Chapter 75 New Year's Eve
A few days later, in Shuzhong.
Ni Kun came to the secret room, locked the door, took out the flying sword, and started to sacrifice the sword again.
To sacrifice blood to nourish the flying sword requires the consumption of energy, blood and spirit.
Even with Ni Kun's current strong blood and energy, and the powerful recovery ability brought by the vigorous vitality of his "Wood Spirit Bloodline" after his third transformation, he could not withstand it once a day.
The flying sword can only be sacrificed once every two days.
Today was his third time to sacrifice his flying sword, and he was already familiar with the process.
Pierce the fingertips, squeeze out the blood, use the blood as ink, concentrate on the fingertips, and wave your hands to draw talismans.
As blood and spirit were continuously absorbed by the flying sword.
The thin line of blood on the spine of the Chenghuang Flying Sword became increasingly clear and vivid, and as lively as a spirit snake.
With the experience from the previous two times, Ni Kun already knew the most appropriate number of blood runes to draw.
Before you feel dizzy or tired, stop and sit quietly to rest.
After recovering for a while, he concentrated on sensing the flying swords, and felt that the connection between the flying swords became deeper and closer, and he even felt that he could control them with just a thought.
Ni Kun did not hesitate and immediately activated his flying sword.
Buzz!
The flying sword trembled slightly, and a bright yellow light flashed on the sword body. It floated up from his knees, and under the urging of his thoughts, it circled around him crookedly in a very unstable trajectory like a toddler.
Seeing this, Ni Kun smiled.
Although his flying was very unsteady and he couldn't yet produce the lightning sword light that Mao Tai could produce at such a close distance, which was so fast that even Zhu Yuyan couldn't react, it was a good start after all.
From now on, you just need to keep on nurturing and getting familiar with it, and sooner or later you will be able to be like Mao Tai, who can scare away all the masters with a single flash of his sword.
When he was urging the flying sword, he was also consuming his energy, blood, and spirit.
The previous sacrifice to the flying sword had already consumed a lot of his energy, blood and spirit.
At this time, I tried to control the flying sword for a while, and my energy, blood and spirit were consumed at an accelerated rate, and soon reached their limit. I felt dizzy in my head, my body was tired, and I even had a vague feeling of being drained of emptiness.
It was even more tiring than learning the Yin Gui secret technique from Zhu Yuyan .
By the way, ever since I obtained the wood spirit bloodline, I no longer feel as tired as before when I learn Zhu Yuyan's Yin Gui secret skills.
That's going too far.
At this time, as he urged the flying sword to move, his qi, blood and spirit continued to be depleted, and he suddenly felt dizzy and weak. Ni Kun quickly severed the spiritual connection with the flying sword, put the flying sword back into the mustard seed ring, and closed his eyes to rest.
The loss of Qi and blood depends entirely on one's own vitality and hematopoietic ability to recover.
This is not a problem at all for Ni Kun.
He cultivated the Bull Demon's great strength and the Tiger Demon's bone refining to achieve minor success, and obtained the "flame bloodline", and his qi and blood were already strong.
After obtaining the "Wood Spirit Bloodline", the vitality of the body becomes abnormally vigorous, and the hematopoietic ability increases greatly.
With this level of blood and energy loss now, there is no need to use Blood Bodhi to recover, nor will it deplete his origin or damage his foundation. He only needs to rest for a day or two to fully recover.
As he continues to practice, his physique will continue to grow stronger and the speed of blood recovery will continue to shorten.
As for the spirit, recovery takes a little longer.
After all, he had no method to actively cultivate his primordial spirit, and could only rely on the recovery of his qi and blood to feed back to his body and recover passively.
In addition, the "Ice Heart Art" obtained together with the Six Art of Ao Han, although its main function is to suppress the inner demons and it cannot cultivate the soul, it does have a certain effect in self-cultivation and restoring the spirit.
During passive recovery, by meditating and silently practicing the Ice Heart Technique, the speed of mental recovery can barely catch up with the recovery of qi and blood.
Rest for a night.
Ni Kun stood up, walked out of the secret room, came to the first floor of the small building, opened the window, and a fresh cool breeze blew in his face, and the outside was suddenly white.
