After spending a full three hours activating his true energy to heal his injuries, his internal organs were healed as before. Wei Shiqi let out a long breath, stretched his hands and feet, secretly glad that he was a physical practitioner and did not need to linger on the hospital bed to recuperate.
Yu Yao looked him up and down and asked curiously: "Is everything okay?"
"It's okay, this little injury is nothing."
"In today's sword show, you really stole the show. You were able to snatch the Hundred Birds Phoenix Sword from Ding Yimeng's hand and escape with your body intact. It's amazing."
Wei Shiqi smiled bitterly and said: "Are you praising others or hurting others? In the eyes of you direct disciples of Kunlun, how much stronger can the disciples from the side branches be if they challenge us!"
"That's not what I said. Disciples like Ding Yimeng will not be buried in the direct line of Kunlun. However, he took great pains to practice the 'Ghost Shadow Step'. He originally planned to take Xiang Yu by surprise, but he didn't expect to be exposed first. This Miscalculation."
"Ghost steps?" Wei Shiqi's heart moved.
"Xie Ju, the head of the Shaoling Sect, was born in the Gouyan Sect. The Ghost Shadow Step is a secret technique passed down by Elder Lu. It moves within a radius of three feet, just like a ghost, but it puts a huge burden on the body. Ordinary swordsmen perform it continuously. Three times is almost the limit, but you have practiced Xiaoyue Gong and your body is strong, so it will be no big deal if you do it eight times out of ten times."
Roaring Moon Technique, Crazy Demon Stick Technique, and Ghost Shadow Steps, these three are simply a match made in heaven. Wei Shiqi asked tentatively: "You teach me?"
Yu Yao said half jokingly and half seriously: "Okay, what will you give me in exchange?"
Wei Shiqi thought for a moment, then took out a rotten silver ring and said, "This is a storage ring I got from the Tiele people's high priest..."
Yu Yao retracted her hand and said flatly: "I don't want anything worn by a stinky man!"
Wei Shiqi held the ring with some embarrassment, took it back sarcastically, and said, "How about I give you the iron rod in exchange?"
Yu Yao chuckled, "Whatever I need the iron rod for, you can keep it for yourself."
Wei Shiqi suddenly remembered something, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a Qiankun Yiqi Pill that was as red as blood, held it in his palm and showed it to her, "This is the only one!"
"If you have something good, take it out as soon as possible!" Yu Yao twisted the Qiankun Yiqi Pill, brought it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, her face changed slightly, she hesitated for a moment, put it away in a jade box, took out a jade slip, and put it on his In the palm of your hand.
Wei Shiqi injected a little bit of true energy into the jade slip, and remembered the cultivation method of Guiyingbu in his mind. After confirming that it was correct, he still returned the jade slip to Yu Yao. Ghost Step is just a method of using true energy. It is not complicated in itself. The difficulty lies in how to control the direction and distance of movement. This cannot be mastered in a short time.
The matter involved Elder Lu Pinglu, but he didn't ask much about the origin of the jade slips.
Yu Yao asked softly: "What is your relationship with Elder Ruan...?"
"Didn't I tell you before? She is my senior sister as she accepts a disciple on my father's behalf."
Yu Yao smiled and shook her head, thinking: "The Qiankun Yiqi Pill is a pill refined by the master himself. There is only one bottle left in total. She even gave you the bottle. She is taking too much care of my junior brother."
"Are you tired of it?"
"No, I'm just curious, don't think too much about it."
The two looked at each other, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. Yu Yao bit her lip and said, "There seems to be something wrong."
Wei Shiqi echoed: "It's too quiet."
The mountain forest suddenly became silent, and the noisy cicadas suddenly stopped. Wei Shiqi looked up and saw a wisp of crimson clouds slowly gathering, like a fire, giving off a bit of something strange. After a while, the sound of cicadas sounded again, the sound shook the top of the tree, and people subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not even dusk yet, and the clouds are so gorgeous!" Yu Yao stretched out her hand to block her eyes, and the rays of sunlight passed through her fingers and shone on her cold face, casting a layer of warm bright color.
