The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 271 First Encounter with Ma Yu, Initial Transformation

Time flies like an arrow, and life is like a song.

Only seven or eight days had passed in the Qianyang Realm, but more than six years had already passed in the Legend of the Condor Heroes world.

"Guo Jing".

Li Ping herded the cattle and sheep, while Guo Jing stood guard.

Although he is still young, he has a very strong character.

Although he was starting to lose his balance, he gritted his teeth and held on.

Because this is his master's teaching, he listens to his mother and whatever his master teaches him, he listens to.

"Guo Jing, that's enough. Time's up."

Li Ping said something, and then Guo Jing breathed a sigh of relief and slowly got up.

Then, without resting, they came over to help drive the cattle and sheep.

As evening approached, they had to drive the cattle and sheep back to prepare dinner.

Six years have passed, and Li Ping has also emerged from the grief of her husband's death.

Six years ago, when Li Ping learned the cause of her husband's death, she felt some resentment.

Therefore, when Qiu Chuji's junior uncle from the Quanzhen Sect asked her how she should choose,

Li Ping still chose to come to the desert.

But the junior master didn't say anything else and personally drove the carriage to take the mother and child here.

Afterwards, they provided them with money to buy them homes and livestock, and settled them in properly.

Only then did he leave with the silly girl.

However, that junior uncle simply stayed on a mountain nearby, where he meditated and cultivated his mind in peace.

If anything happens to them, that junior uncle can come immediately.

In truth, Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen School wasn't entirely wrong.

It was all for the sake of the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, it was also because of her husband Guo Xiaotian's own personality that the three of them became friends.

As for Bao Xiruo, Li Ping did not blame her.

That's just her personality; she knew it from the very beginning.

She just saved the wrong person this time, not that she shouldn't have been so kind.

"Never mind, it's already like this. I've raised Jing'er, and that's enough to be worthy of the ancestors of the Guo family."

Sometimes Li Ping would wonder why Yang Zaixing didn't die, but only Guo Xiaotian did.

"Mother, what are you thinking about?" Guo Jing asked curiously after driving the cattle and sheep over and seeing Li Ping lost in thought.

Some things are just too heavy.

As a mother, Li Ping didn't want him to bear these burdens.

"fine."

She forced a smile, led the cattle and sheep to her tent, and said, "Go and play by yourself, I'll go cook."

Guo Jing left in a daze and went off to play by himself.

Li Ping sighed, thinking to herself, "Could it be because I tripped and fell during childbirth, causing Jing'er to become mentally impaired?"

Fortunately, there was that junior master from the whole town; otherwise, I really don't know how the mother and son would manage to live here.

But what about Jing'er's brain?
Li Ping was a little worried and wanted to ask that junior uncle.

At the mountaintop, the silly girl had prepared the meal and brought it over from the kitchen.

This place is no longer the barren wasteland it was when I first arrived.

This place is now filled with all kinds of star grass and star vine.

Every night, countless stars descend from the sky.

Moreover, this place, which was previously a barren and limited mountaintop, has been transformed into a manor covering dozens of acres.

If someone came here, they would never believe that this is a desert.

This is no different from the manors in Jiangnan.

Upon entering the manor, Silly Girl felt as if she had entered a different world.

The feeling inside is much more comfortable than in the desert.

It seemed as if something would enter her body without her having to cultivate it herself.

If an ordinary person lived here, they would probably live a long life.

"Dinner is ready, young master."

……

At this time, Guo Jing also encountered the first crisis in his life.

Zhebie made a promise to him not to reveal his whereabouts.

After Guo Jing agreed, he naturally didn't say anything.

However, unlike in the original story, Guo Jing is only somewhat dull-witted, but he is not incapable of thinking clearly.

Occasionally, a flash of inspiration will occur.

When Genghis Khan questioned him, Guo Jing did not give himself away, just like an innocent child.

This was his true nature.

He subconsciously forgot Jebe's whereabouts, and even forgot that he had met Jebe before.

Genghis Khan pursued him all the way, but in the end he never found Jebe.

At this moment, Zhebie was saying goodbye to Guo Jing.

"If I have a future, I will teach you all my skills with all my heart."

