Wouldn’t that mean that formal disciples would be given spiritual weapons and flying swords?
Is this the hidden sect?
Love it, love it.
"What's there to be happy about with just a top-grade flying sword? Junior brother, remember what my senior brother said. A true swordsman is not strong because of his flying sword, but because the flying sword is strong because of you."
"Even if someone gave me a peerless flying sword right now, I wouldn't care, because it's me who is strong, not the sword. If I rely on external things, I will eventually lose myself. Only when I am strong myself can I be truly strong. Do you understand?"
A hint of seriousness appeared on Su Changyu's aloof face.
Su Changyu himself believed this profound truth.
It has to be said that Su Changyu feels that he is becoming more and more proficient in fooling his junior fellow apprentice.
"I am grateful for your advice, Junior Brother. In this case, I do not want this flying sword anymore."
Ye Ping spoke, his eyes full of determination.
But after saying this, Su Changyu felt a little embarrassed.
Ye Ping must accept this flying sword. If Taoist Taihua knows that he has embezzled Ye Ping's flying sword, Taoist Taihua will probably not let him go.
Thinking of this, Su Changyu coughed lightly and then spoke.
"There is no need to do so. The Qingzhou Sword Competition is about to begin. Your cultivation is mediocre, so using this flying sword is a bit of an advantage. Try your best to help the sect get a good ranking."
Su Changyu said so.
However, the next moment, Ye Ping was a little surprised.
"Qingzhou Kendo Tournament?"
Chapter 63 True Hidden Sect [New Book Request Everything]
Ye Ping was a little surprised.
He had heard of the Qingzhou Kendo Conference and had heard of it when he attended the Ascension Conference.
But at that time, Ye Ping didn't even have the qualifications to join the immortal sect, let alone know about the Qingzhou Kendo Conference.
"Yes, it is the Qingzhou Kendo Tournament."
Su Changyu nodded and answered Ye Ping.
"Brother, can I join?"
Ye Ping seemed a little curious.
Qingzhou Kendo Tournament sounds very impressive.
I calculated that I had been cultivating to become an immortal for less than two months.
Just let yourself attend this kind of conference?
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I lost?
"Junior brother, as a cultivator of my generation, why should I be afraid of fighting?"
"If you are afraid of this and that, how can you talk about cultivating immortals?"
Su Changyu said seriously.
"Brother, I'm not afraid. I just feel that after practicing for such a long time, I have only comprehended the Four Thunder Sword Forces. I haven't fully comprehended the Heavenly River Sword Force. I'm worried that it will bring shame to the sect."
Ye Ping was not afraid, as this kind of meeting would not hurt anyone's life, and basically it would stop at a certain point. But Ye Ping was mainly worried about bringing shame to Qingyun Taoist Sect.
This is the trouble.
Otherwise, if you lose, you lose, and there is no burden.
However, these words were particularly harsh in Su Changyu's ears.
What does it mean that I have only comprehended the Four Thunder Sword Forces?
Are you using the word "talent" to humiliate all the sword cultivators in Qingzhou?
As an insider who once participated in the Qingzhou Kendo Conference, Su Changyu knows the Qingzhou Kendo Conference very well.
There are indeed geniuses, but those so-called geniuses are nothing in front of Ye Ping.
Su Changyu remembered that the cultivator who ranked first in his class had only barely comprehended Xia Lei's sword style.
Ye Ping has already comprehended all the Four Thunder Sword Forces, so isn't this just a matter of going through the motions?
But Su Changyu knew in his heart that some things could not be said too clearly, and Ye Ping had to figure it out on his own. Otherwise, the more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so it would be better not to say anything.
"Don't worry, little brother. I asked you to participate in the Qingzhou Sword Competition not because I want you to win first place, but because I want you to use this opportunity to hone your Dao heart."
"You practice swordplay here all day long, facing a sword mark. Even if you have learned many sword techniques and sword moves, what good will it do? Without actual combat experience, you will never be able to grow."
"Ye Ping, remember, a real demon will not stand there and let you kill it, nor will it stand there and let you use all your sword moves before fighting you."
"do you know?"
Su Changyu's profound truths resounded in Ye Ping's ears like a huge bell.
All of a sudden, Ye Ping understood.
"Big Brother, I understand."
Ye Ping spoke seriously.
He felt that every word Su Changyu said today was as precious as pearls and every sentence was as valuable as gold.
He sat under the cliff all day, comprehending the ways of swordsmanship, alchemy, and formations.
But without practice, you will never grow and will always be just a theorist.
Yes, no matter how strong the enemy is, if you don’t even have the courage to draw your sword, how can you talk about cultivating immortals?
As the sage said, hesitation leads to defeat.
Thinking of this, Ye Ping couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at Su Changyu.
"Big Brother, I am willing to participate in the Qingzhou Kendo Conference. I don't seek a ranking, but I do hope to have no regrets."
Ye Ping's blood boiled at Su Changyu's words.
Su Changyu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Very good, you finally look like a swordsman."
