Once upon a Time in LingJian Mountain
Episode 14
Taking advantage of the year
before the competition among the disciples,
let the ones who have been here for less than ten years
go down the mountain to practice.
First, evils are rampant.
Lingjian should eliminate demons
and maintain the peace for Cangxi people.
Second, only by deeply understanding the mainland,
can we better understand the world,
the cultivation and consciousness will complement each other,
and then we will not forget the origin.
Liu Xian, Fang He, Wang Wu,
you will lead the practice this time.
Yes.
Wang Wu!
Liumang Poisonous Blood?
You were hurt by Hai Tiankuo?
Don't make a fuss.
I can handle this myself.
Liumang Poisonous Blood is endless,
which conflicts with your power.
Why did you do this?
How could you be poisoned
by the Liumang Poisonous Blood
with your accomplishments?
You did it on purpose.
I'm not a masochist.
I was just careless then.
You’ve almost succeeded in Wuxiang Magic.
This full moon night
is the last time that you experience the pain.
However, Liumang Poisonous Blood will make you
suffer for at least another year.
Why do you do this?
Is it to further improve
the Wuxiang Magic?
You have already passed that,
why bother to do this?
Are you doing this for Wang Lu?
Yes,
Liumang Poisonous Blood can simulate
the low-level power flow,
and can help Wang Lu improve his Magic.
Wang Wu,
this will make you suffer another year.
If something bad happened,
- You will… - Alright,
I’m not doing this for him.
I just want to help you to improve the Magic.
Liumang Poisonous Blood is in your body,
so just stay in Lingjian Mountain.
I’ll let Hua Yun and Ao Guanhai
to practice with you
to prevent you from getting possessed again.
Liu Xian and Fang He
will take them down the mountain to practice.
Yes,
Leader,
this is a work-related injury.
No way!
Boy, you got what you wanted.
Really?
I'm really a prophet!
As expected, the practice is ahead of schedule.
Hai,
we don’t need to wait for three years.
As long as you can win the first place this time,
you will become
my master’s Successor Disciple,
and my junior fellow.
Great!
It’s not that easy.
Hai, you have to win the first place,
I’ll prepare a new room for you.
It’s not difficult.
I'm the only opponent on your
path of practice.
Although I have beaten you before,
you are still stronger
to others.
And,
I’ve become the Successor Disciple,
so I’ll help you to cheat
and give you my first place.
Stop bragging.
When you leave here,
you will know how terrible people are.
Alright, forget it.
I got other things to do.
By the way,
the mobilization meeting is held in three days,
the group list and other details
will be announced.
Lu, you’re smart.
You don’t need me to tell you what to do.
Sure, people and equipment first.
Bye, master!
You’re done. She keeps an eye on you.
Go down the mountain to practice?
Groups?
Have you heard that?
Leader asked us to practice in advance.
We will set off in three days.
Great! We can leave here finally.
Why is it so sudden?
Nobody knows.
It's too hasty to make groups
in three days.
What groups?
Don’t you know that?
Practice is the most
important test for Lingjian disciples.
All the disciples with less than ten years’ experience
have to go to the mortal world to practice.
But there are so many of us,
so we can’t be together.
It’s usually a group of four,
arranged by the Masters.
Zhu Qin, who do you want to join?
I just don’t want to stay with Wang Lu.
You’re so weak now but picky.
You should prepare the gifts
and find someone better to bribe.
Wang Lu is the Successor Disciple at least.
You can only
be chosen by others.
Don’t cry
when all the good teams
are full.
But, I…
Why will I cry?
What’s more,
I like to cry. It’s not your business.
Successor Disciple, so what?
Wang Zhong, come on,
let’s go cry.
Let’s go make group.
Good-for-nothing.
Xinyao, who do you want to join?
Me?
Who is that?
Please tell me.
You want to choose me?
I’m just an outer disciple.
You’re the one to choose.
Fool, of course I will choose you.
You sure?
You are one of the few Successor Disciples.
There will be many people coming to you tomorrow.
I advise you to think it over again.
There are still a few days to go.
You don’t need to be in a hurry.
You will be one of us.
As for the other two,
they also need your permission.
Why?
Isn't it what they do in the entrance test?
