Chapter 55: Number One Sword Skill In The World (2/2)

Granny Si held his hand and brought him back to the gate of the village. At the gate, Village Chief and Apothecary were still brewing tea while the young patriarch sat in front of them. The three of them drank together.

”Village Chief, the Sword Hall Master is persistent to have a sword skill contest with Qin Mu.”

Granny Si beamed, ”Why don't you teach him a thing or two?”

Village Chief frowned and shook his head, ”In such a short time, it will still be difficult to win the opponent even with my guidance. After all, nobody knows how many years the Sword Hall Master has been immersed in the study of sword skills. He should probably have got some achievement of his own. You want me to teach Mu'er a thing or two, and then he would be able immediately to win the Sword Hall Master. Isn't it like reaching for the stars?”

”But it's a good thing Mu'er is an Overlord Body, am I right?” Granny Si blinked his eyes innocently.

”Overlord Body…”

The corners of Village Chief's eyes started twitching and he was starting to regret what he had done.

After all, he was the one who insisted that Mu'er was the Overlord Body that he had made up. Qin Mu being able to awaken his spirit embryo was already out of his expectation, but he knew there was a limit to everything. It was a Herculean task to make Qin Mu able to fight against an outstanding sword skill expert from Devil Cult in just a short time.

Granny Si had pushed this task to him and he, of all people, couldn't reject her.

Village Chief muttered to himself for a moment before saying, ”Mu'er, recite to me the Secret Of Elixir Heart that you had learned from Gu Linuan.”

Qin Mu immediately recited out Secret Of Elixir Heart once and Village Chief nodded in admiration, ”The Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor has indeed created an accomplishment by gathering all the sword experts in the world. The sword control techniques of Secret Of Elixir Heart truly have its originality.”

The young patriarch in front of him also sighed in admiration, ”The Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor is a genius.”

Village Chief continued, ”Tell me how did Gu Linuan explain the Secret Of Elixir Heart to you.”

Qin Mu repeated Gu Linuan's explanation word for word and Village Chief smiled and kept silent for a while, ”Gu Linuan had selfishly hidden away some stuff.”

He pointed out the mistakes within it and Qin Mu immediately used qi to manipulate sword after he tried changing the mistakes that Village Chief had fixed, becoming very impressed after he found that controlling the sword became much easier and faster.

The eyes of young patriarch lit up as he smiled, ”Gu Linuan didn't hide stuff selfishly. It was that his comprehension was limited and not as profound as brother. You only heard it once and you could completely comprehend the entire profundity of Secret Of Elixir Heart whereas he who had cultivated it all his life had still cultivated wrongly.”

”Thanks for the praise, brother.”

Village Chief looked at Qin Mu and said in a steady pace, ”I shall not teach you sword skill. I shall only teach you a simple movement, which is stab.”

”Stab?”

Qin Mu was stumped. Wasn't stabbing as easy as using vital qi to manipulate the sword to stab forward? Why was there a need to learn?

”Using the sword to stab is not as simple as you think. Even if you don't know sword skills, as long as you master this stabbing movement, not much sword skill experts in the Spirit Embryo Realm would be able to defeat you in this world.”

Village Chief continued, ”Using an ordinary sword, try using qi to manipulate the sword to stab into the pillar of the butcher's shop.”

Qin Mu executed Secret Of Elixir Heart and his vital qi which was as thick as an arm swept up a treasure sword in his sword pouch, flying towards the pillar of the butcher's shop in the village.

Thud.

Qin Mu stabbed through the pillar of the butcher's shop with the tip of the sword coming out from the back of the pillar. The cowherd boy then turned back to look at Village Chief.

Village Chief's expression turned stiff as he coughed, ”Try stabbing this rock.”

Qin Mu's vital qi curled and pulled the treasure sword out from the pillar and with a clang, the sharp sword pierced through the mountain rock in front of Village Chief. The cowherd boy once again turned back and innocently looked at Village Chief whose expression had turned totally stiff.

The young patriarch felt startled and funny at the same time, however, he could only restrain his laughter as to not be impolite.

”I've forgotten this kid's vital qi cultivation is extremely dense. His sword skill may be utter crap but with the support of his extremely dense vital qi, the power of his stab had increased exponentially.”

Village Chief covered up his awkward by giving off a few coughs and continued, ”Trying stabbing through your Pig Slaughtering Knife.”

A crisp clink sound rang out, however, Qin Mu wasn't able to pierce through the Pig Slaughtering Knife this time.

”It's lucky he didn't pierce through it else I wouldn't have any idea on how to teach him…”

Village Chief secretly gave a sigh of relief and guided patiently, ”So what did you feel when you stab your sword?”

Qin Mu pondered over it carefully and his eyes suddenly lit up, ”I felt that my vital qi wasn't strong enough. When using qi to manipulate sword, my vital qi was somewhat obstructed at the tip of the sword. It felt like having an entire body filled with strength yet I'm beating someone with my hair. The vital qi thread was too flimsy and can't handle all of my strength.”
