Chapter 220: Falling Petals, Heart-Stirring
The sudden appearance of the Longyuan Sword stunned Lingxiang for a moment. She originally thought that Long Qi had found the innate Qi and was secretly happy that the guy had good aptitude. She didn't expect that it was the will of the Longyuan Sword itself.
But then she changed her mind, thinking that it was probably the sword spirit, so it was not a pity that she returned it to its original owner, which was considered as repaying the favor.
Seeing this, Xinyi felt relieved, but she was indeed in a passive position at the moment. If she didn't destroy the compass in Huiwu's hand, the endless monsters would make her exhausted to death.
Only by destroying the compass in his hand can Long Qi and Zhao Wuyang be safe.
Given Xinyi's level of cultivation, he naturally had a plan to escape, but if he had gotten away, Lingxiang would have been in danger. However, now was a good opportunity.
Xinyi used the three flying shadow moves to kill all the monsters around him. Then he twisted his fingers and instantly turned into a ball of black mist, which floated into the depths of the black woods and disappeared in an instant.
Hui Wu was already furious at the sword formation, but when he saw Xin Yi flee, he burst into laughter. "After all, he's just a dog of the messenger. Now that he's defeated, he can only abandon you and flee in disgrace." He then looked at Ling Xiang and said, "If we can deal with you, a mere elder like you, Fu Cang, we can wipe them out. I want to see how long this sword formation can hold up."
Lingxiang naturally believed Xinyi. If he truly wanted to escape, he would have used his magic to flee long ago. Even ten Huiwus wouldn't be able to catch him. The Lu family's magic and martial arts weren't good at direct confrontation, but rather at stealth. He must have been hiding, waiting for an opportunity.
This is good, now that I have the sword formation to protect me, I can rest for a while to avoid being held back later. Thinking of this, Lingxiang took out a spirit-gathering pill from her waist and sat in meditation for the first time.
Now, we can only hope that Long Qi is safe and sound and can gain enlightenment soon!
…
It's easy to say, but when Long Qi was practicing in Qingwei Peak, he mostly practiced the method of drawing spirits into weapons, just to be able to send spiritual power into the Longyuan Sword, but he really knew nothing about magic.
It’s not that Lingxiang didn’t teach, but firstly, he really couldn’t concentrate, and secondly, Lingxiang was mainly teaching Rendong at that time, and he and Xinyi were just there to keep her company.
According to Lingxiang, honeysuckle is suitable for practicing the Five Elements, and secondly, he needs to be proficient in many techniques in order to flexibly use the combination of talismans on the Suidong fan.
Thinking of this, Long Qi couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had made up his mind to learn more at that time, he wouldn't have ended up in such a passive position.
Long Qi tried hard to recall the magic techniques that Lingxiang taught him at that time, but he could never remember those complicated formulas and hand gestures clearly. He gestured to the dead tree for a long time, but the dead tree did not respond at all.
Just as he was feeling irritated, he suddenly remembered that the medicinal fields of Qingwei Peak had remained safe even through the harsh winter. According to Lingxiang, that was entirely due to Hanyang's magic. Back then, Long Qi had been jealous of Hanlu's words and had sought out Hanyang, intending to learn his magic. Hanyang had said he could teach him.
…
"It's not that I don't want to teach you," Han Yang said, walking past Long Qi and taking a copy of "Taoism" from the bookshelf behind him. He then continued, "With your aptitude, you can indeed practice this technique. But do you know how to control the spiritual energy in your body?"
Long Qi shook his head: "Lingxiang did teach me some methods of attracting spirits, but although I can use them to some extent, I still don't understand them."
Han Yang smiled upon hearing this, seemingly unconcerned about Long Qi addressing Ling Xiang by name. "Look, firstly, you don't understand the Way of Spirit Flowing, and secondly, you are Elder Fu Cang's disciple after all, while I'm only the headmaster's eldest disciple. It's really not appropriate for me to interfere in his duties."
"However, if Junior Sister agrees, as long as you can master the Five Elements and the method of spiritual movement, I am willing to teach you everything I know."
"She naturally agreed. However, every time I practiced magic, I always couldn't find the right method. That's why she directly taught me how to draw the spirit into the weapon. Combined with the sword technique, it has achieved some results."
"Little Sister-in-Law has simplified the process and directly taught you the method. But even so, you can't just understand the method without knowing the reason. If you just blindly accept it, isn't that going against the way of cultivation?"
Han Yang looked at Long Qi and said, "Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were in danger one day and couldn't wield your sword?"
"This..." Long Qi was speechless for a moment. He really didn't expect this. Now, to him, the Longyuan Sword was like his arm. How could he not use it?
Just when Long Qi was puzzled, he heard Han Yang say, "Now you can only draw the spirit into the sword, and at most use the sword to send the spirit energy out. But if you can master the way to mobilize the spirit, not to mention some simple techniques, even flying the sword will be a piece of cake."
Hearing this, Long Qi's eyes lit up. The second half of the "Dragon Entanglement Sword Art" included a flying sword move, but he had been thinking hard about it for a long time and couldn't do it. It seemed that this was the problem.
"Then how do we use our spirit?" Long Qi asked anxiously.
"I have to ask you this," Han Yang said, and with a twist of his fingers, the brush on the table moved by itself.
"Although the methods of channeling spiritual energy and guiding spiritual energy into a vessel differ, they are both essentially about understanding the path of self. What are you thinking about when you circulate spiritual energy?"
…
"What's in your mind..." Long Qi frowned. He originally thought that Han Yang deliberately said these ambiguous words to fool him, but now he thinks that he was actually instructing him.
Yes, in the past I only thought about revenge, and was eager to achieve success in cultivation, so I never took the time to think about these things. Now I think I was too superficial.
Long Qi walked up to the dead tree and stroked the rough bark.
Old tree, old tree, if you are really my Qi, then respond to me. Shouldn't I be so obsessed with hatred?
Thinking of this, Long Qi closed his eyes and injected spiritual energy into the pear tree. The difference from the past was that his spiritual energy did not have the usual violent energy, but was like a trickle, slowly and softly.
A fragrance drifted and landed on Long Qi's upright nose. He quickly opened his eyes when he smelled the fragrance.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and in an instant, petals fell like snow.
…
Lingxiang was still sitting in meditation. Although Yunmeng Lake was full of spiritual energy and she had taken the Spirit Gathering Pill, it had little effect.
After all, she had a residual spiritual root, so it was somewhat difficult for her to gather spiritual power. However, she did not dare to be careless at all. She meditated attentively while paying close attention to Hui Wu's movements.
During this period, there were monsters that tried to force their way into the formation, but the fire of the Longyuan Sword Formation seemed to be alive. The flames were like ropes, tightly wrapping around those monsters and burning them to ashes.
But not long after, the flames of the sword formation began to slowly shrink, as if the spiritual power had been exhausted.
Seeing this, Hui Wu smiled defiantly. When the flames disappeared, he waved his hand and a group of monsters roared and pounced towards Lingxiang.
