Chapter 193: Great Increase in Progress
The outer courtyard of the Yunshan Sword Sect was covered in silver overnight.
“It’s snowing!”
The disciples who got up one after another to practice swordsmanship shouted from one place to another.
The outer door has turned into a world of snow. The roof tiles, tree branches, and streams are all covered with snow. Outer disciples dressed in white were practicing swordplay on the snow-covered grass and by the stream, as if they had blended in. The mountainside had turned into a classical outline, with only a few sword shadows flickering in it.
Xie Yuan stood in the courtyard, stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake as big as a goose feather, and breathed out:
"Is it already winter?"
It felt like autumn had just entered, and Hidden Sword Pavilion went up the mountain to challenge Not long after, it seemed that I had just entered a state of cultivation, and the first snow started to fall.
There is no time in the mountains.
Although Yunshan is a high mountain, the climate is pleasant under the aura cover, and it doesn’t snow much.
It is already winter. Counting the time, it is almost the end of the year.
"It's winter again..."
Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, and it turned out that a whole year had passed.
At about this time last year, I "woke up", chopped the first piece of firewood, and then saw a different world.
He was a little nostalgic for the Xie Family Courtyard in Xiaoshi Village. Although he didn’t live there that long in the past year, and he didn’t even live in Yunshan for that long, the memories always lingered. It's different.
"Do you want to go back to celebrate the New Year?"
The thought passed away in a flash, and Xie Yuan sighed, who would he go back to celebrate the New Year with?
There is only Sister Shitou Gelanhua, but with the banknotes they gave them, they should also move out of Xiaoshi Village and into the town, right?
And Xie Yuan has not forgotten that he is a wanted criminal. Occasionally when he goes to Yunshan to buy, he can see the vivid wanted order posted in the restaurant in Yunshan Town.
Many wanted criminals who could not be caught were caught at the end of the year because they couldn't help but feel homesick, which added a lot of achievements to the officials during the New Year. I don't know if Su Xing would do such an inefficient thing, but Xie Yuan just thought about it and couldn't go back.
It has been a full year since I woke up from my own time travel and embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
At this time last year, you were still practicing the Iron Clothes Changquan and the like, right? This boxing technique seems to be just a few tricks now. In fact, it is not even a skill, but it is also my first set of fighting skills.
At that time, the golden finger had just been activated and the path of martial arts practice had begun, and the panel was still a little shabby.
And now...
[Pichai: (4265/100000)]
[Golden Bell Cover·Fourth Level: (1086/5000)]
[Healthy Kung Fu·Fourth Level: (3171/4000)]

[Yunshan Sword Qi Jue·Third Level: (87/1000)]
Looking at this luxurious display of skills, feeling the boiling blood energy that changes, as well as the body-building skills and clouds The two strong inner energies of Shanjian Qijue were harmonious and complementary to each other. Xie Yuan felt that the world was wide.
The four methods of training, training and killing were all high-level methods. Xie Yuan felt that his panel was shining with a trench light.
Over the past two months, whether he was practicing the Golden Bell in the room or practicing swordplay with everyone, his blood energy was constantly increasing, and the fourth level of the Golden Bell had passed. 20% progress.
According to the levels of the golden bell, the fourth level is the first change of Qi and blood, the fifth and sixth levels are the second and third changes respectively, and then they end.
His progress in the first change of qi and blood has improved by more than 20% in two months. In less than a year, he will be able to break through to the second change of qi and blood.
This speed is almost unimaginable for other disciples; but Xie Yuan himself feels that it is too slow. After all, compared with the brave and diligent progress of external training, the current speed has dropped sharply.
However, practice is like this. Mu Chaoyun once told him:
“There are four levels of external practice, and each practice is a level;
“Qi and blood three Change, one change is like a mountain. ”
The further you go in practice, the more difficult it becomes. The gap between the pass and the mountain is self-evident.
