Volume 9: Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven Chapter 3: Master and Apprentice

If you want to hold a rose, you must bear its pain.
Lu Qingshan did not complain about the strength of the Ten Flowers Divine Gate, but he was determined to improve his strength again in order to break through the obstacle.
If Mangcang Liuyan couldn't help him break through the Ten Flowers Divine Gate, then he would make other plans.
Lu Qingshan was mentally prepared.
"Is that so..." Xia Daoyun said softly.
She said seriously, "I, the master, had never cultivated the Ten Flowers back then. I only knew that the Nine Flowers Divine Gate would break if touched. I didn't expect that there was a Ten Flowers Ultimate Realm above the Nine Flowers, and I didn't expect that the Ten Flowers Divine Gate was different. I took it for granted."
Even in Versailles, the Master is still the Master.
Lu Qingshan thought secretly.
“However, as my disciple, I don’t think you can be stopped by just the Ten Flowers Divine Gate.” Xia Daoyun said confidently, with a high spirit.
The kind that is more confident than Lu Qingshan himself.
She has always been an extremely confident person, both towards herself and her apprentice.
Lu Qingshan nodded silently to match his master's confidence.
"By the way, Master, this is for you." He suddenly remembered something and quickly took out a jade box from the mustard seed and handed it to Xia Daoyuan.
"What is this?" Xia Daoyun asked as he opened the jade box.
As soon as the jade box was opened, the bright blood-red light illuminated the entire quiet room.
Inside the priceless jade box, there were thirty blood-colored crystals displayed.
These are all the blood spirit crystals that Lu Qingshan brought back from the abyss.
The appearance of the Blood Spirit Crystal is transparent and hazy.
Inside the crystal, there are bloodshot veins that are translucent and extremely beautiful.
Xia Daoyun's eyes lit up.
——She thought these crystals were beautiful.
"This is a specialty ."
Lu Qingshan explained: "It's called Blood Spirit Crystal. It's a rare item of the demons. They improve their bloodline by refining Blood Spirit Crystal ."
After a pause, he continued, "However, I later discovered that the Blood Spirit Crystal also plays a huge role for our human race. It was with the help of the Blood Spirit Crystal that I broke through to the Ten Flower Realm."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Qingshan described to Xia Daoyun in detail the magic of the Blood Spirit Crystal, how to use it, and his own breakthrough state at that time.
"At the beginning, I only used ten blood spirit crystals to break the blood shackles. However, my master is extremely powerful, far superior to me. So I am not sure how many blood spirit crystals my master will need to break the blood shackles. I hope these thirty blood spirit crystals will be enough." Lu Qingshan said.
"Besides, I'm not sure if this blood crystal is useful to Master."
The reason I say this is because Xia Daoyuan has something very special about her.
She is of the bloodline of the Taoist Ancestor.
Lu Qingshan was not sure whether Xia Daoyuan would be different from him in breaking the blood shackles due to this aspect.
As he was thinking, Xia Daoyun started laughing, "Don't worry about it. It's best if it's useful. Even if it's useless, it's not a big deal. After all, as a sword cultivator, I have the confidence to dominate with the sword in my hand."
Even in a dangerous place like the abyss, the disciple would still think of her when she found something good. She would be happy regardless of whether it was useful or not.
Lu Qingshan chuckled and said no more.
It would be best if we could add some strength to Xia Daoyun and improve her talent a little more.
Given Xia Daoyun's terrifying aptitude of possessing two legendary talents, even if it was just a slight improvement, it would be an extremely terrifying number after quantification.
"But..." At this time, Xia Daoyun raised his eyebrows slightly, and said thoughtfully: "According to what you said, after you broke the bloodline shackles, it seems that only the Great Summer Sutra is perfect enough to allow you to continue practicing..."
"If that's the case, maybe it's the same for the Spiritual Transformation Stage as well," Xia Daoyun's mind moved, and with a wave of his hand, a piece of ancient green jade flew in front of Lu Qingshan, "Take it first, just in case."
Lu Qingshan quickly took the spiritual jade and probed into it with his spiritual sense. Then his mind was shocked and he exclaimed: "This is... the Great Xia Sutra's Divine Transformation Chapter?!"
What is recorded in the spiritual jade is the "Transformation to the Gods" chapter of the Great Xia Sutra.
At the beginning, he overcame many difficulties and won the first place in the Seven Realms Forum. The final reward was the Lianxu chapter of the Great Xia Sutra.
