Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 235 The Power of "The Secret of Immortality"

"Xuanbing Jin"!
It is the famous internal skill of the Yuwen clan.

It carries with it the cold internal energy. After it is mastered, the residual force alone can release frost and freeze everything. The method of releasing energy and borrowing strength is completely ineffective against the icy force.

In the entire Yuwen clan, Yuwen Huaji is the only one who has mastered the "Xuanbing Jin" except for his uncle Yuwen Shang.

I thought that I had the "Xuanbing Jin" and it would be easy to deal with Shilong and another innate master.

Who knew that the opponent's martial arts was beyond his expectations and actually restrained him.

This profound innate true energy doesn't look like the martial arts that can be practiced by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old.

Even if he had been practicing since his mother's womb, he shouldn't be this powerful!
What’s more, it is the innate true qi!
"Who are you? Does Ning Daoqi really have nothing to do with you?"

Yu Wenzhi then asked again.

He once again suspected that Chu Yuan had an extraordinary background and might be related to Ning Daoqi, one of the three great masters in the world. He was a genius who was secretly cultivated by Taoism and never brought out to the world.

Chu Yuan said calmly: "I have already said it before, my Taoist name is Qingyang, and I am the head of Qingcheng Sect."

Chu Yuan performed the "Eternal Life Secret" for the first time.

The power of "The Secret of Immortality" did not disappoint him.

The first five human body pictures in "The Secret of Immortality" represent the five attributes of the Five Elements. Apart from anything else, the attribute restraint alone can restrain most of the martial arts in the world.

Just like the world-famous "Xuanbing Jin" of the Yuwen clan, its power was reduced by several times once it was restrained by his own innate true qi of "Changsheng Jue" with fire attribute.

In this case, it would be difficult for Yu Wenzhi to be his opponent.

"You are still young, no matter how talented you are, I don't believe I can't defeat you."

Chu Yuan was very young, but he claimed to be the head of the sect, and he had never heard of the Qingcheng Sect in the world. Yu Wenzhi thought that Chu Yuan was playing a trick on him, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.

He once again secretly circulated the Xuanbing Jin true Qi in his body and condensed it on his right fist, forming a violent and icy force.

At the same time, Chu Yuan looked outside the manor again, because in Chu Yuan's perception, there were at least twenty people's footsteps around, these people dispersed and gradually surrounded the manor.

These are ordinary masters of the Yuwen clan brought by Yuwen Huaji.

Although there were no innate masters whose martial arts skills were similar to Yu Wenzhi's among the people who came with Yu Wenzhi this time, he still brought more than 20 acquired masters of the Yuwen clan.

"Come!"

Chu Yuan said with a calm look.

Even when he was besieged by Yu Wenzhi and his men, he was not afraid at all.

He also wanted to try out the power of the "Eternal Life Secret" that he had practiced for two years.

Chu Yuan performed his self-created light skill "Xiao Yao You" and took a step forward. His figure disappeared on the spot. When he appeared again, he was already three feet in front of Yu Wenzhi, his figure like a ghost.

"What a fast Qinggong."

Yu Wenzhi was caught off guard. Seeing Chu Yuan suddenly appear in front of him, his eyes were full of astonishment. He did not expect that Chu Yuan's Qinggong was so advanced.

Before Yu Wenzhi could unleash the Xuanbing Jin in his hand, Chu Yuan arrived first and thrust out a palm with his left hand, which contained the scorching fire-type innate true qi of the Changsheng Jue and hit him in the chest.

Chu Yuan's palm was powerful, violent, and carried a scorching heat.

The edges and tips of the green leaves of the plants in the yard began to turn yellow and dry, as if there was an invisible flame in the air, scorching the surroundings with high temperature.

Before Chu Yuan's palm arrived, Yu Wenzhi felt that his whole body, his hair began to become curled and yellow, his lips were cracked, and the water in his body evaporated and lost rapidly, as if his body would be ignited and burned by the high temperature at any time.

