Chapter 231 Borrowing the treasure to realize the Tao
Qi Yuan was wrapped in a flame and flew back from the island.
Outside the cave, as soon as he lowered his escape light, he saw Bixiao holding the golden scissors again, pruning the exotic flowers and plants in front of the cave.
Qi Yuan has seen Master Bixiao like to use scissors to trim flowers and plants more than once when he is bored.
It's just a pity that this acquired treasure has been reduced to pruning flowers and grass.
Qi Yuan looked at the golden scissors in Bixiao's hand and couldn't help but sigh, his heart filled with envy.
If I had a few spiritual treasures with me, I might show them off from time to time.
Bi Xiao raised her head and glanced at him, and seeing his listless look, she couldn't help but chuckle: "What's wrong, why are you sighing like this?"
Since you are in a restless mood, don’t retreat for a while, take some time to relax, follow my uncle’s example, find something to do to pass the time, and your mood will gradually calm down.”
She kept moving her hands, still pruning the flowers and grass. The golden dragon shears in her hands were extremely sharp, and often the complicated branches and leaves would be cut off by the sharp breath of the golden dragon shears before they even landed on the branches and leaves.
"I see that your aura is unstable, maybe you are fighting with someone."
Bixiao paused for a moment, a little curious: "There are still people who dare to attack you near Jin'ao Island, how brave are you?
Have you ever suffered a loss and need me to teach you a lesson for you, uncle?"
Qi Yuan was moved after hearing this.
Although this uncle is a bit informal in his daily life, his temperament is extremely forthright, and he is also quite protective of his shortcomings. He takes good care of him and the juniors below him.
If Master Zhao Gongming knew that he was fighting with others, he might first understand the situation clearly before making any plans.
Bixiao, on the other hand, didn't even ask who the other party was and stood on his side without hesitation.
Although he seems to be too biased towards his own people, Qi Yuan said that he likes to have such elders protecting him.
"Thank you, uncle, but there is no need to trouble uncle to take action."
Qi Yuan watched Bixiao pruning the branches and leaves, and said absently: "I went to sea to relax, met a dragon, and had some disputes. It was nothing at the time, but then I met again..."
He originally wanted to tell Bixiao about his encounter with Taoist Zhunti, the second leader of the Western Sect. After all, it was not a trivial matter for this Hunyuan Saint to come to Kyushu.
However, as he spoke, his words became slower and softer, and he gradually stopped, staring blankly at Bixiao's movements.
Bixiao Jade's hands were slender and slender. She held the golden dragon scissors and waved them gently a few times, pruning several exotic flowers beautifully.
However, Qi Yuan did not pay attention to those flowers and plants. His mind was unknowingly attracted by the golden dragon scissors.
Or perhaps, the sharp and killing aura on the golden dragon's shear attracted his attention.
Even if the power of this killing treasure has not been activated by Bixiao, with its own sharp aura, it is easy to trim the grass and trees.
Even though these plants and trees are at least exotic flowers and plants that have grown for hundreds of thousands of years, some of them have become precious species of the climate and have grown for thousands of years. Each branch and leaf is tough. If you want to prune them with a magic weapon,
, it will definitely take a lot of effort.
However, when faced with the golden dragon pruners, the tough branches on these plants are no different from those flowers and plants that have no aura at all.
The golden dragon scissors opened and closed slightly with Bixiao's white and jade-like palms. On the sharp blade, the invisible edge gently slid across the branches and leaves, cutting them into two sections.
Qi Yuan was stunned.
His eyes were firmly fixed on the golden scissors, staring blankly at the invisible energy on the golden scissors.
During this period of time, he had been in seclusion for a long time, struggling to understand the way of swordsmanship but could not master it. The most important thing was that he had never had a similar way before, so he lacked a reference and did not know where to start.
But now, when he looked at the sharp aura on the golden dragon shears, he suddenly realized something.
If he wants to master the art of swordsmanship, isn't it the feeling of being sharp that he pursues?
At this moment, Qi Yuan seemed to have a flash of lightning in his heart, making him realize something.
What is swordsmanship?
Only those who can break all laws with one sword are called sword cultivators.
Why are swordsmen monks so much stronger than ordinary Qi practitioners in terms of combat power?
Is it the flying sword that their lives were linked to?
No!
Not really!
In the final analysis, any sword is just a type of weapon.
Aren't those advanced Qi Refiners also using various fairy swords as weapons? Their attack power is not that much stronger than other Qi Refiners.
The main reason why sword cultivators can stand out from ordinary Qigong practitioners is because of the unparalleled sharp sword essence in their bodies!
Since it is called sword cultivation, the mana in the body should be converted into sword essence.
Otherwise, there is no difference between him and other Qi practitioners, and he cannot be considered a qualified sword cultivator.
Only the sharp sword essence can embody the tyrannical killing power of the sword cultivator.
Although the mana in his body is relatively strong, it doesn't have any sharp aura.
If there is no sword energy in the body, of course one cannot practice swordsmanship.
Bixiao was pruning the flowers and plants while listening to Qi Yuan's words.
As a result, Qi Yuan actually stopped talking as he listened.
She suddenly looked up strangely and asked, "Who did you meet again..."
