Seekers Without Bounds

Chapter 26: Casting stones to ask for directions

The scenery of Bianzhi Cliff at night is absolutely beautiful, with a half-moon hanging in the sky.

Countless stars seem to be hanging above your head, and you can touch them with your hand.

Only the howling night wind seemed to blow everything off the cliff and destroy all the beauty.

Life seems to be like this, quietly beautiful, but with strong winds that can blow out at any time.

Shi Xunfei sat cross-legged on the tip of the cliff. From a distance, he looked like a small stone sticking out from the cliff.

The wind at Bianzhi Cliff at night is more violent than during the day, and so cold that it seems to be able to freeze the flowing blood.

Therefore, the cliffs at night are more dangerous. Generally speaking, when facing the north wind, the Wind Whisperer Warrior should not open his meridians, but absorb them carefully.

Shi Xunfei was different from other Wind Whispering Warriors. Under the influence of the north wind, the medicinal power of the Fire Refining Pill was unexpectedly stimulated and surged out, which was completely different from the thin flow during the day.

A cold wave penetrated from the outside to the inside like an electric shock.

The heat from the Fire Refining Pill enveloped Shi Xunfei from the inside out. At this moment, the earth veins in Shi Xunfei's body were like a double layer, with the outer layer being cold and the inner layer being hot.

The clear moonlight shone on Shi Xunfei's face, and if you looked closely you could see that it had formed a thin layer of frost.

The external cold and heat are difficult to be transmitted inside, and under the effect of the tears, the medicinal power of the Fire Refining Pill becomes stronger and stronger.

Under the influence of these two factors, Shi Xunfei has entered a state of ethereal sensation.

I just felt the extremely cold wind constantly entering my meridians, and after circulating for a week it turned into a warm heat current that fed back into me so that my body would not freeze.

Under the effect of the tears, Shi Xunfei can still absorb the north wind at night and improve his earth veins even in his sleep.

He himself was unaware of this and thought that everyone was like this. If Old Man Zhang knew, he would also be shocked.

Day and night alternated, and when the first ray of sunlight shone on the cliff, Shi Xunfei gradually woke up after a night of north wind.

Not only did Shi Xunfei not feel any discomfort, he felt that his meridians were a little different and the changes were a bit subtle, but he couldn't tell why.

Old man Zhang secretly came to Bianzhi Cliff at night to check, although Shi Xunfei looked disheveled.

But his breathing and the flow of his veins were even, now that he was safe.

I didn't bother him too much, I just looked at him for a few seconds and left. I was a little confused.

"Is this silly boy a ground vein? It's strange that he has such determination in the north wind."

When Shi Xunfei came, he had no luggage at all, just tattered clothes, and no rare treasures.

"Maybe the earth veins are more suitable for training at night." After all, Old Man Zhang had never seen how the Wind Whispering Warriors of the Earth Veins practiced.

He was also teaching Shi Xunfei by feeling his way forward, so he didn't take Shi Xunfei's accidental unexpected behavior to heart.

For several months, Shi Xunfei stayed at the cliff day and night. At night, Shi Xunfei had already untied the ropes on his feet to prevent him from falling.

Now he is confident that he will not fall under any circumstances.

The north wind from Bianzhiya combined with the fire-refining pill in Shi Xunfei's body enabled him to make rapid progress as an earth vein warrior.

The original earth veins have acquired special elasticity under the training of cold and heat.

Even though the earth veins are small, they can accommodate more wind spiritual power, and more wind spiritual power can open up five acupuncture points in succession.

It is simply incredible for other earth vein warriors, but Shi Xunfei already has the conditions to practice the Cloud Shuttle Flying Knife.

Old man Zhang has been busy preparing for the trip to Broken Soul Valley recently. He frequently travels between the Danhuo Room and does not have much time to carefully check on Shi Xunfei's practice.

This trip to the Valley of Broken Souls has changed again, as it was originally led by Old Liehuo.

Now the mercenary camp owner has also sent two warriors to participate, and together with the original people from various departments, a total of twelve people are participating.

The dominant position was also transferred from Lao Liehuo to the camp owner. The good thing is that there is strength in numbers.

But the original profits that could be dominated are likely to be reduced a bit.

Old man Zhang has always been on the periphery of the mercenary camp and doesn't know many inside stories.

But after all, he is also a key figure in this trip to the Valley of Broken Souls.

Lao Liehuo still told him some of the reasons. Something that even the camp owner would be jealous of appeared in the Valley of Broken Souls!

Shi Xunfei was playing with the throwing knife he bought from the blind market. The throwing knife weighed two taels and was not made of metal.

A certain amount of wind spiritual power can be injected without external force.

The knife can fly farther than an ordinary knife, but it is not at the level of a streamer.

So its power is only moderate. It can penetrate bamboo and wood, but cannot penetrate harder wood.

"Maybe if I change the way I throw it, it will be faster and farther." Shi Xunfei was thinking about how to better use the throwing knife.

"Silly boy, is the Cloud Shuttle Flying Knife fun?" Old man Zhang, who hadn't been seen for a long time, also came today.

I will be leaving for the Soul-Breaking Valley soon, so it would be best if I could teach Shi Xun how to use the Flying Cloud Shuttle and Flying Knife before I leave. With more self-protection skills, I can leave with peace of mind.

"Master, look." Shi Xunfei shot the flying knife. It had a long distance and high accuracy, and even had some lethality at its extreme point.

"You idiot, you only have a knife and you threw it so far. If you miss, won't you run away?" Old Man Zhang scolded.

