Chapter 93: Winning Over Auntie Liu (Thanks to the alliance leader 'Loli Destroyer Controller' for the extra update)

~13 min read 2,472 words

"After the medicine bags are bought back, someone still needs to boil them. Are there any Aunties in the backyard who are good at boiling medicine?" Xiao Yu asked again.

"Letting them boil soup is definitely no problem, but boiling medicine, as far as I know, the boiling process for medicine bags with different medicinal effects will be very different.

Not only is it the difference in heat and adding water halfway, but some even need internal energy to assist in catalyzing the medicinal power." Auntie Liu's look at her had a trace of hesitation.

Cultivating sword maidens through large-scale medicinal herbs might "lose money" (less profit equals blood loss), but this Little Fengxian Xian before her had clearly displayed the bearing of a "Sword Hongfu Hongfu Xianzi."

Hmm, "Sword Hongfu Hongfu Xianzi" sword technique is more brilliant, the higher the reputation in the Jiang Hu, the higher the appearance fee will naturally rise, and the more money the Red Sleeve House will make.

If "Sword Hongfu Hongfu Xianzi" fails to fully realize her potential because of small problems like medicine bags, the Red Sleeve House will lose the expected silver, which is a loss.

Auntie Liu suggested: "You don't need to buy too precious medicinal herbs first, just bone-strengthening soup and spirit-warming soup, it's not a big problem.

Wait a few years, when you are sixteen, you can officially perform on stage, and you will definitely dance with the sword to shake Tianmen Town.

It's not impossible for your name to spread throughout the world.

At that time, you can be like Shao Yao, Zi Xuan, and Hong Wei, buying a mansion in the city center, keeping many slaves, and hiring a pharmacist to prepare and boil medicine for you alone."

"I also plan to become a Human Immortal before sixteen, but you tell me that sixteen is just the beginning. No, it's too late, it's wasting my great youth," Xiao Yu shook her head repeatedly.

"Sixteen-year-old Human Immortal, you really dare to dream!"

Auntie Liu first rolled her eyes at her, then her heart moved, and she asked: "Seeing you jumping around these two days, your body has no discomfort, and you were jumping around on the roof early in the morning; your sword bone... is there still hope for recovery?"

If the sword bone was still there, perhaps there was really hope of becoming a Human Immortal before thirty.

After all, it was a sword bone that had been raised to the "Great Completion Realm" by the Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill.

As for a sixteen-year-old Human Immortal... she had never heard of it in her life.

"The sword bone is completely ruined. In the past, I introduced sword intent into the sword bone, and my body was like a hundred-refined precious sword, the sword bone clanging, and the flesh and blood were also flexible and powerful.

Even if I was slashed by the sword Qi of the sword immortal Zhou Lang several times, I only had a slight overflow of blood from the corner of my mouth, and my body had no major problems.

That was the Boyue Loose Immortal Zhou Lang!

If it were an ordinary swordsman, I could even use my palm as a sword to fight against the opponent's precious sword and finally break their precious sword."

Xiao Yu shook her head and sighed regretfully: "It won't work now; the body is stronger than ordinary people, but the sword bone can no longer be stimulated.

Forcing sword Qi into it only brings bone-scraping pain, and no more clanging."

What she said was basically the truth.

The sword bone was indeed ruined.

But what she didn't say was that when she just woke up yesterday afternoon, she tried to introduce pure sword intent (the divine intent of moves) into the sword bone, and there was only bone-scraping pain, which was unbearable.

This morning, she tried to introduce internal energy mixed with sword intent into the sword bone, and besides the bone-scraping pain, there was a little bit of numbness and comfort.

She immediately thought of two people: the first was the Great Emperor whose Dao was wiped out, and the second was the Daoist Qingsong Daoist boy.

The "Supreme Bone" Great Emperor had his Supreme Bone dug out... Well, the Supreme Bone Great Emperor was ultimately a fictional character and couldn't give her too much encouragement.

The key was that the Daoist Qingsong Daoist boy once hinted: try to collect all kinds of sword technique classics as much as possible, practice all kinds of sword Qi and sword intent as much as possible, and then introduce sword Qi and sword intent into the sword bone to temper the sword bone with sword Qi and sword intent.

A swordsman's internal energy and will can nourish the ordinary iron precious sword in their hand, allowing ordinary iron to transform into a spiritual divine weapon.

