The next day.
Dantai Qingrun, who had returned to her family, returned to the Spiritual Ruins City on time. Together with Lu Qingshan, they went through the teleportation formation and arrived at Fufeng, the capital of the Qing Province.
Fufeng City was located on a huge spirit vein. The spirit vein itself was not of high quality, but because of its length, the Da Xia Kingdom had built a huge capital on it.
Because there was a jade river outside the city that looked like a silver belt, the entire Fufeng City was filled with a light freshwater mist all year round. The air was humid, and it was mixed with abundant spiritual vigor. Just the environment alone was really extraordinary.
A place's environment nurtured a place's people. The mortals living in Fufeng City generally had a longer lifespan, and the chances of newborns having spirit roots had also increased by a lot.
The place was full of outstanding people and spiritual vigor.
As soon as Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun arrived in Fufeng City, they went straight to the Qing Province Main Building hidden in the city.
Outside the Main Building, after reporting, a green-robed cultivator quickly led the two of them into the building.
As soon as they stepped through the door of the tower, their eyes lit up.
The inside and outside of the building were actually two different worlds.
Outside the building, there were people coming and going, and it was unusually noisy. There were many pavilions, and it was like a lively marketplace.
Inside the building, there were ethereal immortal mountains, lush trees, pavilions, and waterfalls. There was abundant spiritual vigor, and it was like a celestial home.
This was a small world controlled by the Zhishou Building, the Green Wind World.
To Lu Qingshan, who had experienced many big scenes, this kind of scene was not a rare thing. It just made him feel an inexplicable feeling of reunion after a long separation.
"Come with me," the green-robed cultivator said. He took the lead and flew in front to lead the way.
The Thousand Beauty Building was one of the top three buildings in the Green Wind World, and the person in charge was the Deputy Building Master, True Venerable North Ming, who was a mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator of the thunder element.
There was an extremely large group of palaces in the surroundings of the Thousand Elegance Pavilion. All of them had names and were extremely important functional palaces. There was an intelligence office for storing information, a treasure hall for storing precious spiritual materials, and a scripture library for mastering cultivation techniques and magical arts. All of them were guarded by great cultivators who were either Golden Elixir or Nascent Soul cultivators.
Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun went straight into the Thousand Beauty Building.
"You two can go in. The True Sovereign is already waiting for you inside." The green-robed cultivator was polite and considerate. He was neither servile nor overbearing as he spoke softly to the two.
After the two of them cupped their hands towards the azure-robed cultivator to express their gratitude, they entered the Thousand Beauty Pavilion.
As he watched the two enter the Thousand Elegance Pavilion, the azure-clothed cultivator revealed a trace of envy.
The two Golden Elixir Daoists were valued so highly by the True Exalted at such a young age. It could be foreseen that their futures were boundless.
.....
Lu Qingshan stepped into the tall and bright main hall of the Thousand Xiu Building. The decoration of the main hall was extremely simple, and the tranquility of the Daoist School was clearly displayed.
"Greetings, True Sovereign."
In the main hall, True Sovereign Darknorth was sitting on the main seat. The two of them bowed to him.
Seeing Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun enter, True Sovereign Darknorth first smiled and made a gesture of support. Then, as if he had discovered something, his eyelids twitched and he said in surprise, "Eh? Golden Elixir early stage. It's only been a few days since we last met, and you've already broken through to the Golden Elixir? "
Lu Qingshan said humbly, "It's just a small breakthrough. It's not worth mentioning."
"At such a young age, you're already a Golden Elixir. Nascent Soul is in sight!" True Sovereign Darknorth praised, but there was a trace of regret in his tone.
The Zhishou Building was not a sect, and there were no restrictions on the origins of its members. In other words, even if one came from another sect, they could work in the Zhishou Building. For example, True Sovereign Darknorth came from a top sect.
However, there was still a problem of choice, which was the difference between the direct line of descent and the collateral line.
If one wanted to lean towards the Zhishou Building, they would be able to take over real power and receive resources from the Zhishou Building. Correspondingly, the cultivator would have to put most of his energy into the affairs of the Zhishou Building and be directly under the direct line of descent.
In this matter, the Zhishou Building emphasized the principle of mutual consent, and there was no coercion.
If one focused on their own cultivation, they would be more like a guest of the Zhishou Building and belong to the collateral line of descent.
Although True Sovereign Darknorth came from a big sect, since he was the deputy head of the Qingzhou Main Building, it meant that he was more inclined towards the Zhishou Building. Dantai Qingrun was the same, and Dantai Qingrun's purity had to be corrected. After all, the Zhishou Building was like an unattainable mountain to the Dantai family.
Lu Qingshan had made it clear that he had no intention of taking over the real power of the Zhishou Building, so he belonged to the collateral line.
It was reasonable for True Sovereign Darknorth to feel that it was a pity that such a talented cultivator had no intention of developing in the Zhishou Building.
