Chapter 133 Teaching Spells
Incense.

incense burner!

The sky is full of purple air!

For a moment, Chen Sanshi didn't know how to judge the situation.

Let’s put aside the fact that there is incense in the world for now. The key point is, why does a mere Ciyu Temple possess a treasure that can collect purple air?
What is it used for?

If it is about improving one's cultivation, how come only one level of Hua Jin is perfect?
Even if we assume that the wandering temple master has reached the Tongmai realm, isn’t that still too low?
After analysis, there are only two possibilities.

Or, the incense was only collected recently.

Just like Chen Sanshi, he has a magic treasure in his hand, but because it has not been long, he has not yet reached a certain level in the martial arts realm.

Or, this stove is not theirs at all!

Not everyone knows how to observe qi, or has the means to sense the different auras between heaven and earth. Therefore, even if the incense burner is placed here to absorb the incense, the Taoists in Ciyun Temple may not be aware of it at all.

As to which of the two possibilities it is, it is unknown.

Chen Sanshi looked at it carefully.

I saw that the surface of the bronze incense burner was engraved with an unknown ferocious beast, with its bloody mouth wide open, constantly devouring the incense that should have belonged to the statue. It was greedy and weird, and did not seem like something from this mortal world.

"This thing has a high probability of being able to withstand the strange fire!"

He was very excited.

But after all, it is not your own thing.

If Ciyu Temple knew about the incense, it would definitely not be sold.

If you don't know who is collecting the incense behind the scenes, it's better not to try it lightly if you are not sure that you will not be discovered.

And the most important point is, Ciyu Temple did not provoke him, so why should he take other people's things.

All kinds of thoughts were mixed together, but in the end they were all suppressed.

Let's just make do with the Xuanbing furnace for now, maybe it will work.

"Brother Shi, you come and worship too~"

Gu Xinlan waved her hand: "It's good for the child."

"Yes, Master Chen."

Shao Yujing stood up after paying his respects: "The path to immortality is long and elusive. We must be sincere in order to have a chance in the future."

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi did not refuse.

If he didn't bow at this time, it would seem strange.

Through the art of observing qi, one is in an active state. If someone with ulterior motives notices something unusual, one will be in a passive state.

He was not pretentious and offered incense to pay homage.

only……

Not a single wisp of purple air came out of him.

He has never believed in gods or Buddhas.

That's nothing.

There were many people at the scene who were not sincere. Some of them knocked their heads against the ground until a loud bang was heard, but there was no sign of purple energy.

After worshiping the statue, Chen Sanshi and his wife went down the mountain. They did not forget to take the Xuanbing furnace and told the young Taoist priest to go back to Chen's house to get the silver bills.

He would not carry such a large amount of money as five thousand taels of silver notes with him casually.

Shao Yujing said, "Master Chen, if you are interested at the end of the month, you can come and listen to Master Qiu Mingzi's sermon. It may be helpful to you in the future."

"Since Master Shao has invited me, I will come."

Chen Sanshi did not refuse.

He was very interested in the matter of incense, so now he had an excuse to come more often, and maybe he would get some new things.

On the way home, Chihiro came to pick her up.

Chen Sanshi hugged Lan Jie'er in his arms.

Chihiro seemed to know that the hostess was pregnant, and even her walking became extra steady.

When passing through a busy street, the three big words "Hongxiulou" are particularly eye-catching.

The six-story building, except for the last floor, was filled with dazzling women winking at him.

"Hey, it's only been a few days and Shi Ge'er already wants to go to this kind of place?"

Gu Xinlan noticed his gaze.

"No, I have something serious to do."

Chen Sanshi looked away.

Xunxian Tower.

It is highly likely that someone is hiding in Hongxiu Tower, rather than the entire brothel being Xunxian Tower.

I don't know what happened to the woman from the other night.

But if the commander can't handle it, there's no point in him worrying.

The apprenticeship ceremony will be held in a few days. After meeting the supervisor, I should be able to figure out everything.

Before that, I should continue to practice. I have to slowly find a place to practice to see if the Xuanbing furnace can withstand the strange fire. It would be strange if such a big noise goes unnoticed at home.

For four days in a row.

Apart from accompanying his wife, Chen Sanshi basically spends all his time practicing martial arts.

