Chapter 219 Li Xingtuo’s shock


Chapter 219 Li Xingtuo's Shock

The new Qianlong List had just been released. Xie Yuan's temper was aroused and he made military ambitions, and the discussion on the side became more and more intense.

Originally, every time the list is released, it will cause heated discussions among warriors, and the disciples on Yunshan Mountain are naturally no exception.

And this time it is even more so.

The eldest brother who is loved and admired by everyone has not changed much, but this 72nd one really made the disciples excited for a while.

Perhaps most of the warriors in other states have heard of this name for the first time - except for those masters and masters involved in the dispute over the pagoda ruins and the senior officials behind them, they are only a few;

But Yunshan Many disciples of the Sword Sect know Xie Yuan to a certain extent.

After all, he committed a vicious crime of killing an official on the street in Yunzhou, and then even the Chunyu Tower God arrested Su Xing. The attention of the sect members.

There were also disciples who went down the mountain to chase this famous wanted criminal, but of course they couldn't catch him. After all, even Su Xing couldn't catch him.

And... going down the mountain to look for it is really the opposite.

Originally, after a period of time, the evil man who was dubbed the "unparalleled murderer" disappeared, and the disciples of the Sword Sect stopped paying attention;

Not long before the result, Xie Yuan appeared in Wuhe again, and the county magistrate was arrested. He was killed directly in the county government office, but Xie Yuan was still alone and missing.

This triggered an earthquake in the Yunzhou officialdom whose inside story was unknown. Even the disciples on Yunshan Mountain could feel it slightly, so that was all.

As soon as the new Qianlong list came out, the disciples exploded.

It is said that Xie Yuan, who was still practicing outside when he became famous last year, has directly entered the Qianlong list this year?

It's really riding a dragon and soaring into the sky. That's just this speed, right?

Even Ning Zi, the leader of Yunshan Sword Sect’s Second Transformation Realm, has not yet made it onto this list.

So Xie Yuan has been practicing in the inner sect these days. No matter where he goes, he can hear the discussions of the disciples next to him on the large platform on the peak, in the disciples' dining hall, and even on the mountain paths and courtyards.

The content of everyone's greetings also changed from "Have you eaten?" Everyone has it, no matter the common people or the disciples of Immortal Mountain.”

Xie Yuan curled his lips:

"Su Xing's trick is useful. Even in the Sword Sect, I have heard it countless times that a senior brother wanted to challenge the unworthy 'Xie Yuan'... ..."

Even a warrior who has worked steadily all the way, first becoming famous in the region and then being on the Qianlong List, will still face many doubts and challenges, not to mention Xie Yuan who suddenly made it to the list.

Besides, there are some hidden rules in Qianlong List.

Lists generally do not include left-handed masters or villains. Otherwise, seventy-two may not be enough. Secondly, it may be suspected of fueling the arrogance of evil people, which is not in line with the purpose of Chunyu Tower.

But occasionally there are murderers on the list. Most of them have undisputed strength, or they shine brightly on public occasions and cannot be concealed.

However, such vicious people often end up not doing well after staying on the list for a period of time. After all, they are too eye-catching.

But this time Xie Yuan, as a wanted criminal, was at the bottom of the list, which naturally made the self-proclaimed upright warriors gear up.

It can punish rape and eliminate evil, and it can also make a name for itself, so why not do it?

Defeating Xie Yuan is a win-win situation - an upright disciple wins twice.

However, in addition to this unspoken rule, there is another one, that is, royal masters generally do not appear on the list unless they are too eye-catching - such as Xue Minghe, who won the first prize in the East China Sea sword competition.

The reason given by Chun Yulou was naturally that it was a taboo for the nobles. In fact, it was naturally to hide the strength of the royal family in order to check and balance the aristocratic family.

The famous masters of major aristocratic families basically have records on the list, but no one can tell clearly how many masters and experts there are in the royal family. Even in Chunyu Tower, there are people from major aristocratic families who can see The real lists and real information inside are also half-understood.

But it is certain that the royal family does not have a great master now.

When the Grand Master was born, most of the martial arts masters in the world felt some reaction.

Although not every one of the eight great families has a great master, there are still two of them.

In recent decades, the person in the royal family who has been closest to the status of a great master is Xue Minghe.

It's a pity that his sharp edge is too dazzling. Even if he is dormant in the capital, he is still paying attention to the eight major families.

