Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 86: Something other than the sword, Chen Kui's shock

"Qiang!"

After a sword dance ended, Lin Xuan sheathed his sword, feeling the breakthrough in his strength. After being stunned for a moment, he did not react much.

Turning around, Lin Xuan looked at Lin Dong who had arrived at some point. After looking at him for a few seconds, he spoke first, speaking to Lin Dong who felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Xuan.

"You seem a little different from before."

"Ah? What's different?"

Lin Dong didn't expect that Lin Xuan's first words would be this. After he realized what was going on, he immediately became nervous. He was worried whether there would be any marks left by the Nine Kings Palace on his body.

But when faced with Lin Dong's question, Lin Xuan just shook his head and said something that made Lin Dong laugh and cry.

"I don't know, intuition."

Lin Xuan didn't mean to make fun of Lin Dong. He really felt that the current Lin Dong seemed a little different from before, but he didn't know exactly how.

Maybe, this is love?

Shaking his head, Lin Xuan didn't think too deeply about the topics that he couldn't figure out. After practicing sword for more than ten years, he seemed to be becoming more and more unfamiliar with things other than sword.

"Keep the Devouring Ancestral Talisman."

After forcing the Devouring Ancestral Talisman out of his body and returning it to Lin Dong's hands, Lin Xuan took another sip, then untied a Qiankun bag from his waist and threw it to Lin Dong.

"It's a gift from your master and I to you. It's not much."

Lin Dong raised his hand to take it. Upon seeing this, the little mink beside him immediately opened the Qiankun bag with shining eyes and took a look. The next moment, the mink's eyes widened several times.

The glowing red light was obviously Nirvana Pills, and there were as many as a hundred thousand of them.

Looking up at Lin Xuan, Xiao Diao couldn't help swallowing and suddenly felt that the way this monster spoke was sometimes not unacceptable.

In fact, one hundred thousand is not a lot. Of course, Lin Xuan did not take much in total. He only took one million Nirvana Pills because it was quite troublesome to expel the curse power on them.

There were one million Nirvana Pills, of which 300,000 were used by Lin Xuan to recover from his injuries, 100,000 were given to Lin Dong as a gift for his marriage, 200,000 were kept by the clan, and the remaining 400,000 were almost all used to strengthen the seal.

Before this, when Lin Dong went to deliver the invitation to Lin Xuan, he lent the Devouring Ancestral Talisman to Lin Xuan. After Lin Xuan gained the insight of the Black Pupil, his control over the Devouring Ancestral Talisman was naturally better than that of Lin Dong now. However, it was still rather troublesome to set up a large sealing formation.

In addition to Lin Xuan's internal injuries, it would take some time for him to recover solely by relying on the Xuanyin Qi of the Xuanyin Mountains. Therefore, Lin Xuan simply went to the Great Wilderness Ancient Monument and took some Nirvana Pills.

"Young Patriarch, this is too precious!"

Lin Dong was also stunned when he looked at the bright red Nirvana Pill. After he came to his senses, he quickly refused. He was embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift.

"Consider it a gift from your master and I to you."

Lin Xuan said softly, his eyes fell on the wine jug in his hand, and after smiling, he spoke again.

"Also, thanks for the wine."

Lin Dong wanted to say something, but after looking at Lin Xuan's expression, he hesitated for a moment and decided to accept it. After all, Lin Dong was very tempted in his heart. This was the Nirvana Pill, a full 100,000 Nirvana Pills!
"I remember I told you that after the clan meeting, it was time to select the seeds for the Hundred Dynasties War?"

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Lin Dong nodded subconsciously. Not only had Lin Xuan mentioned this matter once before, but even Elder Lin Zheng had specifically mentioned it to him, hoping that he would work hard to fight for a spot in the seed selection.

"Don't worry, Young Clan Leader. Qianqian supports me in participating in the Hundred Dynasties War!"

When talking about Mu Qianqian, the smile on Lin Dong's face became a little different. There seemed to be a gleam in his eyes, and that smile became uncontrollable.

In fact, it was Mu Qianqian who initiated the marriage between Lin Dong and Mu Qianqian, and Lin Dong used many reasons to refuse. He knew that he couldn't stay in Dahuang County for the rest of his life. He even wanted to go outside the Great Yan Dynasty.

