After one of the Nine Sons Mother's Ghost Sword's sub-swords was knocked down, Su Rui immediately raised his hand to admit defeat.
Shi Yi had already taken the initiative and controlled the rhythm in the sword fight. The downing of the first sword of the Nine Sons Mother Ghost Sword was actually the beginning of the defeat. Although Su Rui could still activate the mutual binding properties of the Nine Sons Mother Ghost Sword to make the shot-down flying sword return, this approach was of little significance as Shi Yi had an absolute advantage.
Since the winner has been decided and I have gained some insights from the sword fight, there is no need to continue.
After putting away the sword, Su Rui flew to the mountain where Shi Yi was.
Seeing that Shi Yi had quickly killed two pheasants and a half-grown roe deer, Su Rui pressed the escape light and helped find some dry firewood to start a fire. After cleaning the pheasants and roe deer and roasting them over the fire, Su Rui took out two jars of his privately hidden jade blood wine.
He gave one jar to Shi Yi, and Su Rui took one for himself, swiftly opening the seal and taking a large, hearty swig. Before becoming Li Qinghe, he hadn't been a heavy drinker. After joining the Qingcheng Sect, he suddenly developed a fondness for the slightly tipsy feeling that comes with drinking. Since he'd met a good friend and nothing important happened, why not have a couple of drinks to unwind a little?
Shi Yi, however, was much more polite than him. He picked up the wine jar, took a sip, and uttered a soft "Ha". This green blood wine was the best wine he had ever tasted. It was sweet and mellow, with a hint of blood, which made him linger in the aftertaste.
"Why do you still carry such good wine with you?" Shi Yi said with a smile.
"Haha, it's mainly to please my senior master." Su Rui replied.
After the two of them drank a few sips, the atmosphere calmed down a bit, and Shi Yi's expression became more serious.
"Erlang, I see that although your swordsmanship has some routines, it lacks some rules. Although your flying sword is not bad now, without good sword techniques, it is difficult to exert the power that the flying sword should have!"
"You'll be able to tell by observing more often. Every swordsman's style is unique to him or her. It's related to the sect's traditional sword techniques. An individual's swordsmanship is often based on the sect's heritage, combined with a unique understanding of the individual, forming a unique style."
"Yes, I have been thinking about this question recently... Is your kendo style inspired by the principles of Tai Chi?" Su Rui nodded in agreement.
"It's the way of Yin and Yang Tai Chi! This is the sword style I developed before my reincarnation. Once a style is formed, it's very difficult to change it!"
Shi Yi probably thought the Bixue wine was delicious, so he changed his habit of sipping it lightly and took a sip directly. He wiped the corner of his mouth and said.
Su Rui nodded. Since his cultivation, he had come across quite a few secret techniques, but texts like the "Genjin Sword Qi Art," "Spirit Control Art," and "Mysterious Nether Sutra" were essentially techniques that made it difficult to break through the Qi Refining Stage and achieve Dao Fruit. Strictly speaking, they could be considered unorthodox. Although he eventually joined the Qingcheng Sect as he wished, due to the short time he had, and despite obtaining scriptures like the "Innate Gengjin Sword Art," "Qingcheng Shangqing Heart Method Secret Scroll," and "Taishang Dongshen Five Stars and Constellations Sun and Moon Chaotic Magic Scripture," his swordsmanship had only reached the third level, allowing him to enter and exit the Qingming Realm. Therefore, his usual fighting style consisted of either strictly following the sword techniques or using random moves without any rules. He hadn't yet considered the concept of swordsmanship style.
At this time, after Shi Yi's improvement, he suddenly realized that he should also pay attention to this aspect of practice.
The Qingcheng Sect, while possessing a legacy of Heavenly Scripture, lacks the foundations of larger sects like Kunlun and Emei, its swordsmanship and Daoist techniques are not inferior. It simply lacks a distinguished presence. True Man Yu'e could barely be considered the Qingcheng Sect's face, but he operates on his own whim and doesn't prioritize sect promotion. This leads many newer generations to believe he's a loner and simply forget about the Qingcheng Sect. Yuan Ning, on the other hand, is known for his fierce swordsmanship and uncompromising tactics, making him a rare figure among the young disciples of both the righteous and evil sects. Given his unique prominence, few would even consider him a member of the Qingcheng Sect.
All in all, the sword techniques of the Qingcheng Sect are actually not bad. Su Rui feels that if one wants to develop his own personal style, he can actually use the Qingcheng Sword Technique as the main body and learn from the sword techniques of more masters to create his own style.
Of course, this is a complex and lengthy task.
He knew he needed constant practice and refinement to truly master the art of swordsmanship. However, he also knew his own style could begin by emulating Shi Yi's. Shi Yi's style was unique and sophisticated, and Su Rui was also deeply familiar with the principles of Tai Chi. He believed that with continued imitation and learning, he would gradually grasp the essence of Shi Yi's swordsmanship and incorporate it into his own style.
Su Rui was awakened by the movement of the Black Mountain Divine Seal.
After coming out of his contemplation, he turned his gaze to the space of the Black Mountain Divine Seal and found that Chi Jiao had woken up from his sleep.
After a period of sleep, her figure became slimmer, but the scales on her body had a golden sheen, and a more conspicuous reverse scale grew under her jaw. Although her appearance did not change much, she had an inexplicable sense of majesty and nobility.
Su Rui was very surprised. He knew that the red dragon was taking another small step towards becoming a real dragon.
He couldn't help but sigh at the extraordinary power of the Immortality Vine fruit. Unfortunately, similar natural treasures only work best the first time; the effect is minimal the second time. The landlord's family didn't have any extra food, so Su Rui didn't plan to give Chi Jiao the Immortality Vine fruit again.