"However, there is still a month until the Qingzhou Kendo Tournament. Considering the travel time, you don't have much time left."
"Considering that you are still a beginner, I would like to give you some guidance. Are you willing?"
Su Changyu continued speaking and looked at Ye Ping.
"Junior brother, of course you are willing."
With Su Changyu personally instructing him, Ye Ping would definitely be willing to do it.
Who wouldn't want to be taught the way of sword by a peerless swordsman?
"it is good."
Su Changyu nodded, then he held the Qingyue sword in his hand and slashed it directly on the ground.
A new sword mark appeared.
The next moment, Su Changyu's voice rang out.
"Junior brother, from today on, you will take five hours out of the twelve hours every day to comprehend this sword mark. Senior brother has left a supreme sword technique in this sword mark."
"If you comprehend this sword technique, from now on, all other sword techniques in the world will be defeated by you. But if you want to comprehend this sword technique, you have to spend five hours out of the remaining seven hours to practice sword techniques."
"You don't need to practice the Four Thunder Swordsmanship, nor do you need to practice the Tianhe Swordsmanship. You only need to practice the basic skills: stabbing, picking, chopping, wiping, pulling, lifting, breaking, and tapping."
"Senior Brother will come to see you from time to time these days. If you don't understand something, just ask directly. Got it?"
Su Changyu said with a serious expression.
However, the reason why he did this was not to fool Ye Ping.
But Su Changyu knew that if Ye Ping participated in the Qingzhou Kendo Conference, he would definitely win the first place, and Ye Ping would also discover some clues.
After all, the opponents are so weak and I am so strong, even a fool can notice that something is wrong, right?
So Su Changyu deployed a move in advance, allowing Ye Ping to continue to comprehend new sword moves, but Su Changyu knew that Ye Ping would definitely not be able to comprehend it. However, Su Changyu had already thought of a countermeasure and would say something when the time came.
You have already realized it, but you just don't realize it.
One sentence can solve the problem perfectly.
As for what if Ye Ping really figured it out.
That’s not a loss, right?
At most, I can only prove that I am a waste again. What's the big deal? I am a waste to begin with. Have I ever denied it?
So, no matter whether Ye Ping could understand it or not, he would say that he had understood it.
Anyway, he is good at fooling his junior fellow apprentices.
Just as I said, no matter it is made up or true, if you can understand it, it proves that what I taught is correct. If you can't understand it, it means you have poor aptitude. If you have poor aptitude, who can you blame?
Seeing how useless you are, have you ever blamed Taoist Taihua?
Therefore, we should make preparations in advance. If Ye Ping really wins the first place in the Qingzhou Kendo Competition, then the sword moves that I am teaching now will be useful.
As for Ye Ping, after he becomes the number one swordsman in Qingzhou, will he be poached by other sects?
Su Changyu and Taoist Taihua also discussed this on the way here.
Taoist Taihua’s meaning was very simple. As long as Qingyun Taoist Sect was promoted to the third level, he would tell Ye Ping the truth directly.
Whether to leave or stay depends entirely on Ye Ping's decision.
As for the money from the sale of the paintings, Taoist Taihua will try his best to repay Ye Ping.
But one thing to say is that Qingyun Taoist Sect actually taught Ye Ping a lot of things. At least the Four Thunder Sword Technique and Tianhe Sword Technique were taught by Su Changyu, right?
Is there any non-toxic elixir?
As I said, don’t worry about whether it is fabricated or not, just look at the results.
The fact that Ye Ping has mastered it proves that there is no problem with everything he has been taught.
If you fail to perform the exercise, you can blame the sect, but if you succeed, you cannot blame the sect.
It was precisely because he figured this out that Su Changyu no longer had any psychological burden.
"As you command, Junior Brother."
Looking at the new sword marks on the ground, Ye Ping was extremely excited, and he did not have any reluctance at all.
"Okay, put the flying sword away. There are four formations in this flying sword, one of which is the enlargement and reduction formation. When you officially step into the first level of Qi training, you can use magic power to inject into the sword and adjust its size. Brother has something else to ask you, so you should study it carefully. Come to me if you have any questions."
Su Changyu left these words and then left on foot.
Ye Ping also concentrated on comprehending the sword marks.
That's when.
In Qingzhou.
A man stood under a waterfall.
The young man was practicing swordplay in the waterfall, and the terrifying water pressure didn't seem to have any effect on him.
And as the man continued to swing his sword.
In an instant, a horrific explosion sounded.
The entire waterfall actually flowed backwards, and the terrifying sword force swept across the surrounding area for hundreds of meters, shaking the towering ancient trees and startling countless birds and beasts.
Just at this moment, an old man in a black cloak slowly appeared here, looking at the man with extremely calm eyes.
"I've met Master."
The man jumped directly from the waterfall and came in front of the old man.
"Minghao, you were able to comprehend the Four Great Sword Powers from the Four Thunder Sword Technique in just five years. You are indeed a natural talent in swordsmanship."
The old man's voice sounded, he looked at the man in front of him and praised him from the bottom of his heart.
