Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 41 – You couldn’t possibly be the reincarnation of an Immortal Venerable, could you?

After grasping the Demon-Slaying Sword Intent, Meng Fan indeed had new insights into the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique at different levels.

In fact, if Meng Fan had the chance to slay two demon race beings right now, his insights would be even more profound!

However, there was no opportunity for demon slaying at the moment.

Returning to the first floor of the Sword Pavilion, Meng Fan continued to instruct Liu Yanping in the sword techniques.

Meng Fan wondered if the results would be better if he let Liu Yanping ponder over the Demon Locking Sword.

But that was just wishful thinking.

Firstly, Elder Lin would never let Liu Yanping ponder over the Demon Locking Sword. Allowing Meng Fan to do so was already a sign of favoritism, and Liu Yanping certainly didn't have that privilege.

Secondly, Liu Yanping was too dull; even if she were given the Demon Locking Sword, it was doubtful she could comprehend anything from it.

Only with Meng Fan's hands-on teaching could she achieve any breakthrough!

Finally, on the third day, under Meng Fan's guidance, Liu Yanping mastered the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique.

Then, Liu Yanping gave Meng Fan a hundred Spirit Stones and left the Sword Pavilion in a hurry.

Today was the day for Outer Sect Disciples to go out for experiential training, and if she delayed any longer, she might really miss it.

"If you want to go out for training, you could actually sign up, because your status is equivalent to that of an Outer Sect Disciple, and you've also mastered the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique," Senior Disciple Luo appeared beside Meng Fan and said.

This guy, thinking Meng Fan was reluctant to part with Liu Yanping, said so.

Meng Fan could only helplessly shake his head, too lazy to explain.

With a hundred Spirit Stones in his pocket, he left the Sword Pavilion excitedly and headed to the Sword God Temple.

He now had a total of one hundred and forty Spirit Stones, enough for him to indulge once more at the Sword God Stele.

Even after spending a hundred, he would still have forty Spirit Stones left, enough to get by!

There was no helping it; the Sword God Stele's allure was too great for Meng Fan.

With more than a hundred Spirit Stones on him, it was hard for him to resist the urge to comprehend the Sword God Stele.

After arriving at the Sword God Temple and handing over a hundred Spirit Stones, Meng Fan began to comprehend the Sword God Stele.

With the experience from last time, this time Meng Fan was much more at ease.

Moreover, business at the Sword God Stele wasn't good today; aside from Meng Fan, there was no second person comprehending it at the same time.

He had the place to himself!

Meng Fan sat cross-legged, placed both hands on the Sword God Stele, and closed his eyes.

The next second, countless profound mysteries surged into his mind.

Just like last time, Meng Fan's comprehension was still of the Primordial Great Way of the Sword!

Last time's comprehension had already given Meng Fan a preliminary understanding of the Primordial Way.

With this foundation, Meng Fan believed that this time's comprehension would be even more fruitful!

Time spent comprehending the Sword God Stele always flew by.

It was the same last time; it felt like only a moment had passed when the allotted time was up, even though it was supposed to be an hour.

That's why Meng Fan had previously asked Elder Lin for a lion's share, hoping to comprehend the Sword God Stele for ten days and nights!

Even then, Meng Fan couldn't guarantee that he would fully grasp the Primordial Great Way of the Sword within the Sword God Stele.

The manager of the Sword God Stele patted Meng Fan's shoulder and said, "An hour has passed, do you want to add more time?"

Meng Fan shook his head.

Adding another hour would cost a hundred Spirit Stones, and he really couldn't afford that.

Leaving the Sword God Temple, Meng Fan was still immersed in the comprehension and understanding of the Primordial Great Way of the Sword.

Although it was only an hour of comprehension, Meng Fan's understanding of the Sword Technique had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Because Meng Fan's foundation in the Sword Technique was still shallow, each comprehension allowed him to make qualitative leaps.

Not to mention anything else, like the Thunderous Sword Technique, Meng Fan had already directly cultivated it to the level of Sword Rhyme.

With a wave of his hand, even without using the True Qi in his body, he could slash out a thunderous Sword Qi.

Walking back to the Sword Pavilion, Meng Fan drew the Hong Qi Sword and swung it towards the sky, releasing a thunderous Sword Qi from the sword, slashing towards the horizon.

The Sword Qi was like a startled swan, faintly accompanied by the sound of thunder!

Meng Fan nodded in satisfaction; this was just a small perk from comprehending the Sword God Stele.

The help from the Sword God Stele was far more than that.

After returning to the Sword Pavilion and night had fallen, Meng Fan went back to his room to cultivate.

For the past three days, in order to earn those hundred Spirit Stones, he had been teaching Liu Yanping the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique, and his own cultivation had fallen behind.

"Yesterday, after coming into contact with the Demon Locking Sword, I absorbed a great deal of the Essence of the Sword, which will definitely help my cultivation!" Meng Fan thought to himself, then eagerly began his cultivation.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he began to cultivate both the Spirit Wind Profound Art and the Pure Yang Thunder Cultivation Scripture simultaneously.

Although he had taken both the Qi Gathering Pill and Spirit Gathering Liquid, their effects were almost negligible in the face of the vast Essence of the Sword.

In the latter half of the night, a strong aura burst forth from Meng Fan's body.

The fourth level of Qi Refining!

Meng Fan's face showed excitement.

The Essence of the Sword that surged into his body from the Demon Locking Sword was indeed astonishing; just half a night's practice had allowed him to break through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level.

