ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 204 The real differentiation of sword light!
"With these eyes, illusions won't work on you."

Chen Bu Ran tapped the corner of her eyes, reminding Du Xinghe of her purple wisdom pupil.

These eyes...

Du Xinghe said indifferently: "I don't have to drive."

She felt that she was a little over-reliant on the anti-counterfeiting effect brought by the Purple Wisdom Pupil. She always felt that everything she saw was a puzzle. She wanted to solve the puzzle, but ignored the obvious appearances. The best example was the terracotta warriors who were controlled by the long worms in the cave.

After listening to her experience, Chen Bu Ran thought for a moment: "This is the means you use to protect yourself. It can't be said that it is wrong. In the end, didn't you figure it out yourself? A bunch of terracotta warriors can't kill you. You maintain the Zhenwu Incarnation Technique and let them chop you as much as they want, but they may not be able to hurt you at all. You deliberately suppress your own abilities and practice in the illusion I created, which is equivalent to cutting off one of your arms."

"That's what I said..."

Du Xinghe still feels aggrieved that her apprentice Xiaojiu escaped faster than her.

It's not that I'm competing with my apprentice.

She doesn't want to lose to anyone, no matter who the emperor is.

Seeing that the master's voice had lowered, Shenshui, who wanted to help the master, suggested: "Master, why don't you try to practice with your eyes covered? I think those powerful swordsmen can train their mind."

"…You've watched too many opera troupes. Blindfolding our eyes doesn't affect our vision at all."

As long as she releases her spiritual consciousness, no dewdrops falling within a hundred miles will escape her perception.

The water is sad.

"But you are right about one thing. My realm has improved too quickly, and I have been neglecting to practice sword skills. Now is the best opportunity to settle down."

After Du Xinghe finished speaking, his gaze fell on Chen Bu Ran again.

His cultivation is higher than theirs, and he is also good at illusion.

Isn’t this a ready-made holographic virtual training location!

Chen Bu Ran smiled: "Since the ancestor insists, then please."

The next moment, the snow-white spider silk instantly wrapped around her, and she fell into it without any resistance. While being wrapped, she ordered, "Don't show mercy to me."

When Du Xinghe was completely wrapped in the spider cocoon, Chen Bu Ran's eyes turned to the three people.

Without waiting for him to speak, Xinyue said, "I can continue, too."

Shenshui: "If Senior Sister can do it, then so can I."

In the end, it fell on Shujiuqing.

In fact, according to Shu Jiuqing's plan, she wanted to go into seclusion and meditate to achieve enlightenment. Does cultivating immortals require getting yourself bloody? Can't she just practice literature?
however……

This is the illusion guidance for the Spirit Transformation Stage!

She gritted her teeth and agreed, "Me too."

"You are very lucky,"

Chen Bu Ran nodded, quite satisfied: "I just want to try out the ability I got from the ten thousand year old poisonous insect. It is better for you to suffer in my place than to be killed by outsiders. Remember, I am willing to guide you today because of the face of our ancestors."

He will show no mercy to those who don't know how to be grateful to their ancestors.

Shu Jiuqing: "Okay, I'll kowtow to Master twice when I get back."

Shenshui: "I kowtow too, I kowtow too!"

Does he know what to kowtow to?
I don't know what standards the old ancestor used to accept disciples. Maybe he felt that it was too quiet around him and liked him to make some noise?

Chen Bu Ran glanced at him nonchalantly, but saw that Xin Yue, the one he was most satisfied with and the most reliable, bit her lower lip lightly and said coldly, "I'll kowtow to four, and you guys will line up behind me."

Chen Bu Ran: “…”

He wanted to know, these three...

Before improving your cultivation, have you ever considered improving your intelligence?

……

After being wrapped in spider silk, Du Xinghe's consciousness was taken over by the illusion without any resistance.

When she opened her eyes again, a tall tower made entirely of wood appeared in front of her.

