The rumors behind these are mostly spread among the other six branches, because when Xu Yin first started, he broke through four realms in a year, which was unprecedented and shocking.
Such stagnant cultivation creates a huge contrast, which makes people suspicious, and even many people who are originally jealous spread slander.
Xu Yin, however, allowed the rumors to be broadcast and turned a deaf ear to them. He spent his whole day just studying how to live forever and rejuvenate his youth.
Until one day, Tian Buyi suddenly received an invitation from Nagato to gather at Tongtian Peak.
When he came back, Tian Buyi looked very ugly. Next to him was a rustic young man in shabby clothes.
"This is your ninth junior brother, his name is Zhang Xiaofan."
The disciples introduced themselves to Zhang Xiaofan one by one and were very enthusiastic.
Junior sister Tian Linger was even more happy, shouting that she finally had a junior brother.
When they arrived at Xu Yin's place, they saw that he seemed to be in a daze and absent-minded. Tian Linger pushed and shouted dissatisfiedly, which finally brought Xu Yin back to his senses.
Xu Yin looked at Zhang Xiaofan and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I never thought that I had been practicing for so many years that I didn't notice the plot officially started.
But he smiled and said: "Junior Brother Zhang, I am..."
Tian Linger interrupted: "Oh, seventh brother, when you were in a daze just now, the senior brother had already introduced you to the junior brother. You won't have Alzheimer's disease, right?"
Everyone else was holding back their laughter, but Xu Yin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Junior sister, you have been studying Taoism for many years and have made some achievements. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to wait for Alzheimer's disease. Senior brother would have passed away in the past two years."
Then Xu Yin looked at Zhang Xiaofan who looked curious and said with a smile: "Junior brother Zhang, among all the disciples in our Dazhu Peak, I am the only one who looks older than my master."
Zhang Xiaofan said hurriedly: "No, junior brother doesn't think so."
Xu Yin laughed and said, "Junior brother, don't worry about not being able to take a joke. Your senior sister gave me the nickname "Old Man" in private, and even the sixth and fifth senior brothers also called me that as a joke."
Zhang Xiaofan looked at these senior brothers with interesting personalities, and the tension in his heart dissipated a lot.
"Okay, Daren, take your junior brother to his room, and you will teach him the techniques from now on."
After Tian Buyi finished speaking, he shook his head slightly, with a look of disappointment on his face, and said to himself: "In the next Seven Meridians Competition, my Dazhu Peak branch has no hope."
Xu Yin had excellent ears, so he could certainly hear clearly. He smiled softly and was not interested in the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition.
After that, his senior brother Song Daren took him to the cabin where he lived and taught him the first level of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao.
In addition, he goes to the bamboo forest every day to cut bamboo for physical exercise.
Although the bamboos in the Qingyunmen Bamboo Sea are extraordinary and extremely tough, Xu Yin really scorned the idea of chopping bamboos for physical exercise.
Watching Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Linger cutting bamboo in the bamboo forest day after day, one day Xu Yin couldn't bear it anymore.
He appeared in front of Zhang Xiaofan, who was paralyzed on the ground, "Junior brother Zhang, if you chop bamboo with a hatchet day after day, although it can train your body, it is definitely not the best way to do it."
Zhang Xiaofan glanced at Xu Yin, got up from the ground very stubbornly, picked up the hatchet, and while chopping the uncut black-knotted bamboo in front of him, he said: "Senior Brother Seventh, this is the task assigned by Master, no matter how you chop it,
No matter how late it is, it must be cut before it counts.”
Xu Yin smiled and said: "I know, you might as well take half a day out every day and follow the method I teach you to strengthen your body. It will only take half a month at most. Cutting these bamboos will no longer be so laborious."
Zhang Xiaofan said in surprise: "Seventh Senior Brother, is there such a method?"
Xu Yin stroked his beard and said: "Your seven senior brothers entered Taoism through martial arts. When it comes to Taoism, they may not be as good as several senior brothers, but when it comes to martial arts, the entire Qingyun Sect can only bow to me."
Zhang Xiaofan had heard a lot about Xu Yin from Tian Linger. When talking about his martial arts cultivation, he once mentioned that if he were to deal with a cultivator below the fifth level of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, he should be able to defeat him.
This shows that his martial arts cultivation in the mortal world is so high that it has reached a level that is astonishing to the world and cannot be matched by even slightly better monks.
He was very happy to hear that Xu Yin was willing to teach him the martial arts and body training methods, and was also very curious about how Xu Yin had broken through four realms in a year but then stagnated.
"Seventh Senior Brother, are you willing to teach others your skills?"
"Haha, it's not a big deal. Cultivators control the natural power of heaven and earth and don't pay attention to pure body refining techniques.
Look at my movements, follow this, complete ten groups each in half a day, eat more meals and supplement meat, and your strength and body will naturally grow."
With that said, Xu Yin taught Zhang Xiaofan the body refining method he created.
These movements were originally the basic movements used by Xu Yin in the past to cultivate both internal and external skills, and to assist the growth of internal skills with external skills.
The movements are not complicated, but they all take into account coordination, explosive power, and endurance training. As long as you practice according to standards, you can make some progress in half a month.
Normally, these movements must be coordinated with the practice of internal strength and mental methods.
If there is no corresponding inner strength and mental method, it will be impossible to absorb the energy and blood flowing all day long from practicing these movements.
Although it will cause a certain degree of waste, it is not harmful, but the energy and blood that cannot be absorbed will inevitably lead to another situation...
Xu Yin looked at Zhang Xiaofan who was sweating all over and exercising like crazy, and couldn't help but laugh. I'm afraid if he continues to practice, Zhang Xiaofan will become the legendary muscle brother.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't know what Xu Yin was thinking. He was tough and honest. He followed Professor Xu Yin's movements and practiced for half a month without any compromise.
He found that the efficiency of chopping bamboo was indeed much better than before. At this time, he had discovered that chopping bamboo had little effect on improving his physical fitness. It was mainly due to these weird movements taught by Xu Yin.
Even so, he never became complacent, but continued to practice every day, cutting bamboo in the afternoon, and practicing Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao and Brahma Prajna in the evening.
Just like in the original work, because the cultivation methods of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao and Da Brahma Prajna are opposite, their cultivation progress is extremely slow.
Tian Buyi, who was already dissatisfied with Zhang Xiaofan's qualifications, became even more annoyed now.
Zhang Xiaofan, who has a weak personality, has become more introverted as a result, but his studies have not stopped for a day.
Zhang Xiaofan encountered obstacles in his practice and was scolded by his master, which made him feel depressed.
One day, I saw Xu Yin meditating in the bamboo forest. I couldn't help but sit next to him. He seemed to have something to talk to, but he didn't dare to disturb Xu Yin's practice.
Xu Yin had already noticed his arrival, slowly stopped his work, and looked at Zhang Xiaofan.
"Xiao Fan, are you feeling depressed because of the scolding from your master during the day?"
Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly said: "Master scolded me because I was too stupid and my qualifications were too mediocre. I had offended Master, so how could I complain?"