Yu Wenzhi looked a little flustered, and in a hurry he could only use his right fist, which had just condensed the "Xuan Bing Jin" true energy, to hit Chu Yuan's left palm in front of him.

boom!
Chu Yuan's left palm and Yu Wenzhi's right fist collided in the air.

After a muffled sound, violent energy swept across the four directions. A cyclone of ice and fire emerged from the fists of the two men and quickly spread to the surrounding yard.

Everything encountered on the way, whether it was doors, windows, plants, tables or chairs, was broken and fell to the ground.

In the yard, there was a clash of forces, hot and cold, ice and fire.

After the cyclone dispersed, frost and charred phenomena appeared on the ground at the same time!
While the two were confronting each other and the outcome had not yet been decided, Yu Wenzhi's "Xuan Bing Jin" cold internal energy wanted to enter Chu Yuan's body through the collision of their fists and palms, causing damage to Chu Yuan.

Unfortunately, it was instantly offset by the fire-type innate true qi from the "Eternal Life Secret" in Chu Yuan's body.

On the contrary, Chu Yuan's "Eternal Life Secret" fire-type innate true qi showed signs of invading Yu Wenzhi's body.

At this moment, more than 20 Yuwen clan masters holding swords and weapons appeared together. Some stood on the roof of the manor, and some stood on the courtyard wall of the manor, surrounding Chu Yuan and Shi Long.

"Take action... and capture them."

Seeing that his ambushing troops had appeared, Yu Wenzhi gave the order with some difficulty.

He found that in this fight, he was no match for the young Taoist priest in front of him. What was more crucial was that the martial arts and true energy practiced by the other party were actually incompatible with his own.

The cold internal energy of his "Xuanbing Jin" and some strange swirling energy were unable to enter the opponent's body and posed no threat to the young Taoist in front of him.

As soon as Yu Wenzhi finished speaking, he was knocked away by Chu Yuan.

His body hit the wall of the manor behind him, smashing the entire wall into pieces and collapsing, and his figure disappeared in the smoke of the collapsed wall.

Chu Yuan took another step forward, his body disappeared from the spot, and appeared several feet away, chasing after him.

At the same time, the twenty or so congenital masters of the Yuwen family, seeing that Yuwen Huaji was losing, wanted to support him. However, Shi Long, who had just been sitting in the shade of the trees in the yard watching the show, suddenly stood up and rushed towards the twenty or so congenital masters:
"Master Qingyang, don't worry about dealing with Yu Wenzhi. Leave these people to me!"

These twenty-odd acquired masters of the Yuwen family are all second- or third-rate in the martial arts world.

If more than twenty people join forces, even innate masters can defeat them.

Seeing that the stone dragon was trying to block them, they first sent a group of people to meet the stone dragon, intending to entangle the stone dragon first, and the rest of the people went to support Yu Wenzhi.

However, what they did not expect was that Shi Long's body-protecting Qi was incredibly strong, and the weapons in their hands could not hurt Shi Long at all.

The swords and knives chopped on the stone dragon, and dazzling sparks flew.

The stone dragon is like... invulnerable to swords and guns.

With no risk of getting hurt himself, Shi Long unhesitatingly used his signature skill, "Pushing the Mountain", to deal with these ordinary masters of the Yuwen family.

"Haha, it's fun."

Shi Long casually knocked a post-natal master of the Yuwen family and his weapon flying five or six feet away. After the man fell to the ground, not only did his weapon break into several pieces, but he struggled for a few times and died with a collapsed sternum.

This is Shi Long’s martial art “Pushing Mountain Hands”.

The palm technique he created is first-rate in both internal and external strength, and is famous in the martial arts world for its powerful strength and combination of hardness and softness.

"Mountain Pusher"!
As the name suggests, it is so strong that it can even move mountains.

Although the name is exaggerated, larger boulders can still be moved.

When this kind of force hits the human body, it will feel like this.

The acquired master of the Yuwen family who was just killed by him was a second-rate master in the world. When he was a first-rate master before, even if he was fighting alone, it would probably take him several moves to defeat a second-rate master, not to mention when he was surrounded by others.

