Borrowing a sword

Chapter 273 The Dao Ancestor's Path of "Sword Cultivation"

"Chasing Wind Sword Technique", Yellow-grade, low rank.

You can level up directly using experience points; you can get started in a second.

"But I'm now a dignified Comprehension Level 7!"

He decided to practice on his own.

Like martial arts techniques, players can gain experience points for spells by practicing them themselves.

The higher your comprehension, the more spell experience points you will gain with each practice session.

Chu Huaixu wasn't really worried about losing such a small amount of experience points.

It was simply because the Dao Ancestor only read the manual once and practiced it once before he mastered it.

As the dignified successor of the Taoist patriarch, he can't be too incompetent, can he?

So he began to practice the "Chasing Wind Sword Technique" in the cave, using his fingers as swords.

However, while learning, he discovered that the young Taoist priest did not use his spiritual power when performing sword techniques.

This also made his sword dance unremarkable.

Chu Huaixu only mastered the basics of the "Chasing Wind Sword Technique" after practicing it for the twelfth time.

Han Shuangjiang, on the other hand, only practiced it three times.

He thought that once he learned the "Chasing Wind Sword Technique," he would automatically enter the next scene.

But the situation was not as he had imagined.

Chu Huaixu was still trapped in the cave, and the young Taoist priest continued to practice his swordsmanship.

This made him realize that he had probably misunderstood.

"I thought that once I learned it, I could skip ahead in the story."

"But as it stands, it seems the Dao Ancestor doesn't want me to learn it."

"He wants me to fully understand it, to raise my skill level to the highest level!"

With this thought in mind, Chu Huaixu decided to add experience points to it to verify his guess.

Anyway, this kind of low-grade yellow-level technique is very economical and doesn't cost much.

"It's a pity that the 'Chasing Wind Sword Technique' is really too bad."

However, given his personality, now that he's spent the experience points, he'll definitely use them occasionally in the future, such as when he's crushing weaker opponents.

Otherwise, this skill would have been learned for nothing!
After leveling up the "Chasing Wind Sword Technique" to the maximum level, a gentle breeze blew in, scattering everything around it.

The world was plunged into darkness once again.

At this moment, Chu Huaixu began to have a bad feeling.

"Clearly, this is just the beginning."

He guessed that this secret realm of inheritance was probably where the Dao Ancestor followed the entire "Sword Path" he had walked.

Make him learn everything he has learned about swordsmanship, and make him reach the same level as him.

"Just thinking about it is exciting, and the rewards will probably be huge."

"However, there is one bad thing."

"I've been leveling up too frequently lately, and I've reached level 37 in one go. I've also upgraded [Six Out of Rank] to the highest level."

"I don't have many experience points left in my character panel."

Chu Huaixu only had 11 experience points left.

Sure enough, young people still need to learn to save some money.

At this point, Chu Huaixu had taken the lead over Han Shuangjiang's progress.

Her comprehension was far superior to that of the dead fox, but since he leveled up in an instant using experience points, it would still take the big ice block some time to master the "Chasing Wind Sword Technique" to its peak.

Before Chu Huaixu's eyes, everything returned to darkness.

When a new scene appears, it is in a courtyard.

A tall woman, dressed in a purple robe and wearing a purple veil, walked into the courtyard.

As soon as she entered, she called out loudly, "Master Medicine! Have you finished refining the pills I requested?"

Hearing the voice and looking at the slender woman, Chu Huaixu roughly guessed her identity.

"Could this be the female patriarch of Spring and Autumn Mountain?"

She and the Dao Ancestor had quite a few scandals, which have been passed down for a thousand years.

The most famous account is from unofficial historical records, which state that the patriarch of Chunqiu Mountain once considered personally taking action to break his pure yang body.

"Medicine Taoist" was the nickname given to the Taoist Ancestor by the Patriarch of Spring and Autumn Mountain. Legend has it that the two first became acquainted through elixirs. "It has long been refined." The young Taoist, still dressed in the robes of the Gentleman's Temple and carrying a black scabbard, rose to greet him.

He took out a jade bottle from his storage bag and handed it to the woman.

The woman in purple took the jade bottle, clicking her tongue in amazement: "You've refined it quite quickly."

"Here you go! This is the sword technique I promised you." She took out two jade slips and handed them over.

"One sect is at the lower grade of the Xuan level, and the other is at the middle grade of the Xuan level," the woman explained briefly.

Then she started complaining: "I don't know why you're so obsessed with swordsmanship. You're not a sword cultivator."

The young Taoist priest simply smiled and did not refute.

Seeing that he immediately intended to examine the jade slip, the woman in purple couldn't help but speak up and suddenly called out to him, "Medicine Taoist!"

"Hmm?" The young Taoist priest looked up.

"I...I'm going back to Chunqiu Mountain." When she said this, her tone changed, her voice became softer and gentler.

Chu Huaixu, who was originally standing on the sidelines watching the show with a clear conscience, suddenly had to act out of professional habit.

This guy, who's ranked second on the "Must-Eat for Companion Services" list, immediately noticed something was off about the woman's eyes.

She didn't want to leave.

The young Taoist priest, however, seemed oblivious to such sentiments. He simply rose, cupped his hands, and said, "I wish you a safe journey, fellow Taoist."

The woman in purple frowned, her eyes gradually becoming resentful.

She stared at him for a long while, then suddenly let out a cold snort.

"I'm leaving! No need to see me off!"

She strode out of the courtyard without looking back.

The young Taoist priest looked in the direction the woman had left, shook his head, and chuckled.

Looking at his expression, Chu Huaixu guessed that he knew exactly what was going on in his mind!
It's not that he's clueless about romance; he's just not interested in her at all!
The dead fox started trying to chase after them, hoping to catch some more gossip.

To everyone's surprise, the woman in purple was still standing outside the courtyard.

"I was planning to take off my veil before I left, so you could remember what I look like," she said.

With the keen senses of a cultivator, the young Taoist priest could hear her speaking from where she stood, provided he was attentive.

"He is heartless, but I am willing," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

After finishing the melon, he hurried into the yard.

Because he knew very well that his turn was coming up soon.

The Dao Ancestor is about to begin his sword dance.

Sure enough, he became completely absorbed in reading the jade slip, just like a sword fanatic.

After a while, he got up from the stone bench.

The young Taoist priest, dressed in a Taoist robe, began practicing his first set of sword techniques, using his fingers as swords.

The [Heavenly Sword Technique], a low-grade Xuan-level skill.

The following scenes are somewhat like watching a movie, with time moving forward.

He kept practicing his swordplay, but things were changing around him.

One moment it was daytime, the next it was night.

One moment it was sunny, the next it turned cloudy.

This made Chu Huaixu's heart sink.

He had previously speculated that he would have to reach the same level as the Dao Ancestor.

Now it seems that the Dao Ancestor has also cultivated the [Heavenly Kui Sword Technique] and that other mid-grade Xuan-level sword technique to the Great Perfection.

Sure enough, the "fast-forwarded scene" ended quickly.

Because this Taoist priest had already thoroughly mastered it.

Everything around us began to freeze again.

The Dao Ancestor began to demonstrate the perfected Heavenly Kui Sword Technique to Chu Huaixu.

Once, twice, three times.
The situation suddenly became somewhat dire.

"I only have 11 experience points left," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

"My experience points are simply not enough to level up both Xuan-level sword techniques to the maximum level."
