"The founder of the Dugu Nine Swords was named Dugu Qiubai, a man from the Song Dynasty."
"what!"
The martial arts expert from the Ming Dynasty exclaimed in surprise.
"No, Mr. Li, are you mistaken? Senior Feng Qingyang is from the Ming Dynasty."
"How could Senior Dugu be from the Song Dynasty?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "It is true that Senior Dugu is a Song person."
"But Senior Dugu has hands and feet, who says he can only move within the territory of the Song Dynasty?"
Faced with this explanation, the people of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world believed it, but they still couldn't accept it for a while.
Just then, Feng Qingyang's voice came from room number seven.
“That senior was indeed a Song dynasty person, and I can confirm that.”
Having gained Feng Qingyang's approval, the people of the Song Dynasty's martial arts world instantly stood tall and proud.
The martial arts world of the Song Dynasty has been making a fool of itself lately, but the appearance of Dugu Qiubai has given it a much-needed boost.
snort!
Our Song Dynasty masters can easily create someone who ranks among the top five on the Ming Dynasty Sword God List with just a little instruction. Our Song Dynasty is truly amazing.
After glancing at the situation below, Li Chengqian ignored it and continued, "Dugu Qiubai entered the martial arts world in his youth."
"His life was just like his name: a life of seeking defeat."
"Dugu Qiubai used four swords in his lifetime, all of which were later buried in the Sword Tomb."
"Senior Dugu's swordsmanship is so advanced that it is rare in the world, so his comments all quote the original text on the Sword Tomb."
"The first one, an unnamed longsword."
"The sword is four feet long, extremely sharp, fierce and powerful, and indestructible. Before I reached the age of twenty, I competed with the heroes of Hebei."
"The second one is the Purple Rose Soft Sword."
"If used before the age of thirty, it would be an ominous sign to accidentally injure a righteous man, so it was discarded in a deep valley."
"The third one, the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword."
"A heavy sword has no edge, and great skill is without artifice. Before the age of forty, I relied on it to roam the world."
"The fourth one, a wooden sword."
"After the age of forty, one is no longer attached to material things; grass, trees, bamboo, and stones can all be used as swords. From then on, one refines one's skills and gradually progresses to the realm where having no sword is better than having a sword."
"These are Dugu Qiubai's four sword tombs. Although they are called sword tombs, they also contain Dugu Qiubai's sword realm and his experiences throughout his life."
"Besides these four sword tombs, there are a few words in front of Dugu Qiubai's tomb, which you may all appreciate."
"Having roamed the martial world for over thirty years, I have killed all my enemies and defeated all heroes. I am now invincible."
"With no other choice, I could only live in seclusion in a deep valley and take eagles as my friends."
"Alas! I have sought a worthy opponent all my life but have not found one; this is truly a lonely and unbearable situation."
Alas! All heroes are helpless, their swords are useless; how tragic!
After he finished speaking, the entire inn fell silent.
In particular, Li Chengqian's two cries of "Alas!" inspired awe in countless people in the martial arts world.
They couldn't even imagine what the legendary Dugu Qiubai must have felt back then.
Just how lonely must he have been to utter such a sentiment?
If he had been born a few decades later, perhaps he wouldn't be so lonely.
Room No. 7, Tianzi.
After listening to Li Chengqian's comments, Feng Qingyang's eyes welled up with tears.
Although Dugu Qiubai did not accept him as a disciple, he always regarded him as his teacher in his heart.
Li Chengqian said he had not grasped the essence of the Dugu Nine Swords, and Feng Qingyang actually harbored resentment towards him.
However, after listening to the descriptions of the four sword tombs, Feng Qingyang realized that he had not grasped the essence of his teacher's teachings.
If I were to measure myself by my teacher's kendo standards, I would say that I have only just completed the stage of the Purple Star Soft Sword.
He hadn't even reached the level of the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword.
With that thought in mind, Feng Qingyang left the room.
Room No. 4, Tianzi.
Hearing Dugu Qiubai's description, Lu Xiaofeng's blood boiled with excitement. In his excitement, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask.
"Ximen Chuixue, of Dugu Qiubai's four realms of swordsmanship, which one have you reached?"
Upon hearing this, Ximen Chuixue's eyes lit up.
“My swordsmanship is different from his, but the great path leads to the same goal. I am still far from the realm of swordlessness.”
