Proud Sword Rebirth

After arriving at the Bauhinia Mansion, Yi Chen found a place to sell fifteen armored rhinoceroses and obtained about 80,000 yuan. This wealth was not that amazing, but it was enough for Yi Chen and his group to make several purchases in Bauhinia City.

Years of expenses. If it were an ordinary civilian family, this wealth would be far enough for them to live for a lifetime.

After renting a dormitory-style courtyard, their lives became stable and always in a peaceful state.

The children were training and cultivating in the yard. Yi Chen occasionally knew from the outside that they were practicing in the courtyard most of the time.

The soul-absorbing stones are playing an increasingly important role, but it's a pity that the children don't understand. Their cultivation speed is alarmingly fast, but they think it's normal. Little do they know that this is all the result of Yi Chen.

After reaching the early stage of Danjian, the sword essence in the sea of ​​consciousness becomes more pure, but the spiritual energy required is also more. Often after a thousand times of spiritual energy is refined, at most the sword essence can be increased by a little, and this is still with the help of spiritual stones.

Under the circumstances, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid it would take at least several years for him to break through to his current level. However, with the soul-absorbing stone, he is confident that he can reach the peak of the early stage of Danjian within half a year. If he wants to break through to the early stage of Danjian, he should

It still takes some effort, but it probably won't be as difficult as breaking through the Yuanjian stage.

After all, there is a big hurdle between the Yuanjian stage and the Danjian stage, but there is only a small hurdle between the early stage of Danjian and the middle stage of Danjian.

Since arriving in Bauhinia City, the children have become more interested in practicing, because here, they can feel the stronger aura of swords. No matter where they go, they can see people carrying long swords on their backs, and everyone has one.

The unique understanding of swordsmanship can often be heard in the streets and alleys, and in those remote yards and houses, the sounds of sword discussions and sword practice can also be heard.

In this strong kendo atmosphere, children naturally refuse to lag behind and are often too tired to crawl every time.

Yi Chen was very pleased with this. He couldn't help but sigh: "The environment shapes the future. If these children had lived in Bauhinia City since they were born, their achievements might not be worse than they are now."

Their current level of cultivation was actually cheating by relying on Yi Chen's soul-absorbing stone, and also relied on many pills. Otherwise, how could they have grown to this point in just over half a year?

Back then, even Yi Chen's cultivation speed had not reached this level. You can imagine how lucky they were.

And this group of children also strived for success and did not waste such a hard-won opportunity. Each of them has a cultivation level that cannot be ignored, and their understanding of swordsmanship has also surpassed many of their peers. Their physical bodies have also been tortured and tempered countless times.

, reached a satisfactory level.

One side of the yard.

"Heavy Sword Technique... Fine Sword Technique... Sword Drawing Technique..." Yi Chen slowly waved the long sword and kept mumbling the names of the nine sword techniques. The long sword followed a beautiful trajectory and kept moving in mid-air.

This sword has been scarred and is no longer sharp. You can vaguely see several obvious gaps on the blade. Although they are not big, they are not small either. Moreover, there is a small gap from the blade to the blade.

The cracks all prove that the life of this sword is coming to an end.

But in Yi Chen's hands, it is still no different from other swords. If I have to say what is different, I can only say that its appearance is really unflattering.

This sword has been with Yi Chen for a long time. From the battle between Aojian Continent and the main hall master Liu Pang, until now. This sword has been with Yi Chen. It is stained with the blood of many masters.

There is also a bit more thick evil spirit and blood.

"It's still wrong." Yi Chen stopped and frowned.

His understanding of swordsmanship seemed to have fallen into a certain bottleneck. For a while, he could not break through. His mood became a little impetuous. Even if he sat quietly for a while, it still had no effect. He knew that this kind of impatience could not be eliminated by meditation alone.

.

Simply, he put away his sword, stood up, and walked out of the yard.

Although a few children saw it, they did not make a sound and continued to train honestly, constantly improving the waist area, because this is where the Dantian is and where fighting strength is stored. Only by training here can it become more solid.

Only then can you practice more easily and the fighting power in your body will be more stable.

After passing through the alley, Yi Chen came to the street.

Occasionally, the sounds of some arguments would reach his ears.

"A gentleman's sword should be a gentleman's style. Become a gentleman first and then practice swordsmanship. This is the right way."

"Absurd! To cultivate a gentleman's sword, you should follow the gentleman's demeanor of the weapon. Every move, opening and closing should be consistent with the way of a gentleman, instead of being held accountable to the person who uses the sword."

Yi Chen smiled and shook his head: "It's really lively!"

As for the theory of the Gentleman's Sword, who is right and who is wrong, who is strong and who is weak, Yi Chen doesn't bother to care about it. Everyone has their own way of swordsmanship in their hearts. No matter whether they are right or wrong, they will be very persistent and will not conflict with each other at all.

