"Your pet beast snuck into my room when I wasn't around and I caught it," Hidden Sword said as he pointed at the Western Rat King who was hiding behind Lu Qingshan.
"I'm not a pet beast …" the Western Rat King mumbled subconsciously.
"Oh right, I forgot to ask you. What's your name?" Hidden Sword heard the Western Rat King's complaint.
Hearing Hidden Sword's question, the Western Rat King immediately stepped out from behind Lu Qingshan. He straightened his back and patted his chest with his paws. "I am the Western Rat King!"
Hidden Sword nodded seriously. He wrinkled his nose and said to Lu Qingshan, "Since it says it's not your pet beast, I'm sorry, but I must have gotten the wrong person. Shall I take it away and settle the score with it?"
As he spoke, Hidden Sword winked at Lu Qingshan without anyone noticing.
Lu Qingshan understood what Hidden Sword was trying to do. He also wanted to scare the Western Rat King, who had been getting more and more arrogant lately. So, he played along and said, "Sure, take it away. Kill it if you want."
Hidden Sword made a throat-slitting gesture at the Western Rat King and said with a smile, "You're the Western Rat King, right? Come, let me settle the score with you."
The Western Rat King who was threatening Lu Qingshan a moment ago suddenly turned into an eggplant. His aura deflated, and he said resentfully, "Lu Qingshan, you heartless bastard!"
After teasing the Western Rat King for a while, Lu Qingshan put on a serious expression and apologized to Hidden Sword, "It's my fault for not taking care of it properly. I can compensate you with some Spirit Stones as a token of my gratitude. What do you think?"
Lu Qingshan would try his best to get rid of the trouble if he could. Stirring up trouble everywhere was not Lu Qingshan's principle, so Lu Qingshan was very polite.
Hidden Sword waved his hand and said generously, "I didn't lose anything, so I don't need any compensation.
Actually, I didn't want to do anything to it. It was just that when I caught it, it actually played tricks on me and pretended to be an ordinary large rat, trying to fool me. I decided to teach it a lesson, so I came looking for it. "
It was one thing for this stupid rat to be slippery, but if it was seen through, then it was a big mistake.
Lu Qingshan glared at the Western Rat King.
"You're a sword cultivator?" Hidden Sword tilted his head and looked at Lu Qingshan with a pair of spirited eyes. Suddenly, he uttered these words.
Before Lu Qingshan could ask, Hidden Sword explained, "When I was outside just now, I felt sword qi in the room."
Lu Qingshan was startled. He finally began to look at the girl in front of him.
Hidden Sword was so young, but he was already in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. This was not a simple matter.
However, he was someone who had experienced many things. In the later stages of the game, genius NPCs in the Empyrean sprouted like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Therefore, Hidden Sword's talent only surprised him a little.
However, when he tried to condense sword qi in the room, he only used a very small amount of spiritual energy. The fluctuations were so small that they were almost inaudible. Even so, Hidden Sword was still able to sense the sword qi in the room from a distance.
There were only two possibilities. One was that Hidden Sword's soul was far stronger than ordinary people, so he had extremely strong sensing abilities.
The other possibility was that the Hidden Sword had an extraordinary talent.
In the next second, Lu Qingshan knew that it should be the second possibility.
Hidden Sword stretched out her right hand toward Lu Qingshan, and a wisp of sword qi shot out from her fingertip.
The girl flicked her slender finger, and the wisp of sword qi shot toward the Western Rat King. It suddenly dissipated three inches in front of the Western Rat King.
Hidden Sword looked at the frightened Western Rat King and smiled. "I'm also a sword cultivator!"
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that he was able to release External Sword Qi without the aid of a sword at the late Foundation Establishment stage was the only explanation Lu Qingshan could think of other than his extraordinary talent in the Way of the Sword.
"Yes." The identity of a sword cultivator was not something that could not be revealed. Lu Qingshan simply nodded and admitted it. At the same time, the same wisp of sword qi appeared on his fingertip. It flashed for a few seconds, then quickly dissipated. Lu Qingshan shook his head and said, "It's still not enough. I'm still far from you."
Hidden Sword watched the wisp of sword qi on Lu Qingshan's fingertip dissipate and said seriously, "The reason why you can't condense your sword qi for a long time is not because there's a problem with your technique."
Lu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.
After reincarnating to the Ninth Heaven, he had to face a problem. Although this world was the same as the game world, it was not a game. Therefore, there were many differences.
For example, he had mastered sword qi in the game. However, the problem was that in the game, it was just a bunch of data. It was a buff effect that he had obtained after passing the test of his Way of the Sword Instructor.
After transmigrating, all he could inherit was how to combine the various skills, how to use them, and these were all on the tactical level. But as for how to use the skills, he had to learn step by step from the beginning.
Under such circumstances, if it was not for the incomparable talent in the Way of the Sword given to him by the Innate Sword Seed, he could not imagine that he would have to spend more than ten years to master sword qi.
Perhaps, by that time, he would have already reached the Golden Elixir stage with the help of his experience points.
A Golden Elixir Sword Cultivator who did not know how to use sword qi?
That would be too laughable.
Lu Qingshan cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me."
"My mother said that there's no such thing as a free lunch." Hidden Sword paused for a moment, and a contemplative look appeared on his face. In the end, as if he had made a big decision, he giggled and revealed two rows of snow-white teeth. "But since you're the first sword cultivator I've met since … I've come out, so I'll give it to you for free."
'After coming out?' 'The first Sword Cultivator?'
Lu Qingshan noticed the strange words in Hidden Sword's words. He subconsciously tried to match the girl's family and sect.
He had never heard of a powerful Sword Cultivator family with the surname Hidden. She must be from a sect.
Only the Golden Elixir of the Sword Sect could leave the sect. The Sword Cleansing Pool …
There was too little information about Hidden Small Sword. Lu Qingshan searched through his mind, but he was unable to determine the origin of Hidden Small Sword.
"Your problem is that your cultivation is not high enough and you don't have enough control over your Spiritual Power, so you can't maintain the shape of sword qi.
Even for me, I was only able to condense Sword Qi without the help of a sword after I reached the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage! "Hidden Sword said cheerfully with a smile.
'Is it because my cultivation is not high enough?'
Hearing Hidden Sword's words, Lu Qingshan could not help but be stunned.
In the [Sword Qi Enlightenment] jade slip given by Dantai Qingrun, it only described the experience of condensing sword qi with a sword. It did not mention anything about condensing sword qi out of thin air, so he had to study it himself.
In fact, Dantai Qingrun could not be blamed.
One had to know that the sword qi condensed out of thin air was much inferior to the sword qi emitted by a sword in terms of power.
Other than showing off one's skills, it did not have much use. If one had the time, it would be better to nurture one's Origin Sword and practice one's sword skills. If Lu Qingshan did not want to practice the Five Elements Sword Armor, he would not have spent the effort to study this.
Under normal circumstances, no Sword Cultivator would specially study condensing sword qi out of thin air. Most of them would master this skill as their attainments in Sword Dao improved.
However, it was usually a realm that only Sword Cultivators in the Golden Elixir or Nascent Soul Stage could reach.
When Lu Qingshan could not maintain the shape of the sword qi condensed out of thin air, he had always thought that there were some special tricks that he did not understand. He did not expect that the reason was because of his own cultivation.
