Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

Li Suchang nodded, opened her door, and brought Kainuo in.

The room wasn't big, about the same size as Kainuo's room in the orphanage, but it was fully furnished. A table, a lantern, a washbasin, a wardrobe... although small, it had everything.

"If you need to go to the toilet, there's that lonely little room outside. Oh, and remember to knock on the door before you go in. Master might be inside."

After taking off her shoes, she sat upright on her bed, swaying her body from side to side. The sunlight shone into the room from the window behind her, hitting her body, making her look relaxed and comfortable.

Kainuo nodded, his lips curled up. "First, let me ask, is shaking your head also a step in practicing the Sword Heart Technique?"

Li Suchang suddenly froze.

Now she is in a dilemma whether to shake it or not.

He stretched out his hand, and a bed similar to the one he used in the orphanage appeared in the corner of the room. Kainuo took off his shoes and sat on it.

"Come on, please start your explanation."

"I didn't see you being as talkative as you are now when Master was here. You just teased me."

After humming twice, Li Suchang crossed her legs and looked serious.

"The Sword Heart Technique is the entry-level mental method for Taixu Sword Qi, a unique entry-level skill that everyone in the martial arts world desires. However, even though it is an entry-level skill, it is definitely not simple and requires extremely high qualifications."

"But you, Luosha, are so powerful. You can even use my sword form after only seeing it once. Your talent must be quite good."

"Next, I will tell you the formula of the Sword Heart Technique. The pronunciation of the Sword Heart Technique is very strange, so you must listen carefully."

"Okay, you go ahead."

Kainuo imitated Li Suchang and sat cross-legged, then nodded and said.

"...Moo...Tashiri...Moo...Rokura..."

After saying this, Li Sushang opened her eyes.

"Okay, this is the Sword Heart Technique, try it out."

"...Are all the cultivation mantras in Shenzhou so strange?"

After memorizing the formula, Kainuo's expression became a little subtle.

Why can this completely irregular tone enhance people's ability to call upon Honkai energy?

"I've told you the Sword Heart Technique is strange, but it's truly useful. Silently recite the Sword Heart Technique in your mind, and you'll be able to feel the Qi flowing through your eight extraordinary meridians, and every part of your body will be changing. At the same time, you'll also be able to sense your own heart."

Kainuo nodded doubtfully, closed his eyes, and silently recited the formula he had just memorized in his mind.

The formula was indeed effective. As he silently recited it in his mind, the collapsing energy in his body immediately began to operate in a rather complex manner, spreading throughout the eight extraordinary meridians and flowing through his limbs and bones.

The body becomes lighter and the consciousness becomes more hazy.

The meaningless rhythm did indeed have a certain effect on Kainuo's body. It affected Kainuo's body and consciousness, trying to guide them towards a certain result, thereby achieving the effect of strengthening the human body.

then……

"Rakshasa, what's wrong with you? Rakshasa! Rakshasa, wake up!"

It was Li Sushang's anxious voice that came from Wobashiba in his ears.

Kainuo opened his eyes in confusion and saw Li Suchang's anxious and worried face.

Subconsciously, Keno looked at his body.

A bright red.

And then the pain came.

Chapter 22: Immortal Traces

"I've never seen such a situation."

Beside Kainuo's bed, Cheng Lingshuang held Kainuo's left wrist with one hand and shook her head slowly, almost putting on an expression that said the man was hopeless and waiting to die.

"His aptitude is incredibly good. Even before he's mastered the Sword Heart Technique, his Qi can already flow freely and smoothly within his body. If he had enough Qi, it wouldn't be impossible for him to directly master the Grand Void Sword Divine Technique. It's no wonder he hasn't gone astray yet."

"But if that's the case, it makes even less sense."

Cheng Lingshuang frowned slightly.

"The Sword Heart Technique definitely doesn't have such side effects. My eldest sister was even older than him when she practiced the Sword Heart Technique, but I've never heard of her encountering such a problem in all this time."

"When you were practicing the Sword Heart Technique, what did you feel, Kainuo?"

"As for the feeling, collapse... I mean, the Qi will flow on its own without me urging it, and then the body will feel light and the mind will be relaxed?"

Kaino scratched his head, thinking back to what happened.

Kainuo was now lying in bed. Li Suchang had discarded the blood-soaked clothes and sheets, which Kainuo had recreated himself. His inexplicable injuries had also healed under the influence of the life force, but Li Suchang had forced him to lie there.

Now Li Suchang is also standing by and watching.

Otherwise he would have gotten up early and been full of energy.

"The other circumstances do match, but..."

Cheng Lingshuang pondered for a moment and looked into Kainuo's sky-blue eyes.

"Are you sure you only felt a sense of relaxation? Nothing else?"

"If I really have to say it, I feel an inexplicable, indescribable discomfort."

Kaino thought about it and gave an uncertain answer.

"uncomfortable?"

"Yeah, it's hard to describe... It's like when you go out and you check to see that you've brought everything you need, and then you realize you've brought everything you need, but you still feel like you've forgotten something."

"I haven't had that feeling, but it sounds like a bad feeling."

Cheng Lingshuang nodded slightly.

"After practicing the Sword Heart Technique, one's consciousness should sink into the lake of the mind. However, at that time, the lake of the mind was turbulent, so the practitioner had not yet entered the state of still water."

