The wooden building Lu Qingshan was assigned to had the same layout as Xia Daoyun's.
From the looks of it, these three wooden buildings should have been built by the same person.
As soon as he entered the building, a shadow darted out of Lu Qingshan's spirit beast pouch.
"Lu Qingshan, there's so much Spirit Qi here! It's about to overflow! I love it!" The Western Rat King had been intimidated by the powerful auras of the Sword Sect cultivators, so it didn't dare act rashly in the spirit beast pouch. But now, it could finally act as it pleased and express its surprise.
"This world of flowers is mesmerizing. The Sword Sect will never change!" The little rat demon sucked in a deep breath of air, feeling the lingering Spirit Qi in the air. It blinked its starry eyes, intoxicated.
Demon beasts needed to cultivate as well.
Given the amount of Spirit Qi in the Sword Sect, even a pig demon would make rapid progress if it cultivated here.
Not to mention, the Western Rat King's talent was quite good.
The little rat demon could already see itself leaping over the dragon's gate, cultivating successfully, and having a bright future ahead of it.
Lu Qingshan didn't dampen the little rat demon's enthusiasm. In fact, he even took the initiative to encourage it.
… …
"Sir, your master … is quite good." Qin Yitian's voice suddenly rang out in Lu Qingshan's mind. "Her aura gives me a similar feeling to the one you gave me back then."
Lu Qingshan wasn't surprised by this.
According to Qin Yitian's evaluation of him back then, he was a Dao Rank sword cultivator in the eyes of swords.
Xia Daoyun, who also had legendary talent, was naturally a Dao Rank sword cultivator as well. She might even be a bit higher.
It made sense for Qin Yitian to feel this way.
However, Qin Yitian seemed to have sensed Lu Qingshan's thoughts. She felt that she had been misunderstood and was a bit unhappy. "It's just a bit similar, but … she can't compare to you at all."
Beauty was in the eye of the beholder.
The Sword Spirit was the same. Out of thousands of people, who could compare to her Sword Master?
Lu Qingshan thought he could see Qin Yitian pouting unhappily at that moment.
He couldn't help but chuckle as he hurriedly comforted the aggrieved Sword Spirit.
.....
The little rat demon had already excitedly found a room in the wooden building and imprinted its mouse claws on the door. After declaring its sovereignty, it could not wait to begin to experience the feeling of cultivating in this environment with abundant spiritual energy.
Lu Qingshan sat alone in the hall, carefully studying the complete Ten Thousand Sword Art that Xia Daoyun had given him.
Previously, the reason why he had used his EXP to learn the Myriad Sword Technique was so that he could get a feel for the difference between the complete and incomplete Myriad Sword Technique.
With this feeling, as for the process after that, it was more of a quantitative accumulation process.
Lu Qingshan did not avoid accumulating and settling down in the Sword Sect for a period of time.
His improvement was too fast. Even though he comprehended things as quickly as snow on a stove, he was still in a daze.
But no matter how much he comprehended, it was still someone else's.
He needed some time to accumulate it into something that belonged to him.
Xia Daoyun had told him to look for her only after he had cultivated the Ten Thousand Sword Technique to six hundred swords.
Lu Qingshan was very obedient. Before that, he did not plan to disturb her.
It was mid-autumn when he first entered the Sword Sect. When the conditions were right, he naturally cultivated the Ten Thousand Sword Technique to the twentieth sword. Mid-Autumn was already about to end.
Lu Qingshan gradually grew impatient.
It wasn't that he was tired of the dullness of the practice. On the contrary, the process was not only not dull in his eyes, it was even extremely interesting.
What he was tired of was this type of peaceful, uneventful, and extremely inefficient sword practice.
From the perspective of modern people, they had to pursue the most efficient method before doing anything. There were very few people who worked so hard and foolishly.
The most efficient time for him to cultivate the Ten Thousand Sword Technique was during the half year in the Azure Province.
Why?
It was very simple. The Zhishou Building's formation gave him a great deal of pressure.
