Chapter 32. Heaven-grade! Blue Lotus Sword Technique!
Elder Sword carefully examined Yun Jin.
If anyone else had spoken such words, he would have found them laughable.
But Yun Jin…
This extraordinary woman who had repeatedly shocked him from the moment she appeared.
Her most impressive trait was her ability to say even the most embarrassing things with utter seriousness, as if they were true.
Just like now.
When discussing the Nascent Soul barrier for Five Element Roots, she showed no concern. Her confidence suggested she was certain she could break through.
As Elder Sword observed her, he began to smile.
“Elder Sword!” Zhao Wuji sensed trouble and spoke anxiously.
But Elder Sword calmly said, “Yun Jin, since you’re a genius, you should do what others cannot. Do you agree?”
Yun Jin nodded, “Naturally.”
“Good,” Elder Sword said slowly. “Then listen carefully. Tianxing Sect does indeed have an Earth-grade technique, the Blue Lotus Sword Technique. This technique originally came from Kunlun Sword Sect and was left here to find a fated person. Moreover, this Earth-grade Blue Lotus Sword Technique is actually just a small part of the true Blue Lotus Sword Technique. The complete version is Heaven-grade.”
Elder Sword looked at Yun Jin meaningfully.
“Oh? Heaven-grade? That might be barely worth practicing,” Yun Jin said.
Elder Sword: “……”
He really couldn’t expect this girl to say anything normal.
Elder Sword continued, “As a disciple of Kunlun Sword Sect, I also bear the responsibility of finding successors for the sect. I can authorize you to cultivate the Blue Lotus Sword Technique.”
“That’s wonderful,” Yun Jin said.
Elder Sword narrowed his eyes, “Whether one has a Natural Sword Body can only be judged by the speed of learning sword techniques. So Yun Jin, to learn the Blue Lotus Sword Technique, I have a condition.”
Yun Jin grew somewhat serious, “Please speak.”
“Within one year,” Elder Sword said slowly, “I want you to master the basics of this sword technique! If you can do this, cultivating the true Blue Lotus Sword Technique may not be impossible in the future. If you can’t…”
Elder Sword said expressionlessly, “Then you may not be the person I’m looking for.”
A Natural Sword Body was too important for Kunlun Sword Sect.
If Yun Jin’s sword talent was truly that terrifying.
Then, although a common Five Element Root would struggle to cultivate, with the full support of a holy land!
Breaking through the Nascent Soul bottleneck wouldn’t be difficult.
But to have a holy land provide all-out assistance, Yun Jin must demonstrate value that would move the entire holy land.
Mastering the basics of the Blue Lotus Sword Technique within a year.
This was Elder Sword’s condition.
“One year?” Yun Jin’s eyes widened.
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji relaxed slightly, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
He had thought Elder Sword had lost his mind, but the man was quite clear-headed.
They had all tried this Blue Lotus Sword Technique. Forget one year, they couldn’t master the basics in ten years!
For Yun Jin, a mere new disciple, to master it within a year was an impossible task.
“Afraid?” Elder Sword raised an eyebrow.
“No,” Yun Jin shook her head honestly. “I just think you’re too kind. I was thinking three months would be enough, but you’ve given me a whole year.”
Elder Sword: “……Heh.”
He needed to stay calm.
He must remain calm.
This was just Yun Jin’s unique way of speaking.
She surely didn’t really think that way.
Yes, that must be it.
Elder Sword took a deep breath and said, “So, do you agree?”
“I agree,” Yun Jin nodded directly. “But what if someone maliciously interferes with my sword practice during this year?”
Hearing this, Elder Sword gave Zhao Wuji a meaningful look.
Zhao Wuji felt somewhat embarrassed, “Such things won’t happen in Tianxing Sect. This time was just a misunderstanding.”
Elder Sword said directly, “With me here, I guarantee your safety for a year.”
“That should include my master and Senior Brothers and Sisters too. They also need to be safe,” Yun Jin added.
Elder Sword didn’t refuse, “Agreed.”
In front of Zhao Wuji, he handed Yun Jin a jade pendant, “This pendant allows direct communication with me. If you face any grievances, just tell me.”
“Thank you, Elder Sword,” Yun Jin thanked him sweetly, happily tucking away the pendant.
Her original plan was to draw out Elder Sword and use him to ensure Celestial Sword Peak’s safety for three months.
After three months, once Lin Ya’s power was restored, they wouldn’t fear anyone.
Now that Elder Sword had promised a year, it was even better.
Zhao Wuji’s gaze flickered.
A year…
Heh.
With Elder Sword’s promise, he couldn’t make a move this year.
However.
Three months later, if Lin Ya lost, he surely couldn’t keep his position as Peak Master.
Those were the sect’s rules. He would just be following them, and no one could fault him for that.
By then, even if he didn’t endanger Lin Ya’s life, wouldn’t it be easy to make things difficult for him privately?
Therefore.
Zhao Wuji just lowered his eyes, not saying much.
Elder Sword glanced at Yun Jin and took out a book with a golden cover. He said slowly, “After you return, infuse your spiritual power into the pages, and you’ll get what you seek.”
Yun Jin took it and asked, “Elder Sword, you’re just giving this to me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll leak it?”
Elder Sword calmly replied, “If others could learn it, I’d be delighted. However, I must warn you, the Blue Lotus Sword Technique is extremely dangerous. Rash attempts to learn it can lead to injury or even soul damage.”
Yun Jin noticed.
Others looking at this golden page showed no greed, only wariness.
She immediately understood.
This Earth-grade sword technique must truly be extraordinary.
But.
She wasn’t worried at all.
No matter how complex.
With step-by-step simplification.
It could become simple!
Her current simplification chances, when converted, were over 150.
Surely she could simplify it into an easy cultivation method?
“Since Elder Sword has spoken,” Zhao Wuji said, “We’ll all follow his words. Yun Jin, cultivate this sword technique well. Everyone may disperse now.”
Yun Jin frowned and said, “Disperse? Sect Leader, this doesn’t seem right.”
“Hm?” Zhao Wuji furrowed his brow.
Yun Jin expressionlessly pointed at Ruan Jun, “This person falsely accused me of stealing techniques and tried to take my life. How will this be settled?”
“We have the recording stone as evidence!” Yue Zhao immediately stepped forward. “Sect Leader, you’re not going to shield him just because he’s your chief disciple, are you?”
Elder Sword also glanced over calmly.
Ruan Jun’s expression tensed as he nervously looked at Zhao Wuji, “Master, I… I didn’t mean to.”
“If everyone could escape punishment by saying they didn’t mean it, what use are sect rules?” Yun Jin said coldly. “According to the rules, falsely accusing and attempting to harm a sect disciple should result in cultivation being crippled and expulsion from the sect. In severe cases, execution. The rules are clear, I hope the Sect Leader will act fairly.”
Ruan Jun’s face turned pale as he looked at Zhao Wuji in fear.
Previously, he had done such things many times.
But as the Sect Leader’s chief disciple, no one could touch him.
This time.
It should have been no different.
But Celestial Sword Peak had pulled out the trump card of Elder Sword. If his master truly punished him…
Ruan Jun felt his body weaken.
