Chapter 73. (1/2) Immortal Cultivation Extra 5

After flying for five days on a magic weapon, Gu Fan finally saw the first of the five legendary immortal sects – the Golden Sword Sect.

In the midst of a vast mountain range, a main peak rises abruptly, towering over the surrounding peaks like a giant sword that appears out of nowhere. The peak is long and narrow, with no grass growing on it. The top of the peak is covered with white snow like a buried scabbard. Strong winds blow continuously around the peak, which is actually the gathering of sword energy. Even cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage dare not trespass.

Lu Ya introduced Gu Fan: “That is the Jianfeng (sword’s edge) of the sect. There live a few old men and women who don’t show up often. Even if the sect master has nothing to do, he rarely goes to Jianfeng to disturb others. Let’s go and pay our respects to our old man first.”

Gu Fan: “He always has a Taoist name…”

She is about to become an apprentice, but she can’t even know her old man’s Taoist partner name. Lu Ya always calls them “old men,” but even if she is young, she still has to respect his teachers.

Lu Ya smiled and said, “As far as I can remember, others have called him the Sword Saint, and the disciples in the sect have called him the Holy Ancestor.”

Gu Fan took note of it silently.

Lu Ya suddenly put the magic weapon away. He took Gu Fan’s hand with one hand and led Gu Fan directly to break through the sword’s restriction and stopped in front of an ancient wooden house.

“Disciple greets Master.” Lu Ya glanced at Gu Fan and said respectfully.

The wooden door opened, and a tall and slender figure walked out. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and an imposing manner. He had a beautiful beard that reached as far as his collarbone. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking like an immortal.

Gu Fan: …

Is this the thousand-year-old old man that Lu Ya mentioned?

Because the image of the white-bearded old man was so different from what she had imagined, Gu Fan was stunned and momentarily forgot to salute.

The Sword Master looked at her and said nothing.

Lu Ya smiled and reminded Gu Fan: “Why don’t you pay your respects to the Master?”

Although Lu Ya is also a strong man in the fusion period, he is too frivolous. Gu Fan is really familiar with him, so when the two of them get along, except for a little awkwardness in her heart, Gu Fan doesn’t feel anything in front of Lu Ya. Now that she had seen the legendary Sword Saint, the aura of a powerful person in the Fusion Stage made Gu Fan feel uneasy. She had lost her ability to react. When Lu Ya urged her, she subconsciously saluted: “Gu Fan greets the Master…”

Halfway through her speech, Gu Fan stuttered.

The Sword Master hasn’t accepted her as his disciple yet, so why is she calling him “Master”?

Fortunately, “shi” and “sheng” sound similar, so Gu Fan changed it in time and said: “Gu Fan pays homage to the holy ancestor.”

The Sword Saint had an ethereal voice as he said to Lu Ya, “Since she is your Taoist partner, why doesn’t she call me Master?”

Gu Fan blushed. Lu Ya had actually mentioned this matter to the Sword Saint?

Lu Ya smiled and said, “Fanfan is shy. After all, we haven’t held the dual cultivation ceremony yet. She can change our words later.”

The Sword Master glanced at Lu Ya meaningfully. Cultivators do not care about those red tape. As long as two people have a mutual understanding, they will naturally become a pair of Taoists. Only some cultivators who like to show off will go to the trouble of mobilizing a large number of people to organize a dual cultivation ceremony and invite disciples from famous families with whom they are on good terms to attend the ceremony.

“Gu Fan, is it possible that Lu Ya forced you to take on the Taoist partner issue?”

The Sword Saint spoke sternly as if to say that if Lu Ya really threatened Gu Fan, he would support Gu Fan.

Gu Fan knelt on the ground, lowered her eyes and said: “He didn’t force me, it’s just that my cultivation is low and I don’t dare to pursue him.”

A look of helplessness flashed across Lu Ya’s eyes, and he knew that this was what she cared about.

But Lu Ya could understand Gu Fan’s thoughts. When he was still a superpower, he also hesitated about delaying her because of the difference in lifespan.

“Master, Fanfan is devoted to cultivation, but she doesn’t have a suitable technique. Please teach her.”

