Chapter 133: The Master of the Outer Courtyard
In the attic of 25,000, Cheng Ling sat cross-legged in the hall, running the body refining exercises.
It has been three days, and in these three days, Cheng Ling's name has reached the ears of almost every disciple in the outer gate. The rookie disciple consulted the stone pillar for five consecutive hours, swept the Iron Sword Society, defeated the tiger and dominated the sky, and ranked fifth in the top 100 list.
All kinds of deeds are known to everyone, and in the complex building, Cheng Ling's name can often be heard from the disciples of the teahouse.
And not only the disciples, but even the high-level officials of the outer court have heard of it. The swordsmanship used by Cheng Ling and Wu Haichao in the battle is somewhat similar to the Four Seasons Swordsmanship and the Star Swordsmanship, and the artistic conception of the sword seems to be in the same vein.
Thinking of breaking through the kendo tower before the duel with Lu Yiqing, could it be that he broke through the eighth layer before learning that high-end swordsmanship? Although Fu Qingsong also broke through to the eighth layer, he did not pass the level, and he persisted for a long time before failing.
The Four Seasons Sword Technique was contributed by Fu Qingsong to the Outer Gate Library, and for this, he was rewarded with 50,000 contribution points. Originally, the deacon elders intended to reward achievement points, but the Four Seasons Sword Technique was only not much higher than the Star Point Sword Technique, and in the end, he gave up.
However, according to the report of the elder who presided over Cheng Ling's decisive battle at that time, the swordsmanship that Cheng Ling used was a big level higher than that of the Four Seasons swordsmanship, and it should have reached the level of the middle level of the ground level.
This is not simple, the four major families and three major sects in the south, the top martial arts are only at the lower level of the prefecture, only the Famous Sword Academy has the intermediate level of the prefecture, and there is only one, and there is no supporting swordsmanship.
Now that he learned that Cheng Ling might have a mid-level swordsmanship, the upper echelons of the outer gate of the academy were not calm. One by one, they all wanted to come out and persuade Cheng Ling to contribute their swordsmanship. But with the words of the old man, the high-level people fell into contemplation.
"If Cheng Ling contributed that swordsmanship, how should he be rewarded?"
Yes, the ground-level mid-level swordsmanship is not a big road, and there is no outer gate of the academy so far, if Cheng Ling contributes it, it will definitely not be convincing to reward contribution points alone, is it really necessary to reward achievement points?
But the achievement points are not simple, and only the core disciples of the inner gate of the academy can receive one point every month. Achievement points are very useful, as long as they are in the academy's treasury, they can be exchanged directly. This is the core secret of the academy, and the reward must be cautious!
All the bigwigs in the outer gate were in deep thought, and Cheng Ling's time to enter the academy was too short. I am not familiar with my background and temperament, so who knows if it will be unfavorable to the college.
After a long time, an elder said, "Why don't we let Cheng Ling choose any treasure in the outer courtyard treasury?"
Jian Lao Dao was the first to object, and said: "Ground-level mid-level swordsmanship, only one treasure will be rewarded, who else in the future disciples will be willing to contribute the cheats to the academy? In my opinion, at least three treasures should be rewarded, and achievement points are essential!"
The dean of the outer courtyard looked at Jian Lao Dao in surprise, and said suspiciously: "Jian Lao, this is not in line with your past temperament, you rarely express opinions on this kind of thing, does Cheng Ling have anything to do with you?"
Jian Lao Dao shook his head and said: "I have nothing to do with Cheng Ling, but I know that this son has amazing potential, and he will definitely be able to grow into the backbone of the Famous Sword Academy in the future!"
The elders were in an uproar, with such a high evaluation, could it be that Sword Elder Dao went crazy again?
Jian Lao Dao glanced at them and said indifferently: "Because I know that Cheng Ling is likely to have comprehended the sword intent. Therefore, let alone say that it is a tiger tyrant, even Fu Qingsong is not his opponent!"
"What!"
The dean of the outer courtyard was taken aback and said loudly, "You said that he comprehended the sword intent, how old is he?"
