Fairy, why bother with me? I am really a yellow-haired villain.

Yun Zhonghe went down the mountain alone this time to find a good solution to the current dilemma.

Yun Zhonghe has a good relationship with his classmates. By chance, he heard from one of his classmates that there might be a good opportunity somewhere in Xuantian Mansion, so he could try his luck.

Yun Zhonghe went down the mountain specially to take a look.

Xuantian Mansion, this prosperous city in the world of cultivation, is so grand in scale that it is breathtaking.

Yun Zhonghe shuttled through the bustling crowd. It took him half a day just to travel, and he also spent dozens of spirit stones to speed up the journey.

It would be a huge loss if I made the trip in vain.

Yun Zhonghe followed the map he got from his classmates and came to a secluded alley.

At the entrance of this alley, the hustle and bustle seems to be isolated, leaving only tranquility and peace.

Xuantianfu is a place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, yet there is such a quiet place, which is out of tune with the prosperous scene of Xuantianfu.

It seems that the opportunity that the classmate was talking about must be this, Yun Zhonghe thought, and walked deeper into the alley.

This place is called Wendao Lane, which is not the official name of Xuantian Mansion, but many people call it that in private.

What is bought and sold here is not spirit stones, skills, mystical techniques, or magic weapons themselves, but the Tao.

Seeking the Tao, asking for the Tao, the guidance of the techniques, the advancement of swordsmanship, the guidance of the Tao heart...

If you encounter any problems in your spiritual practice, you can come here and try your luck. Maybe someone will give you some guidance, hence the name "Asking for the Way Alley".

The alley is deep and quiet, and the houses on both sides are quaint and solemn. Occasionally, you can catch a glimpse of wooden signs on their mottled exterior walls.

The content on the signs was varied, including those seeking the truth and those willing to preach. Not only did they indicate their intentions, but they also detailed the areas involved, such as whether they were pursuing the mysteries of the Dharma or delving into the essence of the sword. All the information was clear at a glance.

Of course, these brands also include some special needs, such as seeking a good remedy for injuries.

Yun Zhonghe walked and looked around, and couldn't help but feel a little curious. For a moment, an absurd thought flashed through his mind - could there be a demand for that kind of thing, and they were also recruiting here...

Yun Zhonghe quickly shook his head and put this inappropriate thought behind him.

That shouldn't be the case, that would be too weird.

However, after this thought came to his mind, he always felt that this place was like a red-light street.

When guests come, they just close the door and go into the house to do their business.

hiss……

cough cough.

all in all.

It is said that many inner sect brothers and sisters, when they encounter bottlenecks in their cultivation, will rent a house in Wendao Lane, continue to practice, and wait for help from destined people.

After all, it is a special and unpopular business, so it is normal that it is a little quiet.

Soon, Yun Zhonghe's gaze finally fixed on a sign that clearly read "Seeking guidance on swordsmanship."

Without any hesitation, Yun Zhonghe walked straight to the half-open door and gently pushed it open.

The door was not locked, and the person inside did not show up. Only a faint spiritual fluctuation slowly flowed in the air, as if silently examining Yun Zhonghe, the uninvited guest.

Yun Zhonghe could sense a slight hint of doubt in that person.

Judging from the voice, it seems to be a girl.

It can’t really be for washing hair.

Wash the small head.

In fact, the contents on the signs outside are all carefully designed codes?

The so-called "kendo guidance" and "dharma guidance" may actually imply more obscure needs or a specific way of communication... What does it actually mean?

The guidance of the great sword?

Any audio advice?

Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but daydream.

"Foundation building period?"

Just as these absurd thoughts were circling in Yun Zhonghe's mind, a voice came from inside the house. The voice was very nice, pleasant but not gentle.

"I'm sorry, but what I need to teach you is an Earth-level sword technique. If you haven't reached the Golden Core stage, I'm afraid..."

The other party's tone was quite kind, and he didn't mean to belittle Yun Zhonghe.

Yun Zhonghe didn't say much. He put two fingers of his right hand together and shot out a sword energy towards the ground beside him.

The sword energy was like a bullet, creating a deep hole in the ground.

When the other party saw this, he was shocked!

Refining Qi into a sword? !

