Chapter 110

More than a month later.

In the peach forest, Shi Qingxuan played the flute, but the music seemed very awkward and difficult to pronounce, but she played it very skillfully, and the music was extremely pleasant to the ear; her beautiful face couldn't help but show a comfortable and satisfied smile.

At this time, she only felt the True Qi in her body moving up and down like flowing mercury; after the twenty-two tunes were played, her whole body felt as if it had been soaked in hot spring water, with heat flowing, meridians smooth, and a feeling of being reborn, the taste of which was indescribably wonderful.

Since Shi Qingxuan practiced the "Wonderful Music Spirit Flight Sutra," the more she practiced, the more surprised she felt, only feeling that the speed of the Internal Energy in her body increasing day by day.

Although she had a relatively thick Innate True Qi, the Spirit Tune True Qi she practiced actually had a trend of catching up from behind.

At first, it was as small as an earthworm, but after a few days, it gradually became as big as a thin snake; when it walked to the large acupoints, it suddenly split into several strands, and the meridians it passed through were smooth, and the pores were relaxed, making people's bones vibrate, wishing they could throw away the long flute and whistle loudly.

At first, she thought she was practicing wrong, but the more she practiced, the more comfortable she felt; plus, someone didn't say much, so she felt relieved and couldn't help but devote herself to this martial art that was incomparably compatible with her temperament.

Zhuang Buran, who was on the side, saw Shi Qingxuan finish playing the twenty-two tunes, and as if he saw the thoughts she hadn't told, he said with a smile:

"Most martial arts in the world start with the twelve regular meridians, practicing meridian by meridian; only after long-term hard work can one penetrate the Ren and Du meridians, forming a small cycle, and then use more time to penetrate the eight extraordinary meridians, forming a large cycle."

"This step-by-step approach, although it can build a very solid martial arts foundation, is extremely troublesome; not to mention how much time it takes, just the guidance of the practice has various requirements, such as requiring concentration, not allowing distracting thoughts, and maintaining a clear state of mind."

"If you can't do it, at best, your meridians will be damaged and your cultivation will not advance but retreat; at worst, you will go into demonic possession and your meridians will be broken."

"And this set of martial arts of mine is unique, incorporating the practice methods of large and small cycles into a set of tunes; music is born from the heart, and True Qi flows through the whole body with the music; once the player concentrates on playing the music, they will forget where the True Qi flows, and over time, they will even completely forget about practicing Qi, so there will be no distracting thoughts."

"Thus, not to mention that you have already penetrated the twelve regular meridians, Ren and Du meridians, and eight extraordinary meridians, your understanding of music theory has reached the pinnacle."

"Of course, you will feel that the speed of your own cultivation progress is astonishing."

After speaking, he suddenly shot out and patted Shi Qingxuan's back; her Spirit Tune Internal Energy moved according to her thoughts, and at the critical moment, it drove her body to avoid the blow patted by the youth in the blue shirt.

Zhuang Buran took the opportunity to turn his palm into a finger, chasing Shi Qingxuan's right shoulder; she immediately twisted her waist and waved her hand, turning gracefully, and her body dodged it like a willow following the wind.

The youth in the blue shirt waved his sleeve, stirring up a sleeve wind; Shi Qingxuan pointed her toes on the ground, spun and flew, and dodged it again dangerously.

Immediately, the two chased and fled; only to see Shi Qingxuan dodging with ease, walking between them without feeling cramped, raising her hands and feet, dancing vertically and horizontally, just like her body and limbs responding to the tune in her heart.

As a result, the twisting changes, up and down, had a different rhythm, and her body seemed to turn into wind and fog, so there appeared to be a gap, and she could enter and exit at will, and her body technique was very swift and free.

"Your understanding of 'Spirit Dance' has reached a deep level; make a move and let me see what realm your 'Spirit Sense' has reached."

Zhuang Buran suddenly used an extremely fast technique to conjure up countless blade shadows, like butterfly shadows flying, hitting all the major death vital points on Shi Qingxuan's body.

Shi Qingxuan pursed her lips and smiled, her expression unusually calm, just because the countless blade shadows that hit her still had differences in speed and rise and fall.

