Chapter 268 – Xu Qi’an’s Mastery

Fortunately, Luo Yu Heng’s hallowed Second Grade Dao Head didn’t care much about Xu Qi’an’s petty concerns, and was even less interested in answering Chu Yuan Zhen’s question, her spiritually beautiful eyes looking at Xu Qi’an as she faintly said, “What is it.”

“I’ve encountered some difficulties in practicing the Heart Sword, so I ask the State Master to solve them.” Xu Qi’an said in a respectful voice.

“It is indeed difficult to get started with the Heart Sword,” Luo Yu Heng nodded and said, “Yuan Jian, help me guide Lord Xu, this seat is going to see His Majesty.”

Your Majesty? Is that awful old man, Emperor Yuan Jing, coming too …….. Dao head ah, my heart sword has already been initiated, I’m not asking you to teach me the nine-nine multiplication table, I’m asking you to teach me calculus ……. Xu Qi’an spat in his heart.

The reason why he didn’t say it was because Luo Yu Heng’s figure disappeared, the door didn’t open, the window didn’t open, and the woman just disappeared into the quiet room with her eyes open.

“What kind of divine ability is this?” Xu Qi’an was a little envious.

“It wasn’t a divine ability,” Chu Yuanjian shook his head, explaining, “That was originally a wisp of the Dao Head’s thoughts, and I just retracted it.”

The means of the high-grade powerhouse is like a god or a devil ah ……..

Xu Qi’an was able to come to Spiritual Treasure View today, mainly because Zhong Li that unlucky bastard had something to go back to Sitian Supervision, otherwise she who couldn’t get into Spiritual Treasure View was likely to meet with an accident in the Imperial City, no, a greater likelihood of having the Imperial City meet with an accident.

For example, the Spirit Dragon suddenly went berserk and wreaked havoc in the Imperial City.

During the time since Yunzhou returned to the capital, Xu Qi’an frequently went in and out of the Imperial City to investigate cases, but not once did he go to see the Spirit Dragon, the symbolism of this beast was too strong for the royal family, he did not dare to touch it.

Once Spirit Dragon was seen to have become Xu Qi’an’s licking dog, and word spread, he was afraid that his head would not be saved.

“It is indeed harder to get started with the Heart Sword, after all, martial artists are not good at the Yuan Shen domain …….” Chu Yuanjian was about to recount the mysteries of the Heart Sword, but he had just opened his mouth to say half a sentence when he was interrupted by Xu Qi’an.

“Brother Chu, I’m sorry for making you misunderstand.” Xu Qi’an said haughtily, “I’ve already started with the Heart Sword.”

Chu Yuanzhuan nodded, not caring, and asked, “How long have you been practicing the Heart Sword?”

Xu Qi’an looked back for a moment, “Ten days or so.”

Chu Yuanjian froze, gazing and scrutinizing Xu Qi’an, and said gently, “Don’t say anything funny.”

Ten days of Heart Sword initiation, what level of Yuan Shen must this be? Even disciples who practiced Taoist heart techniques would not dare to say that they could be initiated in ten days.

“Mister Xu never lies.” Xu Qi’an smiled.

“Brother Xu’s talent astounds me, it would be a pity not to cultivate the Human Sect’s method.” Chu Yuanzhuan was surprised.

Don’t, don’t ever generate such thoughts, or else the human clan will have to curse: Xu Pingzhi is not the son of a human being.

My second uncle is so innocent.

……….

Chu Yuanjian is a proud and introverted person, he has the bones of a scholar and the uninhibitedness of a swordsman, but these are never revealed between words.

Compared to the arrogant Er Lang, the fourth is more like a social person with rich experience …… Xu Qi An secretly said.

Of course, well-read members of society may not be calm and introverted, Xu Qi’an himself is an example, understand the human world, but still like to mouth high, still the penguins like when the charging teenagers, the past life has not changed.

“What difference does Brother Chu think there is in the teaching departments throughout the Dafeng?”

Obviously it was a very serious and proper sermon, Xu Qi An suddenly asked a question, and Chu Yuan Jian continued to answer truthfully despite some confusion:

“After abandoning my literary monasticism, I have not stayed overnight in the Churchyard.”

The subtext is: old man abstinence.

Shortly afterward, Xu Qi’an asked again, “The period of the Dao Discourse is approaching, what does Brother Chu think of Li Miaozhen of the Heavenly Sect?”

Chu Yuanjian mused, “Chivalry and righteousness, Chu Mou admires it.”

Numbnuts, no cracks at all ah ……. Xu Qi’an smiled, “Let’s continue.”

But it wasn’t long before Xu Qi’an annoyingly interjected again, “Brother Chu, the State Master, she suffered from karmic torment, are you suffering from similar torment?”

