Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The Seven Peaks Elders nodded in agreement, as they were all aware of Li Nanting's strength.

With such talent, they could understand Li Nanting's return to take him as his close disciple.

After all, no one wants to come into this world for nothing; they always want to pass on their skills.

The crowd dispersed.

Li Nanting took Li Guanqi back to his own courtyard.

They held a very simple apprenticeship ceremony.

Kneeling, offering tea, the ceremony was complete.

Li Nanting said softly, "Guanqi, today you and I become master and disciple, it is fate."

"Your teacher has nothing to give you, so I'll give you a pill."

Swish!

The old man's ring on his left hand flashed, and a jade box appeared in his hand.

Li Guanqi carefully took the jade box and opened it, discovering a round and smooth pill inside.

But this pill had a fluorescent glow.

"Master, this is..."

The old man smiled slightly and said softly, "Top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill."

Li Guanqi was slightly stunned and quickly closed the jade box carefully, returning it to the old man.

"No, no, Master, this thing is too precious."

"You should keep it."

The old man laughed and said softly, "Just take it, this old man only has this valuable thing."

"Originally, the Sect Master also wanted to give you a Foundation Establishment Pill, but this kind of thing is too conspicuous and might cause you trouble."

"So he wanted to wait until you reached the tenth level of Qi Refining before giving it to you, but I am different."

"Since I have it, I'll give it to you!"

But Li Guanqi still insisted, "Master, I can't even sleep well with this thing on me."

"How about this, I'll leave it with you first, and you can give it to me when I need it."

Seeing the young man insist on not taking it, the old man didn't say much and put the jade box away.

He said softly, "Since that's the case, then I'll keep it for you for now."

"Well... I see that your Qi and blood are strong, and the foundation of your body tempering is very solid!"

"Did elders in your family teach you?"

Li Guanqi scratched his head, recalling his grandfather's stern appearance.

He respectfully replied, "My grandfather soaked me in medicinal baths since I was a child, and made me carry weights up and down the mountain every day, and also practice boxing stances."

"I don't know how it turned out like this."

A gleam flashed in Li Nanting's eyes.

No wonder he felt a fresh herbal fragrance when he saw Li Guanqi.

"Then the thing you're carrying on your back was also given to you by your grandfather? Is it a sword box?"

"It doesn't look like it... How could there be such a big sword box, and it's made of stone."

Li Guanqi scratched his head and said softly, "My grandfather gave it to me when he was leaving, but he said this thing is a sword coffin, not a sword box."

Boom!

This sentence was like a thunderclap in Li Nanting's mind!

With a wave of his hand, the wooden door of the hall slammed shut.

Then, he set up a Yuan energy barrier in front of the two of them.

Li Guanqi didn't know why the old man was suddenly so cautious.

Li Nanting stood up, his face solemn, and said, "If anyone asks you about this in the future, you must say that this thing is a sword box!"

"Why?"

"Why... I'm afraid someone will covet the treasure and kill to seize it!"

"Sword Coffin! Only long swords that have reached the level of magic weapons, or even ancient treasures, can be sealed like this!"

"From low to high, they are divided into mortal weapons, magic weapons, spiritual weapons, magic treasures, ancient treasures, spiritual treasures, and heaven-penetrating spiritual treasures!"

After hearing what the old man said, Li Guanqi realized how precious this sword coffin was.

The old man explained very directly, "Even Nascent Soul cultivators find it difficult to obtain an ancient treasure-level sword!"

"Many cultivators are still using magic treasures even when they are in the Nascent Soul realm."

"Don't show off your wealth, be careful."

The young man nodded solemnly, remembering this matter in his heart.

Then the old man dispersed the Yuan energy barrier and said softly, "It seems that your grandfather is also a cultivator, and his strength must be not low..."

"To let you carry an ancient treasure spiritual sword all the way with such a big heart."

Li Guanqi could only awkwardly touch his nose, after all, he didn't know how high his grandfather's realm was.

Li Nanting sat on the chair, pointed to the futon in front of him, and motioned for Li Guanqi to sit down.

Then he sorted out his thoughts and said softly, "What do you think is a immortal?"

Li Guanqi pondered for a moment and said softly, "Longevity, flying with a sword, wielding the sword at will, obtaining great freedom in the heart."

After hearing this, Li Nanting showed a loving smile.

He pointed his finger in Li Guanqi's direction and smiled, "It's not easy to have this understanding at a young age."

"Some people say that the so-called immortal is carefree, benevolent, and kind."

"Slaying demons and eliminating evil, acting on behalf of heaven."

"Enjoying the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, with a long lifespan."

"Watching the vicissitudes of the world, yet drinking alone and watching the mountains unmoved."

"This is an immortal, but not all of it."

Li Guanqi's thoughts were already immersed in the 'immortal' described by the old man.

But the old man changed the subject at this time, and said in a stern tone.

"But in your master's heart, the immortal is another kind of appearance!"

Li Guanqi asked curiously, "What kind of appearance?"

At this time, the old man's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he stood up and looked directly at the sky, saying in a deep voice.

"The road of cultivation is long, and along the way, there are intrigues and schemes!"

"Naturally, there will be a lot of bloody storms, and the birth of heavy treasures will attract everyone to follow, and there will be no shortage of swords and killings."

"After reaching the Nascent Soul, you have to experience a small heavenly tribulation every three hundred years."

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly turned to look at the young man.

"So in my opinion, once you enter the path of immortality, it is like entering a deep sea, and there is no turning back in this life."

"The so-called immortal is a fight!"

A trace of doubt appeared in the young man's eyes.

"Fight?"

"That's right! Fight with people! Fight with the earth! Fight with the sky!"

"Seize spiritual energy! Seize luck! Seize opportunities!"

"Longevity for ten thousand years, without joy or sorrow, both immortal and demon!"

"Cultivation is going against the sky, plundering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, achieving supreme golden body, and ascending to the immortal world."

"The road is full of thorns, then open the mountain when encountering a mountain, and build a bridge when encountering a river, and use the sword in your hand to open up a broad road that belongs to you!"

The old man's passionate voice seemed to be telling his own feelings for hundreds of years.

He wanted to use these few words to let the young man understand some truths early.

And these truths are what he has learned from countless hardships in the world.

He didn't want the young man to become that pedantic person, too kind-hearted.

Something suddenly appeared in the young man's ignorant eyes, and he got up and respectfully bowed.

"Master, although this disciple can't fully understand it now, I will keep these words in mind."

Li Nanting looked at the ignorant young man and didn't say anything like you don't need to understand now.

The reason why he said these things was to let him understand the cruelty of cultivation as soon as possible.

Li Nanting waved his hand and said, "Go back early today, and attend class at Tianshui Peak at Mao time tomorrow. Elder Lan will be your teacher and give you the first lesson of cultivation. Don't be late."

Li Guanqi bowed and took his leave.
