Once upon a Time in LingJian Mountain

Episode 7

You should stop eating.

Keep a diet.

What’s going on?

- Liuli, easy. - What happened?

Liuli, what are you doing?

We’re just having lunch!

Assassins!

Let’s go.

Zhu Qin!

Perform Breaking Eye!

Hurry.

Leave them to me.

You get out of here.

Let’s go.

Wang Lu,

is Liuli going to be OK with them?

She’ll be fine.

You saw how she broke their magic with her sword?

Besides, I’m happy if she’s not OK.

I’m serious here.

Can you please be serious, too?

OK.

I have a question.

I want a serious answer.

What is it?

Do you know anything about the assassins?

Not exactly.

It seems they’re after us.

Are they?

I think they’re after you.

I don’t see what you mean.

You’re from Junhuang Mountain, right?

How do you know that?

The men in black performed Six Lights Prison.

That’s a magic only to Junhuang Mountain.

What does that

have to do with me?

I think you’re not just someone from there,

you’re somebody.

Probably a prince or the like.

Why?

Simple.

If you’re just some guy,

they won’t come so far to hunt you down.

If you were not a prince,

they could have just killed you.

Why do they want to catch you alive?

Because you have a strong background.

Since you’ve figured it out,

there’s no need to hide it from you.

You’re right.

My true identity is a prince of Junhuang Mountain.

Three years ago...

All right. You don’t have to tell me.

You must have your reason

to keep it from us.

I’ll pretend that we never had this conversation.

And I won’t tell anyone about it.

Wang Lu,

thanks.

Don’t mention it.

We’re friends.

As long as you stay in Lingjian Mountain,

you’ll be safe.

It reminds me

why you’re so reluctant

to get down from the mountain.

However,

Lu, you’re right about Liuli.

She broke their magic with her swords.

She’ll be fine.

But I’m worried about you.

In the competition,

even though you can perform Whirling,

the odds are against you.

Don’t worry.

I have my plan

to keep myself safe.

What is it?

It won’t work if I tell you.

This is what I’ve stolen

from Junhuang Mountain, the Teleport Charm.

Keep it. It will save your life.

In emergent situations,

use it to leave Lingjian Mountain.

Teleport Charm

can build a new time channel

and teleport you to another location.

It’s kind of like At Will Door.

Look,

I just traveled to so many places.

OK.

Then I’m definitely on the win.

Let’s go.

Why didn’t you use it

in the tryout?

We could teleport to the destination.

I sank in the sand pit, you know,

and got so much sand in my mouth.

Well...

What are you trying to say?

Say it.

Forgive me.

I failed.

You know what went wrong?

I failed the assassination

and messed up your plan.

You were out of your mind

to have performed Breaking Eye to save them.

You want to take their side?

No, no, no.

No.

I...I had to.

If I didn’t do something,

I would be exposed.

How am I going to stay undercover

and keep you informed?

I promise,

next time,

I’ll...

It won’t happen again.

Right, it won’t.

The competition for tomorrow

is critical.

If you let anything go wrong again,

I can’t guarantee that I won’t do anything

that would make you regret.

Tomorrow?

That means there’s another chance.

Liuli,

didn’t you have a meal when you reported

to the Masters?

Another one already?

Tomorrow is the competition day.

Don’t you worry about indigestion?

That’s precisely why I have to eat.

My master tells me

to eat more

so as to preserve strength.

One more word about it,

I’ll eat you up.

See you then.

Who is it?

Liuli,

I bring some desserts for you.

But I don't know if you like them.

These...

These are all for me?

You have to be careful in tomorrow’s

competition with Wang Lu.

Don't worry.

So many snacks

make me so happy.

I won’t kill him.

No, no, no.

What I’m saying is

Wang Lu’s full of wicked ideas.

You have to be smart.

Tastes good.

Yesterday, at Lingxi Town,

he used you to protect himself.

He’s the bandits’ target.

He turned them against you.

That’s what he’s been good at.

In these years,

I’m a victim of his evil tricks.

I guess

you’re speaking ill of him.

No.

I... I’m just

worried about your safety.

What I said about him is true.

True?

But my master told me

what’s true isn’t always right.

Take backbite for example.

Say it in front of him and it makes you decent.

Say it behind his back,

and it makes you a wicked man.

Besides, it was a critical situation.

He asked for my help.

I’m senior to him.

And I’m more powerful.

It’s OK to me.

All right.

Let’s get back to the competition.

Wang Lu is good at blandishments.

Liuli,

don't give him the chance to speak.

