Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 116: Taiqingʼs Wandering Life

Azure Lotus Immortal Lake, its fragrance permeating all directions.

Everything seemed so harmonious.

Li Taiqing stood rooted to the spot, his eyes filled with disbelief.

A life-and-death crisis had vanished in an instant, leaving him in a daze.

Originally, he had prepared to fight to the death, as it seemed to him that with a Shenxuan Sect Elder making a move, he was virtually isolated and helpless here; no one would be willing to risk offending the Demon-Slaying Sword Master to help him.

Unexpectedly, Han Xuanji personally intervened and resolved this difficult situation for him.

At this very moment.

Those Cultivators who had previously harbored ill intentions now had pale Faces, cold sweat soaking their clothes, and their eyes were filled with relief.

That was a mighty Tribulation Stage great power!

In any Sect, they would be a pillar of strength, an existence revered by thousands.

Yet, before Han Xuanji, they were easily crushed like ants.

All of this happened very suddenly.

When Lin Potian, Lu Fan, and the others arrived, they had already missed the most exciting scene.

However, when they learned the cause and effect, they were immediately filled with righteous indignation.

Lin Potian even said directly:

“If not for the Sword Master, how could we have possibly entered?”

“Serves them right!”

Lu Fan also strongly agreed, because such people deserved to die; they wanted all the benefits for themselves, while all the blame was left for Shenxuan Sect.

When word got out, wouldn’t Han Xuanji still be the one to take the fall?

Heaven Jade Perfected Person also personally apologized to Han Xuanji, feeling remorseful, as he had also participated in the matter of recruiting Guest Elders.

“Alas, it is our fault for not selecting the right Guest Elder candidates, truly shameful.”

Han Xuanji shook his head:

“Knowing a person’s Face doesn’t mean knowing their heart, Brother Tianyu doesn’t need to blame himself, but you should apologize to this Fellow Daoist.”

“Young friend, it was this old man’s poor judgment that startled you.”

Heaven Jade Perfected Person nodded, not holding onto his status, and came to Li Taiqing’s side, speaking sincerely.

This scene immediately made Li Taiqing feel flattered.

“Not at all, this is not the Senior’s fault, and I will not place the blame on Shenxuan Sect.”

Li Taiqing said earnestly.

He was not someone who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong; in fact, Shenxuan Sect’s reputation had always been quite good.

Occasionally, there were some bad apples mixed in, but that was unavoidable.

Li Taiqing pondered for a moment, then looked up at the figure whose aura was as profound as the sea.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions, straightened his clothes, and bowed deeply to Han Xuanji, his voice filled with sincere reverence:

“Junior Li Taiqing, respectfully thanks the Sword Master for his life-saving grace!”

For some reason, the moment he saw Han Xuanji, a tremor went through his heart, giving him a strange sense of closeness.

Seeing this scene.

A hint of awkwardness flashed across Han Xuanji’s heart.

This person before him was the genuine Reincarnation of the Green Lotus Sword Immortal!

He had received many benefits from the other party, and his current action, while maintaining rules and purging the Sect, also subtly contained a sense of “repayment.”

That Tribulation Stage Guest Elder who ran into them was truly unlucky, hitting the muzzle of the gun.

After all, Han Xuanji was already wondering how to forge a good relationship with him.

Of course, the other party was also to blame and deserved to die.

After all, he had established rules long ago, and if they were easily broken by others, it would undoubtedly make him lose Face.

When a decisive hand was needed, Han Xuanji would not be soft-hearted.

A kind person is easily bullied.

Han Xuanji was not some saint.

“No need for such courtesy.”

Han Xuanji’s voice was calm, and with a slight flick of his sleeve, a gentle Spiritual Qi appeared out of thin air, gently lifting Li Taiqing.

“This person simply sought his own death.”

This understated gesture, however, made Li Taiqing’s heart warm and a current of warmth surge through him.

“Sword Master!”

Li Taiqing’s gaze was fervent, looking directly at Han Xuanji, his voice sincere.

“Taiqing has drifted for half his life, a lone individual. Now, having received the Sword Master’s grace of rebirth, I wish to follow by your side to repay this kindness!”

His posture was respectful, his tone resolute.

