Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 48 Leaving
When Xu Heng practiced in the past, he put a lot of emphasis on stopping and resting, fearing that he would go too far and damage his roots.

However, this time, I really couldn't hold it back. One practice lasted seven days and seven nights. When I came out of seclusion, I had already reached the fourteenth level.

Not long after he reached the 12th level of cultivation, he once again leaped to the 2nd level, and it only took seven days and seven nights, which is incredible.

However, Xu Heng also knew in his heart that half of it was the chance of having a "sip of water" with the Taoist, and the other half was the harvest of carrying water and fanning fire.

All these need to be subtracted before he can reach the state he should have been in, but even so, it is very gratifying.

However, Xu Heng didn't have time to rejoice for long. After leaving the seclusion, he washed up casually and changed into a Taoist robe. Before he could rest for a moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Xu Heng opened the door and saw that the yellow-faced Taoist boy was outside the door. He bowed very politely and said, "Brother, the time has come. It's time to carry water and fan the fire."

It was hard for Xu Heng not to doubt whether his seven days and seven nights of Qi refining was within Ge Hong's calculations.

Maybe they even pinched him at the right time when he came out of seclusion, as if to tell him to rest enough, and then called him to carry water and fan the fire, and gave him a lot of hard work...

But after thinking about it and doing it, Xu Heng went to the cold pool to get water, and fanned the fire diligently in the alchemy room for three days before returning to the room to practice Qi. Seven days and seven nights...

When the yellow-faced Taoist boy knocked on the door, Xu Heng's heart had calmed down. He intercepted his words and said, "Junior brother, let's go."

……

Xu Heng began the repetitive cycle of carrying water, fanning the fire, and practicing. Before he knew it, half a year had passed.

It is said that there are no years in the mountains, but Xu Heng three days, seven days, three days, seven days... it is difficult not to remember the time clearly.

It is said that Qingxiu is lonely and hard. Xu Heng did not feel lonely, but he actually experienced a lot of hardships.

Every time he carried water and fanned fire, he had to experience the torment of cold and heat, and even if Xu Heng improved his cultivation, the pain would not diminish at all, so that in the end, Xu Heng could endure it without changing his face.

Of course, as hard as this experience is, the rewards are real.

After Xu Heng carried water and fanned the fire for Ge Hong for the second time, he practiced Qi again for seven days and seven nights, and his cultivation level advanced to another level. After carrying water and fanning the fire for the third time, he also made the same progress...

After the fifth time, the progress slowed down a bit, but it was still gratifying. Every once in a while, there would always be another breakthrough.

What's even more rare is that Xu Heng can vaguely feel that his foundation has been being replenished and never stopped. This is the fundamental reason why he can continuously improve his cultivation.

Xu Heng gradually felt that there was nothing boring about the same practice life day after day, and he even felt vaguely happy in it.

At the end of the day, Ge Hong said, "The fire has reached the right temperature. From today on, there is no need to carry water to fan the fire."

Xu Heng felt somewhat disappointed after hearing this. He hung the palm leaf fan in a familiar place, then solemnly performed a half-master's salute to Ge Hong and said, "Thank you, Master Ge. I, Xu Heng, will take my leave now."

Counting as he became Qiao Cheng's disciple, he actually practiced longer with Ge Hong. Although compared with the long days ahead, it might be only a very short period of time, but it is not an exaggeration to treat him as a half-teacher.

Ge Hong closed his eyes tightly, and after a while he snorted softly from his nose and said, "Go."

Xu Heng then straightened his Taoist robe and walked out of the alchemy room.

The yellow-faced Taoist boy was not there that day, but Xu Heng was already familiar with the place and quickly returned to his temporary residence. Looking at the familiar furnishings, he couldn't help feeling lost. Although Ge Hong didn't give any instructions and didn't know when Qiao Cheng would arrive, Xu Heng knew in his heart that the time for him to leave was approaching.

Xu Heng sat and thought for a while, but did not start refining Qi. Instead, he took out the Mingwo Sword from his storage bag, found an open space, and slowly started practicing sword skills.

When he first came here, after Xu Heng carried water and fanned the fire, he always had to refine Qi for seven days and seven nights before he could digest it. Later, as his cultivation level improved, the time he spent refining Qi gradually became shorter.

But until the last time, it took three days and two nights, and the time was really not very generous. Xu Heng originally practiced spells and swordsmanship during his rest. Later, he discovered that there was a book collection on another peak, and he couldn't help but Flip through.

So he got out of control, and all his thoughts were focused on collecting books, but he hadn't practiced swordsmanship for a long time.

After a long time, Xu Heng practiced swordsmanship again. Although Xu Heng felt a little unfamiliar, he quickly picked it up. Gradually, there were some signs of breakthroughs.

Xu Heng thought of the sword of Taoist Liu from Qimingyuan, and felt as if he had touched the threshold, and suddenly thrust out with his sword!
There was a soft moan in the air, and Xu Heng felt that he seemed to have exerted his power through the tip of the sword, and reached a few feet away. He put the sword away and looked in that direction, and sure enough he saw an obvious sword mark on a tree. .

However, Xu Heng looked at the sword mark and shook his head.

He also didn't use any magic power or true energy, but his sword was still much worse than Liu Taoist's, but where was the difference...

Xu Heng was thinking about it when a voice suddenly came to his ears: "This sword only counts its shape. It needs to hold the essence and keep it intact. Not letting any part of it escape to other places, but putting it all into one sword is the essence."

"Hold the Yuan and guard it, don't let any of it escape elsewhere, and put it all into one sword?" Xu Heng was stunned for a moment, and without time to think about it, he turned around and said salute: "Disciple pays homage to my mentor."

"Yes." Qiao Cheng nodded lightly and asked, "Did Liu Zhiyuan teach you this sword?"

"Liu Zhiyuan?" Xu Heng guessed that this was Taoist Liu's name, so he agreed and told him everything about how Taoist Liu taught him a sword.

Qiao Cheng listened noncommittally and only said: "Liu Zhiyuan's swordsmanship has indeed been passed down, but what I want to teach you is not the method of sword cultivation."

Xu Heng's heart moved and he asked: "So, is it useless for the disciple to practice swordsmanship?"

Qiao Cheng glanced at him and said: "Swordsmanship is swordsmanship, and sword cultivation is sword cultivation. When you have achieved your magic, if you still want to learn swordsmanship, there are sword techniques in the sect that you can learn from."

Xu Heng said yes honestly, but Qiao Cheng started to think thoughtfully for a while and said after a while: "If you can practice superior swordsmanship, it can be regarded as a means of protecting the Tao. If you like it, you can continue to practice it."

After that, without waiting for Xu Heng's response, he said again: "I have already said hello to fellow Taoist Ge, let's go."

As he spoke, red clouds rose from under his feet, lifting the two of them off the ground. Xu Heng asked, "Is this trip back to the mountain?"

Qiao Cheng said calmly: "I calculated with my fingers that there is an elixir that is about to mature on the way back to the mountain. I picked up the elixir on the way and returned to Tianchi Mountain."

Xu Heng was refreshed and didn't pay attention to any elixir. His thoughts had already flown to Tianchi Mountain.

He has seen Taiguang Immortal Mansion. Although it is not very pleasant, it is indeed the place of the Immortal Family, a paradise in the cave.

Tianchi Xuanwei has the same origin as Taiguang, but is completely different. What will happen?