Feeling that this peerless commander also wanted to obtain peerless force, the eight great families were on pins and needles, and finally decided to join forces, using the world as a threat, to strangle King Pingxi on the eve of his invincibility.

No matter how decadent, dark, and bloated the family is, before a real crisis, they will always show their true strength and determination that has lasted for thousands of years.

In the end, the aristocratic family won this huge gamble that used the world's chaos and the overthrow of the Central Plains as chips - although the result was also tragic. Nearly twenty years later, Jinling Qian still hasn't recovered, and many other families have also won. If there is a loss, each will recover.

Since the establishment of the martial arts list, it has naturally been a means for the imperial court to control martial artists. But now that it has developed, it has become more and more recognized, and even Chunyu Tower does not dare to mess around except for some small moves. At least the above sequence is absolutely problem-free when released.

As long as you are on the list, you are strong.

Xie Yuanyan accompanied the last one, trying to suppress countless fists that wanted to reach up. Looking up, it was his target.

Maybe one day, Chun Yulou will feel that it was a wrong decision to rank Xie Yuan up.

But at least for now...

“Xie Biaotou is so awesome!”

In Xie Yuan’s small courtyard, Lin Cheng praised him a lot, drank a sip of tea, and concluded.

"As expected of Mr. Xie... The Wuhe County Magistrate must be a dog officer like Yu Chunsheng. Mr. Xie must have made a mistake in killing him."

Lin She really has a soft voice and a fierce tone.

"This Xie Yuan is indeed amazing. He is even better than the last time I saw him in the Western Desert. Killing a heaven-level assassin... Damn! I really want to get to know him!"

Pei Yu's rare colleague There was even Huang Zifeng when he came to Xie Yuan's courtyard.

The latter nodded solemnly and sighed slightly:

"The gap between him and me has become wider again..."

A companion on an adventure in the Western Desert made an appointment Together, drinking tea and discussing swords, gather together.

After all, the four of them came up from the outer sect together, and Huang Zifeng led the trials and entered the ruins together. They lived and died together, and they had a lot of friendship.

It’s just that he was busy practicing, and Lin Zhen even went to Yaoyue Peak, so he didn’t have much time to meet.

Xie Yuan listened silently as several people praised him in front of his face, coughed, and changed the subject:

"Brothers and sisters, why are you here in my courtyard to gather together today?"< br>
"The place where I and Junior Sister Lin are is not easy to get to. The courtyards of Junior Brother Pei and Junior Brother Lin are not as beautiful as yours. You have a broad mind and look out as if you have the world in your mind."

Huang Zifeng pointed outside. Through the open courtyard door, they could all see the scenery outside the cliff. Thousands of mountains lay low. Under Yun Fei's feet, only the main peak on the opposite side protruded, pointing directly at the Tianmen, as if pointing to the road ahead.

“It’s really good.”

Lin Cheng also agreed.

Lin Zhen looked at Xie Yuan with moist eyes, spinning up and down.

Xie Yuan Mingzhi felt that he had to change the topic, so he heard Lin Zhen say again:

"Junior Brother Zhang, have you read this Qianlong list? Why do you look so uninterested in Biaotou Xie's ranking?"

"Huh? No, I still admire him... Mainly Listen to what the senior brothers and sisters said.”

Xie Yuan smiled awkwardly but politely.

In order to avoid being too silent, he naturally echoed many times on similar occasions. It's just that the Qianlong List topic is too hot and frequent. Xie Yuan echoed a few words, but he really couldn't bear to boast anymore.

Xie Yuan considers himself not a thin-skinned person, but when others are bragging about him in front of him, he is somewhat unable to say it out loud.

Moreover, it is impossible for him to be Zhang Shan for the rest of his life, and he will show up sooner or later. At that time, these former classmates will remember how he talked endlessly in front of someone else's face, thinking that he was his number one fan, and his reputation was ruined... In this era, it is easier to die in society.

Lin Zhenmiao’s eyes turned around on him a few times without saying anything more.

Seeing this, Xie Yuan quickly turned to other topics and returned to discussing swords. When everyone heard about the art of swordsmanship, they became very enthusiastic and began to discuss it word by word.

Two of them are personally taught by the elders, and the other three are also disciples of the inner sect. Among the three inner sects, one has perfected Huan Yunshan Sword Style and practiced Yunlong Nine Styles. Only two are real inner sects. Just a door. During the exchanges, even though they were disciples, they often had high opinions and witty remarks, each with his or her own true understanding of the art of swordsmanship from the masters and elders.

