The Master Still Wants to Look for How Long? (Two-in-One)
"Huh? Where is this?"
Jiang Lin slowly opened his eyes. Before him stretched an endless expanse of glaciers and snowfields, with heavy snow falling from the sky, making even breathing painful.
"Am I at the North or South Poles?! No... I've time-traveled... So I'm in the Extremely Cold Continent?"
Jiang Lin shuddered and took a step forward before noticing a woman in a snow-white long dress not far away.
The woman had long, snow-white hair, just like Bai Jiu Yi's.
Her skin was even whiter than snow, without a single blemish, as if she had blended into the icy world.
Honestly, Jiang Lin felt that this girl looked like she was wearing a ghillie suit.
But what exactly happened?
I remember standing on a rock about a hundred meters away from the waterfall, and then connecting my mind with First Snow, trying to unleash First Snow's sword energy as usual.
But something unexpected seemed to have happened. Instead of unleashing First Snow First Snow's sword energy, it entered his own body. Instinctively, he didn't stop it.
And then I woke up like this.
Without even a second thought, this must be an illusion. After all, how could I possibly wake up in this glacial world that resembles the North and South Poles?
"Etc!"
If this is an illusion, then this illusion was caused by the First Snow, which means...
Jiang Lin's eyes lit up when he saw the woman sitting on the snow in the distance, and there was even a hint of lewdness in them.
Hmm... Could this girl be my Sword Spirit, First Snow?
Wait a minute! It looks really pretty!
Suddenly, Jiang Lin felt himself shaking even more violently.
This isn't from being cold, it's from being nervous.
My own Sword Spirit, and it's a girl!
Suddenly, Jiang Lin felt like he was meeting up with an online friend in person.
Even though I'm with the First Snow every day...
Composing himself, Jiang Lin straightened his collar and walked towards the woman.
When Jiang Lin got closer to the girl, he could finally see what she looked like.
She was around fifteen or sixteen years old, with slender, willow-leaf eyebrows and long eyelashes. Beneath those eyelashes were a pair of bright, sparkling eyes. Although her pupils were white, it didn't look out of place at all; on the contrary, it gave the girl a sense of purity.
Her nose was small and delicate, her mouth was cherry-like, her chin had a small pointed tip, and her skin was very white, the kind of white that is snow-white, but not the kind of pale that is sickly.
Moreover, the problem is that this snow-white skin actually enhances the girl's sense of innocence.
It's a bit like the cuteness of Master and Little Niannian, but also like the innocent and romantic nature of Chen Jia, though without Chen Jia's naive and silly feeling.
The girl was tall and slender, though in some ways she couldn't compare to Wu Die Dancer... In fact, even their master couldn't surpass Wu Die Dancer in some aspects.
However, the girl's figure gives people a feeling of just the right amount of perfection, like Two-Dimensional World who has stepped out of an anime.
Especially the white feet that dipped into the flowing glacial water after the skirt was lifted...
No, it seems like I've missed the point.
But it really is quite beautiful...
And that Xiao Xiao bell on her ankle... it instantly elevates its lethality to a whole new level.
"How much longer will Master watch?"
Just as Jiang Lin was unknowingly drawn to the girl in front of him, she slowly turned her head and looked directly at Jiang Lin. Her gentle smile gave off a pure and innocent junior schoolgirl vibe.
Awsl...
"First Snow?"
"Um."
The girl's eyes, which seemed to speak volumes, narrowed into two crescent moons.
Because it's a man's nature.
So Jiang Lin wiped his nose and took a deep breath.
To be captivated by the beauty of one's own Sword Spirit, as its master—what kind of behavior is this?!
Oh my god~~~~ The First Snow is so beautiful~~~
But here's the problem... aren't Natal Flying Sword supposed to be a reflection of Sword Cultivator's inner self?
Jiang Lin was already incredibly grateful that the First Snow Sword wasn't some scruffy, uncouth man.
But now she's supposed to be the innocent, girly schoolgirl type. How did that happen?
Jiang Lin turned his head to look again.
It has ups and downs! Real ups and downs, absolutely not fake!
After all, she had dressed as a woman quite a few times for missions, so she could tell whether it was real or fake.
Jiang Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming it was a girl.
If the gender were Afu or Hideyoshi, I really wouldn't be able to handle it.
Although she noticed her master's undisguised lewd gaze, First Snow wasn't angry. First Snow simply patted the spot next to her and asked, "Master, would you like to sit?"
"Do!"
"..."
The two fell silent.
First Snow, who spends all her time with Jiang Lin, naturally knows that her unserious master is teasing her again.
However, First Snow smiled faintly, a smile that seemed to carry a hint of kindness.
"Okay, I wasn't kidding anymore."
