Jiang Yujin was half-kneeling in the yard, pressing the handle of the knife with both hands to support her body. The blade of the knife continued to tremble with her arms. She was swallowed up of all the energy, but Sun Zikai asked her to continue dancing with the knife.
Jiang Yujin has a tenacious personality. She struggled to hold herself up, and finally managed to squeeze out a little more strength, which she used to lift the knife. As soon as the tip of the knife was an inch off the ground, she immediately stabbed it down.
Sun Zikai was not polite and urged: "If you don't come, I will beat you, really beat you."
"Don't be... arrogant..." Jiang Yujin said feebly. She pondered for a moment, and then stabbed with the knife, but she didn't have enough strength, so she only relied on the inertia of the dump to rush forward.
Sun Zikai pointed at Jiang Yujin's shoulder, causing a wave of air to push him back ten steps. Sun Zikai quickly followed and touched all the acupoints with just his hand. Different acupuncture points gave Jiang Yujin different reactions. Some are extremely painful, some are unbearably itchy, and even half of their body is paralyzed with one finger.
"Hurry up! Try to squeeze out some strength!" Sun Zikai's attacks became harder and harder. Jiang Yujin could squeeze out some strength every once in a while, but it was quickly swallowed up.
She almost kept falling down, but Sun Zikai kept pushing her up.
Jiang Yujin was in extreme pain, and her strong faith supported her to hold the handle of the knife again.
At this moment, Sun Zikai suddenly shot a stream of energy into her body. After a long drought, Jiang Yujin felt the flow of that energy stream with all her concentration. She squeezed out wisps of strength and desperately grabbed the energy stream.
Sun Zikai curled his lips, and then injected energy streams into his body one after another. Jiang Yujin's "strength" subtly restored its energy source, and the energy streams converged into a "river", and Sun Zikai poured into his body again. "Sea".
The huge amount of energy was about to burst her body. Jiang Yujin subconsciously drew her knife and struck at Sun Zikai.
Sun Zikai took six steps back, and Jiang Yujin's blade cut out a series of light blades made of energy.
Jiang Yujin tried his best to chop, but Sun Zikai could only resist with his hands. This lasted for half an hour. Finally, all the energy gathered at the tip of the knife. Jiang Yujin rushed forward and stabbed, but was caught by Sun Zikai's two fingers. The energy removed was in the knife. Both sides exploded, shattering the water tank in the courtyard.
Water was sprinkled in the courtyard and poured on the heads of the two of them. Jiang Yujin was panting, but her body was full of strength. When she felt herself again, she could actually feel where the energy was.
Sun Zikai immediately taught her the principles of acupuncture points and helped her figure out the energy veins in the human body in half a day. From then on, she completely figured out where the energy was.
But unlike Sun Zikai's realm, she didn't have the energy path, but only achieved the initial level of energy use and perception. Even so, she was far ahead of others.
But the embarrassing thing is that, at least in this area, there is no energy technique at all. Therefore, although she has the way of energy, she must learn all the techniques by herself. Sun Zikai can still do this, but it is too much for Jiang Yujin. It was harsh, so she could only focus on spiritual energy cultivation.
It took another half a day for Sun Zikai to teach Jiang Yujin the earth-binding technique of energy. In the evening, it began to drizzle.
Accompanied by the delicate sound of rain, night fell. There were clouds in the sky and no stars or moon could be seen. Sun Zikai lit a lamp under the eaves at the door, and the weak firelight swayed in the slow sound of rain.
He sat on the edge of the pit and made an energy ring. He made a large number of stones and covered the bottom and inner walls of the pit. He then made a circle around the outside of the pit to create the appearance of the large pond.
As water continued to pour in, Sun Zikai stretched out his hand, and water kept accumulating in his palm. He continuously decomposed a water droplet into the initial energy knot, and then formed an energy ring to create a special gravity, which spontaneously drove the surrounding energy to "knot" into Water also consumed Sun Zikai's energy during this period.
The water quickly filled the pool, and Sun Zikai put his legs under the water and sat quietly in the rain.
A paper umbrella was placed over his head. Jiang Yujin squatted down and said, "Isn't it cold?"
"not cold."
"What are you thinking about?"
"I miss my parents."
