Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Go out and promote it like this
So what if Huai Lu gave up one hand? The Sword Master's disciple actually put down his sword and spoke so casually that everyone in the audience admired him!
Judging from the time of practice, Huailu is older than Bailu. But Bailu is so arrogant that he would not give in to the other party at all and even drew his sword. He is worthy of being a disciple of Xuanshan and lives up to the style of a famous family.
Only the Xuanshan disciples who knew Bai Lu well had a strange look in their eyes, but they could not say anything: Bai Lu, you are really worthy of being me...
Liang Mangu tried to cover his face, fearing that he would laugh out loud. He noticed that others were looking at him, so he covered his mouth and said, "Woo woo...Brother Bai..."
The person next to him: You don’t have to cry.
Although the two sides in this competition are not the most advanced in cultivation, they represent the two major sects, Xuandu Taoist Sect and Xuanshan Immortal Sect. It also involves the grudges between the two major cultivators in the past competition. It is also the first time that the disciple of Juntian Sword Master has appeared... Well, he appeared a long time ago and the attention is still very high, but everyone just found out his identity.
The organizer, Yujing Palace's Hengyang Daojun, couldn't help but say to the disciple beside him: "I want to take a good look at what Huo Jianzun's disciple is capable of."
Anyway, he was deeply impressed by Bai Lu's ability to eat fruits and vegetables crazily in Yujing Palace... I wonder how they will fight.
Ning Yanhu sighed and said with a strange expression: "Please stop here."
You Yue glanced at Ning Yanhu. He could see that Ning Yanhu treasured this junior brother...or the whole Xuanshan was protecting Bai Lu. No wonder, he was quite likable and his decorations were selling well these days.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to stop at the right point.
Not only did You Yue not stop there, he also said loudly: "Don't take it lightly."
——After suffering a great loss from Liang Mangu before, although Bai Lu looks innocent, it is not easy for her to hide her identity until now. She cannot relax even after unsheathing her sword.
When he said this, people felt that You Yue was stingy, and there was booing from the audience, but You Yue remained calm.
…
Huai Lu said politely, "Daoyou, please go first."
Bai Lu faced it with his bare hands. Although his hair was tied up, he still had a string of dazzling pearls around his waist and many small things in his hands. If he moved a little, they would jingle. He looked more like a rich young master than a poor swordsman. He was completely different from the Taoist priest opposite him.
Bai Lu moved, her sleeves fluttering, and she looked even more elegant. She even said shyly, "You go first."
Huai Lu slowly spun his raised palm and drew a Bagua in the air, leaving behind several pale golden arm shadows, which instantly transformed into an eight-armed shape!
The knowledgeable cultivators were all shocked. This was a strange phenomenon that only occurred when Xuan Du Dao Sect could cultivate to the extreme in the first realm. Huai Lu’s talent was probably not lower than You Yue’s.
Not only that, Huailu cultivated this strange appearance into one of his magical powers. When the eight arms behind him were spread out, there were eyes in the palms. If one looked closely, ordinary people would be shaken and feel dizzy at the least, or even meet their inner demons at the worst.
Unfortunately, the one he was facing was Bai Lu. As a senior wizard, Bai Lu was of course very strong in mental power. Moreover, he also practiced Taoism and had first-rate magical resistance.
At this moment, he seemed to be a very skilled swordsman. He was unmoved and even raised his hand, signaling Huailu again that he could formally attack - so what's wrong with letting you make the first move?
Huailu closed his eyes slightly, his brows seemed to be wrinkled, and his eight arms gathered golden light and transformed into a lion in front of him. The lion roared, which seemed to be both compassionate and intimidating to kill the enemy.
"The Suanni frowns and groans!"
It is one of the unique magical powers of Xuan Du Taoist Sect, and Huai Lu is very skilled in using it.
Bai Lu frowned, and to others it looked like she was finding this situation difficult.
In fact, it is not.
Bailu: You named the lion behind my back again, didn’t you?!
Suanni raised his left foot, as if to represent Huailu's intention, and looked hesitantly at Bailu, who had nothing in her hands. Then, under the spell, his body grew bigger and bigger, making Bailu look extremely small. It did not stop until it was about to reach the invisible barrier of this secret realm.
The onlookers were all worried, wondering how the sword cultivator would respond without a sword.
Then let's try my latest academic research. Bai Lu looked up at the huge Suanni. Well, although it was big, compared with the oversized birds he had seen before, it was not enough to make him suffer from gigantic phobia.
