After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 103 102. Both Good and Evil, Array News (3.9K words - please subscribe)
[In the first year, you practiced the Mysterious Sword Scripture and transformed three hundred strands of Mysterious Qi into Sword Qi]

[In the 30th year, you transformed your entire body's profound energy into sword energy]

Song Yan sensed it.

He discovered that all the ordinary Xuan Qi in his Xuan realm had transformed into sword Qi.

He continued to practice.

[In the 130th year, you converted all the profound energy that contained the essence and blood of “Chan Wang Hu” in Zhongzhong Palace into sword energy]

[The sword energy interacts with the "blood essence of the tiger king", and you comprehend a special sword energy - the soul-imprisoning sword energy.

Wherever the sword energy goes, the opponent will feel uncomfortable at the spiritual level for a period of time, with slow thinking and sluggish movements.

[In the 230th year, you converted all the profound energy that contained the essence and blood of the Night Candle Soul Bug in the Central Left Palace into sword energy]

[The sword energy interacts with the "Night Candle Soul Bug", and you comprehend a special sword energy - the soul-piercing sword energy.

The sword energy is invisible and points directly at the soul. Although its power is not as strong as the soul-smashing power of the Night Candle Soul Bug, it can make the opponent feel a momentary pain at the soul level during the battle, which is hard to defend against.

in this way
The training is over.

Song Yan stretched his body, feeling the sword energy running wild in his body, but with a thought, everything returned to calm. He was truly "as quiet as a virgin and swift as a rabbit". It was also like the vast ocean, which looked calm, but if a tsunami occurred, it could display the power of a natural disaster in an instant.

Although he has not taken action yet, Song Yan already feels that his strength has greatly improved. As to what level it is, he is not sure for the time being.

However, he also felt that there seemed to be some external object in the "Xuan Jian Jing" that could speed up the practice, but these had nothing to do with him.

He had already practiced well, so he didn't need to go to great lengths to look for that external object.

After completing his training, Song Yan thought about the formation again.

Five-year agreement, four years left
But he did not find any relevant information about the "formation" in the library of Nanwu Jianmen.

I can only look for it somewhere else.
But I still don’t know where this opportunity lies.

Song Yan stood up and sat in front of the window, lit a candle, glanced at the twisted "sword" character all over the ground, picked up the pen again, and wrote a new "sword" character on the paper with fast strokes of ink.

This word is upright, clear as spring water, and ethereal like clouds in the sky.

With the thought of "Sword Evil Dual Phase", Song Yan's clean eyes suddenly turned into a strange and fierce red.

He put pen to paper again, and another word "sword" appeared on the paper.

This time.
The word "sword" was twisted and eerie, indescribably weird and terrifying, as if a monster had written a pattern on the window by grabbing a dead person's severed finger.

Song Yan turned back to sword energy again. This continuous change made him feel inexplicably irritated. Obviously, although he could switch as he pleased, the repeated and drastic changes in his thoughts would also bring some problems.

He casually destroyed the word "sword" that he had written with murderous intent, then lay down on the couch with his hands on his pillow.

There are only two and a half months until the "Day of Jingzhe when the Great Elder and Guhuangzi will fight"
If the Great Elder leaves, perhaps it will be the right time for him to look for a "formation opportunity".

The next day.

At dawn, Song Yan went to Master Kuye's bamboo house, ready to go to work in the fields.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Master Kuye Swordsman waving towards the sky, and Granny Meng was flying away on her sword in the sky.

Soon, there was no one in the air, but Master Kuye was still grinning foolishly in that place. It was not until he felt Song Yan's gaze outside the door that he put away his smile, looked at Song Yan seriously, and waved.

Inside the room, Sword Master Kuye and Song Yan spoke:

“Marriage in this world is really full of strange things.

Back then, Meng Rong and I met, got to know each other, fell in love, and were full of vigor and vitality. Later, we joined forces and were extremely lucky to obtain a piece of the blood of the Crimson Palace demon.

Originally, I thought that we were both extraordinary people, and with our husband and wife working together, we would be able to survive the pill tribulation and completely digest the demon's blood.

But I never expected that both Meng Rong and I failed.

After that, she blamed me and I blamed her. We couldn't live like this anymore, so we went our separate ways. I came to Hongye Island in a rage, and my family arranged for her to work in the library. We fell in love in our early years, but we spent the rest of our lives in hatred. We never saw each other again for decades.

But in fact, it has already passed, but people are too thin-skinned to admit it.

Fortunately, you broke through this layer of paper."

Song Yan smiled gently and said, "I am happy that you two elders are like this."

