Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 226: Sword Intent Crystallization

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was high in the sky.

This "grand event" finally came to an end when Li Qingyuan was forced to fight.

Li Qingyuan and Yue Qinghuan walked side by side, slowly heading towards the Lingyun Peak of the Tianjian Sect.

When leaving the main hall of Xuanyun Peak, Zhao Zhen used the secret method of sound transmission to tell Li Qingyuan to meet him at the back mountain of Lingyun Peak.

After two cups of tea, the two arrived at the back mountain, outside Zhao Zhen's courtyard.

The courtyard is quiet, surrounded by green trees, and occasionally there are some clear bird calls.

Suddenly, Zhao Zhen's slightly tired voice came from a room in the courtyard: "Come in."

Li Qingyuan and Yue Qinghuan looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they stepped into the yard.

Then, he opened the door and walked in.

......

inside the room.

Zhao Zhen sat upright on the bed, an emerald green pill floating in front of him.

At this moment, he was dancing with his hands, as if he was refining the pill.

As the medicinal power of the pill gradually absorbed into his body, his originally pale complexion slowly turned rosy, and he looked much more energetic.

Noticing Li Qingyuan and Yue Qinghuan coming in, Zhao Zhen stopped what he was doing, slowly opened his eyes and looked at them.

Immediately, Li Qingyuan stepped forward, bowed slightly, saluted, and then cupped his hands and said:

"I would like to thank Uncle Zhao for his help in Wuyou City and for speaking up for me today at Xuanyun Peak."

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned, as if he had not expected Li Qingyuan to behave like this.

After a while, he waved his hand and said:

"No need to thank me. You also heard what Wu Jinhua said."

"I won't hide it from you. I did this because I really hope that you and I can stand on our side."

"The situation within the sect is complicated right now. The more help we get, the better our chances of victory."

Zhao Zhen was very frank and outspoken.

It was because he knew that with Li Qingyuan's intelligence, hiding the truth would only make him feel disgusted.

......

Li Qingyuan had never expected Zhao Zhen to be so straightforward. After pondering for a moment, he said:

"Uncle Zhao, let's put our matters aside. I will always remember your help."

"As for your request, I will report it to my master truthfully. However, his decision is beyond my control."

Zhao Zhen nodded, a smile appeared on his old face, and he said in a gentle voice:

"It's okay, I understand. I called you here mainly for today's matter."

Li Qingyuan's eyes moved, and he waited quietly for Zhao Zhen's next words.

Zhao Zhen then asked, "Did you really kill Wang Yi and his men?"

"No."

Li Qingyuan looked calm, but thought to himself: He is indeed an old fox, so cunning!

Yue Qinghuan just came to her senses at this moment. Her beautiful eyes moved, and her gaze towards Li Qingyuan was filled with even stronger curiosity.

She felt more and more that Li Qingyuan was very different from other men. He was like a mystery that attracted her to solve it!

......

"Haha~"

Zhao Zhen looked at the expressions of the two men and laughed, with a hint of insight into the world in his laughter.

Then, he changed the subject and asked, "When are we leaving?"

"Let's leave tonight." Li Qingyuan replied.

Zhao Zhen nodded, and immediately, the space ring flashed, and a golden crystal appeared out of thin air in the room.

This crystal is like a bright star, emitting dazzling light.

The golden sword energy in the crystal was crisscrossing, like a solid sword intent that could burst out of the body at any time.

Li Qingyuan recognized it at a glance. This was the "Crystallization of Sword Intent" that countless sword cultivators dreamed of!

Such treasures are simply priceless to sword cultivators.

The rich sword intent it contains can help sword practitioners achieve twice the result with half the effort when breaking through the realm of swordsmanship, saving a lot of time and energy.

......

At this time, Zhao Zhen spoke:

"This crystal is for you. It will help you practice and strengthen your swordsmanship."

"If you run out of it in the future, feel free to come to me and I'll condense some more for you."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyuan quickly waved his hand and refused, "Uncle Zhao, this is too expensive. I can't afford it."

"It's okay, take it and use it." Zhao Zhen said with a smile.

"No need, Uncle Zhao!"

Li Qingyuan refused again, his tone firm and without the slightest hesitation.

"Uncle Zhao, I have something else to do, so I'll go ahead."

Having said that, Li Qingyuan quickly walked out of the room.

Seeing this, Yue Qinghuan was a little confused, but still followed.

......

Li Qingyuan ran all the way, and only slowed down after rushing out of the courtyard.

The moment he saw the 'Crystallization of Sword Intent', his heart was indeed stirred. The attraction of such a treasure to sword cultivators was self-evident.

However, in just a moment, he clearly realized Zhao Zhen's intention.

If he accepts this, doesn’t it mean that he has chosen sides?

He has chosen a side, then Mr. Hua...

Thinking of this, Li Qingyuan secretly thanked himself for not being blinded by temporary interests.

He sighed silently in his heart:

I almost fell into the trap of this old fox. It turns out that we should never be fooled by appearances.

Immediately, he shook his head, put these distracting thoughts behind him, and stopped thinking about them.

......

"Hey, wait for me."

Yue Qinghuan's voice came from behind.

She quickly caught up with me and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Why are you walking so fast?"

"I...I thought Daoyi should be awake. I need to hurry back and urge him to practice swordplay."

Li Qingyuan's expression remained unchanged and he made up an excuse.

"is it?"

Yue Qinghuan looked suspicious and obviously didn't quite believe what Li Qingyuan said, but she didn't ask any further questions.

"It's absolutely true. Let's go."

Li Qingyuan urged, then quickened his pace and walked forward, wanting to get rid of this topic as soon as possible.

......

Tianjian Sect, in Li Qingyuan’s courtyard.

The breeze blew gently, and the flowers and plants in the yard swayed gently, emitting bursts of faint fragrance.

Li Daoyi was practicing swordplay in the open space of the courtyard. As the sword flashed, a serious look appeared on his young face.

Li Qingyuan and Yue Qinghuan sat at the stone table in the courtyard, sipping fragrant tea and talking in low voices.

The sky gradually darkened and night fell quietly.

Li Qingyuan put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly, "The time has come, it's time to set off."

Yue Qinghuan nodded slightly, and the two of them stood up at the same time.

Li Qingyuan walked to Li Daoyi and said:

"Daoyi, I won't be home these few days. You need to take good care of yourself and practice sword skills diligently. Don't be lazy!"

Hearing this, Li Daoyi stopped the sword in his hand, nodded vigorously, and said:

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely practice sword skills well!"

Li Qingyuan smiled slightly and turned his gaze to a corner of the courtyard.
