Embers of Sword

Chapter 13 Golden Vitality
"What a shame! What a shame!"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the carriage was somewhat quiet, Deng Baiyi shook her head, sighed exaggeratedly, and patted the thick talismans with a sense of showing off: "It's a pity that I haven't had the chance to use these vitality talismans that I worked so hard to carve! If a fight breaks out just now, I guarantee that they will be pissed and run away!"

Xie Xuanyi couldn't help but sneered: "Just these few talismans don't seem to be enough."

Deng Baiyi blinked, then sat up straight again, resuming the listening posture of a student.

"The 'Qi Talisman' of the Qi Refiner may be useful to ordinary people and common fools."

"But for desperadoes... it doesn't work well."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "People who are willing to risk their lives will not retreat. Think about it carefully. If a fight really breaks out, and they come to you with your talismans, what will you do?"

Deng Baiyi was stunned for a moment.

Yes, these talismans containing vital energy, once thrown out, are extremely powerful, enough to blow off the limbs of ordinary people.

But there is more than one opponent. If he gets close, he has not yet reached the "foundation building stage" where he can melt the vital energy into his body.

Being hacked or killed are both possible things!

After thinking of this, cold sweat suddenly broke out on her back.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the seemingly high-and-mighty Qi-refining masters are actually also flesh and blood. If they are hit by swords, they will bleed and die!
Xie Xuanyi said word by word: "Ants in large numbers can kill elephants. This is true not only for Qi Refiners, but also for those who have reached a higher level. The cavalry of the Da Chu royal family has trampled to death many powerful practitioners. Deng Baiyi, remember, if you can stand on the top of the mountain one day in the future, don't put yourself in a desperate situation easily."

Deng Baiyi stared at the young man in front of her, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

After a moment, she pursed her lips and asked cautiously, "Legend has it that sword immortals can steer swords through mountains and rivers. How can we kill the cavalry of the Da Chu royal family?"

"No matter how powerful a swordsman is, there will come a day when his toes touch the ground."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and shook his head: "The flying sword fell to the ground, the formation was locked, and then the Iron Cavalry rushed to kill. The dragon-locking formation of the Da Chu royal family can completely cut off the vitality of a piece of heaven and earth. If the vitality of the locked person is exhausted, then who will win or lose in this battle? Even if there is an endless supply of vitality, the sword immortal is also human, and human power is limited. Even if you take a step back, if the Iron Cavalry is really used to kill the great cultivator, there must be a person with extraordinary strength behind the Iron Cavalry. In a duel of the same level, even a slight difference in Qi can be enough to decide the outcome. Most of the time, the hundreds of lives of the Iron Cavalry are given to the sword immortal to kill. The person behind the scenes only hopes that these lives can create a difference that can decide the outcome of life and death."

Deng Baiyi was listening attentively, feeling as if she were there, and she unconsciously clenched the talisman in her hand tightly, leaving a bunch of wrinkles.

"You have a good talent for cultivation."

Xie Xuanyi returned to the topic and said softly, "Keep these talismans well and hurry up to draw a few more."

There was a pause.

He sighed and said solemnly: "If you really want to use these talismans to fight, maybe soon... your wish will come true."

Deng Baiyi uttered an "oh" in confusion, and then obediently devoted her attention to the task of drawing talismans.

But her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Deng Baiyi suddenly felt that everything now seemed like a dream.

I actually started practicing!

Her world suddenly was no longer just Beijun. A huge door was pushed open.

On the other side of the door is a boundless and magnificent world.

If you think about it carefully, it is really ironic...

To this day, she still doesn't know the name of the person who opened the door for her.

……

……

After saying those words, Xie Xuanyi seemed to be resting by the window with his eyes closed, but in fact his heart was not at peace either.

The higher the spiritual realm of a practitioner, the more accurate his intuition will be.

After leaving Yuzhu Town.

The uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Beihai drowned, Beijun woke up, his natal flying sword was lost... Putting these events together, it was hard for him to believe that all this was a coincidence.

After spending these few days with Deng Baiyi, Xie Xuanyi has been able to confirm one thing.

The girl who had been with him day and night for three whole days was not bewitched by any witchcraft, and the servants of the Deng Mansion who were willing to leave Yuzhu Town and go to Qingzhou with him were all normal people.

