The last time they ate together was the first time Huang Six and the Sword Pavilion Elder sat together.
He thought that the Sword Pavilion Elder was there to send him off and even gave him half a pot of wine.
Now that he thought about it, the Sword Pavilion Elder might have wanted to taste mortal food for the last time after 30 years.
“Brother Han, is there a way to save the elder?”
Huang Six looked at Han Muye and asked in a low voice.
Han Muye shook his head.
Although there were eight sword intents in his sea of consciousness, even if these eight sword intents were all activated, he would not be able to help the Sword Pavilion Elder at all.
Just as Elder Su Liang had said, the conflict between such great cultivators was related to the overall situation of the Western Frontier. Not to mention a small Sword Caretaker like Han Muye, even two or three Earth Realm Spirit Awakening and Core Formation experts were unable to participate.
This was a battle between the large factions. They were betting on luck.
“Guard the Sword Pavilion well. Brother, didn’t you say that this is the fate of the Sword Caretaker?” Han Muye lowered his head and walked into the Sword Pavilion.
Huang Six nodded and said, “Brother Han, stay in the Sword Pavilion. I’ll go to the Cao family.”
“With the Cao family’s relationship with the Sword Pavilion, we should visit them.”
Faint sword Qi surged from his body as he raised his hand.
There was a soft sound in the Sword Pavilion as the sword that had accompanied him for six and a half years landed in his hand.
At this moment, Huang Six no longer looked old and haggard. His body was filled with fierce aura, and his eyes flickered.
After the Sword Pavilion Elder left, he became more responsible.
“I’ll accompany Brother.” Han Muye turned around.
If he went down the mountain to the Cao family now, he might encounter an ambush.
Since the Great Spiritual Sword Sect had taken action, it might be very fierce.
“Hehe, Brother Han, you should stay in the Sword Pavilion. We can’t put all the eggs in one basket.” Huang Six waved his hand and turned to look at Lu Gao. “Guard the door.”
Lu Gao chuckled and patted the door frame.
Huang Six strode away. Han Muye looked at the protection array that was still flickering in the sky and walked into the Sword Pavilion.
In the quiet room, he put away the spiritual rocks and put down the spiritual herbs. Then, he sat quietly for a moment and took out the jade slip Elder Su Liang had given him.
He had never been more eager to increase his cultivation level.
The jade slip gently touched the space between his eyebrows, and information was absorbed by his divine sense.
This jade slip not only contained the formula for the Essence Energy Nurturing Pill, but also a few other pill formulas for Essence Cultivation, Qi Condensation, and even Foundation Establishment.
However, the most precious thing among them should be the formula for the Essence Energy Nurturing Pill.
The words in the formula turned into an alchemy scene in his mind. Han Muye closed his eyes and kept observing and comprehending.
He had comprehended the refinement method of the Essence Energy Nurturing Pills.
Other than this formula, the other formulas could only be refined above the Essence Cultivation realm. Han Muye only remembered them and did not spend time delving deeper into them.
After comprehending the formula, he took out the pill furnace. Sword Qi surged into his palm, and green light flashed.
Spiritual herbs were thrown into the pill furnace one after another. The flames formed by the sword Qi enveloped the pill furnace, and Han Muye restrained his power to the maximum.
His spiritual energy cultivation activated the pill furnace, and his sword Qi entered it to mediate and purify the spiritual herbs.
A soft vibration came from the pill furnace.
An hour later, Han Muye raised his palm, and the lid of the pill furnace flew up. Three spiritual pills flew out.
The moment the pill flew out, the pill furnace that was already covered in cracks shattered into pieces.
The damage to the pill furnace was too great.
Fortunately, it happened only after refining the pills, so he did not waste the rare spiritual herbs.
Han Muye looked at the pill in his palm and saw that it was sparkling and translucent, clearly of extraordinary quality.
Two supreme-grades and one fine-grade.
He was still not skilled enough.
Shaking his head, he put away the pills and the remaining spiritual herbs.
There should be a pill furnace in Suzhen Building. When Huang Six returned, he could go there and ask for one.
