Sima Juan was puzzled. "Why? Why is it that the inner sword's range of control is further than my outer sword's? "
Yan Cheng sighed. "Because their flying swords are formless and intangible! On the other hand, we have both form and quality! The gap between us is so big that it's insurmountable!
It's also because of this that our sword's speed is slightly slower than the inner sword's.
The most important thing is that their flying swords don't have any cost. They're just metal essence scraped off from the sword orb, endless and unending. How many flying swords do we have?
They make a move first, fly faster, and attack more than us. Our outer sword's power is above theirs. If both sides meet and have the same cultivation level, how do you think we should fight? "
Everyone was silent, but in the hearts of the newcomers, nine out of ten of them were unconvinced. This was also a characteristic of cultivators, especially sword cultivators. No matter what others said, they would only know after fighting once. Only after fighting a few times would they become the likes of Guang Gu!
Only Lou Xiaoyi sighed inwardly. His judgment was correct. If he followed the path of the outer sword, he wouldn't be able to win against those rich and overbearing cultivators. On top of that, there was the inner sword system. He could forget about standing out in Xuanyuan for the rest of his life!
He didn't want to be in the limelight, but what if there was an inner sword cultivator who also had a shard of destiny like him? What would he do?
It had been sixteen years since the shard of destiny scattered into the universe. If there was a fifth ring cultivator who had a shard of destiny, they would be on the same level as him. In fact, all the shards of destiny in the universe should be on the same level as him, right?
If a high level cultivator had a shard of destiny, then there was no need for others to play. They would only end up being devoured!
The gathering only ended after four hours. The three senior apprentice brothers even gave everyone a small gift. Everyone received an exquisite jade pendant. It wasn't a magic tool, but more like a symbol of status, a keepsake of some organization.
Only Lou Xiaoyi received something substantial. Ten mid-grade spirit stones!
This was a happy ending. Following the departure of the three senior apprentice brothers, those who weren't here also left. Ling Ruofeng called out to him.
"Disappointed? Do you think they look down on you? "
Lou Xiaoyi placed the spirit stones into his storage ring with an indifferent expression on his face. "One of the good things about me is that I don't compare myself to others!
Senior Martial Brothers of the three Senior Martial Brothers are concerned about me, a junior, so they gave me some Spirit Stones. I can't bear a grudge just because it's different from what others give me! Instead, he was filled with the anger of the vicissitudes of life!
This is not the way to conduct oneself!
I'm guessing that you've obtained some sort of token from a small group, right? Does the Xuanyuan Sword School allow such an existence? "
Ling Ruofeng admired Lou Xiaoyi's attitude and felt that he could talk to him more.
"Little Yi, I know that your ambition is not to cultivate the sword, but to cultivate magic. However, listen to my advice. Since you are already here, take things as they come. Since you can't leave the dome, there is no need to insist on your own views. Even if you reach a higher state in the future, it won't be too late to talk about magic. I heard that there is no ban on magic in Xuanyuan, especially defensive magic and talismans! But the prerequisite is that you have to have some achievements in swordsmanship! You don't need me to teach you the trade-off, do you? "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice, Senior Martial Brother Ling. I understand. It's just that I started a little late on the path of swordsmanship, and I have a lot of questions, so I slowed down my progress! It's only been half a year. To a cultivator, this is nothing. "
Ling Ruofeng saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he relaxed and explained.
"Of course, Xuanyuan doesn't allow different organizations to exist within the school. However, that token is not a token of an organization, but a token of a loan!"
"A token of a loan? What do you mean? "Lou Xiaoyi felt that it was a novelty.
Ling Ruofeng sighed and said, "Everywhere there is Jianghu, and everywhere there are factions. It's the same for the realm, the country, and of course it's the same for the school! Just as Senior Martial Brother Guang Gu said, in the early days of Xuanyuan, there were internal and external Sword Vein conflicts, and there were conflicts between Master and disciple clans. Although these conflicts are no longer the mainstream, the mainstream now is other conflicts!
For example, the conflict of birthplace! "
Seeing that Lou Xiaoyi seemed to understand something, he nodded and said, "You see, you understand as soon as I say it! The origins of Xuanyuan's disciples are complicated, but their origins can be divided into three groups. Xuanyuan's ancestral land, the aboriginals of the Fifth Ring Road, and those of us who were abducted!
After ten thousand years, the status of us wandering souls in Xuanyuan has gradually increased, and we now account for nearly thirty percent of the high-level cultivators. This is a huge improvement, but of course, it also brings with it a huge challenge!
This token is a good deed done by some high-level foreign cultivators among the Foundation Establishment cultivators. Because they know that many of us will be trapped in a lack of resources, have no one to rely on, and have no place to borrow strength, they set up a large spirit stone trading company, and specialize in borrowing from us outsiders to satisfy the cultivators' needs in the process of cultivation!
After all, resources have to be distributed every six months, and some cultivators can't have to wait for half a year, right?
If there's an urgent need, you can borrow with this token. There are different levels of borrowing, and the more trustworthy and powerful you are, the more you can borrow. For newcomers like us, the upper limit is two hundred mid-grade spirit stones, but it's enough for a temporary turnover!
Little Yi, you're a bit slow to learn the basics of swordsmanship, so the three senior brothers didn't give you the token. But it's not a big deal. Once you've mastered the flying sword and have enough strength, they won't be short of you.
This is a benefit for us outsiders, and it doesn't require interest, so it'll be much more convenient with it! "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. "It can't be that there's no interest at all, right? If there's no interest on spirit stones, I'm afraid we'll have to find other ways to make up for it … "
Ling Ruofeng didn't care. "Yes, people have to do something. If it's not this, it's that. Who can stay in the domed cave forever? It's nothing more than some requests to help each other. It's very reasonable, and even the sect didn't stop it … "
Lou Xiaoyi didn't continue to argue. There was no need. This kind of spirit stone borrowing that could only be done by cultivators from specific areas, even if there were no conditions attached, would have an impact on the cultivator's thinking after a long time.
There were small groups everywhere, and this was human nature. Cultivators would automatically gather together due to various factors. Where did they come from? What dialect did they speak? What cultivation method did they practice? What hobbies did they have? And so on and so forth … So there were alchemist associations, talisman master alliances, and array master groups. Some were for communication and improvement, some were for transfer of benefits, and some were for fighting.
But Lou Xiaoyi didn't like this kind of purely good-natured borrowing method! He preferred the kind with interest!
Both sides had their own demands, and this was the way to long-term cooperation. Otherwise, like now, it was as if he owed someone a favor at any time, and he didn't know what kind of method the other party would use to ask for his help and support. Would you do it or not?
He didn't believe in purely good-natured borrowing!
Even if this was the original intention of the lending organization, as time passed, there would be changes in the people who carried it out.
He didn't like this method. It was good that they didn't give him the token, and it would save him the embarrassment of not knowing how to return it!
