Chapter 83 Hidden Sword Pavilion, Su Ajian
"The lineage of Master Qi Xuan in Tianxin Peak has been discontinued. You only need to stay in Tianxin Peak and retain your status as a direct disciple. How about that?"
Master Qi Xuan was seriously injured and failed to survive the catastrophe and died. Two of his disciples lost their lives during a trip to the secret realm thirty years ago, and Tianxin Peak also lost its inheritance for thirty years. .
Today's Tianxin Peak does not have a new peak master yet. If Ning Fusang hangs under the gate of Tianxin Peak, it will be like a new peak master.
But everyone also knows that this "Peak Master" is just an empty name and has no real power. He just says it to sound good.
The biggest difference between direct disciples and ordinary inner disciples is that they have a powerful "backer", which brings resources and connections. Obviously, this is far more than what an empty "peak master" title can bring. The benefits are much greater.
They want to become direct disciples because they want to be guided by their master in practice.
But Ning Fusang wants to follow her own way of swordsmanship. For her, Tianxinfeng, who has fallen and has lost her inheritance, is exactly what she wants.
She thought for a moment and then replied: "My disciple is willing."
Shen Hongxue added: "In this way, although you retain your status as a personal disciple, it is still a little bit worse after all."
He thought for a moment and said, "Well, you can make a request within a reasonable range."
Shen Tu Lei, who was standing next to him, glanced slightly sideways and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that the head master, who is so easy to talk to, would even want to compensate her. I don't know what Ning Fusang will ask for, but no matter what request he makes, how can he worship a sect member? An elder is a good teacher.”
Xiaoqiu on the other side blinked and looked at Ning Fusang curiously.
Ning Fusang quickly replied: "To the headmaster, I would like to go to the Sutra Library inside the sect and stay for an hour every day."
Unlike the library at the outer gate, the scripture library at the main peak of Kaiyang Peak is not open to disciples for free, but must deduct contribution points before entering. At the same time, contribution points will also be deducted for viewing the complete Jade Slips of the exercises.
The library collects miscellaneous books, classics on mountains and rivers, and some low-level and unpopular spells, such as dust purification spells, dust sweeping spells, fire spirit spells, water avoidance spells, etc.
What is collected in the Sutra Collection Building is various Taoist Sutra techniques. They are extremely precious and cannot be compared with each other. Naturally, they cannot be accessed and borrowed at will. The guards of the Sutra-Tibetan Pavilion are even stricter than that of the Sword-Tibetan Pavilion.
Because disciples often come in and out of the Sutra Pavilion, the Hidden Sword Pavilion will only be opened when the swords are sent to the warehouse and only after the outer sect competition is over and the inner sect disciples choose their spiritual swords. The rest of the time it is basically closed.
Ning Fusang's request was not excessive, and Shen Hongxue agreed immediately.
He returned to the high platform and continued the process.
Everything went well in the follow-up. There were two disciples. In the first round, the lottery went both ways, and they each became the disciples of their favorite elders.
The remaining seven will be re-selected in the second round.
Yang Ruo looked eagerly at the lot in the flower stick, his eyes moving back and forth between the lot and Gu Pingsheng: "Master, no one chose you!"
Gu Pingsheng:......
He frowned, not thinking about what went wrong.
Could it be that he didn't hint clearly enough at that time?
"Master, now that the teacher selection is over, can I see the name on the flower draw?" Yang Ruo asked with clear eyes open.
Gu Pingsheng waved his hand, indicating that he was casual.
Yang Ruo stepped forward to retrieve the flower dice, placed it on top, and removed the spell. Two big characters appeared in his eyes - Xu Qiu.
It was her name that was left on Gu Pingsheng's flower signature.
In fact, Gu Pingsheng met Xu Qiu in private as early as after the outer competition. She joined the sect through the Star Sword Order. From the beginning, Gu Pingsheng was ordered to pay more attention to her and Xu Jianjia.
Xu Qiu's inability to break through to the fifth level was, in general, a hidden danger. He was afraid that it would affect Xu Qiu's performance in the outer sect competition. Gu Pingsheng only told her about this after the outer sect competition was over and the ranking was confirmed.
What he meant was that if Xu Qiu worshiped under his name, he would take more care of her. However, Gu Pingsheng did not expect that Xu Qiu would still choose other elders after knowing about it.
Not only was Gu Pingsheng puzzled by this matter, but several other sect elders were also a little confused. Among the top ten middle schools in the inner sect, four of them were students of Elder Gu, but none of them chose him.
Even Yang Ruo, who had always been slow, felt the probing and comforting glances from all directions. He opened his mouth and said, "Master, although no one chooses you, you can still choose a disciple!"
The elders of the sect can choose disciples from the remaining thirty disciples, and they can be accepted as direct disciples, named disciples, or unnamed disciples.
Yang Ruo turned his eyes around and was about to say Jiang Xin's name when the purple-clothed woman next to him, Zi Wan from Yuzhi Peak, said, "Headmaster, how about that youngest girl, please be my registered disciple?"