Han Xuanji was not only powerful and highly skilled in the Dao of the Sword, but his character was also excellent; he was completely his idol.

Li Taiqing had roamed freely alone for so long, and during that time, many Cultivators with profound cultivation had wanted to be his Master, but he was unwilling.

Because in his opinion, he would soon catch up to them, so why bother with apprenticeship?

As for Han Xuanji, he felt that it would be difficult for him to surpass the other party in a short time.

Han Xuanji’s mouth twitched upon hearing this.

Absolutely not necessary!

Han Xuanji pondered for a moment.

A direct refusal would make him seem somewhat disdainful of the other party.

“With your innate talent and aptitude, following me would truly be a waste. However…”

Han Xuanji changed the subject,

“I will be cultivating in this world for some time recently. You can cultivate with me, and if you encounter any difficulties in cultivation, you can come to me for guidance.”

Li Taiqing was first stunned, then immense joy surged into his heart.

After all, in his eyes, Han Xuanji was a lofty Sword Immortal, with heaven-reaching cultivation.

Just one opportunity for his guidance would be enough for countless Cultivators to fight over.

Li Taiqing had even prepared to be rejected, after all, he was just an ordinary Void Refinement Cultivator.

And he actually wanted to become a Disciple, but he heard that the Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal never accepted Disciples, being a famous ascetic, which was why he resorted to this desperate measure.

He didn’t expect Han Xuanji to be so accommodating.

He regretted it, feeling he should have directly sought apprenticeship.

But thankfully, there was still a chance!

Time slowly flowed by.

After this disturbance, the atmosphere within the Qinglian Sword World became solemn.

Many Cultivators of Shenxuan Sect reined in some of their arrogance.

And those Sect Guest Elders were even more cautious in their words and actions, understanding clearly.

It wasn’t that Shenxuan Sect relied on the strength of these Guest Elders, but rather that they needed to leverage Shenxuan Sect’s influence and bask in the might of the Demon-Slaying Sword Master.

…

This day.

Above a lush green grassland in the Qinglian Sword World, filled with Spiritual Qi, Han Xuanji was guiding Li Taiqing in Sword Dao cultivation.

Li Taiqing’s talent was exceptional, on the verge of “Sword Intent Domain.”

And Han Xuanji, with just a few words, pointed directly to the crucial points, clarifying many things for him as if parting the clouds to reveal the sun.

Of course, this was also because Li Taiqing’s Comprehension Ability was inherently high; with a little guidance, he immediately understood and made rapid progress.

This made Han Xuanji quite enjoy guiding him.

No wonder some great Cultivators are said to be more partial to their intelligent Disciples.

Guiding a Genius who can infer from one example to many, without needing a second explanation, who wouldn’t like that?

Moreover, regarding cultivation, Han Xuanji could also guide the other party.

Because Li Taiqing primarily cultivated the Qinglian Sword Sutra, and it seemed he had been cultivating it for a very long time.

Regarding this, Li Taiqing also asked with curiosity:

“Senior, do you also know the Qinglian Sword Sutra?”

“Yes.”

Han Xuanji then explained that he learned it in Daoqing Hall.

To be honest, probably no one would have imagined that the Green Lotus Sword Immortal was guided in learning the Qinglian Sword Sutra.

Li Taiqing was thoughtful.

Han Xuanji was also quite curious:

“Where did you learn this Qinglian Sword Sutra from?”

“I was born with a companion jade pendant, and after I started cultivating at the age of ten, this pendant transmitted this Cultivation Technique to me.”

Li Taiqing also readily gave the answer.

It was precisely because of this Cultivation Technique that he had the confidence not to take a Master or join a Sect.

“Oh.”

Han Xuanji didn’t find it strange.

After all, as the Reincarnation of the Green Lotus Sword Immortal, what’s so strange about starting with a top-tier Cultivation Technique?

Those who Reincarnate directly with memories or even cultivation are truly starting with an overwhelmingly good hand, not knowing how to lose.

Moreover, this was Li Taiqing’s ninth life, and the previous eight lives most likely ended before Ascension.

It can only be said that Ascension is not easy.

Suddenly, Han Xuanji thought that the other party’s jade pendant was most likely a token.

These days, he had been signing in everywhere, and it seemed he had missed a treasure trove.