Mastering the art of refining Qi into swords at the Foundation Establishment stage? And so proficiently, firing directly from the fingertips?!

You know, refining Qi into sword is a skill of high level, and usually one needs to reach the Golden Core stage to master it.

And Yun Zhonghe, a young cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, could actually use this sword technique so skillfully and emit incredibly powerful sword energy directly from his fingertips. How could this not be surprising?

Yun Zhonghe proved with his strength that he was indeed qualified to teach.

"Please wait a moment, sir."

There was a hint of respect in the other person's voice, and then light and orderly footsteps were heard in the house.

Soon, a graceful and slender figure slowly walked into Yun Zhonghe's sight. Her steps were light, like walking on water, and every step seemed to leave faint ripples in the air.

The woman was wearing a simple yet elegant plain dress with a light blue silk ribbon tied lightly around her waist, which swayed gently in the wind, adding a sense of elegance.

Her figure is graceful, like a swaying willow branch, and her skin is crystal clear, like the first snow in winter, emitting a faint warm glow.

She has a round face, delicate features, and gentle and charming eyes.

He looks no more than twenty years old.

She held a secret book of swordsmanship in her hands, with an indescribable grace in her movements, and slowly handed it to Yun Zhonghe, her eyes flashing with sincerity and expectation.

"This 'Southern Sky Fire Sword Technique' is a low-grade Earth-rank sword technique that I carefully selected. I have cultivated it to perfection, but I still feel that I lack a little enlightenment, unable to reach the legendary perfection. If you can give me a little enlightenment on this sword path, then I will owe you a favor. In the future, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely fulfill your request."

It seems that he is also a swordsman who dreams of entering the realm of kendo.

This is how sword cultivation works. Even a small improvement is enough to be remembered and regarded as a great favor.

Yun Zhonghe also felt deeply about this.

He took the sword manual and gently opened it, only to see that the sword techniques recorded in it were exquisite and powerful.

Yun Zhonghe summoned the Snow Cloud Sword and first practiced it according to the contents of the sword manual to familiarize himself with the sword technique.

When the woman saw the Xueyun Sword in Yun Zhonghe's hand, her eyes lit up and she thought to herself what a good sword.

The sword was as white as snow, emitting a faint chill, which contrasted with the astonishment in the woman's eyes.

It can be seen that Yun Zhonghe is indeed very knowledgeable about swords.

Moreover, he had a great talent in swordsmanship. In just a moment, Yun Zhonghe had mastered the "Nantian Lihuo Sword Technique" to perfection. The sword light was swirling in the air like a fire dragon, majestic and powerful.

The woman watched quietly from the side, her eyes full of admiration. Every movement and every angle of Yun Zhonghe was performed with extremely standard and perfect standards, as if every detail had been honed through thousands of trials and tribulations and was impeccable.

Yun Zhonghe himself couldn't help but be secretly shocked. When he used the sword today, he felt a completely different feeling than before.

The Snow Cloud Sword in his hand seemed to be in perfect harmony with his soul. Every swing was as natural and smooth as breathing, and he was extremely adept at it.

Is this also due to the growth brought about by the deepening of their friendship?

Yun Zhonghe's swordsmanship level seems to be a little higher.

If one path is open, all paths will be open.

The improvement of his swordsmanship level made Yun Zhonghe extremely relaxed and at ease when using any sword technique, as if all sword techniques had been integrated into his blood, and he could use them effortlessly.

"The raging fire chases the sun!" With a low shout from Yun Zhonghe, the sword light cut through the sky like a blazing flame, as if chasing the distant horizon.

Immediately afterwards, "fire feathers flew everywhere!" The sword light turned into fire feathers flying all over the sky, gorgeous and blazing, making people dazzled.

"Flames erode the sky!" This last move brought the power of the sword energy to the extreme, and the fire burned fiercely.

Although Yun Zhonghe has a gold spiritual root, he can still practice this fire sword technique and even turn sword energy into flames.

Of course, these flames are not real spiritual fires, but fire transformed from sword energy.

However, compared with the flames used by the woman when she performed sword techniques, Yun Zhonghe's flames still seemed too small.

