Although they were worried that the Sword Sect of the heavily injured would come for revenge, they were still more concerned about Lee Xun's situation. After seeing that Lee Xun needed to go into closed door cultivation for a few days, all the elders decided to stay behind and take turns guarding Lee Xun. At a time like this, no one was allowed to disturb him.
For a total of three days, Qin Qing refused to go rest, just like half a year ago, when she was heavily injured and unconscious, Lee Xun guarded him and she had to protect Lee Xun the same way. Since they couldn't force her, they had no choice but to give up.
On the midnight of the fourth day, a loud "boom" was heard and everyone in the Dong Residence woke up from their daze. Lee Xun finally woke up from his closed door cultivation. However, when he saw the wolf-like garden that was filled with people, he felt very sorry for Dong Botong. Thinking back to the beautiful lake before, the Transparent Longsword s that guided him in his training, Lee Xun knew that he must have had a miraculous chance. It was best not to reveal such a miraculous thing.
Qin Qing was the closest to Lee Xun, so when she saw Lee Xun coming out of the pool, she immediately rushed into Lee Xun's embrace.
"Husband, I missed you so much." This really had the feeling of not seeing Lee Xun for one day, but it seemed like Qin Qing would see him every day.
"Qing, I'm dirty and smelly now, can you hold me after I finish washing my clothes?"
"No, I want to carry her now." Although Lee Xun had not left Qin Qing's sight for the past few days, he had not been able to talk to Lee Xun or touch him for a few days, which made Qin Qing feel extremely tormented. She had long gotten used to the feeling of being hugged by a lover every day.
The four elders who were guarding the area immediately rushed over. When they saw the sweet scene between the couple, they turned their heads in embarrassment. Soon, Elder Gu and the other elders also arrived.
"Cough cough, about that, Lee Xun, Qin Qing, how sweet is it? There will be more people coming over soon." Elder Gu's voice interrupted their happy time.
"Elder Gu, Elders, all of you are here as well."
"Isn't this all for the sake of guarding you? That 'Illusory Sword Realm' is what people who practice the sword yearn to experience the most, so we naturally cannot let anyone disturb your seclusion this time."
"Hehe, I'll have to trouble the elders. Tomorrow, I'll treat the elders to a meal to express my thanks." Lee Xun scratched his head in embarrassment.
They had only chatted for a short while before Dong Botong and a few tens of guards arrived along with Dong Nana, Tian Fen and Zhou Jie.
"Uncle Dong, I'm really sorry. I destroyed your garden. Tomorrow, I will definitely find someone to help you rebuild it."
"Lee Xun, it is just a garden, as long as you are fine, I will let the butler take care of the refurbishment."
"Father, we can't just let it go like this. Senior brother, when we see senior Baili again in a while, you must speak up for me and have her call me a set of sword technique. " Dong Nana was now completely infatuated with Baili Feng's swordsmanship.
"Alright, alright, I'll definitely speak up for you when we get back."
"Hehe, thank you senior brother."
After showering and changing into a clean and cool set of clothes, Lee Xun felt hungry. It had been four days since he last ate, it would be weird if he wasn't hungry. When he returned to his room, the table was already filled with all kinds of delicacies. Without saying anything further, Lee Xun went forward and started to wolf down his food.
Seeing that Lee Xun's appetite was so good, Qin Qing was extremely happy.
"Husband, eat slowly. No one is going to fight with you for it. You're like a child."
"En, it's delicious. Oh right, Qing, I have been in closed door cultivation for a few days."
"Four days. I'm worried to death. "
"It's been four days, no wonder I'm so hungry. You've already lost weight, and have dark circles under your eyes. You definitely haven't had a good rest in the past few days. " Lee Xun wiped his hands and looked at Qin Qing's face.
"You can sleep with me all night." Qin Qing once again rushed into Lee Xun's embrace with a blissful expression.
"Qing, promise me, if I go back into closed door cultivation in the future, you must take good care of yourself, or else I won't be able to rest at ease, do you understand?"
"Yes."
"Oh right, how was the match between Nana and Cheng Kun? Why didn't I see Cheng Kun today, did something happen to him?"
"Hehe, he's fine. The two of them were so impressive that day ?"
After hearing Qin Qing's story, Lee Xun calmed down.
"Qing, do you think that Nana and Cheng Kun are really compatible?"
"Yeah, I think so too. Not only the two of them, there's also Fen and Zhou Jie."
"Well, we're thinking of the same thing. Do you think we should find a chance to put them together? "
"That's good, but I feel that right now, it's better to let them take it as they will. I think that they would definitely be more willing to put more of their energy into cultivation right now."
"That's true. You thought it through thoroughly."
"Qing, you should go rest first. I have something to take care of so I'll be going out first." Lee Xun said embarrassedly.
"Ah, it's already so late, and you still want to go out? Didn't you promise that you would carry me to sleep?" Qin Qing slightly sighed.
"I'll make it up to you tomorrow. There's still the day after tomorrow, okay?"
"There's still the day after tomorrow, the day after that." Qin Qing was very obedient and 100% understanding of the situation. She knew that Lee Xun had something important to do so in a hurry, so she did not entangle herself with Lee Xun.
"Alright, I'll be going then. You rest early."
Lee Xun did not immediately leave the Dong Residence and instead went to find Elder Gu.
"Elder Gu, wake up, I'm Lee Xun."
