The return of the Seventh Elder didn't cause any surprise in the sect.
For most of the Spirit Sword Sect's disciples, the Elders going out to wander was nothing new. As an ancient sect, the Lingjian School had always advocated traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books. Not only did they encourage the disciples to go out for experiential learning, they also had the same requirement for the Elders. As long as there was an opportunity, they might as well go out to wander.
In any case, in a sect that was properly managed, it wouldn't be as if it couldn't operate without someone. On the other hand, having someone more wouldn't make people feel uncomfortable. The addition of the Seventh Elder in the sect didn't have much of an impact on the daily cultivation and lives of the others.
In fact, for the common people, the Seventh Elder of the Lingjian School was a mysterious person. He didn't have a Successor Disciple, and he rarely went to the Teng Cloud Hall to teach. Almost half of his time was spent wandering outside, and the other half was spent in the Clear Sky Peak looking after the spirit flowers and spirit beasts. Occasionally, he would appear in front of people's eyes, but he was wearing a hooded robe, which tightly covered his face … Even some of the Senior Brothers who had been in the sect for more than thirty years had never seen his true face.
"Among the ten great Elders of the sect, the Seventh Elder and the Tenth Elder are the most mysterious." This was the consensus of the sect.
Among them, the Tenth Elder was rumored to have a big heartache when he was young, so he permanently lived in seclusion in the Hidden Sword Peak. Even the Sect Leader rarely had the opportunity to meet him. The Seventh Elder looked after the Clear Sky Peak, but his true face was hidden in his hood, which made him look mysterious. Some people speculated that he was born with a cold and unsociable personality, and some people speculated that he was disfigured when he was young. There were many different theories. As for his identity as a Kunlun slave, except for a few people, no one knew about it.
However, those who had truly come into contact with the Seventh Elder would discover that this Outsider Clan Elder's character was extremely warm and cheerful, even naive and unaffected. His greatest characteristic was undoubtedly his generosity and kindness. If one was to be treated as a friend by him, it would be an extremely fortunate thing.
Now, the one who enjoyed this blessing was the Non-Phase Peak's Wang Lu.
After Elder Guanhai returned to the mountain, he routinely went back and forth to Non-Phase Peak every day. His purpose was very clear — to wait for Fifth Sister to come back, to give her a big surprise, a warm hug, and of course, a lot of greeting gifts.
Such sincerity was praiseworthy and lamentable. However, this Elder's enthusiasm and persistence, as if he had come to collect a debt, made Wang Lu unable to bear it. This was because this Black Uncle would come very early every time. As soon as the rooster crowed, he would knock on the door on time. He was even more punctual than Zhou Bapi, forcing Wang Lu to sleep early and wake up early every day.
He had originally planned to give himself a long vacation and sleep every day until the sunset. He would live a degenerate life!
Because, recently, there was really nothing else to do. In terms of cultivation, after reaching the eighth layer of the Sword Bone, before obtaining the ninth layer of the Sword Bone, Wang Lu basically had no other way to practice. He could only meditate daily, and then absorb the spiritual energy through the Sword Bone's filtration to accumulate the golden liquid.
As for martial arts, the Lady Boss said that there was no method that was particularly suitable for him to teach. The Winding Steps and Soft Cloud Sword were already the best choices for the transition period … Although it was not that he couldn't learn a few more high-level martial arts, when Wang Wu came back and taught him the Non-Phase Sword Art, these martial arts would soon be covered, and learning them would be a waste.
As for experiential learning, it was even more meaningless. The experiential learning challenge of the Small Clear Sky Peak has been certified by the Heavenly Sword Hall. After obtaining nearly 3000 challenge points, the remaining value of the Small Clear Sky Peak was almost squeezed dry. As for the elixirs in the Azure Dragon Gorge …
Last time, little Ling 'Er and Wen Bao did not disappoint him by picking the Red Refined Fruit. As a result, when they came to the Non-Phase Peak to present the treasure, the victim, Ao Guanhai, was also there!
It was reasonable to say that when Wang Lu brought little Ling 'Er, this cheating existence, to the Clear Sky Peak, it was against the sect's rules — especially when he tricked a public official to issue a permit.
But naturally, the collection of the Red Refined Fruit could not be said to be justified. But when Ao Guanhai, the victim, saw the Red Refined Fruit, he laughed and, without demur, took out the alchemy furnace on the spot, prepared his own auxiliary materials, and refined a box of third rank elixirs on the spot for Wang Lu.
But Martial Uncle Guanhai treated you like this, do you have the nerve to go to the Clear Sky Peak to plunder? Do you have the nerve!?
