Demon Sword Immortal

If I kneel down and hold Sister Xiang'er's hand to beg her, I don't know if she will change her mind.

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Zhuqing realized that if she dared to do that, she would lose even the time she spent practicing swordsmanship with her boyfriend during the day.

Bai Xiang simply didn't think too much about it.

Ignoring Bai Zhuqing was also a form of punishment, to make her realize her place in the world. And since Bai Zhuqing saw her leaving every afternoon, she was naturally going to carry out tasks assigned by the Demon Suppression Division and the Recruitment Division.

The tasks assigned by these two organizations can be carried out in parallel. Some tasks involve clearing out the demon pools, while others involve investigating the reasons for the abnormal number of demon beasts in deeper parts of the jungle. Each time a task is carried out in parallel, points will be added to both systems at the same time.

Opportunities to kill demon pools are rare, because ordinary demon pools do not require the Demon Suppression Division to take action; the Supervision Division can handle them by sending a few people.

This solution may not be a complete cure. As long as it is confirmed that the Demon Pool does not pose a significant threat and does not have the characteristics of growth or spread, the Inspectorate will only warn those around it not to approach it again and will turn a blind eye to the existence of the Demon Pool.

Bai Xiang sometimes comes home too late because he's not satisfied with the results of his assignments. He then goes to the legendary locations of those demon pools and strange tales by himself, solves the demon pools, and kills Ji Jian.

As a result, her cultivation level was steadily improving.

Without Bai Zhuqing causing trouble before bedtime, Bai Xiang was able to have time to study the new path after transforming into Qi.

That evening, after taking a shower, she sat down at her desk with an open ancient book in front of her, the very book she had tricked from the white man Seredo, the "Subduing Tiger Arhat Sutra".

This is a martial arts manual that records a set of fist techniques, a set of staff techniques, a set of sword techniques, as well as the visualization points of the "Benling Tiger" and a specially designed "Linghu Heart Meridian Diagram".

There is no record of the visualization diagram; it is an even more precious treasure, and it is unknown whether it is currently in the hands of Benling Sword Dao or in the hands of Fuhu Temple, which has left the Great Yu.

Bai Xiang thinks it should be the former.

In reality, she was able to know so much information thanks to her supernatural abilities.

The ancient book itself is damaged in many places, and there are traces of alteration everywhere between the lines. It is difficult to understand when viewed normally, let alone extract the essence and make references.

Thanks to his supernatural abilities.

In a chance encounter, Bai Xiang discovered that when she imbued her ears with her spiritual power, she could faintly hear whispers coming from ancient books.

These whispers are not anything terrifying; they are simply statements and supplements to the scripture, with explanations provided for parts that are difficult to understand.

Bai Xiang guessed that this might be because the book he received was written by the author himself.

Written in his own hand, the author's spirit and energy were infused into the words when he wrote them. His powerful will still barely remains to this day. Only those with exceptionally strong and special spirits can hear and learn from it.

She didn't receive this benefit when she obtained the "Chaoyuan Huaqi Jing" last time.

Since it was a handwritten copy, and it was copied by a lackey of the Demon Immortal Path, it was impossible for it to have been imprinted with divine soul and will.

This explains why Seredo considered the book rubbish.

If it hadn't fallen into Bai Xiang's hands, its value wouldn't have been much.

"The visualization diagram of the Benling Tiger is most likely in the hands of the Benling Sword Dao."

I pondered for a long time.

In the path of swordsmanship, everyone must visualize the condensation of the demon pool, condense the external form of the demon pool, and use their inner mental image to control the external form of the demon pool. This is why the sword energy formed by swordsmanship supernatural powers and demonic power is also called 'external form power'.

Both are forms. The mental form can only interfere with the internal environment of the human body, while demonic power can activate supernatural abilities and form demonic sword energy to cause various kinds of damage to the outside world. Therefore, demonic power is of course the power of external form.

Taoist teachings also refer to "external appearance" as "external scenery," which essentially means the same thing.

"The way of the sword requires condensing the external form of the demon pool, but my path of transforming qi only condenses the form of the true self, that is, the human form."

"According to this logic, since everyone's mental state is different, if this method can be popularized, will the abilities and supernatural powers added after transforming Qi also differ depending on the individual's mental state?"