[Kung Fu: Unified Spear Technique (Minor Success)]

【Progress: 1055/2000】

The proficiency progress is finally halfway through.

According to the current speed, I should be able to complete the internal organ refining within two months.

Apart from this, people have continued to die in the sect over the past few days.

Just not that many died.

“It’s getting weirder and weirder.”

Before he mastered the art of observing qi, Chen Sanshi was like a blind man, unable to peek into higher-level secrets.

Until now, he felt more and more that everything might seem scattered but also connected.

Something earth-shaking might happen in Liangzhou and even the whole world.

"Master, Master Sun is here."

Siqin came over to report.

"I see."

With the help of Mo Hua, Chen Sanshi changed into a green robe newly sewn by Lan Jie'er, took the longbow and reed-leaf spear as usual, and put the Zhenyue sword on his waist, then went out and got on the carriage.

"The apprenticeship ceremony is about to begin."

Sun Buqi explained: "Today's process is that all the true disciples, inner sect disciples, and outer sect disciples will watch this year's new disciples perform the ceremony, and will be assigned to the reserve camp. Then, they will be assigned positions based on their realm and selection results."

"Reserve camp?"

Chen Sanshi asked.

"Correct."

Sun Buqi nodded and said, "There are not enough vacancies in the eight battalions. My father wants to expand the army, so let's just form a reserve battalion with the disciples and the Liangzhou soldiers. After the army is expanded, we can select people from this group of disciples to join the four newly opened battalions."

Four new camps were opened.

This means that the military strength of the Military Governor's Office will be expanded to twelve battalions, and there will be more than 150,000 troops.

Of course, military expansion is a long process.

It would take at least a year and a half to raise military supplies, train soldiers, and organize them into a comprehensive organization, even if they were drawn from existing garrison troops.

Arrived at the military city.

Starting from the entrance, soldiers in armor and armed with sharp weapons lined up in neat rows, with spears, lances, axes and halberds in their hands forming a path leading to the ceremony.

There were a lot of people participating in the apprenticeship ceremony, but it was not actually extravagant. There was basically no expensive decoration. There was only a high platform made of wood, and the disciples lined up according to their performance.

Due to the large number of people, there were no complicated etiquette. Hundreds of people drank a bowl of wine at the same time, and the ceremony of becoming a disciple was considered completed.

then.

It is to assign duties.

The duties of the battalion system are also very different from those of the garrison system and are relatively much more complicated.

Simple summary.

The reserve camp had a total of 12,000 people. The highest commander was the general and deputy general of the camp, and the remaining 12,000 people were divided into four parts: front, back, left, and right. Each part had a lieutenant general, for a total of four lieutenant generals.

Next down is the Qianzong, who is in charge of a thousand people.

A captain is in charge of 500 people.

A general in charge of a hundred people.

Team A, in charge of ten people.

If we change to the regular eight camps, one needs to be at the Hua Jin level to be a thousand commander, those at the Tongmai level are lieutenant generals, those at the Xuan Xiang realm are main generals, and the deputy generals may be at the Xuan Xiang or Tongmai realm.

The reserve camp is generally of a lower level because it consists of people temporarily drawn up and is originally intended to provide opportunities for selected generals to practice.

The position of Qianzong that Chen Sanshi obtained just happened to correspond to his rank of fifth-rank Wude General.

The inner disciples are basically all captains.

Cao Fan, Lu Shuhua, Yan Changqing, Bai Tingzhi, Xie Sishu and so on.

Wen Qiushi died and his position was replaced by someone else.

Tang Yingke's injuries would not heal in a short time, and he was not able to come back for the time being.

The source of Chen Sanshi's troops is rather complicated.

Four hundred people were brought from Poyang, and the other six hundred were from the garrisons of Youzhou, Liangzhou, and Yanzhou. It was a hodgepodge. Fortunately, they didn't need to start training from scratch, as there was a complete system in place. They just needed to get familiar with it slowly, and a considerable number of people might be replaced in the future.

"Give me armor!"

Fang Qingyun came down personally and distributed armor to everyone one by one.

Every captain received a set of chain mail, the material of which was much better than the armor of the garrison. It basically covered the whole body. Combined with the warrior's own defense, it could effectively deal with sneak attacks from warriors of lower levels.

