There were many people, some were alone, some were escorted by nearly a hundred people, and they drove their carriages with great fanfare.
"Interesting, they all went to Mingjian Villa. This scene is bigger than the annual spring party in Qiandong City!" Baili Dongjun sighed and found it very interesting.
“Don’t be fooled by the large number of people. Only a few people can actually get a sword. Most of them are here to join in the fun. In the end, it will depend on their own martial arts and the size of the forces behind them. Ordinary people should forget about it.” Li Qiye shook his head and said.
It takes three years to sharpen a sword, but the sword has already been divided up and reserved. Ordinary people don't even need to think about it and are not qualified to participate in the competition
"Is this how you play? Then what's the point of testing the sword? It would be better to just tell us who the sword belongs to." Baili Dongjun was surprised. Isn't this just a joke?
"Last time, all the swords of Mingjian Villa were taken away because Wushuangcheng said he wanted them all, so many people returned empty-handed?" Wenhujiu added, looking solemn. He saw Wushuangcheng coming again.
"So cruel? So domineering?" Baili Dongjun was shocked.
"The powerful will only become stronger, and the weak will only be exploited and assimilated"
Li Qiye stated a cruel fact. It should be said that all feudal societies are like this. Moreover, this is a world of high martial arts.
Even though he had only read the stories of the later generations, none of the protagonists there had an ordinary background, such as Lei Wujie, who had a lot of nicknames.
For example, the eight sons of Beili, all of them have great wealth, so ordinary people have no chance to enter the Imperial Academy.
This is not a competition of strength, it's clearly a competition of background and resources
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be so concerned about the country and the people. It would be a pity if you don't become an official." Wen Hujiu laughed. He still has this kind of thought.
Li Qiye did not answer him, but rode forward, with a carefree attitude, chanting loudly:
"The whole world is turbid, but I am clear; everyone is drunk, but I am sober
I am a banished immortal from heaven, how can the mortal world pollute my heart?
I am free and happy in the wine, how can I bow down to the powerful?
"I am invincible in the world, and I deserve to be drunk in this world!"
"What a good poem!" Baili Dongjun admired it. Although he didn't like reading, wasn't what the poem described what he longed for?
Baili Dongjun felt that he had found a fellow traveler. As for who the first one was, everyone knew him, and he was right beside him.
"This kid is really free and unrestrained. He can see everything clearly, but he still does what he wants. He is really like a banished immortal who has come down to earth. He does whatever he wants." Wen Yanjiu whispered, and the two followed him. They stopped their horses at the foot of a mountain and walked up the mountain.
"Do you have a visiting card?" The servant stopped him and asked. If you are not a powerful person, you cannot go up the mountain.
"Is this feasible?" Li Qiye took out a token from his arms.
The servant took the jade token and was stunned. He saw the words "Jianxin Tomb" engraved on it. He wiped his eyes and read it carefully again to make sure he was not mistaken.
"Can you please say it?" Li Qiye said again
"Or do you, Mingjian Villa, not even have this much magnanimity, and think that the swords you forged are inferior and inconvenient for people to see?"
"Yes...yes, please!" the servant replied hesitantly, and handed the jade token back respectfully.
As Li Qiye walked up the mountain, the servant kept looking at him, muttering, "What the hell is going on today? Why are people from Jianxin Tomb here too? Are they here to mess things up?"
Since they were both famous sword forges, there were naturally fights and competitions. Although they looked calm on the surface, they actually disliked each other and did not have much contact.
Then, the servant saw the Wen family's token again. He was almost scared to death. He immediately returned the token tremblingly and kept wiping his hands, as if he had touched something unclean.
"What kind of gods are these who came today? I should have known not to take this job. Cleaning the toilet is better than this." The servant at the gate complained.
Li Qiye and his two companions walked along the way, feeling very relaxed and comfortable. They did not seem to be here to seek swords, but rather to travel.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, white cranes flying, and tall and straight pines, it is such a pure land on earth!
“This is so spectacular!”
Baili Dongjun was extremely shocked when he saw the swords sticking all over the mountain. This was a real sword mountain. The whole mountain could be called a sword tomb or a sword grave.
"Brother Qiye, Brother Qiye, are there so many swords in your Jianxin Tomb?" Baili Dongjun asked excitedly, looking around like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, full of curiosity.
"Yes, and it has been made into a mountain protection formation," Li Qiye replied.
Sword making is not always smooth sailing. The right time, right place, and right people are all essential. Any mistake may cause the sword to become a defective product. Any sword that is not of the best quality will be discarded and recycled for reforging.
Of course, most of the swords stuck on the mountain of Mingjian Villa are to commemorate a sword fairy sixty years ago - Wei Changshu
Anyone who came to Wei Changshu had to leave his sword behind if he lost. Over time, the swords of challengers filled up half of the mountain.
