Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 28 – Lock Demon Tower, one day, Slaying Demons and E

Upon hearing ng Fan's words, Liu Yanping imdiately responded, "Money is not an issue; I can sponsor you."

ng Fan's first reaction to this wasn't excitent or thrill, but caution.

Pies don't fall from the sky.

Liu Yanping's eagerness to help him surely had an ulterior motive.

So, furrowing his brows, ng Fan asked, "Why do you want to help ?"

Liu Yanping smiled and said, "I help you because I seek sothing in return. After all, a hundred Spirit Stones is no small sum."

"What do you want?" ng Fan inquired.

Liu Yanping cut straight to the point, "I want you to share with the insights you gain from the Sword God Stele!"

This left ng Fan sowhat bemused.

It reminded him of his primary school days when he'd pay to copy soone else's howork.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't gain any insights, or that I might deceive you and keep secrets from you?" ng Fan said helplessly.

"Not afraid!" Liu Yanping declared with conviction.

"Why?" ng Fan himself didn't have that much confidence.

He couldn't fathom why Liu Yanping trusted him so much.

"Because you lack Spirit Stones. If you want to earn more from , you can't lie to !" Liu Yanping explained.

That's the confidence of a Rich Woman!

And ng Fan found himself agreeing with her.

Indeed, if he wanted to get Spirit Stones from her, he couldn't afford to deceive her.

Even if he did deceive her, he would have to ensure she felt she got her money's worth.

Thinking it over, she wasn't at a loss at all.

The logic was simple!

ng Fan suddenly saw Liu Yanping in a new light. He had previously thought of her as a naive rich girl, only good at squandering wealth.

Now it seed that every ti she spent money, it wasn't a losing deal.

"Alright, I agree," ng Fan told Liu Yanping directly.

It was a win-win situation; there was no reason for him to refuse.

"Then I'll wait for you at the Training Hall tomorrow and take you to the Sword God Temple," Liu Yanping said.

"Okay!" ng Fan agreed.

Afterward, ng Fan returned to the Sword Pavilion, just in ti to close the pavilion's gate—it was nearly closing ti.

"Senior Disciple Luo, have you heard of the Sword God Stele in the Sword God Temple?" After tidying up, ng Fan asked Senior Disciple Luo.

"The Sword God Stele? Heh, where did you hear about that? It's way beyond your reach. It costs a hundred Spirit Stones for a single session of insight. Don't even think about it," Senior Disciple Luo said offhandedly.

"Have you ever gained insight from the Sword God Stele?" ng Fan continued.

"No, if I had a hundred Spirit Stones, why would I waste them on that when I could do sothing better?

Kid, stop daydreaming!

Indeed, so have gained profound insights from the Sword God Stele, even mastering powerful Sword Techniques, but those are rare exceptions.

Most disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect gain nothing from the Sword God Stele, just squandering a hundred Spirit Stones for nothing.

Even if you really had a hundred Spirit Stones, I wouldn't recomnd you try to gain insight from that thing!"

Hearing Senior Disciple Luo's words, ng Fan understood a bit better.

It seed the Sword God Stele wasn't as easy to comprehend as he had imagined, and Liu Yanping was just too naive.

After all, a hundred Spirit Stones didn't an much to Liu Yanping; she could afford to waste them.

But for soone like Senior Disciple Luo, it was an unaffordable luxury!

ng Fan said to Senior Disciple Luo, "I'm planning to gain insight from the Sword God Stele tomorrow, without spending any Spirit Stones."

"Huh?" Senior Disciple Luo looked confused.

ng Fan explained, "It's Sister Liu who wants to sponsor to gain insight from the Sword God Stele, so I don't have to spend my own Spirit Stones."

He didn't want to hide this from Senior Disciple Luo.

Since he was destined to rise within the Sword Pavilion, it couldn't be kept secret forever.

Better to prepare Senior Disciple Luo in advance than to let him be shocked and unable to accept it later.

After all, ng Fan and Senior Disciple Luo lived and worked together; it was inevitable that so extraordinary aspects would show!

If ng Fan displayed any exceptional abilities in the future, he could attribute them to insights from the Sword God Stele.

Senior Disciple Luo, envious, looked at ng Fan.

"Being handso sure has its perks. If I had your looks, I'd also cling to the thighs of a Rich Woman like Liu Yanping!"

Senior Disciple Luo thought Liu Yanping was sponsoring ng Fan because she was smitten with his good looks, captivated by his handso face.

In reality, Liu Yanping valued ng Fan's enlightennt!

But ng Fan didn't bother to explain this, or rather, he deliberately chose not to clarify, letting Senior Disciple Luo harbor this misunderstanding.

If any outrageous events occurred later, he wouldn't need to co up with excuses; Senior Disciple Luo would likely imagine them himself.

This would save ng Fan a lot of trouble!

That night, ng Fan returned to his room and began his cultivation.

Now he was indulging in luxury, holding a Spirit Stone in his palm to absorb its energy, swallowing a Qi Gathering Pill, and feeling the Essence of the Sword emanating from his lower abdon.

This cultivation speed was even superior to those with Excellent Spiritual Roots!

"Hong Qi, have you heard of the Sword God Stele?" ng Fan asked Hong Qi during his cultivation.

