RNP Chapter 127 Sword Tomb
Chapter 127 Sword Tomb
Led by the Divine Condor, Gu Qianbei and Yang Guo arrived at the Sword Tomb, the place where the Sword Demon buried his sword!
"Sword Tomb, what a strange name."
Yang Guo made a comment, while Gu Qianbei focused his attention on the tombstones.
These tombstones each bury one of the Sword Demon's five swords, representing his five sword-wielding realms: the unintentional sharp sword, the unpredictable soft sword, the edgeless heavy sword, the unhindered wooden sword, and the swordless and formless sword.
Beneath the tombstone of the sword lies a Qingfeng sword, a first-rate weapon, comparable to a divine weapon.
There was only a stone slab under the tombstone of the soft sword; the real Ziwei soft sword had long been discarded by Dugu Qiubai.
Beneath the tombstone of the heavy sword lies a heavy sword, entirely black with no blade, weighing several tens of kilograms.
Beneath the wooden sword tombstone lies a decayed wooden sword, nothing particularly special.
Beneath the swordless tombstone, there was nothing, absolutely nothing.
However, when Gu Qianbei opened the wooden sword tombstone, he found a wooden box inside, but the box was empty.
"Brother Eagle, why is this box empty?"
Gu Qianbei asked curiously.
The eagle let out a few low cries, which Yang Guo then translated.
"Master, Brother Diao said that the contents of this wooden box were taken away decades ago."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianbei raised an eyebrow and thought to himself, "This wooden box is not in the original story, but it is here. Could it be the box containing the Dugu Nine Swords?"
As for the Dugu Nine Swords, weren't they already taken by Feng Qingyang?
Gu Qianbei thought about it and felt that this was very likely.
It seems I don't have much of a connection with the Dugu Nine Swords, but that's alright.
With the Qingfeng Sword and the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword at hand, he's not at a loss.
Just as Gu Qianbei was pondering, the Divine Eagle slapped the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword at him.
Gu Qianbei was startled and quickly reached out to catch it.
Although he caught the hilt of the sword, he was still shocked by its astonishing weight.
The tip of the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword slammed into the ground with a loud thud.
"Master, it seems the Divine Eagle wants you to use this sword to fight it."
Yang Guo continued.
"I can tell."
Gu Qianbei said in a low voice.
It seems that his swordsmanship has been recognized by the Condor Heroes, so the Condor Heroes intends to teach him the heavy sword technique.
This is an opportunity, and Gu Qianbei naturally wouldn't reject it.
It was too sudden; he wasn't prepared for it.
At that moment, Gu Qianbei channeled his inner strength, gripped the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, and lifted it up.
"Brother Eagle, I think I understand what you mean. You want to teach me how to use this heavy sword. In that case, I won't disappoint you. Come on!"
Seeing that Gu Qianbei was so cooperative, the Condor was very pleased and immediately launched another attack.
Gu Qianbei had just begun practicing the heavy sword technique, so naturally there were many difficulties.
Fortunately, he was in good health and had decent cultivation, plus he had various drinks to replenish his energy, so he progressed very quickly.
After a round of battle, the Condor's eyes were filled with surprise, but even more so with joy.
It seems to have found a good successor for the Sword Demon.
So, Gu Qianbei and Yang Guo settled down in the Sword Demon Valley.
The next day, while Gu Qianbei was brewing the Xuan Snake Dew, Shen Diao brought back the gallbladder of the Bodhi Qu Snake, wanting him to swallow it raw to enhance his internal strength and power, but he politely declined.
"Brother Eagle, I appreciate your kindness."
However, snake gallbladders also contain toxins. Eating them raw, while effective, will not maximize their benefits and will leave the toxins in the body.
I think you should have been very handsome, but now you have a growth on your head and hardly any feathers left. I suppose it's all a side effect of eating snake gallbladders for a long time.
I advise you to eat less of it.
I have a way to brew it into a fine wine that is not only non-toxic but also maximizes the effects of snake gall.
"Once I've finished brewing it, I'll invite you to try some."
Upon hearing this, the Divine Eagle looked suspicious.
It was clear that they were doubting Gu Qianbei's words.
Gu Qianbei didn't explain anything, but instead took out the Cangguang Gourd, poured out a cup of Five Poisons Tempering Wine, and handed it to the Divine Condor.
"Brother Diao, this wine of mine can detoxify you. Drink a few more sips, and it might help you detoxify."
It will make the growth on your head disappear, and your feathers will grow back.
Upon hearing this, the eagle became interested, immediately tossed the snake gall aside, picked up a wine cup, and began to drink.
After taking that bite, the eagle's eyes lit up, and then it let out a loud burp.
With that loud burp, a wisp of black smoke also emerged.
That was the venom of the Bosphorus snake!
The Divine Eagle was overjoyed and let out a low cry. It looked at Gu Qianbei with eager eyes and raised its wine cup towards him, indicating that it wanted another cup.
"Brother Eagle, don't worry. You've been poisoned for a long time, and it won't be completely cured in a short time."
You can only drink one glass of this wine a day.
I will then use acupuncture to stabilize the toxins for you.
After seven days, it should help you eliminate all the toxins.
What do you think?
Upon hearing this, the Divine Eagle nodded repeatedly.
Thus, life for the two people and the eagle in the valley became much simpler.
The Condor Heroes accompanied Gu Qianbei in practicing the heavy sword technique, Gu Qianbei detoxified the Condor Heroes, and Yang Guo was not idle either.
Gu Qianbei applied to the Condor Heroes and gave the Qingfeng Sword to Yang Guo, who then began to practice basic sword techniques.
Although no sword techniques were left behind by Qingfeng Sword, Divine Condor was also proficient in some of Dugu Qiubai's sword techniques, so he casually gave Yang Guo a few pointers.
For no other reason than that Shen Gui simply found Yang Guo pleasing to the eye.
Therefore, over the course of a few days, Yang Guo's swordsmanship improved significantly.
"This Yang Guo is truly a martial arts prodigy; his cultivation speed is no slower than mine."
Fortunately, I have a cheat code. After taking a sip of the Thousand Days' Intoxication, my comprehension in a drunken state was instantly maxed out, and I have now basically mastered this heavy sword technique.
Gu Qianbei took out the Cangguang Gourd, took a sip of the Thousand-Day Intoxication, and once again entered a state of drunken enlightenment.
At this moment, the heavy sword in his hand seemed to have come to life, guiding him to continuously unleash that simple yet powerful sword technique.
Seven days later, Gu Qianbei felt that he had become much stronger and his swordsmanship had become more skillful.
The sword techniques here are not limited to heavy sword techniques; other sword techniques are also used in the same way.
He was just one step away from achieving the effortless mastery of heavy swordsmanship, as represented by the heavy sword technique.
"Without the addition of snake gall, the strength increase is not enough."
That is precisely why I have been unable to fully master the heavy sword technique.
Gu Qianbei knew where his problem lay, and to solve it, he needed the Mysterious Serpent Dew!
Seven days have passed, and the brewing of the Black Serpent Dew has reached its final stage.
This is the best time to open the altar!
Gu Qianbei looked at the wine jar in front of him, his eyes full of anticipation.
I hope you won't let me down.
Seeing that Gu Qianbei was about to open the wine jar, Yang Guo also ran over curiously.
"Master, can we finally open the wine?"
Yang Guo was also full of anticipation.
Gu Qianbei nodded slightly, then slapped open the mud seal on the Xuan She Lu wine jar with his palm!
The next moment, the aroma of wine wafted out and filled the entire Sword Demon Valley!
