"Huh...... Xiao is used to wandering, and I can only live up to the emperor's kindness. ”

This is the answer given by Xiao Yuchen. He didn't really like to be bound by imperial power, and freedom had become a part of him and inseparable.

"So...... Okay then......" Nie Junhe wasn't ready to force anything.

"But...... I heard that the emperor has the intention of conquering Longyang Kingdom?" Xiao Yuchen couldn't help but say, "If the emperor plans to conquer Longyang Kingdom in the future, at that time, Xiao should be willing to listen to the dispatch. ”

"Oh, you also have something to do with Longyang Kingdom?"

"What Xiao is most unaccustomed to is the indiscriminate killing of civilians by martial artists, all the way to Wanhuang City, I don't know how many things such as the Blazing Fire Hall have been done, and the schemes are more vicious than the other. The bloody scenes of that scene are still vivid, and Xiao Yuchen has already made an oath that he will kill all the thieves of the Blazing Fire Palace.

Nie Junhe couldn't help but appreciate Xiao Yuchen a little more, "Since this is the case, the emperor will not force you to stay, later, someone will give you the knife, you can rest in peace, if there is anything else, just say it directly." ”

Xiao Yuchen thanked him and left under the guidance of the attendant.

On the way back, he kept regretting why he didn't say a specific number and let the emperor take advantage of the loophole.

"Eh, aren't you the swordsman?"

A surprised female voice came from the side, Xiao Yuchen turned his eyes and saw a man and a woman walking towards him.

"Uh...... Who are you?"

"In the Lower Heaven Sword Sect, Ning Qi'er! This is my senior brother, Zhang Yi. ”

Xiao Yuchen bowed slightly, "Xiao Yuchen." ”

"The surname is Xiao...... Could it be that you belong to the Sword King Pavilion?" Ning Qi'er couldn't help asking, and Zhang Yi was also a little curious.

The Sword King Pavilion is one of the four major sects of the Heavenly Sect, and the other three are the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Phantom Night Villa, and the Forgetting Pole Gate. Among them, Xiao Yuchen stayed in the Forgotten Gate for a while, and he was very familiar.

"I'm not from the Sword King Pavilion, but why do you ask that?" Xiao Yuchen asked inexplicably.

The three of them walked side by side, and Ning Qi'er, who had always talked a lot, explained: "The Sword King Pavilion is divided into two pavilions, the inner and outer pavilions, and the cabinet is only accessible to the Xiao family. And your kendo is so powerful, that's why I misunderstood you. ”

"So that's the case...... Xiao Yuchen realized and smiled dumbly, "It's no coincidence." ”

The three of them chatted while walking, and walked around the garden in the palace, in order to help Ning Qi'er enlighten her mood in the past few days, Zhang Yi took her here a lot, and she was already familiar with the road at this time.

"I can't imagine that Ling Zun is so short-tempered?" Xiao Yuchen couldn't help but feel stunned after listening to Ning Qi'er's complaints.

I saw Zhang Yi ruthlessly piercing it, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, don't listen to her nonsense, the little junior sister has made a mistake, and it has always been us senior brothers who have been punished, when has she been punished, at most she has been taught a lesson by the sect master." ”

"Senior brother, you don't save face for me. ”

Ning Qi'er puffed out her face, reached out and grabbed a handful of snow, pinched it into a ball in her hand, threw it out hard, and smashed it on the strange-shaped rockery accurately.

"Eh-" Ning Qi'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said to the two of them with a radiant look, "Let's have a snowball fight, shall we?"

Zhang Yi frowned, "How adult......"

After about half a burnt incense, Xiao Yuchen sat quietly in the long pavilion, crying and laughing as he watched the two have a snowball fight.

Bang, bang!

"Damn, senior brother eats me this trick!"

Suddenly, Ning Qi'er's hand shadow seemed to have a hundred ways, dazzling and difficult to distinguish. Xiao Yuchen's eyes lit up, this little girl looked unreliable, and she couldn't imagine that she had real kung fu.

"Little junior sister, you actually use a thousand shadows as a drunken secret!" Zhang Yi gritted his teeth, it was a top-grade martial arts, and the little junior sister had also practiced it to the point of perfection, where could he hold it, after a few waves, he was covered with snow, and hurriedly raised his hand to surrender.

In the world's martial arts, there are three grades, and in each grade, there is a top.

The Thousand Shadows Drunkenness Recipe is the foundation of the Heavenly Sword Sect's inheritance, but in terms of teaching, it is very different from other sects. As long as you are a disciple of the sect and have made a certain contribution to the sect, you can study this martial arts, but over the years, there are very few people who have practiced to the second of the four realms of martial arts, and a genius like Ning Qi'er who has reached the realm of perfection in the third realm is really rare in a hundred years.

"Hmph, do you know how good I am?"

