After the celebration banquet, Lin Xu, after careful consideration, felt that the Beast Control Empire and the Red Empire had been hit hard, and it was impossible to continue to send troops to attack the kamikaze camp in a short period of time. Then he had to make good use of this time to cultivate the Blue Ice Heavenly Sword Duel and improve his strength in order to meet the next challenge.

After all, Lin Xuan was not only a cultivator now, but also a battalion commander commanding three thousand soldiers and horses, and with a military position, it was impossible for him to be as free as he was alone before.

Lin Xuan now had to take care of both his own cultivation and the many brothers in the Divine Wind Camp, he was physically and mentally exhausted, but he was also willing.

Since he wants to get ahead and make contributions in the Shenghua Empire and even the Heavenly Sword Continent, he must bear these hardships, otherwise he will not be able to achieve great things.

Lin Xuan had already reached the Sword Spirit Realm, and breaking through from the Sword Spirit to the Sword Soul Realm was much more difficult than all the previous realms. At the same time, it also carries a great risk, and if you make a slight mistake, you may go crazy and never recover.

Lin Xu knew the stakes and had to be more serious and careful. He was going to ask his master Bai Qing for advice to see how he could get the upgrade faster and smoother.

Before leaving, Lin Xuan called Leopard Print and Wang Long, told the two of them that he was going to find Bai Qing to cultivate, and also entrusted them with all the affairs of the kamikaze camp, and instructed the two of them to maintain the order of the kamikaze camp with all their might after they left, and not to cause chaos.

Both Leopard and Wang Lung promised Lin Xuan that they would not fail Lin Xu's trust and fulfill their duties, so that Lin Xuan could cultivate with peace of mind, and Lin Xuan would definitely not cause more trouble.

As for the movements of the Beast Control Empire and the Red Empire, Lin Xu had already secretly sent spies to monitor them, so that he knew himself and his opponent, and was confident.

Just in case, Lin Xuan also taught Leopard and Wang Lung how to deal with enemy raids, ensuring that they could lead the soldiers of the kamikaze battalion to hold out until they returned from cultivation.

In addition, Lin Xuan also had to settle Shangguan Tianfang well, so as not to worry about her.

Lin Xu originally wanted Shangguan Tianfang to stay in the kamikaze camp to manage some logistics affairs, but he never thought that Shangguan Tianfang would have higher and greater ambitions.

"Big brother, my body has fully recovered. I don't want to stay in the kamikaze camp, I also want to go with you to practice swordsmanship. Shangguan Tianfang said to Lin Xu very seriously.

"What, you also want to cultivate?" Lin Xuan was surprised, and couldn't help but look at Shangguan Tianfang with wide eyes. He really didn't expect that this seemingly weak girl would also start the idea of cultivating, and seeing Shangguan Tianfang so serious, it wasn't just for fun.

"That's right!" Shangguan Tianfang nodded very affirmatively and said, "Big brother, I have figured it out these days, only when I become strong can I not be bullied by others, so I also have to cultivate hard like you and strive to become a powerful powerhouse." ”

"Miss Shangguan, although what you said is very reasonable, the path of cultivation is full of hardships and dangers, and it is not a joke. If you go astray and go astray, you will lose your life. The dream of being a strong man is not something that everyone can achieve. Do you see how many cultivators who have cultivated like this throughout the ages have been able to successfully become gods and immortals in the end?" Lin Xuan patiently persuaded Shangguan Tianfang, obviously wanting her to give up the idea of cultivating.

"Big brother, I know all this, and I'm mentally ready. I am not afraid of hardship or danger, I just ask you to take me as an apprentice and teach me to practice swordsmanship. Shangguan Tianfang said to Lin Xu very firmly and sincerely.

"This ......" Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Faced with Shangguan Tianfang's sincere attitude, he really couldn't bear to refuse this kind girl.

But Lin Xuan also has his own concerns. He didn't want Shangguan Tianfang to face unpredictable dangers in the future, and he didn't want a weak woman like her to suffer with him in the path of cultivation.

"Big brother, please, I really want to cultivate, please promise me to accept me as an apprentice. Shangguan Tianfang pleaded with Lin Xu, and immediately bent his knees, wanting to kneel down and salute Lin Xu.

Seeing this, Lin Xu hurriedly held Shangguan Tianfang, stopped her from kneeling, and said, "Miss Shangguan, this can't be helped." I'm about the same age as you, so how can I be your master?"

"Big brother, the capable person is a teacher, and it has nothing to do with age. I know you must be making excuses and don't want to teach me how to practice swordsmanship. Shangguan Tianguan whispered in disappointment, with an extremely sad expression on his face, as if he couldn't help but cry.

The beauty wept, and I felt pity. Lin Xu's heart immediately softened. He admitted that he liked this girl very much in his heart, and naturally he didn't want her to be sad.

But Lin Xuan also has self-knowledge, and with his current cultivation, he is far from being able to be a teacher. Even if he was able to teach Shangguan Tianfang some basic things, he wouldn't be able to help her improve. After all, Lin Xuan himself is now in the stage of promotion, and if he doesn't get it right, he will delay others and himself at the same time. That's really more than worth the loss.

