From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 34: Sword Immortal's Legacy
Li Yang calmed his mind and cleared his mind.

As Li Yang expected, after the spiritual energy circulated again, the white stream at his lower abdomen rushed out of his body and circled around the moonlight.

That night, the moonlight was shining brightly on Baiyun Mountain. A white silk thread was floating above the mountain top. The moonlight in the sky was absorbed by the white silk thread. The spiritual energy in Li Yang's body was running wildly at an unprecedented speed and path.

At some point, the wind started blowing.

Li Yang's hair was stuck to his forehead. A melodious bell sound came from the Baiyun Temple not far away. The shadows of the clouds were swaying, and the leaves in the forest were rustling.

In a moment, Li Yang's right hand drew a line in the air, and the white silk spun around, crystal clear. A weapon like moonlight appeared out of thin air in his palm, and as Li Yang's mind flowed, it circled around him, flashing a breathtaking cold light.

[Jade Toad Qi-Eating Method: Level 1 (500/1000), unlocked status: Controlling Objects, Sword Technique]

Li Yang's heart moved, and many ancient seal characters were forcefully stuffed into his mind by the system.

"On the fifteenth and sixteenth of every month, lie on your back facing the moon, and connect my sword spirit with the moon spirit. First, focus your eyes and gaze at the moonlight, the cold light will disperse the frost and snow... Hurry back to the warm room, and gently move your qi and blood. The above two stages of skills are the fundamental secrets of the sword immortal."

Li Yang was overjoyed that the newly awakened "sword technique" turned out to be the sword-refining method of an ancient swordsman from Shuchuan.

According to the magic formula, the ancient sword immortals of Shuchuan are divided into two factions: the magic sword and the divine sword.

The magic sword is a sword outside the body, which tells the story of finding rare and precious iron to forge a flying sword of one's own destiny, and sharing weal and woe with the other.
The divine sword is a sword within the body. It focuses on the internal Qi of the lungs and nurtures the sword Qi by harmonizing the essence, energy and spirit in the body.

This article is about the sword tactics that the founder of "Yuchan's Qi Eating Method" discovered by adopting the strengths of both schools. It is divided into nine levels, three steps of internal training and six steps of external training. The internal training includes three steps of gathering Qi, refining Qi and nourishing Qi. Only after the internal training is completed can the last six steps of external training be initiated.

Li Yang had a vague understanding that as early as when he was at the Yang family, the white silk had already possessed some of the aura of the legendary sword immortal. He did not expect that it was actually a preparation for this sword technique.

Li Yang summoned the strange weapon that was flashing white light to his fingertips again. According to the sword formula, this was his innate sword energy that he cultivated by drawing the essence of the moon soul.

Qi is different from Qi. Spiritual energy is neutral and has no attributes.

Qi has attributes. Mountains have mountain Qi, the moon has moon Qi, and the sun has sun Qi.

His innate sword energy was cultivated by gathering moon energy, so it seemed extremely light and agile. It emitted clear light in his palm, constantly attracting the moonlight.

Li Yang threw the sword energy upwards, and the sword energy turned into clear light and rotated to absorb the moonlight, starting the first step of the three-step internal cultivation, "Gathering Qi".

Li Yang himself is extremely compatible with the root method of Yuchan eating Qi. With the help of the Xuanwu blood nourishing formation set up by Xue Ruyi, the speed of practicing this sword technique is unexpectedly fast.

The same was true for the practice of sword techniques. There was no progress during the day, but when the moon came out at night, the speed of practice became extremely rapid.

In less than three days, Li Yang's sword Qi was filled with Qi, and he successfully reached the second step of internal cultivation: refining Qi.

It was not until now that Li Yang realized how dangerous it was when he released Bai Lian directly at the Yang family that day.

The sword energy and its master share weal and woe, and before the internal training is completed, although the sword energy is sharp, it has many weaknesses. If one is not careful, the sword will be destroyed and the master will die, and all the cultivation will be destroyed.