If Yi Chen intervenes at this moment, no matter what he says is right or wrong, these people will not be able to listen.

If you mind your own business less, it will be beneficial to others and yourself. This is the wisest choice.

Walking slowly, Yi Chen had no fixed destination, just wandering around casually, always paying attention to the voices discussing swordsmanship, comparing the mysteries he had learned, and constantly simulating them in his mind. If he couldn't figure it out, he would

Write it down first, and then continue to think about it after you return to the yard.

Just walking and stopping all the way, he didn't know how far he had gone. Anyway, it was getting late, and there were many novel theories and immature things in his mind.

In the evening, when the children were meditating, he was also meditating, but the children didn't think about anything, while he was constantly thinking about those kendo theories, constantly analyzing the principles and investigating their essence. In this way, he actually slightly

There were gains, and the wall that resisted his swordsmanship breakthrough seemed to be slightly loosened.

He was immediately overjoyed. He didn't expect that this method actually worked.

At night, Yi Chen practiced until late at night, leaving a trace of sword energy warning, and then fell asleep slowly.

Early the next morning, he bought breakfast for the children. After eating hastily, he ordered the children to train or practice on their own. He walked out alone again, choosing a different street from yesterday, walking aimlessly as before.

, he was constantly simulating it in his mind, constantly absorbing new nutrients, and his spiritual thoughts, which were about to dry up, began to surge again.

Therefore, in recent days, we have always seen such a strange phenomenon in the east corner of Bauhinia City: a handsome young man wearing a clean white shirt. He is walking on the street with dull eyes, and occasionally shows a smile.

But it always disappears, and occasionally he frowns slightly. But it only lasts for a moment. He never pays attention to where he walks. Maybe he walked here yesterday, and he walked here again today.

, he will still walk by here tomorrow. Maybe he walked here yesterday, but today he walked from the opposite side, and tomorrow he will go around the bend.

His walking route is irregular, but his slightly demented but extremely handsome face will occasionally make passersby turn their heads.

Although this young man looks very ordinary, his skin and face are absolutely attractive. Most of the passers-by who turn around are young women.

"Alas, what a pity for such a handsome young man." Many people sighed secretly when they saw the young man's slightly demented face.

In fact, the young man was not demented, but he was too focused on listening or thinking about the problem. He didn't notice that his image had been ruined by himself, but he didn't care about it at all, even if he heard these words , and he won’t do anything extreme.

What he pursued was kendo. Everything else gave way to kendo.

He continued to be in this state for many days in a row. Almost all the residents around him knew about such a young man. Some people even came here to observe. Unfortunately, they found that the children here did not seem to be much better. The only normal person was Fu Sheng, so his curiosity gradually faded away.

"Look, this young man is here again." On the window sill on the second floor of the restaurant, a middle-aged man looked regretfully at the young man on the street, "It's just a pity."

I don't know what he regrets.

The young man was still the same as usual today, but he frowned more often because he could no longer hear the sound of sword theory. People were talking more about Aozong's recruitment of disciples. Bauhinia City as a As the most prosperous city, the center of Bauhinia Mansion, Nameless Mountain Region, Maguan Plain and other places is naturally the most suitable place for major sects to recruit disciples. Not only Ao Sect, other sects will also choose to recruit disciples here. It’s just that , it seems that Aozong is the only sect recruiting disciples this time, and the time for other sects to recruit disciples has not yet come.

"It will start in two days. I don't know how many people from our Zijin Mansion will be lucky enough to join Aozong this time."

"Ten years ago, it seemed that thirteen people joined Aozong. Gee, you must know that more than one hundred thousand people signed up at that time."

"Yes! These 100,000 people all signed up because they had confidence in themselves. They are all good, and only a handful of them fish in troubled waters. But those thirteen people can stand out among the 100,000 people. It can only be said that they are talented. Of course!"

"How many people can pass this time? Why don't we make a bet? I guess there should be no more than ten."

"No, that's not the case. We still have a lot of good seedlings in the Zijin Mansion. The eldest lady of the Yang family, Yang Qian, the young master Yue Kun of the Yue family in Dongcheng, Li Guang, the heir to the upstart Li family who emerged more than a hundred years ago, and many more. Aren’t they all geniuses?”

"But they may not all go to Aozong to sign up. After all, Aozong is not the only sect in the world."

Amidst the discussion of these people, Yi Chen gradually came back to his senses and suddenly realized that there were only a few days until Aozong recruited disciples to sign up. He felt a little ashamed that he, as a mentor, had not fulfilled his duties. During the day, I have been busy with my own affairs, and basically I have not bothered with their cultivation and training.

"Hurry back and take a look." Yi Chen raised his legs and walked back.

"Eh...that boy...could it be that I'm dazzled?" One person clearly saw the flicker of guilt on Yi Chen's face. He couldn't help but wiped his eyes and found that Yi Chen's shadow was no longer visible. He laughed at himself: "I am indeed dazzled."