Master chooses the Successor Disciple.
Leader has no decision.
Good night.
Then, I’m leaving.
Hai?
You stayed up all night?
You said
I have to help you to select our teammates.
I just talked about it.
You took it seriously?
You are even more anxious than me.
Fine,
since you’re so interested in it,
I’ll take you to see
whether the fellows are capable.
Look at me!
Come on!
As a golden genius,
the prince charming of Non-Phase Peak,
I have no one here?
Maybe the news of the practice down mountain
hasn't been released yet.
They don't know it.
They must be too shy to see me.
Don’t lie to yourself.
You’re just unpopular.
Look at Yin Xuan.
Both of you are Successor Disciples,
but he is more popular than you.
This morning, the training ground
was surrounded by a lot of people.
I couldn’t even get a number in line.
Look at me!
Yin Xuan!
Look at me!
Look at him, and you.
It’s as dead as a grave yard.
Don’t you feel it scary?
Oh, you’re used to it.
Like your poor master,
doomed to be betrayed by the followers.
How dare you!
It’s Non-Phase Peak here.
I don’t need to choose the place
to do what I want.
He is right.
But I’m curious why
Mr. Zhu came here in such an early morning,
no gift, but making trouble.
If he's not bored, then he's
trying to get my attention.
What?
No one wants you because
you lost all your power?
So you want to piss me off
and take you in?
But it’s not a recycling site here,
is it?
You…
I’ve succeeded
in returning to Power already.
I’d rather go to a fool than you.
Zhu Qin,
let’s go.
Go?
Where?
Your former master is in disgrace.
We can't leave her to die.
We should stay and be a capper for them.
One is better than none,
right?
Wang Lu!
You…
You will choose me, right?
He really got a capper.
But whom are you going to show it to?
To you, of course!
Look at my Hai,
you’re both the princes,
he just reached the Transcendency silently.
And Bao,
the first place of Qingyun test.
What about you?
Fresh man who lost all your power.
How could you still act wild here?
Aren’t you ashamed?
I just passed by
and made fun of you by the way.
Zhu Qin,
we’d better go now.
Or it will be late
to send the gifts to Liuli Xian.
Right.
I’ll wait for you down the mountain.
Liuli Xian!
You’ll be dead.
Wang Lu,
am I really that good as what you said?
Of course. One of a hundred.
Really?
Then you promised
to take me in your group?
Welcome Wen Bao, the Rage Master,
to provide our team with force output!
OK, now we still need one.
Who should we choose?
In fact, I have a choice in mind.
- Who is that? - Who?
This practice
is very important to Hai.
As long as he takes the first place,
the Restriction in his body can be broken.
With our current cooperation,
intelligence, magical power
and force output, we have everything.
But it's still a step away from
the best team in my heart.
What’s that?
Background.
Think about it,
who has the strongest background in Lingjian?
Liuli!
I made this chicken myself. Have a try.
You’ll like it.
Have a try.
Try mine! Try mine!
Here. It’s so delicious.
Liuli! Try mine!
It smells so good!
Liuli!
Mine! Mine is great!
Wait a moment!
Try mine!
This is good! Have a try!
Wait!
It’s delicious!
Liuli!
Make a way, please!
Make a way!
What a big box.
These…
These are all for me?
It’s just a little gift.
This is from me and Zhu Qin.
We hope that you can
consider us.
Yes.
Consider?
For what?
Well…
Consider
taking us with…
Master Ao.
Master.
Master,
what brings you here?
I won’t let you go
if you feed her more food!
Let’s go! Hurry up!
Come on!
Master…
Ling!
Ling, we need you.
Don't get in the way of my business.
Last time you cheated me to Magic Pond
and said I could make a lot of money.
And then?
I haven’t seen a dime.
Where did you get so much money?
Did you steal it from your master
when she was away?
I made it by opening the gambling.
Nonsenses!
Didn’t your master
take all the money you made?
I’m not stupid, OK?
Master! You’re amazing!
I didn’t expect that
this cunning fox
can also be cheated one day.
Green comes from blue,
but it excels blue.
Flattery always brings troubles.
Tell me, what’s it?
Here is it,
Leader asked the new disciples to form a team
to go down the mountain for practice.
