Chapter 241 Tianyang City (first update)
To Shi Xuan's expectation, among these disciples, the one with the highest talent in swordsmanship was not the extroverts such as Li Bingnan, but the delicate, introverted and shy Ren Shuiyao. Shi Xuan saw other talents in the swordsmanship she practiced. There is a sharpness and determination that people do not express.
Therefore, when they finished the drill, Shi Xuan slowly said: "I am very satisfied with the performance of these nephews. At least everyone knows that they will work hard and never slack off." When he said this, Shi Xuan His eyes were always fixed on these seven disciples. Their expressions were different. Some held their heads high and looked proud, some had slightly red faces and seemed a little shy, some had bright eyes and were ambitious, and some smiled but did not dare to look directly at Shi Xuan. Eyes. After a pause, Shi Xuan continued: "However, there is something inappropriate when you allocate the sword skills that each person is responsible for. Li Bingnan, you and Ren Shuiyao will switch, and she will be the leader of Canglong Qisu."
"What?" Not only Li Bingnan asked in silence, but others also looked surprised. They couldn't figure out why Master Shi asked Ren Shuiyao, a shy and introverted girl, to be the leader of the attack. Even Ren Shuiyao himself showed that he didn't dare to He had a look of belief, as if he had never thought that he had any talent for swordsmanship.
Shi Xuan chuckled and said: "You may not think that Master Nephew Ren is a bit introverted, but her talent in swordsmanship is the highest among you. Maybe she has a determined, direct and fierce side in her heart."
Determined? direct? Sharp? Everyone looked at Ren Shuiyao's blushing face and seemed completely unable to associate these words with her. It was really hard to imagine that such a little white rabbit would suddenly turn into a colorful tiger.
However, they were surprised, and everyone quickly believed it, because they all thought in their hearts, who is Uncle Shi? He is a master of swordsmanship, how could he be mistaken in swordsmanship!
So, on the second day of the drill.
Everyone looked at the blue sword light in the sky, its power was extremely fierce, and they were secretly shocked. Why had they never seen that the delicate and delicate Junior Sister Ren was so sharp and sharp in her heart before? Jiang Nianqiao especially couldn't believe it. , I have been friends for many years, but I have such a side. I keep lamenting in my heart that human nature is so complicated! Many contrasting personalities manifest themselves in the same person.
As Ren Shuiyao's last sword turned into a blue rainbow, he flew out without any return, creating a crack more than ten feet deep on the ground of the performance platform. The disciples in the audience almost even had their eyes bulging. came out. Although this was mostly due to the flying sword being good, when everyone saw the amazing effect, it was difficult to think about it. They were just amazed at the improvement of Ren Shuiyao's strength.
Ren Shuiyao walked off the performance stage and walked excitedly to Shi Xuan. She prostrated herself and said with a breathy voice: "I would like to thank you, Master Shi, for your guidance. I will never forget Master Shi's kindness." Although his talent is good, he still has a lot of trouble. Because of his introversion and timidity, Ren Shuiyao had an extremely difficult journey on the road of cultivation. Also because of his personality, Ren Shuiyao was often treated coldly and laughed at behind his back by others, so he did not have many friends. Compared to a lively person like Jiang Nianqiao, I don’t know how much my popularity has dropped.
In this environment, Ren Shuiyao gradually became more timid, less confident, and more afraid to interact with others. It was only today that Ren Shuiyao seemed to see a path that suited her. How could this not make her excited and burst into tears? Orbital, and all this is because of Uncle Shi’s guidance!
Shi Xuan looked at Ren Shuiyao. In the past, she was shy with timidity, but now she is shy with a little confidence, as if a small flower is slowly blooming: "We are all fellow Penglai sects, and I am the one who is here." Your elders are responsible for giving you guidance. The most important thing is your own efforts." Then he motioned to Ren Shuiyao not to say any more, "Okay, everyone has mastered 40% to 50% of the swordsmanship changes. Now let's start practicing the sword formation. . "We have to leave in the afternoon."
The seven outer disciples walked confidently onto the performance stage. The sword marks on it had disappeared, but they did not expect that this was the beginning of a nightmare.
After half a day, Li Bing, Jiang Nianqiao, Ren Shuiyao and others were so tired that they almost couldn't stand. They cooperated with the sword formation seventeen times in total, but all failed. The recovery period during the out-of-body period was slow, so they became like this now. But what frightened them the most was the expressionless face of Uncle Shi in the audience. It made them uneasy and filled their hearts with guilt. It was really inappropriate to disappoint the amiable Mr. Shi.
"Okay, don't be despondent. It's normal to fail in the first drill, because the most difficult thing about this sword formation is to cooperate. Just work hard from now on. Let's go." Shi Xuan didn't have any hope, so naturally he was not disappointed. At the same time, when heading towards Tianshu Peak, he also explained to them in detail where the seventeen times of cooperation had failed.
These words of encouragement made these outer disciples feel more and more that Uncle Shi was really a good person and a highly respected senior man. He was completely different from the arrogant, arrogant and ruthless people spread in the world of cultivation, so they all He looked at Shi Xuan with grateful and admiring eyes.

Tianyang City in Nanman Continent.
