[Point 3: Penglai Yuqing Temple, Tiangong Workshop. ]

[Character identity: Luo Yan. ]

[The Mirror Flower and Water Moon template is overwritten, and time travel is in progress. 】

The time point for Luo Yan was still before the Baiyujing competition began.

The seven people who are highly expected by Yuqing Temple are affectionately called "Seven Sons of Penglai" in the temple. They are busy training and strengthening themselves every day.

Master Xuandu still came to inspect every now and then, calling each person in turn for individual instruction, mainly using the experience and wisdom of a high-level cultivator to point out the shortcomings in their combat methods.

Compared to the mysticistic headmaster of Kunlun Ziwei and the dignified and self-conceited headmaster of Shushan Yujing, the head of Yuqing Temple was not very arrogant. When he spoke, he acted like a amiable senior teacher rather than a serious superior.

It's just that his skill in getting excited is really amazing.

Luo Yan had heard him say in private more than once, "The one I have high hopes for in this competition is you, Luo Yan."

At that time, I felt a little touched and guilty. After all, I didn't try my best in the future competition and ended up ranking fourth to sixth.

As a result, when Shi Liuli came back and told him about it, he realized that this old man said the same thing to everyone, and it was truly words of encouragement that came out of his mouth.

As the day of the competition approached, Miss Shi became more and more nervous, fearing that she would be eliminated in the first round and not even make it into the top twelve of Baiyujing, and would embarrass Elder Shiding when she returned.

Luo Yan, who already knows the future, has full confidence in Shi Liuli.

Putting aside other things, just relying on your unreasonable luck, as long as you keep getting byes and advancing, you can easily advance to the top 12.

Of course, that’s the limit of your luck. After all, the top twelve are full of monsters and perverts. You can’t beat them no matter who you draw.

Don’t think too much, making it to the top 12 is a victory!

Shi Liuli naturally didn't know, she just pulled Luo Yan to practice swordsmanship non-stop - the reason was that Master Xuandu had reminded her many times that "your swordsmanship is your weak point."

To be precise, Miss Shi's Zi Ji Han Yuan Sword is of a very high rank, and she also has a wide-range Taoist method like the "Secret Art of the Southern Dipper Galaxy", as well as an offensive and defensive magic weapon like the "Taiwei Gouchen Yaopo Xingsha". Her strength in all aspects is indeed not weak.

Her only concern is her lack of experience in fighting. If the opponent attacks with swordsmanship, she won't even have the chance to release her Taoism or activate her magic weapon under such high pressure. All the advantages mentioned above will become invisible and she will be at the mercy of others.

You must know that among all the magic, swordsmanship is the fastest! Whether you are the king of magic weapons or the master of Taoism, at least you can't be too weak in swordsmanship, otherwise, just when you start to make a sword gesture and gather your true energy, the opponent's flying sword will directly hit your forehead, and then you will be completely defeated. What else can you say?

"Junior brother!" Miss Shi was tired of practicing, so she sat down next to Luo Yan during the break and hugged his arm skillfully, her eyes twinkling, "Is there any way..."

Her action was so familiar that Luo Yan instantly knew what Miss Shi meant.

What you want to ask is definitely "Is there any way to quickly master swordsmanship?"

And as long as Luo Yan utters even a word of no, his arm will be clamped by Xiaoman's thing, and then swung left and right and twisted, and he will chant "Just help me" three times. It is indeed a special attack against men, with huge lethality.

Although Luo Yan has not figured out the most crucial point, whether Miss Shi really has feelings for him or is just a natural green tea person and doesn't realize it, this does not prevent him from making a skillful response.

First, he quietly pulled his arm out of Shi Liuli's arms, and then Luo Yan smiled slowly and said:

"Sister, you want to improve your swordsmanship, but you come to me for help. Isn't that wishful thinking? My swordsmanship is not that great either."

"What do you mean?" Shi Liuli blinked, and subconsciously concluded that Luo Yan must be trying to fool her again, so she grabbed his arm again and prepared to start chanting.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yan suddenly asked:

"Where did you get this sword, Senior Sister?"

"Of course it's from the last secret realm of Kuacang Mountain..." Shi Liuli had just said half a sentence when he suddenly came to his senses.

