Chapter 35: Slashing the water with the sword(1/2)
"I didn't expect that this medicinal wine would also have an effect on this eagle. I also want to take it to the demon realm one day and ask Hua Tianyu for some demon beast training techniques for it."
Li Xiuyuan thought of the jade pendant that Hua Tianyu gave him, and thought about when he would take Qingying to the Demon Realm. The Shura Realm was so big, he always had to go out for a walk.
Before his journey of thousands of miles had even begun, he was interrupted by a group of bandits.
Later, after walking a short distance of ten thousand miles, Jun Yuanyou interrupted again.
When he thought of Jun Wuyou, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but glance at his left leg, which had returned to its original state. He didn't know whether it was the golden talisman in his body that had an effect, or the blood of the golden python.
The Master also has a golden inner elixir in his hand, and he said that he would refine it for him in the summer.
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but get a little excited when he thought about the inner elixir. He thought that at the beginning he had no knowledge and could not practice. Unexpectedly, after practicing for more than a year, he would break through to the realm of the golden elixir, just like a dream.
The master told him that with Li Xiuyuan's physique, if he refined this inner elixir of distraction realm, he would be able to break through at least two to three realms.
In this way, when he returns to the academy in the fall, he will be a practitioner in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.
If I practice hard for another two years, I guess it won't be a problem to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan really doubted whether he was the reincarnation of a god in the sky. Because the Master said that it would take at least ten years for the talented students in the academy to gather their Qi and build their foundation.
And how long have you been practicing?
Could it be because of the golden talisman inside the body, the thing that Jun Wuyou calls a divine talisman?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Li Xiuyuan shook his head and decided not to think about these things for the time being.
After all, Master said that he would find another training method for him next. He didn't know what method Chunzi had found to abuse him.
Even the eagle seemed to enjoy watching himself being abused.
...
It wasn't until there was a heavy rain in the mountains that Li Xiuyuan understood what he was told to change his practice method.
The master and apprentice led Qing Ying up the mountain stream for half an hour, and saw a waterfall hanging like a yellow anaconda in the mountain stream.
The rumbling sound brought up water mist in the sky and spread.
The master stood in the open space below the waterfall, Li Xiuyuan stared at it dumbfounded, and Qingying screamed excitedly.
"Have you seen this waterfall?" The master smiled faintly and pointed to the rumbling waterfall behind. The rushing water hit the rocks below with great force, splashing mist all over the sky.
"From today on, you will practice under this waterfall. You can use your body's true energy to resist the impact of the waterfall, and the iron sword in your hand can also be used for practice."
"Ah? This..."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned. He was practicing under that waterfall? With such a terrifying impact, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for a moment, right?
"Practice well while there is enough rain in the summer. If you can't even do this, I think you should stop thinking about walking in the Shura Realm and just stay in the academy!" The Master said in a deep voice.
"Okay...I'll try!"
Li Xiuyuan responded helplessly.
"If you don't have enough physical strength, just quit temporarily. After you regain your physical strength, you can continue to practice!" Master smiled.
"All right!"
"Let's get started! What are you waiting for?" Master waved his hand.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at Qingying, then gritted his teeth, and the body that circulated his true energy swept out, passing over the wide river in the mountain stream, and finally landed at the bottom of the waterfall.
"Boom!"
Just when he fell under the waterfall, before he could stand still, he was directly rushed into the pool by the strong impact, and instantly became a drowned rat.
Li Xiuyuan climbed up from the pool, took a deep breath, resisted the impact of the water flow, and tried to stand firmly on the rock. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain caused by the impact of the torrent.
Qingying looked at Li Xiuyuan under the waterfall and secretly smacked his tongue. Even he didn't dare to try this kind of training intensity.
"Xiu Yuan!"
The Master looked at Li Xiuyuan, his heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
"Where is your place of cultivation?" Master pointed his finger to the top of the waterfall.
Li Xiuyuan looked at it, and his scalp suddenly felt a little numb. He saw the waterfall there pouring down from a high place without any hindrance. Standing below it, he probably wouldn't be able to support it for half a moment.
Under the waterfall, there seem to be several stone pillars of different sizes standing.
"If you want to succeed in practicing swordsmanship, it's very simple. As long as you can walk back and forth on the stone pillar, prevent the mountain torrent from rushing down, and still swing your sword to attack." Master said loudly.
