Chapter 1538: Little Tricks

After a few rounds, he was sweating profusely. This is more tiring than carrying water and materials.

However, if it fails, this is part of the plan, and Chen Xuan has nothing to be discouraged.

The next step is to change the way to cultivate spiritual power. Chen Xuan summoned the fourth level of mental power that he remembered in his heart.

"The fourth level is the state of closing the heart. Gather your thoughts, hold on to your heart, and withstand hundreds of blows. This is the great success. ..."

This state of concern emphasizes concentration and resistance. After practicing for thousands of times, you can reach the peak, and then it is time to break through.

This is contrary to the third level of distraction. Chen Xuan cannot train in these two aspects at the same time. He can only practice distraction first and then focus.

Fortunately, although this level of realm is high, the method is extremely simple. To penetrate it, it is just the two words "collect" and "strike". "Collection" means to collect one's breath and calm the mind, while "strike" requires accepting the test of a chaotic environment.

It seems that in order to cultivate this level, Chen Xuan must find a more complicated place. Otherwise, given the quietness of the fourth level he is currently in, it will be more difficult for him to master this level than to climb up.

What Chen Xuan wants to practice now is the initial "collection" formula. Only when he has mastered "collection" will he consider practicing "strike".

To try the four-fold mind method, the next step is to read "Introduction to Sword Art".

The so-called basics refer to the most basic things about swords, such as the parts of the sword, their respective functions, what are the basic sword styles, the history of the sword, which famous sword masters are there in the Five Elements Continent, etc. .

But the most important of them all is the sword pose. There are as many as seventeen basic sword styles, and Chen Xuan could only understand some of them for a while. Chen Xuan could understand things like tapping the sword, lifting the sword, splitting the sword, stabbing the sword, stirring the sword, and sharpening the sword at a glance, but breaking the sword, hanging the sword, holding the sword, etc. were a bit complicated, and Chen Xuan had to carefully understand the above. mean.

Of course, this must be done slowly, one by one, and be memorized so that you can use it when needed.

After watching "Introduction to Sword Art" for a while, we got to the main event. "Twelve Styles of Sword Art", the styles are extremely powerful and require repeated practice.

The first thing to practice is of course the first move, "Three-Star Moon Sword Nodding". This move mainly uses the point-sword style, stabbing the same target from three different directions. It trains speed and accuracy.

Chen Xuan took out the sword given to him by Du Zisong and thrust out the sword one by one as required. Even if he stabbed at the same position at the same time, Chen Xuangang could not always hit one point at first, let alone grasp the same point from three directions.

However, Chen Xuan also knew that as long as he kept practicing, he would eventually be able to meet the requirements. All he had to do was spend time practicing repeatedly.

Just doing the same movements without any new ideas, Chen Xuan has been practicing sword practice for two hours. What he feels now is that his hand is getting heavier and heavier, and he can hardly lift the sword anymore. After persisting for a while, Chen Xuan finally reached his limit and had to stop. All of today's training was over.

While resting, what still needs to be done is to create the best wood spirit crystal. Once this becomes a habit, Chen Xuan feels itchy in his heart even if he doesn't think about it.

Just like this day after day, half a year later, Chen Xuan has made great progress in all fields.

When Qi refining has reached the peak of Qi lifting state, seventeen spiritual energy can enter the body at the same time. The prerequisite for reaching this step is of course that he can control the seventeenth spiritual energy at the same time. This is an improvement in mental power, but this improvement is somewhat negligible compared to half a year.

In terms of spiritual cultivation, what is more effective is that Chen Xuan has perfected the ability to stick to his thoughts, and has also found some noisy environments to accept slight disturbances. Being disturbed is the initial stage of being hit, and it is also a very necessary stage. If he can easily accept interference, Chen Xuan will be able to practice his other skills no matter what environment he is in in the future. This fully demonstrates the power of mind training to assist Qi training.

As for "Introduction to Sword Art", Chen Xuan was already familiar with it. The first move of "Twelve Sword Techniques", "Three-Star Moon Sword Nod", has also been completed. In terms of accuracy, Chen Xuan can stab one point with three swords. If this point is the enemy's throat or heart, then Chen Xuan Xuan can definitely miss with one hit, then hit with two hits, miss with two hits, and hit with three hits. All three attacks hit the same location, which really makes people tired of guarding. If it were used for a sneak attack, I'm afraid Chen Xuan would be able to defeat Zheng Zheng with one strike.

It's just that in the time interval between the three strikes, because Chen Xuan's Qi refining level is not high, he can't fire three swords in succession. Therefore, Chen Xuan cannot reach the peak of this style now. He can only wait until his level improves in the future. By then , this move will automatically advance without any deliberate practice.