Sword Qi and sword intent also have the same divine effect on the sword bone.

At that time, Daoist Qingsong was just hinting at how to develop the sword bone supernatural power.

Now that she thought about it, sword intent and sword Qi could increase the "spiritual opportunity" of the sword bone, so it might not be impossible to repair the sword bone.

"Even if the sword bone is gone, my martial arts realm won't retreat; my 'Clear Sword Heart' is still there," Xiao Yu said.

Not to mention that the sword bone repair was still nowhere in sight, she wouldn't say it out loud... unless one day, her Purple Mansion and Kunpeng wisdom supernatural power were in danger of exposure, and she needed to use the sword bone to block the gun.

"Hmph, the existing realm might not disappear, but wanting to advance by leaps and bounds like when the sword bone was still there, it's difficult!" Auntie Liu said.

"Auntie, you don't have a sword bone, you don't understand," Xiao Yu shook her head: "The sword bone is just a sharp sword; if the sharp sword is broken, the swordsman is no longer a swordsman? As long as my sword heart is eternal, I am still the me from before."

"Yue Tanxi, no matter how eloquently you speak, I have no way to prepare a pharmacist specifically for boiling medicine for you. Our Red Sleeve House can't afford that kind of person."

Auntie Liu waved her hand: "If there's nothing else, go back to Little Quiet Pavilion and continue to recuperate; I still have a lot of things to be busy with here."

"You gave Zi Ying a *Nine Flower Sword*, I can't practice it..."

Xiao Yu took out the manual and explained that she hadn't seen real "palace famous flowers."

"Auntie Liu, you are really something; you want others to practice the Nine Flower Sword, but the entire Red Sleeve House doesn't have those nine famous flowers at all; I haven't seen them, and Zi Ying hasn't seen them, how do you expect us to practice?" Finally, she complained.

Auntie Liu was thoughtful; she only knew that the *Nine Flower Sword* was very brilliant and very difficult to practice, and she took it out to test the "Big Talker" Little Fengxian Xian (she had heard of Xiao Yu's bragging in the Pear Fragrance Garden).

Now hearing Xiao Yu say this, she suddenly realized.

Thinking carefully, this principle was actually simple and easy to understand; to imitate the temperament and charm of flowers, if you haven't seen them, how can you imitate them?

But until today, this simple and easy-to-understand principle was pointed out by Little Fengxian Xian.

This little girl is truly a sword path genius!

This was Auntie Liu's first realization in her mind.

Sure enough, teaching the apprentice starves the master; masters are used to hiding a hand!

This was her second realization.

It was true that the *Nine Flower Sword* was difficult to practice, but many girls had practiced it successfully, yet no one had ever pointed out the key to practicing the *Nine Flower Sword* in the past.

"Actually, our Red Sleeve House also has a garden; look, outside is the flower bed..."

Before Auntie Liu could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Xiao Yu: "The flowers in the brothel are roadside flowers, picked at will; where is there any nobility and purity?

If Auntie Liu doesn't believe me, you can go to the flower beds of wealthy families... It's best to go to the palace garden to see; the flowers there must be different from the ones here."

Auntie Liu said strangely: "You little barbarian girl, how do you know that the flowers in the palace are different from the ones here?

In the southern suburbs of Tianmen Town, many royal villas have been built, and the flowers inside are no different from here.

In fact, we used the same flower seeds."

Xiao Yu laughed.

She shook the *Nine Flower Sword* manual in her hand and said: "Although the charm of the nine flowers is different, the heart technique describing the divine intent of the nine flowers reveals an indescribable magnificence.

I guess the creator of the *Nine Flower Sword* must be a palace noble.

Could be a man, could be a woman, or could be neither man nor woman.

But definitely not an ordinary person, and even less likely to be a woman in a place of pleasure.

A prostitute who costs two taels of silver a night and a queen born into a noble family are both people born of mothers and fathers.

Let the man-eating demons look at their faces and bodies; they seem to be meat, no difference.

But you tell me, is the difference between them big or not? Where is the difference?"

Auntie Liu murmured: "The bearing and charm between women are very different, even worlds apart; although flowers are not people, they also have charm and soul..."

Auntie Liu snatched the *Nine Flower Sword* and quickly flipped to the fifth style, blooming like brocade azalea.

