Chapter 83

Wei Changfeng and Yu Qinghong returned to the Qingyuan Cottage after noon.

The sky had completely cleared up, and the warm sunlight shone upon the undulating Qingshang Mountain, also illuminating the courtyard on the mountain slope, quietly melting the snow on the ground.

"Master!"

To their surprise, Dongfang Caibai was actually in the courtyard, quietly looking at the plum blossoms that had peeked over the wall, seemingly lost in thought or reminiscing.

Yu Qinghong was startled and quickly ran over, holding onto the other's arm and asking in a coquettish voice, "Why are you here?"

In front of Wei Changfeng, she always tried to act like the senior sister, but in front of Dongfang Caibai, she was just a spoiled and affectionate young girl.

Dongfang Caibai turned around and said indifferently, "I was waiting for you two to return!"

Although her tone was indifferent, it couldn't hide a hint of indulgence.

"Oh!"

Yu Qinghong stuck out her tongue and said apologetically, "Sorry, Master. Wei Shidi and I went to the city."

She proudly showed the Mingguang Sword to Dongfang Caibai, "Master, look at this Mingguang Sword we bought at the Sihai Pavilion. It's said to be of a famous seal grade, and they asked for five thousand taels of silver."

"I bought it for four thousand taels!"

The young girl said proudly, her face beaming with satisfaction.

At this, Wei Changfeng couldn't help but admire his senior sister. Yu Qinghong's bargaining skills made him feel quite embarrassed, even suspecting that he had been taken advantage of in the Sihai Pavilion before.

After all, the items sold at the Sihai Pavilion were rarely discounted unless for large transactions, and she had managed to get Wan Haoming to accept eighty percent of the original price, making her a true master of haggling!

As a reward, Wei Changfeng had treated her to a sumptuous lunch at the best restaurant in the city.

So they returned a bit late.

Dongfang Caibai took the Mingguang Sword, drew it out, and took a look.

She nodded and said, "Not bad, it's a lower-grade famous sword. Although it has some flaws, it's much stronger than ordinary refined weapons. Five thousand taels is not expensive!"

Seizing the opportunity, Yu Qinghong said, "Master, do you know? Wei Shidi just accepted an upper academy disciple mission to escort a batch of medicinal herbs to the Bai Lu Miao Village. I think it's probably the Qingyun Hall playing tricks again!"

Dongfang Caibai frowned slightly, "When are you leaving?"

Wei Changfeng quickly replied, "Tomorrow morning. There are ten upper academy disciples and a senior teacher leading the mission. I don't think they will directly make things difficult for me."

Dongfang Caibai said, "Ultimately, your strength is still too weak. Otherwise, you wouldn't need to fear any ghosts or demons, and you could sweep them away with a single sword, making the world clear and bright!"

Pausing, she continued, "I originally planned to teach you the other half of the sword technique in a few days, but it seems there's no time left. So, let's do it now..."

Dongfang Caibai tossed the scabbard to Yu Qinghong and lightly waved the Mingguang Sword, saying, "Use this sword to teach you three sword techniques. Pay attention!"

Is this considered sharpening the sword before the battle? Wei Changfeng was speechless.

However, he didn't dare to be the slightest bit negligent and listened intently to his master's explanation of the new sword technique.

The new sword technique that Dongfang Caibai taught Wei Changfeng was incomplete, strictly speaking, only a small part, just three moves!

Raging Thunder Strike, Ten Thousand Thunderbolts, Lightning and Thunder!

This Thunderbolt Sword Technique belongs to the upper-grade spirit-level technique. Except for the six more powerful sword forms at the end, the accompanying true qi circulation method is only one-third complete. Otherwise, its rank would be much higher.

Dongfang Caibai learned the Thunderbolt Sword Technique from a true transmission manual given by someone else. Since the sword path didn't suit her, she only dabbled in it without refining it deeply. However, she was more than capable of guiding Wei Changfeng.

Compared to the Ten Thousand Sects Sword Technique, the Thunderbolt Sword Technique is a genuine secret skill for sword cultivators.

The power of the three sword forms is astonishing, and the difficulty of cultivation is high. If not for Wei Changfeng's extraordinary talent and insight, Dongfang Caibai wouldn't have taught him the Thunderbolt Sword Technique.

Holding the sword, Dongfang Caibai's entire demeanor changed, as if she had become the Mingguang Sword in her hand, exuding a sharp and fierce aura.

Wei Changfeng and Yu Qinghong were overwhelmed by her presence and involuntarily took several steps back.

In an instant, Dongfang Caibai suddenly lunged forward with her sword, moving at an incredible speed!

In Wei Changfeng's eyes, he only saw a streak of light flash past, followed by the deafening sound of a blade slicing through the air, making his blood boil!

Boom!

