Chapter 3184 Sword Drawing Technique

"Teacher, your body's energy and blood haven't fully recovered yet..."

"I don't need your comforting!"

He injured Zhang Xuezhou with a divine weapon, but in the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuezhou's injuries had healed.

Watching Zhang Xuezhou step out of the mansion, Wei Shao'er felt terrible.

No matter who has exhausted their wealth and endured countless hardships to break through obstacles, hoping to achieve great things, Wei Shao'er felt that no one could be happy about this outcome.

She felt that her abilities shouldn't be that weak, but she needed to accept the reality.

Without the Fish Gut Sword, Wei Shao'er felt it would be very difficult to injure Zhang Xuezhou using swordsmanship.

“Lord Dongfang’s body-strengthening technique is extremely powerful; only the Sword Drawing Technique could possibly break through it,” Liu Xuan said. “But you probably don’t need to break through his defensive techniques, do you?”

"What sword-drawing technique?" Wei Shao'er asked warily.

"The sword technique of drawing the sword varies from person to person. The key lies in drawing power," Liu Xuan said solemnly. "For example, if you are in a place with a strong magnetic field, you can draw the magnetic force to the sword to boost your strength and defeat your opponent. Or, if you are in a dark place, you can draw the corrosive energy to attack your opponent. Various methods of drawing power will be adapted to the local conditions!"

"Why do you make it sound like this is even more powerful than divine sword techniques?" Wei Shao'er asked疑惑地, "Why didn't you tell me about this sword-drawing technique before?"

“Supernatural powers and sword-drawing techniques are not contradictory,” Liu Xuan said. “Sword-drawing techniques are only an auxiliary method. With sword-drawing techniques, one can be more powerful by adapting to circumstances. Without sword-drawing techniques, one is not necessarily worse off. Moreover, sword-drawing techniques have very serious drawbacks. The consequences of cultivating them are unbearable!”

"What potential problems?" Wei Shao'er asked anxiously.

"If you want to draw upon power, you must be able to withstand it. To harm the enemy, you will first harm yourself. Not to mention harming others, some swordsmen have been injured because of this during their training!"

"Why are all the techniques you passed down flawed, with one problem after another? Isn't there any that are both effective and safe?"

"Isn't this how all techniques work?"

Liu Xuan explained, and looking at the furious Wei Shao'er, his memory became somewhat hazy.

He vaguely remembered asking the same question to the Qin Emperor.

There are no perfect people, and therefore no perfect techniques.

A hero recognized by the Han Dynasty might be cursed and vehemently reviled by enemy states.

The arts of magic capture the mysteries of heaven and earth; where there is abundance, there must be corresponding deficiency. To reach the ultimate, there must be sacrifices, and these sacrifices ultimately become drawbacks.

The Qin Dynasty pursued many ultimate techniques, each with the potential to reverse the course of events, but each technique could also be countered by a blood-based counter.

No swordsman would pursue mediocre swordsmanship; they would seek dangerous and deadly means of combat.

The Qin people's pursuit was not wrong; the more important thing was whether they were suited to this art.

Liu Xuan felt that Wei Shao'er, who was skilled at using terrain to ambush and assassinate, had the basic conditions to learn. If Wei Shao'er found it difficult to understand, he would not teach him, lest Wei Shao'er hurt himself.

"Fine, I'll reluctantly learn it. Once I've mastered it, I'll show off my skills to Dongfang Shuo and actually do some work for him. That way, he'll treat me better!"

Wei Shao'er's initial anger eventually turned into a carefree attitude, and she also accepted the side effects of the technique mentioned by Liu Xuan.

Although dissatisfied, Wei Shao'er still seemed to really want to make a name for herself, instead of feeling frustrated and wanting to cry after breaking through her current limitations.

"Don't push yourself too hard, academically..."

"Stop lecturing me, just teach me! Once I learn, I'll take you to play the 'Shooting the Scroll' game. You can spend as much money as you want!"

