Withdrawing his mischievous hand, Lu Xuan smiled sheepishly: "I was busy digesting the mysterious ice energy, I didn't do it on purpose …"
Zhao Bing`er only stared at Lu Xuan without saying a word, and no one could tell what she was thinking.
"You said earlier that you're not allowed to find trouble with me after this, you can't go back on your word." Lu Xuan was a little nervous from Zhao Bing`er's stare, so he swallowed his saliva and reminded her.
Withdrawing her gaze, Zhao Bing`er sighed in her heart, feeling a little helpless. She really couldn't do anything to Lu Xuan. Although he had taken advantage of her, she was the one who begged him to do it. Moreover, she had just carefully checked the state of her body.
The mysterious ice energy had not been completely cleared, and a large part of it remained in her body. At this moment, it was still continuously seeping into her heart. She couldn't get rid of it herself, and could only rely on external forces to absorb it. Therefore, it was inevitable that she would continue to be taken advantage of by Lu Xuan.
"Don't worry, I said I won't touch you, so naturally I won't." Zhao Bing`er said. After a slight hesitation, she said: "One day later, help me clear the mysterious ice energy."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan was slightly startled, and then revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. He was originally thinking about how to ask Zhao Bing`er to absorb all the mysterious ice energy in her body, but he didn't expect Zhao Bing`er to take the initiative to ask, which saved him a lot of effort.
Seeing the joy and smile on Lu Xuan's face, Zhao Bing`er immediately became angry, and said with a face full of anger: "What are you smiling at?"
Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Zhao Bing`er probably thought that he was trying to take advantage of her on purpose, so he hurriedly explained, "Absorbing the power of ice in your body is extremely beneficial to me, so I'm happy. Don't think too much about it."
Hearing Lu Xuan's explanation, Zhao Bing`er's expression became slightly better, and said unhappily: "Who's thinking too much, just don't think too much."
Lu Xuan nodded, and then asked: "Do you also use a sword?"
Although Zhao Binger didn't know why Lu Xuan suddenly asked this, she still nodded. At least it would ease the awkwardness from before.
As expected, Lu Xuan was delighted in his heart. Zhao Bing`er's strength was much stronger than his own, and it was even to the extent that she was stronger than the three great elders of the Sword Sect. If he obtained Zhao Bing`er's guidance, then perhaps he would be able to improve even faster in the Sword Dao.
All this while, Lu Xuan had been relying on his own comprehension and practice. He had never received guidance from anyone. Now that he had met Zhao Binger, he naturally wouldn't let her go.
"Then, can you give me some pointers?" Lu Xuan asked, full of hope.
Zhao Bing`er hesitated for a moment before nodding her head. In any case, the mysterious ice energy had entered her body, and she was unable to cultivate even if she wanted to. She might as well give some pointers to Lu Xuan, and it could be considered as repaying him for saving her.
"If you have any questions regarding cultivation, you can ask me. However, cultivation mainly depends on talent and aptitude. As for martial skills and sword intent, I can give you some pointers." Zhao Bing`er said.
Lu Xuan nodded. In terms of cultivation, he didn't have any problems. With his current aptitude and the powerful Taiyi Fusion Art, there was still hope for him to surpass Zhao Bing`er. All he lacked now was time.
As for martial skills and sword intent, they were what he urgently needed to improve. Because these two could greatly increase his combat strength in a short period of time, especially sword intent. Right now, his sword intent had already reached the peak of the small success stage. With one more step, he would be able to step into the middle stage of sword intent, and his strength would greatly increase.
Immediately, Lu Xuan didn't hesitate anymore, and released all of his sword intent, pushing it to its peak state.
At the same time, he asked, "I feel like I've already touched the threshold of the middle stage of sword intent, but I still can't cross the threshold."
Zhao Bing`er closed her eyes and carefully felt the sword intent that Lu Xuan had released. She nodded slightly and said, "You have indeed touched the key point of the middle stage of sword intent. However, your sword intent now only has the form, but not the spirit. When the sword intent reaches the middle stage, everything in the world can become a sword. It's good that you remember this. As for how to reach the middle stage of sword intent, you can only feel it, but not explain it. How about this, I'll let you feel it, and see how much you can comprehend."
After saying that, a formless aura was released from Zhao Bing`er's body. It was her sword intent. Lu Xuan seized the time to comprehend it. It was a familiar yet strange feeling.
Zhao Bing`er activated the sword will and enveloped Lu Xuan completely. She opened it up to him without holding anything back, allowing him to feel it in detail. She then said, "My sword will is now almost at the peak of the middle stage. I'm just one step away from mastering it. Feel it carefully."
Without needing Zhao Bing`er's reminder, Lu Xuan had already carefully felt her sword intent. Because Zhao Bing`er didn't use all of her strength, the sword intent didn't seem very powerful. However, the essence of the sword intent was far from what Lu Xuan's sword intent could compare with.
He could clearly feel that Zhao Bing`er's sword intent seemed similar to his, but in fact, they were two completely different concepts.
Lu Xuan's sword intent focused on the form, but not the spirit. However, Zhao Bing`er's sword intent was the complete opposite; the form was scattered, but the spirit was not scattered!