Of course, we can't rely entirely on armor.

Human power is infinite, and the higher the realm, the greater the destructive power. Ordinary armor cannot block it at all, unless it is heavy armor made of black iron. Some of them can even resist some strength and energy, but the cost is too high, and basically only lieutenant generals and above can be equipped with it.

There are also a few camps that have a small number of black-armored heavy infantry and heavy-armored cavalry, but they are the elite among the elite, with extremely high cost, and they will not be used unless it is a critical moment.

After bestowing the armor, it is time to practice the skills.

Outer disciples can go to the library and choose any book they want, and receive guidance from the chief commander of the Mystical Realm during their training, provided they are free.

For the inner disciples, Sun Xiangzong personally selects the exercises that are suitable for their physical constitutions according to the characteristics of each of them. If they have any confusion about their subsequent practice, they can write a letter and submit it to the Governor's Office, and he will reply to them one by one.

If you are at the critical moment of a breakthrough, he will call you to his house and give you guidance.

As for the personal transmission...

It will not be taught here. Wait until after the apprenticeship ceremony is over, and then go to the Governor's Mansion for a one-on-one talk.

The corresponding treatment at each level is very different.

It's not that they treat them differently intentionally, but they are too busy to teach hundreds of people personally, and it would be impossible to handle it, not to mention that there are a large number of military and political affairs that need to be handled.

Fang Qingyun said calmly: "In addition, every inner disciple can go to the armory to choose a mysterious weapon. The outer disciples can also exchange for a mysterious weapon when they break through the realm or make military achievements."

"General Fang!"

A sturdy inner sect disciple spoke in a deep voice, his tone full of reluctance: "Do you have anything else you haven't announced yet? Please don't be partial to Senior Brother Chen."

"I was just about to say, don't worry."

Fang Qingyun nodded and said, "Finally, all disciples, whether they are from the inner sect or the outer sect, as long as they obtain Grade A root bones in the bone-touching stage, they will have the opportunity to be promoted to true disciples within three years.

"The conditions for promotion are also very simple. As long as you can surpass the true disciples by two small realms and surpass them in military merit, you can challenge him again after half a year and compete with him, and you cannot refuse.

“After you succeed, you will be able to take his place and become a true disciple.

“His resources will also be transferred to you.

"So the failure of selecting the best is only temporary. Brothers, don't be discouraged and encourage each other. This is an army, not a sect. In the end, everything still depends on strength."

There have always been rules, and they are a way to motivate everyone.

The words fell.

Cao Fan, Lu Shuhua and others almost all cast firm glances at Chen Sanshi, as if they had become determined challengers.

For most people.

It doesn't matter what method you use to break through to the level of Martial Saint. The resources given by the court are unlimited, and they will be supplied until you are unable to break through in three years!
Even for the second generation with a wealthy family like Lu Shuhua, if they want to train a martial saint, they need to drain all their family assets, and sometimes that is not enough, and they need to rely on luck.

In previous years, there wouldn’t be so many people who would be interested in this.

Because the champion generally wins the competition in a crushing manner.

But this year is different.

Chen Sanshi has only achieved a small success in refining his internal organs!
Many of them have perfected their internal organ training and will be able to transform their energy soon. They have great hope of taking over the position of true successor.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, the crowd dispersed.

Starting from tomorrow, they will report to the military camp every day for training or to carry out missions.

"Prince, you...are you about to lose your strength?"

Yin Hanwen said with genuine concern: "Prince, you told me that the complete "Golden Crow Heavenly Dragon Sword Technique" will improve your realm faster, but it will hurt your body. Prince is still young, and in the future..."

“God rewards hard work!”

Cao Fan interrupted, "I can't even defeat him even though I'm suppressing him by a small realm. If I'm caught up by him, wouldn't I be even more embarrassed? How can I succeed if I don't work hard?"

Previously, he still relied on the fighting in the ring and the advantages within a certain range to suppress others. Otherwise, he would lose faster and more miserably!
This makes him feel both pressure and motivation.

"and……"

Cao Fan continued, "Don't forget, I came to Liangzhou this time, on the one hand, for Sun Xiangzong, and on the other hand, to establish my authority in the army. If I can gain the military power in the north, my position will be more stable."