Until he died at the hands of Kunlun Sword Immortal, swordsmen from later generations still came to commemorate him and inserted a sword here.
Baili Dongjun was like a curious monkey, talking about the affairs of the martial arts world, asking questions all the time, showing great interest.
"Uncle...Who is the Kunlun Sword Immortal?"
"Why didn't you get the title of Poison Fairy?"
"Brother Qiye... I don't find a sword that satisfies me here. You have to take me to Jianxin's house to find one."
However, at this moment, Li Qiye was startled, and the system's voice rang in his mind again.
[Ding, the host has arrived at Mingjian Villa, do you want to sign in? ]
"Sign in," Li Qiye said hurriedly, feeling extremely surprised. He wondered what good things he could get this time.
I got the peerless swordsmanship of "Flying Fairy from the Sky" in Chaisang City, so I think this time it won't be too bad.
[Ding, congratulations to the host, sign in to Mingjian Villa, and be rewarded with an Infinite Firepower Truth! ]
As the system finished speaking, a pistol appeared out of thin air in the system space. It was a pure gold Desert Eagle.
“Damn, this is the truth!” Li Qiye couldn’t believe his eyes. All the epoch-making things were signed in.
"A top-level hidden weapon! Isn't this countless times more powerful than the Tang Sect's most powerful Explosive Rain of Flower Needles?"
"Seven steps away, the gun is fast; within seven steps, the gun is fast and accurate"
"What a great truth! If used well, even a half-step divine wandering can kill someone." Li Qiye was delighted. This could be used as a trump card to kill people invisibly and be hard to guard against.

Chapter 27 Non-Staff and Toxic Chicken Soup
The three of them entered Mingjian Villa. A banquet had already been set up in the huge courtyard. People were coming and going. The swordsmen sat opposite each other and talked in low voices.
In the middle was an empty platform. Everyone knew that this was where swords would be placed for swordsmen to admire and compete for.
"Mr. Wen, Mr. Li, please take your seats!" A young male swordsman came forward to greet them and ushered them to their seats.
There are six large tables on this floor, five of which are already full, and only the sixth table is empty. No one dares to sit there. After all, there is a poisonous person here, and he is a very poisonous person.
"Master Li, I heard that you came from Jianxin Tomb?" the sword servant asked, with a hint of worry in his words.
"That's right, but don't get me wrong, I'm not here to mess things up. I don't know how to forge swords, and I know nothing about this," Li Qiye explained. He was here just to accompany Xiao Dongjun.
"Whoo~"
The sword attendant seemed to be relieved, and then said with a smile: "Then Mr. Li is the sword protector?"
“Hmm… it doesn’t seem to be true. It can only be considered as half a day… Just treat me as a non-staff member, just a name on the Jianxin Tomb,” Li Qiye said after hesitating for a moment.
Generally, if a swordsmith wants to forge a good sword, he needs to focus on making the sword, so he won't have much time to learn martial arts, and his martial arts skills won't be very high.
But there will always be disputes in the martial arts world, and swordsmiths are no exception. Therefore, there are sword protectors who only learn martial arts. They are divided into two branches to protect swordsmiths.
"Extra staff?" The young swordsman looked puzzled. This was the first time he had heard this term.
"Hahaha... Don't worry, this kid is right. He just accompanied us to watch and will not disrupt the sword test competition. Moreover, this kid has been taking private jobs outside all year round. He is known as a bounty hunter and basically rarely returns to Jianxin Tomb." Wenhujiu laughed and blurted out everything.
"I was overthinking. Please forgive me, Master Li." The sword servant apologized with a fist
"fine"
Li Qiye didn't care about such a small matter. He would not be too relieved if someone from the rival side came.
He picked up the wine on the table and tasted it. It was authentic sword wine. It was sharp and sharp, just like a sword. Moreover, this wine had a strong aftertaste and it was easy to get drunk if you drank too much.
I remember that when I was a kid, I drank this wine secretly and got drunk. I almost burned down the Sword Pavilion, causing chaos at Jianxin Tomb.
At this moment, Li Qiye noticed that the sword servant was staring at his sword leaning against the corner of the table, his eyes seemed to be shining brightly, and he couldn't help but admire it.
"Interesting, are you interested in my sword?" Li Qiye asked
"Mr. Li, your sword is extraordinary. Can I take a closer look?" The sword servant asked at the right time, very eagerly.
The sword servants present were not all sword servants. Some swordsmiths were very concerned about who would end up with their swords. So they would disguise themselves as sword servants and hide in the sword-testing conference, looking for someone they really thought was suitable for their sword.
