Bixiu Peak, the courtyard where Nangong Xiu’s family is located.
Lu Duofu was beaten first today, and then beaten almost to death. His physical strength and energy were exhausted. Nangong Xiu fell asleep on the way to bring him back, and he still hasn't woken up yet.
"How is it?" Bai Yunxi asked, with a bit of anxiety and concern in his voice.
"It's a bit weird!" Nangong Xiu withdrew his hand, frowned and said, "Come and take a look!"
"Mysterious, what's wrong?" Bai Yuxi put her hand on Lu Duofu's pulse gate, and then said calmly: "The breath is unstable. It's because of internal injuries, but it's not serious. It will be fine after taking medicine for two days. !”
"That's not what I'm talking about. Take a closer look." Nangong Xiu was usually calm, but now his face was strange and he couldn't hide his excitement.
"This is indeed an internal injury. Are you too careful... Hey! Is this...spiritual power?" Bai Yunxi's beautiful face became solemn, and she was also confused.
Nangong Yue came over and said, "Dad, Mom, what are you talking about? What kind of spiritual power?" Lu Duofu was beaten and vomited blood before, and she was really worried. Now she heard that it was just a minor internal injury, and the sadness on his fair face disappeared, replaced by A hint of joy makes her look more youthful, beautiful, and cute.
Baiyunxi explored again and said with confidence: "Yes, Duofu has spiritual power in his body, and he seems to have reached the third level of martial arts cultivation."
"Ah, how could it be? Isn't it true that he can't practice?" This was so outrageous that it was definitely the biggest surprise for the three of them. Nangong Yue couldn't help but exclaimed.
"You have to ask him personally." Bai Yunxi withdrew his hand and said happily: "This little lucky boy is always so unexpected, but he was born with no pulse. How did he do it?"
Probably because a few people were excited, they spoke a little too loudly, and Lu Duofu was awakened.
"You little lucky boy, when did you develop spiritual power? Tell me quickly!" Nangong Yue pinched his cheek and said fiercely: "You even managed to hide it from me. Let's see how I deal with you."
"Yue'er, Xiao Fuzi is still injured, please be gentler." Baiyunxi rolled his eyes at Nangong Yue and said, "You are still frizzy for such a big person."
Nangong Yue stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "Xiao Fuzi, I'm sorry, senior sister is too excited."
Lu Duofu sat up and said, "Senior sister, I'm fine, it's just a minor injury." He knew that he could no longer hide the matter of cultivation from his master and his wife, so he told the truth.
…
"Hahaha, that's it. You are a prodigy. You are worthy of being my disciple. 'Boundless Sea', well, this technique is very amazing. It is a perfect match for your pulseless breath. With this technique, your cultivation speed can be greatly improved." A huge improvement, far beyond ordinary people." Nangong Xiu smiled from ear to ear, looked at his wife and daughter proudly and said, "Look at how awesome my apprentice is."
Bai Yunxi curled her lips: "Let's see what you can do. Xiao Fuzi is not yours alone. I am still his wife! I like this kid from the bottom of my heart. Don't think about being greedy for credit alone."
Nangong Yue echoed: "That's right, I'm still his senior sister! Besides, Xiao Fuzi is the closest to me on weekdays. Am I proud?" Nangong Yue looked sullen. Nangong Yue then approached Lu Duofu and said, "Xiao Fuzi, dad said your self-created technique is very powerful, so I want to learn it too. How about it, can you teach me the teacher sister?"
Nangong Xiu shook his head: "Yueer, don't mess around. Although the technique is strange in conception and amazingly efficient, it must be practiced with the pulseless breath, and ordinary people cannot touch it."
Indeed, "The Infinite Sea" is a technique that Lu Duofu racked his brains to come up with based on pulseless breath. Its cultivation method perfectly fits the pulseless breath, and the pulseless breath can only be practiced by people with no pulse, which means that "Boundless Sea" is destined to have no chance with ordinary people.
