Chapter 252: Sword Master

Li Feihuang didn’t expect to meet Gao Xian in the sword lecture hall, and she was very embarrassed to meet Gao Xian as a disciple.

If she had defeated Gao Xian, she would be the one standing on the podium, and Gao Xian could only look up at her from below.'

After the Qingyun Dharma Assembly ended, she was noticed by Lu Jingxu and was accepted as his personal disciple.

With Lu Jingxu, the Jindan teacher and her direct disciple, her status in Qingyun Sect is actually far higher than that of ordinary disciples.

Just wait to participate in the sect competition held every ten years. As long as you can enter the top five, you can obtain the status of a true disciple.

There is still a huge gap between ordinary true disciples and Shenxiao Palace true disciples. However, ordinary true disciples can also pass various tests, accumulate good deeds, and obtain the qualification to advance to Shenxiao Palace true disciples.

The competition for advancement to the next level among the true disciples of the Shenxiao Palace is extremely fierce. It happens once every thirty years, and many true disciples gather together. Only the first one can become a true disciple of the Shenxiao Palace.

In addition, there are several ways to become a true disciple of Shenxiao Palace. But they are too far away from her.

Li Feihuang planned to practice diligently in Qingyun Sect first, and attending lectures in the Lecture Hall was an important way to do so.

Lu Jingxu had not told her beforehand that Gao Xian would be the scripture teacher, so she was totally unprepared for this and was quite emotional for a moment.

Lu Jingxu noticed his disciple's emotional fluctuations. He knew that Gao Xian was coming to give a lecture, but he didn't tell Li Feihuang.

This disciple was just too arrogant. It was normal for cultivators to be arrogant, but Li Feihuang's arrogance did not come from her strength, but from her blind self-confidence and her superficial understanding of the world.

Lu Jingxu felt that this was too bad and would become the biggest obstacle for Li Feihuang's advancement in the future.

Know yourself and the world as early as possible, and face the truth with a rational and sober attitude. This is the wisdom that a practitioner should have.

Gao Xian is Li Feihuang's inner demon. Li Feihuang must learn to face Gao Xian and learn to control his emotions instead of being controlled by his emotions.

Lu Jingxu felt that this was more important than learning swordsmanship.

Under the teacher's gaze, Li Feihuang realized her own misconduct. No matter how much resentment she had towards Gao Xian, she had to respect her teacher in the lecture hall.

It took a lot of effort for her to slowly lower her head and show respect to Gao Xian.

Lu Jingxu nodded with satisfaction. If you don't have the ability to defy the heavens, you have to abide by the rules. This is good.

Gao Xian smiled. He noticed that Li Feihuang's neck had turned red. For a foundation-building cultivator, he should be able to control his qi and blood, at least not lose his composure like this.

This state shows how angry Li Feihuang is.

Gao Xian originally thought that Li Feihuang was a mistress, but now he has changed his mind. She is not a mistress, she is a stupid mistress.

"Everyone, from today on, I will be the teacher in the sword lecture hall. I am only a beginner in the sword path. I hope to move forward together with you in the sword path, and learn from each other..."

Facing hundreds of disciples, Gao Xian acted very humble.

Ninety-nine percent of the people present were Qigong practitioners, so he didn't need to put on a high profile. This was also his style of doing things.

"A friend once told me that the use of swords requires sincerity and integrity."

Gao Xian said: "I have been thinking about what sincerity and uprightness mean. One day I suddenly understood that sincerity and uprightness mean using your spiritual sense to sense the sword and resonate with the rune restrictions in the sword. That's it..."

When he was in Pegasus, Gao Xian practiced swordsmanship hard in order to deal with Zhu Changsheng, and finally he practiced the Qingfeng swordsmanship to the master level.

Afterwards, Gao Xian practiced the Qingfeng sword technique to the perfect master level.

The Qingfeng swordsmanship cannot be enhanced. Gao Xian was able to reach the perfect Grandmaster level only through his personal efforts and some luck.

Based on this point alone, he has surpassed countless foundation-building monks in swordsmanship.

