Half a day passed quickly.
Around midday, everyone on the cloud platform had chosen their assigned posts.
Fu Qianlan chose White River Town, while He Qi chose the Black Stone Mine. Both places carry considerable risks, demonstrating that neither of them is content with mediocrity.
However, compared to the locations chosen by the other two, Wind Howling Ford, which Chen Shuangbai chose, was the truly dangerous place.
After reviewing the general information about Wind Howling Ford, both of them couldn't help but slightly change their expressions.
He Qi stepped forward, his expression somewhat solemn, but mostly filled with admiration, and said, " Old Chen, you truly are the most ambitious of the three of us!"
Fu Qianlan looked intently at Chen Shuangbai, her tone tinged with worry, as if offering a warning. " Wind Howling Ford is a dangerous place. If you can't withstand it, be sure to inform us."
"Although we are weaker, we do have some connections, and if we do something, we can help you a little."
Chen Shuangbai smiled and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone present had made their choices, Exalted Cultivator Huo smiled. From the halo behind his head, rays of spiritual light fell and landed in front of them, transforming into talismans.
"This talisman can withstand one fatal injury. In addition, there are some spiritual materials for cultivation. You can collect them from the Expenditure Hall before you descend the mountain."
Splash!
The Daoist chant of harmony between feng shui and nature resounded once more, its profound mysteries flowing through his mind. The two boys behind Huo Exalted Cultivator Huo took a step forward and tossed the precious pearl and sword in their hands into the air.
The spirit pearl missed its target, transforming into streaks of mysterious light; the flying sword hovered in the air, tracing arcs of light.
The two lights combined, bursting forth with billions of sparks, exceptionally dazzling, as if celebrating for them.
"You are all promising talents from my Jade Spring Sect. Now that you have descended the mountain, I hope you will achieve great things, and I wish you all... a smooth Dao Path and success in your Immortal Dao!"
These words deeply moved all the new disciples on the cloud platform.
It seemed that they all possessed boundless ambition, eager to express it freely between heaven and earth.
The combined light transformed into a rainbow bridge, rising from the cloud platform, spanning the mountains, and heading outwards.
The disciples stepped onto the rainbow bridge, crossing the beautiful mountains and rivers within the sect, chatting and laughing, all displaying youthful spirit.
"Look below."
He Qi stood at the edge of the Rainbow Bridge, pointing down. Fu Qianlan and Chen Shuangbai also looked down and saw an old Daoist priest leading many young men and women up the mountain.
The old Daoist priest leading them was none other than Steward Deacon Tian, who had led them up the mountain.
Fu Qianlan couldn't help but sigh slightly, "A newcomer has arrived."
Aside from the once-a-decade selection of immortal talents, the Jade Spring Sect also has elders' recommendations, lineage recommendations, and members sent by the Jing Kingdom's royal family; otherwise, there simply wouldn't be enough new disciples.
Looking at the energetic young men and women on the mountain path below, Chen Shuangbai was deeply moved.
Not long after.
After leaving the mountains, the disciples rushed to their posts, some riding Law Artifact, some riding Demon Beast, and some wanting to explore the mountains and rivers on foot.
Chen Shuangbai and the other two originally planned to go home before heading to the garrison, and since their hometowns were all relatively close, they decided to go home together.
"Come ride in my flying boat!"
He Qi chuckled and released a flying boat. Judging from its craftsmanship and the materials used in its construction, it was clearly a fine flying magical Law Artifact.
The three boarded the flying boat and were about to depart.
Chen Shuangbai suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.
" Chen Shuangbai, please wait a moment!"
Not long after.
A streak of fire flew from the mountains surrounding the sect. When it landed nearby, everyone realized that it was a sect member whose entire body was covered in black, even his fair face was covered with something resembling soot.
But Chen Shuangbai still noticed it.
" Senior Brother Du?!"
Du Zifeng nodded, then took out an item from his Storage Bag at his waist: a sword and two scabbards.
The three looked at the sword; although it was sheathed, the spiritual energy emanating from its blade was still evident.
"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Du!"
Chen Shuangbai bowed respectfully to Du Zifeng to express her gratitude.
Not long ago.
Chen Shuangbai used Moon Soul True Water to revive the locust tree heart he obtained from Great Locust Village, removing the evil poison from it and restoring its vitality. Adhering to the idea of not bothering two masters for one matter, he also asked Du Zifeng to forge a wooden sword for him.
I had thought I wouldn't be able to get it before I went down the mountain; I could only wait until it was finished and then deliver it to the place I had chosen to guard, and hand it over to me.
Unexpectedly, Du Zifeng rushed day and night, finally managing to entrust the sword to Chen Shuangbai before he descended the mountain.
Not only did he forge a wooden flying sword, he also forged a scabbard for his Cold Spring Sword.
Du Zifeng waved his hand, casually wiped the dirt off his face, and said, "As long as you don't blame me."
Initially, Chen Shuangbai commissioned him to forge a precious banner for him, but Du Zifeng had high standards and needed to consult his mentor on many key aspects, so it has not yet been completed.
He was also embarrassed, which is why he rushed to make the wooden flying sword and entrusted it to Chen Shuangbai.
"The locust wood heartwood you entrusted to me before, because locust trees are considered yin, I felt it wasn't quite suitable, so I had someone replace it with a paulownia wood heartwood, and forged this Green Parasol Tree Sword. Try it out, see if it feels comfortable in your hand?"
Chen Shuangbai also summoned the Cold Spring Sword and inserted it into its sheath.
After a slight refinement with Law Power, the two swords were now suspended in front of me.
A cold, gleaming light shines through it, accompanied by the melodious tinkling of a clear spring.
A clear, gleaming light emanates from the paulownia tree, its vibrant fragrance filling the air like a gentle spring breeze.
"Perfectly suited."
Seeing the satisfied smile on his employer Chen Shuangbai's face, Du Zifeng couldn't help but smile as well. He then inquired about the location Chen Shuangbai had chosen to guard the area, promising to deliver it once he had finished refining the precious banner, before returning to the mountain gate.
The airship slowly rose into the sky, heading towards its hometown.
Feiguang was also released by Chen Shuangbai, soaring around the sides of the flying boat, sometimes up, sometimes down, sometimes left, sometimes right, truly enjoying himself immensely.
Chen Shuangbai first held the Cold Spring Sword, which was inserted into its scabbard, in his hand. Sensing the faint spiritual energy within it, he realized that the scabbard also had the function of nurturing the sword.
He then put it into his Storage Bag, held the Green Parasol Tree Sword in his hands, and carefully felt the warm and gentle feeling of wood virtue emanating from it.
He slowly gripped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, his thumb gently pushing against the guard.
"Zheng--!"
Unlike the sharpness of the Cold Spring Sword, this sword has an overall jade-like color, with naturally formed wood grain on its blade, and the entire sword exudes a rich fragrance of herbs and vibrant life.
"A fine sword."
The Cold Spring Sword is associated with water, is sharp and swift, and excels at surprise attacks and targeted kills. The Green Parasol Tree Sword is associated with wood, is full of vitality, and excels at close combat and controlling the battlefield, which is more in line with the endless life force of the Spring Rain and Flowering Wood Sword Instruction.
With the two swords working together, one representing water and the other wood, complementing each other, his offensive methods became more comprehensive.
Chen Shuangbai had also seen the " Spring Rain and Flowering Wood Sword Instruction " he was practicing. This sword technique required two flying swords, so the arrival of the Green Parasol Tree Sword at this time truly made him even more powerful.
Fu Qianlan and He Qi also offered their congratulations.