In most cases, the royal family will not have only one heir.

Not to mention that there is competition for the position of Crown Prince, there is also competition for the position of Crown Prince.
He has several younger brothers at home...

Especially the last time I entered the palace, I saw my youngest brother riding on the emperor’s neck.

If I can achieve some success in the North, I will be able to rest easy.

"Sir..."

Yin Hanwen's face was filled with worry.

It is true that he usually flatters, but unlike Wen Qiushi, he and Cao Fan grew up together and have real feelings for each other.

"Hanwen, you don't understand."

Cao Fan forced a slightly bitter and self-deprecating smile from the corner of his mouth: "We, the Cao family, were born noble, but we also live a very tiring life. Once we lose, we don't lose our position, but our life. How can we not fight for it?"

"Sir!"

Yin Hanwen clenched his fists and said, "All Hanwen can do is to use his life to assist the prince with all his strength."

"Hanwen, given our relationship, you don't have to call me the prince in private. Just call me Brother Fan."

Cao Fan patted his shoulder and said in a condescending manner: "If one day I can really sit in that position, I will still rely on you to be my right-hand man."

"Don't dare."

Yin Hanwen was respectful.

"Ah~"

Cao Fan did not try to persuade him further, but just watched Chen Sanshi's departing back. He exerted more force with the hand holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and inserted it more than several inches into the ground.

He must win it back, trying his best!

……

"Little Junior Brother, please come in."

In front of the Supervisor's Mansion, Fang Qingyun said with a smile: "Master is waiting for you in the backyard."

"Brother, let me push it."

Chen Sanshi took the wheelchair from the servant and carried him into the house.

As he officially stepped over the threshold, he inexplicably felt a little nervous.

"Master, did you damage my keel carriage?"

"..."

As soon as they come back.

A maid came up to them and her tone was respectful, but she was also questioning them.

"I just touched it!"

Sun Buqi argued: "Your thing was broken to begin with, don't blame it on me."

"Master, you must fix it for me. It took me a month to fix it myself."

The maid dragged Sun Buqi to the side yard, and did not forget to greet them before leaving.

"..."

"General Fang!"

"I've met Mr. Chen!"

"..."

Similar situations continue to occur.

The servants in the Governor's Mansion abide by the rules, but there is no sign of oppression in them. They give people the feeling of being nannies rather than slaves.

When passing by a villa, I could even hear the sound of reading aloud.

"There is a private school in the mansion."

Fang Qingyun explained: "No matter if you are a maid or a servant, you can go to school. If you pass the assessment of the mansion, you can get rid of your lowly status and take the imperial examination. You can also learn martial arts. There are special teachers in the mansion.

“But it has stopped in recent years because if we do so, the capital will think that we are cultivating confidants and infiltrating the court.

“Even if they study and practice martial arts, they cannot escape from their lowly status; it all depends on their own interests.

"Little Junior Brother, why don't you speak?
"Don't you find it incredible? This is completely different from what is described in the saints' books, where the ruler is the ruler, the minister is the minister, the father is the father, the son is the son, and there is a distinction between the upper and the lower, and a strict hierarchy."

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi nodded slightly: "I am very surprised."

But he was surprised that this scene should not appear in this world.

"You don't seem to be shocked?"

Fang Qingyun was a little unexpected.

He did not hesitate and explained: "Master was born a slave. He was almost beaten to death because he refused to obey the rules. Fortunately, he met the current emperor who redeemed him and gave him the opportunity to practice martial arts. Only then did he get to where he is today.

“But the old man was never happy.

“Especially as I get older, the higher I go and the more I see, the more unhappy I feel, but I can’t figure out what the problem is or how to solve it.

"Later, Master met an immortal who gave him some pointers and he remodeled the mansion into this shape. Sure enough, he felt much more at ease after that."

"Fairy?"

Chen Sanshi noticed the key words: "There really are immortals in the world, Supervisor... Master, have you ever met one?"

"Maybe he is an immortal, at least that's what the master calls him."

Fang Qingyun recalled with admiration in his tone: "Mr. Mei appeared three times in Master's life, in his youth, middle age, and old age, and each time he gave Master guidance.

“Although I didn’t provide any help in cultivation.

“But the improvement in my state of mind is immense.

“Master said that without Mr. Mei, he would not have been able to hold on until today.

