65: Chapter 65 Three People's Sword Cultivation Instruction

The meal was eaten in silence.

Jiang Yuwei didn't seem to know about what happened yesterday, only occasionally adding some side dishes for Mo Zixing.

Seeing this, Su Li also gradually relaxed, no longer as tense as before.

Before long, the three of them finished eating.

Mo Zixing wiped his hands, looked at Su Li who was sitting upright and unsure of what to do, and said with a smile:

“Since we've had our fill of food and drink, can Elder Su start the lesson now?”

“Smart aleck.”

Su Li gave him a playful glare, but without any intention of blaming him; instead, she raised her hand and made a beckoning gesture.

An exquisitely crafted long sword landed in the courtyard.

The blade was narrow and resilient.

Simple and elegant patterns were engraved on the scabbard; one could tell at a glance it was no ordinary item.

As she drew the sword from its sheath...

A clear and melodious sword hum rang out.

The sharp blade reflected a cold, glinting light under the sun.

“This sword has been with me for nearly twenty years, all told.”

Su Li gently stroked the blade, a hint of nostalgia for the past flashing in her eyes.

Since her Damaged Foundation, she had not taken action again.

This sword had therefore been sealed away by her, never once unsheathed since.

She paused, then handed the sword to Mo Zixing:

“Since you said you haven't systematically learned sword techniques, why not start with this sword first.”

“The spiritual power of this sword is gentle and won't backlash against you; it can also help you find the feeling of where to apply force more quickly.”

Mo Zixing reached out and took it.

It felt slightly cool in his hand, the blade trembling faintly.

It was indeed a good sword, possessing a bit of spirituality.

Since she had used it for twenty years...

He weighed the sword in his hand, knowing full well its significance to Su Li, yet the words blurted out:

“Elder Su, how old are you this year?”

“That's a secret.”

Su Li raised her hand and gave his forehead a light, annoyed tap, then reached out to take the sword back first.

But thanks to his disruption...

The heavy atmosphere in the courtyard lightened up a bit.

Mo Zixing wanted to say something more, but turned his head to see Jiang Yuwei standing nearby.

The Junior Sister was looking at the sword with eyes full of envy, her gaze filled with longing to improve her swordsmanship.

Yet she sensibly didn't disturb him, just standing quietly to the side.

Mo Zixing's heart stirred.

Before entering the Inner Sect, Jiang Yuwei had mainly practiced the sword; her Foundation was decent, she just lacked professional guidance.

Now that Su Li was here, it was a good cultivation Opportunity for her.

If the Junior Sister could become stronger, she wouldn't easily hold him back in the future, which was also a good thing for him.

Mo Zixing spoke to Su Li:

“By the way, Elder Su, there's one more thing.”

“Yuwei has been practicing the sword since she entered the sect. Her talent and Foundation are both good, she just lacks someone to give her systematic guidance.”

“If possible, could you let her learn along with us?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Yuwei looked up, her eyes instantly rounding.

She never expected that Senior Brother Mo would specifically speak up for her, asking a top Sword Cultivator like Elder Su to teach her swordsmanship.

She hurriedly waved her hands, her cheeks flushing a deep red:

“Ah, my Aptitude is dull, I'll just watch Senior Brother Mo practice from the side...”

“What are you afraid of?”

Mo Zixing smiled and rubbed her hair:

“It's all right, just learn.”

Jiang Yuwei's eyes grew warm, her nose stinging as she looked at Mo Zixing with eyes full of gratitude.

From the bottom of her heart, she believed that having an Elder personally teach was a very rare Opportunity.

This Opportunity must have been something Senior Brother Mo fought hard to obtain through much hardship.

And even so, he was still thinking of her.

Senior Brother is so kind.

She really wanted to pounce over and hug Mo Zixing right now, but with Su Li still there, she barely managed to restrain herself:

“If Elder Su doesn't mind, I... I also want to learn. Sorry to trouble you!”

Su Li looked at Jiang Yuwei, then at the smiling Mo Zixing; how could she not guess his thoughts?

He wanted to improve his Junior Sister's abilities and was also afraid the young girl would feel awkward watching from the side.

She nodded gently, her tone mild:

“No matter, you can learn together.”

“I will first demonstrate the basic sword moves once. Watch the way power is applied in each Move, and then try to replicate them in your own way.”

“In the Dao of the Sword Cultivator, the Foundation is more important than anything else. No matter how good the flashy Moves look, they are useless when facing an enemy.”

As her voice fell...

Her figure instantly unfolded in the courtyard.

The sword blade sliced through the sunlight.

Each Move was as smooth as flowing water.

There were no redundant flourishes, yet they possessed a sharp and elegant beauty.

The sword wind swept up the fallen leaves in the courtyard, swirling around her figure.

They all fell together only when she sheathed her sword and stood still.

Mo Zixing watched entranced.

He had only learned the basic sword techniques of the Outer Sect and had never seen a true Sword Cultivator take action.

This is true swordsmanship!

Worthy of being the youngest Crystallization Stage Genius; her depth was indeed unfathomable.

“Did you see clearly?”

Su Li sheathed her sword and turned back, looking at the two serious people:

“This set of basic sword moves is the Foundation of sword cultivation. Each of you practice it once, and I'll see where your problems lie.”

Jiang Yuwei was the first to respond; gripping her sword, she began to practice earnestly.

Her Foundation was quite solid, and every Move was disciplined, though slightly stiff.

Su Li stood to the side, occasionally speaking up to correct her power points.

Jiang Yuwei also learned meticulously, practicing with increasing focus.

When Jiang Yuwei finished her set of sword Moves...

Mo Zixing tightened his grip on the sword Su Li had handed him.

The spiritual power of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment flowed out along with the power of the sword Moves!

The blade sliced through the air, bringing a sharp whistling sound; with the support of abundant spiritual power, the basic sword moves actually produced a quite fierce Aura.

He sheathed the sword and stood still, the sword wind swirling leaves to his feet.

“Senior Brother Mo, when did you Breakthrough again?”

The sword in Jiang Yuwei's hand almost fell to the ground, her face full of shock:

“Before you left, it seemed your cultivation wasn't at this level?”

Su Li also stunned, her eyes behind the black veil full of surprise.

Last night, she was only concerned with stabilizing her own spiritual power and hadn't noticed that Mo Zixing, who had merged deeply with her, had actually reached such a Realm.

If her feeling was correct...

Mo Zixing's cultivation had already reached the full seventh level of Foundation Establishment!

This kind of cultivation speed...

Was truly unheard of.

Mo Zixing rubbed his nose and lied calmly:

“I gained some opportunities while out on trial, so my cultivation rose a bit. It's nothing much.”

Mo Zixing had long ago discovered the change in his cultivation.

When he was helping Su Li “clear her Meridians” last night, Su Li's Crystallization Stage spiritual power had also poured into his Dantian.

After that period of “hard work,” his cultivation had soared accordingly.

After this experience, he also confirmed a fact.

If he practiced dual cultivation with someone whose cultivation was far higher than his own, his own cultivation gains would increase geometrically.

It seemed he had to find more opportunities to communicate with Su Li.
