Lu Ye very much suspected that Xie Yunhan's strength was only at the seventh level intentionally.
Otherwise, a person who has stayed in the Fox Immortal Valley for twelve years would not be able to achieve this level of cultivation.
The days passed by, and life in Fox Fairy Valley was extremely peaceful. Lu Ye had nothing else to do except patrolling around with Xie Yunhan and maintaining the formation every day.
After the busy first few days, the following time became extremely leisurely.
Almost every day, Lu Ye would contact Feng Yuechan to inform her of Li Baxian's current situation so that she didn't have to worry.
In the past few days, Lu Ye also heard a lot of news from Xie Yunhan.
There are quite a few monks in the entire Fox Immortal Valley, more than eighty of them, including fifteen who are at the ninth level of Yunhe alone.
Such a huge force is comparable to the number of monks in a large Grade A spiritual land. Lu Ye once asked Xie Yunhan sideways, what should the fox demon's subordinates gather so many monks to do? It can't really be a child's play.
Home.
However, when the fox demon was involved, Xie Yunhan did not dare to say anything more. He only said that Lu Ye would understand after some time.
The monks in Fox Fairy Valley would have a group of people go out to hunt for talents every day. The so-called hunting for talents is nothing more than searching for monks, and then making the fox demon faint and bringing them back, so that they can plant the soul secret technique for the fox demon to use.
However, this place is very deep in Taimang Mountain, and there are not many traces of monk activities on weekdays, so no new people have joined Fox Immortal Valley in recent times.
On this day, Lu Ye came back from Xie Yunhan's place for drinking. From a distance, he saw two figures over there moving around, flying swords flying through the void.
He stepped forward to take a look and found that Li Baxian and a woman were sparring and practicing swordsmanship.
That woman was the woman surnamed Yu who was guarding in front of the fox demon's dormitory before. Her name seemed to be Yu Daiwei. She was also a monk at the ninth level of Yunhe. She said that day that she was also a sword cultivator and would go to Li Ba when she had time.
Fairies learn from each other.
Lu Ye has been hanging out with Xie Yunhan these days, but he doesn't know when his fourth senior brother got involved with this woman.
One Yunhe is at the fifth level, and the other is at the ninth level. If they really fight, Li Baxian cannot be his opponent. However, the two of them are just competing on swordsmanship at the moment, so the fight is going back and forth, which is very lively and attractive.
Many monks passing by stopped to watch and point.
The atmosphere here in the Fox Immortal Valley is harmonious. The monks from the two camps from all over Kyushu are as close as one family because of their spiritual and mystical skills. Naturally, this kind of more technical competition is not prohibited.
Lu Ye also went over to watch for a while, but he didn't know much about swordsmanship. Looking around, he could feel that the two people were flying swords back and forth, and the fight was very beautiful.
Suddenly my heart moved.
He is a swordsman practitioner, but no one has been able to teach him in swordsmanship, because no one in the Blue Blood Sect practices swordsmanship. Although he has gained a lot of swordsmanship training experience from the Crazy Sword Sect, but
What the Crazy Blade Sect gave him were very basic things.
Xia Liang was born in the Crazy Sword Sect, and his swordsmanship skills are undoubtedly the essence of the Crazy Sword Sect. Lu Ye felt a lot of pressure when he fought with him before. The angle of the opponent's sword was extremely tricky, even if he was seriously injured, he would not be able to survive.
Show the sharpness of the blade.
If I were to go to Xia Liang to learn from him now... the other party wouldn't refuse, right? Maybe I could ask him to teach me some skills in swordsmanship?
In normal times, this kind of thing would be impossible to achieve, but now that he has been possessed by the fox demon's secret technique, it may not be impossible.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ye immediately walked in the direction of Xia Liang's residence. After a while, he came to an attic and shouted: "Is Fellow Daoist Xia here?"
After the words fell, three breaths later, the window on the second floor was pushed open, Xia Liang's face appeared, and their eyes met. Xia Liang frowned: "Is something wrong?"
The only impact of the soul secret technique planted by the fox demon on a person is to be loyal to the fox demon, and it will not damage the monk's own character.
The two had a lot of enmity before. Even if they entered the Fox Fairy Valley together, it would not change Xia Liang's perception of Lu Ye. It was just because of the fox demon's order that he would never take action against Lu Ye again.
Lu Ye cupped his fists and said, "I'm here to ask fellow Daoist Xia for advice on sword skills!"
Xia Liang raised his brows, looking extremely surprised: "Are you asking me for advice on sword skills?"
"Yes, I hope fellow Taoist Xia will give you some advice."
Xia Liang looked at him steadily for a long time before his frown relaxed, and the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a meaningful smile: "Okay!"
He turned over and jumped down from the attic, flying straight forward, saying: "It's not easy to do anything here, just come with me."
Lu Ye then followed him forward and took a look at Xia Liang's body. He found that his previous injuries should be almost healed.
After a while, he came to an open space. Xia Liang turned around and looked at Lu Ye. He raised his hand and held out his long knife. He was full of energy and said concisely: "Come, let me see what you are capable of!"
Lu Ye clasped his fists: "Please enlighten me!"
When he finished speaking, Fengxing stepped on the ground with both feet, and rushed towards Xia Liang like thunder. He rushed forward, the Panshan sword was unsheathed with a bang, and the fiery red sword light struck him head-on.
Facing this menacing blow, Xia Liang just raised his sword to meet it.
