Chapter 99 Blessings and Disasters
"I have actually reached the Grandmaster level just like that!"
The force of Yu Xiao's normal punch is roughly equivalent to the impact of an SUV driving at a hundred yards. Because the force is more concentrated, it can easily break up a thick brick wall.
Don't talk about flesh and blood.
Steel can't bear it either.
If he uses martial arts moves to unleash his ultimate strength, one punch is enough to smash an ordinary person's body into pieces. He has already transcended the category of mortals, so it's not wrong to call him a humanoid monster!
The history of martial arts in the Dajing world is four to five thousand years.
From ancient times to the present, how many brilliant and gifted warriors have spent their entire lives trying but still failed to reach the level of a grandmaster.
however.
Yu Xiao has been practicing till now.
In total, it’s the two worlds added together.
It took only seven years in total.
Not only did he cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refining, but he also reached the realm of refining blood, Qi and flesh. Whether it was for cultivating immortals or practicing martial arts, his speed was unparalleled and could be described as miraculous.
After breaking through to the flesh refining stage.
Yu Xiao still has seven blood marrow pills in his hand.
Although the quality of these blood marrow pills is slightly lower, they are enough to take his blood and energy cultivation to a higher level, while at the same time improving his physical condition and enhancing his potential.
of course.
After all, it's just a breakthrough.
Yu Xiao needs some time to consolidate his realm. Otherwise, if he relies solely on taking blood-qi elixirs to break through his cultivation, it may lead to an unstable foundation and leave hidden dangers.
From the Stone Temple to Xiaozhu Valley.
Because he didn't want to reveal his strength in Dajing, he would practice in Xiaozhu Valley for the next period of time.
Xiaozhu Valley is very quiet.
Although there are eight servants outside the gate.
But these servants all lived outside the valley.
They can only enter the valley during working hours, and are only allowed to be in the spiritual medicine fields and spiritual bamboo forests. They are not allowed to approach Yu Xiao's cabin for no reason, and are not allowed to enter the area where Yu Xiao practices martial arts.
Therefore.
Yu Xiao practiced here.
No one could discover his secret.
Yu Xiao even planned to set up a misty Bagua formation in the training area, so that he could be more foolproof and no one would notice him even if he lived forever.
but.
at this time.
A servant came to summon him.
It is said that a group of sect disciples came from outside the valley.
Yu Xiao thought it was a patrolling disciple from the sect, so he went out of the valley to greet him personally, only to find out that it was not the case.
Eight people.
I know almost all of them.
There are Fu Qingfeng and Ma Qianjun who also came out of Baiyunfang.
In addition, there are Wang Yao, Luo Xiaoshan and others who I met at the Ascension Conference.
As for everyone else.
Even though we have never dealt with each other.
But Yu Xiao felt that he looked familiar.
They are all independent practitioners who started from the same batch.
Yu Xiao's Xiaozhu Valley was deserted all year round, and he seldom socialized with others, so he was inevitably a little surprised by this scene.
"Brother Yu, long time no see. I hope you are well!" Fu Qingfeng stepped forward to greet him.
Yu Xiao bowed in return: "You all came to my little bamboo valley, do you have anything to teach me?"
"I heard that Brother Yu's martial arts fellow cultivator has extraordinary combat power, but he was assigned to guard the spiritual field. It's really a waste of his talent!"
At this time, a young man with a noble temperament stood up and said, "Today, there is a great event. I hope to invite Brother Yu to come in!"
This person has an impression.
Wang Tianyu, third place in the Ascension Conference.
He is the eldest son of a secular prince and has the cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining.
It is said that after the conference.
He became a disciple of a certain elder.
Although he is far from reaching the level of true teachings, he is highly regarded among many new disciples. It is expected that in about five years he will be able to reach the fifth level of Qi training and have a bright future.
Wang Tianyu not only has some background, but also has outstanding talent in cultivation.
He was particularly good at political manipulation, and had considerable means and personal charm, so he attracted a large number of disciples of the same period to his side.
"Please give me some advice, brother."
In the world of cultivating immortals, those with more experience and seniority come first.
Yu Xiao was also at the fourth level of Qi Refining and was originally qualified to be on equal terms with him. However, since he had used the Breath-Concealing Technique to hide his cultivation level and only displayed his third level of Qi Refining strength to the outside world, he naturally had to call him "Senior Brother" to show respect.
"An ancient cave dwelling was discovered in Cangfeng Valley. Many treasures appeared in it, causing quite a stir!"
Wang Tianyu continued:
"Brother Yu, why don't you come in with us and try your luck? If we can get some opportunities and pass the assessment in two years, it won't be difficult to leave this small bamboo valley!"
It turned out to be the case.
Since ancient times, those who practice Taoism have liked to build caves in deep mountains and forests and in places where there are few people.
