While Yu Zhenghai was searching for Yu Shangrong, Lu Zhou replenished the Heavenly Writing's extraordinary power.
At this moment, he heard the notification of 1,000 merit points.
"1,000 merit points …"
The cultivation base of this reward should not be a threat to Yu Shangrong. Why was he trapped? Naturally, this could be Yu Zhenghai's doing. It was normal for him to run into a few ignorant fools after being out for a few days. However, he did not know Yu Shangrong's current situation.
When he recalled what he saw previously, he could not help but feel puzzled. How could an opponent capable of trapping Yu Shangrong be a weakling?
Lu Zhou opened his eyes and looked at the system's mission dashboard.
The mission to train his nine disciples was still there. Training them had become a long-term mission, so Lu Zhou no longer paid attention to it.
"Broken sword …"
Although the scene was brief, he could see it clearly. There was no doubt the broken sword was the Longevity Sword. It was impossible for Yu Shangrong to break the Longevity Sword. He treated the sword like his life. On top of that, he was a Nine-leaf cultivator. An opponent capable of breaking the Longevity Sword had to have at least a desolate-grade weapon.
If he had known this would happen, he would have upgraded the Longevity Sword.
Yu Shangrong was too reliant on the sword, causing his progress on the sword path to stagnate.
He sighed.
With these disciples, he would have to worry about himself for the rest of his life.
"Let's try again."
Lu Zhou decided to unleash his Heavenly Writing power.
He folded his palms and was about to recite the Heavenly Writing mantra when a voice rang from outside.
"Greetings, master."
It was Yu Zhenghai's voice.
"Greetings, master."
It was Yu Shangrong's voice.
He felt slightly relieved.
Fortunately, he had returned in time. Otherwise, he would have wasted another half of his extraordinary power.
"Come in."
The two of them pushed the door open and entered.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong walked behind the screen and bowed again.
Lu Zhou raised his hand and said, "Rise."
Yu Zhenghai glanced at Yu Shangrong and said, "Master, I didn't fail you. Second Junior Brother is safe and sound."
"Safe and sound?"
Lu Zhou looked at Yu Shangrong and studied him.
He saw Yu Shangrong holding the Longevity Sword's scabbard with his right hand.
Yu Shangrong sensed the peculiar look in his master's eyes. He bowed and said, "Indeed, I've run into some trouble, but it's still under control. Thank you for your concern, master. Thank you for your help, Eldest Senior Brother."
Lu Zhou shifted his gaze away from the Longevity Sword and looked at Yu Shangrong. He said, "It's understandable that everyone is competitive. But, lying is not a good thing. "
Yu Shangrong bowed and said, "I'm telling the truth. I dare not lie to you, master."
"Draw the sword," Lu Zhou said.
"…"
Yu Shangrong was slightly taken aback. However, when he saw the determination in his master's eyes, he quickly drew his Longevity Sword.
Yu Shangrong unsheathed the Longevity Sword and fell to one knee. He lifted the broken sword with both hands and said, "I've made a mistake. I've accidentally damaged the Longevity Sword …"
Lu Zhou remained calm.
Yu Zhenghai was slightly shocked. He knew his Second Junior Brother very well. He knew how important the Longevity Sword was to Yu Shangrong. Along the way, Yu Shangrong did not seem sad at all. He sighed when he thought about this.
Lu Zhou said, "Speak."
Yu Shangrong nodded. Then, he told Lu Zhou about his experiences and the sequence of events. When he mentioned the blind man, Yu Zhenghai and Lu Zhou frowned slightly. It was understandable for them to encounter golden lotuses in the red lotus domain. After all, they had found the passage and had the Sky Chariot, Water Shuttle, and other transportation vehicles. However, the purplish-black energy made them wary.
"The blind man's cultivation base is average, but his attacks are extremely peculiar. When I fought him, I was careless, and he used a desolate-grade weapon to break my Longevity Sword. "
"A desolate-grade weapon?"
Yu Shangrong produced the small item from his pocket.
During the battle that day, it was too dark for him to see it clearly.
Now that he looked at it, it looked like a rock. It was inconspicuous. However, its faint radiance attracted Lu Zhou's attention.
Lu Zhou waved his hand, and the item flew into his palm.
"Ding! Obtained item, Fire Spirit Rock. Can be used to upgrade a desolate-grade item." (Note: Requires three Fire Spirit Rocks to use.)
"Fire Spirit Rock?" Lu Zhou circulated his Primal Qi.
The Fire Spirit Rock shone even brighter.
Not only could it be used as an offensive weapon, but it could also be used to upgrade a desolate-grade item.
A Shining Stone could only be used to upgrade a heaven-grade item. Yu Shangrong's luck was unparalleled.
"You recognize this item, master?" Yu Zhenghai was curious.
