Under normal circumstances, for a cultivator to start from scratch, from low to high, each time he improves his level of cultivation, he often needs to spend several times more effort than before, and even requires a certain amount of opportunity and sufficient resources.
Just like Mu Shaobai, he has been bathed in various elixirs since he was a child, swallowed elixirs, and used various secret methods to strengthen his body.
After that, he continued to receive teachings and guidance from famous teachers and practiced the best martial arts techniques.
In this way, it took more than twenty years to become an innate martial artist.
As for Li Yu.
If the old sheepherder remembered correctly, the last time he met Li Yu, Li Yu was only an innate martial artist, and his cultivation was a bit weaker than Mu Shaobai.
But now, more than two years have passed.
Mu Shaobai stood still, motionless in his cultivation. On the other hand, Li Yu's martial arts had reached the Great Perfection of the Martial Arts Master, and his swordsmanship was only a hair away from the master's level.
In addition to martial arts, he also practiced immortality.
Even the Immortal Way was cultivated by him to the stage of Great Perfection, and his swordsmanship was extraordinary and refined into the legendary five-color divine light!
Mu Shaobai can be regarded as a rare genius in the world, but it depends on who he is compared with. Compared with Li Yu, he is not even worthy of carrying shoes!
It must be a martial saint or soul seed!
The old sheepherder is quite knowledgeable, but he has never seen a peerless evildoer like Li Yu!
"Senior, that's a big reward."
Li Yu smiled and didn't care about the compliment.
He also took advantage of Golden Finger and achieved his current achievements step by step. This is nothing worthy of praise.
If it were anyone else, he would never do worse than him, and might even do better. This is a fact, and there is nothing to avoid.
"There's nothing to praise, I'm telling the truth."
The old sheepherder waved his hand.
Li Yu's heart moved and he suddenly asked: "Senior, are you planning to return to your hometown next?"
"Yes," the old sheepherder sighed softly, with a look of sadness on his face: "I haven't been back for a long time. Now that the debt of gratitude has been paid off and I am debt-free, it's time to go back and have a look."
After saying that, he looked at Li Yu again: "What? Is there something wrong with you in this life?"
Li Yu didn't hide anything and said straightforwardly: "I originally planned to invite senior to my Yizhuang as a guest, stay for a while, and ask senior for sword skills."
If it were anyone else, if Li Yu had invited him to Yizhuang, he might have become angry immediately.
But Li Yu already knew the old man quite well.
This old man is straight forward and very simple. He can say whatever he wants directly and won't talk in a roundabout way.
Of course, this does not mean that the old sheepherder is stupid.
Li Yu suspected that when he reached the old man's level, he already had the special ability of "divine enlightenment". He could not hide other people's murderous intentions, hostility, or attempts to deceive him.
That's why Li Yu speaks out directly without hiding anything.
"Your swordsmanship was not simple at first. When I saw it, I felt that you were extraordinary."
The old sheepherder smiled and said: "As for now."
He glanced at Li Yu, who immediately felt that the sword intent in his body seemed to be stimulated and made a clanking sound.
"Now, it's even worse. I guess it won't be long before I'm almost the same as the old man."
Li Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Senior thinks highly of me too much."
Li Yu himself was quite talented in swordsmanship, but no matter how proud he was, he didn't think he could catch up with the old man quickly.
This old man's sword skills are extremely high, and he is one of the people with the highest level of martial arts cultivation so far. His sword skills are completely natural, and he can be suppressed by his sword skills alone.
If he hadn't been extremely skilled in swordsmanship, used a top-grade flying sword, and used the five-color divine light to destroy the opponent's weapons, he might not have been qualified to fight.
Even Yin Changsheng of Bibo Villa seems to be inferior compared to him.
"I understand what you think."
The old sheepherder laughed and said: "Actually, my swordsmanship is straight forward, and there is not much that is worthy of praise. I figured it out myself when I was killing sheep and wolves."
"My sword skills are straight forward and very simple. It can't even be called sword skills, but it is not easy to learn. There are only two words that need to be paid attention to, that is sincerity. If you experience it with your heart, you will achieve something. If you
If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Li Yu's eyes lit up and he quickly handed over his hand: "Senior, please give me some advice!"
"I can't say that I don't teach you."
The old sheepherder waved his hand, then took out a roll of sheepskin from his arms and said, "These are some of my experiences. If you are interested, you can take a look when you have time."
Li Yu quickly approached and stretched out his hands to take the sheepskin.
This roll of sheepskin is ordinary, it has not even been salted, has a fishy odor, has a strong smell of mutton, is dark, and is thrown on the roadside. Maybe no one will take a second look.
After spreading it out, on the back, pictures and lines of small words were painted with charcoal.
The picture is of a wizened little man holding a knife and waving it simply.
Each picture is quite simple and monotonous. The villain does not even have a specific image, hands or feet, and only has a line to replace the body and limbs. Compared with the stick figure, it is not much better.
The rows of small characters are also quite ugly and not pretty.
But when Li Yu looked at it with his spiritual sense, he could see that these pictures and words exuded a touch of natural charm.
Those simple suddennesses seemed to have given birth to spirituality, as if they had turned into living little people, humming and waving the long knife in their hands vigorously.
Although it seems simple, it contains a unique Taoist charm and the essence of swordsmanship, and Li Yu can understand many things from it.
Li Yu closed the sheepskin and put it away carefully.
This roll of sheepskin, in his opinion, is absolutely priceless. Maybe after he has mastered the sword skills above, his sword skills will be able to reach a higher level and break through to the realm of a Daowu Dao master.
However, what is interesting is that although the old sheepherder's paintings and calligraphy are ugly, his skills have reached the level of Taoism.
Whether it is the paintings or the words he writes, they all contain the power of his soul and are contaminated with the essence of his sword intention.
Allow others to immerse themselves in it and understand his various expressions.
"Thank you, senior."
Then, Li Yu earnestly handed over his hand and thanked him.
This old man is really generous.
His secret book was a treasure of extremely high value no matter where it was placed. However, the old man gave it to him without any request. Li Yu asked himself that he couldn't do such a thing anyway.
"You're welcome. Just leave it here to occupy a place. It'll be useful to you."
The old sheepherder waved his hand nonchalantly.
Li Yu pondered for a moment and said: "This is a great gift. In addition to letting Mu Shaobai go, if senior has any conditions, just put them forward. As long as I can do it, I will satisfy senior."
