The white-clad swordswoman was about to leave after opening her eyes.
But as she passed Lin Xuan, she suddenly sensed the Sword Intent emanating from Lin Xuan, and immediately stopped slightly, letting out a soft "Eh."
Although Lin Xuan had largely suppressed his Sword Intent, some Sword Intent still lingered during his comprehension process.
It was this exposed Sword Intent that allowed the girl in white to perceive it.
The girl in white, Duan Nianwei, stared at Lin Xuan with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
'A new face... looks like a freshman?'
An idea flashed through her mind, and then she sensed the Sword Intent surrounding Lin Xuan and sighed slightly.
It's truly remarkable that a newcomer possesses such Sword Intent.
When he noticed the gaze directed at him, Lin Xuan slightly opened his eyes and looked in the direction from which the gaze was coming from.
When she saw the person she was watching open their eyes and look at her, Duan Nianwei didn't flinch. Instead, she pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
" Your Sword Intent is good, but it lacks some sharpness. A swordsman should be fearless and unstoppable. Now, you should find a way to rekindle your own sharpness, so that you can take another step forward."
The Duan Nianwei finished speaking, almost everyone else nearby looked over in surprise.
Everyone was very curious about who could receive guidance from this genius swordsman.
But when they saw that the Duan Nianwei was speaking to was someone they had never seen before, everyone was stunned and speechless for a long time.
After a moment of stunned silence, someone said with envy and resentment, "Tsk! A freshman, to actually get guidance from Duan Nianwei, he's really hit the jackpot!"
You know, this isn't just anyone, it's Duan Nianwei!
She is one of the top sword cultivators in the Supreme Institute, having comprehended the fourth level of perfect Sword Intent!
Many people want her guidance, but none of them have the means.
Unexpectedly, it was won by a freshman they didn't even know!
"This is such a huge bargain! I never expected a freshman to get it."
Some people clicked their tongues in amazement, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy as they looked at Lin Xuan.
"Damn it, why wasn't it me?"
"Yeah, I really want to be mentored by Duan Nianwei too! These freshmen are just too lucky."
Listening to the conversations of those around him, Lin Xuan learned the identity of the girl in front of him.
The genius swordsman girl Duan Nianwei...
He felt somewhat helpless.
Duan Nianwei said that his Sword Intent was not sharp enough because his Sword Intent had now reached the realm of transcending the original essence, where all sharpness was hidden in the formless, like a needle hidden in cotton, with inner beauty but no sharpness.
It's definitely not as she said, that it lacks sharpness.
With his understanding of Sword Intent, he naturally didn't need Duan Nianwei's guidance, who possessed a perfect fourth-level Sword Intent. Not to mention a perfect fourth-level Sword Intent, even the sword masters of the Supreme Institute might not be qualified to guide him, let alone Duan Nianwei.
However, Lin Xuan also knew that the girl in front of him was genuinely kind-hearted, so he nodded.
"Thank you for your guidance, young lady."
Duan Nianwei nodded casually, her expression still aloof, and she didn't utter a word, as if she hadn't been the one who had just spoken.
She only spoke up because she was eager to try something new.
As a Sword Dao prodigy, she not only possessed talent, but also genuinely regarded the sword as her constant companion.
Naturally, we don't want someone to possess talent but fail to utilize it and thus squander their potential.
Seeing that Lin Xuan seemed to understand her meaning, Duan Nianwei said no more and turned to leave.
Although the others were still jealous that Lin Xuan had received guidance from Duan Nianwei, once Duan Nianwei left and Lin Xuan closed his eyes and remained silent, no one came to disturb him.
This is, after all, an academy.
We are all from the same school.
No matter how envious or jealous you are, you can't make a move within the academy.
Lin Xuan sighed inwardly. Just now, Duan Nianwei's white clothes and her impressive sword cultivation talent inevitably reminded him of her.
I wonder how Lianxin is doing now...
