Chapter 531 Progress
On the exquisite tray, there are three silver ingots worth ten taels, two pills, and a token carved with lush trees.
The maid named Xiaocui said:
"These are not all gifts from the young lady. Miss Liu asked me to bring a blood-changing pill, and the twenty taels of silver were also increased to thirty taels."
"Zhou Huyuan, congratulations!"
"Thank you." Zhou Yi cupped his hands and reached out to take the tray.
"Huh?"
Xiaocui frowned, moved the tray slightly to avoid his movement, and said slowly:
"Don't worry, in addition, Miss Liu also asked me to send a message. Don't you want to hear it?"
"Uh..." Zhou Yi hesitated for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and with some pain, he took out two taels of silver from his body and handed it over:
"Thank you, Miss Xiaocui, I wonder what Miss Liu said?"
"Yeah."
Xiaocui took the silver skillfully, squeezed it in her hand, with a noncommittal expression on her face, put the silver away, put the tray down and said:
"Miss Liu said that there is nothing wrong with the Red Lotus Sect's blood-extracting pill, but its effectiveness is not as good as the blood-changing pill. It doesn't matter if Zhou Huyuan only uses it."
"Yes."
Zhou Yi felt relieved:
"Miss Xiaocui, please thank Miss Liu for me."
"That's right."
"I wonder how Mr. Liu Xiao and Liu Liu are doing?"
"Fortunately, it was discovered in time. After diagnosis and treatment by the Lin family's medical experts, the body was not completely destroyed, but it needs a period of rest." Miss Xiaocui said:
"The same surname is Liu, this one is really..."
She shook her head with disdain on her face.
As for the other person named Liu she was talking about, of course it was Liu Mengyan who had risen from a refugee to a handsome young master.
After watching the other party leave, Zhou Yi turned around and looked at the things on the table, his heart felt hot. He first picked up a piece of silver and bit it.
Don't let the joke be that money is an eyesore. It is actually his experience as a refugee that made him understand the importance of money.
certainly.
For Zhou Yi now, although money is important, it can barely be regarded as an 'external thing'. What is really important are the other two things.
Pills and tokens.
"I didn't expect that even a maid would have to take kickbacks. It seems that not everyone in the Lin family on the mountain is averse to the world."

When the second young lady comes down the mountain, everything in the manor will revolve around her.
Even if something happens or someone dies, it cannot disturb the second young lady's happiness. Everyone must wait patiently.
In the eyes of some people, it may not be as important as the loss of the second young lady's personal belongings.
In this way, Zhou Yi would have more time to practice without having to deal with Liu Zhen.
"Gulu..."
After the elixir entered his stomach, it immediately turned into a billowing stream of heat and surged throughout his body.
This flow of heat is far greater than that of the Qi and Blood Pill, and goes straight into the blood vessels. The Dingyang Pole is stimulated by this and spontaneously moves faster and faster.
at some point.
From quantitative change to qualitative change.
I thought that the blood transfusion would improve the progress, but I never expected that the first change would be in the skills.
Dingyang Stake: Proficient (1/100)
After breaking through the entry-level and advanced Dingyang Zhuan, the speed of circulating Qi and blood suddenly increased greatly, and the speed of absorbing medicinal power also doubled.
One day later.
Blood transfusion (16/100)
The power of the blood-transforming pill has not been exhausted. When exercising, one can still detect a strong potency hidden in the body.
Three days later.
Blood transfusion (20/100)
It was not until seven days later, when the blood transfusion progress reached twenty-four, that the potency of the medicine was considered weakened.
"Huh..."
On top of the rocks, Zhou Yi breathed out turbid air.
‘Taking the blood-transforming pill can increase more than one experience per day while the medicine lasts, with the largest increase on the first day. In this way, the blood-transforming pill can be completed without a hundred days. ’
‘A hundred days to build the foundation, I’m afraid it’s just that! ’
Thinking of this, he shook his head again.
The benefit of a hundred days of foundation building is not to complete the blood exchange in a short period of time, but to lay the foundation for future body training, and the blood exchange is secondary.
Moreover,
There is actually no possibility of replicating his situation.
Although the elixir is good, ordinary people cannot absorb it so quickly. It requires the Ding Yang Zhuan to reach a certain level.
Just imagine, who can practice Dingyang Zhuang in just a few months and reach the point where he can walk, sit, lie down, and even sleep soundly?
Even if it takes three to five years, it may not be possible.
At that time, even if the blood exchange was not complete, it was probably close to completion, and the so-called hundred-day foundation building was even more of a joke.
But...
"Others can't do it, but I can. With two blood-transforming pills, three blood-extracting pills, plus the assistance of Qi-blood pills, and a skilled Dingyang stake, I hope to complete the blood-transforming pill within half a year!"
