"That last question. You should answer me too." Lu Yu still couldn't forget about the ring.
"That's very simple. I got this ring unintentionally in a secret place outside the domain after I became the sword god. However, I had already become the sword god at that time, and this treasure was not very useful to me, so I just wore it casually. It was in my hand. I didn’t know that this ring is very good for refining weapons until something happened later. However, wearing it normally will bring bad luck.” The middle-aged man said indifferently.
After hearing this, Lu Yu's mind suddenly flashed the scene of the last time he gambled and lost so badly. Therefore, I also have a deep understanding of the bad luck of wearing this ring at ordinary times.
"Boy, now you are willing to worship me as your teacher." The middle-aged man asked lightly, looking like a master of Taoism.
Lu Yu cursed secretly in his heart, thinking: "If I don't worship you as a teacher, I won't be killed by you in a fit of anger, and I will be killed by people who are watching outside. Being able to worship an expert as a teacher for no reason is a good thing for myself. It is absolutely beneficial and harmless."
"Disciple Lu Yu pays homage to Master." Lu Yu quickly knelt down and kowtowed three times. The middle-aged man stood on the spot with a kind face, accepting the three worships calmly.
"Okay, very good! My real name is Xia Yu, but the main body has already fallen. Now I am just a half-remnant soul. I have accepted you as a disciple for the main body, and now I will teach you some exercises for the main body. That's all for you. You don't have to call me Shizun from now on. After all, I'm not the main body, so you can call me Mr. Xia from now on." The middle-aged man said this, his eyes dimmed immediately.
"Uh..." Lu Yu was a little stunned when he heard this. He insisted on accepting himself as an apprentice before, but now he said that he accepted him for the main body. What a queer man.
"Old Xia, what is the black stone in my hand?" Lu Yu suddenly remembered the fuse that caused this vision, and took out another black stone from the storage bag.
"This is a soul stone. Without it, I can't condense into a shape to talk to you now. You need to find more soul stones like this in the future. I need such a soul stone in about a month." Xia Lao pointed to Lu Yu's hand Stone said.
"Then what is the use of this soul stone besides making you condense into shape?" Lu Yu was also somewhat interested in this stone.
"Useful? Of course, the ancestors of the stall owner who bought the soul stone should have practiced the way of ghosts. Therefore, this soul stone is extremely useful to them. Didn't the stall owner say that the first ancestor of his family died and later left it behind?" A book? It is estimated that the Patriarch felt that he would not be able to enter the six realms of reincarnation after practicing the Ghost Dao Kungfu, so he burned that book." Xia Lao guessed. The actual situation is similar to what Mr. Xia said.
After hearing this, Lu Yu hurriedly put the black stone into the storage bag. After all, he is still a twelve-year-old child, and he is still a little afraid of real ghosts.
"That's right. The guy watching outside should be no problem with your supernatural powers." Lu Yu glanced at the window and said.
When Xia Lao heard this, his face flushed slightly, and he said: "I am only a half-wisp of remnant soul, and I have no magic power at all. Although I have soul power, but this little soul power can barely condense my body, let alone fight with others." There's a fight."
When Lu Yu heard this, he was a little depressed. He also said: "Why don't you teach me some peerless swordsmanship right now. I'll go out of the market later so I can deal with them."
Xia Lao said angrily: "Do you think there will be only one or two people after leaving Fangshi? Besides... I am just a half-wisp of a remnant soul, and the cultivation method is not in my sea of consciousness. It is in another remnant soul. But that guy is now outside the domain."
"What!" Lu Yu went crazy. Immediately, there was a feeling of being cheated. I thought this master was a peerless master, but it turned out that he had no magic power at all, so he couldn't do anything. Then I thought that this master would teach me the experience of exercises, so that my future cultivation path would be smoother. As a result, there was no practice teaching. What kind of master is this
Xia Lao also blushed, but explained in a calm tone: "Back then, after a ray of remnant soul escaped from the main body, I felt that the target was still a bit big, so the remnant soul was divided into two by secret methods again, and I practiced exercises and fighting skills. It's all in that remnant soul. I brought some other memories and rings to the Sword Domain. However, as long as you can go outside the domain, naturally that half-wisp soul can teach you exercises and combat skills."
"External Territory, what kind of place is that?" Lu Yu looked forward to hearing Mr. Xia's words. As long as you go outside the territory, you can also get powerful skills.
"What? You don't even know about the outside world. When I was a sword god, this is something that the lowest-level monks on every planet should know." Elder Xia said suspiciously.
"Then why don't I know? Don't change the subject. Tell me first, as my master, what do you want to teach me?" Lu Yu said angrily.
After listening to Lu Yu's words, Mr. Xia smiled and said, "Although I haven't practiced exercises, I have two great supernatural powers that I can teach you. Coupled with my good knowledge and rich experience, you will definitely be able to practice swords. After the emperor, go to the outer world to find that guy who will teach you exercises."
"The Sword Emperor is too far away from me. Tell me first, what supernatural powers can you teach me?" Lu Yu suppressed the anger in his heart and asked as calmly as possible. This guy talks about an outsider and a sword god, but he doesn't know if it's true or not. The right way is to learn the real skills.