Just now, when he was besieged, he killed the opponent in one move.

This time is different from the past. These second- and third-rate masters are just like chickens and dogs to him.

"Wait, the martial arts you just displayed was the 'Eternal Life Art'. Have you mastered the 'Eternal Life Art'?"

At this moment, a man flew out from the ruins of the collapsed wall next to him. He looked at Chu Yuandao who was following closely with a serious expression.

Compared to his fancy clothes when he came, Yu Wenzhi now looked dusty and a little embarrassed.

"You have some knowledge."

Chu Yuan stopped and did not deny it. He admitted it directly.

After only two or three moves in the fight with Yu Wenzhi, Yu Wenzhi was already at a disadvantage.

As soon as Chu Yuan finished speaking, he suddenly slapped Yu Wenzhi again.

Yu Wenzhi responded hastily and was defeated by Chu Yuan.

His lightness skill was totally inferior to Chu Yuan's original lightness skill "Xiao Yao You". Chu Yuan used "Xiao Yao You" in the fight with Yu Wenzhi. In addition, Chu Yuan had already practiced "Chang Sheng Jue" to some extent. Chu Yuan's fight with Yu Wenzhi was like an adult playing with a child.

After more than ten moves, as Chu Yuan swung out a palm, Yu Wenzhi's body suddenly became like a shrimp, and his abdomen suddenly retracted backwards in a way that was extremely inconsistent with the laws of the human body, forming a bow shape, trying to avoid Chu Yuan's palm.

Chu Yuan's palm hit his clothes right on his chest!

puff!
After a strange sound of an airbag rupturing, his clothes burst into several holes, and some of the energy was removed from the torn clothes.

"My body's protective Qi has been broken. I am no match for this young Taoist priest. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid I will die here today."

Yu Wenzhi said to himself.

He had already thought about retreating.

What's more, he was just a young Taoist priest, and he was no match for him. There was also a stone dragon next to him.

He just took advantage of the break between his fight with the young Taoist priest to take a look at the situation on Shilong's side. Shilong's martial arts skills were also very high. The twenty or so acquired masters of the Yuwen family that he brought with him were no match for Shilong at all. They couldn't even break Shilong's protective Qi.

Once Shi Long has dealt with these ordinary masters, he will have to face the situation of two innate masters joining forces.

One person alone is not a match, let alone two people working together!
These thoughts flashed through Yu Wenzhi's mind in a flash.

Although he had reduced some of the force, some of it still hit Yu Wenzhi. With the help of Chu Yuan's palm power, Yu Wenzhi fell in the direction where the wall of the manor had just collapsed, and he flew out of the manor.

After flying more than ten feet, it landed in a farmland outside the manor. Then Yu Wenji immediately stood up, turned around and fled, not daring to look back.

Chu Yuan saw clearly that when Yu Wenzhi was running away, he kept spitting blood from his mouth, and he was obviously seriously injured by him. Chu Yuan wanted to chase him, but when he saw Shi Long fighting with the acquired masters of the Yu Wen family in the manor, Chu Yuan hesitated for a moment and chose to give up.

Just a Yu Wenzhi!

It would be a relief to kill him.

However, he also directly offended the Yuwen clan and Yang Guang.

Although Yang Guang was about to become the king of a fallen country, he was at least the emperor of the Sui Dynasty now. If he killed his steward, he would be disrespecting Yang Guang as the emperor.

Yang Guang will definitely issue an order targeting me.

Although he was not afraid, the newly established Qingcheng Sect might not be unafraid.

Although letting Yu Wenzhi go would let Yang Guang know that the "Secret of Immortality" was in his hands.

But Yang Guang might not dare to deal with him in a high-profile manner. After all, this is the "Secret of Immortality", one of the four great books that is said to be able to make people immortal.

Once this news leaks out, all the masters in the world will compete with Yang Guang.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Chu Yuan walked towards the stone dragon.

