Chapter 10 Obtaining the Sword
The moon is like water.
Tingtao Courtyard is brightly lit, like daylight.
Under a plum tree on the west side of the courtyard, sword light flashed.
After more than ten dodges, the long sword was returned to Chu Zhiyuan's sheath, and he had finished performing the Great Avalanche Sword Technique.
The water gushing out of his feet was like a whale swallowing water, and his vitality surged up to fill his Dantian.
Then he assumed a strange posture under the tree: his legs were slightly bent, his left hand was stroking and his right hand was pressing, as if hugging something.
It is the Dragon Subduing Stake.
Use the Dragon Subduing Stake to operate the Dragon Transformation Technique, doubling the effectiveness of your practice.
A quarter of an hour later, after the meridians had consumed nine out of ten of the energy in his Dantian, he ran the Earth Element Art again, and his feet gushed with energy from the Earth Whale to fill his Dantian again.
Then continue to stand on the Dragon Subduing Pile to transport the Dragon Transformation Technique.
After an hour, I felt sleepy.
So the Tianyuan Jue was circulated.
Wisps of cool breath fall from the sky and fall into Baihui point. It feels like the brain is immersed in an ice spring. It instantly refreshes and dispels all sleepiness, just like waking up from a deep sleep.
Feeling refreshed, he continued to stand on the Dragon Subduing Pole to perform the Dragon Transformation Technique.
Big Avalanche Sword Technique=》Diyuan Jue=》Hualong Jue=》Diyuan Jue=》Great Avalanche Sword Technique=》Tianyuan Jue.
Over and over again, the cycle continues.
Unknowingly, the morning light appeared.
He had been practicing all night, but he was in high spirits and showed no sign of fatigue.
This night of non-stop hard training was better than the usual ten days of hard training.
The body has the ability to heal itself and restore balance, such as recovering from an injury or rebounding from weight loss.
Most of the time it's a good thing, but everything has pros and cons, and sometimes it's not a good thing.
For those who practice martial arts, the ability to self-heal and restore balance allows them to recover from injuries, but at the same time, it is also the biggest obstacle during practice.
It makes the body like a spring and rubber, preventing external forces from changing itself.
Normal practice requires rest. If you practice for half a day, you have to rest for half a day.
During this half-day of rest, the body's ability to heal itself and return to normal will eliminate most of the results of cultivation, leaving only a fraction of it.
And he practiced non-stop all night long, pushing forward in one go, suppressing the rebound in self-healing and restoring balance, thus retaining more of the results of his training.
Breaking down and building up again is to use the body's self-healing and recovery capabilities to strengthen the body. It is a kind of deception and a shortcut.
Therefore, one night of continuous practice is better than ten days of practice.
He felt that according to this cultivation progress, it would only take a month to master the first level of Dragon Transformation Technique, and then he could start practicing Qi Cleansing Technique and Dragon Binding Cable.
The Qi Cleansing Technique and the Dragon Binding Rope were complicated but easy to achieve, and they were not difficult for him. Finally, he mastered the Jade Lock Golden Pass Technique, breaking through three levels in one go, and entering the innate realm.
——
While the four maids were serving him breakfast, Zou Fang gently handed over a pamphlet and stepped back quietly.
When Chu Zhiyuan walked out after dinner, he read this booklet as he walked.
After flipping through it, he handed it directly to Zou Fang.
Zou Fang gently rubbed her palms together, and it immediately turned into powder, scattering into the soil in the gaps between the green bricks.
Chu Zhiyuan came to the gate of the palace.
At this time, the morning light was first revealed, the lanterns were still on, the streets were quiet, and the noise was faintly coming from a distance.
Yujing is a city that never sleeps, bustling with people day and night.
Guo Chi led eight innate masters, and Feng Xi followed them quietly, protecting Chu Zhiyuan as he walked forward.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled at Feng Xi and said: "No wonder you are so confident. This Zhongsi Master is actually the direct disciple of the Palace Master of Baiyun Sword Palace."
Feng Xidao: "Chief Jiang is a direct disciple of Grand Master Ye Menghuan, and he is destined to be a Grand Master too."
"Sigh... I am a disciple of the Grand Master. Speaking of which, I can also be considered a disciple of the Grand Master." Chu Zhiyuan said.
Feng Xi smiled and said: "Grandmaster Ye only has one direct disciple, who is the future master of Baiyun Sword Palace, and can now be called the young palace master."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Chu Qingfeng is responsible for teaching these heirs and princes, but he is different from the master of the martial arts sect.
The relationship between master and son in the martial arts sect is better than that between father and son, but Chu Qingfeng's relationship with these heirs and princes is far less close.
"Your Majesty, I will urge you again today."
"No rush." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "This is deliberately to avoid suspicion. Besides, it only makes people laugh and be looked down upon."
Prince Qing's Mansion has always been deserted, and no one came to the door because the situation was unclear.
After all, after being sealed for thirty years, just like a criminal who has just been released from prison, everyone will have scruples. If you contact him rashly, you may get into trouble. If you can't help it, you won't.
Feng Xi went to ask for an audience. The head of the Central Division must have known that saying that he needed to pay his respects in advance was both a rule and an excuse for not wanting to see him.
