Chapter 114 Help her fulfill this wish
Li Zimo stood quietly in the stone chamber, recalling every word on the jade slip with deep eyes, as if he could penetrate the long river of time and feel Hua Yingxue's deep affection that transcended life and death.
His eyes gradually changed from initial surprise to deep thought, and a complex smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"What an admirable woman. What a shame."
Li Zimo whispered to himself, with a hint of subtle emotion in his voice.
But he was a time traveler after all, and he had seen too many joys and sorrows, and bloody plots in his previous life, so he just sighed.
Li Zimo turned around gently, his eyes falling on Chu Mengyao and Su Qing, who were still immersed in the sadness of Hua Yingxue's story.
There were tears in their eyes, as if they were still touched by that deep affection.
He walked slowly towards them, stretched out his arms, and gently embraced them.
Chu Mengyao and Su Qing felt this sudden warmth and naturally put their arms around Li Zimo's waist, resting their faces on his chest, looking for comfort and support.
"Let's help her fulfill this wish together."
Li Zimo spoke gently, his voice soft but full of power, as if it could melt all the sorrow.
His words were like a ray of warm sunshine, penetrating the haze in Chu Mengyao and Su Qing's hearts.
Upon hearing this, Chu Mengyao and Su Qing looked up at Li Zimo, with gratitude and trust in their eyes.
They knew that with Li Zimo around, they were no longer alone or helpless.
"Well, we need to find Elder Mo Lanxin and tell her everything."
Chu Mengyao nodded vigorously. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Although her voice was a little choked, her determination was moving.
She knew very well that this was their best consolation to Senior Hua Yingxue.
"That's right. We must also protect this cave and prevent it from being damaged."
Su Qing took over the conversation, her eyes flashing with determination, which was a kind of adherence to the promise and expectation for the future.
She understood that this cave was not only the resting place of Senior Hua Yingxue, but also a witness to the shared memories of the three of them.
Li Zimo looked at the two sentimental women in front of him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He secretly made up his mind to help Chu Mengyao and Su Qing find Elder Mo Lanxin faster and properly handle Hua Yingxue's funeral.
After a long time, the three of them separated and looked at the remaining four jade slips.
These four jade slips each record a mid-level earth-level skill or martial art.
Earth-level mid-grade technique: "Frost Condensation Essence Technique"
Introduction to the exercises:
The "Frost Condensation Essence Technique" is a mid-grade, Earth-level technique focused on refining internal energy and controlling the elements. This technique channels the practitioner's spiritual energy, simulating the condensation and release of frost in nature, thereby strengthening the body and increasing the purity and power of spiritual energy. Upon mastery, one can unleash the frost power of heaven and earth, plunging the opponent into an icy, despairing state.
Earth-level mid-grade technique: "Harmony and Twins"
Introduction to the exercises:
The "Harmonious Twins Secret" is a mid-grade, earth-level dual cultivation technique focused on harmonious coexistence and mutual promotion. During joint practice, practitioners are able to draw upon each other's spiritual energy, allowing it to flow freely within both bodies. This flow not only enhances both practitioners' cultivation but, more importantly, penetrates deeply into the body, uncovering and refining hidden impurities and toxins, thereby purifying the body and strengthening its constitution.
Earth-level mid-grade swordsmanship: "Falling Snow Sword"
Martial Arts Introduction:
"Falling Snow, No Trace Sword" is a sword technique renowned for its lightness and elegance. Its moves resemble falling snowflakes on a winter's day: light and silent, yet imbued with an endless edge and chill. Practitioners must master the subtlety and precision of the sword's intent to decapitate their foes in an instant.
Earth-level mid-grade swordsmanship: "Frost Moon Slash"
Martial Arts Introduction:
Frost Moon Slash is a sword technique that emphasizes speed and continuity. Practitioners harness the frost energy condensed by the Frost Condensation Essence Technique to enhance the power and speed of their sword moves, creating a series of attacks as cold and swift as the frosty moon. This technique is ideal for quickly suppressing opponents and seizing the initiative in battle.
Earth-level mid-grade martial arts technique: "Flowing Cloud Chasing Wind Step"
Introduction to the exercises:
Flowing Cloud Chasing Wind Step is a mid-grade Earth-level martial art renowned for its lightness and swiftness. This technique mimics the movements of flowing clouds, incorporating the essence of wind, allowing the practitioner to move and leap like a moving cloud, chasing the wind and shadows in an elusive manner. It not only greatly enhances the practitioner's speed and agility, but also offers unparalleled advantages in dodging and surprise attacks.
Although what was placed before them was a precious mid-grade earth-level martial arts technique, which was a treasure that any warrior dreamed of, Chu Mengyao and Su Qing were still immersed in the afterglow of Hua Yingxue's story and found it difficult to fully cheer up.
The glimmering light on these jade slips seemed to carry a hint of sadness in their eyes.
Seeing this, Li Zimo sighed softly. He understood the feelings of the two sentimental women at the moment.
He put down the jade slip in his hand, walked over to the two of them, and said gently:
"Although we are saddened by Senior Hua Yingxue's passing, this is also her motivation for us to keep moving forward and become even stronger. These martial arts techniques are another form of legacy she left us."
Chu Mengyao looked up at Li Zimo, a glimmer of understanding in her eyes.
She nodded, trying to calm herself down.
"Zimo, you're right. We can't keep dwelling on our sorrow. Senior Hua Yingxue's story should inspire us, making us stronger and more able to protect those who need it."
Su Qing also sniffed hard and tried to force a smile.
"That's right, we must transform this sadness into strength. These skills and martial arts are the steps for us to become stronger."
The three of them once again concentrated on studying these jade slips.
Li Zimo first selected a mid-level earth-level martial art, "The Art of Harmony and Twins", and studied it carefully, preparing to learn it and teach it to the women in his family.
Chu Mengyao and Su Qing also each chose the skills or martial arts that they were interested in and looked them up. Although they still had sadness in their hearts that was hard to let go, they both tried their best to focus on the path of cultivation in front of them.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the cave gradually became solemn and focused.
After the three of them had read all the martial arts techniques, they immersed themselves in their own world of cultivation, occasionally looking up to exchange their experiences or answer each other's questions.
When Li Zimo realized that it was getting late outside, he gently put down the technique in his hand and said softly to Chu Mengyao and Qing'er:
"Mengyao, Qing'er, it's getting late, we should go to bed."
