“I always feel that your Peak Master is a bit lacking in brains. You can just listen to his words casually.”
While speaking, Fairy Lingyue somewhat listlessly got into the gourd and then said with a yawn： “Taiping, I won’t accompany you tomorrow morning. You go by yourself.”
“Well, there’s no need to trouble Sister Lingyue with such a small matter.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
Although the divine essence of Fairy Lingyue has been somewhat restored, after all, she is still in the state of a remnant soul and must have sufficient rest time every day, otherwise the soul will be damaged.
“Dawn, almost around the third hour of the day. Well, tonight I might as well practice the Danxia Jue for two more hours. When it’s just getting light, I’ll go straight to Laoyue Pool.”
While thinking like this, Xu Taiping stepped back to Fan Tower.
With his current cultivation base, having a sip of wine and not sleeping for several nights in a row is no big deal.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
According to the agreement, Xu Taiping came to Laoyue Pool when it was just getting light.
Because Laoyue Pool is not far from Qiyue Xuan, he didn’t use merit coins to hire a spirit bird and completely ran up the mountain, regarding it as practicing strength and body techniques.
“Why hasn’t Elder Sansan arrived yet？”
What made Xu Taiping feel a little strange was that he sat on a big rock in the middle of the pool and waited until the sun completely came out, but he still didn’t wait for Elder Sansan mentioned in the letter from the Peak Master.
But just when he was looking around boredly, he suddenly found a large wooden sign hanging on the cliff wall of the waterfall on the west side of Laoyue Pool.
Out of boredom and curiosity, Xu Taiping jumped up, his figure lightly landed on the cliff wall, and then like a nimble ape climbed the protruding rocks on the cliff wall and quickly approached the wooden sign.
After getting closer.
Xu Taiping discovered that this wooden plaque was actually nailed to the cliff by a rusty long sword.
And on that wooden board, there was even a line of very elegant big characters engraved –
”If you want to learn my swordsmanship, you must first follow the sword control mental method formula left on this wooden plaque, control this sword and stab at least three thousand swords on this cliff, for ten consecutive days, not a single sword can be missing.”
”In the future, if I have something to do, I will leave the plaque here. If you have something to do, you can also leave the plaque here.”
The signature is San San Ju Shi (Three Three Layman).
”It really is left by Elder San San.”
Xu Taiping said with some pleasure and surprise.
Then, he first pulled out that rusty long sword and made a mark on the cliff, and then jumped off the cliff with the wooden plaque with the mental method formula written on it, and landed back on that big rock with a “pop” sound.
Regarding the fact that Elder San San didn’t show up, Xu Taiping didn’t really care much. He just felt that the other party must have had something urgent to do. After all, the other party was also a cultivator and had to practice. How could there be time to often come and teach you.
”Let’s first take a look at this set of sword control mental methods.”
Then Xu Taiping sat cross-legged on the big rock and began to carefully read the nameless sword control mental methods on that wooden board.
The reason it’s called the Nameless Sword Control Mental Method is, of course, because San San Jushi didn’t mention the name of this mental method at all. However, judging from his words describing this mental method, he is still very confident in this sword control mental method.
“It’s not particularly difficult either.”
After reading it carefully several times, Xu Taiping tried it a few times himself and then felt relieved.
And for Xu Taiping, who has already practiced many spells, this mental method formula is not very complicated.
But soon he discovered that even if he mastered the mental method formula, it was far more difficult than he imagined to freely control this flying sword to fly in the air with the Sword Control Technique.
This feeling is just like when he first practiced the Canxia Sutra with his ordinary bone body, there is always a feeling that he can’t exert his strength.
He guessed that it should still be restricted by this ordinary bone body.
“Now I should be able to overcome it, even if it takes twice or even three times as much time.”
While thinking like this, Xu Taiping began to try to control that rusty sword to float up again and again.
Perhaps it was because of having so much cultivation experience for such a long time, or perhaps it was because of the cultivation base of the Youwang Realm as support. After trying for a full hour, Xu Taiping was finally able to control that rusty long sword and fly to the position on the cliff where he had made a mark.
“Plop！”
But before Xu Taiping could be happy, the rusty sword fell uncontrollably from the air and plunged straight into the water pool.
He tried many more times, and every time, after leaving a scratch on the cliff wall, the flying sword would lose his control and fall into the water pool.
And the sword in the water, Xu Taiping couldn’t temporarily control it with the sword control technique to take it out, so every time it fell, he could only dive into the water pool to pick up the sword.
Even so, Xu Taiping still enjoyed it.
Because unlike before when he could only practice the Canxia Sutra with the help of the bone-washing and marrow-cleansing soup, now he was completely relying on his own strength to practice this sword control technique. So even a little progress was enough to make him extremely excited.
So, he repeated this cycle, constantly controlling the sword and picking up the sword.
In the blink of an eye, the sun had already tilted to the west, and he finally completed the three thousand swords arranged by the Three-Three Elder before dark.
“Three thousand and… one sword.”
After using his extremely fatigued divine soul to make the rusty sword draw three thousand and one scratches on the cliff wall, Xu Taiping finally ended this practice with satisfaction.
“Hoo… go back and soak in the acupoint-opening and orifice-unblocking soup while practicing the Danxia Sutra. Let’s put aside the other few techniques for the time being in these two days.”
As Xu Taiping thought this way, he picked up the rusty sword on the ground, then picked up the wooden plaque and walked down the mountain. While walking, he still did not forget to practice the Wind Shadow Step body technique.
“After practicing for a few more days, the speed of my sword control should be able to increase a little.”
He thought this in his heart.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the breathing and qi cultivation of the Red Cloud Technique couldn’t be interrupted every day, he actually wanted to further consolidate the results of today’s sword control practice.
……
And not long after Xu Taiping left.
An old man stepped on a flying sword and appeared on that cliff. While stroking his beard, he counted the scratches on the cliff.
This old man, without accident, should be the Three-Three Layman.
“Three thousand and one swords？ That’s all. If you really have the heart, then give me three thousand three hundred swords. What kind of ability is it to have just one more sword？ Old man will come again tomorrow. If you are still so unenterprising, old man will not bother to teach anymore.”
The old man snorted coldly, then turned around and flew away on the sword, disappearing into the night.
