In the Qin Dynasty, people changed the world by brushing entries

This is clearly not in his character.

Moreover, he knew very well that although the Feng family had made a name for themselves in the world by their ability to appraise swords, this group of people were not simply sword appraisers. Before they could appraise swords, they must also be proficient in sword-making.

It is impossible that Feng Huzi only passed down the art of sword-reading but not the art of sword-making.

For a sword appraiser, if he does not know how a sword is forged, how can he judge its quality from a professional perspective?

Therefore, even if the Feng Huzi sword manual was lost, the Feng family would not face a catastrophic disaster. At most, their hundreds of years of hard work would be wasted.

In this regard, Bai Yuan could only say sorry.

If there is a chance to compensate the Feng family in the future, he wouldn't mind giving them a little help.

But that's all.

Skipping the topic of Feng Huzi's Sword Manual, Bai Yuan told the two that there would be some benefits every month for being in the top ten of the Three Talents Sword Manual.

Both of them were surprised after hearing this.

At first they thought this was just a simple ranking, but they didn't expect that this ranking came with rewards.

"What kind of reward would that be?"

Both of them asked Bai Yuan curiously.

Bai Yuan glanced at the system panel, and then saw what the so-called gift from heaven was.

A baptism of kendo allows people to feel the power of "Tao" up close.

If you rank in the top ten of multiple lists at the same time, the baptismal effect will be doubled.

However, a baptism cannot actually bring many practical benefits to people, nor can it make people suddenly stronger. It can only subtly enhance their understanding of the way of the sword.

How much effect it will have is unknown.

Bai Yuan immediately realized that this kind of baptism might be most effective for those who were stuck in the subtle realm. It might allow them to break through the shackles and enter the realm of unity between man and nature.

But apart from that, for other people, they probably won’t see much effect in the short term.

Such a generous gift was beyond Bai Yuan's expectations.

He thought he would at least give some rare treasures, right? He didn't expect that!

Although this kind of reward might be very generous to others, Bai Yuan was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

With the entry system in hand, would he lack such an opportunity for enlightenment?

With a look of disappointment, Bai Yuan told Ning Yan and Jimo Huaxue about this so-called gift from heaven.

Unlike Bai Yuan's reaction, they were indeed very satisfied with this reward, making it seem as if Bai Yuan was a little greedy.

Bai Yuan could only say that he still had too little experience!

Unlike Bai Yuan and others who knew that they would get rewards if they were in the top ten of the sword list, the others who were on the sword list were not yet aware of the rewards.

Because this sword manual is only open to those on the list, others cannot see the contents of the sword manual.

Therefore, the commotion caused by the Three Talents Sword Manual was not that big.

The sword masters who were able to be included in the sword manual were not fools. Before they knew what was going on, most of them chose to hide their identities and never mentioned the fact that they were included in the sword manual, as if it had never happened.

But there are also some people who do not hide their identities.

For example, Guiguzi and other big guys don't worry about any trouble in being on the sword manual ranking list. Compared with whether they will become famous or not, they are more concerned about the sword manual itself.

When this unusual thing, which even somewhat subverted their worldview, appeared, they became very curious.

What's more, this thing seems to involve the so-called "Tao".

This is a very remarkable thing for Guiguzi and others.

"Tao" is not something pursued only by Taoist disciples. All schools of thought are pursuing "Tao", but the "Tao" they pursue is different from that pursued by Taoists.

But they all have a consensus on this, that is, the Tao generally does not appear before people and is difficult to see.

But now "Tao" has actually interfered with the ranking of sword manuals. This abnormal phenomenon has forced these seekers of Tao to pay attention.

Chapter 165: Living by the Water

While those who were listed in the sword manual were still trying to figure out what the Three Talents Sword Manual was all about, the Heavenly Dao had already quietly given them their first gift.

