  For several days in a row, Li Hui was immersed in understanding and practicing the flying sword technique.

  This flying sword technique is easy to say but difficult to accomplish. Almost all cultivators can control their spiritual instruments to attack enemies remotely, and the flying sword is just one type of spiritual instrument.

  But if I have to say it's difficult, it's really very difficult!

  Most masters, even those in the Golden Elixir or Yuan Ying stages, are still at the most primitive stage of controlling spiritual artifacts and treasures. They simply use their spiritual energy to drive these artifacts from a distance for attack and defense. In other words, it's just like extending one's arm to strike an enemy from afar.

  For the use of flying swords, the techniques of starting, developing, turning and merging are not emphasized much, although there are some changes, they rely on reaction and speed, making some adjustments according to the changing situation.

  The true art of wielding a sword lies in the fact that when the flying sword is released, it contains countless changes and follow-up moves, anticipating the enemy's actions beforehand, but making it impossible for the enemy to guess one's intentions, and at the most unexpected moment and angle, delivering a fatal blow.

  The various methods of refining Qi mainly rely on various exquisite techniques, while the way of controlling the sword is that one's divine powers are all concentrated on the flying sword, using a strong and courageous sword to break through all methods and cut down incoming enemies.

  Therefore, those who cultivate the sword path must have a firm will, the courage to advance without hesitation, and a sword heart that is in harmony with the divine.

  On the Yu Huang Xian Fu Square, Li Hui pinched his fingers with one hand, his face solemn, and the purple electric sword transformed into a purple light in the air, constantly changing and disappearing. Sometimes a sword stabbed out like lightning, swift and unstoppable, but at the last moment, it lightly bent and changed to an incredible angle, but the sword's momentum also slightly weakened.

  "It's still a bit off, only when the sword move changes and the sword momentum doesn't decline can it truly make the enemy unable to defend against me when facing them. I'm still not proficient enough in controlling the flying sword, I have the idea of how to wield the sword but can't put it into practice." Li Hui shook his head, pausing for a moment.

  He finally understood why Yuan Hao Zhenren had him cultivate to the state of no sword before starting to cultivate the art of controlling flying swords. Only after reaching the state of no sword, can one control the flying sword to make unimaginable changes.

  Now Li Hui's boundary has been reached, but the ability to control the flying sword is still not keeping up, and many subtle swordsmanship ideas cannot be implemented.

  There are no shortcuts, and it's only through repeated practice that you can make yourself more proficient in controlling the flying sword.

  "I must attain the ultimate sword path, become a legendary swordsman of this generation!" After a moment, Li Hui once again manipulated the Purple Lightning Sword to practice, his eyes even more determined.

  ……

  Ten days later, at the Xianfu Square, a purple rainbow suddenly shot out from the other end of the square. The sword's direction seemed to freeze the surrounding air, and a cold and stern killing intent emanated from the sword, enveloping an area of ten zhang around it.

  The purple rainbow flew towards a green stone slab on the ground, and the sword was still several feet away. The Ling Ran sword intent had already locked down that area, but suddenly the purple rainbow turned, and the Ling Ran sword intent disappeared without a trace. However, in the next moment, the purple rainbow reappeared on the previously locked-down green stone slab, now mere inches away!

  "Ding!"

  The purple electric sword struck the bluestone slab, sparks flying everywhere. The purple electric sword quivered and hummed lightly, but the bluestone slab remained intact and undamaged.

  Li Hui's figure appeared, and with a wave of his hand, the Purple Lightning Sword flew back into his grasp.

  Li Hui's face showed a few points of joy: "Finally able to maintain sword momentum after changing moves!"

  As for the fact that Zidian Sword couldn't crack the Qing Stone Plate, he didn't mind at all. The entire Yuanhua Xianfu was filled with array formations, and even Yuan Ying cultivators would find it difficult to destroy them, let alone a mere Jigou cultivator like him.

  "Being able to change moves without changing the sword's momentum is only the first step. Being able to strengthen or weaken the sword's momentum at will after changing moves is the second step. Only when one can freely convert the sword's momentum and control it with their heart, can they truly achieve a state of 'sword heart resonance'!" Li Hui was naturally not satisfied with his current achievement, he was very clear that his swordsmanship was still only in its initial stages.

  At this time, Li Hui's swordsmanship was unmatched below the Golden Elixir level. No one could surpass him in terms of controlling flying swords or understanding sword moves.

  Apart from flying sword techniques, he would also need to cultivate sword energy techniques and sword shadow splitting light techniques later on. The road ahead was still long.

  But Li Hui didn't continue practicing anymore. He counted the days and realized that tomorrow was the day of the Divine Workshop auction.

  For this auction, Li Hui still had a few points of curiosity and expectation. Firstly, he wanted to buy a few more useful spiritual instruments for Han Xue. Secondly, he himself also wanted to acquire an extreme-grade flying sword. Thirdly, he wanted to see if he could get rid of the dragon scale armor obtained from Bi Shui Jiao. And finally, he would take back the Qian Huan Bao Yi, which should have been repaired by now after such a long time.

  "The Sword Sovereign" mentions a method of controlling multiple flying swords, with the ability to control up to three flying swords at once to attack enemies, and after mastering it thoroughly, its power can be increased several times.

