Chapter 509: Lu Changsheng teaches his son, the art of withering and flourishing!
"please."
Lu Ping'an stood tall and gestured with his hand.
The body seemed to become much stronger in an instant, with a faint precious light flowing, and the whole person seemed to be cast from fine iron, giving people a sense of indestructibility.
"laugh!"
A platinum-colored sword light broke through the air, its edge sharp, like a rainbow that suddenly appeared from the sky, splitting the sky.
"clang!!!"
Lu Ping'an did not move, and his palm, which was flowing with precious light, clapped its hands, which collided with the sword light, causing a sharp sound of metal clashing, sparks flying, and then the sword light dissipated.
Seeing this, the magic sword in Lu Qingshan's hand trembled and sword light flashed in all directions. Within a few feet, there was his sword light.
At the same time, he tapped the storage bag, and a flying sword that looked like gold and bamboo appeared, shooting towards Lu Ping'an like a dragon.
Two flying swords, one attacking and one disturbing, concealed murderous intent, mysterious and astonishing.
Faced with such an attack, Lu Ping'an remained motionless.
His body was shining brightly, as if he was wearing a golden armor, and he allowed the sword light to wreak havoc on his body.
Then his right arm suddenly rose up, like a dragon or snake taking off from the ground, or an eagle swooping down on a rabbit, and directly grasped the dragon-like Tian Xinyin bamboo sword.
"Buzzing—"
This second-level flying sword was grasped by Lu Ping'an, struggling and trembling, as if wailing.
"what?"
When Lu Qingshan saw this scene, his expression changed slightly.
This Tian Xinyin bamboo sword was the flying sword he obtained from the sect's sword competition.
Although it is only a mid-grade second-level sword, it is a top-grade flying sword and its power is even greater than many high-grade second-level flying swords.
But now, it was directly held in Lu Pingan's bare hands.
For a sword cultivator, if his flying sword is taken away by others, it can be said that he has already lost half the battle!
"Qingshan, it's true that your elder brother is practicing physical training. You can use your real skills. I'm watching you, so you don't have to worry too much."
Lu Changsheng was dressed in a luxurious black robe, standing with his hands behind his back, and said with a chuckle.
Sparring and training are different from life-and-death fights. It is impossible to use all your strength, otherwise it will be difficult to control.
But Lu Ping'an practiced the Hundred Refinements Body Art, and his body was flawless, restraining all kinds of fancy tricks.
Therefore, this competition will see whether Lu Qingshan's sword can break Lu Ping'an's defense.
"In that case, I won't be polite!"
Hearing this, Lu Qingshan took a deep breath, his eyes sharp and his face serious.
Immediately, his entire aura rose and soared into the sky, like a terrifying divine sword unsheathed, exuding cold air, unstoppable, as if he was about to tear apart the sun, the moon and the sky.
Facing such a shocking sword intent, ordinary foundation-building cultivators would lose their minds and their momentum would weaken by three points.
But Lu Ping'an's face was firm, calm and heavy. He was not affected and released the Tian Xinyin bamboo sword in his hand.
Inside his tall body, it was as if a volcanic furnace was brewing some terrible thing, making a rumbling sound.
Theoretically, there was no possibility for Lu Qingshan to defeat him.
But when a lion fights a rabbit, it also uses all its strength.
This is not only his own principle, but also a respect for his younger brother Lu Qingshan!
"Qiang Qiang Qiang——"
Lu Qingshan clasped his hands together and five flying swords appeared, soaring into the sky, emitting a sharp and fierce aura.
"Brother, be careful!"
Lu Qingshan looked stern and shouted in a cold voice.
Seven flying swords trembled, sword energy soared into the sky, murderous intent shocked the world, and there was rumbling of thunder.
There seemed to be a sense of solemnity and murder between heaven and earth.
At this moment, even though Lu Ping'an's physical body was unmatched, he could feel a chilling sense of separation from the invisible sword energy.
"Hundred Refinements Battle Armor!"
His body was boiling, and a golden armor appeared on his skin that was shining with precious light, making his tall and burly body more majestic and domineering.
"This kid really has something."
There was a hint of smile in Lu Changsheng's eyes.
From the method used by Lu Qingshan, one can see some flavor of the Seven Stars Sword Formation.
The only difference is that the effect has been simplified a lot, and some other means have been added, such as sword energy like a rainbow, sword energy taking shape, sword energy thunder sound, etc.
Apart from anything else, this exquisite technique alone is enough to make him look down upon his peers.
But he still has confidence in his son Lu Pingan.
