Junior sister, I really need to control you

He didn't know much about the Taihao Immortal Sect, but at least he knew the name.

One of the three largest immortal sects among the human forces in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Since Li Yinsheng said so, he had no reason to doubt that the other party was lying.

"Then why does the senior possess the legendary Taibai Sword? This sword is said to be a flying sword that is close to a treasure of immortals. Even when the Taibai Sword Pavilion was still in existence, there was no such treasure in the pavilion."

Wei Chengfeng couldn't help but ask, "If I hadn't seen some of the illustrations left behind by the Taibai Sword Pavilion, I probably wouldn't have recognized this sword."

"The Taibai Sword Pavilion is no longer there?" Li Yinsheng did not answer Taibai Sword's question, but instead pressed, "Tell me in detail first."

Wei Chengfeng's gaze swept over the Taibai Sword. Although he still had a thousand curiosities in his heart, he first told what he knew.

After a long while, having heard everything Wei Chengfeng had said, Li Yinsheng sighed deeply.

Wei Chengfeng's knowledge of Taibai Sword Pavilion actually came from the classics passed down within the Golden Sword Sect and from his elders and relatives.

More than a hundred years ago, the Taibai Sword Pavilion in the Ten Thousand Mountains was suddenly attacked by a demonic cultivator at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

At that time, the only Dharma Aspect True Person in the pavilion had been gone for a long time, and only two Great True Persons and several True Persons were left to resist.

Although sword cultivators are known for their formidable combat prowess among their peers, the demonic cultivator was truly terrifying. Even if all the cultivators of the Taibai Sword Pavilion used their full strength and even employed the sect's trump cards, they would still find it difficult to resist.

In order to preserve the legacy of Taibai Sword Pavilion, Wei Chengfeng's ancestor, as the youngest True Person, fled with the most important inheritances and the most promising disciples.

The remaining True Persons of Taibai Sword Pavilion stayed behind to cover the retreat, and then disappeared without a trace.

The young master's escape was not merely to preserve the lineage and tradition, but more importantly, to find the long-lost master of the sect.

So they followed every clue they could find and traveled all the way to the Dayong Dynasty, the last place where the true master of this sect left his last trace.

But after that, they completely lost track of the trail.

The young master who led the group still carried the curse left by the demonic sorcerer, and he eventually died after arriving in the Dayong Dynasty.

Left with no other choice, the people of Taibai Sword Pavilion had to settle down in the Dayong Dynasty, change their names and become the "Golden Sword Sect" they are today.

That's pretty much all Wei Chengfeng knows.

He was completely baffled by the sudden destruction of the Taibai Sword Pavilion and had no idea how the Taibai Sword Pavilion had offended a demonic Dharma Aspect True Person back then.

However, Li Yinsheng was able to guess the general idea.

It was most likely that Meng You'er's fellow disciple knew Wei Xingchong's identity and, after losing track of the two, went to the Taibai Sword Pavilion.

Whether that person was simply venting their anger on the Taibai Sword Pavilion or believed they could obtain information about Wei Xingchong or the Dao Sheng Jue from the Taibai Sword Pavilion is no longer important.

"I have some clues about the destruction of the Taibai Sword Pavilion, but given the current strength of the Golden Sword Sect..."

Li Yinsheng shook his head and didn't continue.

In his perception, the person with the highest cultivation level in the entire Golden Sword Sect was just an old man who was in seclusion and whose lifespan was running out.

"Chengfeng knows that his cultivation is low and dares not dream of revenge now. After all, even if he restores Taibai Sword Pavilion one day, revenge will probably still be a long way off."

Wei Chengfeng's gaze was firm: "But I still want to ask you, senior, to tell me so that I can serve as a goal for my descendants!"

Li Yinsheng stopped insisting and told Wei Chengfeng about Meng You'er, Wei Xingchong, and the Five Poisons Sect, picking out the parts he could talk about.

After hearing this, Wei Chengfeng's face remained resolute, but his eyes had lost much of their sparkle.

"Given the current state of the Golden Sword Sect, revenge is probably out of the question," Li Yinsheng said, shaking his head.

