Three days ago, after coming to that area again, Lu Yunyou felt exactly the same as when he first came. It was difficult to even stand normally, let alone practice swordsmanship or bodywork there. Therefore, in the past three days, , Ling Feiye only asked him to practice the simplest things so that he could adapt to the environment inside as soon as possible.
Having had the experience of practicing in the outer area, Lu Yunyou always tied up his hair when practicing deep in the forbidden area to prevent it from being blown away by the wind, and the clothes he wore were no longer loose.
Before he formally practiced, Ling Feiye also told him various matters that needed to be paid attention to when practicing, and then personally taught him how to practice, so as to avoid the possibility of Lu Yunyou making frequent mistakes. Later, after Lu Yunyou knew how to practice, He only came over occasionally to visit, and most of the time he let Lu Yunyou practice alone.
As Ling Feiye said, practicing in the depths of the forbidden area requires too much hardship. Not to mention the discomfort of being blown by the wind, even the will will be destroyed. However, Lu Yunyou will not back down. He will do it every day from the first day to the third day. He came here early and didn't go back until very late. Especially after knowing the situation at the border, he didn't want to waste any time.
Three days later, Lu Yunyou had somewhat adapted to the environment in the depths of the forbidden area, and was no longer as panicked as when he first started. Today was the fourth day, and early in the morning, Lu Yunyou planned to practice his movements again.
Starting from practicing the simplest basic footwork of Bahuangbu, one step, two steps, three steps, repeated tirelessly, the wild wind made his skin and flesh hurt, but what hurt more was his internal organs, the vitality was intense The consumption caused his blood to surge, and he even felt like he was back ten years ago under constant torture.
At that time, he practiced body movements in the yard day and night, but due to Qi problem, he would always be accompanied by pain whenever he practiced body movements. In comparison, it is better now, at least he does not have to face it every day. He was humiliated in every way by his fellow clan members, so no matter how painful and tired he was, Lu Yunyou never stopped, nor did he regret his decision to come to the Ling family to practice.
Over and over again, his mind was focused on practicing, and sometimes he didn't even bother to eat. Once he encountered a problem in cultivation, he would study it on his own according to the methods given by the Ling Family Master.
In fact, Ling Feiye couldn't help him much when it came to learning the Eight Desolate Steps. He could only try his best to tell him his experience in practicing body techniques. Despite this, Lu Yunyou still benefited a lot.
As for swordsmanship, Ling Feiye had no reservations and taught everything he could. As for the extent to which Lu Yunyou could learn it, it all depended on Lu Yunyou's talent and hard work. In short, in the final analysis, Lu Yunyou still had to rely on Lu Yunyou for training matters.
In addition, after Lu Yunyou went to the depths of the forbidden area to practice, Fang Qing hung out with Ni Youbin every day. They were influenced by Lu Yunyou in their practice. The two of them were quite serious. Of course, compared with Lu Yunyou, there was always a gap between the two. Whenever they had time, , the two of them will also go to find sisters Ling Ziqing.
Recently, they have not shown much interest in practicing martial arts, but the two of them have become much more courageous. They often compete with Ling Ziqing to test their body skills, and they have become more and more familiar with the sisters. At the same time, the two of them have also become familiar with the Ling family. From the upper echelons of the Ling family down to the seven-year-old children, the two of them are basically acquainted.
With the head of the Ling family supporting them and not doing anything excessive, the two of them were coming and going in the Ling family. The senior officials of the Ling family could only turn a blind eye. Unfortunately, Ling Zihao and his group were still getting more and more angry. The two of them became more and more disliked, and now they were just waiting for an opportunity to drive the three of them away.
Since Lu Yunyou rarely stayed with Fang Qing and Ni Youbin these days, they had no chance to implement their original plan. However, Ling Zihao and the others were still paying close attention to the movements of the three of them.
Putting aside these trivial matters, a few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Yunyou's cultivation finally entered a critical period. On the morning of the tenth day before he was going to the depths of the forbidden area, Ni Youbin and Fang Qing got up early, and finally met Lu Yunyou. Waiting for Lu Yunyou at the door.
Although they live in the same courtyard, Lu Yunyou leaves early and comes home late every day. During this period, the three of them rarely have a chance to talk. They were very happy to meet each other this morning.
On the way to have breakfast, the three of them talked non-stop, sometimes about the Ling family, sometimes about the military. What surprised Lu Yunyou was that Lan Xu transferred some recruits to Wufeng City for training, and also sent Several generals, the situation in the army has changed too much, but now he doesn't want to care so much.
After chatting with Ling Feiye several times, Lu Yunyou's idea changed. Pursuing the ultimate in martial arts was more important than being a general. After having this idea, he had no interest in managing the army.