Xie Yuan absorbed other people's methods and realized it in his heart. While thinking secretly, looking at the expressions of several people, he also had some understanding of today's gathering.

This reunion was spearheaded by Huang Zifeng. Seeing his glance at Lin Zhen from time to time, you could tell what his drunken intentions were.

In the past, when Lin Zhen was still in the inner sect, Huang Zifeng often came here on the pretext of visiting his junior brothers and sisters, although they all knew in their hearts that visiting their junior brothers was just incidental.

But now Lin Zhen went to Yao Yuefeng, practiced hard and didn't show up often. Huang Zifeng couldn't go to Yao Yuefeng, which only accepted female disciples, so he had to come up with this method.

"But Miss Lin doesn't seem to have that intention towards Huang Zifeng... Her attitude is not as close as before. Senior Brother Huang is older than Senior Brother Huang."

Xie Yuan gossiped silently.

Although he often denounced the disciples of the Jian Sect in his heart for not doing their jobs properly and loving gossip from the servants' courtyard to the inner sect.

But he just doesn’t like to hear his own gossip, but he still likes other people’s gossip.

Especially remember that when the Lin brothers and sisters first came to the mountain and were still outside, Huang Zifeng often took care of Lin Zhen and showed kindness to him. Lin Zhen was gentle and gentle, and never resisted. Huang Zifeng's soul was shaken every time he called him brother. Fly.

After they arrived, they had adventures together, and the friendship between them became strong. Huang Zifeng probably thought that he and Lin Zhen were getting closer. However, after Lin Zhen came back, he entered the inner sect and invited Yue Feng, but gradually he and Huang Zifeng saw less.

Now that they get together occasionally, Lin Zhen is polite to Huang Zifeng. Although they are still brothers and sisters, seeing the way Huang Zifeng is both happy and disappointed when seeing Lin Zhen, we know that there is nothing going on between them.

This Miss Lin probably didn't have that much interest in Huang Zifeng from the beginning. She just didn't and didn't dare to refuse him for the sake of his personal disciple and inner sect brother.

But now that she is also a direct descendant of the Grand Master, her status is no worse than Huang Zifeng's, her true attitude is revealed.

Xie Yuan thought secretly.

He had seen before that Lin was really a thoughtful girl. After all, after such a big change in the family, even a naive rich girl should have some suspicions in her heart.

Although he didn't take the initiative to show kindness to Huang Zifeng, he didn't refuse him strictly and borrowed his convenience to go there.

Of course, the status was very different when he first started, so it was impossible for Lin Zhen to refuse. Taking advantage of the situation is also a typical and shrewd way for ordinary women to seize opportunities.

Xie Yuan didn’t have much opinion. After all, Lin Zhenyi did not compromise and took the initiative to deceive for profit. Secondly, after he was able to talk, his attitude was made clear, not to delay Huang Zifeng and not to give him any other hope. , which can be regarded as a straightforward act. If you are more scheming and have a lower bottom line, you can keep Huang Zifeng hanging and use some good things from Bamboo Sword Peak to support yourself. One person can monopolize the resources of two direct disciples to practice, and he can make great progress with each passing day. Wouldn't it be fun? This is perfectly normal in many places.

Licking a dog always leads to a bad death.

It’s just that Lin Zhen is not such a person. He is dedicated to practicing martial arts on his own for revenge. He is quite determined in his heart, not as soft as water on his face.

“Junior Brother Zhang, I’m sorry for bothering you today, so I’ll take my leave now. Please take care of yourself.”

"What are you talking about? Brother and sister, please go away and we will meet again next time."

"Next time... let's discuss the date."

After discussing swords for half a day, all the fellow disciples said goodbye and left, thank you Yuan could tell that Huang Zifeng was somewhat disappointed looking at Lin Zhen's firm back.

“Young man.”

Xie Yuan shook his head quite maturely.

Although he was just an inexperienced keyboard warrior in his previous life, he transformed into an emotional guru when he was watching. He loved giving people bullshit ideas that seemed reasonable.

But the popularity of the Qianlong List is really a bit higher...

Although Xie Yuan knew it before and occasionally discussed it with others a few times before, only when it was his turn did he Know how compelling this thing really is.

