[Sword Dynasty]

[Previous Episode]

If you don't think there are things more important than life and death,

15

Why did you come to me back then?

16

And why secretly oppose the Emperor?

17

You mean the person who came to the store today is Prince Li Ling?

18

Yes.

19

I specially came today to propose to Miss Zhangsun for marriage.

20

[Episode 3]

21

This is a log of wine brewing recipes.

22

This is rose.

23

That is osmanthus.

24

Are you nervous?

25

It's because

26

I actually don't know how to brew wine.

27

There are a dozen or so steps in brewing wine.

28

I can never remember despite my nephew always reminding me.

29

That's why I'm using this method.

30

[Bai Gongfeng, Bureau of Investigations]

31

You can go back.

32

Yes.

33

I want to chat on some private matter with the Chief.

34

[Marquis Fang, head of the 11 Marquis.]

35

Murong Cheng.

36

He is a little stupid,

37

but he is still young.

38

His potential to cultivate and the speed to break through realms are acceptable.

39

I thought I could teach him well.

40

But I didn't expect that, even before I could teach him,

41

he was cut down by your sword.

42

How is Murong Cheng related to you?

43

Why do you pretend to be muddle-headed?

44

You knew that he was about to marry into my manor

45

and killed him off.

46

If you don't give me a proper explanation today,

47

in the future,

48

who will respect the Marquis Fang Manor?

49

I counter one sword strike from you,

50

wouldn't it consider paying respect to you?

51

No wonder you are the only female Chief Investigator in Great Heng.

52

Bold.

53

I'm beginning to like your personality.

54

Why waste time talking. Come.

55

Come on.

56

One sky meets water. Your cultivation has reached the seventh realm, Mountain Moving Realm.

57

Very interesting.

58

She was quite strong.

59

You countered my sword strike. There'll be some pain.

60

But, you'll be safe for now.

61

Pain, pain, pain.

62

You are Ding Ning?

63

Master, have we met?

64

He indeed has the body of Irreversible Fiery Yang.

65

Master, are you all right?

66

Come on out.

67

You shouldn't follow her.

68

She came to the tavern first to test me.

69

Did she find anything?

70

I hid my cultivation using the method you taught me.

71

She shouldn't have realized anything.

72

She tested me too.

73

From now on, she shouldn't suspect us.

74

Countless people in Fengming City want me to die.

75

I must look strong in front of people.

76

Only by being strong will I be able to survive.

77

[Chen Xuan, Chief Overseer]

78

I reminded you early on.

79

Once you touch Murong Cheng, Marquis Fang won't easily let you go.

80

Don't you want to know if Sung Shenshu died from Divine skills of the Nine-Death Silkworm.

81

I can tell you.

82

Yes.

83

Sung Shenshu died of Nine-Death Silkworm?

84

Marquis Dugu died from Sharpening Stone Swordplay.

85

All of these must be related to that person.

86

Unless... he really has descendants?

87

This is medicine to treat wounds.

88

Chen Xuan, the one in the Great Floating Water Prison,

89

who exactly is he?

90

Qianxue, you should like these flowers.

91

I've never told you that I like osmanthus flowers.

92

Maybe I smelled the frargrant osmanthus flower when I was teaching the swordplay.

93

This was the first time I smelled the fragrant flower on you. Do you like it?

94

I like it.

95

Someone sent you flowers again?

96

Maybe it's Prince Li Ling who is pursuing you?

97

Why are you so upset?

98

You don't think they are from Teacher, do you?

99

Don't you hate Teacher?

100

It is unrelated to hatred.

101

It's because he is the only one who knows

102

that I love the osmanthus flower the most.

103

My next chess piece should be coming.

104

[Wang Taixu, Owner of Two-Storied Building]

105

Anyone here?

106

We're closed. Come early tomorrow morning.

107

I'm not here to drink wine.

108

You're looking for my Little Aunt? Come early in the morning.

109

I'm looking for you.

110

For me?

111

Why are you looking for me?

112

Who are you?

113

Recently, a yellow-robed bookkeeping master came to this alley

114

to collect rent from you. You didn't pay.

115

He said he'd return in a few days, but he hasn't come.

116

No. Are you with Two-Storied Building or Jinlin Tang?

117

Two-Storied Building.

118

To be more precise, anything to do with Two-Storied Building is under my command.

119

The owner of Two-stored Building looks so weak.

120

I am Wang Taixu.

