Xuanjian: Jade True Sword Immortal, my Dao Wisdom keeps increasing.

Wanyu Sword Sect.

As soon as Cheng Jinzhu stepped into the reception hall, a middle-aged man wearing a jade crown and with a dignified appearance spoke up, stating his purpose. Cheng Jinzhu then returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

"My name is Cheng Jinzhu, and I am currently a steward of the sect. What brings you to the Sword Sect, fellow Daoist?"

"What can I do? Of course, it's to cultivate sword intent." Jiang Heqian was a little embarrassed by Cheng Jinzhu's blunt question.

On second thought, most sword cultivators are straightforward, so he decided to get straight to the point and state his purpose in a solemn tone:

"I have come here to cultivate sword intent. I have heard that the Wanyu Sword Sect is a great school of swordsmanship, and I have come here specifically to study under them."

Cheng Jinzhu was greatly surprised, and his voice rose a few decibels as he excitedly said:

"Could it be that you have achieved mastery of sword essence, fellow Daoist?"

Jiang Heqian nodded, then drew the Mingyu sword from his waist. Milky white jade-like sword energy flowed across the blade. He casually slashed at the Yushuo sword and the Yuanli sword, heading towards the open space outside the door.

The sword energy left the body as if it were an arm, executed with utmost skill, demonstrating the great mastery of sword energy cultivation.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Jinzhu's face was filled with joy, and he repeatedly exclaimed in praise:

"Very well, fellow Daoist's swordsmanship is truly impressive; I admire it."

Jiang Heqian sheathed his sword and asked:

"I am stuck at the threshold of mastering sword intent, and I have never been able to cross it. I have come here to seek guidance from the seniors of the Sword Sect and learn the way of the sword."

Whether there are any opportunities or not, let's take a shot first. No matter what happens to the Sword Sect, we won't lose out.

Getting your face known is also a great thing.

Thinking of this, Jiang Heqian felt much calmer and was not worried at all that the Sword Sect would turn him away.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jinzhu scratched his head rather awkwardly and explained:

"Fellow Daoist's sword cultivation is so advanced, who would dare to teach you sword cultivation except for a sword immortal who has cultivated sword intent? Fellow Daoist may not know this, but my Wanyu Sword Sect currently has no sword immortals who have cultivated sword intent."

After saying this, Cheng Jinzhu felt really embarrassed, so he simply picked up the spirit tea in his hand and kept drinking it in silence.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heqian was not surprised.

The Wanyu Sword Sect has a sword immortal who has cultivated sword intent, but he cannot return at the moment.

Cheng Xunzhi, who cultivated the sword intent of [Liyang Yuxin Yiqi Chunyang], was Ling Mei's previous life and was a sword immortal of the Sword Sect.

This matter must not be revealed immediately, as it is beyond the control of a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like myself.

Jiang Heqian looked regretful and said earnestly:

"I have come to the Sword Sect not to pay homage to the sword immortals who have mastered sword intent, but to exchange ideas on the way of the sword."

As soon as the words were spoken, a middle-aged man with a spirit sword at his waist, half-white hair and beard, dressed in plain clothes suddenly appeared in the hall and spoke:

"Young friend, since you are so sincere and persistent, then come with me up the mountain for a chat."

Upon seeing this person, Cheng Jinzhu immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Uncle-Master."

"Junior Jiang Heqian greets Senior Jianmen," Jiang Heqian said respectfully.

Ling Mei waved her hand and said calmly:

"Young friend, there's no need for such formalities. Jinzhu, please go about your business. I'll take care of this young friend."

"Yes, Uncle-Master," Cheng Jinzhu replied respectfully, then walked out of the reception hall.

With a flick of his sleeve, Ling Mei unleashed his supernatural powers and instantly appeared at the main peak of the Sword Gate with Jiang Heqian.

When Jiang Heqian came to his senses, what came into view was a magnificent pine tree with emerald green needles, as large as a canopy.

Although I had known for a long time that there was a Purple Mansion Spirit Pine in Jianmen, I was still attracted by its charm when I saw it in person, and I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Ling Mei sat down at the stone table to the side, poured herself a cup of spiritual tea, and explained:

"This sacred pine is the [Mysterious Horn Treasure Ear Pine] of our Sword Sect. Whenever the southeast wind rises, it will transform into a [Treasure Ear Spring Breeze] when it passes through the branches of the senior, which has the effect of nourishing life and people. The senior has made great contributions to Jiangnan."

