Mind Cultivation Record

That night, a lone and arrogant figure walked into Xiao Mian's courtyard.

"Brother Jingchu is a real trustworthy person!"

Xiao Mian had already prepared a table of spiritual food and wine banquet that was no better than the one in Zuixian Pavilion. With so many cultivators in the Five Elements Sect, there were naturally people who were responsible for the cultivators' daily life and diet. However, Xiao Mian had been practicing hard before, so he naturally didn't care about these appetites.

Today, in order to make friends with the sword cultivator Jingchu, Xiao Mian made preparations in advance.

After welcoming Jingchu into the inner hall, Xiao Mian personally poured a cup of Hundred Fruit Fairy for Jingchu.

"Brother Jingchu! Since you have honored me by coming to my humble abode, I think you don't blame me for offending you in the ring, right?"

"What are you talking about, Brother Xiao? In the ring, the strong are respected! Brother Xiao's strength is far superior to Jingchu's by a hundred times. If Brother Xiao deliberately yields, it would be a disdain for Jingchu!"

"With Brother Jingchu's strength, if he had a different opponent, I'm afraid he would be able to enter the top 100. But..." Xiao Mian just said this, Jingchu picked up the wine glass and drank a full one, then smiled and said: "The cultivation world today does not know tomorrow's affairs, may I ask Brother Xiao, when you walk in the future Traveling, can you still ask for a strong enemy to appear at a certain time? "

"This..., ha! It's Xiao who is too careless! Come! Let's not talk about this tonight, let's get drunk!"

"Wait a minute! It's a great pleasure to get drunk with Brother Xiao, but please tell me why you invited me today. If it's just about what happened in the arena during the day, since we have already talked about it and I have drunk the wine, there is no need to waste time, right?"

Xiao Mian smiled bitterly when he heard this. Jing Chu's words were as straightforward as his Wushang Sword, which made people hard to resist!

"I think Brother Jing Chu is also a man of temperament, so I will say it directly!"

Putting down the wine glass, Xiao Mian pondered for a moment. After considering it, he felt that it was better to get straight to the point when dealing with people like Jing Chu.

"Brother Jingchu should have heard about the intention of the Five Elements Sect to hold the Sword Fighting Contest. Now the head of our Five Elements Sect has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, but there are not many young disciples in the sect. Anyone who is among the top 100 in the Sword Fighting Contest and is interested in joining the Five Elements Sect is welcome. I know Brother Jingchu's strength best. Although he is not among the top 100, if he is interested in joining the Five Elements Sect, Xiao is willing to recommend him. What do you think?" After hearing Xiao Mian's words, Jingchu felt relieved. "Brother Xiao, you don't have to say anything more!" Jingchu interrupted Xiao Mian's words with a serious look on his face. "Jing Chu came to participate in the sword fighting competition this time, not to join the Five Elements Sect. In fact, even if I can finally enter the top 100, or even the top 10, I will not consider joining the Five Elements Sect. Not only the Five Elements Sect, but also other forces I will not join! The reason for participating in the sword fighting competition this time is just to compete with the masters of the younger generation. Being defeated by Brother Xiao, Jing Chu knows the insufficiency of his strength, and has the motivation to continue to practice hard. This trip is enough for me!" Xiao Mian smiled bitterly again after hearing this. This is the answer he least wanted to hear. Although Xiao Mian's victory over Jing Chu seemed easy before, it was because Jing Chu saw that he had no chance of winning under Xiao Mian's Gengjin Shenguang Sword and took the initiative to give up the game. If Jing Chu fought to the death, he might be able to force Xiao Mian to reveal some of his trump cards. And this is exactly why Xiao Mian looked up to Jing Chu. If Jing Chu could enter the Five Elements Sect, with time, with the supply of a large number of cultivation resources from the sect, Jing Chu's strength would definitely be greatly improved. Not to mention successfully forming a pill, but it would be no problem to be promoted to the level of Huangfu Ling.

Now Jing Chu directly rejected Xiao Mian's suggestion. Obviously, he is just like Xuan Lang at the beginning, a pure casual cultivator.

Xiao Mian also once asked Xuan Lang why he was so keen on being a casual cultivator, but was unwilling to join any sect. At that time, Xuan Lang said that for pure casual cultivators like them, pursuing the Great Dao is only one of them, and it is not even the most important goal. Unfettered freedom is what they pursue.

Just like the wind, just for free and unfettered flying!

"Brother Jingchu's ambition, I understand! I won't talk about asking Brother Jingchu to join the Five Elements Sect again, but I have one more thing I want to ask Brother Jingchu, please drink this cup first, then I can speak!" As he said this, Xiao Mian raised his glass and drank it first as a sign of respect. Jingchu looked at Xiao Mian deeply, raised his glass, drank it all, and then waited for Xiao Mian to speak. Xiao Mian then said: "I fought with Brother Jingchu during the day, and I was quite impressed by Brother Jingchu's sword-controlling skills. May I ask Brother Jingchu, can you teach me?"

"Sword-controlling skills? You want to learn my sword-controlling skills?" Seeing Xiao Mian nodded seriously, Jingchu said with a rather strange look: "You are a disciple of a sect, but you want to learn the sword-controlling skills from me, a casual cultivator?"

