Chapter 76: Ninth Grade of Jin Dynasty, Wangqiu Mountain, Target Treasure of Emperor Wu
Nanyu Mansion.
In a large mansion.
Hundreds of young men are sitting in the courtyard.
These people all wore the same robes, and the robes were dark green, and they were all students of Tianming Academy.
And an old man was sitting in the center.
The old man was already in his sixties, his eyebrows were all white, and he was wearing a Confucian robe full of patches.
The Confucian robe looks very old, and even has some parts that have been washed a little white. It can be seen that this old man has saved a lot.
This person is the former dean of Tianming Academy, Wan Anguo, a sixth-grade Confucian who has already made up his mind.
One step further, there is a great Confucian who is famous all over the world.
However, he is already eighty years old, and it is basically difficult to break through this level in his lifetime.
What seems like a difference in quality is actually a world of difference.
Of course, compared to great Confucianism, being a true Confucian of the sixth grade is nothing.
But for the vast majority of scholars in the world, a sixth-grade Confucian scholar seems to be high in the clouds and out of reach.
"Sir, we traveled a long way from Tianming Mansion just to see Xu Qingxiao, but we never thought that Xu Qingxiao didn't even show her face. It really disrespects us as scholars."
"Yes, sir, it would be fine if we were nameless and insignificant, but our Tianming Academy is the first academy in Changping County. We have made many contributions to the Wei Dynasty over the years. It would be fine if Xu Qingxiao did not respect us, but I
When I represent Tianming Academy, he is so disrespectful, and I can't swallow this breath."
"Sir, Xu Qingxiao's arrogance based on his talent is really hateful. Even if he looks down on us, forget it, but when you come, he doesn't come out to see you. This is no longer arrogance based on his talent, this is simply arrogant."
Inside the house.
Many voices sounded, full of anger.
They were very angry, thinking that Xu Qingxiao didn't respect Tianming Academy, and it was okay if he didn't respect them. Now that their old dean came to Nanyu Mansion in person, Xu Qingxiao didn't show up yet?
How can they bear this?
However, among the crowd, facing the angry attack of the Confucian scholars, Wan Anguo did not show any anger.
Instead, he seemed very calm.
When everyone stopped talking, Wan Anguo's voice slowly sounded.
"A gentleman cultivates his spirit, and a Confucian cultivates his character."
"You have been studying for decades, but you are still stuck in the same place. You regard it as a failure to nourish your Qi and a lack of self-cultivation."
"Xu Qingxiao is a great talent, this is undeniable."
"It is reasonable for such a great talent to have some arrogance. If he doesn't see you, what's his fault?"
"Why does he want to see you?"
Wan Anguo's voice was calm, but there was still some reproach in his words.
"But sir, it's true that he doesn't see us, but it's really unjustifiable that he doesn't see you. I don't accept it."
Facing Wan Anguo's accusation, most people remained silent, but some people could not help but speak up to defend their husband.
As soon as he said this, Wan Anguo glanced at everyone.
"Don't you think I am old and foolish?"
"Are you really fighting for me? Or are you fighting for yourselves?"
His words silenced everyone completely.
It directly exposed everyone's inner thoughts.
"Huh, scholars, you should be humble and love Neo-Confucianism and help each other achieve mutual success. You have neither fame nor Confucianism, but you are here to compete for power."
"No matter how arrogant Xu Qingxiao is, he also writes timeless words and peerless articles. Based on these two points alone, even I can't compare to him."
"Whether he sees it or not is Xu Qingxiao's freedom. What's the point of dissatisfaction? If not, you can also write a unique article and let's argue again."
Wan Anguo's words made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
They originally wanted to ask Wan Anguo to come and support them, but they did not expect that Wan Anguo would reprimand them first, which made them a little depressed.
But in fact it is indeed the case. If you are an upright Confucian who has lived for almost eighty years, how can you not know the thoughts of these people? Moreover, even if the literati look down on each other, at this level, it is basically a dispute of opinions.
Everyone has almost the same intention, that is, they are good friends. If everyone has different intentions, they will not seek each other's advice, nor will they scold each other, or frame and insult each other.
Unless it involves fundamental issues of principle, there is mutual respect between each other.
"Sir, why are you here? You can't come back and be humiliated, right?"
Some people said they didn't quite understand Wan Anguo's purpose of coming here.
Since you spoke so well of Xu Qingxiao, why did you come here? You thought you were here to help us.
Everyone was full of curiosity.
"I'm here to inquire about Xu Qingxiao's intention article."
