Chapter 99: Master Canxia (A 5,000-character chapter)

The white chicken and jade rabbit necks intertwined, chirping softly in the air.

Cheng Xinzhan watched, dumbfounded, while Zhou Qingyun stared blankly, her face flushed red.

Meanwhile, Daoist Jianxian, clutching a thunder talisman, was at a loss for what to do.

"Who is causing a disturbance?"

A woman's voice descended from the high peak. Immediately, the rosy clouds covering the mountain transformed into a giant hand, grabbing the three people and two swords, and lifting them onto the summit.

The pine forest on the peak was not large, consisting of only a hundred or so trees, but each one was twisted like a coiling dragon, and every pine needle shimmered with a green light.

In the forest, there was only a small wooden hut. Opposite the hut lay an ancient pine tree as thick as a water vat, and upon its trunk sat a Daoist nun, legs crossed.

This Daoist nun wore a cinnabar crane rosy-cloud robe and a heavy mountain crown. She appeared to be around forty years old. At this moment, her eyes were slightly closed, and she held a green-feathered magic fan in her hand, waving it slowly. Her temperament was graceful and elegant.

The three people and two swords tumbled to the ground.

"Master!"

The woman recognized at a glance where she was—it was the place she dreamed of day and night, and the person before her was the one she thought of constantly. Sitting on the ground, Zhou Qingyun's cry was filled with endless longing.

The Daoist nun snapped her eyes open and saw Zhou Qingyun instantly.

"Yun'er!"

Zhou Qingyun's tears fell like rain as she kowtowed repeatedly.

Daoist Jianxian and Cheng Xinzhan only saw a flash of rosy light on the tree, and then the person vanished, appearing immediately before Zhou Qingyun to help her up.

"It really is you, Yun'er!"

The Daoist nun's voice trembled slightly.

Daoist Jianxian and Cheng Xinzhan stood up as well. Daoist Jianxian was somewhat surprised; based on this move alone, he could conclude that she was at least at the Fourth Purification of the Third Realm, and the Fourth Realm was not impossible. In any case, he had no power to resist, and he realized that Mount Huangshan truly hid crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

Once her emotions stabilized, the Daoist nun looked toward the two men.

Daoist Jianxian still performed a salute with the Three Pure Ones hand seal and gave the same explanation: "Tao Jianxian of Mount Sanqing, accompanied by my disciple Cheng Xinzhan, pays respects to you, Daoist. May you have immeasurable longevity. We trespassed on your precious grounds by mistake, and we ask for your forgiveness."

The Daoist nun was somewhat surprised and returned the salute: "So you are fellow Daoists from Mount Sanqing. I was the one who was rude just now; please do not take offense."

Jianxian said it was no matter, then looked at Zhou Qingyun: "I wonder if there was some misunderstanding just now? Why did you suddenly...?"

Zhou Qingyun, her eyes and face red, watched as "Moon Soul" transformed back into a sword shape and hid behind her. She shook her head: "I do not know why 'Moon Soul'..."

At this point, she seemed to remember something and looked at the other sword hiding behind Cheng Xinzhan, then suddenly stared at Cheng Xinzhan's face.

"'Peach Capital' sword! Are you the one who snatched Li Yingqiong's flying sword?!"

Cheng Xinzhan raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Is that what she told you?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Zhou Qingyun felt it was inappropriate. How could someone so upright, who could recite poetry and discuss scenery, do something like stealing someone else's treasure?

"There must be some misunderstanding."

She immediately added.

Daoist Jianxian felt that these people were speaking in riddles, and he couldn't understand a word of it after listening for so long. Furthermore, he and his disciple were just passing through, yet they had been interrogated, captured, and now slandered. Feeling displeased, he spoke bluntly:

"This fellow Daoist, perhaps you should make yourself clear. We at Mount Sanqing have our own rules; we act upright and sit straight wherever we go."

Zhou Qingyun felt anxious upon hearing this, realizing she had been rude, and prepared to explain.

"Fellow Daoists, please forgive me. I see that we are all people of destiny; why not sit down and talk?"

At this moment, the Daoist nun spoke. With a flick of her large sleeves, a stone table and chairs appeared on the ground, with four cups of steaming tea on the table.

"You two Daoists have come at a good time. This is the 'Before-Clear' tea I made just this year. One cannot visit Mount Huangshan without tasting the Mao Feng. Please."

A great cultivator offered tea, so naturally, there was no reason for them to refuse. They took their seats.