The three ironwood stakes standing in front of the south wall of the courtyard exploded, sending countless splinters flying. Dongfang Caibai's graceful figure reappeared.

The first move of the Thunderbolt Sword Technique, Raging Thunder Strike!

Wei Changfeng's face changed. He never expected the power of the Thunderbolt Sword Technique to be so overwhelming. Dongfang Caibai clearly controlled her strength; otherwise, half the courtyard would have been destroyed by this single strike!

This is the kind of sword technique I need to learn!

He felt an indescribable excitement, his eyes fixed on Dongfang Caibai, his blood seeming to boil.

In comparison, the Ten Thousand Sects Sword Technique he had been practicing could only be called a basic technique.

"Ten Thousand Thunderbolts!"

As Dongfang Caibai's voice echoed, an invisible force pushed Wei Changfeng and Yu Qinghong to the corner of the courtyard.

Brilliant sword light followed, forming a dazzling web of light. Dongfang Caibai's figure disappeared in it, then descended, covering most of the courtyard!

Even from a few feet away, Wei Changfeng could clearly feel the terrifying power contained in each sword light, enough to turn him into dust in an instant!

The wooden stakes on the ground were shattered by the sword light, leaving countless intricate sword marks on the hard bluestone slabs, each three inches deep, piercing through the thick slabs.

In the next moment, Dongfang Caibai, sword in hand, soared into the sky, the sword breaking through the air with a clear and prolonged whistle, followed by rolling thunder spreading in all directions!

The third move, Lightning and Thunder!

Wei Changfeng and Yu Qinghong were completely stunned, unable to speak.

Even Yu Qinghong, who had been with Dongfang Caibai the longest, had never seen her display such astonishing sword skills, especially in a technique she wasn't particularly skilled in!

If these three sword forms were mastered to their essence, they wouldn't necessarily make one a great master, but they would certainly make one invincible among peers—no one could stand in the way!

After a moment, Dongfang Caibai slowly descended, her skirt fluttering like a celestial being descending to earth, exuding an indescribable ethereal aura.

"Master, you're so amazing!"

Yu Qinghong was the quickest to react, running over to hug her arm and asking with shining eyes, "Master, I want to learn too. Can you teach me?"

Dongfang Caibai's natural aura was instantly disrupted by Yu Qinghong's coquettish behavior. She said irritably, "No, your sword path doesn't suit you. It would be a waste of time to force it!"

She handed the Mingguang Sword back to Wei Changfeng and said indifferently, "Study it well. I'll have Qinghong bring you the Thunderbolt Sword Technique manual. Remember to practice diligently during your mission and not let it go to waste."

"There's only half a month until the academy competition. If you lose your position as an upper academy disciple, don't ever come to see me again; I can't afford to lose face!"

Wei Changfeng took the Mingguang Sword, bowed, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance. I will not let you down!"

"Remember, you are fighting for yourself!"

Dongfang Caibai gave him a meaningful look and then left with Yu Qinghong.

Wei Changfeng straightened up and stood still, his mind replaying the three Thunderbolt Sword Technique moves that Dongfang Caibai had demonstrated, repeatedly recalling her movements, posture, and even her aura.

With his current sword cultivation, it was impossible to grasp the essence of the sword technique from just one viewing, but the deep imprint in his soul would greatly benefit his learning of these three moves.

This was precisely Dongfang Caibai's intention.

Time was too short, and she was forcing Wei Changfeng to fully tap into his potential and talent!

When Yu Qinghong returned to the courtyard with the sword manual, Wei Changfeng had been standing there for half an hour.

"Shidi, are you okay?"

His distant expression made Yu Qinghong worry.

Wei Changfeng blinked and suddenly smiled, "I'm fine, thank you, Senior Sister."

"What are you thanking me for!"

Yu Qinghong's face suddenly turned red, and she felt a sudden panic, not daring to look directly into his eyes, "Master is waiting for me to return. Practice well!"

She hastily handed the sword manual to Wei Changfeng and fled like a frightened rabbit.

Wei Changfeng laughed wryly.

The Thunderbolt Sword Technique manual was quite thin, with a rather worn cover. Most of the pages at the back had been torn out, leaving only a dozen or so thin pages.

Without the general outline of the sword technique, there were only the detailed illustrations and annotations for the three moves: Raging Thunder Strike, Ten Thousand Thunderbolts, and Lightning and Thunder, with densely packed small characters that made one's head spin.

Wei Changfeng flipped through a few pages and found that although this manual was not the original, as a partial true transmission, the author had put a lot of effort into it.

Each stroke was precise and clear, the penmanship sharp and revealing a fierce aura, similar to the sword momentum Dongfang Caibai had demonstrated earlier!

Wei Changfeng read and memorized each word, firmly imprinting each illustration in his mind, and compared it with his previous observations and insights.

He was completely immersed in the manual, losing track of time...
