Chapter 3238: The First Emperor's Son
"Okay! Just 5 billion cubic meters of Chaos Essence Fluid!" Tianyun Palace Master slammed the table and said proudly, "This cost will be shared by the Taoist gods and Taoist masters who want to observe the mysteries of my nephew's swordsmanship!"
"Thank you very much, Lord Mansion Master." Lu Yun bowed and said with joy in his heart.
Afterwards, Lu Yun informed Emperor Jinghuang and others about this matter.
"What? The Lord wants to teach the Dao to Wanxiang Palace?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Jinghuang and others were all shocked.
"Yes," Lu Yun said with a smile, "It's a good opportunity for you to learn from it."
"Palace Master, do we want to study together?" Prince Jinghuang asked expectantly. Several other princes also nodded, their eyes full of desire.
Lu Yun thought for a moment and said, "You have worked hard during this period. Rest well and recover your strength first."
"But..." Emperor Jinghuang wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lu Yun.
"Okay, it's settled." Lu Yun turned to look at the Lord of Tianyun Mansion, "Lord Lord, I will take my disciples to rest first. You go and gather the Taoist gods and masters of your mansion and prepare the resources."
"Don't worry, nephew. I will do it right away." The Lord of Tianyun Palace said with a smile, his heart full of expectations for Lu Yun's unified swordsmanship.
After the Lord of Tianyun Palace left, everyone in the Sword Palace found a place to rest. Although the Emperor Jinghuang and others were not able to learn the Great Unified Sword Dao immediately, they were full of expectations.
They had witnessed the power of the Great Unified Sword Art with their own eyes, and naturally understood the value of this sword art.
Five billion cubic meters of Chaos Essence Liquid sounds scary, but it really makes the Tianyun Palace Master very anxious. He paid 3 billion of his own money, and the remaining 2 billion was shared by all the Taoist gods and Taoist masters.
I thought that with the reputation of the Great Unified Kendo, these guys would rush to pay for it, but some people thought it was too expensive!
"Master Palace Lord, isn't 5 billion a bit too much? We are not practicing swordsmanship, so how much use can the unified swordsmanship be to us?" A Taoist god had a sad face, as if the Lord of Tianyun Palace was putting a knife to his neck to collect the debt.
"That's right, Palace Master. This kid Lu Yun hasn't even fully grown his hair yet, but he's quite arrogant. Is his unified sword art really that magical?" Another Taoist master also echoed.
The Lord of Tianyun Palace resisted the urge to beat the two guys to death, and patiently explained: "Everyone, you have all seen the Dao Gods of the Sword Palace. The speed of their progress is simply incredible! Even if this unified sword art is of little help to us, even if we only comprehend a little bit of it, it will be enough for us to benefit from for the rest of our lives!"
These words finally wavered some Taoist gods and leaders, but some people were still reluctant to pay.
In the end, the Lord of Tianyun Palace had to step in personally and use both soft and hard tactics, coercion and inducement, and even offered his position as the Lord of the Palace as a guarantee, and only then was he able to gather the remaining 2 billion.
After nearly a month of hard work, the 5 billion cubic meters of Chaos Essence Liquid finally arrived.
Lu Yun looked at the mountains of resources and felt secretly happy: This Lord of Tianyun Palace is really a sucker!
After this period of rest, Emperor Jinghuang and others have recovered their strength. They are full of energy and eager to learn the unified sword art.
The Taoist gods and masters of Wanxiang Mansion also arrived one after another, each with a different expression: some were expectant, some were skeptical, some were disdainful, and some were just there to watch the fun.
Lu Yun didn't waste any time and started practicing the Great Unified Sword Art directly.
His body was as fast as lightning, and his sword shone like a rainbow, sometimes gentle as water, sometimes violent as thunder, showing the exquisiteness of the Great Unified Sword Art to the fullest.
Three days passed in a flash, and Lu Yun's sermon came to an end.
More than 90% of the people in Wanxiang Mansion benefited greatly. They all marveled at the mystery of the Great Unified Sword Art and felt that the 5 billion was well spent!
Of course, there were also some people who, because they were not strong in their own cultivation of the Way of Heaven, had limited understanding of the Great Unified Sword Dao and did not gain much, they could not help but have some complaints in their hearts. However, they were intimidated by the majesty of the Lord of Tianyun Palace and did not dare to say much.
This sermon completely changed the attitude of everyone in Wanxiang Mansion towards Lu Yun.
Before, they were mostly hostile and contemptuous of Lu Yun, but now, they were grateful and awed by him. Some even considered switching to swordsmanship and joining the Sword House.
However, how easy is it to switch to swordsmanship? Not to mention whether one's own heavenly way is compatible, just giving up years of hard training and starting over is enough to daunt most people.
In the end, only a few Taoist gods who were extremely talented and obsessed with swordsmanship made up their minds and prepared to give it a try.
"Master, thank you for your hospitality. We will take our leave now." After the sermon, Lu Yun and everyone from the Sword Mansion said goodbye to Master Tianyun.
The Tianyun Mansion Master smiled and tried to persuade him to stay: "Why are you so anxious, nephew? Why don't you stay for a few more days, so that I can show my hospitality as a host."
Lu Yun bowed and said, "I appreciate your kindness, Lord. But we have important matters to attend to, so we can't stay for long."
Seeing that Lu Yun was determined to leave, the Lord of Tianyun Palace no longer forced him and personally escorted them out of the palace.
After leaving Wanxiang Mansion, Lu Yun led everyone from Jian Mansion and headed straight to Shengmie Mansion, which was adjacent to Wanxiang Mansion.
The Palace of Life and Death, as the name suggests, practices the way of life and death. The number of disciples in the palace is relatively small among the twelve palaces.
Lu Yun's "deeds" in the Sword Palace and the Wanxiang Palace had long been spread throughout the twelve palaces. The Shengmie Palace had naturally anticipated that Lu Yun would challenge them sooner or later.
Therefore, when they learned that Lu Yun was heading towards the Shengmie Palace, the six princes of the Shengmie Palace and the top Taoist gods in the palace immediately held an emergency meeting.
"Everyone, I'm sure you've all heard that Lu Yun is heading towards our Shengmie Mansion."
Tong Pengyi, the first son of the Shengmie Palace, looked at everyone with a serious expression, "This person has only been in the Sword Palace for a short time, but his strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Now he has probably reached the level of a four-star Dao master! In my opinion, this has something to do with the unified sword art he practiced and the huge amount of resources he got from the Tianyun Palace Master!"
"Tong Pengyi, you are the first son of the emperor. Tell me, how should we deal with this?" A Taoist god with a burly figure and a face full of flesh asked in a muffled voice.
Tong Pengyi smiled bitterly and said, "What else can we do? You have all seen what happened to Shen Wanjun. He is now a four-star Taoist master, and his sword art is superb. What can we use to fight him? If we resist stubbornly, we will only bring shame upon ourselves."
"Are we just going to give in like this? Hand over the Tower of Life and Death to him?" Another prince, a young man with a sinister face, said unwillingly.
"What else?" Tong Pengyi asked, "Do you want to follow in Shen Wanjun's footsteps? Or do you want the entire Shengmie Mansion to become the next Wanxiang Mansion and be blackmailed for 5 billion?"