Before she finished speaking, she was also stunned.
Because, she unexpectedly found that her nephew's eyes were dull and he was staring at the golden dragon shears in his hand.
It's not that he was greedy for this magic weapon, but he fell into a state of enlightenment.
This state is very rare. Qi Yuan himself is at the peak of the Void Refining Realm, and he is just one step away from becoming an immortal.
If she can take this opportunity to understand her own path, it can be said that her nephew will be able to achieve immortality and enjoy immortality in just a few years.
So after Bixiao discovered this, he immediately kept silent for fear of interrupting Qi Yuan's current state of enlightenment.
However, what makes her a little strange is how could this nephew enter such a state facing the golden dragon scissors?
Hasn't he seen this spiritual treasure before?
After a while, Qi Yuan came to his senses. He looked at Bixiao excitedly: "Uncle, I just saw that you have gained some understanding by using the golden dragon shears. I want to go into seclusion for a while. I wonder if uncle can cut the golden dragon."
Lend it to me?"
"Here, take it."
Bixiao simply moved her slender hand forward and handed the golden scissors to him. She said with a bit of teasing in her tone: "If I had known that you could enlighten by staring at the golden scissors, I would have had to give him the golden scissors."
If you lock yourself in a cave and stare at it every day, why would you need my elder brother to preach to you so hard?"
"Thank you, uncle."
Qi Yuan reached out to take the golden scissors, suppressing the joy in his heart, thanked him, and turned around to return to the cave for retreat.
He planned to strike while the iron was hot, and while the insights in his heart were still there, he might soon be able to gain a concrete understanding of the sword cultivation method.
"No hurries?"
Bixiao rolled her eyes at him: "The golden dragon scissors are the ultimate treasure for hunting. With your level of cultivation, if you are not careful, you will be killed by it.
Come here, I will teach you the secrets of using the Imperial Golden Dragon Scissors to prevent you from accidentally hurting yourself."
Qi Yuan giggled twice and scratched his head with his hand, feeling quite embarrassed.
He was also impatient and forgot about this.
However, he was quite moved by how easily Bixiao taught him the secrets of the Royal Envoy Golden Dragon Scissors.
After all, this is an acquired killing treasure, and it is one of the few treasures in the entire Three Realms. In terms of attack power, it is more powerful than many innate spiritual treasures.
But now, she just said it was taught to her.
Although it is definitely impossible for Qi Yuan to covet the spiritual treasures of his elders, he is still very grateful to Bi Xiao for trusting him so much.
After he memorized the secrets of the Royal Envoy Jin Jiaojian, he couldn't wait to return to the stone room where he was retreating to study the art of swordsmanship.
Bixiao looked at his leaving figure and couldn't help but chuckle.
In fact, it is not uncommon in the world of spiritual practice for people like Qi Yuan to suddenly fall into a state of enlightenment due to some things.
Many people are like this. They often work hard for many years in retreat and meditate, but in the end they get nothing and instead make themselves restless.
As a result, some people are not in retreat and often travel outside, but they can accidentally fall into enlightenment because of some things.
However, this kind of thing is still relatively in the minority.
It relies more on years of practice and insights, as well as the experience gradually accumulated when discussing Taoism with fellow practitioners and friends, and slowly figured out some truths.
Bixiao turned around and turned into a ray of light and left.
The golden scissors had been lent to Qi Yuan, so she no longer had the interest to continue pruning these flowers and plants.
I happened to hear the little girl He Ling'er in the bamboo forest behind, pulling Qi Yi to make delicious food for her, so I just went over and joined in the fun.
Because Qi Yuan was in seclusion, she hadn't eaten Qi Yuan's delicious food for a while, but recently, that little guy Qi Yi was good at his craftsmanship. Although he was not as good as Qi Yuan, he was already very good.
…………
In the stone chamber, Qi Yuan sat cross-legged, with the golden dragon scissors floating quietly in front of him.
When there is no mana to activate it, there is no breath coming out of this spiritual treasure, and the overall look is like an exquisite and beautiful ordinary scissors, and there seems to be no danger at all.
However, as long as Qi Yuan inputs a little bit of mana into it, a sharp edge will appear on the golden dragon shears.
That feeling, as if just one glance can penetrate into the depths of a person's soul and cut him into two pieces at any time.
When he brought his consciousness into contact with this sharp edge, he instinctively felt a huge sense of crisis.
This is the most original murderous intention contained in the golden dragon shears!
Although there was only a little bit of it exposed, just this faint murderous intention made Qi Yuan feel the danger that penetrated deep into his bones. As long as this murderous intent touched his body, he would definitely be wiped out of all the vitality in his body.
After all, his strength is too weak compared to this spiritual treasure.
But what he wants to do now is to get in touch with this aura, in order to understand some of the principles of killing from it, and thus understand the cultivation method of the sword cultivation lineage.
This is a trick he came up with.
Likewise, this is also a way to commit suicide.
The level of Golden Dragon Scissors is still too high.
Fortunately, he can control the Golden Dragon Scissors now. Otherwise, if he rashly comprehends the murderous aura on the Golden Dragon Scissors, his soul will never even have a chance to be reincarnated, and it will be destroyed by the murderous intent on the Golden Dragon Scissors.
