Chapter 439: Chapter 4 Martial Arts Legend, Chi Xiao Sword Sound_3

"I see your name is on it as well,"

The girl’s face showed no trace of emotion, she simply said,

"Yes, such as, Great Chen’s Imperial Guard."

The young Taoist’s mouth twitched.

"Does aunt know?"

Shaking Light nodded lightly, "Mhm."

Thus, Li Guanyi felt utterly despondent.

Thinking that his aunt would know of his title as Great Chen’s Imperial Guard, and would likely tease him for a long time, he became vexed, grumbling just like old Master Chen Chengbi, questioning what kind of name The World’s First Building was thinking up?

Did you come up with the names by kicking your heels together?

He lay there, arms behind his head as a cushion.

This Nan Qingping, her martial arts are not weak, stronger even than Yuwen Hua and Xu Huixiang.

Only in her twenties.

In the Martial World, there are heroes hidden everywhere.

Shaking Light rummaged through her large bundle for a while and pulled out a roll of the Famous Hero List.

Then she stuffed it over.

The young Taoist looked at the Famous Hero List that Shaking Light passed to him, and saw this person’s experiences. As for her cultivation and swordsmanship, he added another note, Li Guanyi looked down slightly and said, "It seems related to one of the Martial Arts Legends, the ’Green Bird [Longevity]’."

"Indeed."

Li Guanyi sensed the Golden Core of the ’Eternal Moon Undying Body’ inside him slowly rotate.

The origin of this cultivation technique stemmed from a mad rant by Marquis Hou Zhongyu’s grandmaster after a rainy night conversation with the green-robed guest. Hou Zhongyu’s master stole the technique, and it took him 60 years to disperse the malice within the technique and blend it with the Alchemist’s Immortal Elixir’s insights, thereby refining it again.

But its essence still came from the green-robed guest.

Thus, Li Guanyi and Nan Qingping felt a reaction when they came close to each other.

It was similar to discovering that the other might belong to the same sect or lineage.

Martial Arts Legend, huh?

"That Martial Arts Legend, referred to as Longevity?"

Li Guanyi lay there, hands cushioning the back of his head, pondering that unreachable title. After ten days into the Martial World, alongside witnessing many meaningless conflicts, he still encountered some special events.

The ’Eternal Moon Undying Body’s’ Golden Core he had at the moment was sufficient to coordinate with the Green Bird Dharma Form to protect his heart from being eroded by ’Fei Blood,’ but that was just for preserving life.

When the Fei Blood flared, it was still extremely painful.

Sometimes the pain was so severe, Li Guanyi would punch the ground furiously. Once calm, soaked in sweat, he would have left pits of various sizes in the ground. In this state, the strength he exhibited was actually three parts greater than normal.

But it was excruciating for him.

The Martial Arts Legend, the green-robed guest’s technique—could it possibly expel the deadly poison of ’Fei Blood’?

Lost in wild thoughts, Li Guanyi picked up a gourd and took a drink. The girl became curious, so Li Guanyi found a small cup, poured some for Shaking Light, who lightly sniffed it and then licked it, before slowly sipping it mouthful by mouthful.

"Tastes good, right?"

Li Guanyi sat on the ox cart, smiling as he spoke, while Shaking Light kneeled beside him and nodded.

The ox cart trundled along leisurely.

After leaving the town, they passed through a rural path. The sunlight was scorching, but it became much better after noon. The sky gradually dimmed, but Shaking Light paused slightly, and Li Guanyi, who was thinking about the future, felt the girl reach out and pull on him.

Li Guanyi placed his hand on his sword and cast a sideways glance at Shaking Light.

The silver-haired girl said, "Someone is following us."

Li Guanyi asked, "Is there any hostility?"

Shaking Light replied, "No."

"But he discovered me."

Being able to detect Shaking Light’s formation already signified a certain possibility. Li Guanyi grasped his sword, and after thinking for a moment, Shaking Light pulled him closer and then leaned in quickly.

The girl’s breath was at his ear, and her temples brushed past the front of Li Guanyi.

Shaking Light said something in a very soft voice.

Then she said, "You just have to shout it out loud."

Li Guanyi held his sword, nodded, and proclaimed loudly:

"Primordial one within the primary, twelve at Yuan’s Meeting, three hundred sixty in the cycles of Yuan, four thousand three hundred twenty in the epoch of Yuan, Primordial one, as spring operates in the time of spring. Yuan’s Meeting, as spring operates in the time of summer. The cycles of Yuan, as spring operates in the time of autumn. The epoch of Yuan, as spring operates in the time of winter."

Shaking Light spoke again, and Li Guanyi shouted out the words the girl had told him.

After changing positions several times, Li Guanyi finally said:

"The position is in the east, beneath the trees, half in spring, half in autumn."

"Please come out."

As Li Guanyi’s voice faded, after a long while, someone walked out from that place. It was none other than the Taoist he had seen that day. His ancient-looking face from the Taoist Sect swept past the girl beside Li Guanyi.

He had come here following the rhythm of the Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture, intent on forming a karmic connection.

This young fellow did not seem to possess the innate bones of someone who could divine prophecies using mathematical charts—having not noticed, he had intended to leave. He did not understand the subtleties of formations, but the girl beside him had discovered it.

However, whether it was Li Guanyi who discovered it or not,

His coming out was a matter of karma.

The Taoist said, "The road ahead is long, may I trouble you for a ride?"

Li Guanyi laughed and said, "We meet by chance like passing water, all of us strangers in a foreign land. Please, come aboard."

The ancient-looking Taoist boarded the cart, his gaze swept over the long-haired cat, the silver-haired girl, and finally settled on Li Guanyi. He looked down, extended his hand, and laid down the Copper Coin Li Guanyi had only given him that day, still speaking in an even tone, "You said it could cover seven to eight days of meals."

"Consider it seven to eight days’ meals then."

Li Guanyi grinned, feeling this mysterious Taoist—whose origins were unknown—was somewhat difficult to handle, and even a bit sharp-tongued. Li Guanyi laughed heartily, not minding these, for he was of a generous nature. With Shaking Light’s assessment, he simply said cheerfully:

"Great, the money returns and it’s also a stroke of good luck!"

The ancient Taoist said nothing in response.

Li Guanyi drove the ox cart leisurely along.

Before nightfall, they needed to find a place to stay. At a crossroads, Li Guanyi encountered decision paralysis and hesitated. That’s when Shaking Light extended her hand, with starlight swirling and shifting in her palm, then looked at Li Guanyi and said:

"Please give me your hand."

Li Guanyi passed over his hand, and the girl held his palm, chanting maxims and predicting the stars.

Then her eyes opened, her voice serene.

"The path to the left holds certain risks but also some opportunities."

"Regarding risks, there may be a chance of wielding weapons. As long as you stay calm and cautious, you will not be harmed."

"The path on the right is uneventful."

"You may choose one."

Li Guanyi laughed and said, "You know about these things too, Shaking Light? Hmm, the Three Sects of the World do know this stuff. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Let’s take the left path..."

Li Guanyi looked towards the path on the left.

Just at that moment, the manifestation of the Chi Xiao Sword within Li Guanyi’s body suddenly let out a piercing cry.

It was exceptionally intense.
