Hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on San San Ju Shi’s face.
Then he saw his large sleeve wave, and slapped a gust of clear wind towards Xu Taiping in front of him.
In an instant, a vast ocean of swordsmanship comprehension appeared in Xu Taiping’s mind.
Just as the Third Third Layman said earlier, there are no sword moves, no mental method formulas. All that’s taught is how to nourish the sword, how to hide the sword, and how to gradually forget that you even have a sword.
“Before hiding the sword, one must make the sword cry.”
“And it must be a cry that astonishes the world. Otherwise, what you hide is not a sword, but just a piece of rotten wood.”
“Conversely, the louder and more astonishing the sword cry, when the sword is drawn again, it will surely make the people of this world tremble.”
The Third Third Layman continued to speak.
“Third Third Elder, what counts as astonishing the world？”
XuTaipingasked, puzzled.
“Naturally, it is to let the people of this world know that you, Xu Taiping, have a sword that can move mountains and drain seas, can slay demons and subdue monsters, and can be invincible under the heavens.”
The Third Third Layman said with a tone full of pride.
“For example, this time you go to the Xianhu Cave Heaven, it is an excellent opportunity to make the sword cry.”
He then reminded Xu Taiping again.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping showed a look of sudden realization on his face.
That’s right. Only a sword that makes people afraid is worth hiding. What’s the use of hiding a piece of rotten wood？
“Thank you, Third Third Elder, for your guidance.”
He sincerely said a word of thanks.
“If you really want to thank me, when you go to the Xianhu Cave Heaven, cut down all the plum trees beside the path leading to the peak on the west side of Yuhu Mountain and bring them back to me.”
The Third Third Layman stood with his hands behind his back in the middle of the water pool and said.
“Elder, what do you want these plum trees for？”
Xu Taiping was puzzled.
“The charcoal burned from the plum trees on Yuhu Mountain is used to warm the wine, and the taste is unique.”
Sansan Jushi said lightly.
Xu Taiping was dumbfounded.
He just felt that the hobby of this Sansan Jushi was really a bit unique.
“Whoosh！”
Just then, Sansan Jushi suddenly waved his sleeve, summoned the sword inserted on the cliff wall, and then gently pushed the tail of the sword handle with his finger, pushing it in front of Xu Taiping.
“This sword is called Rust Lion. It is a righteous sword raised by the Confucian school with the righteousness of Haoran. It once had the good reputation that when Rust Lion came out, all evils retreated and all demons were scared. However, once the user wants to do unjust things, the sword body will rust and make it unusable, so it has been abandoned many times and has been dusty for a long time.”
Sansan Jushi introduced to Xu Taiping.
“Elder Sansan, you, do you want to give this Rust Lion…”
“Lend it to you.”
Xu Taiping, who was full of excitement and just wanted to ask if Elder Sansan wanted to give Rust Lion to himself, didn’t expect to be interrupted halfway through speaking.
“Thank you, Elder Sansan, for lending the sword.”
After a slight hesitation, Xu Taiping immediately clasped fists and thanked.
It’s also good to be able to borrow.
……
Qiyuexuan.
“Sansan Jushi’s attainments in swordsmanship are not weaker than those of some old guys I used to know.”
After listening to Xu Taiping’s account of how Third-Third Scholar gave him a lecture on the sword today, Fairy Lingyue reevaluated him.
Especially this theory of Concealing the Sword. In my original cultivation world, there was also a Sword Immortal who was proficient in this way. His sword would not make a sound, but once it did, it would astonish the world. Legend has it that before his ascension, with the sword he had nurtured for one hundred thousand years, he first slew five extraterrestrial demons who came to block his ascension, along with the tribulation thunder above his head.
The Concealing the Sword Style of this Third-Third Scholar has the same wonderful effect as the swordsmanship of that Sword Immortal.
Fairy Lingyue continued.
Rather than the power of this Concealing the Sword Style, what is more important is that it happens to fit with my state of mind.