121

I may have fought too hard in territorial fights with Jinlin Tang.

122

My body is a little weakened.

123

You dared to offend someone as high in status as Prince Li Ling?

124

I've been in Fengming CIty for a long time.

125

But I've never met anyone like you,

126

who can see clearly and do thing clearly.

127

I need a strategist like you.

128

Another way to say it, I need a partner like you.

129

But I also want to hear about the conflict between us and Jinlin Tang,

130

in your opinion.

131

Actually, your situation now

132

is about the same as Prince Li Ling.

133

Next, if you can establish your standing,

134

swallow up Jinlin Tang in one bite,

135

then your stature in Fengming City will go up a tier.

136

However, the key point right now

137

is that it also contains many dangers and risks.

138

Two-Storied Building is now like

139

a boat that is full of holes during a rainstorm.

140

Why do you think

141

that I will get on your leaky boat?

142

What benefits do you want?

143

If I have it, I will agree to anything.

144

Agree to anything?

145

Does that include entering your sect to cultivate?

146

You want to be a cultivator?

147

I want to enter Minshan Sword Sect.

148

Did you know that the entire Minshan Sword Sect

149

doesn't accept more than several dozens of students in a year?

150

In Greater Heng, even in

151

the faraway neighboring nations,

152

how many young men like you are there

153

who have reached the suitable age?

154

I cannot directly get you into Minshan Sword Sect.

155

But I can't first get you into

156

those who are qualified to apply for Minshan Sword Sect.

157

As long as you can pass the tournament,

158

you can become a disciple at Minshan Sword Sect.

159

But why do you insist on entering Minshan Sword Sect?

160

Someone told me that I can't live beyond 30 years of age.

161

I have a body of Irreversible Fiery Yang.

162

My organs are too active and will lead to early weakness.

163

Therefore, Minshan Sword Sect

164

has cultivation methods that can help you live longer?

165

I think, you can help me,

166

and I can help you too.

167

How do you want me to help you?

168

Two-Storied Building is so passive now

169

because Marquis Dugu, our sponsor, has been assassinated.

170

I think Jinlin Hall is aiming at this weakness

171

to take action on us.

172

Marquis Dugu was actually your sponsor?

173

- Let's go take a walk?

- Where to?

174

Since we're going to collaborate, why don't you tell me more about Two-Storied Building?

175

LIttle Aunt, I'm going out with a friend for a while.

176

Come back soon.

177

I think Jinlin Tang has been so bold

178

because we've lost our sponsor.

179

Wanting to take over Marquis Dugu's business

180

is probably more than simple conflicts between Jiangu sects.

181

Perhaps, there is someone else behind the scene.

182

Or, there is a new power coming from outside of Fengming City.

183

Continue.

184

In the entire Fengming City, the only person who isn't afraid His Majesty thinks is Li Xiang.

185

And he shouldn't want a small player like Two-storied Building.

186

If he really wants to do it,

187

perhaps your whole family would have been killed.

188

He would find someone who understands the rules to do it slowly.

189

As for the other elites in Fengming,

190

they all have to be mindful of His Majesty and Li Xiang.

191

So I speculate that it's a new power coming from outside of Fengming.

192

However, what I'm particularly curious about

193

is the fight that made you so weakened. What happened?

194

We killed 53 of their people.

195

Six of them were cultivators.

196

The oldest, Tang Que, happened to be away from Fengming.

197

So what will they do next?

198

Tang Que has convinced Thunder Rain Hall's Fatty Zhang.

199

They are coming over to negotiate with us tonight.

200

Not just the timing, but you have the advantage in location and people.

201

However you look at it,

202

they are asking you to be merciful and not kill everyone of them off.

203

Even though the situation looks more advantageous for you,

204

but there are hidden dangers.

205

They agree on all the conditions so that you will attend the banquet.

206

Besides, the sponsor behind Tang Que can't be so easily to admit defeat.

207

He will definitely let Jinlin Tang fight a battle.

208

You must come with me to tonight's banquet.

209

If I can live through this safely, I and Two-Storied Building will not forget you.

210

In a little while, Fatty Zhang will bring his people over.

211

Beside him is a fair-faced scholar.

212

It's his adopted son, Zhong Xiu.

213

Zhong Xiu is probably the highest-level cultivator in Thunder Rain Hall.

214

There is also a single-eyed man, Tang Mengcheng.