Chu Yuanzuan was stunned, “You know this too?”

The …… witty Xu Qi An hurriedly patched up, “Wei Gong talked to me about it.”

In this way, Wei Yuan did cultivate him with great care and regarded him as his beloved ……. Chu Yuanjian nodded, accepting this explanation and considering it reasonable.

After all, Number One had once said that this person Xu Qi’an was deeply appreciated by Wei Yuan.

“I only cultivate the Human Sect’s Sword Technique, but not the Heart Technique.”

“What do you mean?” Xu Qi’an didn’t understand.

“If judged by the system of a martial artist, I’m at the God Refining Realm. However, I majored in the Human Sect’s Heart Sword, Qi Sword, and Royal Sword Technique.”

“So how do you advance? What’s the next rank?”

The three sword arts were means of defeating the enemy, not the root of the system, which meant that Chu Yuanzheng was not actually following the Taoist system, and was rooted in the martial artist system, majoring in the Human Sect’s sword techniques.

“I don’t know.”

Chu Yuanjian himself is very free, take a step and look at the appearance of a step: “The road is ahead, and walk is.”

“Let’s move on to the practical skills of the heart sword ……..”

At first, the lecture was about the Heart Sword, and gradually, Chu Yuanjian realized that Xu Qi’an’s cultivation insights were very shallow, not at all like what a God Refining Realm should be like.

By the way, he is last October tax silver case after the entry to beat the night watchman, at that time he is refining essence realm ……… just half a year soared to become a seventh grade martial artist, the talent is exceptionally terrible …….. Chu Yuanjian recalled Xu Qi’an’s information.

When he thought of this, his heart was on fire, and he said, “Talking on paper is boring, Brother Xu, why don’t we have a sparring session.”

He liked to cross paths with geniuses in order to better observe and draw on each other’s strengths.

Xu Qi’an thought about it and felt that this was an opportunity to feel out number four, so he immediately nodded, “Alright, brother Chu remember to be merciful.”

………

On the other side, Emperor Yuan Jing and Luo Yu Heng were sitting opposite each other, with steaming tea on the table between them.

“The little one from the Heavenly Sect is coming to the capital, does Chu Yuanzhuan have the certainty to defeat her.”

Emperor Yuan Jing took a sip of the hot tea, the curling steam blurring his face.

“Hard to say!”

Luo Yuheng was holding tea in his hand, his expression clear and cold, “Although Li Miaozhen is a fifth grade, it is highly likely that she will take this opportunity to step into the fourth grade YuanYing realm, and it is hard to predict the victory or defeat if Chu YuanJin doesn’t draw his sword.”

“Regardless, they are extremely colorful juniors. It’s been a long time since my Da Feng had a young man worthy of my attention.” Emperor Yuan Jing lamented.

“What does Your Majesty mean by that, Chu Yuanzhen was the top scholar of the twenty-seventh year of Yuanjing.” The woman state master let out a light laugh.

Emperor Yuan Jing shook his head, Chu Yuanjian abandoned the official body, became a white, jianghu ranger, has long been out of the imperial court to deploy.

Strangely enough, in the past ten years, not only has Da Feng’s national power been declining, but even its talents have been getting fewer and fewer, especially in recent years, Emperor Yuan Jing hasn’t encountered a descendant that satisfies him for a long time.

“How does the State Master plan to deal with that Heavenly Sect Dao Head?” Emperor Yuan Jing turned to ask.

Of course he wouldn’t purposely come to find Luo Yu Heng because of Li Miaozhen’s matter, what Emperor Yuan Jing was worried about was the ensuing Heavenly Man Controversy.

“In the last Heavenly Man Contest, the Head of Heavenly Sect Dao had not yet stepped into the First Grade Realm, and your father fought with him without a victory.” Emperor Yuan Jing said quietly.

As he said these words, his gaze sharply stared at Luo Yu Heng’s clear and unassuming features, the implication was very obvious.

Dual cultivation is a good thing that is mutually beneficial, and is by no means an evil art of harvesting that benefits only one party.

Luo Yu Heng wanted to soar in a short period of time, there was no other way but to double cultivate with him.

Just then, a strong Qi fluctuation suddenly swirled up, startling Emperor Yuan Jing and Luo Yu Heng.

There’s someone fighting inside Spirit Treasure Watch?

Emperor Yuan Jing encountered such a situation for the first time.

Luo Yu Heng gazed and sensed for a moment and smiled helplessly.

“State Master, what’s going on?” Emperor Yuan Jing frowned.

“It’s Chu Yuanzhuan who is fighting Xu Qi’an.” Luo Yu Heng replied.

Hearing the words “Xu Qi An”, Emperor Yuan Jing was confused for a moment, not understanding how that little gong appeared in Ling Bao Guan, and how it became entangled with Ling Bao Guan.