"Shhhhh-"
Seven flying swords slashed towards Lu Ping'an one after another. The sword lights in the sky were like raging waves, one wave higher than the other, making it difficult to capture and defend against.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
Lu Ping'an's face was calm, and his golden fist blasted out, bursting with brilliant luster, the black dragon roared, the wind and thunder surged, breaking through the layers of sword light.
Lu Qingshan's seven flying swords kept trembling, emitting sharp sword beams, and slashing out one sword after another.
Every wave of sword light and energy is breathtaking, sharp and brilliant, forming a terrifying ocean of sword energy.
"Clang clang clang——"
Lu Ping'an stood in the ocean of sword energy, his body bathed in golden divine light, like an unparalleled god of war. He opened and closed his fists, causing the sword light in the sky to collapse and dissipate.
This is the Hundred Refinements Body Technique.
There is no weakness in the whole body, and it is stronger than any magical or spiritual weapon.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan's sword beams flickered and intertwined, forming a terrifying net of heaven and earth. He continued to kill Lu Ping'an, and the sword energy soaring into the sky seemed to split heaven and earth in half.
"Boom boom boom——"
Just like this, the two of them attacked head-on, and the terrifying fluctuations of magic power swept across the entire back mountain madly, causing the Biyun Peak to tremble slightly.
"What's this noise?"
"Someone is taking action. I can sense a sharp and ferocious sword energy!"
"This seems to be Qingshan's sword energy!"
"Is Qingshan practicing with others?"
The back mountain is the place for the Lu family's children to practice magic and exchange ideas.
Although it was still early, the noise of Lu Pingan and Lu Qingshan fighting still attracted a lot of attention.
If there hadn't been a formation to suppress the aftermath of the magic power, the noise caused by the fight between the two would have been sensed by everyone in Biyun Peak and even Bihu Mountain.
"Hiss, it's big brother! Qingshan and big brother are fighting!"
"Brother actually fought Qingshan with his bare hands, is this the strength of a quasi-third-level body refiner!?"
Some of the Lu family members came over out of curiosity, and when they saw the two people sparring in the distance, they exclaimed in amazement.
Upon seeing this, Lu Changsheng waved his hand and used invisible magic power to push all these people out of the back mountain, forming an invisible curtain.
"Why are you joining in the fun so early in the morning instead of meditating and sleeping?"
Lu Changsheng spoke, and his calm and gentle voice rang in everyone's ears.
His son Lu Qingshan was arrogant, so he just lost in the competition with Lu Pingan.
If everyone watched Lu Qingshan being defeated by Lu Ping'an in public, it would be embarrassing.
This is also the reason why Lu Changsheng only called Lu Ping'an and Lu Qingshan over.
Otherwise, the competition between the two of them could also serve as an example to other Lu family members and teach them a lesson so as to avoid arrogance and impatience.
"Dad, we just heard some noise and came to take a look."
"Yeah, we're just curious."
A member of the Lu family shouted loudly, curious about the fight between Lu Ping'an and Lu Qingshan.
"This level of fighting is not something you should get involved in, so go back honestly."
Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly, continuing to watch his two sons sparring in front of him.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan also realized that his methods were simply not enough to break Lu Ping'an's body, so he used his last resort.
"Gengjin Sword Formation!"
He cast several spells in succession, and the seven flying swords trembled and split into thirty-six similar flying swords, emitting rainbow-like sword light and rushing towards Lu Ping'an.
There was a constant roar inside Lu Ping'an's body, and precious light was flowing all over his body. He was wearing a golden armor, which exuded an indestructible and cold luster.
"Boom boom boom——"
His fists were like the most dazzling divine iron. He smashed out with force. Two black dragons appeared and disappeared, giving people a feeling of overwhelming power and raging waves. The flying sword in front of him was clanged and flew away.
"Gengjin Instant Sword Technique! Great Freedom Sword Qi!"
Lu Qingshan's robe fluttered, his expression was stern, his body was radiating sword light, and he resonated with the seven flying swords. Then, thirty-six flying swords slashed towards Lu Ping'an at the same time, submerging him completely.
"Feng Lei - open the mountain!"
The blood and energy in Lu Ping'an's body roared like thousands of troops galloping, and the billowing blood and energy smoke rushed straight into the sky, like a black dragon lurking in the air.
The majestic body, like a mountain, is flowing with golden light and is filled with an aura of immortality.
He punched out, endless wind and thunder rolled, and the black dragon above his head roared, forming a huge dragon-shaped axe, carrying the power of wind and thunder, and slashed out with his fist.
"Buzzing—"
Lu Qingshan saw his seven flying swords trembling, and the thirty-six flying swords that were separated from them were collapsing one after another.
