Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 13.13. I have a sword technique, do you want to learn it?
People coming and going along the lakeside have already started decorating with lanterns and colorful decorations. Auspicious red lanterns hang on the willow trees by the lake, reflecting on the lake surface and creating a shimmering effect.

Lu Changyuan found a small courtyard house with one entrance. Actually, it wasn't really a search; as soon as he reached the lakeside, a wealthy businessman walked over cheerfully and rented the small courtyard house to Lu Changyuan.

This merchant seems to have bought many houses in advance, just waiting for some sucker who wants to cultivate immortality to come and rent them.

According to him, more than ten courtyards have been rented out in the past few days. The cultivators are generous and willing to spend money. As long as they are not the very few who are difficult to communicate with, they can make a lot of money.

These businessmen are willing to deal with anyone as long as there is profit to be made.

There was a lone Podocarpus macrophyllus in the courtyard. A gust of wind blew by, and the needles fell, but instead of falling to the ground, they were blown up again by the wind.

Xia Lianxue stared blankly at this scene.

She couldn't even prick the leaves anymore.

Lu Changyuan moved a rocking chair over, lay down on it, and yawned: "Just like your senior sister, if you're injured, you should rest properly. It won't make a difference if you practice your sword for one more day."

"Not practicing for a day"

"You know it yourself, right? Your sect knows you haven't practiced for seven days, right? How boring."

Lu Changyuan lazily got up: "I have a sword technique, do you want to learn it?"

Xia Lianxue stared blankly at her hands for a long while before saying sadly, "I have lost all my magic power, how can I cultivate the Dharma?"

"What can't you practice with? Even a gun without a tip can kill."

Lu Changyuan couldn't help but think that Qiu Yuehan could still joke around even at the critical moment of life and death, while Xia Lianxue was more serious than her.

Give me the sword.

Xia Lianxue handed the sword to Lu Changyuan as instructed, but still said, "I practice the Thirteen Swords of Wonderful Jade."

Lu Changyuan said, "I know, I know, it's the Thirteen Swords of Miaoyu, it used to be called the Feather Moon Sword Technique."

Miaoyu's Thirteen Swords technique emphasizes that each sword strike is more powerful than the last, eventually overlapping and flowing continuously, like moonlight that is omnipresent. Combined with the Moon Illumination Technique within the palace, the combined effect is quite terrifying.

“I will teach you another sword technique.” Lu Changyuan said with a smile, “Now that you have lost all your cultivation, you cannot practice the step-by-step techniques. The sword technique I will teach you is unconventional.”

Xia Lianxue sized up Lu Changyuan for a while and asked, "Is it that demonic art?"

"What are you thinking? It's not that easy to fix."

Even harder to master than demonic arts?!
Lu Changyuan suddenly asked, "Your name contains the character for 'summer,' and it happens to be the height of summer right now. What do you think summer is like?"

This stumped Xia Lianxue.

Immortals are unaware of spring and summer.

"Xia Lianxue, Xia Lianxue, you have such a beautiful name. The combination of scorching summer and freezing winter represents the balance of Yin and Yang. Why can't you understand this?"

Many ordinary people have thought during the sweltering heat: wouldn't it be just right if some of the winter's chill were given to the summer?

This, however, is also a kind of natural way.

For the first time, Xia Lianxue felt like she was being silly and couldn't understand.

In reality, all the masters of Miaoyu Palace felt that she was fast at sword cultivation, and that she was only slightly slower than Qiu Yuehan in sword cultivation within the palace.

How did you become such a clueless goose here?

"Summer's power is like a thunderclap from a clear sky; it comes quickly and goes even faster."

As Lu Changyuan finished speaking, a fierce wind suddenly arose in the courtyard as his sword was drawn.

It rises from flat ground, without any continuity, and its movement is like a thunderclap.

In broad daylight, it was as if a muffled thunderclap had exploded! Then, carrying with it wind and air, all the dust in the world condensed and finally transformed into a sword.

This is.

Zhu Mingjian.

Despite not using any magic power, a wisp of energy was still forcefully created.

Xia Lianxue asked incredulously, "How did you do that?"