Guo Jing simply shook his head: "No need, you can go in peace, but don't come back in the future."

Zhebie was taken aback, then smiled smugly: "You're right. Getting involved with me would only bring trouble to your family."

Jebie left, but he vowed that he would come back.

I cannot let all my knowledge go to waste.

At this moment, Qin Hao stood on the mountaintop, taking in the entire scene.

"Guo Jing is a bit smarter, isn't he?"

A lot can happen in six years.

Bao Xiruo was secretly taken back by Qiu Chuji and others. With Qin Hao's advice, Ma Yu would not allow Qiu Chuji to leave the hero's son in the prince's mansion of the Jin Kingdom.

They don't provide people with a good living environment, nor do they teach or guide them properly.

When they grew up, they demanded that Yang Kang be sensible and sever all ties with his adoptive father, with whom he had developed feelings.
Qin Hao was absolutely right when he reprimanded Qiu Chuji.

Ultimately, although the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan had eccentric temperaments, they were not lacking in chivalry.

Although Qiu Chuji was known as one of the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen and was also known for his chivalry, his actions were far inferior to those of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan.

"I hope my actions can change his fate."

Qin Hao always felt that Yang Kang's life was like a coffee table, filled with tragedies.

Although Guo Jing seemed better than Yang Kang, he was also locked up in Xiangyang for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, this also contributed to Guo Jing's fame both during his lifetime and after his death.

Qin Hao didn't know how to comment.

But with his arrival, the plot naturally couldn't continue in the direction of the original story.

"But some things can still happen."

"I suppose the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan should be arriving soon."

Qin Hao wondered why the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were taking so long to arrive.

He had already mentioned that Li Ping and her son should be in the direction of the desert.

It's been so long, and they still haven't found it?

These people from the martial arts world are still a bit unreliable when it comes to doing things.

Over the past six years, through his cultivation, these Starlight Grasses and Starlight Vines have become an experiment for him in this world.

"The concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding area has indeed increased significantly, at least to the level it was before the Swallowed Star World connected with the universe."

But the world of Swallowed Star is not just about spiritual energy; it is also filled with cosmic primal forces.

"However, it can only be done in this small area of ​​a few dozen acres. Moreover, the cultivation of Starlight Grass and Starlight Vine is also very troublesome. Initially, I need to use spiritual water to cultivate them, otherwise they are very easy to die."

Since he wants to upgrade the Qianyang Realm, it should at least accommodate immortals so that he doesn't have to ascend.

Moreover, the upgraded world must be firmly in our own hands.

This kind of thing is not so easy to do.

Moreover, it requires a lot of resources and time.

"Coincidentally, the Qianyang Realm isn't without its own opportunities. The invasion of the Demon Realm is also the best catalyst for the Qianyang Realm's upgrade."

Qin Hao had many plans in mind, but he couldn't do this without experience.

He decided to try out a few small worlds.

"Starlight Grass needs further iteration to lower its growth conditions. Otherwise, it will be impossible to raise the energy level of the Legend of the Condor Heroes world."

Starlight Grass and Starlight Vine have undergone more than three generations of iterations. With better cultivation conditions and environment, they can be iterated at an even faster pace.

"I should return to the Quanzhen Sect sooner rather than later. The desert is not a place for me to stay for long. The conditions here are too poor, and there are too few people I can command."

The Quanzhen Sect has a large number of members and abundant resources.

The Zhongnan Mountains cover a large area, providing him with many places to describe.

Qin Hao shook his head, not giving it much thought.

Regardless, Li Ping still needs to change her mind before he can leave with Guo Jing.

Guo Jing is considered the chosen one of this world; only with him can my plan proceed smoothly.

It should be said that only in this way can we achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"However, the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains should also be properly reorganized."

Qin Hao had an idea in his mind.

The feudal dynasty with an emperor can be removed from the list.

Fortunately, Qin Hao had no intention of submitting to Emperor Hengming's family in the Qianyang Realm.

"The strange situation in the Qianyang Realm is related to the Great Xia Dynasty, where Emperor Hengming is located. Or rather, it should be related to the Great Xia Dynasty's founding emperor, Xia."

Since that's the case, then we can simply change the Great Xia Dynasty.

