If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 362 What Level Am I to Participate in the Sword Ceremony
"Master, are you... planning to go to the Sword Ceremony?"

Jian Xin held the kitchen knife tightly, his crimson eyes devoid of brilliance.

"Huh? Why would I want to go to this Sword-Asking Ceremony? I won't go, even if you kill me, I won't go," Li Yanmo denied very bluntly.

What is his identity now?
A reincarnated immortal who could mobilize the heavenly tribulation! He blew up the semi-immortal ghost fog with just one sentence. What would happen if someone of his rank participated in the Sword-asking Ceremony?
What does it matter what he plans to do? What matters is how others perceive him! Now, even a fart he passes might be interpreted as having a deeper meaning.

If Hanjing reveals some shocking secret again, everyone will immediately suspect him of being a reincarnated immortal, and then make further speculations, and then the news will spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

Don't do this kind of thing——

Jian Xin breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to continue chopping vegetables.

Cheng Yuejie scratched her head, feeling a little regretful. However, she also knew that Li Yanmo's status was special, and it would be inconvenient for him to participate in such a crowded and eye-catching event as the Sword-Asking Ceremony. "I have discussed this with the Sect Master and the ancestors, and they have agreed to let me go to the Frost Realm to participate in the Sword-Asking Ceremony. However, I feel that their words do not carry much weight, so I came here specifically to ask for your opinion, Sect Master Li."

"Go, why not? But remember safety first." Seeing Cheng Yuejie eager to try, Li Yanmo raised his hand and waved, "By the way, before you leave, go to Tianxu Tower and ask them to help contact Huang Shangshang. She's in Hanzhou, so you two can have someone to look after her."

"Thank you, Master Li!" Cheng Yuejie rubbed her hands together excitedly. "Master Li, I've actually already found out a lot about the Frost Realm. Legend has it that the half-immortal obtained a treasure that's closely related to Dayu's military pillar! And this treasure is related to Jianmen!"

"Oh? Really? Tell me about it," Li Yanmo raised his eyebrows with interest.

Anyway, he wouldn't go to this cold place, so it's nice to listen to some stories to relieve his boredom.

Cheng Yuejie didn't expect that someone of Li Yanmo's level would not know about the treasure of the Cold Realm, and she immediately gestured awkwardly.

"Um... I don't know the specific details, but it's said that before the Weapon Pillar, the first Emperor Yu first refined the so-called Sword Pillar, using it to slay demons, exterminate monsters, and slay immortals. But for some reason, the Sword Pillar was abandoned and replaced with the Weapon Pillar."

"All the sword sects in the universe once established their own gates around the abandoned sword pillar, but ultimately failed and the pillar was completely shattered. Legend has it that the half-immortal in the cold realm obtained a fragment of the sword pillar, and with it, he was able to strike the sword immortal's blow at the moment of his death."

Cheng Yuejie paused and added, "So the sword pillar fragment is the most powerful sword magic weapon pursued by all sword cultivators. This sword-asking ceremony may determine who will obtain the sword pillar fragment."

Li Yanmo pinched his chin and nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that this sword pillar fragment is indeed a treasure."

Zhuge Moer, who was eating a cake, subconsciously glanced at the clothesline not far away.

The most powerful sword weapon pursued by sword cultivators is now shouldering the glorious and heavy responsibility of a clothesline.

"Wait, since it's a fragment, that means there's more than one piece?"

Cheng Yuejie was stunned, then thought for a moment before tentatively nodding, "That should be the case, but the most famous one is definitely the Frost Realm. After all, it lost a Semi-Immortal and several Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators. The Sword Pillar Fragment is the hidden grand prize, while the Semi-Immortal and multiple Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators are the grand prize."

Cheng Yuejie smiled shyly, "But as for me... I want to see more of the sword cultivators from other places, to see how big the gap is between my sword intent and theirs."

Beneath Cheng Yuejie's shyness lay a deep sense of uneasiness, and it was obvious that she was very unconfident in her own swordsmanship.

When Li Yanmo was thinking about how to comfort Cheng Yuejie, Jian Xin suddenly raised his head and said, "It's okay. They realized the gap between them and you."

Cheng Yuejie thought Jian Xin was comforting her, so she nodded confidently and left in a leisurely manner.

Zhuge Moer pinched his chin, looking thoughtful. "Speaking of which, Master, what do you think of the situation in Yanzhou? I heard that Li Lin recently attacked Xiao Yun fiercely! Xiao Yun is now chasing Li Lin in Yanzhou!"

As he spoke, Zhuge Moer made a gesture of wiping his neck, pretending to be sinister.

"If things go wrong, they will both suffer losses!"

Li Yanmo rolled his eyes. "I feel like you're talking about two completely different people."

Li Lin didn't seem like the type of person who would launch a sneak attack, and Xiao Yun didn't seem like the type of person who would go on a rage and recklessly chase someone down.

"I guess they're playing a coordinated game."

Li Lin is the core of some Taoist sects that are trying to sow discord between noble marquises and commoner marquises, and Xiao Yun is the adopted son of a noble marquis who is about to be conferred the title of marquis. If these two people have an irreconcilable conflict, those sects will feel that their plans are going very smoothly.

Once you start to drift, you'll be exposed.

"Don't worry, there won't be any accidents in Yanzhou." Zhuge Mo'er's eyes rolled, and he put his hands behind his head and deliberately raised his voice, "Is this true? Master, you are not bragging, are you?"

"It's not a big deal, there's nothing to brag about," Li Yanmo waved his hand.

Zhuge Moer, whose attempt to provoke the opponent failed, stuck out his tongue unwillingly.

Jian Xin rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Yanzhou, black market——

"Is this... Li Lin, the son of Marquis Bahuang?"

Li Lin, who was acting as a demon cultivator, paused and slowly turned his head to reveal a face with a burn mark. The coldness and paranoia flashing in his eyes made Chu Lan gasp.

Just half a year ago, Li Lin was still a handsome young man, but now he is no different from a madman who lives on the edge of a knife.

How severe a beating did he receive to become like this in such a short time?!

Besides being surprised, Chu Lan also breathed a sigh of relief.

This shows that their plan was very successful and Li Lin has completely turned evil. The only problem is that Li Lin's strength cannot keep up with Xiao Yun's version.

"Who are you?" Li Lin asked in a hoarse voice.

"Me? Just a casual cultivator passing by. As for why I'm speaking to Master Li," Chu Lan said respectfully, his eyes rolling. "I've heard that Master Li is unparalleled and a rare talent. We've just discovered an ancient cave and are in need of some backup. I wonder if Master Li would be interested?"

Li Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "I want a deposit."

"It's natural—"

Chu Lan was afraid that Li Lin would not accept the reward, so he immediately took off his storage bag and threw it to Li Lin.

Li Lin raised his hand to take it, opened the storage bag and took a look, then said coldly, "Not enough, it needs to be at least ten times."

Chu Lan coughed heavily, "Mr. Li, you are a bit..."

"No need to talk, I'll just consider this as compensation for wasting my time," Li Lin stuffed the storage bag into his pocket and prepared to leave.

Bastard, a complete bastard who eats people without leaving any bones!
Chu Lan cursed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

"Master Li, wait a minute—I've agreed to this!"