The secret realm of Kuacang Mountain is a typical "heritage-type secret realm" that contains the Taoist traditions left behind by three ancient immortal cultivators.

Among them, the "Huayang Damao Temple" was specifically designed to teach swordsmanship.

Instead of practicing blindly with my junior fellow disciples here, why not go to Huayang Damao Temple to receive guidance from the immortal? That's an immortal!

Even if Master Xuandu was here, he would not dare to say that his guidance was definitely better than that of an immortal!

Thinking of this, Miss Shi immediately made up her mind.

Go to the secret realm of Kuacang Mountain to sprint through some swordsmanship!

Of course, I have to bring Junior Brother Luo along.

Luo Yan was dragged away by her without any explanation, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Shi Liuli is indeed the typical young lady who "doesn't know what propriety is". She is unscrupulous when making requests, but never hesitates when giving benefits. It really makes people sigh, "Where in the world can we find such a precious thing?"

You know, although it was Luo Yan who proposed to take her to find the secret realm of Kuacang Mountain, in the end it was only she who found the entrance to the secret realm.

According to the unwritten rules of the cultivation world, this secret realm belongs to Miss Shi alone.

However, considering that it was Luo Yan who provided the clues, he needed to be given some additional compensation and benefits - it could be actual monastic supplies, or sharing the information about the entrance to the secret realm with him, but he certainly could not refuse to give them.

Otherwise, who will play with you in the future?

It had been such a long time before she remembered to take him to that secret place, which showed that Miss Shi had no concept of "reciprocity" in her mind.

(Thinking about it this way, after the crisis of 100,000 gods and demons attacking Penglai ended, Elder Shi Ding gave the Heavenly Crafts Bag to me. On the one hand, it might be a disguised compensation, and on the other hand, he probably saw through his daughter's innocent character, and without Luo Yan's care, she would inevitably be in trouble.)

There is nothing much to say, I can only be moved!

I must repay Miss Shi in the future Baiyujing competition!

The two of them flew on their swords, left Penglai Island, and followed the coast of the East China Sea to the vicinity of Kuacang Mountain.

Compared to the last time I visited who knows how many years ago, Kuacang Mountain is now more populated. Groups of pilgrims stay temporarily in Jinyun Temple, burn incense, or even go for an outing nearby. The mountain is bustling everywhere.

When Luo Yan and Shi Liuli arrived above Ruan Lang Pavilion, they saw several young masters sitting in the pavilion, drinking wine and reciting poetry, with maids and servants serving them all around.

Seeing the two men falling from the sky, the maids and servants were so frightened that they all prostrated themselves on the ground. Several young masters looked at each other, and suddenly came to their senses, and prostrated themselves one after another, saying excitedly:

"Greetings, Immortal!"

The reason is simple: in the coastal area of ​​Yangzhou, the existence of Penglai Yuqing Temple is no secret.

Many wealthy families would consider sending their children to Penglai to try their luck at finding immortality... At this moment, seeing the two men coming on swords, several young masters from wealthy families immediately recognized them as monks from Penglai and were overjoyed.

Luo Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, he just threw down a clean bottle and said:

"We have borrowed this place, please leave quickly."

One of them wanted to say something (probably nothing more than saying he didn't want the elixir, but only wanted to be their disciple), but his companions were tactful and saw that the two immortals didn't want to waste time talking to them, so they quickly put away the purgatory, held his arms, and told the servants and maids to leave quickly.

Luo Yan drove away the outsiders, and Shi Liuli did not take it seriously. After all, there is a difference between immortals and mortals.

She just excitedly dragged Luo Yan and said:

"The words carved somewhere on this rock wall are the entrance to the secret realm. Last time, I entered by mistake because you got me drunk and I saw the words carved there by chance!"

"Sister! Don't say such nonsense." Luo Yan was immediately shocked. "What do you mean by being drunk by me? If I hadn't suggested that you follow Yang An's example and drink a little wine, how could you have mistakenly entered that secret place and benefited so much in the end?"

In fact, you still have to remember my kindness and repay me.

"Oh, I'm not blaming you!" Shi Liuli waved her hands quickly, stamped her feet anxiously, and said, "I just... just... oh, why don't you understand!"
