Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Learning Sword_1 Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Learning Sword_1 The Danxia Sect, as a sect that prospered through alchemy, was extrely rich in Spirit Grass and Spiritual dicine, and they managed to gather all the ingredients needed for the Foundation Building Pill the next day.
Seeing this, Greg couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion. What he had struggled so hard to collect, they had found so quickly, and even prepared several sets.
Such a large sect with thousands of years of inheritance indeed deserved respect.
After gathering the Spirit Grass and Spiritual dicine, Gavin summoned several elders together and began to refine the Foundation Building Pill.
Gavin and the others were already experts in alchemy, and with Greg, an experienced adviser by their side, they succeeded on their first attempt at the Foundation Building Pill.
Looking at the fragrant Foundation Building Pill, Gavin and the others were so happy they couldn’t stop smiling.
It was only one pill, but it was still a success.
They had thought the subsequent alchemy would go smoothly, but reality dealt them a hard blow.
The next three batches of pills all failed, and it wasn’t until the fifth attempt that they succeeded in making another batch.
Five sets of Spirit Grass were used up, yet they had only managed to produce two Foundation Building Pills.
However, for the Danxia Sect, which was eager to see another Foundation Establishnt True Person rise, this was already a stroke of trendous luck.
Gavin didn’t need any comforting from Greg; instead, he bowed deeply to him.
“Hey, Sect Leader Gavin, what are you doing?” Greg quickly helped him up.
Gavin said solemnly, “Xu my friend, this bow is well deserved.”
Greg laughed, “The Foundation Building Pill is what you obtained through an exchange; there’s no need to be so polite. The matters ahead will still require Sect Leader Gavin’s effort.”
Gavin Ward smiled bitterly, “Xu my friend, I know very well that a favor doesn’t compare to the value of a Foundation Building Pill. This ti, it’s our Danxia Sect that has gained the upper hand.”
“Haha, Sect Leader Gavin, you exaggerate.”
Greg laughed, “To , the Foundation Building Pill is just an object, not so precious.”
“That’s not the way to put it, if the Elixir Prescription were to leak out, I’m afraid it would imdiately cause a bloodbath.”
“You understand, then. I was worried you all couldn’t keep the secret.”
Gavin imdiately said, “Xu my friend, rest assured, even if this matter does eventually leak out, others will definitely not be able to trace it back to you.”
“Haha, then let thank Sect Leader Gavin in advance for covering for .”
“It’s the least I can do, the least I can do.”
Luis spoke up, “Xu my friend, shall I start teaching you swordsmanship this afternoon?”
Greg’s eyes lit up, and he agreed happily, “Yes, please. Just know that I am a slow learner, so I’ll be counting on a lot of patience from you, friend Luis.”
“Certainly.”
Luis didn’t mind and readily agreed, but it was only a few hours later that she realized what Greg ant by “slow learner.”
“To be able to execute it to this extent after only watching once, you call this being slow?”
Teresa was also stunned.
The basic sword technique that her master taught Greg, she herself had also learned, and it had taken her over a month of practice to fully grasp it.
Even so, she was not as fluid as Greg.
“If only I had such insight…”
Envy filled Teresa’s usually cool expression.
Luis nodded in approval and said, “Xu my friend, your insight and talent are indeed top-notch.”
Greg was also pleased with his learning progress and asked with a smile, “Then, when can I start to comprehend Sword Intent?”
Luis smiled wryly, “Sword Intent is not so easy to grasp; at the very least, one must practice a set of sword techniques until they beco as simple as drinking and eating before it’s possible.”
“Sword Intent is, plain and simple, a person’s understanding of a set of sword techniques, and the physical manifestation of all the thoughts expressed by those techniques,”
“What should I do then?” Greg Jensen asked.
“This…”
Luis Cotes said helplessly, “I can’t clearly articulate how exactly to do it, I can only tell you about the feeling I had when I comprehended Sword Intent.”
Greg Jensen also knew that Sword Intent was sothing to be intuited rather than verbally transmitted, so he said, “Okay, thanks, friend Luis.”
Luis Cotes nodded, pondered for a mont, and then said, “Ever since I received the legacy of the Taibai Sword Immortal, I’ve practiced the sword nearly a hundred tis every day.
At the beginning, I practiced the entire set of sword techniques, but later, I practiced only one strike.”
“One strike?”
“Yes, exactly the one strike you’re thinking of.”
Luis Cotes, seemingly not very good at communicating, gestured awkwardly and said, “It’s the simplest thrust.”
Greg Jensen nodded thoughtfully.
Luis Cotes continued, “Because I believe that to kill soone, one strike is enough; there’s no need to be bound by techniques.
As long as my sword is accurate and fast enough, one strike can kill the opponent. Why bother with so many techniques?”
Greg Jensen’s eyes lit up.
“After that, I spent every day pondering over how to execute this thrust, from which angle to execute it.
Thinking about it while eating and sleeping, and still thinking about it when walking and practicing the sword. I thought about it for who knows how long until one day, I found I didn’t have to think anymore.
Because, whatever the technique, it appeared to as one strike.”
Luis Cotes showed a smug expression, “The fastest, most accurate strike.”
Upon hearing this, Greg Jensen couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
Luis Cotes and Teresa Cotes saw that he was silent, understanding he was pondering, so they did not disturb him and continued to drink their tea on their own.
After a while, Greg Jensen suddenly looked up and said, “Do you an to treat all techniques as one?”
“Exactly, that’s the idea,”
Luis Cotes showed an expression of satisfaction and said, “rge thousands of swords into one, that’s the way!”
Greg Jensen nodded, grasping the aning of what Luis Cotes had said.
Her point was simple: the fundantal intent of all sword techniques is the sa—to kill the opponent.
The difference lies in the fact that so sword techniques pursue greater speed and accuracy, while others seek variety and unpredictability.
But no matter what, the philosophies behind each set of sword techniques are the sa. By comprehending the fundantal philosophy of the sword techniques, one can freely adapt and change the moves.
At this point, the sword wielder reaches the highest realm of swordsmanship—victory without moves.
And this philosophy is the so-called Sword Intent!
Among all the combative thods Greg Jensen had learned, Limitless Sword Aura was the most powerful technique. Although it was not considered swordsmanship by sword cultivators, it was not far removed.
If he could comprehend his own Sword Intent on top of Limitless Sword Aura, Greg Jensen’s combat power would surely increase significantly.
But what exactly is the Sword Intent within Limitless Sword Aura?
Greg Jensen fell into deep thought once more, remaining motionless for a long ti.
As the sun set in the west, he stood in the pavilion like a wooden stake, unaware that the evening glow had dyed him red, seemingly caught in so strange state.
Ti passed without knowing how long, and when he looked up again, he found that the pavilion was full of people. Gavin Ward, Dwayne Law, and Old Huang Six had all arrived.
He was sowhat puzzled and asked in surprise, “Why are you all here?”
