Holding this wisp of sword gi, he said softly, “From young till now, from nothing to something, from weak to strong. My Body Tempering is not strong now, and my mental power is not strong. However, I’ll walk up step by step. One day, I’ll stand at the peak of the mountain and hold this sword qi.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon roar disappeared, and the white dragon that swooped down suddenly disappeared, leaving only a wisp of white sword qi wrapped around his arm. It was as brilliant as the sun, vast and untainted.

An Le raised his head and looked at the mountain formed by the sword qi. The mountain was green and gradually disappeared into the whiteness.

He saw a green mountain inside the Green Mountain.

He lowered his head and looked at the gradually gentle righteous sword qi that had fused with his heart. A smile appeared in his eyes.

In the courtyard, demon qi gathered around the demon tiger, and its roar shook the surroundings.

The old man’s sword qi spread out and suppressed this commotion, causing all the experts in Lin’an Prefecture to not notice it.

Madam Hua and the old man frowned as they stared at the youth in the courtyard.

Suddenly, the young man stood quietly and held the bamboo sword, Green Mountain, as if he had fallen into an extremely mysterious state.

The two of them did not disturb him and only watched from afar, even though An Le’s current state was strange.

Madam Hua turned to look at the old man and asked curiously, “Senior, why is this bamboo sword called Green Mountain? Is it called Green Mountain since the beginning?”

There was a hint of nostalgia in the old man’s eyes. He smiled and said, “No, the sword is nameless. The person who taught me the sword said that the sword is called Green Mountain. I can name it anything. Later on, I saw a mountain in the sword and understood why the sword was called Green Mountain.”

“However, I haven’t seen that mountain for too long. I almost thought that it was my imagination.”

“Perhaps Green Mountain is no longer around.”

The old man’s words confused Madam Hua for a moment. Green Mountain is in the sword?

There was only sword qi in the sword. How could it hide a mountain?

However, the old man did not explain to Madam Hua. He raised his head and looked at the young man in the courtyard, only to see the sword qi around An Le gradually calm down.

The righteous sword qi surged bit by bit and became incomparably gentle, brushing An Le’s body like a breeze.

The moonlight was cold and scattered like gauze.

An Le slowly opened his eyes. His Qi Blood was vigorous, and it was faintly like the sun hanging high in the sky. His Inner Core was pure and exuded unparalleled strength.

His originally exhausted mind had also recovered. His eyes were sharp and he was in high spirits.

Most importantly, there seemed to be a sword qi lingering around An Le’s body. It was straight, sharp, and dignified. Coupled with his white clothes, he was like a cluster of bright flames that illuminated the night. Wherever he passed, demons and monsters dissipated.

“Looks like… he must have grasped the righteous sword qi.”

The old man could not help but laugh, revealing a heartfelt expression.

The righteousness fused with Green Mountain, and the sword qi was righteous.

Mastering a high-quality sword qi was definitely extraordinary for cultivation and the increase in combat strength.

The current An Le only needed one sword to defeat Wang Qinhe.

If it was just righteousness, it would definitely not have such an effect. It would not increase his cultivation greatly.

Green Mountain drank righteousness and gave An Le a huge opportunity.

It was difficult to explain the fate between heaven and earth. It was just so magical.

An Le opened his eyes and saw the old man and Madam Hua. He knew that the two of them were worried that he had appeared just now, and his eyes could not help but flicker with gentleness.

He knocked with his finger.

Green Mountain and Ink Pool Sword jumped up and stabbed into the trunk of the old locust tree.

An Le pulled a chair over with a smile and sat around the courtyard to drink with Madam Hua and the old man from the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Although he had grasped the righteous sword qi, An Le understood that the long journey was only the beginning. After mastering this sword qi, he could nurture the sword qi with his temperament. If he did anything that went against his heart and righteousness, the righteous sword qi would naturally be covered in dust. His cultivation would plummet and it would be difficult for him to improve anymore.bender

The purity of the sword qi and the purity of the righteousness required his protection.

This was the essence and price of the righteous sword qi.

Lin’an Prefecture, Drunken Dragon Pavilion.

Riches, arrogance, and extravagance were abundant. It stirred up the mood to visit a brothel even more.

A group of Provincial Scholars who had just finished the Spring Quarter Examination were drinking freely here. They held a banquet to sit on flowers and drink wine.

The atmosphere was so lively that it was like a celebratory banquet held in advance.

Xu Shun pulled Liu Yue to sit upright in the banquet hall. His face was red and he reeked of alcohol. His eyes were filled with righteousness as if he had already become the top scholar of List B and was recognized by His Majesty. He could become a high official in the court.

There was a heroic qi in his drunk eyes.

“I, Liu Yue, will definitely be able to reach the top of List B and become an official in the court. I will fight for the people and earn a title for myself!” Liu Yue waved his hand and said heroically.

“Alright!” Xu Shun raised his glass and drank. He looked up. “Brother Liu, in the future, you and I will definitely support each other in the court and share His Majesty’s worries!”

Many scholars around looked at the two of them. On the surface, they were flattering them, but they were unhappy in their hearts. After all, the Spring Quarter Examination had yet to be released. These two people were actually so confident that they could enter the court and become officials. How were they so confident in the answer?

Before the rankings were released, everything was still unknown!

Liu Yue was talented to begin with, so he had some confidence. However, who was that Xu Shun? Was he worthy of being so arrogant?

The Provincial Scholars drank wine one after another, each feeling displeased.

In the corner, a group of Confucian scholars from the Literary Music Ranking who had just been defeated by An Le in the Heart Questioning Forest were drowning their sorrows in alcohol.

Many Confucian scholars on the Literary Music Ranking had not even stepped into the top ten of the Heart Questioning Forest. They had simply disgraced the Literary Department.

At this moment, seeing these two Provincial Scholars without any cultivation talking nonsense, he was instantly frustrated and extremely annoyed.

Suddenly, Xu Shun pulled Liu Yue and said excitedly, “Brother Liu, you’re on good terms with Master An. With Master An’s prestigious reputation in Lin’an Prefecture, you have to grasp it well. Our future will definitely soar. At least we’ll have some help in the temple.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Yue, who was still a little drunk, suddenly sobered up. He shook off Xu Shun’s hand and said sternly, “Don’t spout nonsense!”

Xu Shun smiled and did not say anything else. He turned around and drank and toasted with the others.

However, his words had already attracted the attention of the Confucian scholars on the Literary Monument who were drowning their sorrows with alcohol. A few cold gazes swept over and landed on Liu Yue.

Liu Yue felt a chill run down his spine. Coincidentally, the alcohol’s drunkenness was surging, so he did not stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Xu Shun, he left the Drunken Dragon Pavilion and returned to the inn. He fell asleep.

He was in a daze and the headache from drinking too much had yet to subside.

Liu Yue only heard a commotion and rustling in his ears.

With a loud bang, the door of the inn was kicked open.

Liu Yue was still in a daze when he saw constables and officials in uniforms enter one after another.

Without any explanation, they grabbed Liu Yue from the bed with a cold expression and shackled him..
