Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 150 – Ye Qingyu: I have a sword, I’d like to learn from you

Meng Fan, this name had been mentioned several times by Liu Yanping.

Every time she brought it up, it left a deep impression on Ye Qingyu.

In fact, she thought Liu Yanping was exaggerating, turning Meng Fan into some kind of myth.

Because every time Liu Yanping spoke of him, it sounded incredibly fantastical!

Regardless of whether Liu Yanping's words were true or false, Ye Qingyu's curiosity about Meng Fan was piqued.

So, when she saw Meng Fan at this moment, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Her first impression, and the most obvious one, could be summed up in two words.

Handsome!

Meng Fan's face could be considered the biggest perk he received after his time travel, aside from the [Sword Dao Transcendence].

But Ye Qingyu wasn't interested in Meng Fan's face.

She wasn't a looks-obsessed person and had always had a poor impression of pretty boys!

In her eyes, handsome men often seemed like they were all show and no substance.

If Meng Fan knew what she was thinking, he would definitely find an opportunity to teach her a lesson on how to judge a man!

"Senior Sister Ye, I've heard so much about you. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Meng Fan extended his hand to Liu Yanping, intending to shake hands.

But Ye Qingyu just glanced coldly at Meng Fan's hand and didn't extend hers.

This gesture of Meng Fan's further lowered his score in Ye Qingyu's eyes.

She thought he was a lecher!

Meng Fan could only awkwardly retract his hand. This Senior Sister Ye was indeed as Liu Yanping had described—difficult to get along with.

The key point was, she seemed to lack basic manners.

For someone so hard to deal with, Meng Fan felt that his idea of asking her to help refine some pills was probably not going to work out.

"Do you need something from me?" Ye Qingyu looked at Liu Yanping and asked.

She completely ignored Meng Fan, which was indeed very rude.

Liu Yanping also noticed Ye Qingyu's coldness towards Meng Fan and felt a bit embarrassed.

To ease the awkwardness, she quickly said, "Senior Sister Ye, Senior Brother Meng Fan wants to buy some Xuan-grade body refining pills, but the Alchemy Hall doesn't sell them. So he was wondering if you could help refine some Xuan-grade pills?"

Ye Qingyu looked at Meng Fan in surprise. The fact that he wanted to buy Xuan-grade body refining pills indicated that he had some achievements in body refining. Otherwise, Yellow-grade pills would have sufficed.

It seemed he wasn't just an ordinary pretty boy!

In a place like the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, achieving success in body refining was no easy feat.

If Meng Fan knew what this woman was thinking, he would be furious.

It turned out that in some people's eyes, being handsome was indeed a mistake!

He had thought such statements were just jokes.

"Xuan-grade body refining pills? Don't bother asking me or even your grandfather. The Alchemy Hall doesn't have such a pill recipe, so it's simply impossible to refine them!" Ye Qingyu said coldly.

Liu Yanping felt a bit helpless upon hearing this.

She had thought this was a small matter that didn't need to trouble her grandfather. Now it seemed even troubling her grandfather wouldn't help.

Meng Fan then said proactively, "Since that's the case, I was being presumptuous. I won't bother you any further, Senior Sister Ye."

He prepared to leave.

To be honest, he didn't have the habit of sticking around where he wasn't welcome.

Although he came to ask for help, the pills weren't a big deal, something he could do without.

So, since the other party was so unwelcoming, he naturally didn't want to stay any longer.

But just as he was about to leave, Ye Qingyu spoke up again.

"Although I can't refine Xuan-grade body refining pills, it so happens that I obtained a recipe for Earth-grade body refining pills a few years ago."

She paused and continued to look at Meng Fan, "In the entire Shu Mountain Sword Sect, I'm probably the only one with such a recipe. So, you did come to the right person!"

Hearing Ye Qingyu's words, Meng Fan immediately dismissed the idea of leaving.

Xuan-grade body refining pills were indeed optional for him, useful if he had them, but not essential.

But Earth-grade body refining pills...

These were not optional; they were "rare treasures" for Meng Fan.

Forget about sticking around; it would be worth it even if he had to grovel!

"If Senior Sister Ye is willing to help refine them, I'm willing to pay a high price," Meng Fan quickly said.

He wasn't being foolish by offering more money.

But such things were simply not for sale, rare and valuable.

Ye Qingyu looked at Meng Fan, still cold.

But her tone softened a bit, not as cold as before.

"I heard from Junior Sister Liu that your talent in Sword Dao is exceptional, and your swordsmanship is astonishing. I have a condition: if you can fulfill it, I can refine the Vajra Pill for you and only charge you for the cost of the materials!"

Meng Fan's eyes lit up. Such a good deal?

The Vajra Pill was clearly the Earth-grade body refining pill Ye Qingyu had mentioned.

However, there was no such thing as a free lunch.

The condition Ye Qingyu was going to propose was certainly not an easy one.

Meng Fan was mistaken about this.

Because, in Ye Qingyu's view, it was indeed not an easy task.

But for Meng Fan, it was really easy!

"What is it?" Meng Fan asked Ye Qingyu.

"Junior Sister Liu said your swordsmanship is astonishing, and you easily guided her to the level of Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Intent. I also have a sword technique and would like to ask for your guidance to see if you can help me reach the level of sword intent!" Ye Qingyu said.

Sword technique? Sword intent?

Hearing this, Meng Fan couldn't help but smile.

Wasn't this right up his alley?

However, as a cultivator at the ninth level of Heavenly Origin, Senior Sister Ye should have already mastered a sword intent.

Unless she had just started learning a new sword technique.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

"Senior Sister Ye, mastering the sword intent of a sword technique is not difficult for me. Guiding you to master a sword intent shouldn't be too much of a problem either," Meng Fan said confidently.

Meng Fan had learned at least eighty percent of the sword techniques of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect!

Including top-tier techniques like the Myriad Swords Art and Heavenly Sword.

Now, in the entire Shu Mountain, the only technique that Meng Fan desired but hadn't mastered was the Sword God.

"You talk big! In that case, I'll demonstrate this sword technique first and see how knowledgeable you are." Ye Qingyu said, taking a long sword from the wall.

Undoubtedly, it was a spiritual sword!

Given Ye Qingyu's status and position, Meng Fan would be surprised if she used an ordinary sword.

"Clang—" The long sword was unsheathed.

Ye Qingyu's movements were graceful, like a startled swan, as she began to practice a sword technique.

Meng Fan recognized the technique with just one glance, one move.

The Great Annihilation Sword Technique.

Moments later, Ye Qingyu finished the entire set of sword techniques.

Not only Meng Fan, but even Liu Yanping recognized that Ye Qingyu was using the Great Annihilation Sword Technique.

Because during the Shu Mountain Swordsmanship Competition, a Shu Mountain disciple named He Ying had been extremely impressive, and he had used the Great Annihilation Sword Technique at that time.
