Chapter 377 Visiting an Old Friend

The news of Daozi's release spread quickly throughout the Dao Palace as if it had wings.

So, in the next few days, Xu Jun met several teachers with whom he had excellent relationships.

The first person to bear the brunt was naturally Guan Ziqian of the Kendo Branch.

When Xu Jun came to the Kendo branch, he not only met the dean Guan Ziqian, but also her close disciple Zhen Yulian.

When they saw Zhen Yulian, the two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Guan Ziqian frowned slightly.

Zhen Yulian was a disciple she had high hopes for, and she had never let herself down.

In the middle stage of foundation building, he can understand the rudimentary form of sword energy turning into a python, and he is expected to completely transform into a python before being promoted to the golden elixir.

Such talent is the foundation of Zhen Yulian's career, and it is also an achievement that Guan Ziqian is proud of.

Therefore, she did not want this most outstanding disciple to delay his cultivation because of weird things like love and love.

However, when she looked at Xu Junzhi, she couldn't say anything to dissuade him.

There was nothing she could do about it, this guy was so good that it even made her fearful.

If Zhen Yulian could become a Taoist couple with him...

Although Guan Ziqian was still unwilling, he had to admit that this was the best choice for his precious apprentice.

"Dean, Teacher Zhen." Xu Jun said respectfully.

Guan Ziqian nodded slightly and said, "It's great to congratulate Daozi for coming out of seclusion." She paused and said, "I heard someone said that you have been practicing swordsmanship and talismans in seclusion this time, and have achieved success?"

Xu Jun secretly thought, is this Lei Dao branch a sieve? This word must have spread too quickly.

Facing Guan Ziqian's expectant gaze, Xu Jun coughed lightly and said helplessly: "A small achievement, nothing to mention."

"Haha, I don't understand the way of talismans, so I won't ask." Guan Ziqian said cheerfully: "What have you learned in the way of swordsmanship? Tell me and listen."

Xu Jun was startled, his eyes a little strange.

I have been in seclusion for the past two years, and I have been concentrating on engraving the origin of sword energy, and I have reached more than 4,000 paths.

This is the way of King Sword. Do you really want to know?

Xu Jun knew that if he told the truth, Guan Ziqian might not fall out, but he would definitely not look good on him.

Although Xu Jun is no longer afraid of Guan Ziqian, looking at Zhen Yulian behind her, Xu Jun doesn't want to cause more trouble.

Seeing Xu Jun's hesitation, Guan Ziqian looked a little calm and said, "Did Daozi practice the way of the king's sword in the past two years?"

Xu Jun thought to himself, your old man's premonition is so accurate.

However, he himself raised his head and said: "Dean, you are half right."

Guan Ziqian said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"

Xu Jun chuckled, his mind was filled with thoughts, and then an idea came to him.

"The student has been thinking about a problem for the past two years." He said nonsensically in a serious manner: "There are two types of swordsmanship: King Sword and Qijian. Each of these two swordsmanship has its own strengths. Even if you choose one of the two, you can still dominate the world. But , if someone can combine the best of both worlds..."

"Impossible!" Guan Ziqian said categorically, and then she immediately realized that her words seemed a bit excessive.

Now Xu Jun is no longer the boy who just entered the Taoist Palace.

Nowadays, Xu Jun's third cultivation of swordsmanship and body, in terms of swordsmanship alone, can achieve the two magical skills of forming a formation of a thousand swords and transforming sword energy into a python, which are equivalent to the combat power of the golden elixir.

Therefore, even though it was Guan Ziqian, he had already treated him as a peer.

After sighing, Guan Zi Qian restrained himself a little and said: "Daozi, I know that you are a genius, and you dream of merging the strengths of the two. But in fact, this is absolutely impossible to do."

Xu Jun asked in surprise: "Why?"

"Because of experience." Guan Ziqian said helplessly: "In fact, since the establishment of the Immortal Alliance, I don't know how many great swordsmen have had similar ideas and are willing to devote their lives to this. However, twenty thousand years Since then, no one has succeeded.”

Xu Jun said in a deep voice: "Dean, if others can't do it, it doesn't necessarily mean that I can't do it."

Guan Ziqian resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said: "Daozi, this matter has been verified by countless sages and proven to be undesirable. If you don't believe it, look at it. There are countless documents on Dao Palace swordsmanship, but is there any discussion on this aspect?"

Xu Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking of the documents about kendo that he had read in the Tao Palace.

Indeed, he had never discovered this exploration.

Seeing the doubtful look on Xu Jun's face, Guan Ziqian explained: "That's because thousands of years ago, all the swordsman masters unanimously decided to list all knowledge in this area as taboo and not allowed to be disseminated or studied."

"Ah, why?" Xu Jun was really surprised this time.