The tower was so high that it reached the sky, and its top was submerged in the clouds, so it was hard to tell how many floors it had. Its bottom five floors were square, and the top was an octagon. The entrance to the first floor was open, as if welcoming her arrival.

Her original snow name Chi Xiao is gone.

Instead, there were two swords of equal weight.

"Wooden sword?"

Du Xinghe pulled out the light sword and swung it twice to get familiar with the feel.

Chen Bu Ran told her at the conscious level that in this tower there were opponents he had fought before and who he felt were worthy, including spirit beasts, demons and even monks. If she wanted to practice sword skills, she should defeat them one by one. During this period, he would use poison to put pressure on her body and mind, and use the desire to survive to force out her potential.

"Okay, then be careful not to kill me."

Du Xinghe said to the sky, and paused: "But don't let me have an easy life."

She called out the palace fighting system in her heart and found that it could be called out normally.

She asked: [I want to learn sword dance, is there any item that can assist me that I can exchange? ]

The minions in the Galaxy Palace performed palace fighting plots day and night, which helped her to continuously earn a lot of palace fighting points, and replenished some of the points that had hit rock bottom after she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. It wasn't much, but it was still usable.

Palace Fighting System: [The host's sword dance attainment has reached perfection, there is no need to learn anymore, it is recommended to improve other skills. ]

[Learning never ends. I have to improve my skills in palace fighting so that I can win the emperor's heart forever! ]

Crossing the Star River.

The palace fighting system was skeptical and pushed out a series of items.

Crossing the star river and watching ten lines at a glance——

[Butterfly Attraction]: After using this pill, a strange fragrance will be produced in the body within an hour, which can help the host attract butterflies during sword dancing (Please confirm whether the emperor has a phobia of Lepidoptera before using it)
[Soul-Revitalizing Powder]: After using this item, the music played and the dance performed by the host within one hour can activate the fighting spirit (recommended places to use: in front of the battlefield, in the barracks, and at the pre-war mobilization banquet)

Neither of these worked.

Du Xinghe is the God of Gu, so there is no need for him to go through so much trouble to get the butterfly.

Secondly, she was already very eager to fight, and being too excited would be detrimental to her thinking during close combat.

Her eyes fell on the twenty-third item on the second page.

[Portable Old Matron]: A nanny who is theoretically proficient in all palace performances. She can give the host the most correct guidance, but it is limited to the skills of palace performances and cannot provide any "prophecy" or life advice (some hosts are isolated and helpless in the harem, and are addicted to summoning her to confide their inner depression, which wastes a lot of palace fighting points. Therefore, the system has adjusted her humanity module to the lowest.)
Du Xinghe stared at the three lines of text and his eyes lit up.

Doesn't she just need a swordsmanship teacher?
Even Fan Ji, who taught her everything she knew and used her life's cultivation to refine her with secret methods, could not provide her with any guidance on swordsmanship. In her experience of cultivating immortals, the only teacher who had anything to do with swords was Master Yuan Ming.

The only instruction he ever gave her was to beat her up and then throw her a copy of the Nine Yang Sword Technique, which everyone in the Nine Yang Sect had.

The more Du Xinghe tasted it, the more he felt that he had discovered this good thing too late!

[Portable Old Nanny] is not for permanent sale and can only be rented.

After consuming palace fighting points to rent her, she will appear beside the host in an absolutely reasonable form, and others will not doubt her existence.

Du Xinghe: [This item is very useful. Isn't it a perfect scapegoat? ]

Palace Fighting System: [Ah?]

Du Xinghe: [Summon her out and let her take the blame for the bad things she did. If she is executed, just summon another one. ]

Palace Fighting System: [……]

Once again, it was shocked by its host's viciousness.

She used the remaining palace fighting points she had to rent the [Portable Old Nanny] for two days.

A white light flashed, and an old lady standing with her head bowed appeared in front of him.

