Chapter 18 The path of cultivation is bumpy
"Knock knock!"
Just like Chu He was at Tianji Peak, Xu Wanqing naturally did not learn to be an ascetic monk to live in a cave, but lived comfortably in a courtyard, and at this time, it was her door that was knocked.
Xu Wanqing sat on the edge of the bed and looked out the window, did not speak, but silently put away a sect talisman in her hand. She knew that the only person who would knock on her door at this time would be one person, and this person didn't need her to speak.
"Auntie, is there something wrong?"
Xu Wanqing looked at the palace woman who slowly stepped into the room, got up and saluted slightly. However, she has always been cold, and her tone is tepid.
Xu Luoxi didn't care, but sat down by himself, and said with a light smile: "I heard that you and Chu He made another small bet today?"
Glancing at her aunt in some surprise, Xu Wanqing was surprised by the Xu family's energy in the Golden Agenet Peak. has just entered the Golden Agenet Peak for half a year, and her own strength is not enough to reach that level, and Xu Wanqing has not yet come into contact with all the potential power of the Xu family here.
It's just that what happened in Shizun Cave Mansion didn't take long for my aunt to know...... Could it be those two senior brothers?
However, Xu Wanqing didn't speculate much, they are all her own family, and there is no need to intrigue like outside.
"It's not a gamble, it's just a wild word from the man. Xu Wanqing shook her head slightly and said, "He claims to be able to comprehend a sword intent within two months...... It's stupid. β
Xu Luoxi couldn't help it. She knew her niece's character very well, and she could make her speak ill of her like this, obviously Chu He's attitude would not be too good at that time.
And what Xu Wanqing said about "stupidity" is not that Chu He is incapacitated, but that he makes a bet with such an illusory thing as sword intent. The luck component of the sword intent is too big, winning or losing is normal, and it can't prove anything at all.
"Since it's not a formal bet, forget it. Xu Luoxi shook his head. Martial arts prevailed in the southern region, and the monks were not like people in the Taoist sect, but more like martial artists, so they paid special attention to gambling and fighting.
"After all, the previous matter is our fault, if it is unnecessary, it is best not to make enemies with Chu He again. β
Xu Wanqing was stunned when she heard this, staring at Xu Luoxi blankly, her beautiful eyes full of surprise: "You mean, there is a place for him on the Golden Bird Peak?"
A big family like the Xu family, if the other party is a behemoth like the Chu family, it doesn't matter, but if Chu He is alone, he won't be reasonable at all, let alone say anything. Xu Luoxi's purpose is most likely to give Na Chu He a position.
Talking to smart people is worry-free.
Xu Luoxi secretly praised in his heart, and by the way, he also remembered his daughter who was a little natural, and said, "Not bad." Lingxu Zhenren led Chu He into the peak, but in fact, he didn't want to use the power of the Chu family to compete with us. β
has only been at the peak for half a year, and has only been in contact with Lingxu real people for a few months, but Xu Wanqing really regards him as an elder of the sect. At this moment, I heard that the family and the master are not incompatible, so I immediately became interested, and pulled Xu Luoxi to ask her to tell her in detail.
Xu Luoxi couldn't resist her, so he had to explain briefly: "The family and the sect have always complemented each other, where will it really be completely opposed? The old man Lingxu wants to pull another party into the gang to guarantee that Quefeng will not become a hall of words for the Xu family, so let's give that party a name." β
Xu Wanqing finally understood. Lingxu Zhenren and the Xu family are like the two predators on this Golden Bird Peak, if there is no Chu He in it and the mud, I am afraid that sooner or later small troubles will pile up into big conflicts.
And Chu He and the capital of the mud are naturally not himself, but the Chu family represented behind him. Before the war broke out completely, the background and the name were still very useful.
"It's cheaper for nothing. After thinking about all this, Xu Wanqing couldn't help but mutter.
Xu Luoxi smiled very arrogantly, took Xu Wanqing's little hand and said, "When did our Xu family make a loss-making transaction? Don't say that it was just to give him a false name, you and Xiaoying made a big fuss about Tianji Peak before, don't you have to give others some compensation?"
Xu Wanqing's eyes lit up, and then her little face was slightly red and said, "It's all because Wanqing was anxious, so she caused trouble for her aunt." β
"You are not to blame for this. Xu Luoxi smiled and waved his hand, "Who knew that the madman of Lu Dao Lin Yuxiao had not made a move for many years, and when he made a move, he was so earth-shattering...... Chu Zhongxian has such a lifelong friend, which is also a blessing for the Chu family. β
The two discussed some more details, and Xu Luoxi finally explained the purpose of her visit. She specially came to find Xu Wanqing, naturally she was not the object of lack of discussion, and the Xu family was not dilapidated to this extent.
"Are you saying that I should go and apologize to Chu He, and then invite him to serve as the deputy seat of the Law Enforcement Hall?" Xu Wanqing's eyes widened, and the words "I don't want to go" were almost written on her face.
"That's right. Xu Luoxi nodded solemnly, "You had the best relationship with Chu He before, and the source of that incident was also on you." As long as the misunderstanding is cleared up, it will not be difficult to pull him to our side. β
Xu Wanqing was silent. Of course, she knew that it was most appropriate for her to come forward in this matter, but after all, she was not an old fox like Xu Luoxi, and she could still turn around and leave after Lin Yuxiao's sword, without caring about face.
