95. New home
The house where Ye Xuan lived was no different from the courtyards of other outer disciples.
Here in the outer gate of the Demon Sword Sect, whether it is a deacon, a sect master, or an elder of the outer gate, there is no difference between the courtyard where they live and the outer disciples. This rule is the first iron law on the side of the outer gate, and it has been used since the birth of the Demon Sword Sect, and the masters of the outer gate in the past generations have not dared to change it at will.
"Yes, at least it's much better than the place where I used to live in the Lu family. After Ye Xuan inspected the house, he was quite satisfied with the current environment.
The house consists of a vestibule, a backyard, an east and west wing, a front hall, and a back hall. There are four empty rooms in the west chamber, and the decoration and furnishings are uniform; the main room is in the east chamber, which is composed of a back room, a front room, and a study, and a small garden, which is mainly to provide some convenience for some disciples with status.
However, if there is no personal maid like Ye Xuan, the front room will be of little use.
After checking back and forth, Ye Xuan was quite satisfied with his new residence. He used to live directly in the Red Maple Forest of Nine Sword Peak, and the house there was not as well laid out as the courtyard here, of course, a large part of the reason was because Ziyan didn't like it.
"It turns out that these lecturers are not fixed. Ye Xuan opened a booklet given to him by the master of the stone gate, which recorded in detail some rules about the outer gate.
It includes some brief introductions to each lecturer, rewards for outstanding monthly practical training, various door rules reward and punishment system, and some other things that need to be paid attention to and careful.
"Senior Xie asked me to go to the class tomorrow, there should be some reason for this. Ye Xuan rummaged through the booklet for the relevant content of the lecturer's introduction, most of the lecturers only had one or two simple introductions, and a few people would have some examples to introduce, "Tomorrow's lecturer seems to be called ...... Fan Ren?"
On the 10th of every month, there will be a lecturer on the outer gate to give a lecture, and these lecturers are all inner disciples. Most of the strength is not too high, they are all the strength of the first and second realms of immortality, many of them have just broken through, and their feelings for this kind of cultivation are the clearest, and it is indeed more appropriate for them to give lectures. Of course, there will be some exceptions, such as Fan Ren that Ye Xuan saw at this moment.
"A hundred years ago, I stepped into the first realm of immortality and apprenticed to Jian Peak. Ye Xuan looked at this page of records curiously, and it was simply recorded in one sentence, "I have been cultivating the 'Fire Sword Technique' for more than a hundred years, and I have comprehended three completely different sword intents from it. ...... How is this possible!"
Ye Xuan had an unbelievable look on his face.
If Fan Ren has any special root bones, then he is more acceptable, but this introduction clearly states that Fan Ren does not have any special root bones, and his qualifications are not even very good, otherwise he would not be in the realm of immortality for more than a hundred years. But if he was to say that his qualifications were dull, he had comprehended three completely different sword intents from the "Leaving the Fire Sword Technique".
Sword intent is not a verbal statement, it is an essence, or a will.
There is an essential gap between sword cultivation that has comprehended the sword intent and those who have not comprehended the sword intent. If you have to find an analogy, then the former has already realized the feelings of the ancestors who created this sword technique, and has already broken away from the concept of "disciple", while the latter is still in the concept of "disciple", and he cannot surpass or even understand the essence and feelings of the sword technique created by the ancestors.
This kind of gap in perception will lead to a gap between the two sides in actual combat, and the latter will often end up with death when encountering the former.
Of course, according to each person's surname, habits, and other lifestyles and ways of thinking, even if they practice the same sword technique, there will be slight differences in the sword intent they comprehend. And to comprehend three completely different sword intents from this sword technique, although it is not impossible, it will definitely not appear on the "Leaving the Fire Sword Technique".
"Lihuo Sword Technique" is just a one-level sword technique, although it is stronger than the "Spirit Snake Sword Technique" of the Zhang family of the White Jade Dynasty, but it is not a special exercise.
As far as Ye Xuan knew, the "Fire Sword Technique" contained the special surnames of water and fire, and the general sword cultivator could only realize one of the two sword tricks when cultivating this sword technique, even if Fan Ren was amazingly talented in the way of sword cultivation, at most he could only comprehend two different sword intents, water and fire, how could he comprehend the three sword intents?
After all, the "Leaving Fire Sword Technique" is not as good as the "Heavenly Elephant Sword Technique" and other heaven-level exercises, which are completely composed of four sets of sword techniques. If Fan Ren comprehended the three sword intents from the "Heavenly Elephant Sword Technique", then Ye Xuan would not be so surprised, because theoretically, in the complete set of the "Heavenly Elephant Sword Technique", he could comprehend seven completely different sword intents.
