Chapter 180 The mysterious old man who practiced swords
Xu Ran has now reached the second level of Yuqing Realm. The spiritual power contained in his body is enough to allow him to fly with a sword, but he can't fly yet, so when he is practicing, he injects spiritual power into the Qingfeng Sword to cultivate it.
Green Wind Sword.
Cultivating a natal magic weapon is an extremely labor-intensive matter. It requires more than just infusing spiritual power. It requires the owner of the magic weapon to cultivate it with spirit and effort.
Every morning and evening, Xu Ran would come to the top of Tongtian Peak to practice. This place almost became his private place. Xiao Yicai had almost left the army and had his own cave.
Ordinary disciples are not qualified to come here to practice.
Therefore, when Daoxuan didn't come, Xu Ran was the only one. But that night, Xu Ran saw someone on the top of Tongtian Peak.
He is an old man with white hair and looks very old.
The old man carries a sword behind his back, like a sword fairy, with a faint fairy aura on his body.
When Xu Ran was practicing, the old man was practicing his sword next to him. When the old man was practicing his sword, his figure was ethereal, changing shapes, and the sword light flickered.
Not only is it powerful, but it is also graceful.
The old man only waved once each time, and then disappeared quickly. The disappearance was so fast that with Xu Ran's current eyesight, he still couldn't catch the other party's disappearance trajectory.
Xu Ran came to the place where the opponent was practicing swordsmanship, and immediately struck his tongue. There were sword marks all over the smooth stones on the ground, which were as deep as three inches. This was certainly not what shocked Xu Ran.
What shocked Xu Ran was that every time the old man came to practice sword practice, his sword never touched the ground. From this, he could judge that the criss-crossing sword marks on the ground were all caused by sword energy.
The sword dance does not touch the stone, but it can leave so many sword marks on the stone. It can be imagined that the opponent is either a terrifyingly advanced person, or that the opponent is using a powerful sword technique.
However, Xu Ran felt that it was the latter, and the other party should be using a powerful sword technique.
For the next month, Xu Ran practiced as usual, and then cultivated the Qingfeng Sword. The mysterious old man did not appear every day, but only appeared every now and then at night, practiced a set of sword skills, and then disappeared mysteriously.
After watching more, Xu Ran realized how terrifying the old man's sword skills were. When the opponent danced the sword, not only did the sword shine with sword light, but he was also surrounded by sword energy.
The speed of swinging the sword is very fast, and several sword rays appear every second. These sword rays can either be combined into one sword ray, bursting out super high damage, or they can be split into countless sword rays, causing large-scale damage.
The old man was in a state of trance with his sword, reaching a state of ecstasy, as if the man and sword were one, and the sword moved with his heart. Although the move was single, it was fast and powerful at first glance.
Every time the old man came to practice his sword, Xu Ran would put down his practice and watch the opponent's sword-dancing posture with all his attention, thinking to himself.
Could it be that the swordsmanship used by this old man is one of the four true arts of Qingyun Sect? Perhaps only one of the four true arts of Qingyun Sect can exert such great power.
This old man's spiritual practice is extremely profound. It is estimated that only the first of the Qingyun Sect's seven branches can compare with him, and certainly not the six firsts except Daoxuan.
Because they have a cave, why bother to come to the top of Tongtian Peak to practice swordsmanship.
That night, Xu Ran still saw the old man. After he had practiced a set of sword skills, he was about to leave. Xu Ran couldn't help but shout: "Hey, old man... uh, old man, wait a minute."
The white-haired old man stopped and turned his head to look at Xu Ran. After a long time, he said lightly: "Didn't Daoxuan teach you how to respect your seniors?"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the tone of the white-haired old man, because he had just heard Xu Ran call him an old man. After all, he was also a very senior member of the Qingyun Sect.
Now that I am called an old man by a junior, I would be lying if I said I am not angry.
"Well, I'm different from others in this way," Xu Ran said while touching his nose, with a slight embarrassment on his face.
"What's the difference? Do you think that because you are talented and practice quickly, you can ignore the sect's rules and disrespect your seniors?" the white-haired old man said in a cold tone.
"Of course not. Others respect their seniors only with their mouths. Who knows if they respect their seniors in their hearts. Although I don't seem to respect you on my lips, I respect you from the bottom of my heart." Xu Ran gave it to her calmly.
Got a high hat.
"Exalted people like our seniors are role models for our generation, role models for us to learn from, and guiding lights for our juniors. My admiration for my seniors is like a torrential river that stretches endlessly, and like the Yellow River that overflows and cannot be stopped.
tidy"
"You just said that you respect your seniors from the bottom of your heart and don't show off with words. Why are you talking so much flattery now?" the old man in white said with a strange expression.
"Well, this, this should be because the radiance of senior's body influenced me and made me speak out what was in my heart," Xu Ran said.
"Flattery," the old man in white snorted coldly.
Then he jumped vertically and horizontally, flew with his sword, and floated away. Soon, the figure of the old man in white disappeared into the vast white mist, disappearing like an immortal.
After the old man in white left, Xu Ran smiled bitterly. It seemed that he had left a bad impression in the other person's mind.
It seems that trying to learn the swordsmanship in the opponent's hands is a fool's errand.
In the next period of time, the old man in white didn't appear again, but he was able to demonstrate the sword skills practiced by the other party in a decent manner.
However, it had no power, and the Qingfeng Sword did not emit any sword energy.
It only has its appearance but no charm.
Moreover, Xu Ran still used his spiritual power to infuse the Qingfeng Sword into swinging, but he was unable to exert its power at all. It seemed that he needed to learn the true power of the sword.
Not only do you need to memorize various sword techniques and infuse the sword with spiritual power, but most importantly, you need the assistance of sword techniques.
Without the sword formula, it can only be regarded as a trick.
If those powerful sword techniques and sword techniques can be learned just from their appearance, then wouldn't everyone be able to learn them?
Although the old man in white did not appear, Xu Ran finally had a slight connection with the Qingfeng Sword after cultivating it for a long time.
This feeling is very strange. It is as if Qingfeng Sword has a hint of spiritual intelligence and he can control Qingfeng Sword in his heart. This may be the so-called spiritual connection.
Xu Ran performed the formula with one hand and silently recited the sword flying formula in his mind for assistance.
Buzz!
The Qingfeng Sword seemed to feel the call of its master. It was suspended in balance in front of Xu Ran, and then the Qingfeng Sword more than doubled in size.
Of course, the Qingfeng Sword did not really become bigger, but the virtual Qingfeng Sword body simulated by Xu Ran with his spiritual power was only virtual and not real.
But it is as hard as the solid body and can be stepped on.
Otherwise, how could the Qingfeng Sword be able to stand upright based on its blade width of only about two inches.
