Jianling Nine Heavens

Chapter 19 Cultivating Sword Qi
Mercenary is a cruel profession. If you are not mentally prepared to sacrifice and become disabled at any time, you should not become a mercenary.

This is a sentence Qin Feng learned later, and he deeply agrees with it, but at the same time he can't help but sigh.

"Feng'er, you passed the assessment. Remember this battle, remember tonight, and remember all those who sacrificed their lives to protect the town."

Qin Xiaocang left after saying this, leaving Qin Feng standing alone on the ground full of blood and corpses, facing the icy night wind and falling into deep thought.

The waning moon sheds faint moonlight through the clouds, reflecting the miserable land, and outlines Qin Feng's bleak and lonely figure.

The next day, the surviving people erected tombstones for all the townspeople and mercenaries who died to commemorate them. A Guo also found the families of the mercenaries who died through various channels and gave some money as a final compensation.

Qin Feng returned to the town, looking at the rows of simple but heavy tombstones, his heart couldn't help but fell into deep thought again.

After this mercenary mission, Qin Feng understood the cruelty of the world for the first time, and understood the pathetic and respectable aspects of mercenaries for the first time.Although he only had very brief contact with these people and couldn't name a few of them at all, their figures will always be engraved in his heart.

This mission is a high-level mission without a star. It can be said that it is the most difficult mission with the highest death rate among the missions without a star. Those who are willing to accept the mission are ready to die.But when seeing someone die in front of their eyes, everyone can't help being sad, especially some friends and comrades who are familiar with each other.

Time passed by, and three days had passed since that night, most of the surviving mercenaries received their mercenary money and left.Although the thug Ah Guo was extremely cruel to the enemy and the beasts, he was good to the mercenaries. He paid everyone double the mercenary money out of his own pocket.

Qin Feng has been in a daze for the past three days, staying in the room all day long and falling into silence.Qin Xiaocang received the employment money for him, and because he put in a lot of effort to kill the wolf king Qin Feng, and the wolf king is a spirit beast, which is worth a lot of money, so Qin Feng got an extra [-] silver coins, this time a total of [-] silver coins.

Qin Xiaocang did not take Qin Feng away immediately, he knew that Qin Feng still needed time to digest this experience, he was not in a hurry, and waited patiently in Sangluo Town.

Two days later, Ah Guo left.However, Lan Sri Granna and others stayed and helped the townspeople rebuild Sangluo Town.

On this day, Qin Feng finally recovered and found Qin Xiaocang.

Qin Xiaocang saw Qin Feng, smiled slightly, and said: "Feng'er, this place is very close to Ningyang City, Third Uncle will take you there to experience it, and hand over the task there by the way. On the way, I will teach you the formula for cultivating sword energy. You, when you arrive at Ningyang City, you can try to cultivate there."

"All according to the third uncle's arrangement." Qin Feng nodded and said, he also had a sense of curiosity about Ningyang City in his heart.

Soon, Qin Xiaocang took Qin Feng to leave Sangluo Town, heading north all the way to Ningyang City.

When they were leaving, Lansley Pony Granna and others all came out to see them off.After this battle, they got acquainted, and they all looked at Qin Feng with admiration, and they were all very grateful. If it wasn't for Qin Feng's strength, they might not be able to make Ah Guo come back.

Qin Feng also remembered them all in his heart. They were the first group of people Qin Feng met outside. Although they are not friends now, they have experienced life and death together after all. This experience is also extremely rare and will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

When night fell, Qin Feng and Qin Xiaocang arrived at Ningyang City.

The two of them entered from the south gate. There were several soldiers guarding the gate, and there was no strict interrogation. They only needed to pay 5 copper coins each to enter.

Even though it was night, the lights in Ningyang City were still brightly lit, just like daytime.For some, the night is just the beginning of the day.

As the fourth largest city in Rex, Ningyang City is undoubtedly prosperous. Although it is night, the streets are still crowded with people, and all kinds of cries surround the ears.Some special entertainment venues such as taverns and gambling houses are extremely lively, with a constant flow of people.

Qin Xiaocang found a hotel in the south of the city to stay. Qin Feng immediately locked himself in the room and began to think about the method of sword qi cultivation that Qin Xiaocang taught him on the way.

Sword Qi is the foundation of sword cultivation, just like elements are important to spiritual cultivation.

As for sword cultivators, there are two ways to cultivate sword energy. One is to change from a spiritual cultivator to a sword cultivator like Qin Feng. Originally, there is a certain amount of spiritual energy or spiritual power in the body. After gaining a certain familiarity and understanding, through the perception of the way of the sword, a special formula is used to gradually transform the spiritual energy into sword energy.

The other is those who have no spiritual foundation in their bodies, and need to comprehend the sword, use the sword as a medium to comprehend the special aura that exists between heaven and earth, and then still use that special formula to absorb it into the body and transform it into sword aura .

Of course, if you originally have spiritual power seeds in your body and don't want to shatter them, you can also adopt the latter method to cultivate sword energy.

But of these two methods, the latter is obviously more difficult than the former, so generally those who have spiritual energy will directly convert it into sword energy, instead of choosing to go to the heaven and earth to feel the special breath, and then convert it into sword energy.

Qin Feng is now in this situation, he is not willing to break the seeds of spiritual power, after all, it is not easy to come by, and it is a symbol of his past as a spiritual practitioner.

Therefore, he resolutely decided to keep the seeds of spiritual power, use the sword to perceive the special existence between heaven and earth, and cultivate sword energy out of thin air.

Maybe this will increase the difficulty and slow down his cultivation progress, but he will never regret it.

"The sky and the earth are boundless, and the sword is the guide. Ren Du is enlightened, and the mind is united. The mind is focused on Baihui, and the heart is looking at the dantian. Originating from the vitality, the green is clear!"

An ancient and bitter formula resounded from Qin Feng's heart. He sat cross-legged, eyes closed, holding the Weeping Soul Sword in both hands, his mind was clear, and he completely released his perception of the sword.

In an instant, a strange light seemed to emanate faintly from the Soul Crying Sword, and at this moment Qin Feng felt his heart and soul drift away from his body, as if he had merged into the boundless world.

Strange to say, according to what Qin Xiaocang said, those who practice sword qi for the first time generally fail.It takes several attempts before the soul can enter this mysterious realm and blend into the heaven and the earth.

Vaguely, Qin Feng found wisps of strange mist floating between the sky and the earth. Although there were not many of them, they really existed.

That is the special aura that needs to be absorbed into the body, and it is also an important thing to transform into sword aura.

Qin Feng took a deep breath, trying to absorb the mist, but it didn't have much effect, only one or two traces of extremely thin and fine mist were sucked away by him.
