The next day, Jiang Lingyue brought books on refining equipment and reading notes to the courtyard where her master Mo Linfeng lived.

She knocked on the gate gently, feeling a little nervous.

"Come in." The clear voice of Master Mo Linfeng came from the courtyard.

Jiang Lingyue pushed open the gate, walked into the yard, and followed the sound into the study.

"Just ask if you have any questions." Mo Linfeng was sitting at the desk, seemingly writing something. When he saw her come in, he gently put down his brush and looked up at her.

Jiang Lingyue smiled and nodded, walked to the desk, placed the books and notes on the table, and asked her master Mo Linfeng for advice on the parts of the book that she didn't understand very well.

Mo Linfeng listened carefully and gave some suggestions and guidance when appropriate.

Time passed quietly, Jiang Lingyue immersed herself in the ocean of knowledge, forgetting to eat and sleep.

Before they knew it, it was already afternoon. Mo Linfeng looked at the sky and suggested, "Let's stop here today. Follow me outside and I'll see how your swordsmanship works."

"Disciple obeys your command." Jiang Lingyue's eyes lit up, and she followed Mo Linfeng to the center of the courtyard.

Mo Linfeng drew his sword and signaled Jiang Lingyue to take action.

Jiang Lingyue took a deep breath, waved her sword, and used all the sword moves she had learned throughout her life.

Her movements were light and smooth, and her sword was sharp, but she could not break through Mo Linfeng's defense.

He moved as fast as the wind, easily neutralizing Jiang Lingyue's attack and pointing out the shortcomings in her swordsmanship.

Jiang Lingyue humbly accepted the advice and constantly adjusted her moves.

Noticing that she had a solid foundation in swordsmanship, a high level of comprehension, and a quick reaction, Mo Linfeng nodded slightly, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Afterwards, he began to teach her the sword skills of Lingyun Sect.

Mo Linfeng stood with the sword in his hand, turned his head and looked at Jiang Lingyue, "Next, I will teach you the whole set of Lingyun Sword Technique. First, the first move, Moving Like a Shadow, please watch carefully."

Mo Linfeng moved, his sword was as fast as the wind, and he performed the first move in an instant.

His figure was as fast as lightning, his movements were graceful and smooth, and his unrestrained and free-spirited manner revealed an indifference to independence. His swordsmanship was both hard and soft, and his momentum was unstoppable.

Jiang Lingyue observed attentively, trying hard to remember every detail.

After watching the demonstration of her master Mo Linfeng, she waved the sword in her hand and imitated his movements, but she always felt that something was missing.

Seeing this, Mo Linfeng said softly: "Don't rush for success, just proceed step by step. The essence of swordsmanship lies in the integration of state of mind and sword power."

Jiang Lingyue nodded, adjusted her breathing, and tried again.

After several rounds of practice, Jiang Lingyue gradually mastered the essentials of Lingyun swordsmanship, and became more and more proficient in each move and each style.

Mo Linfeng was secretly pleased and continued to teach her more moves and techniques.

The master and the disciple were practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. The sunlight shone down, illuminating their agile figures.

As the sun set in the west, half of the Lingyun sword technique had been taught.

She looked at Mo Linfeng gratefully, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I have benefited a lot from it."

Mo Linfeng smiled and nodded, "You have gained something today, and the rest needs diligent practice. When you are proficient, I will teach you the remaining half of the sword technique."

"Yes, Master!"

Jiang Lingyue gripped the sword tightly, her eyes determined. She understood that to fully master this sword technique, she would need to put in more effort.

Mo Linfeng glanced at her serious expression and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, the system prompt sounded.

[Mo Linfeng's favorability towards the host +5, current favorability is 15. ]

Jiang Lingyue smiled with her eyes curved, bowed and said goodbye to her master, then skipped back to her residence facing the sunset.

In the days that followed, Jiang Lingyue studied books on weapon refining, tried to practice weapon refining, and practiced swordsmanship diligently.

During this period, she often discussed the experience of refining equipment with her fourth senior brother Huangfu Shen, or practiced swordsmanship with her third senior brother Li Qingxian, and the relationship between the three became more and more harmonious.

The favorability of her by both senior brothers increased to 20.

As time passed, through the guidance of her master and her own efforts, her swordsmanship improved day by day.

Half a month later, on a sunny morning, Jiang Lingyue successfully performed the entire set of Lingyun swordsmanship.

