Chapter 157: Experts watch the door, laymen watch the excitement
"Yijian, it's a waste if you use the Thunder Stone..."
The ancestor was indeed an upright old boy, and he spoke without any mincing words. Zhao Yijian's face turned dark when he heard this.
"Ancestor, do you want me to refine a natal flying sword?"
Jing Shizhen was also looking at it with interest. The natal flying sword can improve its quality as one's cultivation level increases, and it can be stored in the body. Who wouldn't want it?
"You? Why are you refining that? The Yinshen will be ruined in this life."
The old boy made a killing statement as soon as he spoke, saying that Jing Shizhen's face was darker than Zhao Yijian's.
"Okay, I'll teach you the Sword Sect's sword control techniques, as well as the weapon refining techniques for refining flying swords and natal flying swords."
When I reach the age of my ancestors, I have already lived my life as I please, and I don’t care about the looks of others.
After explaining, the ancestor raised his hand and pointed at Su Xiaofan's eyebrows.
Seeing that the ancestor moved his hands without any warning, Su Xiaofan knew that the ancestor wanted to transfer his spiritual consciousness, but his body couldn't help but want to avoid it.
However, the Ancestor's movements seemed slow, but when Su Xiaofan's awareness reached his body, the Ancestor's thumb was already pressed between Su Xiaofan's eyebrows.
"Boom!" Su Xiaofan only felt a roar in his mind, and then a huge amount of information appeared in Su Xiaofan's mind.
A weapon refining technique and a sword-control technique were all clearly presented in Su Xiaofan's mind.
Different from the master's original spiritual consciousness transmission, what the ancestor passed into Su Xiaofan's mind not only contained supplements and annotations about the exercises, but also segments of images. It is precisely because of this that the amount of information is so huge.
.
Su Xiaofan took a deep breath. He knew that he would not be able to finish it in a while. Anyway, the exercises and weapon refining skills would not disappear. He would try to figure it out later.
"Huh? The strength of the spiritual consciousness is pretty good. It's only one step away from the Yin Shen leaving the body."
After Su Xiaofan opened his eyes, the ancestor nodded approvingly, while Master Jing Shizhen seemed to have accepted the teaching and was closing his eyes to digest the information in his mind.
After a few minutes, Jing Shizhen also woke up, with a look of surprise on her face, obviously very satisfied with her sword-wielding skills.
"Okay, let's think more about the art of refining weapons, and cultivate the Thunder Bamboo in advance to prepare for refining weapons in the future."
The ancestor waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
"Yes, Ancestor!" The three of them bowed respectfully before retreating.
"Senior Brother Zhao, what kind of cultivation is our ancestor?"
It wasn't until he got in the car and left the villa area that Su Xiaofan dared to ask. He knew that his ancestor must have strong spiritual consciousness, and if he had asked just now, his ancestor would definitely hear him.
"I don't know, I am always above the Yinshen. By the way, if you encounter anything in the Qingcheng restricted area, mention the name of the ancestor so that..."
Zhao Yijian shook his head. He really didn't know and had never seen his ancestor take action.
But Zhao Yijian knows one thing, that is, the old monkey in the Qingcheng restricted area has a very good relationship with his ancestor.
That old monkey is not a simple extraordinary creature, it is the king of the Qingcheng restricted area, and all five extraordinary creatures have been suppressed by it.
However, Zhao Yijian once saw with his own eyes that his ancestor was playing chess with an old monkey in the restricted area. Because he regretted playing chess, he was knocked on the forehead by his ancestor, but the old monkey showed his teeth and grinned without having an attack.
Generally, the extraordinary creatures that have just evolved are probably stronger than the cultivators in the early stages of Three Flowers Gathering, but the extraordinary beings who can become the king of the restricted area are definitely not weaker than the cultivators of Yin Shen, and are even stronger.
