Chapter Twenty-Three: Old Zhao Returns
After leaving the school, she understood that there was not a lot of harmony in the sect, and there were probably many clowns like Huo Yuanyu.
Moreover, there should be a lot of people like Chen Xiaoshan, these people have their own ghosts and hide themselves, which is even more difficult to deal with than people like Huo Yuanyu who have no brains.
She didn't want to show her face, and she didn't want to be targeted by this kind of person, she just wanted to cultivate well.
All the way back to the Rejuvenation Valley, as soon as I entered the valley, I was hurriedly pulled by a lot of water in the direction of the main hall, and I found out after some inquiry.
Zhao Lao is back.
In the main hall, Zhao Lao was sitting on the main seat, his body had changed into clean clothes, and he was holding a wordless book in his hand and looking at it.
"I've seen Zhao Lao."
Stepping into the main hall, the two bowed together, bowing their heads and not daring to look directly.
It's just that Gu Nian can vaguely feel a trace of the breath from the other party, which is very unstable.
Zhao Lao raised his eyes slightly, but when he looked at Gu Nian, he suddenly frowned, and then came to Gu Nian with a step.
"Have you practiced qi?!"
He stared at Gu Nian as if he wanted to see something out of her.
This speed is really a bit amazing, as if it suddenly flashed, Gu Nian suppressed the surprise in his heart and spoke respectfully.
"Back to Elder Zhao, the disciple has been cultivating hard these days, and he has had an epiphany by coincidence, and he has successfully broken through."
"That's good."
Old Zhao shook his head and couldn't help but admire: "It is not easy for the four spirit roots to be able to induce qi into the body, and if you can break through the qi cultivation period, your understanding is beyond my expectations." ”
He glanced Gu Nian up and down, thought for a moment, took out a book of exercises from his arms and handed it to Gu Nian.
"I see that your body is full of spiritual energy, and your breath is lingering, and you should not have fallen behind in cultivation after breaking through, you can take this "Flowing Water Sword Technique" and cultivate it."
"Thank you Zhao Lao!"
Gu Nian hurriedly thanked him, feeling quite excited.
Can you not get excited?
Some time ago, for the sake of alchemy, I spent all the remaining points and paid off my debts, but now there is no other practice except for the fireball technique.
Moreover, the fireball technique is easy to practice and easy to use, and in the sect, almost every disciple who breaks through the qi training period has a copy.
Everyone practices the same exercises, and they also know each other's hole cards, so there must be a way to deal with them when they fight.
Now that there is more of this sword technique, it is obvious that it does not belong to the exercises in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and it should be Zhao Lao's private product.
Sure enough, I heard Zhao Lao say: "This is what you deserve, as for those exercises in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, if you want to practice, you can practice it." ”
Zhao Lao looked at Gu Nian, and became more and more satisfied with the girl in front of him.
He didn't expect this girl to have such a good understanding, but it's a pity that in terms of qualifications, otherwise, she would really be moved by the heart of the apprentice.
Then he set his gaze on the many bodies of water.
Many people saw that their junior sister had been rewarded, and they also became excited, looking at Zhao Lao with a look of hope, but saw Zhao Lao shaking his head.
"You have only just drawn qi into your body, the acupuncture points have not been broken, and the aura is insufficient, so you can't cultivate magic powers."
Many people were dumbfounded in an instant, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while.
Zhao Lao retracted his gaze, didn't care about the loss of a lot of water, looked at Gu Nian again, and looked at the medicine field outside the hall.
"During the time I was out, the medicine field was as usual, and there are still traces of alchemy in the alchemy room, it seems that the two of you are diligent, keep my words in mind."
"Don't dare to be derelict in your duties." The two spoke in unison.
"Well, I'm in a good mood."
Zhao Lao turned to look at the lot of water, observed it carefully for a while, thought about it, and took out a book and handed it to him.
"You and your junior sister entered the valley at the same time, although you didn't break through, I can't favor one over the other. Although your comprehension is not good, but your body is full of qi and blood, you don't have to go to cultivating immortals, you can also practice the body, I have a copy of the "Great Sutra" here, and you are willing to cultivate? ”
In the face of Zhao Lao's inquiry, many people were stunned for a moment, reacted immediately, and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Thank you Zhao Lao!"
