Chapter Five: Practicing Swordsmanship

  Changchun Residence

  Surrounded by a cluster of flowers.

  "Cough, cough." In the main room of Changchun's residence, violent coughing sounds could be heard from time to time.

  "Master, the medicine is here." Lu Yuan had already prepared the brewed medicine and sent it to the main room. Master Li Yuanbai's body was getting worse and worse, and Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in his heart. For these six years, Master Li Yuanbai had been extremely good to him, but he also knew that his master's lifespan was limited.

  Of course, Lu Yuan wouldn't spend every day with a long face just because he knew this news. Spending a day with a long face is still a day, and spending a happy day is also a day. Lu Yuan has always been the kind of person who spends every day happily.

  Li Yuanbai picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, without frowning at the bitterness. He looked at his disciple beside him and nodded, thinking to himself that this disciple, although lazy and often frivolous, had a good heart. Taking him on as a disciple wasn't a bad decision after all.

  Cultivators value character and innate talent when accepting disciples.

  "In six months, it will be the Grand Comparison of Pinnacle Inner." Li Yuanbai said suddenly.

  Lu Yuan nodded: "I've heard of this, right, Master, why did you bring it up?" Lu Yuan also knew that the master wouldn't mention the internal competition at Fengyue Peak for no reason.

  It's all right if everyone has tried their best in the competition.

  It's just a try, in order not to make the disciples too lazy, and to give them some motivation.

  Also let seniors see the progress of their juniors.

  Li Yuanbai smiled: "This is not simple, because my lifespan is about to end, many people are already plotting against me. For example, because I brought you the benefits of being one of the top ten true disciples, someone has been plotting against you. That Sima Hao recently often provokes you, isn't it because my lifespan is about to end? He wants to replace your position with his grandson Sima Changbai among the top ten true disciples."

  After a brief pause, Li Yuanbai continued: "This time in the inner peak competition, Sima Changbai has secretly contacted some of the elders. If you don't perform well and really lose to Sima Hao, they might use some means to take away your position as one of the top ten true disciples."

  Li Yuanbai's eyebrows shot up, the usual gentle old man now exuding a fierce aura: "I'm not dead yet, and you're already plotting against me, how detestable."

  Lu Yuan now thoroughly understood the ins and outs of the situation.

  It was clear from the start, this time's internal competition was unusually different for me.

  At this time, Lu Yuan found that in his heart, a voice was jumping.

  I must win!

  Let's win!

  We must win!

  My heart beats so fast.

  Simahao that guy, repeatedly provoked himself, plotted against his own top ten true disciples' position, such provocation of oneself, oneself must win back.

  But Sima Changbai, this uncle, is even more plotting against his master, and should be killed. He himself must also win back.

  For myself and for the sake of my master's reputation, I must win.

  Lu Yuan suddenly realized that beneath his lazy surface, he had such a strong competitive spirit and once he regarded someone as an enemy, he would fiercely counterattack.

  At this time, Li Yuanbai was also looking at Lu Yuan. Seeing the serious light in Lu Yuan's eyes, rather than his usual lazy appearance, Li Yuanbai nodded. Now that the opponent has been forced to the front door, disciple, it's time to fight seriously. You can't be lazy this time, bring out the potential in your body!

  If Master Shouyuan has many years left, he can still be your reliable support for many years to come.

  The teacher's life is also coming to an end, and the time for the teacher to take care of you is also limited.

  Good luck with your efforts.

  The current Li Yuanbai has little time left, and he no longer has much interest in any disputes. What's the point of winning or losing? In the end, it all comes down to a pile of white bones. He has no children, no relatives, and his only concern is Lu Yuan, that lazy disciple of his. Even before he dies, there are already people taking advantage of him; if he were to die, what kind of situation would arise, and how could anyone be at peace?

  A deep sigh.

  ——————

  Now, I am being forced by others to a desperate situation.

  Master Shouyuan's life was limited, and Sima Changbai immediately came to the door, wanting to seize Master Shouyuan's various banner assets, including the position of his own top ten true disciples.

  To be honest, just wanting to take the position of one of the top ten true disciples wouldn't make Lu Yuan so furious.

  They just want to take everything from their master.

  The master treated himself extremely well and led himself onto the path of cultivating immortality, teaching himself how to cultivate step by step.

  Now they're so outrageous that it's making them angry too.

  I used to be lazy, but now I must work hard and make a good effort.

  Cultivating skills, for myself who is not very proficient in magic, mainly involves two aspects: one is magical power and the other is swordsmanship.

  He practiced Yunlong Heart Method and Fengyun One Hundred and Eight Swords, both of which are excellent skills from the North Peak of Mount Hua.

  However, now it's only six months away from the peak internal competition, and it's very difficult to improve one's magical powers in just six months. The accumulation of magical powers is measured in years, not something that can be improved in just six months. So, I can only practice my sword skills well, maybe there will be improvements in sword skills.

  In six months' time, I can barely manage to practice swordplay.

  These six months, I will also have to go all out to practice swordsmanship.

  Sima Changbai and Sima Hao have both come to deceive us, how can we not counterattack fiercely.

  You must practice your sword well and strike back fiercely, making Sima Changbai's face swell up.

  The master gave me the sword "Nourishing Me" which is in my hand now. The sword "Nourishing Me" was carefully forged by Master Li Yuanbai for himself, and it's named after his wish to cultivate the majestic and righteous energy of heaven and earth. Of course, it's not possible for him to cultivate such noble sentiments, as he's just an ordinary person who does things based on his heart. He can't achieve that high level of moral integrity. However, with this sword "Nourishing Me", it's not difficult at all to launch a fierce and swift counterattack against the opponent.

  He took down his sword from the wall.

  This sword is three feet long and about half an inch wide. The blade is extremely bright, the hilt is simple, it's truly a heroic sword.

  Lu Yuan's hand grasped the hilt of the sword, and he only felt a warmth, this sword was like Master's usual personality, vast and upright, unfortunately, with Master's life span not much, someone wanted to take advantage of it, plotting against Master's everything, the sword technique, along with this anger, had gradually unfolded.

  The swordsmanship is none other than the 108 Wind and Cloud Swords.

  One style after another swordsmanship, in a small space unfolding.

  The sword moves are not particularly fast, and for the profound and unmatched Wind Cloud 108 Swords, I am not very skilled.

  For a moment, a chill ran through the room.