"Taste the tea first, then talk."

The Daoist nun added.

The two picked up their tea cups. Cheng Xinzhan looked down and saw the mist crowning the cup, the soup a clear yellow-green, the tea leaves bright, and the fragrance like orchids.

He took a sip. The tea was fragrant and refreshing, the taste mellow and sweet. Especially after it went down his throat, it transformed directly into a surge of majestic spiritual energy that merged into his meridians, making his whole body feel comfortable.

"Good tea!"

Jianxian and Cheng Xinzhan exclaimed in unison.

Only then did the Daoist nun smile and speak: "I go by the name Canxia. I pay my respects to you two Daoists. This is my disciple, Zhou Qingyun."

Daoist Jianxian's expression changed as he looked at the nun: "I have heard that a 'Mount Huangshan Governance' was established in recent years, making the spiritual atmosphere of the mountains even better than before. It is said that there is a top-tier Fifth Realm figure in the governance, but the initiator is a warm-hearted Fourth Realm Daoist nun known as Master Canxia?"

The Daoist nun just smiled: "I go by Canxia. 'Master' is just praise from others; it cannot be taken seriously."

Jianxian cupped his hands: "Establishing a mountain governance is no easy task and is a great merit. Senior, you are worthy of the title of Master."

Master Canxia waved her hand, but she was smiling happily.

"I wonder why you drew your swords at the foot of the mountain earlier? I only took action when I heard the sound of metal clashing."

Master Canxia asked Zhou Qingyun.

Zhou Qingyun, blushing, placed "Moon Soul" on the table.

"Moon Soul" had a blue blade and a white hilt, shaped like an ice crystal, and radiated a chill.

Seeing this, Cheng Xinzhan also placed "Peach Capital" on the table.

The two swords began to resonate again.

"It was not that we drew our swords to fight; the flying swords have spirits and came out of their sheaths to recognize each other, resonating when they met. We were also caught off guard."

"Before Master Changmei of Shushan ascended, he personally forged seven flying swords—three Yang and four Yin. Among them, 'Peach Capital' is the head of the Yang, and 'Moon Soul' is the head of the Yin. The two swords embody the true forms of the sun and moon, the white chicken and the jade rabbit. They are... they are a pair of male and female swords."

Saying the last few words, Zhou Qingyun's voice was like a mosquito's, and her face was as red as if it were dripping blood.

She didn't know what was going on. When she learned that "Peach Capital" and "Moon Soul" were a male-female pair, she was particularly glad that the Yang sword had been taken by Li Yingqiong. Otherwise, if it had been taken by those three men, it would surely have caused gossip.

But how did it end up in a man's hands after all?

"When Master Miaoyi passed down the seven swords, I obtained 'Moon Soul,' and 'Peach Capital' was obtained by Li Yingqiong. But later, I heard it was snatched by someone outside the mountain and its whereabouts were unknown..."

At this point, Cheng Xinzhan took over: "Fellow Daoist Qingyun, you also said the flying swords have spirits. Do you think that if 'Peach Capital' wanted to recognize Li Yingqiong as its master, it could be forcibly snatched by someone of my realm?"

Zhou Qingyun shook her head upon hearing this. "Peach Capital" was personally bestowed upon Yingqiong by Master Miaoyi. If it didn't submit to Yingqiong under those circumstances, it shows its pickiness and spirituality. It wouldn't be easily snatched; it must have met someone whose Dao intent was highly compatible and chose its master itself.

"I do not wish to explain the ins and outs too much. It was not stolen or snatched; I have a clear conscience about obtaining the sword. On the contrary, that Li Yingqiong is addicted to killing, and her baleful aura is sky-high. If 'Peach Capital' had followed her, the spirit sword would have eventually become a baleful sword!"

Cheng Xinzhan said decisively.

Hearing these words, even though they were from the same sect, Zhou Qingyun recalled Li Yingqiong's temperament and nodded imperceptibly.

Master Canxia roughly understood what was going on. Since there was no conflict, she asked again:

"Then Qingyun, how did you meet these fellow Daoists from Mount Sanqing?"

"Disciple was returning to the mountain today and happened to meet these two Daoists who were touring here. I heard this fellow Daoist Xinzhan reciting poetry and praising the scenery, so I appeared to meet them, which caused the two swords to resonate."

"Oh?"

Master Canxia looked at Cheng Xinzhan.