Obviously, the one in front of him is a swordsmith, and he is not just a simple swordsmith. The calluses on his palms are inconsistent with his age. He is too old.
Without years of hammering, it would be impossible to form such a thick callus. At his age, he could only forge swords day and night since he was a child.
This is a great test of a person's will, because after doing something for a long time, even if he likes it, he will feel tired and bored.
“Yes, please!” Li Qiye did not refuse and handed over the sword generously.
"bass!"
Suddenly, a starlight flashed, and the Seven Star Sword came out. Even Baili Dongjun had never drawn the sword before, but he easily unsheathed it, held it in his hand, and looked at it repeatedly.
"Amazing!"
"This sword seems to be made by nature, mixed with the original, accompanied by starlight, as smooth as jade, and there is no flaw from the sword body to the hilt. It is really a peerless sword!" The sword servant commented and praised.
"Ding!"
The young sword servant tapped the sword with his fingers again and put it to his ear to listen carefully to the sound of the blade vibrating.
The next moment, his expression was filled with confusion and shock, and he muttered to himself: "I can't even tell the material and craftsmanship of this sword? The toughness of the metal is far beyond that of existing swords. Other swords will only break when they collide with it."
Li Qiye listened to him talking to himself and thought to himself: "This generation of Mingjian Villa has produced an extraordinary swordsmith, who is on par with old man Li Suwang. In just a few moments, he has revealed so much."
Even my father has not studied this Seven Star Sword thoroughly. Its material is not made of any existing metal.
"The sword I forged is not as good as yours. This sword can be among the top three in the sword list!" The sword servant sighed, feeling a little lonely.
Mingjian Villa had always been suppressed and could only rank second. Now, after seeing this sword, the young sword servant became depressed and lost the enterprising spirit of a young man.
Li Qiye seemed to have noticed his change and comforted him: "Brother, why do you have to sigh? Young people still have a long way to go. You should move forward with pride and constantly surpass yourself.
Although you live like an ant, you should have lofty ambitions. Although your life is as thin as paper, you should have an unyielding heart. When you are in adversity, why fear the wind, frost, snow and rain? When you are at the end of your road, you should be unstoppable. The outcome of the world is uncertain, and you and I are both dark horses!
Besides, my sword was not made in Jianxin Tomb, but came from the stars in the sky, so you don’t have to belittle yourself.”
The young swordsman's eyes lit up. Li Qiye's words undoubtedly enlightened and inspired him. A surge of blood burned in his heart, and he regained his confidence.
"Thank you for your teachings, sir. I will definitely make a better sword in my lifetime and climb to the top!" The sword servant bowed with his fists clasped together, showing great confidence, which was in stark contrast to what he had just done.
"Okay, this is what a young man should be like. It makes me want to be young again and go out into the world." Wen took a sip of the wine and laughed.
"It's a pity that you don't become an official. What you say is an inspirational article that will be passed down through the ages. Unlike Xiao Baili, who only knows how to make wine," Wenhujiu said again
He turned his head and saw Baili Dongjun taking a big gulp of wine, then exhaling a long breath: "Sword wine, it's really sword wine!"
He covered his forehead with a bottle of wine and shook his head. It was really incomparable.
"Why compare? Everyone is different, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. As long as you live a free and happy life, that's fine." Li Qiye smiled. In fact, the past was too painful to look back on.
As a person who was used to listening to poisonous chicken soup in his previous life, he would naturally learn a few words. It was precisely because he listened to it too much that he worked so hard that he ended up being a mule until he died suddenly.
Alas, it’s all tears if I say too much, what a damn poisonous chicken soup!
However, he never thought that one day he would tell others poisonous chicken soup and scare them. But people nowadays believe in this.
Li Qiye looked at the sword servant beside him with a light in his eyes. Isn’t this the same me as before?
Oh, this one is different. It seems that he has real abilities and resources. He was born in Mingjian Villa.
"Damn it, I seem to have brought a great enemy to Jianxin Tomb, and he is so young, but there has not been a decent swordsmith master to succeed the old man yet."
Li Qiye cursed himself inwardly, wondering why he was so talkative. He thought that Lei Dazui must have infected me.
At this moment, Lei Mengsha, who had hurried over from Mingjian Villa, couldn't help but sneeze.
"Ah sneeze!"
"Why did I sneeze for no reason? Could it be that my Xinyue and Hanyi missed me?" Lei Mengsha stopped and muttered.
"Hurry up, Mengsha, or you won't be able to see the Sword of the Palace of Immortals in time," Luo Xuan shouted. Along with him were Master Mochen, Master Liuyue, and their sedan-carrying servants.
This time, they came here because Luo Xuan's sister was invited by Mingjian Villa to play music, and thus learned that there would be a fairy palace sword coming out, so they came here to watch
