Chapter 32: What is sword cultivation?
Due to the foundation laid by the previous cultivation, coupled with the supplementation of various elixirs later, and the great realm of refining the body, the emphasis is on accumulating a small amount and promoting qualitative change with quantitative change, so it only took Zhang Fengmian about two days to go from the third realm of refining the body to the refining bone realm.
After his mind condensed into mustard seeds, inspected the small world of his body, and made sure that nothing was missing, Zhang Fengmian retracted his mind and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Entering the first layer of bone refining, his own absorption and operation of spiritual energy, as well as the tenacity and strength of his body, have improved a great step. Coupled with the nourishment of innate true qi, Zhang Fengmian's physical strength was much higher than that of other monks in the same realm.
The original purpose of cultivating the body is to temper the body, and now Zhang Fengmian has successfully entered the first heaven of martial arts floating, and now his physical body is almost the most handy weapon, so when facing the enemy, as long as Zhang Fengmian is close, the opponent will definitely not be able to get any benefit.
Moreover, on the way to the Martial Dao of the physical body, after the First Heavenly Floating Qi Great Perfection, the combat power is comparable to the great realm of the body refining realm of the cultivator. Therefore, after Zhang Fengmian has completed the first steps of these two cultivation paths solidly, his combat power will definitely crush the ordinary monks below the first realm of Yunling. Even against the first to third realms of Yunling, they have the power to fight back.
You must know that the martial arts combat power obtained from cultivation can be superimposed with the martial arts combat power of physical cultivation, which is why Chen Fushan, the sect leader of the Shinto Sect, can still protect the Shinto Sect from being completely annexed despite being surrounded by tigers and wolves.
Naturally, it is due to the powerful deterrent effect brought about by the superposition of the two cultivation paths.
However, the superposition of the way of art and the way of martial arts is not as simple as one plus one equals two. And if someone is lucky enough to have two initiates and therefore feels that he is invincible in the world, then he will definitely die a miserable death.
Besides, the way of martial arts refining the physical body is very difficult to walk, and not everyone has such luck as Zhang Fengmian. Even if it was Zhang Fengmian himself, if there was no guidance from Chen Fushan, a senior who had passed in front, then he would not have been as simple as a tingling pain in his abdomen later.
However, Zhang Fengmian is now on the way to martial arts, and he has just taken the first step, but it is only in the early stage of Fuqi Yizhongtian, and the cultivation speed is quite fast, and he has already refined the bone realm.
But there is still a long way to go to the real mountain top.
But it doesn't matter, the road is long and the line is coming.
Zhang Fengmian got up, stretched, and looked at the green mountains and green waters in the distance.
"The realm is stable, the foundation is solid, and the preparations are done, it's time to show your strength in this secret realm and reap some tangible benefits."
Chaos investigated the phenomenon of Qi Fu in Zhang Fengmian's body, and was quite satisfied.
Zhang Fengmian nodded, his knees bent slightly, and then straightened in an instant, and jumped down from the top of the cliff.
More than half a year ago, falling from the cliff of that cliff, Zhang Fengmian only felt that he was going to die, and the wind surging in his ears at that time was like a knife, blowing Zhang Fengmian painfully.
But now, with the wind whistling around him, Zhang Fengmian only felt refreshed.
He opened his eyes and saw a towering ancient tree, his arms stretched out, his feet resting on the canopy, and with a little skill, the ancient tree was bent backwards, like a rickety old man.
The next moment, the branches of the ancient tree instantly straightened, and Zhang Fengmian rushed up like an arrow from the string, and quickly went down the mountain. During this period, this action is repeated several times, and at the same time, the innate true qi is called to adjust the direction.
The method of resisting the wind can only be done when you get the golden pill. Zhang Fengmian has only learned a rough idea of the method of the imperial weapon now, in order to shorten the time to go down the mountain as much as possible, this is undoubtedly the fastest way.
And in this way, it will also exercise Zhang Fengmian's control over the primordial true qi, killing two birds with one stone.
During the descent with the help of those ancient wooden springboards, Zhang Fengmian has also been calculating the time and plan in his heart.
More than half a year has passed, and now the autumn wind is gradually blowing to the end, and there will be a Jiazi competition at the beginning of spring next year, and the participants must reach the completion of the body refining realm. And if you win the competition and become the leader, you will have a chance to return to Xuanwu Kingdom.
Although he is only one realm away now, he has little time left, and he must speed up.
There are many treasures in the secret realm, and there are many relics left over from the great wars of the ancient era, among which there are countless opportunities. With Lao Huang here, it shouldn't be a problem to find those good things hidden in the depths.
Zhang Fengmian jumped off a thick tree trunk for the last time and landed smoothly. Putting away the surging innate true qi and the majestic aura in the spiritual veins in the dantian position, he started to hurry again.
----------------------------------------
Within the secret realm, there is a wide river about ten zhang wide, the clear water is surging, the current is turbulent, a group of four people, standing on the riverside, hesitating.
The first two people, a man and a woman.
