A sword, a donkey, and a pot of wine

Chapter 4

"Disciple, after I leave, if you pass the test at the Sword Tomb, you will take your donkey and head east to Jiuxiao Pavilion to become my disciple!"

"The Sword Pavilion Master in the Jiuxiao Pavilion is my long-time friend. You must become her disciple before you can practice the Golden Elixir Dao!"

"Your enemy is extremely powerful and is from the Immortal Sect. Unless you have reached the Mountain Moving Realm, remember not to reveal your real name!"

"Also, you must always carry this wine jug with you. Remember to drink the wine in it often!"

On the hill, in front of the lonely grave!

A man and a donkey, standing there...

What the old man said before he passed away.

Xu Tianjiao kept it in mind!

He kowtowed three times solemnly in front of the lonely grave!

Xu Tianjiao, dressed in black, climbed onto the donkey!

Facing the rising sun, go at full speed!

Although it is a donkey, its speed is no slower than that of the demon horse!

This world is not peaceful!

The snow hasn't melted yet, but someone is robbing people on the road!

Xu Tianjiao tapped her toes and flew into the crowd!

In a short while, the robbers were beheaded!

It can be considered as getting rid of harm to the people!

Xu Tianjiao thought so!

Qingyang City, a small city in the Western Regions!

Jiuxiao Pavilion, a famous immortal cultivation sect in the Eastern Region.

From west to east, even at the speed of a donkey!

It took Xu Tianjiao half a year to get there!

Jiuxiao City!

Built on the mountain, the city is prosperous!

Even Xu Tianjiao has traveled thousands of miles!

I have to sigh! I used to be a little too narrow-minded!

Xu Tianjiao entered a restaurant and handed the donkey to the waiter!

Ordered some food and sat by the window!

While eating and drinking, he listened attentively!

"Have you heard? Fairy Qin of the Sword Pavilion recently announced that she's looking to recruit a disciple! Since the news broke, many sword geniuses have already sought her out!"

"But Fairy Qin set three tests, and no one has passed them in the past few months!"

"I heard that the Lin family's swordsman Lin Ruohai, the Qingfeng Sword Sect's Saint Son Jianchi, the Qianyuan Sword Sect's Mei Ruohua, and the Canghai Biyue Tower's Young Master Nie Wushuang have all failed!"

Not far from Xu Tianjiao, an elegant young man holding a folding fan was spitting everywhere, and a group of warriors at the tables around him were listening with great interest!

Most of them are warriors who want to join Jiuxiao Pavilion. They come to this restaurant to rest and learn about the rules of Jiuxiao Pavilion for recruiting people!

"Sir, is this Fairy Qin the Sword Pavilion Master who cut off Mount Tianshan with one sword?"

Opposite Mr. Pianpian, a warrior couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it's her, otherwise why would these sword geniuses be vying to become her disciples!"

Young Master Pian Pian smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and continued, "Fairy Qin is the most mysterious figure in Jiuxiao Pavilion. During the last Tianshan Sword Contest, she severed Tianshan Mountain with a single sword strike, shocking the entire world. Since then, she has been practicing in seclusion in the Sword Pavilion, rarely appearing in public."

"As for the three tests set by Fairy Qin, they are even more terrifying."

"The first test is to break through the Jiuxiao Pavilion's sword formation within the time of an incense stick. The sword energy in that sword formation is so strong that even the slightest mistake will result in serious injury."

"The second test is to comprehend the sword technique left by Fairy Qin overnight. That sword technique is extremely profound, and even a sword genius would find it difficult to comprehend it in such a short time."

"As for the third test, no one knows its specific content yet, but it is likely to be extremely difficult."

"Lin Ruohai, Jianchi, Mei Ruohua, and Nie Wushuang, these four are all outstanding sword masters of the younger generation in the Eastern Region, but they all failed in the test of Fairy Qin."

Hearing this, Xu Tianjiao couldn't help but frown.

"So, do you think anyone else can pass these three tests?"

Someone asked at the table.

"Maybe there aren't any in the Eastern Region, but there are many sword geniuses from other regions who come here because of their reputation. Maybe there really are one or two, who knows!"

After saying this, Mr. Pianpian threw down a few coins, stood up and left!

"Hey! Don't go, sir! Keep talking!"

someone shouted.

The young man ignored him and disappeared in the restaurant in a blink of an eye!

"Why does this person look so familiar? I think I've seen him somewhere before?"