Bai Lu noticed that the lion was not moving. He didn't know whether Huai Lu wanted to give way or was reading a line, but he was already prepared.
Bai Lu raised her sleeves, and several talismans flew out in the blink of an eye!
Talisman paper?
Xuanshan disciples are used to seeing it, but it is the first time that sword talismans appear in the Red Dust Trial Competition!
The talisman paper contained surging water energy, so deep that it almost didn't seem like something that could be found in the Foundation Establishment Realm. But if Bai Lu hadn't made it himself, how could he have brought it into the competition arena? This was made by Bai Lu after Liuxian Gorge. He tried to compress more and more complex water energy into it, borrow the power of nature, and surpass his own limits to mobilize more water spiritual power.
More importantly, it also contains his feelings about the sea water in Liuxian Gorge.
Why are so many people willing to come to the mortal world to test their skills, or watch people fight in other places, or even want to go to Xuanshan to visit Jianmei, because after seeing the ultimate power, it will bring inspiration.
At this moment, water energy spread into the air and turned into a monstrous sword light!
Huo Xuexiang taught Bai Lu the three swords: Time Rain, Spring and Renjian Huan. Bai Lu cannot use the last sword yet, but she has already mastered the first sword. She also learned the second sword by analogy when she was in Liuxian Gorge. The sword contained in this talisman is the Spring Sword!
When this sword comes out, the spectators will be in a trance for a moment, because it is used in a completely different way from when Huo Xuexiang used the sword a hundred years ago.
The seasonal rain is like a flying downpour from the sky, which is unavoidable, but the coming spring is silent, invisible and traceless, yet it can make the branches green and fill the whole garden with life, just like the sea rising from the ground in Liuxian Gorge.
Unlike Huo Xuexiang's sword-drawing, which was plain and simple, the "seasonal rain" of Bai Lu is a blooming of flowers, and the "spring rain" of Bai Lu is like spring rain that moistens everything.
But one thing is the same, that is sharp -
The thin talisman paper burst out with thousands of sword energies in front of the huge Suanni, which penetrated into everything like spring and was everywhere. In an instant, the invisible momentum surpassed the giant beast, and countless invisible swords whistled and rushed towards it.
Huai Lu's face changed suddenly. He and Suanni were in telepathic communication. Suanni roared, and all the spiritual power in the air was devoured by it, making its body more solid. The sound even had the effect of disturbing the soul and creating illusions. The huge left foot that had been raised stepped towards Bai Lu.
No matter how much interference the Suanni may cause, the sword energy will last forever.
Starting from the left foot, the fine swirling sword energy broke it, and Huailu chanted the mantra, allowing the left foot to be reborn.
But there were so many sword energies, so many that it seemed as if every inch of the air was filled with them. Or maybe this was Huai Lu's illusion, and there was actually only one sword...
Huai Lu was shocked, but the magic in front of him didn't even give him a chance to adjust and start over. After the sword energy swept through his body, the huge Suanni turned into gold fragments all over the sky. At this moment, the water spirit energy condensed into fine raindrops, reflecting silver light.
At this moment, the entire sky was a mixture of gold and silver, extremely gorgeous.
The monks watching on the sidelines seemed to be watching the most brilliant fireworks display, especially the monks on the scene who were personally immersed in the scene. Looking up, the golden light reflected in their eyes shocked and amazed them.
Huai Lu was stunned and let go of the hand that was holding the magic formula...
There was no need to continue the competition. He still had a chance just now, but when faced with the Fengchun Sword, he was too panicked to use any other skills.
Huailu looked up at the sky, every drop of rain hovered above his head, and the golden light was like flying catkins, brushing against him.
Ning Yanhu's words "stop when enough" were a reminder to Bai Lu.
Huai Lu retracted his gaze and bowed slowly, feeling a little unwilling. He was another genius in Xuan Du Dao Sect after You Yue. He was just one step away from breaking the record and passing the second level. At this moment, he could only say, "I lost."
Compared with his groaning and frowning of Suanni, the integration of objects into talismans and the fusion of sword and technique are even more awe-inspiring, with ingenuity and power coexisting.
Bai Lu also looked up at the collision between the sword and the lion, slowly lowered his head in the golden fragments, and retracted his gaze. At this moment, the golden whirling dots seemed to be blurred in the green of his pupils, so gorgeous that it was shocking. There was even a little smile on his lips, and he looked more relaxed and contented.
