Junior sister, I really need to control you

Li Yinsheng stepped forward and pulled her up: "Oh? How did I cheat on you?"

"Hmm..." Mu Xiaoyu was speechless for a moment, and could only puff out her cheeks to express her dissatisfaction.

That wretched senior brother!

I've been sparring with her every day this month, but I've never let her win!

"Alright, alright, you did a good job today. Here, have a candied hawthorn."

Li Yinsheng handed a candied hawthorn to Mu Xiaoyu.

Although most of the snacks were in Mu Xiaoyu's own Qiankun bag, Li Yinsheng also kept some for himself.

Of course, most of it ended up in Mu Xiaoyu's stomach.

Mu Xiaoyu immediately took it, and the anger on her face instantly dissipated.

After Mu Xiaoyu finished eating the candied hawthorn, Li Yinsheng did not make her practice swordsmanship immediately.

Instead, he immediately began practicing his skills.

She currently only has the second level of the Qingxuan True Scripture, and her magical power is still very weak. After the battle just now, with ten sword lights being unleashed at the end, her magical power was depleted. She needs to practice her skills to recover for a while before she can continue practicing her swordsmanship.

Li Yinsheng had already received four years of cultivation as a reward from the eight sword lights, and he also took the opportunity to nurture the White Rainbow Sword for another four years.

Unfortunately, even four more years of nurturing wouldn't significantly enhance the sword's spiritual essence.

Moreover, as the junior sister's sword light cultivation increased, the guidance of the White Rainbow Sword noticeably slowed down.

It only takes a little over a day of practice to go from two sword lights to three sword lights.

It only takes three days to go from three sword lights to four sword lights.

However, a full month and a half has passed since the initial four sword lights were replaced by the current ten.

To be precise, it only took about twenty days to go from four sword lights to eight sword lights. The remaining twenty-odd days were spent on the ninth and tenth sword lights.

Moreover, because he also practices the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword, he has realized that although the power of the sword light increases each time the number of sword lights doubles, it becomes more difficult to increase the number of sword lights after that.

At this rate, it will probably take another two months or so of training to reach sixteen sword lights.

After the sixteen sword lights are completed, it's possible that only one or two more sword lights can be added per month.

Although this speed is already very fast compared to the normal credit lightsaber training, it only takes a little over a year to train to thirty-two sword lights.

After all, practicing swordsmanship with a true master's natal magic weapon every day is a privilege that even the true master's successor would never receive.

Even if this natal magic weapon is severely damaged.

But what happens next?

After the thirty-two sword lights, the difficulty will increase further.

Moreover, by then, the White Rainbow Sword, with only 20-30% of its spiritual power remaining, will offer significantly less benefit.

It might take more than a month to grow one sword beam.

Based on this calculation, if the three-year period is completed, it is likely that even the goal of sixty-four sword lights will not be achieved, let alone the final level of one hundred and twenty-eight sword lights.

Just as Li Yinsheng was frowning in thought, his consciousness stirred, and he looked up at the corner of the main hall.

Uncle Jiang, dressed in white, walked over from under the corridor.

Li Yinsheng smoothed his eyebrows and walked towards his martial uncle with a smile.

After learning that he was the real person, the martial uncle seemed to relax a bit and stopped being so reclusive.

For the past month or so, she has often come to the main hall to visit, either to chat with her junior apprentice or to watch Mu Xiaoyu practice his sword or spar with him.

"Uncle-Master," Li Yinsheng said, bowing.

Uncle Jiang smiled and shook his head: "Let's skip these formalities from now on. True Daoists usually address each other as fellow Daoists."

"Although we are both in Xuanzhen Temple, we are of different generations and are still uncle and nephew, but there is no need for these formalities."

Li Yinsheng shook his head and smiled, "I've gotten used to it over the years, I'll change it slowly in the future."

Uncle Jiang didn't press the matter and changed the subject.

"How's your junior sister's progress with the Splitting Light Sword technique?"

Li Yinsheng looked at Mu Xiaoyu. She had been practicing for a while and her magical power had recovered considerably.

"Junior sister, it's time to practice your sword."

As Li Yinsheng spoke, the White Rainbow Sword flew from his hand into Mu Xiaoyu's.

"I know, Senior Brother!" She took the sword and then noticed that Uncle Jiang was also there. She quickly turned the sword downwards, bowed, and said, "Uncle Jiang is here too. Greetings, Uncle Jiang!"

Uncle Jiang nodded slightly in return, his gaze lingering for a moment on Mu Xiaoyu's hand and the White Rainbow Sword.

Afterwards, Mu Xiaoyu began practicing the Split Light Sword.

"What does Uncle-Master think?" Li Yinsheng asked.

"Although it's still very raw, given her natural talent, it's already quite good that she's reached this level. At least it proves that she hasn't been slacking off." Uncle Jiang nodded slightly.

“This child is indeed quite diligent,” Li Yinsheng nodded and smiled. “Compared to me back then, she is even more diligent.”

In my opinion, they are evenly matched, neck and neck.

Uncle Jiang stared at Mu Xiaoyu practicing her sword, his gaze somewhat lost in thought, as if he were pondering something.

