The house where Du Mengyan lives was also newly built. There were not many decorations outside or inside the house. It could only be described as simple.
After Lu Chengfeng entered the room, he smelled the fragrance. After a quick look, he found that there was an incense burner on the desk with a stick of calming incense in it. The faint fragrant mist filled the air and filled the entire room.
In addition, there was a gauze curtain hanging over the bed, and there was a bookshelf in the room, on which were placed many ancient books that had turned yellow. In addition, there was a weapon rack that specifically displayed the Xuanyang ancient sword.
Although the furnishings are simple, they are arranged very carefully.
Du Mengyan sat cross-legged on the bed, her figure blocked by the gauze curtain, and only a hazy shadow could be seen through, making it difficult to see clearly.
"You came to me for no reason and said these things in such a slick way. Humph, tell me, what do you want from me?"
Lu Chengfeng laughed dryly twice. He and Du Mengyan didn't have much interaction before. They never visited each other without a reason. It was just that after that fight, there was a little more ambiguity between them, but that was all.
He thought about it all the way and didn't think he could trick the sect's secret skills from Du Mengyan by sweet talk. The other party was not that stupid.
After a brief pause, Lu Chengfeng said, "Sister, do you know about the Immortal Bone?"
Du Mengyan's pupils shrank. This was her most fundamental secret. No one knew it except Taoist Xuanyang. Almost everyone thought that she had obtained the Qingkong Tiansui Lingye, the supreme treasure of the Wood Element, which was why she was able to make such rapid progress in her practice.
Before she could even open her mouth to speak, Lu Chengfeng continued, "Senior sister, there is no need to be suspicious. The reason I mentioned this is because I also have immortal bones."
Du Mengyan finally showed a look of surprise on her face. She lifted the gauze curtain and walked down from the bed.
She was still wearing a plain white gauze dress, but today she tied a red silk ribbon around her waist, which lifted her slender waist and highlighted her graceful body curves.
"You actually have immortal bones?"
It's no wonder that Du Mengyan was so surprised. The word "immortal bone" is simple to say, but in fact it is a peerless monster that is rarely seen in the thirteen states of the world.
If one possesses immortal bones, as long as nothing unexpected happens, one will definitely be able to achieve celestial status. This alone shows how terrifying a person with immortal bones is.
In the huge Yuncang Sword Sect, with 108 outer peaks and five inner peaks, she is the only one who possesses immortal bones.
If nothing unexpected happens, as long as Du Mengyan can achieve the status of a half-step celestial being, she will be able to take over as the sect leader naturally.
It was only because of the incident with Xun Shuijing twenty years ago that the sect concealed his immortal bone qualifications in order to prevent any accidents.
"If I hadn't possessed the Immortal Bone, how could I have cultivated the Zhao family's Fiery Flame Spear to such a level in such a short time?" Lu Chengfeng said bluntly, "In addition to the Immortal Bone, I also obtained the Zhao family's magical skill, the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Dragon."
Du Mengyan calmed down after hearing this. "You suddenly came to me and told me everything about the immortal bone and the magic skill. I'm afraid you have something to ask of me, right?"
Lu Chengfeng sighed, knowing that he couldn't hide it, and he didn't intend to hide it, so he stopped beating around the bush and said, "Senior Sister, I came here today to ask for something."
After he finished speaking, he bowed and said, "I would like to ask Senior Sister for the Manual of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword. I hope Senior Sister will help me."
Du Mengyan didn't feel too surprised. "Since you have the Immortal Bone, it's normal for you to want to seek the Sword Manual of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword."
"But this magical skill is the sect's fundamental inheritance, and I can't teach it to you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chengfeng was moved. If she couldn't teach him, then that meant she really did have the sword manual of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword? !
He took a deep breath and said, "Sister, I know that the sect's magical skills will never be taught easily, but this sword manual is related to my future practice. I am willing to pay any price for it."
"I am willing to hand over the Zhao family's Eight Desolate Divine Fire Dragon technique to the sect. Apart from that, if the sect has any other needs, I am willing to take care of them all. I only ask for a review of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword Manual."
Du Mengyan frowned slightly, "Junior brother, it's not that I'm unkind, but the inheritance of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword is extremely precious, and it's not recorded in words, but passed down in the form of Dharma."
"Although I was fortunate enough to comprehend it once, my current cultivation level is not high enough, so I can't teach it to others at all."
