103. The mountain is cold and borrows a fox for warmth
Before Ye Xuan took it, he could be regarded as a figure who became famous earlier.
Although he knew that one of the two people who confronted her that night was Xie Simin's senior, he couldn't recognize the other person who confronted her.
Before the opponent has not performed the technique, the cultivator can only judge the identity of the opponent from the aura emanating from the opponent's body, as well as some habits, appearances, and weapons. But the person who confronted Xie Simin's predecessor that night, Ye Xuan couldn't judge the aura that was exuded by Ye Xuan at all, let alone the others.
However, this matter did not arouse Ye Xuan's great attention.
In his opinion, this was the Demon Sword Sect's own business, and it had nothing to do with him as an outsider, so he still put his mind on the soul of the true dragon.
For several days in a row, in addition to running the "Mountains and Rivers Technique" to absorb spiritual energy to nourish the consumption of the true dragon's soul every day, Ye Xuan devoted the rest of his time to the study of the "Listening to the Wind Sword Technique". In addition to practicing sword moves every day, he silently recalls the sword trick mantra the rest of the time, and constantly recalls the special surname in the sword move, hoping to understand the sword intent from it.
The sword intent of this "Listening to the Wind Sword Technique", he had only seen it on Lu Jie's body once, but that time was not very clear.
Before the sword intent is transformed, it will only be hidden in the sword moves, but it cannot be exerted alone.
But even so, it was enough to more than double the power of the sword move, and even burst into a completely unimaginable effect.
But no matter how Ye Xuan thought back to Lu Jie's sword moves, his mind was blurry, except for being shocked, he couldn't recall the bits and pieces of that sword intent at all. Obviously, when I saw Lu Jie dancing the sword for the first time that day, the impact of the sword intent was particularly obvious, but when I wanted to think about it, I couldn't remember it anyway.
Only this time, Ye Xuan was not in a hurry.
Since that day, the meridians were a little strained, Ye Xuan completely understood that if you want to be fast, you can't reach this truth, and being anxious will not make the situation better, but will miss a lot of things.
Moreover, the advantages of Shengding's capital are gradually showing.
This kind of root bone has a very obvious special surname, that is, just like refining pills and weapons, it always takes time and heat to smelt.
Now Ye Xuan only practices the sword once a day, but he can feel that he is improving every day, and the same sword move always has new insights. This was also the reason why Ye Xuan had more and more confidence in himself, he believed that before leaving the Demon Sword Sect, he would definitely be able to comprehend the sword intent of the Sword Technique of Listening to the Wind.
It's not arrogance, it's a subtle feeling that can't be explained.
Tamamo has also gradually become accustomed to the environment in which it is located today.
The weather is getting colder, and although the fox does not need to hibernate, it is still clear that the amount of activity of the tamamo is gradually decreasing, and it is starting to become a little lethargic. However, in most cases, Tamamo is still in a very lively state of mind, and of course its food intake has increased somewhat.
This made Ye Xuan feel that maybe Yuzao had grown again.
The growth period of the snow jade golden haired fox is very long, because of the loss of ancient books, no one knows how long it will take for this spirit animal to reach adulthood. Moreover, Yuzao was not a snow jade golden fox that grew up in the clan, and Ye Xuan was even a little worried about whether it could learn to transform into shapes, because he had no way of determining whether this ability was innate or acquired through nurture.
Of course, Ye Xuan's concern for Yuzao has not diminished in the slightest.
Although there are many disciples on the outer gate, the relationship between them is not very harmonious. Even if they are all disciples of the same peak, they will have opposing positions with each other because of the different people they follow.
It's just that the Demon Sword Sect forbids fellow disciples from killing each other, so the competition and positions between each other are restrained in a relatively peaceful situation.
The only exception is Ye Xuan.
The position he was in was the area of the future disciples of the Broken Sword Peak, whether it was Li Tian or Chen Song, they had always been staring at him. It's just that the difference is that Chen Song's people have eaten a closed door on Ye Xuan's side, which leads to Li Tian's people not daring to come to the door at will, they are happy to treat this as a joke, if they also eat closed doors, then they can't treat each other as a joke.
But even if Ye Xuan kept the courtyard door closed, he could only live a peaceful twenty-day life.
On the 10th and 20th of the month, Ye Xuan did not go.
He had already looked through the list of people in the roster, and there were only two people in it who deserved his attention.
In addition to Fan Ren, it is a woman named Nalan Xue.
Nalan is the surname of the Qianyuan Dynasty in the Western Desert.
Except for this dynasty, there is no one with the surname Nalan anywhere else. Therefore, if someone claims to be a member of the Nalan clan, then this person must be from the Qianyuan Dynasty.
It's just that the people of the Nalan clan have always been friendly with the people of Xuanwu Palace, Ye Xuan really can't figure out why this woman would apprentice to the Demon Sword Sect, even if she really wants to learn swords, she should go to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Xuanwu Palace and Heavenly Sword Sect are not only the same six famous families, but also both martial arts giants.
Ye Xuan was just curious, and then he threw this question out of his mind.