The four levels of external training are only the foundation on the entire path of cultivation. When you reach the realm of energy and blood transformation, the span between each realm becomes wider. The gap between the second change of qi and blood and the first change of qi and blood can be greater than the difference between the first change of qi and blood and practicing outside.
This is the difference between two transformations and one transformation, which cannot be fully reflected only from the numbers on the panel.
Furthermore, not every warrior can reach the limit, even masters who have entered the Qi and Blood Transformation.
How many warriors have achieved great success in practice, but after entering the realm of transformation, they find that their potential has been exhausted, and they can no longer break the limit and undergo transformation again.
Many people have gone smoothly and have become a temporary choice, and their cultivation has advanced rapidly, just like other geniuses. However, one day suddenly, when I was stuck at the first level of a pass or a mountain, unable to advance even an inch for the rest of my life, I realized that my road had come to an end, and I could only watch others continue to climb, including even those who were far behind me. Now, But they showed their backs and looked at themselves.
Cultivation is sometimes a cruel gamble. You have a genius in mind and want to win the final victory, but you don’t know which one you will lose badly;
But practice will pay off after all. Even if you stop, as long as you don’t give up on yourself, the principal will not be recovered.
But Xie Yuan doesn’t need to worry about this, he is even too slow.
“When will you break through? The sword light is really handsome.”
Xie Yuan touched his chin and recalled Ning Zi's rainbow shot that penetrated the entire arena. Regardless of its power or appearance, he looked like a swordsman.
The basic training methods of martial arts have naturally greatly improved, and the same is true for his cultivation methods.
While the health-preserving skills were steadily advancing, Xie Yuan did not fail the Yunshan Sword Qi Jue. However, although he rediscovered the miraculous power of the health-nurturing skill, he did not convert it into sword energy skills on a large scale - the health-nurturing skill was about to break through the fifth level. When the time comes, his strength will reach a higher level, and he naturally wants to break through first. Next, let’s talk about conversion, the natural effect will be better.
But he did not give up the sword qi art to focus on health-preserving skills. After all, the sword qi art was very powerful, and coupled with the sword technique, his strength increased greatly. Now he uses the sword qi art to drive the sword technique, and the power is It is higher than the health cultivation skill;
Secondly, in the outer sect, the progress of the skill still needs to be tested. He is currently maintaining an average level to avoid attracting attention too slowly.
Both the cultivation and training methods have made great progress, but the fighting method is not far behind.
Although I use my fists less often, my physical fists are part of my body, not my swords or axes. Swords, guns, swords and halberds may fall out of hand, but fists will not...well, generally not, especially when protected by a golden bell.
The Eight Diagrams Mountain-shaking Fist originated from the mysterious Taoist priest is powerful, extremely profound, and has great potential. Xie Yuan did not abandon it, and even worked hard to practice for the beauty of the picture panel - breaking through it to the level of Xiaocheng. Looks much more unified.
With just a pair of iron fists, Xie Yuan's strength should not be underestimated. His punches are as powerful as those of others with their swords.
As for the moon-cutting ax, I practiced it a few times at the foot of the mountain when I was free, showing that I had not forgotten my roots and the big ax given by Situ Qin;
What he practiced most diligently was the Nine Movements of Yunlong, but he had only just become proficient in it in the past two months.
The Nine Styles of Yunlong are the most powerful among all his techniques. In terms of lethality, they are only inferior to sweeping thousands of armies, but their unpredictable changes and suitability for battles are even better.
But the difficulty of such a top-notch swordsmanship is self-evident.
Although the progress numbers are not high, if you want to make a little progress, it takes more than ten points of hard work compared to other exercises.
Xie Yuan has been dealing with this golden finger for a year and has figured out many rules.
For the same level of proficiency, such as the "proficiency" level, if one number is larger and the other is smaller, then the one with the larger number is probably a more advanced technique; but if they are both the same number, it does not mean that the difficulty is the same.
