After everyone dispersed, Nie Huaisang walked lightly to Wei Wuxian's side and whispered, "Brother Wei, I wonder if you've found any clues to the sword spirit you were looking for?"

Wei Wuxian was slightly startled, then he withdrew his gaze from the distance and fixed it on Nie Xichun. He then said to Nie Xichun, "Uncle Nie, I would like to have a competition with Big Brother Nie. Is that possible?"

Nie Mingjue turned to look at his father, a questioning look in his eyes. Nie Xichun frowned slightly and was about to speak when Lan Qingheng stepped forward.

Wei Changze said, "Brother Nie, wait a minute. Ah Xian's actions must have a deeper meaning."

Nie Xichun hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said to Nie Mingjue, "You can compete, but don't hurt anyone."

Upon hearing this, Nie Mingjue readily agreed, "Okay, Master Wei, then please."

Wei WuXian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile: "Brother Nie, please."

The two men reached the center of the training ground, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Nie Mingjue held the Ba Xia in his hand, his eyes sharp and his aura intimidating. Wei Wuxian held the Suibian in his hand, his expression calm, as if he was sure of victory.

"Young Master Wei, be careful!" Nie Mingjue shouted, brandishing his Ba Xia sword and charging towards Wei Wuxian. The Ba Xia sword carried a powerful aura, as if to sever everything. Wei Wuxian dodged Nie Mingjue's attack with ease.

"Brother Nie, your Ba Xia is indeed powerful." Wei Wuxian said with a smile.

Nie Mingjue frowned, "Master Wei, don't underestimate the enemy." He swung Ba Xia at Wei Wuxian again. Wei Wuxian dodged repeatedly, seemingly relaxed, but secretly calculating.

Wei WuXian thought to himself, “This domineering aura is truly unusual. I must explore it carefully to see if I can find any clues to the sword spirit.”

"Wei Wuxian, is all you can do about hiding?" Nie Mingjue said angrily.

Wei Wuxian laughed heartily, "Brother Nie, don't worry." At that moment, Wei Wuxian suddenly noticed that Ba Xia's aura was a little unstable, a faint feeling of being out of control. A thought struck him, and it seemed his suspicions were correct.

Nie Xichun also noticed Ba Xia's abnormality and prepared to stop the competition.

Wei Changze stopped him and said, "Brother Nie, you see Ah Xian is deliberately provoking Ba Xia. He must have his own ideas. Let's observe him first."

Nie Xichun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

On the training grounds, Nie Mingjue's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and Ba Xia's aura became increasingly unstable. Wei Wuxian dodged while observing Ba Xia's changes. Suddenly, he discovered that Ba Xia's aura seemed to contain a mysterious power.

"Brother Nie, there seems to be something wrong with your Ba Xia." Wei Wuxian said.

Nie Mingjue was startled. He had sensed something was wrong with Baxia, but he didn't know what the problem was. "Master Wei, do you know what's going on?"

Wei WuXian smiled faintly: "Brother Nie, do you still remember the matter of the sword spirit?"

Nie Mingjue's expression changed. "Are you saying that Ba Xia is related to the sword spirit?"

Wei WuXian nodded. "I suspect Baxia's abnormality is related to the sword spirit. I deliberately provoked Baxia just now just to see its reaction."

Nie Mingjue frowned, "Then what should we do?" Wei Wuxian thought for a moment and said, "Brother Nie, try to control Ba Xia's aura first. I'll see if I can find any clues about the sword spirit."

Nie Mingjue nodded and began to work on controlling Ba Xia's aura.

Wei Wuxian closed his eyes and carefully felt Ba Xia's aura. He found that there was indeed a mysterious power hidden in Ba Xia's aura.

"Brother Nie, do you feel a mysterious power in Ba Xia's aura?" Wei Wuxian asked.

Nie Mingjue nodded, "I felt it too. This power is very strong and it's hard for me to control it."

