Chapter 24 Unconscious Changes A month of retreat brought about such a leap in progress, which frightened Lin He. I sat cross-legged on the stone bed and thought for a long time, wondering what kind of situation this was. What Lin He couldn't understand was actually very simple. The training in the past ten years was not in vain. Although Hunyuan was not yet complete, Lin He had actually made great progress in physical training by persisting in training for a long time. He was better than the last time The third level leap laid a solid foundation. There are three important reasons for this progress. The first is the abundant spiritual energy in the blessed land. One day of training here is equal to five days outside. The second is the tempering of Lin He's body by the unknown divine fire. The body is like a container, and the purpose of physical training is to create a bigger container. The emergence of the nameless divine fire caused Lin He's physical fitness to undergo a dramatic change, just like a porcelain turned into a diamond container. The third reason is to enter a state of trance. For cultivators, trance is something that can be encountered but cannot be sought. After entering the "trance" state, it is difficult for external forces to interfere with the cultivator's state of emptiness and selflessness. One retreat in a "trance" state is enough to be worth ten or more normal retreats. This depends on the actual results. Lin He's trance state lasted for a month this time, and the actual effect was close to that of a year of normal practice. Under the influence of various factors, Lin He's cultivation has made leaps and bounds. Since he couldn¡¯t figure it out, Lin He stopped thinking about it. When he left Baimufeng Paradise Cave and returned to the thatched cottage, he opened the sound transmission box and found dozens of messages inside. Among them, the General Manager's Office sent the most messages, mainly asking about Lin He's preparations and asking him to go to the General Manager's Office at 9 o'clock in the morning on December 1st to make final preparations for the North-South Competition the next day. The so-called preparation is just a final test of Lin He's condition. If this kid has a physical problem and cannot compete, other preparations must be made. Yun Xiangyi sent five or six messages, mainly complaining that the progress of cultivation has slowed down recently. Even with the spirit gathering array, the progress cannot be improved. There are also messages like: "Where did your kid die? Why didn't you reply?" information. Yao Yao also sent a message with a few words of concern, mainly asking Lin He to take good care of himself. Wan Yumeng also sent a message asking how he is doing. To Lin He¡¯s surprise, Lao Ge, an old guy (his impression changed, and his title changed from Lao Immortal to Lao Dong) also sent a message, talking about the importance of miscellaneous studies, but focusing on swordsmanship. Other auxiliary means should not take up more time than the normal practice of sword control. After reading the message, Lin He thought about it and replied in turn. The reply to the general management office stated that he had received the notice, and the reply to Yun Xiangyi was very rude: I am not dead yet. The reply to Wan Yumeng was relatively normal: I'm fine. The reply to Yao Yao was very formal: Thank you, my wife, for your concern. I am fine. Please pay more attention to your health. The reply to the old guy was the most elliptical, just one word: Hmm. After replying to these messages, Lin He did not plan to return to Baimu Peak. The Nine Earth Flags required for the formation have been trained to thirty poles. It just so happened that Lin He was now at the sixth level of Qi training, which was enough to control this intermediate formation. He did not need Take your time. That guy Xiaobai went to sleep again, and he didn't know when he would become normal again. Anyway, I'll find him when I wake up, so I don't need to worry too much. There is still more than a month left, just in time to practice swordplay in the thatched cottage. Lin He never had time to look at the jade slips and flying swords given by the old man. "The way to wield a sword lies in the heart, in the mind," After charging, the jade slip displayed a paragraph of text. Regarding the history of this "Chasing Lightning", the old man didn't say much, but simply talked about the way he understood how to handle a sword. "The so-called sword control is nothing more than using the sword as a carrier, either flying or turning the sword into sword energy. The sword holder's cultivation and the quality of the sword determine the power and speed of the sword energy. Using sword energy to control enemies is the mainstream of Wanxiu Clan and also the mainstream of the Dragon Continent¡¯s cultivation world. The ten sects in today's world of cultivation all focus on sword cultivation. There are thousands of other sects, large and small, among which the sword cultivator sect accounts for 70%. Any one model that occupies the mainstream will gradually suppress and erode other models. This is a normal state. This is also the reason why Lin He was not accepted by the mainstream after he shined in the Nanzong trials. If it weren't for Lao Ge, Lin He would have been thrown into the ranks of aliens. The lighter ones were expelled from the sect, and the worst ones abandoned their cultivation and were driven down the mountain and left to fend for themselves. In short, no matter what miscellaneous studies you learn, they are all for the sake of sword cultivation. This is determined by mainstream ideology. It¡¯s not that Lin He doesn¡¯t like sword cultivation, but it¡¯s because he couldn¡¯t practice Qi well before and didn¡¯t have the opportunity to be exposed to sword cultivation, so he practiced a mess of skills that didn¡¯t require very high personal cultivation levels. Now these skills have become Lin He's main self-defense skills. It cannot but be said that this is a very different kind of existence. Lin He's life seems to have remained unchanged, but in fact it has undergone great changes. Five years ago, Lin He lived alone in a thatched cottage, but now there are more