At this moment, who could remember his previous attempt to evade and conceal his identity? He was completely dazzled...
Bai Lu was also very satisfied with the effect of using the Fengchun Sword Talisman and comforted him, "Your master lost to my master two realms higher than him, and you lost to me one realm higher than him. You have made a lot of progress, so don't be sad."
Huai Lu: “…”
Huai Lu was speechless, and he began to understand the mood of his senior brother who often cursed...
Bai Lu unceremoniously extended her hand: "Give me the sign."
Haha, he was willing to agree to this game because of the bracelet that You Yue bet on, and even more so because of Huailu's points!
Huai Lu looked at the scoreboard in his hand. He could advance if he won one more game. He thought he would definitely win against Bai Lu and even wanted to give in. Unexpectedly, he became Bai Lu's meal...
If Bai Lu wins this game, she will win five points, and can also take Huai Lu's points and pass the second level in one fell swoop!
Of course, at this point, no one doubted Xuanshan Bailu's level anymore.
Even compared to Huai Lu, compared to the other half of the contestants, the sword talisman has a fighting force, which is really amazing. In terms of ingenuity, it does not disappoint, integrating the sword into the talisman.
The two of them left the small grassland.
"Brother Bai, good talismans, good magic, really good!" You Yue looked at Bai Lu steadily and handed the bracelet to him. He had previously regarded him as a disciple of the Sword Master, but now he called him Brother Bai.
Bai Lu quickly accepted the bracelet and looked at You Yue, who was cursing, warily, fearing that he would get mad and attack her: "...Thank you, thank you."
"Even without the sword, the magic of the talisman can still have such a miraculous effect. It's amazing. I was not thinking properly. I should have gone on the field myself." You Yue was quite regretful and murmured, "Why didn't I find out earlier that the big bullied the small?"
Everyone: “…”
You Yue regained his composure and said, "I really don't know how Brother Bai uses the sword."
Bai Lu felt that he had not lost his mind, so she said bluntly: "Of course I am more powerful, I am the disciple of the Sword Master." Just let him say it, it will make Meifeng proud of him.
Xuanshan disciples: "..."
Everyone knows that Bai Lu's alchemy and talismans are far superior to swordsmanship. Of course, it doesn't mean that Senior Brother Bai's swordsmanship is not good, but the sword talisman just now burst out with a power that surpassed his foundation building realm. In their opinion, the skill must be in the talisman, which compressed more spiritual energy.
However, everyone remained silent tacitly, and some even nodded slowly.
Well, go out and promote the disciple of Sword Master, whose swordsmanship is also better than talismans...
…
On Xuanshan's side, it was Bai Lu, Ning Yanhu and Pei Zhaoting who finally made it to the final stage. In the original plan, with so many junior brothers and sisters left behind in Liuxian Gorge, it would be great if Ning and Pei could make it to the final stage.
Everyone was sighing. Bai Lu broke the record of the Red Dust Trial in one fell swoop. Although she inherited Uncle Huo's talent for beating people across borders, it must be said that she relied on surprise to get to this point.
But as long as we can win, who cares about the rest?
"Be careful at the third level. You see You Yue is still eyeing us covetously. And the monk from Randeng Island is indeed not simple. He passed the second level easily..." Ning Yanhu muttered about his observations.
Pei Zhaoting said more simply: "You have some skills, keep it up."
Thinking of the sword symbol containing water magic just now, Pei Zhaoting felt a little doubtful. Because the water energy used by Bai Lu had been slightly changed because of Liuxian Gorge, it was more repressive, and because of his preconceived ideas, his doubtful eyes soon dissipated after Bai Lu took out the croissant and ate it frantically...
It really doesn't look like the demeanor of a master.
While Bai Lu was chewing on a croissant to restore her strength, she saw in the distance that the bald master mentioned by the senior sister seemed to be looking at them. But soon, Bai Lu was surrounded by fellow disciples who rushed over. The shadows overlapped, and the lonely Liuli Master quickly disappeared into the crowd, making him the most low-key contestant.
"Oh, Brother, you passed the second level—"
"Is this the first time that someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage has passed the second level?"
"Brother Bai is the King of Foundation Building!!"
Bai Lu was immediately flattered by the compliment, "Yes, yes..."
