Gao Jing had once tried practicing swordsmanship when he was wandering around.

He didn't learn any sword techniques. He only tried to practice the basic movements such as stabbing, chopping, chopping, and lifting. He thought that it was like what was said in novels. If he practiced a movement thousands of times, he would naturally have power...

He even created his own sword technique!

However, reality proved that he was thinking too much. No matter how focused he looked on the surface, there were many distracting thoughts when he practiced.

All kinds of complicated thoughts came out of his mind, and he couldn't control them at all. Therefore, his movements were all crooked and powerless.

This meant that one's body and mind could not be in harmony.

Gao Jing had been restraining himself for two years in the Small Sage Manor.

Bad habits would easily take over if one did not pay attention to them. For example, if one's will was slightly weaker, one would unknowingly become decadent.

Including the year he spent on the road, Gao Jing spent a total of three years on self-restraint, always demanding himself to be sincere.

Now that he had finally made some small progress, when he picked up the sword again, the distracting thoughts in his heart were much less.

……

Han Fei was drinking as usual and watching Gao Jing practice his sword.

This was a sword technique that Gao Jing had specially gone to the Six Arts Hall to see. It was not a complicated sword technique, but just a basic movement.

He recorded these movements in the book, then came back to watch them carefully, slowly imitating and adjusting them.

The book's ability to " mark key points " allowed Gao Jing to clearly observe the point of strength of each move... It was more detailed, precise, and intuitive than the guidance of the teachers of the Six Arts Hall.

Gao Jing's movements were very slow. He stabbed straight and slowly. A bamboo leaf floated to the ground. He hadn't finished stabbing…so naturally, there was no power to speak of.

However, if one observed carefully, one would find that Gao Jing was constantly making subtle adjustments to various parts of his body.

Because his spirit had become pure, he could gradually sense his body and the strength of his muscles at every moment. If he made a mistake, he would adjust it in time.

Therefore, although their movements were slow, they looked very coordinated!

Han Fei, who didn't know martial arts, couldn't help but laugh.""Little Uncle-Master, your sword technique is slow. If you really wanted to stab someone, they would have run away long ago.”

Gao Jing was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he practiced all the basic sword moves in an extremely slow manner before he withdrew his sword and exhaled.

It was clearly a very slow movement, but Gao Jing was so tired that he was sweating all over.

Walking to the table, Gao Jing's steps were neither fast nor slow. His back was straight. After sitting down, he let out a long sigh and said,"Fast and slow are relative. I'm slow now so that I can be fast in the future. When I'm slow, my movements are standard. When I'm fast, my movements are naturally standard.”

Han Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly." I don't know martial arts, but Youngest Uncle seems to be much more energetic now, and his height is also…"

With that, Han Fei gestured, indicating that Gao Jing's head suddenly jumped up.

"It's normal. In the past, when we were homeless and hungry, our bodies naturally couldn't grow.”

"Now that I don't have to worry about food and drink, coupled with my good mentality, my physique has begun to grow rapidly after my body has recovered. My essence, qi, and spirit have also increased greatly.”

Gao Jing poured himself a cup of tea and looked at Han Fei.""Your 'still' state is getting deeper and deeper. It won't be long before you can maintain the 'still' state and enter the 'constant steady'."”

The fact that Han Fei had entered the state of "meditation" could not disturb Gao Jing anymore, so he spoke calmly.

Han Fei didn't feel proud this time. He smiled bitterly and said,"" I have a dream every night. When I wake up, I can't remember what it is, but there are still tears on my pillow. I don't know if they are tears of sadness or the joy of understanding…"

Gao Jing remained silent. He had not entered the state of " meditation " yet, so how would he know how he would feel?

Han Fei didn't expect Gao Jing to answer. He said to himself,"" I always hear a song in my dreams. It's as if my heart has become clear and I've thought through many things…I feel a kind of calling…"

Gao Jing was stunned for a moment. He took out a book from his waist and flipped through it."Legend has it that there was a sword called the Reverse Scale, a divine sword of Legalism…The State of Zheng was the origin of Legalism, and that sword finally appeared in the State of Zheng, which is now Korea.”

Gao Jing didn't say this according to the plot. There was really a legendary record of this sword in the books of the Small Holy Manor.

Little Uncle, you mean this sword is summoning me?”

Gao Jing didn't know if it was the Inversed-Scale Sword summoning him.

There were many strange things in this world. Eight souls could reside in one body. It was not impossible for a Legalist divine sword with a sword spirit to summon a master who had mastered Legalism.

Gao Jing yearned for the wonders of the "Still" state even more.

"You're leaving." Gao Jing said with certainty.

Han Fei nodded." I'll bid farewell to my teacher later. Then I'll travel according to the summoning and finally return to Korea."”

Gao Jing said regretfully,"It wasn't easy for you to enter 'fixation'. Why didn't you wait for' constant fixation'?"”

Han Fei smiled." Youngest Uncle, you know that I don't pursue the 'stability' realm. I just want to save Korea with what I've learned…Look at Junior Brother Li Si. He didn't pursue the 'stability' realm either.”

" Li Si…" Gao Jing was silent for a moment before saying,""His mind is filled with power and wealth, and he has always wanted to compete with you for success or failure…He has too many thoughts and can't straighten his heart.”

Han Fei smiled and asked,""Little Uncle-Master is also about to enter a meditative state, right?"

Gao Jing shook his head and said," I don't know. Maybe tomorrow, maybe a month, maybe a year, maybe I won't be able to enter in my lifetime…Why do you ask?"”

Han Fei asked in a low voice, Little Uncle-Master, do you want to go to South Korea after you enter the 'mind'? Anyway, with this book, you can learn anywhere.”

As he spoke, he pointed at the thread-bound book in Gao Jing's hand.

"Why are you going to Korea?" Gao Jing asked. I don't know how to govern a country, so I can't help you.”

Han Fei chuckled and whispered," Little Uncle, this book is at least ten percent thicker than before. The hundreds of thousands of books in the Little Saint Manor can only make this book a little thicker…Little Uncle, you've learned a lot from this book!”

Gao Jing glanced at Han Fei and didn't answer.

Han Fei continued," And every time Youngest Uncle reads it, he only reads the first few new pages and never turns to the back…The knowledge at the back of this book is more than ten times more than that of the Little Saint Manor. What exactly is it? Han Fei didn't believe that there was no way to govern a country.”

The knowledge of this era was for governing the country, and Han Fei couldn't think of anything else.

"Li Si doesn't believe it either!" Li Si came over and said,""Greetings, Youngest Uncle, Greetings, Senior Brother.”

Gao Jing threw the book to them. Take a look for yourself."

Han Fei's face turned bitter. He flipped through it and shook his head."I can't see…or only Little Uncle-Master can see.”