The woman was dressed in a cyan long skirt and wore a cyan jade phoenix hairpin, with a slender figure, concave and convex, quite charming.
And the man who stands side by side with him is not so outstanding in appearance. He has a scruffy beard, a scar on his face, a gray coat, a long sword on his back, and a somewhat rickety figure. Judging from his appearance alone, he is a decadent middle-aged man.
But his eyes are gray, but they are bright and fierce.
As for the two retinues standing behind the two, they were dressed as ordinary retinues, but the placket of the clothes was embroidered with the iconic copper coin ornamentation, which was the symbol of the Qiansheng Qianqian Auction House.
And the woman in Tsing Yi is the owner of the Tianqian Auction House branch in Moon Bay, Liu Qingyan.
At this moment, Liu Qingyan looked at the rough man beside her, as the owner of the Moon Bay Auction House, she had an unprecedentedly respectful look on her face.
"Brother Xu came to Moon Bay this time, and the position of the chief worship is a certainty." Liu Qingyan smiled gently and asked softly.
The man surnamed Xu nodded, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, maybe it was a beauty on the side, like a spring breeze soothing people's hearts, this man who had just experienced a big setback, his mood gradually calmed down.
He retracted his gaze and looked at the rippling river, the sound of the waves, and then looked up, the blue sky was like a wash. In the distance, the peaks are numerous, the clouds and mist are steaming, and the fairy spirit is misty.
What a landscape painting, Yijiazi has never been born, it is really suffocated for him. This time I came to Moon Bay as an offering, and the practice can be put aside first, anyway, I can't rush to come, so it's better to take this opportunity to have a good tour of the mountains and rivers, the mountains and rivers in the world are picturesque, and then I don't appreciate it well, maybe there will be no chance in the future.
In the beautiful scenery, there are beauties standing on his side, the man surnamed Xu is in a good mood, and he can't help but have an urge to chant a poem.
But before he could speak, Liu Qingyan's next sentence was like a thunderbolt hitting his head, making his brain buzz.
"Brother Xu has reached the bottleneck of the Tianyuan Realm before, and then he has been in retreat for sixty years, so he should have already entered the Jindan realm. Qingyan's cultivation is low, his eyesight is clumsy, he didn't even see it, he was really ashamed, and when he went out on this trip to the secret realm, Qingyan would definitely prepare a banquet and heavy gifts to celebrate Brother Xu. ”
After Liu Qingyan finished speaking, his eyes blinked and stared at the man surnamed Xu, with a look of anticipation on his face.
There are many forces in the Moon Bay Immortal Family, especially those native Immortal Sects, which are strong, don't look at the current auction house and the surrounding forces are respectful to each other, but for a long time, if there is no enough weight of monks in their own doors, they will be annexed sooner or later.
Therefore, the big brother Xu who came from the head office in front of him is a Jindan realm, so the branch he manages will have a much better living environment in the future.
What's more, this Brother Xu is still a genuine sword cultivator.
But I didn't expect the man to be a little embarrassed and lonely, he stretched out his hand and scratched his face, and said stupidly: "I haven't broken through the realm yet." ”
"Huh?"
Liu Qingyan's smile froze on his face, frowning slightly. But then he recovered, but he inevitably felt a little regretful, but he still comforted the man: "Jindan is the first major bottleneck, and some people may not break it for hundreds of years." Brother Xu has only only been in retreat for a while, and he is a sword cultivator, so it is normal for the bottleneck to be sad. I also hope that Brother Xu will not be down, and I believe that it will not be long before he will cross this hurdle. ”
The man nodded to restrain his ups and downs, and his gaze returned to resoluteness again. Liu Qingyan's persuasion is useful, and the man's own tenacity is the more important reason.
The man's name is Xu Yuan, born in a small country in the eastern corner of the continent, and he did not show much talent for cultivation when he was young. It wasn't until he was in his thirties that he was discovered that he had the qualifications to become a sword cultivator, so he was taken to the mountains to practice.
When he was 100 years old, he traveled down the mountain and became acquainted with an old man from the Tianqian Auction House and came to the Xuanwu Kingdom. Later, after practicing Jiazi for many years, he began to retreat to try to break through the realm, and once this retreat was closed, it was 60 years.
But in the past sixty years, Xiuwei has always stayed firmly at the bottleneck of the third realm of the Pure Yuan, and has never advanced in the slightest.
Seeing that the retreat was fruitless, he simply didn't close it, discussed it with his old friends, and first came to Moon Bay to be an offering for decades, and the right was to relax.
After practicing for more than 100 years, there have been many ups and downs along the way, Xu Yuan never felt that that one hurdle would block people and never get over it again. It used to be so, and it will be even more so.
So the man held his breath in his heart.
The hurdles in front of you have jumped over, can you still be blocked in front of this bottleneck? Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil, and when I clean up my mood and reorganize the mountains and rivers, in the future, I will definitely break through with a sword and become a Jindan.