"Now the pre-orders are even more explosive. Someone just asked if I can teach how to make sword talismans, or if sword talismans can be sold. This chain of mine, senior brother, has also been pre-ordered... oh, there should be more." Ding Douhua looked at Bai Lu. She used to think that senior brother Bai had too many small items, but now she wishes she could have more of them. This is all to attract customers.
"No more, no more. Too much is as bad as too little!" Bai Lu said, "You can't really treat me as a Christmas tree, can you?"
Christmas tree? Everyone looked at him in confusion, "What is a Christmas tree?"
Bai Lu thought for a moment and said, "It's a tree with decorations all over it."
"That sounds like a tradition of Huanhua Island, with so many Wood Tribe members..."
"Does Saint refer to the Qing Emperor's attainment of sainthood?"
"When is it celebrated? February 2? Chinese New Year?"
Bai Lu: “…”
I feel like if we keep talking they'll soon add a traditional festival to Huanhuazhou...
This amazing match attracted so much attention that even Taoist Master Hengyang of Yujing Palace could not sit still. The monks watching outside were restricted from interfering and could only gossip and discuss outside, but the organizers were able to come over and chat in person.
"It's true that heroes emerge young!" Daoist Master Hengyang came over with a few disciples and began to praise them. "A hundred years ago, I also witnessed the style of Juntian Sword Master. I didn't expect that he would accept disciples and become famous again in the mortal world. Moreover, he participated in the competition at the Foundation Establishment Stage and absorbed objects into talismans. What a talent, what a talent!"
Facing the elders' praise, Bai Lu recalled many things. He couldn't help but take a step forward and raised his head and said, "Senior, our sect leader also praised me in the random exam before, saying that I am a unique and innovative person, the best in the past 8,000 years."
"Oh?" Daoist Master Hengyang tasted it and thought it was wonderful. "As expected of Immortal Master Boluan, your comments are pertinent."
Xuanshan disciples: "..."
Bai Lu glanced at Qiusuo and saw him coming over, probably to bring her some tea... Wait, what's that look?
"Master?" Bai Lu called out.
My master didn’t make it in time to send me off for the exam, but he made it in time to receive me!
The people in Yujing Palace looked at the wooden puppet and heard Bai Lu calling him "Master". They took a closer look at the wooden puppet's face and it seemed as if it was really possessed by someone. Could it be that the Sword Master had traveled thousands of miles to visit his disciples?
Huo Xuexiang, who was once again on the search, walked slowly over. On the way, he nodded to Master Yujing Palace as a greeting, allowing people to confirm his identity.
Huo Xuexiang stopped in front of Bai Lu, and saw Bai Lu rushing over impatiently. He grabbed his sleeve and said, "Did you see my performance? Did you see me beat Huai Lu? He said that his master was beaten by you, and now I beat him again. Hahahaha!"
“I see.” Huo Xuexiang was not stingy with his praise, which made everyone in Yujing Palace who had seen him doubt his identity. “To be able to pass the second level of the Red Dust Trial at the Foundation Establishment Stage is unprecedented.”
The disciples of Xuanshan were not surprised to hear such praise. It was nothing. The people from Yujing Palace nearby stared with their eyes wide open, which was a bit surprising.
Daoist Master Hengyang couldn't help but say to his fellow disciples, "I heard that the Sword Master was in charge of Xuanshan. I didn't expect that he would come to watch the competition with his disciples. He really has a caring heart. No wonder he is not like usual. I almost didn't recognize him."
He sighed, and then said to the disciple next to him: "Alas, if you can be like Bai Lu, I would also like to treat you like the Sword Master, instead of beating you every day..."
Over there, Bai Lu heard Huo Xuexiang's praise. After not seeing him for several days, she felt overwhelmed by his enthusiastic Western manner. But she also thought that they were outside and it would be inappropriate to act in that way.
Finally, Bai Lu said eagerly, "Master, I'm tired of fighting."
Huo Xuexiang remained silent for a while, then asked, "Then what do you want to do?"
There was a hint of understanding in his tone.
Bai Lu jumped onto Huo Xue's back, rubbed her head elegantly, and found a comfortable position.
really……
Huo Xuexiang laughed, and took the opportunity to reach out his hand to support Bai Lu, and nodded to the Yujing Palace people again, "We are tired of fighting, we will take our leave first."
He carried Bai Lu on his back and led a group of disciples away.
The eight disciples of Taoist Master Hengyang looked at the two of them, then turned to look at Taoist Master Hengyang.
Taoist Hengyang: "...It's good to knock. Disciples must knock."
