Chapter 8: The beautiful girl actually wants to take me as her apprentice?
I slipped out of the cave and came to a deep pool.
There is a pile of rubble around the deep pool, and sword marks can be seen everywhere, indicating that this place has experienced many battles.
I skillfully took out a pile of offal from the bag and threw it into the deep pool. Soon, several cods came around and gnawed at the offal.
I immediately squatted on the tree trunk and hid myself, holding the cold dagger tightly in my hand, staring at the cods.
Suddenly a cod flew out of the water, followed by an invisible sword energy hitting the cod, and then a head popped out of the water to take a look, and then pounced directly on the cod in the air.
I covered my feet with spiritual energy, seized the right moment, and launched myself into the air. The cold dagger pointed directly at the belly of the winged swordfish.
The swordfish dodged desperately, and although it avoided the vital points, one of its wings was cut off, and it fell to the ground.
The cod, which was not yet completely dead, fell back into the deep pool and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The Winged Swordfish stared at Lin Yixuan intently, then attacked with sword energy from its back.
I skillfully dodged the sword attack of the Winged Swordfish, kept circling, and slowly approached.
He seized the opportunity and stabbed the dagger in his hand into the body of the swordfish, then immediately chopped off its head.
Looking at the winged swordfish that was deader than dead, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
(Huh, I finally got it. Looks like I can have a good meal today!)
It was evening when I returned to the cave with a cleaned winged swordfish in my hands.
'The Winged Swordfish has two wings on its back, can fly, and can fire from its back, similar to sword energy attacks. It is a third-level primary spirit beast, with plump meat, and is a rare and good ingredient. However, it is extremely ferocious and cunning, and it is difficult for several foundation-building stage warriors to hunt it together.'
The woman looked at the swordfish in the guy's hand in shock, and then looked at the guy carefully.
(No matter how you look at it, he is in the Qi Refining Stage, not the Foundation Establishment Stage yet! It is rare to find a Winged Swordfish, but this guy actually hunted it. This is the first time I see a Qi Refining Stage person hunting a Winged Swordfish alone. Could it be that this guy is hiding his cultivation level?)
"What kind of fish is this? Why does it look a bit like a winged swordfish?"
The woman asked.
"Yes, it's the one you were thinking of. It took me a lot of effort to get it. I'm awesome, right?"
As I spoke, I raised the swordfish in my hand and then put it on the fire to roast.
"Why did you grill it like this? You completely wasted the value of this swordfish. All its essence was lost."
The woman urged in an urgent manner.
"But the fish grilled like this tastes delicious!" I answered seriously.
"You~I... forget it,"
The woman thought about it, and it seemed that she really had no reason to stop the other party from doing so. She pursed her lips and asked.
"Hey, you're hiding your skills, right?"
"First of all, my name is not Hello, my name is Lin Yixuan. Secondly, I am what you see me to be."
I introduced myself impatiently.
"Hello, Fellow Daoist Lin. My name is Gu Qinglan, and I am an elder of the Qionghua Immortal Sect!"
Woman introducing herself
"Since you are so kind, you can have a portion of the grilled fish!"
Gu Qinglan's mouth twitched.
(It turns out that this guy didn't originally plan to keep a copy for himself.)
After eating and drinking enough.
"How is it? It tastes good!"
As I said this, I took out a pill from my arms and swallowed it.
“Not bad~”
Gu Qinglan was stunned for a moment when she saw my action, then asked
"Whatever pill you took, give me one too."
"It's just a normal pill for strengthening the body. Oh, it's the last one! If you want it, I'll go out and pick some herbs, and then make some..."
Before he could finish his words, a sword was placed at his neck.
"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I will kill you with one sword!" Gu Qinglan said coldly.
Then he hesitated for a moment and put away the sword.
I put away my sword and immediately distanced myself from him.
"Don't go too far. I saved you out of kindness and shared delicious food with you, but you actually want to repay my kindness with hatred!"
After I said that, I ran out quickly.
A few days later, Gu Qinglan walked out of the cave and saw Lin Yixuan lying on a tree to rest.
At this time, she had already put on a veil and shouted at Lin Yixuan.
"Hey! Who is that!"
"I've already told you, my name isn't Hey, I have a name, my name is Lin Yixuan!"
I said impatiently.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I was reckless some time ago. I was also forced to do so. I am really sorry! My master once told me that the world is dangerous and I should not trust others easily! I hope I have offended you. By the way, I wonder who is Fellow Daoist Lin's master?"
Gu Qinglan explained and asked.
"Forget it! I don't want to bother with you! I'm from Yan State, Jinxiu Mountain."
(The key is to be calculative, and you can’t beat others!)
I replied.
Gu Qinglan nodded.
(I haven't heard of it. It should be a small and unknown sect.)
"I think you have good aptitude, but why are you only at the Qi training stage? I guess your sect is in financial difficulty and doesn't have any good cultivation techniques or secret manuals. Why don't you join my sect? My sect is one of the best in Ji Country, and we have top-notch cultivation techniques and resources. I'm sure we can help you. Of course, you can also consider becoming my apprentice!"
"No, I'm fine like this."
(What, you want to take me as your apprentice? I think killing people to silence them seems to be the real deal) I complained in my heart.
"Well, do you have any wishes or anything, or if there is anything you want, let me take a look, and if I can help, I will help you!"
Gu Qinglan continued to ask.
"Yes, I want a divine weapon."
I said sincerely.
"No "
Gu Qinglan said unhappily.
"Don't you have a divine weapon? Well, an immortal weapon is also acceptable."
I said after careful consideration.
"No~!"
Gu Qinglan became a little impatient.
"You don't have any divine or immortal weapons? Then holy elixirs will do?"
I continued to tease.
"If you want to make a wish, go to the Trevi Fountain!"
Gu Qinglan said angrily.
"Then give me some skills and secrets, preferably ones that can improve your physical skills, and ones that are more powerful. Hmm~ Sword control is also OK."
I said as a second choice.
Gu Qinglan thought about it seriously, took out two secret books from the ring and threw them to me, one of which was "Cloud Shadow Step" and the other was "Great Sword Control Technique (Incomplete)".
"Although this 'Cloud Shadow Step' is a unique body movement technique of our sect, many people know it, so it's okay to pass it on to you. I do have a powerful secret book, but you are not from my sect, so I can't pass it on to you. And this 'Great Sword Controlling Technique (Incomplete)' was obtained from a secret realm. Although it is incomplete, its current grade is at least Xuan grade. If it can be put together in its entirety, it will at least be Earth grade. I'll just consider it as a way of repaying you for saving my life. We are even now!"
I was about to ask something, but was stopped by Gu Qinglan.
"I know what you want to ask. My master said that one must repay the favor of saving one's life. I gave you the choice. You could join my sect, or even become my disciple. It was you who didn't want to. I asked you to make conditions, but it was you who asked for the secret book! Master also said that we should not be involved in too many causes and effects when we go out this time, so we should make a break now that we are even! I'm leaving now. See you again if we're lucky!"
Gu Qinglan said this as he flew up on his sword and disappeared.
I looked at the two secret books in my hands, 'Cloud Shadow Step' and 'Great Sword Control Technique'.
(Hmm~ How should I put it? I always feel like I've lost a lot. Forget it, the two secret books are also what I need right now. It's a good gain! Jiguo's 'Qionghua Xianzong', Gu Qinglan, hmm~ are quite interesting! )