Jiang Heqian feigned surprise and said:

"The Sword Gate is indeed an extraordinary place; I have learned a great deal."

He thought to himself, "What 'nurturing the people'? It's more like a sustainable harvesting of blood and food."

According to Xuanjian's information from his previous life, this Jiaomu Baosong was deliberately lost to the Sword Gate True Lord by the Great Desert Golden One, in order to scheme against the Sword Gate.

How could they be so kind as to plant them here specifically to nourish the common people?

Ling Mei beckoned for Jiang Heqian to sit down and said in a nostalgic tone:

"This senior has a great background. Back then, True Lord Taiyu cultivated here. His golden aura soared to the sky, and not a blade of grass grew for hundreds of miles around. True Lord Taiyu couldn't bear to see the people suffer because of him, so he planted the senior here..."

Jiang Heqian was greatly surprised and stood up respectfully, saying:

"It turns out that Senior Lingsong was planted by the True Lord himself."

This Purple Mansion Spirit Pine has long since achieved perfect supernatural powers, and the Horned Wood has profound cultivation, but unfortunately it cannot obtain the position of Gold.

Seeing that the pleasantries had been exhausted, Ling Mei got straight to the point:

"Young friend, you have come to inquire about swordsmanship. Although I have not yet mastered sword intent, I have remained at the level of sword essence for many years. Perhaps my insights from that experience will be of use to you."

Ling Mei had not yet awakened her memories of her past life and was unaware that she had already cultivated the [Li Yang Yu Xin One Qi Pure Yang] sword intent. She only thought it was the result of years of hard work in cultivating sword essence.

"I am deeply grateful to my senior for imparting his swordsmanship experience to me," Jiang Heqian said respectfully.

A sword immortal who cultivated sword intent in a previous life must have unique insights.

The two of them discussed swordsmanship atop Jianmen Peak, one after the other. Whenever they reached a crucial point, Ling Mei would unconsciously stop abruptly, but upon reflection, she couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Seeing this, Jiang Heqian thought to himself, "Would I have triggered Ling Mei's past life memories? That shouldn't be the case. Back then, when the Shu Kingdom's sword immortal debated with Ling Mei, it didn't trigger his memories. I haven't even mastered sword intent yet, so how could I have triggered his past life memories?"

(Note: The Jade of the Dao can conceal the protagonist's destiny; the Divine Power of Destiny's ability to see into the protagonist's heart is fabricated.)

Put aside your concerns and continue exchanging ideas about swordsmanship with him.

Ling Mei paused for a moment, then sighed:

"The path of swordsmanship values ​​comprehension. Some country folk can draw a sword weighing a thousand pounds, and even those with supernatural powers may not be able to wield a sword. Our Sword Sect values ​​swordsmanship cultivation above all else. Young friend, you may wonder why I am being so polite to you. My ancestor, Wan Yu, once said that those who cultivate sword intent and leave their names in the Wan Yu Sword Book will be honored guests of our Sword Sect."

"Young friend, your swordsmanship is profound and your insights are unique. You are only one opportunity away from mastering sword intent."

During their exchange on swordsmanship, both were amazed by each other's unique insights.

One is a sword immortal who has already mastered sword intent in his previous life, and the other possesses the Dao Jade and has detailed annotations on the sword intent of [Qingyin Shuoyue Hanyu Xianzhen].

Jiang Heqian was shocked. He realized that he had unique insights into sword cultivation because he had the help of the Dao-enhancing Jade.

The opponent has such unique insights based solely on his intuition about swordsmanship.

At this moment, Jiang Heqian felt a strange sense of discussion with a gifted academic genius from his previous life, while he himself was still the kind of academic underachiever who relied on looking at the answers in advance.

Having calmed the strange emotions in his heart, Jiang Heqian stood up, bowed, and said:

"This junior thanks you for enlightening me, senior. I have gained a great deal from this trip to Jianmen."

Ling Mei waved her hand dismissively, saying:

"Young friend, you are too modest. Your swordsmanship and insights are no less than mine. I should be thanking you."

Jiang Heqian repeatedly said he dared not, and the two sat down at the stone table and began to talk about swordsmanship.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Jiang Heqian got up to take his leave.