Gradually, a look of realization and ecstasy appeared on her face; with a "clang," she pulled out the pearl-red tassel sword hanging on the wall and jumped into the garden, dancing "swish swish swish."

At first, although the sword moves were gorgeous and complicated, they were slightly mixed and lacked spirit and Qi.

But slowly, the mixed and scattered sword moves gradually condensed together, becoming clusters of blooming azaleas.

Prosperous and flourishing.

It was as if wherever Auntie Liu walked, brocade azaleas were spread out.

"A bit interesting..." Xiao Yu focused her attention, her eyes fixed on the blooming sword intent at the tip of the sword, and a brand-new sword intent gradually built up in her soul, bursting forth.

"Wow, Auntie Liu is so amazing, so beautiful!"

Even Zi Ying, who didn't understand martial arts, could see Auntie Liu's transformation.

"Hahaha, hahahahaha, Nine Flower Sword, I finally practiced it!"

Auntie Liu stood panting with the sword, laughing until tears flowed down, "It's been almost thirty years... if it were thirty years earlier, no, even if I had this epiphany twenty years ago, my life would be very different."

She walked to Xiao Yu and bowed respectfully three times.

Xiao Yu flexibly dodged to the side and shouted: "What is Auntie doing?"

"You helped me comprehend the Nine Flower sword intent; not to mention receiving these three bows, calling you 'Master Feather' is not an exaggeration," Auntie Liu said.

Xiao Yu shook her head: "I don't even know the Nine Flower Sword myself; I actually gained a lot of inspiration from Auntie's sword intent just now, so how can I teach Auntie?"

Auntie Liu sighed: "A true transmission is one sentence, a false transmission is ten thousand volumes of books.

Your one sentence pointing out the biggest obstacle to practicing the Nine Flower Sword is more important than anything else."

Xiao Yu said strangely: "Auntie has practiced the Nine Flower Sword for decades, has no one ever said anything similar to you before?"

Auntie Liu's expression was complex: "If I had practiced the Nine Flower Sword thirty years ago, I wouldn't have told anyone; I would have just found an excuse to frequently visit the gardens of major noble families, and then practiced sword at home after viewing the flowers."

"Why bother? Even if all nine swords of the *Nine Flower Sword* are perfect, it's impossible to dominate the Wu Lin," Xiao Yu sighed.

"Hmph, only a crazy person would think about dominating the world. In our world of pleasure, if one day one can be more beautiful than all others, life is considered perfect," Auntie Liu said.

Xiao Yu sighed again: "With this kind of bearing, one can only practice one kind of 'flower' in a lifetime."

"What does practicing the Nine Flower Sword have to do with bearing?" Auntie Liu said strangely.

Xiao Yu said: "The predecessor who created the *Nine Flower Sword* not only loved flowers, but also had a noble and broad-minded personality.

She loved flowers more than herself, but she didn't love only one kind of flower.

She loved all flowers, and even all beautiful things.

If you want to practice her sword manual, how can you not learn her character and bearing?"

Auntie Liu was stunned and murmured: "Are you serious? But you don't even know if the predecessor who created the *Nine Flower Sword* was a man or a woman."

Xiao Yu shook her head: "Is it important whether it's a man or a woman? It's not even important whether it's a human or a demon.

What's important is, if you want to learn the divine intent in the sword, you have to understand what spirit the sword manual wants to convey.

The Nine Flower Sword doesn't necessarily have only nine types of sword intent; 'nine' is just the limit of numbers.

I dare say the 'flower sword intent' comprehended by the creator of the sword manual must be more than nine types.

She just selected the nine most representative ones.

Beauty is like a flower, and a flower is like a beauty.

How broad-minded and open-hearted should someone be to understand and accept the charm of all flowers?"

Auntie Liu was stunned and murmured: "No wonder for so many years, no one has ever practiced the *Nine Flower Sword* completely; they are mostly like me, only one type of sword intent, and those with outstanding talent only have two... It turns out it has nothing to do with talent, it's mainly bearing... sigh, in the end, it's still talent."

She looked at Xiao Yu with a complex expression: "Your talent is far more than just a sword bone."

"Hmm, I was also born with innate wisdom," Xiao Yu said indifferently. ===== CHAPTER 94 =====

"Yes, I also have innate wisdom from a past life," Xiao Yu said indifferently.
