It was day and night. After eating, Yan Li returned to his room, locked the door, lit the oil lamp, and took out another harvest of this trip.
It was the Green Lotus Sword Song that Yan Chaoyang had copied with his super memory.
There were probably very few people who knew that the taciturn big guy had a photographic memory.
The popularity of the common language began in the Great Xia Dynasty. Compared with the ancient characters, the common language was simpler. Although the ancient characters were more complicated, it was easy to understand as long as one knew the common language.
Therefore, it was not difficult for Yan Chaoyang to copy it again.
Of course, the ancient characters had their charm, which was better than the author's feeling when writing. After copying, the original taste would be lost, and a lot of things for people to understand would be lost.
Perhaps because of the loss of the original taste, people could not empathize with it, and thus could not understand it. There were many cultivators who got the secret books of cultivation, but because it was not the only copy, they could not understand it. Their cultivation never improved, and they wasted a lot of time.
Therefore, the value of the only copy was amazing. The incomplete version of the Green Lotus Sword Song alone was already hard to estimate.
Although the Great Land was ruled by cultivators, the culture of reading was far better than the previous dynasty. On the one hand, reading was the easiest way to awaken one's real name. On the other hand, the secret books were mostly comprehended from poems and scriptures. Without understanding these, cultivation was as difficult as climbing the sky.
Originally, Yan Li did not want to be in a hurry to practice. The duel tomorrow afternoon would inevitably be a battle between the winner and the loser. Zhang Zhixiong was not an ordinary Level Four cultivator. Yan Li knew better than anyone how difficult it was to deal with a cultivator who had been on the battlefield.
The content of the incomplete book was beyond Yan Li's expectation.
There was only a song formula and a few paragraphs of specious annotations.
The song formula was: Green Lotus Born in the City of Chaos.
From the literal understanding, it seemed to have the meaning of heroes in troubled times, but it was not the case when read carefully.
The annotation said: Green Lotus has a lotus heart. The lotus heart is bitter and tastes sweet and cool. It can reduce internal heat and dispel evil …
From the literal understanding, this introduction was clearly a medicinal material. The lotus heart should be the lotus core. After drying, it could be used as medicine. However, in the world of cultivation, this herb was too common.
However, the note said lotus heart, which meant that it wasn't a medicinal herb.
This was where the value of a one-of-a-kind copy was shown. If one were to try to figure out the strokes of the original text, it would be easier to understand some indescribable and mysterious insights.
However, Yan Li's real name not only helped him suppress the curse, but it also seemed to have an extremely terrifying comprehension of sword techniques. He did not know whether it was because misfortune and fortune came together.
It was faster than comprehending the essence of the Heart Cleansing Formula. Just based on the annotation of the first paragraph, Yan Li had an image of a man in cyan standing with a sword in his hand.
The sword moved, and the body moved. The sword danced with him, and the sword shadows were like flower petals. With every step he took, a lotus bloomed. The surrounding darkness was illuminated by the blossoming green lotuses. The darkness was dispelled, and everything became pure white.
The green-clothed man immediately stood with his sword in the center of the pure white. He was like a spotless soul bathed in the white flames, noble and holy. All evil and ghosts had nowhere to hide in the white flames.
Yan Li's heart skipped a beat. His consciousness sank into a dark space. In his hand was the Leaving Cliff.
The sword moved, and the body moved.
The sword shadows were like petals, each step giving birth to lotuses.
The joy in his heart bloomed like a flower.
Fifteen years. Fifteen years to hone his sword heart. It was not a waste at all.
Those moves were no longer secrets in his eyes. He could use them as he pleased, and they danced according to his heart. Only when the surrounding darkness was dispelled did he stop moving. Just like the green-clothed man, he stood with his sword in the white flames.
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out of the void, holding a thick and heavy forged blade.
This was a very common true weapon. It was common to see fragments of it on the battlefield.
This was the Zhang Zhixiong that Yan Li had subconsciously imitated. Just based on his imagination, this black shadow was, of course, thousands of miles away from the original body.
The black shadow rushed forward, and the forged blade swung out in a flash. The air was visible to the naked eye, like a pair of scissors, trying to cut his soul into pieces.
This was the strongest form a Rank-4 martial artist could take in Yan Li's memory.
"Green Lotus Birth …"
Muttering, Li Ya casually drew a flower with his sword, and casually made a sudden advance.
"City of Chaos!"
Before Yan Li moved, the scissors were annihilated. The man and the sword were almost one. The two sides crossed each other, leaving a deep and straight crack in the void.
After the black shadow crossed with Yan Li, it turned into ashes.
Yan Li touched his abdomen thoughtfully. The two intersecting scars almost cut his abdomen into pieces. If it was not an illusion, it was almost impossible for him to survive such an injury.
This was a simulation without any real information about Zhang Zhixiong. A mere Fourth Pin Peak was able to perish together with him. Moreover, it was unknown how the Waning Moon Saber Technique and Zhang Zhixiong's actual combat experience were. Obviously, the situation was not good.