The proficiency of Yunlong Nine Styles is 1000 progress. If I remember correctly, the Moon-Zhanying Ax and Bagua Shanshan Fist are the same, but the difficulty is not the same. The two together are not as good as Yunlong Nine Styles.
But the power of breaking through to the proficient Yunlong Nine Styles is even more astonishing. With this sword technique alone, there should not be many people of the same level who can block it.
Plus Yunlong Bu. The Yunlong Step is extremely fast and extremely difficult, but Xie Yuan has also improved his proficiency, and his escape speed has more than doubled than before.
After two months of training in the outer sect, Xie Yuan has stabilized in the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm and is no longer considered a weak hand.
As for the other items, he took the time to go to the crevices of the rock to learn the Black Sky Book, and his progress steadily increased, making him look forward to the next time he would understand it; because the Sky Hidden Technique was used all the time, it improved constantly, and the effect was obvious;
And chopping firewood... Xie Yuan didn't give up even though he entered the outer gate and even though he didn't know when the progress would end. As long as you persist, you will eventually have a breakthrough, so he often returns to the woodshed to help.
When the boy in the woodshed first saw him coming back, he felt as if he had seen a ghost, but he could only let it go as he faced his outer sect brother. Xie Yuan said that he would never forget his old profession and would go home often to see. What could the handymen do to his formal disciples? And they found out that he was just a woodcutter, which really helped lighten their burden, and they got used to it as soon as they came and went. Now Xie Yuan often went to the woodshed to share the hard work, which made up for the extra work he brought with them.
Going through the panel carefully, such intuitive data made Xie Yuan nod slightly, judging his own strength and progress.
This is also one of the benefits of the golden finger. It can summarize the plan, check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps, and be targeted.
The Kung Fu bar, which was countless times more luxurious than a year ago, was right in front of him. The four techniques of training, training and killing had all advanced to unknown levels. Xie Yuan secretly said:
“I hope I can see it again at this time next year. To make greater progress."
After looking at himself, Xie Yuan's eyes moved to Lin Cheng who was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. He didn't know when he got up, and the strong wind brought by his sword practice cleared a large area of snow in the courtyard.
Two months later, Xie Yuan tirelessly "asked" Lin Cheng for advice. Thanks to his increasingly proficient acting skills, Lin Cheng did not see any flaws. He also said that he and Xie Yuan were helping each other and making progress together - —and made great progress.
Lin Cheng's swordsmanship has become more and more proficient, and has reached the state of "proficiency and mastery", which is three practices.
Less than a year after starting, Lin Cheng's progress in the outer sect is not too slow, especially considering his talent.
The teacher admired him greatly and often praised his perseverance, which finally bore fruit.
Of course, this fruit was purely watered and ripened by Xie Yuan. Occasionally when he went down the mountain to practice swordsmanship, Xie Yuan touched the sword and sighed:
"Outside the forest, take the Your knife is not easy.”
The free ones are the most expensive, that’s how things are.
But it was Xie Yuan who was touched by the heroic spirit of Lin Yuanwai, who was not good at martial arts, and aroused some of his warrior loyalty;
If it were someone else who was shameless, accepting your sword does not mean that he has a relationship with you. , why should you help your orphans?
As for Xie Yuan himself, he finally got rid of Song Qingping, and the upper and lower reaches of Yunshan returned to peace. There were no grandmasters wandering around, so he and Lin Cheng "happened" to be around the same time, and recently, they broke through to Yunshan. The mastery state of Shanjian style has entered the level of the third martial arts practitioner.
Having made such progress since the time of the Miscellaneous Yard, other outer disciples were naturally surprised, and the teachers praised him greatly. Two months passed from autumn to winter. Xie Yuan gained a lot, but there were also many things happening outside.
