Chapter 225: Falling Petals
The sudden appearance of the Longyuan Sword stunned Lingxiang for a moment. She thought that Long Qi had found the innate Qi and was secretly happy that the guy had good aptitude. She didn't expect that it was the Longyuan Sword's own will.
But then she changed her mind, thinking that it was probably the sword spirit, so it was not a bad idea for her to return it to its original owner, which was considered as repaying a favor.
Seeing this, Xinyi felt relieved, but she was indeed in a passive position at the moment. If she didn't destroy the compass in Huiwu's hand, the endless monsters would make her exhausted to death.
Only by destroying the compass in his hand can Long Qi and Zhao Wuyang be safe.
With Xinyi's cultivation, he naturally had a plan to escape, but if he had escaped, Lingxiang would have been in danger. However, now was a good opportunity.
Xinyi used the Three Flying Shadows move to kill all the monsters around him. Then he twisted his fingers and instantly turned into a ball of black mist, which floated into the depths of the black woods and disappeared in an instant.
Hui Wu was furious at the sword formation, but when he saw Xin Yi running away, he laughed out loud, "After all, you are just a dog of the messenger. Now that you are defeated, I can only abandon you and flee in disgrace." Then he looked at Ling Xiang, "As long as we deal with you, the little Elder Fu Cang, we can catch them all in one fell swoop. I want to see how long this sword formation can last."
Lingxiang certainly believed Xinyi. If he really wanted to escape, he would have used magic to escape long ago. Even ten Huiwus would not be able to catch up with him. The Lu family's magic and martial arts were not good at facing the enemy head-on, but at fighting in secret. I think he was hiding his body and looking for an opportunity.
This is good, now there is a sword formation to protect me, I can take a break to avoid being held back later. Thinking of this, Lingxiang took out a spirit gathering pill from her waist and sat in meditation for the first time.
Now, we can only hope that Long Qi is safe and sound and can gain enlightenment soon!
……
It's easy to say, but when Long Qi was practicing in Qingwei Peak, he mostly practiced the method of drawing souls into weapons, just to be able to send spiritual power into the Longyuan Sword, but he really knew nothing about magic.
It’s not that Lingxiang didn’t teach, but firstly, he really couldn’t concentrate, and secondly, Lingxiang was mainly teaching Rendong at that time, and he and Xinyi were just there to keep her company.
According to Lingxiang, Honeysuckle is suitable for practicing the Five Elements, and secondly, he needs to be proficient in many techniques in order to flexibly use the combination of talismans on the Suidong fan.
Thinking of this, Long Qi couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had made up his mind to learn more at that time, he wouldn't have ended up in such a passive position.
Long Qi tried hard to recall the techniques that Lingxiang had taught him at that time, but he could never remember those complicated formulas and hand gestures clearly. He gestured to the dead tree for a long time, but the tree did not show any reaction.
Just when he was feeling irritable, he suddenly remembered that the medicinal fields of Qingwei Peak were still safe even after the entire winter. According to Lingxiang, it was all due to Hanyang's magic. At that time, Long Qi had been jealous of Hanlu's words, and had gone to find Hanyang on purpose, intending to learn magic. Hanyang had said that he could learn it.
……
"It's not that I don't want to teach you," Han Yang said, walking past Long Qi and taking a copy of Taoism from the bookshelf behind him. He then continued, "With your aptitude, you can indeed practice this technique. But do you know how to control the spiritual energy in your body?"
Long Qi shook his head: "Lingxiang did teach me some methods of attracting spirits, but although I can use them to some extent, I still don't quite understand them."
Han Yang smiled upon hearing this, seemingly not caring that Long Qi called Ling Xiang by her name: "Look, first of all, you don't know how to use your spirit, and secondly, you are Elder Fu Cang's disciple after all, while I am only the headmaster's eldest disciple. It is not appropriate for me to take over your duties."
"However, if Junior Sister agrees, as long as you can understand the Way of the Five Elements and the Way of Flowing Spirits, I am willing to teach you everything I know."
"She naturally agreed, but every time I practiced magic, I always couldn't find the right method, so she taught me directly to draw the spirit into the weapon, and combined with the sword tactics, it has achieved some results."
"Little Nun has simplified the process and taught you the method directly, but even so, you can't just understand the result without knowing the reason. If you accept it without thinking, isn't that against the way of cultivation?" Han Yang said, looking at Long Qi: "Have you ever thought about what you would do if you really encountered danger one day and couldn't wield the sword?"
"This..." Long Qi was speechless for a moment. He really didn't expect this. Now to him, the Longyuan Sword was like his arm, how could he not use it?
Just when Long Qi was confused, he heard Han Yang say, "Now you can only draw the spirit into the sword, and at most use the sword to send out the spirit energy. But if you can master the way to move the spirit, let alone some simple spells, even flying the sword in the air will be a piece of cake."
Hearing this, Long Qi's eyes lit up immediately. The second half of "Dragon Entanglement Sword Art" has a move of flying sword in the air, but he has been thinking hard for a long time and still can't do it. It seems that this is the problem.
"Then how do we move our spirits?" Long Qi asked anxiously.
"I'm going to ask you this," Han Yang said, and with a twist of his fingers, the brush on the table began to move by itself.
"Although the methods of moving the spirit and guiding the spirit into the instrument are different, they are essentially the cognition of the way of self. When you move the spirit energy, what are you thinking about?"
……
"What's in your mind..." Long Qi frowned. He thought that Han Yang deliberately said these ambiguous words to fool him, but now he thinks that he was actually instructing him.
Yes, in the past I only thought about revenge, and was eager to achieve success in my cultivation, so I never took the time to think about these things carefully. Now I think that I was too superficial.
Long Qi walked up to the dead tree and stroked the rough bark.
Old tree, old tree, if you are really my Qi, then respond to me. Shouldn't I be so obsessed with hatred?
Thinking of this, Long Qi closed his eyes and injected spiritual energy into the pear tree. The difference from the past was that his spiritual energy did not have the usual violent aura, but was like a trickle, flowing slowly and softly.
A fragrance floated and landed on Long Qi's nose. He quickly opened his eyes when he smelled the fragrance.
Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew, and in an instant the petals fell like snow.
……
Lingxiang was still sitting in meditation. Even though Yunmeng Lake was full of spiritual energy and she had taken some Spirit Gathering Pills, there was still little effect.
After all, she had a residual spiritual root, so it was somewhat difficult for her to gather spiritual energy. However, she did not dare to take it lightly at all. She meditated attentively while paying close attention to Hui Wu's movements.
During this period, there were monsters that tried to force their way into the formation, but the fire of the Longyuan Sword Formation seemed to be alive. The flames were like ropes, tightly wrapping around those monsters and burning them to ashes.
But before long, the flames of the sword formation began to slowly shrink, as if the spiritual power had been exhausted.
Seeing this, Hui Wu smiled defiantly, and when the flames disappeared completely, he waved his hand, and a group of monsters roared and pounced towards Lingxiang.
