I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

The Herrscher of Consciousness looked at Xier with a puzzled expression and scratched his head in confusion.

————————————————————

Ignoring Xier's little drama, Fu Hua was thinking about what she had just seen.

Although she was not clear about Dr. Mei's deployment, Xier's stigma was undoubtedly the product of the previous generation. In other words, Xier was not a person of this generation, but was one of the deployments of the previous generation.

(Since it is Dr. Mei's arrangement...)

Fu Hua lowered her head and thought. She was responsible for the Spark Project together with Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu. However, because human civilization developed too fast with the help of several people, it gave rise to a powerful Judgment-level Honkai Beast - Chi You. Fu Hua's friends Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu also died as a result, and the Spark Project failed.

The Stigma Project that Kevin was in charge of was also implemented as a last resort under the obstruction of Su. There has been no news about the Ark Project so far. This means that the only responsibility left is for the girl in front of him...

In that case...

Fu Hua made up her mind. She looked up at Xi'er and said, "Okay... I will accept you as my apprentice."

(yeah!)

Xier jumped for joy in her heart.

(Humph! I am perfect as expected!)

The Herrscher of Knowledge raised his head proudly, his words revealing confidence!

"Master! Please accept me as your disciple!"

Xier immediately knelt on one knee and saluted Fu Hua.

"It's okay. It doesn't have to be like this."

Fu Hua helped Xi'er up and asked, "But since you have become my disciple, I have to tell you that although I have no sect or school, there is one rule that must be followed, and that is that those who are possessed by demons must be eliminated!"

"Yes."

Xier agreed happily, but she was secretly complaining in her heart: Hehe, I don’t know who will become the Herrscher of Knowledge in the future...

(Hey, hey, hey! I'm not like an old antique!)

The Herrscher of Knowledge said indignantly: (I am the new Chi Yuan, the new Fu Hua! The old rules of the past will not apply to me!)

(Yes, Xiaozhi is amazing!)

Xier echoed.

"Then follow me back to the mountain."

Fu Hua casually strengthened the maze and then said to Xier.

"Yes!"

Xier followed Fu Hua respectfully towards Fu Hua's residence on Mount Taixu.

----------------------

Fuyun Temple, Fu Hua's residence in Taixu Mountain, is just a small building, but this building itself has considerable significance.

This is the place where Nv (Dan) Wa (Zhu) and Fu (Cang) Xi (Xuan) lived together in human legends. Of course, people would never imagine that these two legendary gods are one a money-grubber and the other a figurine-obsessed person.

"Wow……"

As soon as she entered Fuyun Temple, Xier felt a sense of amazement. The entire house, both in terms of architectural style and decorative layout, did not look like the buildings of this time at all, but it was also different from any style in history.

"Sit down first."

Fu Hua said lightly, although she said she would accept Xier as her apprentice, she didn't really know how to teach an apprentice. She had been living alone all these years, and her former friends had all passed away or never met again. When someone came to her residence, Fu Hua was inexplicably nervous. She had completely forgotten how to get along with others, although she was not good at these.

"it is good!"

Xier found a seat and sat down obediently.

……

……

The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became silent. Xier and Fu Hua looked at each other, and no one spoke.

"you……"

Fu Hua was the first to break the silence. She asked, "Do you have any family?"

"No, I'm an orphan."

Xier tells the truth.

"Yeah……"

Fu Hua lowered her eyebrows, not knowing what she was thinking.

"I'll clear out a room, and you'll live here from now on."

"Ok!"

Xier gave a big smile.

At this point, Fu Hua successfully stepped into the trap set by Xier and Shilu. This wave, this wave is called the daughter's anti-fraud (funny)

Of course, at this moment, Fu Hua and Xier still don’t know what kind of changes today’s events will bring about in the future.

Chapter 10: Taixu Sword Qi

After putting all the luggage in the room, Xier followed Fu Hua to an open space behind the house.

