He waved his hands, but the sturdy man didn't give him face and laughed at him with his wine bowl raised.

"Back then, you just took the exams for decades, and finally the immortal master got tired of you and reluctantly let you in. But after staying for a few years, he kicked you out again..."

The drunk man stood up with slurred speech and pointed his fingers, and his companions hurriedly held him down and smiled bitterly.

"Go ahead and tell me. The Immortal Master doesn't have time to care about a mortal like you who hasn't even established his foundation. We've been listening to you all along, and now you're suddenly silent. You should blame us for not being used to it."

"Alas... Master, please don't blame me."

After finishing the noodles in his bowl, Old Man Li burped softly, wiped his mouth casually, clasped his hands together and muttered something silently.

Then he stretched out his hand again and weighed it lightly.

The other few people understood what he meant, and took out a few extremely broken spirit stones or silver coins to put in the old man's hand as if to make up the number. After counting them slowly, he stuffed them into his arms and put on that ugly smile again.

"Then let me tell you the story of the Sword Immortal Luo Xingjian."

The old man was indeed a storyteller. He described the whole process of the young swordsman, from traveling out of the mountains to cultivating to the point of integration and calling himself a swordsman, and going through the "Six Tests of the Sword Soul" in great detail, as if he had experienced it himself.

Even Zhang Taoxiang, who was doing the accounting at the front desk, couldn't help but put down the account book in her hand, listened carefully, and imagined a lot about the elegant swordsman.

“Luo Xingjian is also a man of temperament. Originally, if he had passed only three of the six tests of the Sword Soul, he would have been famous throughout the world as a Sword Immortal.

But he only took one look at the final examiner, Yu Keqing, the leader of the Luofu sword, and was immediately fascinated by the fairy, determined to fight with her no matter what.

If I win, I want her to become my Taoist partner. If I lose, I will give up the title of Sword Immortal."

"The results of it?"

"The result? Yu Keqing didn't even look at him from beginning to end. Luo Xingjian, who claimed to be invincible, lost miserably and voluntarily gave up his position as a sword immortal and went out to travel. But after all, he passed the six tests of the sword soul, so people still respectfully called him the 'Sword Immortal'."

"Is Yu Keqing really that beautiful? Can she make even the Sword Immortal fall for her?"

"Nonsense, Luo Jianxian has seen so many fairies, but he is only fascinated by this one. Isn't that beautiful?"

"What a pity! I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life. So what happened to Yu Keqing?"

The drunk took a sip of wine, picked up the chopsticks, only to find the plate was empty, and then asked for the dishes to be served.

Zhang Taoxiang nodded, and the white-haired woman with the eye mask placed a pile of beef on his table and left without saying a word.

The strange thing was that she was obviously tall and beautiful, no less beautiful than the fairy they talked about, but the drunk man seemed not to notice it. He just picked up the wine glass and continued to question the old man Li.

"crazy."

Old man Li took a sip of wine and said calmly.

"crazy?"

"She lived too long. In pursuit of a breakthrough, she became possessed by a demon, hurt her fellow disciples, and escaped from the Luofu Sword Cave. Her whereabouts remain unknown to this day. The entire Luofu is searching for her."

No wonder Old Man Li dared to tell the story of the Sword Master directly at the foot of the mountain of Luofu Sword Grotto. It turned out that it was because she was no longer there.

On the side, the white-haired woman sat back in her original position quietly without saying a word.

Although the blindfolded white-haired fairy had been standing in the lobby, everyone ignored her existence as if she was wearing a sleight of hand.

......

That night, the crowd in the inn dispersed, leaving only Zhang Taoxiang and the white-haired woman to clean up the mess.

Yu Keqing's movements were exceptionally agile, but the way she held the broom with one hand seemed a little strange, as if she was holding a sword.

The old man who told the story during the day actually said almost the same thing as the truth.

If we have to say what was wrong, it is that Yu Keqing was not completely crazy and was still conscious. Otherwise, after realizing that she was out of control, she would not have taken the initiative to move away from Luofu Sword Cave and look for ways to suppress the evil spirit there.

Her eye mask was used to block ordinary people's gaze on her, which had the effect of an eye mask. Secondly, cutting off vision could also calm her down a lot.