It seemed that Zhao Bing`er's sword intent was scattered, like a beginner's sword intent. However, as long as Zhao Bing`er willed it, the countless sword intents could immediately gather together and create great damage!
Moreover, it was different from the sword that Lu Xuan used to kill Bai Chi. With Lu Xuan's current strength, he could at most condense all of his sword intent into an invisible sword. However, Zhao Bing`er's comprehension of the sword intent far surpassed Lu Xuan's. In an instant, she could use her sword intent to condense countless invisible swords.
"The form is gathered, but not the spirit. The form is scattered, but not the spirit … Everything in the world is a sword. Picking flowers and flying leaves can hurt people …" Lu Xuan murmured his comprehension in a low voice. He seemed to have an indescribable comprehension, as if he had understood something.
"Change," Lu Xuan suddenly said.
Zhao Bing`er was stunned. Then, a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes. This guy's comprehension is so strong. Could it be that he has already comprehended something?
However, she didn't hesitate at all. Following Lu Xuan's instructions, her sword intent suddenly changed. The scattered sword intent instantly condensed, and the sword intent surrounding Lu Xuan's body suddenly turned into a dozen invisible swords. As these invisible swords condensed, a strong aura was suddenly released. Lu Xuan could even clearly feel the sharp sword intent cutting his skin.
Each of the invisible swords had the power to kill Lu Xuan in an instant. Furthermore, Zhao Binger had yet to unleash her full power. One could see just how powerful she was from this!
However, Lu Xuan didn't have the time to marvel at Zhao Bing`er's strength. He just closed his eyes and grasped this rare opportunity to desperately comprehend.
"Change again!" Lu Xuan continued.
The astonishment in Zhao Bing`er's eyes became more and more intense. It was obvious that Lu Xuan wasn't speaking without thinking. He really had comprehended something.
At that moment, she didn't hesitate anymore. With a thought, a small stone on the ground was instantly controlled by her. With a "xiu" sound, this small stone was shot towards the wall at an extremely fast speed. A dull sound was heard as it hit the stone wall. Not only did this small stone not shatter, but it also fiercely embedded itself into the stone wall!
What kind of strength and control was needed to forcefully hit a stone into the stone wall!
Zhao Bing`er didn't even use a trace of yuan qi when she shot this stone. She only relied on her sword intent. Mid-stage sword intent, everything in the world became a sword. Picking flowers and flying leaves could hurt people. What she relied on was the condensed sword intent!
Because the stone that Zhao Bing`er shot just now contained a trace of sword intent, and that was why it was so powerful. The stone borrowed the sharpness of the sword intent, and the sword intent borrowed the strength of the stone. The combination of the two was many times more powerful than a single attack.
As this stone was shot out, Lu Xuan instantly stopped talking. He quickly sat down cross-legged and started to digest the comprehension he'd just comprehended. He had a feeling that the door to the mid-stage sword intent was already open to him.
Seeing that Lu Xuan had entered into a state of cultivation, Zhao Bing`er immediately withdrew her sword intent. However, her eyes were still staring at Lu Xuan. She thought to herself, Could it be that this guy's comprehension is really so high? He only comprehended my sword intent for a moment, and he could break through to the mid-stage sword intent?
She immediately shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She let Lu Xuan comprehend it. At the same time, she closed her eyes and slowly circulated her cultivation technique. However, she didn't try to contain the Dark Ice Energy. Instead, she took the initiative to speed up the speed at which the Dark Ice Energy seeped into her heart. The sooner the Dark Ice Energy was eliminated, the sooner she could recover her strength.
Time passed by quickly. Lu Xuan maintained his sitting posture and didn't move at all. After an unknown period of time, he suddenly opened his eyes. A sharp gaze instantly shot out from his eyes, and his entire aura changed. He was like a sharp sword that had just been drawn out of its sheath!
Mid-stage sword intent, breakthrough!
The change in Lu Xuan instantly awakened Zhao Bing`er, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She asked, "You've broken through?"
Lu Xuan smiled slightly. He didn't answer her question. Instead, he used his actions to answer her question. He instantly released his sword intent. It was still scattered, but as Lu Xuan thought about it, the sword intent instantly condensed into a shapeless sword of sword intent!
This shapeless sword was even more powerful than the one he used to kill Bai Chi. Not only was it more condensed, but it was also more powerful. Even Lu Xuan's understanding of sword intent was deeper than before.
However, condensing a shapeless sword was already Lu Xuan's limit. He had just broken through to the mid-stage sword intent, so he was naturally far from being able to condense a dozen shapeless swords at will like Zhao Bing`er.
But even so, it was enough to shock Zhao Bing`er. In just one night, he had successfully broken through to the mid-stage sword intent. This kind of comprehension and talent in swordsmanship were too powerful. Putting aside strength, in terms of achievement in sword intent, Lu Xuan had already caught up with her in the past.
Moreover, Lu Xuan's resources were far inferior to hers. If Lu Xuan was given enough resources, his achievements might be far greater.
Unfortunately, she wasn't a member of a sect anymore. Otherwise, she would definitely pull such a genius into her master's sect. No matter which sect it was, there would always be conflicts between factions. If her master's sect was stronger, she wouldn't have to have no one to support her after her master went missing.
Thinking of this, Zhao Bing`er sighed.