Jiang Lin felt that First Snow hadn't truly mastered his skills...
When were you born?
"If we're talking about its birth, it was a very, very long time ago; but if we're talking about its awakening, it should be the night of the great battle in Donglin City."
"I see."
Jiang Lin to First Snow. Just as Jiang Lin about to sit down on the snow, Jiang Lin suddenly felt a chill on his anus!
With his reaction at maximum, Jiang Lin dodged to the side, and a wisp of sword energy pierced a hole in the spot he was about to be in.
Before Jiang Lin could react, First Snow had already drawn her sword and thrust it at Jiang Lin.
With a thought, Jiang Lin Jiang Lin a handful of First Snow.
Two identical First Snow Sword clashed repeatedly within the glacier.
Both swords are from the First Snow.
Jiang Lin was not surprised by this.
Sword Spirit and swords cannot be compared at all.
The sword is like the house where the Sword Spirit lives, and the Sword Spirit lives inside the house.
Sword Cultivator below the Jade Purity Realm, when they talk about fighting with their swords, are really just throwing "houses" at others.
Therefore, Sword Cultivator below the Jade Purity Realm cannot unleash the full power of their Natal Flying Sword, because when you fight others, you are merely using the building to fight, not fighting alongside the Sword Spirit.
Why is it said that Sword Cultivator Sword Cultivator the Nascent Soul Realm and Sword Cultivator at the Jade Purity Realm are essentially from the same world?
That's the reason.
Once you have Sword Spirit, your Natal Flying Sword will undergo a transformation.
The biggest difference is that after the Sword Spirit awakens or is born, Sword Spirit will fight alongside you in the house (Sword Body), achieving a synergistic effect where one plus one is greater than two.
However, due to the awakening or birth of Sword Spirit, the original sword itself, that is, the "house" where the Sword Spirit resides, cannot withstand the power of the Sword Spirit and will collapse with a crash, and the original Flying Sword Body will automatically shatter.
At this point, the sword itself needs to be reshaped.
Only after acquiring a new house (the Sword Body) can Sword Cultivator's Natal Flying Sword truly be considered Flying Sword.
Simply put, it's somewhat similar to a cicada pupa transforming into a butterfly.
Only in this way can true unity between man and sword be achieved.
However, there are two types of Sword Body reshaping.
This is related to the birth of the Natal Flying Sword.
Sword Cultivator possess two types of Natal Flying Sword.
One type is the Flying Sword you first create when you become Sword Cultivator; the other is the Flying Sword you inherited from your previous lives.
Countless Sword Cultivator hope for the latter, because it's like hooking up with a rich woman who will guide your cultivation and help you soar to new heights, saving you at least 200 years of hard work...
However, the latter's requirements are also extremely demanding.
Before the Sword Spirit is created, if Natal Flying Sword is destroyed, then for Sword Cultivator, the foundation of the Great Dao will also be severed.
However, after the Sword Spirit is born, the so-called Sword Body is just a house. Even if the Flying Sword itself is destroyed, as long as the Sword Spirit is still alive, it's fine. At worst, another house can be built.
However, if the master dies, the sword is destroyed, and the Sword Spirit cannot be reincarnated; it can only dissipate into the world, unless the Sword Spirit's realm is high enough (Jiang Lin doesn't know how high it needs to be, but it must be at least at the Half-Step Ascension Realm), and its bond with its master is so deep that it has become one with the master's soul.
In this way, when the master is reincarnated, if the master is still Sword Cultivator and gives birth to his Natal Flying Sword, then it is possible to "continue the previous relationship".
Jiang Lin's situation is the best example and illustration.
The moment Jiang Lin awakened as Sword Cultivator, a Sword Body was born, which was equivalent to the house of the First Snow, while the Sword Spirit that had been born long ago lay in the house, fast asleep.
As for how to wake the Sword Spirit inside the house, that's unclear. At the latest, it will be at the Jade Purity Realm; at the earliest, it depends on the Sword Spirit's mood...
But whether it's the birth of Sword Spirit or the awakening of Sword Spirit...
The Sword Body would naturally destroy itself and need to be Sword Body; this is an unchanging fact.
Unfortunately, the Sword Body was simply too fragile at the beginning! The Sword Spirit couldn't unleash its true power.
This is when Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are needed.
This is why Sword Cultivator spend more and more money the more they cultivate...
Sword Cultivator who don't have their desired Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures can only let their Sword Spirit reside on their original Flying Sword, moving them out when the opportunity arises.
Otherwise, why would I work so hard to earn money? Isn't it all to build a good house (Sword Body) for my master and my Sword Spirit?
But I haven't prepared the money yet...
Perhaps Master's current Sword Spirit, Frost, still lives in the original dilapidated house (the old Sword Body).
