It is said that Qi Ruochuan introduced Yun Xiao to the disciples who were performing martial arts. Only a few people knew Yun Xiao's identity. Even Qi Ruochuan only knew that the headmaster had specially told him to take good care of him, and did not know that he was Xuan Xi's child. As a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect and the first disciple of the leader Zhenren, Qi Ruochuan was originally responsible for the cultivation of young disciples. Everyone just thought that there was a new disciple who had entered the sect and had gone through the basic training of the sect and wanted to practice with everyone, so they didn't really care. After everyone exchanged greetings with Yun Xiao, they went to practice separately.
Qi Ruochuan was not in a hurry to let Yun Xiao compete with his disciples, but wanted to explore Yun Xiao's cultivation level first. Bai Lisheng once said that Yun Xiao was very talented, and Master Xuan Cheng also specifically told Qi Ruochuan to take more care of Yun Xiao. This made Qi Ruochuan look at the ten-year-old junior brother in front of him in a different light. In the Xiaoyao Palace lineage, it was recognized that he and his junior brother Yu Ruoming had the highest talent and the highest moral standards. Qi Ruochuan was even more proud, and his eyes were higher than his head. In his eyes, only the two people opposite Zixiao Palace were potential opponents. The child in front of him only attracted the attention of his master because of his special status. He was just curious about whether he was a threat to him.
Qi Ruochuan took Yun Xiao to a relatively quiet corner of Tianqian Square, and asked Yun Xiao to demonstrate all the techniques he had learned. Yun Xiao had no doubt that he was there, and just hoped to get some pointers from this senior brother, so she used the Xuan Bing Qi to activate the Youhan Saber Intent and Chasing the Wind and Watching the Moon step, and used them according to her own understanding.
Yun Xiao stopped her moves, raised her hands to Qi Ruochuan and said, "Senior Brother Qi, please give me your advice!"
Qi Ruochuan's face was solemn, obviously a little surprised. He did not answer, but pressed the pulse gate of Yun Xiao's right wrist with his right hand. Yun Xiao only felt a cold air entering his body. He knew that his senior brother was just exploring his cultivation level and had no ill intentions, so he allowed this air to circulate in his body.
While taking a breath, Qi Ruochuan collected his energy and stared closely at Yun Xiao in front of him, feeling secretly shocked: "This child is only ten years old. He has already practiced You Han Sword Intent and Chai Feng Wang Yue Steps in just a few months. It's really surprising to reach this point. Not to mention ordinary disciples, even compared to me and Yu Ruoming, it is several times faster. What's even more incredible is that this child's Xuan Bing Qi is stable and pure, and it seems that he has practiced hard for ten years Average. Even a disciple with excellent talent can barely gather the Xuan Bing Qi in a few months at most, and let the Qi circulate in the body. It is already rare for Xiao Zhou Tian. But the child in front of him can actually control Xuan Bing freely. The true energy is circulating in the body, and the foundation is no longer weak, which is too hard to believe."
Under doubt, Qi Ruochuan asked quietly: "Junior Brother Yun, have you really only been a beginner for a few months? Have you never practiced the true method of our sect before you started?"
Yun Xiao's heart tightened when he heard this. He had practiced in Qinglian Xuantan for five years before he started, but his master had said that this matter must not be revealed. Moreover, what Senior Brother Qi asked was whether he had practiced Xiaoyao Zhenfa. The Hunyuan Zhenfa was not Xiaoyao Cultivation Technique. He didn’t think he was deliberately deceiving him, so he raised his hand and answered: “Senior Brother Qi, this Xuan Bing Zhenqi is Uncle Baili taught it to me after I started. Before I started, the disciple had never practiced."
Qi Ruochuan saw that Yun Xiao's eyes were firm and did not seem to be deceiving, so he nodded and said: "If this is really the case, Junior Brother Yun is extremely talented, and Senior Brother really admires him! Speaking of which, this is also the blessing of my Xiaoyao Palace lineage. Junior Brother Yun, you are here today. Observe from the sidelines. When the time is right, senior brother will arrange for fellow disciples to practice with you."
