Chapter 137: Coming out of retreat! Obtaining the title of monk! (Subscribe)

"What's the matter?" Feng Geng frowned.

He Fei had a smile on his face and said sincerely:

"After I came back from the Mortal Realm, I reported everything about the Mortal Realm to Senior Brother He Lian. Senior Brother He Lian scolded me and ordered me to come and apologize to Senior Brother Feng."

"It was me who offended Senior Brother Feng. He Fei apologizes to Senior Brother here."

Feng Geng said coldly: "You didn't offend me, otherwise you wouldn't still be standing here."

After hearing his words, He Fei not only did not show the same dissatisfaction as before, but his expression became more respectful:

"Brother Feng is right. I don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."

Feng Geng looked at him, hesitant to speak:

"Well, people like you are not true swordsmen after all."

After saying this, he turned around and left the hall as if he saw a pile of smelly feces on the side of the road.

Looking at his departing back, the "sincere" smile on He Fei's face slowly faded, his expression gradually became gloomy, and the veins on the knuckles of his fingers that were holding the bow were slightly bulging because he was using too much force.

Pure sword cultivation will always be a chasm that a sword servant cannot cross.

This can be seen from the difference in the number of pure sword practitioners and sword servants within the sect.

He was not sure about the exact total number of pure sword cultivators in Qingshan Sect, but the number of pure sword cultivators in recent decades could be calculated.

In ten years, including Chu Wange, Qingshan Sect has recruited a total of three pure sword cultivators.

In the past thirty years, the number of pure sword practitioners has only increased by ten.

In fifty years, the total number will not exceed fifteen.

However, during these fifty years, the number of sword servants in the Sword Academy has increased day by day, showing a step-by-step increase.

Nowadays, among the inner and outer disciples in the Sword Academy, there are more than a hundred sword servants, which is almost eight or nine times the number of pure sword practitioners.

The Sword Academy also has a rule that a sword servant can never be promoted to a direct disciple.

Not to mention that He Fei entered the sect about twenty years later than Feng Geng, so what would it matter even if they entered the sect at the same time?

In the same way, they will be left far behind by the other party.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Feng Geng does not have any accident and dies prematurely, he will never be able to catch up with the other party in his lifetime, and even the chance of seeing the other party's back will be very slim.

So when facing Feng Geng, no matter how unhappy he was, he had no choice but to endure and give in.

Of course, in addition to strength, it is also because of the other party’s identity.

A disciple of the vice-president of the Sword Academy, and currently one of the top three inner disciples of the Sword Academy, and a frequent visitor on the Hidden Dragon Ranking...

There is no identity that can compare to him.

At this time, the disciple from the same courtyard standing behind him patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"Brother He, relax! This guy won't be so arrogant for long. Brother He Lian will help you vent your anger at next year's sword competition."

He Fei remained silent. He thought so at first.

After all, his "Sword Master" is Senior Brother He Lian, the top disciple among the inner disciples of the Sword Academy.

That was why he did not back down even when facing Feng Geng, who was much stronger than him in the mortal world.

However, after returning to Lingxu Realm to report, not only did he not get the other party's support, but he was also severely scolded by them.

It was not until this moment that he finally came to his senses.

So what if He Lian can defeat Feng Geng in the sword-fighting competition?

Could it be possible that he could just ride on Feng Geng's head?

How can it be!

If nothing unexpected happens, the humiliation he suffered at Wudao Cliff that day will never have any sequel in this life.

Moreover, let alone Feng Geng, even Chu Wange, who just ascended this year, would surely surpass him soon.

I heard that in less than a month, the other party had already entered the top 500 of the Liangyu List, while he was only ranked over 900...

He Fei clenched his palms slightly, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, and said:

"A pure swordsman is indeed so despairing..."

His companions heard his unwillingness, sighed and said:
"You'll get used to it. Who among the pure sword cultivators isn't a genius among geniuses?"

