Shi Potian travels through Linghu Chong

Chapter 64 Dugu Nine Swords
Shi Potian had been thinking about these two questions for more than half a month, but seeing Yue Buqun busy coming and going every day, he did not disturb him.

Now that I have the chance, I naturally have to ask.

Shi Potian was afraid that Yue Buqun didn't understand what he said, so he added: "Just like this." He put his right hand together to make a sword finger and pointed to the side.

I saw a sword energy burst out from the fingertips, and with a light "puff" sound, a bottomless small hole appeared on the stone wall.

Yue Buqun had already thought of how to answer, but when he saw this scene, he was stunned. After coming to his senses, he hurriedly asked: "Is this sword energy? Chong'er, how did you do it?"

Shi Potian explained: "First condense the true energy into sword energy, and then strike it out." As he spoke, he raised his sword finger, and the true energy flowed at the fingertips to form an inch-long golden sword light that flickered.

There is no essential difference between sword light and sword energy, and it has little to do with swordsmanship. Instead, it is a skill of using true energy.

The only difference is that one is to condense but not release, while the other is to hit out directly.

This is also what Shi Potian is best at.

Feng Qingyang simply gave Shi Potian a few pointers and explained the key tricks.

Shi Potian mastered it immediately, and because of his stronger internal strength, he even showed signs of surpassing his master.

Shi Potian did not hide anything from Yue Buqun and told him the method of condensing sword energy that Feng Qingyang taught him.

Yue Buqun was also a person with profound internal strength, and he had a rough idea of ​​it just by listening.

He knew very well that Shi Potian had a terrifying talent for internal energy, and thought that this was something Shi Potian had figured out on his own. Seeing Shi Potian's expression of seeking advice, he said, "Chong'er, you have such a powerful power because you have a strong internal energy and can directly send out your true energy. What if it was your junior brothers and sisters?"

"It's true that the key point of Huashan's martial arts is 'Qi', but cultivating internal strength is not an easy task. Not only is it difficult to get started, but it's also difficult to see results in a short period of time. Only by gradually accumulating strength and then releasing it, and when the internal strength reaches a certain level, can the power be revealed."

"Thus, although our Huashan Sect focuses on Qi training, we have never given up swordsmanship. Our ancestors have also worked hard to create various swordsmanship techniques for Huashan, which has established the great reputation of our Huashan Sect."

Shi Potian's face was filled with more doubts: "Master, internal skills are difficult to learn and progress is slow, so why don't we try to make it easier and progress faster? Instead of studying swordsmanship?"

Yue Buqun was stunned for a moment, then his eyes gradually brightened up, and he looked at Shi Potian more eagerly.

He used to just believe that Shi Potian could lead the Huashan Sect to prosperity, but he didn't have a clear idea of ​​how Shi Potian would lead the Huashan Sect to prosperity.

Now, he seemed to see this path.

If Shi Potian can really do what he said and make the Huashan Sect's internal skills easier to practice and progress faster, then it will be hard for their Huashan Qi Sect not to prosper!
Yue Buqun said solemnly: "Chong'er, your idea is correct, but it is extremely difficult to achieve this. You can give it a try. If it can really make the cultivation of internal energy easier and the progress faster, it will be of great benefit to your fellow disciples and sisters, and to our entire Huashan Sect."

When Shi Potian heard this, he immediately became very motivated and said "hmm" loudly.

Seeing this, Yue Buqun quickly warned: "Chong'er, this is not something that can be done overnight. Don't be anxious. Take your time. If you encounter any problems, just come to me and we can discuss it together as master and disciple."

Seeing Shi Potian nod in agreement, Yue Buqun asked again: "Didn't you just say that you still have a question about 'controlling the sword with Qi'? What do you want to ask?"

Shi Potian said: "I want to know what it means to control the sword with Qi?"

Yue Buqun was startled. He did not expect Shi Potian to ask such an ordinary question. He explained, "To control a weapon with true Qi and make it move at will is called controlling the sword with Qi. What's wrong? Do you have any doubts?"

Shi Potian shook his hands repeatedly: "I thought so too. I thought I had misunderstood."

Yue Buqun heard Shi Potian say this and did not ask any more questions. Seeing that it was getting late, he said, "Chong'er, let's go back first. Your junior sister and the others haven't seen you for a while, and they have been missing you all these days."

Yue Buqun was worried that the secret of the secret cave in the Cliff of Repentance would be exposed, so in addition to asking Lu Dayou to deliver meals to Shi Potian every day, he strictly forbade any Huashan disciples to come to the Cliff of Repentance.

