Chapter 70 A Sword's Frost Chills Across Fourteen Provinces (Part 3)
Meanwhile, Tian Shu Peak Sect Master Tantai Mingshu was still marveling at how extraordinary this Broken Yue Peak was, finding such a promising talent with just one move.
He saw several figures arrive at the main peak. He naturally knew why they had come, but things could not go as they wished.
Tantai Mingshu stood above the main hall and addressed the peak masters standing below: "Everyone, this is the new disciple of Uncle Poyue. I am not very clear about the specifics. If you have any questions, you can ask Uncle Poyue yourself."
The peak masters looked at each other in bewilderment. They dared not go to find the Sword Master Po Yue. Well, it seemed that the matter was probably hopeless.
Only Lei Yun Daoist remained, asking in a low voice, "Is that Luo Shu?"
The sect leader naturally heard these words, but did not reply to Daoist Lei Yun. He knew about Luo Shu's self-destruction of her sword bone that day. Such a good natural sword bone was wasted. If this natural sword bone had grown up, it would have been a pillar of the sect in the future. Just for this reason, he was somewhat angry with Daoist Lei Yun.
Who would have thought that Luo Shu would have such good fortune, and be favored by the Sword Master of Broken Mountain, who took her in as his personal disciple? Now he has to call Luo Shu his junior sister.
This proves that Sword Master Po Yue was right. Experience is indeed valuable; even at the Foundation Establishment stage, he already showed extraordinary signs, making him another unparalleled prodigy.
Lei Yun Daoist left somewhat dejectedly, unaware that he and Luo Shu had become like this.
It turns out that the little girl also obediently called him "Master" with adoring eyes. Later, he took in another disciple and may have neglected Luo Shu. But why did he have to be so resolute as to destroy the sword bone?
Lei Yun Dao Ren had no idea that he would later draw Luo Shu's sword bone for Miao Qi Qi's sake. He was truly bewildered and at a loss at that moment, and it was also true that he later became ruthless towards Luo Shu.
It is said that people's hearts are fickle and the world is unpredictable.
The atmosphere at Qingyun Peak was somewhat somber. The scene of Luo Shu personally drawing the sword bone that day was too horrifying. In recent days, several direct disciples of Qingyun Peak had been silently reflecting on whether they had gone too far in their treatment of Luo Shu.
Since Miao Qiqi came to Qingyun Peak, she has become increasingly close to her senior brothers, being lively, cute, and charming. Luo Shu has gradually drifted away from them, and they have increasingly ignored her existence.
She was like a transparent person, completely out of place with everyone.
Moreover, she wore that black iron mask all day long, and her sensitive personality caused their hearts to lean towards their junior sister more and more each day.
But they all forgot that she was once their junior sister!
It's all in vain to say anything now. Luo Shu has already left Qingyun Peak. She has withdrawn the sword bone from her body, and her cultivation has plummeted. Perhaps her immortal destiny has been severed, and they will never have the chance to meet again. She will be sad for a couple of days and then it will be over.
They didn't know that Luo Shu had become the disciple of the Broken Mountain Sword Master, and that they would have to call Luo Shu "Uncle-Master" when they saw her in the future.
Miao Qiqi was lively and adorable, and often begged her senior brothers to take her down the mountain to play and buy things. Her senior brothers also enjoyed their little junior sister's coquettishness, so how could they ask her to force her to cultivate on the mountain every day?
Moreover, Miao Qiqi was very popular. On her way down the mountain, she made many friends. Several talented disciples from the three sects and six schools became her friends, and she had a good reputation within the sect. In just seven or eight years, the cultivation world had heard that the Giant Sword Sect had a junior sister who was lively and cute and was very popular with spirit beasts. Her name was Miao Qiqi.
Even without much cultivation, with the abundance of spiritual herbs and treasures, she has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, just one step away from entering the Golden Core stage. This cultivation speed is quite impressive.
While Wen Baiyun, the disciple with the highest cultivation among the Qingyun Peak disciples, had not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, Luo Shu had already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage.
