On December 21st, on a snowy peak in the Snowy Mountains, the cold wind howled and snowflakes danced.
A pretty woman in thin white clothes is practicing swordplay. Her swordsmanship is fierce and her moves are extremely fast. You can often see three or four graceful figures dancing swords at the same time.
Next to her, a girl of about 12 or 13 years old, wearing a plain robe, sat cross-legged on a futon and meditated. Threads of ice spiritual energy invisible to the naked eye quickly gathered, and part of it sank into her body from her Baihui point, and the other part As she breathed in and out, it blended into her Dantian bit by bit.
The two of them were Liu Xueyan and Huixin who followed Fairy Miaoyu to the Snowy Mountains for training.
After a while, Liu Xueyan stopped her sword moves, returned the sword to its sheath, and suddenly looked at Hui Xin with envy. It is undeniable that her qualifications are also good. She has a high-level ice soul body. Even in the seven sects, she is qualified to become an inner disciple. But compared to the young senior sister Hui Xin, there is a huge difference. At a young age, he is already at the innate state. According to the master, Huixin is the Bingpo Taoist body and will inherit the master's mantle in the future. It was impossible not to be jealous, but she gritted her teeth and shook off these distracting thoughts and continued to practice. She believes that as long as she works hard enough, she will be able to belong to no one!
Liu Xueyan was practicing her swordplay selflessly. At some point, a second-level monster snow leopard quietly approached and took aim at Huixin.
After a while, the snow leopard's color was almost the same as the heavy snow, making it difficult to attract people's attention. It slowly approached and suddenly pounced on Hui Xin.
At this time, Huixin woke up suddenly, her face changed drastically with fear. She had never learned any martial arts moves, so she could only slap them randomly with one palm!
The surging ice energy turned into cold wind and hit the snow leopard. The snow leopard, which weighed nearly two hundred kilograms, fell hard to the ground about ten feet away.
However, Hui Xin was not proficient in martial arts, and his true energy was too scattered, causing no effective damage to the snow leopard at all.
The snow leopard turned over and pounced again.
At this moment, a figure in white flashed forward and appeared in front of Hui Xin. His sharp sword cut down as fast as thunder!
Snow Leopard's head was cut in half and he fell to the ground dead. The blood spattered and dyed Liu Xueyan's white clothes red.
Huixin looked frightened and looked at Liu Xueyan with a grateful expression: "Junior sister, thank you!"
Liu Xueyan touched her little head and said with a smile: "You are my little senior sister, of course I have to protect you."
Then, she looked at the snow leopard and said with a smile: "We can have another meal after we get down the mountain."
At this time, Huixin suddenly sensed the rich ice spiritual energy swarming towards a nearby cave, quickly forming a spiritual energy tide that was several times faster than the speed at which Ling Feng breathed out the spiritual energy. She looked surprised and said: "It's Master, Master is finally going to break through!"
Although Liu Xueyan did not have an innate breakthrough, she was an advanced ice spirit and was extremely sensitive to ice aura. Naturally, the spiritual energy tide of this ice aura could not be hidden from her. She nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Master is finally going to break through to the soul-melting realm!"
The gap between innate perfection and the master's realm is divided into two steps. The first step is to refine the Qi to become a god and condense the martial soul. The second step is to harmonize the god and Qi to condense the true essence. However, the second step is a matter of time and effort, and the most important thing is to condense the martial spirit. Condensing the martial soul fuses the three souls with one's own essence to form the martial soul, so it is also called the Soul Fusion Realm. Of course, Wuhun is what warriors call it, while ascetics call it Yin Shen, or the Yuan Fei or Dao Fei.
Warriors practice contemplation techniques, condense spiritual power, form virtual appearances, and condense true forms, but this is actually only the fusion of a part of the soul, which can be called the life soul. There are also the two souls of heaven and earth, the so-called subconscious mind, which takes over everything after a person falls asleep and regulates the balance of the body.
The subconscious represented by the two souls of heaven and earth is far more powerful than the life soul. Therefore, if you want to successfully fuse the soul, you must first strengthen the life soul and balance the three souls before the fusion can be carried out.
