That night, in Xiao Mian's small courtyard, a lonely figure walked in.

"Brother Jing Chu really believes in people!"

Xiao Mian had already prepared a table for such a spiritual food and wine banquet in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, there were so many monks in the Five Elements Sect, naturally there were people who were specifically responsible for the living and eating of the monks, but Xiao Mian had been devoted to hard cultivation before, so he naturally didn't care about these appetites.

Today, in order to make friends with this sword cultivator, Xiao Mian made preparations in advance.

After welcoming Jing Chu into the inner hall, Xiao Mian personally poured a hundred fruit fairy for Jing Chu.

"Brother Jing Chu, this time you can enjoy the light and come to the cold house, I don't think you blame the offense in the ring, right?"

"What did Brother Xiao say? In the ring, the strong are respected! Brother Xiao's strength is far superior to Jing Chu a hundred times, if Brother Xiao deliberately concedes, he will look down on Jing Chu!"

"With Brother Jing Chu's strength, if you change opponents, I'm afraid you can steadily enter the top 100, how can you ......" Xiao Mian said this, Jing Chu picked up a wine glass and drank a full glass, and then smiled lightly: "The cultivation world doesn't know about the Ming Dynasty today, dare to ask Brother Xiao, if you travel in the future, can you still ask when a strong enemy must appear?"

"This ...... Let's not talk about this tonight, let's get drunk!"

"Wait! It's naturally a big pleasure to get drunk with Brother Xiao, but please also ask Brother Xiao to make it clear what is the matter of today's invitation, if it is only for the things in the ring during the day, since we have already talked about it, I will also drink the wine, so there is no need to waste time, right?"

Xiao Mian smiled bitterly when he heard this, this Jing Chu's words were as straight as his Immortal Sword, which was difficult to resist!

"I think Brother Jing Chu is also a temperamental, so I'll say it directly!"

Putting down the wine glass, Xiao Mian pondered for a moment, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to deal with people like Jing Chu straight to the point.

"The intention of the Five Elements Sect to hold a sword fighting meeting this time, I think Brother Jing Chu should have heard of it, right? Now that I am in charge of the Five Elements Sect, there are only a few young disciples in the sect, and those who are interested in joining the Five Elements Sect within the top 100 of the Sword Fighting Society are all welcome to join the Five Elements Sect. I know Brother Jing Chu's strength best, although he missed the top 100, but if he intends to join the Five Elements Sect, Xiao is willing to recommend it on his behalf, do you think it's good?"

Listening to Xiao Mian's words, Jing Chu was relieved.

"Brother Xiao doesn't need to say it anymore!"

Interrupting Xiao Mian's words, Jing Chu looked serious.

"Jing Chu didn't come to participate in the Sword Fighting Meeting this time to join the Five Elements Gate. In fact, even if I can finally enter the top 100, or even the top 10, I will not consider joining the Five Elements Gate, not only the Five Elements Gate, but also other forces! The reason why I came to participate in the sword fighting meeting this time is just to compete with the masters of the younger generation, and to be able to defeat under Brother Xiao let Jing Chu know the lack of his strength, and he will have the motivation to continue to practice hard, this trip is enough for me!"

Xiao Mian smiled bitterly again when he heard this, the last thing he wanted to hear was this kind of answer.

Although Xiao Mian's victory over Jing Chu seemed to be very easy before, it was also because Jing Chu saw that he was under Xiao Mian's Gengjin Divine Light Sword, and he had no chance of winning at all and took the initiative to abandon the relationship.

And this is also the reason why Xiao Mian glanced at Jing Chu.

If Jing Chu can enter the Five Elements Gate, over time, with the supply of a large number of cultivation resources from the sect, Jing Chu's strength will definitely be greatly improved, not to mention the smooth formation of the Dan, but there is no problem in advancing to the level of the Emperor Fu Ling.

Now Jing Chu has rejected Xiao Mian's suggestion head-on, and it is obvious that he is just like Xuan Lang at the beginning, a pure casual cultivator.

Xiao Mian also once asked Xuan Lang why he was so keen to be a casual cultivator, but he was reluctant to join any sect, and at that time, Xuan Lang once said that for their pure casual cultivation, the pursuit of the Great Dao was only one of them, and it was not even the main goal, and unfettered freedom was their pursuit.

It's like the wind, just to fly freely and unrestrained!

"Brother Jing Chu's ambition, I understand! I won't say anything about letting Brother Jing Chu join the Five Elements Gate, but I still have one more thing I personally want to ask Brother Jing Chu, and I also ask Brother Jing Chu to drink this cup so that I can speak!"

"The art of the sword, you want to learn my sword-fighting technique?" Seeing that Xiao Mian nodded solemnly, Jing Chu's expression was a little strange and said, "You are a disciple of a dignified sect, and you actually want to learn the art of the sword from me?"

"This has nothing to do with whether it is a loose cultivator or a disciple of the sect, the path of cultivation, no matter the origin, no matter how old or young, the one who attains it comes first. ”

When he said this, Xiao Mian's face was serious.