With a firm mind, continue practicing.
…………
"Thin rope..."
The sound of clothes rubbing against leaves came, and the distance got closer and closer, which also made Zhou Yi, who was practicing on the rocks with his eyes closed, open his eyes.
Turn around and look in the direction of the sound.
"Who?"
"Wow!"
The leaves were shaking, and a man rushed out of the forest with a sword. When he saw him, he shouted loudly:
"Zhou Yi, was it you who killed Wang Baoxin?"
"Master Liu."
The person who came was unexpectedly Liu Xiao, who was said to be recuperating. Seeing the menacing approach, Zhou Yi had to stand up and reply:
"Wang Baoxin died in the hands of that Red Lotus Cult warrior. I only captured him without hurting his life. And even if he hadn't died at that time, Miss Liu would not let him go."
"You're not going to take your anger out on me because of this, are you?"
"So what?" Liu Xiao gritted his teeth:
"Wang Baoxin is my man, when will it be your turn to intervene and ask for a beating!"
As soon as the sound fell, he was already coming towards me with his sword.
The sword was shining brightly, but it was quite sharp.
Zhou Yi frowned, and casually pulled out the long knife on the side. He moved the sword and blocked all the incoming sword attacks. He stepped back continuously.
"Mr. Liu, you probably didn't tell Miss Liu when you came to me. Maybe you don't know the whole story. I can explain it."
"No need!"
Liu Xiao growled:
"I just want to teach you a lesson!"
"Whoosh!"
The sword light flickered, pointing towards the joints around Zhou Yi's body.
Dangyun Sword!
The sword moves lightly, and its moves are elegant and unrestrained. It is said to be from a female hero in Dang Yunjian. When it is used, it can be said to be beautiful and does not show murderous intent.
But if you underestimate it, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
This sword technique is unparalleled by the Splitting Wind Sword Technique. It integrates body techniques, movement strength, fists and kicks, and sword techniques. It is a truly superior martial art.
When taking action,
Pay attention to the hands like meteors, the eyes like lightning, the body like a swimming dragon, and the legs like arrows.
The moves never leave the opponent's vital points.
Moreover, although Liu Xiao is young, he has completed his blood exchange and advanced to skin refining. Now his skin and flesh are solid, his muscles and bones are strong, and he is stronger than Zhou Yi in terms of strength.
After only a moment of fighting, Zhou Yi, who kept giving in, was already in danger. His face gradually became gloomy, and he could not help but shout with anger:
"Master Liu, if you continue to make nonsense, don't blame Zhou for being rude!"
"You're welcome?"
Liu Xiao gritted his teeth and attacked with several swords:
"I want to see how you can be so rude?"
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yi hummed softly, and the long knife in his hand that was struggling to resist seemed to suddenly come to life. He opened his fangs and pounced towards the opponent.
The Splitting Wind Sword Technique comes from the army. It kills every step of the way on the battlefield. It never attacks after having no defense, and all its moves are offensive.
This time he showed his sharp edge and the sword flashed brightly.
Slashed from all sides!
Turn around and pick up the knife!
Sweeping thousands of armies!
……
The Splitting Wind Sword Technique, which is approaching the realm of Dacheng, was used by Zhou Yi. If it turned decay into magical power, the ordinary sword technique could perfectly cut through the incoming sword attacks.
Once they counterattacked, the situation was reversed instantly for both parties.
"Ding Ding...Dang Dang..."
"Peng!"
Zhou Yi slashed out with his sword, doubling his force from a high position. Liu Xiao hurriedly intercepted it, retreated involuntarily, and his defense collapsed.
"Is this all Mr. Liu is capable of?"
Zhou Yi was unyielding when he gained the upper hand. He pressed hard with his sword and said:
"With this little ability, I want Zhou to be good-looking. I don't know whether I should say that you are arrogant, or should I think of Zhou as being as miserable as you?"
"Superior swordsmanship?"
"Skin Refining Cultivation?"
"A hundred days to build the foundation?"
"So many good things fall into the hands of a waste. Unfortunately, waste is waste. No matter how much you have, it can't hold it up."
"Ah!"
Liu Xiao's eyes were red, he roared loudly, and the sword in his hand danced wildly:
"Shut up!"
"Shut up?" Zhou Yi snorted:
"I think it's you who should shut up!"
"I heard that Your Excellency has a blood feud, so you don't want to practice martial arts well, but you make your sister run around and have no peace."
"Ah!"
Liu Xiao roared, but was suppressed and kept retreating.
"What's it called?" Zhou Yi sounded disdainful:
"Can a loud voice change the fact that one is inferior to others?"