people who care about Lin He. After receiving the news from Lin He, Yao Xing?It's better to be with the old guy, just know that he's fine. Yun Xiangyi was very unhappy. This guy's answer was so concise that it was difficult for him to think of him every now and then in recent times. Yun Xiangyi was no longer in the mood to retreat. When he left his residence and went down the mountain, he encountered Wan Yumeng who had also come out of his training residence. When the two met at the mountain gate, they came from different directions but were going to the same place. "Going down the mountain?" Wan Yumeng was the first to speak. This was a bit unusual. Normally Wan Yumeng was taciturn, but Yun Xiangyi usually spoke first. Nodding and giving a simple hum, Yun Xiangyi seemed to be infected by Wan Yumeng's dislike of talking. Neither of them spoke, and walked silently down the mountain. Of course, this walk was not an ordinary walk, but a shape floating on the ground. The speed was very fast, and within half an hour, the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain where Lin He was, and saw the thatched cottage from a distance. Approaching the fence outside the thatched hut, the relaxation on their faces suddenly turned into seriousness. There was a fierce murderous aura hidden in the seemingly peaceful thatched hut, which seemed to warn visitors not to trespass. This turn of events deeply surprised the two men of the opposite sex, who had high levels of cultivation. The last time they came, there seemed to be no threat at all. This time, they could actually feel that this sword energy posed a considerable threat to them. What does this mean? This shows that in just over two months, Lin He's sword-handling skills have made great progress, and his own cultivation has also made a leap. The two women exchanged glances and each activated their shields. What's interesting is that as soon as the shield was activated, the invisible sword energy became substantial. A cyan sword appeared on the grass hut, and when it realized that the coming person was threatening, the sword expanded rapidly, from normal to normal. The form changed into the form of a giant sword that is more than ten meters high and three to four meters tall. When the two women intentionally strengthened the protection level of the shield, the form of the giant sword in the air changed again, turning into thirty-six small blue-black swords out of thin air, and changed from the vertical state to the horizontal state. The two women each exclaimed, because this situation showed that Lin He's cultivation had reached the sixth level of Qi training, and the blue-black sword Qi showed that the sword in his hand was good at speed. Whoosh, the two women exchanged glances again, and each of them quickly retreated. They were unwilling to consume the energy of the shield to touch Lin He's sword energy. After retreating fifty meters away, the two people put away their shields, and the sword energy on the top of the thatched cottage also put away its prepared state, and disappeared into the air in an instant. During this process, the complicated process of combining the small sword with the giant sword and becoming normal was omitted, which made the expressions of the two women appear surprised again. Whether there is a process of simplifying the complex means the purity of the sword energy and the quality of the sword. There is no doubt that Lin He's sword energy is very pure, and the quality of the sword is also excellent. "Lin He, come out and pick up the guests!" Yun Xiangyi said. As an audience member, Wan Yumeng always felt that something was wrong and couldn't remember what was wrong. There was movement in the thatched cottage soon, but it was not Lin He who came out, but the little white tiger. Well, we can't call him a little white tiger now. He is already a white tiger with the size of a cheetah, so it has nothing to do with being little anymore. Xiaobai was very happy to see the two girls. He jumped over the fence, approached them and squatted on the ground. He looked up and stuck out his tongue. He looked at the two girls pitifully with his big eyes, as if he was looking forward to something. Upon seeing this, Wan Yumeng subconsciously took out a third-level spirit stone from the space ring. When Xiaobai saw the spirit stone, he pounced on it, rolled his tongue around the spirit stone, and disappeared from Wan Yumeng's palm. "Don't tell me, Wan Yumeng really likes this, especially when Xiaobai's tongue runs across the palm of her hand, it feels so comfortable and itchy. Yun Xiangyi also took out a second-level spirit stone and held it in his palm. But Xiaobai was unmoved when he saw it. He turned his head away with a look of disdain. Yun Xiangyi was furious: "You bastard, you are as bastard as your master." After saying that, he took out a third-level spirit stone, and then Xiaobai reluctantly came forward and swallowed it in one gulp, as if he had a grudge against Yun Xiangyi. When Xiaobai was given the second-level spirit stone, he didn't show any naivety to please him. He looked like it was natural. After eating, he turned around and opened the fence door with his head. Yun Xiang's cheeks bulged, and as he followed in, he scolded: "Whoever raises a spiritual beast is so petty!" Wan Yumeng's happy eyes narrowed into slits, and she followed Xiaobai briskly, reaching out to touch it. Xiaobai's head turned around and Xiaobai also cooperated, sticking out his tongue to lick the palm of her hand with a flattering look on her face. Wan Yumeng giggled. He had not seen her smile once in the past five years. He did not expect to see Lin He again. Wan Yumeng had laughed many times. The two of them entered the courtyard and then the main hall, but did not see Lin He. Xiaobai walked directly through the hall and came to the backyard to see Lin He busy in front of a grill. A strong fragrance hit his nostrils, and Lin He was spreading cumin on a roasted lamb. "What a treat you two are. Xiao Bai is so greedy that he went out to catch this yellow sheep last night" With a pop, Lin He was bumped by Xiao Bai with his head, and he suddenly squatted on his butt, as if Xiao Bai Expressing dissatisfaction.