Especially Yue Lingshan.

Other Huashan disciples did not dare to disobey his orders, but Yue Lingshan was an exception. Once she learned about the secret cave from Shi Potian, she would definitely go in to check it out, and even Shi Potian could not stop her.

Shi Potian had been staying alone on the cliff these days, and had long missed his fellow apprentices. He was very happy to hear this, but he thought of Feng Qingyang coming to see him every night, so he asked, "Master, can I come back here to stay at night?"

Yue Buqun thought that Shi Potian felt that the quietness of Siguo Cliff was good for his closed-door training. Thinking of Shi Potian's rapid progress in swordsmanship and inner strength, he agreed without hesitation: "As long as you feel comfortable, you can go anywhere and stay as long as you want."

Shi Potian was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master."

The two of them descended from the Cliff of Repentance and returned to the Huashan Sect, where there was laughter and joy.

Yue Lingshan was reluctant to hear that Shi Potian was going back to Siguo Cliff to practice in seclusion, but this period was a critical period for her to practice Hunyuan Yi Qigong.

Yue Buqun was worried that she would be distracted, so he didn't let her meet Shi Potian at all.

Today, she was able to make the breakthrough only because she had made a significant breakthrough in Hunyuan Yi Qigong a few days ago.

Yue Lingshan could only beg Lu Da to send more food and snacks to Shi Potian, and told Shi Potian to take good care of himself.

Time flies and half a month passes.

That morning, Shi Potian was sitting cross-legged in the cave, practicing the Huashan introductory internal skills, Zixia magic skills, Luohan subduing demon magic skills, and the recently learned Hunyuan Qigong, one by one, looking for the similarities and differences among them.

Suddenly, a very low sound of footsteps was heard coming from outside the cave.

Shi Potian's heart moved, but he did not open his eyes and continued to circulate his internal energy.

It was not until the man came behind him and stretched out his hands to him that he turned around suddenly and made a face.

The person who came was so frightened that he screamed "Ah" and took several steps back.

Lu Dayou's laughter could be heard from outside: "Junior sister, I've already told you that Senior Brother has profound inner strength. Even when he is practicing, he can hear everything. It's impossible for you to scare Senior Brother, but you still don't believe it."

Yue Lingshan snorted, glared at Shi Potian and said, "Big Brother, you are so mean! You knew I was coming, but you pretended not to know and tried to scare me."

Shi Potian knew that Yue Lingshan was not really angry, so he laughed foolishly and asked, "Junior Sister, why did you come with Sixth Junior Brother today?"

Yue Lingshan asked: "Why? Don't you want to see me?"

Shi Potian said hurriedly: "How could that be? I wanted to find you before, but Master said that you are in the critical period of practicing Hunyuan Yi Qigong and would not let me disturb you. Junior Sister, have you mastered Hunyuan Yi Qigong?"

Yue Lingshan said, "It's not that simple! But it's just a little bit away!" She made a tiny distance between her thumb and index finger. Lu Dayou interrupted, "Big Brother, Junior Sister didn't come here with Master's permission. She sneaked out on her own."

"Some of the gangsters who believed the rumors and came to Shaanxi were driven away by you and Master after their martial arts were destroyed. The rest dared not come to Huashan to cause trouble, but instead caused trouble all over Shaanxi."

"Master felt that he couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so he went down the mountain to deal with these things. Master's wife was busy with the Qingming Festival ancestor worship recently, and Junior Sister had no one to take care of her, so she pestered me to follow her."

Yue Lingshan stamped her feet and said, "Lu Hou, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

As she spoke, Yue Lingshan opened the lunch box she had brought. Inside was not only food, snacks, and preserved fruits, but even a palm-sized jar of wine.

Yue Lingshan took credit for it and said, "Big Brother, I wrote a letter to ask Sister Huo to send this wine from the mountain. It is the best twenty-year-old Fen wine. Come and try it."

Lu Dayou was not willing to be outdone: "This Fenjiu is nothing, after all it is something that can be bought with money. Big Brother, the monkeys I raised recently brewed a gourd of monkey wine, I will send it to you in a few days to taste, it is a rare fine wine in the world."

Shi Potian was happy watching the two people bickering there. He picked up the Fenjiu and opened the lid. He could smell the aroma of the wine. It was indeed a rare good wine.

Yue Lingshan said, "Big Brother, let me pour you some." She picked up the wine jar and bowl and poured a full bowl.

Lu Dayou found an excuse and left first.

