A few months later, Xu Wen was practicing swordsmanship in Feipu Yazhu.
The green-scaled sword stood high in the air, and sword energy rushed out, spreading densely in all directions.
Xu Wen obtained a total of three sword techniques, Zhou Tianyixing Sword Technique, Jingshen Sword Technique and Fengyun Sword Technique passed down by Zhi Wuya.
The Zhou Tianyixing Sword Technique is the most complete, the highest grade, and the most consistent with the Qinglin Sword. It is the technique that Xu Wen majors in.
But this sword technique is very advanced and mysterious, and the unknown sword cultivator has not passed down more training techniques. Xu Wen can only rely on Xu Wen to slowly explore it.
Even with his excellent understanding and creativity, progress was still slow.
The level of Jingshen Sword Art is not bad, but compared with Zhou Tianyixing Sword Art, it is several levels lower.
Before embarking on the path of cultivation, he practiced repeatedly, and after so many years, he had already completely mastered it.
Although he usually uses the sword with a lot of understanding of Zhou Tianyixing's sword art, it has always been based on the Jingshen sword art.
He has always wanted to completely integrate the Jingshen Sword Art into Zhou Tianyixing Sword Art, but the gap between the two is too big and there is not much progress.
With the Fengyun Sword Technique sent by Zhi Wuya, it happened to be able to build a bridge between Zhou Tianyixing Sword Technique and Jingshen Sword Technique, connecting the two, and suddenly there was a clear and visible way to improve the sword technique.
The most important thing is that after observing the Qingluan Pearl's silk-wrapped restraint, he suddenly had many ideas about the sword energy transformation restraint, and has been pondering the sword technique these days.
The bronze spirit gathering lamp has been lit, and the concentration of spiritual energy in Xu Wen's place has increased a lot, ensuring a sufficient supply of spiritual energy.
The Moonlight Pure Heart Silk floated behind his head, sprinkling moonlight, making his mind in the most active state.
The Ghost Suppression Tower also quietly flew out, chanting Buddhist sounds continuously, and any distracting thoughts were eliminated as soon as they appeared.
The sword energy continued to gather around Xu Wen, not as a single entity, but rather like a restriction, forming many faint stars.
Following Xu Wen's thoughts, the stars flowed and slowly formed a constantly moving galaxy.
It’s as if someone is playing chess using the universe as a chessboard and the galaxies as chess pieces.
With a thought, the ghost-suppressing tower flashed with light, and the evil ghost rolled out.
As soon as he appeared, he knew what Xu Wen was thinking, and he immediately cursed:
This unscrupulous master wants me to be the target of his performance. Doesn’t he have that stupid snake? Why not use it?
It is precisely because he is too stupid that he wants to use you!
He shouted in his heart and his thoughts changed rapidly.
The evil ghost didn't resist much, so he could only fly out cursing and fall into the galaxy unwillingly.
With a wave of his hand, the galaxy surged, and countless sword energy surged out, striking the evil ghost and slashing it down.
Does this unscrupulous master want to kill me?
Seeing so much sword energy, the evil ghost cursed and ran as fast as a rabbit, trying to escape from the sword energy.
The sword energy circulated like an endless galaxy. In just a few strokes, the evil ghost was completely lost in the galaxy.
After a few times, Xu Wen suddenly raised his hand and spit out sword energy.
The evil ghost rolled out with wounds all over his body, cursed and hid back in the Ghost Suppression Tower to lick his wounds.
If he hadn't been released, he would have died in the sword formation.
Looking at the hesitant and murderous sword formation, Xu Wen was extremely happy.
The last time he saw Zhi Wuya using his sword energy formation, he was filled with envy, but he never understood the true meaning.
After watching the silk-winding restraint, I suddenly felt something in my heart. I clearly understood the principle of sword energy being connected and vertical and horizontal as desired. Combined with the three sword techniques, I finally understood a new sword technique of Zhou Tian Yixing Sword Technique.
Zhi Wuya performed a similar sword technique, and the sword energy spread for dozens of miles, covering all the mountains and rivers.
Xu Wen was naturally far inferior to him, but he still had a certain charm that was so far away that the evil spirits couldn't get away for a while.
With this swordsmanship, no matter who he faced, whether he was attacking or defending, Xu Wen had the courage to remain as strong as the wind and a mountain.
After gathering his thoughts, Xu Wen began to continue to deduce and perfect this swordsmanship.
A few months later, while he was practicing, there was a sudden disturbance in the formation.
Putting away the skill, he raised his hand and a telegraph note fell into Xu Wen's hand, and Zuo Mingyue's voice came out:
"Junior Brother Xu, come to the store, there is a customer who says he is your old friend!"
Old friend?
Xu Wen was a little confused. Anyone who could be called an old friend in Jietian City must be an old friend from Qingfeng City.
But Nie Laojiu and Chu Yin knew where Xu Wen lived, so there was no need to go to Zuo Mingyue's.
With doubts, Xu asked out of Feipu Yazhu and went to Xiuningji.
When he entered the inner room, he saw Zuo Mingyue talking to a middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes of life. The other party did not hide it, and there was an obvious Qingfeng City accent in his words.
Seeing Xu Wenjin, they both stood up, and the middle-aged man shouted in a hoarse voice:
"Senior Brother Xu!"
The voice was a little unfamiliar, but the tone was very friendly, and it was obvious that he was someone he had known before.
However, the other party was dusty and had several scars on his face and neck, so Xu Wen couldn't recognize him for a moment.
After looking at the other person carefully for a while, a somewhat familiar figure suddenly popped into his mind, and he couldn't help but blurt out:
"Zhang Jiuting, you are Junior Brother Zhang Jiuting!"
