Flocks of seagulls flew across the sky, making high-pitched and loud calls.

The merchant ship rides the wind and waves, and the waves crash on the bow of the ship, rolling up thousands of piles of snow and making a beeping sound.

At the rear of the fleet, nine long rolling silver ribbons were dragged out of the blue sea.

What a beautiful sight, if it wasn't like this every day.

This is already the eleventh day of the merchant ship's voyage, and less than one-third of the journey has been completed.

There was a knock on the door of the cabin where Lu Qingshan was located.

"Come in." Lu Qingshan responded.

An old man in his forties or fifties came in, carrying a food box in his hand.

This person was transferred from the ship and was specifically responsible for delivering meals to Lu Qingshan, a big customer.

"Mr. Lu, this is today's lunch." The old man greeted.

Lu Qingshan nodded and signaled. The old man put down the food box and withdrew knowingly.

"Alas" After the old man left, King Xishu who stayed on Lu Qingshan's bed sighed feebly.

Lu Qingshan said in a pinch, "What's wrong? Aren't you always greedy? Why are you still whining and sighing when it's time to eat?"

The Western Rat King rolled his eyes, sniffed, and muttered, "Steamed baby squid, steamed snails, steamed silver pomfret, steamed catfish, steamed"

"As soon as I smelled it, I knew it was these things. I have been eating them back and forth since I got on the boat. They are all steamed, and my mouth feels like a bird."

It’s not surprising that seafood is the most common staple food at sea, and due to the expensive seasonings, steaming has naturally become the preferred cooking method for shipboard chefs.

Lu Qingshan didn't tease King Xishu much. After a few words, he held the jade slip and sat down at the table quickly.

King Xishu glanced at Lu Qingshan, who was addicted to the jade slips, with great resentment, and muttered, "I have nothing to do on the boat every day, and I am almost bored to death. It would be better for you to enjoy it while holding a jade slip."

In fact, monsters also need to be cultivated. However, although Lu Qingshan wanted to find a technique for King Xishu, the technique for cultivating monsters is not so easy to obtain. So far, he has not gained anything.

This has also led to the fact that King West Rat has so far relied solely on the awakening of his own bloodline to increase his strength.

In layman's terms, they are the second generation of demons.

It cannot practice cultivation and hates water by nature. Now it is trapped on a boat with nowhere to go. It is strange that it is not bored.

Lu Qingshan was very happy when he heard this. He shook the jade slip in his hand towards King Xishu and said jokingly, "As the saying goes, reading thousands of books means traveling thousands of miles. If you have nothing to do in your spare time, you can read books."

Look at you, your appearance does look a bit strange now, but it's just your temperament that makes it a bit off.

You have a lot of poetry and calligraphy in your belly. You can read more books and make up for this. When I saw it, no one would object even if I said you were a spiritual beast."

Hearing what Lu Qingshan said, King Xishu immediately jumped up in anger and exclaimed, "What's wrong with my temperament? Isn't it that I am not powerful?"

Spiritual beasts, hum, Lord Rat doesn’t care, just take him as whoever you want, I won’t bullshit with you anymore, I’ll go out for a walk.”

King Xishu flashed, turned into a gray shadow, and left the cabin.

As soon as he came out of the cabin, King Xishu's pupils immediately flashed with a strange light, and he thought thoughtfully, "Spirit beast? Is what Lu Qingshan said about reading more really useful?"

Obviously, King Xishu was just a stubborn duck in front of Lu Qingshan.

In fact, not only is it not as dismissive of the title of spiritual beast as it appears on the surface, it even harbors some longing for it.

"But the problem is, I don't know human writing." Thinking of this, King Xishu felt a little distressed.

Seeing King Xishu leave, Lu Qingshan didn't say much.

Although the West Rat King has no means of attack, his ability to protect himself is still very strong due to his own talent, so there is nothing to worry about.

Shaking his head, Lu Qingshan's mind was immersed in the jade slip in his hand.

Sword Qi Zhenjie, this is the jade slip in his hand, and it is also the second jade slip in the storage bag.

This jade slip was not a reward from Zhishou Lou, but was a gift from Tantai Qingrun to Lu Qingshan who had compiled his own experience and understanding of the condensation and firing of sword energy.

Sword Qi is not a spell, it is just an advanced way of using spiritual power that is exclusive to sword cultivators.

Sword cultivators mobilize spiritual power on the sword, and use unique techniques to convert it into a more solid, more powerful special spiritual power that is equipped with the sharpness of the sword and other characteristics.

After a swordsman masters the technique of condensing and firing sword energy, his close combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

In order to stimulate the sword energy, sword cultivators need to make countless attempts and continue to explore.

As a Jindan sword cultivator, Tantai Qingrun's understanding of sword energy can undoubtedly help Lu Qingshan avoid many detours.

The most important thing is that the cultivation of Five Elements Sword Armor requires sword cultivators to master the skill of sword energy.

Unlike sword skills that require both enlightenment and practice, sword energy only requires one word of enlightenment to trigger.

It just so happens that for Lu Qingshan, "enlightenment" in kendo is as easy and natural as eating and drinking.

On just the fourth day at sea, he was able to summon a sword energy through his peach wood sword.

In order to ensure that the sword armor can be bent and extended as easily as an arm, the most common and effective method is to use the sword energy generated by the natal sword to refine the sword armor.

However, Lu Qingshan did not have a natal sword at this time, and the sword energy stimulated by other swords could not be as close to his own body as the natal sword, so it was flawed to use it to practice Five Elements Sword Armor.

There is no solution.

Lu Qingshan stretched out his palm, and a wisp of invisible gray-white air blade appeared at the tip of his index finger. It flickered on and off for a few times, and finally dissipated into the air.

Although it has been able to solidify, it still cannot maintain its formed state.

Lu Qingshan felt not very satisfied.

This is the sword energy condensed out of thin air without relying on sword weapons.

Although there is a gap in power between the sword energy activated through the natal sword, because it is the sword energy condensed with the body sword, it is completely feasible to be used to refine the Five Elements Sword Armor.

The problem is that it is many times more difficult to condense sword energy out of thin air than to generate sword energy through the help of sword weapons.

Even with Lu Qingshan's understanding, he has been stuck at this step for nearly a week.

But if other sword cultivators knew that Lu Qingshan was making such progress in exploring sword energy skills, they would definitely be jealous to the point of jealousy.

For ordinary sword cultivators, even if Tantai Qingrun teaches him the skills of firing sword energy, a fast person will need one or two years of continuous practice before he can successfully activate the first sword energy.

Those who are slow will have to grind for seven or eight years, and even dull swordsmen who have been stuck at this step for decades are not without them.

Although talent is extremely important in cultivation, there is no limit to the path that one can take. Monks may not be able to overcome the hurdles of talent through hard work and opportunities, and become powerful monks as mortals.

But swordsmanship is different, swordsmanship is extremely cruel.

Sword cultivation is the only cultivation system among the six cultivations. Without absolute talent, you will definitely not be able to continue.

Because, if you are born unable to use some swords, you will never be able to use them in this life.