Prince Qing's Mansion is the prince's palace. Under normal circumstances, you can make exceptions and jump in line. This is the prerogative of the royal family.
An ordinary official would have to see him even if he didn't want to see him, but the chief of the Central Division was so confident that he would see him if he didn't want to see him.
If Feng Xi is sent there again, it will be equivalent to stalking him. Even if he can barely see the Zhongsi Master, it will lose the face of Prince Qing's palace.
Sometimes face is not that important, but sometimes it is very important, especially for the palace, it is dignity, status and reputation.
If your reputation becomes bad, you will be completely isolated, and the environment will become even more difficult, even more difficult than it is now. ——
In the morning light, there were only two people standing motionless on the Ziyang Zhuang on the martial arts training field.
One is tall and strong, the other is slender and tall.
When the sun rises and the purple energy comes from the east, it is the best time to practice the Little Purple Sun Technique.
Chu Zhiyuan came to the two of them, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Ninth brother and tenth brother, it's early enough."
The two opened their eyes, clasped their fists and shouted "Fourth Brother."
Chu Zhiyuan could hear that "fourth brother" was sincere and no longer so reluctant.
This is the way of the world, the strong are respected.
Then he smiled and said: "Ninth and tenth brothers, do you know the chief of Zhenwu Division?"
"Master Jiang?" Chu Zhiting nodded: "Fourth brother has never seen this Master Jiang, right?"
"It's a fate."
"This Chief Jiang is the only direct disciple of Grand Master Ye Menghuan, and he is destined to become a Grand Master."
"Ninth Brother, have you seen him?"
"I met him twice. He is a very nice person and very kind."
"Chi!"
The two turned to look.
Chu Zhichuan's handsome face was suppressing the smile.
"Old Shi, why are you laughing?"
"I laugh at Brother Jiu, you are naive." Chu Zhichuan sneered: "Amicable? You actually think Jiang Qiuge is friendly, hey!"
Chu Zhiting frowned.
Chu Zhichuan hummed: "This Chief Jiang is very arrogant and doesn't take us seriously at all. The so-called kindness is just wearing a mask."
Chu Zhiting said: "Tenth brother, you are too harsh. You don't care about your heart. No matter what he thinks, it depends on what he does."
"You can see the arrogance at a glance, Ninth Brother, you are too slow!" Chu Zhichuan sneered: "What about the future master of Baiyun Sword Palace? What about the Grand Master? What is there to be arrogant about! We are The grandson of the emperor’s grandfather is of the Chu family’s blood!”
Chu Zhiting shook his head: "The Grand Master is qualified to be arrogant."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Tenth brother, apart from being arrogant, what is the character of Chief Jiang?"
"...There are no flaws. He is arrogant and hypocritical, but he is well disguised. There is nothing to criticize." Chu Zhichuan snorted.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.
If this is the case, then Director Jiang will probably meet him once and he will not directly deny Prince Qing's face, but will maintain superficial respect.
While the three of them were talking, others arrived one after another. After saying hello, they got into position and practiced the Little Ziyang Technique.
The last eighteenth prince to arrive, Chu Mingxuan, was wearing a sword on his left waist and a sword on his right waist.
When he arrived in front of Chu Zhiyuan, he took off the long sword from his waist and the scabbard and threw it away: "Old Si, it's yours!"
"Thank you, Uncle Eighteen."
Chu Zhiyuan took it with a smile and lowered his head to measure the long sword.
The dark green scabbard is covered with vine patterns, like countless vines wrapped around it, and the atmosphere of simplicity and vicissitudes of life rushes towards the face.
The silver sword has faint cloud patterns, silver light flowing, and a faint sense of luxury.
The long sword was slowly unsheathed. The sword's blade was as bright as a stream of autumn water. Wisps of cold light shone on the blade, and the cold air spread quickly.
Chu Zhiyuan held the sword secret with his left hand and gently stroked the sword body, feeling the coldness, hardness, and flexibility. He felt an inexplicable calmness, and his mind seemed to calm down quickly, and his mind was calm and peaceful.
Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.
This is a little weird.
He has a sharp knife in his heart and a murderous intention.
This is both the nature of weapons and human nature. When weapons are in harmony with people, they will stimulate violent impulses deep in their hearts.
But touching the blade is just the opposite.
Once a martial arts practitioner starts to fight with others, adrenaline will immediately be secreted, they will become excited and their blood will boil.
This situation has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that being so excited makes you fearless, unaware of pain, and unconcerned about your own safety.
The disadvantage is that the mind inevitably loses its calmness and rationality. Most of the time, people act based on instinct. Instead of doing something after thinking about it, the body gets ahead of the brain.
This sword can calm the mind and the person holding the sword can stay calm and think during the fight. This alone is worthy of the name of the sword.
He looked up and smiled: "What a sword!"
Chu Mingxuan said: "I haven't figured out what the mystery of this sword is. Fourth, you can research it yourself."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.
Even if no other mystery can be found through research, just the fact that it can calm the mind and calm the mind is already an extremely rare sword.
He held the sword secret in his left hand and stroked the sword several times before reluctantly returning the sword to its sheath.
There are too many people now, so it is not suitable to study it in detail. It is not too late to study it slowly after returning to the palace.