There are always cultivators who run out of lifespan, go astray due to mistakes in practice, or die accidentally while traveling, and eventually leave behind caves and inheritance.
A few hundred years at the shortest.
It could be thousands of years or even longer.
When the restrictions of the formation become invalid, the originally hidden cave will be exposed and eventually discovered by the world.
Among them, elixirs, skills, and magical instruments are all ownerless.
Whoever gets it depends on their own ability.
From ancient times to the present, countless independent cultivators or disciples of sects with mediocre qualifications have had adventures by exploring ancient ruins, and some have even gained inheritance and soared to fame.
Everyone wants to be the next lucky one.
Even if there is no great adventure, it would be very beneficial to obtain some elixirs, spells, and spirit stones from it.
This kind of thing.
It happens often.
It's not that surprising.
Wang Tianyu wanted to take Yu Xiao with him. This would not only increase his confidence, but also give him the opportunity to observe and win over this junior brother who had good practical skills.
"I appreciate your kindness, brother."
Yu Xiao declined, "But I'm used to my current life and I don't want to get involved in this kind of dispute."
Fu Qingfeng and Luo Xiaoshan were both stunned.
They obviously didn't expect Yu Xiao to refuse.
Wang Tianyu frowned: "Brother Yu is so young, why are you so lacking in spirit? Are you really willing to stay in a place like this for the rest of your life? Life is limited, if you waste your time like this, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it!"
Yu Xiao shook his head: "There are countless practitioners in this world. Some seek power, some seek immortality, some explore the truth, but there are also some who have no desires and only seek a peaceful and comfortable life!"
That’s it for now.
have nothing to say.
"Well, everyone has their own aspirations and cannot be forced. We will not disturb Brother Yu's quiet cultivation."
"Brother, walk slowly."
Everyone left Xiaozhu Valley and came to Yunxi Town.
Fu Qingfeng and the others were a little embarrassed. The reason why Wang Tianyu went to Xiaozhu Valley was because of their recommendation. He wanted to take this opportunity to bring Yu Xiao out, but he didn't expect that the other party would not appreciate it at all.
"Don't blame yourself. There are billions of cultivators in the world, and there will always be some mediocre ones. They are not on the same path as us."
Wang Tianyu's eyes flashed with determination: "Following is mortal, going against is immortal. We cultivators steal the energy of heaven and earth to practice, and seize the power of creation to live forever. We should always maintain a positive and enterprising spirit, and not be content with mediocrity like Yu Xiao!"
"What senior brother said makes sense!"
More than a dozen accompanying disciples expressed their heartfelt agreement.
Luo Xiaoshan's face was full of admiration.
This young prince was born into a noble family.
But he is not greedy for worldly pleasures and has a devout heart towards the Tao.
What is particularly rare is that he has shown leadership qualities at such a young age and has a one-in-a-million talent for cultivation. He will definitely have a place in the sect in the future. It is so lucky to be able to follow such a person!
……
This matter.
For Yu Xiao.
It was just a small incident. He didn't take it too seriously.
This kind of expedition might indeed bring some adventures, but it is also accompanied by various dangers. Yu Xiao has neither time nor resources to live, so why should he take such risks?
but.
Calculate the time.
Arrived at Xiaozhu Valley.
It's been more than two years.
This means nearly two and a half years of getting started.
Yu Xiao had been living in seclusion in Xiaozhu Valley. He was a complete nobody in Qinglan Valley, and he originally had a few friends with whom he had a mediocre relationship.
however.
After this.
I guess he won’t associate with me anymore.
After all, no one likes to be friends with a useless person with no ideals and no future!
It doesn't matter.
fair enough.
Yu Xiao can live here in a more low-key manner, away from the spotlight, and practice in an orderly manner at the most comfortable pace.
Don't care about other people's opinions.
Don't worry about outside disturbances.
Next.
Three months.
Yu Xiao spent his time practicing martial arts.
Most of the time during these three months was spent in the quiet and elegant Xiaozhu Valley, which was like a paradise on earth.
He practices martial arts diligently every day, goes fishing in his free time, and meditates to practice. Every day is very relaxing and leisurely.
This is what life is all about!
Fighting and killing is actually meaningless!
After Yu Xiao had practiced for three months, he felt that his blood and energy were becoming stronger and his physical condition was adjusted to the best.
The time has come!
Yu Xiao took the blood marrow pills one by one to practice.
When all seven blood marrow pills were refined and absorbed by the body.
Yu Xiao could clearly feel that not only had his essence and marrow been cleansed once again, but his blood and energy had also become more condensed and thick!
If.
Before this.
Yu Xiao is only in the initial stage of body refining.
At this moment, it has reached the middle and late stages of flesh refining.
The distinction between masters in the Dajing world is very vague.
That’s because it has been extremely rare for warriors to reach the Grandmaster level since ancient times.
