441: Arrival, Li Mansion (Updated)

“That's not necessary. The Sword Dao is fundamentally about enlightenment, with talent as the primary factor and diligence as secondary. Cultivating the sword is cultivating the mind; there’s no need to pursue it too deliberately. Just follow your heart.

Everyone has their own life path, and the Sword Dao is the same. Even if one cultivates the same Sword Technique, their personal Sword Dao will still be quite different,” Jun Li said to Li Yuanfeng.

“Hahaha! I’ve learned a lot!” Li Yuanfeng was slightly stunned by Jun Li’s advice, then laughed heartily and said.

Thus, the two started chatting about the Sword Dao.

“Young Master, Yinjiang City will be here soon,” the coachman’s voice suddenly came from outside the carriage.

“Oh? That fast! Has it been that long already?!” Li Yuanfeng was surprised. This journey usually took about half an hour, and he felt like not much time had passed! How could they already be there?

“It seems I was so engrossed in talking with you that I forgot the time,” Li Yuanfeng said to Jun Li with a smile.

Jun Li smiled without speaking.

Because she was basically the one answering Li Yuanfeng’s questions.

After all, Jun Li’s realm was there, and not just her realm, but her vision and Sword Dao realm far surpassed Li Yuanfeng’s by a great deal.

During their conversation, although Jun Li didn’t explicitly ask, from the insights she revealed, she already knew that Li Yuanfeng’s Sword Dao realm was likely still at the “Sword Technique” level.

Let alone comprehending Sword Intent, he probably couldn’t even see a shadow of it.

But it was normal, given the current state of the Sword Dao… Moreover, Li Yuanfeng didn’t hide anything; he even told her, a person he met for the first time, about his family’s inherited Sword Technique.

Li Yuanfeng’s family inherited Sword Technique was called the Flame Yang Swordplay.

Judging by the name, it didn’t sound bad.

But in reality, it was far inferior to Jun Li’s Great Sun Sword Art.

If using an SABCDE ranking, Jun Li’s Great Sun Sword Art was S-rank, while Li Yuanfeng’s Flame Yang Swordplay was merely C-rank, no higher.

The name of a Sword Technique isn’t important; what’s important is how powerful it is.

Furthermore, there are differences between Sword Techniques.

Among those of the same rank, some have weaker power but make it easier for you to comprehend Sword Intent, while others are very powerful but basically have no connection to Sword Intent, unless your comprehension is truly terrifying. But if your comprehension is that terrifying, the level of the Sword Technique doesn’t matter; it’s all about breaking through with comprehension.

After all, someone with terrifying comprehension, if bored at night, might stare at the stars and perhaps even create their own Sword Technique.

Hmm, the Sword Dao relying too much on comprehension is also one of the fundamental reasons for the current “decline” of the Sword Dao. Its inheritance is already failing, and it still relies on comprehension…

The Sword Dao realm is very important; otherwise, if you simply cultivate your cultivation level…

Then it really is better to take other paths.

Unlike Jun Li, Li Yuanfeng smiled on the surface, but his heart was already blooming with joy. He was bouncing and jumping inside, cheering excitedly.

Oh my god! This is a Sword Dao Grandmaster! A Grandmaster!!!

Basically, all of Li Yuanfeng’s various doubts about the Sword Dao were answered one by one by Jun Li, which truly enlightened him!

And Jun Li even pointed out many directions for improvement in the Flame Yang Swordplay.

Li Yuanfeng felt that this alone could elevate his family’s inherited Flame Yang Swordplay to a higher level, at least from C to C+.

How could this not excite Li Yuanfeng!

Moreover, Li Yuanfeng also learned that Jun Li was actually a Sword Cultivator of the Embrace the Core Realm!

Originally, Li Yuanfeng only intended to “lend a hand” and see if he could recruit her into the family, but now he only wanted to firmly cling to Jun Li’s leg.

He must maintain this friendship well!

To turn this chance encounter into a friendship with continued interaction!

Jun Li saw that the gates of Yinjiang City were controlled by several teams of soldiers, and every passerby had to undergo inspection.

Those without passes needed to pay an entry fee.

And merchants carrying goods also needed to be inspected.

Of course, these soldiers were from the imperial dynasty and would not deliberately make things difficult for anyone.

There was a reason for implementing the inspections.

Even Li Yuanfeng presented his pass and had the inside of his carriage briefly checked.

“Do I also need a pass?” Jun Li took out the pass the commander had given her.

“No, no, I have one, that’s enough,” Li Yuanfeng waved his hand and said.

“Alright, go in,” the inspecting soldier outside waved his hand and said.

The main purpose of the inspection was to see if anyone had been injured by demons, to check for contraband, and so on.

After all, many people injured by demons were “contagious,” or carried some kind of contamination.

Similar incidents had occurred in the past, and since then, city entry inspections had been implemented.

Before long, they arrived at the Li family residence.

“We’re here, get out of the carriage,” Li Yuanfeng said to Jun Li, then jumped out of the carriage.

Jun Li stepped down from the carriage, looking at the large characters “Li Mansion” before her.

Just a quick glance, her gaze sweeping across, the perimeter wall stretched at least a hundred meters horizontally.

Clearly, the Li family’s plot of land alone in Yinjiang City was not small.

However, judging by the location, the Li family was not in the center of the city; it should be on the outskirts of Yinjiang City.

Of course, Jun Li wasn’t too clear on other things, but it was just as Li Yuanfeng had said, quite deserted.

There were basically no people nearby.

After reaching their destination, the guards dispersed.

The coachman drove the carriage inside.

And Li Yuanfeng led Jun Li in.

Servants they encountered along the way would respectfully call out “Young Master” to Li Yuanfeng.

Li Yuanfeng responded to each of them.

They arrived at the main hall.

A tall, upright middle-aged man happened to walk over.

“Feng’er, I heard you’re back! And this is?” The middle-aged man said to Li Yuanfeng, then looked at Jun Li beside him.

“Father, this is a fellow traveler I met on the road!” Li Yuanfeng briefly explained what happened on the road to the middle-aged man.

“Hello! I am the head of the Li family, also Feng’er’s father. My name is Li Chengshuang,” Li Chengshuang said to Jun Li.

“Hello! Patriarch Li, my name is Jun Li,” Jun Li responded with a smile.

“Brother! You came back and didn’t even tell me!” At this moment, a clear voice came from outside.

A young girl “burst” in from outside the door, leaping in, then saw Jun Li and realized there was an outsider. Her face immediately flushed slightly, and her “uninhibited” movements abruptly paused. In an instant, she became much more demure, walking slowly over.

If Jun Li hadn’t seen the girl’s “free-spirited” way of jumping in, she would have truly believed this was a well-bred young lady!
