As the only true disciple in the Divine Weapon Valley, with the shortest introduction and the youngest age.
In two months, Li Yuan suffered several assassinations, but the most thrilling one was the time when he was hidden in dung soup.
Since then, with the protection of these four old soldiers, no killer has been able to come within ten feet of him, even if he moved back from Chirong Cave.
"ah!"
Swords clashed in the bamboo forest. The armored middle-aged man was no match for Jin. Hearing Li Yuan's mocking voice, he almost vomited blood.
boom!
In the next moment, one arm penetrated the sword light, and Yu Jin punched the heavy armor. In just one blow, the middle-aged killer coughed up blood and fell to the ground.
The remaining killers were all held down.
"So stupid, you want to be a killer?"
Yu Jin stepped on the middle-aged man's head and leaned down: "It's not easy for you to change shape at your age, but it's a pity that you have no brains."
"You are a loose person in the Jianghu. His business is to lick blood with a knife. He can change his shape at this age. He is obviously a master who dares to risk his life."
Several old soldiers raised their swords and killed the others, and then they all came over. Two of them dispersed to the left and right, patrolling the surroundings, looking for other possible accomplices.
"Mr. Yu, does this person use the Eight Sword Techniques?"
Li Yuan walked over slowly. As the most popular person on the 'assassination list', he was very careful.
It seemed that he was relying on Jin and the other four people, but in fact, he had already mastered the 'Mixed Gold Daxi Yi Hammer', 'Excellent Liuhe Boots', 'Qibing Forging Hammer', 'Grandmaster Forging Hammer', and 'Pure Steel Six-Edged Hammer' in the first place. '.
This is his strongest combination at present. The twenty control effects take into account hammer training, fighting, assassination, escape, etc.
Just waiting for a killer who, after going through countless hardships, finally broke through the blockade of Yu Jin and the four others, rushed in front of him, and was beaten to death by him with a hammer.
"Yes, these people use eight sword techniques."
Yu Jin nodded: "This Zhongcheng sword technique is widely circulated and can be found in many counties, but it is difficult to tell its origin."
"There shouldn't be many shape-shifting masters who are proficient in this sword technique?"
Li Yuan took a look at the armored middle-aged man.
The second-level heavy armor is the standard heavy armor of the Divine Guards. It is unclear where it comes from. The knife is a top-grade sharp blade, which shows that it is quite shabby.
"not much."
Yu Jin gave a very cooperative smile:
"Hurry and hand it over to the disciples of the Supervisory Hall tomorrow, and let them look for it. If you dare to assassinate the true disciple, the number of graves he has in his family will be as many as possible!"
As he spoke, the strength under his feet weakened slightly, and the middle-aged man was not suffocated by the mud. He struggled and coughed up blood:
"I am responsible for everything I do. If you can kill me, kill me!"
"Kill, of course you have to kill. If you ask, you have to ask."
Li Yuan was not very proficient in interrogation, so he just asked casually:
"Which family of killers are you from? How did you sneak into the inner island?"
"Li Yuan!"
The middle-aged killer looked ugly: "If you can let me go, I will tell you everything!"
"I said yes, do you believe it?"
Li Yuan was dumbfounded, feeling more and more that there was no strong connection between brain and martial arts.
"you……"
The middle-aged killer's face turned pale.
"If you dare to do something, you must dare to do it. If you don't have any backbone, you still deserve to be a killer?"
Yu Jin sneered and looked at Li Yuan again:
"Xiao Li, leave this person to me. The things he has on him will be delivered to you in a moment."
"I'll leave this person to Mr. Yu. As for the things, you can keep them. It's a cold day. You might as well buy some gourd wine to warm yourself up."
Li Yuan bowed his hand.
The killer was so poor that he was not even interested in searching him.
Mr. Li Dao is so rich now that he can eat a fish worth a hundred taels of gold. Naturally, he will not compete with a few old people who work hard to protect him for this trophy.
