Wang Lu had always prided himself as a professional adventurer, and one of the main business of a professional adventurer was to solve all kinds of puzzles. The Ancient Sword Tomb trial was naturally within the scope of his business.
Just listening to Hai Xiaohai's experience in the sword tomb, Wang Lu felt that the two teams of Ten Thousand Arts Sect and Kunlun Immortal Sect were simply innumerable. Even if he was alone, he could do better than their team … But on the other hand, professional adventurers were not omnipotent. If he relied on himself, perhaps it would be difficult to continue until the third level, and he still needed help to continue.
Compared to Zhu Shiyao, who easily walked into the treasure room alone, Wang Lu also admitted that at least in terms of the first three levels, he was not the best. Moreover, apart from Zhu Shiyao, he dared not say that he was the number one in the Spirit Sword Mountain Sect in terms of strategy.
The Lady Boss of the Ru Family Inn in Spirit Creek Town was the real expert. No matter how big the mechanism array was, under the touch of her slender jade-like hands, it would disintegrate into nothingness. Plus, although she looked petite and exquisite, in fact, her iron fist was like a hammer, and her strength was as great as an ox. As long as she pushed all the way, there was no obstacle that she could not pass.
Therefore, when it came to the in-depth development of the Ancient Sword Tomb, the first person that came to Wang Lu's mind was the Lady Boss.
"Lady Boss, I want a takeout."
Pushing open the door of the inn, he saw the Lady Boss behind the counter was somewhat restlessly tapping her abacus in front of a blank account book. The calculation process was probably zero plus zero equals zero … Seeing Wang Lu came in, the Lady Boss put down her abacus, raised her eyelids, and said, "Why don't you hurry to prepare for the experiential learning in the Southern Heaven Region? Why are you wasting your time here … Why do you want takeout?"
Wang Lu said with a sinking voice, "I want a pair of white cut pig's trotters that can break all kinds of methods."
The Lady Boss picked up the wine jar and smashed it.
"Don't be so grumpy, I'm very sincere in asking for help."
The Lady Boss glanced at him. "I told you, my ability is only the most effective in the Spirit Sword Mountain, and the furthest I can go is the Blue River Region. I can't do anything in the Southern Heaven Region."
Wang Lu explained, "The main body of the Sword Tomb is not in the Southern Heaven Region. The Southern Heaven Region is just an entrance that was accidentally discovered. It exists in an unknown space where the Sword Tomb and Nine Regions meet."
The Lady Boss said, "My main body isn't in the Tiannan, but it's not in the Blue River Region either. Once I cross the boundary, I won't be able to display my abilities, but if that thing escapes, can you bear the responsibility?"
Wang Lu said, "That's why I don't dare to hope that you'll personally accompany me, Sister Ling. However, do you have any way to make your ability portable? Hmm, for example, is it possible for your undergarments to inherit the effects of your ability …"
"Pervert, die!"
"Wait wait wait, Sister Ling, this is based on academic research …"
Jokes aside, when Wang Lu saw Feng Ling's attitude, he knew that his dreams had been shattered. There were no shortcuts to the development of Tiannan Sword Tomb.
Of course, he should have thought that if Feng Ling was so useful, even if the Sect Leader had to kneel and lick her boots, he would still use her power … He just considered that their relationship was bad, and perhaps Feng Ling was deliberately standing by, but now it seemed that this was not the case.
However, he was just trying his luck. Sister Ling's undergarments … No, he couldn't get a portable item to break through the barrier, so it would be good to have a portion of sliced pig's trotters as a sumptuous meal. However, just when Wang Lu gave up, the Lady Boss slightly hesitated and said, "This time, the exploration of the Ancient Sword Tomb is very risky. I see that there are quite a lot of disputes among the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders, so don't be too careless. I have a treasure here, which was given to me by Old Man Feng. It can save my life at a critical moment. I think you might be able to use it. "
With that, the Lady Boss took out an orange jade tablet from her bosom and directly stuffed it into Wang Lu's hand.
"When you need it, just crush it. Unless it's a life and death situation, don't use it carelessly. If you don't have any use for it, that's for the best. Remember to return it to me when you come back."
Wang Lu only felt a warmth in his hand, and the jade tablet that had the warmth of a young girl fell into his hand without any hesitation. Without waiting for him to speak, the Lady Boss turned around and went to the kitchen.
