Chapter 326

The tempering technique of the Yellow Dragon Sword Art is divided into two stages. The first stage is the method of refining the flying sword into the Qi Sea, which has nine steps.

One is "Du Meridian Guidance", two is "Chong Dai Guidance", three is "Ren Meridian Guidance", four is "Nine-Nine Great Rotation", five is "Wandering Dragon Walks Taiji", six is "True Spirit Enters the Sea", seven is "Overturning Rivers and Seas", eight is "Great Loop Rotation", and nine is "Flying Sword Returns to Position".

The second stage is the tempering method for the flying sword. The steps are simple, divided into large and small heavenly cycle fire-raising methods, but it is a long-term effort.

Liu Xiaolou didn't delay and directly started the first step of the first stage, Du Meridian Guidance.

"Mind at the Weilu acupoint, thought connects to the Earth Dragon, true qi rotates left and right eighty-one times each, and the dragon roar is formed."

A very simple incantation, the purpose is to open the channel for the flying sword to enter and exit. Liu Xiaolou did as he was told, focusing his spiritual sense on the Weilu acupoint...

Wait! Does the Yellow Dragon Sword Art he practices have the flying sword enter and exit from the Weilu acupoint? But other people's flying swords all come out from above, such as Su Jing's top of the head, Lin Shuangyu's back of the neck...

Forget it, Weilu is Weilu, as long as it can enter and exit.

Liu Xiaolou withdrew his spiritual sense, continued to sit cross-legged to practice, focused on the Weilu acupoint, and led out the void qi from the Weilu acupoint, thinking of the ground out of thin air, hanging down to the place where it intersects with the ground, which is the Earth acupoint. The spiritual sense continued to deepen into the Earth acupoint, maintaining the connection from the Weilu acupoint to the Earth acupoint.

After connecting in the void for a whole day, he gradually felt that this connection was stable, so he diverted his attention, mobilized true qi to pass over, and injected it bit by bit, which was "hiding the dragon". This was another night's effort.

After the true qi was injected, he began to rotate this true qi virtual line connecting the Weilu and Earth acupoints, rotating left and right eighty-one times each, rotating continuously, until this true qi became lively, as if it had vitality. This was cultivating the "Earth Dragon", and the point on the ground was the Earth Dragon's nest.

Then continue to rotate, rotate continuously, until a dragon roar:

"Pfft—sizzle~ sizzle~ sizzle~"

The first step was considered a small success.

Liu Xiaolou opened his eyes and saw a morning sun jump out of the sea surface again. This was already the fifth sunrise after landing on the island.

He got up to move his hands and feet, walked around the simple Sword Hut twice, and found that this was indeed a good place for seclusion and cultivation. He didn't do anything, and many fish, shellfish, shrimps, and crabs had already drilled into the crevices and holes of the reefs below the Sword Hut. He could just take them out and eat them, and the taste was very fresh!

After a full meal, he didn't rush to practice the second step, but went to the main peak of more than ten zhang on the island again, looking toward the northwest and the northern sea.

Occasionally, a few sail shadows could be seen appearing beside the islands in the distance, but they disappeared after watching for a while. It wasn't until noon that a small boat finally approached, getting closer and closer, heading straight for Nanjian Island.

After another half an hour, Liu Xiaolou finally saw clearly that the person on the boat was Lin Shuangyu, and apart from her, there was no one else.

The boat arrived at Nanjian Island. Liu Xiaolou was already waiting on the shore. Before Lin Shuangyu got off the boat, he opened his mouth and asked: "How is it?"

Lin Shuangyu said: "Su Shidi has been imprisoned for three years."

Liu Xiaolou's heart skipped a beat: "Is it serious? If it doesn't work, I will return the things and go to Xiqiao Mountain to plead guilty."

Lin Shuangyu comforted him with a smile: "It's fine, Xiaolou don't worry. Su Shidi was imprisoned by Elder Bai in the Stone Swallow Gorge behind the mountain. That is the place where our South Sea Sword Sect disciples test their swords. Although he cannot go out for three years, it is a good opportunity for Su Shidi to practice the sword path."

Liu Xiaolou blinked, still a bit uneasy: "What is the charge?"

Lin Shuangyu said: "Making friends carelessly."

"Not serious?"

"It's fine, hehe. I also took the blame for negligence. After I catch you back to the mountain, I will also be imprisoned in the Stone Swallow Gorge for one year."