To coax the old man, you have to start with small things.
"become!"
Yu Jin nodded and carried the killer to the Supervisory Hall.
He didn't care about this, but this attitude made him very satisfied.
Who is Li Yuan?
Dragon-shaped root bone, a forging prodigy, the most talented among contemporary true disciples, and he became a disciple of Han Chuijun. In the future, he will be at least one of the top five elders of the inner sect.
Comparing those true biography, the difference is obvious.
Being talented, not being unruly, and being able to endure loneliness, in his opinion, this is more precious than any natural talent.
"I guess there are many inner disciples who are guest assassins, right?"
Li Yuan thought in his heart.
All his true disciples are part-time killers, and that may not be the case for other disciples.
This time Qianjun Cave's generous reward may not be unpopular.
After all, there were thousands of disciples in the Divine Weapon Valley and many factions. He and Ding Zhi were not the only ones who had grudges against each other.
Back in the house, Li Yuan heated up the fish soup without wasting any of it. After drinking it, he felt warm all over his body, as if there was still a lingering aftertaste from the change in his bones.
"Small dragon shape, dragon shape, big dragon shape. It is recorded in the book that the best root bones are not in the big dragon shape. The difference is just because of the different shapes of the body."
Li Yuan sat down and flipped through the book. The "Treatise on Root Bones" borrowed from the library contained detailed records of various root bones.
Born in the shape of a big dragon, it already has top bones.
"It's just that the same thirteen forms, the dragon form of mortal beasts, are somewhat different from the great dragon forms of spiritual beasts. However, those are the subdivisions that only come after the change of form."
Since entering the Divine Weapon Valley, Li Yuan has stayed at home most of the time.
But after reading pile after pile of books, he was not as closed-minded as other disciples had guessed.
"The shape-changing realm is a big realm. Even if you cultivate to the point of unblocking the meridians or even refining the internal organs, the shape you change is still very important."
Li Yuan flipped through the book.
In the Treatise on Roots and Bones, only a small half of the chapter talks about the roots and bones, and most of the chapter talks about changing forms.
What is shape-shifting?
It is the process of changing one's form into one's body, changing one's self, breaking one's limits, and expanding one's limits. According to the book, there is no limit to changing one's form.
"The shape-changing is divided into three parts. The shape of ordinary beasts, the shape of spiritual beasts, and the natural shape of heaven and earth. The shape-changing has been completed, and martial arts has just entered the hall..."
"The better the bones are, the smoother the transformation will be. On the contrary, it will be difficult..."
"Changes are divided into numbers, six for small dragons, nine for dragons, thirteen for big dragons..."
…
Li Yuan read every word carefully. To him, this was like a pastime after practicing martial arts.
He really couldn't bear to practice martial arts all the time.
"Huh?"
When he turned to one of the pages, Li Yuan's heart moved and he saw the words about Star Reaching Tower.
In other words, it is 'All beasts sit and forget, the Heart Sutra of Dragons and Demons'.
"In the 1,400 years of recorded history, the person who has gone the farthest in changing forms is the 'Ten Thousand Beasts Taoist' of Zhaixinglou..."
"According to legend, he took the form of all kinds of beasts and was extraordinary. He was no longer a human being, so he was called the 'Dragon Demon'!"
"It's a pity that this is an extinct sound. It will never be reproduced for thousands of years. The ones who come after it are no more than ten dragons and ten elephants..."
…
“On top of hundreds of forms, there are ten thousand forms!”
Li Yuan was stunned.
He calculated in his mind that even if he kept changing his bones every day, with the weapon in his hand, he would be able to form one shape every month or ten thousand shapes...
"Eight hundred and thirty-three years!"
Can anyone live eight hundred years?
"The method of worshiping gods!"
Many thoughts came to Li Yuan's mind, and he even felt a little confused.
No wonder Wang Wenyuan is so familiar with the method of worshiping gods. He is afraid that the righteous method of worshiping gods has a lineage in the Star-Zhailing Tower!
