postscript, many years later
Qin Jianxian killed Zhu Rong and swept the demons. It has been a long time since then, and the longest thing has become a legend in the Three Realms.
On an official road.
Six riders were moving forward, three middle-aged men and three young men and women.
"Can I enter the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect?"
The young Liu Qi's mind was floating.
His father Liu Qianshan is one of the Seven Eagles of Qiying Fort in Baihe County. He and six other brothers were all outer disciples of the Rising Sword Sect. The seven fellow disciples had deep feelings and joined forces to establish the Seven Eagles Fort and settled in Baihe County. Baihe Seven Eagles are also quite famous.
"The Litian Sword Sect, which commands the entire 18 prefectures of Jiangnan Road, is the top sect in the world." The young man Liu Qi thought, "Some of the inner disciples of the Litian Sword Sect are cultivated by senior sects since childhood, and some are screened from the outer disciples. The actual first-time election is that they directly enter the inner disciples, but there are very few. Now, there are only ten inner disciples in my Dongguan Mansion. Can I enter?"
“It’s here.”
A man riding a horse with a broken arm wore a sword around his waist and said, "There are only ten inner disciples in each of the eighteen palaces of Jiangnan Road. The seven of us brothers have been suffering in the outer gate for many years, but we have not been able to enter the inner gate. We can only see you younger generations."
"Give us a sigh of relief." Another elegant man also said.
"yes."
Liu Qi and another boy and girl responded.
The younger generation of Qiying Castle has been practicing hard since childhood, and the three of them are even better.
The Rising Sword Sect, the Dongxiang Prefecture Branch.
Today, a large group of parents and elders came with their children and dared to conduct the primary election, which was somewhat basic. Either they were wealthy businessmen or the younger generations of the disciples of the Litian Sword Sect, they were all cultivated since childhood.
"I made it clear in advance that only those who practice basic internal skills can join my Tianli Sword Sect. If you practice other internal skills, you can leave quickly." An old man in blue looked at thousands of young men and women, and the surroundings were quiet.
"Okay, this year's screening and assessment will be the first level."
The old man in green clothes pointed to a towering mountain behind him, "Climbing up to the top of the mountain with bare hands in one stick of incense."
"This is the first level of this year." Many parents and elders in the distance were nervous.
Many men and women climbed quickly on the steep mountain walls for many years.
They all have internal strength and know the light martial arts. They climb very quickly. But the time for an incense stick is too short, and many changes will occur when climbing. For example, others deliberately stomp stones and the stones splash around.
"Ah." Young girls often fall, and disciples of the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect flew up to catch them, but they were all eliminated.
"There are 126 people who have passed the first level. If you want, you can join my Tianli Sword Sect and become an outer disciple." The old man in green smiled and said to the young girls. Liu Qi was also standing among them, but his two companions failed. Liu Qi looked back and saw his father and uncles in the crowd outside the railing in the distance.
"Dad, uncle, third uncle." Liu Qi saw his elders at a glance.
"Xiaoqi, work hard." The three elders looked excitedly and expectantly, but the pair of young girls beside them had a little red eyes.
Liu Qi nodded slightly, and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
"Everyone sits cross-legged and starts to use the internal qi to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as quickly as possible."
"Liu Qi, talent, under B"
"You guys come one by one and use basic swordsmanship."
"Wang Tong, swordsmanship, Yi Zhong."
"Liu Qi, swordsmanship, armor."
"Everyone goes to rest, start tomorrow morning and hold a ring competition."
"Liu Qi, in actual combat armor."
After two days of screening.
The 126 young girls who passed the first level also ranked.
"Liu Qi, ranked 17th." Liu Qi was silent when he looked at the ranking on the red list.
"Master Li, my Xiaoqi is ranked first in the actual combat of swordsmanship, and I can rank in the top three. The two who are comparable to my Xiaoqi are one, one is the son of the lord of the mansion, and the other is also the third son of the Dongxiang Jian Saint Family. My Xiaoqi can be comparable to them. This swordsmanship is extremely wise, so it cannot be an exception." Liu Qianshan begged in front of the old man Qingshan.
"Qianshan, it's not that I don't help you, this is the sect rule. Your son's absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can only be considered ordinary, and is the qualification of lower B. And the best this time is the qualification of middle A. The absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is five times that of your son. The other person has practiced internal strength for ten years, which is equivalent to your son's 50 years of internal strength." said the old man in Qingshan, "Swordsman is important, but internal strength is the foundation. The difference in internal strength is too far, how can this be done?"
"But my son is only fourteen this year, so he has such swordsmanship, which is not worth cultivating," Liu Qianshan said.
"It's only fourteen, and your son can compete again next year and the next year." The old man in green smiled, "Maybe next year and the next year, your son will be in the top ten and enter the inner door directly."
Liu Qianshan was silent.