The old lady was about fifty years old, with kind features and a clean and vigorous spirit. She saluted Du Xinghe with an elegant and neat manner that could not be faulted. After Du Xinghe asked her to stand up, she lowered her eyes and asked, "What kind of palace art does the queen want to learn?"

"Sword Dance, "The Colorful Sword Sutra","

The small wooden sword flipped carelessly in Du Xinghe's hand, and she walked towards the tower: "Mammy, just stay with me and teach me the swordsmanship."

The interior of the tower is extremely spacious. In front of the spiral staircase, there lies a sleeping wind-controlling tiger.

If you go up, you will inevitably alarm this spiritual beast.

Du Xinghe held the sword and set up the formation.

The wind-controlling tiger was hit by the wind from her sword and woke up from its deep sleep, glaring at the person who came.

There is no need to say much to the spirit beast in the illusion, just start fighting directly.

The first level was of little difficulty, just a warm-up for her. In just three rounds, Du Xinghe chopped off the huge head and tossed it in his hands for fun. The tiger's blood splattered on the walls of the tower, but it did not stain her clothes, but did soak the head and face of the old nanny who accompanied her.

The old nanny who accompanied her almost couldn't maintain her elegant character. She stared at her with her eyes wide open, as if she was looking at a monster.

Du Xinghe looked back and said, "Mammy, is there anything I need to improve in my swordsmanship?"

The old maid who accompanied me hissed and sniffed.

Seeing that she was speechless, Du Xinghe nodded and said, "That's right. This Wind-Controlling Tiger is too weak. It died in my hands in just three moves. You definitely can't tell. I have to hurry up and climb the tower. The price of renting you for two days is not low."

On the second level, an old cultivator was brought in this time, whose strength was comparable to that of the Wind-Controlling Tiger.

Du Xinghe was puzzled: "How could such a mediocre person leave such a deep impression on you, Senior Chen?"

Chen Bu Ran's voice rang out from the surroundings: "He was talking a lot, you killed him too quickly, and you didn't have time to listen to him."

Du Xinghe: "Oh."

When he reached the fourth level, a seven-tailed fox finally appeared. The Burning Moon Fox was elusive, and its movements were even more unpredictable. This finally gave Du Xinghe more room to maneuver. After fighting with him for nearly a quarter of an hour, the small wooden sword finally picked out his heart.

"call……"

In the Immortal Alliance Competition, Du Xinghe, as a casual cultivator who caused trouble everywhere, had more combat experience than those sect disciples and his sword moves were more fierce.

But if she were in the Nascent Soul stage, compared with those at the same level, her practical experience would be pitifully little.

She wanted to make up for this in the illusion.

When she reached the sixth floor, a female cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage pinned her to the ground and beat her, smashing half of her internal organs. She managed to retreat to the stairs on the fifth floor with one last breath. Five minutes later, her injuries were completely healed, and her spiritual power was restored to its best condition.

The tower is just an illusion created by Chen Bu Ran. Life and death all depend on his thoughts.

In order to save time, her physical condition was also simulated.

Physical and spiritual strength can be replenished, but mental fatigue cannot.

Du Xinghe lay on the stairs, waiting for his internal organs to repair themselves, and laughed, "That's great! Old Mammy, come and guide me."

The old maid who had been standing at the stairs said: "…In reply to your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean."

Didn’t we agree on a sword dance?
Whose good guy would be photographed bleeding from all seven orifices during a sword fight in the palace?
"Hiss, I need to adjust my concept," Du Xinghe groaned for a moment, and said, "It is known that the "Rainbow Sword Scripture" is a reward given to me by the system. Any improvement I make in it should be supported by the system. There have always been concubines with outstanding swordsmanship in ancient and modern times. Even if we don't mention concubines, the more famous one is the Yue girl who is good at using the Yue girl sword..."

In later well-known literary works, the lady who used the Yue Girl Sword in the Spring and Autumn Period was described as almost invincible. She did not need to teach the swordsmanship with great effort. If others learned just a little bit from her, they would be invincible in the world.