"The key to Yunsuo Flying Knife is the shuttle, not the distance. The essence of the shuttle is the ability to launch and retract. If you just throw with brute force like you do, no matter how many flying knives you have, they will not be able to withstand the damage." said Old Man Zhang.

"You are still far from entering the rank. It is impossible for me to let you control a set of cloud shuttle flying knives, but you have to practice a flying knife even if you are an earth vein!"

"Watch me demonstrate it only once." Old man Zhang took back the flying knife and injected wind spiritual power into it.

The flying knife suddenly seemed to come alive, moving straight or spinning, and under the control of Old Man Zhang, it moved freely among the cliffs.

With the help of the wind from the cliff, the speed is even faster and can easily penetrate small trees.

Finally, it circled around Old Man Zhang and landed in his hands.

Shi Xunfei was also amazed to see that flying knives can be played like this. He exclaimed, "Master is amazing."

"A flying knife is easy to be defended if it is too fancy in a fight. I made you eleven tin flying knives. They are not as good as the one in your hand in terms of grade, but you need to start with twelve cloud shuttle flying knives to get started. Besides, the possibility of you encountering a gold master in the God Tree Temple is very small, so using a tin knife will not have much impact."

Shi Xunfei excitedly took the flying knife. "Thank you, Master!"

"Okay, next I will tell you about the basics and advanced skills of the Cloud Shuttle Flying Knife. Remember it well. If you forget a word, you will be hit on the butt with a stick." said Old Man Zhang.

Cloud Shuttle Flying Knife is one of the attacking techniques that Wind Whisperer Warriors learn when they first start learning it, with twelve being the most basic number.

The higher the level, the higher the number will be in multiples of two. Theoretically, there is no limit to the number of Cloud Shuttle Flying Knives.

But no one has an unlimited number of flying knives. Generally speaking, if one can control ninety-six flying knives, he is considered a master of cloud shuttle flying knives.

The Wind Whispering Warrior's sword control technique is different from that of the Flying Magnetic Warrior. The consumption of wind spiritual power increases exponentially as the number of swords increases.

Infinite flying knives would consume infinite wind spiritual power, which is not worth it.

A single flying knife attack is simple, but what Shi Xunfei needs to learn is the precise knife control technique.

Being able to launch and retract is just the most basic entry. The next level requires the flying knife to be able to turn flexibly, not just in a straight line, but also to change positions in the air to attack.

And the wind spiritual power cannot be exhausted during the flight, and the speed at the final stage needs to be faster than when it was thrown out.

A Cloud Shuttle Flying Knife is considered qualified only when it leaves the enemy with no escape and after hitting the enemy, the last bit of wind spiritual power returns to your hands.

The small knife that Shi Xunfei bought in the blind market was very easy to use.

Because he could store a lot of wind spiritual power, the wind spiritual power that Old Man Zhang had stored in the last eleven games was pitifully small.

Shi Xunfei must strictly calculate the distance of flight and the speed of attack.

Make sure that the minimum amount of wind spiritual power remains in the knife when it is recovered.

It is not difficult to control a single-handled flying knife, but the Cloud Shuttle Flying Knife requires at least twelve flying knives to attack seamlessly.

The Cloud Shuttle Flying Knife has obvious shortcomings: it is strong in attack but weak in defense, and is currently the most suitable martial art for Shi Xunfei.

Even if you can't control twelve knives, you can control four knives first, and eight knives will give you a certain level of self-protection ability.

The 'Cloud Cutting Technique' that Old Man Zhang specializes in can drain all the wind spiritual power from Shi Xunfei's body with just half a cut, not to mention one. Usually, only those who have reached the highest level can learn it.

The master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you. Although Shi Xunfei is the only disciple taught by old man Zhang.

Old man Zhang’s way of educating people is quite good. After teaching the basic theories, he let Shi Xunfei practice it based on his own reality.

If you have any questions, go and bother him as your master. This is in line with Feng Yu's practice philosophy, go with the flow and follow the trend.

It is not difficult to operate the eleven tin flying knives, because the tin knives are after all copycat cloud shuttle flying knives, and the wind spiritual power required by them is very weak.

But once you add the one bought in the blind market, it is completely different, and it consumes a huge amount of wind spiritual power.

It also completely affected the balance of the other eleven swords, which was equivalent to one sword directly dividing Shi Xunfei's wind spiritual power.

The real one took up most of the wind spiritual power, and Shi Xunfei couldn't keep his balance on the Cloud Shuttle Flying Knife.

Either you practice with just one sword, or you wield eleven fake tin swords; the two cannot complement each other.

Without the twelve throwing knives, even the most basic combination of the Cloud Shuttle Flying Knife cannot be used.

Shi Xunfei went to Old Man Zhang with his question. Old Man Zhang rolled his eyes at him and said, "If I had enough amber crystals, I would buy twelve real Cloud Shuttle Flying Knives. We are poor after all. Anyway, I will give you the knives. If you don't practice well, I will beat you."

After his master said this, Shi Xunfei thought he could only throw a stone himself to ask for directions.

The eleven tin knives were Old Man Zhang’s final test on Shi Xunfei.

See if there is really someone in the inner sect who supports him and can give him the real Cloud Shuttle Flying Knife.

After all, I am about to leave the Sacred Tree Temple, so it would be better to have someone to take care of me.

Of course, the most important point is that Old Man Zhang is really poor and cannot afford twelve Cloud Shuttle Flying Knives.