The cultivation atmosphere of the Immortal Alliance is extremely open. When cultivating here, it can be said that a hundred flowers bloom. As long as you are not involved in demonic cultivation, then everything is easy.

However, the Immortal Alliance actually banned the study of the fusion of Wang Jian and Qijian...

Xu Jun was really confused.

Guan Ziqian sighed softly and said, "Daozi, do you know how the ancestor of the Immortal Alliance Sword Immortal disappeared?"

There is only one person who can be called the Sword Immortal of the Immortal Alliance and be called the ancestor.

The best sword in the world, surpassing the swordsman Li Mubai of an era.

Xu Jun blinked twice and said: "Didn't the ancestor of the Sword Immortal leave the Immortal Alliance because of the invincible hand of the contemporary generation and in order to find opportunities for breakthrough?"

Guan Ziqian looked a little strange, and said: "You are not wrong, but in the taboo records of our Dao Palace, the Sword Immortal Ancestor left because of an accident when he was studying Wang Qi's sword fusion."

Xu Jun took a breath and asked uncertainly: "What accident?"

Guan Ziqian rolled his eyes and said: "You think too highly of me, how could I know."

Xu Jun closed his mouth. Yes, Guan Ziqian is a figure in the Natural Dao Palace.

But if it is placed in the long history of the Immortal Alliance, it is nothing.

Of course, she can't know such things.

Perhaps, when I become the God Transformation Ancestor one day, I can find out the truth.

Guan Ziqian continued: "Daozi, you haven't really been studying this in the past two years, right?"

Xu Jun thought about it and decided to expose a little bit.

If there is really something wrong, you can also inform those top figures through Guan Ziqian's mouth so that you can be prepared.

"Dean, I have a sword. Can you appreciate it?"

Guan Ziqian's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Okay, follow me."

The three of them left immediately and came to a martial arts arena.

This martial arts arena is not the crowded place in the Taoist Palace. It is rarely visited, and no one knows how Guan Ziqian found it.

Of course, Xu Jun would not dwell on this. He apologized and lightly tapped his fingers.

Instantly, the main sword mark jumped out of the sword space body.

"Ah..."

A dragon roar sounded, and the main sword mark turned into a sword python and stared at Guan Ziqian and the others.

Dragon roar?

Guan Ziqian and Zhen Yulian were both slightly surprised.

This is just the sword energy turning into a python, but the sound of dragon roar was heard.

What does this mean?

This means that the sword energy turning into a python used by Xu Jun still has great potential to be tapped. If one day, what is condensed is not a sword python, but a sword dragon...

Guan Ziqian shook his head and threw this idea away.

If you want to condense a sword dragon, you must first condense a strong enough sword intention.

That is the combat power of the fourth-order Yuanying level. Even if Guan Ziqian is optimistic about Xu Jun, he will not think that he can do it in the short term.

Perhaps, when Xu Jun is promoted to the late Jindan, it is possible to try it a little.

However, the next moment, Guan Ziqian and Zhen Yulian suddenly felt a little unusual.

Xu Jun's sword energy turned into a python, and its momentum was still slowly growing.

What's going on?

You know, once the sword energy turned into a python that follows the strange sword path is released, it will condense the blood and energy of the whole body.

It's not that you can't hide your clumsiness, but once you succeed in turning into a python, you want to continue to increase the power...

Such a thing is really unheard of.

But what about Xu Jun.

The sword python hovered its huge body and kept spinning around Xu Jun, and after each rotation, its momentum became stronger.

Gradually, even Guan Ziqian felt a little palpitation.

If she had the confidence to crush the sword python when it first appeared, she would not dare to have any more thoughts now.

She even wondered if she could completely let go, and her sword energy turned into a python, could it suppress Xu Jun's sword python?

Suddenly, Guan Ziqian understood one thing.

This strange phenomenon must have been caused by Xu Jun.

Could it be that this was the result of his research in the past two years? The effect of fusing the sword of the kingly way and the sword of the strange way?

How did he do it?

After an unknown period of time, the sword python with its ever-expanding momentum finally stopped.

Xu Jun silently looked at the two sword cultivators in front of him. Now, he had mobilized the power of three thousand sword energy origins and integrated it into this sword.

What Xu Jun of the sword had done before, Xu Jun himself also did smoothly without any problems.

However, at this time, he stopped.

Because he found that Zhen Yulian seemed to be unable to hold on.

With a change of mind, the sword python that revolved around Xu Jun suddenly disappeared, and the surging power suddenly dissipated. In a moment, the place had returned to peace.

Zhen Yulian breathed a sigh of relief. Even if Xu Jun did not deliberately target her, the mere existence of the sword python was an unbearable huge pressure for her.

Guan Ziqian also exhaled a breath. She looked at Xu Jun deeply and said, "Is this the result of your retreat?"

Xu Jun said without hesitation, "Yes."

