Brother, why is he like this?

Back at Songxue Residence, Shen Lingyuan left Ye Tan to meditate in the cold pool, comprehending the new exercises taught by Elder Qing Xiao, while he dug out the sword Liuyun from the foundation building in the quiet room.

After the disciples of Jianzong arrive at the Jindan Realm, the sect will order the disciples of Jianlu to forge a spirit sword for them.This spirit sword was jointly forged by Jindan disciples and Jianlu disciples. It is mixed with the aura of the person holding the sword, and there is a connection between the sword spirit and its master.People live with swords, people die with swords, this is the exclusive saber for the disciples of Jianzong.Shen Lingyuan's current Kunwu Sword is such a spiritual sword.

Before Jindan, the disciples used ordinary sabers.Liuyun is a spiritual sword that Shen Lingyuan got by chance when he was building the foundation. The sword is three feet long, thin and transparent, the sword light is like water, small and light.After having Kunwu, Shen Lingyuan sealed Liuyun and kept it in the sword box.

Now Shen Lingyuan is planning to give Liuyun to Ye Tan.

While wiping the sword, he suddenly heard movement outside the room, so he hurriedly put down the sword and went out to have a look.I saw weeds growing wildly in the courtyard, pine needles rustled and fell, and new ones grew immediately, green and shiny; the ground kept trembling, but the tree roots kept spreading around like alive, the ground was uplifted, and the bluestone slabs "clicked". fracture.

The surging aura frantically gathered towards the backyard as if it had substance.

this... this is...

Shen Lingyuan stepped down and flew to the edge of the cold pool.

Ye Tan's whole body was buried under the water, and the gathered spiritual energy poured into his body continuously from the palm of his hand and the altar, and he calmed down after a cup of tea.

The flat mirror-like pool of water suddenly shattered, and the water droplets splashed. Ye Tan stood up from the water, her jacket was tightly attached to her body, her long wet hair was draped over her shoulders like flowing ink, her moistened face was as white as fine porcelain.

He slowly opened his eyes, his eyelashes trembling with water vapor, his eyes were shining like white glaze, and his whole body was as delicate and gorgeous as a puppet.

"Brother, I have established the foundation."

Shen Lingyuan: ...

Is it too fast?

Ye Tan walked ashore slowly towards Shen Lingyuan's direction, and the water vapor in his body was melted away by the operation of spiritual power, and he looked at him silently, as if waiting for something.

Shen Lingyuan exclaimed: "Congratulations, junior brother, for successfully establishing the foundation."

Ye Tan pursed her lips.

Shen Lingyuan smiled, turned and walked towards the quiet room.

Ye Tan silently followed behind.

Shen Lingyuan picked up Liuyun, which was still being wiped, from the case, and put it in front of Ye Tan: "This is the sword I used when I established the foundation, named Liuyun, and now I give it to you, do you like it?"

Ye Tan took the sword and pulled it out of its sheath, suddenly felt that the aura was compelling, it was actually a spiritual sword.Spiritual swords are hard to come by, and for a sword cultivator sect as big as Jianzong, only Jindan Daoist people are qualified to have them.For Ye Tan, although the spirit sword is precious, it is not as important as the sword that his senior brother used to have.

Gently stroking the decoration on the scabbard, Ye Tan lowered her head, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and slowly revealed a smile, like the first thaw of winter snow, and the spring breeze waking up the peach blossoms in the mountains.

"Thank you brother, I like it very much."

Shen Lingyuan looked at the smile on the lips of the young boy who always had a cold face, and was slightly dazed.Since seeing Ye Tan for the first time, he has never seen Ye Tan smile.

Really cute and cute when he smiles.

Of course, she's always cute too.

With a light cough, Shen Lingyuan said seriously: "There are still three months until the Zongmen Grand Competition."

The big competition is a competition for the ring, once every two years.One is to check the cultivation of the disciples, and the other is to let the disciples discuss and encourage each other, to see their own shortcomings, and to learn from others.Only the inner sect disciples of the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Golden Core Stage can participate, each of them will judge the top performers in the contest and reward pills, spirit stones, exercises, weapons, etc.

