My dreams can simulate the future.

Chapter 70 Iron Sword Master

After entering Jinding Mountain, the Jinshui River begins to meander.

The shuttle boats travel upstream, shuttling back and forth among the many mountain peaks.

After driving for another hundred miles or so, they came to see a mountain peak that rose abruptly from the ground like a long sword.

The shuttle boat docked at the foot of the mountain, and Li Wusheng shouted, "New disciples, follow me to the Guard Hall and await the Hall Master's instructions."

Jiang Chen is also an easygoing person; as long as no one causes trouble, he's fine wherever he is.

Soon, the group arrived at a large courtyard at the foot of Tianjian Peak to stay temporarily, and Li Wusheng went straight to hand in his mission.

About an hour later, Li Wusheng and a middle-aged man arrived at the courtyard where Jiang Chen was.

This middle-aged man had an ordinary appearance, of medium build and height, and showed no signs of magical power. He looked exactly like an ordinary person.

If it weren't for the murderous aura emanating from the long sword he carried on his back, it would be easy to mistake him for an ordinary person.

Although Jiang Chen's cultivation level was low, he still had some knowledge. The killing intent emanating from that longsword was definitely not something a second-grade magic weapon could possess.

Therefore, the middle-aged man in front of him must be a Core Formation cultivator.

Within the Golden Cauldron Sect, Core Formation cultivators are not commonplace; most are at the Hall Master level. This person is likely the Hall Master or Deputy Hall Master of the Guardian Hall.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to step forward to pay his respects, Li Wusheng spoke up, "The Hall Master of the Guard Hall is here."

Jiang Chen and the others immediately bowed and greeted the Hall Master.

Jiang Chen knew a little about this guard hall master.

This person's name is "Iron Sword Master," a leading figure among the outsiders of the Golden Cauldron Sect, whose cultivation has reached the peak of the Core Formation stage.

He was also the only Core Formation sword cultivator in the Golden Cauldron Sect, and his strength was among the best in the sect.

In his early years, he was also a rogue cultivator who hunted demons. While exploring the ruins of ancient cultivators, he accidentally obtained a sword-wielding inheritance.

After some training, he discovered that he had excellent talent for sword cultivation and his strength improved rapidly.

Because sword cultivators excel at killing, he quickly made a name for himself among rogue demon hunters.

While the Golden Cauldron Sect excels in weapon crafting, its core tradition is not suited for combat. Therefore, the sect's leadership has always sought to acquire some of its inheritances to enhance its combat prowess.

The Iron Sword Immortal's reputation soared, attracting the attention of the Golden Cauldron Sect cultivators. After some twists and turns, the Iron Sword Immortal joined the Golden Cauldron Sect.

He was upright and outspoken, which offended many people and led to suppression from his own faction. However, he was exceptionally talented and made outstanding contributions, gradually rising in the ranks.

Because of his experience of being suppressed by the loyalists, he joined the outsiders' faction. With his formidable strength, he became the leader of the outsiders' faction.

After he became famous, many cultivators wanted to become his disciples, including many of his direct disciples.

However, he was upright and only accepted disciples from outside the faction, and most of the people in the direct line disliked him.

But his power and status are undeniable, and no one dares to touch him.

Iron Sword Master glanced at Jiang Chen: "You must be Jiang Chen? I've heard Wusheng mention you. If it weren't for you, he probably wouldn't have made it back alive."

Jiang Chen didn't take credit for himself: "Those people ambushed me on the way, they wanted to kill me too. Speaking of which, Senior Brother Li was also implicated because of me."

Master Tiejian didn't seem to care at all: "Since Wusheng has accepted the task of escorting disciples to the mountain gate to report for duty, he must ensure your safety."

"Whoever is responsible, if that ship is attacked, it's their problem."

"You deserve immense credit for repelling the hijacking rebels. I will apply to the finance department for compensation for your losses."

