Xuanyuan saw that he couldn't ask anything from Taoshu, so he picked up the bamboo sword with some helplessness.
"I don't think so much anymore!"
"Since Senior Brother gives you such an order, there must be a reason for it!"
"Peach tree, do you want to come together?!"
Facing Xuanyuan's invitation, Taoshu nodded without hesitation.
"Yeah!"
The two of them each took a bamboo sword and recalled together how Taoist Duobao drew his sword and put it away!
"Taoshu, senior brother was like this just now... like this?!"
"No, Senior Brother's hand is slightly higher than yours now!"
"Yes, that's almost it!"
Draw your sword, put your sword away!
…
For a whole day, Xuanyuan and Taoshu kept repeating this process!
…
Early the next morning, Xuanyuan didn't wait for Taoist Duobao to call him and got up first!
The main reason why he got up so early was because he was too hungry!
He is still a human, and he has been here for nearly two days without eating anything... and practiced sword drawing skills for another day during the day!
Are you not hungry?!
Let alone him, even if there was another person here, I'm afraid he would still be so hungry that his chest would touch his back.
When Taoist Duobao arrived, before he could ask Xuanyuan about his sword training results, Xuanyuan had already spoken first.
"Senior brother, I'm really hungry. Is there anything to eat? Give me some!"
Taoist Duobao was stunned!
Since he successfully transformed, he has never eaten food again. This is his first contact with humans, but he has forgotten that humans still need food.
After a slight hesitation, he flipped his right hand!
A spiritual fruit appeared in his hand. He handed it to Xuanyuan and ordered:
"have a bite!"
As Xuanyuan said, he took a bite, and after one bite, the spiritual power spread throughout his body. In an instant, he felt that he was full of strength and no longer felt any hunger!
"Give me!"
Xuanyuan was looking at the remaining spirit fruit with greed, and listening to Taoist Duobao's voice in his ear, he reluctantly handed the spirit fruit back.
Taoist Duobao put away the spiritual fruit and ordered without hesitation:
"Come!"
"Demonstrate your sword-drawing skills!"
Only then did Xuanyuan become serious. He pulled out the bamboo sword and put it away. The whole process simulated as much as possible the three sword-drawing techniques used by Taoist Duobao yesterday!
After he finished the demonstration, he saw Taoist Duobao shaking his head.
"I've demonstrated it three times today, so watch it!"
"First time!"
…
"Second time!"
…
"Third time!"
"Keep practicing, I will come again tomorrow at this time!"
After saying that, Taoist Duobao left again, and Taoshu dared to open the door, ran all the way, and came to the Xuanyuan family, and said with excitement:
"Senior Brother Xuanyuan, do you know what you just ate?!"
"That's the best acquired spiritual fruit..."
"We ordinary creatures, let alone eat them, even look at them, we usually have no chance to see them. Senior brother, you can actually eat them with your own mouth?!"
"How is the taste?!"
"What's the special feeling?!"
Compared to Taoshu's excitement, Xuanyuan was much calmer. He didn't care at all about the acquired spiritual fruit!
He also frowned at this time.
When Taoist Duobao was demonstrating the art of swordsmanship just now, he couldn't take his eyes off him and just stared at him to examine him carefully.
The result of this inspection made him particularly puzzled here.
Taoist Duobao drew his sword three times!
The method of drawing the sword seems to be a little different every time!
How can he learn from this?!
With this doubt, he also asked Peach Tree.
"Did you just see that?!"
"What did you see?! Did you eat the spirit fruit?! I saw it, I saw it!"
Taoshu and him are obviously not on the same channel.
Xuanyuan continued with some helplessness:
"I didn't talk about the fruit. I meant that the sword-drawing technique that senior brother just practiced three times was different every time. Did you notice it?!"
"Drawing swordsmanship?!"
Taoshu scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I really didn't pay attention to this. I was focused on the fruit you ate just now, and I ignored the sword-drawing skills practiced by senior brother. However, after practicing to the level of senior brother, his sword-drawing skills will definitely not be the same.
The deviation is correct."
"never mind!"
"Since you haven't seen it, it's useless to discuss this with you. I'd better continue to practice according to the sword-drawing technique that Senior Brother yesterday!"
Xuanyuan continued to practice.
…
The next year.
Every morning when Taoist Duobao arrives, he will give Xuanyuan a bite of spiritual fruit to ensure that he is full of energy throughout the day.
Then he will be asked to demonstrate his sword-drawing skills.
After shaking his head to express dissatisfaction as usual every day, he would demonstrate the sword-drawing technique to Xuanyuan three times, and then he would turn around and leave!
Where’s the peach tree!?
At this time, he will come to Xuanyuan's side and practice with him!
After this year of observation, Xuanyuan has completely determined one thing, that is, Taoist Duobao's method of drawing and sheathing the sword is different every time. What Taoist Duobao asked him to learn was not the sword-drawing technique.
method, but something else.
After confirming this, Xuanyuan worked hard every day to practice drawing and sheathing the sword!
Over the past year, this gesture of drawing and sheathing the sword has become a part of his body!
I have to draw and sheath my sword at least ten thousand times every day!
But even so, he still couldn't understand anything else from it. He could only draw and put away the sword endlessly every day!
Fortunately, Xuanyuan was not alone, and Taoshu was by his side.
The two encouraged each other and insisted on each other.
…
Time flows!
Gone in a hurry.
Three years!
…
Five years!
…
ten years!
In the past ten years, Xuanyuan didn't know how many swords he had drawn here and how many times he had practiced the sword-drawing technique. Even though the sword-drawing technique had become his body's instinct, he still didn't feel anything abnormal!
On this day, after Taoist Duobao left, Taoshu came to his courtyard as usual, and together with him, instinctively practiced the art of drawing swords!
Suddenly, after Xuanyuan's sword came out, he was stunned!
He asked the peach tree beside him:
"Taoshu, did you feel that the sword I just struck was a little different from usual?!"
"different?!"
Taoshu said a little strangely:
"What's the difference?! I didn't feel it! Come here again and I'll take a good look!"
"Um!"
Xuanyuan drew his sword again and put it away. With his full mental attention, he found that when his bamboo sword broke through the air, the invisible air in front of the bamboo sword seemed to tremble a little!
It seemed as if something had been cut open by him!
"Did you see it?! Did you see it?!"
He shouted excitedly!
Taoshu still looked confused.
"What?! It's no different from what you were before!"