Simply comparing swordsmanship, Gao Xian is even confident that he can compete with Yun Qiu Shui.

Yun Qiushui's strength lies in his high sword intention, which can achieve the unity of mind and sword. This is different from the simple level of swordsmanship.

At least Yun Qiu Shui's approach was unavailable to anyone present, including him.

Gao Xian's sword technique was learned by himself through hard work, step by step, to the perfect state of a master. He knew very well how a low-level cultivator should practice sword techniques and where the difficulties lay.

What he explained was relatively simple, but very practical.

At first, many practitioners in the hall thought that Gao Xian’s speech was too crude and straightforward, but they soon discovered the benefits of Gao Xian’s way of speaking.

Gao Xian explained the sword theories that originally sounded vague and obscure in a clear and thorough manner.

A class lasted two hours, and many Qigong practitioners listened very attentively.

Li Feihuang was originally very awkward, and listened to the class with a critical mindset. She was a direct descendant of the Li family, and had practiced the Qingfeng Sword Scripture since she was young.

The Qingfeng sword technique that Gao Xian practiced is the most basic part of the sword moves in the "Qingfeng Sword Classic".

As she listened, Li Feihuang was mesmerized. Gao Xian's in-depth and easy-to-understand explanation of swordplay was something she had never thought of before.

Comparing her sword skills with her own, she realized that her sword skills were so crude.

"That's all for today's class."

Gao Xian saw that the time was up, so he nodded to the hundreds of practitioners in the hall, indicating that it was time to end.

Many practitioners were listening attentively, and suddenly when they heard the end, many of them were shocked.

Two hours had passed just like that? Although many cultivators wanted to listen more, no one dared to speak. They all bowed deeply and sent the scripture master off respectfully.

Gao Xian was quite satisfied with this class. The practitioners listened very seriously and no one was fooling around. The teaching atmosphere was good.

After leaving the sword lecture hall, Lu Jingxu followed him and praised him sincerely: "Junior brother's analysis of sword theory is clear and practical. It can be seen that junior brother's attainments in swordsmanship have reached perfection..."

In the first class, although Lu Jingxu knew that Gao Xian was an expert in swordsmanship, lecturing and fighting were two different things, so he had to listen before he could feel at ease.

As a result, after listening to the class, he found that Gao Xianming was talking about the most basic sword principles, which made him gain a lot.

From this we can see that Gao Xian had extremely high attainments in swordsmanship, which enabled him to explain complex and profound sword theories so thoroughly and in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

After listening to this class, Lu Jingxu confirmed that Gao Xian's swordsmanship was even better than he had expected.

Having Gao Xian as the sword-teacher is much better than Yun Qiu Shui.

Lu Jingxu was very happy about this. With a great sage teaching swordsmanship, those practitioners with a talent for swordsmanship would be able to grow rapidly, and perhaps there would be a few swordsmanship geniuses in the future.

As the head of the Sutra Academy, his job was to teach the sutras and educate people. If he could train one more talent for the sect, it was all his credit.

Lu Jingxu was afraid of what Gao Xian thought of Li Feihuang, so he explained, "Li Feihuang was born with a spiritual body and is extremely talented. It's just that her character is a little lacking. I took her in as my disciple because I appreciated her talent. I hope you will do me a favor and not mind her disrespect."

"These are all trivial matters. Even if Senior Brother didn't tell me, I wouldn't care."

Gao Xian casually said, "Zhang Zhengxin of Xuanzhen Sect is also very talented. I wonder if he has been accepted into the sect?"

Zhang Zhengxin left a deep impression on Gao Xian during this Qingyun Dharma Assembly. His talent was not inferior to Li Feihuang, and his ability was far superior to Li Feihuang. He was just a little narrow-minded, which was normal. Like Li Feihuang, he had a smooth life since childhood, and his reaction to setbacks was somewhat intense.

"Xuanzhen Sect is a Taoist sect, and the inheritance method does not come from our sect. There is a gap in the relationship. In addition, Zhang Zhengxin left Qingyun City that day. Even though we value his talent, we can't chase him to accept him as a disciple..."