If he fought with Zhang Zhixiong with his current cultivation, he would undoubtedly have to use his life-saving trump card. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he really did not want to expose his trump card. It meant that there would be many more variables, and the enemy's calculation would be more targeted.
He was in Yongling, and becoming a pawn of Ji Zhiyuan was originally a step in the plan.
But as a pawn of Ji Zhiyuan, he was undoubtedly a thorn in the eyes of the underworld, and he was already treading on thin ice. Next, killing Yu Xingzhi was bound to provoke the tiger's whiskers. If his trump card was exposed, he would really have to advance step by step.
Yan Li could not help but be lost in thought.
Just as he was deep in thought, the deep and perfectly straight crack suddenly shattered, turning into streaks of green light suffused with sparkling starlight.
The green light gathered in the air, gradually forming a green bud the size of a wine cup, which was the appearance of a green lotus that had not yet bloomed.
It floated in the air, swaying left and right, not knowing where it came from or where it was going. It was like a newborn baby, full of curiosity about everything. However, although this pure white space was spotless, it was a little boring.
Then, it found Yan Li who was in thought. It moved lightly, swaying in front of him, and twisted its roots, trying to attract his attention.
However, Yan Li did not respond.
It did not seem to be discouraged, and stopped moving, as if it was observing Yan Li.
After a while, eyebrows and eyes grew on the bulging bud, and there was a small crack at the bottom, as if it had become a mouth.
It blinked its small eyes, and its small mouth opened and closed, trying to make a sound, but it could not do so. It could only stop and continue to look at Yan Li.
After a while, Yan Li finally noticed the little fellow, and could not help but be confused.
In his space of consciousness, how did this little thing come out?
He stared blankly at the flower bud.
The flower bud blinked its eyes, and also stared at him blankly.
For a moment, they stared at each other like fools.
"What are you?" Yan Li could not help but ask.
The flower bud could not understand at all. It did not have such a thing as "ears", so how could it hear, let alone hear.
Of course, on the level of consciousness, they used consciousness to communicate. However, its spirituality was obviously not enough to understand the fluctuations of Yan Li's consciousness, so it looked very silly and naive, and just looked at Yan Li.
Yan Li reached out and tried to touch it. It did not resist, and just quietly floated in the air. In its small brain, it might not have grasped this concept yet.
After rubbing it twice, it felt cool. But with this touch, the soul immediately blended, and Yan Li suddenly understood that this was the incarnation of the Green Lotus Sword Song.
Just like the Sword Heart Realization and the Heart Cleansing Mantra, the Green Lotus Sword Song also took shape.
According to the records, this was the phenomenon after completely understanding the technique.
After coming into contact with it, the flower bud flashed and was brought to a boundless world of primal chaos.
Yan Li's mind moved slightly, and he activated the Sword Heart Realization. A large amount of vitality poured in from the Divine Gate, lighting up the rainbow bridge, and dispelling the fog.
The flower bud was surprised by the changes in this world, and its small eyes were wide open, for fear that if it blinked, it would miss something.
At this time, a dense sword sound suddenly came from the depths of the sea of clouds. With the sword incarnation of the Heart Cleansing Mantra in the lead, countless small swords followed behind it, and launched an attack on the newly appeared flower bud.
This was the subconscious reaction of the Heart Cleansing Mantra when its territory was invaded.
The flower bud twisted its body and dodged the attack. It did not even bother to look at it.
The Heart Cleansing Mantra was furious, and it circled around and attacked again.
The flower bud was agile, shuttling back and forth in the rainbow bridge, playing around with the Heart Cleansing Mantra and its minions, but it could not even touch a single leaf. Now and then the little mouth parted, as if laughing at their clumsiness; now and then, it twisted and grimaced, which infuriated them.
Although it was quite interesting to chase and escape. But what gave Yan Li a headache was that these two little guys did not listen to his command at all.
The rainbow bridge was disturbed, and the flow of air was chaotic, and the connection was unstable, as if it was about to dissipate.
Ding —
At this moment, a long sword sound suddenly sounded in the vast world, like an earth-shattering dragon roar.
The two little guys were shocked, and an indescribable horror made them freeze on the spot.
As they stopped, the rainbow bridge quickly stabilized, and the world returned to its original order.
Under the Divine Gate, the transparent sword had stopped rotating at some point. The tip of the sword was pointed at the two little fellows, as if it was saying, 'You two little brats, are you tired of living by stirring up trouble in my territory?'
The long sword formed by the Heart Cleansing Mantra quickly flew under it to show its sincerity.
The green lotus flower bud immediately knew that "Heart of Sword" was in charge here, and it obediently flew to its side.
Seeing that there were more and more residents here, Yan Li had no choice but to give each of them a name.
In order to make it easy to remember, they were all named after the techniques, namely: Heart of Sword, Heart Cleansing, and Green Lotus.
Although the three little guys all protested fiercely at the level of consciousness, Yan Li wanted to let them know who the master of this world was, so he pretended not to hear them.
He opened his eyes, and the morning light came in through the gap of the window.
Yan Li narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not know how time passed, but just practicing the first style of Green Lotus took an entire night.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
