Demon Sword Immortal

"Chaoyuan" likely refers to "the Five Qi Converging to the Origin." This is a Taoist term, where the Five Qi refers to the Qi of the five internal organs. If she understands correctly, "Chaoyuan Huaqi" simply means to integrate the essence of the five internal organs and transform it into Qi energy.

As for what this 'qi' is... she really didn't know.

According to Taoism, Qi is the primordial energy in the universe. Strictly speaking, invisible energies such as demonic power and flow of consciousness can also be referred to as 'Qi'.

But no, the word 'qi' never appears in any classic texts or explanations. That makes sense, indicating that they must be different.

"Is this the old practice of Jinchan Temple?"

Bai Xiang stopped and leaned slightly against the wall, took out his phone, connected to the internet, and began searching for the term 'Jin Chan Temple'.

Master Cizheng spoke in a very low voice, probably thinking she hadn't heard him.

But since entering the Dao, Bai Xiang has discovered that his senses are more acute than those of ordinary people.

She heard everything clearly, from the whispers to the changes in Master Cizheng's tone.

Nokia kept beeping under her control, and because the network speed was slow, it took a while for the result to appear.

And this result...

"'Prohibited content will not be displayed'."

Staring at his phone, Bai Xiang nodded slightly in his heart.

Feudal dynasties... were somewhat expected.

Judging from Master Cizheng's tone, even if he could practice that scripture, there would be considerable trouble because it belonged to the old practices of Jinchan Temple, and practicing it might violate taboos.

As for whose taboo it is, it is naturally the taboo of the imperial family.

When Yang Xing recruited her, he mentioned many forces similar to the Demon Immortal Path, including the Golden Cicada Temple.

The fact that it could be built into a temple indicates that this taboo did not exist before.

Bai Xiang guessed that Jin Chan Temple must have done something outrageous to be punished by the imperial family, and its lineage was shattered, leaving it to hide everywhere like the Demon Immortal Sect.

As for why the old teachings of Jinchan Temple ended up in the hands of Chief Kan Jin's monk, Master Hua'an... well, it's best for her to pretend she doesn't know.

My grandfather, Bai Shengju, and Master Cizheng were close friends, and Master Hua'an was Master Cizheng's senior brother. The two sides had an excellent relationship.

Not only did the Great Yu imperial family not benefit me in the slightest, but they also killed my aunt because of that wrongful case in the royal palace.

Why should I worry about it?

Thinking this way, Bai put his phone away.

Even without a detailed training method, I can still achieve perfection by relying on 'Divine Illumination of the Inner Landscape'.

It just takes a little more time.

She had been standing by the stone wall for a while. Because of her outstanding appearance and temperament, and because she was dressed in ancient costume and holding a long sword, many people couldn't help but stare at her as they passed by, and even some women couldn't avoid it.

Bai ignored them and walked along the pedestrian street, intending to stroll along and slowly look for his two younger sisters.

As soon as they passed an ice cream shop, a small, fair hand held up a chocolate cone and poked it out.

Bai thought to lean back to avoid getting poked in the face by the ice cream cone.

"What about the rest."

She didn't accept the ice cream cone, but instead questioned Bai Zhuqing about why she was acting alone.

"Le Ying wants to eat liangfen (cold mung bean jelly), but the shop is a long way away."

"I'm worried about my aunt, so I'll wait here for now~"

Bai Zhuqing held a dark brown chocolate cone in her left hand and a pure white vanilla cone in her right. As she spoke, she stuck out her tongue and gently licked the white milk cake, while gazing longingly at Bai Xiang's face.

Bai squinted, staring at her smooth black hair: "Do chocolate and vanilla have any meaning?"

Bai Zhuqing smiled: "Guess?"

Bai shook his head and said to her very seriously, "I'm afraid I'll have to specialize in swordsmanship for the rest of my life and won't have the energy to care about anything else."

"me too."

Bai Zhuqing stared wide-eyed.

"I also like Kendo and plan to continue studying it more deeply?"

Bai Xiang didn't say anything, walked around the alley, and turned into an alley on his right.

Bai Zhuqing immediately caught up. She had a wooden sword stuck diagonally into her waistband, held two ice cream cones in her hands, and ran with small, white-stockinged feet in sandals. She looked rather comical.

"I don't understand."

Bai Xiang stared straight ahead, her white hair swaying slightly.

"At our age."

"That kind of relationship."

"What caused you to develop these feelings?"