But it is understandable. After all, Yun Zhonghe has just learned this set of swordsmanship, while the woman has been immersed in it for several years. Naturally, her realm is much higher than his.

What's more, Yun Zhonghe himself has a gold-type spiritual root, which is not compatible with fire-type swordsmanship.

Being able to wield the fire of sword energy is already quite amazing.

The woman was amazed at what she saw.

It was impressive, Yun Zhonghe's swordsmanship display was indeed breathtaking, but unfortunately, it was not enough to inspire her.

What she seeks is not the mastery of the moves in the sword manual, but the hope to suddenly realize the essence of swordsmanship that is unique and transcends the sword manual, so as to promote the advancement of her swordsmanship and step into a higher realm of swordsmanship.

Just when she thought Yun Zhonghe's performance was coming to an end, Yun Zhonghe was just beginning to show his true brilliance.

call--! ! !

Suddenly, the sword energy and fire that was originally wrapped around the Xueyun Sword, which was only like a wisp of flame, seemed to be ignited by some mysterious power and instantly turned into a raging fire!

"This is impossible!"

The woman muttered in shock, the sight before her was completely beyond her expectations.

Its momentum was so strong that it was comparable to the sword energy and fire that the woman had cultivated for many years!

He completed the leap from quantitative change to qualitative change in an instant. How did he achieve such a leap?!

If the previous flame was just a immature manifestation of the Qi Refining Stage, then the flame displayed by Yun Zhonghe at this moment had already reached the vigor and intensity of the Golden Core Stage.

And this is not the end!

Yun Zhonghe held the Xueyun Sword in his hand and suddenly slashed it down. Following the trajectory of the sword tip, a tornado of fire shot up into the sky, then spread wildly like a wild horse, and finally turned into a huge vortex that covered the sky and the sun.

There was a raging fire in the vortex, burning the sky and boiling the sea, as if it was going to swallow up everything around it, and it took a long time before it slowly dissipated.

This scene left the woman completely stunned, and her heart was filled with incredible shock.

"Is this okay?"

After completing this series of amazing moves, Yun Zhonghe breathed heavily with a slightly tired look, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then slowly put away the Snow Cloud Sword, with a hint of inquiry and expectation in his eyes.

However, it took the woman a long time to recover from her shock. She rushed forward excitedly, holding Yun Zhonghe's arm tightly with both hands, with fanatical light flashing in her eyes.

"You...how did you just do that?!"

Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, her beautiful eyes widened, flashing with an eagerness to know, and her aggressive aura seemed as if she would never let Yun Zhonghe leave easily if he didn't reveal the secret.

I must squeeze the secret out of Yun Zhonghe.

Seeing this, Yun Zhonghe curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile and said slowly: "A single spark can start a prairie fire."

He dragged out all his insights.

"Sparks will set the prairie on fire... Sparks will set the prairie on fire..." The woman repeated this sentence over and over again, her beautiful eyes flashing with surprise, as if at this moment, she really caught something crucial.

The same sword moves, even Yun Zhonghe's spiritual power was not as good as hers, and his attributes were restrained, but he inspired a sword energy fire that was even stronger than hers.

This is not to say that Yun Zhonghe's fire itself is very strong, but that he cleverly "takes advantage of the situation". He knows how to gather all the elements around him that can enhance his strength, just like a spark, which is small but can take advantage of wind, dry grass and other conditions to eventually set the whole prairie on fire.

The woman suddenly realized that she had been one-sidedly pursuing the enhancement of her own firepower, but ignored the broader world - the "momentum" that could be borrowed.

The power of an individual is limited, just like a solitary fire. If you don't know how to create momentum and take advantage of it, then even the strongest flame will be fleeting and cannot last.

“I understand, I understand…!”

The woman was so excited that she almost jumped up, her face filled with unprecedented joy and excitement.

Seeing her genuinely happy expression because of her enlightenment, Yun Zhonghe's heart was also filled with joy.

As people who are both obsessed with kendo, the mutual understanding between them can be deeply felt without much words.

To comprehend the way of the sword, one must first break out of the framework of swordsmanship. Only in this way can one feel the essence of the way of the sword more clearly and suddenly realize other things.

You will never come up with your own ideas by just copying others.

"Thank you, I finally found the direction!"
