Shen Yunhao has now reached a high level of expertise in swordsmanship.
With the insights gained from so many real battles, his swordplay was so impressive that Ning Yuyao, watching from the side, nodded in approval. Her husband was no longer the show-off he used to be...
But after he finished his sword dance, the old man sneered, "It's quite impressive... but a grown man learning a woman's sword technique, lacking any masculinity, isn't he ashamed to go out like this..."
"..."
Ning Yuyao frowned, wanting to refute, but then heard Shen Yunhao laugh and say, "Senior, you're mistaken! Since it's my wife who taught me this sword technique, whether it's yin or yang, it's still a good sword technique! After all... your wife is the boss!"
Ning Yuyao opened her mouth, but then swallowed her words.
She didn't know whether to be happy or angry after hearing those words.
"Although you are inferior to her in every way, it is quite rare that you have been able to cultivate this kind of mentality!"
At this moment, the old man took out a jade slip from his robes and tossed it to Shen Yunhao, saying, "This is the Blood Sun Sword Qi. I see that you haven't been at the Soul Refining stage for long, so you probably haven't practiced the Frost Sword Qi of the Guanghan Palace. I'm giving you this technique; whether you practice it or not is entirely up to you..."
"Frosty sword energy?"
Shen Yunhao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ning Yuyao.
The girl nodded and said, "Our meeting has been brief, and I haven't had a chance to teach you yet... The so-called sword energy is the combination of swordsmanship and spiritual energy to achieve a more powerful attack effect..."
Shen Yunhao then realized that even though he had reached the Soul Condensation stage, he still mostly engaged in close combat and had virtually no ranged attacks.
Back then, the sword strike that Ning Yuyao used to defeat Huang Wenlong on the small hill in Tanghuo City was clearly not something he could have delivered!
The old man smiled faintly, "Sword energy is good, but it's not the best... After all, the power of a divine weapon can only be maximized at close range, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao's pupils contracted.
He actually saw the Frost Silence Spirit-Enchanting Effect on the Returning Snow Sword just by looking at it.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't stoop so low as to bully a little kid like you..." The old man took out another jade slip and tossed it to Shen Yunhao. "Close combat is too risky. This is my self-created movement technique, the Lingbo Sword Step. You can take it and practice it..."
"What?"
Shen Yunhao was taken aback and tentatively asked, "Senior... is this feasible?"
"What the hell? My surname is He!"
"Oh, sorry to bother you..."
"???"
Although he was puzzled, the old man still instructed him: "This Lingbo Sword Step must never be passed on to outsiders. It must be destroyed after use!"
Shen Yunhao's expression hardened, and he clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, saying, "Thank you for bestowing this method upon me, senior. I will certainly remember it!"
"Alright, alright, this matter is settled. Now get out of here and don't disturb my peaceful cultivation..."
After saying this, before Shen Yunhao could say goodbye, the old man waved his sleeve, and a gust of wind swept in, carrying the two of them out of the valley.
By the time Shen Yunhao came to his senses, he was already in the peach grove.
Ning Yuyao patted her sleeves, a smile playing on her lips, a rare hint of joy appearing on her usually calm face.
"This unexpected trip has brought such good fortune to Brother Yunhao. Brother Yunhao should cherish it!"
Shen Yunhao shook his head and chuckled, then called out loudly into the distance, "Senior He, when will I come to see you again?"
"..."
After a long silence, a soft sigh was heard in the air.
"Don't bother me before the Spirit Void..."
"Your disciple will obey your orders!"
This last sentence ultimately received no response...
Finally, Shen Yunhao could only scratch his head helplessly, "I was hoping to find a cheap master, but unfortunately... this old man saw through me..."
Ning Yuyao quickly rolled her eyes at him, "Husband, don't talk nonsense! But... the senior hasn't told us how to get out of this peach grove..."
"hey-hey!"
Shen Yunhao reached out and pinched the girl's cheek. "So my Yao'er is a little directionally challenged!"
"Knowing how amazing my husband is..." The young girl blushed and pouted, "He not only helped the senior uncover the mystery but also gained a great deal of good fortune. Since my husband is so amazing, then let's take Yao'er out of this peach grove..."
"Sure, let's start with a kiss..."
Shen Yunhao shamelessly leaned in and pressed his face closer.
For an old married couple, kissing on the cheek is naturally no problem, but Ning Yuyao still subconsciously looked in the direction of the valley before leaning over and kissing Shen Yunhao on the cheek.
"Alright, my husband, lead the way!"
"We need to do this one too..."
"..."
They kissed again.
"No, I want to kiss Yao'er too..."
"roll!!"
Before Shen Yunhao could step forward, a voice that could no longer bear it finally echoed from within the valley, and the two were once again swept away by a strong gust of wind, flying into the distance...
They encountered no hindrance when crossing that barrier.
When they opened their eyes again, the two were already in the woods outside, and the large peach orchard had completely disappeared.
This is also why Shen Yunhao and the other person did not see the peach grove from the sky at that time.
The entire peach grove was surrounded by a barrier, making it impossible to see what was inside. If it weren't for the accidental fall, one would probably never have discovered the hidden world beyond the grove.
Seeing this, Shen Yunhao smiled smugly and said, "See, it's out now."
"..."
Ning Yuyao opened her mouth, but was speechless...
"Alright, alright, let's hurry back, or our senior sisters will get worried!"
After saying that, he immediately took off on his sword and flew away into the distance.
Shen Yunhao laughed for two seconds, then suddenly realized, "Hey? Yao'er, I haven't gotten on the bus yet!"
"My husband is so powerful, why don't you fly on your sword yourself?"
"..."
...
After the two returned to the flying boat, they did not mention the valley to Guan Yingying. Instead, they made an excuse that they needed to go into seclusion for a few days and would go to Wanren City later.
The main purpose was to give Shen Yunhao time to refine the Divine Nourishing Mushroom.
Guan Yingying didn't ask any more questions. This place was only a day's journey from Wanren City, and the Sword Tournament was still at least ten days away.
Three days later, Shen Yunhao had fully digested the medicinal power of the Spirit-Nourishing Mushroom and felt that the total amount of spiritual energy in his Qi Palace was more than double what it used to be...
Then, he enthusiastically suggested that he wanted to have a fight with his wife.
In this fight, Shen Yunhao had undoubtedly made great progress, persisting for a full half incense stick's time before finally being defeated.
Hmm... Before refining the Spirit-Nourishing Mushroom, I could only last for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Now that the spiritual energy has doubled, the time I can last has also doubled...
Shen Yunhao didn't even know if this counted as progress.
However, Ning Yuyao rarely injured him, so the effects of the Seven Injury Technique were not realized.
If it's in real life, what if you're dealing with a serious wife?
Maybe we can hold on a little longer...
Originally, Shen Yunhao was thinking of learning that Lingbo Weibu... no, Lingbo Jianbu.
However, after estimating that it would take at least a month before it could be put to use in actual combat, he put it aside and went to Wanren City with the others.
