Chapter 106: The Broken Sword Continues
They came to the heights they had before. There, with a great view, an elaborate four-corner pavilion was built.
The rain stopped very early.
Breezy and sunny day. Sitting in the pavilion, you can overlook the entire huge martial arts arena. It's empty and calm, and there's still no one. Among them was the one they had just tried their hand at the sword.
Looking into the distance, the mountains are undulating, and the eyes are full of spring beauty. There are wind leaves and birdsong in your ears.
"Brother Lu won this game again. ”
Chu Shaoqiu shook his head and smiled, brushing his sleeves and dispersing the chess game on the stone table. He rolled up his sleeves and poured two more glasses of wine.
Lu Qiming picked up this small white jade cup and saw that the refreshing and clear wine showed a fine color in the light. The aroma lingers in the cup.
Preservation of true immortal wine, even in the realm of the gods, is also a famous wine with a high reputation. It contains so much spiritual energy that this pot alone is enough for an ordinary person to become a martial artist - of course, this is only the total amount of spiritual energy. Similar to this kind of spiritual wine, people with low cultivation will never be able to drink it.
For Lu Qiming and Chu Shaoqiu, it doesn't matter.
Take a sip of it, it's a light and soft wine. But it is not light, the entrance is sweet and pure, and the tail fragrance is clean and long.
However, since it is a spirit wine, there are many differences in the selection of materials from ordinary wines.
"It's complicated. Lu Qiming thought secretly. It should be that there are too many discussions about pharmacology with the master these days, and even when he tastes the wine, he can't help but think of a long article of the names of the raw materials, and at a glance he knows that it takes at least a full-fledged alchemist of the fifth grade to make it.
The most difficult thing is that when brewing, the taste of most spiritual materials should be eliminated, and only the sweet aroma of wine and a medicinal herb called "green plum blossom" should be retained.
Chu Shaoqiu saw Lu Qiming's wandering object, and asked with a smile, "What is Brother Lu thinking?"
The white jade cup slowly rotated at his fingertips, and Lu Qiming smiled slightly: "I'm calculating the refining method of this wine." "It's not too difficult for him to keep the materials of the True Immortal Brew, but it contains an abundance of spiritual energy. In addition, this wine is not strong, and refining it more can make the progress of cultivation a little faster.
Chu Shaoqiu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Does Brother Lu also study the art of alchemy?" What he originally wanted to ask was that the Feng clan actually practiced medicine?
It should be said that in addition to the human race, the spirit race, the demon race, and so on do not need potions much. Those strong elixirs that the human body's body could not withstand, they could take it directly, and there was no need to refine it to be gentle. Although alchemy is becoming more and more prosperous nowadays, and the effect of potions is enough for them to face up, it seems that they really don't have the talent for alchemy?
Lu Qiming nodded and smiled: "Recently, I have been learning to refine medicine. ”
"Brother Lu has a wide range of knowledge. Chu Shaoqiu sighed with emotion and said, "However, for this true immortal brew, Brother Lu doesn't have to trouble himself." I have a lot of stock here, if Brother Lu needs it, just take it. I can't help it, it should be enough for Brother Lu to cultivate to the Great Zhou Tian. ”
Lu Qiming was slightly stunned, and then thought of the first meeting between the two -- I couldn't tell that he was such a good drinker? I just didn't know how much he drank.
"I understand Brother Chu's kindness," Lu Qiming smiled slightly bitterly and sighed: "My situation is a bit special, and the spiritual power consumed at each level is nearly ten times more than normal. It's okay to say now, as for the big week...... I'm also thinking of ways to do it. ”
"What's ......" Chu Shaoqiu paused halfway through speaking, thinking of the physical strength that his mortal body could not reach, and said with a smile: "I see, but it's also 'worth the money'." ”
Lu Qiming smiled and nodded in agreement. If it weren't for this, how could he have outperformed Xiao Zhou Tian with his physical strength alone?
"In this case, Big Zhou Tian is indeed not enough, but Xiao Zhou Tian is always okay with the middle level, right? Chu Shaoqiu said, filling another glass of wine.
Lu Qiming hesitated slightly and thanked him, but did not refuse again. Just listening to Chu Shaoqiu's meaning, it seems that he is preparing for this day...... Just drank it all?
Lu Qiming said: "This wine, really won't get drunk?"
"Probably not. I have never been drunk since I drank it. Chu Shaoqiu paused and explained, "I've never been very good at drinking. ”
Lu Qiming nodded slowly. He only knew that he had a good amount of alcohol in his previous life, but now he really hasn't tried it. But for now, it should be okay.
