However, there are still five years until the next Tianjian Tai sword competition.
Zhao Chun remembered that the leader of the last sword discussion should be Pei Baiyi, the master of Jijian from the Taiyuan Taoist sect. If he could stand out among the sword cultivators in the world, he was probably at least at the level of the sword's artistic conception, which was not something she could defeat in front of her.
"Five years... If I can understand the sword intention and enter the fifth realm within five years, I may not lose if I only talk about the ability of the sword."
She also knows that Pei Baiyi was able to win the championship in sword theory thirty years ago, and will only be stronger thirty years later. However, sword cultivation is always moving forward, and it has not yet been determined. Who can define the outcome?
Before fighting against the outside world, one must first make peace with the inside. If Zhao Chun wants to move forward bravely, he must also make decisions about the surrounding chores.
Whether it is discussing the sword at the Tianjian Platform or comprehending the sword's intention, it can be said to be an afterthought. What is more important at the moment is something else.
"Are the two brothers and sisters still in Tianji City?" She put away all the letters floating in the air and picked out the last one, which was also the first one to be read - the Tong brother and sister in Renning City Certificate of submission.
"It's only the beginning of the month. This greeting card was handed in two days ago...it must be here!" Shi Li didn't dare to make any mistakes and responded quickly.
"Okay," Zhao Shun handed the letter into his hand and said, "I will meet him at Zhaosheng Cliff in three days. You can send the message to Tianji City immediately."
She emphasized the word "immediately", but Shi Li didn't dare to delay for even a moment, so he immediately took the letter and exited the hall. Zhao Shun looked around and saw that the huge Zhaoshengya cave was empty and desolate, so he got up and fled to Dekun Hall.
If you want to increase the number of slaves in the disciple's cave, there are two ways: internal and external. The internal refers to the spirit captives of the sect's Fushou Hall. You can have one at the beginning of the foundation building. After breaking through the condensation yuan, the share will increase to three. From now on, The number of slaves that can be possessed will increase accordingly if they are divided into mysterious beings, merged together, or even become true infants.
As for the outside world, the disciples in the sect will receive additional slaves after leaving the sect to gain experience. They can be monsters, spirits, or human monks. Zhaoyan is not strict about this. As long as his disciples have the financial resources to support him, he will not interfere in this.
The number of spirits in each clan of the sect's beast-fighting hall is around forty or fifty. Even for disciples in the return period, the number of slaves they can receive from them is only a few hundred. Therefore, if you look around the various caves in the sect, there are often tens of thousands of slaves coming and going. In this scenario, the disciples can only be conquered from outside the sect.
Zhaosheng Cliff has a strong aura of gold and fire, which is detrimental to the conduct of ordinary monks. Zhao Chun will not force others to come here. In order to ensure that the slaves can be used for a long time, they also plan to use spirits similar to stone monsters that are not affected by the aura of gold and fire.
Fish demons, grass elves, etc. were all excluded from her mind at first glance. She looked at the roster handed over by the disciples on duty at Dekun Hall. After careful consideration, she ordered fifty demons of the same clan as the stone demons, and the remaining places were given to The essence of the thick soil.
They are a type of monsters that resemble humans in appearance. Their skin is dry and hard, and their limbs and faces are earth-colored. Because the thick soil has the ability to tolerate, the influence of the energy of gold and fire on them is minimal, as long as there is a supply of spiritual jade. By practicing, you can dispel a little bit of the golden and fire energy that enters your body.
In fact, when one reaches the stage of becoming a true disciple, many of the rules set for disciples within the sect no longer apply.
In addition to the three spirit slaves under Ning Yuan's share, it is not impossible for Zhao Shun to choose more. The disciples on duty must not be able to stop her because of her status as a true successor.
But she didn't mean to do that. The three slaves were already in use, so she took two small orders and gave them to the stone demon to collect, waiting for the Tong brothers and sisters to visit in three days.
