Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Backyard.

Seeing the old man already sitting upright behind the desk with a brush in his hand.

The young man naturally took off his shirt, his back facing the old man.

The old man said softly, "This is the last time, bear with it."

The young man grinned and said, "Grandpa, just do it, it's not the first time, I can take it."

The old man smiled and patted the young man's head, saying dotingly, "You rascal."

Then his right hand quickly dipped some of the viscous liquid from the jade plate.

He used the brush to draw mysterious patterns on the young man's back.

As the brush moved, the young man's body remained as still as a rock.

Only a few beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Li Guanqi silently endured this inhuman pain, and couldn't help but let out bursts of low roars.

If the medicinal bath was like steel needles entering the body, then the current pain was like carving flesh and scraping bones!

The clear pain was a hundred times stronger than the medicinal bath!

An hour later.

When the old man lifted the golden brush, the lines on the young man's body were finally connected, emitting a strange blood-red light under the moonlight.

Seeing this scene, the old man finally smiled with relief, and couldn't help but say, "Finally done! Aren't you afraid that I would harm you, kid?"

The young man recovered for a long time, turned his head and grinned at the old man.

"If Grandpa wanted to harm me, he wouldn't have had to run to the mountains every day for so many years to find spiritual herbs for me."

"Eight years ago, he could have just let me freeze to death on the streets."

Saying this, Li Guanqi put on his clothes while lowering his head.

"Grandpa…"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Are you planning to leave?"

"……"

"Will we ever meet again?"

Su Xuan murmured with emotion, "That depends on whether you cultivate fast enough…"

Turning around to pack his things, Su Xuan's eyes turned red, and he raised his head slightly.

The old man who turned back suddenly had something appear out of thin air in his hand, something taller than the young man.

Looking at the young man who had called him Grandpa for eight years, the old man said earnestly.

"The road of cultivation is long, be careful of those who are overly nice to you even though they are not your relatives!"

"Some old monsters who have cultivated for thousands of years and have no hope of breaking through will think of crooked ways to seize your body!"

Although the young man had heard these words countless times since he was a child, he still nodded solemnly.

"My departure this time is a last resort, fraught with dangers, I dare not take you with me."

"After tomorrow, you can go down the mountain."

"This sword coffin is the most important gift I give you!"

"Remember, the sword coffin must not leave your side, you must protect it well!"

The young man was also very curious about the sword coffin in front of him, which was completely black and engraved with countless mysterious patterns.

He knew about sword boxes, but what was a sword coffin?

This thing was more than four feet tall, taller than him now.

Moreover, the old man didn't tell him anything about this sword coffin, just told him to carry it.

Li Guanqi tried to carry it, and it weighed exactly five hundred pounds!

The young man's eyes turned red, and he finally understood his grandfather's good intentions…

It turned out that it was all for this!

Also from today onwards, there was a swordsman carrying a sword coffin in this Human Spirit Realm.

The next morning.

Li Guanqi looked at the dishes on the table and was speechless for a long time.

"Grandpa… can't you even put together one hot dish out of six dishes?"

That's right, all the dishes on the table were cold dishes.

But the old man just smiled slightly, waved his hand slightly, and two exquisite jade wine cups appeared on the table.

Li Guanqi's heart trembled, and he said with a smile, "Grandpa, are you letting me drink?"

Su Xuan smiled slightly and said softly, "You will be going down the mountain tomorrow, how can you do without knowing how to drink?"

The young man grinned, picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, the spiciness immediately made him look for water everywhere.

The mellow strong wine flowed down his throat like a line of fire.

Seeing this, Su Xuan couldn't help laughing and said quickly, "You kid, slow down, how can you drink like that."

"You've turned good wine into a taste of the pugilistic world."

"Cough cough… cough… I didn't expect this thing to be so spicy!"

After a while, the young man recovered, quickly picked up two mouthfuls of vegetables and asked, "Grandpa, what should I do after I go down the mountain?"

Su Xuan knocked the young man's head with his chopsticks and said with a soft smile.

"You kid is already at the peak of body tempering."

"The next step is to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into your body to reach the Qi Refining Realm."

"At that time, with your mind's eye, it will be no different from normal eyes."

The young man's pale eyes turned, and a smile of longing appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The old man continued, "You are already fourteen years old, the age to join a sect, it's time to go down the mountain."

When Li Guanqi was very young, he was extremely eager to be able to cultivate one day.

To become an immortal in the sky, flying through the sky on a sword.

But he had also lived happily with Su Xuan for the past eight years, but he didn't expect the separation to come so quickly.

The young man picked up the vegetables and asked in a low voice, "There are countless sects in the world, not to mention the entire Great Xia Region, even this Azure Cloud Continent has countless powerful sects standing tall."

"Which sect should I join?"

He thought that the old man would think for a long time, but who would have thought that the old man would blurt out.

"Great Xia Sword Sect!"

The young man frowned slightly. After staying with Su Xuan for so many years, he had also heard a lot about the various secrets of this world.

But he had never heard of this Great Xia Sword Sect on the Azure Cloud Continent.

Su Xuan saw the young man's doubts and said softly, "Don't think about it, it's not a big force, but it is a sect with a very upright style!"

