"I'm still missing something." Lu Qingshan slowly opened his eyes in the bamboo house.
He grasped the light in his mind that had yet to fade away and comprehended the True Meaning of Destruction for another ten days. In the end, he still could not cross the threshold.
After calming his mind and adjusting his breathing, Lu Qingshan slowly stood up.
He first habitually took out the sword token to see if anyone had sent him a sword message during his seclusion.
Normally, no.
This was because although he had been in the Sword Sect for three years, his relationship with the others was extremely ordinary except for Ji Chuan.
However, this time, there was a light flickering on the sword token.
Someone is looking for me? Who could it be?
Lu Qingshan was a little surprised.
As he thought of this, he had already probed with his divine sense.
There was actually not only one sword letter, but two.
The first sword letter was from Uncle Master Hope Elephant.
It was concise and comprehensive, asking him to go to Hua Ying Peak when he was free after his seclusion.
Although the sword letter did not specify the specific matter, Lu Qingshan could roughly guess the purpose of Hope Elephant's summons.
The second sword letter was from Snow Peak.
He and Snow Peak could only be considered acquaintances, so Lu Qingshan was quite surprised to receive a letter from Snow Peak.
The contents of the sword letter were very brief. Snow Peak said that the Sword Sect's subordinates had sent news that half a month ago, near the southernmost Changbai Mountain of the Lan State, someone had found traces of a 'Golden Jade Temple' that had turned into a spirit.
The Golden Jade Temple was an extremely precious and supreme spiritual medicine.
This kind of spiritual medicine was born from heaven and earth. Since its birth, its body nurtured a natural mystery.
Once this spiritual medicine was consumed, one could obtain a lot of mysterious information and mysteries that existed within the Golden Jade Temple.
According to the rumors, the mystery that this Golden Jade Temple nurtured belonged to the mystery of karma.
As the saying goes, one can comprehend by analogy. If Lu Qingshan was able to capture this Golden Jade Well and consume it to obtain the profound profundities within it, it might be possible for his Karma True Intent to be touched and improved.
Other than this rumor, there was nothing else in the sword letter.
Xue Hanfeng didn't mention whether the news was true or false, whether it was credible, or whether it had encouraged Lu Qingshan to go treasure hunting.
These things should have been left to Lu Qingshan to analyze and judge by himself. He was only responsible for passing on the message.
Of course, although Freezing Snow Peak did not say it explicitly, Lu Qingshan understood that this sword letter also revealed Freezing Snow Peak's intention to befriend him.
After all, it was common knowledge that he needed karma true meaning treasures to improve his karma true meaning.
Although swordsmen did not like flattery, it did not mean that they were antisocial.
In fact, Xue Hanfeng was not the only one in the Sword Sect who wanted to befriend Lu Qingshan, who had a heaven-defying performance in the dojo competition and ranked first on the Yellow Board.
"Interesting …" However, when Lu Qingshan looked at this sword message, a strange expression appeared on his face.
After pondering for a while, he had an idea in his heart. He kept the sword talisman, stood up and flew towards Hua Ying Peak on his sword.
.....
On Hua Ying Peak, in the Traversing Hall.
Lu Qingshan was able to meet Hope Elephant.
As one of the most senior swordsmen in the Sword Sect, other than the peak masters, Hope Elephant was like the Empty Mountain Daoist. They were highly respected in the Sword Sect and were respected by the swordsmen who were not stingy.
The two of them had different responsibilities. The Empty Mountain Daoist was in charge of external affairs, while Hope Elephant was in charge of internal affairs.
The so-called internal affairs were the disciples' rewards and punishments.
Lu Qingshan did not think that he had done anything wrong, so why would he be punished?
Moreover, if he were to be punished, why would he be so polite and ask him to come again when he was free?
Therefore, it was obvious that Hope Elephant's purpose in calling him here was to reward him.
And that was the truth.
"I called you here this time to reward you for your performance in the dojo competition," Hope Elephant said calmly.
Lu Qingshan had defended the Sword Sect's glory in the dojo competition. This was his duty, and it was voluntary. When he attacked, he did not have any ulterior motives.
However, this was only Lu Qingshan's thought. The Sword Sect would not be so petty.
The Sword Sect had always adhered to the principle that there was nothing justified in the world.
Only by establishing emotional ties between the sect and its disciples would it be indestructible. In order to establish emotional ties, there could not be a lack of benefits.
Since you, Lu Qingshan, have rendered meritorious service to the Sword Sect, then the Sword Sect will surely reward you.
There were a total of three rewards from the Sword Sect.
First, Lu Qingshan's quota in the Knowledge Hall would be increased by 500 spirit crystals.
This was a reward for authority.
