The window hung low, and the shadows of the branches danced. A mischievous rose stretched in, and a young man was kneeling on the couch. Opposite the young man sat an elegant woman, who was smiling at Ying Xi.
"Xi 'er, you don't seem to be practicing your swordsmanship much recently. Don't you like practicing swordsmanship?”，Yun Ji poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ying Xi. Ying Xi hurriedly took it with both hands.
" Mother, of course I practice swordsmanship. You know, I recently found a new teacher. He taught me some new things, and I'm working hard to learn," Yun Ji nodded and didn't ask further.
" However, you still have to be careful. The sword is a lethal weapon. Don't hurt yourself." Ying Xi nodded with a smile. Although his swordsmanship was far from perfection, he had already far surpassed most swordsmen in the world. The sword was like life. To be able to go far in the path of swordsmanship, apart from talent and perseverance, the guidance of a master was also indispensable. The same was true for the investment of resources. Only by gathering all the factors could one become an expert. The inheritance of knowledge had always been like this. No one had ever been able to do something that surpassed everyone in a flash of inspiration. If there was, it would only be a point, and it was impossible to surpass everyone.
He had been learning the sword for many years. Although he had never touched a sword before, his comprehension was extremely high and his temperament was far beyond ordinary people. He also had the guidance of Sword Saint Ge Nia, one of the twin swords of the Phantom Valley. Therefore, it was expected that he would advance by leaps and bounds. Moreover, his horizons far exceeded this era. Strange encounters could create an expert, but they could not create a grandmaster. That was the case. The so-called wisdom was the ability to look at the world from a perspective that was far beyond ordinary people.
Without a doubt, he was someone who could see through the essence. After he started cultivating internal energy, he dared to try and summarize it. He did not practice the martial arts techniques that Ge Nia had taught him. Instead, he found many common martial arts manuals and compared them to constantly look for the patterns within.
The ancient people had been fighting against nature, and they had come up with some moves that could strengthen the body. They were also called Xinggong. One move would generate inner energy. The ancient witchcraft was also born in this ignorant era. This was a process that lasted for thousands of years. Countless predecessors had created countless wonderful martial arts. However, even the masters of this era did not realize the nature of inner energy.
In Ying Xi's opinion, the so-called internal energy was a kind of fluctuating aura. The strength of the internal energy cultivation depended on the strength of this fluctuation. The five elements of Yin and Yang were the description of this kind of power attribute. Therefore, whether it was the integration of Heaven and man of Taoism or the limit of Heaven and man of Yin-Yang School, they were constantly strengthening this fluctuation. The so-called people with high aptitude were those who were born to be able to assimilate more fluctuations. Therefore, such people often practiced martial arts with half the effort and made rapid progress.
This also explained why many people would suffer from Qi deviation when they practiced martial arts. It was because the internal energy fluctuation produced by practicing this kind of martial arts was too strong and had exceeded the limit that one could bear. This was very dangerous. On the other hand, it was more important to raise the limit of one's endurance. Raising the limit was also a breakthrough in the realm, which involved many mysterious things. One's mind and knowledge were the embodiment of the realm. Ying Xi's temperament and knowledge were unparalleled in the world, which was also why his cultivation had improved so quickly.
While they were drinking tea, a servant hurried in from outside and whispered something into Ying Xi and Yun Ji's ears. Ying Xi nodded, indicating that he understood. Not long after, someone reported,""Empress Yun Ji, the Minister of the Imperial Che Manor outside the palace, Zhao Gao, requests an audience," Yun Ji said." Lord Zhao, come in." Not long after, a person walked in. This person was tall and slender, with a cold face, red hair, and narrow eyes that carried a trace of evil charm. The most eye-catching thing about him was his fingers. This wasn't the hand of a swordsman. His fingers were slender and white, with a kind of gentleness of a woman. However, such a spotless hand, was it really like that?
"Zhao Gao greets Lady Yun Ji and the 12th Young Master." Ying Xi nodded."So it's the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture, Lord Zhao. May I know why you've come?”，Zhao Gao smiled and said,"I'm here to pass on His Majesty's decree." Ying Xi hurriedly stood up and bowed." Your son, Ying Xi, accepts the decree." Zhao Gao nodded. This Twelfth Young Master was indeed as cautious as others said. Although he was young, he was extremely steady.
" His Majesty said that the 12th Young Master is getting older and should learn some government affairs. Therefore, from today onwards, Young Master will go to the Qilin Palace to observe politics during court meetings." Ying Xi understood." I thank Father for his grace." As he spoke, he bowed towards Qin Shi Huang's bedroom. Zhao Gao slightly turned his body and said," Young Master is kind and filial. This servant will take his leave." As he spoke, he slowly retreated.
In the dead of night, Ying Xi stood with his sword in his hand. The sword Qi in his wooden sword was overflowing. This was his practice room, and the surroundings were very spacious. However, as he performed his sword technique, the surroundings seemed to be filled with sword shadows. However, they all disappeared in a flash. The internal energy in his body also surged, rising and falling like the tide. The candle flame in the distance also flickered. However, his sword technique suddenly changed. The originally cold and dark hall was filled with vitality, as if spring had already blossomed. However, his sword technique changed again. It was as if a hot summer had come, but it was as if clouds had come and rain had come. A desolate feeling rose leisurely. In the midst of the darkness, the sword technique suddenly opened and closed, as if winter had arrived!
"Good! In just a few months, he had already comprehended the mysteries of the Earth Swamp's Myriad Existences. At some point in time, an old man was standing on the side of the room. The sword shadows around him had no effect on him at all.
With a puff, a sword light flew past. The wooden sword didn't return to its sheath. Instead, it pierced through the stone of the building with incredible power.
"Master." Ying Xi smiled,"I just got a glimpse of the profundity of this, but I didn't expect the true meaning of farming to be so wondrous. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter contain the principle of life and death, and when I try to deduce it, it seems endless. The more I practice it, the more wonderful it becomes. It's not inferior to the secret arts of Gui Gu.""This farmer's martial arts can't be underestimated. The martial arts of the Ghost Valley are also extremely exquisite. Ge Nia already has his name on the sword manual, and his ranking is only below your father's Tianwen. I heard that his junior brother Wei Zhuang's martial arts are also extraordinary. He single-handedly killed the Mo family's giant, Six-fingered Black Swordsman, and made a name for himself in the pugilistic world."
"Anger can make the vassals fear, and peace can make the world rest. For hundreds of years, behind every name that influences the world, there is the name of Gui Gu. Mister Gui Gu, hehe, I wonder who will inherit this title, Mister Gai or Wei Zhuang," Baiqi said." The world has been unified, and it's time for the name Haunted Valley to leave." Ying Xi knew what Baiqi was referring to, but he did not reply.
"Master, Imperial Father asked me to go to the Qilin Palace to observe the government. Is it Master who helped me?”，When Baiqi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh,"Oh, do you think I was the one who suggested to His Majesty to let you observe politics? "You're wrong, this is His Majesty's own idea." Ying Xi sighed." Right now, Imperial Father has many children and only Big Brother Fusu is in Qilin Hall to observe the government. Now, he has passed this rare grace over many brothers and bestowed it on me. It's truly puzzling. Furthermore, the person who delivered the decree also made me very concerned."
"You mean Zhao Gao?" Ying Xi nodded,"This person is sinister and cold, and his personality is hard to predict. What's even more interesting is that he controls a lethal weapon of the empire." Bai Qi frowned and spat out two words."A net!"
