Another tremor
"The three of you should accept the Nine-Profoundly-Piercing Yang Elixir."
Unknowingly, the four Sword Masters had already ascended the podium.
The person who spoke was Yun Changqing.
He glanced at Xia Qingcheng and said meaningfully, "When the Heavenly Sword Trials ended, Luo Yun said that he wanted to give you a big gift. In other words, he has never thought of taking the Nine-Profoundly-Piercing Yang Elixir since then."
"Given his personality, once he has decided on something, no one can stop him. Even if you guys talk until your mouths are rotten, I don't think he will take it back."
Xia Qingcheng smiled when she heard Yun Changqing's words.
Indeed, it was impossible for her to make Chu Xingyun take back the Nine-Profoundly-Piercing Yang Elixir with just a few words.
"Anyway, we have already received so many King Artifacts. One Nine-Profoundly-Piercing Yang Elixir won't make a difference," Xia Qingcheng teased Chu Xingyun. She gently closed her hand and took the Nine-Profoundly-Piercing Yang Elixir.
Seeing this, Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing didn't say anything and silently put away the Nine-Profoundly-Piercing Yang Elixir.
When everyone saw this scene, they also laughed.
It was a smile of gratitude.
Although they didn't receive the Nine-Profoundly-Piercing Yang Elixir, they had gained a deep understanding of Sword Principle from Chu Xingyun's lecture.
The lecture didn't last long, but it illuminated their path of Sword Principle!
Most importantly, after what had happened, there was no complaint, no nervousness, no fear in their eyes as they looked at Chu Xingyun. Instead, there was only reverence and admiration.
The three thousand disciples were willing to endure ten days of waiting and scolding in order to improve their Sword Principle and raise their cultivation level.
Today, their wish had come true.
Chu Xingyun's words and actions had moved them. They also knew that Chu Xingyun didn't treat the outer sect like a free hand. The effort he put in was far more than the other Sword Masters.
The three Nine-Profoundly-Piercing Yang Elixirs were enough to explain everything!
"It's getting late. Let's end today's lecture." Chu Xingyun looked to the front. As soon as he finished speaking, no one in the crowd made a ruckus. They all stood up and bowed deeply to Chu Xingyun.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun's face was filled with satisfaction. A glint flashed across the eyes of the four Sword Masters. They looked at each other and saw the gratification in each other's eyes.
"For the next lecture, I will inform all of you one by one. Before that, all of you must take good care of the Outer Sanctum. This is both a training and a test." Chu Xingyun spoke again as his body slowly floated into the air.
Then, his figure shifted, turned into a ray of flowing light, and left the place in an instant.
Looking at the direction where Chu Xingyun left, the disciples bowed again and said respectfully, "Disciples respectfully send Sword Master off!"
The voice slowly spread into the surroundings, covering the entire Swordmaster Peak. Even the people outside the Swordmaster Peak could hear it clearly.
On the spectator stand, Shui Qianyue was standing in the crowd. She was extremely inconspicuous.
She also stared in the direction where Chu Xingyun left. On her pretty face, besides a lonely look, there was also a touch of unwillingness. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth …
That night, the Wanjian Pavilion was shaken again.
The news of today's sermon spread throughout the entire 10,000 Swords Pavilion under the publicity of the disciples.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the Wanjian Pavilion became particularly strange.
Those who were waiting to see Chu Xingyun make a fool of himself felt their faces burning. They did not dare to say another word.
Those Outer Sanctum disciples who did not become disciples were upset.
Ten days ago, there was a great opportunity in front of them, but they did not cherish it. Now, the opportunity no longer existed. They suddenly turned around and felt empty in their hearts. It was very uncomfortable.
As for those Outer Sanctum disciples who became disciples but gave up later, they felt even worse.
There were even some people who knelt at the foot of the Sword Master Peak, wanting to make up for their mistakes and exchange for a spot.
But in the end, they knelt for three days and three nights. Chu Xingyun still ignored them. The entire Sword Master Peak did not move at all, directly ignoring them.
Of course, this was all in the future.
Night fell. The Sword Master Peak was still so quiet in the dark night.
Chu Xingyun sat cross-legged in the courtyard with his eyes closed. He breathed evenly, but he did not enter a state of cultivation. Instead, he was thinking.
At this point, the development of the situation was under his control.
Yun Changqing was right. Before the Heavenly Sword Trials, Chu Xingyun had never thought of relying on pills to break through the shackles of the realm and enter the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
He wanted to pursue a perfect state of mind. All the shackles of the realm had to rely on his own strength and not rely on external objects.
