Chapter 107: Clear Wind Sword Technique

  Lujus was originally just an ordinary scholar, not understanding martial arts. After five hundred years of oppression and slave education, Lujus had long forgotten the affairs of the previous dynasty, living peacefully under the enslavement of Dafeng, with a single heart to become an official through imperial examination, serving the master of the Dafeng royal family.

  All of this changed forever after Lu Jiusi wrote a line of poetry.

  One day, Lu Jiusi woke up from his noon nap and saw the clear wind blowing through the hall, flipping over the pages of books on his desk. He was inspired to write a poem: "The clear wind does not know characters, why does it randomly flip through books?"

  Lu Jiusi finished writing the poem and didn't think much of it, naturally not thinking that after he wrote this line, a wicked slave who had been severely punished by Lu Jiusi before came to clean the room. The wicked slave unintentionally saw this line, his eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed to find an opportunity for revenge.

  The wicked slave then took the paper with the poem on it to the government office and accused Lu Jiusheng of intending to rebel.

  At that time, even a single word that was not quite right could lead to imprisonment and loss of life. How much more so with Lu Jiusi's poem containing the words "clear wind".

  "Qing" itself has the meaning of clearing, "Feng" is the national title of the Great Wind Empire. Adding the following "illiterate" and "why disorderly flip through books", Lu Jiusheng's poem was immediately considered not only to express rebellious intentions but also to satirize the Great Wind Empire as being barbarian in origin and illiterate.

  Because of this poem, Lu Jiusi committed the so-called "ten evils unpardonable" great crime, was framed and imprisoned, and his wife, children, parents, even nine clans were all killed because of this matter.

  Lu Jiusi was originally to be taken to the capital and executed by lingchi, but due to a sudden fire in the prison that burned down the prison, he finally escaped fortunately.

  Various personal experiences and painful blows, during his time in prison, Lu Jiusheng had already awakened to the true nature of the so-called Empire of Great Wind. After escaping, Lu Jiusheng abandoned his brush for martial arts, vowing to master the supreme martial way, exterminate the imperial family of Great Wind, avenge his deep blood feud, and restore the world of Daqian.

  Since then, Lu Jiusi has been living in seclusion in the deep mountains, spending his days with nature and facing the lonely wind and cold moon. He learned from nature and made friends with the monsters in the mountains.

  At last, after more than twenty years, Lu Jiusheng comprehended the "Clear Wind Sword Technique" in a gust of clear wind, and his swordsmanship finally reached perfection.

  This swordsmanship is named "Clear Wind Swordsmanship", not only because it was inspired by the clear wind, but also because the two words "clear wind" have a special meaning. By taking this name, Lu Jiusheng is showing his determination to eradicate the Great Wind Imperial Family.

  Lu Jiusheng came out of the mountain and happened to meet Emperor Taizong of the Great Dryness leading the righteous army to resist the Great Wind. Lu Jiusheng then joined the righteous army and assisted Emperor Taizong.

  Facing the corrupt and incompetent imperial court of Da Feng, the righteous army did not need to exert much effort. In just one year's time, they defeated the Da Feng military, and their troops surrounded the capital of Da Feng Empire.

  Lu Jiusi took the initiative to request, single-handedly with a sword, and alone broke into the heavily guarded Dafeng Imperial City. In the imperial palace, he also fought fiercely with many royal high-ranking masters. After one night, he beheaded 367 people of the Dafeng Royal Family, avenging his deep blood feud, and the direct bloodline of the Dafeng Royal Family was extinct from then on.

  After Da Qian recovered the country, Lu Jiusheng's whereabouts became a mystery, and no one knew where he went.

  There are various legends about Lu Jiuyuan's later life, with some saying he lived in seclusion in the mountains and others claiming that Emperor Wu was jealous of him and had him killed.

  The "Clear Wind Sword Technique" of Lu Jiusheng, which was the most concerned about by Wu Xiuren and others, also disappeared along with Lu Jiusheng's whereabouts.

  Lu Jiusi relied on "Qingfeng Jianfa" to cut down many imperial high-ranking officials in one night, extinguishing the bloodline of the Dafeng Imperial Family. Just this point can show the power of "Qingfeng Jianfa". Therefore, all martial artists yearn for "Qingfeng Jianfa" like hungry wolves.

  "The Qingfeng Swordsmanship" has been shrouded in mystery, but over the past thousand years, there have been repeated rumors of its appearance in certain places. Whenever this happens, regardless of whether it's true or false, it always stirs up a storm of blood and rain.

  Who would have thought that this swordsmanship, which everyone yearned for and fought bloody battles over, was actually left alone, tattered and worn out in the Ning family's scripture pavilion? This situation really made one laugh and cry at the same time.

  There's no need to hesitate any longer, Ning Chong made an immediate decision and chose to take away the tattered ancient book.

  Apart from martial arts, Ning Chong also had to choose a qigong method. Among over ten high-level qigong methods that felt good, Ning Chong finally chose the Pure Element Qigong.

  "Pure Yuan Gong" is a relatively well-known cultivation method in the Ning family. The internal yuan qi cultivated by "Pure Yuan Gong" is more refined and thicker, with an advantage in both quality and quantity compared to other methods of the same level. However, the difficulty of cultivating "Pure Yuan Gong" is also famous within the family.

  "Pure Yuan Gong" has a total of seven turns, each corresponding to the seven major realms of cultivation. The first three turns do not show the advantages of "Pure Yuan Gong", but rather are inferior to other same-level cultivation methods. It is only after the fourth turn that there will be some advantage. And after the highest seventh turn, the advantage will be very large, and the speed of cultivation will also be significantly faster than that of the same level of cultivation method.

  The difficulty of advancing the realm of Gongfa cultivation is well-known to all martial artists. It's precisely because "Pure Yuan Gong" has such characteristics that those who choose to cultivate it in the family are extremely rare, like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

  However, the characteristics of "Pure Yuan Gong" seem to be tailor-made for Ning Chong, and it suits him too well. With the help of his extraordinary feelings, Ning Chong's cultivation of the realm of gongfa can be said to be easy and effortless, without much worry.

  About an hour later, Ning Chong had already chosen his skills and martial arts, carrying the "Clear Wind Swordsmanship" and "Pure Yuan Skill", he walked out of the Scripture Pavilion and came to register in front of the Guardian Elder.

  The usually stone-like Guardian Elder slowly opened his eyes, carefully sizing up Ning Cong for a moment before smiling slightly and lowering his gaze to look at the "Clear Wind Sword Technique" that Ning Cong had brought, and couldn't help but pause in surprise.

  " 'Clear Wind Sword Technique'? " The elder's brow furrowed, and he said seriously, "Are you certain you want to learn the Clear Wind Sword Technique?"

  Ning Chong smiled and pretended not to understand, asking: "Elder, is there something wrong with this 'Clear Wind Sword Technique'?"

  "That's right, this 'Clear Wind Sword Technique' does have a problem," said the Guardian Elder with a nod. "Do you know what level of martial skills and techniques are stored in this layer of the Scripture Pavilion that you can currently enter?"

  Ning Chongdao said: "I know, the first layer is placed with high-level martial skills and techniques. Elder, could it be that this 'Clear Wind Sword Technique' has a flaw or side effect?"

  The elder of the Guardian Pavilion smiled and said, "Your brain is quite quick, but this Clear Wind Sword Technique isn't that simple... Guess what level of martial skill this Clear Wind Sword Technique is?"
