Borrowing a sword

Chapter 289 Chu Yinyin Emerges from Seclusion

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these few days, Chu Huaixu did almost only one thing each day.

—Han Shuangjiang, a victim of domestic violence.

After they emerged from the Dao Ancestor's Secret Realm, both of them had already mastered the Three Thousand Scrolls of Sword Dao.

With so many profound-level sword techniques, we definitely need to practice them together and exchange moves.

This way, in a real battle, you can choose the most suitable sword technique based on the current situation as soon as possible.

Overall, Han Shuangjiang will have a greater demand for this.

The most suitable version for Chu Huai Xu is still 【Six Out of Rank】.

Putting aside its "self-torture" nature, this technique really has no weaknesses.

It has both speed and output.

You can rely on one trick to succeed in everything.

It's the perfect counter to all fancy and flashy designs!
However, during sparring, his sword heart progress bar will slowly increase, and he can gain some experience points through sparring.

As for the Earth-level sword technique [Azure Sky Fire], the two of them didn't hold back and taught it to Xiao Xu.

Chu Huaixu witnessed once again how terrifying [Comprehension 10] was.

Xu Ziqing picked it up incredibly quickly.

Compared to him, he's like a brainless idiot.

Besides, he only learned today that Xu Ziqing had actually mastered the [Six Out of Horizon] technique to perfection.

Chu Huaixu has been on a winning streak, and so far he has only managed to upgrade this skill to the highest level, with no resources available for further upgrades.

Fortunately, Xiao Xu only had a low-grade spiritual embryo, so his cultivation level improved very slowly, which made Chu Huaixu feel a little more at ease.

He estimated that by the time the East-West Continent Grand Competition of the Third Realm begins, Xu Ziqing would probably only be able to advance to the fifth level, or at most the sixth level of the Third Realm.

This is all thanks to his daily medication and medicinal baths.

At this time, Xu Ziqing was taking a medicinal bath inside the house.

Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang were exchanging ideas outside.

"Smack—!" Having found a major flaw, Chu Huaixu slapped his Daoist partner's buttocks hard.

Han Shuangjiang, whose plump buttocks had been slapped, blushed and instinctively let out a soft, scolding cry: "Ah!"

When Xu Ziqing is watching from the sidelines, their sparring becomes more serious.

When the light bulb isn't there, it always ends up turning into flirting and teasing.

After lingering tenderly for a while, Han Shuangjiang stood up and said, "It's time, I have to go find my master."

Nangong Yue would guide her in her cultivation once every three days.

"I also need to go treat Fifth Master's illness," Chu Huaixu replied.

This time, it was Zhao Shuqi's turn to accompany him to see Zhong Ming.

Zhong Ming's treatment progress has now reached 3%.

It's fair to say that the entire process has been extremely slow.

Chu Huaixu tried coming over more frequently, but found it was useless.

The power of [Nan Liujing] does not have a better effect on him just because the frequency of use increases.

It seems that he can only absorb this much at a time.

"I wonder if the effect will be better once my cultivation level improves."

If we can't speed things up, wouldn't it take at least five years to cure this?
As time went by, the Daoist sect began to hold the Third Realm Grand Competition within its ranks.

Since the East-West Continent Grand Competition is being held in the Moon Kingdom, which is a long distance away, the sect will conduct an initial screening to select one hundred people to go.

Chu Huaixu and the other two will not participate; they do not need to participate in the selection process, but they will not take up any of the 100 spots.

Inside the main hall of Wendao Peak, Xiang Yan and the others sat together, discussing matters related to the upcoming East-West Continent Grand Competition.

"Junior Uncle, are you sure you want to lead the team yourself?" Xiang Yan asked. Jiang Zhi nodded.

"I cannot rest easy unless I go there in person."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at an empty chair in the main hall.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into a brief silence.

Finally, Xiang Yan spoke again: "I received a message from the Sword Sect yesterday that the Sword Master will personally attend the East-West Continent Grand Competition."

"Oh?" This surprised Jiang Zhi somewhat.

As everyone knows, the Sword Master is almost completely detached from worldly affairs, focusing solely on comprehending the sword.

He rarely left the nameless peak of the Sword Sect, let alone walked down the mountain.

This is significantly different from Jiang Zhi, who enjoys going down the mountain to vanquish demons.

Xiang Yan smiled and said, "In the letter, Sect Master Li of the Sword Sect said that the Sword Venerable intends to meet Chu Huaixu and has a great interest in him."

Jiang Zhi wasn't surprised to hear this.

“The current Sword Master has not taken any disciples yet. If Chu Huaixu were born in the Sword Sect, he probably would also be tempted to take on disciples,” Li Chunsong said with a smile.

Thank goodness I brought Chu Huaixu up the mountain!

Zhao Shuqi, who was sitting to the side, immediately chimed in, "No, Sixth Junior Brother, you're mistaken."

"If Chu Huaixu were to join the Sword Sect, he would certainly not become a disciple of the Sword Venerable."

"Oh? Why?" Li Chunsong was taken aback.

He didn't believe that with Chu Huaixu's talent, even if the Sword Master was indifferent to worldly affairs and detached from worldly affairs, he could not possibly remain unmoved!
Zhao Shuqi laughed and said, "Because Situ Cheng will definitely compete with his senior brother for it. How can the Sword Master compete with his junior brother?"

Upon hearing this, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

The way these two brothers get along is well-known in the cultivation world.

Even the Sword Sect Master cannot force the Sword Venerable to do things, as the two are of equal rank.

But he can give orders to Situ Cheng first, and then Situ Cheng can give orders to the Sword Master.

Jiang Zhi spoke up at this moment, snorting coldly: "I even suspect that the reason he hasn't broken through to the ninth realm is because he's waiting for his precious junior brother."

"Once he breaks through to the ninth realm, every sparring match will be a narrow victory, and he probably won't be able to keep up the act."

Xiang Yan coughed lightly, bringing the topic back to the present.

"Which elder is willing to accompany Junior Uncle on this trip to the Moon Kingdom?" he asked.

In their minds, Jiang Zhi was still not very reliable.

Moreover, this old man can only keep things under control at best; he doesn't actually do any work.

In addition, the Yue Kingdom royal family harbors resentment towards Jiang Zhi, having previously clashed with him.

Many years ago, my junior uncle killed a prince of the Moon Kingdom for some reason.

This matter caused quite a stir back then, but it eventually fizzled out.

Besides, Junior Uncle disliked the old Grand Tutor of the Moon Kingdom.

He had even attacked me once before.

If it weren't for the protection of the Moon Kingdom's national fortune and the support of the Imperial Capital's grand formation, Ming Xuanji's old teeth would probably have been knocked out by Jiang Zhi.

When Junior Uncle goes to the Moon Kingdom, someone still needs to keep an eye on him.

Nangong Yue volunteered, "Why don't I go?"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a voice came from outside the main hall.

“My disciple is going to take the title of Xuanhuang champion again, so naturally I, his master, will accompany him.”

A streak of light flashed by, and suddenly another person appeared on the chair in the main hall.

She was a little girl who looked to be only about ten years old, with chubby cheeks, and was extremely cute.

Chu Yinyin, the tenth elder of the Daoist sect, has officially broken through her cultivation barrier.