She thought of this because she had recently tested Bai Zhuqing's cultivation progress and found that the Qi she produced was far less sharp than her own, but her control over it was extremely outstanding.

This also led to Bai Zhuqing's rapid progress in cultivating the Divine Cry Sword Technique, with his various techniques advancing by leaps and bounds each day.

Bai Xiang studied the "Subduing Tiger Arhat Sutra" primarily for two purposes.

First: See if you can learn from their strengths and master the advantages of the 'Linghu Heart Meridian Diagram' to optimize your own current Heart Meridian Diagram.

After all, her current heart rate chart, although it has met the conditions for internal circulation, cannot be said to be the optimal solution, and there is still room for further optimization.

Second: I want to see if I can summarize the path after 'transforming Qi into form' from the visualization points and cultivation content of the Benling Tiger.

Transforming Qi into Condensed Phase.

Condensed form corresponds to purple qi and purple blood.

The next Qi Dao realm should be a major realm, directly corresponding to the Purple Core of Sword Dao.

So, is the next step to condense the Qi Sea into a Qi Elixir?

The concept of "returning to the origin and embracing the elixir" is also advocated by both Buddhism and Taoism.

This approach is generally correct, but how exactly should it be done?

Both tasks were extremely demanding, especially the computational workload. For the past month, Bai Xiang had to summon his divine soul almost every night before going to sleep to try, but all attempts ended in failure.

Another fruitless trip tonight...

I have some feelings, but I'm used to it.

After wiping the 'Feishangtian' sword, she hugged the sword and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already dawn.

"Ok?"

Upon opening his eyes, Bai Xiang felt a shadow looming over him. He immediately sat up and saw Xiang Xian sitting on the edge of the bed in a palace dress, flipping through the "Subduing Tiger Arhat Sutra".

"Their vigilance is alright."

Xiang Xian said without looking up.

"You didn't act rashly after obtaining the Tiger-Taming Manual. That's good. It seems you really listened to my advice to cultivate your character."

"Teacher?" Bai Xiang frowned.

"Get up and wash up," Xiang Xian smiled at her.

"After we finish eating, I will teach you the fundamental method of the Jade Bright Sword Dao—Jade Divine Bright Heart."

Chapter Forty-Eight Jade God

It's the weekend, and several younger members of the Bai family came home from school for dinner. As usual, they received the utmost favor from the resident disciples.

Bai Maoxu strode in with a swagger, followed by Ma Yue, who was wearing sunglasses.

Today, Ma Yue, dressed in a black suit and sunglasses, drove to pick him up, addressing him as "Young Master" from the very beginning. This gave him a huge boost in prestige among his classmates.

Bai Maoxu thought that this Senior Brother Ma was really too sensible and too good at speaking.

Who said that Brother Ma is dull and inflexible?

This person is incredibly insightful!

In reality, Ma Yue just felt that Bai Maoxu was the only male member of the third generation of the Bai family. Even if he wasn't the eldest son, he had to be. In addition, Bai Lianzhou and Bai Shengju were both rather old-fashioned and traditional people. He had been influenced by them since he lived in the Daoist temple every day, so he just said that when he saw Bai Maoxu.

Bai Maoxu received even more favor than that. After passing through the hall, he met Chen Shi, and the rich young master immediately handed him something.

Bai Maoxu took a look.

Good heavens, it's actually a touchscreen phone!

"Play with this in private, don't bring it to school." Chen Shi patted his head and warned him, "It's not for sale! It's strictly controlled! We're afraid some kids at your school might see it and get bad ideas, then we guys won't be able to hang out with you every day, understand?"

Bai Maoxu nodded repeatedly, already overjoyed as he began to work on it.

"I also want to be a fourteen or fifteen-year-old junior high student and enjoy being pampered..."

Watching this scene from afar, Hu Hu sat on the threshold, resting his chin on his hand.

Hearing this, Chen Jing, who was practicing standing exercises next to her, wiped her sweat and said to her, "Actually, if you don't say it, people will really think you are a fourteen or fifteen-year-old junior high school student."

Ok?

Hu Hu was taken aback at first, then looked down and realized what Chen Jing was implying.