Wang Lu asked himself, even if his conscience had been polluted by his Master's harmful breath for more than two years, but … he still couldn't do it.
Therefore, there was neither a cultivation method to cultivate nor a place to gain experience. In addition to continuing to be a top student in the Teng Cloud Hall, he could only wait for his Master to come back. In this regard, Wang Lu himself was helpless, but Martial Uncle Guanhai was simply distressed.
"Little Wang Lu, although your aptitude is amazing and your perception is superb, cultivating to become an immortal requires great perseverance. How can you be like this?"
While reading the popular novel imported from the Spirit Creek Town at the foot of the mountain, Wang Lu very suspiciously looked at Uncle Black who was cooking in the kitchen. He inwardly said, "Every day you waste your precious morning at the Non-Phase Peak to accompany me as my husband, is that the embodiment of great perseverance?"
After a while, Martial Uncle Guanhai brought out four dishes and a soup and put them on the table. He then found three sets of chopsticks, one for himself, one for Wang Lu, and one … for Fifth Martial Sister. Moreover, according to Wang Lu's request, a black and white portrait was placed next to the chopsticks, which meant that Fifth Martial Sister was with them.
While eating lunch, Martial Uncle Guanhai eagerly asked, "Little Wang Lu, do you have any difficulties in cultivation recently?"
"Yes." Wang Lu put down his chopsticks and seriously said, "My Master is too stupid, I beg for a refund."
Even the optimistic and cheerful black uncle was choked by this sentence and rolled his eyes. "… Other than that?"
"Other than that, I have nothing to do …"
After briefly explaining his own pain in the ass situation, Martial Uncle Guanhai heaved a long sigh. "I can't believe that at such a young age, you can actually cultivate your body to such a level that you can resist Little Thunder's lightning strike with your bare hands. And Senior Sister's new version of Non-Phase Sword Bone is even more marvelous, the eighth layer is equivalent to the previous fifteenth layer … Little Wang Lu, you are actually cultivating the Foundation Building Realm's Body Refining Technique, moreover, it's the top Foundation Building Realm's Body Refining Technique! "
Wang Lu blinked his eyes, trying to show a bit of gratitude, but he soon failed. "No matter how top the Body Refining Technique, if there's no follow-up, it would be reduced to a eunuch, there's nothing praiseworthy about it."
Hearing this, Uncle Black also frowned. "Indeed, once Senior Sister leaves the mountain, I don't know how long it will take for her to come back. It's a good thing that your cultivation progress is faster than she expected, but don't delay it because of this … How about this, if you don't mind, I can help you take a look."
Wang Lu was suspicious. "Look? How? "
Uncle Black very innocently blinked his eyes. "Of course, look inside you."
"F * ck me, look inside me? Sure enough, Uncle Black's nature hasn't changed! Dream on! No, don't even dream about me, just dream about my Master. She is a perfect match for you! "
Guanhai was even more innocent. "Why do I feel like you're thinking about something rude … I'm just using the Internal Inspection Technique to observe your Body Refining Technique. Of course, if you don't want to make it public, then forget it."
"Just Internal Inspection Technique …" Wang Lu nodded hesitantly and made a difficult decision in his life.
"Martial Uncle, please observe."
As a peak Yuanying Stage Elder, Ao Guanhai's Internal Inspection Technique was silent. His eyes had already seen Wang Lu's Inner Mansion. The more than two hundred golden Sword Bones made him frown slightly.
"What a pure Sword Bone Technique, worthy of being the cultivation genius favored by Senior Sister … Oh, the Non-Phase Emperor Bone in the sky? It turns out that Senior Sister's whimsical idea can finally be put into practice. That being the case, I think I can guess the next step. "
Wang Lu asked, "Are you going to use the golden liquid as the material to transform the Inner Mansion?"
"Oh, you guessed it wrong. Transforming the Inner Mansion is the next step. Now …" Martial Uncle Guanhai smiled and gave the answer, "Your task is to practice the real Non-Phase Sword Bone."
The real Non-Phase Sword Bone? Using this expression, did he want to say that what he was practicing now was a fake product?
"It's not a fake product, but little Wang Lu, I just want to ask you a simple question. For you, what characteristics should a sword have?"
Wang Lu said, "Sharpness, toughness, purity … About these?"
"Yes, then can the more than two hundred Sword Bones in your body have these characteristics?"
Wang Lu suddenly gawked. If this standard was used to measure the Sword Bones … Indeed, the more than two hundred Jade Pillars were indomitable and even pierced through the sky. It stood to reason that they should have sharpness, but after fusing with the outer wall, the tip had long been rounded, and the pillar was smooth and clean, so they had no affinity with the word sharpness. As for toughness … It should take into account both hardness and flexibility. There was no doubt about the hardness of this Non-Phase Sword Bone, but its ductility was very doubtful — who would choose a flexible pillar?
