The stars dimmed, everything was quiet, even Luo Yihong had quietly fallen asleep.
Zhao Yun was in high spirits, not sleepy at all. Glancing at Luo Yihong, she thought, "She is sleeping soundly, she is not afraid that I will take her life." Calculating the time, there were still more than six hours before Hu Qing and her sister woke up. Therefore, she silently recited the incantation, driving the Four Symbols True Qi to attack the Jadefire True Qi's seventh layer, the Divine Realm.
This Divine Realm focused on 'holding Qi like a god, seeing clearly like a candle'. It pursued 'Qi and Thought as one', striving to be able to use Qi as one's own arm and finger, following one's heart's desire. For hundreds of years, no one except the founder, Yansui Sanren, had reached this realm. The main reason was that the Qi in the cultivator's body was not pure or thick, it was difficult to support the Qi and Thought as one wished.
Zhao Yun broke and then stood, dying and then reborn. Under several lucky coincidences, her body contained the Four Symbols True Qi, enough to accommodate everything, endless self-restraint. Her foundation was very different from others. Although her foundation was still shallow, her Qi was not enough, she was still unable to break through the Divine Realm. But as long as she progressed step by step, over time, she could expand her Qi Sea and fill her Dantian with emptiness. Then she would be able to connect to the most subtle point and explore the Celestial Being's opportunity.
"This series of battles not only allowed my swordsmanship comprehension to reach a higher level, even my Qi channels have expanded, my Qi has become purer. The battles on the edge of life and death have indeed allowed my strength to improve rapidly. But my strength is still far from Ye Feng Dage's. The road ahead is vast, I must work harder to cultivate. "
Immediately, Zhao Yun had no distractions, she concealed her spirit and qi and immersed herself in cultivation.
Sure enough, as Luo Yihong said, Hu Qing and her sister slept for ten hours and woke up safe and sound. Seeing that Zhao Yun was safe and sound, they were naturally overjoyed. They whispered sweet nothings to Zhao Yun, confiding their hearts to each other.
Everyone finished cultivating and continued on their journey. This time, Luo Yihong followed closely behind Zhao Yun and the others. She only said that she wanted to tour the Immortal Grove, so she did not stray more than one zhang away from them.
Zhao Yun thought that for better or worse, she had gone through trials and tribulations with Luo Yihong, and she wanted to know the secret of the Demon Monument from Luo Yihong's mouth; therefore, she allowed Luo Yihong to follow her. Along the way, she only talked and laughed with Duobao, Hu Qing, and Hu Lan, and did not speak a single word with Luo Yihong.
Luo Yihong thought to himself, "If you are willing to let me follow you, then my plan has taken a step forward. I believe that it won't be long before I can completely control you. " With Little Darling as her companion, she was not afraid that Zhao Yun would give her the cold shoulder. However, when she saw Zhao Yun acting intimately with those two women, she could not help but have strange feelings in her heart.
Along the way, there were dense forests, lofty mountains, and exotic flowers and plants. The Hundred Thousand Mountains indeed lived up to its reputation. Although everyone was walking, they were able to move swiftly due to their cultivation. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed, but there were no more invaders.
At first, Zhao Yun was vigilant all the time, she did not dare to relax for even a moment. When she saw the peaceful scene, she could not help feeling disappointed. "I am used to walking on the edge of life and death. Such a dull day is really boring. On the contrary, I hope that more battles will help me improve faster. "
"Wow, after passing through a forest in front, we will reach Wushuang City! I can finally take a beautiful bath. My body is stinking. "Luo Yihong looked at the willow forest in front of her and suddenly let out a bell-like laughter.
Duobao was puzzled. He said to Zhao Yun, "Shidi, isn't there a pond in front of us? That woman's body is dirty, she can just go down and wash. Why do we have to wait until we reach the city? "
Zhao Yun thought to herself, "Luo Yihong's body is surrounded by a rich fragrance, how can there be any stench?" She said to Duobao, "Shidi, you don't have to pay attention to her. She was just trying to find a topic to talk to herself. Let's just hurry. "
Hu Lan chuckled and was proud. She also said to herself, "Some people just like to ask for a snub. They always think that they are the most beautiful in the world and want to tell the world every day."
