Chapter 43: Spirit Sword Riot
Liuyun Island can be said to be the most special place in the entire Qingxiao Sect.
This is a floating island located on the Yuexin Lake in the center of Qingxiao Sect.
Most of the floating island is occupied by the Sword Washing Pool, which is connected to the Yuexin Lake below. There is a waterfall falling from the island, like a white silk hanging from the sky.
This scene, together with the glow of the trial formation in the back mountain and several other locations in Qingxiao Sect, are collectively known as the "Four Great Scenic Spots of Qingxiao".
Xie Liuyin had been fortunate enough to see several other beautiful sights in his previous life.
The only exception was the Yuexin Lake Waterfall, which was the first time Xie Liuyin saw it.
Yuexin Lake has a special location. It is said that the entrance to the largest spiritual vein of Qingxiao Sect is hidden under Yuexin Lake.
Therefore, a very powerful formation was set up around Yuexin Lake, and law enforcement teams patrolled the area day and night.
If anyone dares to approach casually, the law enforcement team can kill them immediately without asking any reasons.
So Xie Liuyin hung the pass around his waist early in the morning, and hung it very conspicuously, for fear that the law enforcement team would not see it and kill him without saying a word.
Fortunately, the sect leader had already notified the law enforcement team, and Xie Liuyin was going to enter the sword washing pool to look for the sword today.
As soon as she approached, before she could say anything, the monks from the law enforcement team took the initiative to make way for her.
Xie Liuyin hurriedly thanked the two senior sisters who made way for her, and then stepped into the teleportation array to Liuyun Island with excitement.
Xie Liuyin felt a sudden blur in front of his eyes, and he felt a little dizzy.
By the time she came to her senses, the scene in front of her had changed from the crescent-shaped lake to a wide pool.
The second elder Jing Wenlan, dressed in white and looking like an immortal, was floating cross-legged on the water, seemingly meditating.
After seeing this scene, Xie Liuyin swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
For some reason, she felt like she didn't want to disturb the tranquility.
Fortunately, the Second Elder had a strong spiritual sense and discovered Xie Liuyin's presence early on. After she slowly adjusted her breathing for a while, she came out of her meditation state.
The tall woman suddenly opened her eyes, and the next moment she appeared in front of Xie Liuyin from the center of the sword washing pool.
Jing Wenlan's appearance is not as gentle as the fifth elder Feng Hongqiu. Between her brows there is a firmness that belongs to a sword cultivator.
"Are you Junior-Master Xianyue's new disciple, Xie Liuyin?" Jing Wenlan looked at the girl in front of him carefully.
Even though this was just a little girl at the fourth level of Qi Refining, Jing Wenlan saw a faint sword intent from her.
Because of the need to guard the Sword Washing Pool, Jing Wenlan has rarely left Liuyun Island since he took over the responsibility from his master.
Although she had heard about Xianyue accepting disciples before, she had never actually seen it. When she saw Jing Wenlan today, she had a better impression of Xie Liuyin. To be able to cultivate a trace of sword intent in just a few months, the character of this cultivator must be good.
This was also the first time Xie Liuyin had met the legendary Sword Master of Qingxiao Sect. She bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Second Elder. I am Xie Liuyin, the junior."
"I already know your purpose, but before you enter the Sword Washing Pool to look for swords, I need to remind you a few things. The swords here have already developed intelligence. They have their own ideas and will choose their own masters."
"As long as they are willing, you can take away even the sword of the founder. If they are unwilling, you must not force them."
Xie Liuyin could hear the hint of advice in the other person's words, so she obediently responded with a "yes", then slowly exhaled a breath and simply dived into the calm lake.
After entering the water, the robes on Xie Liuyin's body quickly took effect, using spiritual power to help her prop up a small air ball.
The moment Xie Liuyin opened his eyes and looked at the bottom of the pool, he felt his heart was deeply shocked.
Beneath the calm water surface is the deep and vast bottom of the pool, with a tall stone tablet standing upright in the middle of the pool.
Xie Liuyin's gaze passed through the layers of waves and vaguely saw the words "Sword Tomb" written on the stone tablet.
Taking his eyes off the stone tablet, Xie Liuyin quickly saw the densely packed and various spiritual swords scattered all over the bottom of the pool.
Logically speaking, these spiritual swords should have rusted and rotted after being submerged in the water for so long. But for some reason, the swords Xie Liuyin saw were even brighter than those on the shore.
Trying hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, Xie Liuyin circulated his spiritual power and sank to the bottom of the pool.
Before coming here, Xie Liuyin had already thought about what kind of sword she wanted to choose. However, when she actually fell into the sword washing pool, she suddenly became less sure about her choice.
Just when Xie Liuyin was thinking about which sword to start with, a short sword suddenly jumped out from the corner and flew around Xie Liuyin several times.
It looked very excited, and kept rubbing the hilt of the sword against Xie Liuyin, as if it really wanted to follow her.
Xie Liuyin could not hide her surprise. She thought she would have to work hard for a long time before she could win the favor of a certain sword. She did not expect that she would be chosen so quickly.
She was delighted and just as she was about to reach out to grasp the dagger, before she could touch it, the dagger, which was trembling with excitement, was violently knocked away by a heavy sword.
Xie Liuyin paused. This heavy sword looked beautiful, but it was not suitable for Xie Liuyin.
She pursed her lips, still thinking about how to refuse politely, when the third, fourth, fifth... countless swords came up.
They seemed angry that the person they liked was snatched away, and they started fighting among themselves without even asking Xie Liuyin's opinion!
Especially the first short sword that ran out was maliciously targeted by most of the spirit swords. Not only was it severely beaten, but it was also squeezed into a corner and was trying every means to get close to Xie Liuyin.
There was also a scarlet sword, which seemed to be the leader among the spirit swords. As soon as it came on the field, it knocked away several swords closest to Xie Liuyin, and occupied the position of Xie Liuyin's right hand very forcefully.
From time to time, it would rub against the back of Xie Liuyin's hand. Xie Liuyin even felt that it was saying to him: Human, what are you waiting for, hold me quickly!
The fight between the spirit swords made quite a noise. Jing Wenlan, who was guarding on the shore, saw that the originally calm water surface suddenly became active, with waves rising and falling continuously.
If there weren't formations protecting the Sword Washing Pool, the water would have probably spilled out of Liuyun Island.
Fortunately, Jing Wenlan could sense the movement of the spirit sword in the pool, otherwise she would have suspected that Xie Liuyin had gone in to blow up the pool.
However, with so many spirit swords rioting at the same time, Jing Wenlan realized that something was wrong. She stared at the pool with a flickering look in her eyes.
"When a cultivator chooses his natal sword, it is not the person who chooses the sword, but the sword that chooses the person. A person's spiritual roots and physique are different, so the sword that suits him is also different. Generally speaking, even if a person has a talent for swordsmanship, only a few swords will choose him."
"The fact that so many swords are fighting for him means that he can adapt to all kinds of swords. Such a person..."
Jing Wenlan didn't say anything else. She suddenly remembered that Qingxiao Sect had once produced such a person who caused countless spirit swords to riot.
The other party was none other than the founder of their Qingxiao Sect, and also the first person born with sword bones in the history of the cultivation world!
