Chapter 101 Sword Heart Awakening [Thanks to Yue Ling for the leader's reward]
Since the mission object is related to the generous reward, if I help Elder Ming improve his strength, will the reward for Elder Ming's preaching mission become more generous?
In this way, by listening to Elder Ming's teachings, I am sure I can quickly improve my swordsmanship.
Moreover... Lu Yi has seen that Elder Ming is getting older every year during this period of time. Perhaps he only has a dozen years or so left to live, or at most a few decades.
This is a very short time for a cultivator who has reached the Divine Transformation stage.
If nothing unexpected happens, Elder Ming will definitely die of old age.
Lu Yi doesn't want this to happen. Elder Ming has taught him the Dharma and cares for him like an elder to a younger generation. Lu Yi naturally wants to help Elder Ming break through so that he can live longer.
In the past, Lu Yi might not be able to help much, but that may not be the case now.
His current reward is the Hundred-Year Spirit Essence.
Spiritual marrow can be said to be a treasure for cultivation. Even for a cultivator who has reached the state of spiritual enlightenment, it can be used to improve his cultivation and talent.
If there were enough hundred-year-old spiritual essences, Elder Ming should be able to break through his cultivation and reach the Void Realm.
After all, the Dongxu realm requires a thorough understanding of the meaning of heaven and earth and a sense of artistic conception. Elder Ming has already reached this most difficult threshold. What really trapped Elder Ming was the bottleneck of cultivation, which is actually relatively easy to break.
Lu Yi was thinking that he now had thousands of drops of the Hundred Years Spirit Essence, so he could find a chance to give some to Elder Ming and let him see the effect.
I will be able to discuss the way of the sword with Elder Ming again tomorrow, and I will bring it to him then.
Lu Yi made up his mind.
The three of them returned to Lingluo Peak and each went back to their own cave.
Lu Yi took out the reward and took a look at it.
The Golden Fire Glazed Bracelet is a red and gold bracelet that looks very gorgeous and extraordinary.
This is an auxiliary type of treasure that can increase the speed of cultivation of gold-attributed spirits and fire-attributed spirits. It can also enhance the cultivator's perception of gold and fire attributes. For cultivators who practice gold-attributed Taoism and fire-attributed Taoism, its value is even greater than that of top-grade treasures.
Unfortunately, although Lu Yi cultivated many artistic conceptions, he lacked the gold and fire artistic conceptions.
Even so, Lu Yi still felt a little sighed. Zhuge Shou was really a boy who brought wealth. This treasure was too precious.
Lu Yi shook his head and put away the Golden Fire Glazed Bracelet, intending to use it again when he had the chance.
After that, Lu Yi continued to practice.
The next morning, Lu Yi left Lingluo Peak and went to the library.
In the library, Lu Yi saw Elder Ming lying leisurely on the rocking chair and smiled: "Elder Ming, I'm here."
Elder Ming's originally gray hair has now turned completely white, and there are more wrinkles on his face. Even his aura reveals a sense of old age.
It was evident from every aspect that this legendary swordsman who had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm had now officially entered his twilight years and was no longer as vigorous and energetic as he was in the past when he wielded a sword.
When Elder Ming saw Lu Yi, his eyes lit up and he smiled kindly: "Lu kid, you are still so punctual. Come, have a bowl of wine first."
Lu Yi smiled, took out the Jade Wine and poured a bowl for Elder Ming. The aroma of the wine was so strong that the nearby cultivators couldn't help but look over, swallowed their saliva, full of envy, but didn't dare to come over.
Lu Yi used his spiritual energy to control the bowl and float it towards Elder Ming, and the wine in the bowl did not ripple at all.
Elder Ming took it and chuckled, "Your control over spiritual energy is truly admirable."
Lu Yi smiled helplessly: "Ming Lao, you are too kind. I gave you quite a bit of Jade Wine, but why don't you drink it on weekdays?"
Elder Ming drank a bowl of wine and laughed, "I'm old now, and I always feel lonely drinking alone. Good wine should be drunk with the right people."
Lu Yi also smiled: "A toast to you!"
Elder Ming poured himself a bowl of wine, and drank it with Lu Yi. Then he sighed and said, "I heard that you defeated the genius from Qinzhou with one sword yesterday?"
Lu Yi nodded: "This little thing has reached your ears?"
Elder Ming laughed and said, "The White Cloud Sect's immortals taking action is no small matter within the sect."
