This person's Dharma treasure is quite powerful … "
Xuan Qing watched as Gao Zhengyang returned to the pleasure boat and said to her senior, Xuan Ye, "It looks a bit like the style of the Blazing Sun Sect."
As a cultivator of the Heart Sword Sect, Xuan Qing traveled around all year round and had some understanding of the various sects in this state.
Of course, it was just a superficial understanding. All the sects kept a respectful distance from each other. The land was vast enough, and there were as many gods and devils as there were hairs on a cow. Most of the sects could coexist peacefully.
The Heartsword Sect was far away in the East Sea. Yan City was already at the border of their sphere of influence. As for the Blazing Sun Sect, although Xuan Qing had been there before, she didn't know much.
Xuan Ye squinted his old eyes and sipped his wine, as if he had not heard Xuan Qing's words at all.
Xuan Qing was already used to her senior brother's mischievous behavior. He said, "Senior Martial Brother, this year's disciple selection is taking place. You should follow me back to the sect."
"Yan City is not bad. Why would I go back?" Xuan Ye said lazily. Perhaps it was because he had drunk too much, his words were a little slurred.
"Mortal lands have turbid Origin Energy. It's not good for cultivation." Xuan Qing said, "You've been here for twenty years. You've been on duty for too long. It's good to retire."
"You're wrong. It's better to retire in the secular world."
Xuanye smiled and said, "With wine and color, wealth and Qi, in this world of mortals, only then do I feel that I am a living person. When he returned to the sect, he was no different from a piece of wood or a rock. "
"This is different."
Xuan Qing retorted, "Shixiong, you are a Ninth Stage Martial Brother. If you go one step further and form a Jindan, you will transcend the mortal world and enter the divine realm. At that time, your lifespan will be extended to five thousand years. How carefree and happy will that be? "
"Transcending mortality and entering sainthood, one in ten thousand."
Xuan Ye said slowly, "I have long given up on this obsession, which is why my life is so easy."
Xuan Qing still wanted to say more, but she was stopped by Xuanye. "There are three thousand great Daos. Even if I temper myself in the mortal world, it might not be impossible for me to attain Dao. Persistence is the pursuit of Dao, and open-mindedness is also the pursuit of Dao. "
"Senior Brother, you're quite open-minded."
Xuan Qing shook her head and didn't dare to agree with what Xuan Ye said. Cultivating the Dao was like practicing martial arts. You reap what you sow. Only experts at the Jindan Stage and above could say that they were cultivating while lying down, that they were training in the mortal world, and so on.
For low-level cultivators, there were no shortcuts in cultivation. They could only lower their heads and work hard, moving forward along the long road without stopping. Only then could they reach the end.
If he rested by the roadside, he would never have the chance to see the scenery of the finish line.
Xuan Qing also knew about the knot in Xuanye's heart. Now that his old rival was in the limelight, he would definitely not be happy when he returned to the Sect. Since he was willing to stay here, then let him be.
Anyway, the lifespan of a Tier 9 powerhouse was very long. With Xuan Ye's condition and the support of the sect's medicinal pills, living for another one to two hundred years was not a problem.
Xuan Qing changed the topic, "Shixiong, do you think that person will participate in the Sword Conference? If he wants to join a sect, he's a good seedling. "
"Aren't you afraid that he is a spy from the Blazing Sun Sect?"
Xuanye did not really care much about the sect's selection of disciples, but she had to remind her junior brother, in case he made a mistake. It would be hard to explain this to them when they returned.
Xuan Qing said indifferently, "Although this person is a Yang Spirit cultivator, his aura is pure. There is no trace of the sect's secret method. His method of controlling the fire dragon, even though it is exquisite, is completely different from the other sects. "
He paused and judged, "If I'm not wrong, he should also be skilled in the martial path. He should be a Tier 7 warrior. Only then can he incorporate his martial skills into his artifacts and circulate them exquisitely. "
"This kid is clearly very good at fighting, but pretends to be a mage. He's very cunning."
Xuanye evaluated.
"Isn't this good?" Xuan Qing asked in response.
"This is very good."
Xuanye suddenly stroked his white beard and laughed, "We cultivators, first cultivate the heart when we cultivate the dao. If we can't even beat our own kind, how can we talk about fighting against the heavens and the earth … "
Xuan Qing laughed, "Shixiong really is an interesting person."
"You don't roll around in the mortal world for nothing."
Xuanye said calmly, "They all say that the human heart is hard to fathom. Actually, what's hard to fathom? It's just that you benefit yourself and others. If you can't guess these two things, it only means that you are stupid. "
"Shixiong is wise." Xuan Qing raised his hands, feeling great admiration towards Xuanye's words.
