Chapter 25: Stone Forest Sword Formation
Chao Yun Zhenjun of Yunshuang Peak was punished by the sect leader for accidentally injuring the spiritual pet of his great-grandmaster Xianyue and stealing the pass token of Yaori Peak. He was sent to Frost Blade and Wind Sword Cliff to practice hard for ten years!
As soon as this news spread, it caused quite a stir in Qingxiao Sect, not only because Master Chaoyun was the designated next sect leader and held a special status in Qingxiao Sect.
Moreover, because there is a natural formation on the Frost Blade and Wind Sword Cliff, any cultivator who goes there will have his cultivation suppressed at the Qi training stage.
The wind and frost on the cliff are as sharp as a knife blade, blowing continuously on the monks, making them feel as if they are being stabbed by a knife all the time.
However, this natural formation will only make the cultivator feel uncomfortable, but will not really harm the cultivator's body.
Therefore, the sect used the Frost Blade and Wind Sword Cliff as a means to punish disciples. Once a disciple made a serious mistake, he would be punished to practice hard on the cliff.
But in the past, the sect's punishment was to stay on the cliff for one or two months at most. It had never been like this, where a ten-year sentence was given!
People who were curious about the inside story secretly inquired and found out that the person who made the mistake was not Master Chao Yun, but his disciple Xie Mingzhu.
It was just that Master Chao Yun felt sorry for this disciple, so he took all the blame on himself, which made the sect master angry, so he simply punished his most valued disciple severely.
Naturally, this news also reached Xie Liuyin's ears. At that time, she was holding the little fox and removing the wooden board used to fix his legs.
Logically speaking, the little fox's injuries should have healed after he recovered some of his demonic power, but in order to avoid exposing his special identity, the little fox pretended to be injured and asked Xie Liuyin to take good care of him for a few days.
After hearing what happened to Ye Chaoyun, the little fox snorted in dissatisfaction.
It was clearly Xie Mingzhu who hurt him, so why should that woman not be punished at all and be let off just like that?
The little fox now has no idea how much he once liked this seemingly simple and beautiful girl. The most profound memory of Xie Mingzhu in his mind is the kick she gave him in the stomach.
Xie Liuyin was also dissatisfied with this result. This was the case in her previous life. Every time Xie Mingzhu did something wrong, there was always someone to help her settle it.
"Don't be angry, young master. Although Xie Mingzhu didn't receive any substantial punishment, Master Ye Feng is about to practice hard for ten years. Without the protection of his master, Xie Mingzhu's life will not be easy either." Ah Liu comforted him softly.
Xie Liuyin shook his head: "I'm not angry. After all, Xie Mingzhu and his apprentice have offended me thoroughly. Although I can't touch Ye Chaoyun for the time being, I can always find a chance to teach Xie Mingzhu a lesson."
These words made the little fox's heart tremble. He thought Xie Liuyin decided to confront Xie Mingzhu for his sake.
He shyly touched Xie Liuyin's face with his long and delicate kiss, as if he was kissing the girl in front of him.
At this moment, the little fox was even a little grateful to Xie Mingzhu. If he had not believed the other party's sweet words, how could he have met Xie Liuyin on the Sunrise Peak?
Xie Liuyin had no idea what the little fox was thinking. After Snowball fully recovered, she returned to her usual busy and hard training.
Seeing that the day of the new disciple competition was approaching, Xie Liuyin had to increase the amount of training once again.
Not only did she become proficient in using the right-hand sword, she also learned how to use the left-hand sword.
After practicing every day, he didn’t even have the strength to hold chopsticks. His hands were shaking so much that he had trouble holding up a tea bowl. In the end, he had to ask Ah Liu to help feed him.
Xie Liuyin practiced the two local-level skills desperately every day, draining the spiritual energy in his dantian several times each time.
Xie Liuyin experiences the feeling of exhausting all his strength, accumulating it again, and then exhausting it again several times a day.
In such a terrifying training, Xie Liuyin's cultivation level broke through one after another.
When there were only three days left before the competition, Xie Liuyin had already reached the fourth level of Qi training!
Even Xianyue, who considered himself a genius, was shocked by the rapid promotion speed.
Not to mention the lazy little fox. He stared at Xie Liuyin every day, fearing that she would destroy him one day.
Fortunately, Xie Liuyin's efforts were not in vain. Seeing that she had mastered the basic swordsmanship to perfection, Xianyue finally allowed her to practice the first level of the Merciless Sword Technique.
The Ruthless Sword Art has a total of nine levels, divided into two levels: mental skills and sword skills.
Xianyue did not let his cheap disciple learn swordsmanship right away, but asked her to memorize the mental method first.
Xie Liuyin had a good memory, and the Ruthless Sword Technique was very suitable for her.
She memorized all the first-level skills in a very short time. By the time she learned the sword skills, there were only a few days left before the competition.
Xie Liuyin wanted to learn the first level before the big competition and use this sword technique as a trump card.
After Xianyue learned of her thoughts, he called his disciple to him and comforted him, "Your current cultivation is already the highest among the new disciples. Even if others have some adventures, they cannot compete with you with your solid swordsmanship."
"The Ruthless Sword Art is not easy to learn, so don't push yourself too hard."
The old Xianyue would never have said this, but this cheap disciple was so obsessed with training that Xianyue was afraid that she would develop a demon in her heart in order to become stronger.
Xie Liuyin didn't hear the worry in Xianyue's words, instead he patted his chest and assured him: "Master, don't worry about me, I know what I am doing. This time, I will definitely win the championship and make you proud!"
After saying that, she turned around and went out with the wooden sword to continue practicing.
Xianyue, who was left behind, was only worried. Why was it that his disciple's laziness made people anxious, and his striving for excellence made people even more frightened?
This is to prevent Xie Liuyin from really getting into trouble with the Merciless Sword Technique, and also to help her better master the basic sword techniques.
When there were only one day and one night left before the competition, Xianyue took Xie Liuyin to a secluded stone forest on Yaori Peak.
The stone forest covers a large area and is filled with stone pillars of various shapes.
"Here are the thirty-three sword formations left by your master. I will open the first level for you today. As long as you can successfully pass the first level of the sword formation, you will have no rivals in this competition."
Xianyue pointed at the stone forest and spoke seriously to Xie Liuyin.
It was the first time that Xie Liuyin knew that there was such a place on the Sunrise Peak.
She had been around Sunrise Peak many times before, but she had never noticed it before.
"Master, please help me open the sword formation. While there is still time, I must go in and practice my sword skills." Xie Liuyin urged.
Xianyue did not respond, but took away the wooden sword from her hand: "Your master is a true sword god. If you want to pass his sword formation, a wooden sword is far from enough."
After saying that, Xianyue flipped his right hand, and the folding fan he was holding instantly turned into a snow-white sword.
I don't know what material the sword is made of, but the hilt is also snow-white with faint scale patterns on it, which looks very beautiful.
"This is the first sword I used. I will lend it to you for a while. Go ahead, and don't let me down!"
After handing the sword to Xie Liuyin, Xianyue raised his chin towards the stone forest, waiting to see her performance.