Jiang Yujin also sat down after hearing this. The rain was lapping on the umbrella. The two sat cuddling each other for a long time until the wind started to blow, and then they returned to the house.
It rained continuously for three days and three nights.
In the early morning, Jiang Yujin woke up, put on her clothes, and opened the door. The sound of rain rustled on the outer door, and the door of the west room was still closed. She called twice, but got no response. She returned to the house, and suddenly walked to the door and sensed the energy of the West Room. Only then did she realize that Sun Zikai was not in the house and must have gone out early.
Sun Zikai crossed the Xianyuan High Bridge in the rain and came to the west of the sect. However, as soon as he got off the bridge, he was stopped by a figure.
Fu Zhe did not hold an umbrella, but the rain did not fall on him. Fu Zhe asked: "What are you doing here? Outer disciples are not allowed to enter the inner sect except to go to Manqian Tower."
Sun Zikai asked back: "Are you from the Ma family?"
This question surprised Fu Zhe, but after hesitating for a moment, he still replied: "No."
Invisible air flow surrounded Sun Zikai. Sun Zikai asked again, but Fu Zhe still gave the same answer.
Sun Zikai then asked: "Do you hate the Ma family?"
Fu Zhe frowned slightly and said coldly: "This is not something you should care about. Go back and do what you should do."
"Hey... I want to enter the inner door. Is there any way?"
"If you want to enter the inner sect, you must at least reach the Qi training stage. You are not qualified."
"Oh? Is that so?" Sun Zikai stood calmly, and his own realm began to rise, reaching the second level, third level of Qi Condensation...all the way to the seventh level, without any pause, and his state stabilized at the first level of Qi Lianning.
The rain fell quietly, and Fu Zhe took a deep breath of cold air. He suppressed his emotions, but the uneasiness on his face still betrayed him.
Sun Zikai said calmly: "Am I qualified to enter?"
He was so qualified. Fu Zhe really wanted to say this, but he couldn't. It seemed that what he was most worried about was about to happen. This guy was indeed a devil.
"Whether we will let you into the inner gate or not requires multiple inspections. You can go back and stay in peace." Fu Zhe said.
Sun Zikai exposed him mercilessly and said: "You lied, I am obviously qualified to enter."
The invisible air current, which only Sun Zikai could see, exposed Fu Zhe's emotional fluctuations.
Fu Zhe said sternly: "Whether the sect will accept you or not is not something you can take for granted."
Sun Zikai was silent for a moment, then said indifferently, turned around in the drizzle, and walked towards Gaoqiao.
"Wait a minute." Fu Zhe stopped him. He couldn't bear the confusion, so he asked, "How did you do that just now?"
Sun Zikai did not lie, and turned around and said: "My way of cultivation has always been to enlighten myself, so it is different from the orthodox ones like you. Reiki...in my opinion, there is nothing powerful."
After that, he walked back to the bridge...
An hour later, Fu Zhe and Wu Lanmu came to Anshengju again.
The two of them still didn't enter the house. Fu Zhe was only a little bit in the air, so no rain could fall into the yard. When the two arrived, they directly stated their intention. They were actually here to take Sun Zikai as their disciple.
Fu Zhe's last question in front of the bridge made him quickly understand one thing. Even if he let Sun Zikai stay in the outer gate for the rest of his life, with that guy's understanding, he would probably realize the evil way and grow into a overlord.
Therefore, there are only two ways before him. One is to stop the loss immediately and expel or kill Sun Zikai. The other is to preach and teach and cultivate his mind with the right way. One day, he may become a giant. At that time, he still has righteous thoughts in his heart. , and will not cause harm to the world.
In fact, there is another reason. Sun Zikai's name was revealed by Feng Yueyi to everyone present in the black forest of Xianyuan, and every sect has a Ma family.
The Ma family has a lot of power and is good at cultivating minions. They will recruit the best among the new disciples every year. Moreover, they spend a lot of money and do not regard good or evil. Anyone who can be used for martial arts will be brought under their tutelage. Over time, they have captured half of the sect's territory. The Ma family will definitely not let go of a guy like Sun Zikai who can catch eight hundred charming rabbits alive with half a stick of incense, and who can advance from the first level of Qi condensation to the first level of Qi training.
