After I cultivated immortality, I discussed the theory of lifespan with a long-lived spirit.

Chapter 11 Practicing Flying Sword Technique

Lin Er didn't practice in the tavern, as the environment was too cramped and it wasn't suitable to disturb the neighbors late at night.

He fell asleep quickly.

The next day, Lin Er woke up hungry.

Yesterday I was so focused on my cultivation that I got too excited and didn't even eat. Now my stomach is growling loudly, and I feel really uncomfortable.

"It's a pity that you can only practice Bigu (grain-refining) after you've reached the Foundation Establishment

Lin Er tidied up and went downstairs to buy food.

Now that he had some spare money, he decided to treat himself better. This body was still young and in the prime of its growth; only with sufficient nutrition could he cultivate better.

He ordered a fried bacon set meal, and after tasting it, his tense brows finally relaxed.

Finally, I got a meal that was at least somewhat decent.

But it cost 3 wheat coins, and if you eat this every meal, it will cost a lot of money every month.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Er got up and headed outside the city, finding a secluded forest.

He didn't want anyone to see him practicing flying sword techniques. Such techniques, which were different from the power system of this world, should be practiced in a way that was not visible to others.

After all, the system had warned him in advance that he was an "evil cultivator" in this world.

After practicing the technique, Lin Er's senses are now very strong; his perception is extremely clear within a radius of several meters.

After confirming that there was no one around, not even birds, he took out his bamboo sword.

He infused the bamboo sword with a faint trace of spiritual energy, and the bamboo sword floated in mid-air.

"My control over spiritual energy seems to have become more refined."

Lin Er was certain that he had never been this relaxed when controlling the flying sword before.

This is the advantage of practicing orthodox martial arts; unorthodox methods are not very effective.

He maneuvered his flying sword and tried again to carve words on the tree trunk.

Although the spiritual energy has increased this time, it is still within an acceptable range.

Lin Er concentrated and carved a character with his bamboo sword, crooked and very rough.

He was actually quite pleased, so he erased the original writing and carved a new character.

After repeating this process several times, he became more and more adept at it.

Although the characters carved by the flying sword were still very rough, the lines became smoother and smoother, and the consumption of spiritual energy did not increase significantly.

After practicing the refined movements, Lin Er began practicing precise slashes.

His gaze fell upon the falling leaves, his eyes turned cold, and his bamboo sword shot out swiftly, transforming into a streak of green light as he slashed away.

In an instant, the fallen leaf was cut in half.

"I'm still a bit unfamiliar with it."

Lin Er saw the two halves of the fallen leaf, one large and one small, but he shook his head. He had meant to cut it in the middle, but he had cut it crookedly.

If the enemy is a clumsy creature like the Earth Armor Bear, this swordsmanship will naturally be fine.

However, if they encounter an agile enemy, the opponent is likely to dodge.

Lin Er focused his attention and continued practicing.

I practiced for another half hour.

Lin Er stopped. He had wanted to continue practicing, but he had to stop.

Although Lin Er injected only a trace of spiritual energy, which was extremely weak, it could not withstand such consumption. Half of the spiritual energy in his dantian was almost depleted.

Such lavish use of spiritual energy in practice still leads to rapid progress.

His stable control over the flying sword has increased the attack range to within a 6-meter radius, greatly improving the accuracy of his strikes, while the consumption of spiritual energy has not increased much.

If Lin Er were to encounter the Earth Bear again, he believed he could preserve its fur intact this time.

He put away his bamboo sword and, as a second choice, began practicing swordsmanship.

This sword technique is called the Pure Yang Sword Technique. It is an accessory to the Flying Sword Technique and is used to assist the Flying Sword Technique and enhance sword intent. Its main means of combat still relies on the Flying Sword Technique.

"I'm still a beginner. I've never touched a sword before, so it's really necessary for me to learn a set of sword techniques."

Lin Er practiced with a bamboo sword, demonstrating the routines of swordsmanship.

He clearly remembered that he had never practiced swordsmanship before, yet he could execute sword techniques very smoothly.

It's like after the college entrance exam, when you go back to do elementary and middle school problems, they become easier and easier, it's like a complete game of cat and mouse.

Compared to the difficult flying sword technique, the Pure Yang Sword Technique is easier to learn.

Lin Er couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing he had suddenly found his comfort zone.

