The Fourth Financial Crisis

Although the Hanguang Sword Sect is one of the six sects in the Far North, and the Haiya Sect is just a vassal sect under the Wuliang Sword Sect, due to the powerful maritime transportation power of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, the two have maintained reciprocal cooperation for thousands of years. relation.

This official visit of the Hanguang Sword Sect to Haiya City was originally supposed to be led by Gu Jianming, the Great Elder of the Hanguang Sword Sect. However, Gu Jianming was seriously injured in the action against the Wuliang Sword Sect, and even nearly damaged the foundation of his practice. Not well cultivated at all.

So Qu Jing, an old acquaintance of Yang Lu, was temporarily recruited and became the official diplomatic representative of the Hanguang Sword Sect.

As early as the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, Su Yuanfeng had introduced the two of them to each other, so Qu Jing was no stranger to Yang Lu and had long been waiting for him in his spiritual boat.

Seeing Yang Lu and Lin Musen boarding the spirit boat, Elder Qu immediately greeted with a smile: "Counsellor Yang, we meet again! I heard that you are going to Arctic State this time to visit the Arctic Cold Palace?"

Yang Lu quickly raised his hands and said, "We do have some private matters to deal with this time, please excuse me, Elder Qu."

Qu Jing knew that Consultant Yang of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was no longer what he used to be, so he waved his hand very politely: "Arctic Cold Palace and our Hanguang Sword Sect are separated by the Daxueshan Mountains. We are located south of the Daxue Mountains. It is located to the north of the Snowy Mountains, and the two sides are bounded by Qishan Prison. When you reach the boundary of the Hanguang Sword Sect, you can come to my place to sit first, and then go to the Arctic Cold Palace."

Seeing Elder Qu so enthusiastically inviting a Zhongzhou Qi Refining Stage monk to be his guest, Qu Jing's disciples all cast jealous glances. They were also Qi Refining Stage monks, and even if they shamelessly flattered Elder Qu every day, Elder Qu would still Be indifferent to yourself.

As a result, before Yang Lu opened his mouth, Elder Qu eagerly invited him to his home!

But the jealousy in their hearts would not show up, and the smiles on their faces even became brighter, and they all greeted enthusiastically: "Our Hanguang Sword Sect is famous for the scenery of the Snow Kingdom in Kyushu. If Advisor Yang wants to enjoy the snow scenery, don't Forgot to ask me to be your guide!”

"The natural hot springs in our Hidden Sword line are very famous. Not only is the hot spring water full of spiritual energy, which is of great benefit to the Qi refining monks' practice, but you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the fairies bathing in the Arctic State!"

"Senior brother, this is nonsense! Our Hanguang lineage has more beautiful monks than your Hidden Swords lineage! Who doesn't know that you, the Hidden Swords lineage, spend every day in seclusion to cultivate their swords? They are all great men."

"Junior sister, what do you mean? It was obviously me who invited Advisor Yang first!"

Seeing everyone rushing to invite Yang Lu, Qu Jing immediately stopped him and said, "Okay, don't worry about the invitation now. Consultant Yang and I have some serious matters to discuss!"

After saying that, he personally led the way, pushed aside the crowd, and led Yang Lu to the cabin where he lived.

The Flying Spirit Boat represents the face of each cultivation sect. As a super-large sect in the Arctic State, the Hanguang Sword Sect's spirit boats cannot be more shabby than those of the Haiya Sect and the Mountain Eagle Sect.

However, when Yang Lu took Lin Musen into Qujing's temporary residence, he found that the decoration of this room was extremely simple, almost like a square dojo.

But in the most conspicuous position of the room, there was a beautiful female disciple with a good figure, kneeling in the room, and holding a sword with a faint blue light in her hands in a submissive manner. She seemed to be meditating with her eyes closed.

Even with the scabbard suppressing it, Yang Lu could vaguely feel the extraordinary power of this sword. After casting his spiritual consciousness over it, he felt a sense of horror at the subconscious level of being stared at by a ferocious beast.

