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

Chapter 57: The Secret of Sword Dao, Sword Rhythm Condenses the Soul (5,000-word chapter, please pre-order)

Same as last time I saw it.

Today, Yan Shisan was still wearing a black robe. Even though he was just standing there, he could make people feel a kind of indifference that penetrated deep into their bones.

Shen Ping'an felt a little surprised, as he didn't expect Yan Shisan to come over suddenly.

However, when Yan Shisan approached, feeling the more obvious smell of medicinal herbs at the tip of his nose, his eyes moved slightly, looking at Yan Shisan's even paler face, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Shen Ping'an's eyes.

After a few breaths, as Yan Shisan stepped into the pavilion, Shen Pingan gently raised his hand to signal.

However, the moment he sat down, Yan Shisan couldn't help coughing.

The lung sounds are hollow and have a distinct mute quality.

With Shen Ping'an's medical skills, he could tell that Yan Shisan's illness had become more serious.

In response to this, Shen Pingan shook his head and said, "I originally thought that Senior Yan's sudden appearance meant that he had already mastered the fifteenth sword, but now it seems that he didn't come to challenge me."

Yan Shisan took a deep breath and circulated the true energy in his body to suppress the discomfort in his body.

Then he looked at Shen Pingan and asked, "Do you know medical skills?"

Shen Pingan nodded, "Not bad!"

Although Shen Ping'an's medical skills are only advanced, that is the system's judgment.

According to the system's evaluation, the so-called miracle doctors in the martial arts world, such as Hu Qingniu, the medical immortal of Die Valley, and Ping Yizhi, the famous murderous doctor, are only at the advanced level in terms of medical skills, and at most have reached the threshold of the master level.

Therefore, as far as Shen Ping'an's medical skills are concerned, they are already first-class in the world today.

There are very few who can match him.

Yan Shisan said bluntly, "Last time you said that if others couldn't cure my illness, I could come to you and try."

Yan Shisan felt that it didn't matter if he died as long as he could fight with Xie Xiaofeng.

After knowing that he was terminally ill
Shen Ping'an did not respond, but gently stretched out a hand, with his thumb and little finger bent, and reached towards Yan Shisan.

Seeing Shen Ping'an's bent gesture, he immediately realized what Shen Ping'an meant.

He immediately raised his right hand and placed it on the table, allowing Shen Ping'an's fingers to rest on his wrist.

Ten breaths later, Shen Pingan finished taking the pulse and nodded, "It can be cured."

There was a sense of certainty in the gentle voice.

Yan Shisan's eyes flashed when he saw Shen Ping'an's reply.

The dignified and deadly swordsman Yan Shisan has never been a person who fears death.

Before meeting Shen Ping'an, Yan Shisan never cared about his illness.

But what Yan Shisan cared about was how and when he died.

In Yan Shisan's current mind, even if he were to die, it should be after challenging Shen Pingan.

Not now.

Retracting his hand, Yan Shisan asked directly, "What do you want?"

Shen Pingan smiled: "Senior Yan is quite direct."

Yan Shisan's tone was still somewhat indifferent as he said, "There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Even a child understands this."

Listening to Yan Shisan's words, Shen Pingan smiled gently.

Then he slowly said, "Fei Yan, get a jug of wine from the Jiazi No. 5 wine room."

A hundred breaths later, Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan, holding wine jugs, entered the garden from the yard.

The moment the two approached, they immediately noticed Yan Shisan sitting opposite Shen Pingan in the pavilion.

The two people who were originally distracted suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

After placing the wine pot handed to him by Qu Feiyan on the table, Shen Pingan raised his finger slightly, and the sword energy bursting out from his fingertips drew a stream of water from the wine pot on the stove into the empty cup beside him.

Then the strong energy pushed it in front of Yan Shisan.

As the wine glass approached, a faint aroma of wine mixed with a unique herbal fragrance drifted into Yan Shisan's nose.

Yan Shisan couldn't help but lower his eyes to look at the clear and green wine in the cup.

After looking up at Shen Ping'an, Yan Shisan raised his glass and drank it all.

The taste of the wine is not strong, and because the fermentation time is not long, the aroma of the wine still has a bit of the sweet aroma of fermented glutinous rice.

Coupled with the influence of the medicine, the taste actually becomes more refreshing.

However, as the wine went down his throat, a surge of medicinal power suddenly rose and spread throughout Yan Shisan's body.

