Crossing the Sword

Ling Fei took the sachet in confusion, sniffed it carefully, and exclaimed in surprise: "This fragrance vaguely has the same smell as the flying knife. It really is effortless to get it." Finally he realized Xue Jia was still there, so he quickly stopped talking and returned the sachet to Xue Jia.

Xue Jia felt very strange, especially since it involved his daughter, and asked hurriedly, "What are you talking about? Is there anything wrong with this sachet?"

Ling Fei turned his head and looked at Ye Shisan. After all, Ye Shisan was the victim of this incident. It would be better to decide whether to tell Xue Jia or let Ye Shisan take care of it.

Ye Shisan did not hide anything and told Xue Jia the general process of what happened. Then he comforted her, "Don't worry, Xue Jia, this incident was definitely not done by Xue Ji. I don't think she has that ability. But it must have something to do with her. At least she should know some inside information that I don't know. Xue Jia, don't ask anything when you go home. I will go and ask in person after the competition tomorrow."

Xue Jia hesitated for a moment, now that the matter involved Xue Ji. But thinking of how Ye Shisan had told him the matter without reservation, he nodded and replied, "Okay, but if it is really Ji Er who is the mastermind, Master Ye must tell me first. Even if I don't want to die, I will ask the Black Emperor to show some leniency."

Ye Shisan and Ling Fei looked at each other in silence, with a loving fatherly heart.

After returning to Luo Mansion, Ye Shisan declined Luo Yuan's proposal to celebrate his success and immediately went back to his room to regulate his breathing. He circulated his power for a big cycle, and then according to the method of circling the power in the "Weak Water Sutra", he circulated the energy mixed with internal power and spiritual power for a big cycle. However, he faintly found that his internal power had the precursor of breaking through the golden elixir. He was delighted and immediately circulated his power to break through. He repeatedly attacked several times, and each time he was just a little bit away from success, he showed the phenomenon of insufficient internal power.

I had no choice but to give up. It seemed that I needed to continue to accumulate strength. After finishing the exercise, I realized that the sky was already turning pale. I actually spent a whole night meditating this time. But it was still early now. Today's duel would not start for a while, so I decided to practice sword in the yard for a while and stretch my muscles.

As soon as he opened the door, a breeze blew in his face, making him feel refreshed. He suddenly remembered the sword-making secret book that Ou Feng had given him before his death. So he gave up his previous plan to practice swordsmanship, went back to the room, opened all the doors and windows to keep the air flowing, took out Ou Feng's secret book, and began to read it carefully.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more he admired Ou Feng. The sword-making methods in the world are nothing more than the skills of striking, how to make the sword sharper, more tough and not easy to break. Another thing is the matching between the sword-making materials and the combustion materials, what kind of fuel is suitable when melting what material, so as to maximize the texture of the metal, etc.

The beginning of Ou Feng's secret book is also like this, but it is much more comprehensive than all the sword-making methods that Ye Shisan knew before. More importantly, the second half of the book is so eye-opening that Zhang Tianya's eyes light up!

It talks about the "Sword Heart", which is the soul of the sword. The first sentence of the Sword Heart chapter begins with "Sword Heart is the soul of the sword. If a sword has no heart, it is like a person without a soul. A person without a soul is a walking corpse, and a sword without a heart becomes a slave. No matter how good the materials are or how sophisticated the techniques are, it is only inferior."

Seeing this, Ye Shisan couldn't help but pick up his spirit and continued to read. After that, there was a classification of sword hearts. If ordinary weapons can be in the hands of a hero, they can be gradually affected by the owner's temperament over time and derive sword hearts. But this acquired sword heart is not stable. It is likely to change with the owner's unstable mind or the appearance of a different owner. It may change with the owner's mood fluctuations and produce unknown changes. It can be said that one thought can make you a Buddha or a devil.

Another method is to inject the sword heart directly into the sword when forging it, which can also be called the innate sword heart. There are three main methods. The first is to sacrifice a living person to the sword. The resentment in the heart of the dead will also be attached to the sword when he takes his last breath, causing the sword to be infected and become a fierce weapon with extremely strong evil spirit. This is an inferior choice. If the person who uses such a fierce weapon is not firm enough, it is very likely that the person will be controlled by the sword. The tragic consequence.

The second is that someone is willing to sacrifice himself for the sword at the last moment of forging the sword, using his own life to make the sword a treasure. Such a sword will become a real sword. However, the sacrifice is too great, so it can only be considered a medium-successful choice. Gan Jiang and Mo Ye in Chinese history are such swords.

The last method is to use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to forge the sword heart. This is the best method, which is somewhat similar to the method of refining tools by Taoists. However, it is very different. Refining tools only talks about how to inject the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the tools to be refined, so that the tools have spirituality. The method described here is how to transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into sword energy, so as to cultivate the sword heart. This part is the key to the secret book, the essence of the whole secret book.

After reading this, Ye Shisan suddenly felt enlightened. All the cultivation methods he knew before were to break the elixir and become an infant. Whether it was martial arts or Taoism, they were all similar in this regard. But Ye Shisan immediately thought, why must he follow the path set by his predecessors? Who stipulated that after breaking the elixir, one must become an infant?

The chapter of the Sword Heart in front of him gave Ye Shisan a great revelation. The Sword Heart was forged by collecting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and wasn't the Golden Pill that he cultivated just the most refined spiritual energy of heaven and earth? In this case, after breaking the pill, why couldn't he use the power of a Jin Dan to cultivate a Sword Heart in his body? According to the theory, the attack power that the Sword Heart can exert is much stronger than that of the Yuanying!

However, even though he thought of it, he did not do it immediately, because this was a change in the basic practice method. It was not something that could be done just by thinking of it. He had to think it over and over again. According to him, it would be best to meet the water god Gonggong and ask for his advice before practicing. Moreover, the time for breaking the pill was not yet ripe, so there was no rush.

Continuing to immerse himself in the knowledge of sword-making, Ye Shisan suddenly felt a slight energy fluctuation in the air. With the previous experience of Susano's assassination, he hurriedly put the book into the demon-refining pot and stood up vigilantly.

A strong wind blew in from outside the door, and then condensed into a human shape in the house. It turned out to be Ling Fei who came using the Wind Escape Frame.

Although Ye Shisan was puzzled as to why he came so early, he still greeted him in a friendly manner: "It turned out to be Brother Ling. I thought someone was here to assassinate me again. I was so nervous for a long time."

Ling Fei didn't laugh, but sighed and said, "I came here to say goodbye to you. The border is in danger again, and I have to rush back to the front line immediately. I don't know how long it will take me to come back, so I came here to tell you that I'm afraid I can't continue to accompany you to investigate cases in the future."
