  On a small mountain range southwest of Ziwai City, a white light flashed by, and then the white light rotated in mid-air and fell to the foot of the mountain. Two cultivators appeared, who were Li Hui and Han Xue, who had arrived riding the Broken Wind Shuttle.

  "Xu'er, according to the map, the mansion we rented should be here." Li Hui said to Han Xue.

  Han Xue was taken aback, but she smiled lightly and said: "That's yours for rent, who are 'we' with you?"

  Li Hui was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered the fat monk saying that this mansion was suitable for "the two of them" to live together, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

  According to the information in the Jade Annals, this small mountain is called Mingxia Mountain.

  On this small hill, however, there was a mansion distributed about half a kilometer away. The two quickly found the mansion numbered 37,412 rented by Li Hui.

  This was a small courtyard surrounded by green trees, and at this time the two were standing in front of a not-so-tall bluestone gate. Li Hui took out the white jade token, dripped blood to recognize the master, and then injected spiritual energy into it. The token shot a white light onto the gate, and immediately the two large gates automatically opened to both sides.

  The two stepped inside and with a wave of his hand, he sealed the large gate once more. The two curiously looked around their new residence.

  This is a quiet and elegant small courtyard, after entering the gate there is a twenty-zhang square sky well, on both sides are two rows of tall trees with broad leaves, the ground of the courtyard is paved with bluestone slabs, in the middle north is a unique two-story green tile building, at the end of the sky well on the right side is a small gate leading to the backyard.

  The spiritual energy in this mansion is quite dense, and the quality of the mountain's spiritual vein is not bad. The entire mansion is covered with a layer of transparent film, which is the protective array of the mansion. Li Hui had refined the white jade token, so he could naturally feel the power of the array. Ordinary golden elixir cultivators would find it difficult to break through, let alone this mansion was protected by the Purple Wei City. If it were attacked without reason, the city guards would arrive quickly.

  Two people strolled around the garden in the backyard, which was not large but quite elegant and quiet. There was a small lake with a pavilion in the center of the lake, and a green grassland along the lakeside. In one corner to the south, there was also a small herb garden where some spiritual herbs could be cultivated.

  After circling around, the two returned to the front yard. On the left was a small refining room and an alchemy room, while on the right were a spiritual beast house and a storage room.

  In the mansion of a master, everything that should be there was already present. The two pushed open the door and entered the main hall, where they saw a large reception hall. In the center was a square table, behind which stood a desk with a jade abacus and two white jade command tokens similar to Li Hui's control seals.

  Li Hui walked forward to pick up the jade tablet, and after a quick scan of his spiritual consciousness, he put it back. It turned out that this jade tablet was a detailed introduction to all the arrangements in the mansion, and these two white jade tokens were also used to control the restrictions in the mansion for the convenience of the master having a dao companion or companions living together.

  Li Hui picked up two tokens and put one away, handing the other to Han Xue with a smile: "Please keep it well, madam!"

  Han Xue gave Li Hui a cold glance, scolding: "You're so oily! Who is your wife?" However, her face couldn't help but flush with two red clouds, and her slender jade hands reached out to take the white jade token, which had been refined with blood.

  After talking for a while, the two of them each chose a bedroom and went to rest.

  This mansion is quite spacious, with three bedrooms and a bathroom. Li Hui and Han Xue chose two bedrooms near the back, which have windows overlooking the garden behind. Each of them also has a back door leading to the garden behind.

  The bed in the bedroom was covered with a thick layer of fur from some unknown beast, soft and comfortable. Li Hui lay on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

  ……

  Three days later, Li Hui and Han Xue both started their closed-door cultivation.

  In the backyard of the mansion, on the grass by the lake, there was an inconspicuous piece of gravel, which was actually the transformed body of Yuankuang Xianfu. However, both Li Hui and Han Xue were in closed-door meditation inside the immortal mansion.

  Inside Yu Huang's Immortal Mansion.

  Han Xue was sitting in meditation in the Linshui Pavilion, while Li Hui sat cross-legged on the square of the Immortal Mansion, holding a jade slip in his hand, which was the jade slip that carried the "Yu Jian Pian" from the "Sword Dao San Pian".

