Day after day, month after month, Hu Mingxian never stopped.
Carrying a huge boulder to exercise the body, practicing the skills of using a knife on the way to the Rakshasa Flower Valley, enduring the attacks of sickle-clawed Rakshasa butterflies in the Rakshasa Flower Valley to practice sensing crises, and then returning to the hill to refine elixirs and carve formation patterns. And the meditation insights after each practice.
No matter day or night, no matter the wind, rain or snow, no matter the scorching sun and the heat, it comes over and over again.
The only time for rest is when black clouds will bring some monsters in their mouths every once in a while, and they can relax while grilling meat and eating meat. Hu Mingxian does not want to waste this little free time. Sometimes he is lost in thought, causing When the animal meat is burnt and burnt, Heiyun will howl in displeasure.
After three months of practice, Hu Mingxian added another practice, which is to hack, chop, stab, collapse, point, and chop in the basic sword skills, as well as further diagonal splits, straight thrusts, and Practice the basic knife skills extended by flat cuts and so on.
He would practice each sword technique at least a thousand times. For example, he would just stand on the top of the mountain and swing the sword to chop down. After at least a thousand times, he would practice the next 'chopping' until all the sword skills were cut. Practice all basic knife skills.
During this period, Hu Mingxian also asked Heiyun to bring a batch of spiritual crystals back to Hongdou Village for Luo Chenfeng and Lei Niu to practice. If Luo Chenfeng really decided to take the villagers out of the Sunset Mountains, the higher the cultivation level, the safer it would be. Naturally, the higher he is, the better he can convince Fenglei Zong. If he can't leave Hongdou Village, it doesn't matter. The stronger his cultivation is, the better he will be able to protect the villagers in the future.
In this kind of self-cultivation, Hu Mingxian was growing in all aspects, but in terms of alchemy, he had to face a problem, the weakening of the power of virtual reality and true flame.
Originally, the True Flame was used as a trump card to act in the capital of Gale Kingdom. During this period of alchemy practice, as well as the use of some in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Corpses before, it is now not enough to release the 'Phantom Fire Sky Burial' once, and it is almost enough. The remaining half of his strength is not even enough to support his alchemy practice for the rest of the time.
In this regard, Hu Mingxian was helpless and did not have time to personally look for the monsters with beast fire. He simply handed over this task to Hei Yun who was running around all day long and asked Hei Yun to help him pay attention to the monsters with beast fire. beast.
It's a pity that there has been no movement in just three months, so we can only wait slowly.
The years of cultivation are lonely, boring, and painful.
Holy martial arts practice is prevalent, and most warriors in the world focus on one's talent. Of course, this is correct, but if you can build on this foundation and pay more attention to your own perseverance and character, your future achievements will be higher.
No matter how powerful a person's talent is, if he does not have a strong heart and perseverance, his talent will eventually be exhausted and he will become mediocre.
And a person who has no talent, but has such a strong heart and strong perseverance, even if this kind of person does not have amazing talent, even the heights he can reach in the future are still expected.
There is no doubt that Hu Mingxian's talent is extraordinary, and he also has a strong heart and perseverance. There is no doubt about this. Being able to live alone in the virtual reality world for five years, it is not difficult to see one or two, the practice in the Sunset Mountains, It made him feel like he was back in the virtual world.
However, no matter who you are, if you want to maintain this strong heart and perseverance, or even reach a higher level, you need to have a clear goal as your motivation, to be precise, it is some kind of powerful obsession!
Whether it is the five years in the virtual reality world or the current practice in the Sunset Mountains, for Hu Mingxian, he has a clear goal that must be accomplished, and that is the biggest motivation for him to persist.
The enemies they are about to face are the royal family of the Gale Kingdom, the Qianyuan Sect behind them, and it is impossible to say that the Fenglei Sect and other sects will be involved. The future enemies are the Wuying Pavilion and the Wang Family of Zhongzhou, including those encountered along the way. Any opponent will be his motivation to become stronger.
Of course, the more important thing is Ji Linyue's resurrection. Only by staying strong all the way can he complete this thing, this must be done.