Wan Anguo told him his purpose.
Xu Qingxiao wrote a peerless article. He was not dissatisfied at all. On the contrary, he was very happy. He was happy from the bottom of his heart. The human race had another great talent. How could he be unhappy?
If Xu Qingxiao's article was a strategy to stabilize the country, maybe he would not come over and would only praise the Yangtze River where the waves behind push the waves ahead.
Perhaps Qingxiao’s article is a chapter of intention.
He had to come over.
Moreover, he did not come on behalf of himself alone, but on behalf of a group of people.
I would like to ask clearly in advance.
"Maybe Qingxiao hasn't even seen me, so how can I ask?"
They continued to ask.
"Then wait."
"In a few days, the new building of Nanyu Mansion will be built. The Lord of Nanyu Mansion invited him. It doesn't matter if he doesn't see you on weekdays, but he will definitely appear on this day. I will ask him personally at the banquet."
Wan Anguo opened his mouth and told about the banquet held in Nanyu Mansion.
Everyone nodded, and they finally understood why their old dean had traveled a long distance to Nanyu Mansion.
I thought it was for them, but it seems they thought too much.
"Sir, what would happen if the article written by Xu Qingxiao was really a new idea?"
Someone continued to ask, looking a little curious.
As soon as he said this, the voices of the others rang out.
"impossible."
"How could it be new?"
"Zhu Sheng's meaning will be passed down through the ages. It's only been five hundred years, so there can be no new ideas revealed."
"Yes, even if it is really a new idea, so what? Ninety-eight percent of the scholars in the world base their ideas on Zhu Sheng. If he really writes down new ideas, he will be worthless in front of Zhu Sheng."
Everyone spoke and rebutted one after another.
But among the crowd, Wan Anguo fell silent.
He knew that if it was a new idea, it would probably cause some disputes, and there was a certain possibility that it would even cause disputes among the literati in the world.
at the same time.
Nanyu Mansion.
Ping'an County.
In a deserted place.
Xu Qingxiao was currently comprehending the great magical power of Golden Crow Bolong and Golden Crow True Fire.
Compared to the Golden Crow's true fire magical power, Xu Qingxiao cares more about the Golden Crow's dragon-fighting magical power.
In ancient times, the three-legged Golden Crow stood in the sky and was a god-like existence. The Golden Crow clan loved to eat dragons and often hunted dragons.
However, the dragon clan is invincible in combat, so the Golden Crow clan uses their own speed to evolve a set of magical powers to defeat dragons.
It is the ultimate martial art.
Xu Qingxiao comprehended the great magical power of Golden Crow Fighting Dragon, and the great magical power of Golden Crow True Fire was to condense magic power into Golden Crow True Fire, which could burn all things with just a little bit.
However, he currently has no magic power and has not cultivated immortality at all, so he cannot display this great magical power. Unless he reaches a higher level, he cannot condense the Golden Crow True Fire.
So Xu Qingxiao will not practice cultivation for the time being.
One move after another is imprinted in Xu Qingxiao's mind. What Xu Qingxiao lacks most now is martial arts moves. The golden crow and dragon's magical power is even more powerful than a tiger.
A full two hours.
Xu Qingxiao watched the complete magical power of Golden Crow Bolong and memorized every move in his mind.
This great magical power of martial arts has ferocious moves, winning with speed, and vividly interprets speed, ruthlessness and accuracy.
After realizing it, at this moment, Xu Qingxiao wanted to find a spirit testing stake to test her strength.
But after thinking about it, Xu Qingxiao still resisted the mentality of looking for abuse. After all, she had just realized it and was not completely proficient. She should try it again after she is proficient.
The great magical power of martial arts has been understood.
Next comes the really important stuff.
Promoted to the ninth level.
This cannot be delayed any longer.
He is invincible at the tenth rank, and even one against a hundred at the same rank is no problem.
But fighting at the higher level is still a bit difficult. It's okay to fight at the ninth level, but don't even think about fighting at the eighth level.
Cheng Lidong is an eighth-level warrior. Sooner or later, he will have a battle with him. Now that he has gathered the Holy Body of the Great Sun and has the great magical power of Golden Crow and Dragon, as long as he is promoted to the ninth level, he will be able to fight.
It's best to kill him directly, so that there will be no further trouble.
If you can't be beaten to death, you can't be beaten to death by him no matter what.
This is what Xu Qingxiao thinks.
However, there are two ways to advance to the ninth rank.
One is direct promotion.
Another way is to rely on magic to advance.
