Xia Ruofei spent another half a month or so before he finally succeeded in displaying the nine consecutive moves of the "Jade Light Sword". Moreover, the momentum and power of each move were higher than the previous one. At the ninth move, he reached the peak. When the sword slashed out, it felt as if the sky and earth had changed color. The sea below was directly split open by the sword Qi, forming a deep ravine that was hundreds of meters long. It took a long time for it to slowly recover.
When the ninth move was displayed, Xia Ruofei looked at the deep ravine and couldn't believe that it was caused by him.
He couldn't help but sigh. This was the strength that a Nascent Soul stage cultivator should have! It could really be said to be earth-shattering. Compared to before, although his cultivation had reached the early Nascent Soul stage and his spiritual power had directly broken through to the Holy Spirit Realm, his attack power was still somewhat weak. That was to say, the high-level cultivators of the cultivation world on Earth had disappeared. Otherwise, Xia Ruofei felt that he would be a burden to this group and drag down everyone's average score.
With a divine tool like the Ring-Tu space and so many cultivation resources, if he couldn't crush those of the same level and defeat those of a higher level, then it would be a failure.
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei also realized his shortcomings in time and decisively began to make up for them.
Of course, successfully displaying the entire set of sword techniques once didn't mean that Xia Ruofei had really completely mastered the "Jade Light Sword". Once or twice, there was more or less an element of luck. Moreover, in the process of actual combat, everything happened in a flash and one's mind was highly tense. Under such circumstances, the possibility of a deviation was very high. With his current level, if he really encountered an actual combat, there was a 99% chance that he wouldn't be able to display a complete set of the "Jade Light Sword". Perhaps he would be forced to stop at the third or fourth move.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei was still very clear-headed in this aspect. He knew that he needed to constantly practice until it became instinctive.
The "Jade Light Sword" was just barely able to be fully displayed. As for the other two battle techniques, he spent even less energy and naturally couldn't be said to be proficient. To truly master these three battle techniques, Xia Ruofei still had a long way to go.
Xia Ruofei planned to mainly stay in the Ring-Tu space for a period of time in the future and focus on honing his battle techniques.
He believed that his current efforts would definitely be richly rewarded in the future. It was very likely that he would be able to master a deeper level and be able to save his own life at a critical moment.
Xia Ruofei didn't know exactly what crisis the cultivation world was facing, but he had always believed in one point, that was, there was nothing wrong with making sufficient preparations.
Back when he was in the army, he had always been instilled with such thoughts. Even when dealing with enemy forces with average combat strength and lousy equipment, the Lone Wolf Commandos would still be armed to the teeth. So what if they were using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken? Wouldn't it be better to kill them faster? What's more, how did he know that it was really a chicken? ... what if it was a cow? It might even be a rhinoceros!
However, while dreams were plentiful, reality was bony.
Counting from the first day, Xia Ruofei had only been in seclusion for about a month, and someone had already knocked on his door outside.
At that time, Xia Ruofei was still in the Ring-Tu space, controlling the Blue Touring Immortal Sword to slash at the sea. He felt that someone outside had triggered the outermost array — when he was in seclusion, he would always release a trace of mental strength to the outside world, so he would know immediately if anything happened.
Xia Ruofei frowned slightly. His mental strength swept outside and saw Song Wei and Ling Qingxue standing at the door.
They had no idea that they had already triggered the outermost alarm array. They were still standing there with conflicted expressions, as if they were hesitating whether to knock on the door.
Xia Ruofei would use his mental strength to perceive the situation outside before he rested every day. Naturally, he knew that Lu You hadn't left Peach Blossom Island. Although he didn't deliberately eavesdrop on their conversation, he at least knew that Lu You wouldn't leave in a short period of time.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei really wanted to pretend that he didn't know that Song Wei and Ling Qingxue were outside the door, and then continue to cultivate.
However, he couldn't do that. It was already very inappropriate for him to hide in seclusion on the first day that Lu You came to Peach Blossom Island. If he didn't even come out when someone knocked on his door, it would be even more obvious and hurtful. In addition, he didn't know whether Song Wei and Ling Qingxue were looking for him for something important. If he delayed the important matter, the gains would not make up for the losses. Also, if he pretended that he didn't know when the two knocked on the door, it would obviously make everyone worry that something went wrong when he was in seclusion.