Zhou Qingyun looked at Cheng Xinzhan and said,

"Fellow Daoist Xinzhan even said our Pen-Writing Peak is the scenery of 'Dream Pen Producing Flowers'!"

Seeing that Cheng Xinzhan showed no displeasure, she quickly recited Cheng Xinzhan's description of "Dream Pen Producing Flowers" and the poem.

"Hahaha~"

Master Canxia laughed heartily. "Good poem, good lines, little friend has great talent."

Cheng Xinzhan cupped his hands: "Master, you overpraise me. The poem is a mortal poem, but the scenery is truly immortal."

Hearing this, Master Canxia laughed even more heartily, and her gaze toward Cheng Xinzhan grew increasingly satisfied.

Her gaze lingered on the two flying swords on the table, and after pondering for a moment, she said,

"My Pen-Writing Peak has been praised by your poem, but I cannot let you praise it in vain. I happen to have a method for controlling flying swords here, so I will use it to thank you, little friend." As she spoke, she took out a jade slip and handed it to Cheng Xinzhan. On it was engraved:

"Iron Crutch Li's Discourse on the Departing Fire Rapid Sword Scripture."

Cheng Xinzhan's heart shook. An immortal's legacy?

He quickly cupped his hands: "It was just a casual remark inspired by the moment; how could I be worthy of such a heavy gift? I ask that you do not embarrass this junior, Master."

Master Canxia smiled upon hearing this: "Reciting poetry is a casual remark for you, and gifting a scripture is a casual act for me. Why distinguish between heavy and light?"

Daoist Jianxian, listening from the side, felt his eyebrows twitch. What exactly was the background of this Master Canxia?

But these words fell into Cheng Xinzhan's ears, and he found them very reasonable. Yes, could it be that my poem was not worth as much as this sword scripture? He prided himself on being carefree, but at this moment, he felt he was not as carefree as the Master, and he had fallen into a lower tier.

So he accepted the sword scripture and said, "Master, I have learned much."

Master Canxia's smile deepened.

"One task should not trouble two masters. Would you mind carving the four characters 'Dream Pen Producing Flowers' on the southern cliff of this Pen-Writing Peak for me, Xinzhan? In the future, my Pen-Writing Peak can be said to have a cliff stone carving."

Cheng Xinzhan naturally agreed. With a thought, "Peach Capital" flew outside the peak, the sword moving like a dragon or snake, stone skin falling in rustles. It carved the four large characters in the cloud-clerical script:

Dream Pen Producing Flowers.

For a time, both host and guest were delighted.

At this time, Master Canxia asked again, seemingly casually: "You two came across regions from Mount Sanqing; are you here specifically to admire the rain on the mountain?"

Daoist Jianxian pondered for a moment. This Master Canxia was the initiator of the Mount Huangshan Governance, so she must be a person of intent. She had rosy light and an immortal inheritance, so she must be a person of the righteous path. Seeing that she had a significant background, perhaps he could borrow her strength to investigate the mountain roots here. After thinking, he said:

"Master, we practice thunder arts. Some time ago, my disciple checked the number of spring thunders over the years and found that the spring thunders in February in the Qingzhou region have been decreasing year by year. This is a sign of yin evil breeding and infecting the earth veins, so we came specifically to investigate. Since Mount Huangshan is the source of the Qingzhou mountain roots, we came here to find clues."

Master Canxia was startled upon hearing this and stood up directly.

The remaining three people stood up as well.

Realizing she had lost her composure, Master Canxia forced a smile, let everyone sit down, and drank the tea in front of her in one gulp. Zhou Qingyun had never seen her master drink tea like this.

"Could you please explain in detail, fellow Daoist?"

Jianxian looked at Cheng Xinzhan: "Xinzhan, you organized it; you tell her."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded and detailed the count of February spring thunders in various parts of Qingzhou over the past ten years.

Master Canxia's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. After listening, she sighed: "I have been busy preparing for the mountain governance, but in the end, I have only been limited to this one mountain. I had no idea about such a major event as the lack of spring thunder in the Qingzhou region!"

Daoist Jianxian said: "Master, do not be sad; it is just that different arts have different specializations."

Master Canxia nodded and asked again: "Then, fellow Daoist and Xinzhan, have you discovered anything?"

Jianxian shook his head: "We are also new here and have not discovered anything. Master, you have lived on Mount Huangshan for a long time; do you know any wonderful methods to investigate the earth veins?"