If this "evil thing" gets into the hands of the Ma family, the consequences will be disastrous.
Fu Zhe still had murderous intentions, but he still discussed it with Wu Lanmu first, but the discussion failed and they argued for an hour. Wu Lanmu firmly opposed Fu Zhe harming Sun Zikai and decided to recruit a disciple himself. However, Fu Zhe knew Wu Lanmu's temper well, and asking her to teach Sun Zikai was no different from sending Sun Zikai to the Ma family. After some debate, Fu Zhe gave up killing him. I thought about it and decided to educate the child myself.
Sun Zikai asked, "Can I also accept her as my disciple?"
Wu Lanmu looked at Jiang Yujin and said: "Her level is too low and it is too late for her cultivation."
"There is a morning and a night to practice." Sun Zikai didn't understand very much, so he whispered a few words in Jiang Yujin's ear.
Jiang Yujin meditated on the ground and gathered the aura of heaven and earth. In fact, she was gathering energy, and the energy dragged the aura of heaven and earth into her body. This greatly increased the speed at which she could gather aura. In a matter of tens of breaths, she could reach two levels. , and also reached the stage of Qi training.
Even so, Wu Lanmu still couldn't get into Wu Lanmu's eyes. After all, her little disciple Feng Yueyi was only nine years old and already at the second level of Qi training.
Just when Sun Zikai was about to plead for mercy, Jiang Yujin said, "Two gentlemen, I already have a teacher I long for in my heart, so it is not convenient for me to become your disciple."
Sun Zikai wondered: "Who? Me?"
"Bah, of course not you."
"Who else but me?"
As soon as they finished speaking, two people walked into the door, which surprised Fu Zhe and Wu Lanmu. They were none other than the 35-year-old Hu Xincheng, the leader of the Qi sect, and his 13-year-old disciple Gao Yang.
Wu Lanmu asked in confusion: "Brother Cheng, why are you here?"
Fu Zhe also called Brother Cheng, but Hu Xincheng was not sociable, so he did not respond. He walked directly in front of Jiang Yujin and said, "How is your practice?"
"Already practiced." Jiang Yujin replied.
Sun Zikai was confused and didn't know who the man in front of him was. Apart from himself, had Jiang Yujin seen anyone else?
Jiang Yujin immediately drew out the sword and danced a set of sword skills. With the blessing of footwork, the sword skills became shadowy, and the sword moves were completed in one go, crisp and clean.
Wu Lanmu was shocked and said: "What kind of footwork is this? Brother Cheng, are you new to it?"
Sun Zikai was also puzzled. He had never seen this kind of footwork before. It was not Feng Xingwu.
Jiang Yujin briefly explained. It turned out that when Sun Zikai went to Xianyuan to practice every night, Jiang Yujin, who was so strong, would also go to the yard and practice swordsmanship continuously. The core of swordsmanship was still chopping, stabbing, and retreating. She gradually developed The imaginary enemy constantly simulated various situations, thereby slowly figuring out the flexible footwork to match the three moves, and the sword moves also expanded from three to six or ten.
Of course, the Fengxing Step realized by Sun Zikai was much higher, but it was too free and willful and not suitable for fixed killing moves. Therefore, the footwork realized by Jiang Yujin was ordinary but efficient.
Jiang Yujin met Hu Xincheng by chance on the way to find Sun Zikai two days ago. Hu Xincheng is an immortal fanatic who only wants to practice. He never sticks to the inner sect, but wanders around and gets inspiration from all kinds of people. What he repairs is tools, and doing things behind closed doors is the most taboo.
At that time, Jiang Yujin didn't find Sun Zikai, so she broke off a branch and made sword gestures. She was very comfortable with her sword skills. However, Hu Xincheng had a sharp eye and saw Jiang Yujin's strange footwork at a glance, so he stopped her.
He also asked Gao Yang to break a branch without using spiritual energy to compete with Jiang Yujin. Although Gao Yang was not skilled in swordsmanship, he had been under the sect master for many years. He had also learned many swordsmanship secrets, but he did not expect that he would succeed in the second move. Stabbed in the neck.