Immediately, a violent and powerful force stirred up the wind and clouds, and a surging divine power as powerful as a mountain enveloped him.
If he hadn't been a sword cultivator who had integrated the Sword Charge and Bull Fighting, making him immune to all kinds of pressure and momentum, he would have been unable to move and unable to breathe at this moment.
"It's just a sparring match between brothers, just stop when it's due."
Seeing that the effect was almost the same, Lu Changsheng appeared in front of Lu Qingshan.
With a raise of his hand, Lu Ping'an's fist and the dragon-shaped giant axe that spanned the sky and the earth instantly dissipated like the breeze and white clouds.
"Qingshan, are you okay?"
The precious light on Lu Ping'an's body dissipated, and he looked at Lu Qingshan and spoke with concern.
In a normal fight, he would definitely not use heavy hands.
But his father just sent a message asking him to take real action and not just defend without attacking.
"I am fine."
Lu Qingshan let out a long breath and his face turned slightly pale.
Except for not completely killing the enemy just now, it can be said that he used up all his strength and consumed a lot of energy.
Lu Qingshan felt mixed emotions when he thought that not only did he fail to break Lu Ping'an's defense, but he couldn't even block his punch.
In their early years, the two met in the Ziyou Secret Realm and were both at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
But now, he has reached the sixth level of foundation building, and his cultivation is two levels higher than Lu Ping'an.
However, the other party's body training had directly reached the quasi-third level and crushed him.
You know, the difficulty of improving the body is higher than that of refining Qi, and the other party is practicing both magic and body.
"Dad, I lose. My eldest brother's strength is far inferior to mine. I can't judge his strength against other fake Dan cultivators."
Lu Qingshan was not someone who couldn't afford to lose, so he spoke out.
"Oh?"
Seeing that his son didn't look shocked at all, Lu Changsheng smiled and said, "I thought you would be shocked."
"It's just a victory or defeat. I'm not that easily discouraged. Besides, who can be undefeated forever?"
Lu Qingshan put away his flying sword and spoke calmly.
Although he was confident in his own strength, he never thought that he was invincible.
Besides, Lu Ping was at the quasi-third level of body refining, while he was only in the middle stage of foundation building. There was a huge difference in strength between the two, so it was normal for him to lose.
However, when he thought about the gap in strength between the two, Lu Qingshan still felt a little disappointed.
"It's a good idea that you have this idea. There are so many geniuses in the world. Don't underestimate them."
Lu Changsheng nodded and spoke.
"Dad, I know you think I'm too arrogant and want to teach me a lesson, but I always remind myself to reflect on myself and not underestimate others."
"But this kind of thing is easier said than done, so I rarely make enemies with others."
Lu Qingshan, dressed in a green sword robe, looked free and unrestrained, and said with some helplessness.
The fact that he has come this far naturally shows that he is not a reckless man who relies on his talent and only knows how to fight with others.
I have long been aware of my character problems.
My master, Tian Yuan Zhenren, has also reminded me of this several times.
However, he was gifted since childhood. He became a disciple of Jindan Zhenren and later obtained the Dharma seed. He soared to the sky and was invincible among his peers.
In this situation, it is difficult not to develop this kind of character.
"As a sword cultivator, it's normal to be a bit arrogant, and you have the capital to be arrogant."
"But your arrogance is not wanton arrogance or domineering, but a kind of fearless, arrogant and conceited arrogance that does not take others seriously."
Lu Changsheng shook his head and said softly.
"This kind of arrogance will gradually make you look down on everything, and even if you encounter a monster or a freak, you will be careless."
"Just like your eldest brother, if you met him somewhere else, would you think he could have grown to this point in a few decades?"
Lu Changsheng glanced at Lu Ping'an next to him and spoke.
"."
Lu Qingshan said nothing.
Just as Lu Changsheng said, if he hadn't known Lu Ping'an's achievements in today's competition, he would have found it hard to believe that someone could grow so fast.
Lu Changsheng sighed and continued, "You said that you rarely make enemies with others?"
"Then let me ask you, if your brothers or fellow disciples in the sect are unhappy with your behavior, jealous, and resentful, would you care?"
"will not."
Lu Qingshan said in a low voice.
"Not only will you not care, even if you realize it, you won't take it to heart."
"I will just think they are just a bunch of clowns. If they dare to do anything, I will just kill them with my sword."
Lu Changsheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Qingshan, you are in the Jinyang Sect and have the sect's protection, so it doesn't matter. Even if your fellow sect members are unhappy with you or jealous of you, it won't matter."
"But what about the cultivators from other sects?"
"There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, but how many geniuses are there who have finally broken through to the Jindan Yuanying stage and are known to us?"