The sword's momentum was as natural as flowing clouds, so majestic that it caused the surrounding flowers, plants and trees to sway.

Mo Linfeng stood aside, his eyes full of admiration.

"Well done, Lingyue. But remember, moves and techniques are just appearances.

The highest realm of swordsmanship is to move as one wishes and let the sword turn at will. Only in this way can one truly comprehend the profound meaning of Lingyun Swordsmanship."

Jiang Lingyue bowed respectfully, "Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will definitely keep them in mind!"

The system prompt sounded again.

[Mo Linfeng's favorability towards the host +5, current favorability is 20. ]

In the following days, Jiang Lingyue studied swordsmanship even more diligently, hoping that one day she could reach the realm that her master had described.

On this day, Jiang Lingyue was practicing swordsmanship with her third senior brother Li Qingxian when a burst of hearty laughter reached her ears.

"Third Junior Brother, is this the new Junior Sister that Master has accepted?"

The two men stopped what they were doing. Jiang Lingyue turned around and saw a man who looked to be in his thirties, handsome and elegant, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, walking towards her.

"My name is Bai Lang, and I'm the sect master's second disciple. Nice to meet you, little junior sister." Bai Lang bowed and smiled, his eyes wandering over Jiang Lingyue.

Jiang Lingyue silently opened the Eye of Identification.

[347 years old, upper-grade earth-level dual spiritual roots, late Jindan stage cultivation. Favorability towards the host is 10. ]

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Li Qingxian's handsome face, and he coughed lightly, "Second Senior Brother, don't scare Junior Sister..."

Jiang Lingyue noticed Bai Lang's gaze, but did not detect any obscenity or vulgarity in his eyes.

She smiled and knelt slightly, "Hello, Second Senior Brother."

"Junior sister is truly a beauty with natural beauty." Bai Lang exclaimed.

"Second Brother..." Li Qingxian was a little helpless.

"Okay, okay, no kidding."

Bai Lang smiled and waved his hand, "I just passed by and saw you guys practicing swordsmanship. I was itching to try my hand at it. Why don't you let me try out Junior Sister's swordsmanship?"

"Then please give me some advice, Second Brother." Jiang Lingyue held a long sword in his hand, ready for battle.

Bai Lang drew out his sword, flashed, and attacked Jiang Lingyue.

His swordsmanship is elegant and free, like a drunken sword dance. It seems to be without any rules, but in fact it is unpredictable and full of murderous intent.

Jiang Lingyue did not dare to be careless and responded with all her strength.

For a moment, swords flashed and sword shadows intertwined, and the two men fought hard.

After dozens of rounds, Bai Lang suddenly picked up Jiang Lingyue's sword and stabbed forward.

Jiang Lingyue leaned back and narrowly avoided the attack. With her hand in her hand, she drew her sword and the long sword went straight to Bai Lang's throat like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole.

Bai Lang dodged and turned the sword to block Jiang Lingyue's sword.

He praised: "Little Junior Sister, you have great swordsmanship!"

Jiang Lingyue panted and put away the sword, "Thank you for the compliment, Second Senior Brother."

"Junior sister is extremely talented, and her swordsmanship has improved a lot compared to before." Li Qingxian exclaimed with a smile.

"It's all thanks to Master's good guidance." Jiang Lingyue responded modestly.

"Haha, junior sister is not only beautiful, but also very polite. She is really likable." Bai Lang started teasing again.

"Second Brother!" Li Qingxian held his forehead helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more." Bai Lang raised his hands in surrender, "But little sister, if you don't understand anything in the future, you can always come to me. I will tell you everything I know."

"Thank you, Second Brother." Jiang Lingyue said with a smile.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave first." Bai Lang turned around and left in a casual manner.

"This second senior brother is still so smooth-talking." Li Qingxian shook his head and sighed.

"Hehe, I think Second Senior Brother is quite interesting." Jiang Lingyue chuckled, "But his swordsmanship is indeed amazing. I almost couldn't handle those few moves just now."

"Well, Second Senior Brother's swordsmanship is one of the best among us brothers." Li Qingxian said, "If you can beat him, I'm sure your strength will be even better."

"I will try my best." Jiang Lingyue clenched the sword and looked at the direction where the second senior brother left. Suddenly, she changed the subject and asked, "Second senior brother, don't you live in Lingyun Peak?"