However, no matter what Lu Qingshan's future would be, he was at least a Golden Elixir Daoist for now. No matter how much True Sovereign Darknorth thought highly of him, it was not to the point where he had to have Lu Qingshan. Therefore, he quickly put away his thoughts and changed the topic to ask Dantai Qingrun, "How's the matter with the Spiritual Ruins Building?"
"It's all settled. With Li Zun's death, there are only a few weak ones left in the Spiritual Ruins Hades. They won't be able to do much," Dantai Qingrun reported respectfully.
In fact, Dantai Qingrun had already sorted out the details and reported it to the main building. True Sovereign Darknorth's question was more of a courtesy.
However, this seemingly meaningless exchange of pleasantries was a reflection of how much True Venerable Darknorth valued Tantai Qingrun.
In True Venerable Darknorth's eyes, the outstanding performance of Tantai Qingrun, whom he had personally promoted, made him feel proud.
True Sovereign Darknorth nodded and got down to business. "I'm sure you know why I've summoned you two here."
"Without shedding a drop of blood, you've heavily injured the Spiritual Ruins Hades and even obtained extremely important spoils of war. With such a great contribution, the building naturally won't be stingy with your rewards." True Sovereign Darknorth waved his hand and two jade slips flew out and hovered in front of the two.
"This is the list of spiritual materials and spiritual weapons in the building's treasury. The building has decided to give you a fixed share. You can choose ten spiritual materials and one spiritual weapon.
However, both of you are sword cultivators and need less spiritual weapons than other cultivators. Therefore, this can only be considered as a bonus. The real reward will be explained to you in detail later, "True Sovereign Darknorth explained.
Lu Qingshan didn't doubt him and took the jade slips and probed them with his Divine Sense.
Zhishou Building, which belonged to the Da Xia Kingdom, was indeed extraordinary in terms of treasures. A dazzling array of spiritual materials came into view. Not only were there vivid images, but there were also extremely detailed explanations.
There were also many precious spiritual materials that could be said to be priceless in the cultivation world.
Most importantly, Lu Qingshan also saw the spiritual materials needed for the Five Elements Sword Armor.
Lu Qingshan's vision was very broad and he had a clear understanding of his own cultivation system. Therefore, it was very easy for him to choose the spiritual materials he needed.
After choosing the spiritual materials needed for the Fire and Earth Sword Armor, he chose several spiritual materials needed to upgrade the Sword Armor. Finally, from a list of high-grade and top-grade spiritual weapons, he chose a suitable magic weapon.
The magic weapon was called the Mind Calming Pendant, which was a high-grade spiritual weapon. It was a very rare spiritual defensive magic weapon. It was refined from the Mind Calming Jade produced in a place of cold yin.
Not only could it calm the mind and help the cultivator cultivate, but it also had a spiritual defense spell. When the cultivator was attacked by the soul, it would send out a Mind Calming Light Wave to block the attack and even counterattack.
As long as the Five Elements Sword Armor was refined, coupled with the Mind Calming Pendant and the Spirit Condensation Middle Stage, Lu Qingshan could be regarded as a solid piece of iron in terms of defense.
After Dantai Qingrun also chose the spiritual materials and spiritual weapons she needed, True Sovereign Darknorth's face became serious and he talked to the two of them about the real key matter.
"Dantai Qingrun, the Building Master's decision is to give the list of the Qingzhou Main Building to you." True Sovereign Darknorth's expression was solemn and he said in a deep voice.
When Dantai Qingrun heard this, she frowned and her eyes flashed with doubt. Obviously, she did not understand what this meant.
However, Lu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat. He had heard of this thing in his previous life.
In layman's terms, the list was equivalent to the sect's core disciple quota.
"The list represents the key training target of the Zhishou Building. There are two requirements. It can't be given to someone who is not a direct descendant, and it can't be given to someone who is not talented and has outstanding ability." True Sovereign Darknorth explained the specific situation, "Once selected, you have to immediately go to the Zhishou Building in the Middle Heaven Domain to accept the training and trial of the Building Master.
Even our Qingzhou Main Building only has one such list every ten years.
It can be said that many people in the building have their eyes on this list. If you didn't make two great contributions in Zhenjiang and Spiritual Ruins, which made Building Master Pang Yang personally give this list to you, I'm afraid it would be difficult to convince the public. "
The Qingzhou Main Building, which had 36 prefectures and thousands of buildings, only had one list every ten years. It could be imagined how fierce the competition was and how precious it was.
In addition, the members of the Zhishou Building had complicated backgrounds. This fight for the list was bound to be entangled with many forces in the open and in the dark.
Only Tantai Qingrun, who had made a monstrous contribution, could do this. He broke through the situation with his strength and forcefully seized this position in the sequence.
In other words, it was about to take off.
Dantai Qingrun was naturally a person who knew the importance of things. After understanding the meaning of the list, she hurriedly cupped her hands and thanked sincerely, "Building Master and True Sovereign Darknorth, thank you for thinking so highly of me."
True Sovereign Darknorth nodded slightly, very satisfied with Dantai Qingrun's calmness. "You don't have to thank me. This is what you earned with your own ability."