If she goes completely crazy, it might not just be as simple as hurting a few people.

No one in the world can stop Yu Keqing at her full strength, otherwise she would not be revered as the sword master in the Luofu Sword Cave, which respects strength. She has been famous in Penglai Island for hundreds of years, and no one dares to look her in the face.

After cleaning up the mess in the front hall, Zhang Taoxiang breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the stool, and looked at Yu Keqing's back.

Sister Yu was so beautiful that as a woman, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

She has a mature temperament and a tall figure, and exudes an extraordinary aura of transcendence from head to toe. Even if she is doing the rough work of cleaning, she looks like a banished immortal who only cares about his own business.

Even with her eyes blindfolded, Yu Keqing could still sense the girl's gaze. She turned around and scared Zhang Taoxiang so much that she smiled awkwardly.

"Sister Yu, the Luofu Sword Cave will be open to the public in a few days. Do you think I can pass through smoothly?"

She was a little embarrassed and wanted to change the subject, but when she opened her mouth, she blinked in a trance, feeling a little lost.

What's wrong with me? Why do I have to bring up this?

Her father had her late in life and is now old and bedridden.

But the income from this small inn alone is not enough to cover the medical expenses, and the money in the account has run out.

If she could join Luofu Sword Cave and get a monthly salary of spirit stones, that would be fine. But if not...

Yu Keqing said nothing, she didn't like deception.

She doesn't like others lying to her, nor does she like to lie to others. The girl's talent is so poor that even ordinary small sects find it difficult to recruit her, let alone Luofu Sword Cave.

The best outcome would be to join as a registered disciple like Old Man Li did during the day, and then be sent back if he fails to pass the assessment within the time limit.

"Really? What am I telling my sister? Sister Yu, don't feel pressured. Even if I can't join Luofu Sword Cave, I will come back to inherit the inn. You don't have to worry about having no place to live."

The girl smiled bitterly, but the white-haired woman suddenly spoke.

"You can join Luofu Sword Cave."

Yu Keqing's voice was slightly cold, and Zhang Taoxiang was slightly stunned.

Even if you don't have good talent, you can rely on elixirs to improve your physical condition. She knows that there is a kind of sword heart grass that can enhance a person's potential in the way of the sword. Picking it is a piece of cake for Yu Keqing.

Luofu Jianshou has her own pride. She has been staying in the inn for so long, so she naturally cannot owe anyone a favor.

"Then I'll ask for your blessing, sister. If I become rich in the future, I will definitely not forget you."

Seeing how determined she was, Zhang Taoxiang thought she was just comforting herself and responded with a forced smile.

"Ah."

Yu Keqing lived a very long life. As the Luofu Sword Master, she had witnessed the ups and downs of human nature over the past few hundred years.

Too many so-called perfect couples make vows to never give up on each other, but in the end they often go their separate ways when disaster strikes. Even the few that do better cannot withstand the wear and tear of time.

She had long since stopped believing in love, so when Luo Xingjian pursued her, she rejected him outright.

Logically, she shouldn't have responded to such a casual promise.

But Yu Keqing still hummed and turned around. Her clean and smooth white ponytail swayed slightly, which made Zhang Taoxiang a little fascinated.

So beautiful and so gentle, how could there be such a fresh and refined person in the world.

However, it is understandable that my sister is indifferent to ordinary people, but why do other people seem to ignore her?

Zhang Taoxiang touched his head and stared at Yu Keqing's departing back.

Even she herself did not notice that there was another strange pattern in her eyes, which looked like a human face, or like the mark on the belly of a poisonous spider.

......

Outside Liufeng City, a Taoist priest in a white robe and wearing a strange mask stared quietly at the spider silk in his hand.

The patterns on his mask were exactly the same as those in Zhang Taoxiang's eyes.

Yu Keqing has lived too long. If she were to break through to the fusion level, even her own master would not be able to hold her back, which would be extremely disadvantageous to the Immortal Alliance.

However, that crazy woman was indeed a good fighter, and he could not gain any advantage in a direct confrontation, so the good Taoist had to use the spider web to deduce and kill with a borrowed knife.

For example, the next sword master of Luofu Sword Cave, Luo Xingjian.

The title of Luofu Sword Master is a lifelong position. Yu Keqing took over the title from his master a hundred years ago and has never accepted any disciples to date.

