Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

....................................

The second day of the sect celebration.

Today is more lively, because today is a painting and poetry competition. Jiang Li originally wanted to join in the fun. Jun Wenning is also participating in today's competition. Jun Wenning painted a landscape painting, which is majestic and shrouded in clouds and mist. Bai Zigui also participated in the competition and painted a peach blossom painting. His painting skills are really amazing. Jiang Li glanced at the Moon Fairy in the corner, glanced at Youlan, then glanced at Jun Wenning and Su Yeli. He hesitated for a moment and finally gave up.

Later, when it came to the poetry writing session, Jiang Li saw Bai Zigui beating his chest and stamping his feet, and looked at him curiously. Bai Zigui happened to look at him as well, and Jiang Li saw his lips move slightly, "I hate it."

"What do you hate?"

"I didn't learn Chinese well in my previous life."

"..." Jiang Li was speechless.

The poetry writing competition was lively, but Jiang Li had no desire to participate. After all, what was copied was just copied, and in the end all he would gain was false fame. He didn't need false fame much now.

The final winner of the painting competition was Jun Wen Ning. Her paintings were ethereal and fairy-like, but Jiang Li always felt that they were rigid and stiff, like a pool of stagnant water. However, everyone else thought they were good. Jiang Li couldn't explain this feeling, maybe it was just his personal prejudice.

After these competitions are over, the only thing left is to hold a sword-fighting competition to compete for the six mother peaches.

The rules are very simple. Those who come to debate can choose their own opponents, and the winner can advance to the next round. Jiang Li saw that no one was on the stage yet, so he was the first to step onto the stage.

There was curiosity and anticipation in the eyes of the disciples in the audience.

In fact, many people know Jiang Li's name. The origin of this name includes but is not limited to the fact that he climbed to the top of Tongtian Road and went to the trading shop to buy a bunch of silk and satin to make a dance dress for Fairy Yue... His current sixth-level divine body cultivation is definitely not low among the younger generation of Yeyue Sect, but it is not particularly high either. There are dozens of inner disciples who are ranked higher and have higher cultivation than him.

What kind of opponent would he choose? Many people looked at the seats for the challenge with curiosity. There were Yue Xianzi, Ji Wuming, Cen Qiushui, Bai Zigui, Dao Xiu Mo Jian, Ji Boyuan, Jun Wenning, as well as Feng Xisi and Feng Xi Nian. The most likely choices were Feng Xisi and Feng Xi Nian. After all, the cultivation of these two little phoenixes did not seem to be high, but they were only at the sixth level of the Divine Body. The least likely choices were probably Jun Wenning and Ji Boyuan. After all, the cultivation of these two people was only at the first level of the Divine Soul, and the gap between the realms was too big.

But Jiang Li had already noticed the provocative look.

"It's you. Stop looking and come up." Jiang Li pinched out a sword of energy and pointed the tip of the sword at Ji Boyuan in the audience.

This was undoubtedly a provocative action, but in an instant, Ji Boyuan's body appeared on the stands. His sword had been chopped into pieces by the Sword of No Life, and now he could only form a sword of Qi in his hand.

"I'm curious how you dare to choose me." Ji Boyuan's eyes were particularly unfriendly.

Jiang Li actually had no other reason for choosing him, he just remembered that he said he would challenge Fairy Yue at the sect celebration, so he might as well let him solve this little problem for Fairy Yue first.

Red mist began to rise from Ji Boyuan's body. His figure began to twist and enlarge in Jiang Li's sight, until his skin was covered with red phosphorus armor and his pupils were completely bloodshot. This was the true form of the demon. Because of the influence of spiritual energy, the sword of energy in his hand also turned scarlet. The sword force contained in it was similar to what Jiang Li had felt before. That was the ancient Demon Emperor. At this moment, he was obviously driven by the residual soul of the Demon Emperor, and might be a tough opponent.