Liu Qingyan also calmed down a little, turned his head to look at the rippling wide river, and said with a smile: "I saw that blue rainbow fish swimming in this water before, and it is not small. This kind of swimming fish with water transport, not to mention the delicate meat, can also benefit from cultivation. I happened to bring fishing gear when I went out, anyway, there is still a lot of time, I wonder if Brother Xu is interested in fishing in the river? ”
Xu Yuan nodded, anyway, he was not in a hurry, so he threw two shots, and it was regarded as self-cultivation.
Liu Qingyan took out a piece of cyan jade from between his sleeves, tapped it gently, took out two pairs of fishing rods, and handed one to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan glanced at Liu Qingyan and withdrew the jade jue in his sleeve, and said with a smile: "You girl is in a good fate, she actually has a piece of ware." I remember when I borrowed it from that old guy before, he was reluctant to give it to me, but I didn't expect it to go around and turn into your hands. ”
Liu Qingyan smiled and said, "The grandfather of the family gave me this thing, originally wanted to take care of the business here. But today, Brother Xu came, I didn't pay attention to the rules once, and used it for personal use, Brother Xu, don't complain to the head of the family. ”
Xu Yuan shook his head and said helplessly: "That old guy treats you as his daughter, I want to sue, he believes it or not." Maybe I'll give it to you directly if I'm in a hurry. ”
Liu Qingyan smiled and was about to throw the rod to fish, when Xu Yuan, who was beside him, suddenly changed his momentum and was murderous.
In an instant, a sword light rushed straight into the bushes behind him, and dozens of ancient trees of unknown years ago suddenly broke in half.
Liu Qingyan looked shocked, looked back, and didn't know why.
Xu Yuan pulled out the long sword behind his back, the cold light was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Come out." ”
Zhang Fengmian put his sword back into its sheath, walked out from behind a severed stump, patted his shirt, and smiled at Xu Yuan: "Seniors have good swordsmanship." ”
When Zhang Fengmian lowered his head and hurried away, Chaos suddenly spoke, saying that there was an extremely sparse sword dao luck in the north, so he asked Zhang Fengmian to come and take a look.
Then the two walked all the way, and finally stopped at a branch of a tree and looked at the four men by the river not far away. One of them, Zhang Fengmian has seen it, if you really want to talk about it, there is still a bit of incense.
I used to sell sword-casting tools in an auction house, and I once got a hammer that didn't cost money, which was obtained from the hand of the shopkeeper Liu.
Then Zhang Fengmian's gaze naturally shifted to the only person who carried the sword, and the faint wisp of sword dao luck that Chaos felt came from this person.
"This person is also a sword cultivator!"
Zhang Fengmian was full of energy, and finally met a fellow practitioner.
Also? Chaos couldn't help but laugh a little, and said with a smile: "My master, people are real sword cultivators, as for your old man, it doesn't count for the time being." ”
"Why?" Zhang Fengmian was puzzled.
Chaos smiled mysteriously and said, "Do you think that taking a sword is sword cultivation?" If the threshold is really so low, sword cultivation can't go everywhere? Moreover, according to this logic, is it true that taking a knife is a knife repair, taking a gun is a gun repair, and taking a stick is not a stick repair? ”
Chaos shook his head and continued: "The reason why Sword Cultivation is different and has extraordinary killing power is because the Sword of Sword Cultivation is formed by the innate natal sword intent from the void reality, and the sword blade is double-edged, and it fits the Yin and Yang Dao in the dark, and it is the true son of the Great Dao luck. As long as the sword intent in the heart continues, the long sword can be invincible and indestructible. Compared with ordinary swords, even if it is an immortal soldier level, it is much higher. ”
Chaos patted his master's shoulder, and said earnestly: "So you, master, are only a swordsman at present, not a sword cultivator." ”
When Zhang Fengmian heard this, he lowered his head and pondered, and muttered: "Innate natal sword intent, do you have to have it congenitally?" Then I don't have a chance. ”
"The innate natal sword intent may not be born there, even if there are some kendo sects, the awakening of the sword intent is very late. I remember that the previous master had seen an unlucky guy who had been cultivating for hundreds of years and was obsessed with sword training, but he had never cultivated his natal sword intent. That is, his fate is good, and he met the master to guide him one or two, and then he finally became a real sword cultivator, and I heard that he was quite mixed up later, and founded a sect, and the name seems to be called Sword Pavilion or something.
So you, don't worry, with me, a 10,000-year-old sword spirit who has gathered countless sword dao luck, it is only a matter of time before you awaken your natal sword intent. ”
Zhang Fengmian nodded, but he was not much disappointed, but after listening to Chaos's words, he was still in a better mood.
"This shopkeeper Liu has helped me before, and since they are all here, let's say thank you to people in person. Chaos, put the enchantment away, let's go over and say hello. ”
But who knew that as soon as Chaos removed the barrier that isolated the aura, a sword light immediately flew from the river, cutting off more than a dozen ancient trees, including this tree.
Fortunately, Zhang Fengmian hid in time, otherwise I am afraid that I would inevitably suffer for a while.
At this moment, Zhang Fengmian and Xu Yuan stared at each other with wide eyes, speechless.