Luo Yu Heng explained, “The jutsu this son cultivates is somewhat special, Wei Yuan led him to the Guan to beg for sword skills, so I taught him a move and a half.”

Wei Yuan was successively dumped by his own rewarded gong and the State Master.

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded, accepting this explanation, gazing and sensing for a moment, he was a bit surprised, “Xu Qi’an was able to fight Chu Yuanjian so fiercely?”

Luo Yu Heng happened to be tired of him pestering about dual cultivation several times, and immediately proposed, “If your majesty is interested, you might as well follow Poor Tao over to watch the battle.”

Emperor Yuan Jing thought for a moment, “Good.”

The two of them walked out of the tea room side by side, through a garden and two long, winding corridors to the other end of the Spirit Treasure View, and from afar, they saw Xu Qi’an and Chu Yuanzhuan in a heated battle in the small garden.

Ding ding ding!

The black and gold long sword in Xu Qi’an’s hand danced impermeable, constantly high on the branches that flew to stab him, and every time it collided, it would stir up a muffled thunderous sound and explode ripples of qi like a wild tide.

More than a dozen branches were interspersed and flying in the garden, attacking Xu Qi’an from all angles, Chu Yuanjian stood on the wigwam with his arms folded, smiling and nodding his head from time to time, seemingly very appreciative of Xu Qi’an’s battle prowess.

But really, he was more surprised inside.

Although he had only performed the Sword Royal Art, in the midst of such a large number of “flying swords” surrounding him, he was able to methodically hold out until now without revealing any flaws, so it was hard to imagine that he was a martial artist who had just entered the Spirit Refining Realm.

This meant that the other party’s Yuan Shen was unexpectedly powerful.

Chu Yuanzhan was somewhat convinced that he had first glimpsed the doorway of the Heart Sword in only ten days.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked at this scene with dismay, in his impression, Xu Qi’an had always been nothing more than a minor character who could solve crimes, from the time of the tax and silver case, Emperor Yuan Jing had heard of him, and at that time, he was still a fast worker in the Changle County’s arresting squad.

And then after experiencing a series of big cases such as the Sang Po case, this son climbed higher and higher, and his abilities were recognized by him, but these had nothing to do with battle prowess. In Emperor Yuan Jing’s realization, Xu Qi’an was a fastidious man who had risen to prominence by investigating cases.

Today, the sudden sight of him fighting soundly with Chu Yuanjian caused Emperor Yuanjing to be dismayed.

The degree of surprise was like seeing a scholar who had been cultivating his books in the Hanlin Academy, suddenly carrying a zhangbazi snake spear into battle to kill the enemy.

“Master of the State …..”

Emperor Yuan Jing looked at the courtyard and couldn’t help but say, “This Xu Qi’an’s cultivation, how is it?”

“God Refining Realm!” Luo Yu Heng said indifferently.

God Refining Realm ……. Emperor Yuan Jing nodded his head indistinctly, from his perspective, a God Refining Realm martial artist was mediocre and not even worthy of his attention.

However, it’s not bad for a fast player from Longleaf County to step into this realm in just half a year.

However, with Chu Yuanjian’s pearl in front of him, Xu Qi’an’s achievement appeared dim, especially now, the two of them were competing in the courtyard, with one side in the clouds and one side tired of dealing with it.

The highs and lows are immediately apparent.

“The Human Sect’s swordsmanship is unrivaled in the world, and this kind of divine tactics is so easy to use to tease martial artists.” Emperor Yuan Jing sighed.

“Xu Yinluo isn’t bad either, his majesty earlier said that there are no rising stars in the Da Feng court, I see this Xu Yinluo as a dragon phoenix among men.” Luo Yu Heng laughed.

It was good that she didn’t say this, Emperor Yuan Jing heard it in his ears and saw it in his eyes, and felt more and more that Chu Yuanjing was gifted and Xu Qi’an had become a green leaf to accompany her.

Emperor Yuan Jing frowned, “The means are too scarce, didn’t the State Master say that he had taught Xu Qi’an the sword technique?”

He wasn’t too happy with Xu Qi’an’s performance.

“What the poor Taoist has passed on to him is the Heart Sword, the Human Sect’s sword techniques are arcane, and even if one is initiated, it’s not something that can be done overnight.” Luo Yu Heng replied.

“After all, it was poorly done …….”

Emperor Yuan Jing shook his head, and in his heart, he had a more intuitive understanding of Xu Qi’an’s talent, better than average and far from a true genius.

……..

At this moment, Xu Qi’an, who was caught in the sword formation, was doubly pressurized, and dozens of tree branches were like sharp flying swords, wrapped in qi and whistling.