Lu Ya did not forget the real purpose of this trip.

The Sword Saint had naturally seen Gu Fan’s five spiritual roots. With a slight thought, a jade slip and a jet-black sword floated in front of Gu Fan. “This Tai Chi and Tai Chi sword were left by a Feixian elder of our sect. Because our sect has never had a suitable five spiritual root disciples, they have been kept with me. I will give them to you today. I hope you will practice diligently and don’t disgrace them.”

Gu Fan was overjoyed and looked up at the Sword Saint: “Is Holy Ancestor willing to accept me as your disciple?”

Sword Master: “Well, since the evil disciple has kidnapped you, I am responsible for you. From today on, you and Lu Ya are senior and junior brothers and sisters. If he bullies you, just send a message to me.”

After saying that, the Sword Saint threw another communication talisman to Gu Fan and turned back to the wooden house.

Lu Ya tried to explain: “Master, I…”

With a “bang”, the wooden door was closed.

Lu Ya: …

He lowered his head and said helplessly to the new junior sister: “Are you satisfied now?”

Gu Fan avoided his gaze, thinking that he must be unreliable, which led to the misunderstanding of the Sword Saint.

It was inappropriate to talk in front of the old man’s door, so Lu Ya took Gu Fan’s hand again and took her away from Jianfeng.

Lu Ya also has his own territory in the Golden Sword Sect, but he never accepts disciples. The huge mountain is empty except for a cave.

“Let’s take a look at these two things first.” Lu Ya reminded Gu Fan.

Gu Fan couldn’t wait any longer.

Naturally, everything the Sword Master brings out is a treasure. Tai Chi is a heavenly-level five-element technique, which is divided into two parts: cultivation techniques and spells. The practice has no requirements for the practitioner’s qualifications. As long as one possesses the five elements of spiritual roots, one can practice it. However, the spells in “Tai Chi” are divided into four levels: Early; Yellow (Huang). 2, Middle; Profound (Xuan). 3, Late; Earth (Di). 4, Peak; Heaven (Tian).

With Gu Fan’s current level of cultivation, she can only practice Xuan-level and Huang-level spells. She is not qualified for the Earth level. Of course, the higher the threshold of the spell, the greater the power will naturally be.

The Tai Chi Sword is a mother-and-child sword. Both the mother and child swords are top-grade spiritual weapons when separated, and they can be upgraded to immortal weapons when combined. They are suitable for cultivators at different stages.

There is a five-element conversion formation in the Tai Chi sword. No matter what type of spiritual power Gu Fan releases, as long as she thinks about it, the Tai Chi sword will automatically convert the received spiritual power and launch the attack that Gu Fan wants, thus saving Gu Fan the trouble of converting it herself.

Gu Fan knew all this after she swore loyalty through blood.

Lu Ya said: “Your strength is not high now. If people knew that you had a magic weapon in your hand, it would be easy for Yuanying and Huashen stage masters to target you. It is better to put the mother sword in your Dantian to warm it up, and only use the sub-sword at other times.”

Gu Fan understood that possessing a treasure was a crime. Let alone an immortal weapon. Even a single sword would easily be coveted by others.

The spiritual weapon can change its size. Gu Fan put the mother’s sword into her dan tian.

After understanding the skills and magic weapons, Lu Ya took Gu Fan to meet his senior brother, the leader of the Golden Sword Sect.

The clan leader looked more like an old man with white, beard-like hair and a very kind demeanor.

“Junior sister, what are your plans?” the sect leader asked kindly.

Gu Fan knew that she was able to receive this treatment because Lu Ya stood by her side. She used to be a casual cultivator and could only rely on Lu Ya if she wanted to join a sect. Now, she has successfully become a disciple of the Golden Sword Sect, a major sect. Gu Fan wanted to walk the rest of the way on her own.

The two of them are in different realms. She can’t always rely on Lu Ya, and Lu Ya can’t really ignore his own immortal path and accompany her to some places that are not difficult for him to gain experience.

“I want to practice and complete tasks like an ordinary inner sect disciple.” Gu Fan said with her eyes lowered.

The sect leader looked at Lu Ya, and Lu Ya nodded slightly.
