Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

Although he also seemed to have said that anyone who believes in promises is a fool.

"Because my cultivation level has increased quite quickly, I have trouble controlling the strength of my sword. Miss Zhu, please be careful." Jiang Li reminded her seriously. After hesitating for a moment, he put away the spiritual sword that had been transformed into a top-grade sword because of his sword power, and only the Xuehua Sword was left in his hand.

He didn't even use his own sword power, but directly chose to replicate Mu Xuezhi's sword power, and replicate it to the extreme. The core of Mu Xuezhi's sword power lies in purity, the purest sword.

In the darkness of the night, he drew his sword.

The Xuehua Sword cut through the darkness, leaving a streak of light in it. In the blink of an eye, the sword tip had already arrived in front of Zhu Qiutang. Although Zhu Qiutang had contempt in her eyes before, the vague uneasiness in her heart also made her react quickly. She just raised her hand, and the sword tip blocked Jiang Li's sword. Her eyes also became cold at this moment.

Jiang Li quickly changed his moves, with the sword pointing to the left. Zhu Qiutang swung his sword to block, waiting for an opportunity to draw his sword. Jiang Li raised his sword to block again, and the two of them countered each other's sword moves. The sword tips and spiritual energy flashed fireworks in the darkness.

Zhu Taozhi, who was watching from the side, was a little nervous.

In these years, she and her elder sister had sword fighting, and each time she was defeated, she was not narrowly defeated, but completely defeated. Her elder sister had long surpassed her in the comprehension of sword power, and now her elder sister's cultivation level was even the ninth level of the minor tribulation. Although Jiang Li's cultivation level had reached the late Nascent Soul stage, but...

but……

"Miss Qiutang's sword is indeed very fast." Jiang Li suddenly spoke in the gap between swinging his sword to block.

At this time, the two of them had already exchanged more than 500 sword strikes against each other within half an incense stick of time. Onlookers could only see dazzling light and shadow, and only the two Mahayana cultivators behind Zhu Qiutang could see the sharpness of the attack. Jiang Li's swordsmanship was always calm, and he never panicked because of any of Zhu Qiutang's moves, nor did he reveal any flaws, completely leak-proof. His sword power was not inferior to Zhu Qiutang's at all, but it felt inexplicably dull, not as domineering as Zhu Qiutang's.

Jiang Li had already thrown out five hundred sword strikes, and he was counting them one by one. But at this moment his voice was particularly calm, without any panic, and the hand holding the sword did not tremble at all.

He used these five hundred sword moves only to familiarize himself with the feeling of spiritual energy flowing through his body. After all, he was not used to it. There was too much spiritual energy and he could not use it all. In the past, when he debated sword skills with others, they never tested sword moves. They always tried to kill the enemy with one sword move. Suddenly, after using a few sword moves, he felt unexpectedly happy.

He did not have any particular fixed sword moves, because he knew everything. In other words, after practicing five hundred sword moves, he had learned all of Zhu Qiutang's sword moves and even had a general understanding of the sword's power.

"But your sword moves and sword momentum always give me a feeling that you are very urgent and impatient. Maybe it seems overbearing to others, but I can feel the chaos in your sword moves. This chaos is in your emotions, and it is also an old problem left over from your sword training for so many years. It is definitely not because you are confused at the moment."

"You are of such a noble status, what in this world can make you confused? Gradually, this feeling of confusion has been integrated into your sword moves. Although everyone's sword moves are different, in my opinion, your sword moves still have a lot of room for improvement, and you seem to be a little flustered and can't find the direction."

"People say that when you see a mountain, it's a mountain; when you see water, it's water. You need to calm your mind a little more so that your sword moves can be more harmonious and smooth. The sword moves you are pursuing now are too overbearing and extreme. In the end, you will only hurt others and yourself. The gain will not make up for the loss."

"Of course, you will scold me for talking too much nonsense and boasting in a while. So before you say these words, please open your eyes carefully, Miss Qiutang."

"I'll teach you how to use the sword."

Jiang Li held the Xuehua sword in his hand and assumed the starting posture of Zhu Qiutang's sword moves. He began to attack Zhu Qiutang with the sword. Zhu Qiutang was stunned. She didn't understand when Jiang Li had learned her sword moves and even imitated them exactly. His sword moves were even more perfect than hers. In some details, he even used them better than her!

Zhu Qiutang's sword energy consisted of a total of 128 sword moves, and Jiang Li used all of them without missing a single one. With each sword move, the sword energy became more concentrated. Zhu Qiutang sensed a familiar aura from his sword energy, and when he had used half of his moves, she suddenly realized that Jiang Li was clearly using her sword energy!

Jiang Li continued to strike out 128 swords. When he struck out the last sword, Zhu Qiutang, who had been trying hard to block him, was no longer able to dodge. The sword force was also fully concentrated at this moment. His last sword was also domineering, but it seemed particularly calm. If Zhu Qiutang was chasing a violent and wild tyrant before, the sword force used by Jiang Li at this moment was more like an emperor who looked down on the world.

He drew his sword so calmly, but the power of the sword was so arrogant that people could not help but kneel to the ground.

Jiang Li placed the sword across Zhu Qiutang's neck, but did not move forward any further. He looked at Zhu Qiutang, who was completely stunned at the moment, and his expression became somewhat gentle again. "How much have you learned?"

Zhu Qiutang was speechless for a long time. She stared at Jiang Li blankly. A gust of wind blew past, ruffling her hair. She finally opened her lips slightly and said, "30%, no, 20%...?"

