In the early morning of the next day, Li Muchan was practicing the Eight Methods of Drinking Tiger in his small courtyard. The bright sunshine was shining on him, making him feel warm and comfortable.
Purple Smoke Peak is towering and connected with the floating clouds. The climate changes drastically. When there is no sunshine, the coldness penetrates to the bone marrow. When the sun comes out, the coldness disappears and the world changes again...
He was dressed in a moon-white silk satin outfit. When there was no sunlight, he still felt cold. But when the sunlight hit him, he suddenly felt warm and his movements became softer and smoother.
"Ding ding!" Two crisp sounds came from outside, and Li Muchan raised his voice: "Come in."
The door knocker is made of Ziyan Peak's unique stone. The sound of the knock is similar to that of knocking on a jade rock, which does not disturb people's mind.
"Squeak" the courtyard door opened, and two men in green shirts came in. Li Muchan moved non-stop, as slowly as water, and the Eye of the Void had already taken a look at them.
The two men in green shirts, one as tall and majestic as a lion, and the other as delicate and slender as a jade tree standing in the wind, both in their twenties, stood aside and did not disturb Li Muchan's practice.
The burly young man's rugged face was smiling, while the handsome man's jade-like face was cold and proud.
Li Muchan slowly finished his movements and made a closing gesture. After returning, he clasped his fists and smiled: "I'm sorry! I'm Li Wuji, I wonder if these two senior brothers are...?"
The rough young man cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Haha, Junior Brother Li, my name is Qiao Zaixian, and this is Junior Brother Lin Beihai. We came here rashly and didn't bother you, right?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Qiao, Senior Brother Lin, please——!"
The three of them came to the small pavilion in the center and sat down. Li Muchan made tea and served it. He smiled and sat across from the two of them.
Qiao Zaixian took a sip of tea, slowly put it down, and said with a smile: "Junior brother Li, how did you sleep last night? It was very windy on the mountain. I remember when I first went up the mountain, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night. The wind sounded like a ghost, which was very noisy.
, can’t sleep at all, right, Junior Brother Lin?”
Lin Beihai sipped tea indifferently, nodded slightly, and stared at the scenery outside the pavilion intently.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I'm okay, I slept very deeply and couldn't hear the wind outside."
"Junior brother Li, your courtyard is great." Qiao Zaixian said with a smile: "My courtyard is on the wind outlet, and this courtyard is in the center, where the wind cannot blow in. It seems that the palace master really values you!"
Li Muchan smiled and took a sip of tea. The two of them didn't know the purpose of their visit, so it was better to talk less.
Lin Beihai rolled his eyes and glanced at Qiao Zaixian. Qiao Zaixian smiled and said, "Junior brother Li, what kind of martial arts did you practice just now?"
Li Muchan said: "The Eight Methods of Drinking Tiger."
"The Eight Methods of Drinking Tiger..." Qiao Zaixian pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I've heard of the martial arts of Drinking Tiger House, and it can be considered a pretty good martial arts."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I learned it from Hu Daxia, how to stretch your muscles and strengthen your body."
"Haha..." Qiao Zaixian laughed, shook his head and said: "Although this Eight Methods of Drinking Tiger is not a top martial arts, it is overkill for strengthening the body and moving the muscles and bones."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "The Eight Tiger Drinking Techniques are indeed mysterious. Isn't it considered top-notch martial arts?" The martial arts in our Zishang Palace are even more powerful?"
"That's natural!" Qiao Zaixian laughed and said: "Yinhuzhai is just a second-rate small sect, but our Zishang Palace is a first-rate sect, how can we compare with it!"
Li Muchan said: "I heard from the palace master that the martial arts in the palace are suitable for women to practice, while men's mental skills are inferior."
"Well..." Qiao Zaixian sighed helplessly: "It's really close, but we practice harder and are not inferior to all the senior sisters!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Diligence can make up for weakness."
"Although our mental skills are not as good as those of you fellow apprentices, we are much better than other sects, so Junior Brother Li, don't be disappointed, just practice hard." Qiao Zaixian said with a smile.
Li Muchan nodded: "Thank you, Senior Brother Qiao."
Qiao Zaixian said: "Junior brother Li, I'm here to remind you that your mentality is not as good as others'. If others look down on us, don't take it too seriously!"
Li Muchan was startled and nodded slowly: "I understand."
Qiao Zaixian patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you want to be successful, use your own skills. If you are strong in martial arts, you will naturally be proud of yourself."
Qiao Zaixian was cordial and friendly, while Lin Beihai looked indifferently and looked at them. Li Muchan responded with a smile, wondering about their purpose of coming, but he didn't use his telepathy to detect it. It was too boring.
"Ding ding!" There was another crisp sound outside the door.
Li Muchan raised his voice and said, "Please come in.
A woman in a yellow shirt pushed open the door and came in. She was petite, exquisite and beautiful. She walked lightly into the small courtyard and saw the three people in the small pavilion.
"Oh, you two have very good ears." She curled her lips half-smilingly, and Yingying came to the pavilion, her bright eyes falling on Li Muchan's face.
Li Muchan stood up, clasped his fists and smiled: "I've met senior sister."
"My surname is Luo." The woman in yellow shirt said with a smile: "I heard that the palace master has accepted a male disciple, so I came here specially to have a look."
Li Muchan smiled and said nothing.
The woman in yellow shirt said: "The palace master has always been opposed to accepting male disciples. This time she broke the precept herself. Let me see what kind of extraordinary person she is."
Qiao Zaixian said: "Junior Brother Li, let me introduce to you. This is Senior Sister Luo Jiang Yanluo, who is the leader of our Zishang Palace."
Luo Jiangyan glanced at him sideways and hummed: "Junior brother Qiao, don't give me soup, are you talking bad about us and sowing discord?!"
