Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

Song Yan spoke in a scoundrelly manner and seemed nonchalant, but her eyes were full of curiosity and interest as she secretly looked at Keqing.

She also didn't expect Keqing to be still alive. Judging from the situation at the time, the old guy had already made up his mind to kill her, and it didn't look like the other party could survive.

However, things are so miraculous. The other party survived. Looking at the red marks on her neck, it can be seen that the girl was attacked. However, when they broke the barrier, the girl was still alive, but the old guy disappeared.

Could it be...possession?

Song Yan felt uneasy as he looked at Keqing with a scrutinizing gaze.

"By the way, where's that old guy?"

she asked.

"Yes, where is the person from Yan family?"

Guangheng asked.

"Could it be that he ran away?"

He frowned.

"This guy ran really fast. He left in the blink of an eye. I didn't sense any of his presence. Do you know where he went?"

Keqing paused and shook her head.

"You mean, he didn't run away? Then is that guy still hiding here?"

Guangheng spread out his spiritual sense carefully and scanned, but did not find any breath.

“I haven’t seen it…”

He frowned, then looked at Keqing, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if joking.

"It seems that he ran away. My friend, you are really a joker. I thought he was still here... Could it be that he could be killed by you?"

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Song Yan's scrutinizing gaze suddenly paused. She looked at the girl, and there was no trace of possession of the girl's body.

But the old guy is not here...

Suddenly her eyes fell on Keqing's sword, and she felt a hint of Nascent Soul's aura from it.

The corner of his eye twitched slightly. Could it be that he was really killed?

The speculation in her mind made Song Yan at a loss for a moment. The atmosphere was silent for a while, and when Guangheng laughed, he also felt the unusual silence and then stopped.

He looked at Song Yan who was staring at the girl, and then looked at the silent girl.

No...it wasn't what he imagined.

"No way... am I right?"

At this point, Keqing had no intention of hiding anything, she nodded.

As expected, she was greeted with two shocked gazes as if they were looking at a rare animal, which made Keqing feel a little uncomfortable.

She didn't say it just now because she didn't know how to explain it for the moment, but since the two of them were willing to help her, there was nothing wrong with telling the truth.

The man from the Yan family was so talented and brilliant that he seemed to want to kill herself, but there were always people watching her and helping her. Things have a bad side and a good side. This was a wake-up call for her, and also a determination.

It was because of this persistence that she survived, and the other party died, died on her sword. Keqing did not regret killing someone who wanted to kill her, but what worried her was that the so-called Yan family would have subsequent troubles.

"I, I heard you right! My friend, I remember that you haven't formed a golden elixir yet. Even if your strength is comparable to that of a golden elixir cultivator, but... to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator..."

This is unbelievable and unheard of.

He had only heard that a thousand years ago, a genius killed a Yuanying cultivator with the strength of Jindan Daquan, but that person was at Jindan Daquan! What kind of strength did the girl have? She hadn't even reached the Jindan stage, not to mention that he remembered that the other party seemed to have a fairy weapon in his hand.

Could it be that the other party is really a different cultivator? Not a thunder spirit root? But even if that is the case, it is impossible. Although the different cultivators have different ways of cultivation, they also have to take the step of forming a pill, but the methods are different and the names are different. Sword cultivators are called sword hearts, pill cultivators are called pill essence, and instrument cultivators are called heart embryos, etc.

To be honest, Guangheng was really surprised. Not only him, but even Song Yan paused for a rare moment.

Could it be that the person in front of me is more powerful than the Holy Son of the Immortal Sect?

Looking at the two people's surprised eyes, Keqing felt a little embarrassed.

"It was just a coincidence..."

Seeing the two people's extremely curious expressions, Keqing briefly explained how she killed each other, but some details were ignored, such as how she intercepted the Three Purities Golden Thunder, and why the Huiguang Sword could pierce the opponent's protective aura, etc.

Of course, she did describe the strange behavior of the Huiguang Sword and did not hide anything.

To be honest, she didn't think there was any need to hide it. The two Yuanying masters had lived for so long and must know a lot. They might be able to see the origin of the sword or its hidden dangers.

As for killing people and stealing treasures, that is definitely impossible. Keqing believes in Wanran and her master. As for the character of this man from the Immortal Alliance, it has been seen from the competition so far that he is not a person of that kind.

What's more, the Huiguang Sword cannot be taken away. After all, it was this guy who possessed it in the first place. The contract of recognition of the master is of no use to this sword.

"Three Pure Golden Thunders, my friend actually has this kind of ability!?"

Guangheng blinked.

"I wonder if you still have any left. Let me take a look."

"Yes, there is... but I can't control it."

After all, he had saved a lot in order to save his life, and now it is still making trouble in the Chen Ge Pot.

It did add some liveliness to the quiet pot, but it made the little coal ball miserable. It was terrified that the thunder would accidentally strike it.

"Don't worry, little friend, it's okay."

Guang Henghe didn't say anything, and Keqing didn't disbelieve it either. She immediately took out a small ball of Three Purities golden thunder from the Chen Ge pot. As soon as the small and violent golden thunder came out, it began to vent its own thunder power with its fangs and claws.

Guangheng reached out and grabbed it.

"hiss--"

A tingling sensation came over him, and he pinched and shook it with interest, just like kneading dough. The small golden thunder could not escape from the palm of his hand at all.

He was indeed a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse, extremely powerful. Thinking about it this way, it was just a coincidence that I was able to kill that old man, and luck also played a part.

