Chapter 6: Sensations

Although Ye Xuan currently possesses only the strength of three bulls, even a dozen strong men would not be his match. To take action and kill is as easy as lifting a finger. It is precisely for this reason that Ye Xuan understands the meaning of Lu Jie’s words even more clearly

It is precisely for this reason that Lu Jie takes special care of himself and Lu Xin

When Ye Xuan came to his senses, he found that Lu Ren, Lu Quan, and the others had already left completely, leaving only Lu Xin, Lu Jie, and Ye Xuan in this courtyard.

Taking advantage of the abundant spiritual energy, Ye Xuan practiced the Mountain and River Technique to absorb this energy to nourish his meridians and foundation. However, this time he did not experience a rapid increase in strength, nor did he even gain a single ounce of power.

After all, Lu Jie did not marry or have children, and his relationship with Lu Jun was very good. Naturally, he regarded Lu Xin and Lu Li as his own daughter and son. Now that someone has harmed his daughter and attempted to cripple his son's cultivation, Lu Jie has already shown restraint by not taking action, considering that they are all members of the Lu family.

According to Lu Li's memory, Ye Xuan knew that Lu Ren and Lu Jie were half-brothers with the same father. Lu Ren was born of the first wife of Lu Jie's father, while Lu Jie, along with Lu Xin and Ye Xuan, who played the role of Lu Li's father Lu Jun, were born of the second wife. As for Lu Yi, whom Ye Xuan is currently to address as Third Uncle, he was born of the third wife.

The Xuanwu Palace, founded by this master, has not been lost to the annals of history. With thousands of years of inheritance and accumulation of profound depth, it has now become the true sacred ground of martial arts, representing the martial lineage among the four schools of Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, and martial arts on the Tianyuan Continent, and is renowned alongside the Tianjian Sect as a giant in the realm of martial arts

It is important to note that the difficulty involved here is no less than creating a new swordsmanship technique. Throughout history, such feats have only been accomplished by those grand masters who establish their own schools.

The old man and the young girl talked until the third watch of the night, and only then did Ye Xuan, still feeling unsatisfied, take Lu Xin back to his courtyard.

"Lu Jie, you dare to ruin my grandson's cultivation, I will fight you to the end!" Lu Quan looked at his grandson, who had already collapsed on the ground, his face flushed red. He had only this one grandson, who, although not exceptionally gifted, had been carefully nurtured for many years. At this moment, seeing him lose all his cultivation, how could he not feel heartbroken?

"Haha, Second Uncle knows that you are exceptionally talented, but you simply lack opportunities." Lu Jie laughed heartily, the murderous intent around him vanishing without a trace. "However, there's no need for you to transcribe it. The martial arts path is far more complex than you imagine. Although you have glimpsed some flaws in the Listening Wind Sword Technique, you did not exert your energy during your practice just now, let alone channel it in the future. Therefore, you are still unaware of the profound depths of the Listening Wind Sword Technique."

Although the relationship between the brothers is relatively harmonious, if Lu Jie truly becomes angry, Lu Ren will certainly be unable to contain him. Therefore, it is only natural to stop Lu Quan.

"Hmph, using techniques without relying on internal energy is truly vicious!" Upon hearing Lu Xin's words, Lu Jie let out a cold snort, "If I had known earlier, I should have killed both of them, the grandfather and grandson, just now!"

Lu Jie stood proudly in place, his voice cold: "A bet must be honored. The wager just now was proposed by Elder Xing, so I am not in the wrong for acting this way"

Lu Jie merely let out a cold laugh, gestured with his left hand, and shouted: "Clear Wind!"

It is not an interrogative sentence, but a declarative one, which reveals Lu Jie’s arrogance

For the entire day at wwwhetushucom.com, Ye Xuan and Lu Xin remained in the courtyard of Lu Jie.

The Valley of Medicinal Kings possesses numerous precious prescriptions and medicinal materials, and it produces many miraculous elixirs; whereas the Tomb of Ten Thousand Weapons is the foremost smelting site in the world, with nearly all divine weapons and sharp instruments crafted by the artisans of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Weapons.

However, Ye Xuan truly found it impossible to articulate the incantation as well. It is important to note that his current identity is that of a fourteen-year-old child. If a fourteen-year-old child, upon first encountering the Wind Listening Sword Technique, were to completely refine this set of swordsmanship, which has its flaws and vulnerabilities, and also devise a new incantation to accompany it, that would be genuinely terrifying

If one were to employ the technique of internal energy, it would be possible to render Lu Xin unconscious with a single strike, without inflicting lethal harm, leaving her body weakened to a certain extent, unable to withstand a second blow. However, without using internal energy, Lu Quan's appearance is no different from that of a robust adult male, and while the repeated strikes would not injure Lu Xin's body, they would subject her to continuous torment from the pain of bruises.

This contemplation lasted until the early hours of the morning. When Ye Xuan reopened his eyes, he showed no signs of fatigue; instead, he appeared invigorated and extremely excited

Lu Xin, feeling somewhat fatigued both physically and mentally due to the torment endured, decided to borrow the guest room in Lu Jie's courtyard to rest

That battle was neither intense nor thrilling, yet it provided an opportunity to comprehend the essence of the Listening Wind Sword Technique, thereby correcting the errors in his practice of this swordsmanship.

Feeling the flow of spiritual energy within his body, Ye Xuan sighed helplessly: "Alas, it seems I must quickly find a good location with a ley line; otherwise, it will truly be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to break through to a higher level of strength in a short time. I wonder if there are any ley lines in the nearby mountains and rivers of Han Shui City at hetushucom.com."

Seeing that everyone had left, Ye Xuan hurriedly walked up to Lu Xin and said, "Sister, are you alright?"