In order to strengthen the soul of life, one must refine the energy to become a god, use one's own true energy to condense spiritual power, and strengthen the soul of life! However, tempering the soul is much more dangerous than imagined
When a martial soul first takes shape, the power of the soul surges, and the speed at which spiritual energy is exhaled will also increase dramatically. It is easy to form a small spiritual energy tide, which is also an important basis for judging whether a breakthrough is achieved.
However, even if a warrior has condensed his martial soul and achieved a half-step martial arts master, he will not be able to leave immediately. The martial soul must absorb enough spiritual energy to completely stabilize his body.
Therefore, the two women came to the entrance of the cave to protect Miaoyu.
After nearly two hours, the spiritual energy tide gradually subsided.
A moment later, in the cave, Miaoyu, who was wearing a plain Taoist robe, slowly opened her eyes, stood up and came out.
When Liu Xueyan and Huixin saw Miaoyu, they clasped their fists at the same time and said, "Congratulations to Master for condensing the martial spirit. The Grandmaster is in sight!"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Miaoyu's mouth, and she glanced at the two women and said: "Xueyan, although your cultivation has reached the peak of the acquired world, you must not be complacent. You must work harder to break through the innate realm. Also, Huixin, starting from today, you You can learn martial arts!"
Hui Xin suddenly looked happy and cheered: "Great, Master, my junior sister shot a snow leopard today, let's go down the mountain to celebrate!"
Miaoyu smiled and said: "Okay, let's go!"
She immediately walked over, packed the snow leopard body in a mustard bag, and then the group went down the mountain.
More than a quarter of an hour later, there was a small town at the foot of the mountain.
Master Miaoyu and his apprentice returned to the inn.
Liu Xueyan went up the stairs and saw a middle-aged man in black clothes and a young man in white walking towards him. He suddenly looked surprised and said: "Uncle Sun, why are you here!"
Sun Shaoying smiled and said: "Your father asked me to take you to Cangzhou City to celebrate the New Year."
At this time, the young man in white clothes next to him cupped his fists and said, "See Miss and Senior Miaoyu!"
Miaoyu ignored him, looked at him and said calmly: "Xueyan, you guys talk, Huixin and I"
Liu Xueyan glanced at him and said, "Uncle Sun, who is he? Why haven't I seen him?"
Just as Sun Shaoying was about to speak, the young man in white clasped his fists and said, "Miss Qichen, my subordinate is Yi Nantian, the second-rank guard of the Houye Mansion!"
Although Liu Xueyan didn't know what level the second-grade guard was, he could sense the surging energy and blood in this person. He was obviously an innate master! However, what does it mean to be an innate master? Her little senior sister is an innate master, and her master is even a half-step martial artist. This person dared to rob Uncle Bai Sun, of course she was unhappy, and immediately said coldly: "Did I ask you anything?"
The young man in white suddenly looked a little ugly, but he managed not to have an attack.
Sun Shaoying said hurriedly: "Your father currently lives in Xiaoyao Hou Mansion. The Marquis is your mother's father and your grandfather. This is Yi Guard. He has late-stage congenital orifice refining skills and is highly regarded by the Marquis. Xue Yan Don’t be rude!”
Although in Liu Xueyan's heart, Sun Shaoying was much more important than Yi Nantian, in the Hou Mansion, Sun Shaoying, an acquired master, was only a fifth-grade guard, and his status was far inferior to that of Yi Nantian. If not for his special status, it would be impossible for him to accompany Liu Xueyan on such a task.
Moreover, Liu Xueyan's mother is dead after all. Liu Zhenshan, his uncle, is naturally not in a very good situation. He is looked down upon, and his status may not even be comparable to that of Yi Nantian, a second-grade guard. Therefore, Sun Shaoying did not want Liu Xueyan to offend this person.
After hearing Sun Shaoying's words, Liu Xueyan knew what was going on, but she was a girl after all, so she could not be embarrassed, so she just snorted without any intention of apologizing.
