Natural Fairy Species

Chapter 118: Progress in Swordsmanship

The sound wave exploded, and a white sword light pierced the sky. Several geese were so startled that they quacked and flew out crookedly.

 The peaks were left behind by the white sword light, flying hundreds of miles in one breath before stopping.

 “It’s so refreshing that you can feel like you’re entering and exiting the underworld, being struck by lightning and running towards the stars…”

Bai Zichen felt very happy, and the speed advantage of the second-level flying sword was undoubtedly revealed.

 I secretly estimated in my mind that if the Yinzhu Sword is activated with all its strength, the flying speed will be about three times that of the Caiwen Baiyunpei.

In short-distance racing, Yinzhu Sword can throw away most flying auras in an instant.

“It’s this Yinzhu sword. Isn’t it too high-profile..."

 When the Yin Bamboo Sword flies, as long as the speed reaches the extreme, it will be accompanied by the jade sound.

If you want to use this sword for a sneak attack, there is no need to think about it.

Bai Zichen flew six hundred miles towards the Qingniu Valley, hoping to find a second-level monster to practice with.

But I searched hard, but I couldn't find one.

　　咻!

The bright sword light pierced the ground, penetrated the soil and hit the target. There was only a muffled sound, and the Yinzhu Sword had returned to his hand.

 A layer of green liquid seeped out of the ground, along with traces of poisonous smoke.

 The ground surface was lifted up again with a sword, revealing a poisonous scorpion the size of a calf. The sword hole on the scorpion's back was as thin as a finger and penetrated its body.

"The sand scorpion at the top of the first level has poison glands, a pair of claws and a hard shell that can be used to refine magic weapons... The mosquito legs are also meat, so let's keep them first."

I currently have no spiritual stones, and my sect still owes several thousand in contribution. I am practicing the Fire Dragon Guiyuan Jing and is a big spender on spiritual stones, so I can't feel confident.

Bai Zichen humbly put on the Demon Suppressing Peach Wood Sword and peeled off all the useful materials from the Sand Scorpion.

 Thinking about it, I found a low-grade storage bag and emptied the contents, specifically for placing monster materials.

 As the land reclamation war progresses, he will inevitably harvest such materials continuously.

“The frequency of the appearance of second-order monsters will increase as you move forward, and you may even be unlucky enough to bump into a third-order monster king…”

Bai Zichen turned his sword around, there was no need to put himself in danger just to test his combat power.

  In any case, there are many opportunities to encounter second-level monsters in land reclamation wars.

It was a small test of the skill. I only used 30% of the mana, but I have already realized the mystery of Yinzhu Sword.

“When in the spirit-planting state, the Holy Sound Bamboo has the effect of slightly increasing mana... After it is refined into a flying sword, the effect is even more obvious.”

On the way back, Bai Zichen kept reducing his magic power, and the white sword light became weaker and weaker.

 All first-level monsters you encounter will be killed instantly with one sword.

 After using the sword many times, I can finally understand the specific effect of Yinzhu Sword.

 The mana increase is about 35%.

When Bai Zichen reduced his mana to one-thirtieth, the nearly non-existent bright white sword returned without success.

Ding!

 The yak in front of us is covered with thick armor bones from its head to its shoulder blades, like a natural shield.

 “Such a tough leather, just what I like!”

Bai Zichen was overjoyed, but was worried that he didn't have a suitable target to practice on.

This first-order peak yak has an astonishing defense. The Yinzhu Sword, which suppresses the mana strength, can only leave a dent on its armor bones at a time.

Moreover, in order to become familiar with the Yinzhu Sword, Bai Zichen did not take the initiative to look for weak points in the yak's defense. Instead, he fired at the strongest oracle bone sword light.

 It soon became apparent that this act of suppressing the sword light at an extremely weak boundary caused a considerable loss of spiritual consciousness.

One mistake, or the magic power will be unable to sustain, and the sword light will immediately disintegrate.

Either the sword light surges and kills the yak on the opposite side.

 Bai Zichen could clearly feel that maintaining the sword's light with his current mana was already his current limit.

 If the mana is even lower, it will not be able to sustain the sword light form.

  Unfold the sword skills learned in the Self-Enlightened Real Sword Jue one by one, control the strength of your hands, and make criss-crossing sword moves like stars.

Yak mooed angrily, but every time he wanted to take a step forward, he was forced back by the seemingly weak sword light.

After teasing the yak for half an hour, two more wolf demons passed by in the middle, and Bai Zichen, who was also happy to see the hunter, pulled them in with the sword light.

Gradually, Bai Zichen began to master the sword moves in his hands, and the sword moves changed from complicated and fancy to more and more concise.

Each sword light moves away as soon as it is touched, and the sword path in the middle goes straight without wasting a single trace of mana.

　　From the previous deliberate action, there is no trace of fireworks at the end.

 “Disease!”

Seeing that the three monster beasts were all scarred and their limbs were weak and about to collapse to the ground, the white sword light flashed.

An antelope hanging its horns, a sword move like a flying fairy from the sky, directly brought up three blood flowers, accompanied by the sound of three heavy objects collapsing to the ground.

 After Bai Zichen put away his sword, he stood still for a long time.

Scenes like this kind of sudden inspiration and breakthrough in battle are usually only seen in classics, but are too rare in reality.

What's more, he is not facing a breakthrough between life and death. He is just practicing swordsmanship with a few monsters that are far weaker than himself and getting familiar with the newly acquired flying sword.

 It can only be said that Bai Zichen's accumulation of swordsmanship has been profound enough, and this breakthrough is a matter of course.