Zi Yuan saw that she had already broken through to the middle stage of the second level at the age of fourteen. She was very talented and could be made into something, so she thought of accepting her as a registered disciple first, and after examining her character, she considered accepting her as a direct disciple. disciple.
Zi Wan was not the only one who took a fancy to Jiang Xin, but the other party spoke first, so the elders who were a little slower had no choice but to hold back their words.
Why are you so slow to take over your apprentice every time?
Yang Ruo closed her mouth tightly and looked at her master Gu Pingsheng and senior brother Liang Heng silently.
Shen Hongxue did not directly agree, but looked at Gu Pingsheng. Although he did not say anything, everyone understood the meaning. The headmaster almost asked Gu Pingsheng directly, do you want this apprentice? If not, I will give it to Master Zi Wan.
Gu Pingsheng smiled faintly and said calmly: "Since Master Ziyuan has eyes for this girl Jiang Xin, how can I win her love with a knife?"
Aster breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face.
Although Yang Ruo was a little disappointed that he could no longer have a junior sister, he was also happy that Jiang Xin could be Master Zi Wan's apprentice.
He had a simple mind, thinking that since everyone had entered the inner sect, if Jiang Xin was the only one among the five who failed to become a direct disciple, without a master, there would definitely be a sense of gap.
Now that Master Ziyuan has accepted her as his disciple, everyone is happy.
Yang Ruo knew what elders meant by accepting named disciples. If they chose direct disciples in the future, they would choose them from here.
The teacher selection ceremony ended, and the group headed to the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
A few disciples stayed to clean up the place. Under the sweeping technique, the petals on the ground rolled up and gathered in a pile.
The ribbons hanging on the pillars were also torn off and put away.
When a female disciple was collecting flower sticks, she saw that the pear blossoms were snow-white, trembling, and absolutely beautiful. She thought about taking them back to put in a vase later. She picked out the pear blossoms, and a flower stick fell out.
After looking left and right, the woman picked up the bouquet. The magic spell on it had dissipated, revealing the strict and dignified handwriting, which read the words "Ning Fusang".

Hidden Sword Pavilion.
The process of entering the Hidden Sword Pavilion is very troublesome. Generally speaking, you need to report three days in advance. As early as the start of the outer competition, Shen Hongxue has already reported at the Hidden Sword Pavilion. All the tedious procedures are handled by Li Jinzhen. Yes, so everyone only needs to register their name to enter the Hidden Sword Pavilion to choose a spiritual sword.
The door of the Hidden Sword Pavilion is open. After entering, there is an empty main hall. There is another door above the nine steps in the corner. Inside is the real Hidden Sword Pavilion.
The rest of the disciples were waiting under the steps, waiting for the top ten to select their spiritual swords before they could enter.
"The Sect's Hidden Sword Pavilion contains tens of thousands of spiritual swords, ranging from the first level to the ninth level. They are all equipped with seals. It is impossible to judge the level of the spiritual swords from their breath. Therefore, you can choose What kind of spiritual sword you get depends entirely on luck, but remember, don’t touch it if you are not completely sure that you want it.”
Shen Hongxue reminded everyone of the things to pay attention to when choosing a spirit sword.
The two gatekeepers, after receiving Shen Hongxue's signal, took out their tokens and inserted them into the recesses of the door. Circles of aura emerged from the plain and simple door.
The two of them formed a seal with their hands and made a very complicated gesture. They moved their mouths and recited ancient sayings silently. Their spiritual light was like water, stirring slowly, forming a reverse vortex that gradually expanded. "Go ahead."
The old woman guarding the gate had her eyelids drooping and said calmly without raising her eyes.
Ten people, including Ning Fusang, Shen Tu Lei, and Xu Qiu, entered the passage one after another. When their figures disappeared, the light on the door also disappeared instantly.
The dazzling light made Ning Fusang close her eyes slightly. When she opened her eyes again, she was already under a vast starry sky.
Ning Fusang looked around and saw no one else. He guessed that everyone was separated after entering the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
She seemed to be stepping on the water, and the water made a faint sound with every step she took.
There are no sword stands, large or small, in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and there are no various floating swords around. There are only stars in the sky, or a group of lights that is more appropriate.
Some light groups are brighter, and some stars are dim, big or small, bright or dark, forming this mysterious starry sky.
And inside the light group is the sealed spiritual sword.
Ning Fusang walked up and down, feeling that the palms of her hands were slightly hot, as if something was about to come out.
It's the sword heart picture.
It sensed the whereabouts of Su's sword.
Unexpectedly, Su Ajian was actually in the Hidden Sword Pavilion. Are the people of the Southern Star Sword Sect really not afraid that it will be picked up?
Ning Fusang firmly suppressed the sword heart diagram. In the sea of consciousness, Qian Yuan's voice sounded: "Fusang, there was a slight riot in the sword heart diagram. What happened?"