"Brother Lu, the situation at the border is tense. We may be transferred away at any time. We don't have much time to practice here," Fang Qing took the initiative to start a topic during the meal.
"It doesn't matter. If it doesn't work out, I will take the initiative to resign from the position of deputy general and become an ordinary soldier." Holding an important position is indeed inconvenient. It is better to be an ordinary soldier. If this doesn't work, then Lu Yunyou feels that he can only leave. military camp.
"Brother Lu, this is absolutely impossible. Do you know how many years it takes to be promoted from an ordinary commander to the position of general? How can you give up this title so easily now that you are a deputy general?" Lu Yunyou's response made Fang Qing greatly Unexpectedly, just thinking about it briefly, Fang Qing would never agree to let Lu Yunyou do this.
At the same time, Ni Youbin heard something else from Lu Yunyou's tone, but it was difficult to say it out loud. He could only think silently in his heart that Lu Yunyou not only wanted to give up his position as a general, but also probably wanted to give up being a star soldier. , he didn't know whether this was right or wrong, but he would respect Lu Yunyou's choice.
"Let nature take its course," following Fang Qing's persuasion, Lu Yunyou also felt that he had been a little impulsive just now. Even if he really wanted to resign as deputy general, he still had to inform Ling Yun first and listen to Ling Yun's opinion.
"Do you know? Brother Zining has passed the first secret room level!"
"What? When did Brother Zining become so powerful?"
"It took these two days to successfully pass the customs."
"But among the twenty-ninth generation clan members, aren't only Brother Zihao and Brother Zimo successful in passing the level?"
"That was before, Zi Ning, don't you think so?"
…
While Lu Yunyou and the others were talking about the Star Army, some members of Ling Zihao's group deliberately sat not far from the three of them and loudly talked about the secret room level.
Ling Zining, who was being questioned, glanced at Lu Yunyou and the others intentionally or unintentionally, then turned around and replied humbly to his companions: "It's just a fluke."
"Brother Zining, you can't try the first level unless you are a sixth-level martial artist, nor can you do it if you have poor body skills. You must be able to pass the test because you have outstanding strength."
"Yes, Brother Zining, if you can pass the first test, you will be recognized by the family elders, and the monthly salary you will receive is much more than us. When the time comes, you must not be stingy, and take us out to eat more. Just drink."
"Of course, you all call me Brother Zining, am I blessed to have it all to myself?" Ling Zining smiled and only waited for Lu Yunyou and the others to take the bait, because everything they said was to arouse the interest of Lu Yunyou and the others.
"But the first level is so difficult, how did you pass it, Brother Zining?"
"I have made some progress in my body skills recently, so I went there to try it out when I had nothing to do. I didn't expect that I passed it in one go."
…
The few people continued talking, pretending not to care that Lu Yunyou and the other two were next to them, while peeking at the three of them from time to time.
"What is the secret room level you are talking about?" Fang Qing was so noisy by several people that he could not continue talking. He wanted to ask them to be quiet, but when he found that everyone else in the dining hall was looking towards Ling Zining and others, Fang Qing I continued to listen, and the more I listened, the more curious I became, and finally I couldn't help but ask.
"The secret room level is a place where our Ling family's personal skills are tested. It has nothing to do with you," the man said with a deliberately impatient look on his face and turned away.
"Isn't it okay for me to ask?" I don't know why the other person didn't look good on him. In a moment of excitement, Fang Qing gave the person a fierce look.
"Hey, you are really weird. What else can you do to me if I don't tell you?" Turning his head, the man just now replied unceremoniously.
"You two, calm down." Seeing that the two were about to argue, someone from Ling Zining's group immediately stepped forward to be the peacemaker: "Actually, this is not a secret in our Ling family. The so-called secret room is in a forbidden area of the Ling family. Everywhere, there are three levels of varying difficulty, all of which are used to test the strength of the Ling family’s personal skills.”
Smiling at the three of them, the kind-looking Ling family member directly told Lu Yunyou and the others what they wanted to know.
"Why haven't we heard of it before?" After understanding, Fang Qing still looked puzzled.
"Maybe the head of the family doesn't want to tell you yet," after a pause, the man said hesitantly: "It could also be..."
This time he stopped mid-sentence.
"What could it be?" Fang Qing asked immediately as the man whetted his appetite.
"Don't be upset if you tell me a few of them." Seeing Fang Qing's anxious expression, the man first offered a guarantee, and then looked at the three of them expectantly.
"It's okay, just say," I don't know what the other party has to hide, and now it's Fang Qing's turn to be impatient.
"Then I'll tell you." Nodding, the Ling family member said politely: "It may be that the head of the family feels that the three of you have not reached a certain level of physical skills, so he does not plan to tell the three of you about that place for the time being."
