Chapter 510 Chasing Waves
Mirror Lake in Jiangnan, Heishan Islands.

The Mirror Lake is sparkling, the tide is surging, and the waves are roaring.

It is late autumn. A cold wind blows across the lake, bringing with it a chill. Tall black trees that look like they were dotted with ink are swaying. The black leaves rustle in the wind, like the sound of a low flute, echoing in the loneliness of autumn.

On a cliff of a small island, Hua Wuying stood with a sword in his hand and his eyes closed.

His long hair fluttered in the wind, his linen clothes rustled, and a faint white mist lingered around him.

As he breathed in and out rhythmically, the white mist also went in and out of the acupoints of his body, swimming like a fish.

The next moment, Hua Wuying suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashed, he opened his mouth and sucked hard!
In an instant, all the spiritual white mist lingering around him was swallowed into his stomach, and his whole body actually swelled slightly, like a blown-up balloon.

But within a moment, the "qi" that caused his body to swell began to condense towards his chest and abdomen as his breathing became increasingly rapid.

His body quickly returned to normal, but his chest and abdomen were still bulging, as if he was pregnant for ten months!
Hua Wuying's face was very solemn. He raised his sword-holding hand and hit the acupoints all over the body with the hilt of the sword. His movements were as fast as lightning.

The next moment, a loud "gurgling" sound came from his lower abdomen, which sounded like the sound made by a person who was extremely hungry.

The breath that made his chest and abdomen swell began to quickly flow towards the fist-sized area in his lower abdomen!

At some point, another figure appeared behind Hua Wuying.

That's Hua Xiaolan.

She no longer wore the Miao clothing, but like every ordinary islander in the Montenegrin Islands, she put on the most common linen clothing.

She was still thin and pale, but her complexion was clearly much better.

At this time, Hua Xiaolan had a basket hanging on her back, which was filled with various herbs. She looked at Hua Wuying's back with a faint smile on her face.

Just as she slowly walked towards him, the breath condensed in Hua Wuying's chest and abdomen was finally compressed by him to his dantian in his lower abdomen.

In an instant, a gust of wind and air waves came out from his limbs and bones, and the common people cried out!
"what--"

Hua Wuying opened his arms, smiled, and let out a long, hearty roar.

"Wuying." Hua Xiaolan's smiling voice came from behind him: "Congratulations, you have broken through the sixth realm."

Hua Wuying smiled and turned around.

"Have you returned from collecting herbs?"

He looked into Hua Xiaolan's eyes: "How is it, any progress?"

Hua Xiaolan shook her head helplessly.

Hua Wuying sighed softly.

"Since we arrived here, it has been from summer to autumn, and now it is almost winter..."

He said slowly: "But Huo Yaer is still missing, and you haven't found the Nine-section Bell Grass. Even the legendary 'man-eating demon', there is no clue at all now."

"If this continues, I don't know when I can wait for the day to leave this place."

Hearing him say this, Hua Xiaolan also pursed her lips.

But in the end, she just raised her head and smiled slightly: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let me see how much stronger you have become after breaking through the sixth realm?"

After saying that, she took off the backpack and threw it aside.

Hua Wuying waved his hands helplessly: "Goodbye, Xiaolan, you are still weak. Even if Sect Leader Lin helps you to replenish your blood and energy, it will still cause too much harm to your body if you attack casually."

Hua Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him: "Why, do you look down on me?"

"No way." Hua Wuying said with a smile: "When you recover in the future, I will accompany you in any sparring you want."

"I do not care."

Hua Xiaolan tilted her head and gave a wicked smile: "I want to test your skills!"

After saying that, she waved her hand without caring whether Hua Wuying agreed or not. In an instant, blue and purple butterflies appeared out of thin air, waving their wings and flying towards Hua Wuying.

These butterflies are certainly not real objects. Their shapes are illusory and their shadows flicker. Although they float lightly, the star-like blue light they leave in their flight paths falls on the ground, causing the flowers and plants to wither and the mud and rocks to crack.

Hua Wuying was startled and did not dare to delay. With a clang, he drew his sword out of its sheath.

In an instant, the sound of a surge actually echoed amid the sound of the sword!

This... is the sword technique he created in recent months, the Wave Chasing Sword!
The people of Lingjing Sect practice the art of controlling water. In the past few months, Hua Wuying often stood on the top of the mountain and looked out from afar, watching the disciples of Lingjing Sect controlling water and even competing with each other.

The originally calm lake water, under their manipulation, turned into a weapon that was both hard and soft, and omnipotent. When it was soft, it could dissolve the most fierce attacks; when it was hard, it was hard enough to penetrate rocks and crack monuments. It changed in countless ways without a fixed pattern, but it could always be done as one wished.

Isn't this the most perfect form of swordsmanship?

After several months of observation, Hua Wuying had some inspiration. He incorporated his understanding of the art of controlling water into his sword moves and created a set of wave-chasing sword techniques.

Facing the butterfly flying towards him, he slowly handed over the sword.

The sword was moved very slowly, with the front end of the sword swaying rhythmically back and forth, as if striking the waves in the water. Although it was moving slowly and steadily, it was full of force, stirring up a heavy wind and making a splashing sound like waves.

The wind was like waves, hitting the butterflies.

In an instant, all the butterflies were scattered!

Before the sword touched them, they had already disintegrated and disappeared one by one in the "wave", turning into specks of blue light and dissipating in the wind.

Seeing this, Hua Xiaolan's eyes lit up.

"Your swordsmanship..."

She looked delighted: "Done?"

"It's done." Hua Wuying smiled and said, "But it's only a small success. The sword technique is unfathomable. Even Master is still constantly improving and studying it. I... still have a long way to go."

As they were talking, a male voice as gentle as jade suddenly came from not far away.

"Brother Hua, your comprehension is indeed excellent."

The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Lin Wangshu, the leader of Lingjing Sect, who was walking leisurely from not far away with his hands behind his back.

His gaze lingered on Hua Wuying, and he smiled and said, "After observing my Lingjing Sect's water control technique for a few months, you were able to create a set of excellent sword techniques. This sword technique has unlimited potential. Over the years, you will surely become a master of sword techniques in the martial arts world."

Seeing Lin Wangshu coming, Hua Wuying quickly put away his sword, took a few steps forward, and bowed to him: "Master Lin, you are here."

Hua Xiaolan was much calmer. She stood beside Hua Wuying and nodded casually as a greeting.

"how?"

Lin Wangshu said softly, "Do you two still want to... use the spells on your bodies to find out where Huo Yaer went today?"

This is exactly the idea Hua Wuying proposed before.

Before that, Huo Yaer left a witch spell on them, claiming that "if her soul dissipates, they will both die together."

With the help of this spell, Lin Wangshu was able to cast a spell to track the source of the spell power on the two of them, so as to determine Huo Yaer's approximate location.

But... Huoyal's sense of smell is also extremely sensitive.

Even though Lingjingmen knew her approximate location and sent people there as quickly as possible, they could only find some traces in the end, but could not find the small eyeball in which she resided.

The next time, she changed her place again...

This has been the case for several months and several searches.

"Um……"

Hua Wuying nodded and said, "Master Lin, try again. If it doesn't work, I may have another way."