"Oh, I remember now, he is Mu Bai!"

A warrior thought hard for a long time, then suddenly slapped his forehead and spoke loudly.

"Mu Bai? The direct disciple of the Northern Frontier Sword Saint, Mu Bai, known as the Little Sword Saint!"

Someone echoed.

"Why is he here? Could it be that he also wants to become a disciple of Fairy Qin?"

"Of course, Fairy Qin is one of the top three sword masters in the world!"

"Maybe he's going to challenge those three tests right now. Let's go and take a look!"

For a moment, the building was deserted and only Xu Tianjiao was left.

Eating and drinking leisurely there!

……

After Xu Tianjiao had eaten and drunk her fill.

He left the restaurant and led the donkey towards Jiuxiao Pavilion!

The front of Jiuxiao Pavilion is already full of people!

The crowd was divided into two waves, one wave went up the stone steps and straight into the sky!

One wave came from the east, and no one knew where it was heading!

Xu Tianjiao settled the donkey and asked someone!

Then I know the reason.

It turned out that those who came up the stone steps were all disciples who came to Jiuxiao to become his apprentice.

And the person who went from the east came to watch Fairy Qin recruit a disciple!

Fairy Qin rarely shows up, and now that she's accepting a disciple, many people naturally want to catch a glimpse of her!

Xu Tianjiao followed the crowd and headed east!

After a while, they arrived at the gate of Jiange!

It is better to say that it is a paradise on earth than to call it Jiange.

There was a towering sword pavilion standing in the midst of a green forest.

Sword energy swirled around the Sword Pavilion, and it seemed as if the sound of thousands of swords ringing together was echoing in the ears.

On the plaque of Jiange, the word "Jiange" is engraved in large golden characters. The brushstrokes are vigorous, revealing an indescribable majesty and dominance.

Xu Tianjiao stood in front of the Jiange gate and couldn't help feeling a sense of respect in her heart.

After entering Jiange, Xu Tianjiao found that quite a few people had gathered inside.

They were either standing or sitting, waiting for Fairy Qin to appear.

Xu Tianjiao found a corner to sit down and quietly observed everything around her.

And in the crowd, he found someone!

It was Mu Bai, known as the Little Sword Saint!

Soon, a melodious sound of piano came from afar, and along with the sound of the piano, a woman in white slowly walked over.

Her steps were light, as if she was walking on clouds, and she exuded an otherworldly aura.

"Look, it's Fairy Qin. She's truly so beautiful that she doesn't seem like a mortal!"

Someone in the crowd whispered.

As she got closer, more and more eyes were attracted to her!

Even Mu Bai's expression looked a little solemn at this moment!

Fairy Qin was dressed in a white dress, flowing like a fairy.

As her long sleeves fluttered, she looked like a banished immortal who was not affected by worldly affairs.

She moved lightly with lotus steps and slowly came to the high platform!

"Welcome everyone to the Sword Pavilion's disciple-recruiting ceremony. The first test is to pass through the Nine Heavens Sword Formation!"

"If the sword is not able to perceive you, please withdraw!"

As soon as Fairy Qin finished speaking, the crowd suddenly became noisy.

"Quiet, those who meet the requirements, please come on stage and challenge!"

"It takes only one stick of incense to pass through the sword formation!"

After Qin Fairy finished speaking, she used her finger to represent a sword.

Gently move across the space in front!

A portal suddenly appeared!

"I come!"

A young swordsman, holding a long sword, jumped into the gate!

Go quickly and come back quickly!

The young swordsman was thrown out of the gate, his whole body covered with sword wounds!

Lying on the ground, dying!

"This……"

The crowd around suddenly fell silent, they were all shocked by this cruel scene.

The strength of the sword energy in the sword formation was beyond their imagination. Just the first test had already caused a sword genius to be seriously injured.

"Who else wants to challenge?" Fairy Qin asked calmly, without a trace of emotion in her voice.

In the crowd, many people showed hesitation and retreat in their eyes.

At this time, a figure walked out from the crowd. It was Mu Bai.

He held a long sword in his hand, his eyes determined, and stepped into the portal!

It takes less than an incense stick of time!

Mu Bai walked out of the door with excitement in his eyes.

"Is this approved?"

"Little Sword Saint Mu Bai! His reputation is truly well-deserved!"

Someone in the crowd whispered.

"Congratulations on passing your first test!"

Fairy Qin said lightly.

"Next!" Fairy Qin said lightly.