"I don't know how many of the top monsters died along the way, their bodies disappeared and turned into a pile of dry bones!"
"Perhaps many little people who were originally not taken seriously by you have gained opportunities, become great late bloomers, and emerge as a rising star!"
"Let's not talk about people far away. Take your eldest brother for example. His spiritual roots became invisible in his early years and he wasted more than 20 years in the secular world. But now he is much stronger than you. If you have a grudge against this person and he causes trouble for you, what will you do?"
Lu Changsheng said earnestly.
It's a good thing to be sharp and energetic.
As a sword practitioner, his son Lu Qingshan is on a path of forging ahead courageously and making progress, and he also needs to have such a sharp spirit.
But as the saying goes, too much rigidity will lead to breakage!
If the other party encounters any accident in Yue State, he, as a father, really has no way to do anything.
Just like Lu Quanzhen.
If I hadn't happened to go to Jin State, I would probably be in danger of death now.
He didn't want to see Lu Qingshan half-disabled or even bring bad news when he saw him in the future.
"Dad, I understand what you mean."
Lu Qingshan took a deep breath and said so.
He understands all these principles.
But when my father pointed it out to me, I still felt touched.
"Dad, after I break through the seventh level of foundation building, I will spend three years honing my swordsmanship."
He looked at Lu Changsheng in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"Just keep these in mind."
Lu Changsheng patted his shoulder and spoke gently.
For things like this, just a word or two will suffice, no need to say too much.
"Father once told you that if you only pursue the sharp edge of the sword, it will be too hard and easy to break. Sometimes you can hide the edge in the sheath, show it to others with its bluntness, and use its sharpness to guide yourself."
"I have a book of sword techniques here. You can study it. It should be helpful to you."
Lu Changsheng took out a jade slip from his storage ring and handed it to Lu Qingshan.
At that time, Zhenjun Tianyuan passed all his inheritance to him and asked him to help find a successor.
The other party’s inheritance is very broad and is somewhat similar to his Yin-Yang Creation Sutra.
It emphasizes balance, comprehensiveness and wide coverage.
And in the inheritance of Tianyuan Zhenjun, there is a set of "Tianyuan Sword Techniques".
This set of sword techniques is different from many sword techniques.
Do not pursue offensive edge.
It focuses on understanding the method, exploring the mystery, identifying the creation, and even involves numerology.
When fighting with others, it is good to be simple and unskillful, but when you understand the enemy's flaws and aura, you can be as sharp as a rock and show unparalleled edge!
This sword technique is difficult to master unless one has extraordinary talent and amazing comprehension.
But Lu Changsheng felt that it was very suitable for Lu Qingshan to study now.
If he can comprehend and cultivate it, it will be of great help to him.
As for the other inheritances of Tianyuan Zhenjun, they are not suitable for Lu Qingshan.
"Thank you dad."
Lu Qingshan took the sword technique, took a look at it, and grinned.
Then he said with a playful smile: "Dad, I think big brother and Ling Xiao should practice the same body-building method, right? This method looks good, you can teach me too."
"?"
Lu Changsheng glanced at him and said, "You are a swordsman, why are you practicing this kind of technique?"
"Didn't you say that we should not underestimate the heroes of the world?"
"So I thought about refining my body, and using more skills. I can also refine my mind through refining my body."
Lu Qingshan said with a serious face.
During the fight just now, he saw that Lu Ping'an's body-building skills were extraordinary.
Moreover, Lu Ping'an and Lu Lingxiao both practiced both Dharma and body cultivation, but their progress in body cultivation was so fast, which must be related to this technique, so they had some ideas.
"Okay, Ping An, you teach Qing Shan."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng didn't take it too seriously and spoke to Lu Ping'an next to him.
"Yes, father."
Lu Ping'an grinned and asked Lu Qingshan if he wanted to take a rest.
He saw that Lu Qingshan had just fought and had consumed a lot of energy, so his magic power was a little disordered.
"Okay, I'll come and ask Big Brother for advice in a couple of days."
Lu Qingshan said calmly.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng snapped his fingers and untied the invisible curtain behind the mountain.
"Dad, what is your current level of cultivation?"
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan asked curiously.
Just now, after seeing the methods of my father, I knew that he was not the one who had just broken through to the seventh level of foundation building as rumored by the outside world.
It’s definitely a breakthrough to the Jindan stage!
"What do you think?"
Lu Changsheng asked back.
"Shouldn't he have reached the Nascent Soul stage yet?"
Lu Qingshan touched his chin and said tentatively.
"How dare you think that? Your father is just an ordinary Jindan."
Lu Changsheng shook his head and said.