"The only difference is that you rely entirely on yourself, without anyone constantly urging you on."

Before Li Yinsheng could say anything, she spoke again, her tone becoming more serious: "However, I think her Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword seems to be a little slower than before."

“After all, the Splitting Light Sword becomes increasingly difficult as you progress,” Li Yinsheng said.

“That’s true, but that’s not the only reason,” said Uncle Jiang. “She herself doesn’t have a deep understanding of using the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword, so she’ll be slower in the end.”

“My junior sister and I spar a lot,” Li Yinsheng said.

Uncle Jiang shook his head: "It's not a friendly spar, she needs a real fight... Well, calling it a real fight might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it has to be a real battle, not just a friendly spar."

"When she has real combat experience with the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword, and realizes that she needs to rely on the magic sword and sword techniques in her hand to truly fight her opponent to the death."

"Only then will she truly understand that the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword is not just a sword technique she is learning, but is also closely related to her life."

"With this understanding and knowledge, she will be able to improve both the speed at which she cultivates the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword and the power she wields it."

Li Yinsheng seemed to understand, then said, "I think I understand, but I don't think I've experienced it myself."

“After all, you are one of the very few cultivators who have never treated magic as a game since you first learned it, so you were born to skip this step,” said Uncle Jiang.

She paused, then added, "Actually, I'm the same way."

Li Yinsheng nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Then, Uncle-Master, do you think it would be effective if I found a weaker demon and had my junior sister fight it?"

With her current combat power, finding a demon of similar strength would be incredibly easy for her.

Powerful monsters are rare, but weak monsters are plentiful!

“Yes, that’s fine,” Uncle Jiang affirmed. “And you don’t have to go far.”

"The area around Xuanzhen Peak hasn't been cleared for many years. If you use your divine sense to explore the surrounding mountains carefully, it won't be difficult to find two demons."

Li Yinsheng nodded.

It's unlikely that there are any demons around a proper Taoist temple, not even the lowest level ones. After all, a Taoist temple has hundreds of disciples, and if someone occasionally goes to the nearby mountains to relax, they will have already cleared out any demons.

However, Xuanzhen Temple is an exception.

After Li Yinsheng became a True Person, he also used his divine sense to scan Xuanzhen Peak.

Although there were no demons on Xuanzhen Peak, he did sense a demonic aura emanating from several surrounding mountains when he explored the peak.

However, those demonic auras were too weak, mostly only slightly stronger than his junior sister's, and they were hiding in the mountains, so they had no chance to harm people. Therefore, Li Yinsheng had always been too lazy to care about them.

Ultimately, demons are not demon cultivators; the two are worlds apart.

Ordinary demons, if they do not cultivate to a certain level, have a lifespan no different from that of ordinary wild beasts. They cannot live for more than ten years, and some may not even live for more than a few years. It is normal for them to live and die on their own.

He has so many things to do, how could he waste time with a few insignificant monsters?

But now...

Since it concerns his junior sister's cultivation, he really had to take her to visit the little cuties on the surrounding mountains.

Chapter 44 The Mysterious and Ferocious Sword

In the morning, Mu Xiaoyu was practicing the eleventh sword light with the White Rainbow Sword in front of the main hall.

Although he had planned to take his junior sister to find a monster and have a real battle with it, Li Yinsheng did not take her there that day.

Firstly, it was already late at night.

Secondly, although demons can be found on the surrounding mountains, we still need to explore them one by one to find the most suitable one to train our junior sister.

Therefore, Li Yinsheng specially troubled his martial uncle to watch his junior sister practice swordsmanship this morning, while he went to several surrounding mountains to observe the demons there.

This made things difficult for Mu Xiaoyu.

Although Uncle Jiang simply sat under the eaves of the main hall, quietly watching her practice swordsmanship without saying a word.

But in her uncle's eyes, Mu Xiaoyu felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, completely uncomfortable.

Even when it was past mid-morning, when she should have taken a short break, she didn't dare stop and just kept practicing her swordplay.

And Uncle Jiang...

She didn't know that Mu Xiaoyu's schedule indicated she should be resting at this time.

After all, she usually only comes over occasionally to take a look and stay for a short while; she doesn't watch Mu Xiaoyu practice swordsmanship all day long.

Fortunately, just when Mu Xiaoyu felt she was about to give up, Uncle Jiang spoke up.

"Okay, let's rest for a while."

Mu Xiaoyu felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She quickly bowed, then placed the White Rainbow Sword on the sword rack not far away. She then sat cross-legged on the futon next to the sword rack and began to regulate her breathing.

"Your Two Elements Dividing Light Sword technique is not bad," Uncle Jiang said, his gaze falling on his White Rainbow Sword. "What about the Mysterious Fiend Sword that Yin Sheng taught you before?"

The Mysterious Fiend Sword is the killing sword technique she had previously mentioned to Li Yinsheng, which can be used to compensate for the lack of killing moves in the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword.

The essence of this sword technique lies in combining multiple sword lights to condense into the form of a ferocious beast, making it extremely fierce and capable of killing.