"We don't need to boast amongst ourselves."
Xuanye waved his hand and said, "Since Shidi is interested in that person, I'll go take a look tomorrow. If he's willing, I'll take him in as an honorary disciple. "
"Isn't this against the rules?"
Xuan Qing said, "Yan City Sword Gathering is a procedure to recruit disciples. Without this procedure, there is no way to rank him."
According to the rules of Heart Sword Sect, all the newly accepted outer sect disciples had to be ranked. Yan City was the central city nearby, the ranking of Yan City Sword Gathering was recognized by the sect.
This kind of ranking was useless, but it was also useless. Because the ranking did not affect cultivation and learning. However, the resources were distributed according to the ranking.
The first had the best resources, the last had the worst. This kind of difference was not small. After a period of cultivation, if everyone's talent was about the same, then the first with the best resources would always have the advantage.
Since Xuan Qing thought highly of Gao Zhengyang, of course he hoped that he could walk further in the sect. This way, as the introducer, he could also enjoy the benefits.
If he didn't participate in Yan City Sword Gathering and was directly accepted, then there would be a big problem for Gao Zhengyang. He wouldn't have a ranking. After entering the sect, it would be hard for him to obtain good resources.
If he wanted to stand out, he would have to endure at least three years. He would only have a chance to prove himself during the outer sect disciple competition.
Xuan Ye said indifferently, "If you accept him into the sect in advance, it won't affect his participation in Yan City Sword Gathering. I feel that this person is so handsome that the Iron Armor Sect and the other sects won't let him go... "
"Senior Brother is so experienced. I'm still lacking."
Xuan Qing was delighted. This was indeed a good idea.
Everyone knew that it was hard to enter a sect, but they didn't know that it was also hard to find an outstanding disciple. Especially cultivation geniuses, the sects wouldn't let go of them.
For example, Gao Zhengyang was young, but he was already at the seventh rank in both martial arts and Dharma spells. He could also be called a genius.
Although his background was a bit suspicious, it was nothing. Heart Sword Sect had a Heart Sword Oath. As long as one made the oath, they definitely couldn't betray the Heart Sword Sect.
A few thousand years ago, there was a Demon Sect genius who wanted to sneak into the Heart Sword Sect. In the end, when he made the Heart Sword Oath, he was killed by the Heart Sword. People could lie to others, and they could lie to themselves, but they couldn't lie to their own soul.
The Heart Sword Sect never feared spies. No matter where you came from, as long as you made the oath, you could only join the Heart Sword Sect. There was no other way out.
Xuan Qing said, "A long night is fraught with trouble. This battle will probably alarm the other sects. I'll go find that person first and make things clear. "
Xuan Ye said, "I can ask about that person's background first."
Xuan Ye had stayed in Yan City for decades. Although she didn't like to make friends with useless people, she still knew many important people. It was very easy to find out about Gao Zhengyang's situation.
Taking out a yellow paper crane, Xuan Ye waved her horsetail whisk. The paper crane flapped its wings, turning into a green light and flying into the sky.
After a while, the paper crane flew back and landed in front of Xuan Ye, turning into a letter.
Xuan Ye glanced at the contents and said to Xuan Qing, "This person is called Gao Zhengyang. I don't know where he is from."
"It doesn't matter."
Xuan Qing looked at the address written on it. She waved her sleeves, turning into a green sword light and soaring into the sky. The sword light turned in the air and landed in the courtyard where Gao Zhengyang lived.
Gao Zhengyang came back from drinking and was washing up and changing clothes in the room. Sensing the agile sword qi, he couldn't help but be moved. This sword qi was very profound. It was faintly discernible. There was also a kind of freedom of using the heart to control the sword.
Although he hadn't seen the person, Gao Zhengyang was almost sure that the other party was from the Heart Sword Sect.
Gao Zhengyang was also a little strange. He hadn't gone to find the Heart Sword Sect, but the other party took the initiative to find him? What did this mean?
However, there was no killing intent or malice in the sword qi. It wasn't coming to settle the score with him.
The other party was clearly a rank nine expert. With the power on hand, Gao Zhengyang had almost no chance of winning if he fought with such an expert. Therefore, Gao Zhengyang had always been very low-key.
Gao Zhengyang put on his clothes and walked out with a horsetail whisk. He saw a Daoist in green standing in the courtyard.
The Daoist was carrying a sword on his back. He had a straight face and a layer of faint green air rippled around him. He had quite a bearing.
Gao Zhengyang cupped his hands. "I don't know which expert is coming. Please forgive me for not going out to welcome you."
The Daoist was Xuan Qing. He smiled slightly. Gao Zhengyang was young, but he had a Jianghu aura. However, this person didn't seem to be cunning and hateful. He was just more understanding.
