In the secret room, Ling Yunpo sat quietly, with the Qingling Divine Pearl suspended above his chest.

Suddenly, he raised his right hand and slowly made a Taoist gesture.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth... His hands fluttered like butterflies, continuously making one hand seal after another.

The Qingling Divine Pearl also began to rotate at high speed, and a face slowly emerged from the surface of the pearl.

It was not Ling Yunpo's face, but Chen Guanshui's face.

However, the two of them look exactly the same, it’s just that Ling Yunpo has the illusion of mirror flowers and water moons, while this incarnation does not.

Finally, Ling Yunpo made the last hand seal, the Qingling Divine Pearl trembled for a moment, and suddenly hit his forehead.

The moment it touched the skin, it melted in without any hindrance.

Ling Yunpo has already noticed that the Qingling Divine Pearl is now located in his sea of ​​consciousness, floating together with the Kunlun Mirror.

"This is your incarnation." The light dot representing the Kunlun Mirror circled around the Qingling Divine Pearl and said with emotion, "Interesting, I think its greatest help is not in combat, but in your role-playing."

"Indeed." Qing Ping Sword also agreed, "I think with the Sword Master's... flexibility, he will definitely be able to use his external incarnation in many ways that we can never imagine."

"Okay, Qingping, you can stop talking." Ling Yun said calmly, "This is not flexibility, this is wisdom."

He immersed his spiritual consciousness into the Qingling Divine Pearl again and soon confirmed the usage of the incarnation.

The so-called "incarnation" does not refer to a clone, but to the continuation of one's own spiritual consciousness.

For ordinary cultivators, the number of magical instruments that they can control simultaneously using their spiritual sense is limited.

Most cultivators can only "concentrate on one thing", that is, to control a flying sword to attack.

At most, he could control another flying sword under his feet to move. After all, moving with the sword-controlling technique did not require complicated trajectories and consumed relatively less mental energy.

The monks of Mount Shu, after undergoing special secret training, can manipulate two flying swords to attack at the same time while ensuring the movement of the swords. This is the so-called "dual concentration" or "two-handed sword-controlling".

To control more flying swords, only those with extraordinary talents can do it.

However, the external incarnation can serve as a carrier, attaching the spiritual consciousness to it and extending it out, thus forming a "spiritual consciousness core" with low-level intelligence.

In other words, after having an incarnation, while Ling Yunpo can control two flying swords to attack, his incarnation will control the third flying sword to coordinate and restrain the opponent, thus reaching the realm of "controlling three swords at the same time".

This third flying sword was not directly controlled by Ling Yunpo's spiritual consciousness, but was controlled by the will of an incarnation with the same thinking as Ling Yunpo.

Therefore, he needs to synchronize his will with that of the incarnation at all times, and the easiest way to do this is to nurture it in his sea of ​​consciousness.

If the external incarnation leaves the sea of ​​consciousness for too long and fails to synchronize with the main will, it is possible to develop an independent consciousness... To put it mildly, it is just the loss of an external incarnation, but in serious cases it may cause the incarnation to become hostile to the original body, or even ambush and plot against the original body in order to take over his body to be reborn, so this thing actually has great hidden risks.

However, Ling Yunpo was not too worried about this.

Because of Ah Jing's existence, he really couldn't think of any situation that would require him to send out his external incarnation to lure away the enemy so that his main body could escape alone... This was also the only situation he could think of where his external incarnation would be away from him for too long.

After hiding the Qingling Divine Pearl in his sea of ​​consciousness, Ling Yunpo left the secret room and went to look for Senior Sister An in the backyard.

The next thing to do is to find another flying sword as his third flying sword.

When he came to the backyard again, Ling Yunpo saw that Senior Sister An was drunk again, and she had no idea where she had thrown her original pipa.

At this time, the elder sister's hair was disheveled, her clothes were slightly undone, and she was drunk. When she saw her younger brother Ling Yunpo coming over, she smiled and waved at him:

"Come on, Junior Brother, drink with me."

"Why are you so drunk again, Senior Sister?" Ling Yunpo frowned and came over to help her straighten her collar and tidy up her appearance. "As a Senior Sister, how can you disregard your dignity?"

"Stop, stop talking nonsense!" An Zhisu scolded him in a pretentious manner, then smiled sweetly again, put her jade-like arm around his neck, and hooked his shoulders, "I'm your senior sister, you have to listen to me..."

Ling Yunpo smiled awkwardly on the surface, but sneered in his heart, complaining that apart from being protective and good at fighting, how could An Zhisu behave like a senior sister?

"Master." An Zhisu suddenly lowered his head again and said bitterly, "It's the Baiyujing competition. When can you come out of seclusion..."

Hearing her crying softly, Ling Yunpo's originally cold and hard mood couldn't help but soften.

During the time without the master, the senior sister carried the entire Qingluo Peak on her shoulders alone. I think she must have been exhausted.

Under such heavy pressure, if one can use alcohol to relieve his sorrow, it is not considered an excessive bad habit.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw An Zhisu staggering to his feet again and said:

"Come on, Junior Brother, let's go practice swordplay."

"Practicing swordplay?"

An Zhisu covered her forehead, as if enduring dizziness, and said slowly:

"Junior brother, if what Lin Duanshan and the others said is true, then if you want to defeat Qiu Changtian, Xu Yinglian and Luo Yan in the Baiyujing competition this time, you need to... well, make adequate preparations."

"Next, let's train hard." She laughed again.

Ling Yunpo was very familiar with his senior sister's smile.

Generally speaking, if the senior sister is in a bad mood, she will often choose to drink to relieve her sorrow. But if drinking still cannot relieve her depression, then she will choose to practice sword skills - of course, Ling Yunpo is her only designated sparring partner at this time.

Fortunately, Senior Sister An is a very protective person, so as a junior brother, I won't get hurt by sparring with her.

Only suffering.

Thinking of the several times he was exhausted by his senior sister, Ling Yunpo immediately looked bitter and changed the subject:

"Sister, I accidentally got an incarnation, and now I want to get a flying sword. Do you have any good ideas?"

"An incarnation?" Even though An Zhisu was carefree, he was not fooled this time. He was sobered up by the shock and asked in shock, "Where did you get it? Don't you have to make it yourself?"

"Ahem." Ling Yunpo didn't expect that Senior Sister An would be so serious this time, so he could only explain perfunctorily, "It was just by 'chance' that I got the refining method; and by 'accident', I refined it into an external incarnation. That's why I came to bother Senior Sister this time."

An Zhisu was distracted by the last sentence and said angrily:

"How can asking for help from my senior sister be called 'bothering'? When did I ever teach you to be so reserved?"

"It's not that there are no flying swords in the temple, but there are no tenth-level immortal swords. Other swords can be used as a means of transportation, but they are not enough to be used in the sword duel in the competition."

"How about this, let's go to the Sword Pond and apply for another one."

"That's great." Ling Yunpo clapped his hands and smiled.

It's certainly not that he didn't want to go to the sword pool to get the sword, he just used it as a topic to let Senior Sister An "know" that he had obtained an incarnation.

Sure enough, although An Zhisu was very surprised, she still believed his carefully prepared excuse and did not investigate the matter further.

This is the unique thoughtfulness and gentleness of my senior sister!

If it were the annoying Miss Shi, her curiosity would surge and she would have to use one hundred and eight tricks of acting cute to pester you for clarification.