“Now that I am accomplished in swordsmanship, I should be close to the perfection of the first level of swordsmanship mentioned by Xinghe Sword Master... If I go higher, I can try to move towards the second level of Sword Qi Leiyin.”

This time I went out to test the sword, not only did I completely master the Yinzhu Sword, but I also made a substantial breakthrough in the way of the sword.

 Put on the Demon-Suppressing Peach Wood Sword, and take out the most valuable materials such as the yak oracle bones and wolf demon fangs and put them away.

As for this pile of monster meat, all put together and sold by the pound, they are not worth a few spiritual stones.

Bai Zichen was too lazy to take it away. If he left it here, other monsters would come and take it away soon.

 …

"The fifth transfer station that was captured last month was finally recaptured. More than 20 sect disciples were killed, and the number of casual cultivators was several times that... Senior Brother Gu's guess that day was indeed verified. The farther the distance, the greater the pressure on logistical supplies. , there will definitely be mistakes.”

 Bai Zichen has the latest battle report in his hand, which was compiled by the General Affairs Office and sent to each elder.

In the past six months, with the three battle formations of Qingfeng Sect as the core of the sharp sword, supplemented by hundreds of family monks and thousands of casual cultivators, they have made a solid advance towards Feiyue Lake.

Along the way, countless monsters were killed, and more than thirty second-level monsters were killed.

But now the team has entered the very depths of Black Mountain, starting from Qingfeng Gate, which is more than 4,000 miles away.

The number of monsters has increased dramatically, and a second-level monster can appear from any mountain.

As the war escalates, even a lineup of thirty foundation-building monks and more than three thousand Qi-refining monks cannot take care of the overall situation.

Just last month, the fifth transfer station that had just been built was attacked by a group of fire lions that broke through the protective formation, resulting in heavy casualties.

 The most important thing is that without this transfer station, the supply resources transported from behind cannot be smoothly transported to the front line.

The army could only turn around and wipe out the group of monster beasts headed by five second-level flaming golden lions again.

 Coming and going, it took another two months.

"The second recruitment has begun, and another four hundred family monks and a thousand casual cultivators have been reorganized... Even within the sect, the inner disciples have been formed into a patrol team to guard the space between the first and second transfer stations. order."

Bai Zichen went out a few days ago and clearly felt that the number of disciples in the sect was much smaller.

Even Cai Heng, one of the handyman disciples around him, was selected and included in a new batch of wars, and will rush to the front line next month.

It can be said that except for the indispensable production monks, anyone may be assigned to join the torrent of land reclamation war.

Qingfeng Sect has sent out Fengxing Shuttle, which patrols between the five transfer stations day and night.

 It can not only transport supplies, but also provide immediate support when a transfer station is attacked.

　　Not only the fifth transfer station was attacked, each one faced endless monsters emerging from the vast black mountains.

 It’s just that the deeper you go, the greater the pressure.

"At each transfer station, the sect has arranged for an elder to sit in charge, and each wind shuttle is also accompanied by an elder... plus the ten people on the front line, there are at least 20 elders running on both sides of the sect and the front line. "

Bai Zichen made a simple calculation and knew the current manpower shortage in the land reclamation war.

 It is estimated that it will not be long before it is his turn.

 As a newly promoted elder, he does not have any responsibilities. He has spent almost a year safely in the sect.

“The five-crystal glazed body on the second level is still a bit lacking. Give me a little more time and I can get started…”

 Last time I visualized it, the glazed red jade in the sea of ​​consciousness lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and it established a connection with the five-crystal divine iron. I almost thought it could truly condense into shape.

 Unfortunately, in the end, the success fell short.

“Uncle Bai, is it possible for you to do this for me? I have something important to report?”

Lu Song came to the outside of the bamboo house in the middle of the lake in a panic, saluted from a distance and asked.

"What happened?"

Bai Zichen was a little strange. After becoming an elder, he had all the sources of information at his disposal. Unless he summoned him, several servant disciples rarely came to see him on their own initiative.

Lu Song’s life in the past few years has been the most comfortable since he started cultivating immortality.

 With a spiritual place like Suoyuechi, all the sect's contributions can be replaced by cultivation elixirs, and there is no need to spend a lot of time on sect tasks.

 In a few years, he has successfully cultivated to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

 “Uncle Bai, our secret place...has been taken over by someone!”

Lu Song's thick eyebrows drooped, and he was completely at a loss what to do and extremely panicked.

“Tell me carefully, what does it mean that the secret realm has been occupied?”

Bai Zichen looked solemn and sat up straight.

The secret realm that Lu Song mentioned back then was, of course, always on his mind.

It's just that my cultivation went smoothly. After the foundation was successfully built, a lot of things happened, and it happened to hit the land reclamation war.

Lu Song himself, who was originally the most positive about this matter, felt the dawn of breaking through because his cultivation was no longer stagnant, and he became more patient.

"I just came back from the General Affairs Hall and saw Feng Xingsuo returning with a group of injured sect disciples... I met one of them, and while chatting with him, I found out that the blood wolves outside the secret realm had been wiped out by the land reclamation team. . And there is a first-class spiritual vein in that place, which will be awarded to meritorious casual cultivators after the war!"

Lu Song finally calmed down after being drunk by Bai Zichen, and was able to explain the matter clearly.

It turns out that the ancient secret land pointed to by the ink jade ring on Lu Song’s hand is between the third and fourth transfer stations.

The blood wolf pack coiled outside the secret realm was easily killed by the land reclamation team. After the war, it will become the home of a new casual cultivator family.