Gao Yang didn't understand why he was defeated by that mediocre swordsmanship, but Jiang Yujin followed Sun Zikai's philosophy and replied: "There are not so many tricks in a life-and-death battle. It usually kills with one blow, so all unnecessary movements are eliminated." , no one cares whether you dance beautifully or not."
With a shocking statement, Hu Xincheng admired Jiang Yujin very much. After Jiang Yujin learned about Hu Xincheng's identity, she was eager to practice. She rashly took out a piece of gold and sent it to Hu Xincheng, hoping that Hu Xincheng would accept her as his disciple.
What they never expected was that Hu Xincheng and Gao Yang didn't have any exaggerated reaction to the big gold brick. Hu Xincheng took the gold brick, grabbed it, and returned it to Jiang Yujin calmly, saying: "This thing is useless for practice. , what can you do for me?"
Jiang Yujin was at a loss, but Gao Yang returned the gold bricks to Jiang Yujin and whispered: "Master doesn't like these, put them away quickly and don't let others see them."
Jiang Yujin had no choice but to put away the gold bricks in embarrassment, but she had great respect for Hu Xincheng. He was the only man she had met so far who was not moved by gold and silver, and he was also the second man who would not leave no stone unturned. The one who took her gold.
Jiang Yujin recognized this master in her heart and asked to be his disciple again. Hu Xincheng never looked at a person's status or level of realm. Even though Jiang Yujin was only at the third level of Qi Condensation, he did not look down upon him. He took out a book of swordsmanship and gave it to Jiang Yujin. , telling her that if she can master it within ten days, she can accept her as a disciple.
But Jiang Yujin only took two days to practice it. In addition to her own good understanding, it was also thanks to Sun Zikai's more than a year of training and Feng Xingbu's blessing.
Hu Xincheng was very satisfied with Jiang Yujin's performance. He said calmly: "Let's go."
"Uh...Master Hu Clan, then I..."
"Call Master."
"Master."
Hu Xincheng nodded, and then said coldly: "Let's go."
"Master, don't I need to clean it up?"
Gao Yang waved to Jiang Yujin to follow him quickly. Jiang Yujin looked at Sun Zikai in embarrassment. Sun Zikai motioned for her to follow, so she followed.
Hu Xincheng was too willful and casual in accepting disciples. Wu Lanmu and Fu Zhe took the initiative to say hello to Hu Xincheng, but Hu Xincheng was lost in thought while walking and still ignored them.
After they left, Wu Lanmu said: "Look at Brother Cheng's level, people don't care about those messy things."
Fu Zhe replied: "You are underestimating Brother Cheng. His ability to see things clearly is not on the same level as ours."
The two seemed to have great respect for Hu Xincheng, and then focused on Sun Zikai. Fu Zhe said: "If I accept you as my disciple, there are three conditions."
"I have never had the intention to become a disciple, so how can I accept a disciple?"
"You don't want to enter the inner door?"
"What does entering the inner gate have to do with becoming your master?"
Wu Lanmu said at this time: "Of course you want to become a disciple. You came to this sect with a purpose. Entering the inner sect is to get closer to the goal. You have mentioned the Ma family many times. Who do you hate in the Ma family? Ma Guanzheng? Ma Dairan?"
"I have no purpose."
"Lie" It was Wu Lanmu's turn to expose him, "I have been with beasts since I was a child, and the beast's heart cannot be concealed. Your resentment is hidden under your calm skin. It will soon be over." I can’t hold it down anymore, look, you are surprised again now, you are such a powerful soul, your face is still so calm.”
This was the first time Sun Zikai's heart was seen through, and he was shocked to realize that this woman could also do what he had done.
"Kid, do you want to enter the inner door?"
"I think so." Sun Zikai said directly, "But I'm used to being free and won't accept your conditions, so I won't become a disciple."
Wu Lanmu smiled and said: "If you don't become a disciple, you will never see that girl again, let alone Ma..."
"I pay my respects." Sun Zikai knelt in front of Fu Zhe, raised his head, and said as he had asked many years ago: "Sir, can you teach me how to practice?"
Fu Zhe frowned and froze for a long time, and then said coldly: "Take some time to clean up and come to me first."
After that, Fu Zhe and Wu Lanmu flew out of the yard.
