Jian Yu Feng Yun (The Legend of Sword Domain / 剑域风云)

No one owns this locally grown star lotus.

Whoever is capable gets to own it.

You need not worry too much.

That's right.

One's cultivation journey is full of uncertainties.

And cruel competition is commonplace.

Oh, right.

This thing will be 20,000 years old in another ten days.

You can't consume it now.

Ten days?

I always thought you defeated the Gu siblings with someone's help.

Thinking back, I was so wrong about it.

Although they were trying to harm me,

I wasn't going to kill them at first.

It's such a shame

that they kept pushing their luck.

And they even tried to join hands with someone else in getting rid of me.

Well, I was left with no choice.

Someone else?

Do you mean the master of Tongyuan Prefecture?

Now that you know who I am,

are you going to tell Oulong Yan about it?

You saved Qingtai's and my life.

There's no way I'm turning you in.

I wasn't wrong about you.

My gambling with my life was worth it.

However, when the Black Water Mystic Python regains its composure,

it would be able to figure out your identity through your skills.

I know.

Well, Lu.

If Oulong Yan found out and sent his men here,

how long does it take for his men to reach here?

At least 15 days.

Or even longer.

Great.

Don't let your guard down.

There's one more thing to worry about.

What's it?

Qianliu City isn't far from here.

When words about you seizing the panacea

get out,

intermediate Heavenly Gods from the surrounding cities,

might come and seize it as well.

And it takes them

only three to four days to reach here.

If it's fourth- or fifth-level Heavenly Gods,

I'm able to stop them with the Yin-and-Yang Sword Formation.

As for sixth-level ones, there's no way I'm able to beat them.

I guess I'll have to figure out a way to hide the locally grown star lotus.

Oh, yeah.

Duan Lei didn't come with you?

We did.

But Duan got too excited and underestimated the enemy.

The Black Water Mystic Python appeared out of nowhere and swallowed him.

Alas.

Back then,

we were full of spirit.

It's only two of us now.

If it hadn't been for you who came to our rescue,

I'm afraid we'd have been dead too.

Cultivation

is all about going against the grain

and achieving the impossible.

Don't be sad.

It's a long road ahead.

Just pull yourselves together and look forward.

Yes.

What...

You took the locally grown star lotus?

That's not the case.

I'm just hiding it away.

That way,

we need not worry about it being taken away.

How brilliant of you, Fang.

Guys,

I'd like to ask you for a favor.

Before the locally grown star lotus is ripe,

please stay here for recuperation.

No problem.

We can cultivate anywhere, after all.

Thank you for your understanding.

Lu,

do you know Zhenyuan Sword Sect?
