"Hmph, I'm curious to hear how the elder of Spirit Sword Mountain is so incompetent." Tai Shu Reincarnation slowly walked in from outside the hall. The people inside the hall were surprised to see the Grand Elder arrive and hurriedly bowed. Tai Shu paid no attention to them.
He had initially sent Shijin Nian to report this person's identity again, but feeling uneasy, he decided to come and take a look himself. To his surprise, he overheard such words, which made him feel a bit angry. For some reason, he just didn't have a good impression of this person.
"Grandpa." When Tai Shu Yun heard Tai Shu Reincarnation's words, she knew he was already angry. She gently walked up to him, swinging his hand and calling out.
"Alright, stop swinging; you'll break my arm." Tai Shu Reincarnation spoke softly. The people in the hall were already used to this; everyone knew that the only nemesis of the Grand Elder was the "Demon Princess" standing before him—Tai Shu Yun.
"Zuo Dao doesn't understand; don't blame him. After all, he's just a medicine boy and knows nothing about these matters," Tai Shu Yun began to reduce Zuo Dao's hostility.
"A medicine boy? I think it's more than that! Facing Qiao Feng's sword energy so calmly—there aren't many like that on Spirit Sword Mountain." Tai Shu Reincarnation had already arrived outside the main hall and had witnessed everything unfold. He hadn't intended to show up, but unexpectedly, this White-Robed Youth glanced in his direction, whether intentionally or not. This piqued his interest; could it really be that simple for him to be just a medicine boy?
"Grand Elder." Zuo Dao stepped forward to pay his respects; after all, he was still Tai Shu Yun's elder, and this courtesy had to be given.
"Show me how incompetent I am. If you impress me, there will be rewards. If you mess around... hmph." Tai Shu Reincarnation grunted twice; he too wanted to know why Zuo Dao dared to speak like that.
"Lu Family, come over here for a moment." Zuo Dao didn't say much and directly called Lu Family over.
Lu Family was completely confused at this point. What was going on? What kind of situation was this?
He approached Zuo Dao and stared blankly at him.
"Zuo Dao, you called me over for something?"
"It's nothing; I just want the Grand Elder to see your incompetence." With that, he swiftly pointed out, completing a series of actions before Lu Family's protective sword energy could react.
"What quick movements," Tai Shu Reincarnation thought to himself.
Every Sword Cultivator has their own protective sword aura, which automatically defends them when they are attacked. After a few quick gestures, Zuo Dao's sword aura finally reacted; if it had been an enemy, the Lu Family would have been dead countless times over.
Miao Qiaofeng, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but feel a chill in his eyes. He had thought Zuo Dao was an ordinary person, but it turned out he was a wolf in sheep's clothing. He believed he could have done what Zuo Dao just did, but he certainly wouldn't have done it as effortlessly.
"Alright, now let me show you how much harm your incompetence has caused your disciple," Zuo Dao said. Before he finished speaking, a scream suddenly erupted from the Lu Family, causing everyone to gasp in shock.
"What have you done to Lu Family's junior brother?" Miao Qiaofeng stepped forward to support Lu Family and questioned Zuo Dao.
"If I were you, I would immediately let go of Lu Family's senior brother to avoid unnecessary suffering. Don't say I didn't warn you," Zuo Dao replied nonchalantly as he took a few steps back.
Tai Shu Reincarnation ignored Miao Qiaofeng and focused intently on Lu Family. From what he had seen earlier, Zuo Dao had no intent to kill, and he believed that the other party wouldn't harm a disciple of Spirit Sword Mountain in front of everyone. However, the current state of Lu Family was quite strange; even he hesitated to approach.
It seemed that Lu Family was responding to Zuo Dao's words.
With a whoosh, countless sword auras erupted from within him. Miao Qiaofeng was closest and was caught off guard, instantly activating his protective sword aura. Between them, it was as if a silver flower tree had bloomed with dazzling brilliance. Tai Shu Reincarnation raised his hand and unleashed a Dao Sword aura to separate the two; he wasn't worried about Lu Family getting hurt but rather about Miao Qiaofeng.
Lu Family's condition was highly abnormal; the sword aura erupting from his body had exceeded his own Realm. Moreover, this sword aura contained powerful Fire Attribute energy. The aggressiveness of these Fire Attribute sword auras was intense, but such immense power manifesting within a soil-based swordsman indicated that the damage caused was far from simple arithmetic.
He was already aware that disciples in the mountain would first practice sword techniques that didn't align with their attributes when their contribution value was insufficient. The higher-ups in the sect had also followed this path. However, Spirit Sword Mountain was originally a hall for Sword Cultivators; at some point, they would find sword techniques compatible with their own attributes. This system was also designed to better motivate the disciples to diligently cultivate since improving their strength would naturally increase their contribution value.
But Zuo Dao's actions at this moment revealed the flaws in this system to Tai Shu Reincarnation. It turned out that temporarily cultivating techniques incompatible with one's attributes could be so harmful. As a Tai Xu-level Sword Cultivator, he easily recognized the problem. If this method fell into enemy hands, it would undoubtedly spell disaster for Spirit Sword Mountain.