Four people in each group.
We only need you now.
I’m not going.
No way!
The first prize is very valuable.
I won't go.
I can’t leave Lingjian Mountain.
Why?
You’re the daughter of the Leader.
Even the Magic Restriction can’t trap you.
Why can’t you leave here?
Right,
why can’t you leave here?
You…
Ling,
is there something difficult
for you to say?
Yes, you can tell us.
She has difficulties…
What?
You think too much!
Leader loves his daughter so much that
he is reluctant to let her out of his sight.
To be honest,
it’s really a kidnapping
in the name of love.
You’re no longer a kid,
so he can’t just keep you from going out
because he’s worried about you
all the time.
If I were you,
I’ll rush to Cloud Hall,
pointing at him and telling him
“I’ve had enough of the life in this”
“kind of bird cage.”
“I want to go down the mountain,”
“to leave Lingjian sect”
“to a place I can live”
“freely without you!”
Isn’t this happier than making money?
Ling, where are you going?
You’re right!
I’ll go to my father!
Wait for me.
You’re kidnapping me
in the name of love!
You can’t keep me from going out
because you’re worried about me!
I’ve had enough of
this kind of life in the
bird cage!
I’ll go down the mountain!
I’ll leave Lingjian sect
to a place
I can live freely
without you!
He taught you to say these?
It’s not important that who taught me.
What’s important
is that these
are all the words from my heard.
He has known about your secrets?
Some of them.
I don’t know what to say
after your long speech.
I’ve locked you here for so many years.
It’s really hard for you.
If you really want to go down the mountain,
I won’t stop you.
Although you’ve lost your chance,
it can’t be denied that
you are still my daughter.
You’re always a member of Lingjian sect.
If you want to practice down the mountain,
no one dares to say no.
Really?
Have you decided which group to join?
None of them.
I’ll go alone.
All on my own.
Ling,
this is not what you promised me!
Lu,
thank you for helping me.
But you and I are not the same.
We can’t practice together.
So I have to refuse your invitation.
I want to go down the mountain,
but I want to go alone.
One day
I will prove to all of you that
even if I can only
practice mortal martial arts in my life,
I will still be more successful than
those of you who practice.
Ling, you’ve grown up.
I should let you go, too.
Go?
My perfect plan
has gone because of you two!
Lu, did Leader agree?
Yeah!
Then Ling is officially
one of us?
No.
Lu,
you said “yeah” and “no” at same time.
What on earth is the result?
Leader agreed.
But Ling wants to go alone.
Alone?
Yes.
She does want to leave here
to practice in mortal world.
But we’ll practice the different things.
I misjudged.
We lost our best partner.
What about now? We still need one.
Who should we ask?
Save it.
Now all the strong ones
have been picked out by other Successor Disciples.
How do you know that?
Although Zhu Qin is annoying,
most of what he said was true.
This morning,
Yin Xuan interviewed hundreds of people,
and then Zhu Shiyao, Liuli Xian.
After them,
we won’t like the rest of the people.
Xinyao!
Sorry to bother you.
No.
Don’t say that.
Please.
Are you here
to see my master?
Wang Lu, I’m here, for you.
Me?
I want to…
practice down mountain with you.
What?
I want to practice down mountain with you.
Really?
That’ll be great.
We also need one member.
Lu!
Xinyao wants to…
Xinyao,
I got a stomachache suddenly.
I need to go to the toilet.
Let’s talk about it next time.
Next time.
Don’t you need one member?
Wang Lu!
- Wait… - Wang Lu!
Wang Lu,
Xinyao wants to go practice with you,
You…
Didn’t you hear it?
Of course I did.
But I don’t want her.
But at least,
she is a senior fellow.
And she is at higher stage than us.
This will break her heart
that you refused her
in that way.
I’ve done this good enough.
I didn’t refuse her before her.
Lu,
I also think that it was
a haste just now.
She came to us personally,
her qualifications and accomplishments
are outstanding among inner disciples.
What did you
refuse her for?
For you.
For us.
If the result of three plus one
is less than or equal to three,
then why should we need her?
Because of the lustful Wen Bao?
Objectively speaking, she's really beautiful.
Can beauty work?
Do you know this is
really important for us?