The last point of purity was even more problematic. This golden Jade Pillar seemed to be pure, but how could it allow foreign things to invade it? Right now, the Sword Bone, as a channel to communicate with the surrounding spiritual energy and the Inner Mansion, obviously had a hollow structure …
"So …"
Martial Uncle Guanhai said, "What you practice is just the first part of the Non-Phase Sword Bone: Scabbard."
What the hell, there's even a scabbard!?
"The real Non-Phase Sword Bone, even though it's still mainly focused on defense, it will have all the characteristics of a sword, sharpness, toughness, purity … It's not like this. Moreover, as long as you cultivate a section of the Sword Bone, your Body Training Stage will be greatly improved. Of course, on the other hand, the cultivation of each section of the Sword Bone will be quite difficult. This process is likely to continue until you reach the Xudan Stage. At least, it's impossible to cultivate more than two hundred Sword Bones in the Qi Refining Stage. It's not that easy."
Listening to Uncle Black's endless chatter, Wang Lu could not help but ask, "Martial Uncle, are you sure?"
Martial Uncle Guanhai thought for a moment. "Well, although I haven't exchanged cultivation experience with Senior Sister for several years, I know the design idea of her Non-Phase Sword Bone, at least it's not wrong. Therefore, I can also guess the next step of the Sword Bone cultivation method … How about this, you wait for me for two days, I'll prepare a medicine for you. With it, the next step of cultivation will be twice the result with half the effort. "
After saying that, Martial Uncle Guanhai left without staying for even a moment. And this time, he really left for two days. During this time, he didn't come to disturb his sleep. It was not until the morning of the third day that this foreign race Elder, with a pair of swollen red eyes, excitedly knocked on the door.
"Little Wang Lu, I've refined it!"
Wang Lu, who had stayed up all night reading novels, had just fallen asleep when he was startled and jumped up. However, when he opened the door and saw the elixir in his Martial Uncle's hand, all of his grievances disappeared.
A round and smooth crystal clear elixir was quietly lying in his Martial Uncle's palm, like an amber. However, it contained a surging medicinal efficacy, as well as a sharp sword intent. As a Void Spirit Root, Wang Lu could clearly feel it.
Even though he didn't have any attainments in alchemy, Wang Lu could still recognize the value of this elixir. Compared to his Seventh Martial Uncle's greeting gift, the Harmonious Cloud Pill, it was a real first grade elixir!
"Martial Uncle, this … is the medicine I need for the next step of cultivation?"
Guanhai nodded his head. "Yes, this is the Non-Phase Sword Pill that your Master and I jointly developed and designed sixty years ago. It was specially made for Sword Bone. In the past, every time Senior Sister refined a section of Sword Bone, she needed a Sword Pill to assist her. Those days were really difficult … Fortunately, now it's the twenty-third edition, the effect has been greatly improved. This pill's efficacy should be able to support you to refine five sections of Sword Bone, that is … until the Foundation Building stage. Unfortunately, I don't have all the herbs on hand, otherwise, I can refine a few more for you. I can help you smoothly cultivate all the way to the Xudan Stage. "
Guanhai's regretful sigh made Wang Lu shocked. This was a first grade elixir! Martial Uncle, you casually gave me a reward, but you actually feel guilty about it?! This kind of spiritual realm was simply like the legendary high-end player, Da Li!
Three days later, with the help of Martial Uncle Guanhai, Wang Lu began the real cultivation of the Non-Phase Sword Bone.
The Non-Phase Sword Bone, at least in the early stages, was not difficult to practice. The difficult part was the Fifth Elder's exquisite idea and creativity. Now that Ao Guanhai was in charge of the general direction, Wang Lu only needed to do the cultivation step by step, and the rest would come naturally.
According to Martial Uncle Guanhai, the choice of the first section of Sword Bone was open. Among the two hundred and six Sword Bones, one could choose any one. Of course, after the choice was made, it would determine the direction of development for a long time in the future. For example, if he chose the skull, then it should strengthen the cultivation of spells. If he chose the arm bone, then naturally, swordsmanship would be the priority …
After thinking about it, Wang Lu finally made a decision.
He would first practice the finger bone, because the flexibility of the finger was one of the key differences between humans and animals. And the so-called swordsmanship, in fact, the most exquisite changes came from the wrist and the finger.
Therefore, under the guidance of Martial Uncle Guanhai, Wang Lu successfully practiced the Non-Phase Sword Bone · Middle Finger.