The Qingcheng Forbidden Zone has existed for thousands of years, and the old monkey who can become the king of the Forbidden Zone is definitely not weak. Therefore, based on this calculation, the ancestor's cultivation may have been achieved by Yang Shen.
"Don't talk about right and wrong behind your back!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the minds of several people. Zhao Yijian was so startled that he almost jumped up in the car. They had already entered the main road.
"Ancestor, don't blame me!"
Zhao Yijian said with a trembling voice, looking around but found nothing.
"In the realm of Yangshen, ghosts and gods are indeed unpredictable!"
Although Su Xiaofan kept his mouth shut, he was still amazed in his heart. Even though they were several kilometers away, the ancestor could still hear their conversation. Could it be that the Yang God was out of body and looking down at them?
Until they returned to the hotel, Zhao Yijian, Shizhen and Su Xiaofan did not dare to mention their ancestor again, and they all returned to their respective rooms honestly.
As one of the main judges, Zhao Yijian also has to attend tomorrow's exchange meeting, so he has also arranged accommodation in the hotel.
After returning to the room, Su Xiaofan simply washed up and then focused on the weapon refining technique in his mind.
According to what the ancestor said, you need to cultivate this Heavenly Thunder Bamboo in your hand now and imprint your own spiritual consciousness into it.
Go back and wait until you find the Sky Thunder Stone and blend it into it to refine the rough embryo of the Flying Sword.
The crude embryo can already be absorbed into the body. When one reaches the realm of Yin Shen's out-of-body experience, his spiritual consciousness will greatly increase, and he will use the art of divine refining to refine the crude embryo into his own flying sword in one fell swoop.
Only the natal flying sword refined in this way can best fit oneself, so that the heart and the sword can become one.
After looking at the tips for cultivating the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, Su Xiaofan didn't find anything special. It was that he needed to use his spiritual consciousness to observe the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo every day, so that it would have a human-like connection with him.
This was a delicate job of grinding the rock with water. Su Xiaofan shook his head. With such cultivation, he didn't know how long it would take. With a thought, he called up the repair system.
[Tian Lei Bamboo: It can be cultivated, but the repair value needs to be deducted by 300 points. Is it cultivated? 】
"My dear, it costs 300 points to cultivate it. If this becomes a magic weapon, it must be at least a middle-grade magic weapon, right?"
Of course, Su Xiaofan chose to refuse. He now has a total of 1101 repair points, of which 1000 points must be reserved for the cultivation of the three-flower gathering state, which must not be touched.
"It seems that you can also cultivate the Thunder Bamboo in advance."
Su Xiaofan thought for a moment, and his thoughts were a little shaken.
According to what the ancestor said, it is best for him to refine the rough embryo of the flying sword and then break through to the realm of Yin Shen leaving the body.
In this way, there is no need to worry about cultivating the skills of this realm.
Because Su Xiaofan has experience, when he completes the cultivation of the Three Flowers Gathering Realm, he will definitely be able to condense the Yin God, and maybe there will be a chance to attack the Yang God Realm.
But in that case, his natal flying sword would miss the best opportunity to improve, and Su Xiaofan himself would not be reconciled.
"Don't rush to break through."
After figuring out the joints, Su Xiaofan made the decision to cultivate the Thunder Bamboo first, and then make another trip to the Death Forbidden Zone.
Find a way to get the Sky Thunder Stone from the Death Forbidden Zone to refine the Sky Thunder Essence Iron, and refine the rough embryo of the Flying Sword. Then you can cultivate your skills and make a breakthrough.
"No, it's better to go to the top of the Five Mountains again..."
Su Xiaofan thought about the martial arts again. The last time he cultivated the Great Zhoutian Kung Fu in the Ajin Mountains, but failed to advance due to lack of follow-up techniques, the matter came to mind again.
Therefore, it is best for me to prepare the Yang Shen Kung Fu in advance this time. If there is an opportunity for a breakthrough, I will naturally make a breakthrough in one go.