"Okay, I'll give it back to you, little friend."

After handing the golden thunder to Keqing and watching her disappear into nowhere in a flash, Guangheng's eyes became even more interested. She was indeed the person that guy had his eyes on, full of surprises.

Unlike Master Guangheng, Song Yan was concerned about the sword that the girl said could absorb spiritual energy.

"Can I see your sword?"

"can."

Keqing paused, took off the Huiguang Sword and handed it to Song Yan.

Song Yan took the sword and looked at it carefully, but she didn't feel anything special about it. At most, it looked quite delicate and sharp.

Without thinking, she slashed her arm with the sword.

"senior!"

Keqing wanted to stop him, but the opponent was too fast.

A tiny trace of blood flowed out from the skin, but it healed quickly and did not have the devouring power that Keqing worried about.

“Well, this sword doesn’t look unusual, but it is indeed very sharp and can actually break my skin.

"

"Indeed, from what I have seen, this sword is probably a spiritual weapon. I just don't know why it looks so ordinary. It doesn't have any spiritual aura that a spiritual weapon should have. No wonder this sword can kill him."

Song Yan returned the sword to Keqing.

"But I didn't feel the Devouring Spirit Weapon. Maybe there are special conditions. Anyway, if it's really as you said, then this sword must have an extraordinary origin. Such an existence is also coveted by others. You must keep it carefully in the future, and it's best not to show its specialness to outsiders."

"I see!"

Keqing nodded.

"Then, the storage ring..."

Keqing suddenly thought of something and took out a ring, which was the old man's relic and also a trophy.

"Since he killed you, it is only natural that you killed him to protect yourself. This thing should belong to you."

"In that case, I'll accept it."

Keqing was not polite and took the ring.

Guangheng suddenly thought of something and handed a black token to Keqing.

"This is for you. This is the token of the Immortal Alliance."

"The Immortal Alliance's token..."

Keqing blinked.

"Yes, with this token, you will get discounts when you go to the various immortal alliances' garrison markets. You can also use the token to enter the various secret realms belonging to the immortal alliances, and even ask them to help you do things."

Hearing Guangheng say this, Keqing quickly pushed it over.

"No, I can't accept something this valuable..."

However, Guangheng did not take it, but said.

"How can I take back something I've given away? Don't worry, my friend. This token is specially given to a genius like you. Just think of it as an investment. Once someone like you grows up, you will definitely achieve a lot. It's just a token. What's so valuable about it? You may get something more valuable in the future, and that's because you deserve it. Are you going to refuse it one by one?"

After hearing Guangheng say this, Keqing hesitated for a moment and did not refuse.

"Thank you very much. In that case, I will accept it."

"Haha, that's great! My friend, I look forward to your future."

Guangheng nodded, looking relieved.

Song Yan, who was standing aside, looked at the old man next to her and wondered whether she should give him something as well. But when she thought about how her precious disciple had been deceived by this guy, it would be too much of a loss if she gave her anything now.

I was a little confused for a moment.

However, Song Yan still thought about it seriously and suddenly asked.

"Are you a swordsman?"

"Sword cultivator? I'm not..."

Keqing shook her head, while Guangheng on the side was surprised.

"Although sword cultivation is a different kind of cultivation, spiritual cultivation can also be practiced. Sword cultivation has strong combat power and is quite powerful, far surpassing your peers. I see that your sword skills are superb, even close to the Tao, so you should have the potential to be a sword cultivator. Why don't you practice sword cultivation? If you practice spiritual cultivation, you may not get any results, but it will definitely be different for you, my friend."

Faced with Guangheng's doubts, Keqing thought for a moment and then asked.

"What do you think sword cultivation is, seniors?"

"what?"

After hearing Keqing's words, they were both a little confused, and then they saw Keqing explain.

"I have read in classics that it is said that sword cultivators need to choose a sword as their lifeblood. The sword is alive, the person is injured. The sword is gone, and the person is injured. Only when the person and the sword become one can they reach the highest level of sword cultivation. Is that true..."

"That's true. Almost all sword cultivators are like this. This can be considered their shortcoming. They can only use one sword in their lifetime. However, not many sword cultivators will look for materials to improve the quality of their life magic weapon during their growth. Are you worried about this, my friend?"

Guangheng looked at Keqing and pointed at her echoing sword.

"My friend, your sword has an extraordinary origin. I think you don't have to worry about that. You don't have to worry about your practice regressing due to problems with the sword."

"No…that's not what I meant."

Keqing shook her head.

"Why, what are you worried about, little friend?"

“…Well, it’s not a concern, but a difference of philosophy.”

"idea?"

Seeing Song Yan's confusion, Keqing began to explain.

"In my opinion, a sword is a sword, just a weapon, and a person is a person, a life."

Keqing spoke slowly and expressed her own ideas.

"Man is not a sword, and the sword is not a man. In my opinion, life is free and should be controlled by oneself, while power is self-innovation, not relying on external forces. Both of these should be in one's own hands, not handed over to others, even if it is a sword that should be used as a weapon."

"I didn't expect you to think this way. It's refreshing..."

Guangheng's eyes lit up, these words seemed to make sense. Yes, practicing Buddhism is against the will of heaven, but pinning everything on a sword, isn't that ridiculous.

"Well... just a humble opinion."

"So, the unity of man and sword may be too far-fetched for me. I only know that as a swordsman, I can maximize the power of the weapon in my hand, but I don't need to do anything too superfluous."