It is not difficult to be promoted directly, but if you do not rely on magic to be promoted, you will not be able to obtain the treasure left by Emperor Wu.
Think about it.
After some struggle, Xu Qingxiao gritted her teeth and chose to be promoted through different skills.
Two factors.
First, with the Heaven and Earth Wen Palace here, I really don’t need to worry about the strange demonic thoughts corroding me. Furthermore, if it can be solved, then practicing another magic is not a big problem. If it can’t be solved, then it won’t be a big problem.
Secondly, the Baiyi Sect values Emperor Wu's legacy so highly that it can be known with just one's toes that it is a treasure. If he doesn't take it when he has the chance, wouldn't he be a fool?
Combine the above two points.
Xu Qingxiao decided to take a gamble.
At that moment, Xu Qingxiao entered the Wen Palace, silently wrote down the Taiyin Pulse Condensation Technique to Chaoge, and begged the other party to perform it again.
Chao Ge didn't say much, and without any dissuasion, he agreed directly.
After giving the Taiyin Pulse Condensation Technique to Chaoge, Xu Qingxiao only had to wait for the rest of the time.
Based on the previous deduction, Chao Ge told Xu Qingxiao that the complete version of the Taiyin Pulse Condensation Technique could be performed within two hours, so that he could first move his pulse to prepare for promotion to the ninth level.
Therefore, Xu Qingxiao left Wen Palace and began to work on Yunmai.
Ninth level of martial arts.
To condense the pulse.
Condensing the pulse means condensing the 'qi' pulse.
A tenth-level warrior is one who tempers his body and strengthens his qi, blood and body.
When the body is strong, it can condense the energy meridians in the body. Once the energy meridians are condensed, the inner energy can be released.
This kind of energy can be applied to fists and feet, or to swords. It can be understood as things like fist light, palm energy, sword energy, and sword energy.
Once the inner energy is born, the strength will be greatly improved.
Normally, if an ordinary tenth-level warrior punches a stone, it may crack the stone.
But if the inner energy is increased, the stone can be easily blasted into powder.
It was as if Wu Yan easily crushed a huge boulder when he was looking for a deal with him.
Therefore, the biggest difference between the tenth grade and the ninth grade is the inner Qi.
Taiyin Pulse Condensation Technique has two characteristics.
One is to condense the dragon's spiritual veins, and the other is to condense the dragon's inner energy.
To put it simply, it means that the inner energy is strong and domineering.
Just like that, two hours later.
Then the sound of Chaoge rang out.
"My dear brother, I have deduced it, but this magic technique is a bit obscure. I will directly transmit it into your mind and give you enlightenment."
The sound of chaoge rang out.
"Thank you, brother."
Xu Qingxiao thanked her.
The next moment, the complete version of Taiyin Pulse Condensation Technique appeared in my mind.
Xu Qingxiao suddenly realized that this was an enlightenment. There was no need to understand, he could comprehend it directly.
The complete version of Taiyin Pulse Condensation Technique introduced by Chaoge is much more perfect than the previous one.
After the enlightenment.
Xu Qingxiao circulated all the energy and blood in her body, and at this moment, she visualized a dragon in her mind.
In an instant, the dragon mark appeared.
boom!
Just hearing a roaring sound, a Qi pulse condensed along the way.
The Qi pulse is like a dragon, broad and continuous. This is an inner technique, only the sense of intention.
As Xu Qingxiao successfully condensed his pulse, the dragon's evil energy also appeared in an instant.
If the Golden Crow is the desire to kill, this new magical desire is a kind of hatred and a sense of world-weariness, hating everything in the world and making people want to destroy it.
boom.
At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Wen Palace appeared and suppressed the dragon demon species almost without any surprise.
Roar.
The unwilling dragon roared, but it was unable to do anything in the face of the Heaven and Earth Palace. In the end, it could only turn into a ray of light and disappear into the demon catalog.
Suppress the dragon demon species.
Xu Qingxiao also took advantage of the situation and was promoted to the ninth rank.
The Taiyin Dragon Vein is formed in the body, running like a river in an endless stream. The terrifying inner energy circulates throughout the body, allowing the body to transform once again.
This is the benefit brought by Jinpin.
Moreover, with the successful development of the Qi meridians, the Golden Crow and the Dragon in the body also condensed together, self-circulating the great heaven, and the yin and yang merged, bringing huge benefits.
Another two hours.
The sky is covered in the dark night.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao has stabilized his martial arts realm.
Officially entered the ninth level of pulse condensation realm.
In the dark night.
