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

Chapter 272 It still has to be Junior Uncle, who scared away the Black Wind Duo with a single word.
Ma Yu was actually a little apprehensive.

There's no starlight to be seen outside, and it's not even night yet.

How come this place is already sparkling with stars?

The grass and vines on the ground appear to be of extraordinary quality.

This thing looks extraordinary; could it be an object from the immortals?
Didn't Master say that there is no way to cultivate the Tao in this world?
Wang Chongyang was a genius of unparalleled talent. Without a master, he was able to master a form of innate skill through self-study alone.

His disciples didn't have the skill and couldn't learn it.

Wang Chongyang, through self-study, surpassed the other four masters and became the foremost of the Five Greats.

What talent!

Sometimes I feel that this world doesn't allow people to enter the Taoist path.

Otherwise, Wang Chongyang would never have died young.

Upon entering, one sees a young man sitting cross-legged.

He just sat there, and in Ma Yu's eyes, he was the center of the entire world.

It seemed as if countless starlight were gathered on his body.

"Greetings, senior." Ma Yu dared not be rude.

Although the Quanzhen Sect is now the largest sect in the world with numerous disciples.

They also have the title of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

However, their strength is only first-rate, and when they work together, they can contend with the Five Greats for a short period of time.

Uncle Zhou is also a first-rate grandmaster.

Of course, that junior uncle's servants are all grandmasters, and there are several of them.

But those...

This person looks like a young man.

Who knows if it's an old monster that has regained its youth?

If you are disrespectful, the other party may blame you.

The Quanzhen Sect is troublesome.

As the leader of the Quanzhen School, he naturally had to consider the interests of the school.

Moreover, this is a sect passed down from our master.

Even if he cannot carry forward or surpass it.

At the very least, we must be able to defend the city.

“Senior? Junior Nephew Ma Yu, although I am Senior Brother Zhou accepting you as my disciple on behalf of our master, you should still call me Uncle-Master.”

Master uncle?

Ma Yu was taken aback.

It's been many years. The only time I've met him before was through his servant.

In recent years, my uncle would occasionally send me something.

But he had never met this junior uncle before.

We only communicate by letter occasionally.

So, this junior master was living in seclusion here?
Thinking of Guo Jing below, and Qiu Chuji finally couldn't hold back and said the words that his junior uncle had used to scold him.

Ma Yu finally understood that this was his junior uncle helping Qiu Chuji clean up the mess.

So many years.

The junior uncle, a figure of extraordinary talent, traveled far to the desert to silently help protect Guo Jing's family for many years because of Qiu Chuji's minor mistake.

It's all Qiu Chuji's fault.

Although they were all members of the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen and were like brothers, Ma Yu still harbored some resentment towards them.

But is he really Junior Uncle?

Ma Yu couldn't confirm it for a moment, but just then, Sha Gu brought up a plate with fine wine and fruit on it.

An old servant brought over a prayer mat.

Ma Yu recognized him at a glance; he was the old servant who had helped them rescue Yang Kang and his mother.

"Greetings, Junior Uncle."

A master-level servant—if he's not Junior Uncle, then who is?
Think about it, even Wang Chongyang, the most powerful figure in their Quanzhen Sect, was only a Grandmaster.

Now it's Zhou Botong, also a grandmaster.

This old servant is a grandmaster, and it's said there are more than one.

If this isn't Junior Uncle, then who is?
Ok?
The most powerful person in the Quanzhen Sect right now should be this junior uncle.

That image was surrounded by starlight.

This person has definitely entered the path of enlightenment.

Ma Yu sat down cross-legged and watched as the old servant moved another table for him. The silly girl placed a wine pot and a wine cup in front of him.

There were also some fruits that were clearly not ordinary.

Although they are all ordinary fruits, each one looks beautiful and smells delicious.

"Don't be shy, these are just some fruits we eat at home. Please try them."

Eat whatever you want?
Ma Yu felt like she had forgotten what "casual" meant.

Who can afford to eat this?

Even the royal family probably wouldn't be able to do it, right?
Well, that thing doesn't exist in this world, and it's unaffordable anyway.

I grabbed an apple and took a bite.

That taste.

Ma Yu felt that she had wasted her life.

What I'm about to say is really hard to say.

In particular, the fruit melts in your mouth, and a warm current travels through your body.

He was surprised to find that his internal energy had increased slightly.

