Chapter 285

"Object Manipulation" was a basic cultivation method for immortal cultivation. Basically, as long as one had divine sense, the first thing they could do was to manipulate objects. After all, this was the most basic difference between immortal cultivators and ordinary people.

Moreover, this "Object Manipulation" ability was also the foundation for many other abilities, such as flying swords, the control of various magic weapons, and so on. Without object manipulation, it was unimaginable.

The incantation for "Object Manipulation" was very short and not very obscure. Zhang Xiaohua recalled it for a while and recited it in her heart. She already had a general impression of it, and then lowered her head and closed her eyes to comprehend it. After the time it took to eat a meal, Zhang Xiaohua did not make any other movements. Her right hand formed a simple incantation, and she muttered in her heart. She separated a small strand of her divine sense and sent it into the small sword. At first, it felt abnormally heavy, but after several attempts and pondering, Zhang Xiaohua gradually got the hang of it and became proficient. She felt the small sword gradually become lighter. After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the small sword suddenly moved. Then, like a toddler who had just learned how to walk, it stuck its head out and then the entire small sword left the table and swayed up and down. However, after passing the most difficult step, the following steps immediately became smoother. Not long after, the small sword moved under Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense and its trajectory became clear. Most importantly, under the control of the Object Manipulation Incantation, Zhang Xiaohua did not feel much weight under the control of her divine sense. It did not feel like she was holding it with her hands at all. This really made Zhang Xiaohua click her tongue in wonder. It turned out that the small sword was controlled by divine sense and not by hand.

When Zhang Xiaohua could skillfully maneuver the small sword in the cabin and go wherever she wanted to go, it was already noon. Zhang Xiaohua was playing happily when a sailor knocked on the door. Zhang Xiaohua quickly put away the small sword and blamed herself for being careless. Now that she was at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm, the consumption of her divine sense was not much. Why didn't she release her divine sense more often? Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua tried to release her divine sense out of her body before she got up and opened the door.

Zhang Xiaohua wanted to ask someone to bring the food to the cabin to eat, but she had been cultivating in the morning and felt a little bored. She wanted to go out and get some fresh air, so she followed the sailor downstairs.

Zhang Xiaohua had not yet come downstairs, but his Divine Sense had already swept through the entire ship. The banquet had already been arranged in the cabin, and everyone had already begun to happily toast each other, beginning to enjoy themselves luxuriously. Zhang Xiaohua's entrance did not attract too much attention. Qin Shiyue just looked at him, smiled slightly, and nodded as a greeting.

Zhang Xiaohua found a table at the door and sat down. Not long after, the sailor brought the food and wine. Zhang Xiaohua did not stand on ceremony and picked up the chopsticks to eat. The banquet in the cabin did not belong to her. She was just here to fill her stomach.

The Three Seas Flood Dragon King and Seven Waters' Gang Leader were also fully aware of Zhang Xiaohua's background. They understood that he was related to their Hierarch's important matter. The people who had tried to strike up a conversation with Zhang Xiaohua yesterday were still a little worried, so no one came to disturb them today.

Zhang Xiaohua focused on eating and soon finished eating. Just as he was about to get up and leave, his Divine Sense suddenly detected a ship similar to this one rapidly approaching. His heart skipped a beat and he gave up on the idea of leaving. As expected, a sailor ran in and whispered into the Creeping Wyrm King's ear in less than a moment.

After the sailor left, Lord Xu Jiao said with a smile, "Everyone, the things for our Hierarch have been delivered. Now, Lord Qin can rest assured. Please have another cup of wine and we will present the things to him."

Hearing this, Qin Shiyue was overjoyed. She raised her cup and drank with everyone. She said with a smile, "Thank you for your hospitality. Let's go. Lord Xu Jiao, take me to see what good things you have prepared for our Hierarch."

Lord Xu Jiao said with a smile, "It's nothing. Our Hierarch didn't prepare many things this time. It's just a box. There are many other things, but they are all secular things. I don't know if our Hierarch and Lord Qin are satisfied with them."

After saying that, he led everyone out of the cabin, and Zhang Xiaohua naturally followed behind.

A huge ship broke through the waves and came over. Its appearance and size were exactly the same as the one Zhang Xiaohua and the others were on. Moreover, there was a black dragon flag on the main mast. Needless to say, it was the ship of the South Sea Serpent Palace.

When the ship approaches, a group of sailors carries a dozen large boxes over. The size of the boxes is about the same as the ones Zhang Xiaohua plundered from the secret chamber in Xicui Mountain. Zhang Xiaohua is curious. Before they carry the boxes over, he has been scanned by his Divine Awareness. It is not a big deal, but his saliva is about to flow out.

Zhang Xiaohua had gotten three big boxes of money bags in the secret chamber in Xicui Mountain. He didn't count them carefully, but the things inside had made Zhang Xiaohua dizzy for a long time. He had never seen such wealth in his life. At that time, he had been shouting that he was rich, but those things were inferior to the things in the boxes in front of him. Not to mention that there were not as many things in the boxes, the quantity was also much less.