"If there is a chance, I would also like to meet Mr. Mei."

"I didn't help improve my cultivation..."

Chen Sanshi asked curiously, "Then how can you tell that it's an immortal?"

He didn't sound like an immortal, but rather like an enlightened monk who could answer psychological questions.

"Not old."

Fang Qingyun emphasized, "Master is in his eighties. He has seen off countless people in his life, but every time I see Mr. Mei, he looks as young as ever."

"There really is an immortal..."

Chen Sanshi was in deep thought.

It seems that the emperor’s sighting of an immortal was probably true.

“Junior brother.

A cold female voice interrupted Chen Sanshi's thoughts. He looked up and saw Sun Li, who was wearing a white gauze and pink skirt, greeting him and even bowing slightly, so he almost didn't recognize him.

"Senior sister, how can I bear your courtesy?"

Chen Sanshi was terrified.

He had never thought that Sun Li had such a side, a proper lady, totally different from her outside self.

Lan Jie'er once said that she was worried about leaving scars on her body and even cried.

She is still a girl at heart.

"My junior sister only started practicing martial arts in the past year. She rarely went out before, let alone fought in battles."

Fang Qingyun said: "She had a difficult and painful journey in martial arts. Everyone felt sorry for her. No one wanted to teach her at first. Later, she kept pestering me every day. I had no choice but to teach her sword skills."

He suddenly seemed like a different person, completely different from his usual steady appearance, and emphasized:

"Junior brother, don't look at me as a useless person now. When I was young, I was the number one talent in the Eight Camps. Even the boss couldn't compare to me."

"That's natural, you can see."

Chen Sanshi knew what was going on.

Otherwise, how could he, who was already disabled, still be the commander of a battalion and have his subordinates obey him so well?

"arrive!"

After passing through an archway and walking along the cobblestone path to the end, you will suddenly see a lake with no end in sight.

Sun Xiangzong sat on a rock with a fishing rod in his hand.

"Master!"

Chen Sanshi changed his words and said, "Disciple greets Master."

"Keep your voice down."

Sun Xiangzong emphasized that after setting up the fishing rod, he motioned for several people to come to the pavilion next to him.

On the stone table in the middle, there was a dense pile of books.

Chen Sanshi took a quick look and it seemed that they were all martial arts secrets manuals of all kinds.

He was quick to act and rushed to pour tea before the supervisor: "Master, have some tea."

It is only right and reasonable to pour tea.

Not to mention his master's identity, he also saved his life.

"Ah."

Sun Xiangzong looked at the purple clay teapot and asked casually, "I heard that you and your first wife have a good relationship?"

"very good."

Chen Sanshi answered truthfully.

"is it?"

Sun Xiangzong raised his eyebrows and said, "I also said that I would help you find a lady who can help you in your future, so that you can change your first wife into a concubine."

"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I don't need it."

Chen Sanshi clasped his fists and said, "My wife has been following me since we were short of food. If I were to kick you away right after you have achieved a little success, wouldn't that make me look like a ruthless person?"

As he was talking, he slowly realized that something was wrong. Why were they talking about this right away?

"Yeah."

Sun Xiangzong held the teacup, his face expressionless, and changed the subject: "Did someone from Xunxian Tower come to see you?"

"That's right. They also asked the disciples to meet at Hongxiu Tower."

Chen Sanshi had wanted to ask for a long time: "I wonder how Master handled it."

"Let it go."

Fang Qingyun took over the conversation: "Junior brother, if you want to go, you can go to Hongxiu Tower to have a look. They won't hurt you, and they might even be able to give you some benefits."

"it is good."

Chen Sanshi took note.

"Okay, let's talk about business."

Sun Xiangzong took two sips of tea and said, "Child, tell me, why do you want to be my disciple?"

“In the beginning, it was to avoid being bullied.”

Chen Sanshi answered without hesitation: "Now, I want to go further in the martial arts. It is rumored that Master, you have immortal skills. If there is a chance, I would like to learn it."

Sun Xiangzong and Fang Qingyun looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Good boy, that's direct!

"Unlike some people, who are clearly thinking about the benefits in their hearts and talking about righteousness all the time, it makes me annoyed to listen to them. Just say what you want to learn. What's the point of beating around the bush?"