He insisted on going up the mountain with Yue Lingshan simply because it had rained last night and the mountain road was slippery, and he was worried that something might happen to Yue Lingshan. Now that Yue Lingshan had been sent there, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

Although Yue Lingshan had met Shi Potian before, there were many senior brothers and sisters around, so many things were not convenient to say.

Seeing that Lu Dayou had gone down the mountain, and only she and Shi Potian were left on the Cliff of Repentance, she no longer cared about being reserved and sat down beside Shi Potian, picking up food and pouring wine for him while expressing her longing for him during this period of time.

Apart from that, she couldn't help but complain about how strict Yue Buqun had been with her during this period, and how hard it had been for her to practice Hunyuan Qigong.

In the past, Shi Potian was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off. He had a lot of understanding and comprehension of internal energy, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Now, he had been instructed more by Feng Qingyang and had also learned how to correct mistakes. He immediately asked about the specific situation of Yue Lingshan's practice of Hunyuan Yi Qigong, and compared it with his own practice of Hunyuan Yi Qigong, pointing out the problems.

Yue Lingshan: “…” I tell you all this because I want you to comfort and care about me, not because I want you to teach me!

Yue Lingshan was helpless, but looking at Shi Potian's serious expression, she could only obey him.

The original romantic relationship instantly turned into teaching guidance.

Yue Lingshan was somewhat reluctant at first, but she soon discovered that although Shi Potian didn't talk much and what he said was extremely simple, he always pointed out the crux of her problem.

Although she didn't quite understand a lot of it, and Shi Potian himself couldn't quite explain it, as long as she did what Shi Potian said, the results were unexpectedly good.

Yue Lingshan unknowingly became serious and concentrated on practicing Hunyuan Qigong, completely forgetting the purpose of her trip.

It was not until dusk that the light in the cave completely dimmed.

Yue Lingshan suddenly realized that she had missed dinner time, and hurriedly got up and walked down the mountain: "Oh no! Mother must have noticed that I'm gone! Senior Brother, I'm leaving first!"

Shi Potian said: "I'll take you down the mountain."

Yue Lingshan waved her hands repeatedly: "No need, if mother knew that I delayed your practice, she would definitely blame me."

Yue Lingshan didn't want to trouble Shi Potian to send her back and forth, but Shi Potian was worried about her safety on the road, so he insisted on sending her down the Cliff of Repentance. He watched her return to Huashan Sect before returning to the cliff.

The next morning, the person who delivered the meal was once again Lu Dayou.

Shi Potian thought that Yue Lingshan was punished after being discovered by Ning Zhongze, so he wanted to plead for Yue Lingshan.

After asking, I found out that Ning Zhongze had not noticed this at all.

The reason why Yue Lingshan didn't come was because she finally broke through the last bottleneck last night and mastered the Hunyuan Qigong. She originally wanted to be the first to report the good news to him.

Ning Zhongze was worried that Yue Lingshan's foundation was unstable, so he strictly ordered Yue Lingshan to stay in Yousuobuweixuan to consolidate the Hunyuan Yi Qigong she had just learned.

Lu Dayou's tone was full of envy: "Big Brother, Junior Sister is the fourth person in our Huashan Sect who has mastered Hunyuan Yi Qigong, besides Master, Master's Wife, and you. I don't know when Master will allow me to practice Hunyuan Yi Qigong."

Time flies and another three days have passed.

That night, when Shi Potian came out of the Siguo Cliff Cave, he saw Feng Qingyang standing on a blue stone at the edge of the cliff, staring blankly at the Huashan Sect on the mountainside.

A thin figure and a head full of white hair.

Gusts of cold wind blew by, and the sleeves of the clothes fluttered and rustled, as if they would be blown away by the wind at any time.

Shi Potian shouted, "Old man, you are here. What are we going to learn today?"

Feng Qingyang came back to his senses and said, "I have taught you almost everything I can. There is only one last thing left..."

Shi Potian suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if something bad would happen after he agreed to this matter.

Feng Qingyang continued: "Nine Swords of Dugu, it... um? What are you doing?"

Before Feng Qingyang finished speaking, he saw Shi Potian covering his ears and closing his eyes.

"Hey, kid! What the hell are you doing!"

Feng Qingyang was confused and shouted several times, but there was no response from Shi Potian. He could only walk forward and try to pull away Shi Potian's hands that were covering his ears.

But, it failed to pull.

Shi Potian shook his head desperately and said, "I don't want to learn any Dugu Nine Swords. I don't want to learn. I just want the old uncle."

Feng Qingyang was slightly stunned and looked at Shi Potian in disbelief.

Did he sense what I was thinking?
