Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 229 – The Sect Master of Shu Mountain’s concerns, Sh

After Er Gou arrived at Shu Mountain, he was tested and found to have an Excellent Spiritual Root, allowing him to join the Shu Mountain Sword Sect smoothly.

"Just like my sister Xuerou, both have Excellent Spiritual Roots!" ng Fan muttered to himself.

An Excellent Spiritual Root, as long as it grows smoothly and doesn't die prematurely, is destined to beco powerful!

Speaking of which, ng Fan had always been curious about Senior Disciple Jin's realm, but Senior Disciple Jin kept his mouth shut and never told ng Fan.

"With an Excellent Spiritual Root and having cultivated in Shu Mountain for so many years, Senior Disciple Jin's cultivation level must be formidable."

ng Fan decided to be more cautious around Senior Disciple Jin in the future, not to show any abnormal behavior, and preferably avoid eting him altogether.

The mory scenes continued to flash rapidly. ng Fan saw Senior Disciple Jin joining the Shu Mountain Sword Sect and embarking on the path of sword cultivation.

As ng Fan had guessed, Senior Disciple Jin's cultivation speed was incredibly fast, living up to the potential of an Excellent Spiritual Root.

Even Sect Master Lin Jinghong never acknowledged Senior Disciple Jin, and he rarely interacted with him, seemingly avoiding and distancing himself on purpose.

It wasn't until Senior Disciple Jin's cultivation grew stronger and he switched to a new sword that the Sword Wraith mory ended.

In the final stages of this mory, ng Fan learned that Senior Disciple Jin had already reached the Summoning God realm in sword cultivation and was only a step away from the Primordial Spirit Realm.

And according to ng Fan's comparison of the tiline, this was ten years ago!

In other words, ten years ago, Senior Disciple Jin was already on the verge of advancing to the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Now, ten years have passed...

Who knows how much stronger he has beco!

***

ng Fan opened his eyes, his expression complex and sowhat apprehensive.

Elder Lin had noticed ng Fan's unusual behavior but chose to ignore it.

He had long been aware that ng Fan sotis spaced out while wiping his sword, so he was used to it.

After absorbing the Essence of the Sword from the Mu Shu Sword, ng Fan placed it back on the rack in front of him.

Although the mory had ended, his mind was still imrsed in it.

In the latter part of the mory, Lin Jinghong had already beco the Sect Master of Shu Mountain, a true powerhouse.

Looking across the entire world, he was a renowned expert.

In such a situation, why did the Sect Master still not dare to acknowledge Senior Disciple Jin, even deliberately avoiding him?

It seed... as if he was afraid of bringing danger and calamity to Senior Disciple Jin.

What could be so fearso that even the powerful Sect Master would not dare to protect his own son?

ng Fan didn't understand the whole story, but he could imagine that it was definitely not simple.

Could there be sothing in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect that even the Sect Master feared?

Sothing that even the Sect Master couldn't guarantee his son's safety from?

ng Fan shook his head, deciding not to think about these complicated matters.

These were not things he was qualified to ponder.

It was better to avoid them altogether, not even think about them!

He would quietly accumulate strength and grow stronger, avoiding unnecessary entanglents.

After wiping thirty long swords and absorbing enough Essence of the Sword, ng Fan left the second floor of the Sword Pavilion and returned to his room.

He cultivated silently through the night without a word.

***

Early the next morning, the old monk contacted ng Fan and gifted him the spiritual energy he had cultivated.

The spiritual energy was minimal, just a wisp, which ng Fan quickly absorbed.

He felt that his Divine Soul seed to have solidified a bit.

Though not much, it was indeed real.

After all, this was just one day's harvest, and small incrents would add up!

"How many days can one top-grade Spirit Stone sustain you?" ng Fan asked the old monk.

"Three days," the old monk replied.

ng Fan gasped in shock.

Damn, that's expensive!

But as long as it was effective, it was worth it.

ng Fan didn't say much more and instructed the old monk to continue refining Spirit Stones.

If Spirit Stones were insufficient, he would find a way to earn more.

"Hong Qi," ng Fan called out.

"Master!" Hong Qi's phantom appeared and bowed to ng Fan.

ng Fan sighed, too tired to correct her form of address.

"Has the old monk taught you any thods for cultivating your soul body?"

Hong Qi nodded, "Yes, the old monk has so skills. He taught a soul condensation technique, which is quite effective. Coupled with the Essence of the Sword you provided last night, I feel that my spiritual body is getting closer to becoming a soul body!"

Previously, Hong Qi needed to absorb the Essence of the Sword from over a thousand Spiritual Swords to advance.

Now, this process had been significantly shortened.

Good news!

ng Fan nodded and let Hong Qi return to the Hong Qi Sword.

"The problem now is figuring out how to earn Spirit Stones. The old monk consus one top-grade Spirit Stone every three days, which ans a thousand Spirit Stones a month!"

ng Fan's current wealth was far from enough to restore his Divine Soul.

"Master ng, consuming one top-grade Spirit Stone every three days is just my current rate. As my soul body improves, I might consu one top-grade Spirit Stone a day, or even half a day!" the old monk's voice suddenly echoed in ng Fan's mind.

"Got it!" ng Fan replied irritably.

***

ng Fan left the Sword Pavilion and headed to the Thousand Catty Fall formation at the Cliff of Remorse.

No matter what, he couldn't disrupt his cultivation rhythm. He would cultivate when it was ti to cultivate and think about other things in his spare ti.

After leaving the Cliff of Remorse, ng Fan began to ponder how to quickly earn Spirit Stones.

When it ca to Spirit Stones, the first person ng Fan thought of was Liu Yanping.

After all, he had labeled her as a "little rich woman."

But even as a little rich woman, her cultivation level was too low. ng Fan couldn't rely solely on her.

He needed to exploit the entire Alchemy Hall!

After leaving the Cliff of Remorse, ng Fan went to Liu Yanping's residence.

"Senior Brother ng!" Liu Yanping was surprised to see ng Fan.

ng Fan rarely sought her out, and as the gap between them grew, she felt embarrassed to approach him often.

Since returning to Shu Mountain from Kongyue Town, it had only been half a month, and Liu Yanping didn't expect ng Fan to co looking for her.

"Huh, everyone's here?" ng Fan noticed Yang Shishi and Xiao Hui were also at Liu Yanping's place.

Yang Shishi blushed and greeted ng Fan, looking a bit shy.

ng Fan found it puzzling. He hadn't flirted with her, so why was she shy?

He walked up to Xiao Hui and asked with a smile, "Xiao Hui, how have you been feeling at Shu Mountain these days? Have you been practicing the sword technique I taught you?"

Xiao Hui nodded vigorously several tis.

Liu Yanping ca over and said with a smile, "Senior Brother ng, Xiao Hui has a new na now. He nad himself Shu Changsheng!"

Shu Changsheng?

ng Fan looked at the boy in surprise and couldn't help but laugh.