What is really worthy of suspicion is the mysterious Taoist priest in white robe mentioned by Deng Baiyi.

A prophecy tied Deng Baiyi and himself together.

Now, I want to find clues about my natal flying sword.

Then you must go to Lichao City.

Xie Xuanyi knew very well that if there was nothing unusual about the Deng family, the journey to Lichao City would not be peaceful.

Xie Xuanyi didn't believe that the seemingly coincidental "help" just now was accidental.

This is also the reason why he told Deng Baiyi to draw more talismans, which would come in handy.

Xie Xuanyi has always trusted his intuition.

He felt that the previous "help" incident would not end just because the Deng family's convoy left.

It is clear.

Since waking up in Yuzhu Town, he has been in a bureau.

Deng Baiyi is a pawn, and so is he.

Xie Xuanyi tried hard to piece together these messy clues and thought hard, but to no avail...

He suddenly felt a little regretful.

Back then, I only practiced swordsmanship. In the remaining time, I would rather drink and sleep than study other techniques other than swordsmanship.

At this moment, if I had some knowledge of the art of Qimen Bagua and could use the method of "divination" to get a glimpse of the secrets, I would not be so passive.

"It's useless to think too much. Given the current situation, we can only take it one step at a time."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and stopped thinking about these troubles. Instead, he focused his mind on practicing.

I never expected that this would be another worry.

The vital energy condensed quickly, but it still could not enter the body!

In a sense... Deng Baiyi, who had just started Qi Refining, practiced faster than Xie Xuanyi.

There was no change in Xie Xuanyi's expression.

He had a very good attitude. If it didn't work once, he would try ten times. If it didn't work ten times, he would try a hundred times. In the past few days, he had tried to use his vital energy to impact the acupoints nearly a thousand times!
He had tried to absorb the energy of heaven and earth nearly a thousand times without success... This could already be described as "having no talent".

Back then, Xie Xuanyi succeeded in acupuncture after just one attempt.

But now, after nearly a thousand attacks, he had only just made one acupoint "bright and moist".

Palm, Laogong point.

After this acupoint was opened, Xie Xuanyi immediately noticed something strange.

He calmed his mind and observed the acupoint carefully. After "looking inside", he found that the Laogong acupoint was actually emitting fluorescent light!

The vital energy that merges into the acupoints here is different from the vital energy of heaven and earth in the outside world, and it flows with a faint golden glow!
"Wait... golden energy?"

Xie Xuanyi stared at the golden glow in his palm, and sweat broke out on his back.

Practitioners are divided into different levels of realm, and naturally there are also different levels of vital energy.

The vital energy that normally floats between heaven and earth is invisible, colorless and tasteless. After being forcibly condensed by practitioners through spiritual means, it will appear light white.

The greater the density and the higher the purity, the closer the color of the vital energy of heaven and earth will be to silver-white!

After being absorbed into the body, the vital energy of heaven and earth becomes a part of the practitioner's body.

The practice of the vast majority of practitioners can be said to be the practice of that breath of "breath"!
Only great practitioners who have transcended the cave heaven realm can possess the so-called "golden vitality" -

Xie Xuanyi suddenly realized a possibility.

It's not that my body can't blend with the energy of heaven and earth. It's that the natural energy naturally generated in this world is of too low quality.

This body is a picky eater.

I have tried it nearly a thousand times in the past few days, and it worked every time!

Every time, your body is "eating"!
It took the effort of consuming a thousand times of vital energy to finally condense a strand of high-grade vital energy!
This discovery made Xie Xuanyi fall into complete silence.

"So... I need to condense golden energy in every acupoint before I can enter the foundation-building stage?"

He stared silently at the rice-like fluorescent spot in the palm of his hand.

Outrageous, too outrageous.

Want to fill your acupoints with the vital energy of heaven and earth?

It's just a foolish dream!
This method of cultivation would be impossible even if a Daluo Jinxian were to come!
"To advance to the second realm, we must solve the problem of 'golden energy'."

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath and murmured in his heart: "It is impossible to complete the promotion by relying on the normal vital energy floating between heaven and earth."