Although Wei Chengfeng's face was full of resentment, he still nodded: "I understand what you mean, senior. The Five Poisons Sect is indeed an unparalleled behemoth. The Golden Sword Sect probably has no hope of revenge in this lifetime..."

“No,” Li Yinsheng shook his head, “What I mean is that I will go to the Five Poisons Sect to settle the score regarding the grudge against the Taibai Sword Pavilion.”

"Even if the Golden Sword Sect were to revert to the Taibai Sword Pavilion one day, the Five Poisons Sect would most likely have already been wiped out by me."

"After all, I have formed a karmic bond with Fellow Daoist Meng and Fellow Daoist Wei, so it is only natural that I should do what I can for them."

Wei Chengfeng's eyes regained their brilliance, and he stood up again, solemnly kneeling and kowtowing to Li Yinsheng.

Li Yinsheng accepted the gift without hesitation.

After bowing, Wei Chengfeng cautiously said, "This... Senior, since you have obtained the Ancestor's Taibai Sword, then... on behalf of the Golden Sword Sect, I have a request, and I hope you will listen to it."

Li Yinsheng had a general idea in mind, but still nodded: "Please speak."

"Senior carries the Taibai Sword, which means he possesses the most important legacy left in the entire Taibai Sword Pavilion."

"If we are talking about the orthodox lineage of Li Bai, we should take the predecessors as our predecessors."

"Therefore, I humbly request that you accept the Golden Sword Sect as your disciple, senior. From now on, the entire Golden Sword Sect will serve you faithfully and at your beck and call!"

Wei Chengfeng said solemnly.

Li Yinsheng was slightly taken aback.

He had guessed that Wei Chengfeng would try to build a relationship through the Taibai Sword, but he didn't expect the other party to be so resolute. It seemed that he was going to offer up the entire Golden Sword Sect.

Seeing Li Yinsheng's expression, Wei Chengfeng assumed that he looked down on the Golden Sword Sect for being weak and outnumbered.

After all, he was a senior from the legendary Taihao Immortal Sect. Compared to his sect, the Five Poisons Sect, which was far beyond reach, seemed insignificant.

Compared to the power held by their predecessors, the Golden Sword Sect is probably dispensable, neither worth keeping nor worth discarding.

“Senior, when the founders of the Golden Sword Sect withdrew from the Taibai Sword Pavilion, they also took some important inheritances with them.”

"It's just that we descendants are unworthy these days. We either don't know how to use or cultivate those precious inheritances, or we know the methods but don't have the cultivation level. Very few of us can actually use them."

“Therefore, these inheritances have always been kept secret and well preserved,” Wei Chengfeng added decisively. “Since you wield the Taibai Sword, these inheritances may be useful to you.”

"If you were to take charge of the Golden Sword Sect, these inheritances should naturally be offered to you as well!"

"If the founders of the Taibai Sword Pavilion knew that these traditions could be restored by the predecessors who possessed the Taibai Sword, they would surely be comforted!"

Faced with Wei Chengfeng's series of escalating challenges, Li Yinsheng couldn't help but sigh, "This man truly lives up to his reputation as a sword cultivator; he is extremely decisive in his actions."

After a moment's thought, he asked the question that mattered most to him: "Sect Leader Wei, does the Golden Sword Sect have any method for refining Taibai Refined Gold among its preserved traditions?"

"Taibai Refined Gold? The method of refining it?"

Wei Chengfeng frowned, pondered carefully for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Reporting to senior, there is no method of refining in the inheritance that I have seen."

Li Yinsheng sighed inwardly, thinking to himself that this item was indeed rare.

Then Wei Chengfeng said, "However, if we're talking about readily available Taibai Refined Gold, we might keep one piece."

Li Yinsheng's eyes lit up.

……

In a secret chamber deep within the Golden Sword Sect's treasure vault.

Wei Chengfeng led Li Yinsheng forward.

Compared to the treasury which contained large amounts of gold, silver and ordinary materials, the innermost chamber was much simpler.

There were only six stone tables in total. Two of them were empty. The other four tables held a completely red crystal, a thick, pure white metal book, a pure white fruit, and a square box that looked nothing out of the ordinary.

"There were originally things on the two empty stone platforms, but they have already been used."

Wei Chengfeng explained, "As for the Taibai Refined Gold..."

