Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 103: Sword Contains Sword
Qin Mengyao hesitated and asked, "But wouldn't it be bad for Master Shen if we did this?"

"Cihang Sword Classic" If you want to practice to the highest level, you must cut off all emotions and love.

Using people as emotional barriers is also a special saying of Cihang Jingzhai.

It means choosing a person, letting the saint who practices the "Cihang Sword Canon" know and fall in love with him, and finally breaking free from this emotion, from sinking to transcendence.

As the saint of Cihang Jingzhai, she must also maintain her virginity.

This will lead to the relationship ending in failure.

This is the case with the heads of Cihang Jingzhai throughout the generations.

The same is true for Yan Jing'an.

But unfortunately, just when Yan Jing'an chose Pang Ban as his love interest, the Qinglong Society incident happened.

As a result, Yan Jing'an is now stuck at the emotional level in "Cihang Sword Canon" and is unable to break through.

Seeing Qin Mengyao's hesitation, Yan Jing'an said in a deep voice: "Master knows, but doing this will also benefit Shen Pingan."

In Qin Mengyao's confusion, Yan Jing'an explained: "This boy has unparalleled talent, but he has an excessively murderous heart. On Guangmingding, he slaughtered thousands of archers from the Great Yuan Kingdom alone."

"After you invite this person back to Cihang Jingzhai, you can also use the refreshing Buddhist chants and the clear sword heart of my Cihang Jingzhai to sort out the murderous intent and dispel the murderous nature in your heart."

"If he can also overcome the barrier of love in the future, his achievements will be limitless."

After taking a short breath, Yan Jing'an continued, "Your junior sister Bai Jing also sent news from the palace earlier, saying that Tiedan Shenhou and Cao Zhengchun had both had conflicts with this boy, and his reputation has reached the ears of the emperor."

"Currently, the East Factory and the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis are constantly fighting."

"Zhu Wusi may appear loyal, but he is actually extremely ambitious. If Cao Zhengchun fails, given Zhu Wusi's ambition, war will likely break out."

For hundreds of years, Cihang Jingzhai was the only force in the martial arts world that was willing and keen to defend the imperial power.

It is also for this reason that Cihang Jingzhai has a very special status.

Cihang Jingzhai can also be said to be the hub between the underworld and the imperial court in the Ming Dynasty.

If there are any problems between people in the martial arts world and other forces or the imperial court, it is more useful to find Cihang Jingzhai than to find forces like Wudang and Northern Shaolin.

When the imperial court has important decisions regarding the martial arts world, it will notify Cihang Jingzhai immediately.

This is to maintain the stability of the martial arts world and the Ming Dynasty.

After listening to what Yan Jing'an said and knowing the pros and cons of it, Qin Mengyao felt a chill in her heart.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly stable and prosperous Ming Dynasty was actually undercurrents.

At this time, Yan Jing'an spoke again: "You are the Holy Maiden of Cihang Jingzhai of my Great Ming Kingdom. You are born to bear many responsibilities. Although Shen Pingan is in the martial arts world, if we guide him properly and make him our own, he can also work with my Cihang Jingzhai to protect the royal family and maintain the stability of the Great Ming Kingdom."

After hearing what Yan Jing'an said, Qin Mengyao took a deep breath, then said solemnly: "Disciple understands. I will leave for Yuyang City in a few days."

Yuyang City.

Shen's Villa
Compared to half a month ago.

The environment of the villa remained the same at this time, without any change.

But the difference is that at this moment, the Shen family villa is filled with a unique cold atmosphere.

The two servants had just stepped into the villa from the side door when they suddenly felt that the air around them seemed to be a little more dull, making their originally light bodies feel a little heavy.

If any swordsman in the martial arts world stepped into the villa, they would definitely discover that this change was caused by the sword energy that filled the villa.

Sword washing pool.

Compared to half a month ago, there are now more than a hundred swords in the sword pool.

For more than half of them, only the hilts were exposed, while the sword bodies were deeply inserted into the bottom of the pool.

Among them were dozens of broken blades that were accidentally destroyed by Shen Qingshan and Qu Feiyan when they were practicing sword skills.

At this moment, a sword blade fell rapidly from top to bottom in the center of the sword pool.

As the sword blade penetrated deeper into the bottom of the pool, the dripping sword energy also surged at this moment, continuously rushing out from the hilt like the smoke before a volcanic eruption, echoing around the stone chamber, and then drilling into the bottom of the sword pool.

Next to the sword pool, feeling the rich sword energy that filled the stone chamber, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but say, "The sword energy and sword intent in this stone chamber are too strong! I feel that if an ordinary person who hasn't comprehended the sword intent stepped into the stone chamber where the sword pool is located, they would be injured by this sword energy and sword intent."

Shen Qingshan said helplessly, "That's why my father has ordered people to strictly forbid our clan members from entering the stone chamber where the sword washing pool is located."

Shen Qingshan and Qu Feiyan are only at the first level of sword intent now. Even if they mix their own sword intent with the sword force of "Piaomiao Sword Technique" and inject it into the sword and insert it into the sword pool, the effect will be limited.

The real reason why the Sword Washing Pool changed so much was because of Shen Pingan.

In the past half month, Shen Pingan has been coming to the sword washing pool every day without fail. He then mixes his own sword intent with the Sword Nine of the "Piaomiao Sword Technique" and injects it into the sword blade before inserting it into the sword washing pool.