If I want to defend against the enemy and slay demons and monsters, I already have fists and a saber, which are enough.
And the function of the sword for me is that when I can’t raise my fists or saber, I still have a five-foot long sword to take refuge in.
Xu Taiping said with a burning gaze.
Today’s words of Third-Third Scholar had a great impact on him.
The best thing your Peak Master did was to let this Third-Third Scholar teach you how to practice the sword.
Fairy Lingyue said with a smile.
Xu Taiping also smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.
Ever since he came to the Seven Peaks, Peak Master Zhao Qian had basically left him to fend for himself. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he didn’t care about him at all.
By the way, Sister Lingyue, that sword still hasn’t come out？
Xu Taiping suddenly asked Fairy Lingyue.
“No.”
Fairy Lingyue shook her head.
“I’m afraid the sword in that bamboo won’t be able to go with you this time, and I can only leave a wisp of divine sense in the gourd and won’t be able to help you much.”
She said with some regret.
Regarding the ripening time of the earthly fruit, she could only estimate and couldn’t get an exact date. Maybe it would ripen as soon as Xu Taiping left.
Fortunately, Fairy Lingyue had already absorbed most of the power of another bamboo. Even if she couldn’t come out of the bamboo, she could still separate a wisp of divine sense and put it into the gourd to go to the Immortal Gourd Cave with Xu Taiping.
“It doesn’t matter. Coincidentally, Layman Sansan agreed to lend me Rusty Lion.”
Xu Taiping shook his head and happily took down a long sword from his waist.
“This Rusty Lion should be a spiritual sword and is more than enough for you to use.”
Fairy Lingyue nodded and then said：
“Actually, with your current cultivation level, and the Demon-Slaying Saber, the Great Sage Green Ox Fist, and the Teleportation you have mastered, as long as you don’t encounter those few sleeping. you are more than capable of breaking into the Immortal Gourd Cave alone. Whether you bring that sword or not doesn’t matter much.”
In the past three years, apart from making great progress in the Sword Control Technique, Xu Taiping’s cultivation has also broken through to the great completion of the Wangyou Realm. The “Demon-Slaying Knife”, the “Green Ox Great Sage Fist”, and the movement technique “Instantaneous Movement” have also made great progress.
Even the most difficult to cultivate “Crimson Crow Golden Flame Art”, now the first level has been mastered, and a group of Crimson Crow Golden Flame can be condensed within more than ten breaths.
Xu Taiping nodded upon hearing this.
In the past three years, he has also made full preparations.
”Xu Taiping, you’re not going to leave us behind again this time, are you？”
At this time, Bai Yu’s claws were grasping Ping an. and it flapped its wings and flew to the front of Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue.
”I would like to, but the Immortal Gourd Cave strictly prohibits bringing spirit beasts in. Once discovered, one will be directly expelled, and even the affiliated sect will be implicated, and there will be no way to obtain the qualification to enter in the future.”
Xu Taiping said helplessly.
Hearing what he said, Bai Yu and Ping’an suddenly deflated.
”Xu Taiping, I overheard from the mountain spirit birds that the Peacock King will be taken out of the dungeon by the Qilv Hall and beheaded next month.”
Bai Yu suddenly flew to the top of Xu Taiping’s head.
”I suspect that although the Qingxuan Sect seemingly wants to behead it, in fact, they want to release it. Several of the Peacock King’s generals were hijacked away just like this a year ago.”
It continued to speak with a cold tone.
“One month？ Then when I come out from the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven, it will still be in time.”
Xu Taiping thought for a while and then nodded.
As early as a year or two ago, he and Bai Yu had discussed this matter together. After the Peacock King was released from the dungeon, if the Qingxuan Sect could kill it, that would be fine. If they still protected it, the two of them would take action to intercept and kill it.
Even the location of the interception and killing, and some specific arrangements, the two of them had roughly finalized.
“Taiping, with my current strength, it is more than enough to kill that Peacock King, so I think there is no need to involve you…”
“No way！”
Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, Xu Taiping interrupted it.
