A few days later, Xiao Tian and his group finally returned to Shrek Academy.
Ning Rongrong found that her Grandpa Sword was not in the academy. He probably hadn't arrived yet, right?
"Alright, although the trip to Star Dou Great Forest was quite thrilling, Oscar and Xiao Tian both had good harvests. I'll give you three days off to rest well, and then we'll proceed with the next stage of training!"
Flender said to everyone.
Then he disappeared by himself.
Tang San: ...
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and said, "Little San, come with me for a moment."
He was a bit worried that Tang San might feel unbalanced because his Spirit Bone was removed, and then he saw Xiao Tian obtain an external Spirit Bone, the Sword Wing. He felt it was necessary to counsel him.
People aren't afraid of comparison; what they're afraid of is comparing themselves and finding they're inferior in all aspects.
Originally, Tang San was quite pleased with himself for getting an Eight Spider Lances external Spirit Bone.
But now, his external Spirit Bone was gone, while Xiao Tian had one. This feeling was not pleasant.
Xiao Tian, eager to improve the Evil Exorcising Swordplay, bid farewell to Xiao Wu and the others, then immediately shut himself in his room.
"I'm going into seclusion for these three days. I'm off!"
Xiao Wu and others: ???
Going into seclusion right after returning?
So diligent?
Xiao Wu and the other two exchanged glances, secretly making up their minds.
Cultivate!
After closing his door, Xiao Tian sat cross-legged on his bed.
He had already memorized all the essential points of the Evil Exorcising Swordplay on the way back. Now, he just needed to figure out how to improve it.
Da Ming and Er Ming also flew out of Xiao Tian's spiritual space.
"Phew! Finally, I can breathe some fresh air. There's nothing in this spiritual space. Even if I can see the outside world, I always feel like something is missing."
Er Ming couldn't help but complain a little.
"Alright, alright, let's not disturb Xiao Tian's cultivation. Besides, we followed him out not for fun, right? It's good for Xiao Tian's strength to improve quickly; otherwise, when my cultivation reaches 200,000 years and I resist the heavenly tribulation, it might affect him."
During these few days of returning to the academy, Xiao Tian also secretly revised the contract with Da Ming and Er Ming to an advanced version one night.
After that, Da Ming and Er Ming clearly felt that their own strength was the same as before the contract, and they were no longer limited by Xiao Tian's own strength.
They were also very surprised by this. How long had it been? Xiao Tian had actually improved this contract method for them!
Overthinking is the most fatal!
In just a few days, they could clearly feel Xiao Tian's genuine kindness towards them!
Xiao Tian was currently focused on improving the Evil Exorcising Swordplay and had no idea what Da Ming and Er Ming were thinking.
Inside Xiao Tian's spirit tool, there was also a Blue Silver Grass swaying. During this time, she had been quietly observing the outside world, as if she had been forgotten.
Achoo~~
Xiao Tian suddenly sneezed, rubbing his nose.
He didn't pay it any mind.
Ah Yin: ...
Well, Xiao Tian had temporarily forgotten about Ah Yin. After all, he had so many things to do now, how could he still care about Ah Yin? He just let her stay in the spirit tool and experience it herself.
At this moment, in Xiao Tian's mind, the sword manual of the Evil Exorcising Swordplay was displayed in text form.
Then, Xiao Tian realized that the reason one needed to castrate oneself to cultivate the Evil Exorcising Swordplay was due to an extreme pursuit of a specific state of mind and a method of internal energy (spirit power) circulation.
So, how could he unleash the stronger power of the Evil Exorcising Swordplay without self-castration?
Subsequently, he discovered that the internal energy of the Evil Exorcising Swordplay was originally too rigid and extreme, becoming even more so after self-castration.
This could be harmonized by introducing other internal cultivation methods, incorporating the concept of Yin and Yang balance, to achieve equilibrium between rigidity and flexibility in the internal energy.
This way, it could retain the speed and sharpness of the Evil Exorcising Swordplay while avoiding loss of control due to overly rigid internal energy!
As for introducing other internal cultivation methods, it was actually very simple. He could incorporate what he had learned from the Xuanyuan Sword Sutra into it for improvement, making it achieve Yin and Yang balance.
Soon, an hour passed, and Xiao Tian finally completed the improvement of the entire Evil Exorcising Swordplay.
However, to better adapt to the improved Evil Exorcising Swordplay, Xiao Tian took out silver needles from his spirit tool.
He planned to stimulate the acupoints all over his body, unblock some meridians within his body, and expand the capacity of his meridians to withstand the power after performing the Evil Exorcising Swordplay.
Controlling needles with Qi!
Da Ming and Er Ming suddenly noticed the commotion from Xiao Tian's side.
Xiao Tian had stripped off his upper garment, his eyes tightly shut, but several silver needles floated in the air, piercing into Xiao Tian's skin at an extremely fast speed.
"Holy crap, Big Brother, look, what is Xiao Tian doing? He's turned himself into a hedgehog!"
Er Ming was a bit bewildered.
Da Ming shook his head slightly: "I'm not sure either. Let's just stand guard by his side. Xiao Tian should know what he's doing."
What they could do now was to guard by Xiao Tian's side.
They were now tightly bound to Xiao Tian, and they didn't want anything to happen to him.
Another hour passed.
Boom!
Xiao Tian's body trembled, and he opened his eyes, his gaze sharp like a ruler. The silver needles on his body were shaken off by Xiao Tian's own aura and all pierced into the wood.
Xiao Tian performed an internal examination of his body and found that his meridians had indeed widened considerably, and the flow of spirit power was smoother and faster.
It took almost two hours, but he finally improved the Evil Exorcising Swordplay. Now, he just needed to test the final result.
Suddenly, something seemed to flash in Xiao Tian's mind.
He patted his head.
How could he have forgotten about this!
Instantly, the ring on Xiao Tian's hand flashed, and a potted plant containing a Blue Silver Grass appeared in Xiao Tian's hand.
"Oh, Xiao Tian, why do you have an interest in growing Blue Silver Grass?"
Er Ming originally wanted to congratulate Xiao Tian on his successful cultivation, but then he saw Xiao Tian suddenly take out a Blue Silver Grass and asked curiously.
Things like Blue Silver Grass were common in the Star Dou Great Forest. Although they were Spirit Beasts, in Er Ming's eyes, they were pretty much like weeds, with only the characteristic of strong vitality.
Even if they were killed, they could still grow new ones from their roots.
"No, Er Ming, look closely at the blue-gold patterns on this Blue Silver Grass. This... this isn't a Blue Silver Grass; this is one of the inherent characteristics of the Blue Silver Emperor!"
Da Ming, with his sharp eyes, noticed the difference in this Blue Silver Grass.
But in his impression, the Blue Silver Emperor was a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, fundamentally different from Blue Silver Grass. This one in front of him was clearly a hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass?
