Chapter 254

"Reporting to Sword Spirit Senior, this junior has never seen this person. I wonder what business you have with him? This junior will definitely do everything in my power for you!"

Lin Guan was the first to speak again, very wittily!

Xu Que replied indifferently: "This young man named Fujiwara Takumi is an 'old driver' (expert), and he comes from the Zha Tian Bang. He is honest, simple, innocent, and respects the old and loves the young. At the same time, his sword intent talent is extraordinary. I am preparing to take him as my direct disciple."

"What?"

Everyone was shocked.

Someone has already been favored by the Sword Spirit Senior?

And he's a direct disciple. Holy crap, one spot is gone just like that!

Many people immediately became nervous, wondering if they were also honest, simple, innocent, and if they also respected the old and loved the young.

But once they thought about it, most of them lost their confidence.

As cultivators, how could they still care about so many worldly views and customs!

They usually spent their time killing and snatching treasures, following the "let fellow Daoists die, not me" philosophy; how could they have pure and kind characters!

So at this moment, most people were sighing in regret. Some were lamenting that when they flew over a village last time, they saw an old woman struggling to fetch water but didn't land to help...

Some were regretting that they once saw a child playing and getting lost in the mountains but didn't send him out...

Everyone lowered their heads, truly undergoing a deep test of their conscience.

However, Xu Que continued: "I sense that the young man named Fujiwara Takumi entered the Sword Tomb but disappeared inexplicably. Therefore, you should go and find him for me. After finding him, care for him, love him, and treat him as your Senior Brother."

Eh? Treat him as a Senior Brother?

Everyone was stunned. Could this sentence from the Sword Spirit Senior imply...

"I presume that with your aptitudes, you have all guessed it. That's right, whoever can find that Fujiwara Takumi and bring him before me will have a fated connection with me. At that time, I will take you all as direct disciples and pass on supreme sword techniques to you," Xu Que bluffed indifferently.

The eyes of everyone in the audience lit up, shining with brilliance.

Finding Fujiwara Takumi would make them direct disciples of the Sword Spirit Senior?

Holy crap, it turns out the Sword Spirit Senior takes disciples based on fate; this is a huge test!

Many people were full of hope again. If it were about character, they would feel guilty, but if it were about finding someone based on fate, that would be simple; everyone had a chance!

"Rest assured, Sword Spirit Senior, I will definitely find Senior Brother Fujiwara!"

"You're too shameless, when did my Senior Brother Fujiwara become your Senior Brother!"

"Stop arguing, I am the Junior Brother of Senior Brother Fujiwara!"

"Let me tell you, our ancestors once had the surname Fujiwara, don't argue with me! This Senior Brother Fujiwara Takumi is very likely our distant bloodline..."

A group of people started to make a scene, really saying anything and everything, spouting nonsense. In order to fight for this opportunity to be taken as a disciple by the Sword Spirit, these prodigies and geniuses from major righteous sects all became so shameless.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. You have gained 180 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. You have gained 210 Acting Cool Points!"

Xu Que was almost overjoyed, but he still didn't speak, maintaining his high-and-mighty cool, calmly floating back and forth in the air.

Wherever he went, spiritual energy would gather into the shape of a sword, which was very imposing.

Anyway, he was addicted to playing this game.

But this scene appeared very extraordinary and enviable in the eyes of the crowd.

They all fantasized that if they became direct disciples of the Sword Spirit and inherited such powerful sword intent, they would surely advance triumphantly in the cultivation world in the future!

"Sword Spirit Senior, then we will take our leave first to find Senior Brother Fujiwara."

Everyone said one after another, already eager to try and impatient to find Fujiwara Takumi.

"Wait!"

Xu Que stopped them unhurriedly and said indifferently: "I have been asleep for ten thousand years and need to absorb the essence of some precious swords. When you are looking for people, bring those precious swords over as well. Do you understand?"

Everyone was stunned!

Does the Sword Spirit eat the essence of precious swords? It seems I've never heard of that!

"Sword Spirit Senior, please accept this six-star grade precious sword!"

Lin Guan of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion immediately seized the opportunity, walked out holding the sword from before, and respectfully presented it to Xu Que.

"En, your performance is very good; I will remember you! Later, if you can't find Fujiwara Takumi, you can also come to see me. Come! This strand of sword intent essence is a greeting gift from me..."

Xu Que nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and directly put the sword into his pocket. At the same time, he casually struck a messy sword technique formula—something like "In the world of martial arts, only speed is unbreakable"—directly into Lin Guan's mind.

"Thank you, Sword Spirit Senior!"

Lin Guan was full of surprise; this was simply an unexpected gain!

When the others saw this, they became anxious.

The Sword Spirit Senior has been asleep for ten thousand years and must be hungry now. He hasn't had time to find precious swords yet, which means that if they hand over precious swords now, they can please the Sword Spirit Senior.

Immediately, several prodigies suddenly walked out, pulled out precious swords from their storage rings, and handed them to Xu Que.

"Sword Spirit Senior, this sword is the heirloom of my Wang family, also a six-star grade. Please accept it!"

"Sword Spirit Senior, this junior also has a six-star grade precious sword here."

"This junior has one too!"

Suddenly, these six-star grade precious swords, which would have caused countless people to fight and bleed if taken out, were all presented to Xu Que.

These people had hidden themselves too deeply, possessing supreme treasures but always keeping a low profile. If they hadn't seen this opportunity, they wouldn't have taken out such precious items.

Clearly, the inheritance of the Sword Spirit's supreme technique was far more precious to them than a six-star precious sword.

"Not bad, not bad. Anyone who presents a six-star dharma artifact can be exceptionally taken as a recorded disciple. Come, come, come... one strand of sword intent essence for each of you. Everyone, study it well! Although it's a very simple sentence, it is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth!" Xu Que said indifferently, while giving each person a sword technique formula.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. You have gained 190 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. You have gained 230 Acting Cool Points!"

Hearing the system's success notification, Xu Que didn't change his expression and continued to diligently carry out his great cause of acting cool and bluffing.

But inside, he was already overjoyed!

Six-star grade precious swords, hahahaha, he bluffed nearly ten of them all at once!

The key is that this group of people was also happy.

The title of a recorded disciple was enough to make them feel surprised. They knelt down one after another and shouted in unison: "Disciple pays respects to Sword Spirit Master!"

"Rise, go and find your Senior Brother Fujiwara!" Xu Que nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, starting to shoo them away.

"Yes!"

A group of people left happily, very excited.

And more people pinned their hopes on the "Fujiwara Takumi" mentioned by Xu Que, firmly believing that as long as they found him, they could become direct disciples of the Sword Spirit and have no worries for the rest of their lives!

Xu Que hid in the light shadow, watching them leave with a smile, unable to stop himself from laughing out loud in his heart.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that this time, I can act another huge wave of cool!"