“Of course it’s because…” Bai Zhuqing’s tone turned somber.

"Because I've lost you, I know how much I need you."

"lose?"

Bai Xiang was taken aback.

How old is she?

Does she even know what 'loss' means?

"Hmm?" Bai Zhuqing looked at her defiantly. "I only realized how much I cared about all the care you gave me when we were going to junior high school and we were going to be separated."

"I'm being bullied, please stand up for me."

"I want flowers, can you pick them for me?"

"Mom and Dad are usually busy with work outside, so you take care of me, even clumsily mending my clothes..."

These memories do exist.

Bai wanted to admit it.

But the problem is-

“I did the same thing to Le Ying.”

“Even Mosch received some preferential treatment.”

Otherwise, how could we say that the eldest sister is like a mother?

She did a truly competent job in this regard.

"That's probably because I'm too sensitive..." Bai Zhuqing slowly lowered her head.

"Le Ying doesn't feel that way..."

"I don't know why, why am I the only one who cares so much..."

I think you have an Oedipus complex.

Bai Xiang finally understood.

She discovered one flaw in Da Yu: the absence of Freud.

"My aunt is also very surprised."

Bai Zhuqing suddenly looked up and stared at Bai Xiang.

“I didn’t ask my aunt to do anything for me, nor did I make any excessive demands on her.”

"I just want to maintain this relationship, not to make progress, but to avoid regression."

Why is Auntie reacting so strongly?

No excessive demands?

Bai Xiang stopped, looked down, and together with Bai Zhuqing looked down at her black-stockinged feet in red rope sandals.

Then he looked up at Bai Zhuqing, and the meaning was self-evident.

"This isn't my fault, is it?"

Bai Zhuqing blinked.

"I can't go bare-legged, and I can't wear pants..."

"If I don't send it, will my aunt have to borrow it from my mom or my second aunt?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look down again.

She didn't bother looking, but her gaze drifted to the chocolate cone in her left hand.

Looking at her sister's black stockings and then at the ice cream cone, Bai Zhuqing couldn't help but stick out her little tongue and quickly lick the black ice cream.

broken……

She regretted it after she finished licking it.

I couldn't resist; this was too reckless.

Sister Xiang'er, I hope Auntie isn't angry.

But my aunt looks so good in that antique-style dress...

The wide cloth corset made her chest bulge out, and the black stockings under her skirt...

With her mind filled with unhealthy thoughts, Bai Zhuqing looked up and saw a shadow looming over her. It was Bai Xiang who grabbed her shoulder and pulled her to the side, dragging her quickly forward.

What is this doing?

The ice cream cone... the ice cream cone is about to fall!

Bai Zhuqing gasped inwardly.

However, before she could actually cry out, she heard Bai Xiang draw his wooden sword with a "whoosh".

"Qiang——!"

A banging sound came from above.

"Roar--!!!"

There was also a piercing growl.

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Scripture of Chaoyuan Huaqi (Please add to your favorites and read on!)

Inside the pedestrian street, Bai Xiang raised his sword to defend against the invading enemy.

The other party was a woman in her early twenties with a beautiful appearance and figure. She was wearing the uniform of a nearby convenience store employee, and her fingernails grew out of place, which she used to press against the sword, trying to force Bai Xiang to retreat.

But Bai Xiang refused to back down an inch.

Holding the scabbard in her left hand to protect Bai Zhuqing, and the wooden sword in her right hand to block the woman, she even had time to observe the details of the enemy.

The skin on my hands and face is a bit loose.

He was glaring at me with gritted teeth. What was behind those teeth?

"Roar!!!"

Seeing that she couldn't suppress Bai Xiang, the woman let out another low, beastly roar from her throat.

This time, Bai saw it clearly—the moment the woman opened her mouth wide, she saw that the woman had another set of teeth inside.

Sharp, triangular teeth, just like those of a shark!

"Pfft!"

Almost at the moment she saw it clearly, those sharp teeth suddenly protruded outwards, like the head of a python emerging from its mouth, like an alien or a molting snake, and bit straight at her face!

With a "whoosh," Bai Xiang flipped his left wrist downwards, spinning the scabbard like a baseball bat, and slammed it hard into the face of the thing that had just emerged, deflecting its trajectory out of thin air!

"boom!!!"

"Crash..."

The shadowy figure flew off, almost grazing her hair.

The giant python slammed into the tiled wall, shattering it. Countless pebbles tumbled down, kicking up a cloud of dust.