Xu Qingxiao released her inner energy.
A black and white internal energy appeared, the fusion of two different techniques, from yin to yang internal energy.
This is the perfect fusion of the power of the Golden Crow and the power of the dragon.
This inner energy contains the sharpness of the Golden Crow and the domineering power of the Dragon.
Xu Qingxiao tried to continuously release her inner energy.
A full foot long.
The inner energy released by a ninth-level warrior is basically measured in inches.
Xu Qingxiao was a little shocked when she started with just one foot.
Six words came to mind involuntarily.
Magical skills, always divine.
The longer the inner energy is released, the better naturally. I was originally a melee warrior and suddenly became a long-range warrior. Isn't this strong?
Moreover, the Taiyin Pulse Condensation Technique can condense three Qi meridians.
One line is one foot long, but three lines are not three feet long?
In this way, the enemy can be allowed to run eight meters first.
Step into the realm of pulse condensation.
Xu Qingxiao just felt comfortable all over, her overall strength had improved again, and with her inner energy, she didn't think it would be a big problem when she faced Cheng Lidong again.
However, Xu Qingxiao did not take it lightly.
Sneak into the Wen Palace again and look at the demon illustrated book.
The dragon's message appeared on the third stone wall.
[The Taiyin Dragon Demon was transformed by the resentment of the dragon clan of heaven and earth. The origin of the dragon clan was unable to transform into a dragon. He hated all things and killed countless creatures. Later, he was suppressed by the peerless power in the Demonic Abyss of the North Sea, which was terrifying to the sky. 】
[Current state: eighth level of martial arts, will break through to seventh level in half a year]
[If you can suppress it, you can gain the power of the dragon]
——
Good guy, Xu Qingxiao thought it was just an ordinary dragon, but she never thought that it turned out to be the resentment of the dragon clan.
And just like the Golden Crow, it broke through to the seventh level after half a year.
Although her tooth hurt a little, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help it. She still took one step at a time and looked at it first.
Withdrew from the Wen Palace again.
Xu Qingxiao took advantage of the moonlight and walked towards her teacher's home.
Now that he has gathered the Holy Body of the Great Sun and been promoted to the ninth level, Xu Qingxiao's overall strength has increased almost a hundred times.
Fifty miles.
We arrived in about half an hour or so, ten minutes to be precise.
This speed is almost the same as driving on the highway in my previous life.
This is the benefit of improving your strength. At least you will save money on buying horses in the future.
It was already late at night when we arrived at the teacher's house, but the lights were still on in the study and Zhou Ling had not fallen asleep yet.
Xu Qingxiao did not disturb the master's wife, but came outside the study and knocked lightly on the door.
"Enter."
When Zhou Ling spoke, he guessed it was Xu Qingxiao and was not surprised.
The door opened and Xu Qingxiao bowed to Zhou Ling.
"The student came to visit late at night, and I hope the teacher will forgive me."
Stepping into the study room, Xu Qingxiao bowed to Zhou Ling.
"It's just a small thing."
"Qingxiao, this is what you asked me to prepare for you. Please take it."
"There is also something about Mingyue Mountain. I have searched many ancient books, but I can't find where Mingyue Mountain is."
"If you are not in a hurry, Master Rong will help you look for it."
Zhou Ling spoke.
He helped Xu Qingxiao buy the stuff. It was not a scarce item, but he really couldn't find it in Mingyue Mountain.
"Teacher, the student has been found."
Xu Qingxiao replied, telling Zhou Ling not to look for it anymore.
"You found it? Where?"
Zhou Ling asked.
"Looking at the Autumn Mountain."
Xu Qingxiao replied.
The latter frowned immediately, then immediately found a book, flipped through a few pages, and nodded quickly.
"Master, I understand."
He nodded, finally understanding why it was Wangqiu Mountain.
"Teacher, the student will return to Nanyu Mansion soon. After the government examination is over, the student will come back to see the teacher."
Xu Qingxiao had no intention of staying and said goodbye to Zhou Ling directly.
"Okay, be careful along the way."
"You really have to come back after the government examination. I want to have a good talk with you about joining politics."
"This time, your number one position in the imperial examination is stable, but there are some things that I, my teacher, must talk to you about and weigh for you."
Zhou Ling said this.
"Well, I'll see you in a few days. This is my farewell, students."
Xu Qingxiao saluted Zhou Ling again.
Then he left the study room quietly.
Leave Zhou Ling's home.
Xu Qingxiao's goal is to go straight to Wangqiu Mountain.
