If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 217 Birthday Congratulations
Feeling the eager gazes in everyone's eyes, Xiao Yu remained calm and asked with a smile: "Senior One-armed Immortal, have you also integrated a kind of evil spirit into your true qi?"

The one-armed immortal was a little surprised. "Yes, in order to practice the 'Blue Sky Poison Blade', I lived in seclusion in the Rotten Peach Mountain of 'Southern Qi' for ten years, and absorbed the 'Peach Blossom Five Smoke Evils' that I had accumulated in the Rotten Peach Mountain for ten years into my body. How did you see that?"

He didn't ask "Who told you that?" because it was through He Chaohong's introduction that Xiaoyu knew his nickname "One-Armed Immortal".

Her expression at that time could not be deceiving, and there was no need to pretend.

Xiao Yu said: "I am quite sensitive to evil spirits, and the evil spirit in the body of the senior is particularly strong, so I have some guesses."

She cultivated the bloody evil energy condensed by the Tiger Soul Seven Killings, just like adding a drop of soy sauce to a bucket of water, taking only the flavor of the soy sauce (pure yang flavor).

The other party mixed three bottles of soy sauce with half a bottle of water. The total amount of true energy was increased several times out of thin air, and it all smelled like soy sauce.

Then she asked, "Senior, do you have any methods or experience to purify evil spirits?"

The one-armed immortal hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I have a complete set of 'Sky Poison Blade' training methods, which includes the extraction and purification of Peach Blossom Evil.

However, my purification method can only prevent the Peach Blossom Evil from corroding my own body.

It is impossible to be like Miss Yu, who gave birth to a little extreme yang from pure yin.

If Miss Yu is willing to give me some pointers, I would like to give Miss Yu the complete set of secret manuals of "The Sky Poison Blade".

Xiao Yu waved his hands repeatedly and explained: "I am not coveting the senior's secret book.

Just as Master Wen said, I didn’t have a proper master and at first I had no idea that evil spirits needed to be purified.

Now I want to explain the method to purify the evil spirit, but I don’t know where to start!

Therefore, I will first ask the seniors for some basic knowledge on the practice of Sha Qi."

——You don’t even know the basic common sense, but you have mastered the Pure Yang Sword Qi that even immortals may not be able to master. You are still showing off, right?
To be honest, they were really fooled by her this time.

Because she was telling the truth, she indeed did not have a proper master, and she indeed mastered the Pure Yang Sword Qi in a short period of time.

But Xiaoyu didn't want to pretend.

It was impossible for her to reveal the secret of Zifu, so she planned to first learn about other people's methods of purifying evil spirits so that her subsequent lies would be more credible.

The one-armed immortal probably sincerely wanted to gain some experience from her, and said, "There are at least seventy-two major categories of earthly evil energy, and each major category is divided into many types.

Many strange and magical skills require the use of evil energy.

However, although integrating evil spirit or strong energy into true essence can help warriors practice various magical powers and secret techniques, it will affect the purity of the soul and true essence.

If the evil spirit and the strong energy are too strong, they may become the master and interfere with the harmony between the dragon and the tiger and the completion of the golden elixir.

I heard that before becoming immortals, they almost never touch the magical powers related to the evil spirit.

It was only after I formed the Human Immortal Yuan Dan that I went to the Rotten Peach Mountain to practice Peach Blossom Evil in seclusion."

Blah blah, after explaining the basic martial arts knowledge of Gang Qi and Sha Qi, the One-Armed Immortal also revealed some methods of purifying "Peach Blossom Sha".

I didn't go into detail, just gave a general idea.

The general meaning is: first guide the evil energy into the sea of ​​consciousness, merge it with the soul power, and purify the evil energy by purifying the soul.

The process of the soul becoming purely yin is the practice of the Yin Spirit.

The Yin God can make the evil spirit produce a bit of pure Yin nature.

It is equivalent to the soul being a basin of water and the evil spirit being a lump of mud.

As long as the water is cleaner than the mud, washing the mud with water will make the "mud" purer.

Basically, the higher the level of one's own soul, the higher the level of the evil spirit-related secret arts will be.

Xiaoyu broke this common sense: the realm of evil spirit is higher than her own realm.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Xiao Yu murmured, "I think I understand my own specialness.

I have held and used the Investiture of the Gods.

The evil spirit in my body also comes from the Investiture of the Gods."

"What's wrong with the Investiture of the Gods? Why is there such a strong evil aura in the Investiture of the Gods?" The one-armed immortal asked hurriedly.

"I don't know what the Investiture of the Gods is about. At that time, my soul turned into a fierce tiger and entered the mysterious space in the Investiture of the Gods. It was a world of blood and sea. The evil spirit condensed into thick clouds in the sky and formed a sea of ​​blood on the ground. Countless corpses and broken weapons piled up into a mountain in the middle of the sea of ​​blood. On the mountain there was a supreme throne."