The results of the Yunshan Sword Discussion at the Autumn Equinox spread quickly, and were known to the entire Dali and even the Western Regions, and the subsequent impact also came quickly——
Chun Yulou announced the latest Feilong Ranking On the Qianlong List, Wei Dong, the master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, ranked fifth, and Li Xingtuo, the master of the Yunshan Sword Sect, rose from ninth to sixth.
A very subtle ranking.
Although Li Xingtuo is still one below Wei Dong, everyone can understand at a glance that this means that the two are completely on the same level.
And the scene at that time has also been circulated, and many people have made many associations. The two may not have tried their best to stop there. If we really go all out, the rankings may change again.
One of the big changes in the top ten of the Feilong list is that Qin Zhenyang jumped from the 26th to the ninth place on the Qianlong list. As He Jin said, he has a place in the top ten.
The rankings of both the sect master and his disciples have soared, ranking in the top ten of their respective lists. This grand occasion, combined with the high-profile challenge of Zangjian Pavilion and then the low-key decline, caused an uproar. The name of Yunshan Sword Sect was spread throughout the world, and its reputation was great. In the past two months, there has been an endless stream of talks about the challenge of becoming a master. Not to mention the housing prices in Yunshan Town have risen again, and the guest house in Banshan is almost no longer available. Fortunately, Xie Yuan no longer cares about it, otherwise he would have no time to practice martial arts.
The influence of the Sword Sect in the Dali martial arts world has also increased. Many grand gatherings in the south of the Yangtze River would not have invited the Yunshan Sword Sect in the far northwest. Recently, many invitations have come, such as the Qianlong Club, The Xiao Qianlong Club and others all sent invitations to Qin Zhenyang, Ning Zi and even Wei Dong, who were famous for their swordsmanship.
Jiangnan has always been a prosperous land in Dali, with a prosperous population and prosperous martial arts. The martial arts competitions here have become famous. In addition to fame, there are many real benefits.
In addition to the fame of the Yunshan Sword Sect, there is another major event that happened in Yanzhou, not far from Yunzhou.
The Jinlong Trading Company, which was dominating the border and doing business in both areas, was destroyed overnight. Wang Jinlong, the big boss and the master, was killed by an unknown strong man at the trading company's headquarters.
There are rumors that the Golden Dragon Trading Company was destroyed by the surviving grandmaster of the Mu family. The reason is unknown.
This incident spread like wildfire. The power of Jinlong Trading Company is not small. Counting Deng Wan before, there are two masters in charge. However, since Deng Wan died, things went from bad to worse, and finally they were directly destroyed.
The most likely murderer seems to be the Mu family master who killed Deng Wan before.
This has caused people to discuss the previous chase and escape in Yunzhao's chaos, which affected several masters and a "murderer". It's just that the murderer disappeared for a long time, and I don't know if he is dead or something else.
Xie Yuan heard this news from other disciples of the outer sect, including that they were discussing his name and whether he was dead or not.
“Ahem.”
Xie Yuan coughed twice.
The outer disciple who was speaking paused for a moment, glanced back at Zhang Shan, ignored him, and went back to continue talking happily:
"...I think Xie Yuan should be dead. Where is it? Otherwise, with the arrogance of such a murderer, he will definitely do something big!"
"..."
Xie Yuan walked away silently.
The gossip mentality of these outer disciples is no better than that of the handymen, so why don’t they sweep the floor and chop firewood?
After hearing the news about the demise of Jinlong Trading Company, Xie Yuan thought silently:
"Did Miss Mu do it? I don’t know if she found any clues. Wang Jinlong is an old master. I hope she was not injured..."
Mu Chaoyun is far away in Yanzhou or somewhere further. Xie Yuan doesn't know and can't see her. He can only miss the moon at that time by the waterfall cliff occasionally.
In the few days after the snow, Xie Yuan summarized the harvest of this period, felt a little bit, and then practiced as usual as before.
I thought it would be like this until the new year. During morning exercise that day, the instructor brought a piece of news.