Since Fu Hua usually only practices in front of the house, Xier doesn't have a formal dojo to train in now, so she can only make do with it.

"Then here."

Fu Hua stopped in the middle of the open space. Cang Xuan had originally planned to build a house here, but it was never built in the end.

Standing in front of Xi'er, she said, "I will demonstrate what I will give you in a moment, just watch it first."

As Fu Hua said this, he took a stance and made a starting move. While practicing, he said, "The Taixu sword energy is divided into five elements, namely: heart, form, intention, soul, and spirit. The heart and intention are internal skills, while the form and soul are sword moves, just like what I practiced."

While practicing, Fu Hua introduced the Taixu sword energy to Xier.

"As for the divine essence, you cannot access it for the time being. I will explain it to you in detail after your sword heart is formed."

(Tsk... what's so mysterious about it? An old antique is an old antique. Let me tell you, the final divine essence is said to be extremely difficult to obtain. In fact, as long as the sword heart reaches the Taixu realm and the meaning reaches a certain level, it will be fine. The cultivation of the meaning requires the cooperation of the Xuanyuan Sword)

Xiao Shi complained silently in Xier's heart, and then spoke to Xier seriously.

(Xuanyuan Sword? Is that the one in Ji Lin's hand?)

While observing Fu Hua's movements, Xier was talking to Xiao Shi in her mind.

(Yes, that one, but don’t worry, Old Antique has plenty of them. The Key of Domination was made by the core of the Thousand Herrschers of the previous generation. More than a thousand were made at that time, and Old Antique herself probably got a few hundred. She is rich enough to use one and throw one away.)

The Herrscher of Knowledge complained without giving Fu Hua any face.

"Ah this..."

Xier didn't expect Fu Hua to have so many divine keys...

"what happened?"

Fu Hua, who had just finished rehearsing, saw Xier's surprised look and asked.

"Ah... nothing, I just think it's amazing..."

Xi'er was not lying. Although she was talking to Xiao Shi just now, she did watch Fu Hua's practice seriously. Taixu Sword Qi is indeed the pinnacle of Shenzhou martial arts. Every move reveals the ultimate of martial arts.

There are four lines: guard, transform, start, and open, totaling 21 moves. The start sword form has three moves: the waning moon, the broken sea, and the cracked sky. The transform sword form has six moves: the flying falcon, the black falcon, the swift, the vine sparrow, the cloud eagle, and the moon heron. The guard sword form has six moves: the weeping willow, the secluded orchid, the strong bamboo, the black chrysanthemum, the pure lotus, and the green pine. The opening sword form has six moves: the rock breaking, the chaotic thunder, the thunderbolt, the landslide, the instantaneous dust, and the earthquake.

These moves cover all ways of dealing with enemies in all situations, including offense and defense.

"How was it? How much did you remember?"

Fu Hua walked up to Xier and asked.

"I remember 80% of it..."

Xier carefully recalled the moves just now. In fact, the moves are not difficult to remember. It is nothing more than the choices made when facing the enemy. In fact, all martial arts and even any fighting techniques are like this. The moves are just a trigger. The one who really controls the switch is oneself. Choosing the corresponding switch at the right time is the essence of fighting.

Although Xier's experience in fighting enemies cannot be said to be much, it is definitely not a small amount. Compared to everyone in the martial arts world, Xier not only has rich experience in dealing with people, but also has a lot of experience in dealing with various monsters.

Fu Hua's various sword moves were originally used to deal with various Honkai beasts and dead soldiers, so they were perfect for Xier.

To be honest, these four sword forms are the optimal solution for fighting the enemy. As long as you are experienced, it is not difficult to remember them. So Xier's statement of 80% is just a humble remark. Although it is impossible to imitate them completely, in a real enemy situation, the choices Xier would make would definitely be similar to these sword forms.

"Oh?"

Fu Hua raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect Xier's memory to be so good. It seemed that the progress she expected could be slightly advanced.

