Entering the practice room, Yiran suddenly realized that he had picked up a treasure. The unknown medicine the old man took for him actually had the effect of restoring his mental strength. So he immediately sat down cross-legged and concentrated his true energy to refine the medicinal solution, thoroughly refining all the medicinal effects without wasting any of it.
Feeling that the remaining gap in his mental power was recovering at an extremely fast speed, he couldn't help but wonder what medicine the old man had given him. Among the medicinal liquids that Yiran knows, the ones that can restore mental power are at least level three or higher. The appearance and efficacy of the medicinal liquid are very similar to the spirit-restoring liquid in Gude's book, but the spirit-restoring liquid is refined. The medicinal materials are very precious. Just a fourth-level spirit-suppressing grass is worth hundreds of gold coins. The use of it to refine the third-level spirit-restoring liquid is overuse and reduces its own value.
However, Yiran did not know that the level of medicine refining in the Wind and Fire Principality restricted the use of high-level medicinal materials. She did not know that the strongest alchemist in the Wind and Fire Principality was only at the fourth level, and the fourth-level medicine recipes in the alchemy skills passed down by Goode were relatively small. There are more than ten types of prescriptions for even sixth-level medicines. But even if there is a prescription, it is still far from being able to practice it.
Yi Ran calmly and calmly nourished her mental power while reviewing every detail of the battle just now. Each of the basic moves of stabbing, cutting, and cutting has been performed dozens or hundreds of times in actual combat from various angles. Yiran not only gained a deeper understanding of the use of these three basic moves, but also had a firm feel for the strength and toughness of the long sword in his hand. The most important thing is what moves to use under what circumstances. Yiran already has a vague concept in his mind.
An hour passed in a blink of an eye. Under the influence of a bottle of medicinal liquid, Yiran's mental power had been restored to 90%, and the remaining trace would be completely restored in a few days.
When he walked out of the practice room, he suddenly saw the old man taking a nap, so he walked to the old man's side, clasped his fists, leaned down and said softly, "Thank you, Master, for giving me the medicine."
The old man's eyelids trembled. He was obviously awake but refused to open his eyes. He turned his back to Yiran and continued to pretend to be asleep. However, his suddenly thickened breathing could not hide his obvious desire.
Yiran was at a loss when she saw the old man's behavior. She couldn't figure out why the old man suddenly changed. He was so proud when he took out the medicine just now.
It's just that the old man was so kind as to give medicine today, but Yiran was embarrassed to leave just like that.
"What are you doing here if you don't leave? I don't have the soul-restoring liquid anymore. I feel bad for you if you don't leave even after taking advantage of it."
Listening to the old man's muttering, Yiran cupped his fists and bowed to the end. Although the old man's words were full of reluctance to part with the soul-restoring liquid, he had no intention of asking Yi Ran to make compensation. Just urging Yiran to leave quickly was nothing more than an old man's joke.
After leaving the practice room, Yiran went to the dining hall to eat something casually and then returned to the dormitory to continue practicing. She sat cross-legged on the bed and thought about her current shortcomings. Through today's battle, many weaknesses that need to be compensated have been exposed. Not only his fighting consciousness and instincts, but also his mastery of moves is too little.
It's like he has practiced the Qinglian Sword Art and can even turn his true energy into a sword, showing extremely powerful destructive power, but he has no ability to control the sword's sword release angle in the Qinglian Sword Art. It's like holding a powerful weapon but not having any skills to use it. This is what you need to learn as soon as possible. I have been constantly practicing the three basic moves, and I can already perform them well. I need to learn more profound sword skills.
Re-reading Daozang's practice books about swords in his mind, dozens of related practice books appeared in Yiran's mind. At this moment, Yiran had a trace of doubt. It seems that I have never seen so many sword techniques, but it is very clear in my memory. Could it be that I have remembered it wrong? Yiran believed in his memory very much. Since he could recall it, it must have been something he had read before.
Without delving into this issue, Yiran combed through the swordsmanship books one by one, and was immediately dazzled and interested. Looking at the kendo and martial arts with explosive names, I don’t know how to choose. However, Yiran simply recalled all the classics since he didn't know how to choose.
In the end, Yi Ran favored the classic "Sword Guide" more because it was the most detailed book. At the beginning, the practice of swordsmanship is divided into swordsmanship, swordsmanship and kendo. Swordsmanship is the basis of sword skills. The stronger the swordsmanship, the stronger the combat power. The will of the sword is the will of the sword and the will of man. It is the will expressed in the heart of man. The way of swordsmanship is like the way of heaven, with its rules and regulations, and something that thousands of people can only hope for. Therefore, ordinary people either only practice swordsmanship or sword intention, and there is no fundamental difference between the two. In the end, whether the skill is close to the Tao or the intention transforms into the Tao, each has its own merits.
Now Yiran is in urgent need of a breakthrough in swordsmanship, and he doesn't care at all about his sword intention and swordsmanship. Cultivation of immortality is to cultivate the glorious way of heaven, so why care about the way of swordsmanship? If you don't care about the way of swordsmanship, how can you care about the sword's intention? In the final analysis, practicing swordsmanship is just to make yourself stronger.
