Liu Qingyan originally planned to start practicing the Five Elements Body Refining Technique immediately, but thinking about Qin Changze, who was half a master with him, he decided to seek the advice of Uncle Qin first. After all, his swordsmanship was taught by Uncle Qin. It wouldn't be nice to tell you.
In the evening of this day, Liu Qingyan finished the task of the weapon refining hall as usual and came to Qin Changze's yard to deliver dinner to him.
Before leaving, he finally faced Qin Changze and said: "Uncle Qin, I accidentally broke through the fourth level of Qi training when I returned the day before yesterday. I went to the Zangshu Pavilion Kung Fu Hall to choose a technique yesterday, but this technique is a bit difficult to describe. "
Speaking of this, Liu Qingyan looked at Qin Changze and saw that he was still looking at the wooden sword in his hand, so he thought to himself: "This technique... is a physical training technique, but Qingyan was originally intended to be a sword As a cultivator, it is really hard to decide whether to practice this technique or not, so I would like to ask Master Qin to help me with the details."
After Liu Qingyan said these words, after waiting for a while, Qin Changze still didn't move. He sighed in his heart. It seemed that Master Qin really didn't want to care about this matter.
When she turned around and walked to the door of the courtyard, Liu Qingyan suddenly heard a hoarse voice saying: "One year, if you still can't master the sword energy in one year, then you can cultivate your body and practice your skills."
Liu Qingyan suddenly turned her head: "Uncle Qin..."
Seeing that Qin Changze still maintained his original posture, Liu Qingyan almost thought that he was hallucinating, but the words he just said entered his mind as they were.
Cultivation of sword energy in one year!
Sword Qi can only be cultivated by sword cultivators in the late stage of Qi training to the foundation stage. He is just a young monk who has not even entered the middle stage of Qi training. Does Master Qin have such high expectations for him?
Thinking that he was expected to be able to cultivate sword energy in the early stage of Qi training, Liu Qingyan's mood for changing to practice calmed down. One year, just one year, whether to cultivate the body or the sword, we will see the difference in one year!
"Okay, let's take it for one year. I hope Qingyan will not disappoint Master Qin's expectations by then!"
He didn't care whether Master Qin really had high expectations for him, as long as he implemented the matter with words, Master Qin would have to take care of his swordsmanship training in the next year even if he didn't want to. Take care!
Ten months later, while Liu Qingyan was working hard to cultivate his sword energy, news suddenly spread from the Sword Sect that True Lord Xuwei Qin Zhen was going to accept a disciple!
You must know that Zhenjun Xuwei has been a real genius since he entered the path of cultivation. He is extremely talented and is a mutant ice spirit root monk. He built a foundation at the age of twenty and formed an elixir at the age of fifty. He became a Nascent Soul when he reached 200 years old. True Lord, it is not known whether ordinary monks can advance to the golden elixir when they are two hundred years old, but True Lord Xuwei is already an ancestor who stands above all cultivators!
In addition to his extremely fast cultivation speed, Zhenjun Xuwei is also a sword cultivator. When he reaches the Great Perfection of Qi training, he can cultivate the sword intention that can only be cultivated in the golden elixir stage of ordinary sword cultivators. The stunts are so exquisite that everyone who sees them is impressed.
You must know that sword cultivation is notoriously difficult to advance in the world of cultivation, but Zhenjun Xuwei broke everyone's impression that sword cultivation is extremely difficult to advance. He quickly cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. At this speed of cultivation, only Xuan Yu Menhuan Zhaozhenjun Xiao Fuli is comparable to him.
In addition, Zhenjun Xuwei also has another characteristic, that is, his face, which is so handsome and beautiful!
When he first came to prominence, many female monks in the Golden Core and even the Nascent Soul stage fell in love with him. Unfortunately, True Monarch Xuwei grew up too fast. Before they could react, he had already become a Nascent Soul. Those golden elixir Jurchens back then may still be lingering in the golden elixir stage today.
Now that True Lord Xuwei is about to accept a disciple, all the monks of the Sword Sect are excited. True Lord has never accepted a disciple so far. If True Lord can be accepted as a disciple this time, he will be the chief disciple of Mingyu Peak!
However, the True Lord's requirements for his apprentices limited the number of monks who had the opportunity to compete to a very small range.
The first condition is that all Sword Sect disciples, whether inner disciples, outer disciples, or handyman disciples, can participate in the election, but elite disciples cannot. They all have masters, and it is impossible for Zhenjun Xuwei to seize the election. Disciples of others.
This condition is pretty good.
However, the second condition is that applicants must be under fifteen years old or over ten years old, and their cultivation level must be above the fourth level of Qi training.
The age limit is understandable. It is a good time to practice kendo when you are over ten years old. A true king cannot accept a little kid as his apprentice. You have to raise a child before teaching kendo. People over the age of fifteen have already formed their bones. It is difficult to achieve much by modifying other things.
But it also requires cultivation above the fourth level of Qi training, which is quite a trap.