Lu Yi took a sip of wine helplessly: "Being famous is also a kind of trouble."
“Hahaha! You are something that others would only dream of.” Elder Ming shook his head, then sighed, “Your talent in swordsmanship is higher than I thought. In just a few years, you have already caught up with my thousands of years of enlightenment. Really…”
Elder Ming sighed quietly, "In the sword art, there are not many people I admire in my life. There are only two. One is the swordsman who holds a wooden sword and kills the immortal with one sword. The other is the old master of the Divine Sword Sect who suppresses the demon with the sword of heaven. Now, you are the third one."
He sighed, "I, Nan Luoming, think I have extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, but compared to you, I am no different from an ordinary person."
Lu Yi felt a little embarrassed. He laughed dryly, "Ming, you are too modest. To be able to comprehend 60% of the sword intent at the Spiritualization Realm is already a rare sword genius in the world. As long as you enter the Void Realm, you will be able to transform into a dragon overnight, and the wind and clouds will change with you."
“The Void Realm… How easy is it?” Elder Ming chuckled, “If it were so easy to break through, I wouldn’t have been trapped here for three thousand years.”
Lu Yi was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Master Ming, I got some cultivation treasures in the Donglin Ruins a few days ago. I can't use them yet, but maybe you can use them."
Hearing this, Elder Ming was stunned, glanced at Lu Yi, and chuckled, "You are thoughtful, but how rare are the natural treasures that can help a Divine Transformation cultivator break through? Don't bother thinking about it."
Lu Yi smiled and said in a voice transmission: "Can a Hundred Years Spiritual Essence allow a Divine Transformation cultivator to break through?"
Hearing this, Elder Ming was shocked, his eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Yi in disbelief, and asked in shock: "What did you say?!"
He glanced at the disciples around him, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said in a voice transmission: "Lu kid, what did you say?! You, actually obtained the Hundred Years Spiritual Essence?!"
Seeing Elder Ming's excitement, Lu Yi felt relieved. It seemed that the effect of the Hundred-Year Spiritual Essence was better than he had imagined? Lu Yi had always used Spiritual Milk for cultivation. Even though he thought the Hundred-Year Spiritual Essence was pretty good, he didn't think it was particularly rare. Now it seemed that the cultivation resources he usually used were already quite precious, so he had such an idea.
For ordinary cultivators, even for those who have reached the Divine Transformation stage, the Hundred-Year Spirit Essence is an extremely precious treasure.
Lu Yi smiled slightly and said in a voice transmission: "Well, I got it by chance."
Elder Ming took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lu Yi and said, "How much do you have? If it's less, it won't be of much use."
Lu Yi thought about it, gritted his teeth, and said, "About a thousand drops."
For him, a treasure like the Hundred Years Spirit Marrow can be obtained at any time through tasks as long as he is willing. Although thousands of drops of the Hundred Years Spirit Marrow are precious, he will naturally be willing to give it out if it can help Elder Ming break through.
Hearing this, Elder Ming's aura fluctuated noticeably, and he looked at Lu Yi in disbelief: "Thousands of drops... There are actually thousands of drops?!"
His eyes flickered frequently, his expression was excited, but he was a little hesitant. He transmitted his voice, "...Lu kid, do you know how precious the Hundred Year Spiritual Essence is? Thousands of drops of Hundred Year Spiritual Essence are enough to turn an ordinary cultivator into a genius cultivator with an acquired spiritual body! The spiritual energy contained in it is enough to allow a mortal to cultivate to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, or even the God Transformation stage! Are you really willing to give it to an old man like me?"
Lu Yi smiled and said in a voice transmission: "Ming Lao, you have taught me the way of the sword. If you hadn't explained the way of the sword without reservation, how could my sword intention improve so smoothly? Since you care about me so much, how can I not feel touched? It's just a few thousand drops of hundred-year spiritual essence. With my talent, even without the hundred-year spiritual essence, it is enough to break through all bottlenecks and move forward courageously. If I didn't want to give it to you, I wouldn't say it. If it is really useful to you, you can take it."
Hearing this, Elder Ming was silent for a moment. Then he took a deep breath and a serious look appeared on his old face.
He spoke slowly, his voice spreading throughout the library: "The library is closed, everyone leave!"
With a wave of his hand, supreme power surged, detaining the cultivators who were selecting skills and spells in the library one by one and throwing them out the door. Even the two elders in the Nascent Soul stage were no exception and were pulled out with confused faces.
