Chapter 35: Entry into the Heavenly Sword Sect
"I hope to draw an opponent of equal strength." Shangguan Jiannan said in a low voice.
"Come on! No matter who your opponent is, just stay calm." Shishi cheered for him outside the court.
Shangguan Jiannan drew an opponent named Liu Feng, who was equally strong and both were at the beginner stage. As the whistle on the fighting stage sounded, the battle began.
Liu Feng smiled slightly, "Boy, judging from your appearance, I only need one move to end the battle."
"Then let's give it a try!" Shangguan Jiannan responded, secretly encouraging himself.
The two quickly entered into a fighting state. Liu Feng's attack came like a violent storm. Shangguan Jiannan calmed down and responded flexibly. After a fierce battle, Shangguan Jiannan gradually found the opponent's rhythm and used flexible body movements and skills to fight back.
The atmosphere of the battle became increasingly tense, and in the end, Shangguan Jiannan caught Liu Feng's weakness in one move and successfully defeated him. The audience cheered.
"Good, excellent performance!" The elder judge nodded with satisfaction.
After a series of intense tests, Shangguan Jiannan successfully passed all the tests. He walked out of the examination room with other candidates, with a triumphant smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Jiannan!" Shishi cheered, "You succeeded!"
"Thank you, Shishi." Shangguan Jiannan said with relief, "It's great that I was able to pass it smoothly."
"From now on, you are a disciple of the Tianjian Sect." Shishi smiled slightly, "I believe you will be able to develop very well here."
"Yes, I will try my best." Shangguan Jiannan's eyes were firm.
After Li Shishi left Tianjian Sect, she was quite busy in Huyi City. She used the winnings from horse racing to open a restaurant in Huyi City. The name of the restaurant was "Jinxiulou", which means prosperity.
"Shishi, the decoration of this restaurant is really unique and the atmosphere is elegant." A businessman friend couldn't help but admire the layout of the restaurant.
"Thank you for the compliment." Li Shishi responded with a smile, "I hope this restaurant can become a business card of Tiger Wing City and attract more customers."
"Do you have any plans for running the restaurant?" asked the businessman friend.
“I plan to divide the restaurant into several areas, with the main hall for banquets and socializing, and the small hall for receiving VIPs. At the same time, we will also provide unique cuisine and high-quality service,” Li Shishi explained. “I believe that through the creation of these details, we can provide guests with an unforgettable experience.”
"Your plan is very thorough." The businessman friend nodded in agreement, "I hope Jinxiu Building will be a success."
After several months of preparation, "Jinxiulou" was finally officially opened. On the opening day, Li Shishi greeted guests at the door of the restaurant with a sincere smile on her face.
"Welcome to Jinxiulou!" Li Shishi warmly greeted every guest who arrived. "Please come in, please come in. We have prepared sumptuous food and high-quality service for you."
The restaurant is decorated gorgeously and brightly lit. There are a wide variety of delicious foods, attracting many diners to taste them. Li Shishi personally went to each table and asked the guests about their dining experience with concern, striving to make every customer feel at home.
"The dishes in this restaurant are really unique!" a diner exclaimed, "I have never tasted such delicious food before."
"Thank you for the compliment. Our chefs have prepared these dishes very carefully." Li Shishi responded with a smile, "I hope everyone can have a good time here."
As time went by, Jinxiulou's business became better and better, and it became one of the most popular restaurants in Huyi City.
While running the restaurant, Li Shishi is also constantly thinking about future plans. She hopes to further expand the Jinxiu Restaurant brand and even open branches in other cities.
"I want to expand the influence of Jinxiulou to the entire Tianqi Dynasty." Li Shishi is full of confidence in her business plan, "This will not only allow more people to enjoy our food, but also enhance our brand value."
She began to prepare expansion plans, research market demand, and look for suitable locations and partners. Her goal was not only to successfully run a restaurant, but also to build a larger business empire through these efforts.
Shangguan Jiannan successfully passed the entrance examination of Qingyun Sect and officially became a disciple of the sect. With the newly issued identity of a sect disciple, he stepped into the cultivation area of Qingyun Sect. Qingyun Sect is famous for its vast spiritual fields and quiet mountains and forests. The environment of the sect is beautiful, and there is a strong atmosphere of cultivation everywhere.
"Jiannan, welcome to Qingyun Sect!" The elders of Qingyun Sect welcomed the new disciples in the sect square. They had friendly smiles on their faces, showing their concern and expectations for the new disciples.
"Thank you!" Shangguan Jiannan bowed respectfully, his heart full of anticipation for the upcoming training.
A senior brother named Lu Ming walked up to Shangguan Jiannan and said, "You are Shangguan Jiannan, right? I will take you to arrange accommodation and introduce you to some of the sect's rules."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu!" Shangguan Jiannan said with a smile.
Lu Ming led Shangguan Jiannan through the winding mountain road and finally arrived at an elegant courtyard surrounded by green trees and pleasant scenery.
"This is your residence. It has rich spiritual energy and is suitable for cultivation. There are many cultivation facilities in the sect, and you can use them at any time." Lu Ming said, "In addition, you must pay attention to the rules of the sect. If you encounter any problems, you can come to us at any time."
"I understand." Shangguan Jiannan felt grateful, "Thank you, Senior Brother Lu."
"It's okay. We are all cultivators, and we should help each other." Lu Ming smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. If you need anything, feel free to come to me.
Arriving at the courtyard, I looked around the surrounding environment. The culture of the Tianjian Sect is deeply rooted in swordsmanship. Every corner of the sect exudes a strong sword spirit.
As one of the ten major sects of the Apocalypse Dynasty, it is famous for its swordsmanship. Its leader was once a master of the swordsmanship, and according to legend, he wielded an extremely powerful heavenly sword. The Heavenly Sword Sect has a long history, and the swordsmanship inherited by the sect is almost invincible. It is one of the most prestigious sects among sword cultivators.
Disciples must not only continuously improve their swordsmanship during practice, but also maintain the demeanor of kendo in their daily lives.
Whether in sword fighting or in daily communication, the spirit and principles of swordsmanship are an important part of the sect culture.
The unique skills inherited by the sect, including "Heavenly Sword Art" and "Nine Heavens of Sword Dao", are all required skills for sword practitioners to improve their swordsmanship. In particular, "Heavenly Sword Art" is considered to be the pinnacle of swordsmanship and can trigger the power of the Heavenly Sword.
There is a towering Sword Mountain in the sect, with ancient sword marks all over the top. It is a holy place for the sword cultivators of all generations to practice and exchange ideas. The spiritual energy around Sword Mountain is rich, which is of great help to sword cultivators.
Jian Lake is surrounded by clouds and mist, and the water is clear and transparent. It is said that the lake contains some kind of mysterious sword energy that can enhance the sword intent and sword power of sword practitioners.
"Hehe, let's go inside early tomorrow morning to see if there are any opportunities to make a lot of money in the sect." After getting a general understanding of the situation of the Tianjian Sect, Shangguan Jiannan prepared to go to the Tianjian Sect to look around and see if there were any opportunities to make a lot of money.