With so many powerful sects of the Pure Yang School, why is it necessary to have a royal family?

"Young master, what are you thinking about?" The silly girl asked curiously, looking down at the foot of the mountain. "What's so good about the New Year? You seem to care a lot about it?"

Qin Hao was speechless. He turned to look at the silly girl and said, "Why are you jealous of him? You are my maid, and he is my apprentice. You are of different status. What is there to be jealous about?"

Qin Hao originally had no intention of taking the silly girl as a maid, and he had no interest in matters of love.

Qin Hao would not respond to the silly girl's thoughts.

In this life, he had only the Dao in his heart.

Otherwise, if you come to The Legend of the Condor Heroes, why don't you go find Huang Rong or Mu Nianci?

Okay, those two seem to be young girls?

Qin Hao is not that kind of person.

"Yes, young master." The silly girl seemed somewhat helpless, but also seemed to know.

In the young master's heart, there was nothing else but martial arts.

Silly Girl wouldn't know that Qin Hao wasn't thinking about martial arts, but about Taoist cultivation.

That night, after Li Ping had fallen asleep, Guo Jing got out of the tent.

He arrived at the foot of the mountain familiarly and began to slowly climb.

At first glance, he doesn't seem to have any light-footed skills, but upon closer inspection, one can see that his steps are extremely light.

Although Qin Hao didn't teach him much, just the stance training alone was enough to improve his overall abilities.

It took Guo Jing almost half an hour to climb to the top of the mountain.

Looking at this starlight scene that could not be seen from the outside, Guo Jing was still extremely shocked, even though it was not the first time he had seen it.

When Sha Gu came out, she saw Guo Jing, who was somewhat handsome but too dull, and she was somewhat displeased.

Of course, the young master's words had an effect today, and she said to Guo Jing, "Come with me."

Guo Jing knew that this silly girl didn't like him very much, but he still wondered if he had done something wrong.
Although he didn't know why the silly girl was called silly when she wasn't silly at all.

Upon entering, Guo Jing could see his master meditating and cultivating in the distance.

It seems that every time I see him, he is the same.

It's been several years now; before, it was always his master who went down the mountain to see him.

Later, when he was five years old, his master had already mastered some of the stance training he had learned. From then on, he began to climb and come here to see his master.

But every time I saw him, my master looked the same as when I first met him; he was still a young man.

"Master," Guo Jing greeted him with utmost politeness.

Qin Hao opened his eyes and nodded.

He didn't know what Guo Jing was thinking; if he had, he would have laughed out loud.

This body wasn't very old to begin with.

It was because of good nutrition and the progress in his cultivation techniques that he grew to look like an adult.

But after that, his appearance rarely changed.

"Hmm, go and try your hand at boxing."

"Yes, Master."

Guo Jing's comprehension wasn't particularly good, and Qin Hao also noticed that he had some inner talent.

But it's not visible on the surface.

Moreover, Guo Jing has a very resolute character.

Li Ping taught him very well.

They are extremely serious and focused in their work.

This is a necessary factor for a person's success.

Just like Huang Rong, she is smart, but not devoted enough.

Therefore, Huang Rong could have inherited Huang Yaoshi's mantle, but in the end, her martial arts achievements were far inferior to Huang Yaoshi's.

This was even after Huang Yaoshi had devoted a lot of energy to witch doctors, divination, astronomy, and geography.

Huang Rong was far inferior.

A person who is too smart lacks focus; they may be versatile in everything, but not proficient in anything.

Of course, Huang Yaoshi wasn't faithful enough either.

If he had focused his talent on martial arts, he might have been even more brilliant than he is now.

Of course, if Huang Yaoshi had been born in a world with a higher energy level, his achievements would likely have been considerable.

If it were the Qianyang Realm, Huang Yaoshi might also be able to ascend to immortality.

Guo Jing's set of boxing techniques lost some variation, but each move was executed with extreme precision, and the imitation was extremely accurate.

He was implying that since I'm not smart enough, I should listen to the smart people.

This is a set of Seven Star Fist created by Qin Hao. It is based on the Seven Stars. If one understands its true meaning, one can draw the power of the Seven Stars into the body.

It can be considered a method for refining the body with stars.