"They are stupid and incompetent people who don't know right from wrong, good from evil, right from wrong, and closeness. I'm afraid your sister will be worried about it and she won't be able to hold it up."
"Rely on you to get revenge, dream!"
"Peng!"
Amidst the loud noise, Zhou Yi slashed the long sword in Liu Xiao's hand with his knife, kicked him to the ground, and held the knife against his throat.
"Whoosh!"
The blade was piercing the bone, and Liu Xiao's body could not help but stiffen.
"Enough."
At this time, a voice full of grief and anger sounded:
"Zhou Huyuan, let him go."
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yi hummed softly, sheathed his sword and turned around, holding his hand towards the visitor:
"Miss Liu, Guard Liu."
But at some point, Liu Xinran and Liu Mengyan appeared nearby. Among them, Liu Xinran's beautiful eyes were filled with tears and her face was sad.
Knowing Liu Xiao's movements after leaving seclusion, Liu Xinran was shocked and angry. Her heart was full of hatred, and she hurried over for fear of an accident.
But when she saw Zhou Yi's unceremonious scolding and humiliation, she couldn't bear it, and she even complained about Zhou Yi.
No matter how unbearable he is, he is still his younger brother, how can he speak so harshly?
"Xiao'er..."
Liu Xinran opened her mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.
"Ah!"
Liu Xiao's expression changed, and he suddenly got up from the ground with a roar. He didn't care about the long sword and rushed towards the dense forest.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
"Xiao'er!"
Liu Xinran's expression changed drastically.
He knew that his younger brother was thin-skinned, so he thought he couldn't stand Zhou Yi's humiliation and was afraid that he would do something wrong impulsively, so he hurriedly chased after him.
"..."
Liu Mengyan stretched out his hand and saw the two people moving away from each other. He could only sigh helplessly, put down his hand and shook his head, then turned to look at Zhou Yi:
"Brother Zhou, we meet again."
"Liu Wei." Zhou Yi cupped his hand:
"As early as the day when the second young lady recruited refugees, I had already met Liu Guards. I was able to break through the barrier in one day, which is really enviable."
Different from Zhou Yi's guard, Liu Mengyan is the guard beside the second lady. Their treatment and status are not the same.
Moreover, Liu Mengyan seemed to be not only a guard, but also had a special status. Even the stewards of the Lin family showed respect when facing him.
It is said that a certain lady from the Lin family has taken a liking to him and may even get married to him.
But it's just a rumor, I don't know whether it's true or not.
"Haha..."
Liu Mengyan smiled and said:
"I'm really sorry, I didn't notice Brother Zhou at that time."
He is outspoken and has a cheerful and generous attitude. He does not make people feel arrogant, but is as relaxed and casual as a friend.
Coupled with his appearance and temperament, it's hard to dislike him.
"Brother Zhou."
After cupping his hands, Liu Mengyan said:
"I saw your sword skills when we fought with the Red Lotus Sect warrior that day. See you again today. It's really amazing."
"If you don't mind..."
"Shall we have sex?"
"Goodbye." Zhou Yi waved his hands repeatedly:
"Guard Liu, don't be ridiculous. Zhou's sword skills can't be compared to yours, and I haven't even completed the blood exchange yet."
"Brother Zhou, why should you be so humble?" Liu Mengyan said with a serious face:
"Liu Xiao, Mr. Liu's swordsmanship is also extremely good, but he has no power to fight back in front of Brother Zhou, and I am equally unsure."
"As for cultivation..."
"I just need to suppress my strength!"
As he spoke, he stretched his muscles and his eyes were filled with enthusiasm:
"Brother Zhou, I hope you won't refuse."
Uh...
Zhou Yi opened his mouth. This person seemed to be a martial arts fanatic. This kind of person was actually more pure. It was probably impossible not to agree.
"That's fine."
He nodded, holding the knife in his hand with a solemn expression:
"Please enlighten me!"
…………
The mountain breeze caressed them gently, and the two stood facing each other.
Zhou Yi held the sword in his hand, pointing the blade diagonally into the void. His energy and blood surged, and his energy and spirit condensed, giving him a feeling of a distant and distant mountain.
"Brother Liu, take the move!"
The sound falls.
Lunge forward.
There is a saying in the martial arts scriptures: Beating tens of thousands of people is not as good as one stabbing.
Regardless of whether it was a sword, a spear, a sword or a halberd, a slash would not be as lethal as a direct thrust. Any hole in the body would be fatal.
Zhou Yi's thrust was like a steeled spear that flew across the distance between the two people in an instant.
The strength, speed, and momentum are all strong.
"Okay!"
