Lin Xixue held a knife and watched Xu Zhiyi's movements alertly.
Although she was worried that the sword spirit might have a backhand on Xu Zhiyi's body, she couldn't just chop it down. After all, if she did chop it down, the first thing that would be injured would be Xu Zhiyi's body.
Xu Zhiyi raised the broken sword in a dull manner. He was stunned on the spot for a long time, and then the sword moves continued to flow like running water.
Lin Xixue quickly retreated, but Xu Zhiyi had no intention of pursuing him. He just stood on the spot and danced his sword. There were many changes in each sword, but they were all integrated and seemed to have no flaws.
There was still no sparkle in her eyes, but the aura on her body was constantly rising. In just one stick of incense, the pressure on her body had doubled.
Bai Qing, who had finished adjusting her breath, walked to Lin Xixue and said, "She is realizing the sword's intention. Perhaps the sword spirit entered her sea of consciousness just now, and also gave her some inheritance from Patriarch Huasheng."
"Having acquired his inheritance?" Lin Xixue frowned, "But he himself has already embarked on a dead end. If he gains his inheritance, wouldn't he also be on a dead end?"
Bai Qing was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a moment. The path the Patriarch took was a dead end, so wouldn't his own path be a dead end too?
She was silent for a long time, and then replied with some confidence: "At least until you reach the late stage of spiritual transformation, you don't need to face this problem. With inheritance, you can finally have more self-protection capabilities."
Lin Xixue noticed Bai Qing's worries about the future and realized that she might have said the wrong thing. She blinked at her and said with a smile: "It's okay. Maybe we can find some solution in the future?"
"Find a solution..."
Bai Qing was a little depressed. People like the Patriarch, who were astonishingly talented, couldn't even find the problem. How could he be confident that he could find a solution?
Although Bai Qing didn't say anything, how could Lin Xixue not understand what she was worried about, and comforted her: "I found the problems that Master Huasheng didn't find, and the problems that he couldn't solve, we may not be able to solve by working together."
"Yeah!" After hearing this, Bai Qing seemed to suddenly have courage, her eyes couldn't help but brighten a little, and she nodded vigorously.
"Oh, by the way, let me ask you a question. The evil spirits on my body have been eliminated before in the pharmacy, right? Do I have any evil spirits on my body now?" Lin Xixue suddenly remembered this question.
"It's vague, not very clear, it should be a little bit." Bai Qing wrinkled his nose, then suddenly leaned close to her neck, sniffed for a long time before answering, with a rather uncertain tone in his voice.
"But..." Bai Qing paused, "Why do I feel that you seem to be one or two years older than before? Is it my imagination?"
Lin Xixue shook her head with a wry smile, and confessed: "It's not an illusion. According to my speculation, my use of the jade book and magic sword will reduce Yangshou, and the external performance is probably that it will accelerate aging."
"Ah..." Bai Qing covered her mouth in surprise, "Then try not to do anything in the future. Let me fight the enemy."
Lin Xixue nodded and did not refuse. After all, she thought so too. Every time she took action, it would consume one or two years of life. Who could bear this?
I also have a question to ask you. Bai Qing suddenly spoke again: "The various methods you showed before are really unbelievable. Just the elimination of evil spirits is completely incomprehensible to me. I almost guessed you were a true immortal before.
Reincarnated."
"Later I saw your intimate relationship with Hong Yanzi in the cave, and I felt that you were actually his granddaughter."
"You rescued me later. Although I almost believed that you meant no harm, your identity became even more elusive to me. Who are you?"
Lin Xixue opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but the words just turned into a sigh when she reached her lips.
"Actually, I also want to know who I am. I feel like my memory is like countless clips... shadow puppets put together. In fact, I often feel confused as to who I am."
Bai Qing looked into Lin Xixue's eyes. If anyone else said this, she would definitely think it was an excuse to hide her identity.
But Lin Xixue's eyes were so sincere that she instinctively wanted to believe that she was not good at comforting people, so she could only hold Lin Xixue's hand silently.
Lin Xixue smiled with some relief and continued talking to herself.
"But then I figured it out. Who I am actually does not depend on my past memories, but on what I do now and what I want to do in the future."
"So, now that we are friends, then I will be your friend. In the future, we will also build a residence for all the lonely and helpless people in the world. By that time, maybe we will be... ahem.
"
"What will we be at that time?" Bai Qing asked with an innocent look in her eyes, full of expectation.
"Oh, they are people who work together for a common goal." Lin Xixue's mouth revealed a hint of a dark smile.
"..."
"The jade sword you lent me before was broken by me. I'm sorry." Lin Xixue suddenly mentioned this matter seriously again.
"At a critical moment, your life is at stake. There is no need to worry about it. Besides, he is already dead. Forget it... If you really feel guilty, you can grind it with your own hands and pay it to me."
"Okay." Lin Xixue agreed immediately, planning to buy stones and tools in a while.
"Oh, by the way, during the melee and chase in the cave that day, did you ever see a purple sachet with the word 'He' embroidered on it?"
Bai Qing lowered her head, touched her chin with her hand, and asked, "But the one you found on the dead man's body before?"
"That's right! I kept this sachet with me at that time, but for some reason, I couldn't find it after we escaped from the desperate situation."
"Maybe it was left behind during a fight or while escaping from the cave?"
Lin Xixue nodded, and Bai Qing guessed about the same as her, thinking that it might have been lost in the chaos.
I originally thought that if I could bump into the woman who gave the sachet, I would be able to say something, but now it seems that is unlikely.
She was sighing secretly, but Xu Zhiyi suddenly let out a light scolding, and the sword light flashed in her hands, as if forming an invisible force, which made people breathless.
"She's about to break through! She didn't take the Foundation Establishment Pill, but she directly converted her spiritual energy into sword energy and forcibly broke through the Foundation Establishment stage!" Bai Qing's tone was very surprised.
“Is there anything special about this form of breakthrough?”
"If the Foundation Establishment Pill is used to assist the breakthrough, the final Golden Pill stage will condense different grades of Golden Pill. From the ordinary Golden Pill to the ninth-grade Purple Pill, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is very different."
"And by condensing elixir with sword energy, what is finally formed is sword gall!"