Qiao Zaixian laughed twice to cover up his embarrassment: "Senior Sister Luo, you are too worried. Like Senior Sister, I am just curious and curious."
"Hmph, who doesn't know how evil you are!" Luo Jiangyan curled his lips and said, "Do you really think you can turn the world upside down? The palace master is too lazy to care about you!"
Qiao Zaixian chuckled and said, "Why can't I understand?"
"Hypocrisy!" Luo Jiangyan glared at him angrily: "You are really capable of surpassing the Palace Master, so don't use your thoughts to make these crooked tricks useless!"
Qiao Zaixian shook his head and said: "The palace master is so talented, I can't even match him!"
"That's not necessarily true." Luo Jiangyan squinted at him: "Maybe you can understand the secret knowledge of Zhaoxia Palace!"
Qiao Zaixian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No one has been able to realize it for thousands of years, but I don't have that ability."
"Hmph, what you say is true!" Luo Jiangyan curled his lips and waved his hands: "You guys can have a good chat, let's go!"
She turned around and walked away with a light and graceful gait.
Li Muchan and Qin Yeqiu were standing under the steps in front of Zhaoxia Hall. The sun was hanging in the sky. Li Muchan had the illusion that he could touch it with his hand.
He was wearing a green shirt, making hunting noises, but Qin Yeqiu's purple shirt remained motionless. The sun shone warmly on his body, dispelling the chill of the wind. The mountain breeze was refreshing and blowing, carrying the gloomy atmosphere of the vast mountains.
"Senior sister, I wonder what the first generation palace lord's husband's surname is...?" Li Muchan pointed at Chaoxia Palace and asked with squinted eyes.
He looked at the plaque carefully. It had been imprinted in his mind for a long time, and he found no clues. His intuition was silent and had no effect.
"Ma Shaoyang." Qin Yeqiu looked at the plaque quietly.
"Senior sister, for thousands of years, no one has solved the puzzle?" Li Muchan asked.
Qin Yeqiu shook his head gently.
Li Muchan asked: "Is it so difficult?" It stands to reason that you should hide your inner thoughts here. Isn't this Senior Ma a person with extraordinary ambition?"
"Yeah." Qin Yeqiu nodded.
Li Muchan said: "Then this puzzle shouldn't be difficult. It's rare that no one has solved it for thousands of years."
"...It makes some sense." Qin Yeqiu moved his gaze from the plaque to his face and looked at him quietly.
Li Muchan lowered his head and muttered: "If it's not difficult, why has no one solved it yet?" Maybe he has fallen into a misunderstanding. There is nothing weird on the plaque, right?"
Qin Yeqiu said: "The material is the same as the doors and windows. I have explored it carefully, and the key lies in these three words."
"How did everyone realize this?" Li Muchan asked.
Qin Yeqiu shook his head gently: "Everyone has his own method, which is kept secret."
Li Muchan said: "Wouldn't it be better for everyone to brainstorm ideas?"
Qin Yeqiu smiled lightly: "This idea is too wishful thinking."
Li Muchan stroked his forehead and sighed: "I'm too naive!" I also want to understand it."
Qin Yeqiu nodded and said: "The male disciples have worked hard on these three words, but all have failed, so they have to give up. You can practice enlightenment at the same time.
Li Muchan said: "I wonder if Senior Ma has any handwriting?"
Qin Yeqiu said: "Yes, it is in Zhengyang Hall. You can go there and look around."
"Is it an authentic work?" Li Muchan asked.
After understanding these three words, so many people should be able to think of reading Ma Shaoyang's manuscript. No matter how good the book is, it cannot withstand such reading.
"It's an authentic work," Qin Yeqiu said.
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows: "Senior sister, please teach me the secret method."
"Go in!" Qin Yeqiu turned around and entered the Chaoxia Palace. Li Muchan followed him suspiciously, and soon entered the main hall. The decorations in the hall were simple, but there was an elegant atmosphere.
There is a low couch in the southwest corner. The sunlight shines on the couch through the window, and the cloud patterns are clearly visible on the moon-white back and armrests.
"Sit on." Qin Yeqiu pointed to the low couch.
Li Muchan didn't ask any questions, and sat cross-legged on the couch. Qin Yeqiu sat behind him. A faint fragrance came from before his nose, refreshing as ice and snow.
Qin Yeqiu said: "Zishang Palace martial arts can only be practiced if it has a seed. Without this seed, knowing the mental method is useless. I will plant the seed for you first."
She stretched out her jade palm, and a cool breath penetrated into his body from his vest, followed the meridians for a week, and finally entered the Dantian, hovering in the Dantian for a moment, forming a vortex.
The cold breath poured in continuously from the vest, and after a week it penetrated into the Dantian, carrying the original internal force in the meridians, and was sucked into the whirlpool.
Suddenly, Li Muchan felt his eyes go dark, and his whole body's energy and energy were also sucked into the whirlpool, and he lost consciousness. It seemed like a long time, and then it seemed like a moment. His eyes brightened up, and the light of Yuantuo kept flickering, and he felt light and at ease.
Appear.
After about a cup of tea, the round light disappeared, and Li Muchan woke up. All kinds of feelings returned to his body. The cool breath in his vest, the emptiness in his dantian, and the comfort of sitting upright all appeared in his heart one by one. A mosquito-like whisper came from his ears, ~~

-Updated first release~~ But it is clearly audible, like a thin thread drilling into the ear: "Junior brother, listen carefully to the good mental method and understand how it works..."
Qin Yeqiu explained the mental method in detail, and then mobilized his internal energy to circulate in Li Muchan's meridians three times, asking Li Muchan to remember it and then exit.
