Chapter 514: Sword Practice
"What happened to her?"
Xiao Chen's expression immediately became nervous. Shen Jing raised her head and looked at him and said, "The essence of the hibiscus flower and the endless power have all entered her body, but now... she still can't wake up.
"Still can't wake up..."
Xiao Chen looked up at the cave. The hibiscus flower has the ability to revive the dead and prolong life. Can't it wake Wei Yang up?
The two entered the cave and saw that Hua Wei Yang was still sleeping quietly on the stone bed. Although her complexion was better than before, she still couldn't wake up.
Xiao Chen slowly moved closer to the stone bed, and his mind recalled the past scenes, one by one, and at this moment, they passed through his heart one by one.
"Maybe... It will take some time to fully absorb the power of the hibiscus flower."
Shen Jing walked up and said softly.
"Maybe? "
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her. Shen Jing saw his frown and shook her head. "Have you forgotten what I told you before? Her situation is very complicated... Some things are beyond human control after all." ❉
"But..."
Xiao Chen slowly turned back and looked at Hua Weiyang who was sleeping quietly, and said, "If even you can't do anything, who else in the world can save her? Fairy Su Wen? Do you also need an immortal heart that is unique in the world?"
"Don't worry. []”
Shen Jing came up, gently pressed his shoulder, and said, "Now the power of the Hibiscus flower has just entered her body, and it will take some time to absorb it. Although the situation is unpredictable, it may not be that bad. Now everything needs to wait a little longer..."
"Okay..."
Xiao Chen nodded and stopped asking, but he had made up his mind. No matter what, even if he turned the ancient land of Xianyuan upside down, he would find a way to save Hua Weiyang.
...
The stars and the moon were dim tonight, and the two went to the cliff outside. It was chilly in the first month of the year, and the cold wind was a bit biting at night. After a long silence, Shen Jing asked, "Did you find that person and find out what happened back then?"
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and briefly told the story of Qingzhou City, omitting the old beggar. After listening, Shen Jing gently pressed his shoulder, "Don't worry, your life experience will one day..."
"It's not important. "
Xiao Chen turned his head to look at her, then looked at the mountains shrouded in the night in the distance, and said slowly, "I am who I am. What does my life experience have to do with me? I'd rather be myself than a pawn..."
"It's great that you think this way."
Shen Jing said softly, paused for a while, and asked again, "What about the last time you went to Cangfeng Valley to make a fuss? How is it now?"
"What else can it be? It's nothing more than the so-called righteous people who shout and kill all day long.
Xiao Chen's eyes were indifferent. Although he had been involved in the mortal world for the past month, he naturally inquired about the things in the cultivation world. The last time he went to Cangfeng Valley to make a fuss, this matter had already set off an uproar in the five domains of Xianyuan. I don't know who is behind it. Now all the sects want to capture him.
Shen Jing frowned slightly and said, "During this period of time, you should be as careful as possible. If there is nothing important, try not to go in and out of Qingmu Cliff frequently. I will try to wake Weiyang first. As long as she wakes up, everything will be fine."
"Well..."
Xiao Chen nodded gently. Next, he will also find a quiet place to study the "Three Talents Sword" taught by the old beggar that day, and the "Return to Simplicity" he realized that day by the Taihu Lake in Suzhou.
If he can successfully "return to simplicity", perhaps he can truly become a god, not a pseudo-god like Buhuagu and Pili Zidian, and the state of immortality may also realize a new level.
...
On the morning of the second day, Xiao Chen found a deep canyon. It was quiet and mysterious. He practiced sword here and should not disturb Shen Jing.
But seeing the gurgling water in the valley and the flowers blooming, Xiao Chen found an open place, sat cross-legged, and then calmed his mind, and the qi flowed through the hundred meridians, and the ten thousand yuan returned to one.
Threads of true energy flowed through his body, just like the endless stream of water in the valley. Xiao Chen breathed in and out for a long time, and at the same time, he also understood the sword tactics of the Three Talents Sword.
As a breeze blew, the fallen leaves were rolled up. Before the leaves fell into the stream, Xiao Chen opened his eyes in an instant, picked up a branch, used the branch as a sword, and stabbed it with a sword. The sword energy condensed at one point, and with a "swish", the fallen leaves were immediately pierced, but the fallen leaves were also shattered.
The reason why the fallen leaves were shattered by the sword energy was that he did not concentrate enough. If he could completely concentrate the sword energy at one point without dispersing it, then the fallen leaves would not be shattered.
To practice the Three Talents Sword, you must first practice concentration, just like the old beggar, whose control of power has almost reached a superb level, so he can leave words on pieces of bamboo leaves with sword energy.
After practicing repeatedly for seven days, Xiao Chen's control over power had begun to show results. Half a month later, he was basically able to start practicing the "Three Talents Sword".
During this half month, he practiced "Gathering Power" in the deep valley during the day, and would go back to the cave to see Hua Weiyang at night. However, after starting to practice the Three Talents Sword, he could not go back every night.
That night, the moon was bright and clear, and the whole Qingmu Cliff was as clear as a wash. The night of mid-spring in February was much warmer than the early spring of the first lunar month. However, Hua Weiyang was still lying quietly on the stone bed as she had been half a month ago, without any sign of waking up. Shen Jing was actually a little worried. If she never woke up again, what would happen to Xiao Chen?
That night passed silently. On the second day, Xiao Chen went to the Abyss Canyon and began to practice the Three Talents Sword. The power of the Three Talents Sword was extraordinary and it would be useful in the future.
But as the old beggar said, this sword technique is not something that everyone can practice. The third level can't be practiced overnight. Even if you practice it, it's not easy to reach perfection.
…
Another month passed unknowingly. It was already late spring in March. The ice and snow in the valley had melted long ago, and all things revived. Flowers bloomed in the forest, and birds and beasts also increased unknowingly.
"Swish!"
With a sharp sound, a beam of mysterious sword energy rose into the air, breaking through the clouds, startling the white crane in the sky and flying away quickly.
Looking at the sword energy in the sky gradually disappearing, Xiao Chen slowly calmed his breath, thinking that the Three Talents Sword was indeed extremely powerful. Only the first layer of "human sword" could penetrate the clouds in the sky. If this sword was aimed at a person, who could withstand it?
However, its disadvantages were also very obvious. Although it only consumed 30% of the true essence, it was also very serious. Suddenly losing 30% of the true essence was like a mortal suddenly losing 30% of the blood in his body. If he was not a person with deep internal strength, he would definitely feel dizzy.
Now after practicing for a month, Xiao Chen has been able to control it freely without dizziness, but this sword move can only be performed three times at most if it is continuous, and it will exhaust his true essence.
The most important thing for people who practice Taoism is to avoid the depletion of their true essence. Once their true essence is exhausted, if they cannot recover in time, they will not only face many dangers, but it will also hinder their future practice.