Sun Xiangzong asked: "Then let me ask you, if one day you really reach a very high level, what would you do?"

"do not know."

Chen Sanshi said frankly: "I haven't thought about it yet."

"I haven't thought about it. Yes, I didn't think about it when I was your age. I'm sorry to embarrass you."

Sun Xiangzong asked again: "What do you think is your biggest flaw?"

"I……"

Chen Sanshi thought about it and said, "He is a bit lustful."

"..."

Sun Xiangzong's hand holding the teacup trembled.

"Master."

Fang Qingyun explained, "It's normal for young people to be full of energy. Besides, gentlemen love beautiful ladies. When I was young, I was also very romantic and caused trouble for you, Master."

"Shut up. How did your teacher know to focus on martial arts and stay away from women when he was young?"

Sun Xiangzong glared at them and said, "Change yourself! Being lustful is indeed a serious problem!"

"That's what the master taught me."

Chen Sanshi was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, if you want to learn, I will teach you."

Sun Xiangzong said solemnly: "However, the path to becoming an immortal is a very long process. You should first work hard on your martial arts. I will give you three years. After you become a martial saint, I will guide you into the path."

"Three years?"

Chen Sanshi pondered: "Master, isn't this too hasty?"

"You only have so much time. If it really doesn't work out, we'll talk about it later."

Sun Xiangzong pointed at the pile of books on the table and said, "These are what you will practice next. Huajin spear technique is also included in it. When you have finished practicing them all, come and ask me for the follow-up skills."

"All practicing?"

Chen Sanshi estimated that there were hundreds of them, and there were even several different books on the same weapon.

"It will be useful to you later."

Sun Xiangzong said, "You don't need me to teach you the standing practice step by step, do you?"

"Probably not."

Chen Sanshi looked at the martial arts method and felt a lot of pressure.

"Master."

Fang Qingyun looked at him, as if asking something.

"I haven't forgotten."

Sun Xiangzong put his hand on his closed disciple.

Chen Sanshi was stunned. He didn't feel any pain, but he just couldn't move.

He saw with his own eyes that a trace of green and mysterious energy flowed along his master's arm into his body, traveled around for a while, and then disappeared without a trace.

"what?"

Sun Xiangzong was slightly surprised and said with relief: "Old Four, he is really good, just like you."

"Congratulations, junior brother."

Fang Qingyun smiled and said, "In this case, you have two options."

"Two roads?"

Chen Sanshi was confused: "Master, what do you mean respectively?"

"The other path is taken by His Majesty. The Dharma is in his hands, and he would never be willing to give it to others. Even the Crown Prince cannot see it, so you don't have to think about it."

Sun Xiangzong waved his hand: "There is a little magic trick, you can try to practice it."

"Immortal magic?"

Chen Sanshi did not hide his expectations.

Fang Qingyun took out a yellowed page from his pocket, along with a booklet.

"Your fourth brother ended up in this state just because he was fighting for these things."

Sun Xiangzong added: "Don't expect too much. It's very difficult to practice it, and I don't have the things I need."

The fifty-seventh year of Longqing?
Chen Sanshi remembered what Wang Zhi said.

Fang Qingyun disappeared that year, and when he came back his legs were paralyzed and his skills were gone. So he went treasure hunting?

He took the book and the fragment.

The words recorded on the fragments were strange and weird, like scribbles, and it was impossible to understand what they meant.

The other booklet turned out to be a dictionary for translating mysterious text, and it looked like it was written by Fang Qingyun himself.

In contrast.

The fragments record...

Spell!

This is actually a spell!
After mastering it, you can kill people with just a snap of your fingers!
"How can I explain this to you?"

Fang Qingyun held his forehead and said, "To practice the 'immortal method', you need a special resource, which you can think of as a 'precious medicine'. If you don't have it, it will be impossible to practice it."

You mean Qi?

Chen Sanshi said silently in his heart.

His master and fellow brothers didn't know that he had the ability to observe qi, and he couldn't explain it himself.

But it is most likely referring to the Qingxuan Qi in the master's body!
"Three years."

Sun Xiangzong said quietly, "Within three years, I will find you some resources. Before that, just try your best. It would be a good thing if you succeed, but it doesn't matter if you fail. You can go meet the people in Xunxian Tower. They may still have some."

