Looking at Zhou Tianyi who almost popped his eyes out, Lin Zhongtian raised the corner of his mouth and said with emotion: "Yes, according to my elders, this fairy bean is suspected to be the seed of the fairy root in the fairy world, but it has never been cultivated. That's why I took it away as a life-saving means..."
It turned out to be this Senzu bean!
Zhou Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief, he thought it was the Senzu Bean from Dragon Ball!
Fortunately, it wasn't... Wait, what did he hear? Something suspiciously like the seeds of the immortal root? !
Zhou Tianyi widened his eyes again.
Such a precious treasure, and you just ate it as a snack?
Also, is this another life-saving trick you have up your sleeve?
How many tricks do you have up your sleeve?
What kind of box can hold this?
For a moment, Zhou Tianyi couldn't stop complaining in his heart.
Liu Ruoqin and Beihai Jianzun, who were standing next to them, also fell silent after hearing Lin Zhongtian's answer.
They thought they were somewhat knowledgeable, but this was the first time they had seen a prodigal like Lin Zhongtian!
He casually used the fifth-level talisman that could only be refined by cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage.
He also casually ate the so-called magic beans that were suspected to be seeds of magic roots.
This is really...
Many complicated emotions emerged in the heart of Beihai Sword Master.
Lin Zhongtian asked with great interest: "Senior, can we open the inheritance hall now?"
“…”
Beihai Sword Master came back to his senses, looked at him with a complicated expression, and then turned into a stream of light and poured into the inheritance hall.
“Boom boom—”
The palace door slowly opened, revealing an opaque light curtain shrouded in blue glow.
"Come on, I'm rooting for you!"
Lin Zhongtian patted Zhou Tianyi on the shoulder, and then took the lead to step into the light curtain.
After hearing this, Zhou Tianyi was stunned for a moment.
Then, he frowned tightly and looked at Lin Zhongtian's back with shock in his eyes.
"Ruoqin, listen to me, the plan is scrapped, you must not attack him."
Zhou Tianyi suddenly spoke.
Liu Ruoqin was stunned at first by Zhou Tianyi's long-lost affectionate address, and then she frowned.
"Why?"
“…”
Zhou Tianyi looked at the light curtain with complicated eyes and shook his head, saying, "I can't tell you the specific reason, but you'd better listen to me and don't attack him... Brother Lin."
After saying that, Zhou Tianyi turned around, looked directly into Liu Ruoqin's eyes and reiterated it before stepping into the light curtain.
Liu Ruoqin frowned tightly, feeling a little puzzled by Zhou Tianyi's sudden change of attitude.
After a little thought, she made up her mind and stepped into the light curtain.
In an instant, the surrounding environment changed dramatically.
A mountain full of sharp swords appeared in front of Liu Ruoqin. At first glance, those densely packed swords were at least magical weapons, and some were even magical treasures shrouded in various colors of spiritual light.
"...So many magical flying swords?!"
Liu Ruoqin suppressed the shock in her heart and looked towards the highest point of the mountain.
There stood a nine-zhang-tall stone tablet covered with various sword marks.
After a little thought, Liu Ruoqin stepped onto the sword peak and came to the stone tablet covered with sword marks.
Sure enough, there were a few lines of small characters carved on the lower left corner of the stone tablet, which clearly stated the requirements for passing the first level:
Within seven days, comprehend at least one sword intent in front of this sword monument.
This is a test of the practitioner's kendo aptitude.
Although simple and straightforward, it is very effective.
Liu Ruoqin is not a swordsman, nor does she have such a strong understanding and swordsmanship.
Therefore, from the first moment she saw the requirements to pass the level, she knew clearly that she could not pass this first level.
But passing the level was not her real purpose.
Liu Ruoqin turned around, ignored the precious sword monument behind her, and bowed respectfully towards the secret realm around her.
"Liu Ruoqin, the 87th generation disciple of the Beihai branch of the Sihai Sect and a disciple of Master Mu Hai, greets Uncle Beihai."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless blue spots of light emanated from the surrounding environment and gathered in front of Liu Ruoqin to form the appearance of the North Sea Sword Master.
After appearing, Beihai Sword Master looked at her deeply.
"I wonder why this name sounds so familiar..."
"Are you the last disciple with a natural spiritual root that the Sixth Junior Brother accepted?"
Liu Ruoqin sighed softly, "That's right."
Beihai Sword Master frowned and asked, "Is it reincarnation, or possession of another body?"
Liu Ruoqin said frankly: "It can be considered a reincarnation. My master once accidentally found a Three Lives Three Worlds flower in the fairyland. I swallowed it before the war that year, and blew up my golden elixir during the war. I was finally reincarnated successfully, and retained the memory of my previous life in the next three lives."
"I see."
Beihai Sword Master nodded, then sighed softly, "You've suffered so much. For so many years, you've been carrying the blood feud of the extermination of the sect. Even if you reincarnate, you can't forget it... Sixth Junior Brother has really done us a lot of harm!"
“…”
Liu Ruoqin's eyes were red, and she shook her head and said, "Swallowing the Three Lives Three Worlds Flower was my own decision, and it has nothing to do with my master."
Beihai Sword Master looked at Liu Ruoqin with pity and said softly, "Tell me about the situation in the outside world!"
Liu Ruoqin said respectfully: "Yes, Uncle Master."