Within these three days, Shi Li also informed her of the information obtained.
Before this trip, the Tong brothers and sisters had never left the territory of Renning City and spent most of their time practicing in the Tong family's ancestral land. And because there were very few sword cultivators in the clan, the Tong family was afraid of not being able to keep the two of them, so while providing them with abundant resources, they also placed more restrictions on their whereabouts and relationships.
The fact that the two of them almost broke up with their family in order to achieve a breakthrough in swordsmanship caused quite a stir in Renning City. Shi Li could find out by asking a little.
…
To be honest, even though they are siblings, they don't look alike.
As the elder brother, Tong Jinxun has a slightly thin body, a square and broad face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, slightly plump lips, and dark pupils. The younger sister Tong Siwei is plumper, with fine white skin, slightly protruding cheekbones, a small pointed chin, and bright red lips. It was extremely thin, giving the two of them a rigid and philistine temperament.
It was Xu's first time to climb Dezhaosheng Cliff. Even though they had learned from Shi Li about the power of the golden fire energy and were fully prepared, the faces of the Tong brothers and sisters still showed a somewhat forbearing paleness.
However, their expressions did not change, and when they met Zhao Chun in the palace, they still looked calm and composed, which made her have a very good impression of the brother and sister from the beginning.
"Tong Jinxun is appointed to the Tong family in Ningcheng." "Tong Siwei."
"I've met Sword Lord!"
Nowadays, everyone in the three states knows the name of Zhaoyan Sword Lord, and people at that time had the habit of addressing people by their titles. Whether it was Master Jijian or Master Rongguan, they were all honorific titles used by monks and other monks to avoid their names, even though she knew them well. Senior Brother Guan Boyanguan, outsiders would also call him Taoist Shengji, which not only shows respect but also shows alienation.
The title of Sword Lord was beyond Zhao Chun's expectation, but since it was revealed on the stele, it must have been a gift from heaven. The sword of Master Zhantian was also born extraordinary, so before he became a master and received the title of Dao, he was still called Sword Lord. Zhao Shun got this title in a reasonable manner, so he accepted it calmly without any other thoughts.
If someone wanted to come to discuss with her because of this, she would not shy away from fighting.
Zhao Shun called the two of them to sit down, and then went straight to the point and asked about the possibility that their brothers and sisters could endure the special aura environment of Zhaoshengya.
Tong Jinxun and his younger sister looked at each other and responded: "The five elements of my and Siwei's skills belong to metal, so the sharp golden aura here is quite beneficial. As for the other strong fire-based aura...it is separated from our daily practice. After a while, it can be eliminated by circulating the true energy, and it is not a serious problem."
His and Tong Siwei's eyes showed determination at the same time, which showed that they had made up their minds to enter Zhaosheng Cliff to practice.
"Since you two don't think it's a hindrance, it's okay." The cave servants brought the spirit tea up. Zhao Shun indicated that the two of them could drink it by themselves. Then the conversation changed and he asked again: "I heard that this is your first time. After leaving Renning, the monks are not like ordinary people, and there is no ethical restriction of 'do not travel far when parents are present', so why did you only go out to the city to practice today?"
Seeing Zhao Shun's indifferent expression, the Tong brothers and sisters were not sure whether she knew the inside story of the Tong family, so Tong Si opened her lips slightly and replied: "Jianjun doesn't know something. My brother and I were brought up in our ancestral land since we were young. We are no longer with our parents." I have been under my knees for a long time, so I don't worry about it. It is actually because in the ancestral precepts, there is a rule that 'you can't leave the ancestral land before building the foundation, and you can't leave the city until you have condensed the yuan'.
The elders in the clan used this to protect the younger clan members with lower cultivation levels from dying prematurely. My brother and I were trapped in the Sword Light Realm for nine years. If we wanted to break through the shackles, we had to take dangerous measures and travel far out of the city, even against our ancestors' instructions. "
