Chapter 287: Chapter 114: Helping My Junior Brother Break Through to the Soldier Lord Realm

The threat felt like a sharp spike, surfacing in his heart.

Countless bad, pessimistic possibilities had run through his mind over and over.

Li Xuan thought for a moment and asked, "Senior Sister, do the five peaks of our Lingyi Sect have different legacies?"

Feng Mengrou replied, "Each peak has a Spirit Treasure, containing the attack or multiple strikes from an unknown powerful figure, used as a trump card.

Then, the legacy of the Sect Leader’s Sunrise Peak is the Array, but only the Sect Leader knows it.

The legacy of Feiguang Peak is the mysterious Sword Control Skill.

Iron Wall Peak passes down several pieces known as Divine Weapon Stones, which, when combined with the Spirit Absorption Array, become exceptionally terrifying.

The legacy of White Cloud Peak is the Alchemy Skill, all our sect’s pills are made by them.

Purple Mist Peak is the most awkward; their legacy is the legendary Magic. It is said that Magic can harness the power of heaven and earth, but it cannot be cultivated because only those who have fused with the Upper Tier Nian Stone can cultivate Magic."

Each piece of information turned over...

Li Xuan’s understanding of the sect grew deeper.

Suddenly, he said, "Senior Sister, can you find me a flying sword?"

Feng Mengrou was astonished, "This... I..."

"Senior Sister, the Four Magic Forms are really difficult; this path requires complete self-exploration.

I think if I have a flying sword, I might be able to slowly explore this path." Li Xuan looked at her, his eyes gleaming with aspiration, "Sword Control Immortality has always been my dream. I wish I could soar the skies with you, Senior Sister, and wander the mountains and waters."

Feng Mengrou bit her lip.

Evidently, acquiring a flying sword was truly not an easy task.

After all, what’s the use for a flying sword without being a Soldier Master?

It is strictly monitored and limited in quantity.

However...

How could she disappoint her junior brother?

Her junior brother was so kind to her.

Her junior brother was so special.

She wanted to help him fulfill his dreams.

Even if the people of the sect didn’t understand her, didn’t understand her junior brother, she had to give it a try.

Then, Feng Mengrou’s expression became increasingly resolute, and she nodded slightly, smiling brightly, "Leave it to me. I have some connections after all these years. Besides, the sect ought to make some exceptions for such an outstanding junior brother."

Li Xuan:...

...

...

Days later, Feng Mengrou left in the snow.

She left worried, frowning deeply, seemingly racking her brain on how to get a flying sword for her junior brother.

...

...

This departure took Feng Mengrou a long time.

By February the following year, Li Xuan did not see Feng Mengrou but saw Wei Yao, who "successfully trained the Sword Array and went out for trials with senior and junior brothers and sisters".

He took the opportunity to approach Wei Yao.

Then, through Wei Yao, he learned that a woman in the sect was making a scene, looking for many people to get a flying sword, reportedly for her lover.

Li Xuan felt extremely awkward.

Wei Yao said, "The hilarious thing is, it seems that woman actually succeeded.

Honestly, I’ve realized that the sect is also a place where connections matter.

The people here aren’t even as understanding as the aristocratic families in ordinary towns; they are just a bunch of people with powerful abilities but ordinary personalities."

Li Xuan said gently, "Did you not ask the name of that woman?"

Wei Yao sighed, "I don’t have a high position, so how could I know such things? Had it been the master, she would surely know who that woman is."

Li Xuan said, "Didn’t Luo E mention anything to you?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Wei Yao shook her head.

Li Xuan hesitated, then pat Wei Yao’s shoulder, saying, "Don’t believe or spread rumors."

Wei Yao: ???

Li Xuan coughed, "That lover... might be below."

Wei Yao: !!!

Li Xuan acted thick-skinned, ignoring Wei Yao’s penetratingly shocked gaze, saying, "Maybe soon, I will come to the sect."

These years he hadn’t been idle.

The Xinci Temple and Fushou Sect had all been established.

Even Li Shu had become the Military Supervisor of the Royal Guard.

Of course, he also sought numerous famous Imperial Physicians to cure Li Jin’s dementia, but every physician said it was "a congenital ailment, unable to be cured completely."

Li Xuan felt guilty towards his son.

Precisely because of this, he planned to join the sect, looking for a solution.

...

...

March.

The warmth of spring, peach blossoms flutter elegantly.

After a night of spring rain, fallen flowers lay on the ground, swept up by the east wind, resembling a pink stream, gently flowing and winding.

Feng Mengrou finally returned.

She saw Li Xuan in the courtyard and proudly shook the sword in her hand.

Li Xuan stood up...

They exchanged a silent gaze, and then gently embraced.

Li Xuan saw Feng Mengrou’s reddened eyes and asked with a smile, "Why are you crying?"

Feng Mengrou stubbornly said, "The wind."

She didn’t speak a word about the difficulty in acquiring this flying sword.

Then, she handed the sword to Li Xuan, smiling brightly, "Look, Senior Sister promised you, and she will always deliver."

...

...

A few days later.

In the mountains...

Li Xuan grasped the flying sword.

That "Qi" he still hadn’t cultivated.

But time waits for no one; he couldn’t wait to enter the sect for trials.

He wanted to kill demons.

He wanted Demon Points.

The Spirit Root emanated from his palm, tightly entwining itself onto the unowned flying sword.

Indeed, a flying sword without "Qi" didn’t resist the slightest.

His Spirit Root quickly invaded the flying sword fiercely.

Soon, with a thought, the flying sword rose.

Swish, swish, swish!!

The flying sword hacked and slashed wildly in mid-air, with no sense of order, much less elegance.

Li Xuan stepped on the sword, his body trembled, and the flying sword finally began to rise slowly, as if... lifting himself with his own hands.

"Excellent!"

Li Xuan exhaled, wiping his forehead, murmuring, "This counts as entering the Soldier Lord Realm, right? Anyway, no one can tell."