Luo Yihong's face turned cold. She knew that it was not the right time to have a conflict with Hu Lan. She could only endure her reprimand.
"Squeak squeak!"
Little Guobao suddenly cried out.
Luo Yihong was alarmed. She had originally decided not to say anything, but she could not help but exclaim softly, "There is a situation!"
Zhao Yun did not wait for Luo Yihong's reminder. She had already sensed something and stopped walking. She called out to the sky, "Who is it? Come out! "
"Haha. The successor of Blue Lotus is indeed worthy of your reputation. I, Hua Xilei, have waited for a long time! "
After the bell-like laughter, five women flew down from the sky. They were all dressed in yellow and were extremely beautiful. One of them was even more beautiful. She was around twenty years old. Her hair was like a waterfall and her legs were tender and slender. It was pleasing to the eye. She wore a pair of crystal lotus shoes. She was elegant, quiet and cute, showing the temperament of a young girl. Although her appearance was slightly inferior to the sisters Luo Yihong and Hu Qing, she could still be considered a first class beauty.
Yet another uninvited guest, Zhao Yun was secretly on guard, and asked: "We have no relationship, what are you waiting for me for?"
Hua Xilei chuckled, "I say, Zhao Yun, do you have to be like this? If this gets out, you will lose face for Li Qinglian. Let me tell you. Although we have not met before, our relationship has long been destined. "
"What do you mean? Why don't you say it all at once. "
Hua Xilei swept a glance at Luo Yihong and the others. She chuckled, "Aiya, you are indeed the successor of Blue Lotus. You have learned his Passionate Division quite well. Haha, don't be anxious. I will say it. I am here to seek advice from you. "
"Oh? Then I will seek advice from you. "Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and held the hilt of Wei Dou Sword. Since the other party had provoked him, she must have come prepared. He would not look down on her just because she was a girl.
"My brother, you are amazing. Why do you want to use your sword in less than three sentences? You scared me to death. Let me tell you. I am here to test your literary talent. I am not here to compete with you in martial arts. "
Zhao Yun was dumbfounded. He could not help but size up Hua Xilei. He almost treated her as a crazy girl. He said angrily, "Who has the time to compete in literary talent? If you want to compete in literary talent, go find those scholars. Oh right, you can find Chirumen Yang Xugu. He likes to play with words. Go find him. Don't block our way. "
Hua Xilei's eyes widened. She said incredulously, "Who wants to find Yang Xugu, that mangy dog. That guy can't walk away when he sees a girl. He is so annoying. I am here to test you, the successor of the Blue Lotus Sect. Oh right, I forgot to say that I am from Lian Yu Society. "
"What Lian Yu Society?" Zhao Yun was also confused. He did not know where this girl came from. But this girl kept saying that she was the successor of the Blue Lotus Sect. It seemed that she had some background. He had to ask clearly.
"You don't even know about Lian Yu Society? My God, you are really unqualified as the successor of the Blue Lotus Sect. Fine, since you have just entered the sect, I will spare you. Let me tell you, this competition has been passed down for thousands of years. If you do not dare to accept, then you admit defeat and surrender. Li Qinglian will be angered half to death by you. "
"Lian Yu Society? Lian Yu Society has disappeared for hundreds of years. It is said that its inheritance has been cut off. There is still a successor? "Luo Yihong exclaimed with a look of disbelief.
"This beautiful sister, you also know about Lian Yu Society? Zhao Yun, look at her. You are the successor of the Blue Lotus Sect. Don't you feel ashamed of Li Qinglian? "Hua Xilei changed the topic and mocked Zhao Yun.
