After a moment.

Liu Jie's residence.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Yuan.

He was immediately overjoyed and said, "Brother Jiang!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Liu, long time no see! You won't blame me for coming to visit you without permission, will you?"

"How could it be!" He shook his head repeatedly, then stood on the side of the gate and gestured with his hand: "Brother Jiang, please come in quickly!"

Jiang Yuan stepped over the threshold and saw the maids coming and going in the yard.

Then he smiled and said, "Senior Brother Liu, you have so many young and beautiful maids in your courtyard. Aren't you afraid of causing dissatisfaction from Senior Sister Liu?"

Liu Jie said awkwardly: "Brother Jiang, please don't talk nonsense. Liu Rushi and I are innocent!"

"Clear and innocent?" Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Liu, don't be embarrassed. It will be much easier to cultivate with a Taoist companion to support each other. I think Senior Sister Liu also likes you very much."

"Really?" Liu Jie's eyes widened instantly, his face full of surprise.

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Of course, trust me, I will not be wrong, don't miss a good woman like Senior Sister Liu."

Liu Jie scratched his head: "But I'm embarrassed!"

"What's there to be embarrassed about? A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman! Isn't this only natural?" Jiang Yuan encouraged.

He suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, when I come back from the next successful cave training, I will..."

"Stop!" Jiang Yuan immediately stopped him and did not let him continue speaking.

As soon as he said this, Jiang Yuan felt that this experience would not go smoothly.

Liu Jie looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion: "Brother Jiang, what's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Jiang Yuan smiled and said nothing.

I thought to myself, it’s a good thing I interrupted his spell!

Then he asked, "Brother Liu, have you set a time with the disciple from Sunset Sect?"

Liu Jie shook his head: "Not yet, the other side doesn't seem to be in a hurry!"

Jiang Yuan said: "That's perfect. If you want to set a date, it will be one month later."

"I plan to open up 215 spiritual veins, leaving only the last bottleneck. If something unexpected happens, I can instantly break into the sixth level of the Tongmai Realm!"

"This..." Liu Jie smacked his lips and said, "There's no need to do such a dangerous thing!"

Jiang Yuan shook his head: "We must be on guard against others. If we find a great opportunity inside, who can guarantee that they will abide by the agreement?"

After hearing this, Liu Jie immediately bowed to Jiang Yuan and said, "Then our safety is in the hands of Brother Jiang! I am only at the fourth level of Tongmai Realm now, and the fifth level is still a long way off!"

"If something unexpected happens, I may not be able to help much!"

The three of them talked as they walked.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "No need to be so polite! Senior Brother Liu has helped me a lot since I joined the sect!"

"As long as the opponent doesn't surpass the Tongmai realm, I have the confidence that I won't be at a disadvantage."

Liu Jie heard this and said, "In that case, I'll rely on Brother Jiang!"

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan had a few drinks in Liu Jie's house.

Then he returned to his own residence.

In the small courtyard, Shu Xiaoxiao had already placed the spirit gathering array in the middle according to the formation.

Now in Jiang Yuan's eyes, the 365 array plates were connected together by strange array patterns and linked to each other.

Although he had never learned the art of formation, looking at those extremely complex patterns made him feel like he was looking up to a mountain.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, then threw out three hundred and sixty-five low-grade spirit stones into the formation.

The array patterns in the secret passage all lit up instantly, and the spiritual energy within dozens of feet around began to riot, gathering towards his small courtyard.

In his eyes, strands of spiritual energy continued to gather towards him.

Billions of strands of spiritual energy connected together and surged in like a tide.

It’s really different! Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

He quickly closed his eyes and began to absorb the spiritual energy in the air into his body.

In an instant, he felt the pain of thousands of needles piercing his body!

Hiss! Jiang Yuan took a breath of cold air.

Compared to the primary spirit gathering array, the strange feeling now is ten times stronger.

But when he felt that his practice efficiency was now ten times faster than before, he instantly felt that it was all worth it.

Only his physical body could withstand such violent spiritual energy entering the body.

After being completely relieved, he put aside all distracting thoughts in his mind and calmed down.

He began to transfer the power of his soul to guide and refine the spiritual energy and open up the meridians in his body.

Time passes slowly.

Every three days, Jiang Yuan would stop practicing and relax for a while.

Because the efficiency of the intermediate spirit gathering array is ten times higher than that of the low-level one, but the burden on the body is also ten times higher.

Taking a break and allowing his body to recover to its peak condition would be more beneficial to his practice.

In a blink of an eye, half a month later.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled lightly.

Now, the meridians in his body have been opened up to 215 according to his original idea.

As for the last one, he had opened up more than 90% of it.

As long as he had the thought in mind, he could officially break through in an instant.

But this is just a reserve measure. If an accident really happens, he will have enough power to protect himself.

Jiang Yuan believed in himself. If he could break through to the sixth level of Tongmai Realm and use all his skills, he would not be afraid of anyone below Linghai Realm.

Even if you are defeated, you can retreat safely.

After completely putting his mind at ease, he stood up and walked out of the yard.

Since we are going to travel, we must make full preparations. Now only half a month has passed, so there is still plenty of time.

Since he could no longer make a breakthrough in his realm, he decided to improve his combat power through means.

He has never comprehended the archery technique of Heavenly Fire.

Just as he arrived at the front yard, his expression was suddenly stunned.

Because the door of his mansion was wide open at this time, the sound of swords outside the courtyard could be heard from time to time.

Suddenly, a phoenix cry was heard.

It's her!

Jiang Yuan was surprised.

At this moment, the sound of huge waves suddenly came from outside the yard.

Jiang Yuan flashed and appeared at the gate.