Lu Zhou nodded lightly. He stroked his beard and said, "I've heard of it. This item can be used to upgrade a desolate-grade item. A desolate-grade item is already rare and precious. This Fire Spirit Rock is indeed a rare treasure that can be used to upgrade a flood-grade item. "
Yu Zhenghai was shocked. He stepped forward and patted Yu Shangrong's shoulder. He said loudly, "Second Junior Brother, you're truly lucky. Although your sword is broken, the heavens didn't mistreat you. A heaven-grade item is nothing. With this Fire Spirit Rock, you'll be the first person in the Evil Sky Pavilion to possess a … a flood-grade weapon! "
However …
Yu Shangrong raised his Longevity Sword and said, "The Fire Spirit Rock is so important that I'm willing to give it to you, master. Please accept it, master. "
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhenghai snapped back to his senses.
He hastily said, "Yes, yes, yes … The Fire Spirit Rock is so important. Master needs it more than anything else."
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and shook his head.
He said, "I appreciate your kindness. You risked your life to obtain this item, so it's rightfully yours. As for the Longevity Sword, it's nothing to be afraid of if it's broken. As long as your heart isn't broken, you'll have to think of a way to reforge it in the future. "
He tossed the Fire Spirit Rock back to Yu Shangrong.
Yu Shangrong caught the Fire Spirit Rock. Something stirred in his heart.
He immediately said, "Thank you, master."
"There's something strange about the stone forest you mentioned. If you have the time, draw it out and give it to your Seventh Junior Brother to study. Also, it's a fortuitous encounter that you managed to comprehend the sword path in the stone forest. Do you know why I didn't give you the desolate-grade Longevity Sword? "
Yu Shangrong looked up. Realization dawned on him immediately. He said, "I'll remember your good intentions, master."
"You're too reliant on the Longevity Sword, and it's become a shackle on your sword path. Although you've comprehended the son of heaven's sword and all creation as swords, there's still the Swordless Path and Calm Disturbance that you need to comprehend. The path of cultivation is long. You mustn't be arrogant and complacent," Lu Zhou said.
"Yes. Thank you for your teachings, master."
"Ding! Taught Yu Shangrong. Reward: 200 merit points. Mentor and helpful friend: 300 merit points."
Yu Zhenghai said with a smile, "Second Junior Brother, I've really put a lot of thought into you!"
"You too." Lu Zhou turned to look at Yu Zhenghai.
That gaze, that attitude, that aura …
It was as though he was saying, 'I've personally demonstrated the Water Dragon Song, and I wonder if you've comprehended it.'
The pot calling the kettle black. This was not a good thing.
Yu Zhenghai fell to one knee at once. "I'll remember your teachings, master. I'll master the Water Dragon Song as soon as possible."
"Ding! Taught Yu Zhenghai. Reward: 200 merit points. Mentor and helpful friend: 300 merit points. Eternal Paragon: 300 merit points."
When Lu Zhou heard the notification from the system, he immediately pondered the difference between the two. Yu Zhenghai had the Eternal Paragon, but Yu Shangrong did not.
He thought about it for a moment. He had only bought the item cards recently, and he had indeed demonstrated the Water Dragon Song to Yu Zhenghai.
'Should I demonstrate Calm Disturbance again?'
"Master, Ji Liang is waiting outside the hall … It seems to have the ability to replenish one's life." Yu Shangrong's words pulled him back to the present.
"Replenish one's life?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.
"However, it seems to need rest."
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. "Let it recuperate in the forest at the back."
"Understood."
Based on the current situation, each mount had its own ability. Whitzard's ability was the Auspicious Rain. It was triggered when he encountered a grand shaman. Bi An's ability was its sense of smell. It was also ferocious. It was triggered when it was searching for Yu Zhenghai. Ji Liang's ability was to replenish one's life. It was triggered when Yu Shangrong was in trouble. What about Qiong Qi and Dang Kang? Qiong Qi was currently in Mingshi Yin's hands. It seemed to be close to Old Fourth as well. As for Dang Kang, he had never seen it before so he would not comment on it.
At this moment, a voice rang from outside again.
"Senior Lu, the people from the Sky Martial Court are here."
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong looked outside at the same time.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. 'They're finally here.'
"Follow me on a trip."
The two of them bowed.
On a cloud platform 1,000 meters in front of the 12 peaks of Cloud Mountain.
Outside the barrier, an extremely majestic and magnificent giant chariot slowly flew over.
The flying chariot was 1,000 feet long, several hundred feet tall, and more than 100 feet wide. It looked like a skiff.
Flags fluttered above the chariot. Armored soldiers wielding halberds stood on both sides of the deck.
It was a majestic sight.
The chariot slowly entered the Twelve Sects of Cloud Mountain's territory.
When it arrived above the cloud platform, a voice rang out.
"Nie Qingyun of Cloud Mountain, why aren't you coming out to receive us?!"