The Seven Eagles are considered heroes in Baihe County. But they can only be considered third-rate in the entire Eighteen Prefectures of Jiangnan Road.
Liu Qi stood in the distance and silently watched his father argue with the Dharma Protector Li.
On the way back, Liu Qi was a little silent.
"Xiao Qi, you can rank 17th in the entire Dongguan Mansion. This time the top ten have entered the inner sect of the Rising Sword Sect. Then, when you come to the competition next year, you will definitely enter the top ten." The broken-armed man laughed loudly.
Liu Qi didn't say anything.
"Next year, many people will practice until they are fifteen years old, sixteen years old, and they will be close to the age limit before they will compete. There will be new opponents next year." Liu Qi said silently, "But my qualifications will not change, and I will still be inferior to B."
"Beat your breath, you will be stronger next year than this year and will definitely enter the top ten." Liu Qianshan also said.
"Yes, dad." Liu Qi replied.
Liu Qianshan and the three brothers exchanged their eyes, but they were all under pressure.
"Xiao Qi has reached the A-level swordsmanship. It will be difficult to move forward further. Next year and the next year, can he enter the inner gate?" Liu Qianshan said silently, "Only by entering the inner gate can you learn a truly powerful method. Otherwise, in this world, you will only be a second-rate and third-rate jianghu people after all."
A book shop.
The young man Liu Qi came to this bookstore very familiarly and looked through the storytelling novels. Every time he felt tired when practicing, he would come here to find some storytelling novels. If he immersed in the storytelling novels, he would forget the fatigue.
"Xiao Qi, seeing you like this, you have not become an inner disciple of the Rising Sword Sect." There was a shop owner lying on a bamboo chair with a palm-leaf fan in the bookstore, "Haha, let me get the information."
Liu Qi glanced at the shop owner and ignored it.
"I said it a long time ago, you are still young, so it's useless to go, but if you don't listen, you'll be in vain." The shop owner couldn't help but say, "I want me to say, you will win when you go at the age of sixteen."
"Uncle Qin, can you say a few less words?" Liu Qi said helplessly.
"Come on, let me tell me how I lost this time," the store owner asked curiously.
"Tell me, I'll give you some advice, maybe you'll win next time."
"Hey hey hey, why can't you beat a single one with three sticks? It's such a boring thing."
Liu Qi finally couldn't help looking at the store owner, "Uncle Qin, I'm slow to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. You can tell me how can you give me some advice?"
"This is a bit difficult." The shop owner touched the white beard, "But if you think of a solution, you, Mr. Qin, don't be able to do so."
"Those who can change their talents are all legendary treasures of heaven and earth. Mr. Qin, don't joke." Liu Qi curled his lips. His family is also a martial arts family, and he has been very familiar with some common sense since he was a child.
"Hmph, who said you must have the treasures of heaven and earth?"
Uncle Qin glared, took out a book from his arms and threw it in front of Liu Qi, "Look, this swordsman was obtained by you, Uncle Qin, many years ago. As long as you have fully practiced it, you can not only practice a powerful swordsman, but also be reborn."
"I got it many years ago, but it looks very new, and I can still smell the fragrance of ink." Liu Qi was curious to pick up the booklet. There were no words on the cover of the booklet. After reading it, "This sword technique is ok."
Liu Qi didn't care at first, but when he saw it, he couldn't help but immerse himself in it.
He slowly looked over and looked.
At the age of fourteen, he was rated as the under-Armor and was also ranked in the A-level. He was naturally very talented in swordsmanship and soon discovered the extraordinaryness of this swordsmanship.
"This sword technique." After a long time, Liu Qi looked up at the store owner, feeling as mysterious as Mr. Qin, who is usually talkative.
"How great is it?" Mr. Qin raised his eyebrows, "You Mr. Qin, I used to be a swordsman, and I was invincible in the world. How could the swordsman be bad? Well, this is a few years ago when I saved a man from Jianghu. I gave me this secret swordsman handwritten by an old man. I took it and it was useless. I gave it to you."
"Uncle Qin, you may not understand. This is indeed an extremely powerful swordsman." Liu Qi handed the swordsmanship book back, "I can't ask for it."
"I'll give it to you if you say it. I will never take back what I gave." Uncle Qin waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't look moved. Your Uncle Qin is alone in the Dongxiang Mansion. Just come and chat with me more if you have nothing to do."
Liu Qi suddenly felt sad.
This Uncle Qin is all white-haired, but she is alone and lonely. It is indeed pitiful.
"Uncle Qin, I will come to accompany you more." Liu Qilian said.
"Yes." Uncle Qin lay on the bamboo chair, shaking his palm-leaf fan leisurely, thinking to himself, "The martial arts of these three realms are indeed becoming more and more prosperous, and now the first martial arts golden immortal has been born."
