Chapter 52: The Tao of Natural Law

  So, no one will bother with this, it's not worth it!!

  The quota for ordinary people is relatively strict, and there are only ten places in the ordinary zone, no matter good or bad, there are only ten!!

  This may be the difference in treatment between aristocratic families and commoners, or it may simply be that it is not easy to find strong people in the commoner district. One state with ten is already good enough, and if there are geniuses who go against heaven, ten places will suffice, and talent will not be buried.

  It's impossible for a province to produce more than ten geniuses at the same time. It's already great if there is one, and two would be the limit!!

  After the end of the two-tiered preliminary round, Qingyun State held another performance match, mixing the commoner group with the aristocratic families into several teams to play a cooperative mode match.

  As a result, the team led by Nangong Suxin won easily, while Mo Mian, Lin Yi and Pingmin Zhanbai all performed exceptionally well in their respective teams, attracting many people's attention and making this year's Qingyun Prefecture look promising.

  No one judges Da S and Gu Xing for they didn't participate at all!

  The big sister was too lazy to attend, on the day of the performance competition, she was drinking carefree Tibetan wine in Guxing, and Guxing naturally didn't go because of accompanying the big sister, but because she thought the performance competition was meaningless, it's better to practice sword at home!!

  ……

  Another day...

  "Seventh Sister, where's Xiao Yao?" asked Eldest Miss while drinking wine.

  "I don't know, I haven't seen another human being for fifty days!" Gu Xing replied casually while practicing his sword.

  "Is this kid still at the Sword Casting Workshop?" The big sister asked herself, with some doubt in her mind. She had seen Xiao Yao only forty days ago, but Gu Xing was already fifty days old, could it be that he and Gu Xing had been separated for an even longer time?

  "Maybe!" said Lone Star indifferently.

  "Does he often go for so long without being seen?"

  "Hmm! The longest time was three months without seeing anyone, but every time I had something going on, he would immediately appear, just like he was always by my side!"

  “……”

  This kid has a special talent for being the master of the house, throwing his owners to one side. However, thinking carefully, when you need him, he's always there, as if he's already fulfilled his responsibilities!

  Some people are always around, but when you need them, they're nowhere to be found or are of no use. It's better if he just wasn't around at all!!!

  Besides, why has it been forty days and his sword still hasn't been forged? This is also too strange, hehe, I'll go take a look!!

  "Seventh sister, let's go see what that little brat is up to..."

  "No, he doesn't like to be disturbed. He'll show up naturally when he's done with his things. Besides, if he needs anything, he'll call for someone himself!!" Lonely Star shook her head, she understood Xīao very well. She wouldn't do something as meaningless as this. She would only work hard on her cultivation, which was the best way to repay Xīao and what he wanted most.

  "Then I'll go, don't worry, I won't disturb him from doing things, just watch from the side!" The young lady saw that Gu Xing wanted to say something and preemptively shut her up.

  Lonely Star continued to practice his sword skills, while Big Sister flashed away...

  "Ding ding......"

  "Ding ding......"

  The big sister found Xiangyang, and here are all kinds of clanging sounds. Xiangyang is tempering the sword in his hand, and there are not a few people around who are doing the same thing, so the sound is very noisy.

  While the big sister found Xiao Yao, she stood on one side and watched for a long time, but Xiao Yao didn't pay attention to her, only continuing to hammer the sword body with a rhythmic tap of his hammer.

  The big sister really didn't go to disturb him until Xiangyang threw the sword into the furnace again, preparing for the next forging.

  "Big sister, what are you doing here? It's hot and stuffy. Don't look for trouble!" Xiao Yao said to big sister, who was sweating all over her body and looked a bit uncomfortable, but she persisted.

  "What business is it of yours that I like him?" The young lady retorted ill-temperedly, if not for agreeing with Seventh Sister to not disturb you, I wouldn't have waited until now.

  "This is indeed none of my business, you go on!" said Xiao Yao lightly.

  "Let's just continue!" said the big sister, wait a minute, I seem to have forgotten what I came here for?

  When the elder sister remembered, she wanted to ask Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao picked up the red-hot sword body and continued to forge.

  The big sister saw this and could only remain silent, but at this time, she discovered a strange thing. The sword body of the carefree was red only on the edge of the blade, while the middle part seemed to have no change.

  How can this be? It should all be scorched black! Why is it like this?!

  "Operating the skill of circulating Qi, absorbing heat..."

  Just as the young lady was getting a bit annoyed by the heat, Xiao Yao's voice entered her ears. There weren't many words, but she knew what to do now.

