Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The town was quiet for a long time, and no sound was heard for a long while.

At this time, many people were not asleep at all, and the bolder ones began to peek outside from the windows.

As a result, they saw the young man sitting aside, cracking melon seeds.

And on the ground lay a lifeless corpse.

Houses collapsed, and the streets were full of deep pits and sword marks.

Boom!!

Previously, Li Guanqi had gone to Zhang Da Niu's house and retrieved a skeleton from the well.

It was Li Lanhua's remains.

After burying her properly, he slowly got up, and a black shadow suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

After a moment, Li Nanting jumped off the flying sword, which circled around and returned to its sheath on its own.

Li Nanting flashed to the young man's side and checked him over, discovering that Li Guanqi not only had no injuries.

Even his realm had broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining!

Li Guanqi vaguely glossed over the details and muddled through.

He only said that his Thunder-type spiritual root was very effective against the vengeful ghost, and that was how he barely won.

In the end, the old man was skeptical but didn't say much.

He took Li Guanqi back to the Great Xia Sword Sect on his sword.

Before leaving, Li Guanqi took a deep look at Xingyun Town, and thought of Li Lanhua, who had died unjustly.

He murmured, "A phrase of 'bitter first, then sweet,' but she suffered year after year."

Along the way, Li Guanqi also told the old man about the events in Xingyun Town.

Li Nanting was silent for a long time, then said softly, "Guanqi, this is the human heart and human nature."

After a long while, Li Guanqi said softly, "I know, but every time I encounter this kind of thing, I still feel that human nature is cold and fickle."

"I even think, if someone had stood up and said a fair word for Li Lanhua back then."

"Things might not have turned out like this."

"But… there is no 'if' in this world."

Li Nanting didn't say anything all along.

Many things and principles need to be experienced and felt in order to understand why the principles exist.

"Uh… Master, can you get me some spirit stones?"

"These points are too hard to earn! How could such a powerful vengeful ghost be encountered in a level one mission?"

Li Nanting's face was extremely ugly. At the thought that his disciple almost lost his life because of this, he became angry.

He only said that he didn't need to worry about this matter.

After returning to the sect, Li Guanqi did not rest, but continued to meditate and cultivate as always.

And the Sword Spirit kept its promise and did not steal his cultivation energy again.

The next morning, Li Guanqi woke up from his cultivation state and immediately felt refreshed and clear-headed.

After getting up and placing the prepared wooden stakes, he practiced the boxing stance dozens of times.

After warming up sufficiently, Li Guanqi took out a refined iron sword and began to practice swordsmanship frantically.

At this time, it was not yet dawn, but Li Guanqi had already practiced swordsmanship for a full two hours.

Suddenly, the Sword Spirit's voice sounded in his mind.

"The sword moves with the body, don't let the sword lead you!"

"Strikes must be swift and fast!"

"The build-up before a thrust must combine the power of the whole body to thrust out!"

The Sword Spirit's words gave Li Guanqi a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

The long sword in his hand only made slight changes, and his eyes were full of solemnity.

Clang!!

The sword in his hand thrust out suddenly!

The long sword cut through the space and actually made a harsh sonic boom.

This sword was as swift as the wind, and the waist-thick wooden stake burst open!

Bang!

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Guanqi's mouth. He didn't expect the Sword Spirit's vision to be so sharp.

Even some subtle points that even his master couldn't see.

The Sword Spirit could point out his problems every time.

After he finished cleaning up, the chief steward of the outer sect actually came to look for Li Guanqi in person.

"Haha, as expected, a hero emerges from a young age."

"This time… it's the problem of the mission pavilion, so the sect points are calculated five times!"

"The points are already stored in your jade slip."

Li Guanqi said with a smile, "Then I will thank Steward Zhou for his care. I will bring two bottles of good wine for Uncle Zhou later."

The steward surnamed Zhou immediately smiled when he heard this. He had been worried since yesterday.

But fortunately, Li Guanqi said to his master, "If you get angry at him, then your disciple will suffer later? How can he take on missions?"

So later, Li Nanting asked someone to pass on a message to beat this Steward Zhou.

That's why there is this scene now.

Li Guanqi still understands the principle of mutual benefit.

The scene of Steward Zhou treating Li Guanqi with a smile was also seen by many outer disciples, and the envy was even more needless to say.

In the following days, Li Guanqi had a lot of points, plus a storage bag from Li Nanting containing a full thousand low-grade spirit stones.

It can be said that Li Guanqi no longer needs to run around doing tasks for cultivation resources.

In the next month.

Li Guanqi's figure could be seen almost every day on the sect's Spirit Ascension Platform.

During this month, Li Guanqi's strength also improved rapidly!

In just one month, he had already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining!

This speed completely shocked everyone, and also made many people understand how big the gap between themselves and this monster was.

Li Guanqi was like a tireless machine.

Every day, in addition to practicing swordsmanship, he almost spent all his time in cultivation to restore his energy.

The remaining time, Li Guanqi would come to the sect's cultivation field.

As long as he spent a low-grade spirit stone, he could open a small room containing a formation.

The space inside the room was a full hundred feet in radius, and any desired weapons would be provided.

During this month, his Azure Lotus Heavenly Gang Sword had also reached the late perfection realm.

With every move, the sword sang, and six Azure Lotus Sword Flowers could be conjured in an instant.

But when he showed off to the Sword Spirit again, the Sword Spirit finally couldn't help but say a word.

"Flashy and useless garbage."

Li Guanqi retorted unconvinced, "Saying is easy, everyone can say it, can you teach me a more powerful sword technique?"

The Sword Spirit couldn't stand him practicing this flashy sword technique all the time either.

After appearing, her graceful figure still made Li Guanqi lose his mind for a moment.

Then, the Sword Spirit drew with one hand, and a Yuan Power Spirit Sword appeared in her palm.

The woman's figure lowered, her eyes became extremely sharp, and then Li Guanqi only felt a flash of sword light!

The Sword Spirit said proudly, "Did you see it clearly?"

After coming out of the room in the cultivation field, Li Guanqi, with a look of doubt on his face, went straight to the Sword Tower!

The Great Xia Sword Sect's Sword Tower is very famous in all the sects within a hundred thousand miles.

The Sword Tower is black all over, and looks very solemn.

There are thirty-six floors in total.

Twelve floors each, from Qi Refining to Golden Core peak cultivators can enter it.

And in the Sword Tower, there are sword cultivator puppets of different levels in it.

The more floors in the Sword Tower, the more same-level cultivators you need to face.

So far, no Golden Core cultivator has been able to face twelve Golden Core sword cultivators at the same time.

In the records of the Great Xia Sword Sect since its founding, only the first generation Sect Master climbed to the thirty-third floor!

That is the great power cultivator who ascended to the Immortal Realm.

This is already his third time coming to the Sword Tower.

Even with his monstrous talent, he has only climbed to the sixth floor now.