Master Canxia furrowed her brows tightly. She practiced the Dao of Rosy Clouds and really did not know how to investigate earth veins. 【106】 "No matter, no matter, we will just look some more." 【107】 Jianxian saw that Master Canxia did not seem to have any better methods, so he spoke. 【108】 Master Canxia said again: "I can look with you, or I can inform the mountain governance and notify the scattered Daoist friends in the mountains to search together." 【109】 "Not appropriate!" 【110】 Jianxian and Cheng Xinzhan said simultaneously. 【111】 "If this yin evil thing were naturally born, it would be fine, but if it is something someone did on purpose, whether it is you searching the mountain source with your Fourth Realm cultivation or the group of cultivators moving together, such a big commotion would easily startle the snake if seen by someone with ulterior motives." 【112】 Jianxian explained. 【113】 Master Canxia nodded upon hearing this: "Reasonable, I was too anxious. Then, Qingyun, you go with the Daoists from Mount Sanqing to search. If you go deep or trespass into the cave dwelling of some scattered Daoist friend, you explain a little and say that these two are guests I invited to tour the mountain." 【114】 Zhou Qingyun immediately agreed. 【115】 Jianxian and Cheng Xinzhan looked at each other and also said it was good. They had just trespassed on Pen-Writing Peak, but Master Canxia was easy to talk to. If they had met someone unreasonable, it would have been a troublesome matter. 【116】 "You two Daoists, please wait a moment; I have something to tell my disciple." 【117】 Master Canxia said. 【118】 The two naturally said it was fine. 【119】 Master Canxia led Zhou Qingyun away from the stone table to the edge of the cliff in the distance, the green pines separating the two pairs of masters and disciples. 【120】 Master Canxia looked at the rain and mist in the distance, stood with her hands behind her back, and said softly, 【121】 "Qingyun, you are not practicing at Emei; why have you returned?" 【122】 Zhou Qingyun knelt upon hearing this and wept: "Master, disciple does not want to practice at Emei; disciple only wants to serve Master at Pen-Writing Peak!" 【123】 Hearing this, Master Canxia's apricot eyes contained baleful intent. 【124】 "Why, is Emei not good? Does Master Miaoyi not treat you well?" 【125】 Zhou Qingyun shook her head gently, on the verge of tears: "Emei is good, but it cannot compare to Mount Huangshan. Master Miaoyi has not treated me poorly, but it cannot compare to Master. Master, do you know..." 【126】 Master Canxia nodded and interrupted her: "I know." 【127】 She looked up blankly at her master. 【128】 "From the moment I sent you to Emei, I knew you would become Master Miaoyi's disciple. Today, with outsiders present, you should not call me Master, and I should not call you disciple, but you forgot, and I forgot. However, those two from Mount Sanqing are gentlemen; even if they find out later, they should not gossip." 【129】 Master Canxia said leisurely. 【130】 "But Master, at the time, didn't you say you only let me go to learn the Dharma? You didn't say it was to join another sect. Did you not want your disciple long ago..." 【131】 Zhou Qingyun choked with sobs. 【132】 Master Canxia felt a pain in her heart and smiled bitterly: "Silly child, where in the world is there learning without a price! What do you think Mount Emei is! If I hadn't deceived you at the time, how would you have been willing to stay at Emei?" 【133】 "But I don't want to learn Emei's Dharma!" 【134】 Zhou Qingyun finally couldn't suppress it, hugged Master Canxia's leg, and cried out loud. 【135】 Master Canxia squatted down, touched her disciple's black hair, and said bitterly: "Silly child, your master walked here step by step as a scattered cultivator. Although I was lucky enough to obtain the inheritance of the Eight Immortals and made a name for myself in this red dust, scattered cultivators are always duckweed! There is no one in heaven, and becoming an immortal is so difficult! How could I be willing to let you walk your master's old path again! 【136】 "That day, Master Miaoyi suddenly came to the door and said you were the person to revitalize Emei and had the posture of a heavenly immortal, persuading me to let go, saying he would teach you everything. He is a person about to ascend; why would he come to deceive and tease me? You tell me, how does this make me choose! If you followed me, it would only delay you!" 【137】 At this point, Master Canxia also shed tears. Handing over a disciple she had raised for many years to someone else—how could her heart not be torn to shreds? 【138】 She endured the pain and forced a smile to encourage her disciple: 【139】 "Qingyun, listen to your master. Emei's strength is not only in the mortal world but also in heaven. You practice the Dao at Emei with focus. If you prove your path, you must catch up before your master. By then, whether your master's lifespan is exhausted or I am in my twilight years, you can come to ferry your master. By then, if my lifespan is exhausted, you come to find my reincarnation, and I will have to call you Master!" 【140】 Zhou Qingyun broke into a smile through her tears and nodded. This was very good. As long as she knew it wasn't that her master didn't want her, she had one more reason to be at Emei. 【141】 "Speaking of which, why did you return to Mount Huangshan today?" 【142】 Hearing this, Zhou Qingyun's expression became much more serious. She leaned into Master Canxia's ear, covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered a few words. Master Canxia's expression changed again and again, and finally, she nodded slowly. 【143】 "When you go back, tell Master Miaoyi that your master knows." 【144】 Zhou Qingyun nodded. 【145】 "Then how long can you stay this time? Did Master Miaoyi say?" 【146】 Zhou Qingyun shook her head: "That, he didn't. The Master also told me to stay a while longer to relieve the longing." 【147】 Master Canxia smiled upon hearing this and said 'good' a few times, but immediately changed to a worried expression: "Then you follow the Daoists from Mount Sanqing to check the earth veins these few days. After finding the problem, it won't be too late for us master and disciple to have a heart-to-heart. How could the earth veins of Qingzhou have problems? Sigh, it really is an eventful autumn." 【148】 Zhou Qingyun agreed. 【149】 "Take this. My disciple has also started forging flying swords; how can you not have a sword scripture?" 【150】 Master Canxia handed over a jade slip. Zhou Qingyun looked, and it clearly read: 【151】 "Iron Crutch Li's Discourse on the Kan Water Soft Sword Scripture." 【152】 "Master, this?" 【153】 Master Canxia smiled: 【154】 "This is a pair with the one given to that boy. These sword techniques can be practiced separately, and even better, practiced together. Your two flying swords are Yin and Yang, just right for using this technique to combine the two swords, and the power can be several times higher. However, you don't have to tell him; it won't be too late to say it when you really need to use it in the future. 【155】 "Moreover, the Departing Fire Sword Technique is fierce and unparalleled, as rapid as fire, but it cannot escape the soft potential of Kan Water. If one day he dares to hurt you with this method, you can easily leave his flying sword behind using the Kan Water Sword Technique!" 【156】 The big chapter is served.