After Nangong Xiu's explanation, although Nangong Yue coveted this technique, she could only give up.
"Master, but I still can't practice martial arts now, and my practice is very slow." Lu Duofu was not proud, and there was a bit of helplessness in his voice.
Nangong Xiu nodded, Lu Duofu's weird physique was really frustrating. He pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "We are all deeply gratified that you are so enterprising. You were born weak. I can't blame you. It seems that you can only practice hard. When you recover from your injury, I will give you personal guidance." Temper your physical body. As for martial arts, you can only master them yourself."
"Dad," Nangong Yue interjected: "Didn't Xiao Fuzi help us win the high-grade elixir today? We still have five pills left, and I want to give them all to Xiao Fuzi." Nangong Yue really did it for Lu Duofu. , willing to give up anything. This high-grade small elixir was an extremely rare item for the Yunyin Sect, so Nangong Yue gave it all to Lu Duofu without blinking an eye.
Lu Duofu felt warm in his heart, but his mind was clear: "Senior sister..."
"No!" Lu Duofu was about to refuse, but Nangong Xiu said categorically. Seeing that both Bai Yunxi and Nangong Yue were puzzled, Nangong Xiu continued: "It's hard to say whether the high-grade Xiaoling Pill will have any effect on Duofu. Even if it is effective, it will only harm him. Remember, Duofu cannot take any pills that can help increase his spiritual power, unless Duofu one day practices advanced body-building techniques."
These small elixirs are very good for warriors in the martial arts realm. Why can't they be used? Nangong Yue's pretty face turned pale and she asked curiously: "Dad, why is this?"
"Duofu Juemui, his physique is different from that of ordinary people. Xiaolingdan elixirs are refined based on ordinary people's physiques. It is not yet clear whether they are suitable for Duofu." Nangong Xiu sighed, and his voice became deeper. : "Furthermore, during the cultivation process, the strength of the body must match the level of spiritual power, otherwise the physical body will explode and die due to being unable to withstand the sudden increase in spiritual power. Duofu's current body is too weak, and the strength of the body It cannot keep up with the speed of spiritual power cultivation. High-grade Xiaoling Dan contains a lot of spiritual power. If you give Duofu a high-grade Xiaoling Dan, it will be like destroying the potential."
Nangong Yue was still frightened: "So that's it." Fortunately, Nangong Xiu said it. Otherwise, Nangong Yue might really give Lu Duofu all the high-grade elixirs, and the consequences would be disastrous. Lu Duofu also broke out in a cold sweat. If he didn't understand this principle today, he would take medicine to improve his cultivation someday. What if he took the wrong medicine?
"But if that's the case, isn't Xiao Fuzi very pitiful? He has to rely on himself for everything." Baiyun Xi said quietly, with a little more sparkle in his beautiful eyes.
Born with a dead pulse, he was finally able to cultivate, but as a result, he couldn't use ordinary people's martial arts and martial arts. In the end, even pills were taboo. To sum up, the path of cultivation is very difficult and you have to rely on yourself for everything.
This was an unacceptable fact. Nangong Xiu sighed and was speechless for a long time.
Minor internal injuries healed easily. After that, Lu Duofu ushered in an extremely difficult but happy time. Nangong Xiu personally instructed Lu Duofu to practice, of course, mainly physical training.
A month later, on the winding road at Bixiu Peak of Yunyin Mountain.
"Pa", the wicker in Nangong Yue's hand hit Lu Duofu's calf. The pain made him grit his teeth, but he burst out with strength and stepped forward with all his strength. "Hurry up, Xiao Fuzi, there are five more trips today!"
This is just a microcosm of Lu Duofu's exercise. The first plan Nangong Xiu made for him was to carry water up the mountain every day. Two wooden barrels cannot be used as poles. Hold the barrels with your bare hands and carry them flat with your arms, and carry them back to the top of the mountain along the steps from the Baishui River at the foot of the mountain. The difficulty of carrying water up a mountain with a weak body can be imagined. Lu Duofu was struggling. The first three days were three dan per day, and then gradually increased to 30 dan per day, and the barrels became larger and larger.