Sword Master Kuye looked deeply at the man in front of him and suddenly said, "Can you show me how to fly your sword again?"

Song Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course."

Immediately, he stood up and walked outside the house. He snapped his fingers, controlled the sword, and the sword soared into the sky, breaking through the clouds, then turned quickly down and moved close to the water. It was truly like a dragon patrolling the sky.

With his hands behind his back, Sword Master Kuye looked at the sword very carefully, as if he wanted to see clearly whether every trace of sword energy and sword intent in it was false or fraudulent.

But both the sword energy and the sword intent are extremely pure, stunning and impeccable.

After a long time, Master Kuye's beard moved slightly, and there was an unspeakable relief in his eyes.

When Song Yan put away his sword, Sword Master Kuye looked at him and said, "You are still young, find a Taoist partner."

Song Yan:.
"No."

"Xiu Hu, I have already made plans. On the day of Jingzhe, I will go to Konglan Mountain with the Great Elder. I can't leave you alone in such a big house and such a large piece of land, right?"

Sword Master Kuye sighed, "I've had enough of this lonely life. When I was young, I held my breath and refused to give up. But now I think about it, I really regret it. You asked me to let it go, why don't you let it go?"

After that, the old man seemed to be in high spirits, patting his chest and saying, "Tell me, what kind of girl do you want? In this huge Nanwu Jianmen, there is no one that your teacher Meng and I cannot match."

Song Yan did not answer this, but asked in surprise: "Teacher, why are you going to Konglan Mountain too?"

Even though his identity was fake, he still cared about the old man.

Sword Master Kuye asked, "Why? Do you think the old man will never come back?

I tell you, when the time comes, not only will I go, but your teacher Meng will also go with me. It has been sixty years since she and I have joined forces to fight the enemy. "

As he spoke, longing and anticipation flashed in his eyes.

Song Yan advised: "Someone has to guard Jianmen, right?"

Sword Master Kuye said, “Suddenly, news came that Gu Huangzi seemed tired of this tug-of-war and said he wanted to settle the matter with a single battle, so he changed the original one-on-one fight to a four-on-four one.

The masters of their four peaks will all appear in Konglan Mountain, and our Nanwu Sword Sect will naturally send out the four strongest men.

Although Granny Meng and I are not the strongest, we are both veterans of the Crimson Palace Realm, so it is always a good idea to go and suppress the enemy.”

Song Yan was stunned for a moment. He had never seen a disciple of the Demon Sect who was willing to face off seriously, so he said, "The disciples of the Demon Sect are extremely treacherous, not to mention the old demon Gu Huangzi. This kind of nonsense, I don't think it's credible."

Sword Master Kuye laughed and said, "You can think of something that we can't? Haha.
At that time, we will not go to Konglan Mountain immediately, but will go there only after we can actually smell many auras of the Crimson Palace Realm on Konglan Mountain.

During this period, we will also send out a large number of scouts to investigate everywhere, just like when two countries in the mortal world clash, to prevent the other side from cheating.

The Puppet Sect is already very powerful, and we cannot defeat them head-on. We must not let go of this opportunity to decapitate them, no matter what.

Furthermore, rumors are spreading that the headmaster, the Sword Emperor, has fallen. If we continue to avoid fighting, our morale will plummet and we will be defeated."

Song Yan lowered his eyes, looking thoughtful.

He is too familiar with the Puppet Sect.

Originally it was “one-on-one”, but now it has suddenly become “five-on-five, one battle to decide”, which simply says “there’s something fishy going on”.

If there was no problem, Song Yan would eat the table in front of him.

But what's the problem?

Although he didn't understand, he still said: "Teacher, you know, doesn't the Puppet Sect know? They might be using this as bait."

"Let's not talk about this, just take it as an excuse." Sword Master Kuye patted him on the shoulder and said, "After I leave, you will take care of this place. I will also contact some patients in this bamboo house in the past, treat them and prescribe medicine for them.

During this period of time, I will tell you all I have learned about medicinal herbs and alchemy throughout my life.

As for the way of the sword, everyone has his own way, so I won't give you much advice.

Well, let's talk about alchemy and your new Taoist partner."

Song Yan wanted to refuse, but then he changed his mind and thought: If he asked for a talented Taoist partner who was good at formations, then how should Master Kuye Swordsman and Granny Meng respond?
Master Kuye Swordsman and Granny Meng might think that he deliberately made a very harsh request just because he didn't want a Taoist partner, but these two elders of Nanwu Sword Sect would definitely find ways to help him achieve his goal.

True and false, false and true, who can tell the difference?