When Shi Xuan came out of the teleportation array with ten disciples, he saw the bustling and bustling street outside. Whether it was monks or mortals coming and going, or the way they were dressed, they were all full of the unique flavor of the Southern Barbarian Continent.
"Banyu, look, that's a real tiger!" Li Bingnan pointed at the passing Luhu human monk and said in great surprise.
Zhou Banyu also looked at him curiously: "Well, tiger's head, tiger's tail, tiger's claws, tiger's eyes." These words made Li Bingnan's mouth twitch slightly, and he wanted to pretend that he didn't know him, but he was so dumb!
The tiger monk didn't seem to like being judged by others. He glanced at this side fiercely, but when he found two masters of the Qi Entrainment stage, he gave up his mind and left quickly.
Jiang Nianqiao looked at the women from the fox and cat tribes and said with envy: "Shui Yao, look, their ears and tails look so cute! I want them too!"
Ren Shuiyao and other women nodded frequently, seeming to agree with Jiang Nianqiao's opinion. Even the two male disciples, Lu Feihu and Jia Song, nodded involuntarily while watching.
Hearing the whispers of the disciples behind them, Shi Xuan and Luo Banshan looked at each other and smiled. Both of them had been to the Southern Barbarian Continent during their travels, and they were only nostalgic for these scenery but not surprised.
Tianyang City is located in the southwest of the central part of the Nanman Continent. It is the largest city closest to the Luofu Sect. It is surrounded by swamps with many strange spiritual herbs and swamp monsters.
Shi Xuan led these excited disciples out of the city, and then glanced at Tang Youqiu. Tang Youqiu immediately took out a boat-shaped magic weapon and threw it into the air. Suddenly, a huge white ship appeared above. There are pavilions and pavilions on the ship, and the scenery is so picturesque that passers-by stopped to look at it and marveled at the great style of these monks.
"This Baiyun Boat is a famous high-grade magic weapon of the sect. It is more than enough to accommodate thousands of monks. And there are dozens or hundreds of stone puppets inside as servants, which is very comfortable." Tang Youqiu introduced to his junior brothers and sisters.
Shi Xuan glanced around: "Okay, let's all go up. The Luofu Sect is still three days away from here, so don't delay." This refers to the normal speed of the Baiyun Boat. If Shi Xuan escaped by himself, five or six The hour is here, and this time the Luofu Sect is opening its gates, so Shi Xuan doesn't have to go to Tianyang City to find a disciple of the Luofu Sect to lead the way.
Under Shi Xuan's command, clear light steps descended from the Baiyun Boat, allowing all the disciples to walk up with ease. As soon as they got on, there were stone puppets coming over, some taking them to their respective courtyards, some holding teacups and teapots... Then all the disciples sighed at the spaciousness and comfort of the white cloud boat, and the exquisiteness and agility of the stone puppets.
"Don't feel relaxed and comfortable. Let's continue practicing the sword formation after a break." Shi Xuan's words with a smile were like a bucket of cold water poured on their heads. However, it was their wish to practice the sword formation well as soon as possible, so there was no resistance. A case of laziness.
…………
Early morning three days later.
There are white clouds beside, above and below the white cloud boat. They change into different shapes with the wind in the sky. You can even touch those white clouds by stretching out your hand from the boat, not to mention the mountains and rivers when you look down. The majestic and spectacular scenery has never been seen by the outer disciples.
However, they did not have the time to enjoy the scenery. They rested every day when they were tired, and practiced the sword formation after resting. Finally, they slowly found the feeling of cooperation, and they meditated every day to restore their spirits. Everyone felt that they Soul power increases slightly.
Shi Xuan sat on a wooden bench and watched the seven disciples practice. On the other side was Zhou Banyu who was trying to get familiar with the Ecstasy Flag. Behind him were Luo Banshan and Tang Youqiu who were controlling the Baiyun Boat. Their strength had also been demonstrated in front of Shi Xuan. , Shi Xuan is quite confident in them.
The green sword light that was passing back and forth suddenly merged and turned into a huge green dragon that was more than ten feet long. It shook its head and swung its tail and rushed out with extraordinary power. It was okay at the beginning. The green dragon opened its mouth and danced its claws in a normal manner, but in the end , this green dragon seemed to have lost control and hit the deck of Baiyun Boat. Shi Xuan waved his sleeves, and seven green flying swords appeared in his hands, which were some small uses of the Yin and Yang gas bottles.
"Uncle Shi..." Li Bingnan and the other six disciples looked at Shi Xuan with shame. After successfully practicing the formation just now, they were so excited that they lost control of the flying sword. If it weren't for Uncle Shi, As the old man watched, he was afraid that a tragedy would result. However, Uncle Shi's method was really clever, and he caught the flying sword in his hand without any trace of fireworks.
Shi Xuan nodded: "You can successfully practice the formation so quickly, which is beyond my expectation. It's not bad. Some mistakes are inevitable, so be careful in the future. Well, we will be at the Luofu Sect soon, you guys can Don’t forget to continue the drill in the next two days. "Luofu Mountain can be seen ahead.
Before the disciples had time to answer, a huge chariot appeared in the distance, its body was blood red, and it was pulled by eight blood dragons with distinct scales and horns.