Fortunately, my hiding was probably different from what Su Xing expected.

Many people who have dealt with Xie Yuan know that he is either invisible or unparalleled, or he can be someone else, but they know that he can do both in secret skills and that both are top-notch, and only those closest to him know that he can do both.

This turmoil had been going on for a while, and Xie Yuan still heard his name everywhere, pretending to be deaf and dumb, but it had no real impact.

On this day, he was practicing in his courtyard. Suddenly, a disciple from the main peak came and knocked on his door.

"Junior Brother Zhang, please go to the main peak. The sect leader calls you."

Xie Yuan saw the disciple saying, responded, cleaned up briefly, and left with him.

He was still a little confused on the way:

"The sect master hasn't come to me recently. I'm safe and sound. What's the matter?" Why?”

“Junior Brother Zhang, I don’t know, I just lead the way.”

The disciple replied.

Xie Yuan pondered for a moment and asked tentatively:

"How does the sect leader's mood look?"

"The sect leader's mood? Well, it seems okay. You also know that our sect leader has always been kind and cheerful. I never get irritated with others, it’s really a blessing The gentlest and best sect master below!”

After hearing this, Xie Yuan frowned and muttered to himself:

“That’s because you haven’t been punished by him. I definitely don’t agree with your opinion..."

During the conversation, the two of them walked around the forest, followed the cliffside path, stepped on the stone stairs, and climbed to the main peak of Yunshan Mountain step by step.

Enter the main hall, which has gradually become familiar, and walk to the large study room in the side hall, leading the disciples to salute inside and leave. Xie Yuan then saluted Li Xingtuo behind the desk and said:
< br>“I’ve met the sect leader! Well, I’ve met senior brother Qin ! "

Li Xingtuo is still buried in the papers on his desk, which are always in abundance, just like the mountains of rice and mountains...

Xie Yuan also sighed, It is not easy to be the leader of a large sect. In addition to so many people and such big stalls up and down Yunshan Mountain, Jian Zong also has many industries in other places to support itself. The sect leader is the big shopkeeper and the big boss. Even if there is a dedicated person in charge of these things, he has to look at them. Today there will be some suggestions from the east, and tomorrow there will be some surprises from the west, every day will be filled up.

I don’t know how he achieved such a level of cultivation despite being so busy. Maybe the big shot’s time and energy are shared by others?

It is better to concentrate on practicing...

But today, in addition to Li Xingtuo who was unstoppable in issuing documents, Qin Zhenyang was also nearby. When he saw Xie Yuan greeting him, he nodded kindly and continued to help his master organize the documents.

Li Xingtuo took the pen and quickly wrote down his opinions on the file in front of him. Xie Yuan saw that the pen brought out phantoms, maybe he had used the Glitter Sword...

Then Li Xingtuo just raised his head and said:

"Here we come..."

After saying that, he suddenly paused.

The next moment, Li Xingtuo raised his eyebrows, blinked, and then looked out the window, as if he felt his eyes were dazzled by reviewing for too long.

Then he turned back and looked at Xie Yuan carefully, gradually showing a strange expression.

Li Xingtuo asked tentatively:

"Zhang Shan...have you achieved a breakthrough with your mental skills?"

Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he was asking about the Yunshan Sword Intention Sutra. He couldn't help but nodded and said very humbly:

"Some understanding."

Even Lu Liangdong could see some clues, not to mention Li Xingtuo.

And with his discerning eyes, he could definitely tell that it was a breakthrough in internal strength.

As for the internal strength... it was approved by Li Xingtuo himself, so he won't forget it.

So Li Xingtuo said in disbelief:

"Seriously? How long has it been?"

"It should have been a while."

Thank you Yuan said vaguely.

When Qin Zhenyang heard this conversation, he raised his head in surprise and looked at Xie Yuan.

Master seems to have mentioned before that Junior Brother Zhang should start practicing the Yunshan Sword Intent Sutra. Is this what this breakthrough is about?

Isn’t it possible? How long has it been!

Qin Zhenyang's eyes showed suspicion.

It’s not like he has never practiced the Yunshan Sword Intent Sutra before. It’s fairly difficult. Even if he has a solid foundation and extraordinary talent, it will take several months or more than half a year to break through to the first level.

It didn’t take him that long to enter the inner gate...

