Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 103: The tomb of the Qi Dao master, if you are a martial artist, how can you learn from each other? You have to bet your life on life and death!

Cai Ling'er, with her hair tied in a ponytail and a light and tight-fitting outfit, and her face covered in dust, was unknown what she had been doing in "Anning County" during the two days she was missing.

But I can only say that, as expected of a daughter of a big bank, she has done a great job in keeping her promises, and she does what she says for three months.

However.
In just a few days, after following Ji Xiu to wipe out the remnants of the Zhonghuang clan with a few arrows at the Lin Residence, she mysteriously plunged into the Dilongku mountain path and has not come back until now.

I found out as soon as I came back.

Ji Xiu, who originally lived in a small blue brick courtyard, suddenly transformed himself and now occupied the entire West Street. The maids and servants in the courtyard were in order, and it was a mansion of its own, which really looked quite impressive.

Although in Cai Linger's eyes, it was just that, her own home in Jiangyin Prefecture was much more magnificent than this.

But considering Ji Xiu's age, he is just a young warrior.

However, at this time when his temperament was the most reckless, he was not only extremely skilled in his hands, but also extremely meticulous, and built up such a deep network of contacts.

He was the chief now, and was in charge of such a big business in the county, replacing the former leader, which made her marvel at it.

Good boy, you are like this in the county. If you enter the government in the future, you will hopefully become a "Qigong master" one day.
He has the potential to be the head of a big bank!

It just so happened that the person guarding the house now was Ji Xiu's former coachman Hong Jiang. He was no stranger to Cai Ling'er, a noble lady from the capital city, and he did not dare to neglect her, so he let her in immediately.

Others were ordered not to approach the main house, so for Cai Ling'er, there was naturally no concern about "superiority".

However, as soon as she arrived, at daybreak, she saw in the bone-chilling cold a sneaky shadow on the snow-covered beams and tiles of the house.

Cai Ling'er took a closer look and felt that he looked somewhat familiar. She rubbed her eyes and saw clearly that it was indeed an "old acquaintance"!

Ye Ningzhi from the Embroidered Clothes Shop, one of the 'Thirty-Six Trades' in Jiangyin Prefecture!

"Why is it this damn woman!"

Cai Ling'er was originally humming a little tune, looking energetic and in a good mood, but when she saw Ye Ningzhi with her pretty eyes and eyebrows, she suddenly felt bad.

Jiangyin Prefecture is very big, but sometimes it is very small.

For example, the children of these big industries, especially those in charge of the upper nine industries and the circle of descendants of the "Nine Masters", are basically seen everywhere.

For the elders and masters, if a family's young people are promising, it will be a source of bragging wherever they go.

Cai Ling'er, on the other hand, followed the routine when it came to martial arts attainments. She had some talent, but not much.

After soaking his body in medicine jars to build up his muscles and bones, and breaking through the limit to obtain the "golden skin and jade veins", he was no longer able to continue.

But she has quite a bit of experience in other unconventional ways.

The old man in the family once said that he wanted to find a "heterodox" inheritance for her to build a foundation for the spiritual and spiritual arts, which was not comparable to the superficial and inferior teachings of Feixian Temple.

But the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

In this era when martial arts are flourishing, if you don’t have good fighting skills, you are destined to not stand out.

In their circle, Ye Ningzhi is about the same age as herself, and they have known each other since childhood.

This damn woman, to put it nicely, has a 'pure heart'. She is very devoted to martial arts, which is why she can make such great progress.

But it sounds harsh.
He's just a little bit stupid and lacks a string in his brain. He's short and small, but he's extremely competitive!
Cai Ling'er recalled that two or three years ago, she had already started to grow up, but Ye Ningzhi still looked like a child.

When they met for the first time, she thought she was a young lady from a big bank, so she patted her head with a smile. But soon after, she was thrown over the shoulder, which made her head buzz.

From then on, the nightmare began.

Ever since this damn woman became the disciple of her elder, the official in the government office, and entered a new school, she has been making rapid progress. Whenever she has nothing to do, she comes to her house for "friendly exchanges" and is very vindictive.

And which elder in the world doesn’t want his son to become a successful person and his daughter to become a phoenix?
For her old man, Ye Ningzhi was a child from "another family" who came to help his granddaughter improve her martial arts for free and looked very well-behaved, so he naturally agreed with pleasure.

