Chapter Fifty-Eight: Edgeworth's Basics

It was almost dusk and Dao Ran still didn't appear, Lan Chengyu was a little puzzled, according to the previous practice, Dao Ran should appear on time.

Could it be that his special training is over! He is going to walk out of the snowy mountain! Lan Chengyu shook his head, this kind of speculation is probably impossible.

The internal strength of the Taiyi Sword Technique, the Heart Flange Chengyu, has been cultivated to the ninth layer of skill, and with the increase of the true qi value, the cultivation of the tenth layer of the Heart Method will come naturally.

At this moment, he sat by the lake and took out the sword book of the Bagua Demon Sword Technique for the first time to read and study, this quaint handwritten version of the sword book has a sense of the vicissitudes of time condensation.

Bagua Demon Suppression Swordsmanship

The first type: a sword to set the mountains and rivers with gold, and the ups and downs become a trend to keep peace,

The second formula: Qianjin Ping refers to the righteous qi, and the sword refers to the condensation of the qi into a river,

The third type: the Kanshui lotus is endless, and the air is like waves.

The fourth type: Gentu Jianshan Imperial Thousand Army, strong as the mountain majestic and angry,

Fifth style: The shaking wood sword flashes like thunder, and the heart is like a cloud surging in the sky,

Sixth style: Xunmu sword sweeps the wind, the heart is like the autumn wind and the meaning is like water,

Seventh style: The phoenix dance in the fire sword, the nine days are full of anger,

The eighth style: The Kuntu sword is silent, and everything is quiet in the heart.

Lan Chengyu took a closer look at these eight sword moves, and found that not only were the sword moves unrelated, but also the order of cultivation was not related, they were determined according to the direction of the gossip, each sword move was independent, and could be combined with each other according to the method of the five elements, not only could it be cultivated alone, but also many people could unite to form the Bagua Sword Array.

After thinking about it carefully, he had two kinds of true qi in his body at the moment, water and wood, and since the sword moves were independent and there was no cultivation order, it was most appropriate for him to cultivate the Kanshui Sword, Zhenmu Sword or Xunmu Sword first at this time.

Lan Chengyu decided to try the Kanshui Sword first, so he carefully looked at the sword score of the Kanshui Sword, and after reading it, it was already dark, put away the sword book, Lan Chengyu shook his head, he didn't understand!

I got up and tried to practice it, but I didn't understand it anymore. The Kanshui Sword only has one move, and it is so plain and unremarkable that it has no power at all! The offense and defense are completely unsuccessful.

At this moment, Dao Ran came with a gust of wind, and his laughter was heard from afar.

"You didn't learn this kind of demon swordsmanship!"

Lan Chengyu put away his sword, "Mentor, you're finally back." This gossip demon sword is so strange, I am a little puzzled that this move just appeared out of thin air, I feel that there is no beginning and no tail, how to practice this. ”

"This set of swordsmanship belongs to the art of the fairy sword, care but not in the form, first cultivate the true qi inside, and then cultivate the sword moves outside, the most important thing is to stimulate the sword qi, to practice this sword qi is not good for some time, and the most important thing is to learn this set of swordsmanship must first know the sword. Dao Ran smiled.

"Edgeworth!" Lan Chengyu said in surprise.

"It's Edgeworth, there is a faint flash of spiritual power on your Qingfeng Sword, it must be the spiritual weapon that the tree spirit has refined for you, and it is very suitable to use it as a weapon for the entry of Edgeworth. Dao Ran said.

Lan Chengyu raised the sword in his hand and glanced at it, the cyan light was still faintly visible, "Please also ask the mentor for guidance." ”

Dao Ran nodded, "There is still more than a month to go, and you still have two tasks to complete, so we will stay here for an extra 15 days, and I will introduce you to Edgeworth, and the remaining one month should be enough for you." ”

"Mentor, the physical fitness standard is close at hand, but how to complete this million deposits?" Lan Chengyu asked.

"You have three superpowers, don't waste them, a month is enough. Dao Ran only said this, and did not help Lan Chengyu answer the question.

For the next fifteen days, Dao Ran took Lan Chengyu to practice swordsmanship in the valley, starting from the beginning of the sword, and never stopped every day from early morning to late at night.

Dao Ran did not teach Lan Chengyu any sword moves, but taught the basics of swordsmanship, and practiced the simplest slashing, splitting, and stabbing every day...... Wait.

It's more about letting him comprehend the true meaning of kendo in every action, and the induction of human, sword, and qi is one.

Dao Ran taught by word and deed every day, and taught Lan Chengyu all the basics of swordsmanship, and Lan Chengyu could only memorize it, as for comprehension and cultivation, it could only be achieved by diligent study and hard practice.

Unconsciously, half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Lan Chengyu's imperial sword had not yet shown signs of entry.

"The extraordinary art of the sword, you can only get started by practicing diligently, and the human sword is one, and you are not in a hurry. Dao Ran said.

"Mentor, is the disciple too stupid!" Lan Chengyu said with some discouragement.

"Don't be presumptuous, how can the sword spell be so easy to learn, if it can be practiced in ten days and half a month, will it still have such great power? I followed the master for a year to learn the sword of the spirit weapon, you have only been a few days, besides, your sword is also a high-grade spirit sword, practice slowly!" Dao Ran said.