This is no small matter.

You have to understand that he is already at a top-tier level, and further progress is not something that can be achieved overnight.

But even just this one bite of fruit has already brought a slight improvement.

If you eat just one fruit, wouldn't that be equivalent to seven days of meditation and quiet cultivation?

There was a whole plate of fruit on the table.

If you eat it all, is that progress?

Qin Hao looked at Ma Yu with amusement, as if she were a country bumpkin visiting the city, like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

He found it amusing.

There is nothing we can do about this.

In this world, Ma Yu is already considered an upper-class figure.

But where had he ever seen such a thing before?

This thing isn't considered anything particularly good in either the Swallowed Star World or the Qianyang Realm.

But in a low-level martial arts world, this is the best thing.

Moreover, there were some starberries on the plate, which were the fruits of stargrass and starvine. They were slightly inferior to the spirit fruits, but not by much.

After all, this was something Qin Hao had only cultivated in recent years.

After a while, Ma Yu ate three or four fruits and realized that she was full and knew that she could not eat any more.

He stopped what he was doing, looked up, and saw his junior uncle smiling at him.

Ma Yu blushed without realizing it.

How old are you? How can you still enjoy this kind of food?
Of course, if the other Seven Immortals of Quanzhen came, they would definitely like it too.

This fruit?
"Junior Uncle, is this fruit a celestial treasure?" Ma Yu asked curiously.

This junior uncle must be a banished immortal.

Otherwise, how could such a good thing exist?
Qin Hao was immediately amused: "How can these things be called celestial products? They are just some spiritual fruits, and the lowest grade of spiritual fruits at that."

Ok?
Did he eat the lowest grade of spiritual fruit?
Then wouldn't that be the case for Junior Uncle?
"Forget about high-grade spiritual fruits. I do have some, but if you were to take a bite, you'd probably burst from the sheer amount of spiritual energy inside."

Ok?
Ma Yu thought that his junior uncle didn't have any high-grade spiritual fruits.

Is it because you can't eat it?
I am a top-notch expert.

Well, there's no need for the ethereal junior uncle to deceive him.

Indeed, what kind of power does it take for immortals to move mountains and overturn seas?

How could he, a mere first-rate martial artist, compare?
Qin Hao said, "I have been teaching Guo Jing here for seven years and have made these attempts. I have gained some results, but why did you suddenly come here?"

After thinking for a moment, Ma Yu answered honestly, "Seven years ago, my junior uncle sent me a letter."

After several discussions, we discovered that it was indeed Qiu's fault that caused the Guo and Yang families to suffer such a great calamity.

Fortunately, our Quanzhen Sect intervened and rescued Yang Kang and his mother.

But Guo Jing and his mother suffered in the desert.

In addition, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan and Junior Brother Qiu made a bet that eighteen years later, their disciples would compete at the Misty Rain Pavilion in Jiangnan.

I pondered...

At this point, Ma Yu couldn't help but smile wryly.

He originally thought that Guo Jing had no famous teacher to guide him, and that the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were only second-rate and inferior in terms of external martial arts.

Guo Jing will probably be far inferior to Yang Kang by then.

It should be noted that Yang Kang was rescued last year and began learning martial arts at the Quanzhen Sect.

With guidance from many seniors, including the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, they received much instruction.

This was all to make up for the mistake that Junior Brother Qiu made back then.

However, Guo Jing has no famous teacher, so he will lose too badly.

But now it seems that Guo Jing certainly had a renowned teacher.

This junior master is here; he is Guo Jing's renowned teacher. This one person alone surpasses the entire Quanzhen Sect.

After all, the Quanzhen Sect did not have such a star-studded environment, nor did it have such a powerful immortal figure.

With such a celestial being personally guiding them, how could they, mere mortals, possibly compare?
Qin Hao neither confirmed nor denied it, but still explained, "Over the past few years, I have only helped him lay the foundation; I have not yet formally taught him martial arts."

Ma Yu nodded. What Yang Kang was doing was also laying the foundation.

Children are too young; their meridians and bones haven't fully developed yet.

It's too early to start practicing martial arts and internal energy cultivation.

However, Ma Yu was then taken aback: "Martial arts?"

“Of course,” the silly girl interjected, “What my young master taught me was naturally the method of entering the Dao through martial arts.”

Entering the Tao?