This surprised the top ten on the three lists, including Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan himself didn't expect this. He was just complaining to Ning Yan and the others about the stinginess of the reward, and then they were inexplicably subjected to this so-called baptism of swordsmanship.

His spirit was connected to the Peach Blossom Sword and appeared in a void of space. There were many beings like him around him, and there were more than twenty people in total.

These people all look blurry and unclear.

Then, before he could think about what was happening, he saw a blurry sword shadow appear in front of him.

It was also unclear, but after just one glance, Bai Yuan couldn't take his eyes off it and was deeply immersed in it.

This sword shadow is the manifestation of the "Tao" of the sword. Its indescribable mysterious artistic conception can only be understood but not expressed in words.

This sword shadow can be compared to one. From one comes two, from two comes three, and from three comes all things. The sword arts of Bai Yuan and others can evolve based on it.

With the help of this blurry sword shadow, Bai Yuan and others' swordsmanship will be able to reach a higher level, and their sword skills will naturally increase.

I don’t know how long this glance lasted, Bai Yuan just felt that time had lost its meaning at this moment.

When he came to his senses, he found that the scene had disappeared and he was still in the room of the inn.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Hei Bai and others looking at him, Ning Yan and Jimo Hua Xue with some concern.

At this moment, Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue also woke up from that state of enlightenment.

They looked at Bai Yuan, obviously knowing exactly what had just happened.

That should be the so-called baptism of kendo.

However, after they came out of that state, when they recalled the appearance of the sword shadow, it seemed even more vague, as if it was just a dream, and a dream that they could not remember clearly.

Bai Yuan was better than them. After all, he had received a baptism of swordsmanship with a 6-fold effect. Even if the effect of the baptism itself was very weak, he still remembered the artistic conception contained in the sword shadow much more clearly than others.

"You are all awake, that's great! When we came over, we saw you guys standing there, and you didn't respond no matter how we called you. Now it seems that you should be fine."

"Of course we're fine. To be precise, we're not in a daze, but rather we've entered a state of enlightenment."

Bai Yuan explained to them with a smile.

Hei Bai and Bai were somewhat surprised after hearing this. Enlightenment is something that can only be encountered by chance. It was also the first time they heard of three people entering a state of enlightenment at the same time.

But after being surprised, the two of them congratulated Bai Yuan and the other two.

"I didn't expect that you guys have entered a state of enlightenment. That's really cause for celebration!"

Bai Yuan and the other two waved their hands after hearing this.

The effect of this sword baptism is indeed pitifully weak. In addition, for them at their current stage, the influence of this thing is also subtle, so in a short period of time they can also feel that they have become stronger.

"Goo~"

At this moment, Bai Yuan heard a strange voice coming from Hei.

Everyone looked at Hei, making her feel a little embarrassed.

"Well...we haven't eaten since this morning, so..."

Hei lowered his head shyly. This kind of thing was still very embarrassing.

Bai Yuan and the others heard it and looked at the sun outside. It should have been past noon at this moment. They also understood that Hei Bai and the others must have been guarding since morning until now, so they had not eaten.

"Your body is not like ours now. You can't stand being hungry. Hmm... How about this, you guys go downstairs and eat something to fill your stomach. I'll cook something myself in the evening."

Hearing Bai Yuan's words, Hei Bai's eyes lit up and they nodded hurriedly.

They had eaten the food from the inn once last night and had no appetite at all.

Now that Bai Yuan has promised to cook for him in the evening, Hei even feels that he can hold on a little longer and save some food for the evening.

But in the end, reason overcame desire. She was so hungry that she almost had no strength left, so it would be better to eat something to fill her stomach first.

So Hei Bai and Ning Yan went downstairs together, while Bai Yuan still had to wash up.

After the first gift from Heaven, the impact of the Three Talents Sword Manual became slightly greater, but it was still not noticeable in a short period of time.

After all, not many people would accept the gift, and many people deliberately concealed their identities, so most people didn’t even know about the Three Talents Sword Manual, let alone the gift from Heaven.