Qingyun Sect is a big sect, and Lu Jingxu and others are very proud of it. Since Zhang Zhengxin is not tactful, they will not insist on accepting him as a disciple.

Lu Jingxu sighed again: "It's a pity that Zhang Zhengxin, who left in anger, has disappeared... Xuanzhen Sect has been looking for him for several months without any trace. He must have met with misfortune..."

"Huh?" Gao Xian was very surprised. With Zhang Zhengxin's level of cultivation, he could have escaped even if he was besieged by several foundation-building cultivators. How could he have died?

"Qingyun City is a mixed bag with all kinds of people. The evil sects have frequently appeared in recent years, so you must be careful when you go out..." Lu Jingxu said.

Gao Xian nodded. Of course he would not run around. He did not accept those dangerous missions just to have a strong sense of risk.

Going out all the time will inevitably lead to risks. It's just for some good deeds, but it's not worth it. At that time, I was a little lazy and didn't want to go out.

While Lu Jingxu and Gao Xian were chatting, the lecture hall became lively.

"Master Gao is truly amazing. I thought I was pretty good at swordsmanship, but after listening to Master Gao's class, I realized that there were several things I was fundamentally wrong with."

"So amazing, worthy of being the leader of the Qingyun Dharma Assembly. I heard that he defeated several geniuses with natural spirit bodies..."

"I'm convinced. After this lesson, I finally know how to use a sword."

"I just regret that I don't have enough time to listen to it..."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

A group of practitioners enthusiastically discussed what Gao Xian had just said, and they all admired Gao Xian very much.

Although their cultivation was not good, they were all beginners of Qingyun Sect and often attended classes at the Sutra Discussion Institute.

They can still tell whether what others say is good or bad.

Compared with other Confucian scholars in the Lunjing Academy, Gao Xian's level is obviously much higher.

The girl following Li Feihuang couldn't help but say: "Senior Sister Li, no wonder he can beat you, his sword skills are really too advanced."

Before she finished her words, she saw that Li Feihuang's face looked very ugly. Although she was a little naive, she knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly shut up.

Li Feihuang glared at the girl coldly, and the girl showed an innocent and flattering smile on her face.

Li Feihuang snorted and didn't bother to argue with this little sister who was practicing Qigong.

After all, Lu Youyou is the teacher's little disciple. She is usually lively and cute, and she has a good relationship with her. It is not good to be angry with Lu Youyou over trivial matters.

Returning to her room, Li Feihuang fell into deep thought. She felt that her performance today was a bit too embarrassing. Gao Xian was a scripture teacher, so there was no need for her to panic as if she had seen a ghost.

It was really embarrassing to do this in front of the teacher. Gao Xian was a true disciple of Shenxiao, so what? Sooner or later, she would become a true disciple of Shenxiao and condense a third-grade golden elixir.

How could Gao Xian compare with her at that time!

When Li Feihuang thought about this, she felt more confident that there was no need for her to avoid Gao Xian!

On April 15th, Gao Xian came to the Lecture Hall again for class and was somewhat surprised to find that Li Feihuang was also there.

Moreover, Li Feihuang actually saluted seriously, but why was there a bit of condescending pride in her beautiful and bright eyes, as if she was the teacher who was giving the lectures! Gao Xian was a little confused about Li Feihuang's thoughts, but he didn't care too much. If Li Feihuang had a normal mind, she wouldn't be a stupid woman.

The effect of the first class was so good that many disciples came to the second class. The huge lecture hall was packed with more than a thousand people.

Gao Xian didn't have anything to be nervous about. They were all a group of young Qigong practitioners. Even a few of them were at the foundation-building stage, which was not worth mentioning.

Although he is only in the initial stage of foundation building, his spiritual awareness, magic power, spells, and physical condition are far superior to those of ordinary foundation building cultivators.

Someone like Li Feihuang, even if he was born with a spiritual body, could not compare with him in any aspect.

