Chapter 97: Heart Sword Technique? Idealistic Sword Technique?

This time the medicinal liquid soak took a while, and in the blink of an eye it was evening.

Shang Hongxue, upon waking, first went to wash off the medicinal liquid on her body; the pungent smell was strong, she was accustomed to it and didn't resist much, and with experience she cleaned quickly, found a method, used the method Chen Chuyang told her, and indeed removed the smell from her body.

Fragrant, with a unique floral scent, this method is Chen Chuyang's alone.

"Chuyang brother, since you know this method, why not tell others?"

"This thing is quite valuable; how could I casually give it to them?"

Something like soap, actually it is soap, only the manufacturing method differs slightly; the flowers used are also spiritual flowers, with a unique fragrance and accompanied by spiritual energy, it removes odor quickly and is useful, while leaving a fragrance on the body; Chen Chuyang made only a batch, not much, and would not let others use it, keeping it for himself.

The materials used are also precious; others temporarily aren't qualified to use it; besides, the elders have no use for this thing, after a couple of days the smell naturally fades, no need for such trouble, making it fragrant like a woman.

Chen Chuyang hardly used it either, just kept it; seeing Shang Hongxue always washing, he remembered he had made a batch of soap long ago, hardly used it, and thereafter didn't make more.

"How much per piece?"

"Others need to pay, you don't." Chen Chuyang doesn't lack this bit of money; as long as this girl brings me some good stuff next time, that single stalk of Azure Origin Bamboo is worth quite a bit.

How could I take her money again; she is my patron, I must properly support her.

"Thank you, Chuyang brother."

Shang Hongxue smiled showing her teeth, very happy, warm, indicating her status in Chuyang brother's heart is high; others demand payment, only she does not.

Even if it were Chuyang brother's sister, she'd have to pay, inevitably suffering extortion.

"Next time I'll bring you more good stuff."

"Ahaha, you're still the most sensible."

Not wasting Chuyang brother's kindness to you, from now on I'll treat you even better.

From any angle, it's not a loss.

"Come, eat the spiritual fruit; these spiritual fruits are prepared for you."

"Thank you, Chuyang brother."

Shang Hongxue sat down, looking at the spiritual fruit before her; she knew these spiritual fruits were produced on Longshe Shan, tried one, and the taste was excellent.

She ate several spiritual fruits, also asked Chen Chuyang if he wanted to eat together; Chen Chuyang had eaten them before, and these fruits had almost no effect on him, better not to eat.

Having eaten and drunk her fill, Shang Hongxue sat aside, observing Chen Chuyang comprehending the sword technique.

Sometimes sitting in contemplation, sometimes standing to practice the sword.

When Chuyang brother dances the sword, he is truly handsome, possessing a special aura.

Like a celestial sword immortal.

The wooden sword dances gracefully, tracing trails of sword blossoms.

Petal after petal, so beautiful.

Shang Hongxue couldn't help but stare.

"So beautiful."

"What a handsome sword technique."

After Chen Chuyang finished dancing the sword, he lowered his head, looking at the wooden sword in his palm, which had cracked.

Then the wooden sword went bang and shattered.

Unable to withstand the sword energy and collapsing, Chen Chuyang smiled: "Heart Sword Technique?"

"These sword energies are not simple; the sword technique cultivated by Xinran Zhanglao is not simple either."

"That it could let me comprehend it, I really am a genius."

Within those sword energies lies Xinran Zhanglao's sword technique.

Also her cultivated Dao.

The Way of the Sword, her unique sword way, is not connected with the Spirit Sword Sect's sword way.

She, forging her own path, walked out a different road.

Heart Sword Technique is Xinran Zhanglao's sword technique, and also the sword technique Chen Chuyang comprehended from it.

Where the heart points, the sword points.

When the heart moves, the sword moves.

The sword follows the heart's movement—Idealistic Sword Technique?

"A rather absurd sword technique, truly just Idealistic Sword Technique."

"Such a sword technique is either heaven-defying or very weak."

Idealistic things are unpredictable; I didn't expect the cultivation world to still have such oddities.

All I can say is it's truly absurd.

Xinran Zhanglao's talent is also far more terrifying than Chen Chuyang imagined.

Being able to comprehend this sword technique is truly heaven-defying.

Such a sword technique, if truly cultivated, once entered, will be terrifying.

Unfortunately, this powerful sword technique also comes with a flaw: it's hard to get started.

The required talent is too high; unlike other sword techniques where steady practice lets you gradually improve and truly master, Heart Sword Technique is different—if you don't comprehend it, you'll spend a lifetime like this, unable to enter.

"Genius is merely seeing the threshold of this sword technique."

"Wanting to succeed in cultivation is too hard; no wonder the sister can't enter, this technique is truly too idealistic."

Idealistic things, anything good, require extremely high talent.

Moreover, each person cultivates differently, their views differ, so the swords they cultivate will also differ.

There is great uncertainty, also great extensibility.

This also leads to this sword technique having no fixed routine, relying entirely on comprehension.

This makes it impossible for people to cultivate; they simply cannot cultivate.

Not as good for cultivation as Chen Chuyang's Azure Sparrow Sword Technique; Shang Hongxue stared at it for a long time but still couldn't grasp it, finding it beautiful yet unable to copy or comprehend it.

After looking, she forgot it within a few seconds.

Chen Chuyang glanced at the Golden Core in his dantian; a Sword Dao appeared on it, drawing in those Techniques, which condensed into a sword—the Sword Intent he had comprehended.

The Sword Intent of the Heart Sword Technique is his, yet quite different.

That Sword Intent lay dormant, steadily growing; Chen Chuyang sensed that when it was fully completed, it would mark his invincibility.

"When the Sword Intent is complete, it follows the heart's motion."

"The world is vast; where cannot one go?"

In his hand he now had a trump card, and also a new sword technique.

Such a decisive, lethal sword technique is best suited for killing.

Chen Chuyang shook his head; his Spiritual Sense left the Golden Core in his dantian and landed on Shang Hongxue.

Shang Hongxue looked bewildered, stared for a long time, and forgot it all.

"Chuyang brother, what sword technique was that just now? Why…"

"Strange?"

"Yes yes yes." Shang Hongxue couldn't find words to describe it; hearing the two words Chen Chuyang said, she immediately nodded: "It's just strange; looking at it feels very odd, always sensing something missing, yet not lacking."

"After looking, I realized I had forgotten everything, remembered nothing."

She, whose Sword Dao talent is not lacking, actually couldn't remember anything—this in itself is quite strange.

Chen Chuyang laughed and rubbed her head: "No need to memorize or think; this sword technique isn't suited for you, so don't learn it; all you need to do is focus on cultivating your Azure Sparrow Sword Technique."

"Lately, have you been slacking?"

Shang Hongxue stood up and said sincerely: "I definitely haven't been slacking; these days I've been practicing sword diligently."

Speaking, they were about to spar.

She wanted Brother Chuyang to see how much her sword technique had improved, and also wanted him to praise her.

"Come, draw your sword."

"Brother Chuyang, you must be careful."

"Azure Sparrow."
