If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 96: The Second Divination of the Thousand-Handed Thief Sect (Thanks to the leader of the "Lolita Destroyer Control" for the extra update)

Xiao Yu continued, "Now that Aunt Liu has mastered the Nine Flower Sword, let's not talk about whether she will teach her disciples, let's just talk about Aunt Liu herself.

If my aunt wants to go further, she can't just practice sword without practicing qi.

So my aunt has to take medicinal foods such as bone-strengthening soup every day, just like me.

Why don't you just cook a little something for me and let Fengxian take advantage of it?"

Aunt Liu shook her head and said, "If it had been thirty years earlier, I would have been very happy to partner with you.

Now the basic bone strengthening soup has no effect on me, but has side effects.

Because my body has already grown, drinking bone-strengthening soup will change my bones and distort my body shape.

You are different. You are still growing. Bone-strengthening soup is the best. It is low in price and effective.

As for me, I take the 'Qi-boosting Pill' every month, so you don't have to worry about my lack of energy."

"Qi-boosting pills?" Xiao Yu was surprised. "Is it the Guan family's Qi-boosting pill? One pill costs a hundred taels of gold!"

Aunt Liu shook her head and said, "It's not the Guan family's Qi-boosting pill. It's more effective, but the price is much cheaper."

"How much cheaper can it be?" Xiaoyu asked.

"It's probably 10% or 20% cheaper."

Xiaoyu was stunned.

Damn it, even if it's 80% cheaper, it's still taels of gold, and you have to eat one pill every month. It seems that the money scraped from the girls in Hongxiufang is not only used to build a big palace for the Prince of Qinghe, but also to buy the Great Qin Immortal Bell and Yiqi Pills for you.

Seeing Xiao Yu's expressionless face, Xiao Ziying secretly smacked her lips, and Aunt Liu coughed twice and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild, I didn't buy my Qi-boosting pills myself.

I don't have that much money.

Alas, you only know that I manage Hongxiufang for Jiaosifang, but you don’t know that I have also joined the "Tianmen Society".

I am still the leader of Tianmen Club Qingshui Bay.

As the elder of Tianmen Club and the leader of Qingshui Bay, it is reasonable for me to get one Qi-boosting pill a month!"

"What is the leader of Qingshui Bay?" Xiaoyu's expression was a little distorted.

The style of painting is not right!

The middle-aged woman in front of me is very different from the image of the leader of Causeway Bay.

"The leader of Qingshui Bay is a piece of shit. Hey, I've been confused by you, an ignorant little barbarian!"

Aunt Liu patted her forehead and said, "There is a river outside our Hongxiufang. It's called 'Qingshui River'. You must know it, right?

The source of Qingshui River is not far away, it is branched off from Lianghe River.

Weren’t you practicing martial arts on the roof of Xiaojingxuan?
You should be able to see that the Liang River in the south is divided into two, the one in the east is the Qingshui River, and the one in the west is the "Xiaoliang River".

The Qingshui River makes a big bend, and the area within the river bend is also called "Qingshui Bay".

In addition to our Hongxiufang, there are hundreds of other restaurants in Qingshui Bay."

"Oh, Aunt Liu is the head of the romantic business in Qingshui Bay." Xiaoyu suddenly realized.

"You also know 'Xing Shou'?"

Xiao Yu said, "I didn't know it at first, but on the way south from Hengsha Pass, I interacted with the carriage and horse dealers every day, and then I found out."

Aunt Liu shook her head and said, "I'm not the leader. Tianmen is just a low-class gang."

"What does Tianmen do?" Xiaoyu asked curiously.

"I do everything. Oh, don't ask anymore. You just came to Tianmen Town and don't know anything. Stay for a while and you will understand everything naturally."

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I buy Qi-boosting pills from the leader of Qingshui Bay?"

"I need it myself! If I can buy it at will, the Qi-boosting pills in Guan's pharmacy can still be sold for 100 taels of gold each? I can make a fortune by making the difference myself."

After a pause, Aunt Liu continued, "Believe me, the bone strengthening soup is most suitable for you at this stage. When you grow up to be a famous prostitute and enter the Zhenyuan realm, you can consider taking the Qi-enhancing pill as appropriate.

Although you made a lot of money yesterday, it still can't buy two Qi-boosting pills!"

Xiaoyu said: "I actually really want to make progress."

Aunt Liu didn't quite understand, "How did you make progress?"

"No need to wait until I grow up. Whenever I meet a martial arts master in the future, you can call me over to dance with the sword." Xiao Yu said.

Aunt Liu shook her head and said, "A martial arts master would come to a brothel and spend a fortune just to watch sword dancing?
You are still too young to understand the relationship between men and women."

"Don't Li Manman and Sister Shaoyao sell their art instead of their bodies?" Xiaoyu said.