Because we're going to spend
the next year together.
We should be
really careful about this.
Because when we are in danger,
we can't give our back to someone
who doesn't trust us at all.
And trust is the soul of the team,
it’s above everything.
You said in the morning
that the most important is background
and relationship.
Bao,
I was just kidding.
You will know it when you are in danger.
Although you’re right,
we can’t just go with only the three of us.
Why not?
Why can’t we do it as a team of three?
If we can’t find another suitable member,
then the three of us
will be the best partners.
But it's not in line with the rules.
Rules can be broken.
I can even recite the management rules backwards.
As long as there is a Master to guarantee,
even if the team is less than four people,
we can still go practice.
Really?
Then what are we waiting for?
Let’s go find your master!
Why hasn’t she come back yet?
She went to drink again?
One Grand Bone equals nine levels.
There are twelve Grand Bones.
My Wuxiang Sword
has reached 108 levels!
You can’t get fortune without risks.
I not only achieved great success,
but also used the Poisonous Blood to predict
the next step of Wang Lu's practice.
Great.
Congratulations.
You don’t need to suffer from the pain anymore.
Wu!
Although you got rid of the pain,
the Poisonous Blood
has been combined with your Sword Bone.
When you use your power,
the poison will hurt you,
from once a month to several times a day.
I really think
you’re stupid from the bottom of my heart.
Leader,
Wu is doing this to improve
the Wuxiang Magaic,
and for Wang Lu.
Don’t blame her.
She will be spoiled.
The Poisonous Blood
is not that easy to solve.
I have told Hua Yun and Lu Li.
You should stay
in Lingjian Mountain next six months
without going anywhere else.
We’ll use Three-talent Formation to heal you.
Leader,
you really care a lot about me.
Don’t think too much.
This is not for free.
I’ll take your salary of the next five years.
How could you do that?
Five years?
I’d rather die!
Wu! Where are you going?
You have no value to me now.
I should go back and find my stupid disciple
to get more benefits.
What about now?
If your master doesn’t come back in three days,
we can’t go down mountain
to practice.
Little Bao.
Don’t you remember
that my master was also not there
when we met Yue Yun?
We still got the permit.
You want to steal her seal again?
We've been looking for it everywhere,
but we still haven't found it.
Do you think she is wary of us
and took it away?
Villains can always be outsmarted.
Wait,
how could my master be so stupid?
She went to drink with her seal.
If she’s found out,
the world would know that
she is the shame of Lingjian.
You brat!
Master!
When did you come back?
How dare you to be so arrogant?
Are you looking for this?
You want to cheat in my name?
No way!
Master,
listen…
I don’t want to. Stop.
I know
everything you want to do.
As a Successor Disciple,
you don’t even
have a follower. Except for Hai.
Oh, you’re here.
Why don’t you learn from me?
Pff.
Aren’t you ashamed?
If you didn't make enemies everywhere
and offend the masters,
how could I not be popular
while I’m so cute and handsome?
Pff!
That is a slander!
In any case,
it's all your fault.
You've been poking around
and showing off all day.
Everyone who is not silly
will stay away of you
to keep a safe distance.
I’m talking about you two.
Master,
please don’t say that.
You just break our tiny hearts.
I just want to remind you.
How about
I give you the permission
to go practice alone?
Then you won’t cause troubles to them.
I disagree.
We are friends.
We should be together.
Yes,
whether there's a fourth person or not,
at least the three of us can't be separated.
You three are really in harmony.
I won’t let you go practice alone.
I will be worried.
Then,
you’ve agreed?
Relax,
there are still two days left.
Maybe
someone surprising will
come to you.
Don’t worry.
Wang Lu,
it’s getting late.
You should leave now.
OK.
It’s getting late.
What?
Go!
Watch?
What are you waiting for?
Master,
I need you to help me on another thing.
What do you want to do to me?
What’s wrong with you?
Can you be serious?
Fine. Go ahead.
I want to ask for something.
Moral integrity?
I don’t have that.
Shouldn’t we get people and equipment?
The people are ready.
But how can we fight against others
without equipment?
Fight against others?
You haven’t succeeded in Wuxiang Sword yet.
You’re the one to be fought.
Wuxiang Sword?
