Qingshan County, Canglong Martial Arts School.
Huang Yunlong was practicing breathing exercises in the bedroom when he heard some noise coming from the study next door.
He was startled and then furious. Someone ran into his study to steal something?
Qingshan County is so big that it has a population of more than 100,000 people. Everyone knows that Huang Yunlong is the number one swordsman in Qingshan County!
He actually went to his house to steal things. He really didn't know how to live or die.
Huang Yunlong is 46 years old this year. According to the customs of the Great Yan Dynasty, he is actually considered an old man. However, he is a foundation-building warrior.
As long as he pays attention to health preservation, he will have no problem living to be a hundred years old. He is now in his prime! He has a violent temper, so he didn't think much about it. He immediately drew the Qingguang Sword and stepped out of bed. He walked to the door of the study in a few steps.
Huang Yunlong took a peek through the crack in the door and found that there was a light on inside. The light in his house was made of a bright stone core and covered with a glass cover. It could emit bright light by stimulating it with true Qi.
Huang Yunlong also put away his anger. The person who came in swaggered and turned on the bright lamp. This was not stealing, but clearly a provocation.
Even through the door, he could feel the other person's soft but even breathing, and it was obvious that he was very relaxed and at ease.
Huang Yunlong carefully observed his surroundings and found nothing unusual. He then gently pushed open the half-open door and saw a young man sitting behind a desk, leisurely reading a book.
The boy was quite handsome, with fair skin. He wore a white linen short jacket and barefoot linen shoes. It was obvious that he was not of high rank.
There was a worn-out long sword with a sheath on the desk, which should be the boy's personal sword.
The most eye-catching thing is the boy's eyes, which are black, shiny and bright, making him look particularly energetic.
Huang Yunlong's face was red with confusion. This young man looked like he was only at the Qi training level, and his family background was not high. How could he have the courage to come to his house? The young man was Gao Xian. When he saw the host come in, he stood up politely to greet him. He smiled and bowed, saying, "The idle man Gao Xian greets Master Huang."
"What do you want to do by sneaking into my house in the middle of the night?" Huang Yunlong asked coldly.
"Master Huang, please don't be angry. It is indeed rude to come uninvited."
Gao Xian said softly, "Actually, I just came to ask Master Huang for advice on swordsmanship. Please teach me."
"Can you teach me swordsmanship?"
Huang Yunlong sneered: "The sword is a deadly weapon. If you draw the sword, it means life or death."
"No problem."
Gao Xian said calmly, "If Master Huang kills me, it's because I'm not good enough in martial arts. However, if I win by chance, I don't need anything else. I just want Master Huang to take out the Canglong Sword Manual. Oh, Master Huang's sword is not bad either. I want to borrow it to use."
"Okay. As long as you can beat me, I'll give you my head!" Huang Yunlong's face was gloomy. This kid was too arrogant. He had made up his mind to chop off this kid's head.
If he hadn't arranged the study so carefully and he couldn't bear to destroy it, he would have drawn his sword long ago!
"please."
Gao Xian found Huang Yunlong's angry look a little funny. After all, he was a foundation-building cultivator, but he was so impatient. No wonder he could only open a martial arts school in a small county.
This is how life is. You may be the one looking for trouble, or trouble may be looking for you. You must have the mentality and ability to deal with various situations at any time.
If you don't have this awareness, there's no need to get involved in the world.
The backyard where Huang Yunlong lived was quite spacious, especially the courtyard, which was paved with blue bricks and was very clean. There were many smooth marks on the blue bricks, and it was obvious that this was where Huang Yunlong practiced swordplay every day.
"Please." Gao Xian clasped his fists and bowed.
Huang Yunlong snorted coldly and swung his sword forward. The two sides were only two feet apart. He stepped forward and stabbed the sword in front of Gao Xian.
This swordsman's skill level was average, but he was very experienced in combat, and his sword thrusts were fast and fierce.
Gao Xian's body is still at the Qi training level. His Qi level, speed and strength are one level lower than Huang Yunlong's.