The more he practiced, the faster he found himself improving. He practiced all morning, and even under the blazing sun, he didn't feel satisfied.

"I still need to cultivate this afternoon, so I'll head back now."

Lin Er picked up his sword and returned to Blackrock City. After a simple lunch, he went back to his room to sit cross-legged and continue refining the demon core in his belly.

The day passed quickly.

……

When Lin Er woke up in the morning, he originally wanted to find a place to continue practicing his sword.

He suddenly remembered his promise to Ellie and had no choice but to give up.

Lin Er didn't eat breakfast. After getting ready, he went straight to the Adventurers' Guild.

Before he even reached the Adventurers' Guild, he spotted Ellie in the distance.

This time, Ellie stood at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor. She had changed into a dress, and her appearance was different from her previous dowdy look.

Lin Er couldn't help but take a few more glances. Ellie had her brown hair styled in a bun, wearing a light green fitted top and a loose long skirt, with a white silk shawl draped over her shoulders.

She wore a pink flower in her hair, which made her look very cute.

Lin Er had thought it was just an ordinary dinner party, but he was flattered to see Ellie dressed so elegantly.

Ellie also saw Lin Er.

She noticed that Lin Er's temperament, while reserved, had gained a touch of composure and sharpness.

The passersby around her kept glancing at her, their attention focused on her exquisite attire, completely ignoring Lin Er.

That's incredibly superficial; the treasure is right in front of us, yet we can't recognize it.

Ellie's thoughts grew stronger, and she smiled as she came over to greet them:

"Lord Lin'er, you've arrived."

Lin Er nodded in response, saying, "I'm a little late. You shouldn't have been waiting long, right?"

Ellie shook her head and replied, "I just arrived."

In fact, she got up before dawn and arrived a full half hour early.

Lin Er glanced at Ellie suspiciously, but didn't delve into it further, asking, "Where are we going now?"

Ellie replied, "Lord Lin'er, please come with me. I know a restaurant that has very delicious food."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Lin Er. She had wanted to take his arm, but when he didn't respond, she felt a little disappointed.

However, Ellie did not lose heart. She maintained her confidence and smile, leading Lin Er forward.

The two of them arrived at the restaurant near the Adventurers' Guild, close to the City Hall.

This restaurant is called Rose Restaurant, and its decor is much more luxurious than Broken Sword Tavern.

They were led to the VIP room they had booked in advance by the waiter.

Lin Er was unfamiliar with the restaurant and had no idea about the food in Blackrock City, so he left the ordering to Ellie.

After Ellie placed her order, she said, "Lord Lin'er, you are now a Bronze-level adventurer, and there are some things I want to tell you."

Lin Er also adopted a serious expression and said, "Please speak."

Ellie continued, "Actually, the competition for bounties among our guild's adventurers is very fierce, especially for the good ones, which often attract several teams of adventurers to compete for. I suggest you join a team."

Lin Er wasn't in a hurry about this, and he didn't care much about the reward for the bounty, as long as he could trigger the system task.

Just then, the waiter arrived, bringing out steak and vegetables, topped with a rich gravy that wafted out a fragrant aroma.

Without saying a word, Lin Er started eating.

Ellie couldn't quite figure out what Lin Er was thinking, seeing that he didn't seem to care about the matter at all.

She then cut to the chase, saying, "Lord Lin'er, don't you want to resolve this matter?"

Lin Erdao: "Do you have a way?"

Ellie replied softly, "Actually, within my authority, I can help you intercept one or two of the better bounties in advance."

Does Ellie really have that much power?

Lin Er paused slightly, then asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

He didn't quite believe that Ellie would help him for free.

Ellie blushed slightly and said, "Lord Lin'er, in exchange, would you accompany me on a date?"

Lin Er was somewhat surprised and asked, "Just a date?"

Ellie lowered her head shyly, avoiding his eyes, and replied, "It's just a date."

When Lin Er saw Ellie suddenly blush, he realized what she meant.

Actually, Ellie wasn't bad-looking either, and she was about the same age as him. In the past, he would never have refused her.

However, he now prefers cultivating immortality.

Women will only slow down your sword-drawing speed.

After careful consideration, Lin Er said, "Miss Ellie, I'm sorry, I'm too young right now and don't want to be in a relationship."