In fact, there are obviously differences in the strength of masters. The world of immortal cultivation divides the marrow refining of warriors into three stages.
There is a long way to go from refining the flesh to truly refining the marrow.
If one can refine the flesh through blood and qi, then he is a master.
The one who can refine the marrow must be a grandmaster.
At this moment, Yu Xiao's blood energy broke through, and the strength of his physical body increased again. It can be said that he was one step closer to becoming a grandmaster.
"almost."
"Let's stop here for this round of training!"
Yu Xiao has used up all the resources in his hands.
Neither the Lingshen Pill nor the Xuesui Pill was available.
In this case, I can only go back to Dajing and stay there for a while to obtain more thousand-year-old ancient medicines and hunt for more blood essence.
Wait until you have enough resources.
Start a new round of cultivation.
I've been feeling a bit bored staying in Xiaozhu Valley lately.
Just when Yu Xiao was packing up to return to Dajing to live, someone else came to visit Xiaozhu Valley. This person was none other than Luo Xiaoshan, who was a cowherd and a casual cultivator.
"Why is Brother Luo here?"
Yu Xiao was a little surprised to see Luo Xiaoshan.
Luo Xiaoshan's face was full of melancholy and decadence at this moment.
It's strange. The last time we met, wasn't he and the talented monk Wang Tianyu, together with a group of people, full of confidence, preparing to search for treasures in the ruins?
Luo Xiaoshan said: "Senior Brother Wang Tianyu is dead."
"what?"
"We accidentally triggered the restriction in Cangfeng Valley, and Senior Brother Wang was unfortunately engulfed by a ball of true fire. Not only did he die tragically on the spot...but his body and soul were destroyed, and not a single bone was left!"
You should get this news.
Yu Xiaozu was stunned for several seconds.
This genius, who had great charisma and heroic spirit, and joined the sect as the third place in the Ascension Conference, actually died so easily and hastily?
Even if he encountered an evil cultivator, he would only be killed miserably.
That's more decent than stepping on a forbidden area and getting trapped and dying suddenly!
However, misfortunes often come with blessings, and blessings often come with misfortunes. If you choose to explore, you must be aware of the necessary circumstances.
But the body dies and the Tao disappears.
No matter how good your talent is.
And also have great talent and strategy.
It also became meaningless.
This incident obviously caused a huge psychological trauma to Luo Xiaoshan.
Only then did he realize that the son of destiny, who looked so high and mighty and radiant, could die so easily and casually.
"The world of immortal cultivation is indeed full of dangers. Perhaps it is right for Brother Yu to stay out of worldly affairs and not participate in disputes. After all, staying alive is more important than anything else!"
"Then this time you come..."
Luo Xiaoshan said, "I have volunteered to be transferred to Black Pheasant Mountain for rotation. It is not too far from Brother Yu's Xiaozhu Valley. I can walk around occasionally when I have free time in the future."
Black Pheasant Mountain?
That is also an industry of the sect.
Although the name sounds good, it is just a large chicken farm that specializes in raising spirit-feather chickens to meet the needs of the sect.
In other words.
Luo Xiaoshan took the initiative to apply to go down the mountain to raise chickens.
Yu Xiao was also speechless when he heard this. This casual cultivator who was born as a cowherd actually had quite good aptitude. Because he started practicing early, he reached the third level of Qi Refining at the age of eighteen.
I am twenty-one years old this year.
He has already completed the third level of Qi Refining.
In theory, it still has great potential.
But this guy has a really bad character. He is always too pessimistic and easily influenced by the outside world, so he often falls into inferiority and self-denial. Now, because of the death of Wang Tianyu, he is so shocked that he chooses to escape and go down the mountain to raise chickens.
Hey!
It’s hard to achieve great things!
Although Yu Xiao had some complaints in his heart, he still understood Luo Xiaoshan's choice. Perhaps he was not meant to be a cultivator, and making such a change might not be a bad thing.
Raising chickens is good.
We may visit each other occasionally in the future.
You can also order a few of the best spiritual chickens to enjoy as a snack.
After saying hello, Luo Xiaoshan went to take up the position of director of Heizhishan Chicken Farm.
Yu Xiao didn't take it to heart.
Returned to the Dajing World as planned.
He has occasionally come back for a few days over the past few months.
At this moment, about half a month had passed since the assassination of Wilson.
"Master!" The maid Xiaomei came to report: "Miss Alice will move in today. We have already cleaned up her room."
Yu Xiao nodded.
Zack wants to send Alice to Yu Mansion.
I hope Alice can work and study with Yu Xiao.
This old fox’s plan.
How could Yu Xiao not understand?
However, he needed to utilize Williams & Co.'s overseas channels, and at the same time he also needed an assistant who could be responsible for overseas business.
And so many diamonds and gems.
They are completely worthless.
So we have to find a way to exchange it for various resources!