"Lin Zhen and Pei Yu have achieved great success in cultivation. They have advanced to the fourth level in less than a year. The teachers of the outer sect feel that it is time for you two to go down the mountain for a trial."
Professor Sun said with a smile.
All the disciples turned their attention to the two people in front of them, with much envy in their expressions.
Having reached the fourth level within one year, this talent ranks among the top among this year’s disciples.
As for the opportunity of the trial, it made the disciples even more jealous.
Although every outer sect disciple has the first trial of going down the mountain, you will not be allowed to go down the mountain if you are not recognized by the master. It's possible that it's been spent at the outer door for more than ten years.
Lin Zhen and the two were able to take the trial in less than a year, which shows that the teachers admire the two of them very much.
In addition to the purpose of training the disciples, the trial also has an unspecified purpose, which is to re-evaluate the disciples' qualifications and is an opportunity for the disciples.
As for where can I go after passing the assessment?
Naturally it is the inner door.
In the past, many disciples from the outer sect performed well in the first trial. After returning, they directly transferred to the inner sect to practice!
The resources of inner doors are far better than those of outer doors. Not only can he learn higher-level techniques and be taught by stronger teachers, but he can also have more spiritual energy in the place where he lives.
It's just that the inner sect has always been a place for Qi and blood transformation realm disciples to practice. The few outer training disciples who have shown amazing talents at the beginning can directly enter the inner sect.
Lin and Zhen have obviously reached a certain stage. The teachers and commanders feel that they should go down the mountain to practice. If they perform well, they can enter the inner gate in advance.
Go to the inner gate as early as possible, especially if you can go while still practicing outside, you will basically be much ahead of your peers. As the saying goes, one step is fast and the other is fast. These two people are naturally talented and practice quickly. Once they enter the inner sect, if they meet again one day, I am afraid that their former classmates will not be in the same realm at all.
The disciples were all envious and admired, and their eyes seemed to be fixed on Lin Zhen and Pei Yu.
Master Sun glanced around, took in the expressions of the disciples, and then smiled:
"But this time we decided to make an exception and give two more places. A total of four people will go down the mountain for the trial."
When the disciples heard this, they were stunned. This batch of them all started this year. Between the two of them, who else can go?
Exception? Could it be that his talents are finally being appreciated? Is the day to take off coming?
Many disciples’ eyes suddenly brightened, and they looked up at Teacher Sun, waiting for him to call their names.
With a smile on his face, Professor Sun turned his attention to the two people beside him:
"Lin Cheng, Zhang Shan, although you have just broken through the third level of practice, your daily hard work and tireless ambition are all seen by the teachers.
"Our Sword Sect's first priority is xinxing, and secondly It’s talent, and in terms of hard work and perseverance, you two are the best in this group, so I’m allowing you to go down the mountain together for the test. Haha, your hard work has paid off, and the level of the third practice has just reached the minimum standard. Get ready, let's go together, four of us. "
When the disciples heard this, their eyes turned around again, and they were fixed on Xie Yuan and Lin Cheng.
Neither Xie Yuan nor Lin Cheng expected that they were stunned. After a moment, they didn't react until they were stared at by everyone.
Looking at Lin Cheng's clenched fists, excited and determined, and Zhang Shan's honest and unresponsive look, everyone had complicated expressions.
< br>
A lunatic and an idiot who just practices like crazy every day, how did he get this opportunity?
"Going down the mountain for a test? Let the rookies see their blood... It's okay to go for a walk. I haven't killed bandits for a long time. Kill two lucky ones to deal with it."
Isn't Xie Yuan very good? The so-called thinking.
Professor Sun looked at the four people and said encouragingly:
"Work harder! If you perform well in this trial, maybe the inner sect will come to pick up the people in advance, and it will be good for yourself The benefits of spiritual development need not be mentioned.
"Even if the performance is extremely outstanding, some disciples have had the opportunity to go to Sword Peak to gain enlightenment before!"
Go to Sword Peak?
Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then quickly nodded heavily along with the other three.
“I haven’t killed bandits for a long time. I have to find a few lucky bosses... Well, there are a few people posted next to my bounty in the restaurant. What level of people are posted with me? They already don’t like them. ..."
Western Desert, outside Hulukou, on the edge of an oasis city.
A familiar scene happened again.
Lu Laosan stood near Oasis City and sighed:
"Su Xing, are you finished? I finally entered the detention center after a few months. What the fuck?" I bumped into you again! You have nothing to do, right? Right?"
"Why were you and Deng Wan chasing those two people? Did you come to the border to find them? Where are they now?"
Su Xingjian has arrested them? When he didn't see him, his face darkened slightly and he asked repeatedly.
When Lu Laosan heard this, he felt aggrieved and angry at the same time. He was furious and said:
"I see, if you can't find them, you just come to me, right? Picking up persimmons... Bah!
br>
“Didn’t Jinlong Trading Company just disappear? It must have been the one named Mu who did it. Go check it out! Why are you always staring at me? Oh, it looks like you lost track of me again? Hahaha, why can’t the mighty Chunyu Tower Master arrest a case for several months? waste!
"Don't think about it! I'm not your son, no, you're not my father... Bah, no, why should I tell you? Get out! Don't come to West Desert!"
He cursed loudly, turned around and entered the oasis city, escaping into the mixed crowd.
Su Xing stood on the sand dune, quietly looking down at the city gate of the Oasis City, looking at the camel caravans and the Westerners wearing face scarves and turbans coming and going, and whispered:
"Lu Laosan, West Desert, Jinlong Trading Company, Mu Family..."
This oasis city is not Lu Laosan's territory, but he also has his stronghold in the city.
Escaped into the inconspicuous residence, he revealed his figure, looked at the wounds on his body, and his eyes showed anger.
But then he frowned and said to himself:
"I didn't find anything when I entered the customs this time. It's almost time to open the place. I can't delay it any longer. Who knew I would encounter this broom star when I came back...
"Well, that time I broke in by chance many years ago. , let me become a grandmaster, I must not miss this opening, this is my chance and luck!
"Just according to what it said, the silence at the start of this time cannot be greater. There are people from Su Xing and the government looking at him outside. We have to find a way to take him away, and we have to prevent other people from joining in the fun. ..."
Lu Laosan thought about it Thinking, he narrowed his eyes and snorted:
"It's just a good time to hunt down the official dog of Dali, so let all the sons and daughters be dispatched! I'm afraid of you when you enter the pass. When you get to the West Desert, my horse bandits are here Qian, are you still afraid of someone wearing official uniform?
"No one is allowed to approach there before the New Year's Eve, otherwise they will be killed, I say!"
He smashed the table hard, with blazing wildfire in his eyes.
This time in and out, he should have the strength of the Feilong Bang Grandmaster. Su Xing, Li Tai, Mu Chaoyun, Xie Yuan...
They are all stepping stones on his path!
I’m a little late today, sorry. There is another update in the evening, but it will be later.
Recently, it’s been a bit difficult to get tens of thousands a day every day. After all, I was a contestant who made four thousand a day before this month, and it was always four thousand on the day it was put on the shelves. My previous books were also four thousand a day...
But I also want to challenge After a while, I started to try 6,000 yuan this month, and I thought it was okay. Then I tried 10,000 yuan per day, and I have been persisting for a week. I'll try again, and when it doesn't work, I'll restore it to 6,000, and if it doesn't work, I'll restore it to 4,000: p
The number of chapters per day is not necessarily certain, sometimes three, sometimes two, but the total number of words will be guaranteed, and maybe it will be direct in the future One chapter of 10,000 words, this is based on the plot and the feeling of coding and the author's mood: /
If I don't ask for leave, it will probably be later. I am a part-time author. Please bear with me and please support me. Your support is my motivation to update! Not much nonsense, I will try to code more