Of course, she was not a concubine in the harem. It is said that King Gou Jian of Yue hired her as a swordsmanship instructor with a large sum of money before he attacked Wu.

The point of crossing the galaxy is nothing more than to rationalize your own behavior.

There are thousands of techniques to win favor, so what’s wrong with adding one more sword technique!
You don't even know how to use a sword, so why do you call yourself an old lady who is proficient in all palace skills!
Get your money back!
The old nanny fell into a brief silence. It was obvious that the palace fighting system was also reviewing the rationality of what she said.

The old nanny's eyes lost focus for a moment, then she looked over with eyes as bright as a master who had attained enlightenment in Longchang: "I understand. Please allow me to watch your sword dance again." Du Xinghe was overjoyed and patted her on the shoulder: "Mammy, it's good that you can figure it out."

After Du Xinghe's internal injuries healed, she picked up the sword again to challenge the female cultivator on the sixth floor.

boom!
Not surprisingly, she was knocked out during the tenth move, half of her body was gone.

Chen Bu Ran's voice sounded again: "Fairy Qing Yu's swordsmanship is like a meteor. My poisonous insects can't get close to her. She can kill thousands of poisonous insects with one sword. That gave me a headache for a long time."

It turns out her name is Fairy Qingyu...

Du Xinghe thought of the bright and beautiful female cultivator he met on the sixth floor: "Have you ever seen such a master in swordsmanship?"

"She was a female official of the Xuan Kingdom. I once robbed the flying boat she was escorting."

"..."

Well, one more point added to my criminal record.

A meal across the galaxy:
"Did you defeat her?"

"Of course," Chen Bu Ran said lightly, "Her swordsmanship was cultivated in the Sword Palace, and she follows a more orthodox path. My methods are more despicable."

The Xuan Kingdom and the Wu Clan had a feud that was almost threatening to annihilate each other, so naturally it was impossible for him to show mercy to the officers and soldiers of his enemy.

Du Xinghe said: "Then teach me your despicable methods later."

Chen Bu Ran was silent for a moment.

Just when she thought he would ignore her, a very light laugh came from the air: "Well, I think the ancestor is also very talented in sneak attacks on others."

...Why are you cursing while chatting?

Du Xinghe snorted and laughed, then crawled to the old maidservant who accompanied him and said, "Mammy, please teach me the swordsmanship I just used."

The old maid who was set as a swordsman by the palace fighting system supported her new master and pointed out indifferently: "Madam, your opponent has mastered the true meaning of the splitting of sword lights. These two sword lights have the same lethality. You are fighting one against two, so you are naturally defeated."

"If you want to defeat her, you must also master this skill."

Truth and falsehood multiply, and reality and illusion give birth to each other.

Du Xinghe doesn't know this trick. It is a technique that can only be mastered by sword cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage after a lot of and long-term practice.

She had previously created similar sword light differentiation effects using a real sword.

It has to be said that even though she fights with the sword spirit every day, a large part of her strength does come from Chi Xiao and Xue Ming.

And all she had now were two wooden swords of equal weight.

"Please teach me, Mammy."

Du Xinghe said solemnly.

There was a moment of confusion on the face of the old nanny who was accompanying her.

She is set to be an old nanny who has been in the harem for many years. She has served the late empress dowager and the queen. She knows all the palace rules and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, and even the art of sex. She can help the host quickly master the tricks.

But she never expected that one day, she would have to teach the Queen how to split the sword light.

But after being adjusted by the palace fighting system, she really can do it!
Therefore, the old nanny who accompanied him told Du Xinghe everything she knew.

Even though she was seriously injured, the corners of her mouth were curled up wildly.

Just being able to learn the differentiation of sword light and repeatedly fighting with Yuanying period sword cultivators is worth the trip!
Chen Bu Ran, if you don’t promote this, you’d be stupid!
Du Xinghe would certainly not miss such a good opportunity to hone herself. She healed her wounds quickly, and while comprehending the differentiation of sword light under the guidance of the old nanny who accompanied her, she picked up the sword and went to challenge Fairy Qingyu.