"Yes! Yun Xiao understands!" Yun Xiao felt happy when she heard that she would soon be able to practice with all the fellow disciples, and the strange feeling at Qi Yuan Mountain became much lighter.
Qi Ruochuan's eyes moved slightly, and he added: "Junior Brother Yun, you have mastered the secrets of the Nether Cold Sword Intention and Chasing the Wind and Watching the Moon Step, but practicing alone against the enemy in front of the battle is very different. You should watch carefully from the sidelines. Understand carefully!”
"Yes! Yun Xiao thanks Senior Brother Qi for his advice!" Yun Xiao saluted Qi Ruochuan, then ran into the crowd, found a place that would not hinder everyone's practice, and looked around to observe.
Qi Ruochuan nodded silently at the side, suddenly frowned again, and joined the crowd full of thoughts.
For three days, Yun Xiao watched from the sidelines. When everyone was resting, he would practice Hunyuan Zhenfa and Xuanbing Zhenqi alone. Yun Xiao was the only one who integrated these two cultivation methods. It was difficult for others to tell that he was practicing both methods at the same time. In the evening, he went back to Baili Sheng's place to rest. Bai Lisheng and Wan'er knew that Yun Xiao was practicing with her senior brothers these days, so they didn't bother them. Xiaoyao Palace disciples can only practice together in Tianqian Square during the first five days of each month. The rest of the time they can practice independently. Baili Sheng worked hard to think of letting Yun Xiao practice with everyone. This time is particularly precious.
In the early morning of the fourth day, Yun Xiao arrived at Tianqian Square early. After a while, people began to arrive one after another, and they practiced in pairs. Yun Xiao looked around, but did not find Qi Ruochuan. Just when he was wondering, he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw Qi Ruochuan walking side by side with another man. Yun Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Qi Ruochuan returned the gift and said to Yun Xiao: "Junior brother Yun, this is senior brother Yu Ruoming. You have been observing here for three days. Today, he will guide you to practice with other brothers."
"Yes! Senior Brother Qi!" Yun Xiao looked at Qi Ruoming and saw that Yu Ruoming was wearing a white Taoist robe. His figure was similar to Qi Ruochuan's. He seemed to be a few years younger than Qi Ruochuan. He was also handsome and elegant.
Yu Ruoming smiled and said: "This is Junior Brother Yun, and he is indeed a young hero. A few days ago, I heard Senior Brother Qi say that an earth-shattering talent came out of the Xiaoyao Palace lineage. When I saw him today, it was true!"
Yun Xiao bowed and said: "Senior Brother Yu, thank you for your praise. Yun Xiao's cultivation is still shallow, please give me some advice from Senior Brother Yu."
"Easy to say, easy to say. Junior Brother Yun, come with me." Yu Ruoming led Yun Xiao to the crowd. He waved his hand to a young Taoist priest and shouted: "Junior Brother Leng, please come this way!"
When the young Taoist priest saw Yu Ruoming calling him, he took three steps and two steps at a time, ran to him, bowed and saluted: "Senior Brother Yu, why are you looking for me?"
Yu Ruoming said: "Junior Brother Leng, this is Junior Brother Yun Xiao. Today it is up to you and Junior Brother Yun to practice together. Junior Brother Yun has just started, please give him some guidance. If you encounter something unclear, you can come to me at any time."
"Yes, Senior Brother Yu." The young Taoist priest nodded slightly to Yu Ruoming, and then said to Yun Xiao: "Junior Brother Yun, I am Leng Qiubai, a disciple of Elder Dong Ziqiu of Xiaoyao Palace. Today, I will practice with my junior brother."
"Yes, Senior Brother Leng!" Yun Xiao saw that the man in front of her was about twenty years old, more than seven feet tall, with a slim build, but bright eyes. This was because his face was a little pale, and he didn't know why.