However, the one controlling this body is a sixth-rank Yang God. Even if his spiritual consciousness cannot be projected externally, he can circulate true Qi within the body, mobilize muscles and bones, and so on, making him a million times more efficient than Huang Yunlong.
A dark golden dragon shadow flashed in Gao Xian's left pupil. He had already activated the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Imperial Magic Seal. This secret technique did not need to be performed externally. Just by passive observation, one could see various changes in spiritual energy, which was also very suitable for the special circumstances of this world.
It would be easy to kill Huang Yunlong, but he did not come here to kill people, but to learn the swordsmanship of this world.
The Nine Wind and Thunder Swords inherited from the young man's family were too crude and not worthy of being displayed on the stage.
Huang Yunlong thought that his sword was as fast as lightning, but in Gao Xian's eyes it was almost frozen.
Through the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Imperial Magic Seal, Gao Xian could not only see the subtle movements of Huang Yunlong's sword, he could also clearly see the other party's working muscles, the complete power chain composed of bones and muscles, and the distribution and operation of his true qi center, etc.
Gao Xian's powerful Yang Shen's analytical and computing capabilities are equivalent to a supercomputer, and he can make a detailed analysis immediately after entering complete data.
For him, the circulation of such a low-level true Qi is no longer a secret.
What he wanted to see was not Huang Yunlong's swordsmanship, but how the cultivators of this world controlled the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and used this method to infer the laws of the spiritual energy of this world.
Looking at one leaf, you can tell that autumn is coming.
When one reaches the realm of Gaoxian, it actually only takes a short time to understand the spiritual laws of this world. If one can learn the methods from the cultivators of this world, this process can be shortened as much as possible.
The Zhenqi method used by Huang Yunlong was also quite crude. Gao Xian could see many problems with it at a glance, including the deformation of the subtle movements of his muscles and bones.
In an instant, Gao Xian had completed observation, analysis, and learning, and directly advanced to the foundation-building stage. Looking at Huang Yunlong again, he discovered many problems with this man.
Huang Yunlong naturally didn't know all this. He thrust his sword forward and saw a figure swaying. Gao Xian passed by him as lightly as a swimming fish.
He realized something was wrong and slashed with his sword. He would never miss at this distance, nor would he give Gao Xian any chance to dodge.
A person's movements could never be faster than a sword. If it really came to that, it would prove that the two sides' cultivation was completely on different levels.
Gao Xian really couldn't avoid it, so he drew his sword and casually tapped the shining blade.
His movements were slower than Huang Yunlong's, but his sword was extremely accurate, hitting the opponent's sword spine. This piercing force broke the opponent's horizontal slash, and even though Huang Yunlong's strength was ten times greater than his, he could not withstand this slight touch.
The sword, shining with cold light, deviated several inches. Gao Xian passed by the sword tip. He swung the sword in his hand and left a shallow blood mark on Huang Yunlong's neck.
This person who has established his foundation is controlling the sword with all his strength, and the true energy in his body is surging like a tide.
A thin bloodstain the size of a hair on the neck spurted out a large amount of blood mist.
Huang Yunlong touched the scar on his neck, his purple face full of horror. He knew very well that if the opponent had used a little more force in this sword, most of his neck would have been cut off, and if he had used a little more force, his head would have been gone...
Gao Xian had already sheathed his sword: "Thank you."
Huang Yunlong turned around and looked at Gao Xian silently, his expression changing. He actually lost to a Qigong practitioner, which was hard for him to accept.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
On the other hand, after the shock, he had some murderous intentions. If he didn't kill this guy with his sword today, how could he survive in Qingshan County? However, he was a little unsure of Gao Xian's true strength, and hesitated and didn't dare to take action.
Just as Huang Yunlong was hesitating, he saw layers of true Qi spiritual light bursting out from the body of the young man opposite him. The true Qi spiritual light flashed and gathered into a point between the young man's eyebrows.