However, you can't keep the Formation-Breaking Pearl. I'll offer you a thousand spirit stones if you sell it to me.

"If anyone dares to cause you trouble with the Breaking Formation Pearl in the future, feel free to come to me. I'll personally confront them."

After saying that, he took out a storage bag and handed it to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had heard a little about Iron Sword Master's temperament, so he didn't say anything polite and immediately took the storage bag and handed over the array-breaking bead.

Master Tiejian glanced at everyone and said, "You are all from the ranks of rogue cultivators. Now that you have come to the Golden Cauldron Sect, you are also members of my outsider faction."

When you go out on missions in the future, our Foreign Service Team will protect you.

You must remember that in the eyes of the loyalists, we are nothing more than their servants.

If you join their side because of their sweet talk, I won't care if you die later.

After saying that, he looked at Li Wusheng and said, "Wusheng, go and arrange for the disciples who have accumulated enough experience to report to the Executive Hall."

The others will wait for the monks from each hall to come and take them away.

Li Wusheng accepted the order and took his leave. Iron Sword Master looked at Jiang Chen again, a hint of regret on his face.

"It's a pity that you're too thoughtful, little fellow, and not suited to my swordsmanship. Otherwise, I would really like to take you as my disciple."

My Guardian Hall prefers disciples with rich combat experience. Why don't you come to my Guardian Hall?

With me protecting you, no one will dare to bully you anymore.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was genuinely tempted.

But when he thought about the mission of the Guardian Hall, he calmed down.

It is currently wartime, and most of the cultivators from the Guardian Hall are going to Changyuan Mountain to defend against the enemy.

The Black Stone Society members are still watching him, especially that black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator, who has a multitude of tricks up his sleeve.

I'll wait until I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage before I go looking for trouble with him.

Thinking of this, he bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. However, I am not good at fighting, but I have some talent in the art of talismans. It would be better for me to go to the Talisman Hall."

Senior Brother Zhao recommended me, and I felt a lot of pressure. If I stayed in the Guardian Hall, I would feel I was letting him down.

"From now on, anyone in the Guardian Hall who wants my talismans will get a 30% discount."

Upon hearing this, Master Tiejian couldn't help but chuckle: "You little fellow, you know how to behave better than that rascal Zhao Changzhou."

"Fine, I won't force you. I've already notified the Talisman Hall; they'll be here to pick you up soon."

He then took out a jade pendant: "Wusheng is my most valued successor. You saved his life, so I cannot fail to show my appreciation."

This is a communication jade talisman; it can be used within a radius of a thousand miles. If anyone makes things difficult for you in the future, just send me a message.

Jiang Chen did not refuse and immediately accepted the jade talisman, carefully storing it away.

"Thank you, Master."

The value of this communication jade talisman is extremely high. Sending a message directly to a Core Formation cultivator means I'll have someone to rely on from now on.

Iron Sword Master is known for protecting his own, and with him as a backer, other cultivators would never dare to cause trouble for him easily.

Of course, anyone who dares to cause trouble for you must have a powerful backer.

Master Tiejian smiled slightly, and his figure transformed into a silver sword light, heading straight for the summit of Tianjian Peak.

At this moment, the other cultivators who had come to the Golden Cauldron Sect to report also looked at Jiang Chen with great interest.

A middle-aged man cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, I am Qi Tingsong, also a talisman master, and I will be joining the Talisman Hall in the future."

We both come from Blackstone Mountain Market and entered the sect on the same boat, so it's quite a coincidence. I hope Senior Brother Jiang will take good care of us in the future.

Upon hearing the name, Jiang Chen knew that he was a member of the Qi family, the third largest family in Black Stone Mountain Market.

He immediately returned the greeting with clasped hands: "As the saying goes, 'It takes ten years of cultivation to share a boat ride,' so it is indeed a great fate that we can come to the mountain gate together."

Having weathered numerous crises along the way, we've shared hardships and should look after each other.