Xuan Qing cupped his hands and said, "I'm Xuan Qing from the Heart Sword Sect. Please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit you."
"Expert from the Heart Sword Sect, please come in." Of course, Gao Zhengyang was very welcoming. As the saying went, one could wear out iron shoes in fruitless search, only to find it without looking for it.
Since the other party had taken the initiative to come to him, what more could he ask for?
After entering the room, they sat down according to the host and the guest. Bai Ling came over to serve tea obediently.
However, when Xuan Qing glanced at her, Bai Ling felt guilty. She always felt that her true colors had been exposed and the old Daoist had seen through her.
Bai Ling stood behind Gao Zhengyang. Her legs were trembling uncontrollably.
Gao Zhengyang said with some amusement, "What are you afraid of? The Daoist is an otherworldly expert. What can he do to a little vixen like you?"
Bai Ling's face became even uglier. Before the old Daoist asked, Gao Zhengyang had already told her everything about herself.
Xuan Qing also found it a little funny. "The White Fox Clan is born with intelligence, which is quite rare in this world. I've seen records in the sect. Thousands of years ago, there was a senior in the sect who raised a White Fox and was quite skilled. "
Gao Zhengyang was even happier when he heard that. The old Daoist knew this secret, so his identity was confirmed without a doubt.
He took the opportunity to say, "To tell you the truth, this little fox is the descendant of the White Fox in your sect."
Xuan Qing looked at Gao Zhengyang and thought to himself, "Isn't this person a little too smart? He followed the conversation and climbed up." There was nothing to be afraid of being smart, but this kind of acting smart was actually terrible.
"I'm definitely not talking nonsense."
Gao Zhengyang took out the sect token and handed it to Xuan Qing. "Daoist, please take a look."
Xuan Qing was also a little surprised. He took the token and looked at it. It was indeed the token passed down in the sect.
The token was actually the personal belonging of the senior in the sect. It was an identity token. There was even the Heart Sword Sect's runes on it. The senior's name was Yuan Guang.
Yuan Guang was very famous in the sect's records. Although this senior was only a Golden Core cultivator, he was good at fighting and made a name for himself in the past.
However, it was also because Yuan Guang liked fighting that he was seriously injured in the battle and passed away early.
Xuan Qing weighed the token and pondered for a while. "Since you have a relationship with our sect, I might as well be frank. You can enter the sect directly with this token and become an inner sect disciple. "
Gao Zhengyang said, "I don't belong to any sect, but I'm wholeheartedly pursuing Dao. I can't ask for more than this opportunity. "
Xuan Qing smiled bitterly. "I originally wanted to accept you into the sect, but I didn't expect you to have this token."
"Is there anything difficult?" Gao Zhengyang asked.
"Alright, I'll be straightforward."
Xuan Qing had a good impression of Gao Zhengyang. Moreover, Gao Zhengyang would naturally know about such a thing after entering the sect. If he hid it from him now, there would be trouble in the future.
"This token is Senior Yuan Guang's inheritance. If you take this token, you can be considered Senior Yuan Guang's disciple. That way, you can directly enter the inner sect. Furthermore, you will have the same seniority as me. "
Xuan Qing explained, "Of course, that's a good thing. However, there is no one left in the Ultimate Sword Peak where Senior Yuan Guang is. Now, there are only two elders who can barely support him. The inheritance is about to be severed … "
The Ultimate Sword Peak was one of the seventeen peaks of the Heart Sword Sect. The Ultimate Sword Peak liked to use battle to nurture swords. They claimed that swords were used for battle.
This kind of extreme thinking also made the disciples of the Ultimate Sword Peak exceptionally aggressive. In the end, there were fewer and fewer experts in the Ultimate Sword Peak.
The sect also had many opinions about the Ultimate Sword Peak. They felt that the cultivation method was too extreme and was not beneficial to the sect. Without the support of the sect, the Ultimate Sword Peak declined.
Now, although it was still one of the seventeen peaks, no one could stand up to support it. In a few hundred years, the inheritance of this peak would be severed.
Gao Zhengyang entered the Ultimate Sword Peak and directly became a disciple of the Xuan generation. Of course, his starting point was especially high. He was a hundred times stronger than the other outer sect disciples.
However, this starting point was equivalent to the end point.
Without the support of the sect, it would be difficult for Gao Zhengyang to obtain enough cultivation resources. He was very talented, but he could not rely on his own strength to revive the Ultimate Sword Peak.
Xuan Qing felt that Gao Zhengyang might as well choose to become an outer sect disciple and cultivate step by step. His future was limitless.
Of course, he could not make decisions for Gao Zhengyang. He had to explain the pros and cons to Gao Zhengyang and let him choose for himself.