"Wanxiang..."
Li Yuan, who has not yet transformed, is a bit unimaginable.
At the end of the root theory, the author - Han Chuijun!
"It's indeed Lao Han."
Not long after looking at it, Li Yuan thought of Lao Han. The tone was somewhat similar, and it seemed that there was no one else in the Divine Weapon Valley who was qualified to leave a foundational theory.
"Old Han understands so well, it's hard for me not to suspect that he has also joined Star Reaching Tower..."
There were many references to the 'Dragon Demon Heart Sutra' in the book, and Li Yuan could even feel regret and pity between the lines.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan closed the book, took a thread and hung the little mouse on the bedside, and then yawned and fell asleep.
In the process of transforming his muscles and bones, he also consumed a lot of energy. The elixir could make up for the internal energy of qi and blood, but it could not make up for the spirit.
…
…
A dreamless night.
Li Yuan's sleep quality was excellent. When he opened his eyes again, he was full of energy and stretched his muscles. He seemed to be a little taller than before going to bed yesterday.
"If you continue to change things like this, you won't become like your senior brother, right?"
Li Yuan muttered a little.
The shape-changer is inhuman, but Eighty Thousand Miles is obviously a strange flower among inhumans. With a body of three meters, it brings huge troubles in daily life.
The houses, beds, tables, chairs, and clothes all had to be specially made, not to mention the carriages and sedans for traveling, and it was difficult to even stay in an inn.
"I have to look for some martial arts like Bone Shrinking Technique, but I guess it won't be of much use."
When Li Yuan put on his clothes, Yu Xiang and the others had already prepared breakfast. When they saw him coming out, they were both shocked.
"Teacher, senior brother, you, have you grown taller?"
Pan Yi covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"Seems to be?"
Yu Xiang thought about it and it seemed true.
"You are dazzled."
Li Yuan ignored them. After simply washing and eating, he went out carrying the hammer and sword.
Nowadays, many disciples in the Divine Weapon Valley always bring weapons with them when they go out, so he will stand out if he is empty-handed.
Yu Jin and the others hid themselves well and no longer followed him closely. Chirongdong changed their habits.
There were many disciples on the inner island, and many of them took the initiative to greet him along the way. Most of them were in a hurry, but they looked at him with envy.
This turmoil in the Valley of Divine Weapons makes it even more obvious that the treatment given to the true disciples is special. There are no mandatory tasks and they are protected by the old soldiers who can change their form.
In contrast, although the inner disciples said nothing, they were inevitably a little sour in their hearts.
Li Yuan probably had some understanding, but it wouldn't work if he was asked to go down the mountain.
His reputation now is not small. He will attract many killers when he goes down the mountain. He has no habit of self-abuse.
"Senior Sister Fang."
Li Yuan went to the Sword Soldier Hall to return the sword, and Fang Yunxiu was practicing his sword in the yard.
Her movements were very fast, her movements came and went suddenly, her sword was faster, her sword shadow flickered into pieces, and then disappeared in an instant. She could not be seen in the distance, and she could only hear the sound of the sword like cicadas.
"Good swordsmanship!"
Yu Jin appeared like a ghost, looking at the fields of sword light in the distance, he couldn't help but marvel:
"With just three moves of the Tianchan Sword, she can actually reach this level? With this kind of understanding, there is no chance that she will be a disciple of Jin Zhenzhuan!"
"Senior Sister Fang has always worked hard, and it is reasonable for her to be promoted to True Master in the future."
Li Yuan agreed.
There are currently only six true disciples in Shenbing Valley, leaving six spots open. Fang Yunxiu has a great chance.
Yu Jin glanced at him and disappeared quietly.
"Junior Brother Li, come and try your move!"
Suddenly hearing a soft roar, Li Yuan felt a strong wind blowing against his face, but he responded happily.
Woo!