This is a set of boxing techniques that work from the outside in. When practiced to its peak, it can generate internal strength, return to simplicity, and lead one to the Tao through martial arts.

Half an hour later, Guo Jing finished his fist technique, put down his fist, and stood up, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Qin Hao couldn't help but chuckle.

Even the most reserved person craves praise.

Guo Jing was only six years old, so it's understandable that he had such thoughts.

"Not bad, you've performed this set of boxing techniques quite well; you've at least imitated about 30% of it."

what?
Only 30%?
Guo Jing was somewhat disappointed, and his face immediately fell.

Before Qin Hao could speak, the silly girl's face fell: "What? You're a six-year-old kid who's only studied for three months and only imitated 30% of it, and you still don't think it's enough?"

You know, she studied for over a year, but she still didn't learn enough.

She felt that she was much smarter than Guo Jing, so she always had her own ideas when learning boxing.

This is not a problem.

However, they fell short in imitation.

Unfortunately, this Seven Star Fist technique is extremely profound, and she needs to master it thoroughly before she can fully understand and learn it.

Bringing your own understanding is less effective than imitation.

Seeing that this kid was still not satisfied, Silly Girl immediately felt jealous.

At the same time, she also had some thoughts in her mind.

No wonder the young master looked at him with a sidelong glance. He was a little simple-minded, but he was absolutely loyal to the young master. He would do whatever the young master said.

I never slack off.

Even the silly girl felt a little ashamed.

"Alright, you're still young. You don't know much about martial arts. If you can't fully understand it, then just imitate it for now. When you have your own ideas and completely master this set of boxing techniques, that will be enough. Go take a medicinal bath first."

"Yes, Master."

Guo Jing's physique wasn't very good. In the original novel, Guo Jing followed the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan to learn martial arts, but he couldn't learn it, which made the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan so angry that they began to doubt their existence.

Of course, they must have forgotten that Guo Jing was still a child, and it's understandable that he couldn't learn everything he tried to learn in one day.

There's so much content, and each piece is different; some are even contradictory.

How could a child understand these things?

Moreover, Guo Jing was somewhat dull-witted.

It wasn't until Guo Jing obtained the Nine Yin Manual and learned the Yi Jin Du Gu technique that he rose to great heights.

Qin Hao obtained the Nine Yin Manual together with Feng Heng as soon as he arrived in this world.

Feng Heng might forget, but Qin Hao wrote it down so thoroughly that it was impossible for him to forget.

And what's more, there are intelligent life forms too.

Qin Hao had already taught Guo Jing the Seven Star Stance a long time ago. It was he who combined the Tendon-Changing and Bone-Forging Chapter of the Nine Yin Manual with some scriptures from other worlds that improved aptitude to create this set of Seven Star Stances.

It is paired with the Seven Star Fist, which is both dynamic and static.

In addition, this medicinal bath is also indispensable.

Qin Hao has no shortage of medicinal herbs, and a medicinal bath can lay a good foundation and improve Guo Jing's physique.

How could he not use it?
He's going to raise the bar for this world.

The medicinal bath was a bit painful, but after all, it's meant to strengthen muscles and bones, so how could there be no pain at all?

But Guo Jing always gritted his teeth and never cried out in pain.

Even the simple-minded girl, who was adding the medicinal herbs, couldn't help but admire the boy.

Although he is simple-minded, he is obedient and filial.

A year later, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan finally arrived.

Qin Hao, standing atop the mountain, was speechless upon witnessing this scene.

However, his Primordial Spirit Eyes saw that the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan had reached a higher level in martial arts and had changed their foundation, clearly indicating that they had been practicing the Lesser Yin Heart Method that he had given them.

"They do know their place and have good taste."

Qin Hao gave the Lesser Yin Heart Sutra to the seven people, partly to settle the karmic debt between the Quanzhen Sect and them.

On the other hand, it is also an experiment.

It now appears that the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan have all advanced to the second tier.

"This cultivation method seems pretty good. However, there's still room for improvement."

Qin Hao's mind raced, and he began to optimize the mental cultivation technique.

As for the effect?

When he saw the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, he had already seen through all of this.

"It seems that we still need to simplify and optimize the innate skill."

