At the mountain gate, an old man lay on a chair.
Place your hands on your stomach and close your eyes.
There was no trace of a cultivator emanating from this old man!
He seemed to be just an ordinary old man.
As Lin Jie walked past, he bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to the old man.
Mu Cisheng followed suit without hesitation.
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai did the same thing as Shi Sheng and Xiao Hei.
As the three straightened up, preparing to follow Lin Jie into the Starfall Sword Sect Sect's mountain gate...
The old man murmured as if in a dream, "It's understandable that Lin Jie bowed to me, since he's from the Sword Ancestor."
" Mu Cisheng many times; he is a guest of the Starfall Sword Sect, so this courtesy is only appropriate."
"And you, who are complete strangers to this old man and are not members of the Sword Ancestor, why do you bow to me?"
Ye Qiubai stopped, without turning around, and smiled at the old man with his back to him, "Respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a basic human virtue, shouldn't it be something everyone should do?"
After saying that, Ye Qiubai continued to follow Lin Jie into the mountain gate.
"Respecting the elderly and caring for the young are basic human virtues."
The old man muttered to himself and opened his eyes.
Those eyes did not have the cloudiness of an old person.
Yes, it exists, but it's chillingly clear!
At the same time, a glimmer of light flashed.
A glint of light flashed.
A surge of overwhelming Sword Intent flashed and disappeared around the old man's body!
If Ye Qiubai could sense this Sword Intent.
They must have been surprised to find that this Sword Intent was even stronger than that of the Heavenly Demon Sword Saint or the Four Absolutes Sword Saint!
"Yes, this is the beginning of human nature, but now, I wonder how many people have forgotten it..."
The old man closed his eyes again, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"He's a good kid..."
On the road.
Lin Jie explained, "The old man has been lying there ever since my master brought me back to the Starfall Sword Sect. None of the disciples know his identity, but no one has disturbed him."
Ye Qiubai nodded.
That has nothing to do with him.
Bowing is merely a matter of etiquette.
However, Ye Qiubai had no interest in anything Elder Yu.
The two were complete strangers and there was no need for them to know.
"Alright, since you wish to make a pilgrimage, I will take you to consult your master first."
The Master at the Lin Jie.
That was Starfall Sword Sect Jian Wufeng.
Similarly, he is one of the very few who have reached the Supreme Realm in Sword Dao!
The five of them arrived at Cloud-Breaking Peak.
Outside the main hall of the sect.
Xiao Heishi and Mu Cisheng waited outside.
After Lin Jie, Lin Jie led Ye Qiubai inside.
At this moment, a middle-aged man sat on the ground, wiping the heavy sword that rested on his lap with a white cloth.
Jian Wufeng.
Yet it revealed Supreme Sword Intent!
Ye Qiubai looked at the heavy sword, which was clearly free of any dust.
The middle-aged man remained focused, carefully and meticulously wiping the heavy sword.
Only those who love swords.
Only then can one go further on the path of Sword Dao.
This is not the only condition, but it is a necessary condition!
To be able to take such meticulous care of one's sword.
This man is definitely a powerful swordsman.
This was what Ye Qiubai was thinking at that moment.
Lin Jie walked up to the middle-aged man, bowed, and said, "Master, I have brought Ye Qiubai with me."
However, the middle-aged man did not look up.
As if he hadn't heard Lin Jie speak, he continued wiping the blunt heavy sword on his lap.
Lin Jie, however, paid no attention to it, simply stood up straight and waited quietly.
Finally, after an hour.
The middle-aged man's eyes changed.
She slightly raised her head.
He examined the heavy sword carefully, and after confirming that it was not dirty, he nodded.
He immediately got up, but his first instinct wasn't to check on the Lin Jie.
It was as if Lin Jie and Ye Qiubai did not exist.
It passed right through the two of them.
They walked out of the hall.
Lin Jie and Ye Qiubai followed.
We came to a grove of trees.
In the woods, there is a pool of clear spring water.
The spring water was filled with Sword Intent!
This Sword Intent startled even Ye Qiubai!
Jian Wufeng carefully washed the handkerchief he had used to wipe the Wufeng Heavy Sword in the sword pool.
Ye Qiubai was surprised to discover...
Within that pure white handkerchief, a considerable amount of dirt, resembling dust, was washed out by the sword pool!
At this moment.
Jian Wufeng spoke.
Some say, "Seeing is believing."
The meaning of this statement is correct, but sometimes, it is our eyes that deceive us.
"Just like this white cloth, you think my sword is very clean, but now, it's been washed clean of so much dirt."
Ye Qiubai was stunned.
It seemed as if it had grasped something.
They entered a state of profound mystery.
This is Celestial Person State!
Lin Jie was taken aback.
After washing the white cloth, Jian Wufeng put it away and looked at Ye Qiubai with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Sometimes, seeing is believing.
Sometimes, seeing is believing.
So, how can we distinguish between what is real and what is false?
The answer is obvious.
Feel it with your heart.
Ye Qiubai had already comprehended the Clear Sword Heart.
And in Jian Wufeng's seemingly unintentional words.
Sword Heart was tempered once again.
The Sword Intent also began to rise at this moment!
The Lin Jie can be sensed.
Ye Qiubai's Sword Intent is undergoing a transformation!
It took a full three days.
He has reached the realm of Half-Step Sword Saint!
Ye Qiubai then opened his eyes, looked at Jian Wufeng, walked over, his expression serious, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
Jian Wufeng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I didn't give you any pointers; I just like to ramble on and on."
Ye Qiubai smiled and said, "How can such guidance be considered nonsense?"
Upon hearing this...
Jian Wufeng pointed to Lin Jie, whose face was somewhat ashamed, and said, "Look, isn't there someone here who just listens to nonsense?"
"Otherwise, why are you in the Celestial Person State while my disciple is still standing there dumbfounded?"
Lin Jie was already Lin Jie somewhat ashamed.
After hearing his master's sarcastic remarks, he wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it.
Be a groundhog...
Jian Wufeng waved his hand and said, "Alright, I know about your matter. Go ahead, I've already spoken to others."
After saying that, Jian Wufeng left the forest and entered the sect's main hall.
Ye Qiubai bowed once more to Jian Wufeng figure.
Only then did it leave the Lin Jie.
Inside the main hall of the sect.
Jian Wufeng sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly began to brew tea.
Then they began to speak.
" Elder Jian, this child is not bad."
There was no one else beside Jian Wufeng.
But.
At the entrance of the Starfall Sword Sect.
The old man lying on the wooden chair also began to talk to himself.
"That's good. It would be best to find a way to get him to join the Starfall Sword Sect. This child is more suitable than Lin Jie to lead the Starfall Sword Sect to regain its glory."
"Whether it's character or talent."
"With Linjie and the two of them by our Lin Jie, the Starfall Sword Sect will flourish even more in the future."
Jian Wufeng nodded. "I will, but then Uncle Jian will probably have to teach him personally."
The old man nodded without hesitation.