…
In the past three months, in Hongdou Village, Luo Chenfeng's cultivation level has also been steadily improving. Fifteen years ago, he was already at the peak of bone casting. What he lacks now is just spiritual power. With Hu Mingxian's spiritual power, With Jing's help, recovery will naturally be faster.
Now he has reached the third level of bone casting, Lei Xiaohua's cultivation has also reached the seventh level of qi training, and Dahu and Erzhuang are at the sixth level of qi training.
At the same time, Luo Chenfeng was also lobbying with the villagers in the village to leave the Sunset Mountains. However, everyone's opinions were not unified at present. Most people were worried about where and how they would live after leaving.
Although life in Hongdou Village is not rich, relying on the Cloud Blood Requiem Fruit, one can live a stable life as long as there is no beast tide. Once outside, there are too many things to face. After all, the ancestors of Hongdou Village were trying to escape those beasts. Just came to the mountains.
…
At the same time, something happened between the three great powers of Dafeng, Dayuan and Dayeng, which were far away in the horizon. Storms and undercurrents were surging due to an incident.
Almost at the time when Hu Mingxian entered the Sunset Mountains and began to practice, Lie Binglan, the proud daughter of Da Fengguo, awakened to the bloodline vision and had already reached the peak of the ninth level of blood coagulation, overcame the catastrophe in one fell swoop and stepped into the Bone Casting Realm. The story spread throughout the three major countries and all major sects.
If nothing unexpected happens, Lie Binglan will grow into a supreme Divine Soul Realm powerhouse in the future, and now, with the blessing of the bloodline vision, Lie Binglan already has the capital to fight against ordinary Divine Soul Realm powerhouses. , and it is this that is enough to threaten Dafeng and Dayuan.
Two months later, with the full support of Da Fengguo, Lie Binglan, who had stabilized his cultivation, took his cultivation to a higher level and was promoted to the second level of Bone Casting.
In the third month, what Dafeng and Dayuan were worried about still happened. Da Fengguo directly supported millions of troops and set off in three armies. At the same time, they marched towards the three major borders of Dafeng Kingdom. Among them, Lie Binglan personally led the middle route. The 600,000-strong army went directly north, passing through the cities of many small countries on the way, and forced them all the way to Qingyuan, a small country five hundred miles away from the Gale Border Pass to set up camp.
The Dafeng Border Pass five hundred miles away is called Yingxiong Pass. It was named after Luo Yingxiong, the second brother of Luo Lintian, the current emperor of Dafeng Kingdom, the second brother of Luo Chenfeng, and the son of Luo Linfei. It was also the place where Hu Mingxian left Hongdou Village for Dafeng Kingdom in the future. must pass through the pass.
However, Luo Yingxiong was sent to the border by his father's request. In order to prevent the emperor from leaving, the current prince has been withholding the border troops' pay and supplies, and also explicitly prohibited the border troops from exceeding one hundred thousand, so that since Luo Yingxiong arrived, Since Bian Guan took office, there are only more than 80,000 soldiers at Bian Guan. Facing the 600,000 troops led by Lie Binglan, they can only "shrink" in the city.
Fortunately, after Lie Binglan led his army to set up camp, he did not order an attack on Heroes Pass, and refused to see any envoys sent by Heroes Pass. This left the uninformed border officers and soldiers at a loss for a while. Monk Zhang Er still does not understand. Why did the proud daughter of the Gale Kingdom personally lead an army to invade the Gale Kingdom?
The only people who really knew about this were Luo Yingxiong and the members of the Luo family who were far away in the imperial capital.
There was no movement on the Hero Pass, but the other two border passes, Tianfeng Pass and Wufeng Pass, were lost one after another in the next two months.
Due to Lie Binglan's success in overcoming the disaster, the public opinion in the country of Da Feng was rising, and the morale of the three armies was greatly shaken. After breaking the two border passes, each of them defeated five cities in a row before suspending the offensive with Lie Binglan's military order. , stick to the city.