I thought she had a good relationship with me, and she would send me some secret medicine, spiritual jade, etc. from time to time.
Even though she was angry and said something, the old man at home didn't take it seriously. Instead, he looked at Ye Ningzhi, a harmless woman with great talent, and asked her to build a good relationship with her.
God have mercy on me. I’ve been hit forty-seven times in three years, an average of once a month. How can I build a good relationship with him?

Cai Ling'er's biggest wish in this life is to see Ye Ningzhi being severely humiliated and devalued by her in terms of the martial arts attainments that she is so proud of!
Cai Ling'er was seen slipping out of the city and wandering around the counties of Jiangyin Prefecture, having completely forgotten about the dead woman.

Seeing this unlucky thing in such a remote place, he immediately gave her a bad look and shouted loudly, fearing that others would not know.

Ye Ningzhi was startled and fell on the tiles, as if she had done something wrong and was exposed, and almost fell off the beam.

When she heard the familiar voice, her dark eyes flickered and she turned her head sharply:
"Cai Ling'er?"

Ye Ningzhi's tone was hesitant, as if she didn't expect to see her here.

Then she saw that Cai Ling'er, who used to avoid her like a snake or scorpion and dared not say a word, straightened her back this time and spoke to her in a teasing tone. She couldn't help but raise her palms, with a fierce look on her face:

"What did you say?"

"Say it again?"

Ye Ningzhi briefly forgot the absolute advantage she had developed over Cai Ling'er over a long period of time, and realized that she was a thief who broke in and took her without permission.

Hearing this, Cai Ling'er instinctively felt a chill on her neck, and her mind flashed with thoughts, recalling some bad memories.

But when she turned around, she remembered that the place where she was standing was not Jiangyin Prefecture, but Ji's residence in Anning County, where the emperor was far away.

Suddenly, a bold idea came to his mind, his eyes lit up, and he hummed twice:

"Why, you're lucky that you're not caught and executed for being a thief in someone else's house, and you're questioning me?"

These words made Ye Ningzhi stunned:

"Your skin is itchy again?"

She spoke in a fierce tone, jumped down from the edge of the house, and was a little confused:

"But why are you here?"

With every step Ye Ningzhi took forward, her delicate little fists clenched tighter within her narrow sleeves.

Seeing this, Cai Ling'er swallowed hard and instinctively stepped back, but she still stiffened her neck:

"I am Ji Xiu's honored guest. He is where he is today thanks to my help. As a close friend, why can't I be considered half the owner of this mansion?"

"Mr. Ye, do you think you can do whatever you want in this city? Breaking into someone else's house without telling them is simply lawless!"

"Do you know how high his martial arts attainments are?"

"It's no exaggeration to say that I don't even need a second hand to hit you!"

Cai Ling'er gnashed her teeth and exaggerated the "little bit" of merit in forging the seventh-grade treasure bow "Shui Yu" into "billions of bits".

Ye Ningzhi was frightened and blinked her eyes, then suddenly smiled:

"Oh?"

"Is that so?"

"That's perfect."

Ye Ningzhi frowned, turned around and watched the door creak open, and a young man in tight clothes stepped out with a frown.

At the side of the door, the dozing clam girl Qingtuan had been listening with her arms around her knees, listening through the crack in the door in the middle of the night. She didn't know when she dozed off and fell asleep.

Hearing the noise, he woke up with a start. He rubbed his eyes but couldn't figure out what was going on. When he saw Ji Xiu coming out, he muttered incoherently:

"Uncle, are you done?"

The wolf-like and tiger-like words almost made Ji Xiu stagger, and his forehead turned black:

"What the hell is going on!"

But when he thought about how he had transformed his spirit into a dragon and realized the true Dharma last night, but he just bit Bai Shuo's finger, he felt guilty for a moment:

"Nothing happened between me and your lady."

"She's in there now. Go take care of her."

Qingtuan had an 'I understand' expression on his face, and then hurried into the room.

Then, Ji Xiu heard a fierce voice:
"Ye Ningzhi, a disciple of Ye Luan, from the 'Jiangyin Sword' school."

"Are you Duan Chenzhou's disciple?"

"Your master insulted my master time and again. I'm here to collect the debt from her now!"

Looking at this girl whose head only reached Cai Ling'er's chest, Ji Xiu suddenly remembered that it was the girl who helped at the dock, but...
Ji Xiu couldn't help but look at Cai Ling'er who was relieved:
“When did you become one?”