All the disciples and elders had a lot of questions in their minds and looked at Elder Ming with confusion.
"Elder Ming, what are you doing..." A Nascent Soul elder asked cautiously with a head full of question marks.
Elder Ming glanced at him and said, "I have some understanding. I need to retreat for a while. I will explain it to the headmaster in person later. You can leave first."
The two Yuanying elders looked at each other in bewilderment, and then one of them bowed and said, "So that's how it is. Congratulations to Elder Ming for having gained some insights."
Then the two Nascent Soul elders urged the other disciples to leave.
Soon, the library was deserted, with only Lu Yi and Elder Ming left.
Elder Ming looked at Lu Yi and asked seriously, "Lu kid, think about it carefully. Are you really willing to give that hundred-year-old spiritual essence to an old man like me?"
Lu Yi smiled, took out the jade bottle containing the hundred-year-old spiritual essence, and handed it to Elder Ming.
Spiritual marrow is different from spiritual milk. Spiritual milk is a white liquid, but spiritual marrow has already turned into a solid, a white paste-like substance. Even through the jade bottle, there is still a trace of spiritual energy escaping from it, refreshing the heart.
When Elder Ming saw Lu Yi take out the spiritual essence, he was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "I, an old guy, am not as open-minded as you."
He took the spiritual essence and looked at Lu Yi. Unexpectedly, a trace of unrivaled sharpness emanated from his body, as if the sword heart had awakened. He smiled and said, "With these hundred-year spiritual essences, I will definitely achieve the Void Realm! Just wait for the good news!"
Lu Yi felt the invincible sword intent and smiled: "The boy is right here, congratulations on your old age."
"Go ahead. I'm going to go into seclusion." Elder Ming was a little impatient.
Lu Yi nodded and left the library.
As soon as he came out of the library, Lu Yi saw several figures flying quickly from a distance and landing on the square. They were Wu Qingfeng and Elder Izumo. Their auras were as deep as the abyss, and they were all Divine Transformation cultivators.
When they saw Lu Yi, they were all stunned. Wu Qingfeng stepped forward, frowned and asked, "Lu kid, do you know why Master Ming closed the library?"
The library is the foundation of the sect and its top priority. If anything goes wrong, it will really hurt the Baiyun Sect.
As soon as Elder Ming was about to close the library, the headmaster and other Divine Transformation cultivators came over directly.
Lu Yi was not surprised at all. He smiled and said, "Master, go ask Elder Ming yourself."
Hearing this, Wu Qingfeng looked at Lu Yi with some doubt: "I always feel like you seem to know something?"
But he didn't think much about it and entered the library with Elder Izumo and others.
Lu Yi shook his head and turned away.
Even though he gritted his teeth and took out so much century-old spiritual essence, it would be a lie to say he didn't feel sorry.
Fortunately, he still has a lot of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk he obtained before, which should be enough for him to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm. After that, he will find a few geniuses to learn from, such as Senior Brother Xie Tianming and Senior Brother Nangong Moyu, and there should be no problem in obtaining resources for cultivation.
Lu Yi had just left the library not far when he felt a strong aura coming from the library. Lu Yi turned around and saw several Divine Transformation cultivators rising into the air. Their auras were fluctuating, and he could feel their inner excitement.
The headmaster must have received the news that Elder Ming is planning to go into seclusion and break through to the realm of the Void?
If Elder Ming really breaks through to the Dongxu realm, it will be a great thing for the entire Baiyun Sect. For a sect to have an elder at the Dongxu realm, the entire sect's power will be elevated to a higher level.
At the very least, the Blood Spirit Sect and the Sky Snake Sect would definitely not dare to show their teeth to the White Cloud Sect.
Lu Yi returned to the cave and continued to practice.
Time passed quietly, and after breaking through to the eleventh level of foundation building, the speed of cultivation slowed down a lot.
More than a year later, Lu Yi broke through to the twelfth level of foundation building.
On the contrary, Donggong Mingyue, because she was at the thirteenth level of Qi training and had an extremely solid foundation, she had just broken through to the foundation-building stage. In more than a year, she broke through three small realms and reached the fourth level of foundation-building. Her cultivation speed was extremely fast, which made her very proud.