But I don’t even have a sword now!
You think I’m mean?
What? I didn’t say that.
Come on, forget it.
I'm even too poor to buy wine.
How can I buy you equipment, right?
Wait,
Master Zhifeng just lost his treasures
to you a few days ago,
and you took away my money.
You lost them all?
Anyway,
you’re the only disciple of Non-Phase Peak,
I should give you a weapon
as a farewell gift.
Great!
Thank you! Master!
You’re welcome!
I’m happy for you.
Do you know what it is?
Isn't this the monument to our ancestors?
It’s not only a monument.
It has another space in it.
Hold on tightly.
Master, why do you take me here?
Are you going to kill me because
you have nothing for me?
Look there.
Treasury of Lingjian?
How could I get in the treasury?
This is the Sword Graveyard.
Sword Graveyard?
Lingjian regards swords as highest priority.
These swords were used by the ancestors.
Unbelievable.
You just hide so many treasures
in such a shabby place?
What a pity.
Cut the crap. Pick one.
Master,
I’m going down the mountain.
I need a sword to protect myself
if I run into some monsters or demons.
But if my sword breaks down
on the half way…
You’re so annoying.
Fine,
you’re going to spend a year
down the mountain.
I’ll just regard this
as a payment for quiet time.
What did you say?
I said,
here, Yaotian Sword.
Don’t like it.
It’s of eighth level!
It’s worth a lot of money!
So what?
It can’t even beat you.
What…
What’s this?
Nothing.
It’s just…
a toothpick!
Then why are you so nervous?
Liar.
Is it really a toothpick?
It’s a sword!
You can take anything you like
except this.
Why?
Is this what your
ex-husband left?
Nonsense.
Since it’s not,
why can’t I take this?
There is only one person who can pull out
Kunshan Sword since ancient times.
He has been missing for hundreds of years.
If you can’t pull it out,
it’ll will be just an iron in your hand.
Don’t waste the God’s gift.
How did you do that?
Come on,
I’m the leading role.
Who else can pull it out
except me?
Even if you can pull it out,
the sword will not be used by you.
Why?
Its spirit is still in there.
Spirit?
It has been fighting with its master for years
and has achieved great power.
You?
You don’t even deserve to serve it.
And you want to conquer it?
Conquer it?
Hello, my Lord.
Hi.
It’s not the golden cudgel
but the fairy wand!
Liang Qiu, what’s wrong with you?
He is your Lord?
You’re not Ouyang Shang, who are you?
Of course he is not!
Are you blind?
How could you let him pull out
Kunshan Sword?
I’m not the blind one,
but Ouyang Shang is.
How could he like a reckless
and arrogant woman like you?
Who did you say?
Who else can it be?
You and him!
You!
Alright, stop that.
Is Ouyang Shang the highest level master?
You are his lover?
None of your business.
He is my only man.
Yours?
Come here.
Since that stupid thing
says you’re her man,
I’ll give this Kunshan Sword
to you today.
Thank you, master.
But she is a tough one,
you should give her nine seals
and ask Leader to erase her memory.
Then she will do anything you ask.
Really?
You can do whatever you want.
What are you
whispering about?
She wants to erase your memory.
So cruel!
I’m your master! Where are you standing?
It seems that you are not only
a reckless and arrogant woman,
but also a bad woman who
plays tricks behind others.
You want to seal me?
No way!
Raise the sword.
Farewell!
Female sword?
You gave this to me.
You promised.
I won't break my promise,
but I' suggest that
you’d better erase her memory.
Why?
This is a hundred years’ sword spirit.
Every battle she fought
is a precious treasure.
You want me to clear her experience?
I’m not stupid.
You’re so eager to empty her memory,
are you afraid that she will reveal your secrets?
Am I right?
You’re Ouyang Shang’s lover!
You're afraid that she will tell Ouyang Shang
your relationship with Ao Guanhai, right?
Yes,
take this!
This is really a good defensive weapon!
Of course.
Water can carry a boat, and also capsize it.
She can protect you now,
and she can also kill you in future.
What does that mean?
Think about it yourself.
The wife will go down the mountain.
I’m tired. Bye.
Female sword?
What about the Male sword?
Master! How can I get out of here?