“Hehe, Dad is indeed extraordinary. He has just broken through to the Jindan stage. If the news gets out, I’m afraid countless people will be shocked!”
Lu Qingshan grinned.
Although Lu Changsheng said it was an ordinary Dan-Jie, he felt that he was a bit modest.
However, according to his father's conditions, being able to form a pill at this age would already make him a top genius.
"hiss"
He paused and suddenly felt that his father was the real evildoer.
I couldn't help but look sideways.
However, the effect of his sword heart was completely ineffective in front of Lu Changsheng, and he could not sense any qi situation.
Some Lu family members outside the back mountain of Biyun Peak were surprised to see the battle stop, and wanted to know who was the winner.
However, his father's behavior just now clearly showed that he didn't want them to know, so he didn't dare to ask more questions.
It's just a guess. Lu Ping'an has a record of defeating the ancestor of the Sima family, so there is a high probability that Lu Ping'an will win.
Otherwise, Lu Qingshan would be too evil.
It is equivalent to the sixth level of foundation building, which allows one to fight against the fake Dan Zhenren!
"Husband."
"Peace, Qingshan."
After Lu Changsheng brought Lu Ping'an and Lu Qingshan to the Lu family mansion, Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan and other girls immediately came forward to show their concern.
They naturally sensed the movement in the back mountain just now and knew what was going on.
Lu Wangshu and others who were not far away were also very curious and wanted to know how the two brothers would fight.
"Sister Miaoge, Huanhuan."
Lu Changsheng did not tell Lu Quanzhen about their discussion. After chatting for a while, he took Lu Miaoge to help Lu Quanzhen heal his injuries.
"This"
When Lu Miaoge saw Lu Quanzhen's situation, her snow-white face showed surprise.
I didn’t expect that Lu Quanzhen was injured so seriously during this trip.
The situation is no worse than Ling Zixiao's early years.
"Don't let Zhenzhen know about this."
Lu Changsheng briefly explained Lu Quanzhen's situation.
Then he used the healing divine light and Lu Miaoge's 'Taiyi True Water' to heal Lu Quanzhen.
With the double treatment from two people, Lu Quanzhen's condition improved a lot.
"Thank you for your hard work, father and aunt."
Lu Quanzhen's face was pale and bloodless, and he said with a cupped hand.
"Quan Zhen, have you learned anything from your time spent recuperating on the spiritual vine?"
Lu Changsheng asked with some curiosity.
"Return to Father"
Lu Quanzhen said that he had comprehended a secret method some time ago.
He named this method the Art of Withering and Flourishing.
Once it is activated, the whole person can turn his body into rotten wood, without any breath, just like the tortoise breathing technique.
And daily operations can maintain the body with minimal vitality consumption.
Of course, when you are seriously injured, you can also forcibly activate your life potential.
"Withering and flourishing technique."
Lu Changsheng thought this technique was pretty good.
Although it is not extremely mysterious, it is already top-notch among the foundation-building techniques.
He said that if he was willing, it could be placed in the family scripture library for other Lu family members to practice.
"Yes, father."
Lu Quanzhen nodded and continued to speak, saying that when he was comprehending it, he felt that this way of withering and flourishing was somewhat similar to the Kunpeng Swallowing the Sky Magic Art he was practicing, one righteous and one evil.
But I have not been able to achieve what I want these days.
"Ku Rong, the righteous devil."
Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, and then explained to him the Yin-Yang Dao based on the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra he had practiced.
"The interaction of yin and yang, the mutual confirmation, gives rise to all things."
Upon hearing this, Lu Quanzhen was thoughtful.
I feel that if I can fully understand it, then it will be much easier to practice the "Yin Yang Five Elements Kunpeng Sutra" afterwards.
Lu Changsheng didn't say much to him. This kind of thing still needs him to figure out on his own.
"Little Ling'er."
After leaving with Lu Miaoge, Lu Changsheng came to Xumi Cave Heaven to visit the pregnant Bai Ling.
Calculating the time, Bai Ling has been pregnant for almost three years.
But there is still no sign of birth.
This led to Lu Changsheng becoming more and more excited about this child.
After spending some time with Bai Ling, Lu Changsheng went to spend some time with Meng Xiaochan.
Said their wedding is in two months.
If she is bored these days, I can set up a poison room for her in Bihu Mountain, or a cave to cultivate poisonous insects.
"Thank you, Lu Lang."
When Meng Xiaochan heard about the wedding, she was extremely happy.
She had waited for this day for too long.
After a busy period, Lu Changsheng finally found Honglian and prepared to help his son Lu Qingshan recast his 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sword Embryo'.