Su Xiaofan found that he would be very busy in the next time. If it weren't for Su Xiaoxiao entering the restricted area, he would have wanted to turn around and go to Devil's Valley.
[Tian Lei Bamboo: It can be cultivated, but the repair value needs to be deducted by 300 points. Is it cultivated? 】
"Nurture!" After eliminating the distracting thoughts in his mind, Su Xiaofan first put the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo into the nourishment pool in his mind.
[Tian Lei Bamboo: nurturing, countdown: 239:59:59...]
"Ten days."
Looking at the information in his mind, Su Xiaofan let out a long sigh. The more repair points he spends, the longer it takes to cultivate. This is true for artifacts and so is the technique.
As for the repair itself, Su Xiaofan has used less of it recently, mainly because repairing the artifacts consumes too much repair value. In comparison, it is more cost-effective to conserve.
Su Xiaofan no longer paid attention to the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo that was being cultivated, and immersed his mind in the weapon refining skills and the sword control skills he had obtained.
Although there is a repair system cheat, Su Xiaofan knows that if you rely on external objects to feel good for a while, well, you can always rely on external things to feel good.
But one's own accumulation is still needed, and this kind of accumulation can also be said to be Su Xiaofan's foundation. Maybe one day the repair system won't work, and one's own accumulation will be able to play a role.
Now Su Xiaofan's biological clock works much better than the alarm clock on his mobile phone. At six o'clock, he wakes up from practice on time.
After teasing the tiger cat and feeding it some python meat, Su Xiaofan turned on the TV and called up cartoons. This was a must-have soothing artifact for Duobao when he went out.
After washing and changing clothes, Su Xiaofan walked out of the room. It was already 6:10.
At this time in the past, some young people who had been doing early morning exercises would have already started making noises and shouting.
But today, the entire hotel became quiet. Except for the waiter, not even a ghost could be seen.
Su Xiaofan naturally knew what was going on. The exchange meeting was scheduled to start at half past six. It would take an hour for a practitioner in the early stage of Qi training to climb to the top of Qingcheng even if he tried his best.
Even for practitioners who are in the late stage of Qi training, it will definitely be too late within half an hour.
So no need, everyone should be rushing to the top of the mountain right now. Maybe some people didn't sleep at all yesterday and went straight to the top of the mountain to wait.
The hotel is just below Qingcheng. After Su Xiaofan walked out of the gate, he flashed and went straight up the mountain.
With Su Xiaofan's current level of cultivation, it would only take him less than ten minutes to reach the top of the peak. However, when he was about to reach the top, he saw a scene that made him laugh or cry.
"Su Xiaoxiao, it's all your fault!"
Zhao Qingyao was wearing a sportswear today and was already out of breath from running, and next to her was her biological sister Su Xiaoxiao.
"Why...it's all my fault."
Su Xiaoxiao was also panting. Who insisted that I accompany him to play games yesterday? If he hadn't played until two o'clock in the night, would I have been unable to get up in the morning?
"I don't blame you. I set the date for five o'clock on my phone, but you stuffed it under the pillow. I didn't get up until half past five. We probably won't be able to get in today."
Zhao Qingyao looked at the top of the peak and couldn't help but slow down a little. She really couldn't run anymore.
After coming out of the hotel, the two of them ran up the mountain. They didn't learn any body skills in the early days of Qi training. They just ran all the way with a breath of Qi.
But in this case, when the pitiful energy in the body is exhausted, the young ladies will not be able to survive. The last ten minutes' journey probably won't take them half an hour.
"These two people..."
Su Xiaofan was far behind. After hearing what happened, he couldn't help laughing.
However, his sister was willing to help her no matter what. She spread out her body, and Su Xiaofan passed by the two of them like a gust of wind.
Both hands gently patted their shoulders. When they turned around to look, Su Xiaofan's figure had already appeared not far from the peak.
"Who, who attacked me?" Su Xiaoxiao jumped up like a hairless hedgehog. When she looked back, she found that there was no one behind her.
