Ten Directions Sword Master

First understand Lesser Heat, then understand Summer Solstice.

Lu Li could only sigh with admiration; the Floating Island World was truly a treasure trove.

Unfortunately, there are too many powerful figures that are difficult to offend, and unlike the world of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there is no real historical reference to rely on, so that one can use the tiger's skin as a banner to intimidate some local tyrants.

You can't just openly claim that you have any connection with the seven divine swords of the Taibai Sword Sect.

In the days that followed, he maintained this pace, using the sword pills to improve his comprehension.

He not only studied the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword Technique, but also integrated all the sword techniques he had learned in the past, refining and eliminating the dross.

After a few days, he would practice the Great Wilderness Burning World Record again, engaging in a self-torturing act.

When the two sword pellets lost their color and turned into a dull gray, he had officially mastered the technique for tempering the mind and spirit.

At the same time, the newly realized "Minor Heat" and "Summer Solstice" are not explored in depth, but only the remaining three sword moves are explored in depth.

The newly grown stubble on the scalp was burned clean once again.

After more than half a month, he actually comprehended the "Summer Solstice" sword technique one morning.

Continuously comprehending the solar terms poses significant risks. If the foundation is unstable when applying them, there is a high possibility of them clashing and disrupting the meridians.

But since he was only trying to refine the intense heat in his dantian, it wasn't a big problem.

The lesson can be completed later; otherwise, each sword move will be ambiguous and the distinction will be unclear.

To talk about the changing of the seasons and the transformation of the four seasons, let alone the integration of sword techniques across seasons, is simply a pipe dream.

Thanks to the combined effect of the four Xiabu sword techniques, that scorching aura was quickly defeated.

Or rather, they chose to actively integrate.

It shrank and faded at a visible rate, while the Xiabu Sword Technique grew stronger day by day.

As one thing diminishes while the other increases, the refining speed is faster than expected.

In less than twenty days, everything was swept away, the burden was lifted, and an unprecedented sense of ease arrived.

Lu Li let out a long breath, just as he was about to relax, when his internal energy surged, triggering a response in dozens of acupoints.

The internal energy surged uncontrollably into these acupoints, circulating spontaneously and surging wildly.

"That's right. The internal energy in all my acupoints is already at its peak. Refining this wisp of scorching energy is like injecting another force into me... If I were to compare my body to a container, it would be unable to withstand the pressure and would soon overflow."

Lu Li suddenly realized what was going on, and immediately sat down cross-legged, focusing his mind and calming his spirit.

"Therefore, after circulating its internal energy once, it begins to open its energy channels on its own, indicating its intention to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

There are precautions to take during the Foundation Establishment process, and he had already read through many of the manuals written by senior disciples of the academy.

From exceptionally talented prodigies to ordinary people who have experienced setbacks, he understands all the different aspects of life.

Without any unexpected events, the pure internal energy naturally broke through the acupoints and reached a new level.

The White Dew Frost Technique automatically switched to the Foundation Establishment Scroll's operating route, and everything around it shook slightly, seemingly changing, yet also seemingly unchanged.

After circulating the cultivation technique for one cycle, Lu Li opened his eyes. The first thing he did was open and close his mouth, but no sound came out.

"You've really opened my mouth. From now on, I can communicate with others in secret without worrying about being overheard in public."

Compared to the miraculous effects of opening other acupoints, the oral acupoint is useless in direct combat, but its application is wide-ranging.

Overjoyed, he paced quickly around the study. In less than two months, he had already achieved all his goals in activating the intermediate-level seclusion talisman.

Heal your injuries and break through to a higher level.

The two are interconnected; solving one link will lead to the completion of the task.

The fact that this could be accomplished so quickly is partly due to the magnanimous act of the Floating Island World in publishing the sword technique to the world for reference.

The other half should thank themselves for that bold sword strike.

The two wisps of cold and hot air saved him a lot of trouble.