Now she is still just a little girl, and although the arrogance in her heart is restrained, she is not inferior to anyone. Otherwise, with the opportunity that she had already seen the weakness of Ye Chen's character, she would not have been unable to let go of her face and ask the other party for help.
And this is true for Ye Chen, and the same is true for Chu He.
After a while, Xu Wanqing took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Let Xiaoying go." β
Xu Wanqing was reluctant to come forward, and Xu Luoxi could only sigh secretly, unable to make more requests. The other party is not her subordinate, it's just that she is the heir of the next life, and even Xu Rulong's beloved biological daughter, she can't be strong after all.
And because of the incident on Tianji Peak, Xu Ying has also become one of the parties, and it is not impossible for her to come forward. Xu Luoxi comforted her niece a few more words, asking her to try not to conflict with Chu He again, and then got up and left.
And just when the Xu family was discussing how to give Chu He a little sweetness, Chu He finally sent away the Lingxu real person and began to calm down, thinking about his next moves.
After the guidance of the cheap master, Chu He already knew the correct cultivation method of the Chuyang Sword Technique. The sword intent that was originally a little deviated will gradually shift in the direction of the sword drawing technique, which is not in a hurry.
It's just that now Chu He has paid attention to another thing.
How do you practice?
In this age of practice, there are two main ways to practice. The first is to practice the Taoist mental method in ancient times, with the way of breathing and breathing, supplemented by pills, spiritual treasures and other things, to achieve the purpose of strengthening oneself; the second is to use martial arts as the basis to nourish the spirit of the soldiers and feed oneself.
There is no contradiction between these two methods, and most of the monks in the world practice the two methods together, but they will focus on it. In places like the south, the latter is the main body.
This also made Chu He feel embarrassed.
He didn't actually incarnate a soldier spirit, and the sword soul in the sword book couldn't be nourished as a sword spirit. Just kidding, the soldier spirit is hidden in the Purple Mansion, and the warmth is the process of refining Zhou Tian's spiritual energy. But the sword code itself is in Chu He's sea of knowledge, how can it be warmed?
Could it be that it relies on absorbing the aura in other people's sword spirits? This is a good idea, but this kind of "sword eating flow" has a fatal loophole...... The Sword Codex absorbs the sword soul, which is not without scruples, and it itself has a strict quota limit.
Unfortunately, this quota seems to be determined by cultivation.
A vicious circle is over.
Chu He scratched his hair a little irritably. In the previous half year, he had been busy laying out and practicing swordsmanship, and it was fast enough for him to enter the Qi refining period in a few days, and it was easy to arouse suspicion if he continued to practice, so he didn't notice this problem.
It was still a sentence from the Lingxu real person today, which reminded him that he had already embarked on the path of cultivation.
"Apprentice, although your swordsmanship is extremely sharp after practice, and you can even kill the enemy with one blow, but the Qimen swordsmanship is only a side-by-side ...... after all" It was this sentence that made Chu He have the idea of practicing another swordsmanship.
He has already practiced the Qinshui swordsmanship, and he is also touching the edge of the sword intent, but this swordsmanship is not visible. Therefore, if he wants to practice another sword technique, he must raise his cultivation to another level to see if he can make another position in the sword codex.
However, after thinking about it, Chu He couldn't find an effective response plan, so he could only find a Taoist mental method to fill up the number first.
The Chu family is the top world in a state, and the mental method tips and the like are not too bad, but Chu He still feels that the progress of cultivation is tepid.
"The Taoist mind has always focused on stability, but I can't see it now, and if I cultivate it to a high level in the future, I'm afraid that a small realm will take decades of water grinding. Half an hour later, Chu He slowly finished his work, with a wry smile on his face.
By the way, aren't all the protagonists in the novel able to be fierce?
Chu He suddenly thought of this, and then quickly searched in his memory, but then his face became bitter again, because reality severely shattered his naΓ―ve thoughts.
Since the Great Destruction of the Ancient Ages, the spiritual energy of the cultivation world has been greatly lost, the heaven and earth spiritual grass and many magic weapons have gradually disappeared, and the elixirs and magic weapons have become precious. This was one of the factors that led to the development of a new way of practicing martial arts.
Ancient monks can rely on ** to improve their cultivation, and the current monks only eat one at most when they are injured, and they may not be willing to fight in ordinary times, let alone use it to cultivate such a luxurious behavior.
What's more, the quality of the current pills is uneven, most of them carry serious erysipelas, and it is okay to take a small amount, and it is a matter of life if you really eat it.
It's not just the pill, after some searching, Chu He found that even the magic weapon is the same. In addition to the great increase in the power of various weapons, the power of other magic weapons is much weaker than in ancient times, especially protective magic weapons.
Therefore, the current monk's fighting method can no longer see the scene like in ancient times.
At that time, you threw a magic weapon and I threw a talisman, and then the protective magic weapons on both sides shone brightly, but they were never broken. And now, under the elimination of the other's strengths, it is possible for a monk of the same level to smash the protective magic weapon with a sword.
Fortunately, the monks have developed a method of using the spirit of the soldier to temper their bodies, so that the physical strength of the monks will be greatly enhanced, so that there will not be a situation where everyone will die with a sword.
Of course, Chu He obviously couldn't enjoy this preferential treatment.