Lu Chengfeng's heart suddenly sank, and he said bitterly, "Is there really no other way? The day after tomorrow I will go to Hexian Peak to fight Li Chungang. I will almost certainly lose this battle, and there is a 70% chance that I will die on the spot."
"The Manual of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword will be my only hope."
Du Mengyan shook her head and said, "The time is too short. Even if you get the sword manual of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, it is impossible to practice it to a high level in a short period of time."
"It is better to enhance your combat power through other methods. I can lend you the Xuanyang Sword again."
When she said this, her tone was slightly strange, and she felt her buttocks seemed to be hot. She couldn't help but grit her teeth and forcefully suppressed all the thoughts in her mind, not allowing herself to recall the scene when she last lent out the Xuanyang Ancient Sword.
"This battle will be in public view, and the Sky Patrol will also send people to watch. If I use the Yuncang Sword Sect's Xuanyang Ancient Sword to fight Li Chungang, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble, and even make this battle more complicated."
Lu Chengfeng refused without thinking, "If I can get the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword Manual, I will have the hope of practicing the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Dragon Art to the twenty-seventh level in a short period of time. In this way, I will be qualified to compete with Li Chungang."
"If I am lucky enough to win, before July 15th, I might have the opportunity to step into the realm of half-step heavenly being."
"The sect is in danger, so I naturally don't want to surrender and sit and wait for death. If I can achieve half-step heavenly man, maybe I can have more opportunities..."
Du Mengyan showed a look of surprise on her face and looked at him in disbelief, "Can you really achieve half-step heavenly being in such a short time?"
Lu Chengfeng nodded seriously, "This matter is related to my immortal bone. If I can obtain the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword Manual, the twenty-seventh level of skills will be easy for me, and I will be able to reach the half-step celestial being within reach."
"So please help me this time, Senior Sister. I am willing to pay any price for it."
After saying this, he bowed again.
Du Mengyan looked at Lu Chengfeng in front of her, with a look of struggle and hesitation on her face. After a long time, she sighed, "I do have a jade pendant that can inherit the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword."
"When Master gave this item to me, he told me to cultivate to a half-step celestial being and to condense the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword Technique, and then find a suitable successor to pass down the jade pendant."
"Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, the sect's Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword will most likely be completely lost."
"This responsibility is too great, I..."
Lu Chengfeng immediately understood her concerns and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As expected, in the eyes of the sect's top leaders, people like Du Mengyan, who had been trained since childhood, were more trustworthy.
Neither he nor Zhu Yuxian could enter the sect's core decision-making level, let alone gain such trust.
Du Mengyan paced back and forth in the room, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly stopped and said, "How about this? I will send a letter to the sect and ask for Master's opinion. If he agrees, I will give you the jade pendant."
Lu Chengfeng's eyelids twitched slightly. It was fine to fool a simple woman like Du Mengyan, but if he really brought this matter to the attention of those old foxes, there would be no chance of success. He deliberately revealed a look of pain and helplessness, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, if this is the case, it will be too late. By the time the master sends back the news, I am afraid I will have died in Hexian Peak."
"After all, it's because Senior Sister doesn't trust me enough."
“Well, whether Senior Sister agrees or not, I am willing to hand over the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Dragon Technique. Even if it helps to increase the foundation of the sect, it can be regarded as a reward for Master’s training me for so many years.”
"After this battle with Li Chungang, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back. After I die, I hope Senior Sister can collect my body. I'm afraid of pain, so don't cremate me. If possible, bury me on the top of Yulong Mountain, so that I can accompany you forever."
Du Mengyan was a little annoyed. "It's already this time, and you still want to pretend in front of me. Do you really think I'm a fool? I can understand that you want to have magical powers, but I also have my own difficulties. Why do you have to force me?"
"You keep saying death, death, death. Why don't you just go die? Why do you have to provoke me?"
Lu Chengfeng was speechless after hearing her words. His performance just now not only did not produce a good effect, but was also seen through by Du Mengyan, which was counterproductive.
It seems that his acting skills are really not up to standard, he couldn't help but reflect on it.
Du Mengyan walked to the weapon rack and picked up the Xuanyang Sword. A hint of cool air came from the scabbard, which made her mind calm down a little.