As a result, Li Xingtuo’s next sentence made him stunned:

“Which floor is it specifically?”
< br>Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment, thinking that he might not be able to hide anything in front of Li Xingtuo, so he might as well be honest, so he said honestly:

"This disciple has reached the fourth level of cultivation now."
< br>

Li Xingtuo leaned back in an instant, pressed his back firmly against his big chair, and looked at Xie Yuan in disbelief.

The fourth floor! ?

How long has it been since I gave you the Yunshan Sword Intent Sutra?

If I remember correctly, it doesn’t start from the third floor, right? There is a first floor and a second floor, right?

Could it be that this kid has been secretly studying for a long time...

Li Xingtuo's expression was ever-changing. Even as a top grandmaster and the leader of a sect, it was rare for him to be unable to control his expression.

Compared to Li Xingtuo, Qin Zhenyang's performance is much more direct.

His mouth slowly opened wide, big enough to fit two eggs.

With a clatter, the document in his hand fell to the ground without letting him react.

Is Master trying to trick people again?

Qin Zhenyang's first reaction was this.

Different from many disciples' impressions of Li Xingtuo, as the eldest disciple of the sect leader, Qin Zhenyang was somewhat aware of his master's occasional deviations.

Although Li Xingtuo has grown older and became the sect leader, it is impossible for Li Xingtuo to drive the sect into chaos like before, but his nature is there, and his occasional performances often make Qin Zhen, the chief disciple, Yang was speechless.

Qin Zhenyang is so dedicated and conscientious in assisting in the management of the sect, and he is as meticulous as a hair. This cannot be obtained through words and deeds... Often if the previous generation is unreliable, the next generation will be much more reliable.

So when Qin Zhenyang heard Xie Yuan say he had broken through to the fourth level, his first reaction was not that Xie Yuan was lying, but what was the master doing?

But seeing his master's expression and Xie Yuan's innocent expression, Qin Zhenyang slowly came back to his senses.

He knew that Zhang Shan, the junior brother, would rather say less than more...

Wouldn't he have already reached the fifth level of cultivation? Isn't that almost the same as before?

Qin Zhenyang shook his head subconsciously. Although he had already transferred to practice more advanced internal skills and the secrets of the sect master's lineage, he also knew what level of internal skills the Yunshan Sword Intention Sutra was. This junior brother No matter how talented you are, you will never cross the border and reach the fifth level, which is equivalent to the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation.

But as soon as I got started, I broke through to the fourth level in a short time...

Qin Zhenyang's expression was one of uncontrollable shock, and he looked Xie Yuan up and down, as if he was looking at something incredible.

He couldn't help but ask:

"Junior Brother Zhang, have you gone crazy?"

"No, I am very conscious."

"Then what kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure have you taken?"

"I haven't eaten for a long time, and there's nothing on the mountain..."

"Then you fell into some cave, and were you possessed by a predecessor of the Sword Sect? The kind that was put in a ring?"

As soon as Qin Zhenyang said these words, Xie Yuan and Li Xingtuo couldn't help but look at him.

Qin Zhenyang was stunned for a moment and coughed:

"I haven't seen it, I heard others tell it." Read this storybook.

This kind of thing is already outdated, so why not let yourself recommend a few books to him.

Li Xingtuo also sighed and said:

"Zhenyang, didn't I tell you to read less crooked books? Look at you, my junior brother can't stand it anymore."

Qin Zhenyang’s face became hot and he couldn’t help but said:

"Master, you gave me the first one. I was only twelve years old at that time, and it still contained that..."

"Ahem, didn't you see the file fell on the floor? Why don't you hurry up? Pick it up!"

Li Xingtuo held a hollow fist in his hand and coughed slightly, then looked back at Xie Yuan, his eyes seemed to light up, and he looked at it for a while before returning to normal.

However, his expression was still difficult to calm down:

"We have really reached the fourth level...how did you practice?"

"Just, I got it all of a sudden, it's not as difficult as I thought."

Xie Yuan didn't know how to explain it, so he was vague.

Suddenly?

Not as difficult as imagined?

Li Xingtuo and Qin Zhenyang both fell silent.

From the basic Sword Qi Jue to the intermediate Sword Intention Sutra, they have all experienced this process.

For them, it may not be too rough, but the impression is still quite profound.

Anyway, it wasn’t as smooth as Xie Yuan’s.

It’s not as difficult as imagined...

Li Xingtuo was secretly dissatisfied.