"Really?" Ma Yu was taken aback, then overjoyed, looking at Qin Hao expectantly: "Junior Uncle?"

"Very well, from today onwards, you will stay by my side. When Guo Jing comes up in a while, you will join him and follow this old servant of mine to practice my Seven Star Fist and Seven Star Stance, which will lay a foundation for your martial arts. In the future, when I return to the Quanzhen Sect, I will bestow upon him the methods of martial arts."

Ma Yu didn't see anything wrong with the idea of ​​returning to the Quanzhen Sect.

This is my junior uncle!

However, he wants to study with Guo Jing?
He's already a leader in his own right.

However, this is a rare opportunity.

"Oh? Guo Jing is up here. You can go now."

Qin Hao didn't see Guo Jing every day. Usually, it was the Silver Guard and the Silly Girl who taught him.

Every seven days or half a month, Qin Hao would meet with Guo Jing to provide guidance and comments.

When Ma Yu followed the silly girl out, they saw Guo Jing leap up and reach the top of the mountain.

He was somewhat surprised; he hadn't realized before that Guo Jing's physique was indeed extremely strong.

Without even touching his bones, he knew that Guo Jing's foundation was extremely deep.

Look at the starlight around you, and feel the comfortable energy flowing into your body.

Ma Yu knew that even without cultivation, one's power and influence would grow stronger day by day here.

Guo Jing was also taken aback. He had guessed that this Taoist priest might come here.

only……

"Alright, Guo Jing, next, you will practice the Seven Star Fist once, and then stand in the Seven Star Stance once. This is Ma Yu, who is also your junior brother. You can call him Senior Brother Ma Yu."

This?
Ma Yu was taken aback, but considering that his junior uncle was here protecting Guo Jing, it was normal for him to take Guo Jing as his disciple.

He was Wang Chongyang's disciple, so it's correct for Guo Jing to call him senior brother.

But what about Yang Kang?
Should Qiu Shidi's disciple address Guo Jing as Shishu (Uncle-Master)?

Moreover, this is a martial arts competition?

Never mind, Junior Uncle is a banished immortal, and these are the disciples he taught.

Even Junior Brother Qiu might not be as good as him, let alone Junior Brother Qiu's disciple?
In an instant, Ma Yu understood the matter.

Eighteen years later, Junior Brother Qiu is destined to lose the martial arts competition.

Fortunately, this is an internal matter. Isn't it normal for a junior disciple to be inferior to a senior disciple?

"Senior Brother Ma Yu." Guo Jing had no idea that Ma Yu had originally intended to teach him the Quanzhen Dao Dao Song today. Ma Yu was also glad that he had been vague earlier and hadn't revealed his true intentions.

Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face.

When Guo Jing started practicing his boxing, Ma Yu was horrified.

This is?

When Guo Jing was practicing his boxing, the Big Dipper's light was reflected in his body. During the practice, the starlight of the Big Dipper would continuously fall and merge into his body.

"This is a top-tier fist technique that works from the outside in. Moreover, while practicing, one can strengthen their physique and improve their strength. It's just a matter of time before internal energy is generated from the outside in."

Ok?
Ma Yu soon discovered that Guo Jing had already generated a trace of internal energy within his body.

This is?

Is this what you call a second-rate expert?
Those Seven Freaks of Jiangnan cultivated their inner strength for many years before advancing to the second rank.

Guo Jing is only seven years old.

However, he witnessed this with his own eyes.

Guo Jing's punching power increased significantly in an instant.

This is progress, this is a breakthrough.

"good."

Qin Hao's voice came, and Ma Yu turned around to see Qin Hao walking out of the manor. He nodded to Guo Jing and said, "However, Jing'er, you've only been practicing boxing for a little over two years without slacking off for a single day, and you've already achieved some success."

Ma Yu was horrified.

Yang Kang was extremely intelligent; he could apply what he was taught to other situations.

But after observing Guo Jing for a day, he realized that Guo Jing was dull and his Five Elements were not very high.

This can be seen from Guo Jing's actions.

However, Guo Jing's resilience appears to be extremely strong.

According to Junior Uncle, Guo Jing's boxing and stance training should have been continuous and uninterrupted since the first day he started learning martial arts.

That's extremely difficult.

Yang Kang was indeed clever, but once he learned a little, he became smug and started looking for ways to slack off.

This is something they cannot change.

