The main reason why Shen Miaoling was able to draw Qi into her body so quickly, in addition to her concentration, was that she was constantly deepening her connection with the spiritual energy.
The man in black robe once said that these three sword moves are the three swords of heaven, earth and man.
This first move of the human sword should perhaps be constantly strengthened in connection with the sword in the hand, and can only be learned after the method of the unity of man and sword is comprehended.
Xu Chunniang closed her eyes, focused her consciousness, and focused all her attention on the sword in her hand.
After practicing sword skills countless times, her sword moves have already reached perfection.
What she lacked wasn't practice, but a connection with the sword.
The unity of man and sword requires absolute harmony with the sword. The sword is her and she is the sword. She can use it as easily as with her own arm and at will.
The reason why the man in black robe could control the wooden sword and release these three sword moves was because his understanding of the sword had already reached an extremely high level.
Xu Chunniang was a practitioner of magic and had never been exposed to swordsmanship, so she learned sword skills in the usual way of practitioners of magic.
So he practiced sword-fighting all day, but only learned the basics and did not understand the true meaning of sword-fighting.
Sword moves are never single and fixed; they will change with the intention of the person wielding the sword and produce different effects.
Xu Chunniang imagined that she was a sword, not sharp enough, but heavy enough, just like the sword blank in her hand.
What the sword points to is not the good and evil in the secular world, but the morality and persistence in her heart.
Unconsciously, the aura on her body changed, and it was vaguely in line with the sword embryo in her hand.
Xu Chunniang opened her eyes and vaguely understood something.
The sword of man is the unity of man and sword.
Everyone's understanding of Tao is different, so after combining the body with the sword, the sword path they comprehend is also different.
She had been practicing sword moves these days, but she was just imitating the sword intent of the man in black robe.
But things that are imitated are not your own after all.
Even if she could skillfully use the same moves as the man in black, she would never be able to learn the true sword of man.
But now, Xu Chunniang has found the right way.
Although the connection between her and the sword embryo is still very weak, as long as she continues in this way, she will eventually find her own sword path.
As spring went and autumn came, the osmanthus flowers in the yard bloomed year after year. Xu Chunniang no longer wielded the sword, but spent all her time meditating on sword skills.
The process of understanding the sword is also a process of her looking within herself and constantly perfecting her Tao heart.
During these three years, she did not practice cultivation anymore, but her cultivation became even more solid.
Three years later, Shen Miaoling's cultivation level had also progressed from drawing Qi into the body to the third level of Qi training.
It is not easy for her to cultivate to the third level of Qi training in the mortal world with thin spiritual energy with the qualifications of five spiritual roots.
On this day, it was one quarter past the hour of Mao, but there was no sign of Shen Miaoling.
In the past three years, Shen Miaoling has never slacked off for a single day. Every day, before the morning hour, she would come to the courtyard to practice.
This is the first time such a situation has occurred.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment, released her spiritual sense, and soon saw Shen Miaoling who was stopped by several strong men.
Shen Miaoling held the bamboo pole in her hand, but her face showed no fear, and she said without question, "Get out of the way!"
Several strong men said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Second Miss, it was the eldest master who ordered us to come here to ask you to go home. You have been making trouble for so long, it is time for you to go back."
Shen Miaoling's pretty face was slightly cold. She had finally escaped from that home, so how could she be willing to go back
"If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude!"
Several strong men looked at each other and still refused to give up.
If I go back like this, how can I report to the eldest master
"Second Miss, the marriage your family arranged for you is already the best. Although you have a problem with your eyesight and cannot see, that family is still willing to accept you because of the Duke's Mansion.
Without the support of the Duke's Mansion, what can you, a blind weak woman, do?"
Shen Miaoling had no expression on her face. She had heard this set of words countless times since she became blind.
My brother really has a good plan. He wants to make full use of her every last bit of value.
"I'll say this one last time, I'm not going back with you."
Upon hearing this, the leader said sorry and directed his men to rush towards Shen Miaoling.
Shen Miaoling listened to the sound and determined the location. She stood still as a mountain, and suddenly swung the bamboo pole in her hand, as if it had eyes, and waved it towards the few people.
With a few "slap" sounds, the bamboo poles hit several people, making it impossible for them to get close for a while.
The leader covered his painful arm and was secretly frightened.
He had received news before that after the second young lady moved out, she found a master to learn skills for herself.
He didn't take it seriously before, thinking that the second young lady was a blind person and couldn't learn anything.
Unexpectedly, she could force them back with just a bamboo pole.
The leader gestured to the others, asking them to step back first, and then looked at Shen Miaoling.
"Second Miss, why are you so stubborn? I admit that you have some skills. Even though you are blind, you can still learn exquisite stick techniques. But you came from the Duke's Mansion, so you naturally know the ability of the eldest son.
If you anger the eldest master, you will be the only one who suffers."
Shen Miaoling remained calm and said calmly, "There are always people who are better than you, and there are always higher powers. Even if the Duke's Mansion is powerful, it cannot cover the sky with one hand."
The leader sneered. Even the City Lord's Mansion gave way to the Duke's Mansion. Only the Second Young Miss was so naive that she insisted on going against the Duke's Mansion.
"Second Miss, I will not bother you for now. I just hope that you will know when to act when facing the eldest master in the future."
He bowed to Shen Miaoling and led the others away.
Seeing this, Xu Chunniang withdrew her consciousness.
Although Shen Miaoling only has the third level of Qi training, this level of cultivation is more than enough for her in the mortal world.
Moreover, when dealing with those mortals, she did not waste her spiritual energy, but only used her stick skills to make them retreat.
The sound of the bamboo pole exploring the way gradually came closer, and then, the courtyard door was pushed open with a creaking sound, and Shen Miaoling's face showed an apologetic look.
"Master, I was delayed by something just now. I am late."
"No problem."
After a pause, Xu Chunniang added, "You used the stick technique well."
Shen Miaoling's face showed embarrassment. Did the master see what happened just now
She said modestly, "It's all because of Master's good teaching."
After her cultivation broke through the second level of Qi training, her master originally planned to teach her boxing and kicking skills, but for some reason he suddenly changed his mind and taught her a set of stick techniques.
But I have to say, this method of mixing suits her very well.
She has excellent hearing, but her eyesight is not so good.
If you really learn Kung Fu, but then put it into practice, the effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
The stick technique was different, she was used to holding a bamboo pole and it was easy for her to use.
In addition to this set of stick techniques, she also learned a few magic techniques from her master, but there was no need to use magic techniques to deal with a few mortals who had not practiced magic.
Xu Chunniang shook her head and said, "I see you practicing every day, so there's no need to be so humble.
I have made some breakthroughs in my swordsmanship recently, and I want to go out and travel around, so I want to ask you, do you want to go with me?"