He remembered that when he approved the Sword Intent Sutra to Xie Yuan, he asked him to ask himself if he didn't understand.

As a result, after so many days, he never came! I'm still wondering if he is thin-skinned - of course he doesn't seem to be thin-skinned, but it can't really be okay?

Not only did it turn out to be okay, but it also gave me such a surprise... No, it can be said to be a shock!

Li Xingtuo has been practicing for decades and has been the master of the Yunshan Sword Sect for so long. Regardless of whether it was a hundred years ago or how long ago, he has never heard of anyone comprehending the Sword Intention Sutra to this level. of.

Throughout the history of the Sword Sect, perhaps only the second-generation ancestor who once enlightened was faster than him... But that was also a special situation. Didn't this guy even enter Sword Peak?

Jianfeng?

Li Xingtuo's expression was slightly confused. Could it be the aftereffect of entering Jianfeng last time?

Sometimes the insights after entering Jianfeng are not fully reflected until later, which is normal.

Qin Zhenyang obviously thought so too. He looked at his master and seemed to find a good reason for Xie Yuan.

Otherwise, if he could comprehend the fourth level of the Sword Intent Sutra on his own... let alone Qin Zhenyang, even Li Xingtuo himself would be outclassed!

That's not appropriate.

Li Xingtuo's expression returned to normal, he waved and said calmly:

"Come here, let me see if you have any hidden dangers."

Xie Yuanzi I don't know if there is any hidden danger. After all, this is indeed a special situation for him, and it is not some evil way.

He walked to the desk and let Li Xingtuo hold his wrist, and then suddenly felt a sharp and sharp sword penetrating through his body along the meridians on his hand.

Xie Yuan's mind went blank for a moment, but after a moment, he came to his senses, and Li Xingtuo also retracted his hand and pondered slightly.

So fast? As expected of the sect master...

Li Xingtuo thought for a while, nodded and said:

"The foundation is solid, there is no sense of vanity, it is like practicing for many years, very stable, very... ...Rare.”

After commenting, he paused and said:

"But I feel that there is still a trace of mellow inner energy in your body. Is it the technique you practiced before?" Zhongzheng is mellow, which is of great help to my practice."

Li Xingtuo nodded slowly:

"It seems that your breakthrough is related to this skill."


He frowned and thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully:

"This skill is very good, you can continue to practice."

Qin Zhenyang raised his eyes, a little surprised.

Since Master said it is very good, then it is the top skill.

Junior Brother Zhang was at the foot of the mountain before, where did he get such skill?

Xie Yuan said yes, but saw that Li Xingtuo didn't ask too many questions, just as he expected.

But he should have seen part of the specialness of the health-preserving skill, although there is only a trace left now.

Thinking of the kung fu taught to him by this mysterious Taoist priest, Xie Yuan sighed in his heart. He relied on this kung fu to truly embark on the path of rapid cultivation. To this day, although this effort has come to an end, it is still benefiting from it.

Li Xingtuo calmed down, glanced at Xie Yuan, and said calmly:

"By the way, Zhang Shan, have you seen the recent Qianlong list?"


?

Xie Yuan looked at Li Xingtuo and sighed.

Should I have seen it or not...

He took a breath and said honestly:

"Disciple has seen it."

"Oh, there are a lot of young heroes' names on it, which is impressive. For example, that Xie Yuan... is from Yunzhou, right?"

Li Xingtuo smiled lightly and asked Qin Zhenyang next to him:

“Disciple, did I remember correctly?”

Qin Zhenyang had a strange expression, squeaked twice, and said:

“ Master, you are right.”

"Hey, we have talented people in Yunzhou, but there are not many from the door..."

Li Xingtuo sighed regretfully, and suddenly raised his voice:

"But now we have Zhang Shan! Look, is he a young man from Qian Long Bang? "

He looked at Qin Zhenyang again.

Qin Zhenyang pursed his lips tightly and nodded.

"I have cultivated to the fourth level of the Sword Intention Sutra in a short period of time! I don’t think it is that difficult! Look, look. Zhang Shan, when are you going to be on the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"

Li Xing Tuo looked sideways at Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan's face turned red and he didn't know how to answer.

I always felt that the sect master seemed a little dissatisfied...

Li Xingtuo teased for a while, and finally felt a little more comfortable when he saw Xie Yuan looking embarrassed.