"Drinking alone is not fun. Come, Brother Lu, let's continue to play chess. I'm going to win the next sentence today. Chu Shaoqiu smiled and consciously raised his hand to pick up a sunspot.
Lu Qiming took a white seed and pressed it. The chess pieces were cool in the hand, with a trace of water vapor, which was condensed by Chu Shaoqiu's ingestion of the surrounding water elemental power.
Lu Qiming's eyes fell on the chessboard, and he asked casually: "Brother Chu's control of the mysteries of the 'water' system is enough for the high level of the small mysteries, right?
"Brother Lu really has good eyesight. Chu Shaoqiu was not surprised, and explained with a smile: "It's not to skip those troubles of Xiao Aoyi as soon as possible. When you comprehend the mysteries of 'water' thoroughly, you can directly cultivate the mysteries after a retreat. ”
Lu Qiming raised his eyebrows slightly. There are many ways to avoid triggering the other four Five Elements Mystery as much as possible, but few people would be as extreme as Chu Shaoqiu and actually want to comprehend a series in the Zhou Tian Realm...... There should be other reasons. Lu Qiming didn't ask again, only smiled: "Brother Chu also said before, 'far away', and when the great mystery is achieved in the near future, the kendo cultivation will naturally surpass me." ”
Chu Shaoqiu's hand froze for a moment, and the chess piece slipped away from between his fingers and landed where it shouldn't have landed.
Lu Qiming chuckled, pointed to the wrong chess and said with a smile: "There is no regret about the fall - Brother Chu is not allowed to change the chess." ”
"Brother Lu......" Chu Shaoqiu didn't know what to say. Even if he vaguely noticed the difference in Lu Qiming's sword path before, he didn't dare to think in that direction, but when Lu Qiming's sword also dispersed later, if he couldn't see it anymore, then he couldn't say it.
Chu Shaoqiu knew why Lu Qiming never used internal force when he used the sword technique, and only used sword intent and empty moves - because using internal force would lead to Dao injuries and backlash.
In fact, Chu Shaoqiu hurriedly started hand-to-hand combat after the sword competition at that time, and the main reason was to avoid this topic.
Lu Qiming raised his eyes to look at him, and said, "You want to comfort me, don't worry too much, I'm also trying to find a way to solve it." ”
Solve it? Chu Shaoqiu blurted out: "There is also a way to renew the broken path?!" As soon as the words came out, he immediately realized the faux pas, and his eyes were apologetic.
Lu Qiming waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and said with a smile: "Not yet." But there's always a silver lining, so give it a try. ”
If it is broken, it will be broken, and there is no hope of recovery -- this is the consensus of people since ancient times. But Lu Qiming is not deceiving himself when he says this.
What is the key to the injury -- Lu Qiming believes that most people are wrong.
Thanks to his own special experience, Lu Qiming can at least be sure of one thing - the Dao injury has not penetrated to the point of touching the essence of the soul. In that case, it is not the worst.
He had not remembered his past life for more than ten years, and only practiced as a young child. At that time, he was completely free to control the sword technique with internal force and display his sword intent. "Lifeless Sword" is the best example of this.
However, after regaining his memory, he was once again in a state of disconnection from the way of the sword as he had been in his previous life. So it's about memory -- and everything that has to do with memory is not indestructible.
In addition to this, Lu Qiming also has a special case in the Golden Tree Secret Realm - using the "Heavenly Dao Remnant Style" to break the ladder of heaven with a sword - it is absolutely impossible to achieve such a situation with just a move out of thin air, and it must have violated the rules.
If the sword path is broken, it will be reversed, why is the "rule" exceptional, and why is the "sword intent" not completely restricted?
There are so many special cases, which are enough to prove that "kendo severance" is not as absolute as it seems.
Lu Qiming thought about it and smiled calmly: "Otherwise, even I think it's a pity." ”
It's a pity! It's a ...... Chu Shaoqiu felt poor again. Now that Lu Qiming's sword path is broken, there is still such a might, so what about when his sword path is not broken? God, isn't it the pinnacle in the true sense?
Is there really such a genius in the world? Chu Shaoqiu was a little unimaginable, and he sighed a little. Some people say that wisdom will hurt, and some people say that it is shocking and jealous, maybe that's it.
For a while, Chu Shaoqiu's emotions were extremely complicated. He hurriedly raised his glass, trying to hide the look in his eyes: "I'll give Brother Lu another glass." ”
Lu Qiming had a drink with him, and pointed to the chessboard with a smile: "Don't be busy putting it down first-after three steps, the sunspot loses, and Brother Chu doesn't forget to punish him with a glass of wine." ”
Chu Shaoqiu looked at him for a moment, and his smile should be.