During the time when he and Yu Wenzhi were fighting, although Shi Long had eliminated more than a dozen people, there were still a few people left who were besieging Shi Long together.

Chu Yuan bent his fingers and performed the "Six Meridians Divine Sword"!
Zhongchong sword!
Shangyang Sword!
Shao Shang Sword!
Shaoze Sword!
……

As Chu Yuan snapped his fingers, the innate true energy circulated through six of the twelve meridians. Strong sword energy as thick as an adult's arm shot out towards the remaining Yuwen family masters, shooting holes in their bodies that gushed blood.

The remaining few second-rate masters of the Yuwen family fell like wheat.

Before he could react, he was already dead at Chu Yuan's hands.

"Master Qingyang, what kind of martial arts is this?"

Shi Long was shocked again when he saw this scene.

He felt that Chu Yuan could always display various martial arts skills unexpectedly.

Even without the "Secret of Immortality", he would probably be able to become a famous master in the world.

"Six Meridians Divine Sword can transform the inner Qi into sword Qi. It is a martial art I got from a good friend."

Chu Yuan explained.

“This feat is extraordinary.”

Shilong praised.

In his opinion, this is also an extremely powerful martial art.

"By the way, Taoist Qingyang, what about Yu Wenzhi?"

Shi Long then asked.

He was just busy dealing with the Yuwen family's acquired masters around him and didn't pay attention to Chu Yuan's situation.

Chu Yuan said: "He escaped with injuries."

Shi Long asked: "Will Yu Wenzhi and that tyrant emperor make a comeback?"

Chu Yuan said: "Of course it will."

Yang Guang would not give up the "Secret of Immortality".

However, the Yuwen clan had long had the intention of rebellion, and Yu Wenhuaji had suffered a loss at his hands this time. If Yang Guang forced Yu Wenhuaji too much, Yu Wenhuaji might even rebel directly.

Chu Yuan looked around at the manor where he had lived for more than two years: "After what happened, it's no longer appropriate to continue living here."

Shi Long also said: "Yes, no one knows whether Yu Wenzhi will spread the news that the "Eternal Life Secret" is in the hands of Taoist Qingyang. Once it is spread, countless troubles will come. Let's go back to Yangzhou City's "Shilong Martial Arts Field" and live there for a while."

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "Okay."

Chu Yuan planned to go to "Yangzhou City" first and then return to Qingcheng Mountain.

This time he has been out for more than two years, and he doesn't know what the situation of Qingcheng Mountain is like now.

In addition, he still needs to speed up his own martial arts training.

He must practice the first five human body diagrams of "The Secret of Immortality" to achieve a balance of the five elements as soon as possible, and practice the two yin and yang human body diagrams at the end to completely practice "The Secret of Immortality".

In this world, Xiantian strength can only be regarded as a slightly stronger master.

Only the Grand Master and the Grand Master are the ones who can truly influence the world situation.

……

Several advisers under Yu Wenzhi's command supported Yu Wenzhi, who was pale, bloody on his chest, and stained with some mud from the farmland, as they fled on the road.

Zhang Shihe, Yu Wenzhi's confidant, asked as he fled, "General Manager, what happened?"

When he saw Yu Wenzhi's miserable appearance, he knew that this expedition would not be successful.

Yu Wenzhi felt the incomparably hot innate true qi in his body, which was lurking near his heart and burning his meridians. It was constantly devouring his "Xuanbing Jin" internal energy and spreading to the meridians around his body. He just felt that his whole body was burning and in great pain.

It’s like there is an invisible fire inside my body, burning me.

Evaporate the water in your body and burn yourself from the inside out.

Yu Wenzhi suppressed the pain in his body and the restlessness in his heart, and reluctantly explained: "The Secret of Immortality has been given by Shilong to the young Taoist priest beside him. That young Taoist priest has mastered the Secret of Immortality and his martial arts are much more powerful than Shilong's. I am no match for him. I was defeated in the fight with him and was seriously injured by him."

Zhang Shihe asked again, "What about the twenty-three Yuwen family masters who went with the chief steward?"

