After being rejected by the old man, Ye Chen still did not give up, and began to pray to the old man in a low voice.

"Old man, don't be so stingy! I'll help you make wine in the future, it's equivalent to a guy working outside, I don't want to be paid, as long as you take care of my good wine." ”

The old man pursed his lips when he heard this, stared at Ye Chen with a look of disgust, and said, "Man, are you like a buddy? I think it's almost the same as the ancestor, who cares about your food and your residence, and always talks back to me, you say, how can there be a guy like you?"

Ye Chen smiled when he heard this: "Look at what you said, we have a master-apprentice relationship, what's yours and mine is yours, isn't yours also mine?"

", what do you have? You were a broken beggar before you came to my Sword Valley, okay? Now everything you have is mine. Eat is eat me, use is mine, even your current ability is taught to you by me, if I hadn't stopped you one day, you would have died a long time ago!"

The old man stood up angrily and pointed at Ye Chen and counted him carefully.

"Don't be like this, master! We are now a family, and if we have good things, we must share them with our family first!"

Ye Chen was cheeky, and he was not angry at all at the old man's counting, but kept pulling his arm and kept being coquettish like a little girl.

In the end, the old man couldn't stand Ye Chen's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and reluctantly shook him off: "Okay, okay, I'll share a little bit when I brew it." Get out of here, don't bother me here, go and understand your swordsmanship. ”

"Okay, I'll go ...... now."

Ye Chen, who had achieved his goal, smiled from ear to ear, turned around and jumped out of the bamboo forest.

Ye Chen went straight to Jingxin Lake, and after the old man's "recuperation" in the past few days, he had almost recovered. Except for helping the old man transport food, he has not used the slightest bit of true qi in the past ten days.

Now that he had just come to the lake, before he could run his true qi, he had already felt the true qi of the dantian constantly surging. It's like I've been suppressed for a long time and want to rush out all at once.

With the experience of going mad last time, this time Ye Chen closed his eyes and slowly guided the true qi to flow out of the dantian before he could take a step. As soon as he exercised, the true qi in the dantian was like a flood that burst the embankment, and it suddenly surged to the tendons and veins of his whole body, filling his body.

After the True Qi had been running in his body for a week, Ye Chen slowly stepped onto the water. This time, he was highly concentrated, and he no longer deliberately controlled his emotions like last time. I don't deliberately try to avoid thinking about the previous experiences.

When he came to the center of the lake, he no longer stood as before, but treated the surface of the lake as a flat ground and meditated on it.

He felt the breeze on the lake, remembered the few shots the old man had made before, and carefully carved his every movement and figure in his mind.

Slowly, he began to try to make these movements of the old man, and danced on the surface of the lake.

"It's not right for you to draw a scoop like this, the people of the Sword Valley have no fixed moves in the past dynasties, you are you, I am me, how can two different people find resonance in the same sword move?" The old man appeared on the pavilion at some point and commented to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen only realized the existence of the old man after hearing this, he tapped the water with his toes, and came to the old man in a flash.

"I really can't figure it out, so I thought I'd try to learn your moves. ”

"Can't you realize? Not necessarily! You went mad before, and that formation was quite big! If it weren't for my internal strength being stronger than yours, I'm afraid it would be difficult to subdue you!"

"How fast you were at that time, and your swordsmanship was extremely strong, and it was extremely fierce! If your opponent at that time was not me but the Flower Demon and the like, I am afraid that it would not take more than two moves to kill them alive. ”

"Really, I'm still so powerful when I'm mad?" Ye Chen didn't believe the old man's words, and smiled embarrassedly.

"It's just that your body is not under your control after you go mad, so you can burst your potential. The so-called 100-year cultivation is not as good as becoming a demon in one day, and this is what it says. ”

"After entering the demon, you will improve your cultivation as quickly as possible. But the price after a short outburst is also heavy, and the price you pay for it may even be your life. ”

Listening to the old man's words, Ye Chen couldn't help but nodded. Although he couldn't remember what happened after he became a demon, he could also imagine it through the old man's description.

"I see, but luckily you stopped me that day, otherwise I would have burped. ”

"Hmph, you owe me so much, and you can't get along with me all day, you say that if you were from my point of view, will you be killed?" said the old man, half-jokingly.

"How can that be! You said how lonely you are alone in this Sword Valley, and you don't feel bored when multiple people are arguing with you!" Ye Chen said with a smile.

", don't talk to me, I don't have time to talk to you about this. Go and understand your way, and don't learn my sword moves. ”

The old man cursed angrily and then left in a flash. Listening to the old man's words, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, the idea of drawing a scoop with a gourd was shattered, and he had to obediently return to the center of the lake to meditate.