"Catch me back to the mountain? This..."

"Yes, you just resist desperately then. I can't catch you, and then I will return to the mountain to ask for orders."

"Then should I resist?"

"That's not necessary. You can learn the sword art first. After a period of time, I will come again. You have newly learned the sword art, and your methods are beyond my expectations, so you escaped. But the sword art was taken back by me. This way, Su Shidi's charge can be reduced a lot."

"Learning the sword here? Is it really okay?"

"Yes, no one would think you are on Nanjian Island."

"This really no one would think of?"

"Yes, Elder Bai said, you are a Jingxiang cultivator, you must have returned north after getting it. All the manpower sent by the sect went north to chase. I changed direction halfway, and came to see Su Shidi's Sword Hut first."

"This Sword Hut is not bad. Cultivating here, it feels very good. After adapting to the sound of the sea tide that is always around, I am worried that I won't be able to enter stillness after leaving."

"Then you can practice here for a while longer."

"Really okay? Or should I find another small island?"

"Stay here. Other islands often have junior brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts from the sect coming and going to practice. Only this Nanjian Island is what Su Shidi and I are used to, and others rarely come."

"Oh oh oh, I understand."

"Then I will go catch you. You practice well here."

"Okay, the sword art, you can take it back now..."

"Learned it all?"

"Learned it. By the way, if there are really sect disciples coming to the island, I..."

"There won't be. If someone really comes to the island, except for me, most of them are not from our South Sea Sword Sect. At that time, whether to fight or leave, you decide for yourself."

Lin Shuangyu took out two jars of wine from her storage magic treasure and said: "This is the Wuye Clear Spring brewed by our South Sea Sword Sect. Drinking it while practicing the sword path has extraordinary effects."

After receiving the two jars of Wuye Clear Spring, Liu Xiaolou quite reluctantly handed over the sword art, watched Lin Shuangyu board the boat and leave, felt very stable in his heart, returned to the Sword Hut, and continued to practice the Yellow Dragon Sword Art.

The second step is Chong Dai Guidance, which is the cultivation of the Chong Meridian and Dai Meridian. The incantation is also simple: "Mind at the Huiyin acupoint, legs like cliffs, true qi rotates left and right eighty-one times each, seeing the state of mountains collapsing and earth cracking, feeling the waist, chest, and neck vibrating like beans, then it is done."

Liu Xiaolou imitated the first step, focused his spiritual sense on the Huiyin acupoint, imagined the legs like cliffs out of thin air, forming two mountain canyons, then led the true qi out from the Huiyin acupoint, and after landing, connected it with the Earth acupoint. The true qi was like a stick, stirring the two mountain canyons, until he felt the entire canyon vibrating, finally triggering the vibration of every joint from the lumbar spine to the thoracic spine, and from the thoracic spine to the cervical spine like beans rolling.

After seven days and seven nights of cultivation, he finally passed this hurdle.

Then it was the third step, Ren Meridian Guidance.

The incantation for this step is even simpler: spiritual sense focuses on the pubic bone, and it is also necessary to practice the pubic bone to connect with the Earth Dragon.

Liu Xiaolou looked down and was speechless for a long time. Why does this Yellow Dragon Sword Art walk the lower three paths?

But practicing to this step, he had some insights again. The Yellow Dragon Sword Art and the Mystical Truth Scripture are really very similar...

Because of familiarity, Liu Xiaolou practiced the Yellow Dragon Sword Art extremely fast. The nine major steps of the tempering technique were practiced faster and faster, and the later they were, the easier they were to get started. Starting from the fourth step "Nine-Nine Great Rotation", he could complete one step on average every three to five days. One month after landing on the island, all nine major steps were successfully achieved.

The moment "Flying Sword Returns to the Sea" was completed, under the guidance of spiritual sense, the Guan-yuan channel composed of Weilu, Huiyin, and pubic bone was hidden into the Qi Sea!

A sword with form traveled forward in the channel between virtual and real, and finally introduced into the void Qi Sea. The experience was quite mysterious.

Looking at this flying sword suspended in the center of the Qi Sea, watching the five soft branches separated from the sword head, seemingly stretching lazily under the nourishment of the true qi mist, Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but feel excited, his heart surging, almost tearing up.

I can finally play with a real flying sword!
