Chapter 210 The Blade and the Brocade Robe
The verse was clear and light, sketching in a few words the shy, natural charm of a young girl, innocent and unguarded, vivid enough to feel as though the scene were there before the eyes and alive in the heart.That final line, the girl stepping back and catching only the scent of green plum, was the best of it. It seemed to pull the reader back into some carefree early time, before the world had grown heavy.Lan Ying read it, and her eyes brightened. She carried the paper to the performance platform and began to find the melody. Lan Ying had a natural sense of rhythm and took to it quickly. Before long, she was singing.When the song ended, even Hong Xue noticed the difference and said, "The girl sang just now like a bird set free."The tune was light, the words were clear, and Lan Ying's voice moved easily through it, bright and unencumbered, everything that had been subdued and weighed down in the earlier song now lifted away.Lan Ying looked at Mo Qian with clear eyes and said, "
Chapter 209 The Scent of Green Plum
In his current state of hard training, he had no particular desire to go. But looking at the hopeful faces of his two friends, and feeling the weight of having neglected them for some time, Mo Qian could not bring himself to refuse. He said, "It is a fine evening. Shall we go to Huaying Tower?""Now you're talking!" Both of them were on their feet smiling before the words were out.Ximen Kankan looked at Jiang Qingyu with a triumphant grin. "See? I told you Brother Mo would come. One hundred taels, hand it over.""You were right, you were right." Jiang Qingyu slapped a silver note into Ximen Kankan's palm. Though he had lost the bet, the fact that Mo Qian was coming was worth more to him than the money.Mo Qian looked at the two of them laughing, rubbed his nose, and was briefly at a loss for words.These two had actually been betting on whether he would agree to come.That was quite something.At night, Huaying Tower was the most dazzling and lively place in all of Xiangu County.The
Chapter 208 An Invitation to Huaying Tower
Seeing how hard Mo Qian was driving himself, neither of them wanted to disturb him further and they left, though not without some reluctance.After more than ten days of relentless training, Mo Qian finally broke through to the third level of inner breath.He was naturally pleased, but he did not allow himself to relax. He slept well for one night and immediately threw himself into the work of pursuing the fourth level.After beginning, Mo Qian found that the fourth level of inner breath was fundamentally different in nature from the first three. No wonder Xiao Yu, Xia Shuangshuang and the others had been stuck at this threshold and could not push through.The advancement of inner breath at the fourth level was worth almost as much as all three preceding levels combined.And the complexity of the circulation pathway at the fourth level could only be described as extreme.That Ximen Kankan had reached the fourth level relying purely on his own natural mental power talent was genuinely
Chapter 207 The Suspicious Shadow
What had actually happened was that during the period of sparring with Mo Qian, whose own progress had been rapid, Ximen Kankan had been drawn into a higher level of engagement, and his own deep martial talent had responded. Without particularly meaning to, his understanding of the Thunder Smoke Blade had advanced. He simply had not been paying attention to these changes in himself."Even so, this boy has never liked martial arts. The improvement during this period sits oddly with me. Something is not quite right."Could it be that the boy had actually changed his ways?Ximen Yong called his maidservant Meiqin over and asked her to bring Shi Kang.After about the time to brew a cup of tea, Meiqin led Shi Kang to the pavilion, bowed, and withdrew.Ximen Yong looked at Shi Kang and asked whether Kankan had been practicing martial arts recently.Shi Kang first said he had not been practicing, but when he saw Ximen Yong's expression shift, his eyes moved and he said, "The young master has
Chapter 206 The Return of Ximen Yong
Although Mo Qian now had a thorough grasp of the properties of almost every known herb, that understanding was built upon the framework of treating disease in ordinary bodies. The way those same herbs acted on inner breath cultivation was an entirely different subject.Mo Qian came to a clear realization. To solve this problem, he needed someone who both practiced martial arts and medicine, and was more inclined toward medicine. Without the martial arts practice, how could such a person understand the relationship between medicinal properties and inner breath in motion?But was there such a person in Xiangu County?Mo Qian had never heard of one.He had no doubt such people existed somewhere in the wider world. The single-ingredient cultivation prescriptions had to have come from somewhere, which meant someone had worked out that relationship at some point. It was simply that Xiangu County was too isolated and remote to have produced or attracted such a rare combination of talents.Mo
Chapter 205 The Separation of Two Paths
With such an opportunity, and such relentless dedication, no wonder his skills advanced so far, Mo Qian thought to himself.He looked at the yellowed pages, worn smooth in many places from decades of handling and darkened with old sweat stains, and his heart moved. He said inwardly: Read the spirit of the instrument.A set of data appeared before him:Artifact: Worn Annotated Medical TextSpirit level: Level 2Devouring requirement: Host mental power level 2 (satisfied)Devouring effect: Medical theory, proficient; Herb identification, proficientMo Qian looked at the data panel and his brow furrowed slightly, his eyes flickering with thought.He recalled that the last time he had tried reading the spirit of Xiao Zongting's Five Tigers and Sheep Knife manual, the devouring effect had come back blank. Yet this relic of Gu Suxiu's grandfather registered as a second-level weapon spirit.Mo Qian turned it over in his mind and quickly understood the reason.The manual Xiao Zongting had giv