At the beginning, Lu Duofu was so tired that he fell down and couldn't stand up. But a smart person will always find a way. With persistence day after day, he actually figured out how to use spiritual power. His strength became much stronger, and it was not so strenuous to carry a large bucket of water. He also figured out a set of steps. Fa, named Yue Yingbu, because when he was carrying water, Nangong Yue would follow him like a shadow to draw wickers at any time. With the Moon Shadow Step, you can walk quickly while carrying water.
Later, I no longer felt tired from carrying water. Nangong Xiu made a second plan for him - to be beaten. He used a rope to hang up a sandbag and continued to hit Lu Duofu all over his body. It started with a few dozen kilograms, and then increased to hundreds of kilograms. The sand was also replaced with gravel, then stones, bricks, and finally hit directly with wooden pillars. In the process of being beaten repeatedly, Lu Duofu tried to use his spiritual power to resist the damage. As his spiritual power became more and more profound, Lu Duofu clearly felt that his spiritual power had been poured into his whole body. When he was beaten, he no longer needed to use it deliberately. His spiritual power was like a natural barrier, spontaneously resisting harm to his body.
The last plan was to get beaten, but the targets of violence were changed from bricks and stones to people, and the first sparring partner was Nangong Yue. The two people pointed their wooden swords, Nangong Yue was the main attacker, and Lu Duofu was the main defense. Lu Duofu had no actual combat experience, so he was no match for him. He was beaten with bruises and swelling every time and had to take painkillers every night. But Nangong Yue really felt sorry for Lu Duofu, and after beating him several times, she was no longer willing to do it. There was no other way, Nangong Xiu could only call other disciples.
Although Lu Duofu is no longer a waste, other disciples are not as gentle to him as Nangong Yue. Lu Duofu, who was beaten with wooden swords and sticks, complained endlessly. Later, he simply changed his weapon to a bladeless sword. Lu Duofu couldn't remember how many times his bones were broken. Fortunately, the most important thing that the martial arts sect does not lack is the healing medicine to restore the vitality of the bones. For this level of internal and external injuries, even the lowest level of elixirs could allow Lu Duofu to recover within two or three days.
As for meals, Baiyunxi spared no effort to work on Lu Duofu, making various nourishing things for the body and adding them to Lu Duofu's three meals a day. He moved more and ate more. After two months, Lu Duofu became stronger.
After being beaten for several months, Lu Duofu's physical body had undergone tremendous enhancement that was visible to the naked eye. His spiritual power cultivation has also made great progress, reaching the peak of the fifth level of martial arts cultivation. During the long years of being beaten, he taught himself without a teacher and created a set of sword martial arts called "Duofu Sword Style". At the same time, the Moon Shadow Step has also been innovative. It is no longer just for running with a load, but can be used in conjunction with martial arts in actual combat.
Because Nangong Yue had taken five high-grade small elixirs, her cultivation had reached the second level of the martial arts realm, making her the youngest martial arts master in the history of Yunyin Sect. Gai Guang also broke through to the martial arts realm a few days ago because he took a high-grade small elixir. Yunyinmen suddenly had two young martial master-level disciples, and their future was bright. Nangong Xiu was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several days.
According to Nangong Xiu's plan, he wanted to officially accept Lu Duofu as a true disciple on the day he broke through to the martial arts realm. Lu Duofu naturally didn't want to live up to Nangong Xiu's expectations, so he practiced diligently every day.
During the training period, Old Man Mu came out of the Sutra Pavilion to see Lu Duofu several times for the first time. After Old Man Mu found out that Lu Duofu had found the Pulseless Breath through Yun Ao's Notes, he was amazed and praised Long Aotian for his greatness. Later, when he learned that Lu Duofu could actually create his own exercises to practice, he was even more shocked and even called him a fearsome person. Old Man Mu came to visit Lu Duofu several times in the future, and every time he had to give advice and discuss things.
