The disciples of Qianduan Peak quickly helped Zhong Xuan up and applied medicine on him. Then, they lifted him up and left in a hurry, as though they were fleeing for their lives.
At this moment, three more warships flew over from the horizon. The banners on the bows had the words "Liu", "Yue", and "Feng" written on them.
"The people from Wanren Peak, Beichen Peak, and Gangyu Peak are here. What a coincidence. The true inheritors of these three peaks are also pursuing Leng Liusu. I wonder how they will react," someone below said with a smile.
Damn, I almost have a personal guard already. Xiao Chen felt a headache coming on. He finally understood the saying of Confucius, "Women should not be offended." He could not bear it.
"How many pursuers does this woman have? I wonder if there is no end."
When Liu Ruyue saw Xiao Chen's frustrated expression, she smiled gently and said, "If you were the Young Pavilion Master of Heavenly Saber Pavilion, these men might come and pursue you."
Xiao Chen's face darkened. He said, "This joke is not funny. Speaking of which, Elder Sister Ruyue, a natural beauty like you, do you not have many pursuers? If there are, they can help me block them. "
Liu Ruyue's pretty face did not show any expression. She said casually, "If I had such a brainless pursuer, I would just kill him with my saber. I would not be able to afford to lose face."
The three warships slowly landed. Someone immediately told them what happened earlier. The true inheritors of the three peaks glanced at Xiao Chen. In the end, they feared Liu Ruyue and did not come over.
After a while, the cultivators from the foot of the mountain rushed to the platform. The huge platform was quickly filled with people. It looked like the teachings of a Martial Monarch had a fatal attraction to cultivators.
When Liu Suifeng and the others saw Xiao Chen, they quickly went over. However, Liu Suifeng only greeted Xiao Chen before he rushed over to where the Jade Maiden Peak disciples were.
Liu Ruyue snorted coldly, "Useless!"
"Bo!" Just at this moment, an intense spatial fluctuation appeared in the surroundings. Ripples could be seen spreading out in the air. This was a sign that a Martial Monarch was coming.
When a cultivator reached the realm of Martial Monarch, they would have a basic grasp of the laws of space. Traveling a thousand kilometers in an instant was not a difficult task for them.
They would be able to evolve their own laws and become a Martial Sage in one step, possessing a lifespan of a thousand years. However, in the past thousand years, there had been very few Martial Sages in the Great Qin Nation.
Suddenly, the ripples moved quickly and a tiny spatial crack appeared on the high platform of the Heaven Ascending Platform. An old man's figure appeared out of nowhere.
The old man's face was covered in wrinkles, and his body was very lethargic. However, his eyes were as bright as the stars, deep and distant, as if they contained a boundless universe.
A powerful aura instantly spread throughout the entire mountain peak. Everyone felt a huge pressure, and the noisy Heaven Ascending Platform instantly fell silent.
Xiao Chen looked at the cultivator on the platform and felt astonished. This was probably the strength of a peak Martial Monarch. He was just one step away from becoming a Martial Sage. That was if the old man could last that long.
"I have not come out for a long time. I do not know if I will have the chance to in the future. I will not speak too much nonsense. I will only speak about my past experiences. However, everyone has their own style. Do not blindly follow others. You have to consider your own situation and not bite off more than you can chew. "
The old man's somewhat hoarse voice reached everyone's ears. It was not loud, but it seemed to imprint itself in their minds, making it impossible to forget.
"When I was young, I harbored a dream. I brought my beloved saber to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. I wanted to become the strongest bladesman in the world. I wanted to learn the unblockable Saber Techniques, the fastest Saber Techniques in the world …
"When I grew old, I realized how laughable I was back then. There was the saying, biting off more than you can chew, wanting to reach the heavens in one step. This was the principle. By the time I understood, I had already wasted several decades …
"Everyone thinks that the saber is tyrannical and ferocious. However, they do not know that every saber has its own emotions. It can be gentle like water, free and unrestrained, or direct. Every bladesman has their own personality …
"I remember that in the past, I met a few demonic geniuses. The saber that accompanied me for many years broke on the spot. I switched to a few sabers and trained bitterly for many years, but I was still no match for those geniuses …
"Some people are blessed by the heavens. Everyone will meet such geniuses. No matter what, you can change your saber, but the heart of the bladesman cannot be shaken …"
This old man spoke very slowly. The content of his speech was very different from what Xiao Chen expected. Xiao Chen originally thought that the old man would be talking about a powerful Martial Technique. Who knew, he only talked about some of the old man's comprehensions and experiences?
The old man's tone was extremely calm. He did not cite any classics or make up a long story. The old man only spoke about the problems he faced in every cultivation realm back then.
The old man's ordinary experiences, coupled with his ordinary speaking speed, were very calm.
However, everyone present had some sort of comprehension. This was because the experiences the old man spoke about were experienced by all the cultivators of different cultivation realms. Many of the problems they had were answered by the old man's words.