Before he could even finish the sentence "you've become my distinguished guest", Cai Ling'er ran over with her legs flying like the wind and hugged his arm, whispering in a hurried tone:

"I have a grudge against her!"

"Besides, her master also has a grudge against your master. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"No matter what, we are still in the same boat. You can save my face by saying that we are close friends. I will pay you later. How do you think?"

Cai Ling'er looked pitiful on the surface, but in fact her mind was racing:

"Hehe. Neither of these two is a good person. One cheated me and tricked me into becoming a maid. The other has been bullying me for two or three years. They just happened to come together. I'll win no matter who wins!"

She was calculating in her mind, but her face showed no sign of it.

However, Ji Xiu looked at her clinging to his arm, smiling:

"But what does that have to do with me?"

"Of course it does matter!"

Cai Ling'er raised two fingers and swore to the sky:

"Think about it, my service as a maid has a time limit, but our friendship is unlimited."

"I was born in the Upper Nine Sects of Jiangyin Prefecture. My grandfather was one of the leaders of the Nine Masters, second only to the masters of the schools, and held a very high status."

"Your master killed my fourth uncle, whom I had never met. Regardless of right or wrong, is this a grudge?"

"But I can guarantee that when you enter Jiangyin Prefecture in the future, the Jade Shop will never make things difficult for you."

"And my forging master is a master craftsman from the Jiangyin Weapon Casting Division, a master of the imperial army. If you want to forge spiritual swords and arrows in the future, come to me and I will pay for the cost."

"No!"

"I'll ask my master to forge it for you for free!"

"in addition."

She gritted her teeth, looked at Ji Xiu who seemed to be moved, hesitated for a while, and said mysteriously:

"This time I went into the mountains and used the compass to divine, and I found traces of a 'treasure' and something that looked like a 'grand tomb'."

"If it weren't for some unknown reason, the hundred-year-old monsters in the Earth Dragon Cave began to gradually move out of the periphery, forcing me to turn back with no choice."

"I will not share this benefit with you. I will wait until it is safer and enjoy it all by myself!"

"How about it, is it loyal enough?"

"Help me beat up this damn woman."

"These are all yours!"

Cai Ling'er patted her chest.

Ji Xiu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The master of Qi Dao, free action, the treasure in the mountains, everyone’s tomb?
Hey man, your gold coins haven’t exploded yet!

good good!
If that's the case, it's not impossible for me to accept a wealthy and powerful 'close friend' like you!
Ji Xiu smiled.

only.
Looking at the petite girl with tendons like jade and bones like colored glaze.

However, it gave Ji Xiu a sense of oppression that even a leather warrior could not give, which made him suddenly feel awed:
"Ye Ningzhi, the disciple who is the master's enemy?" "If the disciple is so powerful, then the master must be even more ruthless. Master Duan, what kind of characters have you offended?"

"Fortunately, this disciple is a little bit stupid."

"If it weren't for the fact that she attacked me at the dock, I would have directly used my powerful bows and crossbows to kill you on the spot, no matter how powerful your 'mercury blood and silver marrow' is. How could I avenge my master?"

"A young girl who is ignorant of worldly affairs and has become stupid from practicing martial arts, does she really think that the martial arts world is just about fighting and killing?"

"The Jianghu is full of cunning and scheming people!"

"But being stupid has its advantages. Since you have stood up for me, I will give you this opportunity."

"But whether you can grasp it or not is hard to say."

He thought to himself, and at the same time, he was full of fighting spirit.

Previously, Duan Chenzhou had told Ji Xiu that as long as one could fully cultivate the Golden Bones after Transcendence of Dragon Gate, he would be able to compete with the 'Mercury Blood and Silver Marrow' who had no talent and had only cultivated a limited physical body.

And now.
He had already sucked in the dragon's blood, entered the 'Dragon Gate', and crashed into the Denglong Immortal Palace, causing all the muscles, bones, qi and blood in his body to slowly transform!
Although I don't know how strong I am,
Ji Xiu was still pondering and measuring the gap between the two.

but!
Whoosh!
Ye Ningzhi chopped up the snow with her foot and shouted:
"What are you two whispering about?"

