"Dad just let you switch to a different major like that? He didn't say anything else?"

"They also gave me a [Heart Cleansing Pill], saying that I should first open up the two meridians of [Dripping Water Strength], and then take this pill so that I could cultivate the [Heavenly River Orthodox Method] in one go."
"Gudong!"

Ouyang Lan's throat bobbed beautifully, she swallowed hard, and her eyes shone brightly: "Father actually had such a good thing hidden away. This pill is the treasure pill of Medicine King Valley, and it is rarely seen."

Her face flushed with excitement, clearly happy for Lu Wubing: "Junior Brother, if you listen to Father's nonsense and take the medicine first before changing your practice, you'll really be wasting the precious medicine's power."

"How to say?"

"Come closer..."

Ouyang Lan tiptoed to Lu Wubing's ear and whispered, "Father probably doesn't know how many meridians you've actually opened, right? He thinks you're still cultivating the first meridian, the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian."

If one's cultivation level is insufficient, it is impossible to successfully cultivate the [Heavenly River Righteous Method], which explains why Father gave such a warning.

However, given your cultivation speed, junior brother, your internal energy cultivation is probably already close to the eighth rank, which already meets the requirements for switching cultivation.

In this way, by first modifying the cultivation method and then consuming the elixir, the speed of gathering qi and opening the meridians will be five times faster…

"That's true."

Lu Wubing was overjoyed to hear this.

As expected of Senior Sister Xiaolan, she has absolutely no interest in those arduous cultivation methods that require day and night toil.

When faced with tasks that require taking shortcuts or finding loopholes, their minds work extremely quickly.

Moreover, she was the only one who knew the speed at which she could cultivate her internal energy.

After all, she taught him the "Dripping Water Strength" technique, and she knew how many acupoints he had opened up by taking century-old ginseng slices on the way. With a little calculation, he could understand his progress.

"Senior sister, are you saying that the speed of cultivating internal energy using the [Heavenly River Orthodox Method] is five times that of the [Water Drop Force]?"

"It might be more than that, depending on each person's talent."

Ouyang Lan gave Lu Wubing a strange look, thinking to herself, if we're really talking about cultivation talent, who can compare to you?
If you're not careful, you could increase your speed by seven or eight times, or even ten times.

"Repair, fix, I can't wait."

Lu Wubing was anxious.

Even without considering the speed increase of seven, eight, or ten times, at my current rate of opening one aperture every three days, if I were to switch to the [Heavenly River Righteous Method] and accelerate my cultivation speed by five or six times, I could open two apertures in a single day.

Opening a meridian takes anywhere from five to ten days. With the added stimulation of medicinal effects, wouldn't it be possible to break through two ranks and open six meridians within a month, directly entering the sixth rank and reaching the second-rate level in the martial arts world?

Being called a "hooligan" sounds bad, but it does mean a real boost in combat power.

As for titles, they don't care anymore.

"Junior brother, have you forgotten something?"

"Yes, we still need to go to see the eldest and fourth senior brothers. Master told us earlier."

"That's right, since you're new here, your senior brothers are quite unfamiliar with you now."

If it's just a solo cultivation journey with one sword, there's nothing wrong with that. But if one day, you... you become the young sect leader..."

At this point, Ouyang Lan lowered her head, too embarrassed to continue.

"So this is what Senior Sister Xiaolan is like."

It's not even close to being settled yet, and they're already scheming to make me the young sect leader?

Lu Wubing was touched and wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back. He was actually a little reluctant to tease this senior sister.

"Let's go, let's see our senior brother first."

Last night, he fought fiercely with Xiao Shantong, and the meridians in his arm were injured. If he doesn't get timely treatment, he will feel uncomfortable.

As for Fourth Senior Brother, he was only affected by the cold, damp energy; he shouldn't be seriously injured.

Upon reaching the Sword-Asking Platform on the east side, Lu Wubing climbed the steps and found only his fourth senior brother, Zhang Dexing, sitting cross-legged, inhaling and exhaling the morning sun's energy to dispel the chill from his body.

"Junior Brother Lu has arrived. Please help me heal my injuries."

He stood up, bowed, and smiled.

"Oh, it's nothing, no need for such a grand gesture."

"This bow is not for healing injuries, but to thank you, Junior Brother, for protecting and protecting me last night despite the danger. I heard that you also used your ancestral divine acupuncture technique to save Junior Sister Su from the brink of death."

Zhang Dexing spoke very carefully and sincerely.

He rushed to the back mountain after hearing the whistle, but it was too late.

As a result, the place collapsed as soon as we arrived, and we didn't see anything.

When asked, none of the junior students could give a clear answer.