Song Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said repeatedly: "Disciple does not want it, I am enough alone, I really do not need a Taoist partner."

a few days later.

Evening
Song Yan sighed and said, "If the two teachers insist that I find another Taoist partner, then... I am quite interested in the Dao of Formation, but I have never had the chance to learn it, so I want to find a Taoist partner who is good at it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Kuye Swordsman and Granny Meng, who had "returned from get off work", showed extremely strange looks on their faces.

The two elders suddenly became quiet.

Song Yan observed the expression of the man and then made the final decision: "Since there is no suitable one, then..."

Granny Meng suddenly said, "Yes."

Master Kuye Swordsman hesitated to speak.

Granny Meng said, "But I can't be a matchmaker directly. I can't bring someone here for you to get along with. If you really want to get along, you have to find someone yourself."

Song Yan was delighted.

It's really like searching for something everywhere but still not finding it. It's better to use some skills than to look for it yourself.

But he showed a calm expression on his face and said, "That's it."

Granny Meng said: "I might as well tell you directly that the only one who meets your requirements is the headmaster's daughter, Yu Xuanwei.

The surname Yu is the surname of the headmaster's lineage, not the Sun and Su families, and its innate water-based mystical roots can only be passed down from one lineage.
Yu Xuanwei has entered the Jiang Palace. She is much older than you, but she is a loner and has a very high opinion of herself. If an ordinary man dares to show any love in front of her, she will beat him so hard that he can't even find his teeth.

The art of formation of our Nanwu Sword Sect has always been mastered only by the headmaster. If you want to find a Taoist partner who is good at formation, she is the only one in the entire Sword Sect.

And now she lives in the front mountain of Luoxia Bamboo Island. If she hadn't maintained the formation on the island, there might have been spies who had sneaked into the island to investigate the situation of the headmaster."

Song Yancai's happy heart was immediately poured with a bucket of cold water.

But he suddenly became curious again.
Why is it that only the head sect's lineage can master the sword gate formation?

But this lineage has the surname Yu, and is also the one that can inherit the innate water root?
Seeing that he was silent, Granny Meng said, "Boy, you don't have to belittle yourself.

As for Xuan Wei, although she is older than you, she is stunningly beautiful and the most beautiful woman in Jianmen and even in the entire Southern Wu.

I heard from the old man that you have an extraordinary talent in swordsmanship and are the future pillar of our Jianmen.
Well, I will help you convey your feelings, and the rest is up to fate."

Song Yan thought for a moment. Now that he knew who had the formation, he would just wait and see if there was an opportunity. He still had time.

As for the extremely ostentatious pursuit of the headmaster's daughter, who was sitting in a core position like Luoxia Bamboo Island, he decided not to do it.

If he did, he would definitely find ways to show it.
By then, his strength will far exceed what Bai Xiuhu can achieve. This is one reason.

Secondly, Yu Xuanwei is extremely beautiful, so she must have many admirers and suitors.

If he pursues it, won't he be heading into trouble?
Thirdly, how could a woman like Yu Xuanwei, who was pursued by countless geniuses but who simply disdained them, easily fall in love with him? Even if she did, if he didn't rush to "lick" her one day, he would probably explode.

A beautiful and powerful woman who holds a central position and has no shortage of suitors is the epitome of big trouble.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Song Yan slowly shook his head and said, "Forget it, teacher, I'm not worthy of you."

Granny Meng frowned and asked, "Is this something a sword cultivator should say?"

Song Yan showed a self-deprecating smile, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, and said: "Mother-in-law is right."

Granny Meng frowned even more and was about to lose her temper when Sword Master Kuye beside her hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, saying, "Sister Meng, you should know Xiu Hu's past, so please be understanding.

Since we cannot afford the daughter of Yu Dajin, is there anyone else who is suitable? You are knowledgeable and experienced, far more than I can compare. Please help me think about it. "

The corners of Song Yan's mouth twitched slightly.

have to.

The name has become "Sister Meng".

Granny Meng said, "It has been said that only the sect leader can master the art of formations. There are only two people in the entire Jianmen sect who are well versed in this, one is the sect leader, and the other is Xuan Wei."

Song Yan stood up at the right time, bowed respectfully, and said, "Two masters, I will leave first."

Granny Meng said, "Go away!"

The withered leaf swordsman at the side smiled awkwardly.

Song Yan naturally wouldn't be angry, so he turned around and left the bamboo house.

Today, it is not without gain.

At least he knew who the breakthrough in the "array" lay.

On the day of Jingzhe, winds and clouds are bound to arise, and there is always hope of fishing in troubled waters.
