Qin Yun jumped down from the cliff of tens of feet, and landed steadily in front of the visitor.
Luliu handed him the clothes in her hand and said, "The lady is waiting for you at Hancui Pavilion. She said she has something to do."
Although the girl has already become Shui Wan Ning's disciple, her title has not changed.
Qin Yun put on his clothes and immediately walked towards Hancui Pavilion.
On the side of the valley, only a hundred steps away from Hantan Waterfall, stands a majestic building. With its five-story height, it can easily overlook the entire Hancui Valley, where Hancui Pavilion is located.
A year ago, Qingyunzi gave the entire Hancui Valley to Shui Wanning, but due to the need for renovation, it was not until half a year ago that he officially moved in.
Hancui Valley has beautiful scenery and rich spiritual energy. It can be called an excellent place for cultivation. Compared with the original Yunshui Xiaozhu, it is definitely much better. What Qin Yun likes most is the Hantan Waterfall in the valley, which is similar to the previous Yunwu Mountain.
, it’s a pity that there is a red carp missing from the pond.
The area of Hancui Pavilion is very large. After renovation, Qin Yun alone occupied the first floor as a retreat residence. The living conditions are far from comparable to that of Yunshui Xiaozhu.
The five-story pavilion is built against the mountain, with cornices and carved beams, and is surrounded by green trees and flowers.
Although it is already the season of autumn, the flowers are still in full bloom, and the buildings against the background add a bit of beauty to the quiet valley.
Shui Wan Ning was on the top floor of Hancui Pavilion. When she saw Qin Yun coming up, she raised her hand to signal him to sit down and talk.
When Qin Yun sat down cross-legged on the grass, she asked softly: "I just watched you practice swordsmanship. The sword energy is majestic and has the potential to condense the sword. Have you made another breakthrough in swordsmanship?"
"Yes, master!" Qin Yun replied in a deep voice.
After a year of dedicated practice, the state of Qi refining has been extremely consolidated. With the increasing advancement of Jiuyang Xuan Gong, he is only one step away from the innate state. All he has to do is penetrate the final Zenith acupoint and introduce Qi into the body to build the Zhoutian Da Da.
cycle!
The energy in Dantian is extremely strong. Even if the sword move just now was not done at full strength, it was still very powerful.
Shui Wanning's beautiful eyes showed a look of relief, and she sighed: "I originally thought it would take you two years to reach this point. I didn't expect that one year would be enough. There are tens of thousands of disciples in Tiancheng. In terms of talent and qualifications, cultivation
With your hard work, you can definitely be in the top three!"
"Disciple, are you ashamed of yourself?" Qin Yun felt a little ashamed.
His talents and qualifications are indeed very good, but they are not unparalleled. The reason why his strength has improved much faster than others is that, in addition to his own diligence, the Qiankun Tiantian Stone has played a great role.
With the help of the Qiankun Sky-Building Stone, Qin Yun can practice sword techniques and calculate the techniques. Practicing Xuan Kung can often achieve twice the result with half the effort. Even without the guidance of a famous teacher, he will not take detours and go astray. Compared with others, he does not know how much time and time he saves.
energy.
Shui Wanning waved her hand: "You don't need to be modest."
Shui Wanning was completely inspired by this. She has not left the Tiancheng Sword Sect this year. She has spent a long time with Qin Yun, and it can be said that she has watched him continue to improve every day.
What makes her most incredible is that in addition to practicing internal sword skills, Qin Yun can also spare a lot of time and energy to learn the refining of talismans. So far, he has been able to make seven or eight kinds of cloud talismans. The success rate is even closer.
up to your own level.
Regarding this apprentice's talent, Shui Wanning felt powerless in her heart. I'm afraid that before long, she, as a master, would have nothing to teach Qin Yun!
Suppressing the thoughts in her heart, Shui Wanning continued: "With your current strength, you can enter Yinfeng Gorge to practice and do sect tasks. I just happened to have used up the blood of the black snakes on hand, so you can help me catch a few black-scaled snakes.
."
The Black Snake is a low-level monster that lives in the depths of Yinfeng Gorge. Its blood is as thick as ink and is one of the best materials for refining cloud talismans and spiritual talismans.
Of course Qin Yun had no objection and immediately agreed.
After practicing in seclusion in Hancui Valley for half a year, it is also time to go out to practice and hone one's skills and mind, and prepare for the impact of the great innate realm. You must know that this level is definitely not easy to pass.
There are countless warriors in the vast Jiuzhou, but most of them stay in the realm of physical training and qi refining. Only a few can break through the innate pursuit of the great road. The innate bottleneck is not that as long as you penetrate the Zenith acupoint, you will definitely succeed.
The biggest bottleneck is the construction of the great cycle of the universe. I don’t know how many people are stuck in these two levels, unable to break through, and stay in the realm of Qi refining for the rest of their lives.
Qin Yun's foundation is extremely solid, but his mental training has not yet reached a perfect level. Improving his confidence and condensing his soul through combat experience will be very beneficial for him to finally pass the test.
Saying goodbye to Shui Wan Ning, Qin Yun left Hancui Pavilion.
I met Luliu at the door. The girl obviously knew that he was going to practice. She held his sleeve and whispered: "I heard that Yinfeng Gorge is very dangerous. Intermediate or even advanced monsters often appear. You should be careful!"