Sigh... it's all about money...
Upon further reflection, Jiang Lin sighed again. He had thought that leaving Earth would free him from the fate of buying a house, but unexpectedly, in the world of cultivation, he would have to buy a house for his Sword Spirit to live in...
The key issue is that I can't even live there myself...
As Jiang Lin thought about it, he felt like he was having a really tough time...
On the other side, as if sensing Jiang Lin's feelings, First Snow smiled gently:
"Master, you don't need to worry about First Snow's residence. The Flying Sword where First Snow is currently staying is formed from your Spiritual Power and physical constitution. Although it is not tough or sharp enough, it is still quite sturdy."
Although the power of the sword will gradually increase after the First Snow, the First Snow will try its best to suppress it, and there will be no need to change the Sword Body's location within five years.
"Huh? So that means I have five more years to save money?"
Looking at her unreliable master, First Snow shook her head:
"Master doesn't need to prepare a new residence (Sword Body) for First Snow. In the Extremely Cold Continent, there is Sword Body residence that First Snow used many years ago. Master can just go and find it when the time comes."
However, if the master goes to search for it, he will have to bear some consequences.
"Is there really such a good thing?" Jiang Lin was a little surprised, not expecting that First Snow would come with her own house.
That makes sense, doesn't Miss Xiao's Sword Spirit come with its own house?
The difference is that the Senior Sword Spirit was a longsword forged by a swordsmith, which became a spirit over time.
"Yes, there really is such a good thing."
First Snow gently flicked the Crystal Clear Longsword in her hand, her silvery-white eyes staring directly at Jiang Lin, her expression somewhat complicated, a mixture of reminiscence, anger, and even a hint of complaint.
Feeling a little guilty under the gaze of First Snow's silvery-white eyes, Jiang Lin suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
The next moment, before Jiang Lin could react, a white shadow flashed by, and First Snow appeared in front of Jiang Lin.
Holding her longsword high, First Snow's sleeves slid slowly down her arms, revealing her slender, fair arms, like a work of art.
However, Jiang Lin had no interest in appreciating it.
The First Snow fell in a flash, and Jiang Lin his sword to block it.
"Ping..."
After their swords clashed, Jiang Lin and First Snow separated. Looking at the girl in front of him, Jiang Lin, whose hands were numb, could sense that she was still sulking.
"First Snow?"
Jiang Lin really wanted to ask how they ended up in such a love-hate relationship.
"Shh..." First Snow put her pretty index finger to her lips, a slight smile playing on her lips. "First Snow is a little angry right now, Master. You'll have to let First Snow give you a good beating first."
As soon as she finished speaking, First Snow struck again with her sword!
As the host, how could I let First Snow take the initiative? What kind of man would I be then?
You have to take the initiative yourself!
Mobilizing the power of the sun within the illusion, Jiang Lin, who was almost about to shout "I am Greece," swung the First Snow in his hand like Jedi Knight Glow Sword towards the First Snow.
First Snow merely raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and with a casual flick of her wrist, her Icy Sword Qi repelled Jiang Lin.
It's clearly the same sword, but it exudes two completely different sword energies.
Compared to the pure, Icy Cold Sword Qi of the First Snow.
If the sword energy of the First Snow is like the white magma of the legendary Extremely Cold Abyss in the Extremely Cold Land...
His sword energy was like the cold air from an air conditioner...
"Master, the First Snow is coming soon."
First Snow tilted her head slightly, and with an extremely innocent look, uttered words that were uttered with lewd intent...
Jiang Lin, focusing his mind, once again employed his Sword Moves, assuming the stance of the Dragon Hailstorm Frame, intending to strike first.
Similarly, the First Snow is also like that.
A chilling Chilling Qi enveloped the longswords in First Snow's and Jiang Lin's hands.
At the same time, two white snow shadows swept past each other, switching positions.
The instant Jiang Lin clashed with First Snow, Jiang Lin's Dragon Hailstorm Frame was instantly shattered by First Snow.
The sword energy from the First Snow lingered on Jiang Lin Jiang Lin's chest, enveloping him and beginning to form a cross-shaped ice cone.
"Puff!"
Before he was frozen into an ice sculpture, Jiang Lin unleashed the First Snow Sword, his blood staining the snow.
Although it was an illusion, the pain felt incredibly real.
The lingering sword energy within his body raged, freezing his blood.
Is this the true sword aura of the First Snow?
Jiang Lin closed his eyes, sensing the lingering sword energy within his body.
[Yes, this is the sword energy of First Snow! It's just that I previously treated First Snow as a casting tool, like Daoist's peach wood sword; I didn't truly understand First Snow.]
"Master, the First Snow is coming again."
Before Jiang Lin could react, that beautiful silhouette appeared again!