Before I knew it, there was a heavy snow last night. When the snow stopped in the early morning, the mountains and the land were all dyed white.
While enjoying the snow scene, a snowball came from the side with a whoosh, flew into the window and hit Ni Kun directly.
Ni Kun raised his eyebrows, and a line of fire shot out from his pupils, vaporizing the snowball with a puff.
It has been more than two months since Ni Kun acquired the flame bloodline, and he has already been able to use it skillfully. The flame can be emitted from any part of the body, and can be fired at the thought of anything. It never misses an target within three feet.
Of course, due to the limited strength of his flame bloodline, he cannot turn into a fireman like the Fantastic Four's Human Torch, where his entire body can catch fire. It's just that any part of his body can catch fire at will.
After putting out the snowball, Ni Kun looked over and saw Kanan wearing a white dress, a snow-white fox fur coat, and a pair of delicate bare feet, standing in the snow. Where she stepped, the soft snow only sank a little, with most of her feet outside the snow.
She put her hands behind her back, tilted her head and looked at Ni Kun, grinning:
"Sir, let's have a snowball fight!"
As he finished speaking, he swung his right hand behind his back and another snowball whizzed towards him.
"Naughty."
Ni Kun chuckled, and when the snowball flew in front of him, he pointed his finger, and a line of fire shot out, vaporizing the snowball instantly.
Then he pressed the window frame with one hand, jumped out of the window, landed on the snow, leaned over, made a snowball the size of a bowl, and threw it at Kanan.
Soon, the two young men and women were chasing each other and playing snowball fights in the manor. The sky above the manor was filled with the clear and cheerful laughter of the lark.
Two days later, Ni Kun, who was alone in a foreign land, spent his first New Year's Eve since he came into this world with Zhu Yuyan, Kan Kan and Wen Caiting.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, according to custom, Ni Kun, as the host, should give red envelopes to Zhu Yuyan, Kan Kan, and Wen Caiting as a reward for their diligent service.
But the problem is that Ni Kun is now living a life of luxury. All his food, clothing, housing, transportation and cultivation expenses are funded by the resources of the Yingui Sect. He himself is penniless and extremely poor. Where does he get the money to give them red envelopes?
So he took out three hibiscus branches and said to Zhu Yuyan, Qianqian and Wen Caiting with a calm smile:
"I am very poor, and everyone knows this. I cannot afford to give you red envelopes during the New Year. I can only give you flowers as a token of my appreciation."
After saying this, he held three hibiscus branches and silently circulated his wood spirit bloodline.
Soon, the three dead branches sprouted new buds, stretched out green leaves, and grew flower buds.
The flower buds swelled rapidly again, blooming layer by layer, turning into gorgeous pink hibiscus flowers.
Although Ni Kun had demonstrated his magical skills in front of them more than once, this "magic technique" of making dead trees revive and flowers bloom still made Zhu Yuyan, Kan Kan, and Wen Caiting stare at it and hold their breath involuntarily.
"Yuyan, this is yours. Thank you for taking care of me for the past two months and for running around to get me some spiritual medicine for my body. Thank you for your hard work."
Ni Kun smiled and handed a hibiscus flower to Zhu Yuyan.
Zhu Yuyan pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Thank you, sir."
"Xianxian, you are not bad either. This is for you."
Xianxian pouted and muttered:
"Humph, you praise the master so much, but only say 'you are not bad' to Qian'er. How biased!"
Having said that, she still happily took the branch and couldn't let it go and played with it.
"Cai Ting, you have served me wholeheartedly, this is yours."
Wen Caiting took the flower branch and said in a charming voice:
"In fact, I can do more. I will never lose to Senior Sister."
Ni Kun laughed:
"Well, we'll talk about it later. Well, it's getting late, everyone go and get some rest.
"Yuyan, come with me. I have some training matters that I want to discuss with you."
After saying that, he left the dining room first.
Zhu Yuyan glanced at Wen Caiting with a smile, gave her a look that said "Junior sister, you are still a little young", and quickly caught up with Ni Kun.