He thought for a while and smiled:

"Zhang Shan, practice hard and break through when it's time to 'break through'. I'm waiting for the day you get on the Hidden Dragon List. Well, surpass Xie Yuan and rank above him. I Looking forward to it."

Li Xingtuo waved his hand with a smile on his face.

Xie Yuan was still a little confused when he saw Li Xingtuo signaling for him to leave. He turned around and walked out.

Just let me go?

Why did you call me here?

He thought for a while and suddenly realized something.

You don’t want to see how I’m doing with my Sword Intention Sutra, do you? It seemed like there was nothing to see, and then...

Xie Yuan gritted his teeth, not without embarrassment.

But thinking that Li Xingtuo was so busy, he still thought about his own practice.

Xie Yuan exhaled and secretly clenched his fists.

After Xie Yuan left, only master and apprentice were left in the study.

The two were quiet for a while, and Qin Zhenyang spoke up:

“Master, didn’t you tell me before that Junior Brother Zhang would attend the Little Qianlong Club in Jiangnan in a few months? ?”

Li Xingtuo put down his pen and looked out the window:

"I had this idea before, let him hone and hone. The Sword Intent Sutra is quite concerned about actual combat. But since he practices so fast, it is no longer necessary...and he has a problem with the family. If he goes there and shows off his strength on stage, , especially if his identity is revealed, it wouldn’t be appropriate.”

Seeing that Li Xingtuo cared so much about Xie Yuan’s practice, Qin Zhenyang whispered. Said:

"Master, I think Junior Brother Zhang has a good character. He has seen what he should see. You have been watching for so long, why not let him worship the main peak? Didn't you have this intention before?" "

"When did I say this?"

Li Xingtuo glanced at Qin Zhenyang:

"You really want to have so many junior brothers working for you? Would you like to read the script?"

Qin Zhenyang looked embarrassed:

"Master, how could I mean this?"

Li Xingtuo shook his head and said calmly:

“There is nothing wrong with his character and character. He may be a little more decisive in doing things and not too disciplined, but it is not a big problem.

"But, does he really regard himself as a disciple of Yunshan Sword Sect? Or is he just a passerby?"

Qin Zhenyang pondered for a moment, feeling that he could not answer this question.

Li Xingtuo said lightly:

“This must be determined. If he is not from the Jian Sect, I can teach him some kung fu. We will form a good relationship and see you again in the future. His talent and temperament make him worthy of me. But if he is not a Yishin Sword Sect, then this is one of them. "
"There are other reasons? >


Qin Zhenyang said in surprise.

Li Xingtuo nodded, his face looking a little solemn:

"Secondly, his luck is not normal. His past experiences are not like ordinary people at first glance, and he has other circumstances. I I checked today and found some clues. I don’t know how he got involved there..."

He looked out the window, his eyes seemed to penetrate the clouds and see into the distance.

Li Xingtuo shook his head and returned his attention to the document in front of him:

"Look again, your junior brother is destined to be anything but simple."

...

The heavy clouds are drifting, never leaving the main peak of Yunshan Mountain. The sun rises and the moon sets, and the green mountains stand motionless.

The new Qianlong list came out, was discussed enthusiastically, and then gradually lost its popularity;

Then an updated list was released after a while, and Xie Yuan was still in the 70th place as expected The two of them discussed again, and then stopped.

Xie Yuan didn't care about this, he was just a diligent disciple on Yun Mountain. He kept practicing on Yun Peak. Except for quietly going down the mountain twice to listen to the little princess playing the piano, he never even left Yun Peak. And Li Xingtuo also Didn't look for him again.

Three months have passed in this way. The weather on the mountain is always pleasant, Xie Yuan didn't realize it, but when he came down the mountain, he already felt a bit of autumn, and only then did he realize that midsummer had passed, and he didn't know the season for practice.

After a summer of hard training, Xie Yuan naturally gained a lot, most of which was reflected in the overall increase in numbers in front of him.

The oldest and most miraculous ability of chopping firewood has been passed through one-tenth of the way without even realizing it. If I had to rely on myself to chop with an axe, I'm afraid it would take ten years.

But as long as you move forward, the road is always under your feet, and the target is not moving in front, just waiting for him to pick it up.

The progress of the Golden Bell Shield is almost as expected. To transform again in the Second Transformation Realm, the amount of blood required is incredible. The precious medicine in the ancient ruins has long been used up, so I have to practice bit by bit. Fortunately, Xie Yuan's talent lies here, and even if he practices on his own, his progress will not be slow.

