Volume 6: Wangchuan Chapter 13: Leaving the Sect
His next goal is to raise his control over the sword intent of Silence to the same level as the sword intent of Killing.
The sword intent is integrated into the sword energy, and even when playing with the swimming fish, it will not scare these black carps.
In the month after comprehending the sword intent of extinction, Lu Qingshan spent most of his time on Qingyaping.
He integrated the newly realized sword intent into his own attack system, and controlled the sword intent of silence and penetration, making it as hidden as the sword intent of killing.
However, after becoming proficient, Lu Qingshan's progress stagnated.
He wanted to improve his artistic conception, but made little progress.
The power of artistic conception can rarely be achieved through meditation alone.
"Junior brother, I will not be able to feed you the sword for the next period of time." One day, after sparring with Lu Qingshan at Qingya Peak, Ji Chuan suddenly said to Lu Qingshan: "Besides, at your current level, feeding you the sword will not bring you much improvement."
Lu Qingshan had been prepared for this day.
After all, Ji Chuan is just the eldest senior brother, not anything else, and he has no obligation to always take out time to help him.
"Thank you for your help during this period, Senior Brother." Lu Qingshan expressed his sincere gratitude
"You're welcome. In fact, I could have continued to practice with you for a while, but I just happened to have some things to deal with right now." Ji Chuan waved his hand.
"Big thing?" Lu Qingshan asked with a flash of his eyes.
"It's not a big deal. Today, a small or medium-sized cultivation family under the command of our Sword Sect sent a spiritual letter asking for help. They encountered some troubles, and it is said that there seems to be the shadow of the underworld, so they asked for help from our Sword Sect." Ji Chuan said frankly.
Underworld?
A hint of murderous intent flashed across Lu Qingshan's eyes.
"It just so happens that the Samsara Sword Intent that I've been practicing has been stuck in the Unity Realm for a long time and has been unable to break through. I took the initiative to volunteer to make this trip. Who knows, maybe it will , and the Samsara Sword Intent will break through to the Perfection Realm." Ji Chuan continued.
No wonder Ji Chuan had been stuck in the Nascent Soul stage for so long and had been unable to advance to the Refining Void stage.
The sword intent of reincarnation is one of the original true meanings, so it is naturally extremely difficult to improve it.
As for the small and medium-sized cultivation families under the Sword Sect.
This matter is both simple and complicated.
The Sword Sect dominates an area.
In the states of the Eastern Region, there are numerous cultivation families and sects of all sizes, and they would pay tribute to the Sword Sect with a batch of spirit stones and spiritual materials every ten years.
In return, the Sword Sect will protect these cultivation families and sects and coordinate the various conflicts among them.
In other words, it is collecting protection money.
Among them are some affiliated families or sects, which are responsible for the mining and maintenance of the spiritual veins and mineral veins belonging to the Sword Sect.
These sects and families are called the Sword Sect.
In fact, sword cultivators do not practice anything other than sword, and they know nothing about formations, refining weapons, and alchemy.
In other words, apart from its strength, the Sword Sect itself has no means of earning resources.
But in the world of cultivators, strength is the origin of everything.
Therefore, relying on this powerful strength, the Sword Sect's life is still very comfortable.
And now, a small or medium-sized family under the Sword Sect is in trouble.
As the big brother, Jianzong would naturally send people to help solve the problem.
It's only natural.
When Lu Qingshan heard this, his heart moved slightly.
The Sword Sect stipulates that disciples cannot leave the sect until they reach the Nascent Soul stage.
But there is an additional rule.
If there were a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage or above to lead the group, leaving the sect would not be a problem.
"Senior Brother, let me go with you." Lu Qingshan suggested without hesitation.
Before Ji Chuan could object, Lu Qingshan immediately added: "Brother, you have seen that my situation is similar to that of my brother. Our sword spirit realm is stagnant and difficult to improve. In this case, it is useless to work in isolation. Instead, we should go out for a walk. Maybe we will be touched..."
"This..." Ji Chuan was embarrassed for a moment. What Lu Qingshan said was true, but he was still worried. "You joined the sect through the Seven Realms Competition. The Seven Realms Competition is the focus of everyone's attention. Similarly, the underworld must also be paying close attention to this competition. As the champion, you have a great reputation, but you have also become a thorn in the eyes of the underworld."
"Eradication of the human race's talented cultivators is one of the important tasks of the underworld," Ji Chuan explained, "I am confident that I can protect myself, but I cannot guarantee your safety."
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
How could he not have thought of what Ji Chuan had considered?
He flipped his wrist, and a dark jade appeared in his hand. "Brother, don't worry, I have this thing."
Lu Qingshan's mind moved slightly, and a wonderful ripple appeared on the spiritual jade, covering his entire body.
A moment later, the young swordsman who had been so majestic and imposing suddenly transformed into a young swordsman with an ordinary face.
"What is this?" Ji Chuan was stunned. He sent out his spiritual sense to scan Lu Qingshan, who had undergone tremendous changes, but he could not find any flaws.
The nocturnal ancient jade can create illusions and change the shape and appearance of the owner of the magic weapon. It is difficult for ordinary monks to see through this disguise.
Lu Qingshan chose this magic weapon because of this situation.
"Night-walking Ancient Jade, with this magical tool, I am no longer Lu Qingshan, but just an ordinary Jindan sword cultivator." Lu Qingshan said with a smile: "With this cover, even if the underworld finds out where you and I are, they will only notice you, brother, and won't target me too much."
"So..." Ji Chuan hesitated for a long time. Facing Lu Qingshan's eager eyes, he still couldn't bear to refuse, so he decided: "Okay, I'll take you away from the sect."
"But there are a few things you need to understand. The underworld's hand reaches far, and its intelligence spreads and penetrates deeply. Your performance in the Seven Realms Discussion was too amazing, and all your methods were put on the table. So after you and I left the sect, it is best to use less of the very personal methods you showed in the Seven Realms Discussion. For example, the Golden Core Stage is the killing sword intent that has reached the unity realm. There are not many such cultivators in the entire human race, and this characteristic is too obvious... and so on."
"That must be the case. Thank you very much, senior brother." Lu Qingshan was delighted and responded quickly.
As for the restrictions that Ji Chuan mentioned, although they are somewhat restrictive, they do not have much impact on Lu Qingshan.
Although he was not allowed to use the killing sword intent, he still had the penetrating sword intent of silirty that he had just comprehended.
Besides, if we are forced to resort to real means when the situation demands it, the worst that can happen is killing people to silence them and prevent future troubles, which will be fine.
…
There is no need for much preparation for this departure.
I don’t know what Master Xia Daoyun is busy with, and he is still not in the Sword Sect.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan didn't need to report his trip away from the sect to her.
Although Lu Qingshan knew that given Xia Daoyun's personality, he would not object to him leaving the sect, but it was always better to have fewer procedures.
As for the King of Western Rat, Lu Qingshan was not going to bring it along this time.
First, this trip probably won’t take too much time, and I think I’ll be back soon.
Secondly, with Jichuan as a foundation, they are unlikely to encounter any difficult situations.
If this situation really happened, and even Ji Chuan, who had reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage, was unable to resolve it, then more Western Rat Kings would actually be of no help.
Moreover, with the blessing of the Sword Sect's rich spiritual energy, the Western Rat King is about to break through to the middle stage of the third level.
Lu Qingshan had no intention of disturbing its practice.
