Chapter 1522 - 1369: My Younger Brother Is the Villain 66
Nantian Ghost Kingdom, Nie Shuangshuang had a bit of a headache. That was not a good place to go. The ghost qi inside was eerie, and the yin miasma was very thick.Nantian Ghost Kingdom was extremely large, yet there wasn’t a trace of spiritual energy inside. Entering it required constant supplementation of spiritual energy through spirit stones—it’s a place where every step you take burns spirit stones.
Moreover, the entire Nantian Ghost Kingdom was boundless. Trying to find a person in there was like finding a needle in a haystack, a difficulty that wasn’t ordinary.
However, for Ruoyang’s sake, Nie Shuangshuang still agreed without hesitation. "As long as senior is willing to give me the Soul Nourishing Pill, I promise to do it."
Xu Fengsheng was initially worried that Nie Shuangshuang would refuse. Nantian Ghost Kingdom wasn’t a place for the young to train because that place really wasn’t suitable for training.
Xu Fengsheng’s disciple initially wasn’t heading to Nantian Ghost Kingdom to train. They were headed somewhere else, but halfway there, they somehow ended up in Nantian Ghost Kingdom, and then there was no news.
This disciple was not only Xu Fengsheng’s but also his brother’s child, his own nephew. Xu Fengsheng had always treated this disciple like a son, and upon learning of his disappearance, he was going mad with worry.
The problem was that although Xu Fengsheng was at the Half-step Loose Immortal stage, that cultivation merely meant more spiritual energy. In terms of combat, a Pill Master’s fighting prowess was famously weak, so even reaching Half-step Loose Immortal didn’t change that.
If it came to real combat, let alone someone of the same cultivation level, even a cultivator at the Out-of-Body Stage could easily give him trouble, so even though Xu Fengsheng was frantic, he didn’t dare to venture alone into Nantian Ghost Kingdom.
Inside Nantian Ghost Kingdom, high-level ghost demons and ghost generals were countless. He feared that if he entered, he might not find the person and instead put himself in danger.
Originally, Xu Fengsheng planned to use elixirs to assemble a group of high-cultivation cultivators to enter Nantian Ghost Kingdom.
However, cultivators above the Out-of-Body Stage were all exceptional geniuses, who rarely used elixirs for cultivation, so there were very few higher-level cultivators who could be swayed by elixirs.
Xu Fengsheng spent quite some time and only managed to find three people willing to follow him to Nantian Ghost Kingdom.
These were people who had close persons with poor cultivation potential, intending to do Xu Fengsheng a favor in advance, hoping that in the future, he wouldn’t refuse when they needed some precious elixir.
Nie Shuangshuang’s combat strength was famously formidable in the cultivation world, and now she had broken through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, even stronger than before. Xu Fengsheng hadn’t even considered being able to invite Nie Shuangshuang.
Who would have known that just when he was in need, Nie Shuangshuang would come forward herself? Normally, Xu Fengsheng would be reluctant to part with a single Soul Nourishing Pill, as elixirs that could heal the sea of consciousness weren’t easy to come by.
But now, to Xu Fengsheng, this was simply an unexpected surprise. Seeing Nie Shuangshuang agree, he feared she might change her mind.
"Since Immortal Master Nie has agreed, you may stay at my Dan Dao Sect for a few days. I will start the refining process for the Soul Nourishing Pill immediately.
Refining the Soul Nourishing Pill takes seven days. During this time, Immortal Master Nie can take your disciple to tour my Dan Dao Sect, which is very lively and well worth a visit."
It wasn’t that Xu Fengsheng wasn’t anxious to find his disciple, but it’s already been half a year since it’s been confirmed that his disciple was missing, and their identity jade showed no signs of life-threatening danger.
So much time had passed, and being anxious wouldn’t make a difference for these few days. Xu Fengsheng noticed that Nie Shuangshuang was quite urgent about the Soul Nourishing Pill.
Xu Fengsheng thought it best to be straightforward and do Nie Shuangshuang a favor first, so she would put more effort into finding the person later on.
With the decision made, Xu Fengsheng immediately arranged accommodations for Nie Shuangshuang and Feng Feiyu, then went into seclusion to refine the Soul Nourishing Pill. The sooner he finished it, the sooner they could head to Nantian Ghost Kingdom.
Originally, Nie Shuangshuang intended to bring Feng Feiyu to Dan Dao Sect for a change of scenery, to seek the pill while letting Feng Feiyu enjoy the sect.
Dan Dao Sect had a harmonious and lively atmosphere, which might alleviate Feng Feiyu’s somewhat obsessive nature if he spent a few days here.
However, now it was clearly not feasible, as Nie Shuangshuang had to go to Nantian Ghost Kingdom. That place was still a bit too challenging for a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
Nie Shuangshuang planned to teach Feng Feiyu swordsmanship in the days while waiting for the Soul Nourishing Pill, then send him back to have her father, Nie Jinglin, teach him, fostering the father-son relationship.
Previously, Nie Shuangshuang noticed that Feng Feiyu wasn’t actually averse to his father, Nie Jinglin. Since there was no aversion, more time spent together would deepen their bond.
Xu Fengsheng had prepared a secluded little mountain peak for Nie Shuangshuang, complete with a mountaintop lake surrounded by lovely purple flowers, which were naturally a type of spiritual medicine.
This place was very peaceful. Nie Shuangshuang refused Xu Fengsheng’s offer of attendants, making it perfect for teaching Feng Feiyu swordsmanship.
Having been by Nie Shuangshuang’s side for so long, Feng Feiyu hadn’t had much time to learn, mostly running around everywhere. Seeing that Nie Shuangshuang was going to teach him swordsmanship, he immediately became excited.
Nie Shuangshuang and Feng Feiyu stood at a clearing by the small lake, with Nie Shuangshuang holding the Returning Clear Sword she had given to Feng Feiyu.
Feng Feiyu looked at Nie Shuangshuang with a serious expression. Nie Shuangshuang held the sword in one hand, the other behind her back: "Though you’re a man, your strength is insufficient. Therefore, the sword techniques you practice shouldn’t follow too aggressive a route.
Today, I shall teach you the Four Sword Techniques. The first move, Piercing Mountain and Water, follows a light and agile path, striking like a dragonfly skimming the water, prioritizing speed.
The second move, Endless, focuses on the continuous aspect. The sword move strikes at the enemy, absorbing the power of their attack and turning it back upon them, hence the name Endless.
The third move, Ice Extreme Fire Dance, transitions from extreme cold to extreme yang. The inner strength operates as yin and yang, beginning the sword with ice and ending with fire, the intersection of ice and fire can damage the enemy’s meridians and dantian internally.
The fourth move, Inch and Mile, is not an offensive move but is used for evasion, borrowing strength to shift aside. Using the opponent’s incoming force to instantly move away, as if an inch and a mile apart, close yet elusive.
These Four Sword Techniques all follow a light and agile path, most suitable for someone lacking strength. Learning these techniques will provide you with your most formidable means of attack until you reach the Golden Core stage.
Your lack of strength is connected to the damage in your body’s foundation. After reaching Golden Core, you can reconstruct your physical body, remedying your deficiencies. At that point, you can focus on strengthening your power, addressing the weakness of lacking strength.
Now, I will demonstrate these Four Sword Techniques for you. Watch closely, ask questions if you don’t understand anything, and I will naturally explain. Don’t keep your questions to yourself and ponder; it’s easy to veer off track and waste time."