Lu Yi issued the next task and found that the task reward did not change much, with just a few drops of thousand-year-old spiritual milk. It was better than nothing. He could only hope that she could continue to work hard and break through to the Golden Core realm as soon as possible.
The reward for breaking through to the twelfth level of foundation building is 3 Dao Lingzhu, which is also extremely generous. Lu Yi happily accepted it and continued to practice.
During this period, Lu Yi would also have dinner with Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang and Junior Sister Donggong Mingyue from time to time to enhance their relationship.
On this day, Jiang Fan and his two companions came back from training outside and went to Lu Yi to eat and drink.
Outside the cave, the four of them were eating barbecue, drinking wine, and talking about the situation outside.
Bai Yulong grinned and said, "Junior Brother Lu, things are very exciting outside recently! The three sects outside have joined forces to completely suppress the Blood Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Snake Sect. Now our three sects' disciples have been chasing them all the way, and we have gained something without any effort. It's like picking up money!"
Tieman took a bite of the barbecue and said vaguely, "Xiaobai is right. The three of us have made a lot of money recently. It's a pity that Junior Brother Lu, you can't go out."
"Hehe, it's not just about making resources. You don't know, some time ago, we acted together with the disciples of Wanhua Sect. I have to say, the female cultivators of Wanhua Sect are really...tsk tsk." Bai Yulong smiled obscenely.
Jiang Fan, who was standing next to him, ruthlessly exposed him: "It's a pity that you can only watch. Every time people communicate with you, they ask about Junior Brother Lu."
Bai Yulong's smile froze for a moment, and then he said unconvincedly: "What do you know? With communication, feelings will slowly develop. Don't you understand that love grows over time?"
Tie Man said, "If we talk about this, Junior Brother Lu is the one we envy the most. Even if he is not around, every time the Wanhua Sect disciples who travel with us know that we have a good relationship with Junior Brother Lu, they will ask us about him."
Bai Yulong's face was filled with resentment, and he said with despair: "Junior Brother Lu really doesn't give me a chance to live."
Lu Yi looked innocent: "What does this have to do with me?"
Tie Man spoke again: "A few days ago, our three sects joined forces to seize a spiritual stone mine of the Blood Spirit Sect, and the harvest was quite large."
Bai Yulong exclaimed: "I heard that there seems to be some spiritual milk deep in the spiritual stone mine. The three sects made a lot of money this time."
Jiang Fan beside him took a sip of Jade Wine, shook his head and chuckled, "Junior Brother Lu also gave us some Hundred Years Spiritual Milk before. How can ordinary sect cultivators have such good conditions as us?"
Bai Yulong and Tieman nodded repeatedly and toasted Lu Yi.
Lu Yi listened to the three people talking about various news and gained a lot of understanding about the situation outside.
Now the Blood Spirit Sect and the Sky Snake Sect are at a disadvantage. Both sects have lost a lot of disciples, and even more than a dozen Nascent Soul elders. It can be said that this battle will cause serious damage to both sects.
However, that's all. As long as the sect is still there, they will eventually recover. The most they will do is close the mountain for a period of time.
With the protection of the sect's great formation, it is generally difficult for the sect to fall.
Lu Yi also did not give up practicing formations during this period. He was still thinking about finding an opportunity in the future to break the Blood Spirit Sect and the Sky Snake Sect's sect formations and completely prevent them from turning over.
In addition, what puzzled Lu Yi was that since he defeated Zhuge Shou, he had been waiting for a genius to challenge him. However, after such a long time, no other genius came to challenge him, which made Lu Yi very disappointed.
Then he asked Jiang Fan and the other two, and found out that there was very little news circulating outside about Lu Yi defeating Zhuge Shou.
This is the case even in Qingzhou, let alone other states.
Lu Yi understood immediately. Zhuge Shou had returned in defeat. Such a shameful thing would definitely not be publicized by Mingling Valley. Although the disciples in Baiyun Sect would discuss it, it would not spread to other states so quickly.
After Lu Yi figured it out, he suddenly realized that it would take some time before other geniuses came to challenge him.
"By the way, these days, the three sects have united and their relationship is closer than before. The three sects seem to be planning to hold an exchange meeting in Wanhua Sect. Junior Brother Lu, will you go?" Jiang Fan thought of something and asked Lu Yi.
Bai Yulong also thought of this, and said with expectation: "Junior Brother Lu, you have to think it through. That's going to the Wanhua Sect! If you go there, you will just kill people indiscriminately!"