Gu Muzhi had just fallen asleep not long ago, and when he heard Lee Xun's knock on the door, he immediately woke up. Lee Xun, you came so late, what's the matter? "
"Elder Gu, you know that I've been in closed-door training for four days and have comprehended some things. I'm in a hurry to verify and see if it's right or wrong."
"Haha, I understand. Follow me."
Elder Gu brought Lee Xun and sprinted over, arriving at the foot of the mountain at the eastern suburbs of Pine City.
"Alright, it's very safe here. No one will come and disturb us."
"Elder Gu, I made my move." As he spoke, Lee Xun revealed his own Soul Sword, the Rainbow Soul Sword that didn't have any other kind of Swordplay Gem.
Elder Gu was also a seven-colored Soul Sword without a Swordplay Gem, but if one looked carefully, they would realize that his Soul Sword's color was far less bright than Lee Xun's.
The two of them fought without any fancy moves, yet in the end, they were evenly matched and each took three steps back. He was already at the peak of the Eleventh Rank and Lee Xun was not even at the intermediate stage of the Tenth Rank. However, in terms of strength, he was only able to tie with him.
"Elder Gu, be careful now. Look at my latest comprehension."
Lee Xun raised his sword with one hand, followed by a series of hissing sounds. Elder Gu discovered that Lee Xun's sword was actually swaying like a wave, he did not wait any longer, and used Immortal Shows the Way to attack Lee Xun. Lee Xun raised his sword and without any posture at all, he welcomed the incoming attacks, and every time the two swords clashed, Lee Xun would do a tiny pulling motion. In the end, Elder Gu's Immortal Shows the Way was only half used and he could no longer continue. He felt an extremely strong suction force continuously pull at his Soul Sword, causing him to lose half of his original appearance as a result. Furthermore, there was also a small force that bounced back.
Elder Gu seemed to have seen something, but he still needed to confirm it. "Look at my technique, 'Power Breaks the Thousand Jin'." This move was extremely powerful and imposing. But Lee Xun did not dodge, and continued with his previous plan. The result made Lee Xun very satisfied, a "force past a thousand kilograms" was still not enough to continue on. Elder Gu was a little depressed, even though he knew it was definitely Lee Xun's doing, he did not understand. He stopped and asked: "Lee Xun, this is the new sword move that you have mastered, how did you do it?"
"Elder Gu, this is not a sword move, but a type of force exerting technique. "Let's try out the sword aura."
The reason why he came here today was to accompany Lee Xun to confirm. He would do whatever Lee Xun said, and would cooperate with him as he liked.
"Heavenly Mountain Cross Slash."
A cross blade made of Qi attacked Lee Xun with a slight sound breaking through the air. Lee Xun stepped forward and immediately used his sword to catch the blade made of the cross qi. After three rounds of turning, Lee Xun struck the cross blade back at him.
"This." Elder Gu dodged the cross-shaped Qi blade and stood still on the spot. The scene just now was truly unbelievable. "If my cross blade had been knocked back by a Twelfth Stage expert, that would have been reasonable. However, now it has been sent back back by someone one level lower than me. This is quite a blow to me." Lee Xun, how did you do it? "
"This is what I comprehended from the Illusory Sword Realm that day, a type of force exerting technique that relied on the combination of my body and the Soul Sword. Elder Gu, this is really a kind of feeling that can only be understood but not spoken. At that time, I had a very hazy feeling about that kind of body. It was also because I subconsciously felt that I needed to go into the water to deepen my comprehension. That's why I was able to stay in the pool for the past few days. Believe me, I didn't mean not to tell you. Oh yeah, there's one more thing, I feel that this is related to my wood attribute physique, but I still need to slowly explore the specifics. I gave this force exerting technique a name of 'Water Wood Sword'. "
"Hehe, you don't have to be troubled about this. I completely believe what you said. If the 'Illusory Sword Realm' is able to impart the supreme way of the sword, then it wouldn't be called the supreme treasure that we cultivators dream of. Lee Xun, I am truly envious of you. You have just acquired the power of Tenth Rank at the age of twenty, and have even grasped such a supreme technique within the Illusory Sword Realm, I really do not know how to describe you. I will not hide from you that my strength is at the peak of the Eleventh Rank, but now that I have met you, whether it's a sword move or sword aura, you have already suppressed them.
Lee Xun was naturally happy, he never thought that he would have such a great opportunity, he had grasped a technique that could allow him to challenge opponents beyond his cultivation level, and he could feel that this technique was not perfect, so there was room for growth.
"Elder Gu, thank you very much."
"Haha, Lee Xun, it's the same for you, I thank you too, thank you for trusting me so much, and for finding me to be your sword tester."
Normally, when everyone grasped a new sword move or sword skill, if they wanted to know the actual effect of the fight, they would have to find someone they trusted more.
"Hehe, Elder Gu, then please accompany me for a while longer. I feel that I am still a little unfamiliar with using Water Wood Sword."
"Alright, you have to be careful. I'll have to go all out now."
Knowing that Lee Xun had such a unique skill like the Water Wood Sword, Gu Muzhi did not hold back anymore. He wanted to make Lee Xun use his full strength to let him understand the strengths and weaknesses of the Water Wood Sword. To the current Lee Xun, whether it was training Water Wood Sword or improving his combat ability, an expert like Elder Gu was something he wished for more.
