Chapter 10 Obtaining the Sword
The moon is like water.

Tingtao Courtyard is brightly lit, just like daytime.

Under a plum tree on the west side of the courtyard, the sword light flashed.

After a dozen flashes, the long sword returned to Chu Zhiyuan's sheath, and he had already completed the Great Avalanche Sword Technique.

The Yongquan points on his feet suddenly surged like a whale swallowing, and his vital energy surged up to fill his Dantian.

Then he struck a strange pose under the tree: his legs were slightly bent, his left hand stroking and his right hand pressing, as if he was hugging something.

It is the Dragon Subduing Post.

By practicing the Dragon Transformation Technique with the Dragon Subduing Posture, the effect of practice will be doubled.

A quarter of an hour later, after his meridians had consumed eight or nine out of ten of the energy in his dantian, he once again practiced the Di Yuan Jue, and the Yongquan points on his feet absorbed energy from the earth to fill his dantian again.

Then continue to stand in the Dragon Subduing Posture and practice the Dragon Transformation Technique.

After an hour, I felt sleepy.

Then he started to practice the Tian Yuan Jue.

Wisps of cool air descend from the sky and fall into the Baihui acupoint. The brain feels as if immersed in an icy spring, instantly invigorating the mind and dispelling all sleepiness, just like waking up from a deep sleep.

Feeling refreshed, he continued to stand in the Dragon Subduing Posture and practice the Dragon Transformation Technique.

Great Avalanche Sword Technique=》Earth Origin Technique=》Dragon Transformation Technique=》Earth Origin Technique=》Great Avalanche Sword Technique=》Heaven Origin Technique.

Over and over again, the cycle continues.

Before I knew it, the morning light had broken.

He had practiced martial arts all night but still looked energetic and not tired at all.

This night of non-stop hard practice is better than ten days of hard practice.

The body has the ability to heal itself and restore balance, such as recovery after an injury or rebound after weight loss.

Most of the time it is a good thing, but everything has its pros and cons, and sometimes it is not a good thing.

For those who practice martial arts, the ability to heal themselves and regain balance allows them to recover from injuries, but at the same time, it is also the biggest obstacle in practice.

It makes the body like a spring and rubber, preventing external forces from changing itself.

Normal practice requires rest, you need to rest for half a day after practicing for half a day.

During the half-day of rest, the body's self-healing and recovery capabilities will eliminate most of the results of practice, leaving only one or two out of ten.

And he practiced non-stop all night long, advancing forward in one go, suppressing the rebound of his self-healing and balance-restoring abilities, thus retaining more of the results of his practice.

Destruction followed by reconstruction is to make use of the body's self-healing and recovery capabilities to strengthen the body. It is a way of deceiving the world and a shortcut.

Therefore, his continuous practice in one night is better than the usual ten days of practice.

He felt that with this level of practice progress, it would only take one month to master the first level of the Dragon Transformation Art, and then he could start practicing the Air Cleansing Art and the Dragon Binding Rope.

The Cleansing Breath Art and the Dragon Binding Rope were complicated but easy to master, and were not difficult for him. He eventually mastered the Jade Lock and Golden Barrier Art, broke through three barriers in one breath, and entered the innate realm.

-

When four maids were serving him breakfast, Zou Fang quietly handed him a booklet and stepped back quietly.

When Chu Zhiyuan walked out after dinner, he flipped through the booklet as he walked.

After finishing flipping it, he handed it directly to Zou Fang.

Zou Fang rubbed his palms lightly, and it immediately turned into powder, which fell into the soil in the cracks of the blue bricks.

Chu Zhiyuan arrived at the gate of the palace.

At this time, the morning light was just breaking, the lanterns were still lit, the streets were quiet, and the noise was faintly drifting in from a distance.

Yujing is a city that never sleeps. It is bustling and lively day and night.

Guo Chi brought eight innate masters with him, and Feng Xi followed them quietly, protecting Chu Zhiyuan as they moved forward.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled at Feng Xi and said, "No wonder he is so confident. This Chief Secretary is actually the direct disciple of the Palace Master of Baiyun Sword Palace."

Feng Xi said: "Master Jiang is the direct disciple of Grandmaster Ye Menghuan, and is destined to be a Grandmaster as well."

“Alas… the disciple of the Grand Master, so to speak, I am also the disciple of the Grand Master.” Chu Zhiyuan said.

Feng Xi smiled and said, "Grandmaster Ye has only one direct disciple like this, who is the future Palace Master of Baiyun Sword Palace. Now he can be called Young Palace Master."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Chu Qingfeng is responsible for teaching these princes and princes, but he is different from the masters of the martial arts sects.

The master-master relationship in a martial arts sect is better than that between father and son, but Chu Qingfeng's relationship with these princes and princes is far from that close.

"My Lord, I will go and urge him again today."

“No hurry.” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: “This is deliberately avoiding suspicion. Besides, if it happens too often, it will only make people laugh and be looked down upon.”

The Prince Qing's Mansion has always been deserted and no one visits because the situation is unclear.

After all, he has been sealed for thirty years, just like a criminal who has just been released from prison. Everyone will be cautious. Rash contact may cause trouble, so people would rather avoid it if possible.

When Feng Xi went to ask for a meeting, the head of the Central Division must have known about it, and saying that he needed to send in a visiting card in advance was both a rule and an excuse for not wanting to meet.