Ye Tan established his foundation at this time, and he is already qualified to participate in the Grand Competition.

Ye Tan didn't let go of Liuyun's grip, and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely win the ranking in the competition."

There are 100 disciples of Jianzong, and the foundation building period is the most, among which there are about [-] inner disciples.How easy is it to stand out among more than [-] disciples and enter the top five?What's more, Ye Tan has just established the foundation, and there are many brothers who have successfully established the foundation, and it is almost impossible to challenge them.Shen Lingyuan shook his head and said, "Don't force it."

Ye Tan lowered his head, not saying yes or no.

Shen Lingyuan asked: "How is your swordsmanship?"

Elder Dan Xiao taught some new sword skills today, and the moves are more complicated.Ye Tan has learned to release his spiritual sense to perceive the fluctuation of spiritual energy when practicing swordsmanship, and then knows the movement of body skills.But I want to practice swords with my brother...

Ye Tan's ears were reddish, and he whispered: "Elder Dan Xiao has newly taught Liangyi swordsmanship, I haven't learned it yet..."

Shen Lingyuan understood, smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll teach you." He walked into the courtyard first.

Ye Tan was full of joy, grabbing Liu Yun and briskly followed behind.

After teaching another set of sword skills hand in hand, it was already dark, Ye Tan put the sword back into its sheath, and raised his head towards Shen Lingyuan's direction.

Even though Ye Tan's eyes were blocked by the ribbon, Shen Lingyuan still read the meaning of "seeking praise" from his expression... although he didn't look expressionless.

However, Ye Tan is really powerful. It is obviously the first time he practiced swordsmanship, but his moves are round and round, without the slightest sense of stagnation.Shen Lingyuan has never been stingy with complimenting others. At this moment, he touched Ye Tan's head and said, "You practiced very well."

Ye Tan gently rubbed against his palm.

Shen Lingyuan felt that his heart had turned into a puddle of water.

Obsessed with raising children, unable to extricate themselves.

In the early morning of the next day, after Ye Tan went to the Tai Chi Hall, Shen Lingyuan swung his sword for another two hours before meditating in the cold pool.When meditating, you need to empty your mind and have no distracting thoughts. Shen Lingyuan has been doing this for many years.However, this meditation did not go well, and it was difficult to settle down after several attempts.

Is it because he is about to break through the early stage of Jindan and enter the middle stage?

However, he didn't experience this kind of bottleneck period when he formed alchemy.

Shen Lingyuan felt depressed, so he simply decided to go out for a walk.He came to the deacon's hall to see what tasks were available in the hall.

At this time, the Tai Chi Hall was not closed yet, and there were not many people in the deacon hall, only a few Jindan disciples were watching the entrustment or handing in tasks.When they saw Shen Lingyuan coming, they greeted each other warmly. Shen Lingyuan returned the greetings one by one, and then looked up to the north.

On the northernmost side is a large wall covered with jade sticks.

"Sort out the books on the first floor of the Library Pavilion for one month, one spirit stone every three days."

This is the favorite task of the disciples in the Foundation Establishment Period.The books returned after borrowing need to be rearranged and placed on the bookshelves, so that they are not dirty or tiring, and there are many spirit stones.It has just been released now, and it will definitely be the first to be picked up after class in the Tai Chi Hall.

But Ye Tan's eyes are inconvenient, next one.

"Take care of medicinal herbs for Elder Qingxiao for half a month, one spirit stone every five days. Note: It is required to have completed one year of elixir class and have relevant experience."

Ye Tan definitely likes to take care of herbs, but...Elder Qing Xiao is too demanding and stingy.

"The nine-tailed snakes in the Kunlun Icefield are making trouble. I hope to kill them. Fifty spirit stones."

Dealing with the Nine-Tailed Snake is a bit dangerous. Ye Tan has just built his foundation, so it's better to change it to something a little easier.

"There are tree demons making trouble in the forest near Lingfeng Village. Let's get rid of them. Twenty spirit stones."

