However, a dazzling green light suddenly appeared around Xu Lingyue, forming a light shield.
Runes moved across the light shield, deflecting all the lightning that struck it.
Qingchen thought victory was assured, but he never expected Xu Lingyue to have such a defensive method.
Looking at the dazzling battle, Xu Qi'an suddenly felt that the fighting between martial artists was so boring.
It's all about physical strength and then battling each other's energy; whoever has the stronger energy wins.
The green shield on Xu Lingyue's body gave Chu Yuanzhen a familiar feeling of power.
It was clearly a defensive air shield, but it subtly contained a surging killing intent.
"Qingchen, be careful! That's a sword and shield!"
It was too late for that sound; suddenly, more than a dozen sword beams condensed on the Azure Origin Sword Shield.
Before Qingchen could react, more than a dozen swords of energy were already thrusting at him from all directions.
At this moment, Qingchen's body erupted with white light, scattering all the qi swords.
"Qingchen lost," Luo Yuheng said softly.
Xu Lingyue jumped up on the spot, extremely excited, "I won!"
Li Chang'an said with a smile, "After this battle, I believe Lingyue will become more proficient in using magic and her progress will be faster."
Xu Lingyue and Qingchen returned to their seats.
Luo Yuheng said, "That sword and shield, is it the Qingyuan Sword Technique that you showed me back then?"
Li Chang'an nodded, confirming that Luo Yuheng had indeed seen a bit of it at the time.
Luo Yuheng continued, "This sword technique bears traces of my Human Sect, but its essence is entirely different."
"However, if one cultivates it to a deeper level, it should be comparable to the Qi Sword of our sect."
The three great martial arts of the Human Sect are Qi Sword, Heart Sword, and Sword Control Technique.
"However, Fellow Daoist Lingyue's movement technique in actual combat just now was extremely rare and very strange."
"Fellow Daoist Li, I wonder if you would be willing to exchange cultivation techniques with me?"
After Luo Yuheng finished speaking, he said with a half-smile, "Of course, if you're afraid that we'll get the cultivation technique and win the battle between heaven and man, then forget it."
Li Chang'an glanced at the beautiful Luo Yuheng. This little vixen really deserved a beating.
The Human Sect is my Daoist partner's sect, and the Holy Maiden from the Heavenly Sect is also my confidante. We are all family, so does winning or losing really matter?
"Yuheng, you want the 'Secret Method of Word Movement'? What are you willing to trade for it?"
Luo Yuheng explained, "The Heart Sword is honed with spiritual power and is specifically designed to slay the primordial spirit."
"Qi sword is the way of attack and killing. When cultivated to a high level, the sword qi is continuous and indestructible."
"You just saw the sword control technique. When cultivated to a high level, it can even form a sword formation, making it easy to kill superior-grade enemies."
Li Chang'an thought to himself, "Even if you combine your sword control technique and qi sword technique, it's still not as powerful as the Azure Origin Sword Art."
“I choose the Heart Sword. It can be used not only by Lingyue, but also by Pingyang and Ningyan.”
Although the Heart Sword technique starts from a low level, its power is extremely terrifying once the primordial spirit is fully developed.
Luo Yuheng nodded, and then a small booklet appeared in his right hand. Li Chang'an also took out the Xingzi Secret and exchanged it with Luo Yuheng.
Then, Li Chang'an transmitted his voice, "Yuheng, there is an ancient tomb in Xiangzhou containing a complete dual cultivation technique."
“I know the exact location. I need you to send someone with Ning Yan to retrieve the secret technique.”
"No matter what disagreements we have, dual cultivation is a major matter concerning our cultivation and cannot be delayed."
Luo Yuheng thought for a moment and replied, "No problem, let Yuan Zhen go."
"After we arrive in Xiangzhou, we will find a few more fifth or sixth-rank experts from the Human Sect in the area."
Li Chang'an responded, "Once we obtain the secret technique, we will study it together."
Luo Yuheng secretly resolved to obtain the secret technique.
Whoever masters the complete dual cultivation technique will gain the upper hand.
Li Chang'an, aren't you going to cultivate with Mu Nanzhi? Don't you need the complete cultivation technique?
The essence of the Flower Goddess is very precious and should not be wasted.
Chapter 348 Luo Yuheng: That heartbreakingly awful man!
After Li Chang'an and Luo Yuheng finished discussing their trip to Xiangzhou, they started talking about Chu Yuanzhen again.
“Yuan Zhen is a disciple of our Human Sect. He was a top scholar in the imperial examination and a person of extraordinary talent.”