  "The Sword Immortal, where man and sword energy merge as one, the sword is present when the person is present, the sword disappears and flies swiftly, a white light appears to kill people and things without form, only when man and sword are united, and the heart and sword are spiritually connected, can one enter the gate of mastering the sword..."

  After several hours, Li Hui finally withdrew his spiritual consciousness and put the jade slip back into the storage bag, his face filled with emotion, silently sighing at the profundity of the Imperial Sword's way.

  Man and sword unite as one; the heart and sword resonate with each other. Only after reaching this stage can one be said to have entered the gate of sword mastery, and begin to cultivate various sword techniques.

  The Royal Swordsmanship has many branches, including the Flying Sword Technique, the Sword Energy Technique, the Sword Shadow Splitting Light Technique, the Sword Escape Technique, the Sword Halo Protection Technique, and the Sword Formation Technique.

  Among them, Jian Dun, Jian Gang Hu Ti Fa and Jian Zhen must be cultivated after the formation of the Golden Elixir. The rest, such as Fei Jian, Jian Qi, and Jian Ying Fen Guang, start to cultivate during the foundation-building period, gradually progressing, and will have different powers in the Golden Elixir period.

  Li Hui decided to follow the steps of "Yu Jian Pian" and cultivate step by step.

  First practice the method of flying sword.

  "A person who cultivates the way of the sword must be sincere with the sword, the sword is me, where the sword points, one goes without hesitation, even if encountering a strong enemy, not timid or weak, in a dangerous situation, not abandoning oneself, unyielding, therefore only those with great willpower, great ambition, and great courage can achieve it!"

  This is a passage from "The Treatise on the Sword".

  The sword fairy is a group of people who are strong-willed, proud and unyielding. To become a sword fairy, one must be sincere to the sword, for the sword is oneself, and the sword is life!

  Li Hui stood up straight and held the Purple Lightning Sword in his hand, but he didn't start practicing swordplay immediately. Instead, he held the sword with both hands, closed his eyes, and entered a state of enlightenment about the sword.

  "What is a sword? What is the way of the sword?"

  "The sword is the most unyielding and strongest of all weapons, the king among all arms. It is noble and proud, not allowing any invasion, even if it is bent a hundred times, it will not yield. That's why it can pierce gold and cut through stone, leaving nothing unconquerable."

  "I have been poor since I was a child, and even food and clothing were hard to solve. It's all thanks to my own efforts that I've managed to survive until today."

  "The great master Yuan Hao once said, 'A gentleman is not confined by himself, a wise man is not limited by heaven's fate.' I was born without a good background, no excellent cultivation method, but I will never be restricted by my own difficulties. I want to break through the cage of heaven and earth, the entanglement of fate, the bondage of the heavenly way. One day, I must shatter the sky with my sword and stand among the nine heavens!"

  "There is nothing that can stop my footsteps, nothing that can bind me. Like this sword in my hand, I will charge forward bravely and unyieldingly, destroying all obstacles that stand in my way! This is my sword path!"

  ……

  Li Hui stood quietly in place, but his entire being slowly underwent a transformation, like an unsheathed sharp sword, proud, cold, stern and unapproachable. If someone were to stand before him at this moment, they would definitely feel the bone-piercing chill emanating from Li Hui's body.

  The purple electric sword in his hand suddenly jumped up lightly without any urge, emitting a series of sword hums, the sword body emitting a purple glow, and the cold sword energy merged with Li Hui's sword intent on his body, inseparable!

  Li Hui suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light burst out from them. He then urged the spell in his hand, and the Purple Electric Sword let out a soft hum as it transformed into a purple rainbow that soared into the sky.

  "Hee hee hee!"

  The Violet Lightning Sword, under Li Hui's control, transformed into thousands of sword shadows that danced in the air above the square, with a series of solemn sword lights enveloping a large area of the square, and waves of piercing sword intent spreading out, filling the square with an atmosphere of solemn killing.

  The second update is here, and it's a bit late because I was thinking about the chapter on the Way of Sword Control. Wind Langjun strives to vividly and concretely present the Way of Sword Control, rather than simply setting it up straightforwardly. Please collect!