Facing Lin Dong's thoughts, Mu Qianqian was not angry. Instead, she supported him to the utmost. She even told Lin Dong to venture out into the world without any worries. She would take good care of the Lin family in Yancheng...

In the end, Lin Dong was moved by Mu Qianqian, and he married her in Dahuang County without even telling his family. This was because Lin Dong knew that once he left Dahuang County, he would not be able to come back in a short period of time. In order not to let Mu Qianqian wait here all the time, Lin Dong agreed to marry her immediately.

"You really have become different."

Looking at Lin Dong, whose eyes had a completely different light, Lin Xuan couldn't help but recall Hei Tong's words in his mind, but he quickly shook his head.

Compared to that illusory love, Lin Xuan still felt that it was easier to get along with Jian, and perhaps, they could even have a glass of wine.

"Have it?"

Lin Dong scratched his head, and the little marten beside him nodded seriously, jumped onto Lin Dong's shoulder, stretched out its claws, poked Lin Dong's face, and said in a deep voice.

"Don't fall into such a cozy state that you can't get up, kid."

"That won't happen. I will leave Dahuang County after training for another month or two."

Lin Xuan looked at Lin Dong, whose eyes were still determined and there was always a vague look on his face. He was completely unaware that he now looked more like a living person than before.

"Now, your wedding banquet is almost over. I have recovered from my injuries and it is time to return to the clan. When I pass by Yancheng, I can bring you a wedding invitation."

"Thank you, Young Clan Leader."

Lin Xuan waved his hand, drank the last bit of wine in the jug, and spoke softly.

"If you really want to thank me, you can give me a few bottles of wine!"

Lin Dong originally thought that Lin Xuan was joking, but he quickly realized that the young patriarch never seemed to be able to joke.

This was indeed the case. After Lin Xuan took a few jars of wine and a wedding invitation, he left Dahuang County directly. After watching Lin Xuan's figure walk away on the moon, Lin Dong withdrew his gaze.

“Hey, Lin Dong, what are your plans for the future? Master Diao, let me tell you, don’t you have so many people right now? Just capture that ancient blood bat dragon. Its blood essence can help you cultivate the Great Sun Thunder Body, and the demon spirit can be given to Master Diao. As for that body of flesh and blood, it will also be a great tonic for that stupid tiger.”

While Xiao Diao was still rambling, Lin Dong had already taken the opportunity to slip away. Tonight was his wedding night, so how could he bring Xiao Diao with him? ...

After leaving Dahuang County, Lin Xuan went straight to Yancheng. To be precise, he should have gone straight to Lincheng, because Yancheng was right on this route with almost no deviation.

However, as soon as he approached Yancheng, Lin Xuan's eyes became more serious. After flying in the direction of the Lin family for a while, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes were instantly locked on the dense forest below.

"Sir, you don't seem to be from the Great Yan Dynasty?"

A calm voice was floating over the forest. In the forest, a young man in a light grey robe and a ghost mask on his head was staring at the otherworldly figure in white clothes and white hair in the sky. A hint of surprise could not help but flash across his eyes.

Behind the ghost-faced man, a young girl in a black dress was being pulled behind a thin old man wearing a black crown and a black robe. A special wave completely blocked the aura of the two people.

However, the next moment, the thin old man's expression changed slightly, and he looked at the frowning young man in white in the sky with astonishment.

"Ok?"

Lin Xuan frowned and looked around the dense forest below. He noticed that in addition to an aura with strength similar to his, there was also a special wave that flashed by.

Lin Xuan never doubted his own feelings. That special fluctuation just now could not be an illusion.

His eyes closed slightly, and the next moment, a special invisible wave spread out from Lin Xuan's body to the surroundings, but soon, Lin Xuan's face became increasingly calm.

Because, in his sword heart's perception, apart from the breath below, there was nothing but a blank.

Just when Lin Xuan wanted to continue exploring, the figure below no longer hid, and flew out directly from the forest, bowed and said to Lin Xuan with a smile.

"I guess you are the Sword Saint, right? Haha, I am Chen Kui, I happened to pass by here and stopped here to rest. If I have disturbed you, I hope you can forgive me!"

"Chen Kui?"

Lin Xuan frowned slightly. This name seemed to have some influence on him. However, Lin Xuan did not think about it too much. He just looked at Chen Kui and spoke calmly.

"Sir, you are not from my Dongxuan Territory, right?"

"Oh? What do you think, Master Sword Saint?"