The success of the middle finger Sword Bone was indeed like what Martial Uncle said, the impact was all-round. Not only the middle finger had countless wonderful uses, but the entire Inner Mansion's two hundred and six Sword Scabbard Bones were also sublimated because of the birth of the first Sword Bone.
The specific principle of this, Ao Guanhai was not very clear, but Wang Lu could guess one or two: It was very simple, the balance of Yin and Yang. Once he understood the relationship between the Sword Scabbard and the Sword Bone, then the Inner Mansion's empty Sword Scabbard was like a group of resentful women. Now, although the Sword Bone was only a section, it also made these Sword Scabbard more or less moisturized, and naturally, the effect would increase.
In order to celebrate this qualitative breakthrough, Wang Lu personally cooked a few dishes that day, such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, scrambled tomatoes with tomatoes, and scrambled eggs with eggs. He warmly hosted a banquet to entertain Martial Uncle Guanhai.
Fortunately, when Martial Uncle Guanhai attended the banquet that day, he was very conscious to bring a roasted chicken and a bottle of wine, so that the banquet would not be awkward. In his own words, "Because every time Senior Sister invited me to dinner, it was always shallot mixed with tofu, tofu mixed with shallot, shallot mixed with shallot, and tofu mixed with tofu."
Wang Lu looked at the red and yellow hot dishes on the table, and said in his heart, "Not bad, at least he has more conscience than Master."
The two of them ate and drank at the table. The wine that Elder Guanhai brought was brewed from immortal grass and immortal fruit, and its alcohol strength was amazing. Moreover, he did not suppress it with his cultivation base. Not long after, he and Wang Lu were both drunk.
Of course, the two of them were drunk but not drunk. Because of Elder Guanhai's cultivation base, his primordial spirit was strong, and Wang Lu had never let go of his vigilance against Uncle Hei, so how could he really get drunk?
But even so, the two of them gradually opened up to talk about sex on the table.
"Seventh Martial Uncle, forgive me for being rude, but … you have been too good to me during this period of time. You imparted your skills, protected me, and made pills for me. I am very scared!"
Martial Uncle Guanhai laughed, "Senior Sister's disciple is my disciple. Moreover, Senior Sister had specially reminded me to take good care of you in her letter, how could I not take good care of you? Haha."
"Sigh, Master was just saying it casually, Martial Uncle, you don't have to be so serious."
In the end, Guanhai became even more serious. He raised his head, as if he was reminiscing about the hundred years of cultivation.
"Senior Sister, she is someone who has helped me a lot! Without Senior Sister, there would be no today's Ao Guanhai … Speaking of which, my name was also given by Senior Sister. " Speaking to this, Martial Uncle Guanhai gave a silly smile. "To tell you the truth, when I was first sold as a slave from the Western Continent to the Nine Regions, it was the founders of the Lingjian School who saved me and gave me freedom. However, it was Fifth Senior Sister's words that gave me the opportunity to embark on the path of immortal cultivation. It was also her who made me throw away my previous name, Ao Baba, and changed it to Ao Guanhai … A hundred years later, my former companions who were liberated have already died, and only I have Yuanying Stage cultivation base. All of this is Senior Sister's credit, so how could I dare not obey her advice!"
At this point, Guanhai's dark face unexpectedly showed a trace of holiness and piety.
This immediately sobered up Wang Lu a little bit, thinking, "Adultery, this face definitely has adultery!
With Master's character, how could she possibly help others to embark on the immortal path and grant them a new life? Trampling on other people's life and worldview is her job, isn't it!? "
Out of this doubt, Wang Lu bluntly said, "Martial Uncle, excluding personal feelings and other factors, if you want to objectively evaluate my Master … What kind of person is she?"
"What kind of person is Fifth Senior Sister? Of course she's a good person! You're her disciple, so you should know her very well. "
"… I think we're probably not talking about the Fifth Elder of the same plane?"
After Wang Lu thought about it, this might be the only explanation: Wang Wu actually had a twin sister named Wang Lu, who was gentle and considerate, elegant and generous, and a hundred percent good person.
Regarding Wang Lu's inconceivable words, Ao Guanhai froze for a long time and then patted Wang Lu's shoulder with emotion.
"Some people and things can only be seen clearly after being in contact with them for a long time. Fifth Senior Sister is a maverick person, but her nature is not bad. "
Wang Lu naturally could only chuckle at this.
This Black Elder was a kind person, and in the eyes of a kind person, there were only kind things, which was not unusual. But the judgment of a normal person was obviously not so kind.
Regarding Wang Lu's incomprehension, Ao Guanhai didn't mind, "One day you will understand."
Yes, probably only after a long time will you understand …