Xiao Yu let his face show memories and shock, and after a while he continued to mutter: "Under the throne, the blood sea world oppressed me so much that I couldn't breathe.

Once I ascend the throne, I will be able to control the List of Gods. You already know this.

But not only can I use the List of Gods to forcibly deify others, I can also draw the vicious and bloody energy from the sea of ​​blood that is completely tamed by me.

Even though the evil spirit rushes to my head and makes me lose my mind, it doesn't mean that the evil spirit is out of control, it's simply the nature of the evil spirit.

When I tried to purify the evil spirit, it remained docile, and then it worked."

"Is it that simple?" The one-armed immortal widened his eyes.

"It's not that the method is simple, but the difficulty lies not in the subsequent methods, but in the List of Gods!" Li Qianyue murmured.

The one-armed immortal was stunned for a moment, then he looked thoughtful, "The Investiture of the Gods is an ancient artifact, so its power is naturally extraordinary.

When Miss Yu took control of the Investiture of the Gods, she had already unconsciously manipulated the Investiture of the Gods and carried out a special purification and taming of the evil spirit.

This type of domesticated evil spirit is much more likely to be pure yin or pure yang than the evil spirit extracted from the underground caves."

When everyone heard this, they all looked enlightened.

Of course they could guess that Xiaoyu hadn't said a lot of key things, but the key point should be "Investiture of the Gods"!
Without "Investiture of the Gods", her "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" could not have been perfected - this has been confirmed by Guan Chenghuang himself.

The discussion in the teahouse was not just about Xiao Yu's Pure Yang Sword Qi.

It's just that she has been in the limelight recently, and the "Beheading the God at the Yamen Gate" incident was too shocking. It was also her first time to appear in a high-end occasion, so she was asked to speak first.

Afterwards, Li Qianyue, He Chaohong, Yan Shenbu, the One-armed Immortal and others talked about their own specialties, some training experiences and specific tips.

For example, Xiaoyu was very interested in flying with a sword, especially after her iron sword turned into a treasure, she also wanted to "fly the sword on the wind and eliminate demons between heaven and earth", so she asked Li Qianyue about the basic requirements of flying with a sword.

"First, your breathing method must at least reach the True Essence Realm.

The interaction between one's own true energy and the heaven and earth is the foundation of all flying techniques.

Secondly, learn a sword-wielding technique.

Flying with a sword is not a realm of Xianwu swordsmanship, and it cannot be achieved through hard practice of sword intent and sword energy.

You can simply understand the sword-controlling method as a special skill, or even as a magical power.

Finally, prepare a flying sword that contains the essence of the five elements and is compatible with the attributes of your own skills.

In fact, everything in the world contains some of the essence of the five elements. For example, an ordinary iron sword at least has the energy of "Geng Jin".

It's just that a 'spiritual sword' with sufficient spiritual energy will greatly reduce the threshold for flying with a sword."

This is Li Qianyue’s complete answer to the question about flying with a sword.

All three conditions are only discussed in general terms without going into any depth.

Xiao Yu was naturally dissatisfied. He smiled with gratitude on his face, but muttered to himself: This girl is pretty and seems generous and magnanimous, but I didn't expect her to be a stingy person.

Uh, she forgot that when she talked about the Pure Yang Sword Qi, she also talked in general terms, and apart from the keyword "Investiture of the Gods", she hardly said any useful information.

Maybe others are also muttering in their hearts: This Shaman girl is pretty and looks honest and simple, but unexpectedly she is a little smart-alecky and refuses to tell many details about the purification of evil spirits.

It is past the middle of the afternoon, which is around four in the afternoon.

Li Xianzhi, Lao Shenxian and several "immortal guests" finally came down from upstairs.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Chi Lingzi, who delivered the dates that morning, seemed to smile at her.

Xiaoyu looked carefully and saw that he was smiling all the time and was not following anyone in particular.

——You must quickly go on stage to perform and find a godfather. After you have that godfather, all the "monsters and demons" will no longer be a concern.

Xiaoyu looked at Lao Shenxian.

While they were discussing philosophy in the teahouse in the afternoon, the servants of the Lao Mansion built a ten-meter-long and four-meter-wide stage in the yard with wood, facing the Yage.

The wooden doors and windows facing the stage on the first, second and third floors of the Accord were removed so that the guests in the hall could directly see the scenes on the stage.

Now the servants and maids in the Lao mansion began to hang lanterns with the word "longevity" on them in the yard again.

Lao Shenxian didn't say anything, but Li Xianzhi came out and explained in public the reasons and purposes of the "Shudong Martial Arts Conference", and for the first time determined the time: September 15th, half a month later!

When someone asked about the details, Li Xianzhi answered them one by one.

After another half an hour, it was completely dark, all the lanterns in the yard were lit, and the house was brightly lit inside and outside.