"As for you," True Sovereign Darknorth looked at Lu Qingshan and waved his hand. An ancient but flashing Dao scroll flew out. "This scroll records a sword cultivation secret sword technique, [Heaven Suppression].
[Heaven Suppression] is a secret sword technique created by a Sword Immortal in his early years. It is also a rare secret sword technique that has been personally left behind by the Sword Immortal himself.
However, as a secret sword created by a Sword Immortal, the difficulty of practicing it is unusually high. It is difficult for those who are not talented in the Way of the Sword to master it. Therefore, this scroll has been in the building for a hundred years, but no Sword Cultivator has succeeded in practicing it.
Building Master wants you to give it a try. If you are still unable to master it after a hundred years, the building can buy this scroll at a fair price. "
Lu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.
The temptation of a secret sword to a Sword Cultivator was like a clear spring to a lost traveler in the desert, a feast to a hungry beggar, a temptation to …
Not to mention, this was a secret sword technique created by a Sword Immortal. Its meaning was even more different.
Sword Immortal was the title of a Sword Cultivator.
There were millions of Sword Cultivators in the world, but there were only a few who could obtain the title of Sword Immortal.
Just this title alone was enough to make Lu Qingshan, a Sword Cultivator, feel his heart beat faster. Not to mention, there was even the writing of a Sword Immortal.
Lu Qingshan could not hide his excitement. He opened the scroll and a page of neat words came into view.
"In this world, there are people who are born extraordinary.
Born in a family of mortals and merchants. When he was four years old, he started to practice the sword. When he was six years old, he was already outstanding.
When his family saw his talent, they invited a famous teacher to teach him. However, within a hundred miles, not a single Sword Master could last more than a month. All of them did not last more than half a month before there was nothing left to teach him.
Therefore, everyone called him the True Seed of the Way of the Sword.
Finally, when he was ten years old, he no longer had a teacher. He took nature as his teacher. He learned the posture of a hundred beasts and created his own sword technique.
Three years later, when he was still inexperienced, he wielded a three-foot wooden sword and challenged Jianghu Martial Artists. He won a hundred battles and became the leader of Jianghu Swordsmen.
When he was eighteen years old, he challenged a Martial Arts Grandmaster and killed him with one sword. Since then, he was invincible in the Jianghu Swordsmen.
In the vast Jianghu, it was lonely at the top. He could not find an opponent. He was originally lonely. However, he suddenly heard that there were Sword Cultivators and Cultivators in the world.
Therefore, he traveled a thousand miles to find the Taiyi Sword Sect, a top Sword Cultivator Sect in the Southern Mountain Range. He tried to join them.
However, his spiritual roots were not obvious. Moreover, he was already past the age limit of Foundation Establishment. In the end, he could not enter.
When he heard the Dao in the morning, he could die in the evening. When faced with a top Sword Cultivator's technique, he could not enter. Unable to let go, he challenged the Sword Sect's Cultivators with Jianghu Swordsmen's sword techniques.
It was originally a laughable move. However, who would have thought that one man and one sword would be as fast as lightning. He defeated three Qi Refinement Cultivators and one Foundation Establishment Cultivator in succession.
This move shocked everyone for a while. At that time, the Taiyi Sword Sect's new Elder, True Venerable Duxiang, was surprised by his natural Sword Technique. He was willing to give him a chance.
True Venerable Duxiang brought him to the Sword Stele of the Sword Sect. If he could comprehend half a Sword Technique within half a year, he could make an exception and accept him into the Sword Sect.
He stood motionless in front of the Sword Stele. After two days and two nights, he slashed out with his sword. The power of the Sword Technique was close to nothing. However, the Sword Intent was fully displayed. True Venerable Duxiang was shocked. He called it a Sword Bone of Heaven and accepted him into the Taiyi Sword Sect.
After this person's cultivation reached the peak, he perfected this Sword Technique into a Secret Sword Technique. No one knows his real name. Due to his shocking power, he temporarily called this Sword Technique Suppressing the Heavens.
As for this person, he was one of the Three Great Sword Immortals of the Human Race. He was invincible. His name was Li Qiubai. "
On the title page of the Taoist Slip was a detailed introduction of the Secret Sword Technique's background and origin.
Lu Qingshan continued reading.
On the second page, there were a few lines of extremely messy but boundlessly messy words that entered his eyes.
"What Suppressing the Heavens? What kind of name is this? It is just a casual slash of mine. It is simple and crude.
However, because it was the first sword I slashed out since I started cultivating, I did not forget to perfect it. I called it Sword One.
Everyone says that I am a genius in the Sword Path. What a bunch of nonsense — —
Isn't the Sword Path simple to begin with?
— — Li Qiubai. "
… …
So this is what the Sword Immortal left behind? The so-called Suppressing the Heavens name is just an empty title given by others?
Lu Qingshan was speechless.
At the same time, the explanation of the Secret Sword Technique in the Taoist Slip entered his eyes. A line of glowing words appeared in front of his eyes.