Hu Lan thought that his beloved was embarrassed. He said sarcastically, "It is you who wants to compete with us, not us who wants to compete with you. You talk a lot of nonsense. If you don't want to say it, then get out of the way. We have to change our route. "
"Aiyo, sister, don't be angry. I will tell you everything." Hua Xilei's expression became serious. She slowly recited, "The jade stairs produce white dew, the night is long enough to invade the stockings. I want to go down the water curtain, the exquisite looking at the autumn moon. "
Zhao Yun blurted out, "Jade Stairs' Resentment!"
Hua Xilei said, "That's right, it is Jade Stairs' Resentment. Zhao Yun, your Blue Lotus Sword Technique should have the 'Exquisite Looking at the Autumn Moon' move, right? "
Zhao Yun nodded. He thought to himself, "I wonder why she suddenly mentioned Li Qinglian's Jade Stairs' Resentment."
"Do you know why Li Qinglian wrote this Jade Stairs' Resentment? Who was it written for? En, of course you don't know. This poem was specially written by Li Qinglian for Lian Yu Society's Ancestor Grandma. The infatuated woman in the poem is my Ancestor Grandma. Back then, Ancestor Grandma and Li Qinglian had a sweet relationship. However, because Li Qinglian cared about the world, they spent less time together and more time apart. Therefore, she was rather disappointed. Later, Li Qinglian finally broke off his relationship with Ancestor Grandma completely and left. The beauty rolled up the beaded curtain, sitting deep with knitted brows. But seeing the tears, it is unknown who she hates. Li Qinglian's' Resentment 'was written on the day of his heartlessness. Because of love, Ancestor Grandma developed hatred, and because of hatred, she created Lian Yu Society to oppose Li Qinglian. She also passed down the Society's decree that the successors of each generation must be enemies with the Green Lotus Sect. "
Zhao Yun couldn't help but be stunned. He thought to himself, "No wonder Li Qinglian's genius is so heroic and unruly, but his poems are so sentimental. But if this Lian Yu Society has been enemies with the Green Lotus Sect for generations, why has Shifu, no, Ling Ye Lai never mentioned it to me? "
Hua Xilei continued, "It's just that generations have passed. Even the prosperous Tang Empire has been destroyed. What blood feud between Lian Yu Society and the Green Lotus Sect is worth continuing? However, Ancestor Grandma's strict teachings can't be disobeyed. Therefore, everyone discussed and decided to replace martial arts with literature. In any case, Li Qinglian is known as the immortal poet, and his disciples are also outstanding in literature. If Lian Yu Society defeats the Green Lotus Sect in literature, then it's because Ancestor Grandma defeats Li Qinglian. "
Zhao Yun's thoughts flashed. "So, in the past thousand years, your Lian Yu Society has never defeated the Green Lotus Sect in literature? Otherwise, why would you still want to challenge me? "
Hua Xilei's face reddened. He explained, "No, it's not like that. It's clearly the Green Lotus Sect that has withered. Our Lian Yu Society doesn't want to take advantage of you and can't bear to bully you. Moreover, my shifu was seriously injured by Old Devil Laoshan and has been in seclusion to heal his injuries for several hundred years. How would he have the time to search for the Green Lotus Sect? Don't talk so much. I'm just asking if you will accept the challenge. If you don't dare, then Lian Yu Society defeats the Green Lotus Sect. "
Hu Qing whispered in Zhao Yun's ear, "Although Hua Xilei has blurted out her denial, I reckon that Lian Yu Society has been defeated in the previous competitions. It's just that she clearly came prepared this time. She has thoroughly investigated Langjun's background. We really can't be reckless. "
As the saying goes, "If you're familiar with three hundred poems, you can recite them even if you don't know how to compose them." But in the matter of literature, it really depends on a lot of talent. Zhao Yun knew that he was only familiar with Li Qinglian's poetry collections, as well as browsing related poems and articles. However, he wasn't a scholar after all. He lacked the love and creativity for words. He was afraid that he would be ridiculed and teased by this woman in a hurry. However, if he didn't accept the challenge, he would definitely lose face as the Green Lotus Sect's successor and let Lian Yu talk nonsense.
The battle of literature was more important than the battle of sword arts.