"I think you have good spiritual sense, and I can teach you how to refine the supernatural powers of puppets." Old Xia said confidently.
As for the puppet, Lu Yu had heard old man Sun mention it before. The ghost domain gate, the first gate of the magic way, is designed to manipulate puppet swordsmen to attack, and its power is astonishing. In fact, you can understand it when you think about it. A person can control several puppets with similar cultivation level as himself to defend against the enemy, which is equivalent to multiplying his strength several times for nothing. Old man Sun found out that Lu Yu had a strong spiritual sense before, so he said that Lu Yu came to the wrong sect, and he should go to the ghost domain gate instead.
Seeing that Lu Yu was a little moved, Xia Lao said, "You are also very intelligent, and I can teach you the way of formation."
Lu Yu had been fascinated by the wonder of the match for a long time, and when he heard this, he immediately put a smile on his face. He flattered and said: "The boy has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai. I didn't expect Mr. Xia to have so many supernatural powers."
"These supernatural powers are not taught to you by Bai. You have to exchange soul stones." Xia Lao smiled slyly.
"Soul stone? What is the exchange method?" Lu Yu asked.
"Calculate me as a disadvantage, a formula of one hundred low-grade soul stones." Xia Lao looked as if he had suffered a great loss.
"What kind of soul stone is that one just now?" Lu Yu smiled wryly after listening to Xia Lao's words.
"Those are middle-grade soul stones. You're lucky, kid, to buy so many middle-grade soul stones with only a few middle-grade spirit stones." Elder Xia said with a smile.
"Then what can these soul stones be exchanged for with you." Lu Yu handed the soul stones in the storage bag to Mr. Xia, staring at him eagerly.
General Xia weighed the soul stone in his hand, and said with a troubled expression: "With such a small amount of spirit stones, you can only learn a few formulas, which is useless at all. However, I am a kind person. I can teach alchemy Control the lowest-level phantom puppet, and now solve your current predicament."
"Phantom puppet?" Lu Yu asked.
Elder Xia then took out another jade slip from the void and threw it to Lu Yu. Holding the jade slip in his hand, Lu Yu carefully read the puppet formula and the puppet refining method inside.
After a long while, Lu Yu opened his eyes with a hint of shock. He muttered: "The puppet art is really extraordinary."
"You are convinced this time, kid!" Elder Xia said with a laugh.
"Convinced. But, how do you know that I just bought these materials." Lu Yu said convincedly.
"Although the old man has no mana, my spiritual consciousness is only one millionth of my body. However, even so. The average sword emperor is not as big as my spiritual consciousness. This area is thousands of miles away. If I want to see it, it is an ant. It can't escape my eyes." Old Xia replied with a smile.
Lu Yu was speechless for a while, thinking to himself that he had lost all his secrets
"Okay, go and train the puppets. As for the imprints planted on your body, I will teach you a formula. You can divide these imprints into each puppet." After finishing speaking, Old Xia said nothing. talking. Apparently Xia Lao used the technique of sound transmission.
"You remember everything." Xia Lao asked.
"Remember. Then I will go to the refining room of the inn to refine these things." Lu Yu finished.
"Okay. The old man also spent a lot of soul power today. I also went to rest in the ring." Xia Lao nodded and smiled.
Lu Yu respectfully bowed to Mr. Xia and made a salute. Mr. Xia smiled heartily, and disappeared in an instant. Lu Yu put the ring in his hand back into the interlayer.
Lu Yu walked out of the room and was in a daze as he was about to go to the refining room of the inn. He raised his head and looked at the moon outside the courtyard. Immediately, the whole person froze, staring at the moon obsessively. In Lu Yu's eyes, every plant and tree in Lujia Village, as well as grandfather, father, mother and other villagers, kept appearing. I don't know if my grandfather is in good health, if my father is still forging iron in the shop, if my mother is still mending under the lamp...
In a separate space of the ring, Mr. Xia lay on a wicker chair, half-closed his eyes, smiled, and said in a low voice: "This child is really blessed. I didn't expect that he would be enlightened like this. In this way If so, his state of mind will definitely go to the next level."
After about a cup of tea, Lu Yu's eyes slowly regained clarity. He murmured in a low voice: "It seems that Mr. Xia and his grandfather are somewhat similar, which makes me homesick. However, everyone has their own way to go. Grandfather's way is the way of reading, and father's way is the way of reading. The way of forging iron, and my way is to cultivate to the highest level. Find out what is the sky and what is the way."
This epiphany made Lu Yu more determined that he would follow the path in the future, and some small thoughts in his heart disappeared at this time. Lu Yu looked up at the bright moon in the sky again, smiled lowly, and walked towards the refining room of the inn... "Then the last question. You should answer me too." Lu Yu still couldn't forget about the ring.
"That's very simple. I got this ring unintentionally in a secret place outside the domain after I became the sword god. However, I had already become the sword god at that time, and this treasure was not very useful to me, so I just wore it casually. It was in my hand.
