Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 203 – Elder Lin’s Sword Spirit

Meng Fan looked at Liu Yanping, hesitating a bit.

At this moment, he was naturally reluctant to go out and participate in any training missions. His cultivation was progressing extremely smoothly.

He even wanted to push through and directly cultivate to the Condensation Pill Realm.

At this rate, he would be able to reach the Condensation Pill Realm in at most a year!

However, Liu Yanping had helped him before, and there was some camaraderie between them.

Moreover, this young lady rarely sought him out. This was the first time in months she had asked him for help.

Since Princess Yuqi of the Great Dragon Empire left last time, this young lady hadn't asked him for any favors.

Just as Meng Fan was hesitating, he suddenly heard Elder Lin's voice transmission.

"Agree to it!"

With Elder Lin's command, Meng Fan no longer hesitated and nodded, "Alright, when do we leave?"

Hearing Meng Fan's agreement, Liu Yanping's face lit up with excitement, and she quickly said, "We leave in three days."

"Alright, come find me when we depart in three days."

***

After Liu Yanping left, Meng Fan went to the second floor of the Sword Pavilion.

Curiously, he asked Elder Lin, "Master, why did you want me to agree to Liu Yanping's request?"

Elder Lin's involvement in such a small matter was indeed unexpected for Meng Fan.

In Meng Fan's memory, although Elder Lin had shown some care for Liu Yanping out of respect for her grandfather, it was never to this extent.

Elder Lin said, "There is a village called Longquan near Kongyue Town. You can go there on the way and find a man named Li Sansi."

Li Sansi?

Meng Fan thought for a moment but had never heard of such a person.

"Master, what should I do after I find him?" he asked.

Elder Lin produced a jade pendant and handed it to Meng Fan.

"After you find him, give him this jade pendant and ask him for a sword, the Wind and Thunder Sword."

Ask for a sword?

Although puzzled, Meng Fan didn't ask further and nodded directly.

Since Elder Lin rarely assigned him tasks, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Remember, after you get the sword, put it in your storage ring and bring it back. Do not draw the sword," Elder Lin instructed.

Hearing this, Meng Fan couldn't help but ask, "Master, what grade of sword is this?"

For him, any sword above the Spiritual Sword level couldn't be drawn lightly; otherwise, it would backfire and be unbearable.

Ordinary Law Swords could be drawn, but trying to subdue the sword spirit might still be dangerous.

Of course, it was uncertain whether he could withstand it; he might still die from the backlash!

As for Dao Swords or Divine Swords, there was no need to think about it. Drawing them would mean certain death.

No, even touching a Dao Sword or Divine Sword without drawing it could be dangerous.

So, if Elder Lin wanted him to retrieve a sword, it shouldn't be a Dao Sword or Divine Sword.

A Spiritual Sword wouldn't warrant such a fuss either.

By this logic, it was most likely a Law Sword, Meng Fan speculated.

"It's a Dao Sword, but as long as you don't draw it, it won't harm you because you cultivate the Pure Yang Thunder Cultivation Scripture," Elder Lin said to Meng Fan.

Cultivating the Pure Yang Thunder Cultivation Scripture would prevent the Dao Sword from harming him?

Meng Fan frowned, suspiciously asking, "Master, could that sword be..."

"It was my saber," Elder Lin said directly.

Since it was Elder Lin's saber, retrieving it was even more of an obligation.

"Rest assured, Master, I will definitely bring back the sword."

Elder Lin nodded and said to Meng Fan, "Take out the Red Sheep Sword."

Red Sheep Sword?

Upon hearing this, Meng Fan didn't hesitate and immediately took out the Red Sheep Sword.

Elder Lin took the Red Sheep Sword from Meng Fan's hand and pointed his index finger at it.

Meng Fan watched silently, unable to discern what was happening.

Although he couldn't see anything, he knew Elder Lin must have done something to the Red Sheep Sword.

Sure enough, Elder Lin returned the Red Sheep Sword to Meng Fan and said, "If he refuses to return the sword, activate the Red Sheep Sword with your Pure Yang Thunder True Qi. I have left a trace of Sword God in the Red Sheep Sword to protect you."

Sword God?

The primordial spirit of the sword!

A technique surpassing the Sword Spirit level.

Meng Fan was suddenly a bit shocked; this was a significant gesture.

"Master, who is this Li Sansi that requires such a grand arrangement?" Meng Fan asked.

Elder Lin's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia. He sighed and said helplessly, "In terms of seniority, you should call him Martial Uncle."

Meng Fan immediately understood that this Li Sansi was Elder Lin's junior brother.

And judging by Elder Lin's expression, he wasn't just any junior brother from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect but a true brother from the same master.

"Why isn't Martial Uncle in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect now?" Meng Fan asked curiously.

Not only was he not in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, but he was also hiding in a small village. This didn't make sense.

Such a great master, willing to live in a small village?

"Because, like Wu Tian, he is an abandoned disciple of the sect!" Elder Lin's tone was filled with helplessness.

Another abandoned disciple?

Meng Fan suddenly felt that there seemed to be more abandoned disciples in righteous sects than in demonic sects.

Thinking about it, it wasn't hard to understand.

After all, righteous sects had many rules, making it easy to violate them and be expelled.

Meng Fan couldn't help but think that with his temperament, he might also be expelled from the sect in the future.

Currently, he was peacefully cultivating in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, rarely leaving and having little contact with others in the sect, avoiding any trouble.

But in the future, as his cultivation level increased and he encountered more people and events, he might face some troublesome situations.

If that happened, with his personality, he would likely follow his heart rather than the sect's rules!

He hoped that day would never come.

Meng Fan silently comforted himself.

"What did Martial Uncle do to be expelled from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect?" Meng Fan asked curiously.

"Fratricide, killing fellow disciples!"

Hearing these eight words from Elder Lin, Meng Fan's expression turned serious.

This was no small matter and was one of the greatest taboos in any sect.

Committing such an act, being expelled was the least of the consequences; in severe cases, one could be executed!

In comparison, Lin Jian's love for his master was a minor issue.

Yet, even so, Lin Jian and his master were expelled from the sect, and their cultivation was abolished.

From Elder Lin's injection of a trace of Sword God into the Red Sheep Sword, it was clear that this Martial Uncle's cultivation hadn't been abolished!

Suddenly, Meng Fan felt that Lin Jian and Lu Xiaoyun were quite pitiful.

"Your Martial Uncle has likely fallen into the demonic path, so you need to be cautious. But with my trace of Sword God, you don't need to worry too much; it will keep you safe!"