In fact, even though Qianyuan lives in the Sword Heart Diagram, he still doesn't understand what the Jianxin Diagram is. Qianyuan only vaguely knows that it seems to be a spell?
Ning Fusang asked: "As a dragon, with strong defense, can you bear with this violent sword energy?"
Qianyuan was taciturn and hummed.
Then Ning Fusang cut off the connection with it, closed her eyes, and sensed the spiritual sword.
Countless light balls, like fireflies, flew towards her, but they all stayed three inches away. Ning Fusang raised his hand and approached a ball of light. The ball of light flickered a few times, seeming very happy.
Ning Fusang raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "Go."
The light group dimmed instantly and flew away in a flash.
A few small groups of light around him swayed a few times, then flew away and returned to the sky.
There were still many light groups around Ning Fusang. She finally stopped in front of a group of light that was neither bright and high-profile nor dark and introverted.
When he reached out and touched it, the halo disappeared, revealing a plain sword.
Outside the Hidden Sword Pavilion, the gatekeeper and Shen Hongxue looked inside at the same time.
Under the starlight in the sky, an elegant figure condensed. When Ning Fusang saw it, he raised his hands and saluted: "Headmaster."
The man said gently: "Don't be nervous, I'm just a flash of spiritual thought."
He looked sideways and asked, "Did you choose this sword?"
Ning Fusang looked natural and nodded: "Yes."
She chose So Ah Sword.
Ning Fusang was thinking, did Shen Hongxue appear at this time to stop her from taking away Su'ajian?
If Shen Hongxue asked her to change her sword, she could only change it. Even if there is no chance in the future, he can enter the Cangjian Pavilion openly.
Shen Hongxue asked: "Do you know the name of this sword?"
There was no emotion in his tone, and it was impossible to guess what was in his heart. Ning Fusang said without changing his expression: "We haven't had time to see."
She wasn't lying. The fact that she didn't have time to read the sword's name did not conflict with the fact that she knew it was Su'a sword.
Shen Hongxue pointed her finger, and the long sword fluttered towards Ning Fusang.
"This sword is called Su'a, the mountain-holding sword of the Nanxing Sword Sect." Shen Hongxue said slowly, "It has been stored in the Sword Pavilion and has not seen the light of day for thousands of years. Countless people have come to the Hidden Sword Pavilion but have never found it. it."
"You are lucky, and you are also destined to Su'Ajian. It chose you."
Choosing swords in Hidden Sword Pavilion is not only a matter of people choosing swords, but also people choosing swords.
This is Su Ajian's choice, and Shen Hongxue will not interfere too much.
What's more, this is also the sect's rule. Every inner disciple has the opportunity to come to the Hidden Sword Pavilion and take away a sword.
Regardless of grade.
In fact, both Shen Hongxue and Duanmu Meiqing hope that Li Jinzhen can find this sword. She is the senior sister of the Nanxing Sword Sect, and she is the most suitable to master the Su'a sword.
Li Jinzhen came to the Hidden Sword Pavilion, but all he found was a ninth-level spiritual sword, Hexing.
Ning Fusang was slightly surprised when Shen Hongxue said so much to her, but no matter what, he didn't stop him from taking Su Ajian away. The situation was much better than she thought.
Suddenly, Shen Hongxue changed the topic: "However, with your current level of cultivation, you will be in a lot of trouble if you hold the Su'a sword."
"I set three seals on the sword. When your realm breaks through the realm of knowledge, one of the seals will be unlocked until you reach the realm of knowledge. When you can protect this Su'a sword, all the seals will be unlocked."
There have been speculations within the sect that the head of the Nanxing Sword Sect has broken through the realm. In fact, only he and Duanmu Meiqing know what realm Shen Hongxue is.
When Ning Fusang heard that the third seal set by Shen Hongxue could only be unlocked when she passed through the realm, she thought that Shen Hongxue was in the twelfth realm, and only a strong person who had passed through the realm could set such a seal. seal.
However, Shen Hongxue smiled, raised his hands and bowed casually in one direction: "Uncle, please lend a helping hand to my nephew."
Ning Fusang was shocked, but at the same time he was glad that he had suppressed the sword heart diagram and prevented it from appearing in the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
A shadow of an immortal spirit appeared behind Shen Hongxue, but did not make a move for the time being. Su'a sword flew into the air and was struck with the first seal.
When it came to the third level of sealing, the old man lent his power to Shen Hongxue, and a strong seal fell into the Su'a sword.
Afterwards, the old man's figure disappeared, and Ning Fusang knew that it was just a touch of spiritual thought, which should have reached the level of enlightenment, so the remaining spiritual thought could still arrange a seal with the strength of the realm. It’s just that once the power of divine thoughts is used up, it will cease to exist.
Shen Hongxue returned the sword to Ning Fusang.
"Now it's just an ordinary sixth-level spiritual sword. You can give it a new name."
Ning Fusang understood what Shen Hongxue meant. He meant that she could take out this sword and use it in front of others.
No one would have thought that Su'a, the sword of mountain control, would appear in front of people openly.
