Every day passed peacefully. He would patrol the valley's spell formations with Xie Yunhan, inscribe spirit tattoos on ten cultivators, and then practice his saber techniques with Xia Liang.
The cycle repeated itself.
If it weren't for the fact that the fox demon had mentioned revenge, this kind of life would've been quite good.
Nine days later, all the cultivators in the valley had received spirit tattoos, and all of them were defensive spirit tattoos. During this time, Lu Ye had a feast for his eyes …
After finishing his work, Lu Ye went to find Xia Liang and prepared to practice his saber techniques with him.
Unexpectedly, Xia Liang said, "I've already taught you the basics. You'll have to slowly comprehend the rest through life and death battles. Simple guidance won't be of much use."
After all, there were only so many basics to saber techniques. Xia Liang had taught Lu Ye everything he knew in the past ten days, and there really wasn't anything else he could teach Lu Ye.
The most important thing to improve one's saber techniques was not guidance, but the accumulation of experience through battle. Everyone's saber techniques also needed to be slowly refined through bloody battles.
In the past ten days, Lu Ye could feel that his saber techniques had improved greatly. Compared to before, his foundation was more solid, and his understanding of saber techniques had also reached a higher level.
It could be said that just from this point alone, his strength had increased by at least ten percent. This was undoubtedly a huge gain.
Therefore, even though there were many grudges between him and Xia Liang, just based on his guidance these days, Lu Ye solemnly bowed. "Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Xia!"
He just didn't know how Xia Liang would react if he had the chance to break free from the fox demon's control.
He originally wanted to kill Lu Ye, but due to a freak combination of factors, he ended up teaching Lu Ye a lot of saber techniques.
"I can't teach you the basics, but I'll teach you something else today." Saying that, Xia Liang took out his saber from his storage pouch and got into a stance. He closed his eyes and said, "Attack me!"
Seeing that Xia Liang was about to show off something, Lu Ye didn't hesitate. He placed his hand on the hilt of his saber and rushed towards Xia Liang. He unsheathed his saber and slashed down while keeping a close eye on Xia Liang's movements.
When the Pan Mountain Saber was less than a foot away from Xia Liang, Xia Liang suddenly moved. He raised the saber in his hand and blocked the Pan Mountain Saber.
Lu Ye couldn't help but raise his brows.
Xia Liang was a Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator while Lu Ye was only a Fourth Order cultivator. The gap between their cultivations was huge, so Lu Ye wasn't surprised that Xia Liang was able to block his attack.
What surprised him was that Xia Liang's eyes were closed, but he seemed to be able to see his attack.
With the help of the recoil, Lu Ye retreated.
"Again!" Xia Liang called out.
Lu Ye rushed forward again. This time, he didn't choose to slash. Instead, he stabbed with his sword. Compared to a slash with great momentum, a stab like this was undoubtedly much more subtle.
This guy was able to block his attack with his eyes closed, and he could even say that he was able to determine the direction of the attack by listening to the sound. How was he going to block this hidden stab?
Contrary to Lu Ye's expectations, the saber in Xia Liang's hand suddenly moved, lightly blocking the Pan Mountain Saber. At the same time, he tilted his head, causing the Pan Mountain Saber to miss his neck.
Lu Ye was greatly surprised.
"Again!"
Lu Ye attacked for the third time …
However, without exception, Xia Liang would suddenly block the attacks when they were half a foot away from him.
Lu Ye didn't use his full strength, but Xia Liang being able to do this with his eyes closed was still incredible.
After a dozen or so attacks, he couldn't even touch the corner of Xia Liang's clothes.
Only then did he open his eyes and look at Lu Ye. "Do you understand now?"
"Perception?"
"Mind's Eye!"
"Mind's Eye?"
"What you see with your eyes may not be true, but what you see with your Mind's Eye can never be false." Xia Liang explained earnestly, "This is not a saber technique, but it is an auxiliary secret technique that is useful to all weapon cultivators. When you say perception, it is not completely wrong. When most weapon cultivators fight with others, they have their own perception of danger. However, Mind's Eye is a secret technique that surpasses perception."
After a pause, he continued, "Now, the cultivators we come into contact with are all at the Cloud River Tier, and the speed of their attacks may not be too fast, but with the increase of cultivation, there will be a day when the speed of their attacks will be difficult to catch with the naked eye. When that time comes, how will you deal with it? If you only rely on your own perception, you may not have enough time to react, but if you can cultivate the Mind's Eye Secret Technique, then it will be different. At that time, even if you can't see, with a long saber in your hand, the enemy will not be able to get close to you. The Mind's Eye Secret Technique is a secret technique unique to the Wild Saber Sect, and it is similar to the Sword Heart of the North Mystery Sword Sect. My attainment in this secret technique is only at the entry level, so I can only defend against attacks that are half a foot away. "
Lu Ye suddenly understood. No wonder every time he attacked, Xia Liang would only react when it was half a foot away. It turned out that this secret technique had a range.