Since her signal to send him off was so obvious, even though Wang Lu was a little puzzled, he still left the Ru Family Inn. However, as he held the jade tablet given by the Lady Boss, a question involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Because of Feng Ling's constitution, she rarely touched any spiritual objects, because it was very likely that she would destroy the treasure with just a light touch. During the Immortal Gathering, when she gave him the Fresh-Keeping Food Container, she had placed a handkerchief on it. But now, she directly took off the jade tablet. Was she not afraid of damaging the spiritual object?
Wang Lu observed it curiously. The spiritual energy in the jade tablet was restrained, and it was sealed with a unique method. Unless he really crushed it, he would not be able to determine its specific effects.

After saying goodbye to the Ru Family Inn, his second stop was Misty Peak's cafeteria.
"Oh? Wang Lu, it's you. I heard that you're going to a very dangerous place to train? That's right! A qualified swordsman should continuously challenge themselves in dangerous situations and sharpen their swords. Wait a moment, I have something for you. "
While speaking, Aya did not allow him to say anything else. She quickly took out a large package.
"This is the military rations I specially prepared for you."
"…"
"It's a special product of Blue Sky Peak, so it's very nutritious!"
"…" Wang Lu was silent for a while, but he accepted it for the time being. He thought that when he needed to use poison, he would at least have the raw materials.
After giving away her sincerity, Aya felt carefree. "Then, is there anything else?"
Wang Lu said, "I want to spar with you with the sword again."
"Oh? It has indeed been a long time since we've sparred with the sword. You've grown a lot during this period of time, so let me see your new skills! "
As he spoke, his dark green eyes shone with an aggressive light!
In the last sparring session with Aya, as expected, he was once again defeated. Similarly, as expected, he had a new understanding. This chef of the Misty Peak could be said to be one of the most mysterious people in Spirit Sword Mountain. Seemingly without the least bit of Immortal Method, she was just a mortal with good swordsmanship. However, with his current Xudan Stage strength, Wang Lu still could not win against her. Aya's swordsmanship was like a never-ending towering peak. The stronger she was, the stronger she became, making it impossible for people to guess where her limit was.
However, the reason why Wang Lu sparred with her was not to win, but to sharpen his sword edge. Sparring with Aya before the expedition was like using a good whetstone to sharpen himself, sharpening all the immature details of his swordsmanship, making his Non-Phase Sword more rounded. Sharpening his sword at any time, after all, would have some effect.
A day later, the Elders of Heavenly Sword Hall began to summon the Successor Disciples to the Stellar Peak. Wang Lu bid farewell to Aya and, with the latter's blessing, stepped on the transmission array and arrived at the Stellar Peak.
In front of the Sect Leader's bamboo room on the Stellar Peak, Liu Li had already arrived ahead of time. She was leaning against a few bamboos, holding a bag of nuts and tasting them. However, when she saw Wang Lu, she threw away the nuts, cheerfully jumped over, hugged Wang Lu, and said with a silly smile, "Master told me to listen to you."
"Oh? Then, let's shake hands. "
"Oh!"
"Sit down."
"Oh!"
"Stand up."
"Oh!"
Wang Lu touched Liu Li's head and was about to praise her when he suddenly found out that not far away, several pairs of sharp sword-like eyes were firmly locked on him.
Second Elder Liu Xian, Third Elder Fang He, Fourth Elder Zhou Ming … Almost all the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders were gathered here, coldly watching his pet teasing behavior.
Wang Lu coughed and tried to explain, "Just now, we prepared to perform a skit for everyone at the annual meeting. It's called … Ximen Qing Skillfully Plays Snoopy, please correct me."
"Humph!" Zhou Ming coldly humphed and turned his head away. Most of the other Elders were also indifferent. Only his Master fiercely gave him a thumbs up and secretly said through primordial spirit, "Brat, good job, Brilliant Peak is very rich! You have to stabilize this money tree for me! "
Stabilize your grandpa …
"Wang Lu."
While he was feeling awkward, the Sect Leader faintly opened his mouth.
"Yes!"
"This time, you will lead the team to the Ancient Sword Tomb. You are born smart, and you have experienced a lot of things in the past ten years. I don't need to say anything unnecessary, but I still want to emphasize that you are the lead disciple of the sect. This is not only a right, but also an obligation."