"Lu Chengfeng, I, Du Mengyan, am not as stupid as you think. I will not be deceived into giving away my sect's magical skills with just a few words from you."
"The reason why I am considering this matter seriously is not because of you, but for the sect. If you can really achieve half-step heavenly being, it will be of vital importance to the sect."
“Even if things get out of control in the end, we have established a sect in Yulong Mountain. With the protection of a half-step celestial being, the situation will be very different.”
"Don't think about me with your dirty mind..."
Lu Chengfeng smiled bitterly, "Senior Sister, I was wrong."
"Alright!" Du Mengyan interrupted him with a wave of her hand. "Now that things have come to this, don't say any more useless words."
"The Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword is the sect's fundamental inheritance. Once I give you the only jade talisman, if something unexpected happens later, this magical skill may be completely lost."
"This responsibility is too great, I can't bear it!"
"You can blame me, but if you really die in Hexian Peak, I will kill Li Chungang at all costs and let him be buried with you."
"But the sword manual..."
"Sister!" Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but speak, "I beg you for this. I can promise you that as long as I don't die at the hands of the people in Youdu, I will definitely re-imprint the magic on the jade pendant and ensure that the sect's magic skills are not cut off."
Du Mengyan shook her head in annoyance: "You don't understand, some things can't be guaranteed by promises. That jade pendant is the sect's last guarantee."
"The most important thing is that there is no one in the entire sect who has cultivated this magical skill to the level of a half-step celestial being. If one jade pendant is used, there will be one less."
"If I'm not mistaken, besides the one I have, there is only one left in the entire sect."
"Tell me, how dare I hand it over?"
When Lu Chengfeng heard this, he felt even more anxious. If he couldn't get the sword manual of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword from Du Mengyan, then he would have no hope at all.
"Senior Sister, look here..."
Du Mengyan was feeling upset, and when she heard this, she subconsciously looked back. A warning sign suddenly emerged in her heart, and the Xuanyang ancient sword in her hand hummed violently, like a dragon bound by iron chains, struggling frantically to break free from the sheath.
However, she subconsciously reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword, preventing the magic sword from rushing out on its own.
During this delay, Lu Chengfeng rushed in front of him, with red flame-like true energy swirling in his hands. He instantly blocked his meridians and then placed his fingers on his neck.
Du Mengyan stood there without moving, just staring at Lu Chengfeng in front of her, her tone colder than ever before, "What do you mean? Are you going to kill me?"
Lu Chengfeng looked at her, feeling inexplicably irritated. Just now, this woman clearly had the opportunity to use the magic sword to protect herself from his sudden attack, and then engage in a head-on confrontation.
But she...
That was what she did when she borrowed the Xuanyang Sword. She never considered what she would do if such a precious sword was lost.
This time, regarding the sword manual, she could have simply refused without even telling him about the jade pendant. But she hesitated and struggled, just because of herself.
At this moment, the two looked at each other, and Lu Chengfeng felt extremely ashamed, as if a huge rock was blocking his heart.
Luo Suyi was forced to marry me; Qiu Tong married me for other reasons; my junior sister Zhao Ling'er and I were childhood sweethearts, and the feelings they developed over many years of getting along.
But Du Mengyan had only dealt with him a few times, but she was so attentive to him...but he did such a thing...he was simply unworthy of being a man!
He could kill strangers without mercy, and he could also be ruthless to those who threatened his life, but would he still do that to a woman who had no interests involved and was simply treating him well?
Thinking of this, Lu Chengfeng suddenly slapped himself, "Senior Sister, I am bewildered."
His fingers flashed, releasing the Qi that was blocking Du Mengyan's meridians.
"I don't want the sword manual of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword anymore. I will figure out a way to fight Li Chungang myself. Whether I live or die is up to fate."
"A real man has his share of do's and don'ts. I never thought I would do something so disgusting today."
"I am sorry for you, and I am too ashamed to see you again."
"Master... Mengyan... let's say goodbye now. Don't be so naive in the future. There is no good man in this world."
After saying this, he turned and left.
"Stop right there!" Du Mengyan gritted her teeth lightly, looking at the back of the damn man. For some reason, she did not feel sad in her heart, but instead felt a hint of inexplicable joy.
Even she herself didn't understand why this happened. She just looked at Lu Chengfeng's determined figure leaving and subconsciously tried to keep him.
"Come as you like, leave as you like, what do you think this place is?"