Noticing the strange look in Yang Lu's eyes, Qu Jing couldn't help but joked: "Does Consultant Yang have a crush on my flying sword? Or does he have a crush on my new female disciple?"

Hearing this, Yang Lu couldn't help but be a little surprised and said: "This sword is actually your natal magic weapon? Most cultivators should carefully store their natal magic weapon in a storage bag. Unexpectedly, your natal magic weapon is actually... Put it outside like this!"

Yang Lu didn't say it completely.

He actually wanted to ask why Qu Jing gave his natal flying sword to his new disciple for safekeeping.

As we all know, although the natal magic weapon is more powerful than ordinary magic weapons, it has a soul connection with the owner of the magic weapon. When it is damaged, even the owner of the magic weapon will be counterattacked. Therefore, most cultivators will carefully keep their own natal magic weapon, even if it is the most dangerous. People close to him can't rest assured either.

Hearing Yang Lu's question, Qu Jing smiled proudly and said: "I am a monk of the Hanguang Sword Sect's Hidden Sword lineage. What I am best at is the art of raising swords. As the saying goes, if you don't take out the sheath for ten years, you will see blood. If you want to cultivate the supreme sword intention from the natal flying sword, you must carry it with you at all times to nourish it. However, it is impossible for me to cultivate the sword in seclusion every day, so I will occasionally let my disciples practice in seclusion to cultivate it."

As soon as Qu Jing mentioned this, Yang Lu thought of the great elder Gu Jianming.

It is said that Elder Gu is the sword master of the Hidden Sword lineage of the Hanguang Sword Sect, and his cultivation is second only to Wu Yanjun, the sword master of the Hanguang Sword lineage and the head of the Hanguang Sword Sect.

Before the incident in Haiya City, this man had been raising his natal flying sword for thirty years. Unexpectedly, when his natal flying sword was unsheathed, what he saw was his own blood...

Although this matter is very problematic, now is obviously not the time to complain.

So Yang Lu said very politely against his will: "The swordsmanship of the Hanguang Sword Sect has its own unique way, which is very different from the swordsmanship of Zhongzhou. Even fellow swordsmen of the Wuliang Sword Sect often mention it to me!"

Qu Jing smiled and stroked his beard and said: "The fellow Taoists of the Wuliang Sword Sect are overly praised! With Bo Nanke and Ma Tianyi, two peerless sword cultivators who dominate the world, which sect's sword cultivators can dare to say they are comparable to the Wuliang Sword Sect!"

After finishing the teasing, Yang Lu pointed at the pretty female cultivator from the Arctic Cold Palace and asked: "If we chat here, will it really not disturb your disciple's retreat?"

Qu Jing tapped the magic circle under the female cultivator with his chin and introduced: "This Flying Spirit Boat is the top product of the Light Sword Sect, and this cabin is not only my living room, but also the quiet space specially set up by the Flying Spirit Boat. The configuration of the repair room is no different from that of an ordinary retreat cave. Under the influence of the formation, unless awakened by outsiders, my disciple will always be in a state of no thoughts and will never be disturbed."

Having said that, Yang Lu had a vague feeling that Qu Jing's decision to allow the beautiful disciple to retreat in his residence might not be as simple as simply raising a sword. After all, he had heard from the capitalists of the Haiya Department that many Jindan monks now like to keep swords. The beautiful disciple is used as a furnace, but he doesn’t know whether Elder Qu’s weakness can withstand the test...

However, he would definitely not ask this. He just praised the Hanguang Sword Sect for being a famous sect in the Arctic State. The speed of the flying spirit boat was thousands of miles a day, and even traveling across states did not take long. The Hanguang Sword Sect can specially set up a dojo in such a place. This skill is indeed far beyond the ordinary cultivation sects!

This compliment also made the host Qu Jing smile.

While the two were polite to each other, Elder Qu also casually summoned two futons. He sat directly on one of the futons, then tapped the other futon with his hand, and made a gesture to Yang Lu to sit down. .

As for the follower Lin Musen, although his cultivation level is much higher than that of Yang Lu, he is still not good enough in front of Qu Jing. Elder Qu will naturally not invite such a guest to worship him.