Wei Wuxian pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Nie, try to channel Ba Xia's power. I'll see if I can find any clues about the sword spirit." Nie Mingjue hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and channeled Ba Xia's power. Ba Xia emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful force rushed towards him. Wei Wuxian quickly used his hands to block it, secretly surprised. This power was indeed powerful.

"Brother Nie, stop now!" Wei Wuxian shouted.

Nie Mingjue quickly retracted his Ba Xia power, his face pale. "Master Wei, how's it going? Have you found any clues about the sword spirit?"

Wei WuXian shook his head: "Not yet, but I'm sure the sword spirit is within Ba Xia."

Wei WuXian thought for a moment, then said, “We can use our spiritual energy to seal Ba Xia away, and then use a special method to force the sword spirit out.”

Nie Mingjue nodded: "Okay, I'll follow your instructions."

After discussing a plan, they began to act. Lan Qiren, Nie Xichun, and Wei Changze worked together to set up a barrier.

Wei Wuxian played a melodious tune on the Chen Qing flute, sealing Ba Xia's power. Nie Mingjue assisted, reinforcing the seal with his spiritual power.

After the seal was complete, Wei Wuxian began to use a special method to force the sword spirit out. He injected his spiritual power into Ba Xia, attempting to communicate with the sword spirit. The sword spirit seemed to sense Wei Wuxian's spiritual power and began to resist. Wei Wuxian was delighted, as it seemed the sword spirit was indeed within Ba Xia.

"Brother Nie, the sword spirit is resisting, let's try harder." Wei Wuxian said.

Nie Mingjue nodded and increased his spiritual power output. Working together, the two finally forced the sword spirit out.

The sword spirit hovered in the air, emitting a powerful aura. Wei Wuxian and Nie Mingjue exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with joy. They had finally found a clue to the sword spirit.

"Master Wei, thank you." Nie Mingjue said.

Wei WuXian smiled faintly, "Brother Nie, you're welcome."

Nie Xichun, Wei Changze, and Lan Qiren stepped forward and looked at the sword spirit floating in the air, their hearts filled with emotion.

"Wuxian, you really have a way." Nie Xichun said.

Wei WuXian smiled modestly, "Uncle Nie, this is the result of everyone's hard work."

Lan Qiren nodded: "Now that we have found the clue to the sword spirit, what should we do next?"

Wei Wuxian thought for a moment and said, "We need to further study the power of the sword spirit. At the same time, we must also be careful to prevent the sword spirit from being exploited by bad people." Nie Xichun nodded in agreement.

At this moment, something unexpected happened. The sword spirit rushed straight towards Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian had no time to think and could only use his arm to block it. Blood instantly flowed from his arm.

Wei Wuxian waved his arm and prepared to play Chen Qing, but at this moment something strange happened. It turned out that at the moment Wei Wuxian waved his hand, the blood on his arm splashed onto the sword spirit.

The moment the blood came into contact with the sword spirit, it was completely absorbed by it. Then the sword spirit emitted a dazzling light, and everyone was stunned by this sudden change.

The light gradually faded, and the blade spirit's previously illusory form became clearly visible, as if it were a physical entity. It hovered quietly in the air, as if waiting for something.

Wei Wuxian gazed at the blade spirit, a strange feeling welling up in his heart. He tentatively reached out his hand and touched the surface of the blade spirit. In an instant, a powerful force was transmitted through his fingertips.

Wei Wuxian felt the power coming from the sword spirit, and thought deeply. He realized that this power seemed to have some connection with himself.

He decided to explore this connection in depth, so he concentrated his mind and tried to establish a closer communication with the sword spirit.

Under his concentration, the sword spirit began to flicker and make faint sounds, as if responding to his call.

Wei Wuxian closed his eyes and listened attentively to the voice of the sword spirit, gradually understanding its intention.

Wei Wuxian opened his eyes, a hint of determination flashing in them. He then said, "I know what to do."

Everyone looked at Wei Wuxian.