Ning Qi'er returned to the long pavilion triumphantly, and behind her, Zhang Yi patted off the snow all over her body as she walked, embarrassed.

"By the way, Brother Xiao, why are you so amazing in your sword path, but your own cultivation is stagnant?" Ning Qi'er asked with a big grin, Zhang Yi was speechless, poking at someone's sore spot like this, the little junior sister is really getting more and more disagreeable.

Xiao Yuchen chuckled: "It's just that the exercises were chosen late." ”

"Huh, how late is that!" Zhang Yizheng wanted to stop Ning Qi'er from continuing, but Ning Qi'er avoided him with a thousand shadows as a drunken trick, and fell short. However, Zhang Yi also raised his eyes curiously, it stands to reason that at the age of twelve, he should choose exercises to cultivate, otherwise it would be a great move to communicate the aura of heaven and earth with his own body.

"I can't hide it, I encountered some accidents when I was a teenager, and besides, I am a wanderer, where can I find any good exercises. Xiao Yuchen said with a wry smile, his eyes falling on the flying snow falling from the sky.

Ning Qi'er's eyes lit up, and she said heartily: "Then why don't you join our Heavenly Sword Sect? We have a lot of Heavenly Sword Sect exercises! I'll ask my father to get it for you." ”

Zhang Yi coughed violently, and pulled Ning Qi'er behind him with an unnatural expression, how dare this little junior sister say anything, the sect master is deeply jealous of swordsmen, you pull a swordsman to the sect, do you think that I have lived too long, senior brother?

Xiao Yuchen shook his head, smiled and declined, Zhang Yicai was relieved, seeing that Ning Qi'er wanted to say something, he glanced at her fiercely, and the latter couldn't help but hang his head.

"However, I'm a little confused about the True Source Realm, and I'm tired of the two of you to solve my doubts. ”

"It seems that Brother Xiao is about to break through?" Zhang Yi looked at it and said with a smile.

Xiao Yuchen smiled faintly, Ning Qi'er came out, patted Xiao Yuchen on the shoulder, and said, "If you have any questions, just ask my senior brother, he is the number one martial arts genius of our Heavenly Sword Sect, and he has broken the True Source Realm at the age of sixteen!"

"Oh?" Xiao Yuchen's expression showed a hint of surprise, at the age of sixteen, he broke through the True Source Realm, and this chapter is so easy that he can really be regarded as a martial arts genius.

"It's just that the knife path is too lame. Ning Qi'er added.

The corners of Zhang Yi's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Ning Qi'er angrily, is this praising or belittling him? Retracting his gaze, Zhang Yi said to Xiao Yuchen: "Brother Xiao has a question, but it doesn't hurt to ask, I have tried my best to answer." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the meaning of the True Source Realm is to condense the source vortex in the dantian, but isn't this source vortex just changing the state of the Qi Sea, how is it different from the Qi Transformation Realm?" Xiao Yuchen said the confusion in his heart. This question has been bothering him for many days.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi pondered for a while, and then said: "Brother Xiao's understanding of the source vortex is a bit one-sided, the meaning of the source is the root, which refers to the root of the human body, and the meaning of the vortex is spinning, and the spinning is the root. If the source vortex is condensed, the true qi will no longer be ordinary true qi, and will undergo a qualitative change, with the root of human beings as the center, and the human being as one. If the method of refining qi in the Qi Transformation Realm is counted as the first refining, then the True Source Realm is the second refining. ”

After Xiao Yuchen listened, he couldn't help but pause, and his eyes gradually became clearer.

In other words, the gap between the Transformation Qi Realm and the True Source Realm can be reflected in every wisp of True Qi, no wonder there is a gap between the Transformation Qi Realm and the True Source Realm. But...... Since it is possible to condense the source vortex with the root of human beings as a spiral, then ......"

"Perhaps...... That's okay?"

Xiao Yuchen muttered to himself uncertainly, pacing around the long pavilion, Zhang Yi and Ning Qi'er were confused, and they didn't know why.

A stick of incense passed quietly.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuchen's footsteps stopped, he arched his hand towards the two, and said with a bright gaze: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, I will have a long talk with the two of you in the future, and Xiao will leave first!"

Zhang Yi and Ning Qi'er also hugged their fists, and when they looked up, Xiao Yuchen had already left the long pavilion and braved the heavy snow.

Zhang Yi looked at the back, "This person is extraordinary." ”

Ning Qi'er nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "yes, I think so too." ”

"You know. ”

Zhang Yi was speechless and turned away, Ning Qi'er stuck her waist, glared, and hurriedly followed him.

......

Back in the palace pavilion, Xiao Yuchen immediately sat on the bed and meditated.

Within the dantian, the sea of qi is condensed, it has swelled to the extreme, and it can no longer be expanded, it is obvious that it has reached a critical point, and there is only a breakthrough.