His retreat to engrave the origin of sword energy has nothing to do with this.

However, sometimes white lies can still play a harmonious role, so Xu Jun is not stingy.

Xu Jun clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Dean, do you think this way is feasible?"

Guan Ziqian opened his mouth, a little difficult to speak.

Daozi, do you think too highly of me?

Is this something that I, a Jindan, can judge.

Looking at Xu Jun's eyes full of expectation, Guan Ziqian was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, Xu Jun left the Kendo branch with some annoyance.

He did not get the answer he wanted from Guan Ziqian, but what really frustrated him was.

For some reason, Guan Ziqian suddenly lost his temper and drove him away.

You said you wanted to drive me away, so drive me away, but why did you only drive me away and keep Zhen Yulian by your side? You really don't understand romance.

After mumbling for a while, Xu Jun turned and walked to the Hundred Arts Branch.

Among the Hundred Arts of the Immortal Family, Xu Jun has only learned the formation and talisman.

During the two years of retreat, although Xu Jun of the Sword Dao had also taken time to practice the formation and made some progress. But the study of the formation is a long accumulation process, so it has not yet reached the point of qualitative change.

Similarly, Xu Jun's attainments in the formation have never achieved a breakthrough.

So, when he met the formation mentor Sheng Sunyi, he just talked about it in general and promised to spend more time on the formation in the future.

However, when he came to the Talisman Department and met the mentor Tan Liutong, the situation was completely different.

"Daozi, I heard that you have been in retreat for the past two years to study the way of talismans and have made some achievements. Is it true?" Tan Liutong said excitedly.

Xu Jun blinked twice and regretted it more and more.

He shouldn't have spoken out in the Thunder Dao Branch, and now everyone knows it.

He coughed lightly and said, "Teacher Tan, I have indeed studied it for a while and have improved."

Tan Liutong's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said, "What level is the strongest talisman you can draw now?"

Xu Jun looked strange, and thought to himself, you are too direct.

Tan Liutong is the leader of the Talisman Department of the Natural Dao Palace of Shuiyuan Star, where is the necessary reserve?

"Second level? Or... third level." Tan Liutong's voice trembled slightly.

Xu Jun hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I can barely draw a few third-level ones."

"Ah, third level? Really?" Tan Liutong almost jumped up.

Xu Jun had already said it, and naturally he would not swallow it back.

He nodded reservedly and said, "Teacher Tan, let me try it."

"Okay, then give it a try." Tan Liutong waved his sleeves and immediately took out the table, the second-level talisman pen, the spirit ink, the blank talisman, etc.

Xu Jun blinked twice. Although it was not surprising for the talisman master to carry these things with him. But you even brought a table...

If you say this was not premeditated, Xu Jun would never believe it.

"Come on, Daozi, draw one." Teacher Tan said solemnly, "Just draw your best third-level talisman."

Third-level!

Xu Jun picked up the talisman pen and was about to draw an ordinary third-level talisman. However, seeing Tan Liutong so nervous, his heart moved slightly, and his eyes immediately became mysterious.

Time, the true meaning of the Tao!

When the true meaning of the Tao was released, only Xu Jun himself could sense it, because at that moment, his thinking speed became unreasonably fast.

Except for himself, the rest of the people could not detect it unless they also comprehended the true meaning of the Tao of time, or their cultivation was too high.

Suddenly, all the difficulties on the talisman paper were overcome by Xu Jun in an instant.

He wrote quickly, as if assisted by God. In just a moment, he had already drawn a fine third-level thunder talisman.

Tan Liutong looked at all this with his eyes wide open, and felt that all the years of hard practice before seemed to have become a joke.

It turned out that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't match his talent.

At this moment, after seeing the third-level thunder-type exquisite talisman drawn by Xu Jun.

Tan Liutong, the talisman department, was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

He was originally a cultivator at the peak of foundation building, but because he had a special talent in the way of talismans, he could draw a large number of third-level talismans with the cultivation of foundation building.

With this, Tan Liutong firmly sat in the position of the chief instructor of the talisman department in the Baiyi branch of the Natural Dao Palace of Shuiyuan Star.

Although the talisman department is not a subject known for its combat effectiveness, it is extremely rare to sit firmly in the position of chief instructor with the cultivation of foundation building.

Tan Liutong has always been proud of this.

However, this time, seeing Xu Jun's achievements after coming out of retreat, he was not feeling well.

However, just a moment later, Tan Liutong adjusted his mentality.

From possible jealousy of talents, to being so happy that he was at a loss.

Xu Jun was actually able to draw a third-level talisman when he was building his foundation, and it was a third-level fine talisman.

Such an achievement was a step higher than his.

And all this was completed under his guidance.

What does this mean?

This means that a generation of talisman masters came from his school.

For a talisman master, this is the supreme honor!

