Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 166 Healing
Having a photographic memory is the most basic skill for those who practice cultivation.

Compared to the various difficulties such as the obscure content of the scriptures and the fact that one could go astray if one made a mistake in practicing a word, memorizing those few hundred words was simply the easiest thing to do.

Yun Yi first prepared a hot meal, and then recounted the contents of "Yunluo Sword" to Song Xinci at the dining table.

After all, my wife is at the Hedao realm, and her comprehension of the Dao rhyme is at a different level from mine. With her help, I'm sure we can speed up a lot.

Facts proved that Song Xinci was indeed gifted. She sipped her porridge while listening to Yun Yi's lectures. Soon she had analyzed the inside and outside of the Yunluo Sword in detail.

Song Xinci absentmindedly sipped her porridge and said, "The core of Yunluo Sword Dao lies in transforming sword energy into silk threads, and then weaving these threads into all things. This method has extremely wide applications, both offensive and defensive, and can even be transformed into a sword energy soft armor for defense."

Yun Yi said, "I've never heard of this kind of sword art before. Today has broadened my horizons."

"This is nothing surprising. The path cultivated by the Embroiderer of Buried Sword Valley is similar to this, but she focuses more on transforming the sword into an embroidery needle, which makes it easier to use."

Yun Yi naturally knew the embroiderer's way of cultivation, but unfortunately he had to pretend that he didn't know. It was really hard for him to be so cautious.

Song Xinci was completely oblivious to Yun Yi's thoughts and continued, "In my opinion, the difficulty of Yunluo Swordsmanship lies primarily in the word 'soft'. How to condense the sword energy into a thread that is light yet strong is incredibly difficult."

"If you recover your cultivation, can you try to do it?"

"It is possible, but it certainly cannot live up to the grandeur that the Yunluo Sword should have."

Yun Yi sighed, "I suddenly understand why Master went to so much trouble to bring you and me here to cultivate. If we continue to stay outside and just sit in the well and watch the world go by, I don't know how long it will take us to realize that there is such a wonderful state of harmony in the world."

Song Xinci agreed deeply: "Sir, you are indeed a good method, and according to his arrangement, while you are exposed to these great ways, I will also benefit from it."

At this moment, Yun Yi saw a grain of white rice at the corner of his wife's mouth, so he reached out to wipe it away for her and said gently, "Wait until you finish eating, then we'll take a look at the sword energy in your body."

Song Xinci's face suddenly flushed, and she drank the last mouthful of porridge with forced composure, "Let's get started now. This is a good opportunity to verify whether our plan is feasible."

Yun Yi saw that she was a little shy, so he deliberately changed the subject, but he didn't point it out and was enjoying it.

It’s a pity that the healing was not as smooth as expected. The main problem was that Yun Yi had too little understanding of Yunluo Sword Art, and it was difficult for him to even make a rough application of it.

He was able to find the part of "Yunluo Sword" from the sword energy in Song Xinci's body, but the Yunluo Sword Dao was like a silk thread wrapped around the main body of the sword energy.

If you force yourself to withdraw, it will only make Song Xinci miserable.

The best thing to do is to be patient and unravel the mystery, and then remove it according to the Yunluo Sword Path.

So in the next few days, Yun Yi did not go to the Sword Casting Villa. He knew very well that one cannot digest too much. Now he could not even digest a little bit of the "Yunluo Sword", so it would be a waste of time to browse other books.

During this period, Song Xinci was not idle either. Her speed of comprehension was much faster than Yun Yi's, so she passed on her insights to Yun Yi to help him understand faster.

Moreover, the Yunluo Sword was originally created by a woman, so Song Xinci had a deeper understanding of the "softness" of it and naturally felt adept at using it.

Days passed uneventfully until the seventh day, when Yun Yi finally had an epiphany. He released sword energy from his fingertips, and surprisingly, he was able to condense it into a single strand of silk. Finally, he had some clues. "Let's try again." Yun Yi hurriedly pulled Song Xinci into the room, having her sit cross-legged. He sat behind her, his palms resting on her shoulders.

This time, Yun Yi transformed his spiritual power into a silk thread according to the method of Yunluo Swordsmanship, gently inserted it into the woman's body, and slowly swam along the meridians towards the strange sword energy.

Interestingly, the Yunluo sword intent in the strange sword energy sensed the breath of the same origin as itself, and actually separated from the sword energy on its own, and was finally pulled out of Song Xinci's body by Yun Yi.

As soon as it came into contact with the outside world, it disappeared without a trace.

Yun Yi was sweating profusely before he knew it. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "This is indeed the solution to the problem."

Song Xinci's face seemed to have a blush, and she no longer looked so pale and weak. She turned around and saw Yun Yi with a silly look on his face. She couldn't help but smile and wiped his forehead.

Yun Yi was still extremely excited: "I calculated that if I can comprehend a little bit of sword art every seven days, then in about two years I can expel all the sword energy from your body."

Song Xinci said gently, "Don't be so impatient, or you might go astray. You're only at the Spiritual Transformation stage now. Forcing your progress might cause the inner demons of the Return to Void stage to become even stronger."

"There's also good news. I seem to have faintly touched the edge of returning to my true self."

"Ok?"

The hurdle in refining the spirit and returning to the void is "returning to the truth". In the first two realms, the cultivator has cultivated the spiritual energy and divine consciousness to perfection respectively. However, if he wants to advance to the realm of returning to the void, he needs to return them all to the truth.

As for what "returning to the true nature" means, as the name suggests, it has the same meaning as "returning to the original state." If Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation are both about carving and polishing a piece of unpolished jade, then "returning to the void" is about restoring this unpolished jade to its most original state.

The great way is simple, returning to nature is the preparation for the future harmony with the Tao.

Ever since Yun Yi's angry battle with Prince Xian Su Xin, he had finally broken through and entered the Spiritual Transformation Realm. He had been using his divine consciousness to refine his sword intent, and had unknowingly already passed the early and middle stages.

The Fuhu Dao on his right arm replenished his acquired physical strength, and the three sword intentions helped him to move forward in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Yun Yi had a vague premonition that perhaps when he comprehended the ninety-nine sword arts, it would be time to advance to the Return to Void Realm.

Moreover, his situation was very different from that of ordinary cultivators. His Qi Refining Realm was already extremely solid, and he had even cultivated the Fangyuan Sword Intent within him. Now that he was in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he had taken a different approach and had already been exposed to many sword arts.

This knowledge and experience will be his greatest help in his cultivation in the Return to Void Realm.

Song Xinci looked at Yun Yi, who was as excited as a child, and rarely did she pour cold water on him. She just smiled and watched him plan.

He said that if everything went well, three years would be more than enough time, during which time he could also borrow the resources of the Sword Casting Villa to hone the shape and meaning of the square and round sword.

He also said that if Song Xinci's health gradually improved, it would be better for her to go to Zhujian Villa, which would definitely be helpful.

Song Xinci has always felt that Yun Yi is an old-fashioned guy who always seems to have countless worries. She doesn't know why he is like this, or maybe he is only like this when facing her.

But now Yun Yi's joy after comprehending the rare sword art seems particularly real, as if this is the purest pleasure in the journey of cultivation.