  However, unlike the sword array techniques that can be cultivated after the Golden Elixir period, this method can only control up to three flying swords at most. The reason lies in the fact that the cultivator's yuan Shen is not strong enough during the foundation-building period to manipulate overly complex sword arrays.

  Moreover, Yuan Huan believed that the three lives of all things and the three flying swords were enough to generate all changes. If there were more flying swords without a strong yuan Shen driving them, it would only reveal more weaknesses.

  Li Hui now only has two top-grade flying swords, so he wants to add one more. If the two swords are both top-grade flying swords and there is another high-grade flying sword, it will inevitably be inconsistent when manipulated, revealing a flaw.

  He took out the jade token given by Sun Zhanggui from his storage bag, and Li Hui inserted his spiritual sense into it. After a short while, he understood the operation method of this auction.

  This auction is hosted by Divine Workshop and has even Golden Elixir Masters participating, so for Nascent Soul Masters, this kind of auction is still somewhat low-end.

  Monks attending the auction can either consign some of their own treasures for sale or simply attend the auction.

  Items intended for auction, after being appraised by the Divine Workshop and meeting the qualifications for auction, will appear in the auction.

  The monks who participated in the auction had a special way to keep their identities confidential, even the Golden Elixir period monks would not be able to investigate. The participating monks, including the foundation-building monks, were all unknown, and even the Divine Workshop did not know which monk was bidding on what item or what item was being bid on.

  This is naturally to prevent some killing and robbing of treasures from happening after the auction ends.

  The auction lasted for three days. Generally, the best items usually appear on the third day, but there is also a possibility of good things appearing on the first and second days, after all, everyone's needs are different.

  After watching, Li Hui's mouth corners slightly rose with a hint of smile, and he became more interested in the auction. With such mystery, it should have some real treasures appearing.

  And if it's really as said in the jade token, that complete secrecy can be maintained, then it would indeed be possible to get rid of that dragon scale armor.

  Although the dragon scales are precious, Li Hui himself doesn't know how to refine equipment. If he gives it to someone else to refine, it will inevitably raise suspicions. A dragon scale that falls off during the Golden Dan period appearing on a cultivator in the foundation-building stage is inexplicable no matter what.

  Li Hui's heart moved slightly as he discovered through the Xianfu's spiritual sense that Han Xue in Linshui Pavilion had just finished her cultivation and was sitting idly.

  Li Hui's figure had already disappeared from the Xianfu Square in a flash of movement.

  In the Linshui Pavilion, a flash of white light appeared, and Li Hui's figure emerged.

  Han Xue saw Li Hui appear and a few points of joy appeared on her face: "You finally came to see me!"

  Only after speaking out did he feel that his intention was as if waiting for Li Hui to appear, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

  Li Hui's eyes rolled over, and he deliberately straightened his face and bowed: "I've kept you waiting for a long time, I apologize to you!"

  "Pfft!" Han Xue couldn't help but laugh, playfully scolding: "You're getting more and more shameless, who's your wife?" Though she said this out loud, in her heart she felt a sweet sensation, and her face involuntarily revealed a few hints of shyness.

  Li Hui gazed at the beautiful woman in front of him, his heart seemingly melting away. He walked forward and took hold of Han Xue's jade-like hand, and the two sat down side by side on the lakeside outside Linshui Pavilion.

  These two young men and women, although they had already promised each other in their hearts and were determined to be with each other, were still naive and innocent, without any excessive behavior, occasionally holding hands and taking a stroll, and looking at the scenery together. In this regard, it seems that these two foundation-building cultivators did not understand more than ordinary boys and girls in the secular world...

  Two people sat side by side on the lake shore, chatting casually, Li Hui occasionally told some jokes, making Han Xue giggle from time to time.

  "Xue Er, tomorrow I'm going to the city to attend that auction at the Divine Workshop. You're always bored staying home alone, why not come with me and take a stroll around the city? After the auction ends, we can have a good walk around the city together."

  "Alright, you're not here and I'm bored staying alone, going out for a walk is good too."

  Li Hui's heart moved: "It's also a bit boring to always look at the same scenery in this immortal mansion, let's go outside!"

  Han Xue looked at Li Hui and smiled sweetly: "I'll listen to you!" Her eyes were filled with tender affection.

  Suddenly a white light flashed, and the two disappeared in the immortal mansion, reappearing on the grass by the lake in the backyard of the official residence.

  At this time, the sun was about to set, and the entire mansion was bathed in soft sunset light. The golden ripples on the lake's surface danced, everything was so gentle and beautiful, filling one's heart with warmth.

  On the lakeside lawn, a young couple sat side by side, with the sunset shining on their youthful figures, casting long shadows.

  The two of them chatted happily, hand in hand, gradually getting closer, until the boy finally bravely wrapped his arms around the girl's waist, and they naturally leaned against each other.

  Time slowly passed by, but the two of them didn't feel tired at all, sitting by the lake as if having each other was the entire world.

  Until midnight, the starry sky was full of stars, and the two were reluctant to leave the lake. They lay down on the grass side by side, looking at the starry sky together.

  The night was cool as water, the starlight was particularly enchanting. On this evening, the two finally opened their hearts to each other, expressing their true feelings and making vows that would last till the earth grew old...