Huang Six had yet to return. At this moment, there was no one in the Sword Pavilion, and he could not swallow any pills.
After putting away the remaining spiritual herbs and pondering for a moment, Han Muye walked out of the quiet room and looked at the stairs leading to the second floor of the Sword Pavilion.
He walked slowly up the stairs. When he reached the second floor, he stopped for a moment and went straight up to the third floor.
On the third floor, the windows were wide open and the light was bright. A faint golden halo flashed in front of the window.
This was the Sword Pavilion’s protection array. When the protection array was activated, this had already been activated.
He slowly walked to where the Sword Pavilion Elder usually sat. After taking a deep breath, Han Muye gently sat down.
The Sword Pavilion Elder had said that if he could not return, Han Muye would take this seat.
Han Muye had not sat here for this position.
He wanted to see if the Sword Pavilion Elder had left any instructions or backup plans.
If he expected that he would not be able to return, Han Muye believed that the Sword Pavilion Elder would leave something behind.
Looking at the long table in front of him, Han Muye reached out and opened the wooden box that contained the sword technique.
Two scrolls and a jade slip.
Indeed.
Picking up the jade slip and touching it between his eyebrows, the white-bearded Sword Pavilion Elder appeared in front of Han Muye.
He was smiling, his eyes kind.
“I knew that you would read this jade slip, but I don’t know if I’m dead or alive.”
In the image, the Sword Pavilion Elder’s expression did not change as he spoke softly.
“Every Sword Pavilion’s Sword Caretaker has a dream of reaching the Heaven Realm, right?”
“Seeing Huang Six like this reminds me of myself back then.”
“I am not as blessed as him.”
“After 60 years of bitter cultivation, I condensed a sword of the soul and possess the power of the Hundred Breath Heavenly Realm.”
“Unfortunately, I’m destined to have no chance to use this sword move in front of the person I want to show.”
In the image, the Sword Pavilion Elder was not as fast and domineering. Instead, he was more talkative.
“Hehe, let’s get down to business.”
“You have to cultivate the Sword Nurturing Technique well. Only by cultivating the Sword Nurturing Technique can you protect your life with the sword bone after using the Soul Sword Control Technique.”
“I cultivated it too late. I’m afraid it’s not of much use to me.”
“From 200 years ago to 60 years ago, there were three elders in the Sword Pavilion who each cultivated the Sword Nurturing Technique, the Sword Condensing Technique, and the Military Sword Technique.”
“It’s said that when these three incantations are combined, there can be unexpected changes.”
“But don’t think too much, kid. Those big sects in the Western Frontier won’t give you a chance to cultivate the three techniques.”
“100 years ago, two Sword Pavilion elders who cultivated the Sword Nurturing Technique and the Sword Condensing Technique died.”
“As a last resort, the Sword Pavilion Patriarch, Zhu Shen, left the mountain with half a scroll of the Military Sword Technique. He killed three eighth level Core Formation cultivators with one strike and died.”
“That half of the Military Sword Technique is missing.”
“After that, the suppression against the Nine Mystic Sword Sect greatly decreased.”
“Surely you understand the reason for this?”
“The situation today is so similar.”
â¦
In the jade slip, the Sword Pavilion Elder analyzed the situation very clearly.
This made Han Muye feel even more helpless.
After a long time, he sighed and put the jade slip down. Then he reached out and took out a small bronze sword.
This was given to him by the Sword Pavilion Elder. It was the proof of being an official disciple of the Sword Pavilion. It was also the key to activating the array formation and the Nine Mystic Sword Seal.
This was also the trust for the next elder of the Sword Pavilion.
After putting back the jade slip, Han Muye stretched out his hand and opened the half-scroll of the Military Sword Technique.
He knew the Sword Condensing Technique and the Sword Nurturing Technique very well. He only lacked the Military Sword Technique.
However, the Military Sword Technique was already incomplete. According to the Sword Pavilion Elder, the other half must be in the hands of one of the nine sects of the Western Frontier.
“Using the sword as a body and the body as a soldier?”
