A few days went by.
Inside the house, Guo Ye was sweating profusely as he practiced the Gale Knife Technique, while Tao Tao was practicing a routine.
Xu Ning stood at the side and looked at the two.
“Xu Ning, this is enough. I feel that my Gale Knife Technique has improved a lot.”
Guo Ye felt his back aching, and every time he swung, he felt his muscles tearing.
Over the past few days, Guo Ye practiced the Light Miao Technique under Xu Ning’s coercion. And because he swallowed high-quality basic pills, his strength soared.
In just a few days, Guo Ye had reached the mortal realm third stage.
Guo Ye was overjoyed.
Xu Ning noticed that since Guo Ye had improved too quickly, he sometimes couldn’t control his body perfectly, so Xu Ning let Guo Ye practice the Gale Knife Technique, in order for him to regain the feeling of perfect control over his body.
Guo Ye did not like to practice external skills.
Because compared to internal skill cultivation, his improvement was not visible to the naked eye.
Practicing external skills could only rely on one’s own perception, which made Guo Ye feel abnormally tortured.
“Far from it…”
Xu Ning did not give Guo Ye any face. “Your knife technique is not in the elementary realm. You will definitely be defeated in a few moves against other inner enrichment warriors.”
“I didn’t want to fight anyone…”
Guo Ye felt miserable.
“Uncle Ye, practicing martial arts requires perseverance.”
Tao Tao walked over, looked up at Guo Ye, and said in an adult-like tone. “My uncle said that only with perseverance can one become a master.”
Guo Ye felt embarrassed after being scolded by Tao Tao. He grabbed Tao Tao’s pigtail. “Go play in the mud.”
“No, I want to continue practicing martial arts.”
Tao Tao began to practice again.
Xu Ning taught Tao Tao a set of external skills.
Practicing this set of external skill would not harm the body, nor would there be any particularly large increase in strength, but it would accelerate Tao Tao’s absorption of medicinal properties.
Tao Tao was still far too young and her body was too fragile. She had to build a good foundation before she could practice martial arts.
The sun rose higher and higher, and soon it was noon.
“Yunchuan, slow down!”
A voice came from outside the courtyard.
“I’m fine!”
Tao Yunchuan walked in with an axe in his hand and two bundles of firewood on his shoulders.
His thin shirt was soaked in sweat, but he had a smile on his face.
Xu Lian followed him into the courtyard.
“Look at your brother-in-law, he went to chop firewood all morning.”
Xu Lian sounded like she was complaining, but she couldn’t hide the smile in her eyes.
Ever since Tao Yunchuan regained his mobility, he liked to work hard.
Early this morning, he took Xu Lian to the back mountain to chop firewood.
Tao Yunchuan ignored Xu Lian’s complaints. He put down the firewood and threw down the axe. “Guo Ye can eat at home today, I will cook some dishes for you.”
“No, Brother-in-law, I’m going home.”
When Guo Ye saw Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian return, he quickly wanted to retreat.
He just wanted to take a shower and sleep on his bed.
Guo Ye fled in a hurry.
Xu Ning shook his head helplessly. Guo Ye was not good at martial arts.
“Xu Ning, you are now a big shot in Kangyun County.”
After Guo Ye left, Tao Yunchuan said to Xu Ning, “When your sister and I were walking on the road, there were people constantly coming up and talking to us.”
The news of Xu Ning saving Kangyun County and helping the Black Armored Guards to take back Dingyun County and Qiuyun County had spread throughout the Tao Village.
“Look at how great you are…”
Xu Lian smiled and looked at Xu Ning. “I met someone who praised you. Hearing the praise, your brother-in-law’s back immediately straightened, as if he is the one being praised.”
Xu Ning saw the two bickering. He didn’t interrupt. He just felt warm in his heart.
After his return, especially after Tao Yunchuan was treated, the atmosphere at home began to become more lively.
“Okay, go cook.”
Xu Lian gently pushed her husband away.
“I’ll go right now.”
Tao Yunchuan ignored his physical fatigue and went straight into the kitchen.
The family of four ate lunch with four dishes and a soup.
After lunch, Xu Ning didn’t stay at home any longer. He called Little Gray and went to the Yunze Mountains.
Xu Ning had been back in Kangyun County for some time. He had met most of his old friends, including his former subordinate Feng Sigua.
Two days ago, Feng Sigua came to visit with his wife and children.
Xu Ning gave Feng Sigua some pills and some ordinary things, which made Feng Sigua grateful.
This time, Xu Ning went to the Yunze Mountains to see Liu Yijian.
Xu Ning did not have a deep relationship with Liu Yijian, but he had given Xu Ning a Thousand Source Egg.
Although the Thousand Source Bug was basically dispensable to Xu Ning now, Xu Ning still remembered the gift.
If it weren’t for the Thousand Source Bug on his body, Xu Ning might still be working in the Fire Crystal Mine.
Little Gray carried Xu Ning and soon arrived at Luoyue Lake in the depths of the Yunze Mountains.
“Who came to visit me?”
As soon as Grey landed, Liu Yijian walked out of his courtyard.
