After dinner, everyone went back to their own courtyards to rest.
Su Ru coaxed Xiao Linger back to her room to sleep.
Then she went to the backyard of the Hall of Quietude and chatted with Tian Buyi in his room.
"Buyi, the Dragon-Slaying Sword in Changfeng's hands..."
Su Ru's tone was a bit puzzled.
She still didn't understand why Cangsong had given the Dragon-Slaying Sword to Ji Changfeng.
"Sigh..."
Tian Buyi sighed softly.
He put on his clothes and slowly walked to the window, his gaze fixed on the starry night sky. He said, "Junior Sister, do you think…"
"Does Old Seven resemble Senior Brother Wan?"
As soon as he said this.
Su Ru's body trembled.
In her mind, she couldn't help but recall the Dragon-Slaying Sword's master, filled with spirit. How similar was he to Changfeng?! They were both so confident, so proud, so peerless!
In Su Ru's mind.
The two spirited figures slowly merged, but… the previous generation's Dragon-Slaying Sword master had already fallen, and now the new Dragon-Slaying Sword master had appeared—
Ji Changfeng!
"Similar! But..."
Su Ru's tone was somewhat calm as she said, "Changfeng's talent is even higher than Senior Brother Wan's, isn't it?"
"He is not a substitute for Senior Brother Wan."
"He will lead the Qingyun Sect, lead Dazhu Peak to even greater glory!"
Ji Changfeng was not a substitute for anyone.
One day, when people think of the Dragon-Slaying Sword, when they think of Slaying Ghosts and Gods, the first person they will think of will be Ji Changfeng, not Wan Jianyi...
Su Ru firmly believed this in her heart.
Because, since the last time she witnessed Ji Changfeng wielding Tianya and performing Sword Opens Heavenly Gate on Xiaozhu Peak, she understood one thing...
This era—is called Ji Changfeng!
He will be more brilliant, more dazzling than Wan Jianyi.
Tian Buyi was slightly stunned.
A smile appeared on his face: "Yes, Old Seventh's talent is higher than Senior Brother Wan's, perhaps..."
"Cangsong is also thinking this way, right?"
Cangsong: I am not, I don't have it, don't talk nonsense!
On the other side.
In the small courtyard, a gentle breeze brushed past.
The gentle moonlight quietly cascaded over the earth, as if draping the world in a silver veil. The distant mountains, veiled in the moonlight, appeared indistinct, resembling a hazy ink painting.
Ji Changfeng sat cross-legged on the bed.
Across his knees lay two divine swords.
Ink Snow! Dragon-Slaying Sword!
"Shhh!"
A wisp of faint sword intent washed over the divine swords, nurturing their sentience bit by bit.
"Clang—"
The two celestial weapons occasionally emitted a crisp sound of the sword, as if carrying a trace of joy...
Ji Changfeng was immersed in his cultivation.
Completely oblivious to everything happening around him.
His cultivation was at the fifth level of Jade Clarity...
It was still too weak.
So, he decided to cultivate a little.
He'd try to break through to the Superior Clarity Realm, just for fun.
Ji Changfeng's eyes were tightly shut as he cultivated. Four years passed in the blink of an eye...
Four years later.
Dazhu Peak, Taiji Cave.
Ji Changfeng sat cross-legged on a futon, with a pill furnace in front of him. The bottom of the furnace was constantly heated by high-temperature flames.
A faint medicinal fragrance drifted through the air.
"Open!"
The next moment, Ji Changfeng slammed the pill furnace.
"Boom——"
In an instant, light radiated in all directions.
A batch of top-grade Beauty-Preserving Pills had just been produced.
In the past four years, Ji Changfeng had been immersed in cultivation. At the same time, he had also taken some time to learn alchemy, refining artifacts, and array formations…
Of course, he hadn't neglected his swordsmanship either.
Besides the Two Sleeves of Azure Snake, Sword Opens Heavenly Gate, and Slaying Ghosts and Gods True Technique, he had also gradually mastered the other major sword techniques of the Qingyun Sect.
During this time, he had also comprehended a new sword technique.
Its name was— Heaven and Earth Sword!
Ji Changfeng hadn't tested the power of this sword technique yet, but frankly, it was definitely not weaker than the other sword techniques…
"Dong dong dong—"
At that moment, a series of knocking sounds came from outside the Taiji Cave.
Ji Changfeng raised his eyes slightly.