To split the sword light into two, three, or even into thousands of sword shadows, she needs to use multitasking.

This is why only sword cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage can master the differentiation of sword light.

For ordinary cultivators, the spiritual awareness of the Golden Elixir is already unfathomable, but to truly achieve "two things at once" is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Even Du Xinghe, who had reached the state of forming a baby, didn't know where to start at the beginning.

But soon, she thought of the "incarnation of the Gu God".

That's also multitasking.

If the avatar can be used, why can’t the sword be used?
After figuring this out, she began to force herself to simulate the movement of each sword in her mind.

If you don't understand, go up to the sixth floor and let Fairy Qingyu use the differentiated sword light to cut you twice, and learn from it to understand the flow of her sword energy. Experience and feel every sword move and the flow of sword energy with your body.

Every time he returned to the stairs of the fifth residence, Du Xinghe's body was covered with sores, but his face was always filled with a happy smile.

Every time she was beaten by Fairy Qingyu, she felt that she was one inch closer to the real differentiation of the sword light.

Du Xinghe didn’t know whether her progress was faster or slower than those at the same level. She just worked hard, and would be satisfied if she was better than the previous moment in the next moment.

The two small wooden swords are not her true natal swords, and she needs to put more effort into getting used to them.

As she practiced diligently, the sword gradually became an extension of her body.

But, it’s not enough.

A swordsman and her sword should be one.

Du Xinghe thought hard for a long time, and used the incarnation of the Gu God while meditating. Another self formed entirely of spiritual power emerged from his hand in the shape of a long sword, and practiced sword moves beside her.

If she can have another self, why can't the sword have another itself?

“…I don’t understand.”

Du Xinghe pressed his temples and for the first time felt that perhaps his understanding was not as high as he thought.

Among those around her, Shu Jiuqing is obviously the type with outstanding comprehension but lagging behind in talent.

One of the greatest shocks in life is realizing how stupid you are.

"I used to think I was pretty clever, Mammy."

The old nanny whispered to comfort him: "The master is smart, don't underestimate yourself."

"It's alright, Mammy. Stupid people have their own stupid ways."

During the conversation, Du Xinghe's injuries had completely recovered. She stood up, grasped the small wooden sword, and rushed to the sixth floor again.

Her stupid method was to experience many times between life and death how Fairy Qingyu used the sword light to differentiate.

If it doesn’t work once, try it twice. If it doesn’t work twice, try it until you understand it.

Du Xinghe rarely gets angry out of helplessness - the essence of anger points to her own incompetence when facing difficulties. It is not difficult to dissolve this anger, all she needs to do is improve herself, and she will try again and again.

After being beaten countless times, the moment she fought with Fairy Qingyu again, the wooden sword in her hand and the sword of the incarnation of the Gu God suddenly split into two, and as she directed her mind, they bypassed the numerous sword formations and protective qi, and chopped off the opponent's astonished head.

"I learned?"

The sword light split into two and was under her control, flying around her body.

It only took a moment for her to suddenly realize the truth, and it was impossible for her to return to the state of mind when she did not understand the division of the sword light.

Du Xinghe commented: "...It's like learning to ride a bicycle."

The leap from zero to one is often the most difficult.

She didn't know how long she had been in the tower. With Senior Chen watching her outside, she immersed herself in her cultivation and didn't ask about other things.

She withdrew from the sixth floor again, allowing Fairy Qingyu to be "refreshed" again to consolidate her practice.

The opponent's swordsmanship was more skillful and orthodox than hers, and what she could learn from Fairy Qingyu was not only the differentiation of sword light.

Du Xinghe remembered what Senior Chen said, that Fairy Qingyu learned the swordsmanship from the Sword Palace.

"Sword Palace, what is that place?"

