Chapter 49

Looking at the blue martial arts level, Ye Qingxuan was extremely excited.

The blue level martial arts, in the realm of ten colors and thirty grades of martial arts, belongs to the fifth color, already ranking in the middle. The inclusion of this technique actually granted him a full 15 skill points, which is twice the skill points obtained from blue-level martial arts. Additionally, because it was the first time he included a blue-level martial art, he received a double reward, totaling 30 skill points, and gained an additional opportunity to choose a blue-level martial art. This was the first time Ye Qingxuan had received such a large number of skill points since owning the "Langhuan Lingmiao Pavilion," which was of great significance to him, who urgently needed to improve his strength.

It seems that the higher the level of the technique, the more substantial the reward. In the future, he should set his goal for including martial arts on these higher-level techniques. Moreover, having an additional opportunity to choose a martial art means that Qingxuan would have more room to enhance the power and diversity of his martial skills.

"Little junior brother, have you memorized the heart method incantation?"

"I have memorized it."

Then he recited the incantation several times. After confirming that there were no errors, Daoist Qingyan sighed and said, "Since you have memorized the incantation, you don't need to worry about cultivation in the future. Little junior brother, remember, never rush. Do not force your cultivation until your internal energy reaches the 'Creation Realm,' to avoid insufficient internal energy and injury to your meridians."

Qingxuan naturally nodded in agreement; no one would joke about their martial arts future.

"Since that's the case, let's go to the courtyard, and I will teach you the [Kunwu Eight Swords]."

"Yes, Second Senior Brother."

Qingxuan could hardly hide his excitement, his joy evident on his face. He leaped into the courtyard, and his junior brother's excitement even startled Daoist Qingyan, who secretly praised his junior brother for being as obsessed with martial arts as their master.

Seeing Qingxuan hurriedly enter the courtyard, he turned and said, "Please, Second Senior Brother, teach me the sword technique."

Daoist Qingyan laughed and drew his sword, entering the courtyard. He casually stuck the scabbard into the ground and said in a deep voice, "This [Kunwu Eight Swords] is derived from the I Ching's Eight Trigrams, evolving into sixty-four hexagrams. There are eight swords, each with eight postures, forming sixty-four moves, each move with eight variations, totaling five hundred and twelve techniques. The I Ching has the trigrams of Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Xun, and Dui. Qian represents heaven, Kun represents earth, Kan represents water, Li represents fire, Zhen represents thunder, Gen represents mountain, Xun represents wind, and Dui represents marsh. Correspondingly, the Kunwu Eight Swords are named 'Heaven, Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Mountain, and Marsh.' Today, I will perform all eight postures, sixty-four moves, and five hundred and twelve techniques, and then explain them in detail... Little junior brother, our time is limited, so you must watch carefully..."

Daoist Qingyan held the sword in his right hand behind his back, standing majestically in the courtyard. A gentle breeze blew, and his blue robe fluttered, exuding a free and unrestrained, extraordinary demeanor.

"First, watch my 'Heaven' sword technique."

With his left hand, he made a bow, then formed a sword seal and pushed outward, as if embracing a full moon. The right hand reversed the sword, pointing the blue sword downward, then lifted it upward, and his body rose into the air, gracefully performing the 'Heaven' sword technique.

In the small courtyard, his blue robe fluttered, and the sword techniques flowed naturally. The 'Heaven' sword technique, exerting force from the air, mostly involved leaping and attacking, sometimes like an eagle catching a rabbit, sometimes like a celestial being riding the wind... moving like floating clouds, swift like startled swans, without a trace of force, truly like a gentle breeze.

Just as Qingxuan was captivated, the sword movement suddenly paused, becoming heavy. A loud shout came: "Kunwu Eight Swords, 'Earth' sword technique."

Thus, for several minutes, Daoist Qingyan's sword techniques alternated between thundering in the sky, gentle like the wind, fierce like a raging fire, and flowing like a stream...

He performed the 'Kunwu Eight Swords' so powerfully that the sky and earth seemed to tremble. For a moment, the blue robe fluttered, and the sword light crisscrossed. Qingxuan was completely unaware of his surroundings, feeling the sword light everywhere, the pressure overwhelming, as if he were a small boat in a stormy sea, with no place to stand.

When Daoist Qingyan finished his sword technique and the pressure disappeared, Qingxuan found himself drenched, as if he had been pulled out of water.

Qingxuan stood dumbfounded for a long time before coming to his senses and sighed, "Second Senior Brother's sword technique is so incredible, I truly admire you greatly, greatly admire you."

"Ha ha ha, little junior brother, don't joke. With your talent, surpassing me is just a matter of time. How much of this sword technique have you memorized?"

"None of it."

Qingxuan was not lying. Although the "Langhuan Lingmiao Pavilion" had recorded the sword technique in detail, he was initially captivated by the sword intent within the technique. In a daze, it was as if he saw the beginning of the world, the creation of the universe, sometimes thunder breaking the sky, sometimes mountains rising, sometimes gentle rain, sometimes raging fire...