"I didn't eat this early in the morning. It's not good for your stomach to be hungry. Take my punch first!"

boom!
The jade bones and colored glaze sparkled, causing the blood and marrow to burst out. In an instant, Ye Ningzhi's thin and slender figure leaped up, but her soft back seemed to be carrying a ferocious tiger, and she approached Ji Xiu directly!
Without even saying a word, the fist started falling.

Ji Xiu was stunned:
"No, so crazy?"

The first time he saw a 'golden skin and jade veins' of his peers was at the Dilong Cave Mountain Road, where he taught the 'arrogant' Cai Ling'er a lesson.

First time seeing 'mercury blood silver marrow'.
It was Ye Ningzhi from the embroidery shop in front of her!
No, do you really think that just because I am gentle and easy-going, you can do whatever you want?

Ji Xiu's eyes became fierce, and he used his palm as a knife. His whole body was full of "knife force" like hellfire, and he slapped him!

boom!
In Duan Chenzhou's room.

Qin Zhuo, the eldest disciple of Tian Dao School, looked at his uncle who had reached the stage of Qi training and whose body was flowing with purple energy. His face was filled with joy and could not express it in words:
"Uncle Master, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Master still thought you were here."

Duan Chenzhou picked up a cup of tea with one arm, took a sip, and sneered:
"I haven't been back for more than ten years. Is your master still that compromising person?"

Qin Zhuo choked and found it difficult to speak.

Looking at his expression, Duan Chenzhou took a sip, put down the cup, and looked far away:
"Hmph, with his personality, he will only treasure the 'Heavenly Sword Style' that old man casually created. I'm afraid he has returned all the assets that he 'borrowed' and robbed back then, right?"

"But blindly tolerating will never end. It will only make others become more aggressive and exploit you."

Qin Zhuo remained silent, but still spoke:

"As the head of a school, Master, you should consider the livelihood of your disciples. You deserve the title of 'Master'."

Duan Chenzhou tapped the table:

"Are you worried that if I become a Qigong master, I will make a big fuss and go back to take your master's place?"

"It's not necessary."

The empty sleeves of the purple silk warrior condensed into half a large hand of Qi Dao. He looked in the direction of Jiangyin Prefecture and just shook his head and chuckled:
"I will go back naturally."

"And the first thing I will do when I return is to remove my name from the list of disciples of the 'Tian Dao Liu'."

Hearing this, Qin Zhuo was horrified:
"Uncle Master."

Before he could finish his words, Duan Chenzhou raised his hand to interrupt him:
"You can just enter the name of your junior fellow apprentice 'Ji Xiu'."

"He has great talent and has perfectly inherited the old man's path. Even his transformation from a mortal to a dragon has resulted in such great fortune and luck. His future prospects are limitless."

"This is exactly the kind of seedling that Chen He treasures the most."

"You call him and protect him."

"As for me"

Duan Chenzhou raised his lips and said:
"It must be a change of appearance and name."

"Those who have grudges will take revenge, and those who have grievances will complain."

He said indifferently and blew a breath.

There happened to be a gap in the window on one side, and a cold wind blew in, causing the crescent-shaped knife to make a buzzing sound.

Qin Zhuo was stunned and speechless for a moment, and felt a chill rushing to his head.

However----

boom!
There was a loud noise outside.

Duan Chenzhou frowned:

"What's the noise?"

After saying this, the purple-robed warrior stood up, put on his sword, and was about to go over to watch. Qin Zhuo was suddenly awakened, stood up, and followed him.

Just arrived at the main courtyard.
Then he saw his beloved disciple, gasping for breath, in a miserable state, riding directly on a girl lying on the ground with a fierce look in her eyes. He pushed her with his elbow and subdued her with his palm knife with an oppressive force like "fire and prison".

"The Perfect Sea of Fire and Sword"

"Junior brother has really inherited the true teachings of uncle, amazing!"

"No, wait!"

Qin Zhuo looked at Cai Ling'er who was clapping her hands in high spirits. He stared at the girl who was riding on Ji Xiu with bones like glass and tendons like jade in disbelief. He was shocked:

"This is, Ye Ningzhi!?"

One of the 'Two Swords of Jiang Shui', Ye Luan's disciple, Ye Ningzhi!

She was a future Qi-cultivating embryo who had broken two major limits at the age of sixteen. Her grandmother who worked in the embroidery shop treated her like a treasure and held her in her hands, fearing that she would melt, and had been cultivating her carefully!