Only pressure could make him master the Ten Thousand Sword Technique faster.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Qingshan left Sword Cometh Peak and headed towards a short peak among the countless surrounding sword peaks.
The Green Cliff Courtyard on Green Cliff Peak.
...
The Green Cliff Courtyard was where the Sword Sect disciples fought.
The Sword Sect had a rule that before a new disciple broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, they were not allowed to leave the Sword Sect unless they were led by a senior brother or senior of the Nascent Soul stage.
The reason was very simple.
Although the Sword Sect was a Dao sect that dominated the eastern region, the human territory was so vast that there were countless cultivators with ulterior motives, both in the open and in the dark. The dangers were endless.
With the carefree and combative nature of sword cultivators, if they didn't possess a certain level of cultivation and left the Sword Sect to wander the world, then the chances of them perishing were extremely high.
Since ancient times, the Sword Sect had never had more than five thousand members.
The loss of every disciple was extremely painful for the Sword Sect.
Hence, in order to protect their disciples, the seniors of the Sword Sect had the foresight to set this rule.
However, everyone knew that sword cultivators were battle-hungry individuals, and were rather unrestrained by nature.
On the other hand, sword techniques were techniques of actual combat, so how could they be cultivated by bitterly sitting in an abode?
Thus, the Green Cliff Courtyard was born.
It was a place that the Sword Sect specially set up for their disciples below the Void Refinement realm.
The Green Cliff Courtyard was actually an extremely wide area at the top of the mountain.
Only such an extremely large space that was close to the natural environment could meet the requirements of sword cultivators for sword battles.
Before he reached the Green Cliff Courtyard, Lu Qingshan could see dozens of sword cultivators fighting in the huge venue from afar. Sword lights were split and sword shadows were continuous. It was very lively.
According to Ji Chuan, there were less than three hundred disciples below the Void Refinement realm in the Sword Sect.
Here, Lu Qingshan only took a glance and found that there were more than seventy sword cultivators.
This was already a quarter of the total number of people.
As expected, the reputation of sword cultivators for being aggressive was not a groundless accusation that was given to them.
Lu Qingshan thought so.
As soon as he reached the Green Cliff Courtyard, Lu Qingshan saw thousands of green bamboo swords lined up beside the cliff on the side of the courtyard.
There were all kinds of styles, and there were even sets of bamboo swords that could be divided into dozens of small swords.
These bamboo swords were really just bamboo swords. They were carved from the most ordinary bamboo and did not have the slightest spirituality.
These bamboo swords were the designated swords for sword battles on the Green Cliff Courtyard.
The reason was very simple. The moves of sword cultivators were often extremely dangerous, and sword cultivators had always been extremely competitive. This was especially so for the disciples of the Sword Sect.
If there were no restrictions, when two sword cultivators fought, they would probably be injured or killed.
The Sword Sect did not allow their disciples to kill each other and exhaust each other.
Therefore, they came up with this method.
The swords used during the sword battle had to be the bamboo swords on the Green Cliff Courtyard. This way, it could reduce the possibility of someone being unable to hold back and accidentally injuring a fellow disciple.
After all, how could the killing power of bamboo swords compare to the sword cultivators' natal swords?
The outcome of the sword battle was even simpler.
Whoever's bamboo sword was destroyed would be considered the loser of the sword battle. The two people should immediately stop and end the battle.
…..
Lu Qingshan casually picked a bamboo sword and stabbed it into the ground in front of him. Then, he stood there and waited quietly.
Just as Ji Chuan said, as a new disciple, he was at the bottom of the Sword Sect's cultivation.
At this moment, the sword cultivators on the Green Cliff Courtyard were all Nascent Soul cultivators. With his Golden Elixir cultivation, he seemed very out of the ordinary.
Under such circumstances, very few people would challenge him to a sword battle.