The Prince Qing's Mansion is the prince's mansion. Under normal circumstances, exceptions can be made and queue-jumping is allowed. This is a privilege of the royal family.

If it were an ordinary official, he would have to meet him even if he didn't want to. However, this Chief of the Central Department was very confident and would not meet him even if he didn't want to.

If Feng Xi were sent again, it would be like pestering him. Even if he could barely see the Lord of the Central Division, it would be a loss of face for the Prince Qing's Mansion.

Face is sometimes not that important, but sometimes it is very important, especially for the royal palace, it represents dignity, status and reputation.

If your reputation is ruined, you will be completely isolated, and the environment will become even more difficult than it is now.

In the morning light, there were only two people standing motionless in the Zi Yang Stance on the martial arts training ground.

One is tall and slender, the other is tall and slender.

The sun is rising and purple air is coming from the east. It is the best time to practice the Little Purple Yang Technique.

Chu Zhiyuan came up to the two of them, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Ninth brother, tenth brother, it's early enough."

The two opened their eyes, clasped their fists and called out "Fourth Brother."

Chu Zhiyuan could tell that the call of "Fourth Brother" was sincere and no longer seemed so reluctant.

This is the way the world is, the strong are respected.

Then he smiled and said, "Ninth and Tenth Brothers, do you know the Chief of Zhenwu Division?"

"Master Jiang?" Chu Zhiting nodded: "Fourth brother has never met this Master Jiang, right?"

"It's a pity to meet you."

"This Chief Jiang is the only disciple of Grandmaster Ye Menghuan, and he is destined to become a Grandmaster."

"Ninth brother, have you seen it?"

"I've met him twice. He's a nice guy, very friendly."

"laugh!"

The two turned to look.

The smile on Chu Zhichuan's handsome face was disappearing.

"Old Ten, what are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at your naivety, Brother Jiu." Chu Zhichuan sneered: "Friendly? You actually think Jiang Qiuge is friendly, hey!"

Chu Zhiting frowned.

Chu Zhichuan snorted, "This Chief Jiang is very arrogant. He doesn't even take us seriously. His so-called kindness is just a mask."

Chu Zhiting said, "Tenth brother, you are too harsh. Judge by his deeds, not his heart. No matter what he thinks, just see what he does."

"I can tell you're so arrogant at first glance, you're really slow-witted, Brother Nine!" Chu Zhichuan sneered, "So what if I'm the future Palace Master of Baiyun Sword Palace? So what if I'm a Grandmaster? What's there to be proud of? We are the grandchildren of our great grandfather, and we are descendants of the Chu family!"

Chu Zhiting shook his head: "Grandmasters are qualified to be arrogant."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Tenth brother, other than his arrogance, what is the character of this Chief Jiang?"

"...He doesn't have any flaws. He's just arrogant and hypocritical, but he disguises himself very well. There's nothing to criticize about him." Chu Zhichuan snorted.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

If this is the case, then this Lord Jiang will probably meet with me and will not directly deny the face of Prince Qing's Mansion. He will maintain superficial respect.

As the three were talking, other people arrived one after another. After greeting each other, they started to get into position and practice the Little Purple Yang Technique.

The last to arrive was the eighteenth prince Chu Mingxuan, who wore a saber on his left waist and a sword on his right waist.

When he got to Chu Zhiyuan, he took off the long sword from his waist with the scabbard and threw it to him: "Old Four, it's yours!"

"Thank you, Uncle Eighteen."

Chu Zhiyuan took it with a smile and lowered his head to look at the sword.

The dark green scabbard is covered with vine patterns, like countless vines entwined together, giving off an ancient and vicissitudes of life vibe.

The silver sword hilt has faint cloud patterns and flowing silver light, revealing a subtle sense of luxury.

The long sword was slowly unsheathed, the sword body was as bright as a pool of autumn water, and the blade was flashing with cold light, and the cold air quickly spread out.

Chu Zhiyuan pinched the sword formula with his left hand and gently stroked the sword body, feeling the coldness, hardness, and flexibility. He inexplicably felt a sense of calmness, and his mind seemed to calm down quickly, his heart and mind were calm.

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

This is a bit weird.

With a sharp blade in his heart, he will kill himself.

This is both the nature of weapons and the nature of human beings. When weapons and people are combined, they will stimulate the violent impulses deep in their hearts.

But being able to touch this blade is just the opposite.

Once a martial artist starts fighting with others, adrenaline is immediately secreted, he becomes excited, and his blood boils.

This situation has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that this kind of excitement will make you fearless, feel no pain, and risk your life.

The disadvantage is that the mind inevitably loses its calmness and rationality, and most of the time, people act on instinct, not because they want to do something, but because the body takes over before the brain.

This sword can calm the mind and the person holding it can remain calm and think in a fight. This alone makes it worthy of the name of a precious sword.

He looked up and smiled, "Nice sword!"

Chu Mingxuan said: "I haven't figured out what the secret of this sword is. You can study it yourself, Old Four."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

Even if no other mysteries can be figured out, just the fact that it can calm the mind and soothe the soul makes it an extremely rare sword.

He stroked the sword several times with his left hand, making sword gestures, before reluctantly returning the sword to its sheath.

There are too many people here now, so it's not suitable to study it in detail. It won't be too late to study it slowly after returning to the palace.