Tan Liutong immediately took Xu Jun's hand and said, "Daozi, you graduate now."

"Ah, what?" Xu Jun's eyes widened, looking at Tan Liutong who was a little incoherent, with a helpless look on his face.

Tan Liutong hurriedly said, "Daozi, your attainments in the way of talismans have surpassed mine. As long as you graduate now and come to the talisman department to teach, I am willing to step down immediately."

The people around him were stunned and unbelievable when they saw his actions.

Xu Jun was even more frightened.

Let me graduate now and become a mentor?

Teacher Tan, are you crazy or am I crazy?

Xu Jun forced a smile and was about to run away.

Tan Liutong grabbed Xu Jun and said, "Daozi, you have a heaven-defying talent in the way of talismans. If you don't devote yourself to it, it would be a waste of heaven's gift."

Feeling Tan Liutong's excitement, Xu Jun hurriedly said, "Teacher Tan, I understand your good intentions, and I will definitely consider it carefully. Don't worry, the way of talismans is my lifelong practice, and I will never give up."

Tan Liutong hesitated for a moment and said, "But, Daozi, you are proficient in too many ways."

Xu Jun was stunned, wondering how Teacher Tan had become smart.

Xu Jun tried his best to persuade him, and after an hour, he finally succeeded in getting rid of it. He decided in his heart that he would never set foot in the Talisman Department again.

Finally, Xu Jun came to the vice-principal's office.

When he saw Ye Wanqing, Xu Jun's expression was quite solemn, and he said, "Principal Ye, I'm out of retreat."

Ye Wanqing looked at him deeply.

Although Xu Jun was not the first to come to him after he came out of retreat, he had countless eyes and ears in the Taoist Palace, and knew Xu Jun's every move, and had some guesses about Xu Jun's actions.

At this moment, looking at Xu Jun's eyes, his heart moved slightly, and he said, "Daozi, it's good that you come out of retreat." He paused and said, "How is Daozi's cultivation?"

Xu Jun said solemnly, "I have lived up to the principal's expectations and have made a breakthrough."

Ye Wanqing looked at Xu Jun with his eyes, but a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

Before Xu Jun went into seclusion, he had made a bold statement that he wanted to advance to the middle stage of foundation building.

But now, Ye Wanqing looked at Xu Jun for a few times, but he couldn't tell how far this kid had improved.

He seemed to be still in the early stage of foundation building.

Xu Jun smiled slightly. His improvement this time was not the accumulation of magic, but only the engraving of four thousand sword energy origins in the sword dao body space.

So, unless he used the sword energy origin, no one could really feel the breath of the middle stage of foundation building.

But, a thousand swords forming a formation is enough to compete with the golden elixir.

Then, when Xu Jun formed a large formation with four thousand swords, I really don't know which golden elixir can still ignore him?

Looking at Ye Wanqing's frown, Xu Jun was helpless and said, "Principal, please sense it."

After that, he let go of the sword dao space body.

Although there are three space bodies, they are all things that Xu Jun can control at will.

Therefore, when he controlled the sword-wielding space body, the space body immediately released sword energy with him as the center.

Swish, swish, swish!

Ye Wanqing heard the sound of sword energy.

Although the countless sword energy was not really released, a breath of the middle stage of foundation building was permeated in it, and it could not be stopped.

Ye Wanqing felt it and believed it immediately.

He hesitated for a moment, his face showed hesitation, and sighed: "Daozi, what a fast speed."

Xu Jun smiled awkwardly and did not say anything.

Yes, looking at his own advancement speed, Xu Jun himself felt shocked.

He entered the Dao through martial arts and truly became a Qi Refiner before the college entrance examination.

However, today, even if it is calculated at most, it has only been six or seven years.

In such a short time, he can step by step reach the middle stage of foundation building.

It can be seen that Xu Jun's cultivation speed is no longer fast.

But for a moment, neither of them could think of how to describe it.

Ye Wanqing sensed the sound coming from the sword energy, and suddenly frowned slightly. He felt faintly that these sword energies seemed a little unusual.

But even he, before he had seen the four thousand origin sword energies, could not believe it.

Xu Jun's heart moved slightly, and he closed the space body. The boiling aura of the middle stage of foundation building on his body suddenly fell back to the early stage.

Ye Wanqing said with a smile: "Daozi, your middle stage of foundation building... is a bit tricky."

Xu Jun smiled and said: "Please rest assured, principal, I have the combat power of the middle stage of foundation building."

Ye Wanqing stuttered, and was blocked by this sentence and didn't know what to say.

Combat power of the middle stage of foundation building?

This little guy, he has learned bad things, where is his face!

Looking at Ye Wanqing's somewhat unfriendly face, Xu Jun quickly changed the subject and said: "Principal, I remember you once said that as long as I was promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, you would let me embark on the invincible path of cultivation."