If he does,

you just... Just beat him.

Just beat him, all right?

Just don’t believe whatever he says.

If he really has a point,

why can’t I believe him?

And Wang Lu is handsome.

A handsome man’s words are usually right.

Liuli, I can’t agree with you on that.

For example, you’re gorgeous,

but what you just said is not right.

I...

I know you said that for my sake.

But I like simple fights.

You win or you lose.

But...

You’re so annoying.

I don’t want any of your desserts.

Just go.

You really don't want these?

Liuli, Liuli, invincible Liuli!

You’re gorgeous and charming.

Liuli, Liuli, invincible Liuli!

You’re gorgeous and charming.

Liuli, Liuli, invincible Liuli!

You’re gorgeous and charming.

Liuli, Liuli, invincible Liuli!

You’re gorgeous and charming.

I’m counting on you.

Wang Lu,

you have to win this competition.

I’ve wagered all we have

in Non-phase Peak on you.

Master,

though you treat me badly,

in a critical juncture like this,

you’re on my side.

I know.

Hold on.

What did you say?

I owed tens of thousands of Magic Stones.

We’ll get 10 times of the wager.

If you win, I can pay the debts once and for all.

I know it.

What if I lose?

Then all three of you go to hell.

Wang Lu, you have to fight for it.

Lu,

you have to win it.

If I lose,

you two go to hell.

Liuli, Liuli, invincible Liuli!

You’re gorgeous.

Fellows,

the competitors are Wang Lu from Non-phase Peak

and Liuli from Qingyun Peak.

As a punishment to rule breakers,

we hold the trail by competition at Cloud Hall.

There isn’t a set time limit,

nor magic forms.

It continues until one side falls off the stage

or one side gives in.

Live or die,

you should know it’s your fate.

Master Ao,

if Liuli and I fall off the stage at the same time,

who wins?

I agree on whatever rules he proposes.

I won’t lose anyway.

All right.

If the two of them fall off the stage together,

Wang Lu will win.

Hold on, Guanhai.

We need to make an additional term.

It will not go in effect if she chooses to jump off.

That boy is full of wicked ideas.

He may jump off the stage

and claim that

he isn’t struck out,

but jumps off by himself, so he doesn’t lose.

Liuli is an innocent girl.

She may fall for his trick

and jump off the stage

to fight with him until he gives in.

Then she falls into his trap.

Because Guanhai just announced

if both of them fall off the stage,

Wang Lu wins.

Crap.

Lu’s plan is exposed.

Master Fang,

I’m innocent, too.

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Stop pretending!

The competition starts now.

Kick him off, Liuli.

You can do it.

Weakness No.1,

indigestion due to good appetite.

Kick his ass! Come on. Liuli.

Liuli, go get him!

Liuli, beat him!

Liuli, kick him!

Liuli, you can do it.

The competition is so funny.

Lu, be prepared.

Liuli, kick him!

I told you to keep a diet.

Now you see why.

Wu,

your disciple is so smart.

Liuli,

be serious.

Kick him.

Don't show mercy to him.

Lu, you can’t hide forever.

What’s the fun of hiding all the time?

If I don’t hide, I’d be beaten up.

Liuli, go get him. Liuli, kick him! Come on, Liuli.

Don’t run. Stop.

What’s the point of it?

Kick him!

There you are.

Though Wang Lu knows nothing about magic,

he has a strong body.

Wu’s spirit of Wuxiang Sword

is indeed useful.

He can’t escape forever.

Good job.

Kick him.

Well done, Liuli. Keep it.

I’m thrilled.

She got him.

Kick him, Liuli.

Come on, Liuli.

Good job.

Good.

It hurts him,

but does no harm to the power channels.

That’s what I want.

Weakness No.2,

she’s sensitive about her waistline.

This is... This is so...

Absurd.

He’s so shameless,

just...

just like his master.

He’s trying to seal off

Liuli’s power channels.

Smart move.

Lu, let go of me.

If you don’t let go, I’ll fight with full strength.

What?

Full strength?

Kick him!

Well done!

Wonderful job!

Amazing!

Liuli, good job.

You’re amazing!

Well done!

Well done!

Liuli, keep it.

Weakness No.3,

loss of hair.

You shouldn’t have tickled me.

Lu, wait for me.

You dare pull my hair?

I can’t allow it.

Oh no.

Liuli lost it.

Flaming Sword!

Flaming Sword!

Lu,

you used to be in trouble.

Now you’re in real trouble.

The stage is missing.