If she hadn't died, Luo Xingjian would always be known as "the next Sword Master".

Chapter 90: Sword Head

The fragments of the Heavenly Book became more and more agitated, and Ye Xun could only fly forward on his sword in the direction of the sensation.

It had never been so nervous before, and it seemed that his patient might have been in trouble at this moment.

If the patient died, he could not guarantee that the remaining fragments of the Heavenly Book would not continue to assign him the next one. By then, his last hope of prolonging his life would probably be blocked.

Ye Xun would not complain about the suddenness of the incident, but before resigning himself to fate and accepting that things went against his wishes, he could only try his best.

-------------------------------------

Yu Keqing was at the foot of the cliff with a cold expression on her face, rushing towards Liufeng City.

Before going out, she only brought her companion spirit sword and kept it in her body, so the immortal herbs had to be picked now.

Sword Heart Grass is a rare magical herb with sharp medicinal properties. Ordinary people will be cut if they touch it.

But in the hands of the white-haired woman, it was as obedient as a cat and did not dare to move.

She could feel that the evil power in her body was stirring and on the verge of getting out of control, but she still hadn't found a way to suppress it.

After delivering the Sword Heart Grass to the inn, she must leave as soon as possible.

Suddenly, several figures appeared from the top of the cliff at an extremely fast speed and arrived in front of Yu Keqing in the blink of an eye.

Their strength was no less than that of Fanxu, and their faces were all familiar. In the past, in the sect of Luofu Sword Cave, they all treated her with great respect.

But now, they all hold long swords in their hands.

The leading man was named Su Tongshi, an elder of high status in Luofu Sword Cave.

The other few people are no less powerful than him and have the same status.

"Please Sword Master return to the sect!"

They knelt on one knee, clasped their hands together, and pointed their swords at the ground. It was hard to tell whether it was a gesture of respect or a threat.

From the moment Yu Keqing left Liufeng City, she was found by the spies from Luofu Sword Cave.

They searched almost every corner of Penglai Island, but they never expected that she would be hiding in Liufeng City, which is so nearby.

Yu Keqing said nothing, but carefully put the Sword Heart Grass into the bag around her waist, without even taking off her blindfold.

Su Tongshi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his Adam's apple moved nervously with Yu Keqing's movements.

As an elder of Luofu Sword Cave, he was naturally aware of Yu Keqing's strength. The white-haired woman in front of him had unfathomable true energy and her sword moves had reached perfection.

Among the fellow disciples who were injured before she escaped, there was even another combined entity.

"I can't go back. You can't stop me."

Yu Keqing's tone was calm, neither sad nor happy.

The reason why she stayed away from Luofu Sword Cave was to avoid harming her fellow disciples when the evil spirit broke out.

The people on the opposite side naturally understood what she meant, but still refused to give in.

If Luofu Sword Cave cannot suppress her, there is no other force or other person in the world that can possibly suppress her evil spirit.

"Even if the sword master's true energy is exhausted, he may not be able to kill all of us."

They could not allow a mentally unstable sword master to roam around. Once Yu Keqing's evil spirit broke out, it would bring irreparable consequences to the reputation of Luofu Sword Cave.

Before leaving, these elders had already signed a life and death agreement. If they died outside on this trip, their names would be recorded in the Luofu Sword Soul Temple, and their disciples, relatives, and descendants would all be trained with the highest treatment. If they were unable to practice, they would be taken care of by the Luofu Sword Cave until they died of old age.

What's more, they only need to delay for a while, and Luo Jianxian will arrive soon.

Without further ado, they picked up their swords and attacked Yu Keqing.

......

In a blink of an eye, a row of people were lying on the ground. Yu Keqing had not even drawn her sword, and there were no wounds on her body.

Only his bag was torn, and Jian Xincao tried to escape but was caught by her.

A group of elders from Luofu Sword Cave could only do this.

This delay was enough time for Luo Xingjian to arrive.

The swordsman was dressed in a plain Taoist robe, standing with his hands behind his back, and his long sword placed on his back.

He had been looking for an environment that could suppress Yu Keqing's symptoms, and finally found the quiet snow cave in the west, so he came back a little late.

"Sword Master, if you are still conscious, please come back with me."