Many Shui looked shocked, and with an excited face, he took the powerful sutra and put it in his arms as a treasure.
"Ahem, ahem...... Go down for now, I need to rest these days, and don't bother me if it's okay. ”
Old Zhao leaned over, coughed softly, waved his hand, and motioned for the two to retreat.
"Yes!"
The two quietly exited the main hall.
On the way back, a lot of water obviously couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and he kept swaying from side to side in Gu Nian, and the whole person looked fluttering.
"Senior sister, what does this word read?"
"Senior sister, do you think this powerful sutra is suitable for me?"
"Senior sister, do you think I can practice...... Ay! Senior sister, wait for me, don't go! ”
"Senior sister! Junior sister ......"
Listening to the chatter, Gu Nian only felt that one head and two were big, and he left a lot of water behind him, and returned to the room with a few ups and downs.
When she returned to her room, she opened the book and studied it, and as time passed, she became more and more fascinated until dusk.
"Whew~ It's wonderful!"
When she silently read the Flowing Water Sword Technique throughout, she closed the book and breathed a sigh of relief, muttering in a low voice.
The sword momentum of this flowing water sword trick is like water, and its subtlety lies in the changeability of the sword moves, like the water is gentle, and like a waterfall rushing, entering can kill fierce like angry waves, and retreating can be tactful and continuous like smoke waves.
And the essence of its sword moves lies in the word 'flow', when the initial practice is borrowed from the flow, practice to the fullest, can be broken by the sword, cut everything.
The Flowing Water Sword Technique is divided into three layers.
The first layer is as light as water, the posture of holding the sword is calm, and the changes in moves are the mainstay, reaching the realm of the afterimage that is difficult to catch. The second layer was as angry as a wave, swinging his sword with great force, and attacking the main attack. The three layers understand its meaning, this move combines one and two layers, and the light and heavy are converted at will, with both regularity and rhythm, and the sword energy is continuous.
"It's a pity that this swordsmanship is too subtle, and if you want to practice it, I'm afraid it's not easy."
I got up and came to the window, looking at the sunset and dusk, and the sad sound of crows echoing in the mountains, thinking in my heart.
"I currently have two kinds of exercises, but if I abandon the fireball technique and directly practice the sword technique, I am afraid that it will not be possible to achieve it in a few years."
"At present, you can focus on the fireball technique, and take some time every day to practice some basic sword moves, and lay a solid foundation."
Shaking his head, he decided to continue to focus on fireball techniques.
In the next half a month, Gu Nian did not choose to cultivate the Flowing Water Sword Technique first, but focused on the cultivation of the Fireball Technique.
The main reason is that she got the fireball technique first, and when she has nothing to do, she always takes it out and studies it carefully, and she has a deeper understanding of the fireball, and with a little effort, she should be able to cultivate successfully.
As for the alchemy, she was going to put it aside for the time being, because she was afraid that if she went out of the valley, it would arouse Zhao Lao's suspicions, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
The cultivation of the Fireball Technique was not all smooth sailing.
To practice the Fireball Technique, you need to learn how to condense the aura first, but the process of condensing the aura alone makes her often angry like thunder.
Because when condensing the aura, there will always be many problems such as the escape of the aura, bifurcation, etc., and once she took great pains to condense the aura, but there was a problem when she ran the exercises, and the fireball in her palm exploded directly.
At that time, she was practicing by the stream behind the house, and the sound of the explosion woke up a lot of water that was drowsy from reading, and he thought that there was a thief coming, so he picked up the flat pole and ran over to check, only to see his hair standing on end, and his face was full of black thoughts.
After understanding what happened, he laughed at him for several days, mainly because the shape was really thunderous at that time, and her face was so black that she could hardly tell that it was her.
After that, Gu Nian rested for a few days before re-cultivating the fireball technique.
With the lessons of the past, she was not so anxious and cautious every step.
The fireball technique is not completed by condensing the aura, when condensing the aura, it is necessary to cooperate with the Heart Sutra of the exercises to compress the aura to the extreme, so that it turns into a scorching fireball.
That's it!
