Moreover, if others knew that he had the enlightenment token, Lu Yuan felt that he was asking for trouble, even if Xu Wan’er appeared. Rather, with Lu Yuan’s rich experience, he felt that it would be fine if Xu Wan’er did not appear. Once she did, things would only become more complicated.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yuan still rejected Xu Wan’er’s good intentions.

“It’s okay, Wan’er. I have my plans. Besides, you know my personality. It might not be a good thing to give me this enlightenment token.”

Xu Wan’er paused. She thought of Lu Yuan’s steady personality and the trouble he might encounter after obtaining the enlightenment token.

In the end, she no longer insisted on it and nodded, “Alright then, Young Master. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me at any time.”

After the two of them talked for a while, Xu Wan’er turned around and went into the Spirit Sword Sect.

As the current Heaven Sword Inheritor, Xu Wan’er had many things to deal with.

Moreover, her performance in the thousand-year battle was not bad.

Although the sect had lost the thousand-year battle, Xu Wan’er didn’t. She even displayed her talent very well.

As such, Xu Wan’er was now famous in the Spirit Sword Sect.

Many knew that this beautiful and talented Heaven Sword Inheritor was destined to become a candidate for the female Sword Celestial.

After Xu Wan’er left, Lu Yuan walked out of his small courtyard and went to the street outside.

Currently, he was in Dikui City of the 72 Disha cities.

The 72 Disha cities were where the ordinary disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect lived.

Only after becoming a Heaven Sword Inheritor could one enter the 36 Big Dipper cities and officially become part of the Spirit Sword Sect’s core.

It was also after knowing this that Lu Yuan understood the terror of the Spirit Sword Sect’s foundation.

Originally, he thought that the thousand-year battle was already an important confrontation for the Spirit Sword Sect. But now, it seemed that even though the chaos spiritual mine was important, it was not as important as he had imagined.

At least Lu Yuan knew that Spirit Sword Sect had hundreds of chaos spiritual mines, and this figure did not include those that the outsiders didn’t know about.

Thus, the previous thousand-year battle was more like a competition held with a random reason.

It was one of the methods used by the Spirit Sword Sect and the Stellar Moon Cave to train disciples.

This could also explain why the factions didn’t care much about the final result.

If both sides were really determined to obtain the chaos spiritual mine, then they would not simply arrange for their disciples to fight.

Instead, it would rise to the level of a sect battle.

However, these were not important to him now.

Compared to standing out in the Spirit Sword Sect and competing with others for the so-called genius title, Lu Yuan would rather no one pay attention to him and let him cultivate properly.

In the current Dikui City, in addition to the outer sect disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, there were also many in-name disciples.

They were the people staying in Dikui City, and naturally, they wanted to enter the Spirit Sword Sect.

The way they entered the Spirit Sword Sect was also very simple, which was to comprehend the Dikui sword intent of Dikui City.

That’s right. If one wanted to comprehend sword intent, it wasn’t a necessity to enter Myriad Sword Mountain.

In the 36 Tiangang cities and 72 Disha cities, there were ways to directly comprehend sword intents.

For example, in Dikui City where Lu Yuan was now in, there were rubbing stones with the Dikui sword intent.

Although the sword intent on the rubbing stones was not as rich as the sword intent on the Dikui sword stele in Myriad Sword Mountain, only one-tenth, it was still not bad for cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage.

Generally speaking, as long as one could comprehend a thing or two from the rubbing stones of Dikui City and comprehend a sword technique that contained Dikui sword intent, one could then enter the Spirit Sword Sect.

This was the standard of the Spirit Sword Sect’s disciple selection.

As for those who could enter the Big Dipper cities, either their ancestors were higher-ups of the Spirit Sword Sect and they thus enjoyed the convenience brought by their ancestors, or they were talented like Xu Wan’er and had comprehended heavens sword intents.

The biggest difference between the Big Dipper cities and the Disha cities was naturally the rubbing stones.

Moreover, the people of the Disha cities could not enter the Big Dipper cities at will, but the people of the latter could enter the former anytime they wanted.

Just concerning this point, the starting point of both sides was completely different.

Putting that aside, the people of the Disha cities were confined to staying in one city. As long as one had enough spiritual stones, one could go anywhere one wanted to in the 72 Disha cities.

Even comprehending the Disha rubbing stones required spiritual stones as an entrance fee.

Ten high-grade spiritual stones could only allow one to comprehend it for two hours.

It could be said that while the Spirit Sword Sect was selecting disciples, it had also opened up a huge learning market.

The fact that knowledge was priceless was understandable to Lu Yuan.

With the size of the 72 Disha cities and the fact that hundreds of people could be fit into one session of comprehension at a time, the Spirit Sword Sect could harvest tens of thousands of spiritual stones every day just from the entrance tickets.

This business was much more efficient than his previous bitter selling of spiritual energy mobile phones.

It had to be said that no matter which world it was, monopolization was the most profitable.

Sighing was one thing, but Lu Yuan didn’t dislike such rules.

After all, he lacked everything except spiritual stones. Any problem that could be solved with spiritual stones was not a problem for him.

If not for the fact that he couldn’t guarantee that he would be able to keep his spiritual energy mobile phone business at this stage, he would have prepared to expand his mobile phone market to this place.

Lu Yuan felt that after his cultivation reached the Apotheosis Stage, he would have the opportunity to open up the mobile phone market in the Spirit Sword Sect.

During this period, it was best for him to focus on cultivation.

After all, spiritual stones were just worldly possessions. Only cultivation was his.

With this thought in mind, Lu Yuan went straight to the depths of Dikui City.

Dikui City, Sword Comprehension Pavilion.

“Ten high-grade spiritual stones for two hours. Is there a problem?”

“No.”

“Alright, then pay up.”

Lu Yuan opened his storage bag and threw a supreme-grade spiritual stone to the other party.

Seeing how generous Lu Yuan was, the expression of the disciple who received him changed slightly for a moment. Then, he gave Lu Yuan a token.

There was a time recorded on the token.

[Dikui-Lu Yuan: 200 hours]

200 hours seemed like a lot of time, but in reality, it was only about 10 days.

For cultivators whose lifespans were measured in hundreds or thousands of years, ten days was no different from the snap of a finger.

To ordinary cultivators, never mind comprehending sword intent from the rubbing stones in ten days, but they might not even be able to gain anything in a year.

When Lu Yuan entered the Sword Comprehension Pavilion, he quickly arrived at the room he had been assigned.

Three sides of the room were sealed, and one side was open. The opening faced a huge stone stele.

It was the rubbing stele of the Dikui sword intent.

Lu Yuan observed the surroundings and discovered that there were very good shielding arrays around.

Ordinary people had no way of observing the situation of others.

This was also a form of privacy protection that Sword Comprehension Pavilion provided.

After confirming that he would not be affected, Lu Yuan sat down cross-legged.

He stared at the sword intent stele in front of him and his eyes gradually became profound as his aura became mysterious.

In a place that no one else could see, the originally calm stone tablet seemed to have undergone a slight change.

At the bottom of the stone stele, cracks began to appear.

As the crack was very subtle, no one noticed it at all.

However, after the crack appeared, it began to expand and did not seem to be stopping any time soon.

At this rate, in less than half a year, cracks would spread all over the stone stele.

Lu Yuan did not pay attention to this as he had already entered a mysterious state.

There was no longer the sword intent stone stele in his eyes. Instead, it was replaced by a boundless starry sky and a huge sword shadow..