"Remember what your teacher taught. Lan Chengyu said.

"Alright, it's almost time, you can go out of the valley with me. Dao Ran said.

After Dao Ran finished speaking, he still took Lan Chengyu to rise in the clouds, and two hours later, they had already arrived at the mountain peak near the ancient city of Lijiang.

"Okay, you and I will say goodbye, the breathing exercise and the sword spell must be practiced every day, see you on the day of selection. Dao Ran said.

"Mentor, where are you going? Why don't you stay and guide the disciples, seeing that the selection date is approaching. Lan Chengyu said.

"I'm a little ashamed to be your mentor, the war on the front line is urgent, I can only take a break to see you, a big battle is coming, I must rush back. Dao Ran said.

"Where is the war?" Lan Chengyu asked, in a time of peace, war was a distant thing for him.

"In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will take you to see the battlefield where the immortals and demons are fighting. Dao Ran took out a bottle of elixir and handed it to Lan Chengyu, "This is the Cold Ice Jade Dew Pill I refined in the Elixir Valley, it can be used to cure ordinary internal and external injuries, it can be regarded as my personal gift to you." ”

Lan Chengyu took it with both hands, and he could feel a cold aura coming from the pill through the jade bottle, "Thank you, mentor." ”

"Remember, you must not tell others that you can condense the true qi of the five elements, otherwise you may be killed. After Dao Ran finished speaking, he turned into a white shadow and flew out of the sky.

Lan Chengyu nodded in agreement and looked at the sky. In the past few days, I have been getting along with Dao Ran, and I feel that although he is strict, he is patient and careful in teaching exercises and swordsmanship, and he has a lot of research on food, Lan Chengyu has followed him a lot of feasts, and he can be called a strict and loving mentor.

After Dao Ran left, Lan Chengyu entered the ancient city of Lijiang, found an inn to live in, took out the phoenix spirit jade pendant to check the progress of the task, and a screen appeared.

Selection Quest Progress:

1. Outstanding deposit amount !! million deposits: RMB 55,798.50;

2. True Qi condensation is completed!! current true qi value is 396;

3. The physical fitness value is not up to standard!!

Physical Fitness Score: Strength: 65, Speed: 55, Coordination: 60, Agility 50, Endurance 65, Overall Score: 295.

Time remaining to complete the mission: 44 days, 8 hours, 25 minutes and 43 seconds

Lan Chengyu found that since the successful Qi gathering, the cultivation speed of True Qi seemed to have reached another height, and the growth rate was at least ten times that of the previous one.

And the cultivation of physical fitness is also much faster, especially after cultivating Edgeworth. Now the most important thing is how to complete the task of millions of deposits.

After thinking about it for a long time in the inn and having no clue, he picked up a magazine on the table and flipped through it, and after reading an article about the introduction of jade, Lan Chengyu had a flash of inspiration, the rough stone trading in this jade business may be his way to earn millions of deposits in a short time, and he can gamble on stones.

Thinking of this, Lan Chengyu was excited, his perspective eye had reached level 2, and it was very simple to see through a piece of jade, but he didn't understand the quality of jade, and he couldn't see through but not understand jade.

The next morning, Lan Chengyu went to the bookstore to buy a bunch of books on the introduction of jade, and with his unforgettable skills and speed, it was quite easy to learn how to distinguish jade.

When he arrived in Tengchong by long-distance bus, he had learned a lot about jade, and theoretically he should be able to distinguish ordinary jade.

When I arrived at Tengchong Lan Chengyu, I found a hotel to live in, and I was going to go to the jade market tomorrow to have a look, and I still had 50,000 yuan on me to see if I could make the first money quickly.

The next day, Lan Chengyu came to the jade trading market with excitement, and the scene here surprised him, the whole market was full of large and small stones, some were placed on the stage, some were placed on the ground, the small ones were the size of birds' eggs, and the big ones were one person high.

It's almost the same as a wet market, but instead of vegetables, it sells stones, and prices range from tens to millions.

Lan Chengyu turned around for a long time and found that there are probably several kinds of stones here, some of which have been cut out of jade, called Ming Material, you can clearly see the raw materials of jadeite, this kind of asking price is generally very high, but it is also the least risky, as long as you can identify the quality will not lose money.

There is also a large or small piece of the stone skin of the rough stone, and you can see a part of the jade raw material inside, and the price of this raw stone varies according to the situation of the cut part.

There is also a kind of stone skin that is intact, without any cutting and polishing, and looks like ordinary stone, which is relatively cheap, but there are some special rough stones that are very expensive.

Lan Chengyu didn't know much about gambling stones, and on the surface, he couldn't see what the value of these rough stones was, but he didn't plan to know too much, he only needed to earn one million in a month.

After walking around the market, I chose a relatively large stall, which sold a lot of stones, and most of them were raw ore that had not been opened at all, and there was a machine used to open stones next to it.

There were a lot of customers, a few regular customers were talking to the boss, and the others were all looking around the stone they fancied.

Lan Chengyu stood on the side and didn't touch the stones, but it was quite like a lively watcher.

The perspective eye opened, Lan Chengyu carefully looked at the large and small stones in the store, and after turning around, he already knew the situation of the stones in the store.