Under the influence of pharmacology, Yan Shisan actually felt as comfortable as if he were in a hot spring.

The lungs felt like they were being held by warm hands, dispelling the coldness inside.

It took a full quarter of an hour for the effect of the medicine in the body to subside.

On the other hand, Yan Shisan felt that his body, which had just been heavy as if in shackles, suddenly became much lighter.

Although his body was still heavy, Yan Shisan could clearly feel that his body was much better than the previous moment.

Yan Shisan's gaze shifted to the wine jug on the table, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Taking in Yan Shisan's reaction, Shen Pingan chuckled in his heart.

It is known throughout the world that taking a pill of Tianxiang Cardamom can stabilize injuries and prevent them from getting worse, while also causing the user to fall into a deep sleep.

However, few people know why people who take cardamom fall into a deep sleep.

Cardamom is a holy product for healing, and the vitality contained in each cardamom is extremely powerful.

But it is precisely because the vitality in the natural cardamom is too strong that it has exceeded the limit that the human body can bear.

Once the whole cardamom is taken, the overbearing and powerful medicinal power in it will block all the extraordinary meridians and make the user fall into a coma.

After taking the second pill, the user will wake up briefly due to the change in the medicinal power, but the original injuries and illnesses will also be healed by the medicinal power in the body.

However, the user's body will also become more condensed due to the combined medicinal power of the two cardamoms until all the qi channels in the body are blocked.

After taking the third cardamom, the medicinal power in the body will weaken and dissipate naturally.

The usage methods of Tianxiang Cardamom recorded in current medical books are wrong.

There are only two ways to use real cardamom.

One is to combine it with other medicines to make pills, and the second is to add medicines to wine.

Use the assistance of medicine or the warmth of wine to eliminate the overbearing nature of the medicine and take it slowly.

After resealing the wine jug, Shen Pingan said calmly, "The wine inside is brewed using special methods and medicinal herbs. Take it back and drink a couple of glasses a day. Once the wine is gone, your problem will naturally be solved."

Having experienced the effects of this wine, Yan Shisan naturally would not doubt the effects of Shen Pingan's wine.

Yan Shisan asked again: "What's the price?"

Looking at Yan Shisan who had a calm face in front of him, Shen Pingan pondered for a moment.

"Well, I happen to be leaving for Guangmingding to visit a cousin tomorrow. If I encounter any villains along the way, how about I let Senior Yan handle them?"

Shen Ping'an knew that the siege of Guangmingding by the six major sects this time not only involved the six major sects and the Ming Cult.

There is also the shadow of Princess Shao Min of the Yuan Dynasty.

However, Shen Ping'an could not figure out what the purpose of the person who left the note to Shen Tiannan was in guiding him to go to Guangmingding.

Yan Shisan has reached the ninth level of Tiangang Realm and is a top swordsman himself.

Even though he has not yet fully mastered the fifteenth sword, his strength is already comparable to that of a master in the Heavenly Man Realm.

With Yan Shisan acting as a guard, and Shen Ping'an's own strength and trump cards, even if there are any problems on this trip, they will be enough to deal with them.

However, Yan Shisan didn’t know what Shen Pingan was thinking.

Faced with the request made by Shen Ping'an, Yan Shisan's stern face showed a rare look of surprise.

After a moment, Yan Shisan spoke again: "Why do you want to help me?"

In Yan Shisan's opinion, Shen Ping'an's swordsmanship has reached perfection, and his sword skills are also terrifying.

According to Bai Xiaosheng's latest list, his cultivation has reached the fifth level of Tiangang Realm.

Yan Shisan believed that even if his cultivation had reached the ninth level of Tiangang Realm, he was no match for Shen Pingan.

Now Shen Pingan invited him to be his bodyguard.

In Yan Shisan's eyes, such transaction terms were no different from Shen Ping'an giving him the wine for free.

Shen Pingan's thoughts turned slightly, and he immediately guessed what Yan Shisan was thinking. As his thoughts turned, Shen Pingan smiled, "The sword path is boundless. If I am the only one on the road ahead, it would be a bit boring, wouldn't it?"

Shen Ping'an's tone was half gentle and half casual.

But when Yan Shisan heard it, for some reason it reminded him of the time when he first heard the news of Xie Xiaofeng's death.

At that time, he suddenly felt confused because there was no one to be found on the path of swordsmanship.