It's not that she can't break through the Golden Core to become a Nascent Soul, but the Sword Master of Breaking the Mountain intentionally lets her accumulate more power before breaking through the Golden Core. She has extraordinary talent, and the Golden Core tribulation is extremely terrifying. The Nascent Soul tribulation will only be more powerful. The more she accumulates, the easier it will be to overcome the tribulation.
Over the past few years, Luo Shu has practiced swordsmanship every day without fail, read through hundreds of classic texts, and learned thousands of sword techniques until she finally comprehended a trace of sword intent that belonged to her.
After years of profound accumulation, when she reached the Golden Core stage at the peak of Foundation Establishment, she finally comprehended her own sword intent.
The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things.
All things are equal, the Great Way is ruthless yet compassionate, Heaven and Earth are indifferent, treating all things as straw dogs.
Her sword is both ruthless and compassionate. Ruthless because it is devoid of any selfish desires, and compassionate because all things are equal in Luo Shu's eyes.
Sword Master Poyue knew that Luo Shu had comprehended such sword intent. He looked at her for a long time with a complicated expression. No wonder his disciple had strange phenomena during the lightning tribulation. This was the Great Dao rejoicing and welcoming a Dao Lord!
Luo Shu had removed the black iron mask from her face, revealing a beautiful and refined appearance. Her features were exquisite and stunning, and compared to her, everything else seemed unbearable to look at.
However, there were red spots on her right cheek, as if peach blossoms were standing on her snow-white, tender cheek. This was a peach blossom curse.
It's not just any poison, but a curse. This Peach Blossom Curse nourishes the body, but once one falls in love, it becomes a death warrant. Not only will one's cultivation decline, but one will also age like an ordinary person day by day until death.
To make a cultivator watch himself slowly grow old and die—what a terrifying punishment that would be.
However, why this "Peach Blossom Curse" appeared on Luo Shu still needs further investigation.
However, seeing the sword intent that Luo Shu comprehended, Sword Master Po Yue was no longer worried about the Peach Blossom Curse. His disciple only had the Great Dao in her heart, and she would not be bound by romantic love.
On this day, Tantai Mingshu suddenly came to Poyue Sword Peak. It was mainly because it was the day when the disciples entered the Sword Pavilion to choose their swords. He thought that his junior sister had not yet chosen a sword, and he was curious about her, so he took the initiative to ask her.
Looking at his nephew, the Sect Master, Po Yue Sword Venerable knew what he was planning, but considering his disciple's sword intent, he doubted that any famous sword could refuse a Dao Lord! It would then be up to Luo Shu to decide.
He called Luo Shu over. Tantai Mingshu slowly sipped his tea, staring longingly at the door, wanting to see what his junior sister looked like.
Luo Shu wore a blue Taoist robe, her long black hair tied up with a lotus crown, like a plum blossom in winter or green bamboo in the wind. What was most stunning was her temperament, calm and composed, dignified and self-possessed, which made her beautiful eyebrows and eyes not frivolous at all, but like an unapproachable cold moon, making people hesitate to approach her.
Tantai Mingshu was amazed by this junior sister. Moreover, her cultivation was solid, already at the peak of the Golden Core stage. She was only twenty years old, and she had also removed her sword bone and started cultivating from scratch. In just over ten years, she had reached this level of cultivation. Looking at the past and present, there was no one like her.
Look at how solid Junior Sister's Golden Core is; she'll probably enter the Nascent Soul stage soon. Truly, she has monstrous talent!
Po Yue Sword Master said, "This is your Senior Brother Tantai, who is also the Sect Master of our Juque Sword Sect."
"Luo Shu greets Senior Brother. I hope you are well."
Luo Shu raised her hand in greeting to Tantai Mingshu, who was very hospitable and gave Luo Shu a defensive bracelet as a gift. The three of them then discussed Luo Shu's choice of sword and agreed that Luo Shu would go with Tantai Mingshu the next day before they parted ways.
