Xu Chunniang glanced at the bamboo basket held in the girl's hand, "Come in with me."
The girl followed the yard, opened the bamboo basket, and offered it with both hands.
"This is Shu Xiu, and it's also a little bit of my thoughts."
When Xu Chunniang saw the bamboo basket full of gold and silver, she had a look of surprise on her face.
To be able to spend so much gold and silver as a gift, it seems that the girl's life experience is better than she imagined.
Although these gold and silver treasures were meaningless to Xu Chunniang, she still took them and recognized this disciple.
"May I have your name?"
"Shen Miaoling."
"Can you read?"
"My eyes were damaged in an accident three years ago. When I was a child, my husband was invited to teach me how to read."
Xu Chunniang nodded, "Before you learn boxing and kicking kung fu, I will teach you a book of kung fu. After reading it, if you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
As she spoke, she struck a magic spell between Shen Miaoling's eyebrows.
Shen Miaoling felt a pain in the center of her eyebrows, and an additional skill appeared in her mind, which was Xiaoyao Jue.
She opened her mouth slightly, looking in disbelief. This method of teaching was simply unheard of.
Shen Miaoling originally thought that the person she was apprenticed to was just an ordinary internal master.
Only now did she realize that the origin of this master was even more amazing than she had imagined.
After the shock and joy, Shen Miaoling groped for a corner to sit down, and then began to read the new skills that appeared in her mind.
Xu Chunniang looked at Shen Miaoling. Based on her cultivation, she could naturally tell that Shen Miaoling had spiritual roots.
She has five spiritual roots, so her cultivation speed is a little slower than others, but as long as she can cultivate to the foundation-building stage, her eyes can be healed without treatment.
Xu Chunniang withdrew her gaze and continued practicing her sword moves.
The sword moves taught by the men in black robes look simple, but are not that easy to learn.
The first sword move alone stumped her.
Xu Chunniang and Shen Miaoling, one practices swordsmanship and the other studies techniques. They move and remain silent without disturbing each other.
"Gugu..."
A subtle voice came from Shen Miao's belly, Xu Chunniang came back to her senses and realized that it was already noon.
She looked at Shen Miaoling and was about to ask her if she wanted to go home for lunch when she saw Shen Miaoling taking out the oil paper bag she had brought in the morning.
She turned her head to look in the direction of Xu Chunniang, holding up the oil paper bag and asked tentatively.
"Do you want to use some? Before I went out this morning, I baked an extra cake. Although it was a little cold, it tasted pretty good."
Xu Chunniang was about to refuse, but then she thought of something and nodded, "That's fine."
She walked towards Shen Miaoling, took the oil paper bag from her hand, sat next to her and started eating the cake together.
The cake has been cold for a long time, but it still tastes crispy and chewy.
After eating half of the cake, Xu Chunniang remembered that she could use fire spirit energy to heat it slightly, so that it would taste more delicious.
Seeing that she stopped eating, Shen Miaoling looked slightly apologetic, "Is it not to your liking?"
"No, I think it's pretty good. Have you finished reading the book of exercises I taught you before? Is there anything you don't understand?"
Shen Miaoling was a little frustrated, "I'm too stupid. I can't understand many parts. I can only vaguely see that after practicing this technique, I can be at ease."
"This skill is very profound. It's normal that you can't understand it for a while."
Xu Chunniang recalled that when she first came into contact with Xiaoyao Jue, she was also in a fog of mist and could not understand it at all.
It wasn't until I listened to Uncle Architect's lecture that I slowly understood.
"There is Qi in the heaven and earth, and Qi generates all things, but ordinary people cannot see these spiritual energies. Only those with spiritual roots can feel them when they meditate and enter concentration."
Shen Miaoling listened vaguely and vaguely realized that she had opened a door to a new world.
“First meditate and become calm, sense the auras, try to establish contact with these auras, and guide them into your body.
When the spiritual energy circulates along the spiritual veins for a small circle and is absorbed into the Dantian, the introduction of the energy into the body is completed.
This process often takes several days to several months, so don't rush and take your time. "
Shen Miaoling nodded, and after eating the cake, she followed the method taught by Xu Chunniang and couldn't wait to meditate.
One of them was practicing swordplay and the other was meditating.
After three or four days like this, at noon that day, Shen Miaoling told Xu Chunniang with excitement that she sensed spiritual energy.
"There are five colors of spiritual energy, and I can sense it!"
“Sensing the aura is only the first step, the next step is to harmonize the aura.
You are the root of the Five Spirits, so you must pay special attention when blending the Spiritual Qi. It must be blended according to the rules of generation and restraint of the Five Elements. "
Shen Miaoling nodded heavily. She knew that she was only sensing spiritual energy at the moment and was still far from being able to introduce the energy into her body.
Ten days later, while Xu Chunniang was practicing her sword, she suddenly felt a faint wave of spiritual energy. It turned out that Shen Miaoling had successfully introduced the energy into her body.
Seeing her success, Xu Chunniang raised her lips slightly.
In less than half a month, Shen Miaoling successfully completed the introduction of Qi into the body.
With her qualifications of five spiritual roots, it is very rare to be able to achieve this step.
This shows that Shen Miaoling is very dedicated.
Xu Chunniang withdrew her gaze and was about to continue practicing her sword, when she suddenly thought of something and her eyes showed surprise.
She actually forgot that this was a mortal city with thin spiritual energy, not the Xiaoyao Sect with abundant spiritual energy.
The amount of spiritual energy is closely related to the speed of practice.
If Shen Miaoling was in the Xiaoyao Sect and could draw Qi into his body within half a month with his Five Spiritual Roots, it would be considered good.
But this is the mortal world, and the spiritual energy is relatively thin.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't be so fast.
Shen Miaoling stood up with a look of surprise on her face, "Master, I succeeded!"
"Very good. When you meditate, do you feel much spiritual energy?"
Shen Miaoling thought about it for a moment and shook her head.
"There is very little spiritual energy. I waited for a long time and absorbed a lot of spiritual energy before they could barely complete a small week."
"While we are waiting, won't the attuned spiritual energy run around?"
"A little bit, so I kept trying to reconcile them and establish contact with them according to the method taught by Master. I spent a lot of effort and finally succeeded."
Xu Chunniang was silent for a moment, "I understand."
Shen Miaoling was a little puzzled. The master explained clearly and understood something, but she did not dare to ask any more questions.
"Introducing spiritual energy into the body is the first step in cultivation. Next, you only need to absorb spiritual energy over time to improve your cultivation."
After Xu Chunniang finished speaking, she took the sword and returned to the laurel tree where she had set up a barrier. She stared at the sword in her hand and remained silent for a long time.
After practicing swordsmanship for many days, she was able to use the swordsmanship taught by the man in black robe very maturely.
But the sword moves she used were just similar in appearance, and their power was mediocre.
Could it be that she didn't understand this sword move at all, so it only had its form but no spirit?
Xu Chunniang vaguely realized that sword moves were only secondary.
What's more important is to understand the sword intention contained in these three sword moves.