Then he saw that the sword in Shu Xiaoxiao's hand had fallen on Su Luo's neck.

The ground was in a mess, with countless sword marks and traces left by flames.

A streak of bright red blood slowly flowed down Su Luo's fair neck.

"Go away!" Shu Xiaoxiao shouted, "If you dare to disturb my cultivation again next time, I won't be as easy on the ears as I am today!"

After saying this, she turned her head to look at Jiang Yuan, then sheathed her sword with a sweet smile on her face.

"Sir, you are out!"

At this moment, Su Luo looked dazed.

But today, he was defeated by Jiang Yuan's maid. How is this possible!

Su Luo's face was full of disbelief.

The most important thing is that she is younger than me, and her realm is only the third level of Tongmai Realm, but she defeated me easily.

Am I really worthy of being Wushan Peak’s true disciple?

Am I really as outstanding as my master said? At this moment, she couldn't help but doubt her own talent.

Because this blow was too great for her.

If she loses to Jiang Yuan, she can accept it!

After all, Jiang Yuan's performance that day left everyone speechless.

She came to challenge Jiang Yuan today just because she was obsessed with coming in second place without even fighting that day.

She wanted to have a fair fight with Jiang Yuan, no matter what the situation was, and make her accept defeat with conviction! But she never expected that before she could challenge Jiang Yuan, she would be easily defeated by a little maid beside him.

If you tell this to others, no one will believe it.

Because this is too outrageous! A direct disciple of Taixuan Sect is actually not as good as a little maid of others.

She touched her neck, then saw the blood on her fingertips and fell silent.

The scene just now was not an illusion or a dream.

She was actually defeated by a maid.

At this time, Jiang Yuan rubbed Shu Xiaoxiao's hair.

"You seemed to have hit her a little too hard, and you hit her pretty hard!"

Shu Xiaoxiao immediately said angrily: "I didn't want to pay attention to her, but she has been stubborn!"

"I have no choice but to take action! Let her give up!"

"With her strength, how can she fight against you, young master?"

Su Luo slowly came back to his senses after hearing these words.

Looking at Jiang Yuan with a bitter smile, he said, "I was too naive! I didn't expect that I couldn't even beat your maid! How can I be qualified to challenge you!"

After saying this, she left in a trance, holding her sword.

Dressed in red, he looked like a defeated rooster, full of frustration.

Jiang Yuan smiled helplessly. He didn't expect that Su Luo would come to challenge him at this time.

But it’s a good thing this way. She probably won’t come to see me next time.

It is obvious that she will not give up until she achieves her goal.

I hope this blow will not cause too much psychological trauma to her.

After all, being defeated by a maid would inevitably make many geniuses doubt their lives.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile.

I believe that others will feel the same way as Su Luo does now in the future.

Shu Xiaoxiao is no ordinary person, but the reincarnation of the true spirit of a peerless sword immortal from the upper realm.

Since her name is prefixed with the word "peerless", her previous life must have been extraordinary.

Then he looked at Shu Xiaoxiao's panel again.

【Name】：Shu Xiaoxiao

[Realm]: Third level of Tongmai realm

[Innate Luck]: Reincarnation of a swordsman (gold) Peerless immortal appearance (gold) Auspiciousness comes when in trouble (purple) Deep blessings (blue) Pure heart (blue) Outstanding talent (blue) Outstanding understanding (green) Wood body (green) Jiang Yuan patted her head: "You go back first! I'm going to practice archery!"

"Okay!" Shu Xiaoxiao nodded obediently.

Jiang Yuan's figure flashed and then disappeared from the spot.

On a cliff.

Jiang Yuan stood on the edge of the cliff.

The sharp mountain wind bent the trees and made his clothes rustle.

If an ordinary person stood here, he could be swept away by the mountain wind and fall into the ravine at any time.

But for practitioners, even if they jump off a cliff, they can land safely.

At this time, he still held the secret of Heavenly Fire in his hand.

From what he had just learned, he had already gained a preliminary understanding of this archery technique.

However, if one wants to truly and quickly comprehend this archery technique and grasp its essence, the shortcut is to observe the real descent of heavenly fire.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's lips.

For others, the arrival of heavenly fire may only be seen once in several years or even longer.

How can we talk about enlightenment? But he is different.

By controlling the power of the magnetic field, he can create the power of heavenly fire.

He picked up a stone weighing about twenty pounds from the ground.

He weighed it, and then separated a wisp of divine consciousness and wrapped it around it.

The next moment, he threw it hard above his head. The rising trajectory of the stone was the magnetic field track in his eyes.

Under his manipulation, the stone disappeared in an instant.

It disappeared within the limit of his perception, and at the same time, the divine consciousness that was entangled with it also completely disappeared.

A long time passed.

A cup of tea.

A flash of fire suddenly appeared in the sky above my head.

Even in broad daylight, the fire was clearly visible.

With every passing moment, the flame grew a little bigger.

After dozens of breaths.

The ball of heavenly fire was clearly visible in Jiang Yuan's eyes.

He closed his eyes and relied solely on his spiritual sense to perceive.

At this moment, the hot, violent, majestic and various feelings appeared in my heart.

After a long time.

Boom——

With a loud bang, the earth was torn apart and waves of soil surged.

Under this impact, towering ancient trees fell down one after another.

Crackling!

The wildfire gradually started.

Jiang Yuan picked up a stone and had an idea.

Under the acceleration of the magnetic field, the stone accelerated from static to fast in an instant.

Passing quickly over the mountains and forests.

boom--

Under the impact of this stone, the soil splashed and instantly extinguished the forest fire that had just started.