"There are thousands or tens of thousands of prostitutes in the whole Western Shu, but how many Li Manman Shaoyao can you find? It's a good thing that you have ambition, but you have to become famous first before you can have ambition." Aunt Liu said.

"Alas, Aunt Liu has misunderstood. I don't want to be the only one in charge. I can be a supporting role for other sisters.

There are heroes coming to my sister's place. They want to watch Jian Ji dance with swords. Sisters can ask me to come over to join the show." Xiao Yu said.

Aunt Liu pondered and said, "It's not impossible. After Xu Dahao left yesterday, he made you famous in Tianmen Town. Today, 'Balihe Sword God' Wanliyun wanted to see you, but I declined.

But being a supporting role for others would be unworthy of a famous prostitute!

The so-called "famous prostitute" is one who is pretentious, and has been doing so since childhood. The more pretentious she is, the more famous she is.

If two famous prostitutes meet in the same occasion, they will compete openly and secretly for the limelight and to show off their reputation.

On the surface, it looks like a peacock spreading its feathers, but in reality it is a fight between hens.”

——Is this talking about the famous prostitute or the star who is fighting for his position?

Xiao Yu complained in her heart, but said: "I am young, I don't need any style or airs.

It is more practical to meet many famous martial arts masters, learn from their strengths and improve yourself.

It would be even better if I could earn some money from rewards to subsidize my cultivation.

When I become a human immortal, only the famous human immortal prostitutes will be worthy of competing with me. How many human immortal prostitutes are there in the world?"

"There is no immortal in this world who can be a famous prostitute."

Aunt Liu just glanced at her without any mocking or teasing as she had done before.

She still didn't believe that she could become an immortal at the age of sixteen, but after enduring hardship for thirty to fifty years, there might be a chance for her to become an immortal in one step.

Once one becomes a human immortal, no matter what his previous identity was, as long as he expresses his loyalty, the monarch may come to him in person and appoint him as "General Protector of the Country" or "Martial God of Shu Kingdom".

"However, your insight and awareness really impress me, your aunt.

In a few days, when you are familiar with the environment of Tianmen Town, I will arrange for you to meet with martial arts heroes as appropriate."

Xiao Yu finished her story. She glanced at Ziying beside her and said, "Aunt said before that many people have mastered the Nine Flower Beauty Sword. I wonder if they are still in Hongxiufang?

If it is convenient, let me see the charm of each flower with my own eyes. "

"So what if you've seen it?" Aunt Liu asked. Xiao Yu smiled, stretched out her hand and pulled out Aunt Liu's sword, and jumped at the edge of the flowerbed, landing her embroidered shoes on the spring flowers. Her body danced with her skirt and sleeves, like a blooming flower, and the sword in her hand was full of spirituality, the sword light exploded into pieces of gorgeous azaleas, delicate and beautiful like fire, and the garden was full of spring.

Xiaoyu also had the same warm, energetic and glorious demeanor as Aunt Liu at this moment.

"This, how is this possible?!"

Ziying's face was filled with amazement, but Aunt Liu was so shocked that she was stunned and simply couldn't believe what she saw.

The bushes of sword-like azalea flowers that spread over half an acre of land gradually disappeared.

Xiaoyu had landed quietly beside Aunt Liu, with his sword sheathed.

"Aunt, how is it?" she said with a smile.

Aunt Liu raised her right hand woodenly, stared at the sword in her hand for a while, and suddenly threw it out with force.

"Plop!" The sword fell into the lake ten steps away.

"Ah, Aunt, what are you doing?" Ziying asked in surprise.

"With Yu Fengxian here, what use do I have for the sword? I have practiced sword skills for thirty or forty years, so what's the point? I don't want to touch a sword or see a sword again in my life." Aunt Liu cried out in grief and anger.

Ziying shrank her neck, not knowing what to say, and just looked at Xiaoyu.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Aunt is confused. As the saying goes, there is always someone stronger than you.

Of course I, Yu Fengxian, am an extremely talented person, but there are countless heroes in the world, and I don’t know how many of them are better than me.

The Qi-refining practitioners who practice Taoism look down upon immortal martial arts, and regard them as unorthodox practices.

Living in such a real world, will I never touch a sword again?

The path of spiritual practice is never to compare yourself with others, but to constantly surpass yourself and compare yourself with who you were yesterday. "

Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, then sighed, “You’re right, I don’t need to compete with you.

Compared with most sword girls, I have comprehended the meaning of sword and am already a superior person.

Now is the time to go out and show off in front of others, to be proud and show off."

——Is this what I mean?
Xiaoyu was speechless.

"It's too late today. Let's do tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow morning, you should get up early and I will take you to visit some seniors who practiced the Nine Flower Sword." Aunt Liu said.

Xiaoyu brought an iron stove and a sack of charcoal back to Xiaojingxuan.