Wang Lu sternly said, "I understand. I will certainly take good care of Junior Sister Liu Li and Senior Sister Shiyao! I will not disappoint other people's trust in me! "
Feng Yin shook his head. "It's good to have such determination, but there's still one thing wrong. Yao 'Er will not be in the same team as you. She will be alone."
Wang Lu was taken aback. His eyes turned to the bamboo room. A tall woman quietly stood in the shadow of the bamboo room's corner. She was aloof from the world, but her arrogant posture was also undeniable.
"Interesting, does she look down on us, a group of burdens?" Wang Lu smiled. "Then let's wait and see. Let's see who is better, this God of Hoodlums or me, this professional adventurer."
Feng Yin also said, "But in addition to Liu Li, you still have other team members to take care of … Shixuan, come."
"Yes."
Along with the soft voice of a woman, the air on the Stellar Peak suddenly became a bit more refreshing. A white figure slowly walked out from the bamboo forest. With a faint smile, Bai Shixuan walked to the front of the bamboo room, nodded to the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders one by one, and then smiled at Wang Lu.
"Senior Brother … Wang Lu, long time no see."
Wang Lu suddenly understood. "Indeed long time no see. In a blink of an eye, you seem to have grown up."
More than a month ago, Bai Shixuan was brought back to the Clear Sky Peak by the Seventh Elder for closed-door training. Now that they met again, Bai Shixuan still maintained her slightly immature and childish appearance, but her expression was calm and composed. She was no longer the simple immortal beast that could be deceived by a bone.
Wang Lu sighed with emotion. Bai Shixuan and Liu Li were, after all, different. In this more than a month at the Clear Sky Peak, Bai Shixuan's harvest was obviously not only the healing of her internal injuries, but she also learned a lot of common sense from Uncle Guanhai. Now, Bai Shixuan was still pure and natural, but she appeared to be a lot more mature. Only, deep in her eyes, there was still a trace of affection that could only be opened to him...
"Shixuan is an immortal beast with innate magical ability. With her help, I believe we can be like a tiger that has grown wings."
With that, the Sect Leader flipped his palm, and the Stellar Peak suddenly glowed with starlight.
"Since everyone is here, no need to waste time. You guys go ahead."
According to the agreement between Lingjian School, Kunlun Sect, and Ten Thousand Arts Sect, in order to keep it a secret, when the time came, the three sects would each open the transmission portal to the treasure room of the Sword Tomb and then converge inside the Sword Tomb.
Among them, at the end of the experiential learning, the disciples of Kunlun Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect had left a transmission mark in the treasure room. Although Zhu Shiyao didn't remember to leave the mark, the Mysterious Underworld Ancient Sword in her hand could directly resonate with the Sword Tomb. In this way, they could avoid the eyes and ears of other sects.
Under the instruction of the Sect Leader, Zhu Shiyao, Wang Lu, Liu Li, Bai Shixuan … the four people representing Lingjian School stepped into the sea of starlight, feeling the turbulence of space, ready to meet the new test.
Feng Yin controlled the array, tearing the space with his Deity Stage cultivation base, and his magical power pierced through the void, going straight to the unnamed space where the Sword Tomb was located.
On the Stellar Peak, the Reward Giver Elder couldn't help but give his last exhortation, "In this trip, our Lingjian School has the least number of people, but you must show the style of Lingjian School, neither servile nor overbearing … Of course, the three sects still focus on cooperation. Don't be too confrontational, so as to spoil the important matter. In short …"
The nagging voice hasn't stopped yet. Along with Feng Yin Daoist Master's command, the scenery in front of Wang Lu and the others suddenly distorted, and in the blink of an eye, everything turned gray.
According to the plan, after the transmission was launched, they would stop at the treasure room of the Ancient Sword Tomb. There, Wang Lu and the others would meet up with the people of Kunlun Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect to dig deeper secrets of the Sword Tomb.
It was just that … Wang Lu frowned, inwardly puzzled.
Previously, no one said that there were so many people from Kunlun Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect, right?
Looking at the huge team of more than thirty people, as well as the fluctuation of magical power that was very different from that of Kunlun Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect, Wang Lu's heart slightly sank. The trip to the Sword Tomb had just begun, but the situation seemed to have developed in an uncontrollable direction.