That's right, Qin Hao actually knows the Innate Skill.

As for the source?

Of course, it was obtained from the old rascal.

This innate skill is very advanced; it's already close to the path to enlightenment.

It's hard to imagine that Wang Chongyang could create such a sophisticated method in a world with low martial arts levels.

However, it's not good if the method is too advanced, because people in the low-level martial arts world cannot meet the threshold for cultivating the Innate Skill.

This innate skill requires a foundation that reverses the innate state, which is the foundation of a grandmaster, in order to cultivate it.

Unfortunately, none of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen were able to defy their innate abilities; most were only at the peak of the second tier.

If you haven't even reached the first-rate level, how can you cultivate the Innate Skill?

However, if one forces oneself to cultivate, like Wang Chongyang, one will suffer hidden injuries within their body.

Then, during the Mount Hua Sword Tournament, he forced himself to fight against the other four masters, which injured his body.

"So, if Wang Chongyang doesn't die, who will?"

I'm having some bad luck.

If Wang Chongyang waits until Qin Hao retracts his true self and awakens, he might still have a chance to enter the Dao.

“Young master, I don’t think they know how to be religious,” the silly girl said from the side.

Qin Hao nodded slightly but did not interfere.

This is Guo Jing's matter. Although he is still a child, there are some things that he still needs to choose for himself.

Furthermore, the teachings of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were also a valuable asset to Guo Jing.

At least it tempered his character.

"Young master, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Qin Hao chuckled: "What's the big deal? He's still young, and although he's being taught by the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, he hasn't slacked off on his Seven Star Stance training. As for the rest, we can just treat it as a break."

adjust?

Silly Girl stuck out her tongue.

She thought that if it were her, she would be annoyed to death.

Unlike Guo Jing, who was able to grit his teeth and persevere.

Instead, they don't fight back when hit or talk back when insulted.

That silly boy.

The silly girl was furious. Before, only she could scold this silly boy, but now he was being scolded by others.

Wasn't she furious?
But the young master wouldn't let her interfere.

Those seven old monsters, she could definitely take them all down with a single move.

That's right, Silly Girl's cultivation level has already reached the Five Great Masters level.

Being born with a natural talent isn't difficult; at least for Qin Hao, it was quite simple.

Silly Girl, following Qin Hao, has no shortage of resources and good teachers.

Needless to say, the methods and techniques are also important.

Over the past seven years, Silly Girl successfully defied her innate abilities last year and became a Grandmaster.

But in Qin Hao's eyes, Silly Girl had only just reached the threshold of entering the Dao.

On this day, Guo Jing had just been scolded by his seven masters, and then he saw a middle-aged Taoist priest.

Moreover, after the middle-aged Taoist priest spoke, he actually told him to come to the back mountain to find him that night.

When Guo Jing came to his senses, he asked curiously, "But isn't the back mountain where Master lives in seclusion? Is this Taoist priest trying to take over Master's territory?"

He scratched his head, but it wasn't time yet, so Guo Jing didn't dare to go up the mountain now.

Qin Hao had instructed him to go up the mountain secretly, without letting the other herders know.

Qin Hao didn't want Genghis Khan to know; he just wanted to complete these tasks quietly and then return to Zhongnan Mountain.

As for Genghis Khan, he had no desire to have anything to do with him.

After all, Genghis Khan was also one of his planned adversaries.

Well, Qin Hao's attack is a case of overwhelming force; the opponent probably won't stand a chance.

After Ma Yu finished speaking with Guo Jing, he turned around and went to the back mountain, where he used the Golden Goose Skill to climb all the way to the top of the mountain.

But when he reached the top, he saw a scene full of starlight and a mountain and water manor, and he was plunged into a state of existential doubt.

"This is the desert, not the Jiangnan region?"

Then he saw a maid come out, curtsy to him, and say, "Young master asked me to lead you in. Your name is Ma Yu, right?"

what?
son?

Do you want me, Ma Yu, to go in?

He is the leader of the Quanzhen Sect.

Although he's not pretentious, you can't just call any maid to fetch me, can you?
Well, since it was someone else's territory, and the place was rather mystical, he didn't dare say much.

"Good work."