"But don't underestimate yourself. Although we are only sword servants, we are also sword cultivators after all. We are still the best among our peers and have a promising future!"

At this point, he seemed to recall something interesting, and said with a smile: "The new genius who ascended to the sect recently even managed to gain a lot of points in the sword arena by imitating our sword cultivators."

"New ascension?" He Fei asked in surprise.

"Yeah, it seems to be someone named Lin Mo. You just came up from downstairs, so you should know him, right?"

The disciple smiled and said, "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't even know that our reputation as a sword cultivator is so useful. It can even be used to gain points. Haha..."

Hearing his story, He Fei narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Lin Mo..."

……

……

Just when the disciples of Qingshan Sect thought that Lin Mo and Chu Wange would have an "ultimate points-grabbing battle", this silent game suddenly came to a standstill.

Not only that, even the "Sword Cultivation School" was strictly prohibited by the sect's Law Enforcement Hall in the sword-discussing arena.

However, this does not prevent many disciples from using the "Sword Cultivation Flow".

Many disciples even go against the wind and take risks to practice sword cultivation simply because the benefits are so high.

Each game after ten consecutive wins will be rewarded with 10 low-grade spirit stones, and the fine of the Law Enforcement Hall is also 10 low-grade spirit stones.

In summary, as long as the reward for consecutive wins exceeds the penalty, it is a pure profit! Especially for those "poor and crazy" menial disciples, how could they miss this opportunity to get rich quickly.

Therefore, in the next few days, even with the strict control of the Law Enforcement Hall, the sword cultivation trend continued unabated.

It was not until the Law Enforcement Hall raised the fine from 10 low-grade spirit stones three times in a row to 30 low-grade spirit stones for each violation that the frequency of disciples using sword cultivation to fight in the arena was reduced.

Of course, compared to the sword cultivation flow that is only popular among low-level players, Lin Mo's poems and famous quotes are more popular. Some people even edited his videos into a collection and put them on the video website of Lingxu Realm.

The number of likes continued to surge, and a large number of videos imitating the lines appeared in a short period of time.

The name "Lin Mo" became very popular within the sect and a little famous in the Lingxu Realm.

In his busy schedule, the senior brother of the Alchemy Academy took some time to learn about the news around the Lingxu Realm. After learning about Lin Mo's previous performance in the ring battle, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Junior Brother Lin is extremely talented. He really excels in everything he does!"

After that, he asked Zhuang Weiwan, who he had called over, "Junior Sister Zhuang, is there still no news about Junior Brother Lin?"

Zhuang Weiwan shook his head and said:

"Junior Brother Lin has not even returned to the cave residence these past few nights, and there has been no response to the messages I sent him. It's like he has completely disappeared."

Confusion flashed across the bald senior brother's brows: "What about Luoxing Peak? Still no news?"

Zhuang Weiwan shook his head again and said:
"No, I searched the sect forum and even the various information websites on the Spirit Realm, but I couldn't find any information about Falling Star Peak. There wasn't even a single word about it. It was as if this mountain didn't exist at all."

The eldest brother showed a look of regret, slapped his thigh and said:

"If I had known earlier, I would have taken him to take the mission myself!"

Zhuang Weiwan showed a trace of guilt on his face: "It's all my fault. I should have advised Junior Brother Lin more."

The eldest brother sighed again, then narrowed his eyes and said:
"It's okay. We still have a chance. Junior Brother Lin Mo just disappeared, which doesn't necessarily mean that he has really chosen that lineage. Maybe after trying it, he found that the Luoxing Peak inheritance is not as good as our Alchemy Academy."

He looked very confident, and added: "After all, I have never even heard of this Falling Star Peak, but the Alchemy Academy is one of the five major schools of the sect, with a solid foundation. What can Falling Star Peak have to compare with us..."

"Silence!"

Before he could finish his words, his voice was "lost" again.