Lin Xuan groaned slightly, and with a flash of inspiration, he suddenly thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, which could not only meet Shangguan Tianfang's requirements, but also not delay his cultivation of the Blue Ice Heavenly Sword Duel. Maybe he can also use this to bring his relationship with Shangguan Tianfang closer.

The method that Lin Xu thought of was to introduce Shangguan Tianfang to his master Bai Qing, hoping that Bai Qing would accept her as an apprentice. Moreover, Bai Qing is a woman, so it will be more convenient when teaching Shangguan Tianfang. Lin Xu felt that this was the best and most desirable way.

However, when the time comes, whether Bai Qing is willing to accept Shangguan Tianfang as an apprentice, Lin Xu has no bottom in his heart. Bai Qing is a master of the world, and now she is in a state of seclusion, and she can only worship her as a teacher by chance or unintentionally. To put it bluntly, all this is mostly a matter of luck, and it can't be forced, so it can't be artificial. Lin Xu had to make this clear to Shangguan Tianfang.

Lin Xuan thought of this, so he said to Shangguan Tianfang seriously: "Shangguan girl, you don't have to be sad, I have a way to help you realize your desire to cultivate, but whether this matter is successful or not depends on the will of heaven." We can only try to try. ”

"What's the solution? Either way, I'm willing to try. When Shangguan Tianfang heard this, he immediately turned his worries into joy, looked at Lin Xu with an expectant face and asked.

"My master's name is Bai Qing, and he is a woman like you. I want to introduce you to her, and beg her to take you as an apprentice. Whether it will be successful or not depends on my master's meaning, I can only try to say some good things to you in front of my master. Lin Xuan told Shangguan Tianfang in detail.

"Well, big brother, no matter what the result is, I will be grateful to you. Then it depends on my creation, and I know that this kind of thing cannot be forced. Shangguan Tianfang said softly to Lin Xu. Now she had become calm, looking calm, no longer as sad as she had been before.

Since Lin Xuan had provided such a good opportunity, Shangguan Tianfang felt that he had to try his best to grasp it. Even if you fail, you will always gain something from your efforts.

Lin Xuan saw that Shangguan Tianfang understood things so well, and secretly decided in his heart that he wanted to try his best to get Bai Qing to agree to accept her as an apprentice. He felt that Shangguan Tianfang was really a rare good girl, and hoped that Bai Qing could like her as much as he did.

After Shangguan Tianfang packed her bags, Lin Xuan set off with her in a carriage. Since there were no soldiers accompanying him this time, Lin Xu could only be a coachman, holding a whip to drive the carriage himself.

The little orangutan followed Lin Xu's side inch by inch, humming and screaming non-stop, and sometimes grimacing at Lin Xuan and Shangguan Tianfang, adding a lot of fun to the two, so that they would not feel bored and bored when they were in a hurry.

Coming to the foot of Qingxian Peak, the place leading to Bai Qing's seclusion is a rugged mountain road, narrow and steep, not only can the carriage not pass, but also can not even ride a horse. The only way to do this is on foot.

The little orangutan was most familiar with the route here, so he scrambled to lead the way, as if he was afraid that Lin Xu would take the wrong road. Lin Xuan and Shangguan Tianfang followed closely behind it.

The baby orangutan sometimes walked upright, sometimes jumped, and walked faster than Lin Xuan and Shangguan Tianfang. If Lin Xu was alone, then with his skills, he could keep up with the little orangutan, but now he had to take care of Shangguan Tianfang, so he didn't dare to go too quickly, lest Shangguan Tianfang not be able to keep up.

After walking for a while, Shangguan Tianfang was already tired and panting, his jade forehead was sweating, and a strand of hair was soaked with fragrant sweat, which looked unique. When Lin Xuan saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and at the same time, he felt a little distressed.

He estimated that it would take half an hour to reach Bai Qing, and Shangguan Tianfang might not be able to bear it due to physical exhaustion, so he took the initiative to propose: "Shangguan girl, you are tired, why don't I carry you away." ”

As he spoke, Lin Xuan took the initiative to bend down and motioned for Shangguan Tianfang to lie on his back.

But Shangguan Tianfang politely rejected Lin Xu's kindness, and said with a smile: "No need, I'm not tired, I can still go." ”

"Don't be reckless, there's still a long way to get to the master, and it's such a difficult mountain road, so let me carry you." Lin Xuan persuaded Shangguan Tianfang.

"Big brother, thank you. I really don't have to carry it, I can hold on. If I can't even endure this bit of suffering, then why should I practice swordsmanship?" Shangguan Tianfang seriously rejected Lin Xuan again.

"Oh, it's great that you have the confidence and perseverance. I will do my best to get the master to take you as an apprentice. Lin Xu was moved by Shangguan Tianfang's spirit of not being afraid of hardship, so he made a solemn promise to her.

"Okay, then I'll thank Senior Brother first. Shangguan Tianfang smiled and said to Lin Xu in a playful tone.

"Don't rush to call Senior Brother yet, in fact, I am not 100% sure, but I will definitely do my best to help you. Lin Xu deliberately looked at Shangguan Tianfang's delicate and lovely face, and said with a smile.

"It's okay!" Shangguan Tianfang said generously to Lin Xu: "If you can't be my senior brother, then you can be directly promoted to be my master." ”
