That night, after Lu Qing had fed the black beast while Xiao Yan was asleep, he waited until she was asleep.
He lit an oil lamp and took out the manual for the Four-Sided Sword.
It's worth mentioning that the little black beast actually brought another old ginseng that night.
Moreover, its quality is in no way inferior to the previous one.
Unfortunately, Lu Qing didn't have any rare fish to exchange with, so when the little beast ate the fish, Lu Qing could clearly feel its sullenness.
Lu Qing had to promise it that he would go fishing for rare fish when he had time to appease it.
However, before leaving, the little beast did not take the ginseng with it, but left it behind.
Therefore, Lu Qing now owes the little black beast a strange fish.
With the oil lamp burning brightly, Lu Qing opened the first page of "The Four-Sided Sword" and began to read.
Soon, a dense white light appeared on the manual, with a hint of red light mixed in.
【Four-Sided Blade: A secret manual recording advanced sword techniques.】
【The Bone and Tendon Realm sword technique emphasizes momentum and is all about slaughter.】
【Legend has it that this sword technique was created by a martial arts master at the peak of the Bone and Tendon Realm, who devoted his life to it. With this technique, he once fought against an expert at the Inner Strength Realm and survived.】
【Should we perform a download simulation?】
"It's actually a secret manual that's glowing red?"
Lu Qing was very surprised to see the red light on the manual.
Having awakened his superpowers for so long, he has developed a basic understanding of the superpowered light emanating from objects.
Anything that can be associated with red light is generally extraordinary and can be considered a treasure.
Whether it's a rare fish or a century-old ginseng, nothing beats this.
This book, "The Four Directions Knife," could emit a red light, even more intense than that of the strange fish and ginseng, which surprised Lu Qing.
The fact that this technique received such high praise only fueled Lu Qing's curiosity about the Four Directions Sword Technique.
He chose yes and then began to read the book "The Four-Sided Sword".
【Downloading in progress, current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%...】
As Lu Qing browsed through the pages, the download progress bar gradually increased.
【...97%, 98%, 99%, 100%】
【Download complete, simulation starting. Current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%...】
When Lu Qing finished reading "The Four Directions Blade", the progress bar reached 100%.
Then another progress bar appeared.
"I see. If you find out that someone is practicing a cultivation technique, you can simulate it directly. But if it's a secret manual, you need to download it first and then simulate it."
Lu Qing seemed to be deep in thought.
He waited quietly, and soon saw the progress bar jump to 100%.
【Simulation complete. Would you like to proceed with the training?】
Without hesitation, Lu Qing chose yes.
The next moment, countless key points and insights about the Four Directions Blade technique emerged from the depths of his mind.
Lu Qing closed his eyes slightly, quietly receiving this information.
After a long while, he opened his eyes, a hint of shock in them.
"This Four Directions Sword Technique is truly extraordinary."
At this moment, Lu Qing had already absorbed all the insights and information in his mind.
I have also gained a comprehensive understanding of this Four Directions Knife Technique.
This Four Directions Sword Technique doesn't have many moves, only nine in total.
Each move describes how to mobilize the power of the whole body to unleash the strongest power and momentum to kill all enemies.
The so-called "four directions" do not refer to four simple directions, but to all four directions of the world, and all the space that the eye can see.
One can imagine the immense ambition of the martial artist who created this sword technique.
After all, Lu Qing had seen in the manual that the Bone and Tendon Realm martial artist who created this sword technique originally intended to use it to defeat a strongman in the Internal Organ Realm.
Closing the manual, Lu Qing reached out and took a wooden sword from beside the table, then quietly went to the courtyard.
He repaired the wooden knife himself in the afternoon. It wasn't very pretty, but it was sturdy.
There was nothing he could do; in this rural area, where could he find a sword? He could only make do with what he had for now.
Anyway, he's just practicing his skills, not going to kill people.
Holding the wooden sword, Lu Qing stood quietly, his mind filled with various insights about the Four Directions Sword.
With this realization, he began to slowly practice the sword techniques recorded in "The Four Directions Sword".
After entering the Qi and Blood Realm, Lu Qing's control over his body became much stronger than before.
Although it was the first time practicing sword techniques, the first time he did it already looked quite good.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the moves of the Four Directions Blade are not complicated.
The Four Directions Sword Technique consists of nine forms, each simple and unadorned, emphasizing momentum rather than specific moves, making it easy to practice.
The real challenge lies in how to mobilize the strength of the entire body while striking, ensuring that each strike unleashes its maximum power.
This involves a very complex method of exerting force.
Body movement, footwork, the angle and method of striking the sword, the connection and explosive power of qi, blood and bones, timing, etc., all must be coordinated perfectly.
The degree of self-control required of a cultivator is extremely high.
After practicing several times, with the help of his mental perception, Lu Qing quickly mastered the basic techniques of the Four Directions Saber.
However, he has never been able to grasp the unique way of generating power in that sword technique.
He remained calm and continued practicing his swordsmanship over and over again.
He believed that practice makes perfect, and with the help of his insights, everything would fall into place naturally when he had mastered the sword techniques.
That is indeed the case.
As Lu Qing practiced repeatedly, he became more and more proficient in the moves of the Four Directions Sword Technique.
The transitions between the knife techniques gradually become smoother and more fluid, allowing for unimpeded operation.
Although the nine sword moves of the Four Directions Sword Technique are simple, they are interconnected and form a whole.
The nine techniques are interconnected, enough to cover the entire body without leaving any flaws.
Lu Qing practiced his swordsmanship continuously, constantly reducing the flaws in the transitions between sword strikes.
Finally, after he eliminated the last remaining flaw, a sudden realization arose in his heart.
The next moment, he stepped forward, his blood and qi connected, and he suddenly unleashed a powerful slash.
brush!
Driven by a powerful force, the blade's energy burst forth, directly pressing down the weeds beneath Lu Qing's feet.
After slashing with this blade, Lu Qing stood still.
A look of joy appeared on his face.
"So that's how it feels when the Qi and blood are connected, and the burst of energy explodes instantly."
Just now, Lu Qing finally figured out how to unleash his qi and blood while drawing his sword, pushing the power of his sword technique to its maximum.
According to the description of the "Four Directions Saber" manual, only by doing this can Lu Qing be considered to have formally entered the field of this saber technique.
When he can perform a set of sword techniques, each move can be coordinated with the burst of qi and blood, then he will have achieved minor mastery of sword techniques.
"It really wasn't easy. If it weren't for my special ability, I'm afraid even if I had another month, I might not have been able to master the basics of the Four Directions Blade."
Despite Lu Qing's seemingly effortless performance just now, he grasped the basic techniques of the Four Directions Blade in just one or two hours.
In reality, only he knew just how difficult this sword technique was.
You should know that he was in a state similar to enlightenment when he used his superpowers.
Even so, it still takes so much time to master the basics of the Four Directions Blade.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that he has never practiced swordsmanship.
But how many times in a lifetime can an ordinary martial artist have an epiphany?
If they were to practice this Four Directions Blade technique, those with less talent would likely struggle to even begin to grasp the basics within a year or two.
Picking up the wooden sword, Lu Qing was eager to strike while the iron was hot and continue practicing his swordsmanship based on this insight.
Suddenly, he heard a snapping sound from the wooden knife in his hand.
However, he had used too much force while practicing the last move of his sword technique, which cracked the wooden sword.
"It seems I need to find a way to get a real knife back."
