If we say that the martial arts practitioners in the academy headed by Mu Songfang, Shi Huai, Wang Shenglin and others are the tools that Shang Xia needs to be entrusted by Kou Chongxue to promote his martial arts concepts in the academy and establish a system that is different from the current martial arts inheritance system. If so, then Hai Yuanyuan is the disciple that Shang Xia really uses to pass on the mantle.
Because Hai Yuanyuan has been taught by Shang Xia since she was a child, it can be said that she has completely inherited Shang Xia's own martial arts ideas, instead of being influenced by the old martial arts ideas like Mu Songfang, Shi Huai, Wang Shenglin and others. Influence.
After Hai Yuanyuan entered the academy and began to practice martial arts, she soon successfully advanced to the Wuyuan Realm. Shang Xia called this realm the "One Yuan Realm".
Because the little girl was influenced by Shang Xia since she was a child, she admired Shang Xia extremely. After advancing to the One Yuan Realm, she practiced the same martial arts as Shang Xia had originally. "Thunder Blood Refining Technique" successfully developed the martial arts magical power "Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand", raising his cultivation level to the Great Perfection of One Yuan Realm.
Not long after that, the little girl successfully advanced to the Liangyi Realm. The advanced potion she took was the same "Qingzhuo Powder" as that of Shang Xia, and she also chose the same when practicing the Liangyi Realm martial arts. fencing.
After Hai Yuanyuan successfully entered the inner chamber, Shang Xia made a special trip to the outer world, selected two pieces of meteorite iron, and made a pair of high-quality jagged swords from the Qitang, which he gave to her as a birthday gift.
The little girl's talent for swordsmanship is already good. After receiving the pair of jagged swords presented by Shang Xia, she quickly became successful in understanding the long and short sword intent. She even vaguely began to transform the two pole sword intent. She even had magical powers. Done.
It was at this moment that Shang Xia suddenly intervened to prevent the little girl from further improving her cultivation. Instead, he suggested that she also practice other two-pole swordsmanship in order to understand the yin and yang of the two rites on a deeper level.
The little girl has always regarded Shang Xia as her teacher and father with great trust. After mastering the two poles of long and short swordsmanship, she also practiced the two poles of fast and slow, and was soon able to enter the palace again.
Now that Hai Yuanyuan has mastered the long and short, fast and slow swordsmanship to great perfection, and the internal students are about to go overseas to practice, Shang Xia finally no longer asks her to deliberately suppress her cultivation.
The little girl is also a smart person, and she immediately asked: "Uncle, you asked me not to blindly improve my cultivation before, is it because I have no overseas experience?"
Shang Xia smiled and said: "Since the two realms were merged into Youzhou, Youzhou has been peaceful in recent years. The so-called experience you Sanshe students have experienced in the past has only increased your knowledge by a few points. Only those warriors who have truly experienced fighting battles and completed their sublimation can go further and have a deeper foundation in the future!"
The little girl nodded in understanding, and Shang Xia stopped explaining too much when he saw this. Some truths can only be truly understood after experiencing them personally.
Shang Xia looked at the jagged swords in the little girl's hands and asked with a smile: "These swords are easy to use. Do you need me to find someone from the Qi Hall to upgrade their quality to a mid-grade weapon?"
The little girl quickly shook her head and said: "Uncle, no need. Being able to have such a pair of low-grade weapons has already made many people in the college envious. If you give me another pair of mid-grade weapons, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait. Overseas, many people will rob it."
When Shang Xia heard this, he immediately laughed "haha" and said, "I wonder which of them dares!"
Despite this, in fact Shang Xia's suggestion of upgrading her weapons was nothing more than a joke. However, the child himself could realize that a pair of weapons of too high quality would be a disaster rather than a blessing for her, which still made him feel Very gratified.
However, Shang Xia still took out two jade boxes and pushed them in front of her.
Hai Yuanyuan opened it and saw two stacks of martial talismans inside, a stack of second-level martial talismans with a total of six types and eighteen pieces, and a stack of third-level martial talismans with four types of twelve pieces in total.
When the little girl saw so many talismans, she hurriedly pushed the jade box back and said, "Uncle, no need. You have accumulated many talismans for me in the past."
Shang Xia smiled and said: "Keep it, these are all drawn casually by my uncle when he is practicing his brushwork. You can use it by yourself, or you can use it to help the classmates around you."
Having said this, Shang Xia smiled helplessly and said: "I originally wanted to give you some fourth-level talismans, but unfortunately with your current level of cultivation, you can't use them even if you have the fourth-level talismans."
Hearing this, the little girl could only silently put away these talismans that came from a fifth-level great talisman master. Even low-level talismans could make many talisman masters in the Talisman Hall jealous.
Next, the little girl asked for advice on the problems she had encountered during her recent practice. After Shang Xia answered these questions one by one, the two chatted for a while, and did not stop until Hai Min invited her uncle and nephew to have dinner. down.
After dinner, Hai Yuanyuan returned to her room to continue studying, while Shang Xia and Hai Min packed up the rice bowl, table and chairs together.
"Is it dangerous for Yuanyuan to go overseas this time?" Hai Min looked at Shang Xia seriously and asked.
Shang Xia took the packed dishes and chopsticks from her hands and whispered with a smile: "Don't worry, danger is inevitable, but it will definitely not really hurt her!"
"However, you can't tell her about this, otherwise the purpose of this experience will be in vain."
Hearing this, Hai Min breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "Of course I know this, why do you need to tell me?"
Shang Xia nodded hurriedly and said: "I almost forgot that the Sea Girl was one of the famous 'Eighteen Riders of Youyan'!"