Of course, this is theoretical. But in fact, except for the person who created the "Celestial Elephant Sword Technique" back then, no one had ever comprehended more than three kinds of sword intent.
"This Fan Ren is so strong, just with three different sword intent combinations, supplemented by the peerless knowledge of Yi Jian Peak, I am afraid that unless he is a cultivator of the Condensation Realm, no one will be his opponent. Ye Xuan gently closed the booklet, and the look on his face gradually became excited, "Thanks to Senior Xie's reminder, otherwise I might have missed tomorrow's lecture." ”
Ye Xuan stayed in the Demon Sword Sect, in addition to wanting to see Zi Xuan's side and improve his strength as much as possible, another purpose was to hope that he could regain his sword intent.
The sword intent of each sword technique is completely different. And the sword intent corresponds to only the sword technique that is comprehended, and if you want to integrate it into other sword techniques, it is even more difficult than re-comprehending the sword intent of that sword technique.
This is also the reason why sword cultivators never easily change the swordsmanship they have learned and the swords they carry with them.
Of course, in addition to sword intent, there are also different essences of martial arts such as fist intent and sword intent.
For martial arts practitioners, it is very important to be able to comprehend the essence of the exercises and form their own "meaning". After all, martial arts are inferior to the spells of the Dao lineage, the supernatural power of the Buddha lineage, and the living surname of the Confucian lineage in terms of comprehensive surnames in all aspects. To make up for it, in the same level of exercises, the power of martial arts is definitely stronger than the other three veins - and the premise is that you must comprehend the essence of its exercises and form your own "meaning".
For tomorrow's lecture, Ye Xuan's heart is also full of expectations.
With this expectation, Ye Xuan simply got some food and went back to his room to rest.
Here in the Outer Gate of the Demon Sword Sect, the Outer Gate will provide a minimum amount of food every month according to the number of people in each courtyard. If you want to get better food, then there are only two ways, the first is to get a better ranking in the actual combat training, and the second is to spend your own money to eat in the canteen outside the door, where there is a chef in charge, but the price of these meals is not cheap, or even more expensive than the outside world.
The disciples' regular money is distributed according to the ranking of actual combat training, and of course, if you wish, you can also accept various jobs here in the outer gate to earn wages.
At the end of the day, it's all about rankings for actual combat training.
The more rewards you can get for getting a good ranking, and those who are at the bottom of the ranking not only don't have any rewards, but they even have to complete the work assigned by the sect every month - these jobs are not paid. Because of this factor, everyone in the outer sect disciples worked hard to win a good ranking in actual combat training.
When Ye Xuan checked in, the master of Shimen had already clearly told him that since tomorrow was the last day of this month, his food and money for the next month would be distributed according to the best share. But it's only this month, because the future distribution will be based on the results of his monthly combat training, of course, Ye Xuan can also not participate in the actual combat training, because he is not a disciple of the Demon Sword Sect.
It's just that if Ye Xuan doesn't participate, then he will have nothing.
These are all explained by the Heavenly Elder himself.
Regarding Xie Simin's senior's explanation, Ye Xuan naturally didn't dare to refute it, so he could only honestly choose to accept it.
After a brief tidying up, Ye Xuan took the food sent by the Shimen Lord and prepared a sumptuous dinner for himself and Yuzao. It's been a while since Ichiko had enjoyed a meal, though sometimes Tamamo would always think back to the days when he lived alone in the mountains, when at least there was meat to eat. However, when it thought of the warmth in Ye Xuan's arms, it would feel that maybe the current day was the best.
After eating, Ye Xuan took Yuzao back to the room, he boiled some water so that Yuzao could "take a bath", of course, he also needed to freshen up himself.
Ye Xuan didn't hire any subordinates, although he could also find some subordinates and servants to hire here at the outer gate, but he didn't have any spare money on him, so everything still had to rely on himself. Fortunately, the years when he used to be a casual cultivator were also sharpened, unlike some pampered disciples, who didn't understand anything without service.
By the time everything was processed, it was already late at night, and thinking that Ming Yu still needed to get up early to attend the class, Ye Xuan went to bed early to rest.
These few days of walking on this side of the jungle in the Southern Wilderness are also very draining for him, because no one is sure whether he will be alive the next day.
Yuzao jumped on the bed, and then curled up beside Ye Xuan, it was rare that it didn't rely on Ye Xuan's body today. Ye Xuan chuckled and patted Yuzao, then closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.
When he was about to sleep, Ye Xuan didn't forget to pass on a thought to the soul of the true dragon: No one will cooperate with you tonight, you should be lonely.
In response, the True Dragon Soul expressed its disdain in an angry manner.
[Second Update.] ...... So, Kavin is very bad, and I am personally dissatisfied with this chapter, and I think it is very reluctant, but some content is not written, and it is very troublesome later. So let's just take a moment......]