He asked curiously, "How do you cultivate it?"
This was a secret technique unique to the Wild Saber Sect, and only the elite disciples of the Wild Saber Sect could cultivate it. If they had not fallen into the Fox Immortal Valley, Lu Ye would not have been able to come into contact with this technique.
Suddenly, he remembered that when he was chasing Xia Liang, the latter's defense did give him a feeling that it was impregnable. If it were not for the fact that Xia Liang's injuries were too severe, Lu Ye would not have been able to do anything to him with just the Mind's Eye Secret Technique.
Xia Liang revealed a look of reminiscence, "When I first cultivated this secret technique, I was under the protection of my elders, fighting against different numbers of Demonic Beasts, and I was blindfolded. So if you really want to cultivate this secret technique, you have to experience it yourself, and use your body to remember the feeling of danger. After a long time, you will naturally succeed. This place does not have such conditions, so if you have the chance in the future, you can cultivate it. "
Lu Ye nodded slightly.
With Zhou Yuntian's previous instructions, Xia Liang would never attack Lu Ye, so even if Lu Ye wanted to cultivate this secret technique, Xia Liang would not be his sparring partner.
"Remember, the use of the Mind's Eye Secret Technique is based on one's perception. The stronger one's perception is, the easier it is to cultivate it."
"Understood."
The key to the strength of perception was the mind, and the strength of the mind was closely related to the Soul.
In short, the stronger the Soul of a cultivator, the easier it was to cultivate this secret technique, and the Soul … was Lu Ye's strength.
After bidding farewell to Xia Liang, Lu Ye returned to his house, opened the array, and had Yiyi stand guard nearby. Only then did he take out the Breath Fruit Core from his storage space.
Fox Immortal Valley did not have the conditions to cultivate the Mind's Eye Secret Technique, because there was no suitable sparring partner, but the Breath Fruit Core in Lu Ye's hand could provide him with the best cultivation environment.
In the past, when he entered the mirage realm, he would desperately kill the monsters inside to hone his saber skills, but as his cultivation gradually improved, the number of times he entered the mirage realm gradually decreased.
First, each time he entered the mirage realm, he would consume merit points, and second, he did not lack experience in life and death battles, so he did not need to enter the mirage realm to hone himself.
But now, if he wanted to cultivate the Mind's Eye Secret Technique, the mirage realm was undoubtedly the best choice.
Spending a hundred merit points, Lu Ye pushed open the door and walked into the mirage realm, stood still, and closed his eyes.
Just as he was ready, the nearby fog suddenly tumbled, and a figure rushed out, brazenly rushing at him.
The power of this figure was only at the level of a Fourth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator, the same as Lu Ye's cultivation. Wrapped in fog, he could not see the figure's appearance, and could not tell the gender.
Normally, if he encountered such an enemy, Lu Ye could kill them with a single slash.
But now, with his eyes closed, Lu Ye could only rely on his perception and some sounds to determine the enemy's movements, which was undoubtedly a huge test for him.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew in his face, and Lu Ye instinctively unsheathed his saber and slashed.
However, this slash did not cut anything, and instead, his abdomen was hurt by the other party.
Another strong wind came, and Lu Ye turned around and slashed with his Mountain Saber, but still did not succeed, and pain came from his body again.
A moment later, on the second floor, Lu Ye opened his eyes and felt a tingling pain in his mind, causing the corners of his eyes to twitch.
An enemy with the same cultivation as him, who he could usually kill with a single slash, actually killed him in less than the time it would take to drink a cup of tea after he closed his eyes!
How could Lu Ye bear this?
Again!
After another cup of tea's time, Lu Ye opened his eyes again.
Again!
After repeating this process more than ten times, Lu Ye's face was faintly pale.
Even if his Soul was strong, and dying once or twice in the mirage realm did not have any special effect on him, but too many times in a short period of time, even he was a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, he only felt a splitting headache, as if his whole head was about to explode. He had only experienced this feeling a few times when he first obtained the Breath Fruit Core, and since his Soul became stronger, he had not experienced it again.
However, dying more than ten times in a row was not without gain. Under the premise of closing his eyes, he was able to persist longer and longer under the enemy's attack, and even accurately blocked the enemy's attack several times.
Xia Liang said that to cultivate this Heart's Eye Secret Technique, one needed to experience it personally, using the body to remember the feelings of danger, so every time the enemy attacked in the mirage realm, Lu Ye would use his heart to perceive the enemy's attack and feel the danger in his body.
Xia Liang was under the care of his elders, fighting a different number of monster beasts, and slowly cultivating this Secret Technique.
Compared with his cultivation method, Lu Ye undoubtedly had more advantages, because in the mirage realm, even if he was killed, there would not be too much loss, so the experience of using the body to remember was undoubtedly more unforgettable.
Moreover, Lu Ye's mind was much stronger than cultivators of the same level, which was also one of his advantages.
He did not know how long it took Xia Liang to cultivate this Secret Technique, but he was sure that he cultivated it much faster than him.