Not to mention the thirty-six trades, even if you count all the gyms and schools together, there are only a handful of people who can have such attainments in martial arts at this age!

Moreover, most of them have already entered the stage of skin refining and are seeking the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe. They are among the top ten seats in the government court and are strong candidates to compete for the next generation of 'government examination'!
Such a person is hard to find an rival among his peers. It is said that Ye Ningzhi is a martial arts enthusiast with a pure heart. She thinks that there are few young peers in the Thirty-Six Trades and the City Dojo who can beat her!

At once.
He was ridden and beaten by his 'young junior brother' whom he met for the first time! ?

"Are you satisfied?"

Ji Xiu's breathing was disordered. He never expected that this girl could be so powerful. If he hadn't absorbed the dragon blood and his blood marrow hadn't been activated and the dragon power was surging, he might not be able to defeat her!
And
This woman was too cruel. No wonder Cai Linger got so angry when she mentioned it.

Who can stand being beaten like this since childhood?
Ye Ningzhi remained silent stubbornly, turning her face away.

boom!
Ji Xiu didn't tolerate it and just went up and punched him!
He has no sympathy for women.

This woman.
Very thick skin! Thicker than him!
This little bit of weight can't even break her skin!

"Are you satisfied?"

"."

boom!
"Are you convinced!?"

"."

After a while.

Ye Ningzhi's hair was scattered and her eyes were red. Seeing this, Ji Xiu relaxed his thoughts and felt bored:

"You don't even have the confidence to face failure. After all, you are just a noble lady from a mansion who is ignorant of the world."

"Forget it. It doesn't matter whether you accept it or not."

"After all, there is no chance of winning again."

Ji Xiu rubbed his wrist, stood up and left.

And Ye Ningzhi, who had been silent at first.
Hearing this, his whole body trembled:
"you!"

"What are you!"

Cai Linger put her hands on her hips and said happily:

"You beat this and kick that every day, and you call yourself the future 'the best of the young generation in Jiangyin'. But you didn't expect that you couldn't even hold on after coming to a county, right?"

"Deserve it!"

Hearing Cai Ling'er's undisguised ridicule, Ye Ningzhi bit her lower lip stubbornly and looked at the strong-dressed young man in front of her:
"I'll win next time!"

"I"

Ji Xiu frowned and looked back at Ye Ningzhi:
"Ms. Ye, you helped me once at the dock, and I didn't do anything serious because I was thinking of your kindness."

"Otherwise, just because you came here without any notice, I can call the county soldiers to shoot you into holes with strong bows and crossbows. No matter what realm you have cultivated, it will be useless."

"You claim to be seeking revenge"

"I won't kill you this time."

"Then, next time."

Ji Xiu's eyes gradually turned into a pair of golden pupils with flames, showing indifference and majesty:

"Are you ready to risk your life?"

"If you don't have any, don't play these tricks between noble ladies and gentlemen."

"Ji started from humble beginnings, a country bumpkin, and doesn't know what it means to stop when the time is right."

"Master taught me how to use the sword."

"From the beginning, I only knew——"

"Martial artist, what you cultivate is the 'killing skill'!"

Wow!
As soon as these words were spoken, the tremendous pressure almost crushed Ye Ningzhi.

Even though the two were at similar levels and were evenly matched, Ji Xiu was only halfway ahead.
Difference in mood.

Can't be compared.

She was dazed. Her mind, which had been holding on for a long time, was frightened by this. Coupled with the threat from the spirit, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell into the snow.

After a while, he spoke in a low voice:
"I'm done."

Seeing this scene, Cai Ling'er secretly smacked her lips, and couldn't help but feel sorry for it:

"Hey, Ji Xiu, didn't you go too far? She has a strong background. Don't ruin the martial arts and Zen mind of this generation of Qilin women in Xiuyihang, or else..."

Cai Ling'er walked up to Ji Xiu and poked his arm. Ji Xiu smiled and grabbed her with his backhand:
"Instead of caring about others, my best friend, Miss Cai Ling'er, you might as well think about it and recall the past..."

"The benefits you mentioned"

"Should I tell you the truth?"

Cai Ling'er's expression froze.

Bad.

It's time to be generous again.

(ps: I was so exhausted last night that I fell asleep before I could even hold on. I finished writing after get off work. This chapter has more than 6,000 words, of which more than 1,000 were free words I added later QAQ. I really can’t stay up all night.)