I originally thought that Guo Jing was only able to win the martial arts competition because he had his junior uncle giving him special lessons.

But now it seems that Guo Jing's character is indeed extremely resilient.

I'm afraid even without him, without Junior Uncle.

Eighteen years later, Yang Kang was no match for Guo Jing either.

“Master.” Guo Jing stood to the side, his face showing joy, but he did not flaunt it.

In this respect, Yang Kang is far inferior.

This may be the weakness of intelligent people.

Guo Jing was indeed happy. He was learning from the seven masters of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan so fast that he couldn't keep up.

His seven masters scolded him every day, believing that he would definitely not be able to win after eighteen years.

Only Qin Hao frequently encouraged him, praising him every time he made progress.

“Good. Later, go pick some star berries. You can bring some back for your mother and the other seven masters.”

Master?

Ma Yu was taken aback and immediately thought of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan.

Judging from Guo Jing's perspective, wouldn't he be a level below the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan?
But thinking about his junior brother Qiu's previous mistakes, he could only swallow his anger.

Besides, he couldn't miss out on his junior uncle's place.

After practicing the Seven Star Stance, Guo Jing went to pick Starlight Berries an hour later.

Ma Yu then noticed that there were red berries on the grass and vines under the starlight.

This must be the Starberry.

He seemed to have seen it in a plate before, but he didn't know what it was, so he didn't dare to try it.

"Junior Uncle, Guo Jing's mother shouldn't have practiced cultivation, right?"

Qin Hao glanced at Ma Yu, knowing what he was thinking, and smiled, "Of course not, but I only recently cultivated this Starlight Berry."

Starberry has extremely mild medicinal properties. After being ingested, it will remain dormant in the body and be slowly absorbed.

Unlike other spiritual fruits, it doesn't cause any harm.

After all, it's difficult for an ordinary person's body to adapt to some more violent forces.

"I see." Ma Yu wondered to herself, wondering what Qin Hao was cultivating this thing for.

However, Qin Hao didn't say anything, and he didn't ask either.

Ma Yu stayed here for the next few days.

The Seven Star Fist and Seven Star Stance are extremely profound; even a top-notch master like him spent a month just learning the basics.

Of course, because he had thoroughly studied the Daoist canon, his understanding was much higher than Guo Jing's.

He understood it more deeply than Guo Jing.

However, because of this, his effectiveness wasn't actually much better than Guo Jing's.

Because he incorporated his own experiences, it was not as effective as Guo Jing's simple imitation.

Three months later, Ma Yu had basically mastered the basics and was quite proficient in the practice.

In a little longer, I will be able to master the boxing techniques and stance training.

Their strength has also subtly increased by one level.

"In another two to three years, I should be able to advance another step. At that time, I will be at the level of my mentor and Uncle-Master Zhou Botong."

innate.

Ma Yu's heart was extremely passionate.

Back then, my mentor said that their aptitude was decent, but without the right opportunity, they probably wouldn't have the chance to be born with innate talent.

Unable to become a grandmaster.

But now, he only needs two or three more years to advance.

This?
Yes, his junior uncle was his destiny.

He can pick three of these starberries every day.

Any more, and I'll have to complete my junior uncle's task first.

This is the system that the Quanzhen School will implement in the future.

Inner disciples receive one free item daily.

True disciples and elders, namely the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, have two.

The sect leader, Ma Yu, can have one more, making it three.

Once you've used up the free time, you have to do tasks, complete sect tasks, and earn sect contribution points, which you then use to exchange for other items.

As for money and such.

That's something that can't be obtained through exchange.

On this day, after Ma Yu finished his mission, he happened to run into the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan who were also completing their mission.

It's funny, but when the seven of them met Ma Yu, they almost had a misunderstanding.

However, after learning that Qin Hao, their junior uncle of Quanzhen Sect, was on the mountaintop, they all went up the mountain to pay their respects as juniors.

Later, Ma Yu learned that these seven people had obtained the Lesser Yin Heart Sutra from their junior uncle and had switched to cultivating internal energy.

Moreover, their strength has greatly increased, and they have all become first-rate figures.

"Seven people, who are these?"

Ma Yu stepped forward, and the two sides met.

Ke Zhen'e stroked the head and said, "That's right, this is the Nine Yin White Bone Claw of the Black Wind Duo."

Ma Yu was taken aback and went forward to check, his face also looking grim.

