Chapter 17: The Late Stage of Cave Condensation
Guanjian Lake
The tranquil lake surface is mixed with the soft moonlight, bright and bright. The rugged and strange rocks on both sides are reflected in the lake. If there is a breeze, you will find that the place where the rocks and water meet is full of slender openings.
An Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Meet the Master."
Tang Bao nodded slightly and asked, "Do you know why I asked you to come to Guanjian Lake?"
"Disciple doesn't know."
Tang Bo said: "This Guanjian Lake is the place where the masters of our Jingshan Sword Sect of all ages learned the way of swordsmanship. As time goes by, those who have learned the way have become one with this lake, and their own swordsmanship remains here, turning into this lake."
Lake of Sword Qi."
"Lake of Sword Qi?" An Chen looked at the lake, but couldn't see why.
Tang Bao chuckled. He took out the gourd from his waist and took a sip. He pointed his finger at the lake and said, "Put your hand into the lake."
An Chen walked to the lake. He checked the lake again but still couldn't see any clues. He put his right hand in doubtfully.
--hiss!!
An Chen took a breath of cold air, and a heartbreaking pain suddenly came from his fingers. He quickly pulled his hand away. At this time, his right hand was already covered with small wounds, and blood mixed with lake water was dripping down his elbow.
"You finally understand now, right?" Tang Bang shook the wine gourd in his hand and said proudly.
An Chen nodded. The lake actually contained sword energy that was thinner than a hair. Although it was not enough to hurt people, the pain was definitely not something ordinary people could bear.
An Chen asked: "Master, what does this have to do with our cultivation?"
Tang Bao said: "It's a big deal!" He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at An Chen with interest. An Chen felt his gaze and suddenly felt a chill running up his spine!
Tang Biao said: "Take off your clothes!"
"Ah??" An Chen exclaimed, "Take off... take off your clothes?"
"Hmm." Tang Huan hummed, and said impatiently: "Hurry up, a man's mother-in-law, it will be dawn even later!"
However, An Chen hugged his chest and said bitterly: "Old man, we have only known each other for a day. Even though I worship you as my teacher, I can't sell my body!"
"Get lost!" When Tang Bao heard this, he cursed angrily: "What are you thinking about, you little bastard? Is that the kind of person you are as a teacher? Can you young people be a little more pure in your thoughts?"
An Chen touched his head and muttered in his mind: "Then what clothes should I take off?"
Tang Bao took another sip of wine and said with a sinister smile: "It's okay if you don't take it off, but you won't be able to keep your clothes later. I think it might be uncomfortable to come up with a bare butt. After all, this is sword watching."
There are quite a lot of people in Huda during the day.”
When An Chen heard this, he quickly took off his clothes and asked, "What now?"
"Get down!"
"Go down?" An Chen's face looked gloomy at this time. One finger hurt like this. If it went down all over his body, it would be like being shaved alive?
However, before he could walk towards the lake coquettishly, Tang Juan flashed his figure and said, "Let's go!" and immediately kicked An Chen unceremoniously into the lake with one foot!
——Plop!
The boy fell into the lake in response!
Tang Bao said calmly: "Condensate your acupuncture points and close your breath to circulate the heavens! If you get out of the lake in less than half an hour, I will destroy your cultivation in advance."
An Chen's heart trembled. This old man had a weird and eclectic personality, but he didn't want to really ruin him when the time came. He gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain and dived into the lake.
But as soon as he entered the water, he felt a sense of suffocation rushing into his heart. Every inch of skin on his body was cut with thin wounds, blood continued to flow out, and a spasm traveled throughout his body!
"Condensate the acupoints and hold your breath! Condensate the acupoints and hold your breath!"
An Chen kept reciting these words. He seemed to want to forget the pain in his body, which was like scraping flesh. However, the trembling all over his body still put him on the verge of collapse!
At this time, traces of sword energy poured in from the fine wounds. An Chen's body was in a cross-legged position. As the body sank deeper and deeper into the bottom of the lake, the pressure around him became stronger and stronger. The speed of the sword energy pouring in was
It’s getting faster and faster!
When it sank to a third of the way, An Chen stabilized his body. He could feel that this was his limit. Although he was under the cold lake, his body was terrifyingly red!
If he sinks any further, he may be torn apart in the next moment.
An Chen guided the sword energy to flow into the tendons through the wounds, and An Chen carefully controlled them to enter the acupoints. Suddenly, those acupoints made a buzzing sound, as if they were hungry or thirsty.
An Chen was overjoyed. It seemed like a cow's tail swatted a fly. What a coincidence! This sword energy was particularly suitable for the practice of the Taixuan Stone Sword Scripture.
At this time, An Chen made a casual move, and the stone sword on the shore flew directly into the lake and landed firmly in An Chen's hand.