He casually unleashed a burst of sword energy, activating the mechanism at the "cave entrance."
Crack—
The stone door slowly opened.
A pretty girl peeked inside, her eyes bright and pure. Her skin, as white as jade, surpassed even the snow in its fairness, tinged with a delicate pink that made her incredibly beautiful.
The girl walked into the Taiji Cave, carrying a food box. She couldn't help but complain, "Hey! Ji Changfeng, what's so fun about staying in this cave all day?"
"It's always either refining pills or practicing swordsmanship, and yet you still make me bring you food..."
Ji Changfeng smiled faintly, "Bring me food? You mean having Xiaofan cook, and then you carry the food box to the cave entrance, and then you pass it to me?"
Tian Linger's pretty face flushed red. "What? What's wrong? Just say it, didn't I bring the food for you?!"
The girl was indeed Tian Linger.
Four years had passed, and she had grown into a young woman.
At least, she was much prettier than the little girl she used to be, and much more... feminine.
"Yes, yes, yes, Little Senior Sister." Ji Changfeng took the food container, saying it somewhat perfunctorily.
His gaze swept towards the mouth of the cave, and he said: "Xiaofan? What are you doing standing out there? Come in already?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan cautiously poked half his body into the cave, and said: "Seventh Senior Brother, aren't you in closed-door cultivation?"
"My closed-door cultivation is over," Ji Changfeng replied casually.
"Oh, okay."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan cautiously entered the Taiji Cave.
Ji Changfeng, while eating, asked, "Xiaofan, how's your cultivation coming along lately? Have you broken through the sixth level of Jade Clarity?"
"Not yet, but I'm close." Zhang Xiaofan scratched his head.
In the past four years, he had broken the record of Dazhu Peak's cultivation history. He had only reached the first level of Jade Clarity, and it had taken him nearly a year to achieve...
Because of this, he had been ridiculed by many of his senior brothers.
After all, no matter how poor someone's aptitude was, it would take at most a few months to reach the first level of Jade Clarity.
Yet, Zhang Xiaofan had taken a year!
Ji Changfeng was very clear about the inside story.
The reason Zhang Xiaofan cultivated so slowly was because he was cultivating both Buddhist and Taoist techniques. He started slowly, but his foundation was solid.
Simply put, he was a late bloomer.
Because of this, after Zhang Xiaofan broke through to the Jade Clarity First Layer, Ji Changfeng would occasionally give him some pointers, which immediately caused Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation to advance rapidly...
In three years, he directly broke through to the Jade Clarity Fifth Layer!
It could be said that this shocked the entire Dazhu Peak.
"Ah? Xiaofan, you're about to break through to the Jade Clarity Sixth Layer?" Tian Linger was taken aback.
She was only at the Jade Clarity Seventh Layer herself.
Zhang Xiaofan was about to catch up to her?!
"It's all thanks to Seventh Senior Brother." Zhang Xiaofan scratched his head, looking rather simple.
His eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Ji Changfeng.
In his opinion,
If it weren't for Ji Changfeng's guidance,
he wouldn't have broken through to the fifth level of Jade Clarity so quickly.
Ji Changfeng waved his hand casually and said, "Xiaofan, you were destined to be a late bloomer. I just gave you a little help."
Even without his help,
according to the original timeline, Zhang Xiaofan would probably be close to the fourth level of Jade Clarity by now.
Ji Changfeng finished the food from the food box,
then put away the few Beauty-Preserving Pills in the alchemy furnace.
Tian Linger leaned over and asked, "Ji Changfeng, what kind of pill is this?"
Ji Changfeng smiled faintly, "A good pill!"
Seeing this, Tian Linger pouted, feigning disinterest. "Hmph! If you don't want to say, then don't! I'm not even interested!"
"Oh? Really?" Ji Changfeng looked at her with a smile.
"Hmph!"
Tian Linger snorted softly, "I wouldn't want it even if you gave it to me!"
"Alright, alright..." Ji Changfeng chuckled without saying anything.
The Beauty-Preserving Pill, as the name suggests, could keep one's appearance from aging, fixing it at its peak. It was a pill that Ji Changfeng had researched.
This kind of pill isn't very effective.
But, for female cultivators, it's a fatal temptation!
Ji Changfeng slowly walked out of the Taiji Cave.
He had been a disciple of the Qingyun Sect for five years.
Now that the five-year period was up, it was time for the Dragon King to return...
Bah!
It was time to see the world! ...