However, the matter of the Ultimate Sword Peak was related to the struggle of the upper echelons of the sect, so it was not convenient to tell Gao Zhengyang more.
However, Gao Zhengyang was very happy. It turned out that there was such an option. Of course, he would not become an outer sect disciple. He only needed to cultivate the system and comprehend the laws of this world.
As for the resources, they were not particularly important to him. With the Blood God Flag in hand, it was better than all the pills in the world. It was enough to satisfy his own cultivation.
Forging swords wasn't that important.
Gao Zhengyang pretended to ponder for a while before saying, "Taoist priest, I am willing to inherit Senior Yuan Guang's inheritance and join the Ultimate Sword Peak."
Xuan Qing could not help but shake his head. He was a young man after all. He could not resist the temptation and chose to be Yuan Guang's successor. However, looking at Gao Zhengyang's appearance, he should have made up his mind. It was not appropriate for him to say anything more.
He could only cup his hands and congratulate him. "In that case, you are my junior brother. It is a happy event for the sect to have a genius like you join."
Xuan Qing added, "However, the sect is far away from Yan City. We can only return to the sect after the Yan City Sword Trials are over. Before that, please be patient, Junior Brother. "
"Thank you for your teachings, Senior Brother."
Gao Zhengyang cupped his hands in thanks. This senior brother of his was honest and easy to get along with. He was about to seize the opportunity to get close to him.
"Yan City is not a good place. Junior Brother, you have a grudge with someone, so you have to be careful."
Xuan Qing thought for a while and took out a half-foot-long green short sword. He handed it to Gao Zhengyang. "This is our sect's token. Take it out when you are in danger. The sect still has some prestige in Yan City. "
The Heart Sword Sect's token naturally could not be given to outsiders. However, Gao Zhengyang was going to inherit Yuan Guang's inheritance, so he was one of them. Xuan Qing naturally had to take care of his own people.
This was completely different from being an outer sect disciple. They could not be mentioned in the same breath.
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Gao Zhengyang picked up the short sword. As soon as he held it in his hand, he felt cool all over and vaguely released a cold Sword Qi.
"Looks like you have a lot of talent in swordsmanship."
Xuan Qing was a bit surprised. "Although this is a token, it's also a flying sword embryo. It's just a bit flawed, so I took it out as a token. If you are interested, you can try refining it too. "
He thought for a while and took out a book for Gao Zhengyang. "This is the entry-level Sword Kinesis Art. You can take a look. But don't practice it carelessly in case there is a Qi Deviation. Don't teach it to others, not even the little vixen. "
The Sword Kinesis Art was an entry-level Foundation Establishment secret art, so it was naturally neutral and peaceful. It was difficult to make a mistake. However, it was not good without guidance. Xuan Qing was also afraid that Gao Zhengyang would have a problem if there was a problem.
Gao Zhengyang naturally agreed. With his knowledge, it would be the biggest joke in the world if there was a Qi Deviation.
After sending Xuan Qing off, Gao Zhengyang returned to his room and saw Bai Ling waiting for him. Bai Ling's eyes lit up and she couldn't suppress her excitement. "It's settled?"
Gao Zhengyang waved the Sword Kinesis Art in his hand. "This old Daoist is an honest and reliable person. There won't be a problem."
Bai Ling was ecstatic. She grabbed Gao Zhengyang's sleeve and shook it vigorously. "It's settled? That's great! My ancestors must be protecting you … "
"Yes, thank you eighteen generations of ancestors." Gao Zhengyang expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Bai Ling felt something was wrong no matter how she listened. She tilted her head and said, "Why do I feel like you're not saying anything good …"
"You're thinking too much." Gao Zhengyang smiled evilly.
Bai Ling knew she was tricked. She glared at Gao Zhengyang and said, "Since I've already entered the sect, I don't need to participate in the Swallow City Sword Trials."
"That's true."
Gao Zhengyang thought for a while. "However, even if we don't cause trouble, trouble will come to us."
It would be great to kill Xu Zheng, but the other party probably wouldn't take it lying down. They didn't dare to touch Yan Yu, but they wouldn't be polite to an outsider like him.
Bai Ling nodded. "That's right. Those idiots from Yan City only know how to kill. Why don't we leave and hide for now? "
Bai Ling felt that there was no need to fight with the people from Yan City. Their legs were on them anyway, so they could go wherever they wanted.
Gao Zhengyang shook his head. "There's no need for that. Just get a piece of cloth and write some words on it."
"Write what?" Bai Ling asked curiously.
"The next disciple of the Heartsword Sect. You can't afford to mess with him!" Gao Zhengyang said proudly.