"No," Hong Qi's voice echoed in ng Fan's mind.

"The previous master of the Hong Qi Sword wasn't a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

After his demise, the Hong Qi Sword was fortuitously collected by the Sword Pavilion of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Since arriving at Shu Mountain, the Hong Qi Sword has never left the Sword Pavilion; in fact, you are the first master of the Hong Qi Sword within the Shu Mountain Sword Sect!"

ng Fan nodded, signaling his understanding.

It seed Hong Qi knew very little about Shu Mountain; his hope of finding a living fossil was dashed.

The next day, after cleaning the long sword, ng Fan arrived at the Training Hall and t Liu Yanping as agreed.

"Do you want to watch others practice swordplay here for a while, or shall we go straight to the Sword God Temple?" Liu Yanping, knowing ng Fan's habit of watching others practice, asked.

Initially, she didn't understand why ng Fan liked watching others practice swordplay.

But ever since she witnessed ng Fan's terrifying enlightennt, she completely understood.

For a prodigy like ng Fan, rely watching others wield their swords could allow him to grasp the essence of their Sword Techniques, which was truly astonishing.

"Let's go straight to the Sword God Temple; no need to waste ti," ng Fan told Liu Yanping.

Truth be told, he was quite curious about the Sword God Temple and the Sword God Stele.

After all, these were legendary treasures of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Liu Yanping led ng Fan away from the Training Hall, heading towards the Sword God Temple.

On the way, ng Fan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He saw a towering structure surrounded by a terrifying aura, its exterior bound by iron chains and plastered with countless talismans.

The sight was spectacular and awe-inspiring!

This was ng Fan's first visit to this area and his first encounter with the tower.

When ng Fan was a nial Disciple, he had no access to this region.

Even after becoming a Guarding Sword Disciple of the Sword Pavilion, he had never ventured near here.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yanping, seeing ng Fan halt, asked curiously.

Then she noticed ng Fan staring at the tower to the right and couldn't help but smile.

"First ti seeing the Demon Locking Tower?"

ng Fan imdiately turned to Liu Yanping, full of surprise.

"Is this the legendary Demon Locking Tower?"

ng Fan had certainly heard of the Demon Locking Tower.

It was said to suppress the passage connecting the Demon Realm to the Human Realm, and that the tower imprisoned nurous ferocious and terrifying demons!

Liu Yanping said to ng Fan, "The interior of the Demon Locking Tower is indeed terrifying, but the outside is safe, so you don't need to worry."

She thought ng Fan was frightened and reassured him.

ng Fan exclaid, "Rumor has it that beneath the Demon Locking Tower lies the passage from the Demon Realm to the Human Realm.

Although the passage is sealed, occasionally so escapees appear at the bottom of the tower.

And the powerful cultivators of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect often enter the Demon Locking Tower to clear out these escapees, slaying demons and exterminating evil!"

Liu Yanping glanced at ng Fan.

"That's not a rumor, it's the truth. However, only Elders at their level of cultivation are qualified to enter the Demon Locking Tower to slay demons and exterminate evil. If a disciple were to enter, it would be a death sentence!"

"I wonder when I'll have such an opportunity," ng Fan thought wistfully.

Slaying demons and Sword Flight were the ultimate dreams of every sword cultivator.

Liu Yanping rolled her eyes, suppressing the urge to tease ng Fan, then said, "Once you gain enough insight from the Sword God Stele, perhaps you'll have your chance in the future."

Entering the Demon Locking Tower to exterminate evil was a privilege reserved for Elders.

One would need to reach at least the "Nascent Soul" Realm, or even condense a Sword Spirit, to have the capability.

ng Fan, a re Qi Refining Level Two, was far from ready.

But given ng Fan's frightening enlightennt, it wasn't impossible in the future; Liu Yanping did hold him in high regard.

ng Fan took one last look at the Demon Locking Tower, suppressed the longing in his heart, and said to Liu Yanping, "Sister Liu, let's go. We'll head to the Sword God Temple first."

Monts later, under Liu Yanping's guidance, ng Fan arrived at the Sword God Temple.

Despite its grandiose na, the Sword God Temple was actually a simple and unadorned hall.

In the center of the hall stood a massive stele.

The stele was seven to eight ters tall, almost reaching the ceiling of the Sword God Temple.

Its four sides were incredibly smooth, devoid of any inscriptions or patterns, appearing quite ordinary.

But sotis, the most ordinary-looking things contain the most astonishing secrets!

The Sword God Stele was one such object.

"The Sword God Stele can accommodate up to ten people for simultaneous contemplation. Currently, there are only two, so you can go ahead and begin," Liu Yanping told ng Fan.

Although the Sword God Stele was mystical, its high fee ant it was rare for ten people to contemplate it at once.

In fact, sotis there wasn't even a single person!

"Just ?" ng Fan asked Liu Yanping.

"Of course, if I joined you, that would be two hundred Spirit Stones. Although I have so savings, a hundred Spirit Stones is not sothing to be wasted so casually!"

In Liu Yanping's view, spending a hundred Spirit Stones to contemplate the Sword God Stele was sheer waste.

She had already contemplated it and, despite gaining a little, the ager benefits were not worth a hundred Spirit Stones!