It was only when he felt the long journey to advance to the Third Transformation Realm - of course it was based on his own past; that he became more and more aware of how big the gap was between each realm, and he also knew that the Third Transformation Realm of Qi and Blood was not easy to achieve. . Although I really want to settle the score with Qiufeng Tower, before I break through to the Third Transformation Realm, it is better to run as far as possible when encountering a heaven-level assassin alone.

Re-cultivating physical skills, familiarizing yourself once and for all, and with your increased horizons and experience, your progress is like flying. That is to say, all the previous treasures have been exhausted, and there is no Azure Fruit that can increase his skill. Otherwise, Xie Yuan still has the confidence to directly advance to the next level.

Then the progress of other skills increased greatly. Yunlongbu, with his focused practice, directly broke through another level and reached the realm of Xiaocheng. After all, after more actual combat, Xie Yuan gradually discovered that body skills are just like being able to withstand a fight, sometimes even more important.

The remaining Yunlong Nine Styles and Yunshan Sword Intent have made steady progress. The combination of the two makes him the leader among swordsmen in the same realm; although his cultivation is not high in the second transformation realm, But the combat power cannot be underestimated.

If you are facing an enemy who uses a sword, such as an assassin of that level, you can even rely on his moves to defeat him, but no swordsman of the same level can survive for a long time. Against Xie Yuan, it would be better not to use swordsmanship.

Xie Yuan felt that his strength was growing steadily, which made him feel very satisfied.

Although there is no explosive breakthrough like taking the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, practice is like a drop of water passing through a stone. How can there always be waterfalls and torrents?

If you are used to the heavy rain in the sky, you may not be able to bear the loneliness of your own practice.

After summarizing his progress, Xie Yuan made some plans for his next practice. After making slight adjustments, he moved on to the next step of practice.

Jiangzhou.

Jinling Mansion.

On the bank of Qinhuai River, in a brothel of medium or small size.

A woman wearing a headscarf and a veil came upstairs.

Although she covered her face and her exposed eyes looked ordinary, her slim figure was still graceful, allowing the drunken drinker to hold one in his hand while thinking about it with the other. Reach over.

There was a click.

The drunk man's hand was suddenly dislocated before he could touch it. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, causing a commotion in most of the brothels.

The woman was unmoved and continued to walk to a hidden room in the corner of the corridor upstairs, knocking on the door rhythmically.

"Please come in."

A soft and charming voice came from inside.

The woman pushed the door open and closed it gently.

There was an old madam sitting in the room, she looked like a mature woman, but her charm surpassed all the women in the building, making the man's mouth go dry just looking at her.

But the woman looked at the woman closing the door, smiled slightly, and asked:

"Why are the guests so irritable? It affects our business."

The woman said softly:

“You are not in this business.”

The madam covered her mouth and smiled sweetly:

"Why would I open a brothel if I didn't do this?"

The woman looked at her quietly without saying a word.

The woman laughed for a while, feeling bored, and sighed:

"That's all, who introduced you here? What do you want to buy?"

The woman's eyes were calm, and she said softly:

"No one introduced me, I figured it out myself."

The woman's eyes narrowed, and she quietly put down her hand, still smiling as if nothing had happened:

"Oh? What kind of business does the guest want to do?"

"I want all your information..."

The woman said lightly:

"And your life."

Hearing the words, the woman giggled. When she opened her mouth and was about to say something, her palm suddenly turned over, revealing a dark hand. The dull dagger made a silent stroke forward; at the same time, she kicked the table over, leaned back, and flew backwards toward the window, trying to escape.

The woman just made a slight mistake and dodged the sword, and then watched quietly as the woman hit the window lattice and was bounced back.

A black light flashed on the window lattice, and then the entire room was locked in the dim light.

The woman's expression changed suddenly as she looked at the formation that had been formed at an unknown time.

She looked at the woman, her eyes flashed sharply, turned into a dim shadow, and rushed forward.

The woman looked at her quietly without any movement. Suddenly her figure became blurred and she disappeared from the place.

The woman suddenly stopped, with a look of fear on her back.

The door shook violently, and looking from the outside, there seemed to be a faint and terrifying force inside.

However, the brothel was noisy and chaotic, and no one noticed the strange situation in the corner room until the movement in the room subsided.

Business as usual.