Youlan in the stands felt a little uneasy. She glanced at Yue Fairy inadvertently, and the same was true of Yue Fairy's eyes.

Su Yeli's expression did not change at all, but Bai Zigui was full of anticipation. He opened his formation plate. Just as he was about to open his round plate and prepare to start, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, scaring the people around him.

"Oh my god..." Bai Zigui took a look at the odds on the disc, his eyes widened, and then he put the disc away in an instant.

"It's not appropriate for me to be the banker today. It's not appropriate for me to be the banker today." He smiled awkwardly, declined the disciple who was ready to sponsor his small business, and then looked at Jiang Li on the stage, with a bit of fear in his eyes.

"He really is...that person."

Chapter 430: Chapter I am a genius

The sword is a carrier.

The same goes for sword moves.

Jiang Li vaguely remembered that there had been a dispute in the sword cultivation school about which realm was more profound, having a sword or not having a sword. From this, it was also derived that there was a sword in the hand but no sword in the heart, a sword in the heart but no sword in the hand, or there was no sword in the hand and no sword in the heart. These sword fanatics thought about it over and over again and tortured themselves into crazy people.

Jiang Li didn't care that much about the sword. He remembered that the Wuming Sword came to him personally. He happened to have no sword to use at that time, so he carried the Wuming Sword with him and didn't cherish it that much. So when Ji Wuming wanted to return the sword to him last time, he didn't care that much.

Dabai once said that the Burning Snow Sword once wanted to recognize him as its master, but he rejected it. The sword spirit turned into Zisha Yu. But now the sword has come into his hands by accident, and he can't tell whether it is fate or not.

What he has in his hand now is a sword of Qi. The principle of the sword of Qi is very simple and any cultivator can use it. It uses spiritual energy to transform into a spiritual sword. However, it has different manifestations according to different spiritual energy. For example, a sword of Qi with a fire attribute spiritual root has a scorching temperature. Its spiritual energy belongs to chaos, and the five elements of spiritual energy just maintain a delicate balance on the blade.

Ji Boyuan obviously had an aura attribute related to fire. The sword in his hand was blazing red, and the scorching heat made the entire stands feel a little hot and unbearable. The two men stood at both ends of the ring, and had not yet made a move, as if they were watching silently.

In fact, Ji Boyuan felt inexplicably fearful.

The first move of a sword cultivator is naturally to find the opponent's weakness. Even though his bloodline has been catalyzed to the limit at this moment, and the brutal and bloodthirsty instincts of the demon race are filling his brain, he has not lost his most basic rationality. Finding the flaw is the most important part, but at this moment, Jiang Li standing in front of him, for some reason, he always has the feeling that he is looking up to him.

It was obvious that he was just standing there.

Jiang Li didn't seem to be ready to draw his sword first. He just stood in the hazy rain. Raindrops danced on the ground. The steaming mist gradually filled the entire arena. In the hazy mist, he heard Jiang Li's confused question, "Are you still not going to draw your sword?"

"Why don't you come out?"

"Wait for you."

Ji Boyuan's uneasiness became even stronger. Although he always felt that Jiang Li was playing tricks at this moment, the inexplicable intuition in his head made him feel a little uneasy. No, it was not just his intuition, but the residual soul of the ancient demon emperor in his body also had the same intuition.

At this moment, even the disciples in the audience were a little confused.

The thick fog did not just block their vision, but the scene before them was indeed very strange. Ji Boyuan had clearly pushed his bloodline to its limit, and even his aura seemed to have faintly reached the second level of the soul. However, Jiang Li's cultivation was only at the sixth level of the divine body. Why didn't he draw his sword?

Seeing that half an incense stick of time was almost over, Ji Boyuan's body finally moved without any warning. It was raining heavily, and his body passed through the rain in an instant. The sword of Qi in his hand seemed to have the power to cover the sky and the sun, slashing down.