215

Among the most capable ones in Jinlin Tang,

216

Tang Que is the highest cultivator. He has reached the fifth realm.

217

That one is your hired fighter?

218

You've waited long.

219

Brother Wang, they did everything according to your orders.

220

They didn't bring anyone else here.

221

You are the host here tonight. How about you speak first?

222

Since this is a negotiation, my demand is very simple.

223

Jinlin Tang

224

will disappear from Fengming from now on.

225

Then we're done.

226

I don't understand where you obtained such confidence.

227

Acting and pretending to have strength,

228

bringing an unknown youngster,

229

and a fortuneteller from under the bridge.

230

This is more than sufficient.

231

White Goat Cave.

232

Biting off more than you can chew.

233

Insufficient skills.

234

Enough people died tonight.

235

You can leave.

236

Thank you, Master Li.

237

This person that you picked is pretty good.

238

You can let him enter the sect.

239

Is it all finished?

240

From this day on, you are a disciple of White Goat Cave.

241

Your Royal Highness,

242

the 11th Marquis's position has been vacant after the death of Marquis Dugu.

243

According to Great Heng's tradition, we should select someone from the military to shoulder this important role.

244

I've submitted a list of qualified candidates from the military.

245

Please decide, Your Royal Highness.

246

[Liang Lian]

247

General, do we need to enter the palace first?

248

No. I want to clean up

249

some people and things in Fengming.

250

Do you really have to do this?

251

I have to become a cultivator as soon as possible.

252

That day, you must have heard what Wang Taixu said to me.

253

You should understand it. To be able to enter White Goat Cave so easily

254

is an opportunity that I've waited for years but haven't gotten.

255

So I must not miss it.

256

You are too rash.

257

Our original plan was to not get into cultivation

258

before your body is fully restored.

259

Even if you are protected by Nine-Death Silkworm,

260

your Irreversible Fiery Yang body is still under danger when you leave twin cultivation.

261

You should know that you could lose your life if there is any mistake.

262

Rest assured. I'll be even more careful than before.

263

I won't lose my life so easily.

264

You insist on entering Minshan Sword Sect

265

so that you can obtain the Continuing Sky formula?

266

Yes.

267

Continuing Sky formula will not only keep me alive,

268

it can make me even stronger.

269

What should I do in the next step? Deal with Marquis Fang?

270

Don't worry for now. Your own life's sword has not been cultivated.

271

What you'll need to do next

272

is to patiently wait for me in bed.

273

We'll cultivate together.

274

Good morning, Owner of Two-Storied Building.

275

Good morning, Brother.

276

Thank you for keeping your promise.

277

In Jianghu, a promise is worth 1,000 pieces of gold.

278

I already followed your orders

279

and threw away those Jinlin Tang people's corpses into the river.

280

Is this enough action happening?

281

Can we really lure their sponsor?

282

But, after we've lured him out,

283

what is the next step?

284

Little Aunt, I'm leaving!

285

[Tablet for Sword Chief Liang Jingmeng]

296

Your disciple Ding Ning has started his moves.

297

From this moment on, we do not have a way to retreat.

298

But you don't need to feel grateful.

299

What I'm doing is definitely not for you.

300

What you've done to Gongsun family,

301

the destruction of Gonsun family, I do not forget at all times.

Who are you?

307

- Divine skills of the Nine-Death Silkworm has never been taught to outsiders.

308

You are... Young Mistress Gongsun?

309

You know me?

310

I am the only disciple for Teacher's Divine skills of the Nine-Death Silkworm.

311

He let you cultivate here?

312

Teacher's order is that if ever Bashan is in peril,

313

I must return this sword to a Gongsun family member.

314

That's how

315

everything happened.

316

You're saying the entire Jinlin Tang has been practically destroyed

317

because of a youngster from the tavern

318

and a cultivator from the White Goat Cave.

319

Yes.

320

Useless thing.

321

Not worth keeping.

322

It doesn't matter what methods you use,

323

find out where that youngster went.

324

Your Royal Highness, White Goat Cave would not give us the Spirit Vein.

325

Now it has interfered in Jinlin Tang's conflict.

[Palace Maid Rong]

326

People at home would like to know your opinion.

327

Any cultivated site is Great Heng's treasure.

328

The requirement is allegiance to Great Heng, and never becomes a stumbling block to the dynasty.

329

White Goat Cave has overreached.

330

It's time to make them pay.

