Chapter 137 The Eye of Observation
Eye Technique...

Song Yan recalled that the first time he saw the pupil technique in the cultivation world was outside the Lingyuanze Night Market.

According to Qin Xijun, the night watchman who called himself "Chen Qi" had mastered a special pupil technique.

He felt a surge of excitement.

In the world of cultivation, when using divine sense to probe and scan for information, there will always be some traces left behind.

For example, if you try to probe the cultivation level of other cultivators, it's easy for them to detect it.

In Song Yan's view, pupil techniques are methods that allow one to know something without using divine sense to scan it.

According to various sword techniques, this Observation Sword Eye is also divided into several stages.

What he can cultivate at this point is naturally the simplest and most basic part.

While using the pupil technique, one can see the flow of spiritual energy around them and see through some of the most basic illusions.

It didn't sound very strong, but Song Yan was already satisfied.

Currently, we are still in Changping, and there are not many good conditions to cultivate the Lingyun Intent Body Technique, and the same goes for many of the sword techniques in the Sword Technique Essentials.

This sword-based eye technique is something we can try out first.

However, he was not in a hurry to start cultivating.

Instead, he turned his attention to a Qiankun bag beside him.

This Qiankun bag looks exactly the same as the one we obtained from Wang Xi during our trip to Jiran Valley.

It was Shen Huai's Qiankun Bag from the Xuan Yuan Sect.

In the depths of hell, to ensure that this person could not use any secret techniques to avoid death or prolong life, he was beheaded by his own sword, and all the spiritual items on his body were taken away by him.

Shen Yu and Xu Ziqing later argued over this item belonging to Shen Huai, but the matter was eventually dropped.

These things naturally became his own.

He used his spiritual power to erase the spiritual imprint on it, and then probed into it with his divine sense.

The Qiankun Bag contained quite a few items.

After a rough sorting, some useless miscellaneous items and clothes were piled up to one side.

Shen Huai's wealth is considerable; he has over six hundred low-grade spirit stones on hand alone.

To his surprise, there was also a mid-grade cyan spirit stone among them.

Low-grade spirit stones contain a mixture of spiritual energy and are generally not distinguished by any specific attribute.

However, when it comes to mid-grade spirit stones, the spiritual energy within them becomes differentiated in terms of its properties.

In the previous battle at Peach Blossom Village, Qin Ying had them choose from a selection of items, one of which was a mid-grade spirit stone.

The color and texture of that one were very similar to the one that Shen Huai possessed in front of him.

Song Yan held it in his hand and carefully felt it. It seemed that the wood-attribute spiritual power accounted for the largest proportion and was the purest.

Mid-grade spirit stones still contain spiritual power of many other attributes.

However, compared to low-grade spirit stones, it already has a very obvious and prominent attribute of spiritual power.

Song Yan and Rong and Wu killed the talisman puppet in the world of the painting and obtained spirit stones that were light purple.

Therefore, among them, the spiritual power of the lightning attribute is the most prominent.

If cultivation techniques of the corresponding attributes can be supplemented with mid-grade spirit stones, the speed of cultivation should be twice as fast.

Put away all the spirit stones.

He looked at the other items.

One of them was the ritual implement made up of several copper coins.

Unfortunately, this copper coin artifact was initially destroyed by the ghostly figure of the Avici Hell. Before it could be repaired and replenished with spiritual energy, Shen Huai took it out again in an attempt to resist that wisp of sword dao true essence.

It is now completely broken and unusable.

It would be a waste of time and resources to find someone to repair it, so there's no need to do so.

Secondly, there's the jade pendant.

I held it in my hand and examined it closely for a while, but I didn't find anything special about it.

When Song Yan first killed Shen Huai, the jade pendant emitted a faint emerald light, as if it were restoring her life force.

He then beheaded Shen Huai because he was worried about this thing.

Without further hesitation, he probed into it with both spiritual power and divine sense, erasing the remaining mark.

In a short while, the refining was completed. This was a mid-grade magic weapon, with no offensive or offensive effects, but it could automatically use the stored green wood spiritual power within it to heal the cultivator's injuries during battle.

However, in retrospect, the beheading he carried out in order to play it safe was actually unnecessary.

This jade pendant is used to repair external injuries and restore the flow of energy in the meridians.

Shen Huai's fatal wound could never be healed.

Finally, there was the hairpin.

This hairpin is flexible and unpredictable, and can be classified as a "needle" type of magical artifact. It was the very culprit that almost killed him that day.

However, Song Yan was not interested in ritual implements such as needles.

I'll put it back in my storage bag and sell it for spirit stones once I get back to the sect.

Besides these, there were also many useful items such as talismans and pills in the bag, which Song Yan put into his Qiankun bag one by one.

After tidying up some things, he picked up a jade slip.

This is something Shen Huai found in his Qiankun bag; it seems to be a secret technique for observing spiritual energy.

This secret technique, when Shen Huai obtained it, seemed to have no name; the jade slip referred to it as "observing spirits and gazing at qi."
As luck would have it, the Void-Observing Sword Eye I found in the sword techniques today also has a similar function.

However, it is clear that both have their own merits.

The Observing Sword Eyes can see through illusions and reality, allowing one to observe the flow of spiritual energy during battle and seize the opponent's weaknesses.

It places a greater emphasis on combat and fighting.

Shen Huai's secret technique focuses more on tracing the origins and finding the source.

One can glean clues from a cultivator's gestures and movements, thereby deducing the Daoist techniques and secret arts they practice.

Furthermore, it is possible to deduce what unused talismans, magical artifacts, and other items the person possesses.

However, the cultivation of this secret technique is extremely complicated, requiring a thorough understanding of the attributes and characteristics of various spiritual objects.

It takes far too much effort and time.

After much deliberation, Song Yan decided to put it aside for the time being.

Although I don't have any plans to sell it yet, I won't consider cultivating it in the near future.

His experiences in the Avici Hell led him to decide to focus more on swordsmanship training.

Try to keep things as pure as possible, so you can go further on the path of kendo in the future.

After systematically sorting everything out, he began to practice his eye technique.

Calm your mind and focus your spirit, embrace the original essence and guard the one.

Song Yan sat cross-legged on the bluestone floor, closed his eyes, concentrated, and slowly adjusted his breathing.

A moment later, he put his fingers together and crossed them in front of him.

A spark of light emanated from my fingertips.

Within the Zhendao Sword Mansion, the sword energy that arises and disappears around the natal flying sword is now flowing slowly out from the fingertips like a silkworm spinning silk.

Guided by a trace of spiritual energy, it climbed up to the space between the eyebrows.

The first wisp of sword energy seeped into the Jingming acupoint.

"hiss--"

My eyelashes trembled suddenly, and a sharp, stinging pain, like being pricked by needles, came from my eyes.

He quickly calmed himself, endured the excruciating pain, and slowly dissipated some of the sword energy.

"It was running too fast and almost injured my eyes."

I couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

The secret technique states that when practicing the Observing Void Sword Eye for the first time, one must slowly circulate one's Qi and never rush it.

Song Yan had been extremely careful and gentle with his luck just now, but it still came too quickly.

"call--"

He steadied himself and exhaled gently.

"The sword emerges from the abyss, the eyes are like suspended pearls..."

Silently recite the secret technique's key points, and continue to slowly guide the sword energy gathered between your brows towards your eyes.