Ximen Chuixue's eyes shone brightly, for he could no longer contain his desire to witness the Dugu Nine Swords.
But the other person in the room looked somber.
Looking at Ximen Chuixue in front of her, Sun Xiuqian felt bitter.
He loves the sword in his hand more than I do!
"Mr. Li's predictions were so accurate that Feng Qingyang was completely convinced."
Feng Qingyang's appearance made many martial arts practitioners eager to learn more, as Feng Qingyang was the only successor to Dugu Qiubai.
Mr. Li said that Feng Qingyang's skills were not proficient, which made everyone very curious about what level Feng Qingyang had reached in his mastery of martial arts.
At this moment, someone mustered up their courage and asked, "Senior Feng Qingyang, may I ask which realm you have reached now?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang smiled.
He naturally didn't want to answer such a question, but Li Chengqian had finally resolved a knot in his heart.
Therefore, it is only natural for him to reciprocate.
"My level has only barely reached the first sword of Senior Dugu, and I haven't even finished the second sword yet."
"Mr. Li said that I lack talent, which is completely reasonable."
The people in the inn were dumbfounded when they heard Feng Qingyang's words.
Everyone knows that Feng Qingyang did not master the essence of Dugu Qiubai's swordsmanship, but no one expected that Feng Qingyang would be so far behind.
Upon receiving this answer, some martial arts practitioners inevitably developed a sense of contempt.
cut!
He really lacks talent; he's just lucky. If I were to encounter Dugu Qiubai, I could do the same.
Li Chengqian naturally saw through these people's ulterior motives. He said that Feng Qingyang's talent was lacking because he himself had the right to say so.
However, their thinking in this way is somewhat disrespectful to their elders.
Li Chengqian picked up his teacup and slowly said something.
"Dugu Qiubai was a Song dynasty figure. Haven't you all considered why he came to the Ming dynasty to spread his teachings?"
Li Chengqian's sudden question left everyone somewhat bewildered, and a straightforward江湖客 (jianghu kè kè, a person from the martial arts world) also blurted out a question.
"why?"
As soon as the question (Zhao Zhao Zhao) was asked, everyone immediately realized that something was wrong.
This is clearly a huge trap!
"Because no one in the Song Dynasty could inherit Dugu Qiubai's swordsmanship, the Ming Dynasty barely produced Feng Qingyang."
"Senior Feng Qingyang did not comprehend the Dugu Nine Swords because Dugu Qiubai's swordsmanship was too advanced."
"Others, let alone comprehend it, don't even have the qualifications to inherit it."
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, everyone in the inn twitched at the corners of their mouths.
The above words, translated, are roughly like this.
Feng Qingyang didn't fully comprehend the Dugu Nine Swords; his talent wasn't that great, but compared to you, you're nothing but trash.
"strength"
This is no longer interesting.
We just overthought it a little, is it really necessary to attack us like this?
"Mr. Li, could you tell me about the origin of the Star Absorbing Technique?"
Li Chengqian glanced at Ren Yingying as she walked out and said, "What, is Linghu Chong about to die?"
Chapter 237 Li Chengqian makes things difficult for Ren Yingying, Linghu Chong wants to enter the Eastern Depot.
Upon hearing Li Chengqian's words, Ren Yingying's face immediately fell.
If Li Chengqian's strength wasn't so terrifying, and I could easily give him a piece of my mind, would you even dare to talk like that?
But now that she was under someone else's roof, she had no choice but to bow her head and say with a forced smile, "Mr. Li is indeed a prophet."
"We implore Mr. Li to lend a helping hand."
Faced with Ren Yingying's request, Li Chengqian smacked his lips and said jokingly, "Sorry, I don't have a good solution for Linghu Chong's injury either."
"His condition stems from the drawbacks of practicing the Star Absorbing Technique, and there are only two ways to resolve it."
"The first method is to find a master who can also absorb a person's internal energy and drain all of their power."
"However, finding such a person is not easy, as any technique that absorbs a person's internal energy will cause irreversible damage to the body."
"Given Linghu Chong's condition, even if he doesn't die, he'll lose twenty or thirty years of his lifespan."
Upon hearing this, Ren Yingying immediately became anxious.
"Mr. Li, what about the second option?"
"The second path is even more difficult than the first. The way to solve this problem is to avoid killing Linghu Chong."
