Chapter 6, Frightened by Oneself

In fact, for that Fairy Zhu Ling, Jiang Sibai felt a sense of gratitude in his heart, as this "Luoyun Sword Technique" truly brought him much joy

Just prepare some food and send it over to me, I will stay here for one night tonight

Jiang Sibai remained unchanged towards him as always, saying: "Indeed, this time I will definitely be able to join the Immortal Sect, and then I will be a brother disciple with Qianjin!"

The areas traversed are vast stretches of wilderness, indicating that there are also many places between Baiyi and Jicheng that are blank and uninhabited.

As he subconsciously recited to his chest, the energy center in his chest smoothly absorbed a significant amount of primordial essence, leading to a sudden sensation of something being expanded deep within his chest

He said: "Young Master Xiaobai, what brings you here?"

This is different from the faint burning sensation at the dantian; it is a robust and vigorous warmth.

He might as well set off with the big white fox, but this fox prefers to follow the kitchen aunt as her dog

During the time when Jiang Sibai was studying casting, he was the one who pulled him along to learn and discuss together

He then drew the Fangzheng sword alone in the backyard and gracefully began to dance with the sword

He could also bring along the serving maid and servants, but he found their obsequiousness uninteresting; it was better to come alone and be more carefree.

He should not have set out on the road alone, as the old steward would never have allowed it; therefore, he got up early, left a letter, and departed.

This behavior is completely at odds with the nobility of this era, yet he acts with such capriciousness as if it were entirely justified

"Wait a moment, we agreed to sit quietly facing the morning sun, practicing breathing exercises to refine essence and transform energy. Am I practicing incorrectly?"

He is well aware of how exceptionally talented this young master is, while his own son is utterly dull and cannot compare to Jiang Sibai in the slightest

With unwavering focus, as she danced with the sword, Jiang Sibai's entire being gradually became vibrant and invigorated

Previously, he was too lazy to take it out, but now that he has promised to properly cultivate an acre of millet for his master, it is only natural that all the necessary tools must be in place

Old Han accepted the parchment and said, "Alright, young master, just give me one day!"

One may recall that the traveler on the road once said that refining essence into qi is best done at sunrise, and thus one does not dwell on it further

As a result, his originally graceful sword dance was thrown into disarray, and he had no choice but to come to a halt

Upon seeing Jiang Sibai, Old Han hurriedly dropped the iron ingot he was forging halfway and went in to greet him

It was just like when he first approached Old Han.

Aside from his somewhat controversial pursuit of the Dao in Chongxian, everything else is commendable

This was a great surprise for Jiang Sibai

Often, a country has only one city, while the others are mostly fiefs granted to nobles, scattered across the vast wilderness, marking the footprints of humanity's struggle against nature and the expansion of living space in this era

Because he is an honest person

They chatted for a while to reminisce, and then Jiang Sibai took out a piece of animal skin and said, "The main reason I came to find you, Old Han, is to ask you to craft these few items for me."

He greeted as soon as he entered

In this city, there are three blacksmith shops, two of which have royal backgrounds, and the one with the most distinguished status is the one that Jiang Sibai is currently visiting

At the same time, this can also be seen as an opportunity to showcase the talents of the young gentlemen to the immortal masters of the Luo Yun Fairyland, with the hope that they might be noticed.

Even with such a slow sword dance, he is able to gain many insights, which has even become the only diversion for Jiang Sibai in this monotonous life of the era

This is the refinement of essence into qi and books

He has seen too many things like getting possessed due to practicing martial arts incorrectly in his previous life, and he is somewhat frightened

At that moment, Jiang Sibai felt a surge of warmth settling in his chest

Jiang Sibai nodded slightly and then walked towards his residence in Jicheng

However, the immortal master at that time insisted on admitting his son Han Qianjin into the immortal sect, which left Jiang Sibai behind, causing this honest man to feel a deep sense of guilt

This sword is exceedingly ethereal and variable, and even the most basic sword techniques seem to possess a grand design, capable of numerous transformations

Recalling the words of the traveler on the road about refining essence into qi

Jiang Sibai can walk very quickly on his own

Thus, Jiang Sibai felt a sudden sense of panic and unease, his heart in turmoil, hoping that the Welcoming Immortals Conference would start and end as soon as possible, so that he could privately seek his master's advice on this matter

Jicheng is the capital of the Jiguo. Since Emperor Jiang Mingwu ascended the throne twelve years ago, he has been the ruler that the people of Jiguo have longed for.

Jiang Sibai was quietly contemplating the changes that had just occurred

Originally, he only regarded this as the effect of "health preservation techniques"; now, with the guidance of his master, he has come to understand that this is a manifestation of his abundant vital essence nourishing his entire body

The above illustration depicts the appearance of agricultural tools such as hoes, harrows, and sickles

He was supposed to have two guards, but he felt it unnecessary to waste food and money hiring people who were rarely needed.

Baiyi is fifty li away from Jicheng. If he were to travel with his family, it might take him an entire day, but now he only needs half a day to arrive.

This manifests as his body exudes hot sweat, and then it seems as if a ball of scorching flame is born within the dantian, burning fiercely in a spherical form.

Therefore, for him, this residence in Jicheng is ultimately just a place to rest, far less familiar than that of Baiyi.

The servants naturally did not dare to pry, but if such a sword dance were to catch the eye of that fairy from the Divine Sword Valley back then, how could he continue to linger in the mundane world

Jiang Sibai did not have much interaction with the servants of this residence; after finishing a meal in an orderly manner, he instructed the servants not to come to the backyard and disturb him

In this era, nations do not even have borders.

This is the fundamental sword technique of the Luo Yun Immortal Realm's Divine Sword Valley, known as 'Luo Yun Sword Technique'

Old Han, I have arrived

He left after dropping a single sentence

He said with a gentle smile

What is even rarer is that there is not a trace of worldly atmosphere in this, truly resembling an ethereal sword immortal, elusive and unpredictable

Indeed, it is once again the annual 'Welcome Immortals Conference' at san m.hetushu .com, and you, young master, are certainly expected to attend

After Jiang Sibai entered Jicheng, he did not return to the residence assigned to him, but instead went directly to a blacksmith shop in the city

He is a renowned swordsmith in Jicheng, and even Jiang Mingwu must treat him with great respect. However, in front of Jiang Sibai, he appears to be quite sycophantic

Jiang Sibai set off towards Jicheng alone, carrying only a sword and nothing else

Jiang Sibai could not help but want to make an attempt

The warmth radiating from below to the soles of the feet and soaring to the crown of the head allows Jiang Sibai to withstand the cold of early winter with just a single garment

This is indeed effortless for him

Because his understanding of swordsmanship is profound, and his strength and control are both exceptionally precise, his sword dance appears to embody a harmonious blend of rigidity and softness, filled with the beauty of power and skill

Tomorrow marks the day of the "Welcoming Immortals Festival," which will be held in the morning at the Ji City Palace. At that time, it will not only be a grand banquet for the guests but also a day for Prince Ji, Jiang Mingwu, to assess his offspring.

That sense of masculinity and fullness still lingered in his chest, making him feel as if he had undergone some changes, yet he could not articulate what those changes were

Upon entering, one is naturally greeted and attended to by stewards and servants, yet these individuals are all supported by the Jiang clan and belong to this estate rather than to him
