Chapter 76 I'm Going
Late at night on August 17, 2017
Li Fengyun's 50th birthday party finally came to an end in a slightly awkward atmosphere.
However, apart from Li Tianya's performance in the last performance, the birthday party was still very successful overall. Whether it was the exquisite dishes, Chen Qingming's sincere confession, or Li Tianya's last teachings to his children and grandchildren, they all left a deep impression. When the guests were dispersing in the fun of drinking, they all gave high praise to the birthday party, and then went home to rest.
However, for the organizers, there was still a lot of finishing work after the banquet, so that they still had to be idle after the hustle and bustle.
"So, what should the Primitive Sword Spirit do?"
In the bedroom, Li Fengyun asked his wife for help very sincerely.
Lu Xin rubbed his temples tiredly, feeling sleepy rushing up like a tide.
The last time she went to bed was probably back to August 11. The effort she put in during this period was no exaggeration to describe it as a singular and heroic... So, when the banquet ended, the fatigue accumulated over the past few days made her want to fall on the bed and sleep until the spring of 2018!
But on the other hand, the issue of the original sword spirit raised by Li Fengyun is indeed a headache and cannot be ignored.
Before the dinner ended, Li Tianya asked Li Fengyun to prepare a primitive sword spirit for Chen Qingming to solve the problem that the girl's unique physique was incompatible with the Jiulong Sword Heart.
The so-called primitive sword spirit is a treasure from heaven and earth from the prehistoric era. It is said that it is a treasure extracted by the great immortals of the prehistoric era condensed the essence of heaven and earth and the laws of great Tao. It is a crystal clear ball, the size of a fist, and it condenses the essence of sword art as vast as a sea of smoke, and it is mysterious and magical.
The greatest magical feature of this object is that it can improve the innate qualifications of the monk. After the monk uses his spiritual sense to refine the original sword, he can absorb all the essence of the sword. He will obtain a transformation like a marrow washing of the muscles, and his body and mind will be closer to the origin of the sword. From then on, no matter what sword technique he practices, he will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
For those great monks who have already had a high level of cultivation, the Primitive Sword Spirit can often help them break through the existing bottlenecks and go further at the top of the 100-foot pole. It is rumored that among the three academies, the dean of Qinglian Academy refined a Primitive Sword Spirit a hundred years ago and understood the Qinglian Sword Technique. From then on, he even overwhelmed the Wuxiang Sword Academy in the field of swordsmanship. Therefore, the Primitive Sword Spirit is priceless and is a top treasure famous throughout the Xiangzhou Continent.
In the 2015 edition of the Qingyun Museum published by famous writer and scholar Li Tianya, the original sword spirit was rated as a third-level treasure.
Such treasures can indeed help Chen Qingming relieve the incompatibility of physical body and sword heart, but the problem is that with the preciousness and rareness of the original sword spirit, even the seven major families are extremely difficult to buy. Over the past thousands of years, the Li family has only bought a few hundred sword spirits, and it takes an average of more than ten years to earn one.
Of course, if you collect it with all your strength, you can still get it with the strength of the Li family. Even if your family has no inventory, you can find other aristocratic families to barter, or simply visit the Holy Sect and the Third Court, there will always be channels to buy, which is nothing more than the cost.
The problem is that it takes time.
But Li Fengyun doesn’t have much time now. In the latest three days, he will hand over the original sword spirit to Chen Qingming.
Things need to go back a few hours ago, at the end of the birthday party...
——
"Ha, Qingyun Li Tianya, it's been a long time since I saw you!"
At the dinner, Li Tianya greeted Wang Jiu enthusiastically.
"Oh, you haven't seen each other for a few days, and you seem to have become handsome again."
Wang Jiu smiled and said, "Thank you, so do you."
Li Tianya laughed: "Of course, we are all Li Tianya!"
The banquet hall was already dead silent. People looked at the incredible performance art of the previous head of the family in amazement, and felt their brains ignorant... Some people from the division began to worry about whether they would be silenced by the head.
After Li Tianya greeted Wang Jiu, his eyes swept around in confusion: "Speaking of this, what are you doing with lights and decorative decorations here? What are I doing here?"
Wang Jiu explained: "This is the fiftieth birthday party of your son Li Fengyun. You are here to teach divination and preaching to the younger generations who attended the banquet."
Li Tianya nodded repeatedly: "Divine prophecy? Oh, use the sword intent of Tianya to touch the laws of time and space to tailor the prophecy for the younger generations of monks? It's not bad, it sounds like something Li Tianya can do."
After saying that, Li Tianya looked at the younger generation's table with great enthusiasm and asked, "What did I say just now?"
"You said you wanted Li Fengyun to prepare the original sword spirit for Shen Qingming..."
"That's right, primitive sword spirit." Li Tianya said, "For people with poor sword talent, it is a treasure that can be used to change their fate. For the great monk who is deeply trapped in a bottleneck, it is also an opportunity for breakthrough. However, if it is used to clean the muscles and marrow to improve the qualifications, the child must refine it as soon as possible after breaking through the wind barrier. The sooner the qualifications, the better."