This was because a battle between a Nascent Soul cultivator and a Golden Elixir could not be considered a proper exchange of pointers. It would be more appropriate to call it 'sparring with swords'.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan was very honest. He assumed a sword battle posture, neither servile nor overbearing, and quietly waited to see if any of his senior brothers were prepared to challenge him.
His existence quickly attracted the attention of some cultivators.
Because his Golden Elixir cultivation was too conspicuous.
If they remembered correctly, at this moment in the Sword Sect, only the new disciples that Peak Master Hao Ran had brought back from the Seven Regions Dao Discussion were Golden Elixir cultivators.
Staring at this title, many Nascent Soul sword cultivators immediately became interested.
A tall and slender sword cultivator walked up to Lu Qingshan with a slender bamboo sword in hand. After sizing him up for a moment, he introduced himself. "I am He. You're the new disciple who entered the Sword Sect as the winner of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion?"
"Yes," Lu Qingshan replied politely.
He's eyes lit up as he asked curiously, "What's your ranking?"
"I'm not talented. I just happened to be the champion."
He clapped his hands lightly and laughed heartily. "I've long heard that the champion of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion will be joining our Sword Sect. I didn't expect it to be you.
Your actions can be considered as raising the name of our Sword Sect. Then I'll accompany you for a few rounds today. Just treat it as feeding your sword to a junior brother who just entered the Sword Sect. "
The conversation here also attracted the attention of a few sword cultivators who had just become free.
Affected by the title of champion of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion, they who were about to leave the Green Cliff Plateau immediately stopped in their tracks.
They were also curious as to what methods this disciple who'd won the Seven Regions Dao Discussion had.
He's figure retreated nearly 300 meters.
He was leaving some distance for Lu Qingshan to use his flying sword.
"Junior brother, shall we begin?" He asked from afar.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
"They're here!" He She shouted. He was purposely reminding Lu Qing.
At the same time, He's finger pointed. With a thought, the bamboo sword in front of him shot explosively towards Lu Qingshan. It even contained a layer of dense spiritual energy.
This was used to protect the bamboo sword.
Of course, He's not using his full strength. He's only using 60% of his strength. He's holding back.
After all, if he flipped Lu Qingshan over with a single strike, it would go against his original intentions.
However, what surprised him was that this good-looking junior brother didn't touch the bamboo sword on the ground in front of him. Instead, 20 threads of sword qi that faintly flickered with a blood-red luster suddenly swam out from his body.
He's talent was extraordinary, and his vision was also quite broad. When the bamboo sword he controlled collided with Lu Qingshan's 20 threads of sword qi, he understood Lu Qingshan's intentions.
This junior brother really did come to the Green Cliff Plateau to practice the sword.
He thought so in his heart, but because this junior brother had won face for the Sword Sect, He's attitude was still very friendly.
"Then I'll waste some time to practice the sword with you."
Thinking like this, He's once again held back 30% of his strength and clashed with Lu Qingshan's flying sword-shaped sword qi threads.
After exchanging two more blows, He's heart was filled with surprise.
The power of this junior brother's sword qi threads was actually extremely condensed and sharp.
This time, He's heart was immediately set on it.
After seriously observing for a while, he discovered the secret behind it.
Merging sword intent into sword qi.
This junior brother actually started to study this during the Golden Elixir?
In order to achieve this, one had to have an extremely high level of attainment in sword intent and sword qi.
Normally speaking, this requirement shouldn't be something that the Golden Elixir Daoist could achieve.
"As expected of the champion of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion. You really do have some ability." He's interest was suddenly piqued, and he slightly increased his strength.
This time, it was already somewhat strenuous for Lu Qingshan to withstand.
However, what surprised He was that in just a few breaths' time, Lu Qingshan pointed into the distance. Three more threads of sword qi threads that contained extremely pure sword intent flew out shakily and joined the battle.
.....
In the end, Lu Qingshan still lost. However, under He's meticulous care, this sword duel lasted for almost two hours.
When it ended, he had already perfectly condensed and controlled 23 threads of sword qi.
As expected, pressure was the best catalyst for improvement.