Putting the repaired sword aside, Li Yuan stepped lightly and moved forward without retreating.
The long-handled heavy hammer carried on the shoulder has dragged a long sound through the air and collided with the misty and sharp sword light.
Zheng~
Fang Yunxiu was not one to go head-to-head with a heavy hammer versus a long sword. With a flick of his wrist, the sword flashed around like water and pierced Li Yuan's wrist holding the hammer.
Li Yuan responded accordingly, flipped his wrist, blocked with a heavy hammer, and aimed straight at Fang Yunxiu's neck.
Long handles versus short handles, heavy troops versus light ones, have great advantages. Li Yuan knew this very well and used it well.
Sure enough, Fang Yunxiu dodged and stabbed again, but Li Yuan rose and fell again. No matter how fast his sword skills changed,
The main focus is a head-on confrontation.
"do not fight!"
After a few moves, Fang Yunxiu had already withdrawn his sword and turned around, with a look of approval on his face: "Junior Brother Li actually understands the essence of the heavy hammer!"
"Make senior sister laugh."
Li Yuan put down the hammer.
"Hundred soldiers have their own uses. The hammer is meant to open and close widely, using strength to defeat cleverness. You are well versed in this."
Fang Yunxiu praised, but also couldn't help but wonder: "You can practice to this extent without leaving home, your understanding is amazing..."
She always felt that Junior Brother Li's hammering skills were very sophisticated, and he seemed to have no shortage of evil spirits.
"However, if I master Qigong, the advantage of a long-handled weapon will not be so obvious."
Fang Yunxiu sheathed her sword.
Once the qigong is perfected and the qi reaches three feet, the advantage of heavy troops and long soldiers will naturally not be that great. Li Yuan knew it very well and was a little surprised:
"Sister, do you have to teach Qigong?"
"……No."
Fang Yunxiu felt depressed.
It is impossible to pass on qigong without becoming a real disciple. If you want to make an exception, you must at least be beheading the opponent's real disciple.
But most of Qianjun Cave's true successors were killed, and even if not, she would probably not be a match.
It is rare for Li Yuan to have such a weak true inheritance.
"Senior sister has just changed shape, so there is no rush." Li Yuan comforted.
"You are the true successor, so there is no need to rush."
Giving him a sideways look, Fang Yunxiu was a little annoyed: "I heard that you don't leave home, so why are you free to come to me today?"
"Your sword."
Li Yuan handed the sword back to Fang Yunxiu.
In the past two months, he has become very famous for repairing weapons. Countless brothers have sent personal weapons to him.
As soon as Fang Yunxiu changed his weapon-level sword, it was damaged twice, and he repaired both times.
"Thank you!"
Fang Yunxiu drew his sword out of its scabbard and danced it casually a few times. The sword's light flickered and was cold and cold: "If I have this sword in my hand, I won't be afraid to confront you head-on."
Do you think I have no reputation?
Li Yuan cursed in his heart, but naturally nodded in agreement on his face.
It took more than ten years to acquire a famous weapon. Fang Yunxiu cherished it so much that Li Yuan didn't even leave. She had already taken out the silk cloth and sword oil and started to maintain it with meticulous movements.
"Junior brother, your skills are getting better and better."
After a while, Xiu Fang Yun nodded with satisfaction.
The two chatted for a few more words, mainly Li Yuan asked about intelligence information outside the sect. After a while, Li Yuan left.
"Junior brother, wait."
Seeing that Li Yuan was about to leave, Fang Yunxiu remembered something:
"Junior brother, the powerful characters of those killer organizations are either dead or injured, and the rest are not a threat to you..."
At this point, she paused slightly:
"True disciples must set an example for the sect. During such turmoil, you can't leave home, just for fear that someone will be dissatisfied."
"oh?"
Seeing her troubled face, Li Yuan understood something in his heart, but he didn't care much. He just raised his hammer:
"Isn't it an example of me to repair my brothers' weapons for free?"