Although Li Tianya was ignorant at this time, he was still as a top monk and had a vision and knowledge. After pondering for a moment, he said, "From the qualifications of this girl Qingming, it is best to refine the sword spirit for her now. Without further ado, Fengyun, use the sword spirit to improve her qualifications within three days."
Li Fengyun was stunned when he heard this, while Lu Xin next to him was shocked when he heard this.
"Dad, within three days? The original sword spirit is very rare and there is no inventory at home. I'm afraid it's too late for three days..."
As a result, before he finished speaking, Li Tianya frowned: "It's too late? What's this? One of the seven major families of the Li family, he can't even take out a primitive sword spirit. This is simply a joke! You can't bear to let it go, right?"
This accusation was too severe, and Lu Xin blushed: "Oh, of course not. Just..."
"Since I'm willing to give up, don't waste time hesitation. Three days is enough. As the head of your family, you must learn to use your brain to think of ways. Now, I used to be the head of the family and ask you to take out the original sword spirit within three days. Have you heard it??"
——
According to the rules of the Li family compound, the name of the former head of the family actually has no practical significance.
When passing the position of the head of the family to descendants, Li Tianya no longer enjoys any privileges of the head of the family. When there is a conflict between the current head of the family, even if the seniority is higher, he must unconditionally respect the decision of the current head of the family.
Therefore, when Li Tianya wanted to repay Wang Jiu's kindness with millions of spirit stones, he would embarrassedly say that as the former head of the family, he no longer had the right to call on family resources.
However, Li Tianya's words were said in the Fengyun Tower Birthday Banquet Hall in full view. Considering his status, even if he was talking nonsense, he was worth it. What's more, Li Fengyun and his wife had just resolved the misunderstanding with their daughter Shen Qingming, which was a sensitive period. If they really ignored the old man's words, they would inevitably be discussed and said that they didn't care about Shen Qingming.
So now when Lu Xin heard her husband mention the topic of Primitive Sword Spirit, although she was extremely tired, she still forced herself to cheer up and think seriously.
After a while, the woman pondered: "At present, as long as the Holy Sect is capable of producing it, the Wuxiangjian Academy may have one or two pieces of inventory... To be honest, I heard that the Wuxiangjian Academy failed to invest in Jinyu City some time ago, and the deficit was very serious. I might as well write a letter to propose the acquisition of the spirit stone. If it goes well, the transaction will be completed in about one or two months."
Li Fengyun said: "But my father said it would take three days."
Lu Xin shook his head with a wry smile, "You can't take Dad's words too seriously. How can this whimsical requirement be achieved? We just need to do everything we can and finally get the original sword spirit. After all, everyone knows that it is impossible to take out the original sword spirit within three days. Even if we use our swords to attack the Wuxiang Sword Academy with our swords and rob them openly, three days will not be enough to run such a round trip... Unless we find a nearby wilderness to jump off the cliff and seek adventure. OK, don't think about it, take a break soon, I will go to write a letter tomorrow morning..."
After talking about it, Lu Xin couldn't hold on, so he lay down first and fell asleep quickly.
Li Fengyun was still energetic, frowned tightly, and said to himself: "Did you jump off the cliff and look for a strange adventure..."
After a while, Li Fengyun still couldn't sleep and couldn't worry about the primitive sword spirit.
He saw his wife's fatigue these days and couldn't bear to disturb her rest. So he stood up quietly, came to the desk, and wrote a letter to a reliable senior for help.
"Senior Sword Spirit, at the dinner today, my father asked me to prepare the original sword spirit for Qingming within three days. This thing is extremely rare and difficult to get started. I wonder what my senior thinks about this?"
After a while, Li Fengyun received a reply from Wang Jiu.
"The Primitive Sword Spirit is the essence of sword cultivators above the Tianbeng Realm of the Jiuzhou era who used the means of stealing the secrets of heaven to materialize the laws of the Great Dao. It not only has the ability to improve the sword cultivators, but also helps me to rebuild the sword world. It is normal for such treasures to be extremely rare, so there is no need to make a fuss. By the way, if you have the chance to buy them, remember to bring me one too."
Li Fengyun held the letter and was silent for a long time.
——
The next morning, when Lu Xin opened his eyes, he only saw the sunlight outside the window, which was already noon.
The woman was shocked. It was so late?! As the mistress of the courtyard, she has always been known for her strict and standardized schedule. She never thought she would have overslept like this!
Then, Lu Xin complained in his heart that his husband was different from himself. That master at the peak of Paishan Realm was truly energetic and tireless. His daily sleep was just a response. Getting up on time was easy... Why didn't he wake him up on time!
While hurriedly taking a bath with fairy art on the bed, she struggled to resist her tiredness and stood up. Before Lu Xin could put all the jewelry on, she saw the note left to her by Li Fengyun on the desk beside the bed.
Chapter completed!