After the Heavenly Sword Trials, Chu Xingyun had already made the decision to give a Nine Profound Breaking Yang Pill to Xia Qingcheng to help her enter the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
After all, if he personally refined it, a complete set of spiritual materials could refine nine Nine Profound Breaking Yang Pills. Moreover, every Nine Profound Breaking Yang Pill would definitely be able to condense a Yang Pill. There was no danger to one's life.
Giving one to Xia Qingcheng was not a big deal. Chu Xingyun would not care too much about it.
In these ten days, everything Chu Xingyun did was set up. His goal was still to tidy up the Outer Sanctum.
Expelling more than four thousand Outer Sanctum disciples, besides getting rid of idle people, was also to show Chu Xingyun's thunderous methods. He would not show mercy to anyone who ruined the Outer Sanctum and directly expelled them. He did not care about feelings at all.
He openly recruited disciples, did not give them power, wealth, or fame, and even let them suffer abuse and pressure for ten days. It was to screen out the Outer Sanctum disciples who were conscientious in their duties. At the same time, it was to let him take charge of the Outer Sanctum and make it work again.
After all, only in muddy water could one wash away all the sand and find true gold.
If one did not have a loyal heart, no matter how high one's talent was or how strong one's cultivation was, Chu Xingyun would not take a second look.
In these ten days, although he did not come out, he relied on his spies to observe the Outer Sanctum at all times.
Chu Xingyun had already investigated the details of those three thousand disciples. As for their talent in the Sword Dao, Chu Xingyun had repeatedly confirmed it several times. He did not let go of even the slightest clue.
Lu Ling came from the Goldenstone Kingdom. His cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Earth Spirit Realm. In the Outer Sanctum, he was famous for being a sword maniac. The sword intent he was skilled in was not the sword intent of light, but the sword intent of metal. Its grade was high, and it was at the eighth level.
Gu Xuanqing came from the Skywind Dynasty. His cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Earth Spirit Realm. He had a gentle temperament and did not like to fight. The sword intent he was skilled in was the sword intent of wood, which was also at the eighth level.
One had to know that those who possessed the fifth level of sword intent could become the disciple of the Sword Master. Those who possessed the seventh level of sword intent could become the disciple of the Pavilion Master. Those who possessed the eighth level of sword intent were rare existences in the entire Wanjian Pavilion.
So, Chu Xingyun chose the two of them!
The lecture this time actually contained two major tests.
The first test was the Sword Dao that Chu Xingyun described. It was his painstaking experience. With Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing's talent, if they carefully comprehended it, they would definitely be able to take that crucial step and enter the realm of One with the Sword.
As for the second test, it was the sword strike that made everyone feel puzzled.
In fact, the sword that looked ordinary actually contained all of Chu Xingyun's understanding of the sword intent of metal.
Once this sword was used, Lu Ling, who was skilled in the sword intent of metal, would definitely have a resonance in his heart and immediately understand it.
As for Gu Xuanqing, who was skilled in the sword intent of wood, not only did he not understand the sword intent of metal, he would even be somewhat resistant.
Metal, the sharpness of the four symbols, represented killing and sharpness.
Wood, the birth of the four symbols, represented life and gentleness.
The two were originally restraining each other.
It was also because of this that Lu Ling's answer was eighty percent, while Gu Xuanqing's answer was not even ten percent.
The two of them did not exaggerate or hide their answers. It was the same as what Chu Xingyun thought. From this point, it showed that Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing were trustworthy people who could be taken in as personal disciples and taught with all his heart.
As for the two Nine-Profound Breaking Yang Pills that he gave away today, he had also thought it through carefully.
Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing were both at the Earth Spirit Level 9. As long as they were given a Nine-Profound Breaking Yang Pill, they could easily enter the Heavenly Spirit Level and display their talent a step further.
But in fact, other than Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing, there were many people with outstanding talent among the three thousand disciples. Their talent was even not below the two of them.
However, Chu Xingyun could not accept it all at once.
Not only did he have to test them more to stimulate their talent, he also had to consider the frequency of usage of the Nine-Profound Breaking Yang Pill.
In the eyes of ordinary people, a complete set of spiritual materials could only refine three Nine-Profound Breaking Yang Pills, but Chu Xingyun had refined nine, which was twice as much.
If he took out the fourth Nine-Profound Breaking Yang Pill, not only would the entire Wanjian Pavilion be shaken, even Fan Wujie himself would come in person and interrogate Chu Xingyun about it.
At that time, Chu Xingyun would be in a lot of trouble and even fall into a difficult situation.
In summary, he finally made the decision to take in Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing first, and then plan again. He had to take in all the geniuses of the outer sect without anyone knowing.
Buzz!
While Chu Xingyun was thinking, a magnificent and terrifying aura descended from the sky without any warning, enveloping the entire courtyard and even the Sword Master Peak.