Thus, when Ye Xuan saw the Qingfeng Sword in Lu Jie’s hand, he could not help but feel somewhat surprised. However, despite his surprise, Ye Xuan could tell that this Qingfeng Sword could at most be classified as a human-level weapon. As for its exact grade, it was difficult for Ye Xuan to determine without the sword being drawn, but he thought it unlikely to be above grade three, as he had not heard of the name inscribed on the sword sheath.

Lu Xin's entire cultivation was rendered useless, and he would never be able to practice martial arts again in his lifetime. This act by Lu Jie can be described as extremely ruthless

A powerful suction erupted from Lu Jie’s hand, and a long sword placed on the stone table was immediately drawn to him, held steadily in his grasp. The expressions of those present changed to one of unease upon witnessing Lu Jie summon the Qingfeng Sword. In a moment of urgency, Lu Ren quickly stepped forward to block Lu Quan, casting a wary glance at the Qingfeng Sword in Lu Jie’s hand, fully aware that Lu Jie was serious this time.

Listening to Lu Jie, Ye Xuan said nothing further, merely smiling. He could naturally discern the implications in Lu Jie's words. After the combination of the Listening Wind Sword Technique and the Tidal Sea Sword Technique, the application of energy and breath had indeed changed. Relying solely on the formula of the Listening Wind Sword Technique was insufficient for its execution. Therefore, even if he were to share these so-called "insights" with Lu Jie, it would be of no use, as he could not perform them.

In a fit of rage, disregarding the severe injuries on his body, he unexpectedly resolved to get up and fight fiercely against Lu Jie.

In the courtyard, Lu Jie was meticulously guiding Ye Xuan. Although Ye Xuan's strength before his reincarnation far surpassed that of Lu Jie and others, making such guidance seemingly unnecessary, he was indeed not as proficient in the Listening Wind Sword Technique as Lu Jie, a congenital master who had immersed himself in it for decades. Lu Jie had reached a level of understanding that allowed him to analyze everything, and he even inferred several moves from the Tide Sea Sword Technique through this understanding, showcasing extraordinary swordsmanship.

The two great sacred places of this day are the Valley of the Medicine King and the Tomb of Ten Thousand Soldiers

If Lu Li could become a master-level figure at the age of fourteen, his strength would have already surpassed the innate level

After sending Sister Lu Xin back to her room, Ye Xuan returned to his own room and then closed his eyes, silently digesting everything he had learned from Lu Jie that day. He also reflected on the details of his encounters with Lu Xin.

Being able to hear Lu Jie explain his valuable experiences regarding the Listening Wind Sword Technique is undoubtedly beneficial for Ye Xuan's cultivation of this technique

The Medicine King Valley and the Ten Thousand Soldiers Tomb are alike, with the elixirs and weapons produced categorized into three levels: Heaven, Earth, and Man, each level further divided into nine grades, with the ninth grade being the strongest and the first grade the weakest. However, even a first-grade weapon at the Man level is significantly stronger than the various grades of swords and weapons found in the mundane world.

Seeing Lu Xin lying on the ground, completely fainted from the pain, the people around him wore expressions of shock

Listening to Lu Jie, Ye Xuan felt a warm sensation in his heart, a feeling he had never experienced before: "Second Uncle, I will organize my insights on the Listening Wind Sword Technique shortly and then transcribe a copy for you."

Lu Li, you need not worry. From now on, just focus on your cultivation. If there is anything you do not understand, feel free to ask me. It is no matter if you do not go to the Lu family's martial arts hall. " After a cold snort, Lu Jie looked at Ye Xuan with eyes full of affection, "It is a pity that Xin'er cannot practice martial arts; otherwise, she would not have to suffer. However, I believe that after this incident, no one in the Lu residence will dare to act against you again! As long as Second Uncle is here, even if the sky falls, I will support you!" However, I believe that after this incident, no one in the Lu residence will dare to act against you again! As long as Second Uncle is here, even if the sky falls, I will support you!

At this moment, Ye Xuan's gaze also fell upon the Qingfeng Sword, carefully examining this treasured blade that originated from the Tomb of Ten Thousand Weapons

Even though Ye Xuan has lived for such a long time in this world and has heard countless secrets, he is aware that among the many masters and ancestors who established sects throughout history, the youngest one only founded the Xuanwu Palace at the age of thirty-five

"It's nothing," Lu Xin shook her head, "When Elder Lu Quan hit me, he didn't use any energy, so it doesn't count as a problem"

Although the reputations of these two great sacred places are well-known, very few people are aware of their actual locations. While both the Medicine King Valley and the Ten Thousand Soldiers Tomb have disciples training outside, they never interfere in the internal affairs of any country or the disputes among sects, maintaining a stance of detachment.

However, seeking the miraculous elixirs of the Valley of the Medicine King, or the divine weapons of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Soldiers, is by no means an easy task

This thirty-five years does not refer to someone like Ye Xuan, who has grown anew after seizing another's body, but rather to someone who has truly achieved such accomplishments in just thirty-five years of a single lifetime.

With a benevolent smile, Lu Jie’s expression appeared extremely proud and satisfied: "Just now, when I saw your few sword movements, I knew that the way you harness your energy and focus cannot be achieved merely through the incantations of the Listening Wind Sword Technique. Therefore, even if you were to tell me, it would be of no use, as it lacks the coordination of the incantations. However, from your recent swordplay, I have gained some insights, and I believe my realm should be able to ascend to a higher level, all thanks to you, Li'er."

Ye Xuan also understood that Lu Xin was merely an ordinary person, lacking the aptitude for cultivation. Her physical constitution was naturally much weaker compared to those who practiced martial arts. To borrow a phrase Ye Xuan often used, she was just a common mortal.