Coupled with the effect of Xuanji Qianqing Jade, these sword intentions and sword forces not only did not dissipate, but became more condensed.

Now, because of the sword intent and sword power in the sword washing pool, sword energy has begun to emerge in this stone chamber.

Even if one's cultivation had reached the early stages of the Guiyuan Realm, anyone who entered the stone chamber without mastering the sword's will would be immediately injured by the sword energy. However, as the two sighed, Shen Pingan shook his head: "It's still too little."

Although the voice was soft, as people who had been with Shen Ping'an day and night, Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan could not help but hear the dissatisfaction in Shen Ping'an's tone.

Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan felt the sword energy and sword intent wandering around in the stone chamber, and their expressions were strange.

"Isn't this enough?"

After a moment's thought, Qu Feiyan asked, "Sir, is there any other use for this sword-washing pool?"

Shen Pingan nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Raising his hand, he drew a sword blade placed on the ground in the stone chamber into his hand. While slowly infusing the sword intent into the blade, Shen Pingan said, "My swift sword intent has reached the ninth level of sword intent. If I want to take another step forward and reach perfection, I will also need a large amount of sword intent and sword energy."

What Shen Ping'an had said to Shen Tiannan before that the Sword Washing Pool was useful to Shen Ping'an was not just a casual remark, but the Sword Washing Pool was indeed useful to Shen Ping'an.

The sword intent seed condensed from the origin of the quick sword in Shen Ping'an's body has reached its end.

At most, it would take another two or three months for him to break out of the cocoon, and his fast sword intent would also reach the ninth level.

But compared to the previous nine levels, the difficulty of achieving perfection in sword skills has increased a hundred times.

Not only that.

Now Shen Ping'an has also comprehended the sword intent of drizzle and sudden rain.

The two kinds of sword intent also require two perfect sword intents to be able to condense the sword intent seeds together.

Instead of wasting time and effort to take advantage of the Zhantian Sword Intent, it would be better to improve the Kuaijian Sword Intent to perfection first.

Moreover, with Shen Ping'an's current attainments in swordsmanship and system, who knows when Shen Ping'an will comprehend new sword intent?
Compared with saving money, it is better to open up new sources of income once and for all.

Shen Qingshan was stunned and said, "Having a large amount of sword intent and sword energy can make the sword intent enter the perfect realm from the ninth level?"

Shen Pingan glanced at Shen Qingshan and said, "That's a nice thought."

In the astonishment of Shen Qingshan, Shen Pingan explained: "After the sword will reaches the ninth level, there are only two ways to make the sword will reach perfection."

"The first method is to proceed step by step and continuously enhance one's understanding of the way of the sword."

"If one's sword cultivation can reach the third level of sword cultivation, the state of unity between man and sword, the speed of improving the origin of sword cultivation will also increase."

"Once the essence of sword intent has accumulated enough, the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change, and the sword intent will reach perfection."

"However, it takes too long. Even if one has already entered the realm of swordsmanship where the sword is one with the human, it will take at least several years, or even decades, for the essence of the sword's will to achieve transformation."

Qu Feiyan exclaimed, "It takes so long just to advance from the ninth level of Sword Intent to the perfection of Sword Intent, and this is for a master who has already entered the third level of Sword Intent. No wonder so few have been able to achieve perfection in Sword Intent over the past hundred years."

Shen Pingan said softly: "Although it is the same realm, there is a world of difference between them. The requirements are naturally beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

"What about the second one?" Qu Feiyan asked.

Shen Pingan continued: "The second is to use the sword to contain the sword."

"Separate the source of perfect sword intent, and nourish it with a large amount of sword intent and sword energy to accelerate the accumulation of the source of sword intent."

"But to achieve this, the prerequisite is to master a perfect sword intent and have a large amount of external sword intent and sword energy to stimulate it."

“You can’t have one without the other.”

Shen Qingshan's eyelids twitched.

Originally, Shen Qingshan listened attentively, thinking that the method Shen Pingan mentioned might be useful to them later.

But after hearing that the prerequisite for using this method of using the sword to contain the sword is to first master a perfect sword intent, the idea in my mind was immediately dispelled.

“This is too harsh!”

Shen Pingan said calmly: "It is a quick method. If the conditions were not too harsh, how could it be so difficult to improve the sword intent?"

Qu Feiyan glanced at the Sword Washing Pool and suddenly realized, "Could it be that the Young Master wanted to build this Sword Washing Pool just to allow it to gather a large amount of unowned sword intent and sword energy?"

Shen Pingan said calmly, "The Xuanji Qianqing Jade is special. It can gather energy and make the sword intent and sword energy condense and not disperse. So I just need to increase the sword intent and sword energy in this sword washing pool. I can also use the sword-containing sword method to improve the fast sword intent to perfection."

"But the amount of sword intent and sword energy in this sword washing pool is still far from what I need."

Shen Qingshan asked: "What level do we need to reach?"

Shen Pingan said: "Triple it again!"

After saying that, Shen Pingan once again threw the sword in his hand, which was already filled with sword intent, into the sword washing pool.

"That's not bad! It's not too much!"

According to Shen Ping'an's requirements, it would take at most two months for the concentration of sword intent and sword energy in the stone chamber to reach the required level.