Does it mean to find the Qingxuan Qi within three years?

Chen Sanshi bowed and said, "Thank you, Master!"

"Junior brother, just watch here and don't take it away."

Fang Qingyun said seriously.

"it is good."

Chen Sanshi sat in the pavilion and read the book carefully.

He finally figured it out.

What is the Qingxuan Qi?

Reiki!

Whether practicing Taoism or magic, spiritual energy is an indispensable source of energy.

But for some reason, there is no spiritual energy between this world.

At least Chen Sanshi can't be found at the moment.

The full name of this spell is simply and crudely called "Sword Qi Technique". It absorbs spiritual energy through the meridians, and then releases it in a special way to transform it into an attack.

It also says above.

This is the lowest level of magic in the immortal world, so even if one has not formally started practicing immortal magic, mortals can practice it as long as their physical condition allows.

Since the things were given to him, it means that his physique is good enough.

Chen Sanshi watched with fascination until the afternoon, when he finally understood the content. After making sure that he had memorized it all without any error, he sat cross-legged and began to try to practice sword energy.

In an instant, it was as if a switch in the body was turned on, like some kind of foundation, connecting the meridians in the body and starting to absorb the green energy from between heaven and earth.

Meridians!

Linghe is also absorbed through the meridians!

Everything is connected!
pity.

The spiritual grass does not contain the Qingxuan Qi.

There is not even a trace of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Chen Sanshi practiced meditation according to the instructions on the fragment. Chaotic and mixed energy formed whirlpools around his body, but he couldn't absorb it into his body. His meridians couldn't absorb it, and after a long time, it began to hurt like a burning fire, so he stopped in a hurry.

The original purpose was just to record the practice method.

Just as the records say, without the Qingxuan Qi, one cannot achieve success.

"Brother, I'll give it back to you."

Chen Sanshi handed the remaining scroll back with both hands.

"finish watching?"

Fang Qingyun put away the things and reminded: "So far, only you, Master and I know about this matter, and the rest of the brothers and sisters, including Buqi and his brother, don't know.

"So, you are not allowed to reveal a single word to anyone, otherwise you will bring yourself into danger. Even Master cannot protect you all the time, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, brother. I'll remember it."

Chen Sanshi turned his head and found that his master had already returned to the lake to fish.

He clasped his fists and said loudly: "Thank you, Master, for your teachings. When I return, I will practice diligently and strive to achieve success as soon as possible."

"Bastard!"

Sun Xiangzong was furious and shouted in a low voice: "My fish has escaped, get out of here!"

"I'm sorry, Master..."

Chen Sanshi immediately fell silent.

"Go ahead."

Fang Qingyun said, "Today you officially become my disciple, and the rest of the brothers are waiting to celebrate with you in Danggui Courtyard. After a while, everyone will go their separate ways, and we don't know when we will meet again, so you should hurry up and go."

"it is good."

Chen Sanshi put hundreds of secret books into the bag he had prepared in advance and put it on his back. After bowing and clasping his fists again, he turned around and left.

Fang Qingyun pushed the wheelchair to the lake with great effort: "Master, you told me everything at once, without even saying that you would observe for a while. Aren't you afraid of any unexpected changes?"

“Don’t employ those you doubt, and don’t doubt those you employ. This is how I fight in battles, and this is how I teach my disciples!”

Sun Xiangzong said in a deep voice: "Besides, there is not so much time left. A person who risks his life to escort the people across the river first, no matter how despicable he is in the future, how despicable can he be?"

"Ah."

Fang Qingyun recalled his junior brother's attitude towards the mansion's arrangements: "Junior brother is indeed kind-hearted. In the past, some junior brothers saw us treating servants like this and almost jumped up and down and said that the etiquette system had collapsed."

"What a fart!"

Sun Xiangzong got angry without warning: "He is a lecher, he himself admitted it! How can I trust my daughter to him? Not to mention, he has a wife! Is my daughter Sun Xiangzong going to be someone else's mistress?"

"Master, this is wrong."

Fang Qingyun retorted, "Young Junior Brother has to agree to kick out his wife who has shared his hardships, then Master will really reconsider and examine his character, right?"

"Ah~"

Sun Xiangzong sighed and said, "Have you checked on Gu Xinlan?"