Yu Wenzhi said in a deep voice: "They should all be dead by now."

One counselor felt that the whole body of Yu Wenzhi, whom he was supporting, was as hot as a ball of fire. The counselor said in horror: "General Manager, your body is so hot!"

Yu Wenzhi said: "I was hit by that person's 'Eternal Life Secret' Qi. The 'Eternal Life Secret' Qi is strange and just restrains me. Now it is spreading in my body. Hurry and take me back to the Wuya warship. I need ice water to cool down, otherwise I will be burned to death by this Qi."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shihe did not dare to say much. He and several other advisers took Yu Wenzhi back to the Wuya warship parked on the canal outside Yangzhou City.

……

"The scale of this 'Stone Dragon Martial Arts Arena' is much larger than the last time I came here!"

Chu Yuan and Shi Long returned to the "Shilong Martial Arts Field". He looked at the "Shilong Martial Arts Field" which occupied almost half of the street.

He hasn't been to the "Shilong Martial Arts Field" for a long time!

The last time I came here, I asked Shilong’s disciples about Shilong’s address.

Today's "Shilong Martial Arts Field" has expanded more than three or four times in size, not only because of the open space outside, but also because of the area where disciples usually practice martial arts.

Not only that, there were also five to six hundred disciples practicing martial arts in an orderly line at the "Stone Dragon Martial Arts Field", which was much more than before.

"Of course. I also want to thank Taoist Qingyang. If you hadn't taught me martial arts, I would have become a congenital master and gained fame. The expansion of the Shilong Martial Arts Field in the past two years would not have been so fast."

Shi Long said with some pride after hearing this.

Now, Shi Long is considered a big figure in the Jianghuai area, not to mention the whole Jiangnan area.

In the past, he was just the best master in Yangzhou City.

"only……"

However, Shi Long's tone suddenly changed, as if he had something to hide.

"Just what?"

Chu Yuan asked curiously.

"Meet Taoist Qingyang..."

"Meet Taoist Qingyang..."

At this moment, seeing Chu Yuan and Shi Long appear, several of Shi Long's disciples came over together, bowed to Chu Yuan with respectful expressions. Among them were Li Yu and Cui Ziyang, whom he had met before.

Although Chu Yuan was young, even younger than them, they still showed respect to him as a junior.

"No need to be polite."

Chu Yuan smiled and asked several people to get up.

Shi Long did not hide from his disciples the fact that Chu Yuan helped him open up his meridians and taught him the "Nine Heavens Gangqi".

Otherwise, if Shi Long usually displayed the "Nine Heavens Gang Qi" but did not pass it on to his disciples, it would make them feel alienated.

Therefore, these disciples also know how powerful Chu Yuan is.

Greeted by Shi Long's disciples, Shi Long invited Chu Yuan into the mansion next to the "Shi Long Martial Arts Field".

After Shi Long had people serve tea to Chu Yuan in the reception hall and let all the disciples leave, Shi Long said, "It's just that now this "Shi Long Martial Arts Field" seems to be large in scale and has influence all over Jiangnan, but I am the only real master. Most of my disciples are second- or third-rate acquired masters. There is not even a first-rate acquired master. In fact, they are just strong on the outside but weak on the inside."

Chu Yuan heard the hidden meaning in Shi Long's words, and asked, "What does Master Shi mean?"

Shi Long said, "My master has practiced the Nine Heavens Qi and has now become a congenital master. His reputation in the martial arts world is growing. My disciples have no other skills to practice except the Mountain Pusher that I created. They have come to me several times and wanted me to teach them the Nine Heavens Qi. Unfortunately, this skill was taught to me by Taoist Qingyang, so I cannot pass it on to them. I explained the reason to them. Although they understood, they also had other ideas and asked me to help ask Taoist Qingyang for his opinion."

Chu Yuan asked curiously: "What's the idea?"

Shi Long looked at Chu Yuan and said, "Master Qingyang, is it possible for me and the entire "Shi Long Martial Arts Field" to join the Qingcheng Sect?"