The two of them looked at the changing clouds on the horizon, but neither of them spoke.
The glow dimmed little by little, and the night fell. Yu Yao sighed softly, feeling a little depressed. She waved her hand to Wei Qi, walked into the forest without looking back, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
In the empty valley, Wei Shiqi was left alone. I have become accustomed to the fact that everyone around me will leave sooner or later. Parents, teachers, partners, children, relatives and friends, men and women, old and young, are all passers-by in life, leaving behind a memory and then disappearing. I can accompany you to the end of my life. In the end, the only one left is myself.
The sadness only lasted for a moment. Wei Shiqi gathered his mood, stuffed his stomach randomly, and lay on the rocks by the stream, looking at the stars in the sky without any distracting thoughts, silently pondering the ghost steps.
One night passed like this.
The Jade Rabbit falls in the west, the Golden Crow rises in the east, and the sword discussion in Chixia Valley ushered in the fourth day. Wei Shiqi’s opponent is Cao Yu of the Xuantong Sect.
When Cao Yu stepped onto the sword-testing platform with the Love-Seizing Sword, Ruan Jing couldn't help frowning. There was a Sanyang Sword Qi hidden in the Love-Seizing Sword. It seemed that Qin Zijie would not hesitate to take action personally in order to suppress the Xiandu Sect. At this moment, it was not convenient for her to say anything. After all, she had helped Wei Shiqi first, and Qin Zijie was just returning the favor.
The full name of Sanyang Sword is Sanyang Guiyuan Demon Fire Sword. It is three feet six inches long and two and a half inches wide. The sword body is made of meteorite iron. It is several times heavier than ordinary flying swords. It contains a ball of Guiyuan Demon Fire. , driven by the Red Lotus Technique among the Four Kunlun Techniques, its power is comparable to that of top-grade magic weapons. It is a rare divine object.
When Qin Zijie was under the Kunlun Five Elements Sect, he practiced the Red Lotus Technique. The Three Yang Sword was like a divine help in his hands, and he was able to control the demonic fire with ease. He once rose to fame and glory. But his temperament was originally irritable and strong, and he had been influenced by the demon fire all year round, which made him go further and further in the extreme direction. Finally, he got out of control and caused a huge disaster.
Qin Zijie knew that he was guilty of a serious crime, so he climbed up the Liushi Peak step by step, knelt down in front of Taoist Ziyang, and bowed his head in confession. Taoist Ziyang recovered the Red Lotus Jue and the Sanyang Sword in public, and abolished his cultivation as a punishment. He only spared his life and was demoted to serve in the Pingyuan Sect to reflect on his mistakes.
After this setback, Qin Zijie's temperament changed drastically and he became calm and restrained. With his half-disabled body, he practiced the Earth Fire Art from the beginning, made several great contributions to Kunlun one after another, rejoined the Five Elements Sect, and accumulated merit along the way to be promoted to... Elder, took back the Sanyang Sword that he valued as his life.
Time has passed, and Qin Zijie is no longer the high-spirited Kunlun disciple he was back then. Although the Earth Fire Technique he practiced can also activate the returning demon fire, without the Red Lotus Technique, he cannot control the demon fire to produce various changes, let alone The transformation comes from the spiritual fire bird and fire beast.
For him, the Sanyang Sword is just a symbol of regaining dignity and glory, nothing more.
Qin Zijie knew very well that he would never be able to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship in his whole life and compete with Ziyang Taoist for the position of master. He was unwilling to do so, so he turned his mind to other places. Controlling the seven sects of the side branch was only the first. For this reason, he did not hesitate to offend Ruan Jing. Although she was the master's beloved disciple and a Kunlun elder, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she had a bright future.
