Chapter 11 I feel like my senior brothers know all the martial arts I know!

"What are you saying, Sword Spirit Sister!" Wei Qingyan's expression was a little unnatural.

After several encounters, she admitted she had a good impression of Li Xuanfeng.

But whether it had reached the level of romantic love, Wei Qingyan wasn't sure.

She didn't know if this good impression was love.

"This Senior Brother of yours might be decent, but his overall talent is ultimately a bit lacking; he can't even compare to you now!"

"Once you awaken your Supreme Sword Body, the gap will only widen!"

"On the path of Cultivation, there are Dharma, Wealth, Dao Companion, and Land!"

"A Dao Companion is important, but the premise is that their talents must be comparable. Two people with too great a talent gap are not suitable to be Dao Companions!"

"Perhaps after many long years, you, with your profound Cultivation, will remain eternally youthful, while your other half will be old and frail, or even have turned into a pile of dust!"

"So, when choosing a Dao Companion, you absolutely cannot have too great a talent gap, otherwise, many years later, only one person will be left to grieve endlessly!" the Sword Spirit said.

She knew that when two attractive individuals of the opposite sex went down the mountain together to carry out a mission, it was very likely to rapidly bring them closer.

If you added some opportune timing and favorable conditions, it wasn't impossible for Wei Qingyan to fall for Li Xuanfeng, or for Li Xuanfeng to fall for Wei Qingyan.

"Of course, I won't interfere with your choice, nor can I sway your inner thoughts; I'm just giving you a reminder!"

After speaking, the Sword Spirit fell silent.

She had already spoken very directly: the talent gap between the two was too large, so it was best to nip any inappropriate thoughts in the bud.

Wei Qingyan did not reply.

Only she knew what she was thinking in her heart.

The next day.

Li Xuanfeng and Wei Qingyan met up and went down the mountain together.

The Great Yan Dynasty had a vast territory.

The world was divided into thirty-six states.

Each state was further divided into multiple counties.

Hundred Sword Mountain was located in Tiannan County, under Qingzhou.

The destination for their current mission was Xunshan City, in the northernmost part of Tiannan County, over four hundred li from Hundred Sword Mountain.

They would also pass through areas frequented by bandits.

The two walked quickly, rushing along, sometimes even using the Youlong Body Technique to travel.

"I didn't expect Senior Brother's Youlong Body Technique to be so powerful!"

"If he weren't accommodating my speed, I probably wouldn't even see his back!"

Wei Qingyan's Youlong Body Technique was between Minor Achievement and Major Achievement.

With her eyesight, she could naturally tell that Li Xuanfeng's Youlong Body Technique had reached an extremely profound level.

"It feels like Senior Brother knows every Martial Skill I do; I really don't know how many other powerful things he's hiding!" Wei Qingyan felt surprised.

There were many movement-type Martial Skills in the Hundred Sword Mountain Scripture Pavilion, and among them, the Youlong Body Technique was the most powerful and the most difficult to Cultivate.

Wei Qingyan, relying on her high Comprehension Ability, simply didn't Cultivate ordinary Martial Skills.

Because that would only waste her time and not significantly boost her strength.

If she was going to choose, she would choose the Martial Skill with the highest difficulty and greatest power!

Most Disciples would never do what she did.

Of course, some people had tried it before, but the result was that they couldn't even get started for a long time, wasting time in vain.

She originally thought she was special.

But Wei Qingyan discovered that Li Xuanfeng seemed to be following the same Dao as her.

He specialized in Cultivating Martial Skills that were difficult and powerful.

Both the Dripping Water Pierces the Sky Sword and the Youlong Body Technique were like this!

"Senior Brother, do you know the Three Feet Sword Enclosure?" Wei Qingyan suddenly asked.

"Yes." Li Xuanfeng subconsciously nodded.

"It seems Senior Brother and I are quite fated!" This thought popped into Wei Qingyan's mind.

The more the Sword Spirit hinted at her not to develop romantic feelings for Li Xuanfeng, the more such thoughts would subconsciously emerge!

Along the way, Wei Qingyan would occasionally steal a glance at Li Xuanfeng's profile.

Thinking that Li Xuanfeng knew all the high-difficulty Martial Skills she Cultivated, and had even practiced them to a more profound Realm, she felt an even greater affinity with Li Xuanfeng.