As the Sword Sect's treasure trove, the Knowledge Hall's quota was self-evident. It was also extremely difficult to increase it.
Most of the Sword Sect's disciples had access to it by increasing their cultivation.
The Golden Elixir realm had a quota of five spirit crystals. The Nascent Soul realm had an additional quota of 50 spirit crystals on top of the original quota.
Lu Qingshan had already used up his quota of five spirit crystals in order to exchange for the spiritual materials for peach blossom advancement. He even asked for some quotas from Ji Chuan.
This time, he was directly rewarded with 500 spirit crystals. In addition to the 50 spirit crystals that he should have after advancing to the Nascent Soul realm, as well as the 100 spirit crystals that he was rewarded for being the first on the Yellow Board, his quota had suddenly increased to a terrifying number that many Void Refinement realm sword cultivators in the sect could not compare to.
For any disciple of the Sword Sect, the quota in the Knowledge Hall was a necessity because everyone needed spiritual materials to improve the quality of their natal swords. Lu Qingshan was the same.
Therefore, he could not be more satisfied with this reward.
Second, the sect's Hidden Sword Sheath would be opened to Lu Qingshan without restriction.
The Hidden Sword Sheath was actually the Sword Sect's library. It stored all kinds of jade slips that the Sword Sect had collected and plundered over tens of thousands of years.
The contents of these jade slips were complicated. Among them, there were sword techniques, escape techniques, auxiliary spells, customs, records of strange beasts … In short, there was a rich variety.
Of course, what attracted the Sword Sect's disciples the most was the hidden sword techniques.
The Sword Sect had been passed down for tens of thousands of years and had produced many outstanding sword cultivators. These talented people would more or less leave one or two signature sword techniques in the Sword Pavilion.
These sword techniques were refined and refined by the seniors through countless battles. They were the quintessence that the seniors had constantly improved upon.
Of course, there were also sword techniques plundered from the outside world. However, compared to the sword techniques left behind by the sect's cultivators, there were not many of these foreign sword techniques.
However, this was not the reason why the Sword Sect's cultivators did not kill many people outside, but because the Sword Sect's requirements for sword techniques were extremely strict.
If the sword technique was not strong enough, it was not qualified to enter the Sword Pavilion at all … If it was strong enough, would it still be plundered by the Sword Sect?
In short, the Hidden Sword Sheath was an extremely important place for the Sword Sect's disciples.
As the saying went, "The master leads the way, but the cultivation depends on the individual". Why did the Sword Sect stipulate that once a disciple advanced to the Void Refinement realm, he had to leave the main peak and choose his own peak?
This represented the Sword Sect's cultivation philosophy. From the Void Refinement realm onwards, one was an independent sword cultivator. The path of cultivation in the future was also entirely up to oneself.
However, although cultivation depended on the individual, one could not be reckless in the end. Stones from other mountains could be used to polish jade. When that time came, the Hidden Sword Sheath's importance would be revealed.
"Although the Hidden Sword Sheath has released the restrictions on you, you must remember not to bite off more than you can chew. You must have your own self-control." When announcing the second reward, Xi Xiang could not help but nag.
"I understand." Lu Qingshan nodded.
The last reward was much more direct, 300 spirit crystals.
…
Even with Lu Qingshan's wealth, he was still secretly shocked by the Sword Sect's generous reward this time.
However, it made sense when he thought about it carefully.
First of all, for the Dao Sect, the glory of the sect was above everything else.
He defended the glory of the Sword Sect, so the reward would definitely not be bad.
Secondly, the victory of the dojo competition would bring about the subsequent impact that the Snail Dojo would fall into the Eastern Region.
Once this dojo was built, it would bring immeasurable benefits to the Sword Sect, both visible and invisible.
Since the Sword Sect had obtained such a huge benefit, they should share some of it with Lu Qingshan, who had contributed greatly to the sect.
Finally, the Sword Sect was extremely generous to its disciples.
After all, resources should be used on the disciples, and the number of disciples in the sect was so small, so why should they be stingy?
Should they leave the resources to rot and turn into ashes, or should they leave it for the new year?
The reason why the Sword Sect usually limited the subsidies given to the disciples was not because they could not bear to part with them, but because giving too much for free would make the disciples feel that it was natural, and they would lose their sense of gratitude to the Sword Sect. It would also make them lose their fighting spirit — if they were already so "carefree", what was the point of working hard?
This was not unfathomable for no reason, but it was true to the human heart.
The human heart had always been like this.
After giving out the rewards decided by the sect, Xi Xiang saw that Lu Qingshan had no intention of leaving, and frowned. "Is there anything else?"
Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "Martial Uncle is wise, I do have something to report …"