After one sword strike, Jiang Li's body disappeared in front of him.

But when he turned his head subconsciously, it was already a little too late. Jiang Li had already drawn his sword, and this sword did not leave any backup. He poured all his skills into this sword. The sword was pointing three points below his left shoulder, but this place happened to be his weak point.

The sword hit Ji Boyuan the moment it came out, and before he felt the pain, his meridians and acupoints had been completely destroyed by the sword. The sword force invaded his body in an instant, making him completely unable to move. His blood and qi flowed backwards, and his spiritual energy was disordered. If he rashly used his luck at this moment, it might instead destabilize his sea of ​​qi and make him completely useless.

Then his body fell down weakly.

Jiang Li was still standing in the rain, and the sword of Qi in his hand had disappeared. The winner had been decided, so there was naturally no need to hold the sword anymore.

He walked towards the bottom of the arena without even looking at Ji Boyuan. However, Ji Boyuan was obviously unwilling to give up. His eyes were still fixed on Jiang Li's direction. "How did you break my sword power?"

In the eyes of everyone, it seemed as if Ji Boyuan disappeared for only a moment, and the next moment he fell to the ground, but more than just this much time had passed. Ji Boyuan had clearly pushed the sword's power to the limit, and the time of this world was slowed down. Only he could swing the sword at the normal speed of time here, but Jiang Li dodged the sword in a particularly strange way, and he had no idea how the other party did it.

"It's your time that has been slowed down." Jiang Li paused for a moment, "Don't you feel a little familiar?"

"this is mine……"

"I learned it the last time I saw you draw your sword."

"why?"

"No reason, because I'm a genius." Jiang Li shrugged.

"Then how do you know where my weakness is..."

"See with your eyes."

Ji Boyuan was speechless.

The answer is the correct answer, but not everyone can use perception to easily see through a person's weakness, and be especially confident that he will use all his spiritual energy to bet that this sword will hit, leaving him with no room for defense.

"You are clearly behind me, why...?"

"Sword One, the sword will hit the target." Jiang Li answered innocently, "This is the rule. This is the rule I set."

"You...decided it?"

"Alas, you don't understand." Jiang Li didn't plan to explain any further. He walked down from the stage, and the sword fight came to an end.

....................................

"You were clearly behind him, how did the sword get in front of him?"

"The sword is a carrier, and so is spiritual energy. They are all carriers. Since they are carriers, they are part of the rules. I can stab them wherever I want." Jiang Li patiently explained to Youlan.

“I still don’t quite understand.”

"This is part of the Heavenly Dao rules that I plundered after I became a Divine Lord." Jiang Li thought for a while, "Rules are the foundation of the world, just like a cultivator needs to absorb a lot of spiritual energy to continuously advance. This is the rule, the rule set by Heavenly Dao. If you are the one who masters the rules, you can also let a person reach Divine Lord in an instant, because the rules are set by you, you can write them however you want. You can say that fish fly in the sky, or you can say that birds live in the water. We understand the world based on the rules, but if the rules change, the past understanding will be meaningless."

"Is this your sword power?"

"Well, this is Sword One. Once the sword is out, it will hit the opponent's weakest point. It cannot be avoided in any way. It will definitely hit the opponent's weakest point."

"What is Sword Two?"

"Sword Two is Soul Burning, because it involves more rules, and will be backfired by the rules, sacrificing a part of the soul to destroy the opponent's spirit."

"Where's Jian San?"

"seal."

"seal?"

"I will strike my opponent with my sword thousands of years ago, ignoring cause and effect, but I cannot kill him. I can only make him have his spiritual energy instantly sealed by the sword energy seed that I planted thousands of years ago when he fights me thousands of years later."

"anything else?"

"Not for now. I still don't understand Sword Four."

Youlan nodded slightly and looked at him, "Can I learn?"

"I would like to teach, but whether you can learn... is another matter." Jiang Li smiled bitterly.