Li Xuanfeng, however, didn't pay special attention to Wei Qingyan.

He now had only one thought in his mind—he needed to find an opportunity to get a mount somewhere!

Traveling on his own consumed a considerable amount of True Qi, and the Youlong Body Technique couldn't be used continuously.

If he had a mount for travel, it would be much better!

Unfortunately, mounts weren't something you could get just by wanting them.

Either you used your strength to suppress and forcibly subdue a Yao Beast.

Or you spent a large sum of money to buy one.

"Ahead is the Black Cliff Mountain area. Rumor has it that many bandits like to hide here. We need to be as careful as possible later!" Li Xuanfeng looked at the distant, continuous mountains and said to Wei Qingyan.

Although he had never been here, he was not unfamiliar with the name Black Cliff Mountain.

The Outer Sect Affairs Hall often had bandit suppression missions, and many times the mission location was in this Black Cliff Mountain area.

Many Spirit Aperture Realm Disciples confident in their own strength eagerly vied for such missions.

Suppressing bandits not only earned mission rewards, but after eliminating the bandits, they could also loot all their belongings, making it a lucrative task.

Bandits and robbers had been rampant for years, like wild grass; wildfires couldn't burn them all, and they would grow again with the spring breeze.

Ultimately, they were either annihilated by government troops or became whetstones for Sect Disciples.

"Mhm." Wei Qingyan nodded.

She didn't take the bandits to heart.

Those who became bandits were basically minor Cultivators with ordinary Realms, ordinary talents, and who couldn't make a living anywhere else.

They could only wander from place to place, hide in the mountains, and occasionally come out to rob ordinary people or other minor Cultivators to survive.

If they were strong enough and lived well, no one would want to be a bandit.

After half an incense stick's time.

The two entered Black Cliff Mountain, where tall trees stood in abundance.

"This path is blocked, travelers stop!"

The bandits indeed lived up to Li Xuanfeng's expectations; over twenty figures darted out from the bushes on both sides of the road.

They formed a pincer movement, blocking Li Xuanfeng and Wei Qingyan's path.

They held various weapons such as sabers, spears, staffs, and clubs, brazenly sizing up Li Xuanfeng and Wei Qingyan.

"Who are you people? Where are you coming from, and where are you going?" A rough voice came.

Following the sound, they saw a tall, middle-aged man draped in a large cloak, riding a magnificent black horse, looking at Li Xuanfeng and Wei Qingyan.

This person was clearly the leader of this group of bandits, and he was dressed quite imposingly.

He saw that Li Xuanfeng and Wei Qingyan had an unusual demeanor, so he figured they were likely not ordinary people.

Therefore, he didn't immediately order to kill and rob them.

If the other party answered poorly and had an ordinary background, then he would just kill them and take their money!

"A Yao Beast mount!" Li Xuanfeng's eyes lit up, completely ignoring the middle-aged man's words.

The magnificent black horse the man was riding was a common Yao Beast that could be tamed and used for travel.

"Big Brother, why bother with them? Just kill the man! This woman is as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, the prettiest woman I've ever seen in my life. Let's capture her and let the brothers have some fun!" A man with a broadsword and a hideous scar on his forehead licked his lips.

The others also had fiery gazes.

This group of people had never seen a woman as beautiful as Wei Qingyan, and at this moment, they all harbored evil thoughts, unwilling to delve into the two's origins.

In their opinion, the two shouldn't have any background.

If they had a background, why would they be walking in this desolate wilderness!

Moreover, they didn't even have a mount, even their Big Brother had a mount!

Clearly, they were nobodies!

If Li Xuanfeng and Wei Qingyan were riding mounts and parading through the streets, they wouldn't dare to show their faces and rob them.

"Kill the man, capture the woman alive!" The middle-aged man nodded.

As long as one wasn't physically impaired, no one disliked beautiful women.

Especially a beauty like a Heavenly Immortal.

These two weren't speaking, seemingly scared stiff.

"Kill the man, capture the woman alive!" A group of bandits excitedly charged forward.

Wei Qingyan's small face was grim; she drew her sword directly and met them.

Being judged so brazenly to her face, she was very displeased, especially in front of Senior Brother Li!

Whoosh!

However, someone was faster than her.

Li Xuanfeng took a step, his body like a Youlong!

Swish, swish!

Two sword lights flashed, and three heads fell to the ground!