Afterwards, Liu Ruoqin told North Sea Sword Master about the situation in the Star Sea over the years.
Including the recent development of the sect's enemy Fu Hai Zong, the power level of the Fu Hai Zong in the upper realm, and her failure experience in her previous life.
That’s right, including the life in which she swallowed the Three Lives Three Worlds Flower, this is her third life, or her second reincarnation.
In her previous life, she joined the Fu Hai Sect with her natural spiritual roots, intending to subvert this behemoth from within.
But in the end, the war between the two sects that she had started was easily settled by the monks sent from the upper realm. The two sects that also had super strong power in the upper realm simply shook hands and made peace, and reached a delicate balance again.
Liu Ruoqin was unwilling to accept this, so she secretly attacked the other sect's Nascent Soul cultivator again, but unfortunately the other sect's Nascent Soul escaped.
Afterwards, Liu Ruoqin was worried that her soul would be searched by the Fuhai Sect's divine cultivators, so she committed suicide decisively and successfully reincarnated again.
Beihai Sword Master frowned upon hearing this and could not help but sigh, "Fool, you are too obsessed with revenge. I cannot imagine how you survived the Nascent Soul Heart Demon Tribulation..."
"Listen to Master's advice and forget about the Four Seas Sect!"
"You have already sacrificed two lives for the sect, you no longer owe anything..."
Liu Ruoqin bit her lower lip lightly, and said with red eyes: "Uncle Master, rest assured, I have understood that before we solve the problem of Fu Hai Sect's upper world headquarters, no matter what I do, I will not be able to avenge my master's blood feud."
"I have decided to cultivate well in this life. At least before I ascend to the immortal world, I will never seek revenge on the Fu Hai Sect again."
Looking at Liu Ruoqin's stubborn look, Beihai Sword Master sighed softly, "Fool."
As he spoke, the North Sea Sword Master waved his hand lightly, and a blue sword light penetrated the secret realm, forming a passage filled with blue light.
At the end of the passage is an extremely magnificent hall, filled with all kinds of natural treasures and shrouded in five-colored spiritual light.
"I have left many good things in this inheritance hall. If you need anything, just take it!"
"No, uncle." Liu Ruoqin shook her head. "The reason why I reveal my identity to you is not because of the treasures you left behind, but for the sect and Senior Brother Zhou..."
“…”
Upon hearing this, Beihai Sword Master raised his eyebrows, his eyes turned, and a mirror-like blue water curtain suddenly appeared in front of him.
What was displayed in the water curtain was the situations in the other two illusions, namely the scene where Lin Zhongtian and Zhou Tianyi comprehended the sword monument.
"Why him?"
"I think the young man surnamed Lin is more talented than him."
Liu Ruoqin shook her head and said, "But he is a disciple of Fu Hai Sect."
Beihai Sword Master was startled when he heard this, and frowned tightly, "Are you sure?"
Liu Ruoqin was about to nod, but when she recalled Zhou Tianyi's words, she hesitated again.
Finally, Liu Ruoqin shook her head and said, "I can't be completely sure, but it's very likely."
"Senior Brother Zhou asked me not to attack him. I believe in his judgment. However, there is a high probability that he is not one of us. Please set up a few more difficulties for him so that Senior Brother Zhou can inherit your legacy..."
Hearing Liu Ruoqin's sincere request, Beihai Sword Master was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Do you like this young man named Zhou?"
Liu Ruoqin was slightly startled, then nodded with rosy cheeks: "He looks a lot like my master."
"Sixth Junior Brother..."
A look of reminiscence appeared on Beihai Sword Master's face.
But then he shook his head: "If he really looks like your master, then they are definitely not a good match."
Liu Ruoqin nodded slightly: "I know that Master only has the sect in his heart, and Senior Brother Zhou only has the Zhou family in his heart..."
Beihai Sword Master frowned and said, "Why don't you quickly cut off your feelings with your sword? Don't blame your uncle for saying such harsh words. With your current condition, let alone ascending to the immortal world in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to survive the Nascent Soul Tribulation in this life!"
“…”
Liu Ruoqin fell silent upon hearing this.
Beihai Sword Master looked at her deeply, then sighed and said, "Well, I'll help you this time!"
As soon as the words fell, the sword monument in front of Lin Zhongtian began to shake violently.
Countless powerful sword intentions rose from the sword marks and intertwined into a grand symphony above the sword monument.
Lin Zhongtian was originally participating in this level-breaking game seriously, but when he saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment.
"…What do you mean?"
"Is it because my talent in swordsmanship is too strong that all sword intentions can't help but interact with me?"
Before he finished speaking, countless sword intentions came whistling and turned into a terrifying sword intention storm that rushed towards Lin Zhongtian's body.
“It’s true!”
Lin Zhongtian was overjoyed. He stood up immediately and took in all the sword intent into his body without any hesitation. Then he enthusiastically sensed the countless sword intents that were having a party in his body.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, come one by one!"
"Let me see what kind of sword intent you have..."
"The overlapping sword intent can make one sword stronger than the other?"
"It's quite powerful, but it's not to my liking. Go away!"
"Well, this one is good. The surging sea sword intent, which uses force to overwhelm others, suits my taste very well. It's just a little too petty. The next one..."
Looking at Lin Zhongtian who was enthusiastically choosing sword ideas in the water curtain, Beihai Sword Master and Liu Ruoqin couldn't help but fall into a long silence.