However, after thinking about it, he felt relieved. The bandits in Xicui Mountain were just ordinary people. How could they be compared with the South Sea Serpent Palace?

They had a big family and a big business. They could easily give Zhang Xiaohua something that would scare him to death.

Sure enough, Lord Xu Jiao said to Qin Shiyue, "Lord Qin, these are all secular things for our Hierarch. They are not worth mentioning. There are only ten boxes in the gift list. Please deal with the rest."

Qin Shiyue said with a smile, "Lord Xu Jiao is too polite. How can I accept this?"

"Lord Qin, you don't have to be so polite. In the Divine Sect, you always need to bribe people. Even if you don't like these secular things, there will be other people in the sect who are interested in them. Besides, you don't go out often, so it's rare for someone to be filial to you. Now you've accepted them, but Lord Garuda won't like them."

Qin Shiyue thought for a moment and said, "Then I won't be so polite to you. I will come to the South Sea often in the future. Please give me more guidance."

The more Lord Xu Jiao looked at Qin Shiyue, the more he liked her. He said, "Well said. When you finish your task and come to the South Sea, I will welcome you well."

Seeing that so many things had nothing to do with a single copper coin, Zhang Xiaohua was too lazy to look at them. In the end, she didn't even look at the box that hadn't been moved yet. She turned around and went to the second floor of the cabin.

After closing the cabin door, Zhang Xiaohua took out the small sword that she practiced in the morning. She used the magical power of controlling objects to control it and moved around the small cabin. Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua had an idea. She had the ability to control objects, but it wasn't enough to kill the enemy. Where did the sword skills of the Immortal Dao come from?

Naturally, she thought of the sword skills that she was proficient in using her left hand. She remembered that when Elder Yu taught her, there were sword skills and general principles. She had practiced a few sword skills with her left hand, but she couldn't figure out the general principles. Why not take it out and study it now?

Zhang Xiaohua closed her eyes and recalled. She matched the general principles with controlling objects. Then, she realized that the nameless sword skills were sword skills that could only be used to control objects. No wonder many of the skills were from unimaginable angles. If she only used her arm, how could she do it?

In fact, what she could use with her left hand could only be used with her right arm. As for the skills that she couldn't use with her right arm, she couldn't practice them.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua realized again. It wasn't that her aptitude wasn't good enough. It was that those skills couldn't be practiced in martial arts. If she practiced them by force, could she succeed?

Thinking about Elder Yu's single arm, Zhang Xiaohua sweated. Perhaps this was the result of trying to practice the divine skills.

Fortunately, she already knew how to control objects. The general principles were suddenly enlightened. She was also very familiar with the sword skills. This time, she only needed to switch from her hand to her divine sense. Although she wasn't used to it, it was still very easy. Not long after, Zhang Xiaohua was able to practice the few variations of the nameless sword skill. When she finished practicing, she realized that the nameless sword skill wasn't like what Elder Yu said. It wasn't just a few variations of a single sword skill. Instead, it was a few completely different sword skills. It was just that using one's divine sense to drive and using one's arm was completely different. Elder Yu cultivated from the perspective of martial arts, so he naturally thought that it was just a few variations of a single sword skill. If she used her divine sense to drive it, it would be a series of sword skills!

However, this sword skill was obviously a few variations of a set of sword skills. It didn't seem like a complete set of sword skills. No wonder Elder Yu said that it was an incomplete set of sword skills. However, even if it was an incomplete set of sword skills, it was still the first set of sword skills that Zhang Xiaohua mastered. She was able to block Situ Yueming's attack with her left hand. If she used this small sword that was driven by her divine sense, she would definitely be able to win.

Zhang Xiaohua practiced the sword skills with satisfaction before she put away her flying sword.

At this time, everyone had returned to the cabin on the first floor. More than a dozen boxes were placed in the hall. Zhang Xiaohua didn't plan to look at them, but the incomplete set of sword skills made her change her mind. She released her divine sense and secretly observed the big box that had a lot of vital energy fluctuations. She thought to herself, I wonder if there are any jade slips that record the sword skills in this box?

In the cabin on the first floor, the sailors placed the big boxes on the spot. Xu Jiao Wang didn't open them one by one for Qin Shiyue to see. Instead, he opened the big box that was filled with all kinds of jade items and said, "Lord Qin, look. These are the things that we gathered from the Three Seas and Seven Waters. Please take a look."

Qin Shiyue didn't dare to be careless when she saw this. She walked forward and carefully took some of the jade items. There were all kinds of jade items. Some looked like small pieces of jade, some looked like jade knives, and some looked like small umbrellas. Qin Shiyue's eyes lit up as she flipped through the boxes. She took out a big piece of jade that was different from the other jade items.