And Meng Fan could feel that he had consumed less than one-tenth of the Essence of the Sword in his body; there was still a lot left!

"If I refine and absorb all this Essence of the Sword, perhaps my cultivation could reach the ninth level of Qi Refining," Meng Fan murmured in surprise.

It was a double blessing; the comprehension of the Sword God Stele had transformed his Sword Technique cultivation.

And the Essence of the Sword passed on to Meng Fan by the Demon Locking Sword had also made his True Qi cultivation soar!

The phantom of Hong Qi emerged from the Hong Qi Sword.

"Congratulations, Master, on your breakthrough."

Meng Fan smiled and said, "Lucky me, I absorbed quite a bit of the Essence of the Sword from the Demon Locking Sword. This is truly an unexpected joy."

Hong Qi said, "It's because of Master's exceptional talent. Besides you, I haven't seen anyone who can absorb the Essence of the Sword from a Sword Weapon. So many have come into contact with the Demon Locking Sword, but only Master had this opportunity!"

Unconsciously, Hong Qi had started to evolve into Meng Fan's simp.

This was a subconscious admiration for Meng Fan, and after spending time with him, she realized just how outstanding Meng Fan was, even to the point of her admiration.

Previously, she thought that choosing Meng Fan was a condescension on her part.

Now, she felt that being able to follow Meng Fan was her fortune, and she even felt a bit unworthy of him.

There was no helping it; when two people are together, and one of them is particularly outstanding, the other can't help but feel a bit inferior.

The next day at the Dragon Hour, Meng Fan, as usual, came to the second floor of the Sword Pavilion to see Elder Lin.

"Eh~~~~~~~" Elder Lin looked at Meng Fan in surprise, letting out a long, drawn-out "eh."

"You lad, you've reached the fourth level of Qi Refining?"

No wonder Elder Lin was astonished!

Although he knew Meng Fan's talent in the Sword Technique was heaven-defying, Meng Fan was ultimately a Mixed Spiritual Root, and his cultivation talent was lacking, so his cultivation realm was expected to lag.

But in reality, Meng Fan's cultivation speed was not slow, even a bit shockingly fast.

This was against common sense!

Elder Lin was very clear that when Meng Fan first entered the Sword Pavilion, he wasn't even at the Qi Cultivation Realm, without a trace of True Qi in his body.

How long had it been, and now he was at the fourth level of Qi Refining?

"Although I gave you Spirit Gathering Liquid, it shouldn't have made your cultivation speed so fast," Elder Lin said, full of doubt.

Meng Fan smiled slightly and said to Elder Lin, "Master, today's surprise is not just this!"

"What other surprises are there?" Elder Lin looked at Meng Fan in astonishment.

"Clang—" Meng Fan drew the Hong Qi Sword.

Then, with a casual swing, a Sword Qi passed through the Hong Qi Sword and slashed towards Elder Lin.

This wasn't an act of disrespect or betrayal; it was just Meng Fan practicing his Sword Technique in front of Elder Lin.

If Elder Lin got hurt by his own Sword Technique, that would be outrageous.

"Whoosh~~~~~"

The Sword Qi was fast, but when it was still a full ten feet away from Elder Lin, the Sword Qi automatically dissipated into nothingness.

Although the Sword Qi vanished and couldn't harm a single hair on Elder Lin, Elder Lin still looked at Meng Fan, dumbfounded.

"You've cultivated the Thunderous Sword Rhyme already?" Elder Lin's mouth opened wide in disbelief.

Admittedly, Meng Fan had seen the world.

But under such circumstances, it wasn't about whether one had seen the world or not; this was...

Elder Lin didn't even know how to describe it anymore!

He had said that if Meng Fan could cultivate the Thunderous Sword Rhyme within three months, he would reward Meng Fan with a storage treasure.

He said this because he thought that even with Meng Fan's talent, cultivating the Thunderous Sword Rhyme within three months would not be an easy task.

But...

It had only been three days, and he had already cultivated the Thunderous Sword Rhyme?

After a while, Elder Lin gradually calmed down.

"You lad, you couldn't possibly be the reincarnation of an Immortal Venerable, could you?" Elder Lin questioned his life.

Can a person really be such a monstrosity?

Even a genius should have limits, right?

Truly outrageous!

Meng Fan laughed, happy to show off his excellence in front of Elder Lin because he knew Elder Lin meant him no harm.

The more excellent he performed, the more earnestly Elder Lin would cultivate him.

At least for these two years, Elder Lin would spare no effort to cultivate him, hoping he would defeat Ye Qinxin.

"Master, you said that if I could cultivate the Thunderous Sword Rhyme within three months, you would reward me with a storage treasure, now..." Meng Fan cheekily said.

Elder Lin smiled wryly, shook his head, then took out a small ring and handed it to Meng Fan.

Meng Fan's heart surged with excitement as he eagerly took the ring.

Is this the legendary storage ring?

"Master, how do I use this?" Meng Fan said excitedly.

"Your realm is too low, and you haven't cultivated Divine Sense, so you can only use this low-level storage ring.

This kind of storage ring has no restrictions; you just need to infuse it with True Qi to use it.

However, if someone else takes this storage ring, they can also easily open it, so you need to be careful about this!"

Hearing Elder Lin's words, Meng Fan nodded, indicating he understood.

It's like high-level storage equipment has a password that others generally can't open.

The low-level storage equipment he had didn't have a password, so anyone could open it.