Hai Min gave him a rare look and said, "Don't make mischief, and be careful that the children hear it!"
Shang Xia glanced at the little girl's room with some lingering fear, and then said seriously: "By the way, although you have not been diligent in practicing in recent years, your cultivation has now reached the late third level. Do you plan to go further? Are you preparing to advance to the fourth heaven?"
Hai Min glanced at him blankly, thought for a while and said, "Let nature take its course. I don't have many thoughts on the journey of cultivation."
Shang Xia nodded and said: "Understood, I will leave you a suitable spirit evil spirit of heaven and earth. You can try it when you think it is enough. As for the advanced potion..."
Hai Min interrupted: "You don't have to worry about advanced potions..."
After a pause, Haimin avoided his eyes and said, "My mother may come back from Jizhou in a while. I will discuss it with her then."
Shang Xia smiled and said, "Okay, I will listen to you!"
There was no words for a night, but the nightingale sang softly...
The next morning, Shang Xia had breakfast early and was ready to leave.
Hai Min was a little surprised and said, "You want to leave first? Don't you want to go to the academy with Yuanyuan?"
Shang Xia smiled and replied: "The people sent by the academy to Sanhe Island have returned. I need to go to Tianwai Qionglu. Today Yuanyuan will go to the academy by herself."
After saying that, Shang Xia disappeared into the small courtyard in a flash.
Hai Yuanyuan looked at the place where Shang Xia disappeared with envy.
Hai Min laughed at the side and said: "Silly boy, with your uncle's guidance, sooner or later you will be able to travel to the world like him."
Hai Yuanyuan turned around and asked Hai Min an irrelevant question: "Mom, do you think Aunt Wei's Xiao Zheng looks more and more like your uncle?"
"Wei Zheng?"
Hai Min was slightly startled, then realized the hidden meaning in her daughter's words, and scolded with a smile: "Little girl, what do you know? Stop thinking about it, go to the academy quickly, be careful not to be late."
Hai Yuanyuan made a face at her mother and hurriedly ran out of the courtyard.
After walking a few dozen feet westward along the street in front of the small courtyard, a familiar-looking carriage was parked in front of Wei Qiongyi's mansion.
Hai Yuanyuan turned her head and glanced slightly in surprise, but she saw the door of the mansion opened, and Wei Zheng, who was beaming with joy, ran out and jumped on the carriage.
When the carriage curtain lifted, Hai Yuanyuan happened to catch a glimpse of the person in the carriage being Shang Xi, his uncle Shang Xia's aunt.
"Aunt Xi, where will you take me to play today?"
"You little guy, didn't I tell you, don't call me aunt, call me 'aunt'."
"Hehe, Aunt Xi, where are you going today?"
"Go outside the city. My aunt has a manor outside the city. I will take you to see it today."
"Okay, okay, let's go outside the city...but we must come back before dark, otherwise my mother will definitely be unhappy if she finds out."
"Do not worry……"
The carriage started and quickly drove away.
Hai Yuanyuan is already fifteen or sixteen years old, so she already knows many things.
For example, Shang Xi is Shang Xia's biological aunt, and her own maternal grandfather and Shang Xi are cousins, then Shang Xia's father should be cousins. In other words, Shang Xia and her mother Haimin are actually They are cousins, so even calling Shang Xia "cousin" seems a bit far away.
However, due to the older generation, Haimin mother and son have always maintained a distance from the Shang family. Even after Shang Pei returned to the family, apart from their relationship with Shang Xia, Haimin mother and son did not have much contact with other Shang family members. Move around.
…………
On the sky outside Qionglu, Shang Xia did not pass by Tongyou Blessed Land, and his figure appeared directly outside the pavilion.
Since the opening of the Sanhe Island Trade Fair, except for the suspension due to the war three years ago, it has never been affected again. Even with the continuous improvement of trading methods, the continuous improvement of its reputation, and its special location in the void, As a result, more and more people are flocking to Sanhe Island.
The origin of the name of Sanhe Island was originally because the three major Dongtian Sects in Cangsheng Realm jointly organized it. Now, although there is a fourth largest Dongtian Sect in Cangsheng Realm, the name of Sanhe Island has not changed. The three fifth-level warriors in Hedao have now become four.
Except for these four fifth-level warriors from the four major Dongtian sects, no other fifth-level masters from Cangsheng Realm are allowed to land on the island.
The person who led the Tongyou Academy warriors to Sanhe Island to participate in the trade fair this time was Bu Jingshuang. This person is now one of the only elders of the same generation as Kou Chongxue in the entire Tongyou Academy. Although his cultivation has already He has been caught up or surpassed by Sun Haiwei, Chu Jia and other younger generations, but he still has a very high reputation in the entire academy.
"Nowadays, transactions of various Yuan Gang essences are becoming increasingly rare."
The moment he saw Shang Xia appear, Bu Jingshuang shook his head and sighed.
When Shang Xia heard this, the little expectation that had just filled his heart was suddenly extinguished.
The real peak period of Yuangang Essence and even the transactions between Heaven and Earth Yuangang was one or two years after the war three years ago.
At that time, major sects and fifth-level masters were actively trading inside and outside Sanhe Island in order to exchange for Yuan Gang Essence and Heaven and Earth Yuan Gang that were suitable for their own sect or themselves.
Tongyou Academy and Shang Xia also seized that opportunity and traded as much as possible the Yuangang Essence and Heaven and Earth Yuangang that were not related to the Five Elements.
The second natal Yuangang refined by Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo, and the ten kinds of Yuangang essence collected by Shang Xia, totaling twenty copies, were obtained from this.