There were crackling sounds all around the young man, and the light in his eyes suddenly became brighter. He opened his mouth and exhaled a long breath of black air.
The black gas floated in the air, carrying with it a strong, fishy and rotten smell.
Huang Yunlong was really stunned this time. The young man completed the foundation building in the blink of an eye. From then on, the true qi penetrated his limbs, bones, internal organs, and forced out the foul qi accumulated by the young man, completing a tempering of his body.
This is foundation building! He prepared for the foundation building for several years, taking various elixirs and spiritual objects, and it took him more than a hundred days to complete the foundation building.
The hundred-day foundation-building process is also a process that every foundation-building practitioner must go through. In this process, the slightest mistake may lead to all previous efforts being wasted and the foundation-building process failing.
The young man completed the foundation building in front of him, and the whole process took only a few breaths! It was easier than drinking water...
Huang Yunlong's golden rule of cultivation collapsed at this moment. This was a huge shock to him.
Gao Xian waited for a while and found that Huang Yunlong seemed to be stupid. He had to remind him: "Master Huang?"
“Ah, ah!”
Huang Yunlong suddenly woke up, and when he looked at Gao Xian again, his eyes were full of doubt and uneasiness, as if Gao Xian was an evil ghost! Gao Xian stretched out his hand and gestured: "Give me the sword manual and the sword."
He smiled again and said, "Master Huang, please keep the head. I don't want it."
"Give it to you, all to you." Huang Yunlong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then happily handed the Qingguang Sword and the "Canglong Sword Manual" to Gao Xian.
Although he had a bad temper, he had been in the martial arts world for more than 20 years. He had figured it out by now, no matter where Gao Xian came from, he could not afford to offend such a person.
It was a stroke of luck that he didn't die this time. If he continued to fight against Gao Xian, he would be courting death.
Gao Xian took his things and prepared to leave. He thought for a moment and took another ten taels of silver from Huang Yunlong.
Spirit stones in this world are very rare, and even cultivators have to trade them with gold and silver. The inability to project spiritual consciousness makes the cultivators in this world only good at fighting, and not very good at anything else.
This also determines that cultivators need a large number of ordinary people. Because the spiritual energy circulates too quickly and the lifespan of cultivators is not long, the foul energy accumulated by ordinary people has little impact.
Due to these conditions, the major sects in this world have evolved into countries, and it is natural for the strong to ascend the throne and become emperors.
Compared to the human world, this world is actually more primitive and backward. Fortunately, the land is fertile and can support a large population...
Qingshan County is just a small county, and Huang Yunlong lost to Gao Xian in his own backyard, so no one else knew about it.
Huang Yunlong naturally would not spread the news everywhere. He hid at home for more than ten days and found that there were no rumors outside that he had been defeated, so he felt relieved.
Just as he expected, such a peerless genius could not possibly live in Qingshan County permanently.
A few days later, Huang Yunlong was drinking tea in a teahouse when he heard a rumor brought by a businessman from another place.
A young man broke into the Tiangang Sword Hall in Dayun City and challenged Yuan Benshan, a Jindan sword cultivator. He defeated Yuan Benshan with one move, but Yuan Benshan couldn't stand the loss and sealed the door with a group of disciples to kill the young man.
In front of dozens of sword cultivators, the young man condensed the golden elixir on the spot, then killed Yuan Benshan and more than ten disciples before leaving.
In a few days, this rumor had spread far and wide, causing a sensation in the entire Jiangbei area...
Huang Yunlong was also greatly shocked when he heard this rumor. He knew that Gao Xian was different. How could he condense the golden elixir in just over ten days? Was he the reincarnation of a god from heaven? !
He secretly felt lucky that he did not fall out with Gao Xian and thus saved his life!
But Gao Xian's reckless behavior will definitely attract the attention of powerful people from all sides, and will also attract the attention of the Great Yan Dynasty?
Even if he is a genius, how can he compete with countless powerful people?
I think it won’t be long before we hear the news of this genius’ death…