The immortal Lao personally led a group of servants and maids out of the Lao Mansion and distributed birthday cakes and noodles to the people outside, and also distributed "birthday money" in a big way.

Each birthday coin is as big as a child’s palm, bright yellow, heavy, and has no holes. The front side is engraved with the words “prosperity and longevity”, and the back side has a turtle and a crane.

The copper content of a birthday coin is at least equivalent to twenty copper coins.

In addition to copper coins, there are also birthday coins made of silver and gold. They are also the size of a child's palm, with four large characters "龟鹤齐寿" engraved on them, and a bust of Lao Shenxian and auspicious clouds on the front.

Xiaoyu picked up a silver coin. The bust was drawn with only a few strokes, but the image and spirit were complete, allowing the people of Yingxiang Prefecture who were familiar with the immortal Lao to recognize its identity at a glance.

"Lao Shenxian is really extravagant." Xiao Yu weighed the silver coins in his hand, "One coin weighs at least three taels. I saw the servants carried more than thirty large bamboo baskets, and only half of them were copper coins. How much money must have been spent this night!"

Shaoyao laughed and said, "If we don't give out 200,000 or 300,000 taels, how can we call it 'all the people congratulate' or 'the whole world celebrates'?"

As soon as she finished speaking, waves of cheers came from all directions: "I wish you a long life, a long life of wealth and honor!"

"I wish you a long life, wealth and prosperity!"

One sound follows another, wave higher than the last.

It seemed that everyone in Yingxiang Mansion was shouting, and the shouts were very uniform - they were all auspicious words printed on the coins.

“Good~good~good~~” Immortal Lao’s face was flushed and he looked energetic, looking more and more like an old immortal with unparalleled good fortune and longevity.

After a lot of trouble, the part that Xiaoyu was most looking forward to was finally here.

"Xiao Fengxian, the banquet is about to begin, are you sure you want to go up and perform the sword dance?" Shaoyao pulled her to a corner and said hesitantly, "You've seen it too, everyone respects you and treats you as a junior and friend.

Apart from a few immortals who may come on stage to demonstrate magic and celebrate the birthday of their old friend, the immortal Lao, other distinguished guests will not come on stage to perform conventional programs such as swordsmanship and dancing.

The dancers and singers who came to perform are all from Hongxiufang and Yingxiangfu's Jiaosifang. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xiao Yu frowned and said, "It's just a favor. Who would really treat me as a friend of equal status?"

Shaoyao said earnestly, "The first time is strange, the second time is familiar, and friendship is cultivated slowly.

The key is that others are very polite to you, without any contempt or underestimation.

For example, the one-armed immortal, he had invited you before, asking you to go to the "Drunk Immortal Pavilion" some other day to drink and fight with swords.

Sun Botao of the Shahe School even sent you an invitation, inviting you to attend his son's engagement party at the Sun Mansion next month.

Even the Thirteenth Princess, knowing that the Li family wanted to distance themselves from you, still talked and laughed with you. "

At this point, a hint of sadness and self-mockery appeared on her pretty face, and she continued, "If you still don't understand, you can compare their attitude towards me.

He was still very polite and warm to me, but it was completely different from the politeness he showed you."

During the afternoon tea discussion, she didn't say much at all, and when she spoke, she only spoke to Xiaoyu and Wen Zhiruo.

Xiaoyu was helpless.

She really didn't care about her identity, nor did she care about Li Qianyue, the One-armed Immortal and others' attitude towards her.

Whether they were polite or contemptuous, they were just unimportant "background walls" in her life.

But Shaoyao's words reminded her that it was not normal for her to perform on the same stage with the singer from Jiaosifang at this time.

If she behaves abnormally, others may wonder what she is trying to achieve.

"Sister Shaoyao, you understand my aspirations. I long for immortality and am unwilling to be ordinary, but I lack a teacher, money, secret manuals, and elixirs. Every time I perform a sword dance, in addition to receiving rewards, I can also get comments on my swordsmanship from others, and then take the opportunity to exchange martial arts experiences with them in depth, so my martial arts progress is so fast."

Shaoyao sighed: "Of course I understand, and I will always support you, but——"

Xiao Yu's heart moved, and he raised his hand to interrupt her, "Wait a minute, Sister Shaoyao, you just said that immortals will also go on stage?"

"The magic tricks performed by immortals are different from those performed by dancers and singers." Shaoyao said.

Xiao Yu smiled strangely and said, "Perhaps, I have a way to achieve both."

"What's the double-edged sword?" Shaoyao asked doubtfully.

"I also know strange arts and can perform them on stage."

She looked down at the Qiao Shi sword at her waist.

The Immortal God who controls the sword is essentially still herself.

For example, the fierce tiger god is a part of her soul.

The ferocious tiger pays homage to the birthday and the flower goddess dances for him. Is there any point in this?