"This has nothing to do with whether you are a casual cultivator or a disciple of a sect. In the path of cultivation, regardless of origin or age, the one who has achieved success comes first."

When saying this, Xiao Mian looked serious.

Of course, Xiao Mian thought so deep down. He didn't care much about his identity as a disciple of the Five Elements Sect. In addition to his contact with Xuan Lang, Xiao Mian would soon travel around the world as a casual cultivator. He was actually quite envious of casual cultivators.

Seeing that Jing Chu still didn't believe it, Xiao Mian had to shake his head and smile bitterly: "Brother Jing Chu, why do you have to belittle yourself? Your sword-controlling skills are indeed exquisite!"

"Brother Xiao, you are too kind!"

"I wonder where Brother Jingchu got that sword-controlling inheritance?" Xiao Mian was just asking casually, but he saw that Jing Chu was quite embarrassed after hearing this. Just when Xiao Mian was puzzled, Jing Chu was already na na He explained: "Jing Chu has not received any inheritance from the predecessors and sages. The sword-controlling skills were created by me!"

"What!?"

"Actually...it's nothing! My sword-driving skills are based on the common sword-driving skills on the market, and I improved them myself, so I wrote this book "Ten Essentials of Sword Controlling"!" Xiao Mian looked like this. Looking at him like a monster, Jing Chu, who was originally quite arrogant, became shy at this time. He took out a small paper-bound book from his storage bag and whispered: "Brother Xiao, if you like it, I will I’ll give it to Brother Xiao!”

As he spoke, Jing Chu handed the small book with the four words "Ten Essentials of Sword Control" written in front of Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian looked at Jing Chu, then at "Ten Essentials of Sword Controlling", smiled and shook his head. Just as Jing Chu's face changed slightly, Xiao Mian spoke.

"May I ask Brother Jingchu, is your spiritual root a metal-wood dual-attribute spiritual root?"

"This... Brother Xiao's induction of the five elements of spiritual energy is actually so keen?"

Jing Chu was stunned when he heard this. His astonishment was not unreasonable, because the spiritual roots of monks are internal attributes. In addition to the Yuanying ancestor who can use his spiritual consciousness to detect the spiritual roots of low-level monks through the air, there are only pulse-cutting and other methods. It can only be detected by physical contact.

Of course, there are exceptions. When a monk circulates his inner spiritual energy, part of the spiritual energy will inevitably be lost into the air. If a monk is extremely sensitive to spiritual energy, he can roughly deduce the opponent's spiritual energy through the attributes of the spiritual energy emanating from the monk at this time. Root attributes, after all, what attributes of spiritual roots create what attributes of aura.

"Our Five Elements Sect may not be very good in other skills, but we are quite successful in the Five Elements spells, and our perception of the Five Elements spiritual energy is naturally quite keen." He confused Jingchu with vague words, and saw that As expected, the other party had no doubts. Xiao Mian then continued to ask: "The dual-attribute spiritual root of metal and wood can also be regarded as the earth spiritual root, but the five elements of metal defeat wood. Brother Jing Chu is a sword cultivator. Most of the flying swords are gold and iron weapons. Wood The existence of attribute spiritual roots will probably make Brother Jing Chu miserable, right?"

"Who says it's not the case! In fact, the power and sharpness of my Wushang Sword could have been even higher. It's because of the presence of wood-attribute psychic energy in my body that I had to incorporate a wood-attribute millennium into the Wushang Sword. The iron bark vine is used as a place for my wood attribute spiritual energy to reside after I infuse it with spiritual energy."

After talking about cultivation and the Wushang Sword, Jing Chu's expression became particularly serious. As he spoke, he took out the Wushang Sword and handed it to Xiao Mian for inspection.

Xiao Mian was not polite. After taking the Wushang Sword, he looked carefully and found an iron vine that looked like an iron wire on the spine of the Wushang Sword.

"What a pity! What a pity for Brother Jing Chu's talent! What a pity for this Wushang Sword!"

"If your innate spiritual roots are like this, what can you do?"

"It's not like the innate spiritual roots cannot be changed!"

"Could what Brother Xiao was talking about be those legendary spiritual materials that reverse the five elements?" Seeing Xiao Mian nodding, Jing Chu sighed with a wry smile: "Of course I know, with my attributes of metal and wood, If you can get a piece of Mu Zhongjin, you can replenish your golden spiritual roots. However, even if that Mu Zhongjin is rare, even if it appears, it is impossible for Jing Chu to get it, to be honest with Brother Xiao, Jing Chu. All my belongings are staked on this Wushang Sword, and apart from that, I have nothing else!”

"Brother Jing Chu's "Ten Essentials of Sword Controlling", Xiao accepted it! It's just that he won't be rewarded for no merit, so please ask Brother Jing Chu to accept the gift in return!"

With that said, Xiao Mian took out a small porcelain bottle from the white jade flying pendant and threw it to Jing Chu without looking at it. Jing Chu was about to refuse, but when he saw that the porcelain bottle was not a high-end product, he thought it might be some elixirs, so he put it away.

The two of them drank a few more drinks, and then Jing Chu said goodbye and left.

In the end, he didn't even open the porcelain bottle to take a look.

The porcelain bottle contained exactly what he had dreamed of - gold in wood!