Qin Yun's heart felt hot and he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms: "I know, don't worry!"
Luliu suddenly blushed with embarrassment.
She was fierce and bold in front of others, but she couldn't get used to Qin Yun's affectionate behavior. She struggled hard for a few times and then leaned on Qin Yun's chest helplessly: "Then I'll wait for you to come back."
Qin Yun chuckled, lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, released his embrace and strode out.
After leaving Hancui Valley, Qin Yun went straight to Tianji Palace in Xuanwu City.
As an inner disciple, Qin Yun is quite incompetent. The other disciples are all trying their best to take on tasks and accumulate contributions to the sect. He has only been to the Zongsi Academy a few times this year, and he still does the extra tasks that must be completed.
This time I came to Tianji Palace by the way. Since I was going to Yinfeng Gorge for training, it would be good to do a sect mission to earn some contribution. As the saying goes, mosquitoes are still meat even though they are small.
The clan hall was as lively and noisy as ever. Whenever the steward inside raised a task card, many disciples would rush forward, fearing that they would be half a step behind and miss the opportunity.
Qin Yun is an inner sect disciple, so of course he does not need to compete with the outer sect disciples. The inner sect disciples are the backbone of the sect and can accept more and better types of tasks, and there is also a special place responsible for distributing tasks.
"Senior Brother Qin Yun!"
Just as he was about to bypass the bustling crowd in the hall and walk inside, a voice full of surprise suddenly came from beside him.
Qin Yun sounded familiar and couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of the sound.
I saw a young man in green shirt squeezing through the crowd and walking over quickly. He immediately smiled and said: "So Junior Brother Xiao Ming, you are also here to take over the sect's mission?"
Xiao Ming is an outer disciple of Zhui Yunfeng. He usually serves as a servant for Qing Yunzi. He has a good relationship with Qin Yun and is considered one of Qin Yun's few friends in the same sect.
Xiao Ming has a smart and active temperament. Although he has good talents, his level of strength is not high. He has dabbled in swordsmanship, hidden weapons, talismans, alchemy, Qimen Dunjia and other skills. He is typically proficient in everything and sparsely in others.
However, Xiao Ming's family has a very unusual identity. He is Qingyunzi's grandnephew and descendant. Because of this relationship, he is at home in Zhuiyun Peak. No one will bully and look down on him, and he is doing well.
Xiao Ming looked excited: "Senior Brother Qin Yun, it's so great to see you!"
Qin Yun couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong? Do you need my help with anything?"
Xiao Ming nodded vigorously. He really had something to ask Qin Yun for help!
It turned out that Xiao Ming had not practiced hard recently and was scolded by Qingyunzi, who ordered him to accumulate two hundred sect contributions within three months, otherwise he would be expelled from the sect.
This time it really cost Xiao Ming his life. He was a lazy person and had no ambition at all. He only completed sect tasks a few times a year and couldn't save two hundred sect contributions in three years.
In desperation, he had no choice but to try his luck at the Zongshiyuan. Otherwise, if he was really kicked out of the mountain, his family would be too embarrassed to go back.
It's just that Xiao Ming's strength is really not that high. He's only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. No one can even form a team with him.
When he was at a loss, he saw Qin Yun and immediately seemed to grasp a life-saving straw.
Understanding the reason, Qin Yun immediately smiled and said: "That's no problem. I'm about to go down to Yinfeng Gorge. Let's form a team together. What mission do you want to do?"
"Yinfeng Gorge" Xiao Ming secretly complained in his heart.
At the gate of Tiancheng Sword Sect, there are three dangerous places: Fire Dragon Cave, Hanming Cave and Yinfeng Gorge. Yinfeng Gorge is the most dangerous and difficult to enter because both Fire Dragon Cave and Hanming Cave are divided into upper and lower spaces, plus mining inside them
He has many disciples, so it is very convenient to seek help if something happens.
However, the Yinfeng Gorge is a vast area, deep into the Manglong Mountains where the wind is biting all year round. There are countless ferocious beasts and monsters living in it. Disciples who do not have enough strength will never dare to break into it easily.
Even when I go, I do so in groups, rarely alone or in groups of two or three.
Every year, some sect disciples who relied on their own force and acted boldly fell into it and never came back.
However, he also knew that Qin Yun's strength was extraordinary. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Let's go to Yinfeng Gorge to collect Yang-returning grass!"
Huanyang grass is a unique spiritual grass in Yinfeng Gorge. It only grows in areas where the wind is raging, so it is not easy to collect.
Huanyang grass can be used to refine Huanyang pill and Huanyang wine. Regular drinking of the latter can strengthen the marrow and bones, and condense the vitality and blood. After brewing it, Tiancheng Jianzong specially supplied it to the army of the Yan Dynasty, so it is needed every year.
Collect in large quantities.
Collection tasks are very common in sect tasks, and corresponding rewards will be given according to the quantity and grade of the collected items. Xiao Ming's choice of this task is more in line with his actual situation. Otherwise, Qin Yun would take him to hunt the Wind Dire Beast. He
Absolutely not.
"Then collect the sun-returning grass!"
Qin Yun nodded in agreement. He took on the sect's mission just incidentally, and it was a good thing to be able to help Xiao Ming.
So the two of them accepted the sect's mission of collecting Yang Huancao, took the necessary equipment and supplies, and left Xuanwu City for Yinfeng Gorge.
