Immortality begins in the Great Wilderness Grotto Heaven

The next day at noon, the sky was clear and the air was fresh.

Congratulations, Senior Brother Fang!

Inside the courtyard, Fang Xu, who was concentrating on practicing his sword, looked in the direction of the sound.

Then, Li Mu, the junior brother who had come to deliver the news yesterday, ran over excitedly.

"What brings you such joy, Junior Brother, in broad daylight?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Xu's eyes flickered, but his expression remained calm as he spoke.

"This morning, for some unknown reason, a disciple saw Zhou An being summoned to the study by the master."

When he came out, he was exhausted and had difficulty walking, clutching his waist and abdomen, and was limping.

If I'm not mistaken, then Zhou An must have received a severe beating from his master.

As he spoke, Li Mu looked at Fang Xu with admiration.

"Yesterday, my senior brother told me not to worry about this person, but I didn't quite believe him at first."

Now it seems that this person is indeed not qualified to compete with his senior brother for the future position of head of the academy.

"They are all fellow disciples. I suppose Junior Brother Zhou must have acted rashly and angered Master."

Seeing Li Mu's gloating expression, Fang Xu smiled inwardly, but said in a serious tone.

"By the way, how's Junior Brother Zhou's temporary assignment going?"

"According to Feng Ping, he is very likely to have accepted Junior Brother Chen's invitation."

After all, when he left, an outer disciple saw Junior Brother Chen give him ten catties of rhinoceros meat.

Li Mu said in a deep voice.

"Chen's Trading Company... In that case, it's possible that Junior Brother Zhou and I are assigned to the same place."

As he spoke, Fang Xu looked at Li Mu with a meaningful gaze.

"Don't worry, senior brother, I will keep a close eye on him these next few days."

Li Mu understood immediately and quickly replied.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, junior brother."

As they spoke, Fang Xu took the tea that had been prepared on the table and handed it to the latter, who immediately looked grateful.

Willow Lane.

"My master is truly vengeful. I only told a little lie to Senior Sister Xu in his name."

He actually used the guise of giving me pointers to secretly beat me up.

Fortunately, I can continue to make progress for free in the next few days.

Thinking of this, Zhou An took a deep breath and then pushed open the door with the rhinoceros meat that Chen Wen had previously brought.

The next day, early morning.

【Pure Yang Evil-Repelling Sword: (Mastery 126/500)】

【Tiger-Taming Yang Blade: (Mastery 118/500)】

"I will strive to bring this swordsmanship and saber technique to perfection today."

Looking at the azure sky, Zhou An said goodbye to Guan Qiaoqiao and immediately headed towards Zhengyang Martial Arts School.

Sunrise and sunset, and before we knew it, it was evening.

Under the orange-red sunset, Zhou An dragged his weary body through the shadows of the willow trees in Willow Lane and pushed open the door.

Anping Lane.

"Senior Brother Fang, something seems off today."

In the courtyard, while Zhou An was focused on eating the monster meat and practicing the Tiger Subduing Fist, Li Mu frowned and came to Fang Xu again.

"Zhou An went to see his master again today. Although he was still exhausted when he came out, but..."

Some disciples reported that the courtyard where their master resided was filled with the constant buzzing sound of swords clashing and striking all day long.

At this point, the gloating from yesterday was completely gone from Li Mu's face; instead, a hint of seriousness appeared amidst his doubts.

"Although it was accompanied by the master's angry scolding, it seemed more like he was being specifically taught."

"It's alright. I suppose Master felt he had scolded him too harshly yesterday, so he gave him some compensation today."

This kind of thing has happened before.

Fang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, but his expression remained calm.

"Has Senior Sister Xu gone to see Senior Brother again?"

Upon hearing this, the latter shook his head.

Let's continue to observe.

Upon seeing this, Fang Xu spoke up.

Day three.

"Senior Brother Fang, Master is personally teaching Zhou An martial arts again today."

all day.

For an entire day, even Senior Sister Xu couldn't get close to her.

Meeting Fang Xu's gaze, Li Mu said with a heavy expression.