It didn't take long for Ye Chen to completely relax, but he didn't feel the slightest shadow of the sword in his mind.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Chen couldn't sit still anymore in a fit of irritability. He stood up, his right hand sucking water and condensing it into a sword. There is a kind of practice.

After a while, it began to drizzle. The flow of water from the mountain into the lake is also gradually increasing.

Listening to the sound of the water, Ye Chen turned his head and glanced at the water inlet. Sharp-eyed, he immediately saw a stone more than a foot wide at the entrance to the water. Due to the impact of the stream for many years, half of the stone has been lost. And on the shore, the fierce stream is also constantly sweeping away the sand and gravel, impacting the shore of the lake.

Looking at the broken stone, Ye Chen slowly fell into deep thought.

In his cognition, water is the softest in the world. And now the hard rock has been washed away by the current, which directly refreshes his perception of water. Looking at the shore of the lake that was hollowed out by the water, Ye Chen slowly had a little understanding and looked at the condensed water sword in his hand.

"The water is so soft, but it can hollow out the shore of the lake and break the rocks. Is it possible that even water can be harder than a rock as long as the internal force is sufficient?"

Thinking of this, Ye Chen secretly turned his true qi in his right hand, raised his sword and swung it fiercely at the stone, and with a sound, there was really a deep sword mark left on the stone.

After seeing this sword mark, Ye Chen was extremely happy, he was able to leave such a deep trace, saying that his own internal strength was already quite high.

He threw away the water sword in his hand and began to operate his true qi, wanting to use his true qi to forcibly condense into an air sword. After a few attempts, he finally got his wish and successfully condensed the qi sword in his right hand.

"Water exists in the world as soft, but the constant flow of water is enough to break the boulders. True Qi seems to be invisible, but after condensing into a sword, it is still fierce and unparalleled, although the two are different, they can overcome rigidity with softness......"

Ye Chen stood on the water and stared intently at the sword mark, and slowly realized the truth.

After a while, Ye Chen put away the qi sword in his hand. With his eyes closed, he mobilized the true qi in his body, and with the blessing of the vast true qi, countless sword qi surrounded him, and the water surface also rolled up.

With a loud shout, he opened his eyes suddenly. The sword qi around his body seemed to have received an order, and with the direction of his fingers, it quickly swept across the water, setting off bursts of water columns, and the sword qi slowly dissipated after stretching for dozens of zhang.

After seeing that the swordsmanship he had realized was so powerful, Ye Chen couldn't close his mouth happily. He struck while the iron was hot, condensing his sword qi to attack the water again and again.

Originally, the old man was not far from the Meditation Lake, and the loud noises again and again made the old man panic. He thought that Ye Chen had gone mad again, and he didn't even care about the wine he was brewing, and left the bamboo forest in a flash.

Ye Chen was practicing happily, and finally realized his sword path, he naturally wanted to try how powerful it was, so he didn't care if he was frightened or not.

The old man went straight to the pavilion and stood, and he was relieved when he found that Ye Chen was not going mad. Looking at Ye Chen, who was excited, he didn't bother him. He knew that Ye Chen had already realized the way of the sword, and he had to leave enough time for him to run in.

"Moving like a rabbit, arrogant like a dragon, swordsmanship is extremely fierce, but he is a rare genius. The old man looked at Ye Chen's swordsmanship and commented.

When Ye Chen was tired of collecting his sword, the old man swept across the water like a dragonfly and came to Ye Chen.

"Old man, I have succeeded and realized my kendo!"

Ye Chen hugged him excitedly when he saw the old man, and couldn't wait to share with him that he had realized the way of the sword.

"I see, I've seen it. The old man smiled and patted him on the back.

"You kid is really not bad, it only took a long time to learn to gather into a blade, and you have realized such a fierce and domineering swordsmanship. ”

"You don't know, I'm going crazy to realize the way of the sword, right! It wasn't until it rained just now, and I saw which stone in the upstream stream rose and hit the shore of the lake and the water inlet......" Ye Chen was like a child, happily telling the old man what had happened.

The old man also listened carefully to Ye Chen's narration, but after a while, his face suddenly turned pale, as if something big had happened.

"Oh no, I thought you had gone mad and came in a hurry, forgetting that I was still brewing. I've got a lot of wine spilled by now, and I've got to get back to ......."

Thinking about the wine brewed, the old man didn't have the heart to listen to Ye Chen's story, and before Ye Chen could finish speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the lake.