Shen Lingyuan's eyes were fixed.This is acceptable.

Just after the application time, the Taiji Peak bell rang, and the young disciples walked out of the Taiji Hall in twos and threes, talking and laughing.

Shen Lingyuan frowned.

Ye Tan's thin figure was isolated on the vast martial arts arena, and there was no one around.As if hearing the sound of footsteps, Ye Tan suddenly raised his head and turned in this direction, sweeping away the haze covering his whole body.

"Brother."

Shen Lingyuan laughed: "How do you know it's me?"

Ye Tan raised his head and said, "Brother's footsteps are different from others."

No, I smelled the incense of requiem from my senior brother.

Shen Lingyuan didn't speak anymore, sacrificed Kunwu, let Ye Tan step on it, stood behind him and put his arms around his shoulders, and said, "Let's go, let's fight the tree demon."

Ye Tan was startled slightly.

Lingfeng Village is located in the southeast of Kunlun Mountain, about [-] miles away from Kunlun Ice Field.Kun Wu, who was flying fast in mid-air, slowed down at the edge of the village and landed lightly with the two of them.Shen Lingyuan took Kunwu in and led Ye Tan into the village.

Lingfeng Village is small and ordinary, with a street running from north to south in the middle, covered with snow, it looks very bleak.The houses on both sides are low and scattered, and there are about dozens of families.

Shen Lingyuan frowned slightly.

He looked at a house at the end of the long street. A faded wine flag was hung on the door of the house, fluttering in the cold wind.

According to the jade lottery, the entrusted person in Lingfeng Village is a restaurant owner, and it seems to be this one.

Shen Lingyuan took Ye Tan's hand and walked towards the wine shop.

The long street is deserted and there are no traces of people. The doors of the houses along the way are closed, but you can feel that there are pairs of eyes hiding in the dark and peeping quietly, exuding a murderous aura in the desolation.

Shen Lingyuan didn't look sideways, as if he didn't notice anything.

Suddenly, a figure pounced on the slanting stab without a sound!With sharp eyes and quick hands, Shen Lingyuan pulled Ye Tan behind him to protect him, avoiding the approaching figures, and the two passed by.

The man stopped about three feet away from the two of them and stared at them, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily.

Shen Lingyuan was slightly surprised.This person has a strange breath, his speed is far beyond ordinary people, and he looks like an ordinary villager in his clothes.

The man missed the catch, and stretched out his five fingers like hooks again, and the target was clearly Ye Tan!Shen Lingyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his right hand slashed down like a bolt of lightning, slashing at the man's neck.

The man fell to the ground without a sound.

"Son-"

A cry came from the nearby house, and the door of the room opened wide with a "wow", and a woman rushed out, threw herself on the man and wailed, "My son, what's wrong with you?"

She raised her head, with a fierce look on her face, and looked at Shen Lingyuan bitterly: "What did you do to my son?"

This man was clearly spying in the room just now, instead of saying that his son was the first to commit murder and wounding, he accused Shen Lingyuan instead.

Shen Lingyuan stepped forward and said gently to the woman: "Madam, your son is fine, he just passed out."

The woman stopped crying and looked up and down at Shen Lingyuan and Ye Tan.

The doors of the rooms opened wide, and a few pairs of eyes full of surprise and inquiry protruded from them.

Shen Lingyuan squatted down, trying to check the man who fell on the ground.The woman subconsciously blocked it, but flinched when she saw the sword Shen Lingyuan was carrying with her.

Shen Lingyuan rolled up the man's eyelids to look, and then checked his veins again.

There is no cultivation base, but there is magic energy.

It seems that things are not as simple as the dryad.

He glanced at the villagers who were watching secretly, and said to the woman: "We are members of the Sword Sect, and we are ordered to come here to eliminate demons."

The woman opened her eyes wide when she heard the words, tears rolled down, and said, "You...are you immortals on Kunlun Mountain?"

Shen Lingyuan nodded slightly.

The woman immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Immortal, you are here! Please...please save my son!"
