Today, I will introduce the side quests before the Sword Appraisal Conference in "Elegance of Swordsmanship". The side quests before the Sword Appraisal Conference unfold like a long scroll of the Jianghu (martial arts world), presenting the rich and detailed game world of "Elegance of Swordsmanship". From accumulating contributions to the sect to outwitting and fighting against the evil forces of the Jianghu, every task is closely connected, jointly driving the development of the plot and laying a solid foundation for the key main storyline of the Sword Appraisal Conference. Let's take a look together.

Everything starts with the promotion to an elite disciple. Players need to accumulate enough contribution points through daily sect affairs. After meeting the promotion conditions, they should seek advice from Elder Yuantong in the sect and complete the promotion ceremony to officially become an elite disciple. This identity is the basis for starting the subsequent processes related to the Sword Appraisal Conference. After the promotion, players need to go to the Sword Testing Platform within the sect, talk to Senior Brother Yuanqi, and complete the registration procedures for the Sword Appraisal Conference, confirming their participation in this grand event. The next day, the sect's major competition arrives as scheduled, and players need to demonstrate their strength. This is not only a test of their martial skills but also an important warm-up before the Sword Appraisal Conference.

As the plot progresses with events such as the sect's major competition, side quests related to the evil forces of the Jianghu gradually unfold. One night, a mysterious smoke suddenly fills the player's room. Upon noticing something amiss, Bao Min, one of the Four Evils, appears, and a fierce battle ensues. The player must rely on their martial arts and combat skills to respond until they are exhausted and fall. This encounter lays the groundwork for future confrontations with the evil forces.

On the way to the Famous Sword Manor, numerous side quests add more story elements to the journey. Following Yuwen Yi's advice, the player and their companions head to Wutong Village, where they pay respects at the grave of Master Jiang. They learn about Xiaotong from the villagers, providing clues for potential future plot developments. On the road to Gusu City, Du Biao, one of the Four Evils, suddenly appears to block the way, leading to an inevitable battle. After winning, the group heads to an inn to rest. There, they coincidentally meet two Shaolin monks, and a brief exchange adds a touch of chance encounters in the Jianghu to the journey. However, the peace does not last long. Late at night, the player's room in the inn is again invaded by the mysterious smoke. It turns out that Du Biao has launched another sneak attack. The player quickly rises to fight, defeating Du Biao and pursuing him. During the pursuit, they encounter Bao Min, one of the Four Evils, and after a fierce battle, the evildoers retreat when they realize they cannot gain the upper hand. Yuwen Yi collapses from exhaustion, and the group then formally enters the Sword Appraisal Conference quest.

The introduction to the side quests before the Sword Appraisal Conference in "Elegance of Swordsmanship" is now complete. After a series of twists and battles, the plot naturally progresses to the Famous Sword Manor. By this point, the player has completed all the necessary preparations and formally steps into the territory of the Famous Sword Manor, with the curtain of the Sword Appraisal Conference being raised.