"Later, he resigned from his official post and became a commoner, and has been practicing martial arts and Taoism for many years."
Li Chang'an knew Chu Yuanzhen quite well, "Brother Chu is indeed a man of great talent."
"Back then, Yongzhou suffered a severe drought, and the dead lay everywhere. That damned Emperor Yuanjing actually started refining elixirs, squandering the people's hard-earned money."
Luo Yuheng was stunned for a moment. It was actually quite satisfying to hear such insults directed at Emperor Yuanjing.
Chu Yuanzhen's gaze toward Li Chang'an suddenly held a hint of admiration.
When I reach the second rank of combat strength, I will also speak my mind so frankly, and curse whenever I want.
Li Chang'an continued, "Brother Chu's mentor died by striking his head against a pillar in remonstrance. Brother Chu was disheartened, resigned from his post, and left the capital after three days of heavy drinking."
Chu Yuanzhen said absentmindedly, "I've drunk countless cups of wine, but I still can't shake off the sorrow in my heart."
"Drawing a sword to cut water only makes it flow more, raising a cup to drown sorrow only makes it more sorrowful. Life in this world is full of disappointments, tomorrow I will let my hair down and drift away in a small boat." Li Chang'an sighed and recited.
The quiet room suddenly fell silent.
Xu Qi'an called his master, a message that struck Chu Yuanzhen to the core, probably leaving Chu Yuanzhen completely stunned.
Xu Lingyue looked up at Li Chang'an, her watery eyes filled with affection. She loved watching the young master recite poetry.
Luo Yuheng was startled, then looked at Chu Yuanzhen with concern.
Chu Yuanzhen's lips trembled, his gaze was fixed, and his soul seemed to have flown out of his body; he was completely stunned.
"Raising a cup to drown my sorrows only brings more sorrow... Tomorrow I'll let my hair down and drift away in a small boat..."
"At that time, I felt deeply troubled, as if the laws of Heaven were blind, the Yellow Emperor was incompetent, and the world was corrupt!"
"The supreme ruler, the master of all people, only cares about the elusive path to immortality, completely disregarding the lives of ordinary people. How can he be so at ease with himself!"
Chu Yuanzhen looked at Luo Yuheng and said, "Master, from now on, you must never mention your extraordinary talent in front of Brother Li again."
What worries Luo Yuheng is that Chu Yuanzhen seems to be increasingly admiring of Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an said calmly, "Speaking of that old dog, Emperor Yuanjing, if it weren't for Yuheng keeping an eye on him for so many years, who knows how many more disastrous things he would have done to harm the country and its people."
Upon hearing these words, Luo Yuheng's delicate body suddenly tensed, and she became unsettled.
Over the years, she has indeed corrected many of Emperor Yuanjing's absurd ideas.
Emperor Yuanjing's extravagant and wasteful plans, which were of no benefit to the cultivation of Taoism, were all nipped in the bud by her.
However, in the eyes of the soldiers and people of Dafeng, she was a female national advisor who brought disaster to the country and its people.
She seduced the emperor into becoming a Taoist priest, neglecting state affairs.
Little did people know that even without Luo Yuheng, Emperor Yuanjing would still have pursued Taoism, and in an even more absurd way.
However, Luo Yuheng ultimately needs to rely on the fortune of the Great Feng Dynasty to cultivate.
She never defended herself despite the criticism she received.
Even Wei Yuan, a rare talent in the Great Feng Dynasty, once went to Lingbao Temple to berate Luo Yuheng for disrupting the government.
After all these years, the first person to hit her sore spot was Li Chang'an.
This jerk really has a strange kind of magic; his words are so hurtful.
“Ning Yan, what you said in the corridor just now was incorrect, and you should apologize to the Imperial Advisor.”
Xu Qi'an immediately cupped his hands and said, "This junior is ignorant and spoke rudely. Please forgive me, Grand Preceptor."
He can read people's expressions and guess about 70-80% of what's going on.
This head of the Human Sect is probably also a master's wife.
So, did she actually have any young female disciples?
Li Chang'an saw Luo Yuheng staring blankly, and knew that the grand plan to incorporate the Daoist sects and the Renzong sect had been successfully launched.
A cultural figure once said, "The stomach is the passage to a man's heart, and the vagina is the passage to a woman's heart."
This statement is clearly very appropriate when applied to Fu Xiang and Xu Lingyue.
It is foreseeable that this would also be suitable for the princess.
However, for women like Huaiqing and Luo Yuheng, who have strong hearts, it's necessary to soften them first.
These women can't be flattered; you have to offer emotional resonance, which is the highest level of emotional value.
Make them feel that you understand them.