Looking at the three armies of Da Fengguo, their purpose is obvious. Once Lie Binglan starts to attack Hero Pass, it will be overwhelming. If Da Feng State cannot effectively stop Lie Binglan's army at the border, it is impossible to say that they will rush into the imperial capital in one fell swoop. , and then combined with the other two armies, the imperial capital of Fengguo will be in danger!
However, six months have passed since Lie Binglan settled down, and there has been no movement. What is even more surprising is that the Gale Kingdom has not sent an additional soldier to Hero Pass, and has not even reissued military pay. Not to mention the Yuan Kingdom, which is allied with the Gale Kingdom. It does not participate in the war or start a fight. It has a posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.
While many surrounding small countries were paying attention to when Lie Binglan would actually launch an attack, there was no peace in the imperial capital of Gale Kingdom.
Ever since the Huangji Soul-fixing Pill was given to Mr. Xiao of the Qianyuan Sect, Mr. Xiao's reaction was as expected by the Crown Prince Luo Yan. He did not appear in the imperial capital of the Gale Kingdom again, and even the third princess Luo Yan had no news.
As for whether Mr. Xiao and the three princesses returned to the sect or stayed in the Hero Pass, no one knows. However, Prince Luo Yan does not care about this, as long as the destruction of the third princess's dantian is not revealed by his father, Luo Lin. God just knows.
Of course, even if he knew, it didn't matter. He was just playing a role in his own game.
At first, the emperor Luo Lintian summoned Luo Yan for the first time to ask about the current situation of the three princesses, but Luo Yan put him off on the grounds that "Mr. Xiao took Yan'er back to the sect for retreat."
From then on, whenever Luo Lin wanted to summon the prince, it was Luo Cheng who came forward and told the emperor that the prince was in seclusion and could not meet the emperor.
Until a few months ago, Luo Lintian really missed this precious daughter so much that he planned to send someone to the Qianyuan Sect. After learning the news, Luo Cheng even took the initiative to ask for help and went to the Qianyuan Sect in person. Shi Ye truthfully told Luo Lintian that Mr. Xiao never returned to the sect.
Luo Lintian was originally furious when he learned the news, but Luo Cheng told Luo Lintian that the soul jade plaque set up by the Qianyuan Sect showed that Mr. Xiao was still alive, which made Luo Lintian's anger calm down a lot.
Moreover, Luo Cheng also expressed his determination that he would send someone to find Mr. Xiao and ask Mr. Xiao to bring Luo Yan back to see him. Not only that, Luo Cheng also interceded with the prince and did not want his father to worry, so he lied that Mr. Xiao was bringing Luo Yan with him. He returned to his sect and went into seclusion.
Afterwards, it happened that Da Fengguo raised his troops to invade, so Luo Lintian did not continue to delve deeper. It can be said that Da Fengguo's actions, coupled with Luo City's mediation, alleviated Luo Yan's situation to a certain extent.
However, after dealing with Luo Lintian, the Yuan Kingdom gave Luo City some headaches again.
Since Nangong Qingye's soul jade tablet collapsed, the Great Yuan Kingdom has successively sent countless envoys to the Gale Kingdom to ask for an explanation.
Whether it was a request to see the Crown Prince Luo Yan, a request to see the Emperor Lord Luo Lintian, or even a secret letter to the Emperor, they were all blocked by Luo Cheng using various means. Naturally, his teacher helped a lot. few.
So far, the envoys of the Great Yuan Kingdom have not been able to see the emperor and the prince of the Great Wind Kingdom, which also made the Great Yuan Kingdom very unhappy. This time the army of the Great Feng Kingdom invaded the Great Wind Kingdom, the Great Yuan Kingdom was also happy to see it happen. Even if Da Feng Kingdom finally lets Dayuan Kingdom send troops, it must give a perfect explanation regarding Nangong Qingye.
Although Prince Luo Yan was really in seclusion from beginning to end and never interfered with the three matters, he knew everything about the current situation and the goings-on in Luo City. However, Luo Yan did not have any influence on Luo City's actions. He was rewarded and treated as usual.
Among the three major countries, everyone in the situation has their own thoughts. Except for those who are familiar with it, no one knows when and how the situation will develop next...