Daoist Qingyan's sword technique was full of free and unrestrained spirit, and he had the most profound understanding of the 'Wind' sword technique. When Qingxuan observed, he felt a surge of wind and clouds, the most terrifying momentum. As for the other sword techniques, Daoist Qingyan performed them conventionally, with less insight than the 'Wind' technique.

Daoist Qingyan had not fully grasped the subtleties of the sword technique, so he could not fully understand the deeper meaning of the sword. However, just his understanding of the 'Wind' technique was very beneficial to Ye Qingxuan.

Qingxuan had extremely high insight and, based on Daoist Qingyan's performance, understood a deeper level of sword intent. It was more accurate to say that Qingxuan was captivated by the sword intent within the technique rather than the technique itself.

Completely immersed in the sword intent, Qingxuan naturally forgot the external sword techniques.

"Ha ha, little junior brother, don't be discouraged. This sword technique is the foundation of our Kunwu School. If you can master it, you will be able to learn any sword technique with half the effort."

What? Such a powerful sword technique is just the foundation? How profound were the sword techniques of the Kunwu School in the past?

Qingxuan was completely shocked by his second senior brother's words.

In Qingxuan's view, this sword technique had not been fully realized. Using it as a foundation for advanced sword techniques was certainly good, but if one could fully master this technique, it would certainly not be just a basic technique. If even the most basic technique could make him understand such profound sword intent, this world would not be an ordinary world but a fairyland.

"Please, Second Senior Brother, do not hesitate to teach me."

"Rest assured, little junior brother. We have plenty of time. For today, that's enough. Memorize the internal energy technique and do not slack off. I will come to teach you the eight swords at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

After saying this, Daoist Qingyan smiled and left.

As soon as Daoist Qingyan left, Ye Qingxuan rushed back to his room, eager to open the "Langhuan Lingmiao Pavilion" and take a look.

He took a deep breath and quietly observed the two new martial arts recorded in the "Langhuan Lingmiao Pavilion": [Kunwu Eight Swords] and [Ningyu Gong]. The [Kunwu Eight Swords] was displayed in white, indicating it was learnable, while the [Ningyu Gong] was still gray, indicating it was not learnable.

Due to his second senior brother's teaching, the [Kunwu Eight Swords] appeared in his attribute list as a blue-level intermediate martial art, with a proficiency level of "beginner" and 1% experience.

This time, for the first time collecting a blue-level martial art, the [Kunwu Ningyu Gong] (blue-level superior martial art) itself granted 15 skill points, and because it was the first time collecting a blue-level martial art, the system rewarded an additional 15 skill points. The [Kunwu Eight Swords] (blue-level intermediate martial art) granted 10 skill points. The addition of these two new martial arts gave Ye Qingxuan a total of 40 skill points, surpassing the total he had previously. Adding the 28 skill points he had left, Ye Qingxuan now had 68 skill points.

The skill points increased so quickly in one night that Ye Qingxuan was almost overwhelmed with happiness. The two new opportunities to choose a blue-level martial art especially excited him.

Looking at the newly recorded [Kunwu Eight Swords], he could easily learn it by pressing a button, costing 12 skill points.

However, Ye Qingxuan did not do this at the moment. Although he could easily master the sword technique through the "Langhuan Lingmiao Pavilion," this mastery came at the cost of losing the deeper understanding. For Ye Qingxuan, this method might be beneficial in the short term, but it would be detrimental to his long-term exploration of the sword path. Therefore, he decided to learn the [Kunwu Eight Swords] from scratch, thoroughly mastering the essence of the sword technique. Qingxuan believed that this understanding would greatly promote his advancement to the level of a sword master.

For the next three days, Daoist Qingyan came to Ye Qingxuan's private courtyard every morning to teach the [Kunwu Eight Swords].

As Qingxuan had predicted, the [Kunwu Eight Swords] was profound and rich in the essence of sword techniques. Just a slight touch, and he was captivated by the sword intent within the eight techniques.

Qingxuan, with an unprecedented desire, squeezed out the last bit of his potential, absorbing the sword techniques taught by Daoist Qingyan like a sponge.

This was not just for himself but also for the school.

Qingxuan knew that according to the school's decision, he would likely be treated like a precious treasure, protected and kept safe by his senior brothers. They would engage in a life-and-death struggle with the school's blood enemies.

I don't want to be a useless person who needs protection. I will not rely on others for protection, and I will not allow anyone to harm my school, my master, my senior brothers, and those adorable junior brothers... I will make myself stronger and more capable, not needing protection from others, and I will do my best to protect others, protecting everything I cherish in this life...

After three days, thanks to Daoist Qingyan's insights into the [Kunwu Eight Swords], Qingxuan's learning speed was astonishing, bringing his proficiency in this martial art to "slightly accomplished," with 63% progress.

Daoist Qingyan was very happy, both amazed by his junior brother's diligence and insight, and feeling reassured about the future of the school...

However, what Qingxuan was thinking at this moment was completely different from them.