"Hey Jingjing! Stop right there, don't run away!"

“Standing exercises are for stretching your muscles and bones.” In the courtyard next door, Xu Shu was explaining the key points of the spirit-cultivation stage to Lian Feng and several other disciples who had arrived early. “It’s to help you train your skin and muscles.”

"When practicing standing exercises, don't just stand there."

"Muscles and bones are like a bowstring; pay attention to tension and relaxation, and prevent overtraining from causing hidden dangers."

As time went by, Xu Shu's position as the second senior brother became more secure.

In addition, he has a gentle personality and is willing to answer anyone who comes to him for guidance in detail. He is also extremely diligent in his cultivation. Many disciples have developed a sense of awe towards him and secretly regard Xu Shu as a role model.

Bai Shengju made a rare appearance at the morning class today.

"A sword! It's not just a weapon!"

"Demon power is fierce, chaotic, and corrosive; human reason is clear, self-disciplined, and righteous!"

"Since the founding of the Great Yu Dynasty 1600 years ago, our Great Yu has created such a magnificent empire in a chaotic world surrounded by wolves and rampant with demons and monsters. It is precisely this glorious path that has enabled us to control demonic power with human reason, seal the 'demon pool' into the sword, and make the power of mortals reach the gods!"

"Therefore today, I will test your understanding of how to uphold righteousness..."

A familiar scene was reenacted once again within the dojo.

This time, however, the Bai family could all see that Bai Shengju's complexion had changed dramatically compared to a month ago. Not only had his back straightened completely, but his cloudy eyes had also regained their clarity. When he looked at people, he exuded an imposing aura without anger, and his body radiated a sharp temperament!

Grandpa should be about to break through.

Bai Xiang knew from seeing Bai Shengju that he was not far from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Bai Shengju had already reached that level, but the reason he hadn't broken through yet was simply because his poor health was a hindrance.

Bai Xiang needed to use the Zhenjue technique to eliminate the blood stasis and cysts, and then use the "Cicada Molting Method" to switch back from the external techniques he had learned outside to the "Divine Cry Sword Path." The process was extremely complicated.

Xiang Xian did not participate in meals or morning lessons. After receiving greetings from the disciples and juniors, Bai Xiang asked Bai Leying, "Has there been any change at your school recently?"

Bai Leying was stunned.

She was always daydreaming in class and had no idea about any changes.

“I know!” Bai Maoxu stared at his phone screen and raised his right hand. “It was about a few days ago when the school taught us a new set of broadcast gymnastics.”

"Oh right!" Bai Leying nodded, "That's right."

Several other disciples nearby, whose families are in junior or senior high school, also confirmed that this was indeed the case.

It wasn't just about teaching new gymnastics; those who excelled were even given training pills by the school, which were said to strengthen their bodies.

"What does that pill look like?" Bai Xiang asked again.

"It's white and smells very nice," Bai Maoxu said.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"No! I'm too lazy to go on stage...it's too embarrassing."

"Where is Le Ying?"

"No," Bai Leying shook her head as well.

Also, radio calisthenics.

Every time she does morning exercises, she just stands there with her legs planted on the ground, too lazy to move.

"Very good." Bai Xiang nodded after listening, and only spoke again after the outer disciples had walked away: "Keep it like this, don't eat it even if it's offered to you."

what?

The two younger generation thought they had misheard; what was this about instigating them not to study properly?

"Xiang'er, is there something wrong with the medicine?"

Bai Shengju, sitting in the head seat drinking tea, frowned deeply upon hearing this.

"I can't say," Bai Xiang shook his head.

"But if you can avoid eating it, then don't."

"We have no shortage of medicine for training and recuperation."

Upon hearing this, Bai Leying was bewildered, while Bai Maoxu frowned.

The other older inner disciples seemed thoughtful, secretly keeping the matter in mind.

Later, Chen Shi came over and, upon hearing this, suddenly realized: "This must be referring to the 'Marrow Cleansing Pill'!"

"Actually, it's a new drug being promoted within the sect. They say it's more potent than the previous drugs. My dad said it's a bit like forcing growth, probably to select those with exceptionally good physical abilities and then implement a new system for college admissions."

"A new school admission system?" everyone asked curiously. "What system?"