Yu Ruoming saw that Yun Xiao had no weapons, so he asked someone to fetch a long knife commonly used by novice disciples for Yun Xiao to use. Yun Xiao happily took it and started sparring with Leng Qiubai. Yu Ruoming was observing and guiding from the side, but he was not just watching the two of them. All the disciples in this area were trained by Yu Ruoming. Leng Qiubai and Yun Xiao were sparring for the first time. He saw that Yun Xiao was very proficient in sword techniques and Qinggong. However, during duels with others, she was too obsessed with routines and lacked adaptability. She was often beaten as soon as she made a move. See through the intention yourself and resolve it easily. This is obviously the result of a lack of actual combat training. But other than that, Yun Xiao is extremely precise in the strength and timing of using the moves.
Leng Qiubai pulled Yun Xiao aside and carefully explained the essentials of confronting others. He told Yun Xiao that skills and moves were only part of it. The so-called hiding oneself to lure the enemy, taking things by surprise, and responding randomly was the way to win. Yun Xiao wrote them down one by one and thought about them carefully. Only then did he understand Bai Lisheng's intention. If you practice independently, even if you master this technique to perfection, you will definitely be in a hurry and full of flaws when encountering a powerful enemy. Now, what he lacks is the experience of competing with others.
Two hours later, Yun Xiao was already sweating profusely, but the fighting spirit in his heart was endless. Leng Qiubai was secretly amazed when he saw Yun Xiao's talent. He just revealed the secret, and Yun Xiao seemed to be reborn. With each pair of practice sessions, Yun Xiao's use of skills reached a higher level. Leng Qiubai did not fight Yun Xiao based on his true energy, but only competed with him on his moves. Only two hours had passed, and Yun Xiao's moves had become mature and steady, with endless changes. Even if he fights with all his strength, he can't gain any advantage.
Leng Qiubai didn't know that Yun Xiao had been practicing with Yuan Tianzong for five years. During these five years, Yun Xiao had been taught some skills by Yuan Tianzong. In addition, the Hunyuan True Dharma is all-encompassing and has the mysterious effect of having one dharma that can connect all dharma. Yun Xiao's transformation, which seemed like two hours, was actually the result of years of hard training and guidance from celebrities.
Yun Xiao was very interested, and Leng Qiubai saw that he was so studious and talented, so she was willing to accompany him, and the two kept sparring. Unknowingly, it was already noon, and the other disciples went to have their meals one after another, leaving him alone in the huge square. Leng Qiubai had already noticed it, but Yun Xiao had no idea. The two of them continued until the rest of the disciples had finished eating and returned to the square.
Out of curiosity, everyone gathered around the two of them. Leng Qiubai wanted to remind Yun Xiao, but Yun Xiao was focused on the "opponent" in front of him. He just thought that Leng Qiubai had exposed a flaw, and slashed towards Leng Qiubai's chest with a move of "one exposure and ten cold". Leng Qiubai was startled and hurriedly drew her knife to block. Unexpectedly, Yun Xiao changed her moves midway, avoiding Leng Qiubai's blade, and used the "Bleak Wind and Cold Rain" move, lifting it from bottom to top. Leng Qiubai immediately floated back, but he couldn't dodge in time, and the Taoist robe on his chest was cut open.
Yun Xiao immediately sheathed the knife, then came to her senses, hurriedly walked to Leng Qiubai, and said apologetically: "Senior Brother Leng, are you okay? Yun Xiao made a mistake, please atone for your sins!"
"Junior Brother Yun, it's okay—"
Before Leng Qiubai could finish speaking, a person next to him snorted coldly and shouted in a rough voice: "What a mistake! Junior brother Leng obviously meant to give in, but you kid is so scheming at a young age, taking advantage of Leng Junior brother, don't be afraid of such a heavy move! Who are you from, and what are your intentions?"