I just want to say that when I was feeling dizzy, my junior brother protected me.

Zhang Dexing didn't ask any more questions, but a few doubts quietly crept into his heart.

Xiao Shantong is the infamous Thousand-Faced Demon of the Hehuan Sect. His cultivation level has long reached the third rank, making him a first-rate figure in the martial arts world.

Moreover, masters from the Six Paths of Demonic Sect all share a common characteristic.

That is, they have a wide variety of methods and extremely strong combat power, which is incomparable to ordinary sect disciples and wandering martial arts practitioners.

In other words, even among top-tier masters, Xiao Shantong is not considered weak.

On the contrary, they are among the best.

Otherwise, given his conduct and style, he would have been killed by the righteous sects of the martial arts world long ago.

Such a person, yet he failed to defeat several junior disciples.

Even some of the junior brothers and sisters weren't injured.

They also had Dong Ning fire a whistle arrow.

This is very unreasonable.

There must have been something he didn't know about. With this thought swirling in his mind, Zhang Dexing no longer dared to put on any airs of a senior brother.

Although it seemed somewhat unlikely, it still elevated Lu Wubing's status by several levels.

They didn't even treat him as a junior apprentice.

"We're all from the same sect, we should help each other out, how can we stand idly by?" Lu Wubing chuckled.

He didn't want to go into details about what happened last night.

My master's words still echoed in my ears...

He glanced at Zhang Dexing's face and said solemnly, "Senior brother, if you don't mind, I'd like to try acupuncture on you."

Otherwise, the cold air would penetrate deep into the bones, potentially damaging the foundation of one's cultivation.

"Thank you, junior brother."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dexing felt a chill run down his spine.

I thought to myself, "That was close."

Last night, he wasn't paying attention and rushed too fast, so he was hit by Xiao Shantong's Illusionary Yin Finger.

Although I managed to block it with my sword, the internal force still managed to penetrate my body. It was extremely insidious and had a very strong penetrating power.

Even if he takes medicine and practices his internal energy, he can only gradually get rid of the cold.

Healing injuries solely with one's own internal energy could potentially leave behind some hidden dangers.

As Lu Wubing applied acupuncture, pulling out the chill and infusing it with vitality to stimulate Zhang Dexing's potential.

The fourth senior brother felt better on the spot, feeling refreshed and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

The two felt much closer to each other.

"Hey, where's Senior Brother?"

Ouyang Lan hadn't said much, quietly waiting for her junior brother to use acupuncture to treat her injuries. Only after it was over did she realize something was wrong.

Normally, given the eldest brother's generous and hospitable nature, he would have come out to greet them long ago.

Why haven't we seen anyone yet?

"Cough cough!"

Zhang Dexing coughed twice, his expression slightly unnatural. "My senior brother's arm was injured by the shock, but it's nothing serious. He returned to his residence and said he would be going into seclusion for several days."

This is because she doesn't want to lose face in front of Senior Sister Xiaolan.

Lu Wubing immediately knew that his senior brother Yue Lingfeng was losing face.

Yesterday's battle was a complete disaster.

He rushed forward and the sword flew away.

He didn't help at all, and even caused his fourth junior brother Zhang Dexing to get injured.

Under these circumstances, he felt embarrassed to see his junior sister.

"Go find him."

Ouyang Lan remained oblivious to the subtle emotions emanating from him, eagerly wanting to drag Lu Wubing along to find him.

You're trying to become a minotaur in person.

Lu Wubing was both amused and exasperated.

I'm too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Fortunately, Zhang Dexing was experienced and quickly stopped him.

"Forget it, I won't bother my senior brother. It's just a sprained arm. He'll recover after a couple of days of internal energy cultivation. Let him be."

"That's fine."

Both Zhang Dexing and Lu Wubing looked rather abnormal.

Ouyang Lan had at least begun to understand the nuances.

I will no longer persist in this matter.

After bidding farewell to her fourth senior brother, Ouyang Lan followed Lu Wubing to Lanxiang Courtyard, saying that she wanted to practice her protective magic for him.

I had just entered the house not long ago.

Footsteps came from outside the door...

The two looked up and saw their seventh senior sister, Lin Wenjing, carrying a bamboo basket and walking in hesitantly.

You can smell the delicious aroma of the food from a great distance.

"Seventh Senior Sister?"

Ouyang Lan was overjoyed.

"Did you know I was here and specially made spicy rabbit heads? Oh, and there's peach blossom wine too..."

He looked at the dishes, then at the wine jar.

Ouyang Lan turned to look at her junior brother.

Understood.

"Oh……"

"Junior sister, I didn't say you couldn't eat it." Lin Wenjing felt a little guilty for some reason and quickly smiled.
