102: Second-level Xuanyin Stone
"Alright, Sanren Bai..."
Han Yi thought for a long time, looked at the anticipation on Bai Sanren's face, and finally agreed.
'Bai Family Swordplay', I'll practice it and see. As long as I can get started, if it's really not working, I'll just use the System to add points and push it up!
"Good, good, good!"
Bai Sanren was overjoyed and ecstatic.
He quickly said, "Han Boy, I see that your usual training focuses only on your fists, arms, and upper body. But Bai Family Swordplay requires comprehensive training of hands, eyes, body, technique, and steps. It also requires training specific power-generating parts of the body. We will start with the basics tomorrow. In addition..."
Bai Sanren requested that Han Yi spend half a day practicing with him every day during this period.
Not only that, but the daily cultivation resources for this period would also be provided by Bai Sanren...
Although the conditions provided by Bai Sanren were excellent, Han Yi always felt something was off...
He always felt like he was being kept...
But aren't people usually kept by rich women? How did it turn into being kept by an old man for me...
Forget it, forget it. Old men are good, old men have basic living allowances!
However, when Han Yi heard Bai Sanren say that the Medicinal Pills and resources used for cultivation would also be provided without limit, the slight feeling of unease in his heart instantly vanished.
"Sanren Bai, shall we start now?"
Han Yi shamelessly took out a few packets of medicine from hisArms.
"Sanren Bai, these are tonics I just bought. You should quickly nourish your body. Let's hurry up and Cultivate..."
"Scram!"
"Get up early tomorrow!"
Bai Sanren scolded with a smile and kicked Han Yi.
On the bed, Han Yi played with the Tier 2 xuan yin stone in his hand. This xuan yin stone was obtained from the Hungry Tiger, and since he killed the Hungry Tiger almost entirely by himself, it naturally belonged to Han Yi.
Absorb!
He silently chanted, and a faint black light floated from the xuan yin stone in his hand. The familiar cool sensation spread from his hand throughout his body.
Swish, swish
Han Yi slightly opened his hand, and the xuan yin stone turned into fine powder and fell under the bed.
Panel!

"Good!"
Han Yi's mouth was almost crooked from smiling. Now, no matter how difficult Bai Family Swordplay was to learn, he was confident that he could Cultivate it to Great Accomplishment!
More than eighty points of Elemental Energy value, when did the Bull Grandpas ever fight such a rich battle!
Han Yi fell asleep contentedly, feeling much more at ease in his heart.
——————————————
Thump, thump, thump
In the early morning, just as the sky was faintly brightening and the sun had not yet risen, Han Yi was awakened by a knocking sound.
"Han Boy, get up!"
Bai Sanren was shouting at the door with full vigor early in the morning.
"Coming, coming..."
"Exhale like a heavy mountain, gather energy to flow in all directions..."
Under the blazing sun, Bai Sanren lay on a lounge chair in the shade of the eaves, cracking melon seeds while teaching Han Yi the incantation.
"Your power-generating posture here is wrong. As a martial artist, you must push blood with qi and carry qi with blood..."
From time to time, he would leisurely get down from the lounge chair and personally correct Han Yi's movement posture.
"Your body should be curled up. Your chest and abdomen should breathe as much as possible, allowing this qi to gather in your body. Then, when you exhale, it is the release of power. Only then will the force be great..."
Qian Xue, who was next to him, was perched on the window lattice, her little head nodding from time to time, as if listening very seriously, but her pair of eyes, like flowing water, would occasionally glance at Han Yi.
Today, she was wearing a light green fine silk satin dress, with her hair tied up in a small bun, just like a little maid. Whatever Bai Sanren and Han Yi needed, she would appear and help in time.
"Grandpa Bai, I say, can't you pay attention to your image when you're eating?"
Qian Xue pointed to the melon seed shells on the right side of Bai Sanren's chin, on his beard.
"Xiao Qian Xue, don't disturb my teaching!"
"Hmph! Annoying old man, he's getting anxious..."
Qian Xue ran to the corner of the courtyard and, from a distance, made a face at Bai Sanren.
The atmosphere in the courtyard became lively again...
Time flew by like a white horse passing a gap, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
These past few days, Han Yi and the others had not gone out to perform Bureau of Unusual Matters tasks again.
The first reason was that Han Yi currently had enough Elemental Energy value and there was no need to go out. He needed time to improve his strength.
The second reason was that Bai Sanren's body had just suffered from Yin energy entering it and also needed a few days to recover.
So, Han Yi cultivated Bai Family Swordplay under Bai Sanren's guidance.
"Pierce, hang, wipe, smear, circle, entwine, twist, slice, slash, block, parry, chop, cut, hack..."
This day, it was still early morning, and Bai Sanren's voice was still full of vigor, but a hint of confusion could be heard from it.
"Han Boy clearly comprehended Sword Intent, so why hasn't Bai Family Swordplay been mastered in five days..."
He muttered to himself.
A few days ago, when Bai Sanren discovered that Han Yi seemed to have comprehended 'Sword Intent', he was extremely excited. However, the happy state didn't last long and gradually faded away.
Because on the first day of teaching, he discovered that Han Yi seemed to be completely ignorant of sword techniques and needed him to teach everything from scratch...
That would have been fine, but Han Yi's performance didn't resemble that of a Genius who had comprehended 'Sword Intent'...
Like Bai Sanren himself, he mastered Bai Family Swordplay in one day. The 'sword technique geniuses' he had found before took at most three days to master it.
But with Han Yi, it had been a full five days, and he hadn't even crossed the threshold of mastering 'Bai Family Swordplay'...
Although sword techniques are difficult to learn and master, the requirement for mastering them isn't this high...
Could it be that after I was injured, my mind was unsettled, and my teaching ability greatly decreased?
Or did I misjudge, and this Han Yi kid doesn't have talent in the way of the sword, and the 'Sword Intent' Realm he displayed was just a coincidence and a fluke?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. This Han Yi kid must be a peerless Genius, deliberately hiding his abilities to see if I have the ability to teach him!