Yun Xiao heard the sound and looked around, only to see a tall man standing aside, looking at her coldly. That man was also wearing a green Taoist robe. He was tall, dark-skinned, and had rather ferocious facial features. Yun Xiao was immediately startled. The disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect he saw were all graceful and graceful. He had never seen such a vulgar-looking person before.
Without waiting for Yun Xiao to answer, Leng Qiubai had already taken a step forward, stopped in front of Yun Xiao, and said to the man: "Senior Brother Zhao misunderstood! I just competed with Junior Brother Yun, and I was distracted for a moment, and then——"
The man couldn't help Leng Qiubai's words, so he interrupted: "Junior brother Leng's words are wrong! The Xiaoyao sect is the leader of the righteous path in the world. Although our sect's techniques are infinitely mysterious, they are also based on 'benevolence'. This child is so young Being so competitive at such a young age, taking advantage of others' danger, is no different from that demon sect! If I hadn't seen such a treacherous person on Qiyuan Mountain, I would have taught him a lesson!"
Demonic Cult? Yun Xiao cares most about his background, as his status as a bastard has already made him look down upon. Now, I was just eager to practice, but I accidentally failed and was called the Demon Cult? He suddenly felt a senseless rage in his heart, but he also knew that the Xiaoyao Sect must have strict rules, and he could not offend his senior brothers by breaking out here. I just want to go back at night and talk to Bai Lisheng and Wan'er.
Yun Xiao was just thinking to herself, but didn't hear what Leng Qiubai said to the man. When he came back to his senses, he only heard the man shouting to him: "Junior Brother Yun, are you willing to compete with me? Could it be that you look down on me?"
When Yun Xiao looked up, she realized that Leng Qiubai was holding the man's arm, but the man kept twisting and trying to break free, with a pair of eyes staring at her fiercely. Thinking about it, she just ignored him and made him angry. Yun Xiao waved her hands hurriedly and explained: "No, no, no! How dare Yun Xiao look down on senior brother! It's just that Yun Xiao's cultivation is still shallow and she is no match for senior brother!"
The man shook his arm suddenly, broke away from Leng Qiubai's hand, walked to Yun Xiao, and said in a cold voice: "Junior brother Yun, don't be humble. I don't know the depth of your cultivation, but your scheming is far deeper than mine. I I just heard Junior Brother Leng say, Junior Brother Yun, you have extraordinary talent, and you have probably used it here. I wonder if Junior Brother would like to give you some tips? Let me, a senior brother, see how you are so talented!" Then After he finished speaking, he bowed his hand to Yun Xiao, but his eyes were looking at Xiaoyao Palace in the distance with an extremely disdainful expression.
Yun Xiao's heart sank, and she thought: "This man is so unreasonable! It has nothing to do with me competing with Senior Brother Leng! He has ridiculed and slandered many times, but he always responded with good words. I don't know how I provoked him, but he actually So aggressive!"
Leng Qiubai took a few steps forward, blocked in front of Yun Xiao, and said to the man: "Senior Brother Zhao. Junior Brother Yun is still a beginner, how can he compare with Senior Brother? Besides, Junior Brother Yun is already tired at this time. If Senior Brother Zhao wants to teach me, he might as well choose another time."
The man felt that what Leng Qiubai said was reasonable, so he nodded and said: "Since Junior Brother Leng said so, forget it. I don't know whose disciple this is? How can he be so ignorant of the rules? Is it possible? Is it because you have no father or mother, and you have to discipline others?" After the man finished speaking, he turned and left.
Suddenly, Yun Xiao said coldly from behind: "Senior Brother Zhao, walk slowly! Yun Xiao is not talented, I want to ask this senior brother for advice!"
The man suddenly turned around and saw Yun Xiao with an angry face. He was startled at first, then laughed and said, "Okay! In that case, let me teach you a lesson and tell you how to respect your teacher!"