Of course, Xiao Mian also thought so in his bones, he didn't care much about his identity as a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, plus the contact with Xuan Lang, not to mention that Xiao Mian was going to travel the world as a casual cultivator soon, and he himself was quite envious of the scattered cultivator.

Seeing that Jing Chu was still a little unconvinced, Xiao Mian had to shake his head and smile bitterly: "Brother Jing Chu, why should you be arrogant?

"Brother Xiao has won the prize!"

"I don't know where Brother Jing Chu got that set of sword inheritance?" Xiao Mian originally just asked casually, but after seeing Jing Chu hear this, he was quite embarrassed, just when Xiao Mian was puzzled, Jing Chu had already explained: "Jing Chu has not received any inheritance from the predecessors and sages, that set of sword skills is created by me!"

"What!?"

"Actually...... Actually, it's nothing! My sword skills are based on the common sword skills on the market, and I have improved them by myself, and I have written this book "Ten Essentials of Edgeworth"!" Seeing Xiao Mian looking at himself like a monster, Jing Chu, who was originally quite arrogant, became shy at this time, took out a small paper bound book from the storage bag, and said in a low voice: "If Brother Xiao can see it, I will give it to Brother Xiao!"

As he spoke, Jing Chu handed the small book with the words "Ten Essentials of the Imperial Sword" written in front of Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian looked at Jing Chu, then at the "Ten Essentials of the Sword", shook his head with a smile, and just when Jing Chu's face changed slightly, Xiao Mian spoke.

"Dare to ask Brother Jing Chu, your spiritual root is a golden and wood dual-attribute spiritual root?"

"This ...... , Brother Xiao's sense of the Five Elements Spiritual Energy is so keen?"

Jing Chu was stunned when he heard this, and his stunned was not unreasonable, because the spiritual root of the monk was an internal attribute, except for the fact that the Ancestor of the Yuan Infant could use his divine sense to detect the spiritual root of a low-level monk through the air, it could only be detected by physical contact such as cutting the pulse.

Of course, there are exceptions, when the monk operates his inner aura, there will inevitably be a part of the aura lost into the air, if it is a monk who is extremely sensitive to aura, you can roughly guess the other party's spiritual root attribute through the aura attribute emanating from the monk at this time, after all, what attribute of the spiritual root creates what attribute of aura.

"Our Five Elements Sect may not be very good at other exercises, but we have made some achievements in the Five Elements Spells, and our perception of the Five Elements Spiritual Energy is naturally quite keen. After fooling Jing Chu vaguely, seeing that the other party really did not suspect it, Xiao Mian continued to ask: "The golden and wood dual-attribute spiritual root can also be regarded as the earth spiritual root, but the five elements of Jin Kemu, Brother Jing Chu is also a sword cultivator, and most of the flying swords are gold and iron weapons, and the existence of the wood attribute spiritual root is afraid that it will make Brother Jing Chu distressed, right?"

"Who said it wasn't! Actually, the power and sharpness of my Immortal Sword could have been even higher, but because I had the existence of wood-attribute spiritual energy in my body, I had to integrate a wood-attribute thousand-year-old iron vine into the Immortal Sword, as a place for the wood-attribute aura to be stored after my aura was infused. ”

After talking about cultivation and the Immortal Sword, Jing Chu's expression became extremely serious, and as he spoke, he took out the Immortal Sword and handed it to Xiao Mian for inspection.

Xiao Mian was not polite, and after taking the Immortal Sword, he took a closer look, and sure enough, he found an iron vine like an iron wire at the spine of the Immortal Sword.

"It's a pity! It's a pity that Brother Jing Chu's talent is a pity! It's a pity that this Immortal Sword!"

"The innate spiritual root is like this, what can I do if so?"

"The innate spiritual root is not unchangeable!"

"What Brother Xiao said, could it be those reverse five elements spiritual materials in the legend?" Seeing Xiao Mian nodded, Jing Chu sighed with a wry smile: "Of course I know that with my attribute of gold and wood, if I can get a piece of gold in the wood, I can make up for the golden spiritual root, but the gold in the wood is not to mention that it is rare to see, it appears, and it is impossible to take it down with Jing Chu's net worth." Don't hide it from Brother Xiao, all of Jing Chu's belongings are bet on this immortal sword, and other than that, he has nothing to lose!"

"Brother Jing Chu's "Ten Essentials of the Imperial Sword", Xiao accepted it! It's just that it is useless, and Brother Jing Chu is invited to accept the return gift!"

Saying this, Xiao Mian took out a small porcelain bottle from the white jade flying pendant and threw it to Jing Chu without looking at it. Jing Chu was about to refuse, but when he saw that the porcelain bottle was not a high-end product, he thought that it might be some pills, so he put it away.

At that moment, the two drank a few more glasses, and Jing Chu said goodbye and left.

In the end, he didn't open the porcelain vase to look at it.

What was inside the porcelain vase was exactly what he dreamed of - gold in the wood!
