In the early morning, Liu Qingyan completed his daily ten thousand sword swings in the courtyard, put the wooden sword back into the storage bag, and turned back to the house to tidy up. He would have to go to the weapon refining hall to work in a while.
Two years ago, almost all the foundation-building monks from the five major sects who entered the secret realm were wiped out. Only two of them came out alive. Uncle Qin's Dantian was destroyed and his spiritual roots were damaged, making him a cripple. The elders of the sect tried their best and could not. Healing could only watch helplessly as this future pillar of the sect collapsed.
The eldest brother Xiao Qingyan was also seriously injured. His luck seemed to be better than that of Uncle Qin. He could continue to practice after recovering from his injuries. However, he had forgotten all the things before. From the moment he woke up, his old life had changed. It became a blank slate and everything had to be started over.
The two brightest new stars of the five sects in the past suffered heavy losses overnight. Xiao Qingyan, who had lost his memory, could not tell what happened in the secret realm. Qin Changze also lost his memory in the secret realm. Youshi The elders of the sect tried to use secret methods to explore their memories, but that memory seemed to have been erased out of thin air, with no trace at all. In desperation, the sect had to give up the investigation.
After Liu Qingyan got the news about his elder brother, he knew that he just lost his memory and could still practice in the future. He finally let go of what he had been worrying about. In this situation, he was much luckier than Master Qin.
As for the fact that his eldest brother would never remember him again, although Liu Qingyan felt uncomfortable in his heart, he still told himself that his eldest brother was his great benefactor. Even if he did not remember him, he would definitely repay him if he had the opportunity in the future.
Then, Liu Qingyan went to beg Manager Fang, who had been in contact with him, to let him become a handyman disciple of Mingyu Peak. In the future, without the help of his elder brother, he must continue to practice.
He must go on this path of seeking immortality no matter what!
Director Fang understood his situation very well, and indeed saw that he was pitiful. He also knew that he had not yet truly become a disciple of the Xuanyu Sect, so he accepted him. The sect's recruitment of handyman disciples was not as strict as the disciples of the outer sect, and Director Fang was a peak leader. The boss still has the ability to squeeze in a handyman disciple.
However, handyman disciples also have many inconveniences. In addition to having to bear many chores every day, which greatly shortens their training time, they can only get half a spiritual stone every month. The sect does not provide them until they enter the fourth level of Qi training. The technique was such that for two whole years, Liu Qingyan was still practicing using the Qi-Entraining Technique that Xiao Qingyan had originally taught him.
All cultivators must use the Qi-Entraining Technique to introduce Qi into the body at first. Therefore, although Liu Qingyan's cultivation speed in the past two years is not fast, he has done it steadily and has a very solid foundation. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
As for his monthly salary of half a spirit stone, he gave it to Manager Fang. In this world, if there is no benefit, who would help others for no reason!
If he hadn't promised to hand over his salary for the first two years to Director Fang, how could he have become a handyman disciple of Sword Sect Ming Yufeng so smoothly.
Nowadays, Liu Qingyan is no longer the kid who didn't understand anything two years ago. The best person he has ever met so far is still his eldest brother Xiao Qingyan. But even if he is the eldest brother, if he hadn't unintentionally helped him If you let him go, I'm afraid he won't be so kind to him later. This world is such a reality.
Liu Qingyan came to the place where the scraps were piled in the refining hall, took the basket and started sorting it. Some of the refining wastes could still be used, so they kept them. Those that were completely discarded were put into backpacks and carried to the back mountain and dumped under the cliff. .
He has been doing this job for the past two years, and because of this intensive chore work, his physical fitness has greatly improved.
Most of the Sword Sect monks are sword cultivators, and each peak has a weapon refining hall for disciples to refine flying swords, so Liu Qingyan's work never stops.
In the evening, when it was getting dark, he finished his day's work and went to the woods at the foot of the mountain, next to a courtyard where almost no one came, and sat cross-legged to meditate, absorbing the last rays of sunset.
This method he discovered by accident is extremely helpful in absorbing the metal spiritual energy. This short period of time is worth a day's worth of meditation.
Because of the discovery of this method, the cultivation speed of his handyman disciple with three spiritual roots was actually comparable to the cultivation speed of the ordinary outer disciples with four spiritual roots. There were very few handyman disciples with three spiritual roots and above, so they only thought that Liu Qingyan's cultivation speed is much faster than theirs because his spiritual roots are better than theirs.
They never imagined that because Liu Qingyan had given all his salary to Director Fang, he would still be practicing the Qi-Entraining Technique!
Generally, after a few months of salary, the handyman disciples will go to the market to buy an extremely cheap technique to practice. Even the cheapest technique can be practiced faster than the Qi-Entraining Technique.
If not, when would they be able to reach the fourth level of Qi training and get the skills donated by their masters!