"What?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and walked back and forth between the stone pillars without letting the flash flood wash away him. Is this possible?
"These waterfalls are not continuous. Stop being lazy. I will let Ying'er stay with you here."
After the master finished speaking, he turned around and muttered a few words to Qingying, then walked back with his hands behind his back.
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly, this is really difficult. Although it is a good way to practice.
"You only have one summer, and after the season has passed, you will have to wait for another year. Don't waste the time you have now!" The master said slowly, and his voice came from far away.
Li Xiuyuan's scalp felt numb again. The rapid water rushing down from the mountain torrent must be so powerful?
And the speed is so fast, as long as you are distracted for a moment, you will be rushed into the pool. This not only requires absolute endurance, but also requires absolute speed when drawing the sword.
"Chirp!" Qingying yelled several times to remind him not to be lazy.
"Don't rush me, why don't you give it a try?" Li Xiuyuan took a deep breath, looked back at Qingying and shouted.
Li Xiuyuan didn't hesitate at all, and with a movement of his body, he rushed into the fierce waterfall like a flying swallow, and then landed on a narrow stone pillar.
Boom!
The powerful current rushed down hard, and Li Xiuyuan exerted force on his feet, trying to stand more firmly.
"Bang!"
As soon as his body stood firm, a powerful current rushed down, instantly rushing him into the pool below. He underestimated the speed of the water here.
Li Xiuyuan spit out the water in his mouth and slapped the water with his palm. He jumped onto a stone pillar again, his expression became completely solemn, and he was running the golden elixir realm's true energy to resist the impact of the water flow.
At the beginning, he obviously had to use his true energy to protect his body, and then he could gradually adapt to it.
Concentrating fully, he stabilized his body in the water flow again, and held the iron sword in his hand.
Just when he was about to slash out with his sword, he felt a strange sound in the water flow. When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black shadow striking hard along the water flow.
Those are branches mixed in the water flow.
Li Xiuyuan grabbed the iron sword and slashed it out tenaciously in the next moment.
I saw the iron sword stir up layers of water vapor, and when the black shadow flashed across the front, it stabbed hard on the edge.
After all, the iron sword's performance in the water was not that of the shore. His sword missed the target. Although the branch did not hit his head, it still scared him. There was danger here!
Although he missed the target, he finally knocked out the branch in the torrent, but the collision made him feel as if the bones in his arm were about to shatter.
"Boom!"
Just because of this distraction, the waterfall poured down again, directly knocking Li Xiuyuan into the pond.
"Damn it!"
Li Xiuyuan popped his head out of the pool and cursed fiercely. He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, turned over again, and rushed into the torrent again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Under the waterfall, a figure kept rushing out, and was kept being mercilessly rushed into the deep pool by the water. The powerful force made him dizzy.
However, Li Xiuyuan was stubborn. He endured the pain all over his body, gritted his teeth and rushed out, constantly increasing his speed.
Although the Master was not there, there was an eagle watching him on the shore, and he could not let an eagle underestimate him.
"Tweet!" I don't know whether Qingying is cheering him on or despising him.
Although he occasionally withstood the impact of the torrent again and again, the branches that flowed down the current tortured his entire body.
On the distant mountain stream, the master stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the figure under the waterfall, who looked particularly embarrassed, with a calm expression.
If you want to succeed, you have to endure hardship.
For a whole day, Li Xiuyuan tirelessly shuttled and jumped under the waterfall. During this period, even Qing Ying was bored and fell asleep lying on the shore, but he did not stop his masochistic practice at all.
When the sun went down, Li Xiuyuan dragged his exhausted body ashore. His face turned pale from exhaustion, and he slumped on the ground without hesitation, gasping for air.
Qingying came over and rubbed his shoulder to express comfort.
"Let's go back...eat more barbecue tonight...to regain our strength." Li Xiuyuan supported Qingying's body and stood up, staggering towards the mountain stream.
...
Sitting in front of the fire under the tree in the cabin, Li Xiuyuan was still shaking all over.
Seeing this, the Master asked: "Did something go wrong during today's practice?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and replied: "It's okay, it's okay! I can hold on!"
"That's it. Have a good rest tonight and continue tomorrow." The master looked at him with a satisfied smile.
Practicing has always meant being tough on yourself. After all, practicing is a very personal matter, and others can’t exert much effort. Li Xiuyuan also understands this, but it’s just too physically demanding.