“I checked, but I haven’t found out yet.”

Fang Qingyun said: "What is certain is that she is definitely not the descendant of a criminal. If she is really related to a major case in the capital many years ago, her status might be more noble than that of a junior sister. She should be qualified to be the principal wife..."

"Then tell me, what should we do?"

Sun Xiangzong said: "I only have this one daughter, but many people only recognize my relationship with her!"

"In fact, the most important thing about this matter is what Junior Sister herself wants to do."

"Then what did she say?"

"I asked her indirectly, but she didn't mind. She often went to my house and didn't even mind taking care of my children..."

"You are unfilial! None of my children and disciples are filial to me, and you are also unfilial!"

"I?"

Fang Qingyun was unhappy: "Master, please don't curse at me."

"Don't talk yet."

Sun Xiangzong's expression tensed and he hurriedly lifted the rod, but he only pulled up a bunch of water plants, which made him even more unhappy.

“It’s all your fault!

"And that kid named Chen was so noisy that he scared away all my fish!

"Old Four, if you don't find me a good place to catch the fish today, I...Old Four, where are you going!"

"Squeak, squeak."

Fang Qingyun's wheelchair was pushed very quickly and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

……

"Hello, senior brothers and sisters!"

In the side room of Danggui Courtyard, a table full of banquets had already been prepared.

Second Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Brother, and Ninth Senior Sister are all here.

"Hey, my little junior brother, I miss you so much~"

Rong Yanqiu rushed over and hugged him affectionately.

"Sister..."

Chen Sanshi wanted to hide but couldn't, so he was forced to sit down next to her. He got to know several of his senior brothers one by one, and they toasted each other with a glass of wine.

"Okay~"

Rong Yanqiu put his arm around Chen Sanshi's neck and said, "You guys are senior brothers, why don't you quickly bring out the gifts? Second brother, let's start with you!"

"Haha~"

The wealthy-looking second senior brother stepped forward and took out a silver note from his pocket: "Senior brother, I thought about it and didn't know what to give. In the end, I think silver is more practical."

"Only five hundred taels? Second brother, can you be a little stingier?"

Meng Guangxin scolded, "Besides, your gift of silver is too vulgar. My family's gift is more meaningful."

As he spoke, he took out a wooden fish from beside his seat.

"Junior brother, this is a wooden fish that I made myself. You can accumulate some merits by knocking it!"

Chen Sanshi did not refuse: "Thank you, two senior brothers. It would be disrespectful to refuse. I will accept it."

"Can you two give me something useful?"

Rong Yanqiu rolled his eyes at them, got up and went to the next room, and brought back a set of armor. Judging from the style, it was also chain mail, but the color was darker, almost jet black, and the material was obviously different.

"Armor made of black iron."

Second Senior Brother Cheng Wei said, "Ninth Senior Sister, this must be several thousand taels of silver, right?"

"Who is as stingy as you guys?"

Rong Yanqiu looked over and said, "Junior brother, do you like it?"

"Seventh Brother, what about you?"

Meng Guangxin shouted in a hoarse voice: "You haven't said a word yet, don't tell me you haven't prepared anything."

Ye Fengxiu frowned slightly, but ignored him and just glanced at the corner of the wall, where there was a long object wrapped in coarse cloth.

"what."

Meng Guangxin ran over and picked it up. After tearing off the cloth, a brand new silver spear came into view.

This spear is over ten feet long, with a spear head one foot and three inches long and a tip three inches long. It is made of fine steel, black iron and gold, and one can feel its sharpness just by looking at it with the naked eye.

"This must be seven or eight thousand taels of silver, right?"

Ye Fengxiu snatched it and threw it to his junior brother: "Try it and see if it works well for you. Time is too tight to order one. I bought it from a master forger who uses spears. It's called the 'Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear'."

"Thank you all for the gifts, I am overwhelmed!"

Chen Sanshi thanked him again.

"Where are the eldest and the third?"

Second Senior Brother Cheng Wei asked, "They're not coming?"

Meng Guangxin said disdainfully: "Forget it if you don't come. Who wants to see him? I get annoyed when I see him."

"Old Five, I am your senior brother after all."

A powerful voice sounded.

A mountain-like figure appeared.
