sword body cultivator, he could easily kill demonic beasts below four stars. Now that he was a Sword Spirit Cultivator, he wouldn't be afraid even if the demonic beasts appeared in groups.
As soon as the little orangutan heard the howl of the demon wolf, it quickly climbed to a tall tree, about three feet above the ground, and it was absolutely impossible for the demon wolf to hurt it. Although it couldn't help Lin Xuan deal with the demon wolf, it protected itself and didn't let Lin Xuan get distracted, which was the greatest help to Lin Xu.
Lin Xuan had just pulled out his sword when he saw that the three demon wolves had already come to him. When the demon wolf saw the sword in Lin Xu's hand, he was also a little afraid, and he stood a few feet away from Lin Xuan for the time being, howling, and was not in a hurry to attack Lin Xu.
"Hehe, you're cunning enough. Don't you want to eat people? Then you can come if you have the ability. Lin Xuan sneered and said to the demon wolf.
It seems that these three demon wolves are already four-star demonic beasts, stronger than the demonic beasts that Lin Xu has encountered before, and as soon as they appeared, there were as many as three, and they actually formed a group attack on Lin Xu, but Lin Xuan knew it in his heart, and he had already thought of a countermeasure, so he was able to deal with it calmly and not in a hurry.
"Whew-"
A demon wolf unleashed a powerful wind blade at Lin Xu, flying towards Lin Xu like a sharp knife, slashing straight at his waist.
The wind demon wolf has always been cunning and ferocious, and it really deserves its name.
Lin Xuan was not in a hurry, his internal strength was surging, and while running the Tianyuan Overlord Body to protect his body, he swung his sword and struck at the demon wolf.
The sword flashed, and with a "dang" sound, Lin Xuan slashed the wind blade released by the demon wolf into pieces, and shook the demon wolf back. The three demon wolves all involuntarily retreated backwards for more than two feet.