For the handyman disciples, there are very few who have reached the fourth level of Qi training before the age of fifteen. It is still possible for the outer disciples, but most of the inner disciples can meet this requirement. From this point of view, Xu Wei The requirements of the True Lord seem to be specially designed for the disciples of the inner sect who are still young and have no master.
But among the outer disciples and handyman disciples who have met the requirements, who is willing to give up if there is even a glimmer of hope?
As soon as Liu Qingyan got the news, he ran to the courtyard where Qin Changze lived and said excitedly: "Uncle Qin, True Lord Xuwei is accepting a disciple, Qingyan is qualified to stand for election!"
Qin Changze suddenly raised his head, with a flash of light in his eyes, he stared straight at Liu Qingyan and said: "Go and participate, Qingyan, you must try your best. With your current swordsmanship, you have the strength!"
In so many years, this was the first time Qin Changze called his name, and it was also the first time he made such a huge affirmation of his achievements. Liu Qingyan felt hot in her heart and nodded heavily: "Uncle Qin, I will try my best. But for!"
The first level of the trial is to climb up a thousand steps. Most inner disciples and outer disciples have experienced this level when they first entered. Many handyman disciples have also experienced it, but they have not succeeded in climbing to the top. Disciple of handyman.
This time the difficulty is much higher than before.
Liu Qingyan asked Manager Fang to get him the identity of a handyman disciple, so he had not experienced this level.
When following everyone up the steps, all the spiritual energy in his body was suppressed, and everyone stood on the same starting line.
Liu Qingyan maintained a leisurely pace, conserving her strength while secretly observing the disciples in front of her.
He found that the disciples who were rushing at the front all slowed down when they reached two or three hundred steps. Some of them couldn't hold on and even fell down on the steps. They were immediately sent out of the trial venue by a white light, and they lost their ability and became virtual. An opportunity for Master Wei Zhen's disciples.
On the contrary, those disciples who were originally walking in the middle slowly surpassed the disciples in front and walked forward step by step. Liu Qingyan was one of them.
The further he walked, the pressure on his body increased exponentially. Every step he took was very difficult. From time to time, disciples in front and beside him gave up and were teleported away by white light.
Liu Qingyan gritted her teeth and told herself, hold on, hold on, or their fate will be yours too!
He was able to persist for so long, thanks to the fact that he wielded the sword thousands of times every day in the past few years. Swinging the sword not only exercised his patience and perseverance, but also improved his physical condition, so that he could stand out among the many inner sect disciples and outer sect disciples. Even though the disciples gave up one after another, they were getting closer to the top step by step!
There are three hundred levels left...two hundred levels...one hundred levels...
Liu Qingyan no longer had the intention to observe the positions of others. The pressure on his body was like a thousand pounds. He had to concentrate all his attention to prevent himself from falling. Damn it, he was almost out of breath...
No, you must not fall, Liu Qingyan thought in her heart as if hypnotized, if such a good opportunity is lost because he cannot persist, he will hate himself for the rest of his life!
Fifty levels, forty-nine, forty-eight...
Sweat soaked Liu Qingyan's clothes, and his whole body seemed to be fished out of the water. The young man, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, was under tremendous pressure, but he was not overwhelmed.
In front of a huge water mirror, the monk in blue with a frivolous smile said to the handsome but expressionless monk in white next to him: "Brother Xuwei, it seems that there are some good prospects this time, let you Caught up."
Qin Zhen's eyes did not move away from the water mirror, and he just said lightly: "Talk too much!"
The monk in blue smiled sarcastically. Suddenly, he pointed at the very thin boy who was the first to climb the thousand steps and said, "Senior brother, look, you can't even notice it if you don't look carefully. This boy is really good-looking!"
This time Qin Zhen simply ignored the monk in blue. He looked at the water mirror without saying a word. After the extremely thin boy climbed to the top first, a young boy with a faceless appearance but a determined look in his eyes soon climbed to the top. .
In front of the water mirror, a middle-aged monk with a fluttering beard caressed the long beard under his chin and smiled: "Xu Xuan, please don't disturb Uncle Xu Wei. The one you want to accept now is his first disciple. You have to look carefully."
"Senior Brother Xu Heng, please stop pretending. Everyone in the Sword Sect knows that you, Master Xu Heng, love to watch the excitement the most?" Xu Xuan in blue curled her lips.
Xu Wei, Xu Xuan and Xu Heng were brothers of the same generation, but Xu Wei advanced too quickly and soon entered the Nascent Soul stage, and became the uncle of these fellow brothers. Xu Xuan is a very casual person. He has a good relationship with Xu Wei, so he has never changed his tune, and now he calls Xu Wei his senior brother.
After Liu Qingyan climbed to the top of the thousand steps, her vision became blurry and she almost fainted...
The scene in front of him changed. There was a thatched house, an old desk, and an old man with white beard and hair. The little Liu Qingyan sat on his grandfather's lap, listening to his grandfather's stories about flying into the sky, escaping from the earth, and killing monsters with relish.
Although something felt wrong, Liu Qingyan was extremely happy to be held in his arms by his grandfather. He listened very carefully and asked some strange questions from time to time. Grandpa answered each question in detail, but he had a vague feeling , I would not have known these things originally.