When it comes to kendo, Gao Xian is absolutely confident. The combined understanding of kendo by all the people present is far inferior to his.

This is like a PhD in mathematics teaching elementary school mathematics. No matter how many elementary school students there are, their intelligence limit is limited and they can never compare with the PhD in mathematics.

Before Gao Xian came, he also reviewed Kendo and made a simple teaching plan from the simplest to the most complex.

After the second class, all the practitioners who attended the class were impressed by Gao Xian.

The master of swordsmanship is perfect, which has nothing to do with the cultivation of mana. Lu Jingxu is the Jindan Zhenren, and he also admires Gao Xian in swordsmanship.

Not to mention these ordinary practitioners, after listening to Gao Xian's class, it was like an epiphany, and they gained a real understanding of the most basic things about kendo.

After the class, thousands of Qigong practitioners spread the word about Gao Xian everywhere, calling him the Grandmaster of Kendo.

With so many people praising Gao Xian, he became famous in Qingyun Sect, which also attracted more and more people to listen to Gao Xian's classes.

By July, the name of sword master Gao Xian had spread throughout the Qingyun Sect and everyone knew him.

Even Shui Yuying, who was enjoying herself in Qingyun City, had heard of the name of Master Gao Xian of Sword Arts.

She was very disdainful. No matter how good her swordsmanship was, it was useless. Could she block her attack? Well, could she block her full-strength attack?

Considering Gao Xian's terrifying flame bomb, Shui Yuying was not sure she could kill Gao Xian with one blow.

Although Shui Yuying hated Gao Xian, there was no way she could take the initiative to deal with a true disciple of Shenxiao.

She said to herself: "A big tree attracts the wind, and a mad man brings disaster! You are so ostentatious, I think you will be in trouble soon..."

Shui Yuying was not cursing Gao Xian, but there were cultivators from all sides lurking in Qingyun City. Gao Xian was so famous that he would definitely attract a lot of attention.

It would be fine if Gao Xian stayed in Qingyun Sect, but it would be hard to say what would happen if he dared to run around outside.

The world of cultivators is full of dangers, perhaps evil spirits, perhaps demonic cultivators, perhaps powerful monsters, perhaps naturally poisonous creatures, and so on. Not to mention the cultivators who are building their foundation, even the Golden Core True Person will encounter various dangers.

Time flies and it is September. The Sword Discussion Academy organizes a trial, and five hundred cultivators go to the Wind Ape Valley to kill the wind ape.

The wind ape is a monster that moves as fast as the wind, is highly intelligent, and has a strong reproductive capacity. It can give birth to a litter of cubs in a year.

If left alone for a few years, the wind monkeys would be everywhere in the mountains. Once there were too many of these things, they would expand outward and cause great damage to the nearby markets.

The wind crystal core and fur on the wind ape are very valuable.

The trial organized by the Sword Academy this year was held in the Wind Ape Valley. The wind apes were only at level two at most, and were not a big threat to cultivators with various protective magic tools and talismans.

Gao Xian, as a scripture teacher, was also invited by Lu Jingxu to join him.

There are too many Qi training disciples, and he alone cannot take care of them all, so this time there are twelve foundation building masters traveling with him.

Gao Xian had also been in the mountains for more than half a year and wanted to come out to get some fresh air and relax.

The huge Aoki flying ship broke through the clouds and slowly descended. Gao Xian stood on the deck and could clearly see a huge rift in the mountains ahead.

At the end of September, the autumn wind was cold, and the mountains were covered with yellow and red autumn colors. The huge rift valley was like a deep purple-black wound on the gorgeous autumn colors.

Somehow, Gao Xian felt bad when he saw the Wind Ape Valley. He glanced at Lu Jingxu beside him.

Lu Jingxu looked calm, as if he hadn't sensed anything wrong. He was still enthusiastically introducing it to Gao Xian: "The Wind Ape Valley is very large, more than 2,000 miles long and wide, dividing the Cangyun Mountains into two sections. There are countless monsters hiding in it. Fortunately, the spiritual energy here is limited, so it is impossible for a third-level monster to be born..."