"Senior Brother Xu, it's me. I will never forget the grace of Senior Brother Xu to become a Taoist!"
A gratified smile appeared on Zhang Jiuting's face, and he saluted Xu Wen heavily:
"After I found out that a new restaurant, Xiu Ning Ji, was opened here, I thought it had the same name as your mentor, so I came to ask about it. I didn't expect that it was really my senior brother..."
"Okay, okay, congratulations to Junior Brother Zhang for successfully building the foundation!"
Seeing that his old friend had successfully built the foundation, Xu Wen was also very happy.
Although Zhang Jiuting seems to be a little homeless, building a foundation is the greatest luck for a cultivator, and other small hardships are not surprising.
Pulling him aside to sit down and pouring tea, the two of them would still talk about what happened after they parted ways.
Although Xu Wen's experience made Zhang Jiuting sigh, his life over the past few decades is also legendary.
When he left Qingfeng City, his magic power was only in the late stage of Qi refining, and he was carrying a treasure such as the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he didn't dare to be with others.
For the first ten years, I was alone, struggling eastward in the Hengjue Mountains.
Fortunately, before leaving home, all the treasures of his family were with him, and he finally got through the most painful and difficult initial stage, and was promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining with difficulty.
At that time, he had roughly left the Zhiyuanmen area, so he no longer had to be so cautious, so he joined a caravan and traveled to Liuyun Valley's area of influence.
At the ninth level of Qi refining, he had to prepare for foundation building. For him, who was alone, you can imagine how difficult it was.
He traveled back and forth among the major fairy cities, doing business selling spiritual objects, and from time to time participated in various expeditions, the development of major fairy cities, and activities to slay demons.
Whatever the danger, I did whatever the reward was. I finally reached the perfection of Qi refining twenty years ago, and purchased several foundation-building spiritual objects in addition to the foundation-building pill.
But his collection of foundation-building spiritual objects also attracted the covetousness of others, and in a big battle, he killed them all.
He was also seriously injured and was chased by the opponent.
In desperation, he left Liuyun Valley's range of strength and came to the Eight Weeks Mountain Realm, but it was not in Jietian City, but in another fairy city.
Ten years ago, he tried to build a foundation for the first time, but it ended in failure as expected.
But with the Foundation Establishment Pill, he was not seriously injured and recovered after a few years of recuperation.
Three years ago, when he was approaching the sixty-year-old mark and his injuries were almost recovered, he used several other spiritual objects to take the risk again and successfully passed the test again.
Calculated this way, his foundation building time is about the same as that of Liu Minghe and Hai Zhenzhu.
However, compared to the smooth experiences of Liu Minghe and Hai Zhenzhu, his experience was much more bumpy.
I remember that when Xu Wen and he first met, Xu Wen, Liu Minghe had just embarked on the path of cultivation.
His cultivation was only at the first level of Qi Refining, and he was struggling to survive on Stone Street. He could hardly even pay the rent on Stone Street.
But at that time, he was already the steward of Shiban Street, preparing to attack the young masters in the late stages of Qi refining.
As for Sea Pearl, I guess she was still a naughty and mischievous tomboy at that time, and she hadn’t even started practicing yet!
But now, Xu Wen is in the middle stage of foundation building, and his cultivation and magical powers are far better than him. Liu Minghe and Hai Zhenzhu not only build the foundation, but also lead the family to prosper day by day.
Either way, it is far better than Zhang Jiuting who is alone.
This is evident from the rapid changes in opportunities in the world and the rapid ups and downs of life.
However, after successfully building a foundation, his opportunities have greatly improved, and he has continued to explore various places over the years, looking for opportunities.
I came to Jietian City not long ago, met Xiuning Ji by chance, and then contacted Xu Wen.
Speaking of this, Xu Wen suddenly remembered something, and immediately took out the cold jade net from his storage bag, handed it to Zhang Jiuting and said:
"Junior brother Zhang, this is your Hanyu Network. I asked the Xiao family to upgrade it to the second level of low-grade."
"This magical weapon is not in harmony with my martial arts and it is not easy to use. Please return this artifact to its original owner!"
"Ah...this..."
Seeing this second-level magic weapon, Zhang Jiuting was stunned and quickly refused:
"No, no, no, this is already Senior Brother Xu's magic weapon, I absolutely cannot take it!"
Putting something into Zhang Jiuting's hand, Xu Wen said in a deep voice:
"Just take it if it's given to you, why are you and my brother so polite!"
After the Xiao family repaired this magic weapon, it was delivered to Xu Wen very late. In the series of battles that followed, the power of this cold jade net was too small and it was basically useless.
With multiple high-level magic weapons, especially after acquiring the Immortal Binding Rope, Xu Wen had almost forgotten about this cold jade net.
But that was him. To an ordinary Qi Refiner, any second-level magic weapon was very precious.
Especially casual cultivators like Zhang Jiuting were struggling to survive. In order to build a foundation, they had to sell their magical weapons.
Until now, he still uses the first-order high-grade magic weapon, so he doesn't think that the second-order magic weapon is difficult to use.
After several refusals, seeing Xu Wen's insistence, Zhang Jiuting stopped refusing and accepted the cold jade net, saying gratefully:
"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Xu, for your great kindness, Zhang will definitely repay it in the future!"
After a few words of greeting, Xu Wen winked at Zuo Mingyue and knowing what he meant, Zuo Mingyue immediately said:
"Junior Brother Zhang, it's not a long-term solution for you to wander around and take risks. It's better to stay here in Jie Tian City."
"Together, we brothers can always have someone to take care of us. Isn't it many times better than you alone?"