"Even when Master personally taught me before, he had never been this serious. Besides that..."

Although Senior Sister Xu was kicked out, she had a smile on her face as she left. I wonder why?

Upon hearing this, Fang Xu's smile suddenly froze, and even the hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

"It's only natural for Master to give him some pointers."

Fourth day.

"Senior Brother Fang, this is the third day already."

In the courtyard, under the setting sun, Li Mu held a teacup in his hand and breathed heavily.

"For three days in a row, he taught martial arts from morning to night. Could it be that Master really intends to take him as his personal disciple?"

After all, the temporary assignment period has already ended.

At this point, Li Mu glanced cautiously at Fang Xu.

Three days.

In just three days.

He had been gloating as he watched the show, but now...

For three consecutive days, he personally taught Fang, leading many outer disciples to speculate that Zhou An was very likely to replace this senior brother Fang.

Some even say that the reason why Senior Sister Xu Hongyu left with a smile on her face a few days ago is because Master is very likely to have betrothed her to Junior Brother Zhou.

Li Mu naturally did not believe such rumors.

But what about the former?

The daily instruction in martial arts from morning till night is a privilege that ordinary inner disciples cannot enjoy.

Seeing Li Mu's cautious expression, Fang Xu didn't say anything, but silently wiped the long sword in his hand.

This action seemed extremely natural, but where Li Mu couldn't see, Fang Xu had already tightly gripped the white cloth on the sword in his palm, crumpling it into a ball.

He couldn't figure it out.

Given Master's usual lazy demeanor, how could he possibly teach martial arts from morning till night for three consecutive days?

Even he himself had only been personally taught for half a day back then.

"I'd like to see how many days your master can teach you."

Looking at the gleaming longsword in his hand, Fang Xu took a deep breath.

fifth day.

"Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come anymore."

In the courtyard, Xu Tai looked up at the fish-scale-like red clouds in the sky and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"With your current mastery of swordsmanship and saber techniques, let alone a month from now, even now, Hongyu has no way to deal with you."

Five days.

In just five days, he watched as Zhou An grew from a novice learning swordsmanship to a level where his skills were no less than his own.

I can't teach anymore.

If he continues teaching like this, he'll probably lose all face.

"It's all thanks to Master's excellent teaching. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made such great progress."

As he spoke, Zhou An had a sudden thought, and two skills immediately appeared before his eyes.

【Tiger-Taming Yang Blade: (Perfect 862/1000)】

【Pure Yang Evil-Repelling Sword: (Perfect 913/1000)】

They were just a little short of mastering these two skills to perfection.

In comparison, the Tiger Subduing Fist is slower, still 232 points away from complete perfection.

"Let's skip the flattery. But you, have you really thought this through?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tai shook his head and then looked solemnly at Zhou An, who was holding a sword.

"With your talent, you only need to cultivate step by step, and it won't be long before you can step into the first stage of Qi and Blood Transformation."

There's absolutely no need to rush to the city's defense headquarters to become a member of the Night's Watch.

"If I stay at the martial arts school, will I be able to obtain the cultivation techniques to reach the supernatural realm?"

Zhou An said in a deep voice.

"cannot."

Xu Tai shook his head, did not try to persuade him further, and turned back to his study.

"This skill is called Iron Shirt Skill. It is a technique specifically designed to temper the skin and membrane after one has entered the stage of Qi and Blood Transformation."

When one cultivates to perfection, one is not afraid of being slashed by swords.

This technique is difficult to master for ordinary disciples, but it shouldn't be a big problem for you.

As he spoke, Xu Tai casually tossed the cultivation manual in his hand over.

"However, this technique alone is far from enough to deal with demons."

If you truly desire to master supernatural powers, once you become a Night's Watchman, you must find a way to obtain the Golden Body Technique.

By the end, Xu Tai's gaze had become more solemn than ever before.

"Golden Body Technique, what kind of technique is this that's related to the realm of supernatural powers?"

Zhou An's eyes flickered, and he quickly asked.