He pointed to the crimson crystal: "In the records left in the gate, this thing is called Taibai Refined Gold, although I have never understood why it is called that."

Li Yinsheng withdrew his divine sense and smiled, "Well, I do know about that."

“The Taibai Refined Gold is extremely spiritual and has abundant and pure metal element energy. Sometimes it can even act on its own,” he said, looking at the crimson crystal. “This object contains gentle but powerful fire element energy, which is just right to suppress and seal the Taibai Refined Gold.”

No wonder he didn't notice such an active treasure as Taibai Refined Gold.

Without this arrangement, the Golden Sword Sect, which currently doesn't even have a single real member, would probably have been escaped by this thing long ago.

Wei Chengfeng suddenly realized what was going on, took the fist-sized crimson crystal, and presented it to Li Yinsheng.

Li Yinsheng did not refuse, and picked up the Taibai Refined Gold, saying, "Since I have accepted this item, I have a karmic connection with the Golden Sword Sect, and I will naturally take care of it from now on."

"However, the Golden Sword Sect has been rooted in Dayong for a long time and its foundation has become increasingly solid, so it should not be abandoned casually."

"In my opinion, the Golden Sword Sect shall remain in Dayong for the time being. If Sect Master Wei does not mind, I can grant the title of Supreme Elder and provide some assistance to the Golden Sword Sect."

"When the Golden Sword Sect grows stronger in the future and the time is right, I will help you return to the Ten Thousand Mountains and re-establish the Taibai Sword Pavilion. What do you think, Sect Master Wei?"

Wei Chengfeng immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Supreme Elder! Everything is at your discretion, Supreme Elder!"

In fact, the Golden Sword Sect has never established the position of Supreme Elder before, but it does now.

Li Yinsheng nodded and put away the Taibai Refined Gold: "Let's go, I still have some things to take care of."

"Elder, are there any of the three inherited items in the sect that catch your eye?" Wei Chengfeng asked.

"Since it's meant for the entire Golden Sword Sect, it's inconvenient for me to take it all," Li Yinsheng shook his head.

“These inheritances have been left vacant for a long time due to the incompetence of us younger generations. If the elders do not take them, it is truly a case of pearls being smeared!” Wei Chengfeng said without hesitation.

He understood very well that the person in front of him was the Supreme Elder of the entire Golden Sword Sect.

If this Grand Elder can benefit, then the entire Golden Sword Sect will benefit greatly.

And he wasn't lying; these things had been sitting there for so many years, they were more of a hot potato than a real problem.

Having said all that, Li Yinsheng stopped being coy and examined the remaining three items one by one.

He initially thought the book contained the techniques of the Taibai Sword Pavilion, but after reading it, he discovered that although it was a technique, it did not belong to the Taibai Sword Pavilion's inheritance system.

Instead, it is an extremely profound sword cultivation technique that focuses on sword intent, called "The Sword Scripture of Nothingness".

This item is by no means the mainstream inheritance of Taibai Sword Pavilion. Most of the sword cultivators of Taibai Sword Pavilion mainly use sword techniques similar to his, and also cultivate metal element, pursuing the greatest destructive power, and do not pay much attention to sword intent.

However, Xuanzhen Temple has many inheritances that involve other aspects, so it is not surprising that Taibai Sword Pavilion has techniques that focus on sword intent.

Back then, Taibai Sword Pavilion wasn't exactly a small sect; there were always a few sword cultivators who specialized in sword intent.

After reading it, Li Yinsheng discovered that although the "Sword Sutra of Nothingness" was extremely profound, it seemed to be a lineage passed down by immortals.

However, there is a significant difference between sword intent and sword technique. Although this method is profound, it is not suitable for his path.

Fortunately, my master specializes in sword intent, so I can pass it on to him.

If he remembered correctly, although the sword scripture his uncle cultivated was of good quality, it was still quite different from the lineage of immortals.

The other snow-white fruit, in a way, felt particularly familiar to him.

Because it is very similar to the cast vein rope, it is filled with the energy of metal.

The difference lies in the fact that the cast vein contains the metal element of Geng (庚), while the fruit contains the metal element of Xin (辛), and in much smaller quantities.
