Chapter 4 - Strange Sword Embryo

A comfortable sleep can make a person feel refreshed and a lot more relaxed, if you can sleep until you wake up naturally. She slept quite comfortably, but was awakened by a pain.

"This... this... how can I do this..."

At this moment, 'Liu Ying Yao' is dumbfounded looking at a dark red smear on top of her pants, looking a little helpless.

"Where is it? Where is it---" The unprecedented pain made 'Liu Ying Yao' a little distracted. Her hands and feet were scrambling around the room looking for something.

And at that moment, the door of the room was pushed open: "Ying, sister Yao, what are you looking for?"

What was reflected in Xia Jinxuan's eyes was full of mess, she looked at Liu Ying Yao with suspicion, and was shocked to see the blood on her pants.

The young girl stepped forward and asked with concern, "Sister Ying Yao, how did you get hurt, what kind of person is so bold to come to our sect and hurt people?

Faced with a barrage of questions, 'Liu Ying Yao' felt very difficult, she held her tongue for half a day before spitting out a sentence: "It's not someone, it's Tian Kwai."

"Tian Kwai?" Xia Jinxuan clasped her hands and pursed her lips, thought for half a day and then shook her head: "I've never heard of it, is it some kind of demon? But there shouldn't be any demons inside the clan."

"Uh, it's not a demon, wait another five or six years, you will naturally know."

"Five or six years? Tell me now, Eungyao."

Liu Ying Yao's head was as big as a bucket: how am I supposed to explain this kind of thing to a ten year old girl?

Liu Ying Yao coughed dryly and hurriedly changed the topic: "That, senior sister Xia, if you don't have anything to do, please help me tidy up the room."

"Oh."

A few moments later, the room was restored to its original state, and 'Liu Ying Yao' was holding a few strips of fabric made of cotton in her hands, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Xia Jinxuan took out a set of white palace dress from the closet and handed it over, her big crystal eyes staring at Liu Ying Yao unblinkingly and said, "Sister Ying Yao, I encountered some problems in my cultivation and wanted to ask you about them."

Liu Ying Yao's hand, which was about to take the dress, gave an unnatural pause: "Senior sister, wait outside the house for a while, I'll put the dress on and then come out to you."

"Then I'll wait for you outside." The young lady sniffed with a hint of a different color in her eyes, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of the house.

'Liu Ying Yao', on the other hand, closed her eyes and changed her clothes while recalling the past memories with Xia Jinxuan: cultivation-related, cultivation-related ---

Xia Jinxuan walked around and around the bamboo table in the courtyard, and just when she was about to get impatient, Liu Ying Yao finally came out from inside the house.

"Xuan'er," Liu Ying Yao slowly walked to the bamboo table, sat down gracefully and lightly, and softly inquired, "What difficulties do you have to tell me to listen to sister."

"Sister, when I absorb the spiritual energy, I have some Qi flow problems, I always feel... my chest is blocked."

"Xuan'er, that is because you have not transformed through the spiritual power thoroughly."

"So that's it, then, I always feel that some of the spiritual energy can't stay in my body when I run the gong method around the sky, does sister Ying Yao have any solution?"

"Xuan'er, the cultivation of Qi refining stage is originally like this, that's why there is the division of the ten layers of Qi refining."

"Alas, then it seems there is no hurry, eh, by the way, sister you have not taken me out for a long time ---"

"Sister took you to the market two months ago, we cultivators should not be greedy for pleasure."

"Oh, Xuan'er remember, eh, sister, uncle Liu will soon be a hundred years old, you want to bring what birthday gift?"

"Xuan'er, we cultivation people hundred years old is nothing, besides, and you do not know my relationship with the Liu family --- Xuan'er, any other questions?"

"Well --- no more for now, that's it for today, I have to hurry back to cultivate."

Xia Jinxuan waved her hand at Liu Ying Yao and walked towards the path outside the courtyard.

Just as she was about to leave the courtyard, she suddenly turned back and spoke, "Sister, remember to bring me with you when you go home to pay respect to your ancestors next month."

"Okay, sister remember."

'Liu Ying Yao' went back to her room and sat on her bed and entered into meditation, only opening her eyes late the next night.

"Yesterday, she almost revealed herself, this little girl is always talking about other things between questions.

Liu Ying Yao from the bed, in the room measured step and walk, a moment later from a floor under the dark compartment to take out a storage bag.

"Just leave it here like this, what if someone comes in and takes it away."

"There are only three items in here, it seems she has had a hard time in the past,"

A dozen medium-grade spirit stones, a small white four-sided brocade box, and a sword embryo with a black body like ink, is all that is in the storage bag.

"I think this black thing is the sword embryo she got in a volcanic vein years ago,"

The whole sword embryo is about three feet long, about two fingers wide, making the whole sword embryo looks extremely slender, the black sword body surface has a circle of stripes like being burned out.

"This uneven appearance, I did not expect this delicate and silky, surprisingly no cut feeling at all,"

"According to her memory, this sword embryo when first obtained but the ordinary weight,"

"But for some reason, under her continuous condensation with magic power this sword embryo is getting heavier and heavier, in the end there is a feeling of a thousand pounds, if not with magic power to support simply can not pick up."

After putting the sword embryo back into the storage bag and dissipating her magic power, 'Liu Ying Yao' shifted her gaze to the white four-sided brocade box.

"This fragment, what exactly is it---"

Push open the box lid, only to see the center of a small piece of I do not know from what objects fallen fragments, its material is unknown, the surface seems to be similar to the pattern of the residual mark.

The moment she reached out and touched the fragment, a small fragment of a silent fight suddenly appeared in her mind.

'Liu Ying Yao' was very puzzled: "What exactly is this fragment, why is there a fighting image appearing, and who are those two people!"

After putting away the sword embryo and fragment, she went to the backyard and kept practicing one spell and magic trick after another repeatedly, spending the latter days in this state.

On the other hand.

Xia Jinxuan did not carry out cultivation as she said, but went inside the sect's Hidden Book Building.

At this moment, she held a jade slip in her hand next to her forehead and concentrated on the contents of the jade slip, and only after a few moments did she open her eyes.

"In the past, no matter what happened to Sister Ying Yao will always be very calm treatment, never like today this fumbling,"

"And she definitely will not call me sister and master,"

"But the instability of the soul and body dissonance recorded in the jade slip did not appear,"

"Further, the memory can obtain one ten two is already the limit, but today I talked with it down, its words although there is hesitation but there is no error."

Although the young girl is young, a pair of soulful eyes are full of intelligence.

Xia Jinxuan was still in her early childhood when her family was invaded by bandits and her parents died, if not for Liu Ying Yao who happened to meet and save her back to raise her, she would have died long ago.

"But when I went to see her today, I always felt that something was wrong."

"Could it be that this so-called heavenly anemone is really haunting?" Xia Jinxuan shook her head: but I didn't find any records about the heavenly anemone, it's really strange.

"I hope I'm just being paranoid." She put the jade slip back to its original place, and then left the Hidden Book Building.