"Regardless of that feeling you have, the fact that you only feel your consciousness relaxing but not sinking into the lake of your heart means that there is something wrong with the Sword Heart Technique on you."

"Ah? Then Master, what should the Rakshasa do?"

Li Suchang spoke from the side.

Cheng Lingshuang said calmly, "Why are you asking me? Although I'm far superior to you in practicing the Sword Heart Technique, I'm not its creator. I've never heard of such a situation before."

"Yes, the Sword Heart Technique was passed down by the Red Kite Immortal... Master, do you know where the Immortal went?"

Kainuo gave Li Suchang a thumbs up in his heart.

The immortal's former residence had been burned down, and there was a certain inside story behind it. If Kainuo rashly asked about it, he might directly irritate his cheap master. It was precisely for this reason that Kainuo had previously delayed asking Cheng Lingshuang about the immortal's whereabouts.

But everything was fine when Li Suchang, who had been with Cheng Lingshuang for ten years, spoke up.

But it was fortunate that such an incident happened to me, otherwise Li Suchang might have forgotten to ask.

Li Sushang hesitated for a moment and continued, "They say the immortal has ascended... Then, Master, can you still contact the immortal?"

Huh? Ascension?

Kaino was bewildered.

Kaslana, a materialist from five hundred years in the future, expressed her incomprehension.

"do not know."

Cheng Lingshuang replied.

"How would I know where Master ascended to? If you still want to give up, just go to Taixu Mountain and take a look."

"But let me be clear, even if you go, you probably won't find anything. Perhaps because your master didn't take them with him when he ascended, your uncles and aunts burned down Taixu Mountain."

"Ah? Master, did you burn down our master's former residence?"

Li Sushang widened her eyes in disbelief.

This was the first time Cheng Lingshuang talked about this with her.

"Uh, excuse me, Master, do you and the Immortal have a bad relationship?"

Kaino couldn't help but ask.

Although in his opinion no matter how bad the relationship is, there is no need to burn down someone's house...but people cannot be generalized.

"It's not that we have a bad relationship. It's just that Master is often away from home, so we don't have much chance to communicate."

Cheng Lingshuang had no expression on her face.

"And unlike me, your uncle-master is quite jealous of Master's ageless appearance."

It's unbelievable that teachers and students can get along like this...

Kaino couldn't help but sigh.

"Anyway, you should stop practicing the Sword Heart Technique for now. Of course, if you want to continue practicing, that's up to you. You have strong healing abilities anyway."

"I think you should stop practicing, Rakshasa. Bleeding while practicing is never a good thing..."

Li Suchang advised from the side.

"I think so."

Keno nodded.

"Then Su Shang, you should teach him the Form and Soul Essence first. Since True Qi is almost harmless to him, you can put the Sword Heart Technique aside for now."

Cheng Lingshuang continued, "Once you have mastered these two essences, I will teach you the divine essence. As for the meaning essence... Su Shang and I haven't mastered it yet, so you can comprehend it on your own."

"If you want to find a master, you can go find him yourself later. Okay, I'm going back first."

After saying that, Cheng Lingshuang left their room, leaving Kainuo and Li Sushang looking at each other in bewilderment.

"I didn't expect that even Master didn't know why you couldn't practice Sword Heart. Hey, Rakshasa, could it be that the bodies of Rakshasa and Shenzhou people are different, so you can't practice it?"

Kaino rolled his eyes.

"How is that possible? As long as it's a human body... Never mind, why am I telling you this?"

"Let's not talk about this for now. Li Sushang, do you know where Taixu Mountain is?"

Li Sushang said, "Just call me Sushang. As for Taixu Mountain, it's not in Mobei, but near Shanxi in the Central Plains, very far from here."

"If you want to go... wait until we rest here for a few days and I'll take you there. After all, this is your first time in Shenzhou. You can't even tell the difference between soldiers and gangs, let alone the way."

"Okay, then thank you for being my tour guide."

Keno nodded.

"But let me make this clear. I don't have any money to spend here in Shenzhou. Not only can I not pay your tour guide fee, but if anything happens later, you might even have to pay for it."

"If that doesn't work, I'll sell you my Xuanyuan Sword."

Anyway, it's something that costs no money.

"Don't worry, it's not necessary! It's just a small amount of money. I'm very rich."

Li Sushang straightened her chest and said proudly.

"Okay then. I'll trouble you then."

Kainuo looked at Li Suchang and smiled slightly.

Kainuo sincerely hopes that the other party will not regret this decision in the future.

Chapter 23: Ma Fei Ma Xing

lol~

Accompanied by the crowing of a rooster, Kainuo rubbed his hair that was in a mess and opened his eyes in annoyance.

There were no alarm clocks in the orphanage, and the priest wouldn't wake the children up too early, instead giving them plenty of sleep. So, except for the morning of their departure, Kainuo had always slept until he woke up naturally.

And today, he was defeated by Shenzhou Natural Alarm Clock.

Pulling open the bed curtains that had reappeared because of the taboos on physical contact between men and women living under the same roof, Kainuo yawned as the sunlight streamed in.

What time is it?

Looking at the dim sunlight coming in through the window, Kainuo couldn't help but doubt his life.

What made him doubt his life even more was that Li Suchang's bed was already empty.

Can you people from Shenzhou get up like this?