For him, Nalan Xue is just a woman with unique attainments in swordsmanship, and listening to her lectures may be able to gain some understanding from it, that's all. Because on the way to the sword, Ye Xuan felt that Nalan Xue was not as good as Fan Ren, but if Ye Xuan knew that Fan Ren's achievements today were all from the "Guiyuan Six Extremes Tiangang Chief Sword Technique", I am afraid that this idea would change slightly.
A little, but not all.
Because Ye Xuan had also heard of the "Guiyuan Six Extremes Tiangang Chief Sword Technique", those who were willing to spend hard work and devote themselves to studying it, even if their talent was not as good as others, they would definitely achieve success in the future.
It's just that before going to listen to Nalan Xue's lecture, Ye Xuan has one thing that must be resolved.
That is the eight-day actual combat training of the outer sect of the Demon Sword Sect every month.
During these eight days, all outer disciples had to spend time alone in the wilderness.
But these eight days are not as simple as surviving in the wild.
All outer disciples are placed in a fixed area, where they search for medicinal herbs, hunt wild beasts and demon beasts, and even prevent sneak attacks from their own people. Because this actual combat training is a bloody survival journey that only looks at the results and does not look at the process, although the Demon Sword Sect has repeatedly forbidden the same sect to kill each other, but at this time, it is inevitable that there will be unexpected situations.
Of course, in order to minimize this risk, the Demon Sword Sect will distribute uniform blades and special sigils to all disciples participating in actual combat training.
This kind of talisman seal naturally cannot be used against the enemy, but as long as you pinch it hard, it can be crushed, and the crushed talisman seal will also produce a protective light. This protective light can block the attacks of the standard blades distributed by the Demon Sword Sect, and its protection can also block the attacks of some demon beasts.
At the same time, this protective light can emit an extremely brilliant brilliance both day and night, and once the Ranger sees this brilliance, he will immediately come to the rescue with his sword.
It's just that on the other hand, once this kind of talisman is broken, it is equivalent to giving up actual combat training and admitting one's own failure. As a punishment, they are not allowed to participate in actual combat training for the next half of the year, and can only receive a minimum ration.
Ye Xuan can understand this approach, after all, if he really trains outside, there will be no protective light and others to rescue, everything can only rely on himself. And the punishment of this half year is to make the failed disciples self-reflect, and use this as a grind to try to catch up.
Of course, the Demon Sword Sect is not a good hall.
If there is no success in three consecutive actual combat trainings and he crushes the talisman seal to seek refuge, then this disciple will also be expelled from the Demon Sword Sect.
Ye Xuan hadn't heard Ziyan mention these contents before.
And he knew now that it was because there was an iron bladed sword and a streamer-like navy talisman in front of him.
These two things were sent by the master of the stone gate, and the others went to the cultivation area to collect them by themselves, so it also made many people curious about Ye Xuan's identity.
However, this was not the reason why Ye Xuan had a look of embarrassment on his face at the moment.
The reason why he was really embarrassed was that the disciples involved in the actual combat training were not allowed to carry anything other than these two things, including a change of clothes.
This condition is tantamount to announcing that he can't take Tamamo with him.
Seeing the eagerness in Yuzao's eyes, almost mournful, Ye Xuan's face was also a little hesitant and reluctant.
He doesn't pay much attention to this kind of practical training, because it is like play for him. This is also the reason why he dared to directly close the door to the man and woman who came to him that night, Ye Xuan didn't even remember the names of those two people, because the extent of this kind of petty fight was not taken into account by him at all.
However, if he doesn't participate in combat training, it means that his food will not be available next month, which is not good news for Tamamo, who has been eating more recently. Here in the outer gate of the Demon Sword Sect, it is forbidden for disciples to enter and exit other areas outside the gate at will, which means that he can't sneak out to get some game and come back, everything can only rely on the supply of the outer gate of the Demon Sword Sect.
Forcing everyone to participate in combat training.
It's brutal and [***], but it's undoubtedly effective.
Just when Ye Xuan was extremely troubled, his courtyard door was suddenly smashed open.
The two courtyard doors exploded into countless sawdust and pieces of wood as if they had been hit by some powerful explosion, and flew into the vestibule. Such a violent sound naturally startled Ye Xuan to run out of the front hall, he wanted to know who was so bold and dared to do this.
It's just that when he saw Shi Shiran walking towards the front court, the anger on his face disappeared instantly: "Senior Xie, why do you have time to come to me." ”
"I've been bored lately, so I'm here to take a look. Xie Simin glanced around, and then his gaze fell on Yuzao at Ye Xuan's feet, "It just so happens that it's been a little cold on the mountain recently, so I'll borrow your fox to go up the mountain for a few days to keep warm, and I'll pay you back next month." ”
"This ......" Ye Xuan wanted to refuse.
However, Xie Simin couldn't tolerate Ye Xuan's refusal at all, and as soon as his left hand was raised and pulled, Yuzao was directly lifted in the air and flew towards Xie Simin. No matter how much Yuzao resisted, it was useless, and he was easily hugged by Xie Simin in his arms.
After holding Yuzao into his arms, Xie Simin didn't even look at Ye Xuan, turned around and left, leaving Ye Xuan with a stunned face and a mess all over the ground.