The second move of "The Twelve Sword Techniques" is "Raise the Meteor Chasing Moon Sword". Chen Xuan has also begun to practice this move. However, this move uses the fencing style. The key point is speed. This is Chen Xuan's shortcomings. The board can only be improved slowly.

In the past six months, Chen Xuan felt that he had grown a little bit taller, which could be felt from the way he dressed. Those new clothes were a little too big when they were made before, but now they fit just right.

It's just that Chen Xuan didn't come back with the elders at the beginning of the year, and spent all the opportunities for a year's leave to go out. Now he feels bored staying in the sect and really wants to go out and relax.

Of course, there is a way to get out, that is to accept the task, but the task of exchanging spirit crystals has been completed long ago, and the various spirit crystals of the sect are now in good order, so it is impossible to issue such tasks for a while. If Chen Xuan wants to accept tasks, he must accept some other tasks. And these tasks can be quite difficult to do, or have a certain degree of risk.

When he was bored, Chen Xuan came to the task list to check. He saw that the top of the list had issued a new task: "Kill a beast of the same realm, which can be equivalent to the three-month task."

This task was just issued not long ago. Just when Chen Xuan was considering whether to accept this task, more and more disciples of the Shenxin Sect surrounded the task list.

"Have you heard it? The human race alliance is going to completely wipe out the beasts behind the human race. This time, the sect issued the task of killing the beasts, which was assigned by the human race alliance." A disciple with a seventh-level spiritual power cultivation said to the person next to him.

"It should have been done long ago. It's too late to do it now. I'm afraid that the beastmen with fighting power have been pulled to the east and north."

"How do you assign tasks to the human alliance?" a disciple asked.

"By the number of people, all disciples in the sect will kill one beastman of the same level. It is said that there are inspectors coming to check."

"Why didn't the sect assign these tasks to us?"

"Of course the sect has its own considerations. If everyone comes out, the sect will be in chaos. Besides, as a disciple of the Shenxin Sect, just killing beastmen of the same level, don't you think this is too common? I believe that as long as we pass the sect task list, we can easily solve these assigned tasks." The disciple said proudly.

"You make a lot of sense. There is really no need for our sect to assign tasks to specific people. We disciples who are in a hurry to complete the tasks can solve them."

"You are bragging again. You can easily solve the beasts of the same realm as you, but have you ever thought about it? Our sect has many elders at the top of the cultivator realm and the semi-immortal realm. It will be much more troublesome for them to kill the beasts of the same realm. The main thing is where can they find so many high-level beasts to kill?"

"Yes! There are simply not so many high-level beasts in the rear."

"Do you have to worry about all this? The human race alliance has obviously thought of a solution a long time ago. Ten beasts of lower realms can offset one of the same level. For example, if you are a cultivator of the third level, you can kill ten beasts equivalent to the second level of cultivators to offset the task. At worst, you can also kill a hundred beasts of the first level of cultivators."

"This is a good idea. It seems that those low-level beasts are doomed this time."

"This is just one of the methods. There are even simpler ones. You just need to join the Human Alliance Army and you don't need to complete the mission."

"Oh, the Human Alliance is taking the opportunity to recruit men."

After hearing this, Chen Xuan understood what happened roughly, but then he had a question and asked: "Excuse me, senior brother, the task of killing the beastmen this time should not be done by Shenxinmen alone! If all the sects go to surround and kill the beastmen, where can we find so many beastmen?"

"Chen Xuan, well, you asked the point. The beastmen are already in a hidden state in the rear, and it is quite difficult to find them. We can only rush to surround some primeval forests before others. Only there can we find some gathered beastmen. We must hurry up. If we go too late, we may make a wasted trip. And it will be very dangerous to act alone this time."

"Why?" Everyone said in unison.

"With limited resources in the beast tribe, there will be robbery. Besides, other sects will definitely attack together. If you go alone, you will be outnumbered and risk losing your life." The disciple of the seventh level laughed.

Everyone suddenly realized.

"From now on, the disciples who want to take the task should register with me first, and then we will gather 20 people and take the task together. What do you think?" said the senior brother.

"Senior Brother Qi, I am willing to go with you."

"I will go too."

Some disciples immediately joined the team of Senior Brother Qi of the seventh level. However, those disciples were all above the cultivator level, which made some disciples of the mortal level very hesitant.

Of course, Chen Xuan also hesitated. It would be a good choice to join such a team organized by strong people, but his cultivation level was only the fifth level of the mortal level. If Senior Brother Qi rejected him, wouldn't it be a great shame.