One of the very important reasons why Liu Qingyan would try his best to stay in the Jianzong is that when the Jianzong first grants the disciples the skills, they will treat them equally. As long as the conditions for granting the skills are met, whether they are handyman disciples or elite disciples, they will be treated equally. You can enter the Library Pavilion to choose a technique. Liu Qingyan has been practicing the Qi Entrainment Technique for the past two years, and has not thought of ways to practice other techniques to speed up the practice. He is just waiting for the opportunity to enter the Library Pavilion to choose a technique.
He vaguely felt that the first skill he practiced should be chosen carefully, otherwise even if he gets better skills in the future, he would not be able to make up for this shortcoming.
This hunch is absolutely right. The first skill a practitioner practices is the basis for all future skills. If this first skill is too low-level, future training will inevitably be contaminated by the first skill. The bad habits caused by the law cannot be changed, which is a very fatal thing.
Why inner disciples and elite disciples of the sect practice faster than others, and it is much easier to advance in the future than others, is because the first technique they practice in life is the best one selected by their elders. But others don't have this fate.
Of course, the Qi-Entraining Technique, a formula that everyone needs to practice, is not included in this list. People like Liu Qingyan who just use the Qi-Entraining Technique and have reached the third level of Qi training are basically weird.
Just because he was practicing this method did not mean that he had not made efforts in other aspects.
After finishing her evening practice, Liu Qingyan walked to the front of the courtyard, raised her hand and knocked on the somewhat broken courtyard door, but as usual she heard no reply.
Liu Qingyan didn't take it seriously, pushed open the courtyard door and walked in. The man in the courtyard was still sitting in the corner with disheveled hair, his eyes staring blankly at the wooden sword in his hand.
Liu Qingyan said to the man: "Uncle Qin, I'm here to deliver dinner to you."
The man in the corner didn't move.
Qin Changze has been treating him with this attitude for the past year, and Liu Qingyan is used to it. He sits down next to him, takes out the prepared spiritual rabbit meat from the storage bag, and lights a fire in front of him. Soon, the scent of the spiritual rabbit meat in his hand came out.
Liu Qingyan handed the rabbit meat in his hand to Qin Changze who said nothing. Seeing him taking the rabbit meat and eating it one bite at a time, Liu Qingyan smiled with satisfaction.
Qin Changze has been placed in this courtyard since he became a disabled person. Because he has lost his cultivation, he needs food to satisfy his hunger.
After all, he was once a foundation-building monk, and his body has been strengthened. He doesn't need three meals a day like ordinary people, and he only needs one meal a day.
A year ago, the middle-aged handyman disciple who delivered meals to him finally couldn't hold on anymore and returned to his hometown to enjoy the blessings with his early stage of Qi training. No one was willing to take on this thankless job. Liu Qing Yan then took the initiative.
Those people thought that since Qin Changze was useless, he had no value anymore, but Liu Qingyan didn't think so.
What a arrogant person the original Immortal Qin was. Even if the talented monk of the Sword Sect became a useless person, couldn't he be able to guide him, a young monk in the early stage of Qi training?
Even if he really couldn't give any advice, just because he had come to save his elder brother, Liu Qingyan took over the task of delivering food to him every day, which was considered a reward.
If you want to get Qin Changze's guidance, it's not enough to be patient, you also need to have brains and strategies.
For the first six months, Liu Qingyan would practice swordsmanship in the yard after delivering meals every day, but Qin Changze never even raised his head.
Liu Qingyan was not someone who gave up easily. He practiced the basic swordsmanship in Qin Changze's courtyard every day. After more than half a year of practice, he felt that he had made some progress, but in Qin Changze's His eyes were full of holes.
Finally one day, Qin Changze was annoyed by his shameless skills. After he practiced a set of basic sword skills again, he said in a hoarse voice that he had not spoken for a long time, "Swing the sword ten thousand times a day."
Hearing those words, Liu Qingyan knew that his goal had been achieved. He just wanted to wear down Qin Changze until his patience was gone and he would give him pointers when he couldn't bear it anymore!
Since then, swinging the sword ten thousand times every morning has become Liu Qingyan's daily routine. It has been almost half a year now.
Seeing Qin Changze finish eating the rabbit meat, Liu Qingyan stood up and showed him the results of his sword swings. Seeing that he didn't say a word, Liu Qingyan knew that his temper was not yet up. These ten thousand sword swings every day It can’t be saved yet.
Although other disciples know that sword cultivation requires a solid foundation, they don't know how to lay the foundation. They only practice the sword skills they finally acquired with great difficulty every day. How do they know that they are fundamentally wrong? The basics of swinging a sword, if you don't practice basic swordsmanship to the extreme, how can you get the essence of swordsmanship in the future!
Only a person as smart as Liu Qingyan can think of a "master disciple" under the guidance of a master to give him guidance.
It is precisely because of his keen mind that he understands that in the process of cultivation, there are some places where shortcuts can be taken, but there are other places where one must be down-to-earth and take one step at a time, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
He has already made up his mind to continue on this path of seeking immortality, so he takes every step carefully to reduce future troubles!