When Tang Bao, who was drinking heavily, saw this scene, his eyes flashed, "It's a pretty good flying sword. It seems that the Jingshan Sword Sect is not at peace!" After saying that, he continued to drink, as if there was nothing between heaven and earth.
Just him and wine, nothing else!
At this time, the stone sword was held horizontally in An Chen's hands. The sword trembled slightly, as if cheering for joy. It resonated with the acupoints all over An Chen's body. The wisps of sword energy no longer went towards An Chen, but towards him.
Come!
An Chen was shocked and said, "Good guy, you should leave some for me! I'm still very close to breaking through to the late stage of the Cave Condensation Realm!"
However, Shi Jian didn't seem to understand, and actually swallowed up all the sword energy around him.
Just when An Chen was in a panic but had no choice but to do anything, the stone sword shook again, and the absorbed sword energy was fed back to An Chen himself.
"Hahaha... this feels so good!" An Chen suddenly turned from sadness to happiness and burst into laughter. At this time, the severe pain that was originally severe was actually relieved a lot.
He meditated again and began to polish the acupoints one by one. After all, he had received the inheritance of Bu Renzong and skipped the early stage, which was somewhat counterproductive. Now that he had this opportunity to make up for it, he would not let it go!
This practice lasted half an hour!
However, what An Chen didn't know was that Tang Juan was walking around on the shore feeling restless!
"Why hasn't this kid come out yet? Isn't it because I was frightened?" Tang Biao stroked his beard and asked with a puzzled expression.
However, he remembered Xiao Ronger's evaluation of his son, and he did not think that this person was a person with a very bad character. But now that an hour had passed, there was still no movement, which made Tang Biao's heart beat.
If it weren't for the sword energy in Guanjian Lake and the inability of his spiritual consciousness to enter, he might have been unable to bear the urge to investigate.
Time passed slowly as Tang Juan paced back and forth. After another half an hour, Tang Juan suddenly stood up and said, "No! Even when I entered the lake for the first time, I didn't last for an hour. This time
The kid probably fainted!"
After that, he was about to jump into the lake to save people, but at this moment, there was sudden movement on the lake!
——Cuckoo!
I saw a series of water splashes gushing out of the lake, and a figure slowly emerged. He looked at the anxious Tang Juan on the shore and showed a smile.
"Ahem..." Tang Bao immediately regained his calm expression. He touched his beard and nodded, looking like he was in control.
An Chen couldn't help but laugh. This old man had a strange temper. He looked very anxious just now, but now he looked completely different.
However, this made An Chen feel more favorable towards Tang Bao. After all, a master who cares about his disciples can't be too bad!
He jumped ashore and put on his clothes. Feeling the stronger power in his body, he couldn't help but smile.
"Very good, I didn't expect you to use sword energy to break through to the late stage of the Cave Condensation Realm. But..." Tang Bao changed the topic, "You are a troublemaker. You offended someone when you first came to Beifeng."
An Chen shrugged, looking indifferent. He knew in his heart that nothing that happened on the North Peak would escape the swordsman's eyes.
Unexpectedly, Tang Bao patted him on the shoulder and said: "Not bad, not bad, he is still so calm and composed after getting into trouble, just like I used to be. Hahaha..."
An Chen said helplessly: "Master, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Tang Bao said angrily: "You are really the master of burning bridges across rivers, and you don't want to accompany me for a few sips?" As he said that, he took out the jade gourd.
An Chen thought for a while, then picked up the gourd and drank two sips. But as soon as he drank the wine, he felt a heat rising in his body. The wound cut by the sword energy slowly healed!
"Good stuff!" An Cheng said with eyes shining. He wanted to take a couple more sips. Unexpectedly, Tang Bao snatched the gourd and said, "You stupid young man, just take a couple of sips and it's good. My old man, too."
That’s all there is in stock.”
An Chen touched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Thank you, Master!"
Tang Bao waved his hand, "Don't be so anxious to thank me. In the outer disciple competition ten days later, you must win first place."
An Chen said: "Outer disciples compete? But I'm not interested in fighting."
Tang Bao pursed his lips, knowing in his heart that you are a master who doesn't let go of the rabbit.
"If you win the first place, you will have 20,000 contribution points. Aren't the things you lack most now are resources?"
After An Chen heard this, his face suddenly lit up with joy, and he said with a smile: "Master, if you said so earlier, wouldn't I agree? But let me make it clear first, I am not doing it for the 20,000 contribution value, my main purpose is
I like to hone myself!”
"Definitely!" Tang Bao waved his hand angrily and left without looking back.
An Chen smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the lake that had returned to calm. If the pain hadn't been so unbearable, he would have really wanted to stay at the bottom of the lake.
"Outer disciple competition? Haha..." An Chen seemed to have thought of something, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