Now, when Xia Daoyun threw it casually, it was also a copy of the Great Summer Sutra.
So, we can draw a conclusion.
How can hard work be as good as living off others?
Lu Qingshan finally understood why in his previous life, there were so many people who said, “Auntie, I don’t want to work hard anymore.”
"But..." He hesitated. "The Great Xia Sutra is the secret of the Great Xia royal family. If Master passes the technique to me privately, won't people criticize him?"
After all, he is a member of the Sword Sect, so it is not reasonable for him to learn the private skills of the Great Xia royal family.
"You are my disciple, so you are not an outsider." Xia Daoyun said as a matter of course.
It sounds reasonable, but it feels a little wrong.
——If nothing unexpected happens, this should be Xia Daoyun’s own original point of view.
However, since Xia Daoyun said so, and Lu Qingshan really needed the follow-up exercises of the Great Summer Sutra, he stopped being pretentious and accepted the spiritual jade, "Thank you, Master."
"Have you used up the sword talisman?" Xia Daoyun nodded with satisfaction, then remembered something and asked, "If you have used up all the sword talismans, I can give you a few more for self-defense. What you are going to do next involves a lot of things, and it is very likely that you will encounter resistance that is difficult to resolve."
"Not all of them are used up yet. There are still seven left." Lu Qingshan told the truth.
"Then I feel relieved." Xia Daoyun said with satisfaction.
"If there is nothing else, I will go back to Tianshan first. You should be careful here." After understanding Lu Qingshan's situation, Xia Daoyun raised her eyebrows and said goodbye to Lu Qingshan.
Going back to Tianshan and coming to Shazhou are completely different routes.
Sure enough, the so-called "going along the way" was just something Xia Daoyuan said casually.
"Then take care of yourself, Master." Lu Qingshan bowed to Xia Daoyun.
Xia Daoyun smiled and took another look at Qin Yitian who was standing behind Lu Qingshan. Finally, she turned around and left.
After leaving the quiet room, Xia Daoyun flew up on his sword and soon his figure was suspended high in the air.
But she did not leave immediately. Instead, she stayed there for a moment, as if thinking about something.
She was recalling the sword that Lu Qingshan had just used.
After a moment, she pursed her lips and said faintly: "Qingshan's current strength has surpassed my past."
Even though Lu Qingshan comprehended the true meaning of the four origins in the Nascent Soul Realm and gained the title of the strongest in the four realms, Xia Daoyun did not think that he would definitely defeat himself in the Nascent Soul Realm.
But now, Xia Daoyun is convinced that she was not as good as Lu Qingshan in the Refining Void Realm.
This was the first time Xia Daoyun had encountered such a thing in her practice - before this, no matter which realm she was in, she was invincible in the same realm.
Now, she encountered an exception.
And the exception is her apprentice.
This gave her some wonderful feelings she had never experienced before, and she didn't know how to describe it.
Xia Daoyun stopped in mid-air and thought very seriously for a moment. Finally, he said with some distress: "The question is, how did I teach such a disciple?"
This was her first time being a master.
No one taught her how to do this well.
She had asked the old sect leader in advance how to be a good master.
Xia Daoyun clearly remembered that when the old sect leader heard this question, his expression was very strange, his eyes were wandering, and it was unknown what he was hesitating about.
After thinking for a long time, the old sect leader finally told her earnestly that a master can only lead one to the door, but practice depends on oneself. He suggested that if she really accepted a disciple, it would be best not to give too much guidance on the disciple's practice, but just pay more attention to the disciple's mental state.
Xia Daoyun's keen intuition told her that there seemed to be something wrong with what the old sect leader said.
However, out of trust in the old sect master, she strictly followed what the old sect master said when teaching Lu Qingshan.
Facts have proved that the old sect master did not lie to her - by doing as the old sect master said, she indeed taught an extremely outstanding apprentice who was even better than her master.
The only problem was that when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't seem to figure out how she had taught Lu Qingshan - it seemed like she had basically taught him nothing?
"Being a master is not difficult. The only bad thing is that I always feel... I don't feel very involved in it for some reason."
Xia Daoyun seemed a little depressed, vaguely feeling that being a master shouldn't be like this.
But, what went wrong?
After thinking for a while without figuring it out, she finally shook her head and stopped worrying about it. Her mind moved and turned into a ray of sword light, and her figure instantly disappeared into the sky.
