The time of the Immortal Cultivation was not short. Since the competition between the two sects, five years seemed to have slipped away in the blink of an eye.
In the past five years, the Lingjian School had returned to its former tranquil and contented rhythm. The disciples cultivated, studied, and lived step by step. The Elders, from time to time, went out to wander, sometimes went into seclusion on the mountain, and sometimes solved the doubts of the disciples...
In the past five years, the disciples who had high hopes began to gradually grow up. Yue Yun, Yue Xinyao, Wen Bao, Zhu Qin... one after another, they successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. The side effects of the intensive cultivation before the competition between the two sects had also been offset, and the disciples had taken a solid step forward on the Immortal Cultivation Path.
As for Wang Lu? That would be another level of existence.
As the lead disciple of the Lingjian School, Wang Lu's five years of cultivation experience was enough to make most of the Spirit Sword Sect's disciples envious. The resources that the sect had invested in him were several times more than that of the average disciple. He was indeed in line with the position of the lead disciple of the sect, which gathered the entire sect's power to train him.
The reason why Wang Lu didn't hesitate to get the lead disciple treatment, in addition to suppressing his unreliable Master, was so that he could walk a bit faster on the Immortal Cultivation Path...
Of course, it was not because of a sense of crisis. Although he had a conversation with the Sect Leader five years ago on the Stellar Peak, which vaguely revealed that there might be a big change in the near future, for a Deity Stage cultivator, the concept of "near" was likely to refer to one or two hundred years or even longer, far from the time to worry about it.
Wang Lu's eagerness to cultivate was mostly due to his love of cultivation. He liked cultivation, liked Non-Phase Method, liked the process of perfecting his Jade Mansion, quenching his primordial spirit, and solidifying his Sword Bone. He incomparably enjoyed the feeling of being stronger than the day before. His Void Spirit Root and Non-Phase Method were far from perfect. In the process of cultivation, he would always encounter various obstacles. Some of them could be taken shortcuts, while others could only be solved with time, energy, and resources … At this time, it was naturally unreliable to count on the impoverished Non-Phase Peak, and the privilege of the lead disciple could play a great role.
A qualified adventurer was bound to be a leveling maniac. After five years of crazy leveling, he had smoothly entered the middle level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. At this point, Wang Lu had been cultivating for ten years. Reaching the middle level of the Foundation Establishment Realm in ten years was considered quite fast among the geniuses of the Wanxian League. Not to mention that he also had the Great Heart Demon Oath to strengthen his Non-Phase Method system. His comprehensive strength had become the top level among the younger generation.
However, to say that they could leave all of their peers behind was not necessarily true. In the past five years, everyone had been making progress, such as the disciples of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect who had been patiently waiting for revenge. Among them, the Eldest Brother Zhan Ziye entered the high-level Foundation Establishment Stage a year after he returned to the Immortal Sect. His progress was incredibly fast. After the promotion, he returned to the Spirit Sword Mountain as promised and paid a visit.
Then, sure enough, he was once again defeated by the hands of Liu Li.
Because Liu Li had also made amazing progress in this one year, the gap between her and Zhan Ziye had widened a bit, which almost made Zhan Ziye desperate.
In the past year, he went deep into the sect's experiential learning place and experienced all kinds of hardships to have this kind of progress. However, unexpectedly, he still couldn't keep up with the footsteps of the other party. Zhan Ziye's dispirited back caused the Elders of the Lingjian School to sigh with emotion.
Zhan Ziye, Liu Li, Wang Lu … This group of peerless geniuses that made many cultivators sigh with emotion, each had their own lucky chance, but without exception, they were particularly persistent in Immortal Cultivation. Zhan Ziye might have done a lot of things in the past year, but how could Liu Li be lazy? In the past year, Liu Li had fought at least one hundred battles and was seriously injured dozens of times. Several times, her Jade Mansion was shaken and her primordial spirit cracked, which nearly led to a catastrophe! How could there be no progress in such desperate struggle?
As for the person who fought with Liu Li for more than a hundred times, which contributed to her rapid progress … could there be anyone else?
In the past five years, another reason why Wang Lu desperately cultivated was because of Liu Li. Since the decisive battle on the Cloud Tread Rooftop, Liu Li had been pestering him.
For a girl with a simple temperament, the defeat on the Cloud Tread Rooftop didn't make her resentful. On the contrary, Wang Lu's mystical swordsmanship deeply attracted her, causing her to be intoxicated. Since her Brilliant Sword Heart was completed, there had never been a cultivator with similar cultivation base to her who could block her flying sword head-on.
And the way Liu Li expressed her favorable impression of him was to fight with her sword from time to time. Every time, she would fight until the sky turned dark. Even if she was seriously injured, she would never get tired of it!
In this regard, Wang Lu didn't refuse. Whether it was Non-Phase Method or Brilliant Sword Heart, both belonged to the category of methods that could be used in battle to nurture battle. Every time in actual combat, it could be of great help. Moreover, the more the fight, the more different the style of the opponent, the greater the benefit. The effect of simply cultivating in seclusion was not that obvious.
However, whether it was Brilliant Sword Heart or Non-Phase Method, there was no lack of change. The same opponent could bring a completely different fighting experience. In the past five years, the two of them fought nearly a thousand battles, and almost every battle was different.
With so many battles, naturally, it was impossible for him to win all of them. Wang Lu roughly calculated that the odds of winning against Liu Li was about fifty-fifty. In the first two years, he lost more than he won. Later on, in the last three years, he gradually recovered. However, it was still not too much of an advantage.