That night she got a big bag of medicinal herbs from Nanny Sun in the Beekeeping Alley.

When the outer paper package was opened, there were a dozen small medicine bags inside, with the names of the medicine bags marked on them with a brush.

There was also a note explaining the ingredients, price and function of each medicine packet.

"Uncle Zhang is quite honest."

Xiaoyu nodded slightly. At least Zhang Laosi didn't fool her about the price and quantity.

On the way back to Yingxiang Mansion from Feixiandu with Guan Zhong, they often stopped at the pharmacy to get medicine.

If there is a Guanjia pharmacy nearby, then go to Guanjia pharmacy. If there is no Guanjia pharmacy nearby, then go buy it from another one.

She has a basic understanding of the prices, quantities, and functions of more than ten commonly used medicine packs for physical training and mental nourishment.

The yard was really narrow, so Xiaoyu picked up the stove and the clay bowl, jumped up, and landed lightly on the roof without even the tiles making a sound.

"Alas, this is the mystery of internal energy. Once the internal energy is generated from within the body, one can immediately become a master who can move high and far." Xiao Yu sat on the roof, shaking his head and sighing.

Hong Qi in the yard bit her lip and said, "You have just practiced inner breath, why is your breath so strong and stable?"

"Oh, you can also tell the strength of my aura?" Xiaoyu asked in surprise.

Hong Qi said, "When you were practicing sword in the afternoon, you didn't care about your internal energy. Every sword strike was full of sword energy. You practiced for a full hour, but your face didn't turn red and you didn't breathe heavily. This is a sign that your internal energy is sufficient.

You step on a tree branch and it does not break, and you fall on tiles and they do not make a sound. This is a sign of a stable and free breath."

"Isn't it the same for others?" Xiaoyu thought of the "Kunpeng Transformation" again.

When sinking into the water to practice "Xiong Long Gong", the internal energy seems to be endless, constantly emerging from the meridians.

Internal breath is not true energy.

The warm currents that make up internal energy all come from the blood and body.

Therefore, warriors need to use bone-strengthening soup to strengthen their bodies in order to extract more internal strength.

Without the nourishment of medicinal food, the "heat" in the body and blood will soon be exhausted, and the internal energy will stop growing.

When you reach the True Essence realm, you will start to absorb "weather energy" from the outside world and merge it with your internal breath into True Qi. Only then can the internal Qi feed back into the body, strengthen your physique, and strengthen your soul.

Xiao Yu initially thought that he had just practiced for one day and the time for squeezing out his physical potential was too short, so the continuous production of internal energy was a normal phenomenon.

Hong Qi said: "I have seen many internal martial arts masters who have practiced for many years, but their Qi is not as abundant as yours, and their control over Qi is not as smooth as yours.

You haven't even practiced any special body movement skills, but you have already reached the realm of 'flowers flying across the water, leaves falling silently'."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "No, you are wrong this time. I have practiced very advanced body movement skills."

In fact, the practice of "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" includes steps and body movements.

Simply using internal energy to drive steps and body movements is the "qinggong" in the novels of the previous life.

The "Feng Yin Bao Jian" was evolved and deleted from the Feng Dun Xian Fa, and its body movements are even more exquisite.

If she had to keep a few cards in her hand and not overly provoke the Guan family members "whom she suspected had ill intentions towards her", she would have simply "flashed and teleported" right now.

Hong Qi was stunned for a moment, then insisted, "Do you think the steps in the routine are the body movements?
This is not wrong, but it is shallow.

You don't know how powerful the real body movement immortal martial arts are."

"for example?"

"For example." Hong Qi pursed her lips and uttered a name, "Thousand-Handed Thief Saint."

"Open the door quickly, open the door quickly, the whole city is searching for the second Bu of the Thousand-Handed Thief Saint Sect, every household must be checked. Open the door quickly!"

Just at this moment, a burst of chaotic shouting came from behind Xiaoxuan's wall.

Some people shouted to open the door, some people banged on the door, some people shouted loudly to block the alley, and there was also the sound of dense and rapid running.

Xiaoyu and Hongqiu looked at each other.

Then a loud whistle came from the southeast, "The Thousand-Handed Thief Sect's Second Diviner has stolen the treasures from the royal palace. The Imperial Guards have taken over the defense of Tianmen Town under the order of the monarch. Everyone stay at home. It is curfew now.

Those who were already on the street immediately put their hands on their heads and knelt on the street to be inspected. "

Hong Qi's expression changed again. "This is the Shu Kingdom's 'National Martial God', the Double-Spear General Chen Taiping! During the Thirty-Six Kingdoms Rebellion, he remained as still as a mountain and always stayed in the palace to protect the King of Shu. This time, he actually left Luodu. What treasure is more important than the safety of the King of Shu? Could it be that Uncle Erbu stole the Five Thunders and Eight Diagrams Heavenly Master Talisman?"