331

Please give guidance to how to punish White Goat Cave.

332

Return to Blue Vine Sword Hall.

333

Only Fengming from now on, no more White Goat Cave.

334

Also, warn Liang Lian and Jinlin Tang.

335

In Fengming, it's not like battling enemy troops.

336

One must use more gentle ways.

337

The water runs deep in Fengming. Don't think that

338

they can easily run over anyone.

339

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

340

I'll see you off here.

341

Thank you.

342

You're too kind.

343

Why are so many people welcoming you today?

344

I don't think they are welcoming me into White Goat Cave.

345

Brother, I need to tell you something.

346

Holding back a momentary anger, you can save a hundred days of trouble.

347

- Farewell.

- Farewell.

348

When did outsiders can enter

349

White Goat Cave anytime as they wish?

350

- Eldest Disciple.

- Eldest Disciple.

351

[Jiang Li, White Goat Cave]

352

Everyone, stop messing around.

353

This is Master's decision.

354

Master's decision?

355

Eldest Disciple, this is against the rules.

356

He didn't participate in the entrance tournament and enters the sect directly.

357

It's not only unfair to us,

358

it's also unfair to all the rejected ones for hundreds of years.

359

Many people wish to enter.

360

If he wants to enter, he should first demonstrate that he is capable.

361

He must enter our White Goat Cave's test.

362

I must pass this entrance today.

363

You guys set the rules.

364

Are you sure?

365

Since I've come here, I'm not afraid.

366

No wonder White Goat Cave will suffer such a calamity.

367

Because you only know infighting.

[Nangong Caiwei, Blue Vine Sword Hall]

368

Nonsense.

369

Who are you? What are you?

370

I'm not a what.

371

If I'm not wrong,

372

you must be White Goat Cave's youngest disciple, Sheng Bai.

373

Your father is Sheng Feijing.

374

He was a subordinate to General Nangong Puocheng.

375

How do you know?

376

I am a disciple at Blue Vine Sword Hall, Nangong Caishu.

377

My father is Nangong Puocheng.

378

What's wrong? Now that you know my identity,

379

you're afraid of saying what you thought previously?

380

This is your so-called fairness?

381

If we are at Blue Vine Sword Hall,

382

once our headmaster has agreed to let someone in,

383

we would not block the entrance to prevent him from coming through.

384

Isn't this just an easy entrance exam?

385

Why make it so complicated?

386

Don't assume the exam is like a child's game.

387

There are over a thousand people who participate in this entrance exam.

388

But only a few can pass the test.

389

Please.

390

The first one is Moving Stone Plate. From among many bead, you must

391

find the five beads that contain spirit lights.

392

Find three,

393

then you can pass this step.

394

Those five beads are almost the same as the other beads.

395

Even if you spread them on a white linen at the same time,

396

you may not be able to discern them quickly.

397

Under this flowing condition,

398

I wouldn't have full confidence even if I had to do it again.

399

That's right. In the previous tests,

400

most of the candidates failed

401

right in front of the Moving Stone Plate.

402

Today is the first step for me to appear in front of so many people.

403

This first step will determine how I will be in the future.

404

I've hidden and tolerated for many years.

405

The flowers on that wall have bloomed more and more.

406

Some people are living in comfort.

407

But others are barely surviving in the dark dirty water,

408

neither human nor ghost.

409

So the first test at White Goat Cave is testing your calmness.

410

The first step to becoming a cultivator

411

is to quiet down my thoughts and not hold any sidetracking thoughts.

412

This is how I can feel the five airflows inside my body.

413

The fastest record previously at White Goat Cave

414

was half an incense's burning time.

(T/N: about 15 minutes)

415

This is impossible. So incredible to believe.

416

Second Senior Brother.

417

Not a single breath as a cultivator?

418

Four right out of five.

419

Next test.

420

This is a Perception Statue. Perception is a naturally endowed ability.

421

For some people, even if they can achieve inner calmness,

422

they cannot the existence of their five airflows and the primal energy in nature.

423

Without this endowed ability, then you cannot become a real cultivator.

424

The sword held by the statue is empty inside.

425

If you can sense the Qi flowing inside the statue,

426

you can direct the Qi to flow out of the sword.

427

As long as I can direct the Qi to flow out,

428

that would mean I pass and qualify?

429

Exactly so.

430

If I pass this test, then can I officially enter the mountain gate and study cultivation?