Youlan glanced at him, then shook her head, "Forget it, I won't learn anymore."

The debate was not over yet, only Jiang Li's battle was over. He was qualified to get a peach from the mother peach tree. There were other debates to come. Bai Zigui's disc seemed to be fine again. He took advantage of the empty seat next to Jiang Li and came to sit next to him with his disc. Jiang Li looked at his strange disc and asked curiously, "What kind of magic weapon is this?"

"It's Goldfinger."

"……what?"

"It doesn't have a name. It has been in my mind since I came to this world. I only materialized it after I had enough cultivation. It can peek into some of the causes and effects of the past, so it always calculates the most reasonable odds, but it cannot peek into the future, and it cannot be used too frequently, otherwise it will backfire."

Bai Zigui spat out blood just now because of this. He was curious and wanted to open a bet between Jiang Li and Ji Boyuan, but he was suddenly attacked before he saw the result. Bai Zigui looked at him and said, "You really are... that person."

"Ok?"

"That's... the Master of the Lifeless Sword who has the same name as you."

"it's me."

There didn't seem to be much to hide at the moment, and Bai Zigui breathed a sigh of relief. It made sense to think this way. But a moment later, he suddenly took out a token and gave it to Jiang Li.

"what?"

“The super super super super super super super supreme gold card of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.”

"What do you want me to do this for?"

"This is yours. The Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce originally thought you were dead and should have cancelled your account, but for some reason, the leader chose to keep your gold card. But now he has retired and handed everything to me, so the gold card happens to be with me. Since it is yours, just return it to its original owner."

Jiang Li held the golden card. With his spiritual energy detection, he had no idea what it was made of, but it looked pretty good, with floral patterns printed on it. After studying it for a while, he asked, "What's it for?"

"This is the highest level membership card of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce. With this card, you can take any treasure from Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce every year, and you can command all branches of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce in the upper realm to do anything for you. In addition, this gold card is also a symbol of status. Having this card represents everything of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce. You can buy any amount on credit... Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce will pay for you in the end."

"Then what do I need to do?" Jiang Li had a strange expression.

“You don’t need to do anything, just enjoy the convenience of the gold card.”

"Why?" Jiang Li didn't understand. There weren't so many free lunches in this world.

"I don't know the details. After all, the master has retired for many years. Maybe you had some friendship with the master in the past. I have already delivered the card. The master has been traveling around for many years. Now I don't know where the master has gone. If you have the opportunity to meet the master again one day, maybe you will know the story behind this gold card."

"What is the name of your leader?" Jiang Li tried to find it from his memory.

But Bai Zigui shook his head and said, "The leader of the guild has never let anyone know his true appearance and name."

Chapter 431: Chapter If You Are Afraid of Pain

Jiang Li held the card and recalled for a long time, and a few blurry images seemed to flash through his mind.

Hot, fiery red.

Fiery eyes.

A flaming long whip.

Wait, what?

But when he wanted to recall more, his memory disappeared. In the end, he could only give up for the time being and put the card into his storage space. He didn't know much about the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce. He just knew that it was the largest chamber of commerce in the upper realm. As for how powerful it was, he never really understood it.

The following debates gradually came to an end. Cen Qiu Shui lost to Ji Wuming, and Jun Wen Ning won the Fire Phoenix that the two little phoenixes transformed into after merging. Jiang Li thought that after the two little phoenixes merged, there would be a scene of a loli turning into a mature woman, but unfortunately it was clearly still just a little loli.

Boring, lolita control is ()

....................................

The sect celebration ended here.

Jiang Li returned to the courtyard. Those chosen ones who came to the sect had also received the mother tree peaches given by the sect. They were all preparing to leave one after another. Jiang Li was admiring the flowers in the courtyard. He heard particularly light footsteps outside the courtyard. He walked to the door and opened it. Fairy Yue was standing outside the door.