Lu Qingshan walked towards He's and thanked him politely. "Thank you for your guidance, senior brother."
He naturally knew that this sword duel lasted for two hours because He's seen through his intentions and was cooperating with him.
"Junior brother is talented," He's said seriously.
"Senior brother, you flatter me. Thank you for showing mercy." Lu Qingshan wasn't stingy with his thanks.
He's nodded at Lu Qingshan, indicating that he understood.
Then, he turned around and rode on his sword, turning into a beam of sword light. His figure quickly disappeared among the many sword peaks.
"Junior brother, I'll play with you for a while. I …" After He's retreated, another Nascent Soul senior brother said with great interest.
He was one of the cultivators who had watched the entire battle between Lu Qingshan and He's sword duel.
"Thank you, senior brother." Lu Qingshan couldn't ask for more.
This was the effect of fame.
He, who had entered the Sword Sect with the title of the champion of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion, had never met these senior brothers before. Yet, they already had a good impression of him.
Then, at this time, it fermented and came into play.
…
Lu Qingshan's life in the Sword Sect officially began in this strange manner.
The Green Cliff Plateau became his sword training ground. His good reputation caused his senior brothers to be willing to play with him for a while when they had nothing better to do.
Of course, the more important reason for this was that not only was Lu Qingshan constantly improving, but he was also improving rapidly. Every time they "dueled" with Lu Qingshan, they would feel refreshed.
It was this feeling that prolonged their novelty, allowing them to continue this activity for a long time.
This was because these Nascent Soul senior brothers were also very curious to what extent this junior brother would improve in the next duel.
Just like that, a month passed. Sparring with this junior brother who practiced the Myriad Sword Art had actually developed into a tradition in the Green Cliff Plateau.
The question of "guess how many sword moves that junior brother Lu improved the Myriad Sword Art to today" had also become an interesting topic that these 200 Sword Sect disciples often talked about.
On this day, Lu Qingshan had just sparred with a Nascent Soul senior brother in the late stage when he suddenly heard a soft exclamation that seemed to be far away yet close at the same time.
Lu Qingshan raised his head. When he saw who it was, he hurriedly said respectfully, "Greetings, senior brother Ji."
The person who came was the Sword Sect's eldest senior brother, Ji Chuan, who had led Lu Qingshan into the sect.
Over the past few days, Lu Qingshan had gained a deeper understanding of this Eldest Senior Brother from the mouths of his senior brothers.
Who would have thought that this kind and amiable eldest senior brother was actually ranked first on the Yellow Board and was invincible in the Four Realms.
"I just happened to hear that you were practicing swordsmanship in the Green Cliff Plateau, so I came to take a look." Ji Chuan explained.
"Thank you, senior brother." Lu Qingshan cupped his hands and thanked him.
"I have already observed your situation for a while.
Your Slaughter Sword Intent is very strong. Even if the standard is added to the Nascent Soul sword cultivator, it is still the same. "
Ji Chuan went straight to the point and said, "It's a pity that your Slaughter Sword Intent is too obvious and focuses on the appearance of power.
The result is that once the Sword Intent is released, the killing intent will surge, as if telling the enemy that I am going to use a big move on you, so that they will be prepared.
The Sword Intent should be kept in your flying sword at any time and place, and not spit it out, gathering and dispersing at your will … "
Lu Qingshan was silent.
Indeed, his Sword Intent was very high, but the problem was that he did not know how to use it.
When he used the Sword Intent before, it was more about recklessness.
It was rough and simple to attach it to the sword, and then explode.
But this way of using it, although it was fierce, it was monotonous and lacked flexibility, and it was easy for people to be prepared.
Only by condensing the Sword Intent in the sword, holding it in and not spitting it out, and then exploding it when it was time to explode, the lethality would be stronger.
What Ji Chuan taught was not some magical power, but some understanding and usage of the Sword Intent.
This was something that Lu Qingshan had never seen in the game in his previous life.
So, he could only learn it from the beginning.