  Xiaoyao is too lazy to pretend to be high-end or say any slogans, that's completely unnecessary for the young lady!

  The big sister found that this was indeed good after running the heart method, and suddenly felt no heat, but had a comfortable feeling. She now understands why Xīao Yáo didn't sweat, it was because of this!

  "Hmph, since you knew this all along, why didn't you say it earlier? It's all because of you that I've been suffering in vain!!"

  As for this question, in the next round of tempering, Big Sister asked and got an answer.

  "This is a small application, using heart method and martial arts, you will find that life is full of practice, everywhere can gain new insights."

  “……”

  The big sister who got the answer fell silent, watching Xiangyang practicing with a hammer. Suddenly, she seemed to understand. She seemed to see that each time Xiangyang practiced with the hammer, there was a kind of regularity, but it seemed like there was no regularity at all.

  She was puzzled and lost in thought, and before she knew it, she had been staring at Xiangyang for a whole day until the end of Xiangyang!

  This made many people feel strange, but the big sister's behavior was originally very strange, so they didn't go to disturb her. After the working hours were over, everyone packed up and rested.

  And in the end, when everything was over, the big sister still remained dazed...

  He glanced at the big sister who was in a daze, and then he went on to do the next thing, which was quenching. He had just completed the last step of forging.

  Tempering is actually a very quick process, it only takes a short while, at least for the forging process, this is just a short period of time!

  Control the sword body at a certain high temperature, and then after a period of time, quickly cool it down by immersing it in a quenching medium. This is quenching. Although simple, the grasp requires many things, but for Xīaoyáo, this is as easy as a home-cooked meal.

  Xiaoyao also uses his own quenched coolant, but no one knows what's inside. However, the effect is very good. Some weapons that Xiaoyao used to quench with the remaining stuff found their quality and performance improved by a level, leaving those people both delighted and perplexed.

  Delighted with the good weapon I made, but what's puzzling is that it seems like me and before, but after that, there was no such effect.

  It seems like another good luck under the luck of fortune!!

  After completing the quenching and tempering process, it was already late at night, but Xiao Yao didn't stop work. He continued to do the final procedure, which was to sharpen the blade!

  This wasn't what Xiao Yao wanted to finish the sword with one breath, he originally planned to do it tomorrow, but he continued for no other reason than that the young lady was still standing there.

  He didn't want to disturb Big Sister because he knew that Big Sister was in a state of enlightenment, and if successful, would elevate her martial arts by another level.

  However, he couldn't leave his little sister alone, because in cultivation, sometimes some situations would occur, such as going crazy from excessive practice!!

  "Haha...... I get it, I get it......"

  The big sister suddenly shouted, looking a bit hysterical...

  Has he gone mad?

  It doesn't seem like it. The young lady was always like this, and Xiao Yao could sense it. The young lady's mind is very clear, she's just a little excited.

  I think I've figured it out, but I'm not sure what it is!!!

  The big sister quickly told Xiao Yao the answer, she casually picked up a sword and started dancing, where did the sword come from? Do you need to ask, Zhū Jiàn Fāng has plenty of swords!

  Watching the big sister's sword dance, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and repeating, but each repetition seems to have a kind of change, this change is what all warriors want to see.

  The sword moves become more and more exquisite, more and more untraceable!

  Xiaoyao continued to polish after seeing this situation, and it's almost coming to an end. She might as well finish it off, so the big sister won't have to worry about it anymore. Now she is consolidating her own understanding, and there won't be any more unexpected events from here on out.

  However, I believe that when the people from the swordsmith's workshop come to work, they will scold loudly, wondering who has been messing around here, as there are sword marks everywhere, even on the iron anvil. Also, the swords that were forged yesterday have all been broken or had their blades curled up.

  It's easy to imagine how long Big Sister danced with her sword this time, and the power was not small either. The sword mark is a clear explanation!!

  Later on, those swordsmiths didn't dare to scold anymore, because everyone thought of a possibility, that was the young lady, wasn't she here yesterday?

  When the big sister finished realizing and thoroughly woke up, looking at the mess in front of her eyes, she threw away the sword in her hand and pretended that nothing had happened, which made people feel very funny.

  Fortunately, there was only Xiao Yao in the scene, and Xiao Yao also ignored the young lady, continuing to sharpen his sword.

  "Xiaoyao, why did you tap the hammer and make me realize all these things?" The young lady squatted beside Xiaoyao, speaking softly, as if asking him, yet also seeming to ask herself.

  "I didn't say that before, but in life, you can gain insight from everything! You've reached a certain level of understanding, and then with just a little stimulation, you'll have an epiphany!" Xiao Yao replied while sharpening his sword.
