From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 213: Sword Viewing in Zhaojian Tower

On the fifth night, the fifth auxiliary brew 'Tian Lao' was finally brewed with 'Mi Gu Cao' as the medicine.

Tianlao Fujiu can help people think more quickly, improve their understanding and perception of qi.

In this way, Ke He, the Seven Assistants, has received five of them, and his entire constitution has been reborn.

What is “Yunxin”?
Under Ke He's constant questioning out of curiosity, when it was almost dawn, Li Yang finally revealed that he would take her to collect cloud hearts that night.

So, in curiosity and anticipation, Ke He's fifth day in Yuanjun Temple passed by quickly.

It was also on the fifth day that something big and small happened in Yuanjun Temple.

Xia Jiajie, who had been at the tail end of the sixteen reserve sword masters, broke through to Qi Ling.

As soon as the news came out, Xia Jiajie was visited by the instructor and went to Zhaojian Tower with him.

The Bixia Yuanjun is worshipped in Yuanjun Temple.
The Zhaojian Tower was built in the Qing Dynasty. It is an ancient tower that was originally used to protect and store a treasure of the Yuanjun Temple: the "Tianxian Zhaojian" jade seal.

In ancient times, this seal was only kept by the Taoist priest who was the abbot of the Bixia Temple, and it was kept secret. The Atlas of Ancient Jade also states: "The Bixia Temple used to have a jade seal with the inscription '天仙照镜', and a dark blue dragon button... In the Gengshen year of the Qianlong reign, the temple was destroyed by fire, and the inscriptions of previous dynasties, such as the 29 characters of Qin Xiang, were all lost. This seal was found among the ashes, intact as before, and someone has taken good care of it."

The jade seal "Heavenly Fairy's Mirror" has survived all the disasters and in order to preserve it properly, the government stored it in the county treasury. Later, a Mirror Tower was built at Yuanjun Temple on Yaji Mountain for its storage.

Although this jade seal has many legends, there are 29 Yuanjun temples in various provinces of China. Among these Taoist temples, there are five "Tianxian Zhaojian" jade seals, and all of them claim that the one they have is the authentic one.

The one in the Yuanjun Guanzhaojian Tower on Yaji Mountain is indeed an ancient jade, but it is not necessarily the real "Tianxian Zhaojian" jade seal, because it is just an ordinary jade. After its spiritual energy was revived, it was taken out and placed in the glass window of the Shangjing Museum for tourists to visit.

The purpose of taking the "Heavenly Fairy's Mirror" jade seal out was naturally to store another object.

Xia Jiajie calls it "sword", without any prefix or rhetoric.

Almost all prospective sword masters call it this.

It is pure, mysterious, and powerful. Even the sixteen potential sword masters exist around it.

There are nine floors in Zhaojian Tower, and the "Sword" is on the ninth floor, which was originally used to store the "Tianxian Zhaojian" jade seal.

Xia Jiajie put away her joking personality and looked extremely solemn and serious.

This was her second time coming to Zhaojian Tower. The last time was when she opened her Qi sense and entered the first stage of cultivation to draw in Qi.

At that time, the bell of Zhaojian Tower rang three times.

It was Instructor Ma who led her up the tower, and he kept reminding her of various things to pay attention to along the way.

"I know, I know. Don't be so fussy. This is not my first time here." Xia Jiajie complained in her heart but nodded her head continuously.

There were people guarding each floor. When she reached the eighth floor, Xia Jiajie saw a female Taoist in dark blue cloth sitting cross-legged in meditation in the middle of the tower.

Her name is Yubao. She is the one with the highest cultivation among the sixteen potential sword masters, and she is the only one who has the honor to practice in Zhaojian Tower.

"Instructor, what is the current level of Taoist Master Yubao's cultivation? Could he have already broken through to the Xiantian realm?"

As the gatekeeper opened the staircase door leading to the ninth floor, Xia Jiajie asked in a low voice.

"It's not that easy." Instructor Ma shook his head. "There are only a few Xiantian people in China right now. Although Yubao has not revealed his progress to me, the bell of the Zhaojian Tower has never rung nine times. I guess he is still suffering."

After saying this, Instructor Ma sighed: "I don't know when the nine bells of the Zhaojian Tower will ring."

"Innateness, is innateness really that precious?" Xia Jiajie muttered with her head down, and was slapped hard by Instructor Ma:
"Don't follow that guy who, after eating some soup and seeing the world, doesn't know who he is."

Xia Jiajie cried out in pain, then reacted and tried to play dumb: "Instructor, what do you mean?"

"Oh, you're still acting like that. Do you think I don't know that you two go to the Stone Scripture Road every day? It's your luck that you ran into that person." "Instructor, do you know the real person?"

"Of course I know him, but he doesn't know me." Instructor Ma sighed and then glared at Xia Jiajie fiercely: "Also, you two should stop telling others about looking for spiritual fruits every day. It makes others restless. These days, someone comes to me every day to sign a pass to go into the mountains."

Xia Jiajie nodded: "Okay, I'll find a better excuse next time."

Squeak,

Even as they were talking, the door leading to the ninth floor of the Zhaojian Tower had already opened.

Going up the stairs and after a few turns, you will see an extremely spacious space.

On the walls on all sides are painted portraits of Bixia Yuanjun, as well as various fairy beasts and rare treasures.

Originally, there were statues of Yuanjun, incense tables, and display tables on the ninth floor. Now, Yuanjun has been moved away, leaving only a huge green stone in the center of the empty and ancient space.

The stone was hard, and an ancient sword was inserted diagonally into the marble, with half of the blade exposed in the air.

This is the "sword", and it is also the meaning of the existence of these prospective sword masters and the Yuanjun Temple training base.

Xia Jiajie looked serious as she walked forward and lightly scratched the sword blade with her index finger.

A drop of blood flashed on the blade, and the whole sword trembled, and then returned to calm.

"empty empty empty"

"empty empty empty"

The bell room extending outside the tower rang six bells in succession.

After six bells rang, the entire ninth floor fell completely silent.

"That's it, gone?"

Xia Jiajie was dumbfounded. She thought there would be some strange phenomenon or something, and the noise would be louder.

"Nonsense, what else do you want? The original intention is to let you leave a trace of aura in the sword after breaking through the realm, so that if you are lucky enough to hold the sword in the future, you can become one with the sword more quickly."

"Oh," Xia Jiajie muttered, and then looked at the hilt of the sword eagerly.

Instructor Ma soon discovered her intention, his face changed drastically, and he pulled her away from the bluestone: "Don't seek death. Once you hold the hilt of this sword, you know what will happen."

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I'm just thinking about it. I don't dare to really hold it."

Xia Jiajie curled her lips.

"It's good to know!"

Once you hold the sword, you must swing it, and once it is swung, whoever is hit will be killed.

Of course, the one holding the sword will also die.

Following Instructor Ma down to the eighth floor, Yubao was still meditating with her eyes closed, as if the six bell sounds just now had not disturbed her at all.

After leaving the Zhaojian Tower, Xia Jiajie turned around and looked up at the high ninth floor. She suddenly felt a little sad.

These sixteen people are nothing but consumables.