"No matter, no matter, we shall just search again."

Seeing that Master Canxia also seemed to have no better plan, Cheng Jianxian opened his mouth to speak.

Master Canxia added, "I can search with you, or I can inform the mountain management, and then notify the loose cultivator Daoist friends of the surrounding mountains to search together."

"That is not appropriate!"

Cheng Jianxian and Cheng Xinzhan said simultaneously.

"If this evil object were naturally born, it would be one thing, but if it is something someone did deliberately, whether you use your Fourth Realm cultivation to search the mountain source, or all the cultivators move together, such a great commotion, if seen by someone with ulterior motives, would easily startle the snake."

Cheng Jianxian explained.

Master Canxia nodded upon hearing this, "Reasonable, I was too impatient. Then, let us do this: Qingyun, you search together with the Daoist friends from Mount Sanqing. If you go deep or accidentally intrude into the cave dwelling of any loose cultivator Daoist friend, you shall explain a little, just say that these two are guests I invited to tour the mountains."

Zhou Qingyun immediately agreed.

Cheng Jianxian and Cheng Xinzhan exchanged a glance and also said it was good; after all, hadn't they just accidentally intruded into Wenbi Peak earlier? It was only because Master Canxia was easy to talk to; if they had encountered someone unreasonable, it would have been a troublesome matter.

"Two Daoist friends, please wait a moment; I have something to tell my disciple."

Master Canxia said.

The two naturally agreed.

Master Canxia led Zhou Qingyun away from the stone table and came to the cliff edge in the distance; a green pine separated the two pairs of master and disciple.

Master Canxia looked at the rain and mist in the distance, stood with her hands behind her back, and said softly,

"Qingyun, you are not cultivating at Emei; what is the reason for your return?"

Zhou Qingyun knelt upon hearing this and wept, "Master, this disciple does not want to cultivate at Emei; this disciple only wants to serve you at Wenbi Peak!"

Hearing this, Master Canxia's almond eyes filled with malice,

"Why, is Emei not good? Does True Person Miaoyi not treat you well?"