Although I am in the martial arts world, when I look at those sword-wielding warriors, I feel that I am out of place in the entire martial arts world.

A strong sense of loneliness surged like a tide, making everything dull.

Thinking of this, Yan Shisan couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's really boring."

After agreeing, Yan Shisan looked at Shen Pingan steadily and said in a firm tone: "One day, sooner or later, I will catch up with you."

At the moment the words fell, the system's prompt message suddenly popped up in front of Shen Pingan.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for achieving the goal of becoming the top swordsman's pursuit target, achievement points +3000, Sword Intention Secret Card*1.]

Looking at the system prompt message in front of him, Shen Pingan was stunned.

Without waiting for Shen Ping'an's response, Yan Shisan stood up, picked up the pot of medicinal wine made from Tianxiang cardamom on the table, turned around and walked out of the pavilion, and instantly merged into the vast night.

Watching Yan Shisan leave, Shen Pingan couldn't help but laugh.

I didn't expect that the words I said to Yan Shisan would cause such a big reaction from Yan Shisan and also allow me to achieve something.

Shaking his head, Shen Ping'an stood up and returned to the courtyard.

After having dinner and washing up, Shen Ping'an returned to the room and sat cross-legged on the bed. He had an idea and began to study the fragments of "The Art of Absorbing Power" that he had just received from Zhu Wushi.

After a while, when the true energy in his body calmed down, Shen Pingan couldn't help but nodded.

"It is indeed a unique martial art that is worthy of being ranked as a Heavenly Rank martial art."

Based on the mental method given by Zhu Wusi, Shen Pingan was also able to figure out the method and principle of "Absorbing Power".

Utilizing the principles of "the sea embraces all rivers, and greatness lies in tolerance" and the human body being a small world, use the human body, a small universe, to absorb the enemy's energy and spirit into your own body.

Then let the enemy's martial arts true energy flow freely in the body, and use the principle of "Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things" to open up the enemy's martial arts meridians.

In this way, the practitioner of the power-absorbing technique can master the enemy's martial arts.

However, strong power will inevitably bring harm to oneself, and the "Power Absorbing Technique" is only a heavenly-level martial art after all.

Although the "Absorbing Power Technique" is powerful, it has two flaws.

The first is that the power refined by the mental method of "Absorbing Power" can only be retained to one out of twenty.

But the good thing is that the refined skills are all extremely pure energy, and after absorption, they will not cause any instability to the foundation of the body.

The second flaw is that after using the "Absorbing Power Technique" to absorb the power of others and use it for one's own benefit, the practitioner will no longer be able to continue to improve his or her own power through hard practice.

If you want to continue to improve your skills, the only way is to stick to it and continue to absorb other people's skills with the "Absorbing Power Technique".

Compared to the second flaw, the first one seems insignificant.

After understanding the problem of "The Great Art of Absorbing Power", Shen Pingan suddenly thought of a question.

That was the source of Zhu Wushi’s ninth level of Tiangang Realm cultivation.

As far as Shen Ping'an knew, twenty years ago, Zhu Wusi relied on the "Absorbing Power Technique" to drain the energy of 108 Guiyuan Realm warriors from the eight major sects in Tianshan before he was able to improve his cultivation to the Tiangang Realm.

If we follow the flaws of this "Absorbing Power Technique", then from that time until now, when Zhu Wushi reached the ninth level of Tiangang Realm, his cultivation level had all been gained through the "Absorbing Power Technique".

This number is quite scary.

Due to the characteristics of the "Absorbing Power Technique", each time you absorb and refine the power of others, only one out of twenty can be retained.

I want to step all the way from the first level of Tiangang Realm to the ninth level of Tiangang Realm.

At least hundreds of Tiangang realm warriors must be drained dry.

If it were a warrior at the Guiyuan Realm, the number would probably be several times higher.

If Zhu Wusi really relied on the "Absorbing Power Technique" to push his cultivation step by step to the ninth level of Tiangang Realm in the past twenty years, how could he have kept it a secret with so many masters dying?

Afterwards, information related to Zhu Wusi emerged in Shen Ping'an's mind like mushrooms after rain.

After a moment, Shen Ping'an suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"The best village in the world".

Founded by Zhu Wusi, its nominal purpose is to "gather talents from all over the world" and it is responsible for recruiting top talents in various fields. It is a branch of Huolong Villa.