Therefore, even though he was very unwilling, Xia Ruofei quickly left the Spirit Map space and returned to the room in the outside world. He casually put away the Spirit Map Scroll.
He was too lazy to remove those arrays — he was prepared to continue his seclusion after seeing Lu You and Ling Qingxue if there was nothing else.
It wasn't entirely to avoid Lu You. During this period of time, he was really dedicated to cultivating his Combat Techniques. After about a month of hard practice, he had become more and more aware of it. His control of his strength had improved significantly. Now, even if he didn't use any Combat Techniques, he simply used his Yuan Qi or mental strength to fight. The power was much greater than before. This was the effect brought about by his improved control of his strength.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei was also full of motivation at this time. In the entire cultivation world, there was no one who could be his opponent. In the situation where he couldn't find an opportunity to practice his Combat Techniques, hiding in the Ring-Tu space was obviously a very good choice.
Xia Ruofei's mental strength swept across the room. In a few breaths, the messy room became very tidy. All the items had been returned to their original places. There wasn't a single crease on the bedsheets. The quilt had also become a square piece of tofu — with his mental strength of the Holy Spirit Realm, it was a piece of cake to complete such a simple task.
After tidying up the room, Xia Ruofei didn't dawdle any longer. He directly walked over and opened the door.
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue hesitated for a long time and finally decided to knock on the door. As a result, just as Ling Qingxue raised her hand, the door was directly opened before she could knock on the door. The two of them couldn't help but be shocked.
After coming back to her senses, Ling Qingxue asked in surprise, "Ruofei, you're out?"
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Do you think it's so coincidental? It was you who triggered the outer formation. I sensed it when I was cultivating and found that it was the two of you. That's why I came out! What's the matter? "
Song Wei asked with some concern, "Ruofei, will it affect your cultivation?"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Why did you come together? Did something happen on the island? "
"It's okay! It's okay! "Ling Qingxue said quickly." You don't have to worry about that! "
Xia Ruofei shrugged and looked at his two confidantes, waiting for them to continue.
Ling Qingxue looked at Song Wei and gave her a look, indicating that she should speak.
Song Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "Ruofei, actually, we just want to see if you're almost done with your closed-door cultivation … It's been a month … Don't tell me you're …"
Xia Ruofei didn't wait for Song Wei to finish. He quickly interrupted her and said, "I've been studying some combat methods and secret skills during this period of time. It's more time-consuming."
"Combat methods, secret skills?" Ling Qingxue couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to fight with someone?"
"Do I have to fight with someone to learn? Cultivators should have mastered some combat skills! " Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He then said, "Besides, if I really had to wait until a battle broke out to learn at the last minute, how would it be too late?"
"You've really been in closed-door cultivation for the past month?" Ling Qingxue said doubtfully, "I thought you were hiding …"
"How could I joke about this kind of thing?" Xia Ruofei didn't wait for Ling Qingxue to finish and said hurriedly, "I've really been studying combat methods and secret skills!"
After that, Xia Ruofei directly used his mental strength to transform a long saber.
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue were stunned when they saw the long saber appear out of thin air. At first, they thought that Xia Ruofei had taken it out of his storage space. However, the two of them were cultivators in the Golden Core Stage, so they still had basic eyesight. Therefore, they discovered the abnormality of this long saber in a short period of time.
Song Wei's eyes narrowed as he asked, "Ruofei, is this condensed from your mental strength?"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "I've only mastered it so far, so you can see it at a glance. Moreover, if I really use it in a battle, its power is only average. If I cultivate it to the point of perfection, combined with my mental strength in the Holy Spirit Realm, I'll definitely be able to pass off the fake as the real thing. It'll be even more destructive than a real weapon."
"It looks so powerful …" Ling Qingxue said as she looked at the long saber that was emitting a strong mental aura.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I'm still practicing swordsmanship and a method of using vital energy. However, I can't demonstrate it to you here. It's more destructive, and I haven't fully mastered it yet. If I'm not careful, I might accidentally blow up the entire building …"
"That's ridiculous!" Ling Qingxue couldn't help but be speechless. However, she quickly caught the loophole in Xia Ruofei's words and immediately asked, "Then how are you going to practice hiding in your room? If it's so dangerous, it's a miracle that your room still exists … "
Xia Ruofei was stunned. He thought to himself, "When did this girl become so smart?"