Then the old man and the young man sat in the courtyard and chatted casually, while drinking wine.

But the young man's alcohol tolerance was too poor, and he fell asleep after drinking two cups.

He was still muttering in his mouth: "What's so good about this thing…"

The old man looked at the drunken young man with a smile, and said softly in his mouth: "Whether the wine is good or not, you will know later, young man ~"

The old man took off his robe and put it on him.

The old man waved his hand and shot out three rays of spiritual light into the black sword coffin, and took a deep look at the sword coffin.

Then he took a step, shrinking the ground into inches, crossing thousands of feet, and left in the air.

The young man woke up groggily and found that the old man was gone, and was not too surprised.

Looking at the map left by Su Xuan on the table, tears had already welled up in his eyes.

The young man who picked up the map said in a bitter voice: "Grandpa… you should have left me some travel expenses!!!"

Helpless, the young man could only take all the food that could be eaten at home.

Behind him was a huge stone sword coffin, and in front of him was a large package.

Squeak ~

The young man carefully closed the door, remained silent for a long time, and finally got up and walked down the mountain.

Li Guanqi originally wanted to see the little girl from Aunt Li's family, but he found that the Meng family's door was closed, so he didn't knock.

Li Guanqi scratched his head and muttered, "Good fellow, I've walked for three full months."

Along the way, when the young man passed through cities and towns, he also heard a lot of rumors about this Great Xia Sword Sect.

The general idea was that the Great Xia Sword Sect was very good, and the area within a thousand miles was well managed, and there were almost no disasters.

"It seems that this Great Xia Sword Sect is indeed as Grandpa said, the sect's style is very upright."

Three days later, Li Guanqi appeared at the foot of the Great Xia Sword Sect.

There were constant cries of suffering in the bustling crowd.

Because in front of them was the ladder of the Great Xia Sword Sect, known as the Dust Extinguishing Road!

This ladder has three thousand three hundred and thirty-three steps.

The person in charge of the Great Xia Sword Sect stood under the steps and erected a sign.

It clearly stated on it: "Those who worship the sect must walk up the ladder by themselves, and it is forbidden to use any external objects!"

Looking at the extremely noisy crowd, Li Guanqi passed through the crowd like a fish, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and stepped directly onto the ladder.

This scene was also seen by many people.

A young man in a gorgeous robe frowned: "Who is that guy? He can still walk so fast while carrying such a big coffin!"

"This guy's physique is not weak!"

Of course, some people also felt that Li Guanqi was just trying to attract attention and would definitely lack stamina.

But… even so, it aroused the competitive spirit of many people!

But… in just a cup of tea's time, Li Guanqi left all these people behind.

Li Guanqi didn't know that he had officially started the entry test of the Great Xia Sword Sect.

He was just full of longing and expectation for this sect that his grandfather praised so much.

When Li Guanqi stepped on the first step, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.

This young man with a huge stone coffin on his back showed no signs of exertion.

The black cloth strip at the position of the young man's eyes made everyone couldn't help but look sideways.

The person in charge, who had been silent all the time, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the figure on the steps.

In his opinion, the stone coffin behind the young man weighed at least two hundred pounds, but this young man's breath was very even from beginning to end, without any signs of effort.

The person in charge suddenly flashed a gleam in his eyes and muttered.

"Such a physique… is probably comparable to the peak of body tempering!"

Whoosh!

A slight sound of breaking through the air sounded in the young man's ear, Li Guanqi frowned, and instantly exerted force under his feet, his figure suddenly moved sideways by a foot.

"Huh?"

Li Guanqi stood on the steps and bowed to the direction of the person in charge: "Uh… what was this senior going to do just now?"

The person in charge looked at the young man's swift movements and the smile on his face became even stronger.

"Little baby, don't be afraid, that's just a timing spell."

Li Guanqi scratched his head a little embarrassedly, it turned out to be a timing spell.

The person in charge wrapped his fingers around, and the yellow spell circled around Li Guanqi and finally stuck to his chest.

The person in charge said with a smile: "Go ahead, hurry up, the sooner you go up, the better."

Li Guanqi's mouth suddenly raised slightly, and he quickly cupped his fists and replied.

"Thank you for the charge, then I will go up first."

The person in charge opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he saw the young man take a deep breath, exert force under his feet, and instantly rushed upwards like a cheetah!

"Hiss… this physique! I wanted him to take off the things behind him."

Along the way, figures kept flashing past Li Guanqi's side, and he left them behind.

Li Guanqi looked down at the gradually dissipating spell on his chest, and estimated the time when the spell disappeared in his heart.

"Two hours…"

"This ladder that can't be seen to the end has at least a few thousand steps, it's not a simple matter."

Looking back at the foot of the mountain, Li Guanqi couldn't help but sigh.

"There are too many people…"

Roughly calculating, there are at least nearly thirty to forty thousand people at the foot of the Great Xia Sword Sect.

There are nearly ten thousand boys and girls aged twelve to fourteen.

The rest are family members and servants.

"It seems that joining the sect is not as simple as I thought…"

"I heard that last year, there were more than 18,000 people who joined the Great Xia Sword Sect, and only nearly a hundred people were accepted as disciples."

However, just as Li Guanqi was rushing upwards while dazing off, a thin young man was running alongside him.
