Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

A male disciple took off his outer robe and shoes, leaving only his inner garments.

He stood outside the pool, taking a deep breath.

It was clear that even the disciples of the Ziyang Temple were quite nervous.

The young man slowly walked into the dark pool.

The dark pool seemed to be alive, wrapping around him from below.

After three breaths, the young man's eyes were clear, and without any distracting thoughts, he leaped onto the altar.

The people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Purple Cloud Pavilion turned to look at Li Guanqi, their eyes occasionally flashing with killing intent.

Li Guanqi simply turned his head slowly to meet their gaze, and the two groups actually turned their heads away.

Li Guanqi softly uttered two words.

"Trash."

The leading disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect immediately felt a surge of anger, staring at Li Guanqi and sneering, "Hmph! You only killed a disciple of the Ziyang Temple, what's there to be so arrogant about!"

"This time in the Spirit Ruins test, let's see what you'll do when you have nothing!"

Li Guanqi suddenly walked out of the crowd, taking a step towards the direction of the two major sects.

This step frightened everyone, and they quickly retreated a few steps.

Li Guanqi smiled slightly, looking at the disciple and whispering, "What is your spiritual root?"

The man said in a deep voice, "Hmph! Wood-type Heavenly Spiritual Root!"

Li Guanqi chuckled and clicked his tongue, whispering, "Hmm… pretty impressive."

The man immediately felt emboldened upon hearing Li Guanqi's words, and he sneered, "What? Is your spiritual root not good enough?"

Li Guanqi's expression turned strange, and he said with utmost seriousness, "Are you stupid…"

"No way, no way?"

"You guys don't know that I have a Saint-grade spiritual root? And it's lightning-based?"

"Tsk tsk, your Ten Thousand Swords Sect is really out of touch. Are you still using carrier pigeons?"

"Do you have to shout across the mountains to talk to people?"

After speaking, Li Guanqi ignored his shit-eating grin and muttered to Ye Feng, "In the future, stay away from people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Purple Cloud Pavilion."

Ye Feng also said with a serious face, "That's right, their strength is lacking, and their brains aren't very useful either."

Listening to the two of them singing in harmony, the chest of the disciple from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect rose and fell sharply.

The finger pointing at Li Guanqi was trembling slightly.

In the end, he only left one sentence: "I'll see if you can awaken the Spirit Ruins!!"

Soon, a terrifying change occurred in the disciple on the altar!!

The disciple seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, his breathing long and steady.

A black spot suddenly appeared between his eyebrows!!

And that black spot was expanding at a visible rate, as if a fist-sized hole had been opened between the disciple's eyebrows!

This scene chilled everyone's hearts, but the young man's aura did not change at all, as if he didn't know any of this was happening.

However, everyone could only see that the black hole was empty, and then it slowly closed.

There was no trace on the young man's brow, and after a while, he opened his eyes.

His eyes were full of confusion, and he didn't know what had just happened.

The young man walked down the altar with some disappointment, followed by the second and third.

A full dozen people were tested, and all of them were in the same situation as the young man.

Moreover, Li Guanqi discovered that these disciples of the Ziyang Temple seemed to be slightly younger than him.

It seemed that the talents of these disciples were definitely not bad, but they did not find a weapon spirit in the Spirit Ruins.

Li Guanqi then noticed that the fat man who had opened the betting pool earlier was actually in the crowd.

Tang Ruo obviously noticed Li Guanqi's gaze and nodded to him very politely.

Li Guanqi also returned the greeting slightly. He didn't have much disgust for this fat man who was going back to raise money for them.

"There is!! There is, there is!!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that there was something in the black hole between the eyebrows of the tall young man.

But Song Ruo sighed slightly, finding that the item in the Spirit Ruins was just a tattered stone.

It couldn't even be considered a tool, which was inevitably disappointing.

The last one in the Ziyang Temple was the fat man.

After taking off his outer robe, Tang Ruo's huge belly was even slightly unable to cover his inner garments.

He covered his belly with his hands somewhat uneasily, and Tang Ruo's ears were red, appearing somewhat embarrassed.

After the dust cleansing, jumping onto the altar seemed even more crowded.

Ye Feng joked, "Fatty Bro is quite wealthy ~"

Tang Ruo glared at him and scolded, "Screw you, I call this being blessed."

Then the barrier closed, Tang Ruo took a few deep breaths, and finally closed his eyes, his mind quickly calming down.

At this time, Li Guanqi realized that this fat man's talent was not weak.

Buzz!!!

Soon, Fatty's Spirit Ruins opened slightly. His Spirit Ruins, which was only the size of a fist for others, was still expanding!!

The old man from Ziyang Temple clenched his hands, staring at the Spirit Ruins.

Li Nanting explained in a low voice, "Only Spirit Ruins with weapon spirits will become larger."

"It seems that this kid should have a Spirit Ruins weapon spirit."

Buzz!!!

The Spirit Ruins, which was still expanding slowly, suddenly grew to the length of an arm in the light of the nine stone pillars!

A rectangular object slowly appeared in front of everyone!

Everyone held their breath and looked at the thing through the hazy barrier.

Through his Mind's Eye, Li Guanqi discovered that it was actually a golden abacus!!

There were some patterns flashing with faint light on the abacus, and the beads of the abacus were even more distinct.

Clatter clatter!!

The abacus beads made a crisp sound when they were moved.

Six of the nine stone pillars on the altar actually burst out with dazzling white fluorescence.

Then the dark space of the Spirit Ruins disappeared, and the abacus stayed outside, then drilled into Tang Ruo's eyebrows!

Everyone held their breath and dared not make a sound to disturb him.

When Tang Ruo opened his eyes, many people saw the gleam in his eyes.

The slight bloodshot and turbidity in his eyes also disappeared.

Song Ruo laughed loudly and said aloud, "Good, good, good!! Sixth-grade Spirit Ruins weapon spirit!!"

Fatty also felt something in his heart, and after putting on his robe, he muttered.

"Yesterday's recording crystal was a loss… If I had made some blurry ones and sold them at a low price, wouldn't I have earned more!"

"Oh… why didn't I think of it yesterday!"

Li Guanqi couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he heard his murmur. It seemed that this guy was a good material for doing business in the future.

This is when the old man said softly, "Let's start with the Great Xia Sword Sect."

And all the disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect were staring at Li Guanqi.

Li Nanting said with a smile, "Then you go."

Li Guanqi nodded, then took off his outer robe, but still did not put down the sword box behind him.

The dark pool water covered his whole body, but he did not dare to approach the sword box at all.

After a moment, Li Guanqi slowly opened his eyes and leaped onto the altar.
