The Flower Washing Twin Heroes Arrive Together, the Patriarch's Sword Intent Reflects an Immortal Visage
The Old Man Fish Pillow seemed to have read Chen Shuangbai's mind, and chuckled, saying, "You don't need to think so much."
"Admittedly, this [ Treasure Kerchief ] tree can be considered a treasured tree of the sect's highest level for our Flower Washing Sword Sect. However, over the years, our sect has either given away the flower dew as a gift or demanded an equivalent amount of spiritual resources in exchange. The existence of this tree is no secret."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai realized that she had been judging others by her own petty standards, and felt somewhat ashamed.
Old Man Fish Pillow chuckled, finding it rare to see this Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal display such a childlike demeanor, which instead revealed a certain liveliness befitting his age.
The Old Man Fish Pillow added, "Besides that, I brought you here so you could see the splendor of this precious tree and also so you could cultivate here for a while."
"Having practiced for some time?"
Chen Shuangbai repeated her words, then, as if realizing something, asked, "Could it be...?"
Meeting his gaze, Old Man Fish Pillow smiled and nodded gently. Then he turned his head, reached out and gently stroked the gnarled branches, and said wistfully, "The founder who brought it back to my Flower Washing Sword Sect was a sword immortal who had cultivated Sword Intent."
"That patriarch often practiced his swordplay under this tree, dancing with heaven and earth, and discussing profound mysteries with fellow Daoists."
"Although [ Treasure Kerchief ] has not yet developed a spirit, she is spiritually aware and has become skilled in swordsmanship over time."
"Even at certain specific moments, the scene of that patriarch practicing his sword under the tree will appear."
"Such a wondrous place exists?"
Chen Shuangbai was also quite amazed, marveling at the tree's mystique, but his keen intellect allowed him to immediately understand.
A sword immortal who cultivated Sword Intent once danced with his sword under this tree... and at certain moments that scene can be recreated... wouldn't it be possible to recreate that sword immortal's Sword Intent as well?
The Flower Washing Sword Sect currently has no one who has cultivated Sword Intent, but based on the shared lineage, they will ultimately arrive at the same goal through different paths. Perhaps if a suitable disciple from the sect were to come here, take a look, and comprehend its meaning, he might just be able to understand it!
After understanding the general meaning behind the Old Man Fish Pillow's fortuitous opportunity of this opportunity, Chen Shuangbai felt much more at ease.
What he feared most was not being able to repay others' kindness. Now, if he could help the Flower Washing Sword Sect, he would feel more at ease accepting this fortuitous opportunity.
Seeing the calm and understanding in Chen Shuangbai's eyes, the Old Man Fish Pillow was deeply moved once again.
Such talent, such comprehension, and such a clever mind... It's a pity she didn't join my Flower Washing Sword Sect!
"It seems you've already guessed most of what's going on without me having to say anything."
The Old Man Fish Pillow put aside his ulterior motives and said gently, "After the flower dew has successfully condensed in a few days, I will have Clear River and Aheng come here to cultivate with you for a period of time."
"I will write a letter to True Lord Jihai explaining this matter; it shouldn't be too long."
"Although Clear River and Aheng are over two hundred years older than you, they are still better off than this old man. You young people will surely have more to talk about... So, shall this matter be settled?"
What else could Chen Shuangbai say?
Since they have considered all aspects and everything is beneficial to me, there is no reason to refuse.
"Then thank you very much, Senior Uncle."
The Old Man Fish Pillow grinned from ear to ear, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "No need to thank me, on the contrary, my sect and I should thank you more."
"I would be grateful if you could guide Clear River and Aheng further. I don't expect them to immediately grasp the Sword Intent... I only wish to witness the grandeur of our ancestor's swordsmanship and the Sword Intent... That would make me happy."
After leaving this place, Old Man Fish Pillow summoned a disciple and led Chen Shuangbai to the Immortal Courtyard set up by the Flower Washing Sword Sect for guests to rest.
The male disciple was quite handsome, but standing next to the rising Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself.
This is not to say that Chen Shuangbai was aggressive. On the contrary, in order to show respect for the Flower Washing Sword Sect, she concealed her Divine Ability powers and appeared in her original form. However, her appearance was like that of a fairy in the moon, unlike anything in the mortal world. Naturally, people felt that they dared not approach her, for fear of defiling this radiant jade.
The male disciple took a few deep breaths to suppress his trembling and led the way.
"Senior Sword Immortal, please follow me."
Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly and smiled, "Thank you for your trouble."
After watching the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal enter his abode, the male disciple finally breathed a long sigh of relief, but then felt an indescribable excitement and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"I guided the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal?!"
"I'm here to guide the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal!"
"Hehe, now I can brag about this to my fellow disciples when I get back."
The disciple hummed a song and, in high spirits, leaped away.
The next day.
Two beams of light, one green and one blue, fell from outside. As the light faded, two human figures were revealed.
One of them was Liu Qinghe, whom Chen Shuangbai well. Dressed in green with a sword at his waist, he was like a fine sword sheathed, its sharpness concealed, yet possessing an extraordinary and unique temperament.
He saw Chen Shuangbai emerge from the door, a smile appearing on his face. He cupped his hands and said, " Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, how have you been?"
Chen Shuangbai chuckled and said, "Is Senior Brother Liu making fun of Junior Brother?"
Liu Qinghe winked and made faces, which was quite strange. Then he Chen Shuangbai, saying, "This is my junior brother, Qu Heng."
Chen Shuangbai understood.
So this was Qu Heng, one of the Flower Washing Twin Heroes.
He was dressed in a light blue Daoist robe, with several bamboo stalks embroidered on the hem. He had a handsome face, eyes like cold stars, and well-defined lips. He was a rare and beautiful man.
When Qu Heng saw the renowned Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal looking at him, he became somewhat flustered and bowed respectfully, saying, " Qu Heng greets Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal."
Chen Shuangbai smiled and shook his head, saying, "Senior Brother Liu is of a higher generation than me, so logically you should also be of a higher generation than me. Besides, I am not as old as either of you. I should be the junior brother, and you two should be the senior brothers!"
"Senior Brother Qu, please don't call me by the wrong name next time."
Qu Heng was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but look at his senior brother Liu Qinghe beside him, only to hear the other party say casually, "See? I told you that Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal is easy to talk to."
Hearing his senior brother, a direct descendant, joking like this, Qu Heng finally relaxed, and his restraint lessened considerably.
After welcoming the two into the Immortal Abode, Chen Shuangbai led them to a pavilion atop a high cliff.
Unlike the fierce peaks of the Jade Spring Sect, the wind of the Flower Washing Sword Sect... seems much gentler, like a beautiful and amorous woman draped in a long, soft veil, gently caressing the skin of everyone in the mountains.
Chen Shuangbai took the initiative to ask, "I wonder if you two senior brothers have come to see me today for matters of cultivation?"