This sword strike, though currently incapable of harming even a second-realm cultivator, is still extremely terrifying. It relies purely on the understanding of Xia, mixed with momentum. If Xia Lianxue truly masters it, using this sword as a life-or-death technique at the fourth realm, she could reverse the situation and slay a fifth-realm cultivator. Lu Changyuan tossed the sword back to Xia Lianxue: "Think for yourself. If you can't figure it out, then practice this sword strike as I have. Now that you have lost all your realms, it is the perfect time to hone this skill."

Mortals are more sensitive to the seasons than immortals are to them.

When it's cold, we add clothes; when it's hot, we seek shade. From this perspective, mortals are more likely to understand nature than immortals.

With this sword strike, Lu Changyuan revealed all his "intentions" to Xia Lianxue.

“In the past, there was a group of people who honed their skills to the peak with mortal bodies. When they officially stepped onto the path of immortality, they became one killing star after another.”

"Young master, who created this sword technique?"

Lu Changyuan, who had turned his back, suddenly paused and said softly, "Do you know how old the Taoist priest of Chang'an was when he entered the Taoist path?"

"At the age of fifty."

"This Zhu Ming Sword is the sword that the Taoist priest from Chang'an, who had not yet entered the Daoist path, created in a fit of anger when he couldn't find any cool tea to drink in the summer!"

Xia Lianxue repeated, puzzled, "Herbal tea?"

She quickly realized, "The swordsmanship of the Taoist Chang'an? Wasn't the Taoist Chang'an a doctor before he became a Taoist?! A doctor comprehending swordsmanship? Where did you get your swordsmanship from?"

“Some patients are disobedient, so swordsmanship is needed to assist in treatment, which is normal.”

There's no doctor who doesn't know martial arts.

How can you cure illnesses if you don't know martial arts?

"As for where the sword technique came from, don't worry about that, just practice it."

If you teach summer swordsmanship in summer, you can teach winter swordsmanship in winter. After spring, summer, autumn, and winter, you'll have mastered the swordsmanship of all four seasons. Once you've mastered the swordsmanship, who in this world can't you kill?
Lu Changyuan yawned, glanced at the sky, muttered something, and went back into his room.

he thought.

Qiu Yuehan taught him the mental cultivation method, and Xia Lianxue taught him the sword technique.

If the two of them end up fighting, who will win?
do not care.

It's definitely powerful!

The room was not arranged haphazardly. A tea-colored curtain divided the room into two sections. In the outer section was a carved mahogany table, next to which was a daybed. Turning around and passing through the curtain, one was greeted by a screen depicting magpies welcoming spring, and behind the screen was the bed in the inner section.

Lu Changyuan took off his shoes and sat on the bed. His leisurely breathing guided the air into his body, circulating it within him, but it couldn't stay inside and instead leaked out.

With a sigh, Lu Changyuan reversed the previous cycle.

If one approach doesn't work, try the other.

Reverse cultivation techniques are also an essential part of the cultivation world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xia Lianxue leaned against the Podocarpus macrophyllus, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions. Her white dress fluttered in the wind, and her soft hair clung to her cheeks. She looked so fragile that she seemed about to be blown away.

How many years has it been since I felt this powerless to kill?
What she could do before is now out of reach; she has almost lost the courage to wield a sword.

Xia Lianxue clearly understood that she was no longer the fairy revered by thousands. Perhaps she should give up her expectations, find someone to marry, have children, and then grow old and die in an unknown corner.

This thought only lasted for a moment.

In that instant, her heart felt like it was about to shatter.

Her cultivation level was achieved over countless years through persistent practice on the bluestone path in the bamboo forest, leaving marks on the bluestone path from her footsteps.

But now, all traces have vanished with the wind.

Then she heard the words: "I have a sword technique, do you want to learn it?"

The cracking of the Dao Heart has stopped, temporarily.

She was fully conscious the whole time that Lu Changyuan confronted Han Yi Zhenren for her sake and helped her exorcise the demon, she just couldn't move.

Therefore, she knew that Lu Changyuan was very strong, and she was naturally very grateful that someone like him was willing to teach her step by step.

So, what's the cost?
What could a disgraced disciple like her possibly want? Could it be that he covets her pretty face and wants to possess and play with her?