Zhou Qingyun shook her head gently, on the verge of tears, "Emei is good, but it cannot compare to Mount Huangshan. True Person Miaoyi has never treated me poorly, but it cannot compare to you, Master. Master, do you know..."

Master Canxia nodded, interrupting her, "I know."

She looked up blankly at her master.

"From the moment I sent you to Emei, I knew you would become a disciple of True Person Miaoyi. Today, with outsiders present, you should not call me Master, and I should not call you disciple, but you forgot, and I forgot too. However, those two from Mount Sanqing are gentlemen; even if they find out later, they should not gossip about right and wrong."

Master Canxia said leisurely.

"But Master, at the time, didn't you say you were only letting me go to learn the Dharma? You didn't say it was to join another sect. Have you long since not wanted this disciple anymore..."

Zhou Qingyun choked with sobs.

Master Canxia felt a pain in her heart and smiled bitterly, "Foolish child, where in the world is there Dharma learned for free! What do you think Mount Emei is! If I hadn't deceived you at the time, how would you have been willing to stay at Emei?"

"But I don't want to learn Emei's Dharma!"

Zhou Qingyun finally could not suppress it, hugged Master Canxia's leg, and cried out loud.

Master Canxia squatted down, touched her disciple's black hair, and said bitterly, "Silly child, your master I walked step by step from being a loose cultivator. Although I luckily obtained the inheritance of the Eight Immortals and made a name for myself in this red dust, loose cultivators are forever like duckweed! There is no one in heaven, and becoming an immortal is how difficult! How could I be willing to let you walk my old path again!"

"That day, True Person Miaoyi suddenly came to the door, saying you were a person who would greatly flourish Emei, had the appearance of a heavenly immortal, and persuaded me to let go, promising he would teach you everything he knew. He is a person on the verge of ascension; why would he bother to deceive and tease me? You tell me, how does this make me choose! If you follow me, it only delays you!"

Speaking to this point, Master Canxia also shed tears; the disciple she had raised for many years was being handed over to others; how could her heart not be torn like a knife?

She endured the heartache, still forcing a smile to encourage her disciple,

"Qingyun, listen to your master; Emei's strength is not only in the mortal world but even more so in heaven. You cultivate the Dao at Emei with focus; if your power is not yet determined, you must catch up before your master. By then, whether my lifespan is exhausted or I am in my twilight years, you can come to ferry me. By then, if my lifespan is exhausted, you come to find my reincarnation; I will even have to call you Master!"

Zhou Qingyun broke into a smile through her tears and nodded; this was very good. As long as she knew it wasn't that her master didn't want her, she had one more reason to be at Emei.

"Speaking of which, why did you return to Mount Huangshan today?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qingyun's expression became much more serious; she leaned into Master Canxia's ear, covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered a few words. Master Canxia's expression changed again and again, and finally, she nodded slowly.

"When you return, tell True Person Miaoyi that your master knows."

Zhou Qingyun nodded.

"Then how long can you stay this time? Did True Person Miaoyi say?"

Zhou Qingyun shook her head, "That he did not; the True Person even let me stay for a longer period to relieve the longing."

Master Canxia smiled upon hearing this and said 'good' several times, but immediately changed to a look of worry, "Then you follow the Daoist friends from Mount Sanqing to check the ley lines these few days. After finding the problem, you and I, master and disciple, can talk properly later. How could the ley lines of Qingzhou have problems? Alas, it is truly an eventful autumn."

Zhou Qingyun agreed.

"Take this; my disciple has also started refining flying swords, so how can she not have a sword scripture?"

Master Canxia handed over a jade slip. Zhou Qingyun looked, and it was clearly written on it:

"Iron Crutch Li's Discussion on the Soft Sword Scripture of Kan Water."

"Master, this?"

Master Canxia smiled,

"This is a pair with the one given to that boy. This sword technique can be practiced separately, and even more so, it can be practiced together. Your two flying swords, one yin and one yang, can just happen to use this technique for the swords to combine; the power can be several times higher. However, you do not need to tell him; wait until the day you really need to use it, and it will not be too late."

"Moreover, the Li Fire Sword Technique is fierce and peerless, swift as fire, yet it cannot escape the soft trend of Kan Water. If one day he dares to use this method to hurt you, you can easily leave his flying sword behind using the Kan Water Sword Technique!"

A big chapter is presented; I seek monthly tickets and recommendations, and welcome comments and messages!