Liu Mengyan praised softly, then made a mistake with his foot. The long sword at his waist was unsheathed, and he avoided the incoming blade and struck at three points in the air.
Swallow wave style!
The swordsmanship he learned was called Shuiyun Sword Technique, which was personally taught by the eldest daughter of the Lin family. It was the best swordsmanship in the world and its power was extraordinary.
As soon as the opponent made a move, Zhou Yi felt chills all over his body, and his whole body felt like it was falling into a net of swords. The more he struggled, the more dangerous he became.
This is definitely not because of Liu Mengyan's level of swordsmanship, but because the swordsmanship he learned is extremely extraordinary, and every move contains many mysteries.
"Huh..."
Zhou Yi drank lightly and followed the knife with his body. He opened and closed the long knife widely, blocking the hard frame. The peak of the knife passed by like rolling melons and chopping vegetables endlessly.
Not to be outdone, Liu Mengyan faced him with his sword.
"Ding Ding...Dang Dang..."
One of the two was in an extraordinary realm, with the ability to turn simple cuts into magic, while the other had exquisite swordsmanship, and it was hard to tell the difference for a while.
"Careful!"
After fighting for a while, Liu Mengyan drank in a low voice.
Immediately, his body trembled, the sword in his hand trembled suddenly, a series of sword roars rang out, and the withered grass and leaves around him crackled.
It was as if a strong wind was surging or waves were sweeping over him. Even his clothes were swaying and trembling, like a big flag in the wind.
Just exerting force, can it have such power?
Zhou Yi could see clearly that the opponent did not use any force beyond blood exchange. He was able to unleash such power purely by relying on his swordsmanship. It was a sign of superior martial arts.
"Whoosh!"
The clouds are vast!
The sword light was like water and mist, flashing in the air.
"Ding..."
Zhou Yi's eyes shrank, the long knife flashed crazily in his hand, but he involuntarily stepped back, and then jumped upwards with a pebble on his toes.
The kite turns over and chops!
Climb the mountain!
Dacheng's mountain-climbing skills allowed him to walk on flat ground on terrain with huge ups and downs, and he was even more flexible than usual, and he was even more integrated with his sword skills.
This is the true transformation of decay into magic.
"Hmph!"
Liu Mengyan groaned and connected with his feet. He moved close to the ground like a bird, and at the same time launched a fierce attack in conjunction with his sword skills.
Not only does he possess top-notch sword skills, he also possesses superior body skills.
Seeing this, Zhou Jia chuckled, and instead of retreating, he advanced forward, spinning his long knife around his body, using the hidden knife, the lifting knife, and the square knife in a row.
The superior body skills and sword techniques collide head-on with Dacheng's mountain climbing and proficient wind-splitting sword techniques.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-dang..."
"Peng!"
In mid-air, long knives and swords intertwined, and the two of them turned back to attack at the same time.
"Ding..."
The tip of the knife collided with the tip of the sword.
The two landed at the same time, Zhou Yi fell back continuously, breathing heavily and sweating profusely; Liu Mengyan, on the other hand, was like a bird, landing silently and with a graceful posture.
"Sure enough."
Zhou Yi shook his head:
"I'm not as good as you!"
"No." Liu Mengyan shook his head gently, with complicated eyes:
"I lost."
At the last moment, in order to maintain the stalemate with Zhou Yi, he had already used the power that only a warrior could have, which was considered a cheat.
"Brother Zhou..."
Looking at Zhou Yi, Liu Mengyan put away his sword readily and handed it over in admiration:
"I admire Liu for being able to master the ordinary wind-splitting sword technique to this level!"
"In terms of martial arts and moves, I'm not as good as you!"
He admitted defeat generously, but he only admitted that his martial arts skills were inferior to others. If he really took action, he who was stronger in cultivation would definitely win.
"Just kidding."
Zhou Yi also understands this:
"Brother Liu should have broken through the skin refining process, right?"
"Not bad." Liu Mengyan nodded:
"Just a few days ago, I was lucky enough to step into Zang Refining."
Refining the internal organs!
Hearing this, Zhou Yi could only smile bitterly.
The other party's talent in cultivation is so talented that one can't even think of jealousy. Not long ago, he has already started practicing Zang.
But...
It's not like he doesn't have anything to be proud of.
The thoughts turn, and the sea of consciousness emerges.
Name: Zhou Yi
Age: 16
Blood transfusion (31/100)
Dingyang Stake: Proficient (1/100)
Splitting Wind Knife Technique: Dacheng (1/100)
Just now, when fighting with Liu Mengyan, he concentrated on the Splitting Wind Sword Technique and took the opportunity to break through, reaching the level of Dacheng. (End of chapter)