"It seems the Black Wind Duo has arrived in the desert."

These Black Wind Duo were disciples of Huang Yaoshi of Peach Blossom Island. They obtained a fragment of the Nine Yin Manual from Huang Yaoshi and practiced the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. Ma Yu already knew about this.

Many years ago, Junior Uncle met Zhou Botong at an inn with Huang Yaoshi and Huang Yaoshi's wife.

It was after that incident that Junior Uncle was accepted as a disciple by Uncle Zhou Botong on behalf of their master.

That's why he's here learning his craft now.

They immediately discussed it.

"Although the people of this desert are not from my Central Plains, it is never right to kill them."

Both sides agreed to track down the Black Wind Duo and stop their evil deeds.

However, the whereabouts of the Black Wind Duo remain a mystery and they are extremely secretive.

After several days, they only managed to get a few clues and failed to catch up with the person.

That night, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan finally ambushed the Black Wind Duo at a certain location.

Ma Yu was also there to watch over them.

His current cultivation level has already reached the peak of the first-class level. He only needs a little more effort and a suitable opportunity to advance to the innate level.

However, this opportunity is extremely rare, and the skill of perseverance is the most precious thing, so it will take another two years.

Of course, this is on the premise that he doesn't eat those spiritual fruits.

But at that moment, Guo Jing suddenly ran over.

The Black Wind Duo were surrounded and almost captured.

Their fate at that time was predictable.

At this moment, Guo Jing ran over, giving the Black Wind Duo an opportunity.

Copper Corpse Chen Xuanfeng stepped forward, and Guo Jing subconsciously used the Seven Star Fist to repel him.

However, he still lacks some fighting experience, and coupled with his young age, his skills are not yet sufficient.

After Chen Xuanfeng took several punches from Guo Jing and suffered considerable injuries, he still managed to capture Guo Jing.

"Jing'er".

At this moment, both the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan and Ma Yu were startled and hesitated to act rashly.

Mei Chaofeng was also sent back to join Chen Xuanfeng.

Suddenly, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, each finding themselves in a difficult position.

Ma Yu and the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan were both hesitant to act rashly, fearing that Guo Jing might be harmed.

The Black Wind Duo also knew that all they had to do was kill Guo Jing.

Then, facing eight top-tier experts, they absolutely have no chance of escape.

Even if they had mastered the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, they still wouldn't be able to defeat eight top-tier masters.

What the hell? When did the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan become top-tier masters?

Ke Zhen'e's brother was just a second-rate nobody. Wasn't Ke Zhen'e supposed to be even weaker?

With neither side willing to back down, things are likely to end badly today.

At this moment, a voice came.

"The Black Wind Duo? Chen Xuanfeng, Mei Chaofeng, you stole Sister Feng's Nine Yin Manual? How is Sister Feng?"

The Black Wind Duo were greatly surprised and terrified.

The sound was clearly coming from an extremely distant place.

But the sound that came was extremely peaceful and extremely clear.

They could hear them clearly, as if they were having a face-to-face conversation.

This person's skill is extremely high; even their master, one of the Five Greats, is definitely not as powerful as him.

Although they felt that their master was the best and strongest, they had to admit that this person was definitely stronger than their master.

But how is this possible?

Sister Feng?
Is that your master's wife?

"Put Guo Jing down. Today, I'll have the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan and Ma Yu let you leave. But you are forbidden from practicing the Nine Yin White Bone Claw again. You've turned a perfectly good Taoist martial art into an evil one. However, if I ever find out that Sister Feng is in trouble, even if Huang Yaoshi comes, he won't be able to save your lives. Get out!"

These two men have indeed committed many evils, but most of their evil deeds were committed in this desert.

Qin Hao is from the Central Plains and cannot truly empathize with him.

Even after he unifies the country, these people will still be his subjects.

That is also a matter for the future.

The Black Wind Duo hesitated for a moment, but the last word "roll" made their blood boil and their internal energy surge, leaving them completely powerless.

Guo Jing immediately seized the opportunity, broke away, and even used a dagger to cut the bronze corpse.

Fortunately, Guo Jing did not do anything else after he left.

The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan and Ma Yu did not make a move. The two quickly calmed their blood and internal energy, then turned and left in a hurry.

"Brother, are we just going to let him get away like this?"

"Alright, let them go for now out of respect for your seniority. We'll deal with it another day."
