Chapter 176.
Peach Blossom Little Valley, a name Wang Dust had given himself.
Previously, he thought that this place belonged to an unowned land, but he didn’t expect that it was actually a mausoleum set up by a Purple Mansion Lord for his deceased wife.
In fact, without Changchun’s instructions, it would be impossible for Wang Chen to come back to this small valley.
The peach forest at the entrance of the valley was still blooming, with millions of peach blossoms smiling at the spring breeze, as if the time had stayed half a month ago, without the slightest change!
Wang Chen took out the peach wood talisman that Changchun had given him and injected magic power to activate it.
When he stepped into the peach forest, the peach trees in front of him moved away from side to side without a sound, revealing a path covered with colorful pebbles that curved to the depths of the valley.
Wang Chen walked forward along this forest path without encountering any obstacles.
As the mountain wind whipped by, the peach branches swayed and countless petals quietly drifted down.
A few pieces were stained on his body.
The dark fragrance was fragrant.
Wang Dust’s mind gradually became calm and serene with his footsteps.
At this time, the sound of a ghostly xiao came into his ears, like someone was pouring out an ancient story.
Following the sound, Wang Chen once again came to the depths of the valley.
He only saw the gray-robed Changchun sitting on the rock by the water pool, holding a jade xiao and gazing at the waterfall in front of him.
Wang Chuan respectfully saluted, “Disciple Wang Chuan, I have met Elder.”
Changchun put away his jade xiao and waved his robe sleeve, abruptly appearing in front of Wang Chen.
This Violet Mansion Elder narrowed his narrow eyes, swept a glance at Wang Dust, nodded his head and said, “I will give you one last chance, named disciple, one thousand lower spirits.”
His words were simple and concise.
Wang Dust heard them clearly and without thinking, he bent his head in a great salute, “Disciple Wang Dust, Greetings to Master!”
This was the second time Changchun expressed his intention to take him as a disciple.
If Wang Chen refused again, it would really be too much of a disrespect to this Violet Mansion Superior.
Moreover, he had long since realized that Changchun was by no means as cowardly and incompetent as people said, and that he was a “tofu” superior.
Wang Chen immediately pulled out a Yin Qi Bead from his storage bag.
As well as one hundred and fifty lower spirits.
He apologized and said, “Disciple only has this much in hand, can I pay first and then make up later?”
In fact, participating in the Yunyang Sect’s boundary clearing operation, Wang Chen had made a fortune.
Even if all those magic weapons and dan talismans hadn’t been paid out yet, a thousand spirit stones could still be put together.
But directly shelling out so many spirit stones would not fit his persona.
Crying appropriately about being poor was still necessary!
“It’s about time.”
Changchun ingested the Yin Qi Bead and Spirit Stones that Wang Chen offered with both hands, and a smirk flashed across his eyes, “From today onwards, you are my seventh named disciple.”
Seventh named disciple?
Wang Chen was surprised in his heart.
Changchun was notoriously greedy for money, as long as there were enough spirit stones, then he could give any place in the True Transmission.
Why were there so few named disciples at a much cheaper price?
Changchun saw Wang Chen’s doubt, but had no intention of explaining.
He pinched the Yin Qi Bead and said, “The fact that you were able to strike the Yin Qi Bead means that you are very lucky and hope to live for a few more years.”
Everyone knew that there was a certain probability that an evil spirit would drop a yin qi bead after it was busted.
However, very few cultivators went to fight evil spirits for Yin Qi beads.
Because the probability was really low.
Those who were unlucky might finish off hundreds or thousands of evil spirits without any gains!
This was also the fundamental reason why the evil nests that existed in the outer domains would not be cleaned up as long as the threat was not too great.
However, these few words from Changchun made Wang Chen suddenly have the feeling of falling into a pit, and cautiously asked, “Master, then my senior brothers?”
Are they still alive today?
“You only have one senior sister.”
Changchun replied indifferently, “There are no more senior brothers.”
Wang Chen was speechless.
Being Changchun’s disciple was so risky?
He was tempted to ask if he could get a refund!
As a result, Changchun put away the Yin Qi Bead and with his hands in the air, he said, “I have three swords, one is called Running Thunder, one is called Four Seasons, and one is called Acacia, which sword do you want to learn?”
I want them all!
Wang Chun was instantly energized, and immediately put the idea of a refund behind him, “How many spirit stones?”
He was able to hear the arrogance and confidence contained in Changchun’s words.
This Violet Mansion Superior was undoubtedly proficient in swordsmanship!
Now that the tuition was paid, of course he had to learn some skills back.
However, Wang Chen was considered to know this cheap master’s temperament very well.
Changchun glanced at him.
Eyes full of gratification, “The law is not lightly passed on, Running Thunder 5,000, Four Seasons 30,000, Acacia is priceless!”
Wang Chen: “Uh ……”
“I know you can’t afford to learn it.”
Changchun was very good at talking, “That’s fine, it’s not too late to learn when you’ve gathered enough spirit stones, right now what you need is to tamp down your foundation, demonstrate the Royal Sword Art to me once.”
“Yes.”
Wang Dust bowed and saluted, taking two steps back to take out the Fire Crow Sword: “Please also teach me, Master!”
Since the original master’s cultivation, to the point where Wang Dust had taken over until now, apart from the free lectures he had listened to, he had never received any words, teachings, or guidance from the seniors in terms of cultivation.
Basically, he relied on his own learning and comprehension.
With such an opportunity at hand, of course Wang Chen would not miss it!
Clang!
The Fire Crow Sword was sheathed steeply and leapt into the sky under his control, stabbing, chopping, slashing, winding, pointing, crashing, and intercepting ……
The nine basic sword styles were practiced one by one.
In the sky above the valley, for a while, the sword light was dazzling, circling and flying, suddenly fast and slow, with an amazing momentum!
Wang Chen revealed his comprehension and mastery of the Imperial Sword Art without reservation.
This was not the time to hide his clumsiness.
If one wanted to receive true guidance from this Violet Mansion Superior, one first had to let the other party understand one’s own situation.
Only then could he prescribe the right medicine.
“Enough.”
As a result, before Wang Dust had finished all of his maneuvers, Chang Chun suddenly probed his hand and ingested the Fire Crow Sword in the air.
A flying sword that Wang Dust had sacrificed day and night fell into his palm without resistance.
Wang Chen almost spewed out a mouthful of blood and hurriedly adjusted the disordered breath in his body!
“That’s not how swords are practiced!”
Changchun mercilessly scolded, “At your young age, your sword practice is full of craftsmanship, neatness is neatness, but spirituality is completely absent, how can you prove sword intent?”
Wang Chen was speechless.
Although he had worked very hard, objectively speaking, his Sword Art level was brushed up by the Immortal Cultivation Panel.
With no guidance and relying on his own hard work, it was actually quite normal to receive such a rating.
After all, Wang Chen didn’t have any excessive talent in the Dao of the Sword.
He also had no intention of becoming a true sword cultivator.
“But your foundation is solid.”
Changchun’s words changed, “I will now show you what a true sword technique looks like!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he held the sword in his left hand, and with his right index and middle fingers together, he wiped across the body of the Fire Crow Sword saber.
Spinning around, he threw it upwards!
The Fire Crow Sword that was thrown into the air steeply shook, and the sword body’s spiritual light flourished.
The little bit of spirituality that had originally been damaged by the Blood Godchild was not only completely restored, but also revealed a few moments of spirituality.
In the next moment, the sword light bloomed!