A few years ago, it was handed over to Shangguan Haitang for management, who was specifically responsible for recruiting talents.

Shen Ping'an used to think that Zhu Wusi established the No. 1 Manor in the World as a key stronghold to secretly cultivate his own power and collect intelligence.

But after learning about the problems with "The Great Art of Absorbing Energy", my thoughts changed.

In addition to recruiting various talents from the martial arts world, the No. 1 Manor in the World also recruits warriors from the martial arts world.

Over the past twenty years, many warriors have joined the No. 1 Manor under the World for the money it offers and Zhu Wusi's reputation as the Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis.

The number is not tens of thousands, but there are at least a few thousand.

If it is said that Zhu Wusi used the No. 1 Manor in the World as a cover, but actually used these warriors who joined the No. 1 Manor in the World as a cauldron for practicing martial arts, then everything would make sense.

As for the corpse.

The "Absorbing Power Technique" can suck a person till nothing is left, so what's the point of talking about corpses?
Moreover, the reason for his death is easy to come up with. He can just put all the blame on the struggle with the East Factory.

Even if other people knew, they couldn't go to Cao Zhengchun and ask, right?
Not only can it bring disgrace to the East Factory, but it can also attract more ambitious people to join the No. 1 Village in the World.

Even though Shen Ping'an figured out the key point, he couldn't help but be shocked by Zhu Wusi's cunning and ruthlessness.

Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Shen Pingan turned his attention to the system backpack.

Based on his previous inspection, Shen Ping'an also knew that after using the sword secret card he had just obtained, Shen Ping'an would obtain a secret method related to kendo.

In the martial arts world, in addition to the skills and techniques practiced by warriors, there are also some special secret techniques.

For example, the "Demon Disintegration Technique" allows a warrior to burn his own essence in exchange for a short-term surge in strength.

Another example is the "Tianyi Seal" in "Shenshui Palace", which allows practitioners to compress and condense their own true energy in a special way and then seal it in the body.

When you need to use it, release the seal and launch a powerful attack on the enemy.

Compared with ordinary martial arts, these martial arts secrets have unique effects and are more mysterious.

Therefore, Shen Pingan was also curious about what secret techniques related to kendo he could obtain?
As Shen Pingan's mind moved, he waited for a few moments before the system's prompt message popped up.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the secret sword technique, Sword Rhythm Condensation Soul, would you like to extract it?]

"extract!"

Just as Shen Ping'an finished thinking about it, a stream of information suddenly flooded into his mind.

In addition to the introduction of "Sword Rhythm Condensing Soul", there is also the method of its operation.

After absorbing and digesting all the information in his mind, Shen Ping'an's eyes flashed with a gleam when he understood the effect of "Sword Rhythm Condensing the Soul".

According to the information in the mind, the so-called sword rhythm condenses the soul, which is to use one's own sword intent and one's own sword martial arts to condense the sword soul and seal it in the body.

If the sword spirit is activated on a normal day, Shen Ping'an's random true energy can also contain the sword rhythm of the sword spirit, thereby increasing its power.

If you encounter a critical moment, you can also use the sword spirit as a move.

In other words, Shen Ping'an can find a safe time to use the "Heaven-Cutting Sword Drawing Technique" and the Heaven-Cutting Sword Intent to condense it into a sword spirit and seal it in his body.

In daily life, by coordinating the sword spirit to stimulate the true energy, Shen Ping'an's sword energy can also contain the sword power of the martial art "Sword Art of Cutting the Sky".

Not only does it make the power contained in the true energy stronger, it also gives you an extra opportunity to use a big move.

Moreover, every kind of perfect sword intent can condense into a sword spirit.

In other words, as Shen Ping'an masters more perfect sword intent, more sword spirits can be condensed in his body.

"Not bad!"

After understanding the effect of the sword rhythm and soul condensation, Shen Pingan couldn't help but show satisfaction.

Then, Shen Ping'an stood up, lowered his body slightly, and took the starting posture of "Heaven-Cutting Sword Technique".

As he held his breath and concentrated, the white sword intent like clouds and mist rushed out of Shen Ping'an's body like flowing water, and the terrifying aura instantly spread out with Shen Ping'an as the center.

Outside the courtyard, Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan, who had just finished their work and continued to practice, suddenly felt that the sword intent flowing in their bodies suddenly stopped for a moment as if it had encountered something terrifying, and then suddenly retracted into the middle dantian.