Already at the God Refining Realm, he was able to capture all the hostile and killing intent around him and automatically feed it back into his mind.

But it was hard to beat four hands with two fists, and no matter how sharp his spiritual sense was, it was ultimately two arms and a sword, so he was a bit unable to cope with it.

“So the next grade is copper skin and iron bones, specializing in dealing with sieges ……. The martial system is still really synonymous with individual greatness …….”

Xu Qi’an had a deeper understanding of the Wufu system, each grade, was making up for a shortcoming, if someone could step into the Wushu God realm, I’m afraid that if they raised their eyes to the world, they would be invincible.

Thumbs up …..

A branch went through Xu Qi’an’s armpit and ripped through his poor suit.

There are more and more such leaks as time goes on.

For the dilemma at hand, Xu Qi’an had no less than three ways to deal with it, the first being the last of the three or six stratagems.

The second is to use the Confucian version of the grimoire, which records several spells that specialize in dealing with sieges.

The third was to disregard his own injuries, and use a round of Heaven and Earth One Blade Slash on Chu Yuanzhan.

But it’s just a sparring match, the first two methods are unnecessary, and the latter is a life-fighting move, and after using it he’ll be wasted, and just as likely to lose the original purpose of the sparring match.

“Not right ah, the qi running no matter how mellow, flying sword steering time, there will be inertia …….. But number four’s flying sword running like a will, completely against the laws of physics, Newton old man do not want to face it ……. Oh, this matter does not belong to Newton …….”

Xu Qi’an pondered for a moment, a guess in his heart.

He swept away the six branches stabbing at him from the front and condensed his spiritual energy, attaching it to the long black and gold blade.

Whirling around, swinging, the dark golden blade slammed into the stabbing branch, and in the moment of collision, Xu Qi’an blessedly comprehended the technique of utilizing Explosive Scattering Spiritual Power.

Buzz ……. The invisible thought power spreads, radiating in a fan shape, wrapping the “flying swords” behind him.

Those branches stagnated slightly, and then, losing some kind of support, they fell helplessly.

It really works …… Xu Qi’an was happy in his heart, using the same method, waving a brush and splashing ink like splashing spiritual energy towards the front, cutting down the remaining “flying swords” as much as possible.

Thus, breaking through Chu Yuanzhan’s sword formation.

“How did you realize that the flying sword was attached to my thoughts?” Chu Yuanzhan was surprised.

Hoo Hoo ……

Because I have studied middle school physics properly …….. Xu Qi’an leaned on his sword, gasped, and looked at the scholar on the wigwam, “This is probably talent.”

Outside the courtyard, Emperor Yuan Jing nodded slightly and glanced sideways at Luo Yu Heng, seeing the woman’s state master’s absolutely beautiful face, a flash of shock flashed by.

“Master of the State?”

Luo Yu Heng retracted his gaze and exclaimed, “This son is incredibly talented.”

“What is the meaning of this statement?”

Emperor Yuan Jing rarely saw the State Master praising a junior in such a manner, and although she had praised Xu Qi’an just now, it was more of a polite gesture, whereas now it was an appreciation from the bottom of her heart.

This caused Emperor Yuan Jing to take some interest.

“As I said to Your Majesty earlier, I taught Xu Yinluo the method of the Heart Sword, and that was a decade ago.”

After Luo Yu Heng finished speaking, seeing that Emperor Yuan Jing had no feelings, he explained, “The threshold of the Heart Sword is extremely high, even if one is an outstanding disciple of the Human Sect, if one is initiated, it can be as long as half a year and as short as three months.”

With this explanation, Emperor Yuan Jing understood.

And Xu Qi’an only used it for a decade.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked at Chu Yuanzhuan on the rockery, “What about him?”

“Also practicing the Human Sect Sword Technique with the body of a martial artist, Chu Yuanzheng used one month.”

As soon as Emperor Yuan Jing heard this, the smile at the corner of his mouth just had a chance to spread, and then he heard Luo Yu Heng add, “One month, three sword techniques to be introduced at the same time.”

Emperor Yuan Jing was silent again, and at that moment, he heard Chu Yuanjian laugh, “What is your mastery?”

“My jutsu?” Xu Qi’an asked rhetorically.

“Well, from the beginning to the end, you haven’t shown your mastery, and without showing your hand, this sparring session would be too boring.” Chu Yuanzheng said.

“This ……” Xu Qi’an hesitated:

“Your fight with Li Miaozhen is imminent, and I’m afraid that if I accidentally injure you, it will affect the Celestials’ fight.”

These words were spoken with far too much arrogance, and Luo Yu Heng and Emperor Yuan Jing simultaneously averted their gazes from Scholar Lang and turned to Xu Qi An.