But at this moment, his body is not enough to break through, not to mention the failure of the condensation source vortex, even if he succeeds in condensing, the subsequent breakthrough shackles will make his body greatly damaged and unable to support it.

Xiao Yuchen's brows tightened, and the true qi in the dantian rolled to both sides with his urging, but it was only separated for a moment, and then it was closed together again.

"Isn't it possible?"

He didn't believe it, and he wanted to test that idea.

He parted them once more, and the sea of qi gathered again.

"Source Vortex...... The root of the spiral...... That's right!

Xiao Yuchen's eyes were shocked, he suddenly came to his senses, and smashed a sword qi into the dantian.

This is undoubtedly taking a risk, if anyone knows Xiao Yuchen's behavior at this moment, he will definitely open his mouth and look at him like an idiot.

Dantian is the foundation of a martial artist, and if he hits his sharp qi into it, an accident will cause immeasurable damage, even so, Xiao Yuchen still doesn't care about it at all, this is his trust in his sword.

With that sword qi as the center, he began to peel off the true qi in the sea of qi again, and this time it was successful, but although those true qi were stripped out, they did not revolve around the sword qi according to Xiao Yuchen's wishes.

"How could it be...... Isn't that enough?"

He fed in ten sword qi again, merging with the previous one and condensing into one sword qi. Then, as before, strip off the true qi and drive it to rotate.

"It worked...... Wrong...... Alas......"

Xiao Yuchen sighed in his heart, the whirlpool around the sword qi had just taken shape, and before it even rotated, it suddenly separated and returned to the sea of qi.

"Could it be that what I thought at the beginning was wrong?" Xiao Yuchen smiled bitterly in his heart, "That's right, it's really a crazy idea to condense the source vortex without taking people as the foundation, but using the sword as the foundation...... I can't figure it out, the gap between this sword and people is so big......"

"Gap ......" Xiao Yuchen's body shook suddenly, "Will it ...... Is it because this sword qi is not at the level of enough for the true qi to surge?"

His attention was focused on the purple sword qi that protected his heart, which had been completely closed when he had condensed the sword seed at the beginning, and he had therefore fallen from the realm of the sword heart to the innate perfection of the sword intent.

And at this moment, a total of thirty-six purple sword phantoms were swimming in the meridians around the heart, as if guarding the sword species.

These are all the transformations formed by the condensation of sword intent to the extreme, and any one of them is enough to crush a True Source Realm Nine Heavens Peak at will, just because of this one, the power condensed is more than a hundred times that of ordinary sword qi.

It's a pity that somehow, since condensing these sword intent transformations, he can't move at all, which makes him extremely crazy, and when he condenses the sword species, there is no possibility.

He was sure that if any of the thirty-six purple transformations were to serve as the source of the source vortex, it would definitely be more than enough!

"Give it a try!"

Xiao Yuchen was still lucky, and he tried to urge one of the thirty-six identical sword shadows.

A whole hour passed.

Xiao Yuchen's face was gloomy, angry and helpless, he gave up completely, these thirty-six sword shadows are simply a Buddha in his body, they can only be offered, and it is simply impossible to summon them. He was tired and half-dead, and these sword shadows even slightly attacked his aura, which made Xiao Yuchen angry.

The feeling in his heart is not to mention how much it is blocked, why did he condense these thirty-six sword intent transformations in the first place?

"That's it, let's give up for now. ”

He could only dispel the idea of condensing the source vortex of the sword, after all, there were only the thirty-six sword intent transformations in his body, but he urged him not to move, and he was afraid that he would have to develop a heart disease if he thought about it again.

"But...... Why didn't that woman bring me medicine today?"

Xiao Yuchen woke up from his meditation and rubbed his chin in confusion, could it be that I scared her by the roar the day before yesterday and didn't dare to come? But he thought about it, it's not right, Zi Liangyun came here yesterday, it doesn't look like he was thinking about the day before yesterday......

Thinking of the events of the day before yesterday, Xiao Yuchen was also helpless in his heart, he was falling into the whirlpool of the past, Zi Liangyun suddenly came to such a sentence, which just caused him to be full of anger, and he couldn't stop yelling at her, but no matter how you look at it, it is actually all his fault.

"Well...... Anyway, now I only need to recuperate for a few more days, and I don't need the assistance of medicine too much. ”

Xiao Yuchen didn't bother to think about it, so he simply lay down and fell asleep......

————————————————

The Thirteenth Princess's Mansion, a fragrant and elegant room, is littered with white plum petals.

"Go, don't go...... Go, don't go......"

Zi Liangyun held the plum branch in her hand, plucked the petals one by one, and muttered a sentence for each piece.

When the petals were finally picked, she was stunned, "Go?"

She glanced at the food box beside her, which contained the medicine she had boiled herself, and suddenly gritted her teeth and folded the plum branch in two.

"Hmph, after serving him for so many days, I don't owe him anything!"

After muttering to herself, she threw the plum branch on the ground.