"Alright, what do you want? As long as it's within my ability, I will agree," Tai Shu Reincarnation said without further ado.
"Wait a moment; let me heal Lu Family's senior brother first. Sigh, I really don't know how Spirit Sword Mountain teaches its disciples!" He said this without caring about the countless murderous gazes in the hall as he walked up to Lu Family.
At this moment, Lu Family felt that the sword energy he had painstakingly cultivated was completely out of his control, flowing like water from his meridians and dissipating into the air. Yet, he did not feel the slightest bit of panic; instead, there was a sense of relief throughout his body. It was as if what was being lost was not sword energy, but rather a burden.
Zuo Dao knew he could not allow the sword energy to flow away unchecked, for if too much were lost, it would damage the Origin Sword Qi. Although he practiced an exotic sword technique, the Origin Sword Qi remained unchanged. This was akin to the distinction between host and guest; even if the guest was strong and the host weak, it did not change the fundamental relationship where the host remained the host and the guest remained the guest.
The Sword Intent fell upon him without even stirring his clothing.
Once again, a finger pointed down. At this moment, Tai Shu Reincarnation had taken Zuo Dao's finger technique to heart, activating his Spiritual Awareness to observe closely. However, all he saw were afterimages, leaving him astonished. The speed was so fast that even his Spiritual Awareness could not keep up.
Zuo Dao understood Tai Shu Reincarnation's thoughts; however, some things could not be learned even if he was willing to teach. That was the gap between them.
Thus, amidst Zuo Dao's pointing gestures, Lu Family stood up again. However, this time, he left a completely different impression on everyone. If Lu Family had previously felt like a sword, now he still felt like a sword, but the quality had changed—from an ordinary weapon to a divine blade.
Tai Shu Reincarnation's eyes twitched at the corners; he was excited. His gaze towards Lu Family resembled that of a swordsman spotting an extraordinary sword.
With proper guidance, this child could become another Spirit Sword Lord. He could even imagine the scene where "Spirit Sword Seven Lords" would be renamed "Spirit Sword Eight Lords." Spirit Sword Mountain was about to flourish.
"Good. Good. Good." The repetition of "good" three times showed just how pleased Tai Shu Reincarnation was at that moment.
"Lu Family, I intend to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?" As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent. What was happening? The Grand Elder wanted to take on a disciple? And it was an ordinary disciple from Spirit Sword Mountain? Many people found it hard to comprehend; they had witnessed this scene unfold in the hall. How could a new Pharmacy disciple be accepted as a disciple by the Grand Elder after just a few gestures?
Who was Tai Shu Reincarnation? The Grand Elder of Spirit Sword Mountain; aside from the Sword Master, he held the greatest power. Moreover, he was also the second strongest in Spirit Sword Mountain.
Envy and jealousy filled the air—everyone felt various emotions but mostly kept their thoughts to themselves. Spirit Sword Mountain had done well in this regard; they maintained their core values in personal cultivation.
However, one person felt entirely different about this situation. Miao Qiaofeng had sought several times to be accepted as a disciple by the Grand Elder but had been rejected each time. Now, an ordinary disciple could elicit such attention from Tai Shu Reincarnation—it felt like a slap in the face. With a dark expression, Miao Qiaofeng left the grand hall without even saying goodbye.
However, even if Tai Shu Reincarnation saw it, there was no time to pay attention to him. He was busy questioning the bewildered Lu Family. Tai Shu Yun returned to Zuo Dao's side and gave him a fierce look from head to toe.
"Child, I didn't expect you to hide it so well. You even managed to deceive me, your sister!"
"By my conscience, I wouldn't deceive anyone but you, Sister Yun. What have I even deceived you about?" Zuo Dao looked at the eccentric beauty with an innocent expression.
Tai Shu Yun thought for a moment and realized that Zuo Dao really hadn't deceived her about anything. She hadn't asked, and he hadn't volunteered any information; it was entirely her own unilateral assumption.
"Forget it, I'll let you off this time. Just make sure to tell your sister in advance next time something comes up." She generously patted Zuo Dao on the shoulder.
At that moment, Tai Shu Reincarnation's attention shifted back to Zuo Dao, who suddenly found himself in a difficult position.
This person was indeed hard to deal with. Just the display of power he had shown earlier indicated the immense value he possessed. With a mere wave of his hand, he had created something extraordinary while simultaneously grasping the greatest lifeline of Spirit Sword Mountain. To make matters worse, this person's intentions and identity were still unclear. Even more alarming was the fact that he was someone his granddaughter had feelings for.
"It’s 'feelings,' not 'heart,'” he mentally corrected himself.
"Ahem, Zuo Dao, I should thank you this time. What do you want?" Tai Shu Reincarnation had already decided: if he wanted spirit stones, he would give spirit stones; if he wanted magical treasures, he would give magical treasures. In short, anything that Spirit Sword Mountain had—just one word: give. What worried him most was whether Zuo Dao would refuse.
Zuo Dao pondered for a moment and pointed at Tai Shu Yun.
"I want her!"
