Chapter 211 – Sword Scholarship Completion
Chapter 211 – Sword Scholarship
Although he failed to find a solution to the large gray pillar, he had a better understanding of the Heavenly Flame as well as some other heavenly materials.
Xu Chuniang put away her flying sword, and had a long-lost feeling of exhaustion.
Even though Foundation Establishment cultivators had a strong Yuan Shen and had meditated to recuperate after practicing the Sword Art every day, she had not closed her eyes for so many days.
Perhaps, it is time to sleep and recuperate.
Thinking, she left the Bible Pavilion and headed towards the practice field.
When she arrived at the practicing ground, before she could speak, the disciple on the side had already greeted her with a smile.
“Senior Uncle is here, is it still room A6?”
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment before speaking, “Open a medium practice room for me.”
She was only using it for sleeping, so there was no need to use one that was too good.
As for the inferior practice room, it was mostly used by some Qi Practicing Stage disciples, so she didn’t have to go and grab it from them.
“Okay le.”
The disciple hurriedly fetched a white formation talisman and handed it over with both hands, “This is room number nine of character B. The ninth room on the left of the second floor is it.”
Xu Chuniang nodded and took the formation talisman and walked up the stairs.
Compared to the previous Room A6, this room was much smaller, with only a second-grade Spirit Gathering Formation set up inside, and the spiritual qi was slightly stronger than outside by two or three times.
As for the shielding formations such as the Soundproofing Formation and the Eight Elements God Breaking Formation, they were all in place.
Xu Chuniang took a glance, nodded with satisfaction, and after casually performing a few dust purification techniques, she took out a few pieces of clothing from her storage ring, spread them out on the bed, and went to sleep.
This sleep directly slept for a full eight hours, until the dawn of the second day, only to naturally wake up.
After getting a full night’s sleep, the trace of fatigue from earlier disappeared without a trace.
In its place, was a spirit that had once again become full.
A thoughtful look flashed in Xu Chuniang’s eyes, the hidden scripture pavilion had already been rummaged through below the fifth floor, perhaps only by going to the higher floors would she be able to find more records about the Heavenly Flame.
After finishing today’s practice, let’s go to the sixth and seventh floors and try our luck.
Hopefully, she would be able to find what she wanted on these two floors.
Otherwise, the method of quenching divine sense with heavenly fire would have to be put on hold for the time being.
Xu Chuniang collected her mind and walked towards the practice field to continue her cultivation of the Imperial Sword Technique.
After she was able to control her qi over her weapon, she hadn’t been to the lecture room and practiced here alone every day.
When Gu Yuanan had lessons, he would come here to check on her progress and occasionally give her a few pointers.
Right now, the hour was still early, and there weren’t many people on the practice field.
After finding a secluded place, Xu Chuniang took out her flying sword and began to condense her true qi.
In just three breaths of time, a cyclone took shape and disappeared into the flying sword.
At the same time, the cyclone communicated with the surrounding heaven and earth aura, causing the flying sword to slowly rise.
Xu Chuniang’s divine sense wrapped towards the flying sword, and instantly, the flying sword flexibly twisted from side to side, deftly and swiftly.
Before long, the flying sword even flipped up in the air, looking dazzling.
This kind of control lasted for nearly an hour, and the flying sword was always very stable.
Upon noticing that the qi mass in the flying sword was about to disappear, Xu Chuniang looked as normal, and in just three breaths, she once again condensed a true qi cyclone and sent it into the flying sword.
Gu Yuanan came over from the lecture room just in time to see this scene and couldn’t help but nod slightly.
In controlling the flying sword so steadily, and still being able to replenish it with true qi, Xu Chuniang’s sword control technique was already ready to enter the next stage.
“Try to use your body to control the sword.”
Xu Chuniang understood, and while controlling the sword with her divine sense, she performed the Light Body Technique on her own body, and then leapt to the top of the flying sword.
The flying sword steeply sank downwards, narrowly stopping when it was still inches away from the ground. Her face changed slightly, when she was controlling the sword alone, she still had some strength left.
However, after using her body to control the sword, she needed to do her best to barely keep the flying sword from crashing to the ground.
At the same time, she was unsteady on her feet, with the feeling that she might fall off the flying sword at any moment.
Gu Yuanan’s complexion was as normal, it was already good enough to keep the flying sword from falling the first time she used her body to control the sword.
“Keep, feel.”
Xu Chuniang’s divine sense firmly wrapped around the flying sword, but she felt it slowly sinking, seemingly unable to bear her weight.
It wouldn’t be long before it was feared that it would crash to the ground completely.
When she was about to fall, her mind moved, and her divine sense instantly wrapped her body and the flying sword.
The flying sword’s descending momentum suddenly stopped.
Xu Chuniang lightly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, controlling the flying sword to slowly rise, beginning to adapt to her body’s weightlessness.
Only after adapting did she control the flying sword to do some simple movements.
Using her body to control the sword, she only stepped on the flying sword with her feet, and had nothing else to rely on.
If you are not careful, you will be in danger of falling.
Therefore, when practicing this sword art, you need to be extra attentive, until this art is practiced skillfully to the cultivator’s instincts, only then will you be considered a master.
Gu Yuanan nodded slightly, at this point, Xu Chuniang was barely considered an initiate.
The next thing to do was to keep practicing and improve the proficiency of the Sword Royal Art until the day when it could be operated at will.
“Very well done, as long as you continue to work hard, I believe you’ll soon be able to fully master the Imperial Sword Art.”
After saying that, he didn’t stay where he was anymore and turned around to walk towards the direction of the lecture room.
Here in Xu Chuniang’s place, the progress had been fast. It was time to go check on the others’ cultivation progress.
After Gu Yuanan left, Xu Chunniang practiced alone for a long time until her Yuan Shen was slightly exhausted before she lowered her flying sword and leapt down.
After her feet stepped onto the ground again, her heartstrings, which had been taut, finally relaxed.
Although this practice didn’t fly high, but after all, it was her first time flying with a flying sword, so it was inevitable that she would be a little nervous.
Perhaps when she practiced more in the future, and her body completely adapted to this sense of weightlessness, she would be able to do so without any waves in her heart.
Xu Chuniang thought faintly in her heart as she walked towards the scripture pavilion.
These days she went there day after day, and the Jindan elder who sat in the scripture cabinet already knew her.
Without waiting for her to open her mouth, she threw over a formation talisman.
Xu Chuniang caught the formation talisman and placed it on top of the countertop.
“Disciple wants to go to a higher level and consult some ancient texts.”
The Jindan elder glanced at her and casually put away the formation talisman.
“According to the regulations, the first five floors of the Scripture Pavilion are free and open to Foundation Establishment disciples, and on the sixth and seventh floors, contribution points will be charged.”
Xu Chuniang nodded slightly, “I wonder how these contribution points are collected?”
“Going to the sixth level, one hundred contribution points per day are charged; going to the seventh level, three hundred contribution points per day are charged. Even if you don’t find what you want, these contribution points are still collected.”
In the Bible Pavilion, all kinds of books were divided into different categories and neatly arranged, and it would take ten days of work to go through the books about heavenly materials and geomantic treasures on the sixth and seventh floors as well.
Calculating it out, these ten days would cost two thousand contribution points, and they wouldn’t necessarily be able to find a solution to the Heavenly Flame.
Xu Chuniang pondered for a moment and decided to head to the sixth and seventh floors to explore.