Not to mention Lianxin, he didn't know where the other disciples in the Sword Pavilion, or even Heavenly Venerable Yunli and the others, were. Although the jade talismans of the Sword Pavilion could sense each other within a certain range, the distance was still too far.
It was so far away that he couldn't sense it at all.
We can only speculate that they are probably also in the Eastern Continent.
Unfortunately, the Eastern Continent is so vast. The Primordial Domain, where the Primordial Holy Institute is located, is ridiculously large, no smaller than the Profound Domain. Finding someone is not a simple matter at all.
Furthermore...
This was something that left Lin Xuan even more helpless.
His current strength is insufficient to support him in the arduous journey to find someone.
The spatial turbulence was truly terrifying. His injuries were severe, and his internal organs were in a terrible state. Even though his physical body had recovered somewhat, the injuries to his soul had not been effectively treated.
If it is to be restored, only an Emperor Pill of the ninth rank or higher can repair it.
Moreover, it must be something related to the soul.
However, such elixirs are extremely difficult to find.
Even Lin Xuan couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
His wealth is not small, but that's only relative. If he wanted to buy an Emperor Pill, even several times his current wealth wouldn't be enough.
Moreover, such pills are usually not found in the hands of Rogue Person; they are more likely to be encountered at auctions, where items are generally sold at a premium.
Demon-Subduing Hall...
That is one possible approach.
However, his current injuries are not very stable, and it is unlikely that he will be able to reach the level that can give him an Emperor Pill if he rushes in.
After shaking his head, Lin Xuan put the matter out of his mind for the time being.
His most pressing concern right now is that his disciples are not by his side, and moreover, he doesn't have enough disciples.
The more disciples he takes on, the faster his cultivation speed will increase, and the faster he will recover.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
When the time was up, Lin Xuan simply left the meditation spot and headed towards the mission hall.
Many students, mostly at the Emperor Realm level, were coming and going in the Mission Hall.
Looking at them, Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
As expected of the Holy Academy, a twenty-something-year-old prodigy at the Emperor Realm Profound Domain, but here... he's just an ordinary student.
He casually walked into the mission hall, went to the mission board, and glanced at it. There were almost every kind of mission on the board.
They are incredibly diverse.
The level of danger is also extraordinary.
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, and finally, removed a task from the task list.
A... wanted mission.
The wanted person is a remnant of the Karmic Fire Demon Cult that was once destroyed by the Holy Heaven, and is also their young master.
His cultivation level was at the Perfect Emperor Realm, but it was not an ordinary Perfect Emperor Realm.
However, even if it's not a typical Perfect Emperor Realm expert, it doesn't matter to Lin Xuan.
He was absolutely confident in handling the situation.
Besides wanting to give it a try, another reason was that the reward for this task was very useful to him at the moment.
The reward is an eighth-tier spirit pill that can repair the soul.
This is what Lin Xuan needs most right now. Although it's only eighth-tier, ninth-tier Emperor Pills for repairing the soul are extremely hard to find.
His soul was injured, which affected Lin Xuan's ability to use the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array Formation. He had to heal his soul injury first.
Two days after accepting the mission, the departure time specified in the mission plan will be set.
Lin Xuan arrived at the designated starting point for the mission and, unsurprisingly, saw other people there as well.
The wanted mission he accepted did not limit the number of people who could take on the mission; as long as it was completed, all members who accepted the mission would receive a reward.
Lin Xuan knew that he might not be the only one to accept this task, after all, the reward was too generous, it was an eighth-order elixir for repairing the soul.
Besides him, three other people accepted the mission.
Unlike Lin Xuan, those three were all at the Venerable Realm!
As Lin Xuan saw them, they also saw Lin Xuan. When they noticed Lin Xuan's cultivation level, they were all taken aback.
One of them even let out a cold laugh.
" The Emperor Realm!?"
"They're not even at the Venerable Realm, yet they dare to accept a mission of this level?"
"You're asking for death, but this isn't how you do it."