“Okay!” Liu Xuan nodded in agreement.

Wei Shao'er has a bad temper and is violent, but he has one good point: he is willing to spend money.

Wei Shao'er could earn ten strings of cash by singing in the brothel at night and spend it all during the day. Liu Xuan had never seen a woman who could earn and spend money so well.

Nine out of ten people lose at guessing games, so it's almost impossible to get rich through guessing games. Liu Xuan wasn't very interested in money, but he was very interested in the items hidden in guessing games.

When the Qin Dynasty collapsed, Xianyang was burned to the ground, and everything was destroyed, leaving almost no trace of the past.

Some of these relics can still be found in underground casinos in Chang'an.

Some of these hidden objects are very valuable. For example, the altar guided by Liu Xuan's sacrifice is among them. He used it to restore the altar of the Qin Dynasty to worship heaven and earth. He even used Wei Shao'er to verify that the altar could function properly.

This is related to the assistance he receives as his cultivation level continues to rise, and it is extremely important to Liu Xuan.

However, Liu Xuan had not found the most important treasure in his heart, so he could only keep trying to win back all the guessing games involving ancient objects.

These underground casinos have been operating for a long time, and countless gamblers who lost money in the gambling game have continuously used antiques as collateral. The time span involved is nearly a century, which is far greater than the efforts he made in his personal search.

"Even my second brother, with his intelligence, couldn't protect the vast empire of Qin!"

Ordinary items are of little use, but the heavy objects on Qin Er Shi's body are extremely important.

Ordinary people find it difficult to recognize treasures, nor can they use them, but Liu Xuan has the means to open and use them, which will bring him endless assistance and may allow him to recover 50% of his former strength.

If he could find the treasure used by Qin Er Shi to suppress the evil spirits, Liu Xuan felt that his body would surely be stabilized, thus returning to its original state.

If he could also obtain the Nascent Soul transformation technique from Zhang Xuezhou and others' Qi Refining methods, it wouldn't be surprising if his strength surpassed his past self.

"I wonder where the Suihou Pearl that Father Emperor gave to my second brother went?"

The thought crossed his mind, and only after being urged by Wei Shao'er did he force a smile and nod repeatedly.

"I'm trying really hard to memorize it right away. This ancient technique is very complicated, and it's different from how we speak today. It's very difficult for me to memorize it!"

"Then hurry up and think about it. I'll go practice my voice first and try to earn more money when I sing. Once we have money, we'll use the money to play the divination game and win back that antique you've got your eye on!"

"it is good!"

Liu Xuan nodded in agreement, while Wei Shao'er took a deep breath and ran to the shade of a tree to practice her singing.

It must be said that the sound you hear when practicing your voice and the sound you hear when you're busking are two completely different things.

Liu Xuan felt that these days were difficult to endure, but he had to rely on Wei Shao'er and others.

"I wonder if the Han Dynasty can hold out a little longer. If it can draw all the holy realms of the Three Realms into the fray, it might be able to defeat the enemy in one battle. Demons like Zhu Jiuyin will surely be killed. Then Father Emperor can lead us to pursue the path to immortality in peace, right?"

While in his residence, Liu Xuan also heard some information about the current state of the imperial court, and learned that the Han Dynasty and the Xiong Kingdom of Beiju Luzhou had broken off relations.

He also overheard Zhang Xuezhou and others' private transactions with the cultivators from the Xiong Kingdom.

The Xiong Kingdom coveted the Han Dynasty's methods of alchemy, while the Han Dynasty coveted the Xiong Kingdom's essential medicinal materials. Both sides had their own calculations, and once their schemes were achieved, their true intentions would inevitably be revealed.

Liu Xuan hoped that the Han Dynasty could stand firm and resist until all the major forces in the Three Realms got involved.

That might be the best opportunity to unleash the Qin Iron Legion, thereby wiping out the hidden forces that were orchestrating the conflict in the Three Realms.