He held a walking stick in his hand with a cautious look in his eyes.
When he was in the room just now, Liu Yijian felt a terrifying aura approaching.
The owner of the aura was much stronger than him.
“Xu Ning greets Senior Liu!”
Xu Ning jumped off Little Gray’s back and cupped his fists towards Liu Yijian.
“It’s you?”
Liu Yijian obviously didn’t expect Xu Ning to come.
“You are back?”
Liu Yijian knew about the disappearance of Xu Ning and Wei Changqing.
After they disappeared, the Wei family sent someone to ask Liu Yijian.
When Liu Yijian heard this news, he felt quite regretful.
“Yes, Uncle Wei, Binglin, Zicheng, and I came back a few days ago.”
Xu Ning answered truthfully.
“What happened to you all?”
Liu Yijian asked as he invited Xu Ning into his courtyard.
After entering the house, Xu Ning explained his experience with Wei Changqing and the other two.
“Xu Ning, I was right about you.”
Liu Yijian praised Xu Ning.
Liu Yijian saw that Xu Ning was special, so he gave him the Thousand Source Egg.
“Cough…”
Liu Yijian coughed lightly.
Xu Ning frowned. In fact, when he saw Liu Yijian just now, Xu Ning noticed that he seemed to have some old ailments.
Liu Yijian was a martial artist in the fifth stage of the void realm. A martial artist of this level would not suffer from illnesses unless they were seriously injured.
“Senior Liu, you seem to have a chronic illness?”
Xu Ning asked tentatively.
When Liu Yijian heard this, he hesitated for a moment before finally shaking his head: “It’s like this… A few years ago, I encountered a high level void realm demon beast. I escaped with difficulty, but I was injured in the process, causing these problems in my body.”
“The reason why I lived in seclusion in the depths of the Yunze Mountains was to avoid the noise and heal my injuries, but the effect was not good.”
Liu Yijian seemed to have no hope of healing his injuries.
Xu Ning thought about it and said, “Senior Liu, can I check your injuries?”
“Oh?”
Liu Yijian knew that Xu Ning was being kind, so he didn’t refuse. “Take a look.”
Liu Yijian rolled up his sleeves and placed his arm on the table.
Xu Ning put his fingertips on Liu Yijian’s pulse and activated his internal qi to enter Liu Yijian’s body.
‘This true qi…’
The moment Liu Yijian felt Xu Ning’s true qi entering his meridians, his expression changed slightly.
Although he did not use his attribute power, just the strength of his true qi made Liu Yijian understand how powerful Xu Ning was.
‘This should be the true qi strength of a martial artist in the common seal realm!’
Liu Yijian looked at Xu Ning’s young face. He suddenly felt like a new generation had replaced the old.
‘His injuries are indeed serious.’
Xu Ning also noticed that between Liu Yijian’s meridians and flesh, there was a lot of water element power.
The attribute power was stubborn as it was embedded inside Liu Yijian’s body.
As long as the water attribute power was still there, Liu Yijian’s true qi and attribute power would be affected.
Not only would it prevent him from using his full strength, but his life force would also be damaged.
‘No wonder Senior Liu chose to live in seclusion. He can’t continue to travel around.’
Xu Ning began to activate the fire attribute power in his body. Together with his true qi, he drilled into Liu Yijian’s meridians and flesh to cleanse the water attribute power.
“It works!”
Xu Ning discovered that under the repeated washing of his fire attribute power, the water attribute power in Liu Yijian’s body was quickly being consumed.
‘The residual water attribute power in my body is disappearing!’
Liu Yijian also noticed this situation.
He looked a little excited, even his wrists were trembling slightly.
Liu Yijian had completely lost hope in his injuries. He didn’t expect Xu Ning’s test to have such an excellent effect.
‘A Thousand Source Egg granted me such a benefit.’
A year ago, Liu Yijian never expected such a result.
He just wanted to form a good relationship with Xu Ning, hoping that Xu Ning would remember his kindness.
He just didn’t expect that Xu Ning would give him such a big reward in just a year.
After half an hour, Xu Ning stopped.
The water attribute power in Liu Yijian’s body had been completely cleansed by Xu Ning.
However, the damage caused by the attached force was still not healed yet.
“Senior Liu, take this pill.”
Xu Ning took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Liu Yijian: “After taking the pill inside, you need to rest for another 30 days before your injuries can be completely healed.”
The pill Xu Ning took out was a type of restoration pill that aimed to heal attribute damage.
This pill was not refined by Xu Ning. Xu Ning had taken this from Fang Jie’s body. It was now useful.
“Um, I…”
Liu Yijian seemed embarrassed.
“Senior Liu, just accept it.”
Xu Ning said, “The Thousand Source Egg you gave me back then had helped me a lot.”
Liu Yijian’s tone had a hint of shame. “Then I’ll accept it…”
A few days went by.
Inside the house, Guo Ye was sweating profusely as he practiced the Gale Knife Technique, while Tao Tao was practicing a routine.
Xu Ning stood at the side and looked at the two.
“Xu Ning, this is enough. I feel that my Gale Knife Technique has improved a lot.”