"Twenty!"
"Hiss~!"
Everyone let out a sore sound, comprehending the sword intent at the age of twenty, what is that concept? Like them, some of the elders have lived for hundreds of years, and they are still pondering on the road of comprehending the sword intent, hoping that one day God will open their eyes, and a lightning bolt will fall to help them achieve the sword intent.
Even the dean of the outer courtyard only comprehended the sword intent when he was more than a hundred years old, and the next one is the sword elder Dao, who comprehended the sword intent in his early five hundreds, and as for the elders in the back, there are only five people who comprehend the sword intent, and they all opened their minds when they were more than eight hundred years old!
Sword intent is the supreme artistic conception that swordsmen can comprehend. A swordsman who comprehends sword intent is generally several times stronger than a monk of the same level. Moreover, the sword intent can also be improved, and the sooner it is comprehended, the greater the improvement.
Like Jian Lao Dao, he comprehended the sword intent at the age of five hundred, and now it has been almost five hundred years before the sword intent has been raised to thirty percent. And the master of the outer courtyard, who comprehended the sword intent at the age of more than 100 years, has reached the realm of fifty percent after three hundred years now.
If Cheng Ling really comprehended the sword intent at the age of twenty, how high would his sword intent be in another hundred years? Everyone really couldn't imagine it, they didn't know that Cheng Ling's sword intent had reached the edge of one percent.
The master of the outer courtyard glanced at all the elders, and finally said: "This matter, the stakes are too big, I want to see Cheng Ling with my own eyes, what kind of sword genius he is!"
Cheng Ling, the closed-door meeting of the bigwig in the outer courtyard, didn't know that he was watching Wu Chenlong practice swordsmanship in the courtyard. Before breaking through Yuanying, he decided to let Wu Chenlong enter the top 100 disciples of the outer sect.
During this time, in addition to cultivating the body refining technique, he was urging Wu Chenlong to practice swordsmanship. Cheng Ling gave him one million contribution points and asked him to change to better exercises and body methods. As for swordsmanship, it is enough to practice the swordsmanship he has passed on.
Wu Chenlong replaced the top exercise "Sanyuan Gong" at the outer gate of the academy, which is the only local-level intermediate level exercise in the outer gate, and the contribution points exchanged are as high as 600,000. In the entire outer gate, there are not more than a number of people who can cultivate.
The power of the three-element gong is powerful, and the true yuan refinement he cultivated is pure, and he doesn't know how many times stronger than the human-level high-grade exercises he cultivated before. After only five days of cultivation, Wu Chenlong broke through the late stage of Jindan and reached the realm of consummation.
Coupled with Cheng Ling's endless supply of elixirs and spiritual fruits, Wu Chenlong's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. Attacking the pinnacle of consummation!
He sincerely thanked Cheng Ling, without his help, it would take at least a month to reach the state of consummation. Now not only has his cultivation improved steadily, but even his swordsmanship has improved a lot. He gave Cheng Ling's swordsmanship a name, and it was called Jin Ling Swordsmanship!
After getting along for more than half a month, he also knew that Cheng Ling's cultivation had reached the limit of Jindan, and he could break through Yuanying at any time.
While being grateful in my heart, I am also crazy about cultivating, as a younger brother, I can't always be a drag on my eldest brother. He wants to improve his strength as soon as possible and break into the top 100 of the outer gate, so that Cheng Ling can go to the inner gate with peace of mind.
The sun gradually set in the west, and the remnant sun was like blood, reflecting Wu Chenlong's bronzed skin, emitting an oily light.
Cheng Ling nodded slowly, during this time, he has made great progress, and if he maintains this momentum, he will be able to have the strength of the top 100 in ten days at most. Just as he was about to remind Wu Chenlong to rest for a while, there was a fluctuation from the ban outside.
Cheng Ling frowned slightly, since the sword defeated the tiger dominator, the past half a month has finally been much quieter, and no one has come to disturb him anymore. Today, I don't know which one of the eyeless people came to send contribution points.