However, the unverified cross-seasonal sword technique was too dangerous, and he really didn't want to try it unless absolutely necessary.

Over the next few days, Lu Li diligently cultivated, consolidating his realm and adapting to his rapidly increasing strength.

With his sword technique that can slay Foundation Establishment cultivators, and now that he has reached the Foundation Establishment realm, he should be able to fight against most late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Of course, those geniuses who are already on the human rankings and have outstanding combat power are another matter.

As the leader of the Yingtian Academy's operation, Zhai Xiao was certainly stronger than the deceased Kong Zhao, and probably had more knowledge of the secret techniques of alchemy.

In the remaining months, he planned to fully master the newly learned Xiabu Three Swords, taking no rush to make further progress.

After advancing to the next level and gaining the ability to see inwards, he discovered that cultivating the Great Wilderness Burning World Record had left him with many burn marks and hidden injuries.

Furthermore, considering that using the Summer Solstice technique would already cause a burning sensation in the heart, the combined effect might leave him far from achieving the "Zhurong's Flame Step" technique of unifying the six swords, and he might end up burning himself to a crisp first.

Let's wait until our cultivation level is higher before trying the next move of the Xia tribe sword technique.

Others who practice this sword technique have already reached a high enough level of cultivation and are eagerly waiting to comprehend the seasonal changes.

On the contrary, he progressed too quickly in his cultivation, and needed to stop and wait for his cultivation level to improve.

"Why didn't you bring food again today?"

After finishing his cultivation, Lu Li pushed open the door and saw that the place where the box should have been was empty.

They missed breakfast yesterday, so they're not even sending lunch today.

He was, after all, a first-class guest retainer hired by Kuai Ling. How could he become indifferent after only a little over a month, even reducing his food and treatment?

Upon entering the courtyard, the usually crowded competition area was deserted, without a single disciple in sight.

Just as he was completely bewildered, he saw a disciple running towards him in a panic. Lu Li grabbed him and asked, "Where are the people from the Sword Hall? Where did they all go?"

"Let go! The young abbot is seriously injured, I need to fetch a physician... You've delayed him, and he can't receive timely treatment. Can you bear that responsibility?"

This disciple had never seen Lu Li before. He was suddenly grabbed and struggled violently.

But that wrist was like an iron clamp, locking it in place without moving an inch.

"Young Master Kuai is injured? What happened? Tell me quickly!"

Having just found a treasure trove for cultivation, where he could observe various sword techniques without having to show his face in public, Lu Li was reluctant to let it go.

Although the disciple was flustered, he was articulate and explained what had happened in a few words.

The Xuan Gui Sword Hall came to challenge them, and their eldest disciple was originally slightly weaker.

However, Kuai Ling was still seriously injured and took some medicine to force himself to go on stage. After a hundred moves, his internal strength was exhausted, and his opponent cut off two of his fingers and stabbed him in the thigh.

He was a trusted confidant of Kuai Ling, and his quick thinking in summoning a physician amidst the chaos on the training grounds was commendable.

Lu Li asked for directions to the martial arts arena, let the disciple leave, and quickened his pace.

Regardless of Kuai Ling's intentions in taking him in, the more than ten volumes of sword manuals and the two sword pellets were genuine.

Now that he has accepted the position of a first-class guest minister and received a salary, he should not stand aside at this time.

Passing through two hanging flower gates, there is an extremely spacious martial arts stage, which is now surrounded by disciples of the sword hall.

A group of people stood on the platform, supporting Kuai Ling who had fallen into a pool of blood, and forcefully stuffing hemostatic and heart-protecting pills into his mouth.

Kuai Ling looked even worse than before; his cheeks were sunken, leaving only skin clinging to his bones.

With its mouth tightly shut, it stared at the person opposite with a deathly, venomous gaze, as if it wanted to devour them.

How can a swordsman who has had his fingers cut off still wield a sword? What difference is there between him and a cripple?