"Very good." Fu Hua nodded, and then said: "In this case, I will teach you the Sword Heart Technique first. The training of the moves is not difficult, but the difficult part is to get started with the internal strength. Please listen to my mantra."

As Fu Hua spoke, she recited a long string of obscure words in front of Xier. The language had no regular pattern at all, as if it was just random garbled code, but it unexpectedly had a strange effect.

Xier felt herself becoming much calmer just by listening to these words.

This passage had a total of 462 syllables, which was neither long nor short. Fu Hua quickly recited the entire Sword Heart Art.

"How will this happen?"

Looking at Xier, who had a calm expression and was obviously affected by the Sword Heart Technique, Fu Hua asked.

"emmmm..."

Xier opened her eyes after hearing Fu Hua's words and after struggling for a long time, she said, "I didn't remember..."

"Oh, it doesn't matter. The key to the Sword Heart Technique is reciting and listening. When you can enter the state of mind when reciting the Sword Heart Technique at any time, the Sword Heart will be achieved."

Fu Hua casually picked a leaf from the tree and said, "This leaf is like an obstacle when you are practicing the Sword Heart Technique, and your state of mind is like a calm lake. Any worries in your daily life are like leaves falling into the lake. Although they will not cause big waves, they will destroy the tranquility of the lake. The role of the Sword Heart Technique is to smooth out these waves and then catch these leaves. When you can completely block the leaves outside the lake and the lake is completely calm, the Sword Heart will enter the state of still water."

"And what you have to do now is to recite the Sword Heart Technique with me to help you remember and stabilize your mind."

Fu Hua looked at Xi'er and said, "Are you ready?"

"no problem!"

Xier answered, and it was obvious that she had already experienced the effect of the Sword Heart Technique.

The next period of time is the time for the two to practice.

Since Xier had a strong interest in the Sword Heart Technique and Fu Hua was a first-time apprentice, the two of them forgot about time and devoted themselves to learning.

In this way, the two of them stayed in this open space until the sun set and night fell.

"Gulong..."

A strange noise interrupted the two of them. They were dazed for a moment and looked around before realizing that it was already evening.

"Gulu..."

There was another sound, and Xier quickly covered her stomach, a blush appearing on her pretty face.

Fu Hua looked at Xi'er and said, "Then let's stop here for today. How do you feel now?"

Xier closed her eyes and visualized her own heart according to the method of introspection taught by Fu Hua.

There are occasional fallen leaves floating in Xier's heart lake, but overall the lake has become calm.

"Master, there are still some waves."

Xier opened her eyes and answered.

"Good progress. Sword Heart cannot be achieved in one day. It requires a long period of refinement to keep a peaceful state of mind. Even if the Sword Heart is just beginning to be formed, it still needs to be trained, otherwise the newly formed Sword Heart may be damaged."

Fu Hua warned Xier like this.

(That’s true. After all, the old antique had already lost his swordsmanship when I was there, and he still hasn’t regained his swordsmanship.)

Xiao Shi said boredly, as a complete Fu Hua and a complete Chi Yuan, she didn't need to worry about those things, she was the strongest! So after listening to the Jian Xin Jue for an entire afternoon, she was almost bored to death...

"Yes, Master."

After spending an afternoon together, Xier clearly felt Fu Hua's care and love for her disciple. For the entire afternoon, Fu Hua stayed by her side, reciting the Sword Heart Technique over and over again. Even though Xier had memorized the entire Sword Heart Technique, she still assisted Xier in cultivating her state of mind, so Xier called her "Master" sincerely and with all her heart.

"Okay, let's go back to the house. What do you want to eat? The market should be closed now, so we can only make something ourselves."

Fu Hua did not have the airs of an immortal at all and started asking Xier.

"Eh? No need to trouble Master, I can do something myself."

Xier didn't expect that Fu Hua was actually planning to cook something for her personally, so she quickly waved her hand.

"Really?... Then let's do it."