There was a loud bang, and Lu Ye felt a powerful force sweeping in from the front. His right hand holding the knife went numb, and the tiger's mouth cracked.
Xia Liang, however, remained unmoved. He slashed down with the long knife in his hand, and Lu Ye's figure immediately flew out.
The gap in cultivation was too big. Even if Xia Liang asked him to take action first, he would still suffer a big loss.
Fortunately, Xia Liang had no intention of killing him, otherwise Lu Ye would be disabled if he followed the trend with a few more blows.
Lu Ye was able to push Xia Liang to a desperate situation that day and almost had the possibility of killing him, but that was because Xia Liang was severely injured. As a disciple of the Mad Sword Sect, he was ranked among the top ten on the Lingxi Ranking.
Xia Liang can also be said to have outstanding talent. How can Lu Ye, who is at the ninth level of Yunhe like him, be able to compete with him.
Landing in a panic, Lu Ye couldn't help but retreat back. When he regained his balance, he attacked again.
Practicing in the mirage realm can certainly improve your ability to kill enemies, but how can it compare to the benefits of fighting against the most orthodox swordsman like Xia Liang?
Every confrontation, every time he was repulsed, gave Lu Ye some insights into the angle of the opponent's sword, the timing of the sword, and the stimulation of spiritual power... All these things, even if Xia Liang just simply thought
Teach him a lesson, Lu Ye also benefited a lot from this confrontation.
Lu Ye increasingly felt that it was the right choice for him to come to Xia Liang for discussion.
It would be better if he could give him guidance on how to practice swordsmanship.
However, although Xia Liang said that he would not kill Lu Ye because he was possessed by the fox demon's secret technique, he still had resentment towards Lu Ye in his heart. It was undoubtedly unrealistic to ask him to teach Lu Ye how to practice swordsmanship. This discussion was because Xia Liang wanted to vent his resentment.
During the fight here, Zhou Yuntian came to Xie Yunhan's residence uninvited.
In the entire Fox Fairy Valley, Xie Yunhan has the oldest qualifications. He has stayed here for twelve years and is unmatched by anyone. Likewise, he is also the oldest.
But if the fox demon values the most, it is undoubtedly Zhou Yuntian. It can be said that Zhou Yuntian is the big steward of the entire Fox Fairy Valley. He comes forward to solve all big and small matters. Usually the fox demon lives deep in his own house. In the dormitory, he basically did not show his face.
In the room, the two of them sat at the banquet and talked happily over wine.
Zhou Yuntian came to see Xie Yunhan this time, mainly because he wanted to ask about Lu Ye's situation. As the only two formation cultivators in the entire Fox Immortal Valley, Zhou Yuntian naturally had to pay more attention to him.
"Brother Xie, what is Fellow Daoist Lu's attainments in the formation?" After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhou Yuntian explained the purpose of his visit.
"He is a genius!" Xie Yunhan praised him without hesitation.
Zhou Yuntian was stunned for a moment, because the Fox Immortal Valley had recruited several formation cultivators before, but none of those formation cultivators were attracted by Xie Yunhan. Although Xie Yunhan's own cultivation level was not very high, he was very accomplished in the formation path. But it's not low, otherwise I wouldn't be able to maintain the formation of the entire Fox Fairy Valley.
So when he first heard that he spoke so highly of Lu Ye, Zhou Yuntian was stunned.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Lu's attainments in the formation path are much higher than Xie's. Although I have not made much progress in my cultivation over the years, I have spent a lot of time on the formation path. I ask myself, at the level of Yunhe Realm, what is my attainment in the formation path? There won't be many people who can beat me, unless they are from a major formation cultivation sect, but Brother Lu's attainments in the formation are really admirable. Let's put it this way, give me another ten years to master the formation. I can't compare to Brother Lu in this area."
After getting acquainted with Lu Ye, Xie Yunhan also asked Lu Ye for advice on formations. Lu Ye didn't have much to hide about this, so Xie Yunhan benefited a lot.
Zhou Yuntian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said cautiously: "Brother Xie, isn't it a bit exaggerated? I know Brother Xie's attainments in the formation. Is Brother Lu really as powerful as you say?"
Xie Yunhan shook his head and said: "You are not a formation cultivator, so you don't understand, but I can guarantee that what I said is absolutely no exaggeration. I even feel that Brother Lu did not fully demonstrate his ability in the formation, for fear of hurting me. "
"If so... wouldn't it be like finding a treasure?" Zhou Yuntian looked excited.
Lu Ye's fourth-level cultivation is nothing in the Fox Immortal Valley, but if his attainments in formation are as exaggerated as Xie Yunhan said, it will definitely be a treasure to the Fox Immortal Valley.
"Speaking of which, even if Brother Zhou doesn't come to me today, I'm going to come to you."
"Brother Xie means..."
"If we take action next time, Brother Lu will be in charge of setting up the formation and I will assist. Maybe it will happen!"
"I want to report this matter to your Majesty, and your Majesty will make the decision. But in this case, thank you, brother..."
Xie Yunhan raised his hand: "As long as it helps your Majesty accomplish something, it doesn't matter who is in charge and who is the assistant. I, Xie Yunhan, have been in Fox Fairy Valley for so many years, how can I not even see this through?"
"Yes, yes, everything is just to help Your Majesty accomplish this." Saying this, he stood up hurriedly, "This matter is important. I will go see Your Majesty now and tell her the good news. Your Majesty will definitely be very happy.