Chen Kui, who was wearing a ghost mask, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Lin Xuan curiously. Chen Kui had heard of Lin Xuan's name, the title of Sword Saint, although some people did not take it seriously, of course, including him before.

But at this moment, after seeing it with his own eyes, Chen Kui changed his opinion. As the saying goes, hearing about someone is not as good as meeting him, and meeting him is even better than hearing about him. After meeting Lin Xuan, Chen Kui realized that the rumors were still too conservative.

With this aura, I guess no one in the current Dongxuan Region can match it, right? Unless it is the elite disciples of the previous session.

In this session, even the three little kings of Yuanmen seemed not as good as the person in front of him. His body was condensed and not dispersed, and vaguely integrated into the aura of heaven and earth, which was not something they could do in the Nirvana realm.

"Your Excellency is gifted with extraordinary talent, and must be a disciple of a major sect. The eight major super sects in the Eastern Xuan Territory, the Divine Sect Talisman Valley, and the Wan Kui Sect are all talisman masters."

Lin Xuan stared at Chen Kui and spoke softly, while secretly sensing the flow of energy in this world.

Chen Kui, who was completely focused on Lin Xuan, did not notice anything unusual. Instead, he nodded in agreement. He only cultivated Yuanli, so the three super sects pointed out by Lin Xuan could be directly ruled out.

"The master of Honghuang Palace cultivates the physical body, and the Sword Sect all has sword-shaped spiritual treasures. The remaining ones are Yuan Sect, Dao Sect, and Jiutian Taiqing Palace. It is impossible for you to come from these three sects."

The Yuan Sect has always acted in a domineering manner, and everyone in the Dongxuan Region knows it. Although the Dao Sect is adjacent to this place, it has been recuperating recently, and its elite disciples do not easily leave the Dao Region. As for the Jiutian Taiqing Palace, it has always been mostly composed of female disciples.

"I understand both Yuan Sect and Dao Sect, but why can't Chen Kui be a disciple of Jiutian Taiqing Palace?"

Chen Kui asked curiously, although Jiutian Taiqing Palace has mostly female disciples, there are also many male disciples, and there are elite male disciples.

“Everyone from the Jiutian Taiqing Palace recognizes Lin Xuan!”

There was a sense of aloof self-confidence in the calm voice, which made Dechen Kui stunned for a moment, but Lin Xuan did not explain.

Although Lin Xuan did not know what the Palace Master of Jiutian Taiqing Palace had specifically told him, he could guess it from the reaction of the old man in the linen robe. He was afraid that anyone with a little status in Jiutian Taiqing Palace should know him and know that he had learned the Tai Shang Ganying Jue.

However, although Lin Xuan did not explain, Chen Kui reacted quickly, and couldn't help but laugh at himself and said softly.

"I forgot that the Sword Saint defeated the Young Master of Jiutian Taiqing Palace with his own hands."

For a sect to have a Ling Qingzhu is already a blessing, how could it be possible to have so many outstanding disciples at the same time.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Chen Kui, a disciple of the Dark Palace of the Northern Xuan Territory!"

Chen Kui clasped his fists towards Lin Xuan again and said with a flash of admiration in his eyes. Originally, Chen Kui was very disdainful of the rumors, but after seeing Lin Xuan, he was really shocked.

A genius coming from a small dynasty not only has amazing comprehension, but also extraordinary strength. It can even be said that he is superior to those top geniuses who come from super sects.

The absolute gap in resources was completely narrowed and even surpassed by one person with his amazing understanding. You know, those who were surpassed by him were all top geniuses in their field.

It is conceivable how amazing Lin Xuan’s talent and understanding are!

"The Temple of Darkness!"

Lin Xuan's pupils shrank instantly, and the next moment, an invisible wave swept around again. This time, although he still did not detect any breath, Lin Xuan's gaze was directly locked on a certain place in the dense forest below.

“Tsk tsk, what a sharp perception! I never thought that even I can’t hide from you! Awesome! Really amazing!”

At this moment, a slightly hoarse exclamation came from the dense forest below. Chen Kui's eyes widened when he heard the voice.

Looking down and seeing his master showing up on his own initiative, Chen Kui took a deep breath and looked at Lin Xuan as if he was looking at a monster.

His master, the Lord of the Dark Palace, was one of the most powerful people in the world. How could such a person not be able to hide himself in front of Lin Xuan? Was this guy really a human being, or a living being?