Where is the stage?

What happened?

Where’s the stage?

Where did the stage go?

Weird.

The stage...

It just disappears.

Look, it’s over there.

How did it get there?

The stage is over there.

What’s going on?

Yeah.

How did it get there?

How did he do it?

All right.

Since both of us fall out of the stage,

let’s say you win.

We’ll stage a competition again.

Wang Lu and Liuli fall off the stage together.

According to the rules,

the winner goes to Wang Lu.

Ten times the wager, pay me...

A fighter trains one’s body,

while an immortal trains Tao.

The moment I met you two years ago,

I knew you were a rare Void Magic Root.

However,

your physical strength

was as poor as human beings.

To improve your physical conditions,

I’ve prepared herbal baths for you for 2 years.

Do you know what I’ve done for you?

Given your potential,

even without extra assistance,

you may become an immortal the next year.

As your master,

I don’t ask for returns.

I just hope

that the future can be easy for you.

Maybe sometimes, think of me

the woman behind your success.

Master, I’m so fed up with you.

You’re awake.

Do you feel uncomfortable?

I know you’re good at pretending.

I never expected how fake your show is.

To earn my gratitude,

you hire a showman

and make such a scene.

But your sword is really missing.

You won’t blame it on me, will you?

Now you’ve woken up,

get up and do some excises.

The foolish girl, Liuli

can’t even outwit you.

I thought your Bamboo Sword

is at least a trump.

Turns out it’s just a toy.

An green toy easily made.

I’ve checked the formation down the mountain.

Though they’ve caused targeted destruction,

I found some traces.

Yes.

I’ve made deductions

with the sand table about their recent moves.

Our presumption is right.

Since you all are so sure about it,

let’s do nothing about

those men in black for now.

Hua Yun,

keep close watch on them,

in case they make realistic damage.

Guanhai,

How are Wang Lu and Liuli?

Liuli is OK.

Wu told me

Wang Lu has qualified

to practice the spirit of Wuxiang Sword.

Shang finally has a successor

to his spirit of Wuxiang Sword.

Fang He,

do you have any problem with this?

I’m happy that Shang has someone

as his successor.

But Wang Lu is nothing but another Wang Wu.

He’s too indifferent with rules.

Do you think he is fit to be Shang’s successor?

Fang He,

you’re too hard on Wu.

I’m already agreeable.

All right.

Such being the case,

there’s no need for us

to argue on this matter.

Lu Li,

where is Master Feng Yin?

Well,

he goes to buy a pair of glasses.

Again?

Nice liquor.

You’re so sweet.

What are you doing?

You look sharp.

Liuli fractured your bones.

I thought you’d need a rest for at least 2 or 3 days.

That’s just a few hours.

And you’re almost fully recovered.

Your physical condition is improved.

Wang Wu’s herbal bath

does take effect.

Come on.

All she’s thinking is to get Magic Stones from me.

She barely cares for me.

You know what?

You just missed a big show.

To make me feel she cares,

she faked a sword

and hired a showman as a ghost

to make a scene for me.

But I didn’t buy it.

A wandering soul?

Void Magic Root truly attracts wandering soul.

What is it?

The wandering soul

is a strange creature

trapped in between worlds.

It’s hard to get rid of it.

Once it fouls you,

you’ll lose your mind

and even lose your soul.

Wang Wu’s Bamboo Sword

is made for dispelling evil spirits.

But when it comes to wandering soul,

her sword perishes together with it.

So,

my master just saved me.

Of course.

To be honest,

in these years,

Wang Wu treats you well.

If she hasn’t

made herbal baths at all cost for you,

you wouldn’t have improved your body.

But she knows that disciple’s death

has nothing to do with me.

Why did she ask me to compete with Liuli?

To help you practice the spirit of Wuxiang Sword.

The spirit of Wuxiang Sword?

What is it?

The spirit of Wuxiang Sword is a miraculous magic.

Once you’ve fully trained,

you’re invincible.

But

the training

is the hardest ever.

How do we get trained?

It is to fracture your bones

while you’re unaware of it,

and keep you from knowing

that to be beaten up is for training.

Nonsense.

Are you kidding me?

So,

it was carefully planned.

Exactly.

I know what’s in your mind.

But I’ve accepted you as my disciple.

I’ll focus on your training.

We from Lingjian sect keep our words.

Is it possible that my master

has a kind heart beneath her unreliable behavior?

She does good deeds,

but gives us a feeling that she’s bad.

Is she nuts?

Master.

What?

Now you want to close to me?