As soon as she asked, Chen Bu Ran's voice echoed in the tower: "The Sword Palace is on the Ten Thousand Feet Sword Mountain in the Xuan Kingdom's imperial city. Looking at the Pingyun Continent, although those who are interested in practicing swordsmanship will go to the Nine Yang Sect, if they are in the Xuan Kingdom, these good swordsmen will be taken in and trained in the Sword Palace early. Those who can enter the academy to practice are all geniuses, and there may not be one among hundreds of thousands of people. Every one of them is loyal to the Emperor Xuan."

"When Fairy Qingyu and I fought, I had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and was only slightly older than you are now... I thought that with my talent, it would be just a matter of time before I could avenge the Wu clan."

"But when Fairy Qingyu and I got into a tough fight, I knew I was wrong, very wrong."

Chen Bu Ran's tone inevitably dropped, like a dusk bell being struck: "There are probably dozens of masters like her in Xuan Country, and there are even more who are better than her. Fairy Qingyu alone can make me anxious, so what about others?"

In front of Du Xinghe, he always had a faint smile on his face, and his facial expression was dull, making it difficult to interpret his joy or anger.

At this moment, he rarely showed her his melancholy and annoyed side.

"…But, no matter what, I beat her."

"There are many experts from Xuan Nation in the tower. You can continue to try going up."

Du Xinghe did not comfort him. After a moment, he said, "No wonder Xuan Country is trying so hard to find you."

"I'm also an expert at escaping."

Chen Bu Ran spoke with complacency.

Du Xinghe snorted and chuckled, then after defeating Fairy Qingyu again, he picked up his sword and walked up.

No one knew how many living creatures Chen Bu Ran had offended in Pingyun Continent over the years. The opponents at each level were beyond her expectations, and they used all kinds of attack methods.

And her swordsmanship was greatly improved through repeated life-and-death struggles.

Among them, the old nanny who was always with him played an indispensable role.

She closely watched Du Xinghe's every battle, correcting her bad sword-drawing habits and changing moves, so that she could retain the most primitive combat sense and reaction while being less reckless.

All the palace fighting points earned in the Xinghe Palace were used by Du Xinghe to rent a personal nanny.

Just when she was immersed in her cultivation, Chen Bu Ran woke her up.

The scenery inside the tower distorted and faded.

Just as the surrounding scenery gradually faded away like the tide, Du Xinghe suddenly remembered that all this was just an illusion.

"Senior Chen?"

Du Xinghe opened his eyes and his voice was weak.

In order to make her body feel the threat of death at the same time, Chen Bu Ran had been using poison that would not harm her roots, leaving her with only one breath. Now that the poison has subsided, she will slowly recover, but it will take some time. She took the healing pills left for her by her senior brother Zheng Tianlu without caring, and looked at Chen Bu Ran with a solemn face: "But what happened?"

Chen Bu Ran nodded: "I have an informant in Xuan Country - I think you have guessed it long ago, which is why I have been listed on the wanted list but have not been caught yet. Of course, part of it is also because my priority in Xuan Country is not that high."

"But just one day ago, Xuan State issued a wanted order targeting you alone,"

His expression was hesitant:
"The charge is... you stole Emperor Xuan's concubine?"

Du Xinghe's words "I am a good citizen" stayed on the tip of his tongue and he couldn't say them out.

"What's going on?" Chen Bu Ran was obviously a little surprised.

Obviously, women were not included in his looting.

He was very possessive of Xuan Kingdom's money and treasures, but not Xuan Kingdom's women.

Most of the concubines of Xuan Kingdom volunteered to join the palace. After all, the living conditions were much better after entering the palace, and they could also honor their ancestors, which was good for the whole family. Moreover, as the beneficiary of the whole country supporting one person to cultivate immortality, Emperor Xuan was also the object of worship of all his subjects.

There would almost never be a situation where a woman from Xuan Country was unwilling to enter the palace.

Xinyue is an outlier.

Chen Bu Ran hesitated: "So you like girls? I thought you liked Ji Wu Huo's type."