However, he wasn't stumped by Ling Qingxue's question. Almost without thinking, he said, "I'm mainly practicing the secret technique of mental strength! As for the swordsmanship and the method of using vital energy that I just mentioned, I'm still in the stage of theoretical research and learning. I can only put it into practice after I understand the principles of combat techniques and combat techniques! That's why I said that I haven't fully mastered it yet. I can't demonstrate it to you! "
"Oh …" Ling Qingxue said, "That seems to make sense …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Say it! What do you want from me? If there's nothing important, I'll continue my closed-door training! "
The reason why he told Song Wei and Ling Qingxue about his practice of combat techniques and combat techniques was that, on the one hand, he wanted to show that he was really in closed-door training. On the other hand, he really wanted to say a few words to the two of them before going back to his closed-door training. His words would definitely be passed on to Lu You through the two of them. This way, it wouldn't be too rude.
After all, the most important thing for a cultivator was cultivation. If he had some enlightenment in cultivation, even if he was receiving guests, it wouldn't prevent him from going into closed-door training. Everyone would understand.
Song Wei thought for a moment and said, "Ruofei, since you're not in closed-door training, you might as well take a rest first. Strike a balance between work and rest!"
Xia Ruofei opened his mouth, but Song Wei waved his hand and said, "Listen to me … After all, Lu You is a guest we invited. She has been here for a month. Except for the first day when you picked her up, you completely avoided her. You haven't even had a meal together. Isn't it inappropriate?"
Xia Ruofei's expression froze. He opened his mouth, but he remained silent and didn't speak.
Song Wei glanced at him and continued, "In fact, we do have something to talk to you about. Lu You came to our Peach Blossom Island to practice. She was invited by Qingxue and I, but you went into closed-door training as soon as you came back. So, she has been absorbing the Spiritual Qi in the environment to practice. I think … should we give her some practice resources so that her practice speed can be faster? She is really talented, but her cultivation is a little low. I think if we give her some time, she will grow up quickly!"
Speaking of this, Song Wei gently bit his lower lip and then continued, "I even think that her achievements in practice in the future will far surpass Qingxue and me. Maybe she will be a great help to you in the future. Now, you can give her some help as a sign of good karma. What's more, she is our friend …"
Xia Ruofei was slightly shocked. He vaguely guessed the intention of Song Wei and Ling Qingxue to invite Lu You this time.
Xia Ruofei said in a deep voice, "It's not a problem to give Lu You some practice resources. To be honest, I still have a lot of practice resources for low-level cultivators. But … Weiwei, you don't have to think too much. You and Qingxue are very talented. There's no need to belittle yourself. And … I'll be in front of you to shelter you from the wind and rain. Why put so much pressure on yourself? "
Song Wei smiled and said, "We don't put too much pressure on ourselves! And we will always try to catch up with you! "
Xia Ruofei sighed secretly and said, "Okay! I'll take a day off today and cook a meal for you. By the way, I'll give some practice resources to Lu You. Since she is willing to practice on Peach Blossom Island, we have to be good hosts. "
"That's right!" Song Wei said with a smile, "In addition … we may come again in a few days! I want to help you to the end! Right now, Youyou's Spiritual Strength is still too low, but after a while, she should be able to try to temper her Spiritual Strength in a small secret land. We can't do this for her. You have to take her in personally! "
"Her Spiritual Strength has improved so much?" Xia Ruofei was also a little surprised. "The secret land's formation is prepared for cultivators above the Gold Core stage. You know the situation when Uncle Song entered the formation last time. I felt that her Spiritual Strength was much lower than Uncle Song's!"
"Our double formation here has the effect of increasing Spiritual Strength!" Song Wei said with a smile. "And not long after she arrived on Peach Blossom Island, her Spiritual Strength made a breakthrough. Now, she is close to the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage. Naturally, her Spiritual Strength has also increased. She is a genius! It's normal for her to improve faster. "