I don’t have interest anymore?

Leave me alone.

Master,

I owe all my achievements to you.

It’s OK if you don’t want returns now.

When you do,

come and get it at any time.

A floppy man you are.

Come back when you have 8-pack abs.

Go.

I’ll do as told.

You’re weirdly nice.

There has to be something you want.

What is it?

What did the girl from the inn tell you?

Nothing.

Whatever they say,

you’re the most important person in my mind.

All right.

Since you’ve found out,

just focus on the training.

I’ve looked it up.

The spirit of Wuxaing Sword

is a magic developed

by the first Golden disciple of Lingjian sect.

Well,

what’s his name?

Ou...

Ouyang...

Ouyang Feng.

Ouyang Shang.

Right. Master.

I heard only the gold level disciples

can practice the spirit of Wuxiang Sword.

That’s the old rules.

I’ve improved it.

Now you can practice even in the Transcendency.

But I’m still trying to reach power level.

You’re a Void Magic Root.

If you don’t practice the spirit of Wuxiang Sword,

you can forget about power level or Transcendency.

Technically,

Void Magic Root is the top-notch

of the cultivation community.

You’re so adapted to nimbus

that

it runs away from you while you’re absorbing it.

So you get nothing in the end.

But master,

when can I master the magic?

Maybe three...

Days?

Three thousand six hundred and fifty days.

Ten years!

Master,

you must have some other ways.

Like

upgrade the prescription or something?

Forget about it.

It costs all my savings

for the herbs to enhance efficacy.

You want me to be a prostitute.

That’s impossible.

I heard the disciples

can get monthly allowance.

A thousand Magic Stones kind of.

Who told you this?

We’ve signed non-disclosure agreement.

Are you kidding me?

Master Ao gives Liuli the money each month.

Do you have conscience? Improve the prescription.

Master Feng Yin deducts my money.

You...

What about me?

Not my problem.

You want to drink tea?

I just had a sip.

How do you do?

Hai, Hai,

come with me.

Hai,

follow me.

Lu.

Come in.

I’m sorry.

I didn’t know you were taking a bath.

I’ll wait outside.

I guess you need to improve your power

to cope with assassins from Junhuang Mountain.

This is what my master spends all she has for,

the Power Channel Bath.

It has been upgraded.

The reason I can survive in Liuli’s attach

is the bath I’ve taken for two years.

Don’t hesitate any longer.

Get in.

Hai.

Hai, wake up.

Hai.

Hai.

Hai.

You blacked out in the bathtub.

I wonder what happened.

I blacked out.

Hey, what’s wrong with your body?

Shall we ask my master to have a look?

She seems unreliable, but she’s a good physician.

You said

Master Wang made this description for you?

Is there power in it?

Yes.

In three years of internment at Junhuang Mountain,

he performed some kind of restriction in me.

In these years, it’d been in dormant.

I thought I’d be OK outside Junhuang Mountain.

However, it activates today.

Restriction?

It’s a kind of seals.

Magic practicers use seals

to protect their caves.

Besides, it can be performed on people

to seal off something

from the man’s body.

But it’s far too dangerous.

So,

you’d better not perform it.

You mean

the restriction in your body

was activated by the Power Channel Bath?

The second I got in the bathtub,

I felt like tens of thousands ants

biting on my body.

It’s resisting the magic from Lingjian Mountain.

The pain struck me out.

The pain?

You never made a sound.

You’re a true Scorpio.

Hey,

does Master Hua Yun know about this?

That you’re performed a restriction?

Lingjian Mountain is the hideaway.

In these years, except you,

I’ve never made any contact with others.

She won’t know.

Does it have any influence on your training?

Nothing particularly.

But I may never learn

the magic of Non-phase Peak.

That’s nothing.

You’d better stay in the mountain recently.

I’ll look up tomes in Scripture library

to see if there’s some solution.

Thanks, Lu.

What is it?

From now on,

I’ll teach you everything about the Wuxiang Kungfu.

After two years,

you finally decide to teach me Kungfu.

As you know,

my Wuxiang Kungfu is one of the kind.

The others’ Kungfu

may have their uniqueness.

However,

only the magic of your own can be yours.

Understood.

You have to help yourself.

Master.

There’s only one Gold Core in Lingjian sect.

That’s you.

How can you say such things?

I really admire you.

So?

After 98 modifications,

the Wuxiang Kungfu

is able to protect you, the Void Magic Root.

Do you want to learn it?

Yes.

But, master,

you know it’s been 2 years...