With a wave of his right hand, the ban opened. I saw one standing outside the ban
A deacon disciple, after seeing Cheng Ling, hurriedly bowed down and said, "Senior Brother Cheng, the master of the courtyard is invited!"
"The academy master?" Cheng Ling was stunned, what was the academy master looking for him, he had been in the academy for less than a month, and he had never had contact with the academy master!
He looked at Wu Chenlong in confusion, Wu Chenlong was also puzzled, and spread his hands, meaning that he didn't know.
Cheng Ling was helpless, so he could only ask the deacon disciples, "What is the master looking for me for?"
"I don't know, please ask Senior Brother Cheng to come over as soon as possible, the courtyard master is still waiting!"
"Alright then, lead the way!"
When the deacon disciple waited for Cheng Ling to get out of the ban, he invited him to get into the beast cart. Cheng Ling looked at it, obediently, this is a purple electric demon horse, a fifth-level demon beast, and the speed is extremely fast.
When I think about it, my residence is too far away, and it takes too much time to get to the residence of the owner. He didn't shirk it, and went straight to the beast cart. As soon as the deacon disciple flung the reins, the demon horse ran quickly. Cheng Ling felt the speed, and it was faster than he could use his full strength.
The drum beat in his heart, what is the so-called matter of this academy master summoning him so urgently? It seems that he has not violated any rules!
The speed of the purple electric demon horse was extremely fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Cheng Ling came to the residence of the courtyard master. The residence is very large, many times larger than the disciple's attic, and it is also very magnificently built, with carved beams and jade pillars, and flying eaves and pavilions, which are more than the palaces of the Forbidden City.
As the deacon's disciples entered the gate, they saw a large garden in front of them, planted with many precious flowers and spiritual fruits. Pavilions, pavilions, rockeries, corridors, and lakes in the park are all available, and they are perfectly matched.
Along the winding corridor, as the deacon disciple came to the attic, the disciple said, "Senior Brother Cheng, you go in, the courtyard master is inside!"
Cheng Ling nodded, and walked in.
Inside the house is a welcoming living room, turning the carved screen behind the door, I saw a middle-aged man in a cyan robe, standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
Cheng Ling took two steps forward, bowed to him, and said, "Disciple Cheng Ling, I've seen the courtyard master!"
"Oh!" the middle-aged man turned around and asked, "Are you Cheng Ling?"
Cheng Ling raised his eyes and saw that the person in front of him was about thirty years old, with a majestic face, wearing a scarf and long hair shawl, a bit like the image of Duan Yu in the Hong Kong version of the TV series. It's just that there is less book anger, and there is more of the majesty of a superior person!
He glanced at it twice, then nodded and said, "Yes, the disciple is Cheng Ling." ”
The master of the courtyard glanced at him and asked, "Where are you from?"
"I was born in the Chen family in Fallen Leaf City, but I was not liked by my father since I was a child, and I was outcast, so I changed my name and followed my mother's surname!"
The master of the courtyard was noncommittal, just stared at him closely. Cheng Ling felt a powerful sword momentum coming from him, and he was busy running his exercises to resist it. It's just that the sword momentum of the courtyard master is so amazing, Cheng Ling's cultivation can't resist it at all, and he insists on it for a while, and has to release his sword intent to resist.
The courtyard master's heart moved, and sure enough, he really comprehended the sword intent. Slowly retracting his momentum, he asked again, "That's all?"
Cheng Ling breathed a sigh of relief, smiled bitterly in his heart, it seemed that he couldn't hide it, so he could only say helplessly: "After leaving, I joined the Phaseless Sword Sect, and later became the Sect Master of the Phaseless Sword Sect!"
"Oh, the Sect Master of the Wuxiang Sword Sect, you have the surname Cheng, and you say that you follow your motherhood, what is the relationship with the Cheng family?"
The courtyard master's voice turned cold, and his blazing eyes stared at Cheng Ling. Cheng Ling only felt that the sword momentum began to condense again, and slowly pressed towards him!