It was still clear in movement and stillness, and the rhythm was natural; it was clearly capturing a unique rhythm contained in this strike.

Her moves were as smooth as music, her internal strength changed with the rhythm, and she immediately made a move, operating True Qi in an orderly manner, hitting and destroying the blade shadows around her one by one.

"Good, in just one month, you have entered the realm of earth sound; it seems you are not far from heaven sound; after that, you only need to polish the combination of sound and martial arts, and you can easily cross this threshold."

Zhuang Buran always used one hand to make moves, his palm suddenly bursting with a burst of energy, instantly dividing into more than a hundred invisible blade energies; his heart and mind moved slightly, the blade energy turned with his heart, and the trajectory was erratic, heading toward Shi Qingxuan from all directions.

Shi Qingxuan seemed to have entered an extremely mysterious realm at once, perceiving more accurately where the blade energy came from and where it was going; the dense and erratic trajectories were all clearly audible.

The moment she heard the trajectory of the blade energy, a pair of fair hands danced, subconsciously operating True Qi to block, not wanting to succeed directly; not only did she block the blade energy, but she also made the internal force of the blade energy reverse, attacking the youth in the blue shirt instead.

Zhuang Buran's whole body's energy fluctuated, the blade energy was all shaken away, he stopped making moves and stood on the spot:

"Move and make it still, still and make it move; the righteous path, causing its divergence; the vast energy, difficult to stretch; therefore, it is said, move without moving, nothing does not move."

"Your understanding of 'Spirit Flight' is not bad either."

He nodded:

"It seems this martial art is indeed incomparably compatible with you; now it can be said that there is hope for shattering the void."

Shi Qingxuan heard this and immediately asked:

"Qing Jingyuan, how much of your strength did you use?"

The youth in the blue shirt glanced at her sideways:

"Your cultivation is not too deep now, you only have the combat power of a master in advance; how much of my strength can you make me use."

This sentence was like a basin of cold water, pouring Shi Qingxuan back to reality; just now it was just a test move; if they really fought, she was afraid she would be defeated in one move, how could they fight back and forth.

"Then if I practice the 'Wonderful Music Spirit Flight Sutra' to perfection, can I win?"

"Win against me using the martial arts I created?" Zhuang Buran shook his head:

"It seems I have to take back my previous praise for you."

"Then how many moves can I fight with you?" Shi Qingxuan also realized she asked a stupid question.

The youth in the blue shirt replied casually:

"If you practice to perfection, ten or so moves shouldn't be a problem."

"Only ten or so moves?" Shi Qingxuan's beautiful face rarely showed a competitive spirit of not admitting defeat:

"I don't believe that you, a person who only focuses on practicing martial arts and has no love for the path of music, will have deeper attainments in this martial art than me in the future."

"Then I will have to wait and see what kind of surprises you will give me in the future." The youth in the blue shirt turned around and waved his hand lazily:

"Alright, practice slowly by yourself; it's time to go out and see what excitement there is to see outside."

After Shi Qingxuan heard this, a palpitation arose in her heart for no reason, but she discovered that through the time they spent together, she actually had a little reluctance, and hurriedly muttered in her heart:

"This guy has a bad temperament, is temperamental, ruthless, and picky, complaining about the food I cook every day; he just looks good, and is not worth lingering over at all."

"One day, I will definitely beat him until he kneels and begs for mercy; that way, I can just take him as a servant and see how his cooking skills are."

"Although I don't know what you are thinking, I always feel that you have bad thoughts; my ability to perceive heaven and earth has a range of ten miles; next time you have thoughts of doing bad things, remember to avoid people."

A voice with a hint of a smile suddenly reached Shi Qingxuan's ears, and a fierce wind suddenly blew at the entrance of the secluded valley.

She was blown into the depths of the peach forest without any resistance, and then buried at the very bottom by layers of peach petals.

Then a voice lingered in the secluded valley for a long time:

"I really want to know how long a strange woman like Qingxuan can cry after being punched."

"We will meet again another day; I hope you can satisfy this curiosity of mine."