In the sword outline, the original three basic sword moves have been increased to thirteen. In addition to the three moves of stabbing, cutting, and cutting, there are also ten moves of drawing, bringing, lifting, blocking, striking, tapping, collapsing, stirring, pressing, and splitting. , from three postures to thirteen postures, each posture was swirling in Yiran's mind, making Yiran dizzy and distracted. After vividly describing each movement of the Thirteen Postures, the basics of the Thirteen Postures were later connected into various sword techniques. Each set of sword techniques only has these basic moves, but each set is very powerful and returns to nature. feeling. There are no complicated and psychedelic bells and whistles, only simple and extreme explosions.
For the next ten days or so, Yiran would go to the battle room to challenge Tang Wudi's illusion every day. It would take an hour every day for the illusion to disappear, and he would only come out after being exhausted and weak.
From the next day onwards, Li Qi no longer bothered to look at Yiran who looked exhausted. He felt distressed even if he didn't look at her. But in his heart, he thought that a boy like Yiran would never be seen again in this life. Even though he has become a respected mage, he is still the only one with Yiran's talent and hard work. If I were a martial artist, I might teach him everything I have learned throughout my life, but it's a pity that I am a magician! However, you should also mention this child to your family head. Whether you let Yiran become a member of our Li family or cultivate him secretly, you can form a good relationship.
Tossing a nine-star elemental stone to Yiran, Yiran took out a silver coin and threw it to Instructor Li Qi before going directly into the practice room to practice. With the daily phantom duels with Tang Wudi, Yiran's understanding of combat became more and more profound, and the thirteen sword moves gradually no longer stuck to the moves themselves. Add your own understanding to the basic moves. Various exquisite moves are often used subconsciously, and they will be digested and understood by yourself during daily review and become your own unique skills.
Over the past ten days, Yiran had gone from needing frequent bursts of true energy to avoid the poisonous hands of the illusion, and gradually became able to fight with inseparable strength, and finally gained a slight advantage. Although it is still impossible to defeat the illusion without using true energy, Yiran's understanding of swordsmanship has already come to the fore. He didn't have a mentor to teach him, but he learned how to fight against enemies and improve his combat experience by fighting against masters, without ever going astray.
With only ten days left before the end of the year, Ma Mingyao and Temusheng came to Yiran's dormitory and slammed the door of Yiran's dormitory with excitement on their faces. He shouted, "Brother Yiran, is Brother Yiran here? Xiaotie and I have broken through the warriors, let's go out for a good meal!"
Yiran opened the dormitory door with a smile on his face, "Why are you two alone, where is Zhou Ming?"
But it was Temusheng who spoke first, "That kid hasn't broken through yet. He will probably break through in the next few days. After all, he is still not as good as the two of us."
Ma Mingyao answered randomly, "Brother Yiran, if you want to eat anything, feel free to ask. I'll treat you to this meal."
When he first entered the academy a year ago, Ma Mingyao, who couldn't even afford meat, has now become a proud and proud young man.
Yiran didn't say anything and led the two of them towards the depths of the academy, avoiding the crowded places and finding a remote and deserted martial arts stage.
While the two of them looked puzzled, Yiran jumped onto the martial arts stage and said to Ma Mingyao and Tiemusheng, "Come up and try your hand to see your strength after breaking through. Don't let me knock you down with just two moves." Let’s talk about small things like eating after the fight.”
Although Ma Mingyao and Temusheng came to report the good news to Yiran, the bellicose two became even more excited when they heard Yiran say that he had fought with them. The fighting styles of the two are very similar, and they both choose to use long knives as weapons. The two have fought dozens of times in the past ten days, almost three times a day. They already have a deep understanding of the basic moves of cutting, stabbing, and robbing. At the same time, Ma Mingyao and Tiemusheng each chose a favorite sword technique. Although they have not yet mastered it to the point of entering the palace, they can still wave a sword in their hands. He also looks like a tiger and is very powerful.
Just when Ma Mingyao took out the long knife and waved it on the spot, Temusheng stepped onto the martial arts stage, clasped his fist at Yiran and took out the long knife used for practical training. Ma Mingyao, who was a step too slow, immediately beat his chest and sat down on the ground. He held his neck with both hands and looked at the two people on the martial arts stage.
He knew in his heart that this was a battle without any suspense. Even if he and Temusheng went together, there would be no surprises. It's just that when Yiran called the two of them here, he naturally didn't want to knock them down with two moves to prove his strength, but intended to give them pointers, so it was most important to observe the battle carefully.
"Brother Yiran, I'm sorry." As soon as he finished speaking, Temusheng raised his sword and stabbed straight. After stepping into the warrior, abundant inner energy was wrapped in the blade, making the long sword even more sharp. The long knife thrust out with extraordinary momentum was about to fall on Yiran.
Yiran raised his sword, which was also a long sword used in training. He stepped forward and used a sword-cutting move. While blocking the long sword, he deflected its tip. At the same time, Yiran took a step forward again and used the sword-cutting move. He slashed at Temusheng's wrist. This set of moves has been tried hundreds or thousands of times in the battle room. After sharpening the sword, all the opponent's possible responses and his subsequent moves have formed a battle memory in his heart, becoming a battle memory. instinct.