"Huh? How come my energy has recovered?"
Su Xiaofan suddenly discovered that the originally dry Dantian suddenly became full of energy, and his body seemed to have endless strength.
"Me too, Xiaoxiao, hurry up, there's still time."
Zhao Qingyao, who was beside her, found that her true energy had actually recovered. The two of them couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly ran towards the top of the mountain.
At 6:28, Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Qingyao passed the entrance and entered the venue after sticking out their tongues.
"Su Xiaofan, when did you come? You didn't even know to call me. I was almost late."
Seeing Su Xiaofan who seemed to have just come in, Su Xiaoxiao pulled Zhao Qingyao and ran over, placing the blame on her brother for almost being late.
"It's better to make you late." Su Xiaofan glared at his sister angrily, and led the two of them to the last row.
All parties attach great importance to the exchange meetings held by relevant departments.
Except for the two sisters Su Xiao, who were almost late, everyone else arrived at the venue early, and the chairs placed were basically full.
At the main seat above the martial arts arena at the venue, seven or eight people were already sitting, presumably the judges this time.
Su Xiaofan took a glance and saw that Master Jing Shizhen, Uncle Liu'an, Senior Brother Zhao Yijian, and Dong Dabin were all sitting at the judges' table. The others were all whom they had met at the trade fair yesterday.
"Junior Brother Xiaofan, do you want to sit down?" As soon as Su Xiaofan sat down, Zhao Yijian's voice rang in his ears.
"Brother, I'd better sit down and study." Su Xiaofan shook his head, he didn't want to be in the limelight.
Warriors naturally act in a straightforward manner. After the staff guarding the peak signaled that everyone had arrived, Lu'an coughed twice and began to speak.
Of these people in the field, although Lu'an is not the most cultivated, he represents the relevant departments, so he is naturally respected.
There was no need for a microphone, Lu'an's voice reached everyone's ears clearly, and what he said was nothing more than some clichés.
The theme is naturally that of each sect, we should draw on their strengths, focus on communication, and build a harmonious society together.
After finishing the routine, the exchange meeting officially started.
According to the procedure, each sect or aristocratic family participating in the exchange meeting will send one person to the stage, first perform a set of interesting boxing techniques or weapons, and then introduce their sect.
As a landlord, the disciples of the Jian Sect were the first to take the stage. However, the Jian Sect had not confiscated disciples for more than 20 years, so the people on the stage looked much older than those below the stage.
There was no show off of their skills or the use of sword energy. The disciples of the Sword Sect who came on stage slowly practiced a set of sword skills without being arrogant or impetuous. After announcing their family status, they left the martial arts arena.
Anyone who understands will naturally understand that this disciple of the Sword Sect is a perfect Qi practitioner and is only one step away from breaking through to the realm of the Three Flowers Gathering.
And that set of swordsmanship is not simple. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the disciple seems to be holding the sword with one hand, but in fact his hand has not touched the sword at all. The swordsmanship is all about using Qi to control the sword, and what is being practiced is the sword.
Zongyu swordsmanship.
It can be said that except for the cultivators at the Three Flowers Gathering Realm, no one in the field is the opponent of the Sword Sect disciple.
“The Sword Sect’s reputation is well-deserved!”
Lu'an commented that with his current level of cultivation, if he were not careful, he would probably capsize in the gutter.
After the Sword Sect disciples went down, the host would announce the name of a sect in order, and naturally there would be disciples from that sect on stage to practice.
There were more than a hundred people in the venue, with about two or three people from each sect. Excluding the dozen or so people from the special recruitment class, there were actually only more than thirty sects and aristocratic families.
In fact, there are far more disciples coming to Qingcheng this time than those on the stage. However, the space is limited and only two disciples from each sect are allowed.
"The successor of Dong Family Quan is here!"
After five or six disciples from sects and aristocratic families came on stage, the host called out a name.
When Su Xiaofan saw that Dong didn't understand what he was doing, he came on stage with a bulging stomach, but once he got into a good posture, his punches were pretty good.