When the old man spoke about the problems and setbacks he faced when he was a Martial Grand Master, Xiao Chen listened very carefully. After that, he combined it with his current situation. Many of the problems he faced were suddenly cleared up.
After that, when the old man spoke about the Martial Saint realm, it was like a beacon for Xiao Chen. This way, he would be able to avoid many detours.
Not only did the old man talk about his experiences, he also talked about some of his unique understandings of Saber Techniques. Every understanding he had would be combined with his own experiences, using practical examples to illustrate.
It did not make anyone feel empty. Everyone present could easily understand it. Xiao Chen could not help but admire the old man. This was what a true grandmaster was.
He was not pretentious, not pretentious, not talking about big but empty things, not deliberately mystifying things. This was because even if he said it, no one would understand it. It would only confuse the people listening.
"A person's talent determines how fast they can go. As for a person's perseverance, it determines how far they can go. One cannot give up on oneself because of talent, belittling oneself. Perseverance is the most important thing. "
After saying this, the old man silently left. His voice was still echoing in everyone's ears, so no one noticed the old man's departure.
After a long time, everyone came to their senses. Only then did they realize that the old man had already left for a long time. The stone platform returned to its bustling state. Cultivators walked in groups of twos and threes, heading down the mountain and discussing their earlier experiences.
Shao Yang said somewhat excitedly, "As long as I have perseverance, I will become a Martial Monarch one day."
Earlier, the old man talked about how he once met a strong cultivator who cultivated the physical body. That cultivator was as strong as a Martial Monarch and was extremely strong. Hence, Shao Yang was very encouraged.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not say anything. He agreed with the old man's last sentence. No matter how talented one was, without perseverance, one would not be able to go far on the path of cultivation.
Liu Ruyue looked into the distance at Liu Suifeng, who was smiling as he followed Chu Xinyun. She shook her head and said, "Shao Yang and Xiao Meng, don't go to pick the Ice Crystal Flowers today. Leave it to Ye Chen and Suifeng.
"I already spoke to Suifeng this morning. You just have to wait for him."
Shao Yang shook his head and said, "Elder Sister Ruyue, I feel a fire burning in my heart. Let me go!"
"Burning your head!" Liu Ruyue used the scabbard and knocked heavily on the stout Shao Yang, "Do you really think that you are an expert after listening to a few words? Calm down first."
Shao Yang felt the pain and immediately shut up. He did not say anything else about his blood burning. He followed Liu Ruyue to the bottom of the mountain. Xiao Chen did not leave. He stood where he was and waited for Liu Suifeng.
After a while, Liu Suifeng walked over to Xiao Chen. What made Xiao Chen surprised was that the top beauty of Jade Maiden Peak, Chu Xinyun, also followed.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, What is this? This brat Liu Suifeng is too reckless. He is going out to do proper business, but he still brings a girl with him.
Liu Suifeng quickly walked over. His handsome face was filled with smiles as he introduced her to Xiao Chen, "This is Miss Xinyun from Jade Maiden Peak. This time, she is going to Evil Wind Valley with us."
"Hello, I am Chu Xinyun. Suifeng mentioned you to me before." Chu Xinyun smiled faintly and took the initiative to greet Xiao Chen.
When Xiao Chen stood so close to Chu Xinyun, that kind of unforgettable beauty nearly suffocated him. However, Xiao Chen had seen many beauties. He was somewhat immune to them.
His expression did not change as he smiled gently, "I wonder why Miss Chu is going to Evil Wind Valley with us?"
Before Chu Xinyun could say anything, Liu Suifeng spoke first, "Aside from being a cultivator, Xinyun is also an alchemist. Although she can obtain some herbs in the sect, it is very taxing on her contribution points. Thus, she picks most of them herself."
Chu Xinyun nodded, tacitly agreeing with Liu Suifeng's words. Xiao Chen was speechless. Looking at their attitudes, Xiao Chen was sure that Liu Suifeng had never even held Chu Xinyun's hand before.
Never mind, as long as I can obtain the Ice Crystal Flower, it will be fine. Hopefully, nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Chen thought helplessly.
The three of them started to descend the mountain. Along the way, Liu Suifeng was very lively. He talked about all sorts of topics. Occasionally, Chu Xinyun would smile gently. She was extremely beautiful, making Liu Suifeng feel very satisfied.
Xiao Chen shook his head, but there was nothing he could do. After the three of them descended the mountain, they did not leave Lingyun Mountain Range. Instead, they went to the Spirit Beast Workshop of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
The journey to Evil Wind Valley was very long. Although the three of them were not slow, they did not want to waste their Essence on the journey. Thus, they planned to rent a few fast horses.
Using their inner disciple identity medallions, the three of them could rent the lowest ranked horses for free. If they wanted to rent Spirit Beasts, they would have to pay extra money.
There were all sorts of Spirit Beasts in the Spirit Beast Workshop. If you had enough Spirit Stones, you could rent some high ranked Spirit Beasts to fight for you.
However, the three of them could only look at these Spirit Beasts. Renting them was very expensive. Although Xiao Chen was not lacking in money, it was not good for him to expose himself.
