() After reading those sword classics, Li Ling picked two or three to practice with. Although the sword moves were good, Li Ling's goal was to be able to wield a sword.
"The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and you can just enjoy the great rivers and mountains." Li Ling lay on his back on the grass, with a lake in front of him.
However, this lake is the upstream section of Baishui Stream.
Just as he was enjoying the sunshine at noon, the faint trace on Li Ling's chest became more and more obvious.
"That bead." Li Ling took out the bead he took out from the Sword Demon's coffin from his chest.
The bead was all green, and there seemed to be a small insect swimming in it.
Li Ling looked carefully, but couldn't see what the bead's function was.
"Brother Li Ling, you are here. Why haven't you practiced sword practice?" Xie Qin suddenly appeared behind him, holding a bamboo basket in his hand.
Li Ling hurriedly put away the bead, turned around and said with a smile: "Xiao Qin, you don't know something. Although the sword moves in the sword canon are exquisite, I don't like them very much."
"Hehe, you're so weird. Others are vying to practice swordsmanship, but you don't like it." Xie Qin smiled beautifully.
"No, I just think that a high level of cultivation is more important than anything else. It's like a person who knows how to control a sword is stronger than anyone who knows how to use a sword. Even if he has practiced a powerful sword move, he will be more powerful than a person who can control the sword.
Even with swordsmanship, you will inevitably have your head chopped off." Li Ling said.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Indeed, cultivation is a problem. However, many people do not have the spiritual roots to achieve that kind of magical cultivation. Therefore, they can only settle for the second best and seek the ultimate in swordsmanship.
Breakthrough." Xie Qin said.
"Well, what you said makes sense." Li Ling smiled slightly.
As he said that, Xie Qin took out a plate from the bamboo basket. What was on the plate was a kind of snack, which was very beautiful in style.
"Brother Li Ling, try the snacks I made for you. These are steamed snacks wrapped in bamboo leaves. They are very delicious." Xie Qin tasted a delicious one himself.
Li Ling smiled slightly, took out a snack from the bamboo basket, and ate one. It tasted really good, with a faint fragrance of bamboo.
"Well, it's really delicious." Li Ling took out two more and ate them.
"It's delicious, just eat more." Xie Qin put the plate on the rock in front of him and smiled.
"Well...why didn't you send some to Tianxian?" Li Ling asked doubtfully.
"Forget it, Brother Tianxian is just a martial arts fanatic. He has been practicing the sword moves in the sword canon since the sun came out, and he hasn't stopped yet?" Xie Qin curled her lips and said.
"Oh... You can't blame him. After all, such an opportunity is rare." Li Ling said with a smile.
"It's such a rare opportunity, why don't you just ignore it and be carefree?" Xie Qin picked up a snack and fed it into Li Ling's mouth.
Li Ling felt a little embarrassed.
The two of them spent some time on the shore of the lake, and then went back together in the afternoon.
Back at Hidden Gold Pavilion, Xie Lu happened to come out of the house and coughed coldly when he saw Li Ling and Xie Qin together.
"Xie Qin...come here, don't be so close to other people."
When Xie Qin saw that it was his grandfather, he couldn't disobey him, so he glanced at Li Ling, said "Oh", and walked to Xie Lu's side.
"Didn't Grandpa tell you? You're not allowed to be so close to other men. Why don't you listen?" Xie Lu said angrily.
"Grandpa, Brother Li Ling is not someone else. He is here to refer to the sword canon." Xie Qin defended in a low voice, but his confidence was obviously lacking.
"Humph, it's not an outsider. Anyone other than grandpa is an outsider." Xie Lu glanced at Li Ling, his eyes full of warning.
Li Ling smiled bitterly, wondering what was wrong with this old man? He was so concerned about his granddaughter.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it next time," Xie Qin said.
"Well, come with me, I have something to tell you." Xie Lu took Xie Qin's hand and walked towards the back room.
Li Ling shook his head slightly and walked towards his wing.
Back in the wing, Li Ling looked at the ceiling with his pillow, and remembered the slightly warm green bead, so he took it out again. Li Ling saw again what the magical little insect in the center of the bead was.
"What on earth is this thing? It keeps swimming in the center of the bead." Li Ling muttered in his heart.
However, after observing for more than ten minutes, Li Ling was really tired, so he put the beads on his stomach and gradually fell asleep. In his dream, Li Ling dreamed that he was in a dark area with many rocks and trees.
Among the rocks and trees, there is a black dragon that only existed in ancient times floating.
"This dragon has horns and beards. It is really the dragon in ancient legends." Li Ling sighed slightly, the scene in his dream could be so real.
When he woke up again, it was night time. Li Ling picked up the green bead in his hand, and some information about the bead suddenly appeared in his mind.
"This bead was originally called the Dragon Spirit Bead. The reason why it is called the Dragon Spirit Bead is because back then, after the sword demon killed the black dragon, he sealed its spirit into this bead." Li Ling frowned.
Wrinkling slightly, he felt quite emotional.
"Back then, the sword demon fought the black dragon. It was such a great feat. I didn't know that dragons really existed in ancient times. It was really amazing." Li Ling wanted to admire the grace of the sword demon back then, but
The person has passed away.
"Brother Li Ling, it's dinner time." Xie Qin's crisp voice came from outside.
"Okay, I'll go eat right away." Li Ling put away the Dragon Spirit Pearl, opened the door, and followed Xie Qin to the kitchen.
Tianxian was back at this moment, rushing to the kitchen, his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered some problem.
During the meal, there were Xie Lu, Xie Qin, Tianxian and Li Ling.
The person who was least concentrating on eating was Tianxian. He was holding the bowl and thinking not about eating, but about the sword moves in the sword manual. Therefore, after eating for a long time, the bowl of rice remained untouched.
"Brother Tianxian, why don't you eat? Is it not delicious?" Xie Qin said.
Tianxian woke up in shock, shook his head sadly and said, "It's not that the food doesn't taste good, it's that I'm not in the mood to eat."
"What's wrong with you?" Li Ling asked.
"Hey, don't mention it. When I was practicing the sword moves in the Sword Code today, I couldn't understand them. Those moves didn't make any progress after practicing all afternoon." Tianxian sighed helplessly.
Li Ling could understand Tianxian's anxiety and knew that this opportunity was hard to come by. If he failed to master the sword canon, the spot would be in vain.
"Don't be anxious, take your time." Xie Qin comforted.
"Trash." Xie Lu snorted coldly. This old man never looks good to others.
"Ha, senior Xie Lu, senior Xie Lu must be a prodigy in martial arts. He will know the key points just by looking at the sword manual. Otherwise, senior brother Tianxian, you can give some pointers to Brother Tianxian so that he can understand them.
"Li Ling said with sarcasm.
"Huh, don't provoke me. I won't be fooled by you. If you can learn it, you can learn it. If you can't learn it, you will be the unlucky one. I've finished eating." Xie Lu put down the empty bowl and went out.
"Grandpa, please give some advice to Brother Tianxian." Xie Qin begged.
Xie Lu snorted coldly and left.
"It's okay. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. Maybe I can give you some advice." Li Ling patted Tianxian on the shoulder and smiled.
Tianxian knew that Li Ling was very advanced, and with his guidance, he could get twice the result with half the effort. He looked at Li Ling gratefully and said, "Thank you, Master Li Ling."