But beneath this calm, an undercurrent has quietly surged.

However, Bai Yuan, Ning Yan and others acted as if nothing had happened and temporarily put the matter of the sword manual behind them.

Bai Yuan washed up and prepared to go out with them.

At this time, the Black and White sisters and Ningyan were waiting for Bai Yuan downstairs.

Hei had already eaten something to replenish his energy.

But after last night's experience, no one else chose to eat breakfast in the store. They would rather endure for a while, wait until they had replenished the ingredients, and then let Bai Yuan cook.

When they went out, Bai Yuan also learned from the waiter that Feng Cheng had left the inn early in the morning. He must have rushed back to the Feng family because of the sword manual.

He had seen Feng Cheng's name in the sword manual before. Although his ranking was not high, it still surprised Bai Yuan.

Although his sword looks inconspicuous, it is actually a famous sword.

However, considering that the Feng family are all sword appraisers and are also proficient in swordmaking, it is not surprising that they have some famous swords in their hands.

When they came to the street, Bai Yuan and his friends saw many small stalls selling goods on the roadside. Although the town was not big, it was close to the Yellow River and had abundant aquatic products. Most of the people here made a living by fishing.

Bai Yuan and others were walking on the road, and this group of five handsome men and beautiful women also attracted a lot of people's attention.

This small town is located on the border. Where can these people normally see such a combination?

Although Bai Yuan and the others were not dressed very gorgeously, in the eyes of this group of ordinary people who had never seen the world, the cloth and other things they wore were valuable enough.

Therefore, they almost thought that some nobleman had come to their town for a visit.

Looking at the performance of these townspeople, Bai Yuan and others just smiled slightly.

After walking around, Bai Yuan also found that the seafood and other products here were sold very cheaply.

So Bai Yuan and his friends spent some money and bought a lot of seafood in one go.

There were many ingredients that Bai Yuan had never touched before.

To be honest, he hasn't tried a new recipe for a long time. Although the food he ate before was delicious, it has been such a long time since he last ate the same dishes over and over again, and Bai Yuan felt bored psychologically.

Therefore, he also plans to take this opportunity to expand his recipes and improve his cooking experience.

After a lot of shopping, Bai Yuan and others went straight back to the inn with a lot of various ingredients.

After paying the innkeeper, Bai Yuan successfully rented a kitchen. He planned to use local ingredients to make a fish feast.

Chapter 166 After eating, I felt like I was floating

In the kitchen, Bai Yuan was busy preparing various ingredients.

Although he was the one who cooked, Ningyan and the others were not idle either, and they all came to help.

After all, Bai Yuan was planning to prepare a fish feast. If he really had to do it alone, it would be hard to say how long he would have to wait before he could enjoy the meal.

So some simple side dishes were prepared by Ningyan and the others, and there was only one dish that Bai Yuan was responsible for from start to finish.

That is the steamed mandarin fish from the recipes of the master chef recorded in the system.

After such a long period of training, Bai Yuan has become more and more proficient in the use of the Green Lotus Fire. In addition, his internal strength has also improved significantly, so he decided to try this so-called first-class steamed mandarin fish.

He believed that it must be something extraordinary to be called a divine chef recipe by the system.

According to the recipe, the preparation of this first-class steamed mandarin fish is not that difficult.

The steps are similar to those for steaming mandarin fish, the only difference is the fire.

A steamed mandarin fish needs to be steamed over a green lotus fire for about twenty minutes, during which time there are very high requirements for the size and temperature of the fire.

If Bai Yuan wants to cook this dish well, he needs the help of Taoyao.

Taoyao has the ability to help people quickly replenish their internal energy, allowing them to become more durable.

After all the other dishes were cooked, Bai Yuan focused on steaming the steamed mandarin fish.

This was also the first time he used the Green Lotus Fire in front of Black and White. As Bai Yuan's mind moved, a green flame instantly jumped on his fingertips.