"Wuqinxi!"
Although Su Xiaofan had never practiced boxing, he could tell at a glance that the way he was about to pounce was not the posture of a tiger.
"This should be an internal boxing technique."
Su Xiaofan looked at Dong Bubai's Qi moving channels in his eyes, his mind moved slightly, the true energy in his body was flowing, and he immediately discovered the extraordinary quality of this boxing technique.
Even without the help of any moves, Su Xiaofan could still feel that following this qi-moving technique, it can incite the true energy in the body and temper the body from the inside out. It is an internal body-building boxing technique.
"Dong Jiaquan, Dong doesn't understand, teachers, please give me more advice in the future!"
After finishing a set of punches, Dong Buzhi threw his hands in all directions, acting like a martial arts hero.
"I don't understand!" Someone familiar in the audience shouted back, causing the audience to burst into laughter.
"Tch, my family doesn't understand this kind of jealousy, do you understand?" Dong Dabin, who was on the stage to protect his shortcomings, snorted coldly, and the whole audience was suddenly silent.
"Old Dong, you are still so protective." Liu'an laughed and motioned for the host to continue.
"Disciples of Xiaoyao Sect, please come on stage!"
The host announced a name, which immediately made Su Xiaofan's face darken. When did Master also report the Xiaoyao Sect?
Looking up at the judges' table, Jing Shizhen chuckled, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. He was about to join the Sword Sect. This was the last chance to make the Xiaoyao Sect famous.
"Xiaoyao Sect, are the successors of Xiaoyao Sect here?"
The host waited for a while and found that no one was on stage, so he shouted twice more.
"Hey, I don't know anything, so why go up there?"
Su Xiaofan gave a wry smile and slowly stood up. He had been practicing for only half a year. It was true that he was at a high level, but apart from the palm thunder, there really were no other attack spells.
"Su Xiaofan, come on!"
Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to him, saw his brother coming on stage and immediately started to cheer. Anyway, he was just watching the excitement and was not afraid of causing trouble.
"Please begin your performance."
Seeing Su Xiaofan's leisurely look, the host was a little impatient. He had never heard of Xiaoyao Sect, and he didn't know where it came from.
Of course the host has never heard of it. In the past, Xiaoyao Sect only had Jing Shizhen. He would not perform on stage as he maintained his own identity. Didn't he accept a disciple this year and Jing Shizhen only remembered this?
"All right."
Su Xiaofan stood there and thought for a moment, then suddenly he took the teleprompter card from the host's hand and put it in his pocket.
Su Xiaofan used Xiaoyaoyou's movement technique. With so many people staring at him in the audience, it felt like Su Xiaofan's body swayed for a moment and then stood firm again. Nothing else could be seen.
Even the host, who was in the middle stage of Qi training, didn't notice that there was anything missing in his hand at this time, but was impatiently waiting for Su Xiaofan to start performing.
The only ones who can see Su Xiaofan's physical skills are the few people on the stage. This is exactly in line with the saying that outsiders only watch the show, and outsiders watch the fun.
"Xiaoyao Sect, Su Xiaofan!"
Su Xiaofan cupped his hands in all directions and stepped out of the martial arts arena.
"What is this for? Just stand up and the performance is over?"
"That's right, this is too perfunctory, even if it's just a boxing set."
"Have you not noticed that he has no true energy at all? He is probably a new disciple."
When Su Xiaofan came off the martial arts arena, there was a lot of discussion in the audience. Some were making noises, while others were kinder and spoke up for Su Xiaofan.
As for the big guys on the stage, they didn't say anything.
Are you kidding me? If you let a master of three-flower cultivation practice for you, you can't tell that you are ignorant.
"Next one, uh..."
The host wanted to control the scene and did not want to blame Su Xiaofan, so he was ready to announce that the next sect member would come up.
But just when he was about to read out, he found that the prompt card in his hand was missing.