The most important taboo is that sword qi is very afraid of evil and pollution. Only after completing the three steps of internal training and finding rare treasures and precious irons to carry the sword qi will one not be afraid of filth.

With this in mind, Li Yang accelerated the process of internal cultivation of sword energy and even slowed down the time invested in other skills.

There is no other reason. Li Yang now has the Golden Light Spell for defense and the Jade Toad Qi Eating Method for recovering his spiritual energy. The only thing he lacks is a powerful attacking method.

[Zi Ping Fortune Telling] cannot be used on oneself, and is of little use against the enemy at this stage.

[Control Objects] can only be considered a control skill.

[Mo Lu Talisman Book] Li Yang now only has one method to draw the "Talisman to Calm the Evil and Calm the Spirit", and the effect of your talisman is a bit wrong. "As long as I can master the sword technique to a small degree, my shortcomings in attack will be made up. By then, with a flying sword, a golden light spell, and a bad luck talisman, I will be considered a powerful figure!"

Li Yang's eyes are bright and full of hope for the future.

……

It was August, and the continuous heavy rain for several days made the mountains begin to feel a little cooler.

More than half a month had passed since he awakened his sword skills, and Baiyun Temple had been closed since then and had not received any visitors.

In recent days, several teenage boys and girls from the Yang family came to the temple and knelt outside, wanting to worship Li Yang as their master.

Li Yang ignored him and continued to practice Qi every day.

There were many mosquitoes on the mountain, and it was raining. The children's knees became red, swollen and sore after kneeling for a whole day and night. Seeing that Li Yang still did not respond to them, they had to go down the mountain in twos and threes in despair.

But Wang Xin was stubborn and straightforward. He knelt in front of the temple for two days until his face turned pale and he was about to collapse.

Li Yang was somewhat helpless and had to send a message to call Yang Yingying over.

Yang Yingying brought a few doctors, stretchers and strong men. Seeing Wang Xin's dull eyes and endless fatigue and sleepiness on his face, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Wang Xin, get up. If the real person doesn't want to see you, it means your fate has not yet arrived. Why force it?"

"No, cousin, you don't understand. The Master is testing me. I must hold on to become his disciple... I must hold on, hold on..."

Seeing that Wang Xin was a little crazy, Yang Yingying felt uncomfortable. She signaled with her eyes, and several strong men held Wang Xin down. The doctor next to him injected him with a shot of sedative and he slowly fell asleep.

He asked several strong men to carry Wang Xin down the mountain on a stretcher. Li Yang did not show up during the whole process and the gate of the temple remained closed.

When Yang Yingying and the others left the temple, Li Yang's voice was heard from inside the temple.

"Yang Shanxin, don't let them come up again. I know what you are thinking, but I am not yet accomplished in Taoism, so I will definitely not accept any disciples at this stage."

Li Yang's voice was neither fast nor slow, but every word seemed to hit Yang Yingying, making her heart sink.

Li Yang was right. With her current control over the Yang family, she had indeed put these boys and girls here on purpose.

The purpose is very simple. He wants one of the younger generations of the Yang family to become Li Yang's disciple, so that Li Yang can be more closely tied to the Yang family.

Moreover, cultivating immortals, flying with swords, and living forever, these traditional romances that have been passed down in the bones of Chinese people for thousands of years are something that no one would not be moved by.

"I will follow the Master's order..."

Yang Yingying smiled bitterly and bowed towards Baiyun Temple.

For some reason, when she looked at Baiyun Temple now, she felt it was hazy. Although it was so close that she could touch it, she felt a slight sense of alienation.

Just like the drifting white clouds on the top of Baiyun Mountain.

The group retreated to the mountainside. When Yang Yingying was feeling lonely, a voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Ten years from now, if I am still alive by chance, I will establish the Taoist tradition in Baiyun Temple and establish a new sect. If you are still interested, you can send your juniors of the right age to the mountain to participate in the selection."