Of course, compared to five years ago, when he exhausted all his means, he was still unable to defeat Liu Li fair and square. Five years later, he was able to fight evenly with Liu Li, or even slightly better than her, which was already an extremely rare progress … If according to Wang Lu's popularized set of weighted value algorithm, his current comprehensive strength was about level six Foundation Establishment + 20, while Liu Li was level two Foundation Establishment + 16, which was almost equal to peak Xudan Stage Xiao Ming. If the two people's attack and defense were calculated separately, the highest could even reach more than + 25, entering the level of King Pill.
In the past five years, Wang Lu and Liu Li, in addition to their cultivation base gains, they also had a friendship that was forged through nearly a thousand battles. Five years ago, the two Successor Disciples were just nodding acquaintances, but five years later, they have become good friends — in Wang Lu's words, Liu Li was mankind's best friend.
—
On this day, Wang Lu had just finished his breakfast and cleaned up the tableware when he heard the lively and cheerful voice of a girl full of vitality coming from outside the house.
"Wang Lu, Wang Lu, I'm here to play with you!"
Then a colorful cloud flashed before his eyes, and Liu Li was already standing in front of him, smiling like a flower.
Wang Lu looked at the girl and nodded. "Sit down."
Liu Li immediately sat at the table with a straight posture.
"Stretch out your hand."
The girl stretched out her slender jade-like hand.
"Good girl." Then Wang Lu touched her small head, took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket, and put them in her hand. "Eat it."
"Hehe." Liu Li smiled charmingly, put the candy into her mouth, and then vaguely said, "Do you want to fight?"
"Damn, still want to fight? Didn't we just fight yesterday?"
However, Liu Li unexpectedly uttered out a philosophical sentence, "Yesterday we had a meal, today we still have to eat."
"Young girl, don't be too demanding!" Wang Lu snappily flicked her forehead. "In the next few days, I probably won't be able to fight, so I'm going to go on a long trip."
Liu Li nodded and said as if it was a matter of course, "Of course we're going to fight outside the house. Master said that we absolutely can't fight inside the house. Otherwise, if we break something, I won't be able to eat dinner."
"... Going on a long trip and going out are two different concepts." After knowing each other for five years, Wang Lu had a very high tolerance for Liu Li's IQ. He patiently explained, "I'm going to go down the mountain to Cloud Region, which will take about ten days to half a month. During this period, I can't accompany you to fight."
Liu Li was surprised. "You want to go down the mountain? I'll be lonely! "
"Then find a cucumber by yourself." Wang Lu helplessly shook his head. "I don't intend to go, but unfortunately, I can't disobey Master's order."
Liu Li asked, "I remember you said that you're now the lead disciple, under one person but above tens of thousands of people. Your idiot Master's words have no binding force on you at all."
"The problem is, this time, she persuaded the Sect Leader, so I can't do anything about it." Wang Lu shrugged. "That slut said that I, as the lead disciple of the sect, have been staying on the mountain for too long, wasting the honor of being the lead disciple. Now that I've been cultivating for ten years, it's time for me to go down the mountain to wander the world and boost the sect's influence … That's simply absurd. If she really wants to improve the sect's influence, wouldn't it be better for her to run around naked in front of Shengjing Sect's gate? This is clearly a retaliation. "
Liu Li curiously asked, "Retaliation? Why? "
Wang Lu frowned. "... Because she reported to the Sect Leader that she tried to steal the sect's assets? Refused to be a guarantor for the loan? Asked Aya to cook dinner for her? There are too many reasons, it's hard to choose. In short, because of her, I can't accompany you to play on the mountain for the next few days. "
"Oh." The girl listlessly drooped her head, looking pitiful.
"But." Wang Lu had a second thought. "I can take you down the mountain together."
"Down the mountain together? Is that really okay?" Liu Li's eyes immediately lit up. "There are a lot of fun things down the mountain. Unfortunately, my Master has been blocking me from going."
Wang Lu said, "Nonsense, with your IQ, no one would be at ease to let you go down the mountain alone... Eight years ago, when the sect organized the disciples to go down the mountain for experiential learning, Liu Li ate and played. Along the way, she ran into trouble all the way to the Blood Cloud Gorge, and even killed the twelve Blood Cloud Demons. This experience sounded awe-inspiring and domineering, but her Master, the master of Brilliant Peak, was nearly scared to death.
However, if she was with him, there shouldn't be any problem. In the past five years, Liu Li had been trained by him to be as obedient as Huahua, and his Fourth Uncle was also particularly open-minded, allowing his precious disciple to be his pet to tease … But then again, in the past five years, with Wang Lu watching over her, the number of times Liu Li ran into trouble was indeed a lot less.
And this time, Wang Lu was ordered to go down the mountain. If he was alone, it would indeed be boring. Among his good friends, Yue Xinyao, Wen Bao, and the others, their cultivation base had been pulled apart. Only Liu Li, who not only had similar strength, but also complemented each other in offense and defense. Moreover, they also had a tacit understanding from five years of fighting, which could be called a perfect combination.
When Wang Lu asked Zhou Ming about this matter, Zhou Ming very happily nodded. "Okay, actually, I have long wanted to arrange her to go down the mountain for experiential learning. If you go with her, I can rest assured. This child is pure in mind and doesn't know the sinister side of the world. She needs a sinister person to teach her. You are willing to help her, so I should thank you. "
"... Thank you, Uncle, for your praise. Then I will accept this coolie without any politeness."
After leaving the Brilliant Peak, Wang Lu went back to the Non-Phase Peak to call Liu Li, led the mottled dog, and embarked on the journey to Cloud Region.