The Dean of the Dan Academy appeared in front of him and looked at him unhappily: "You don't even have many hairs left, but you are still so impetuous in your words and actions!"

The eldest brother looked a little sad. For whom did I lose all this hair? Ask yourself -

When have you ever taken care of the chores in the courtyard?
How many times have the disciples been taught?
How many times have the department held conferences?
How many times have you been to the elixir seminar?
……

"..." The dean coughed and changed the subject:

"Anyway, don't say that again. If that old guy gets upset after hearing it, not to mention me, even the Sect Master can't save you."

Old guy? Sovereign?

The eldest senior brother looked surprised. Could it be that the master of Luoxing Peak has a longer experience in Taoism than his teacher?

The dean added:
"Besides, who told you that Luoxing Peak doesn't belong to the five major departments?"

The eldest brother and Zhuang Weiwan were stunned for a moment, and then he continued:

"Isn't the Jiugong Pavilion owned by Luoxing Peak?"

Oh, Jiugong Pavilion is Luoxing...

and many more!

Isn't this the opposite of what you said?

The bald senior brother was very confused, because the Jiugong Pavilion was one of the five major departments recognized in the sect.

Those array cultivation disciples were all very arrogant, with eyes that seemed to be grown on their foreheads. They looked at everyone as if they were fools, and their arrogance was second only to the sword cultivation disciples in the sect.

The reason is very simple. The versatility of formations in the Lingxu world is too strong. Formations are needed in many functions and occasions such as attack, defense, treatment, assistance, practice, and teleportation. Almost everything requires formations.

A sect can be without the three popular professions of sword cultivation, alchemy cultivation, and physical cultivation, but it absolutely cannot be without formation cultivation.

Now the teacher told him that the Qingshan Sect's formation training department, Jiugong Pavilion, was not an independent department, but was subordinate to Luoxing Peak.

How can this be! ?
Faced with their confusion, the Dean of the Dan Academy did not want to explain too much, and just said:

"Just remember this. If Lin Mo really joins that lineage, don't try to rob him. Otherwise, if he dies suddenly on the road one day, don't blame me for not reminding you."

The senior brother, who was familiar with the other party, saw a subtle fear in the depths of his teacher's eyes, and became more and more shocked.

What kind of place is this Falling Star Peak that even the teacher is so afraid of it! ?
But if we miss a genius like Lin Mo, when will the next person appear to take over his position?
Although Junior Sister Zhuang in front of him had good aptitude and was diligent, the light on the Star-Pointing Talisman was only purple.

She has worked very hard in the path of alchemy, but is a little weak in innovation and research and development, and is still a little short of the mark.

Thinking of this, the eldest senior brother felt annoyed again. He just hoped that Lin Mo would change his mind in the end and choose the inheritance of their Alchemy Academy.

If that is the case, he can train the other party as the successor to the position of the eldest senior brother, providing him with all the resources and benefits, and only need him to focus on refining medicine and practicing.

It doesn't matter if the qualifications are almost there. With the financial resources of the Alchemy Institute, even if so many pills are fed to a pig, it can easily feed a pig into the Golden Core stage.

Isn’t it easy for Lin Mo to improve his cultivation level without any reason?
……

……

Seven days later, in the early morning, inside the Taoist temple on the top of Luoxing Peak.

As the light of the first sun shone in from the Taoist temple, the five-colored rainbow light on Lin Mo's body slowly converged back into his body, and the fluctuations of the surrounding spiritual energy became more stable and no longer danced wildly.

After waiting for a long time when there were no more strange phenomena around him, he finally opened his eyes slowly.

At the same time, a system prompt sounded:

[Ding! The natal item has been refined: tortoise shell]

[Ding! Completed the hidden master-disciple task, obtained the monk title: Gua Master (1 bronze)]

……

As the system prompts ended, Lin Mo's personal panel was also updated because he obtained the title of monk.