"I can teach you slowly on the way to Wanhua Valley if you want to learn." Jiang Li said softly.

"Who...are you?"

"I told you, the young swordsman of Xuantian Dao Jizong, Zhu Taozhi's good friend."

Jiang Li retracted the Xuehua Sword in his hand. After all, the moment he placed the sword across Zhu Qiutang's neck, he sensed that the two sixth-level Mahayana masters behind her had completely locked onto him.

But it was also true that he didn't show any sign of panic.

Jiang Li returned to Zhu Taozhi's side and winked at her, "Okay, now we can go to Wanhua Valley."

But Zhu Taozhi silently raised her calf and stepped hard on his foot.

"It hurts!" Jiang Li muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Why didn't I say before that you would teach me sword?" Zhu Taozhi crossed his arms, his voice full of complaints and grievance.

“I didn’t know you wanted to learn.”

…Anyway, it’s definitely not because your swordsmanship is too weak that I’m too lazy to learn it.

"I don't care, I still want to learn."

"Her sword skills are deeply ingrained. The sword move I just used can only teach her. But if you want to learn, I can teach you how to use your sword moves to be more powerful."

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

Zhu Taozhi snorted, "You're smart."

Chapter 153: Chapter It Doesn't Hurt

From the very beginning Jiang Li never thought he would lose.

Just like Zhu Qiutang's pride, he was not proud, but he never liked to do things without certainty, otherwise he would not have gambled on these two swords. When he was in the early stage of foundation building, he had estimated in his mind that even if he faced Ye Guixu and Jiang Huanyang consecutively, he would have a 50% to 60% chance of winning without talisman paper and formation. At this moment, his cultivation had reached the late Nascent Soul stage. His body, which had been unable to be nourished by spiritual energy in the past, was now in peak condition, not to mention the blessing of that drop of black phoenix blood.

Zhu Qiutang could indeed be considered a very powerful opponent, but Mu Xuezhi’s sword skills had been practiced for hundreds of years and were still not as good as his. No matter how powerful Zhu Qiutang was, how powerful could he be?

Everything was just as he expected, so at this moment the three of them boarded the spirit boat and headed for Wanhua Valley.

....................................

There were only three people on the spirit boat, and the two priests brought by Zhu Qiutang were hiding behind the spirit boat. Once there was any disturbance, these two priests would jump out to protect the two princesses of the Northern Territory.

At this moment, Zhu Taozhi was lying on a recliner, eating fruit and watching Jiang Li and Zhu Qiutang fighting with swords in front of her.

She was not in a hurry to find Jiang Li to learn sword. Instead, she was very happy to see Zhu Qiutang being defeated. Her sister had been cold and arrogant to her for so many years, but now there was finally someone who could defeat her and shatter her pride. Zhu Taozhi was secretly happy in her heart.

It was still late at night. Jiang Li was helping Zhu Qiutang disassemble her sword moves one by one. Zhu Qiutang was learning very seriously. She had a great talent and could understand things quickly. It only took Jiang Li an hour to teach Zhu Qiutang his improved sword moves. As for how much she could understand next, that depended on her own luck.

Zhu Taozhi looked a little sleepy, and it would take some time to reach Wanhua Valley. She yawned, stood up, and went to the room in the spirit boat. "I'm sleepy. Let me sleep for a while. Call me when we get there."

Jiang Li nodded, then put away the magic sword in his hand.

"Are you going to rest too?" Zhu Qiutang's eyes moved to Jiang Li's face.

At this moment, the two were standing on the deck, with a full moon hanging high in the sky and the stars shining brightly. Zhu Qiutang stood straight in front of them, with the sparkling gems on her bodice and skirt reflecting the luster. Jiang Li glanced at her and saw that she seemed to have something to say, so he replied, "I'm not in a hurry to rest. What's wrong?"

"I want to talk to you."

"Please sit down." Jiang Li came to the tea table, fiddled with the tea tray on the table, took out some of his treasured tea leaves, and boiled hot water.

Zhu Qiutang sat opposite Jiang Li. After the two looked at each other for a short while, Zhu Qiutang slowly spoke, "What is your relationship with Taozhi?"

"If I say we are just good friends, will Miss Qiutang believe it?"

"With your talent for swordsmanship, since you can defeat me, you are qualified to be her husband. The Northern Territory does not abstain from intermarriage with foreign races, and my mother is also an open-minded person. You don't have to worry." Zhu Qiutang seemed to have thought of Jiang Li's worries and explained to him softly.

Her eyes were no longer so cold at this moment, but instead inexplicably revealed a bit of charm, and her tone became much softer. Although Jiang Li looked at this face that was almost exactly the same as Zhu Taozhi's, he still felt a little bit out of place.

"But we are indeed just good friends." Jiang Li replied softly.

Zhu Qiutang looked at Jiang Li deeply, as if she wanted to ask something more, but gave up after a moment and asked the next question, "You said earlier that my sword moves were a bit impatient, how did you see that?"

"Feeling." Jiang Li poured the tea from the teapot into the cup and pushed it in front of Zhu Qiutang.

"Feel?"

"Yes, everyone who holds a sword will use it in different ways, so I just rely on my feeling."

Zhu Qiutang understood, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked softly, "What should I do?"

"I don't know why you are so impatient, so naturally I don't know what to do. Perhaps it's better for you to ask yourself this question."

After Jiang Li finished saying this, Zhu Qiutang fell into silence for a long time. She didn't even sip the tea on the table, and Jiang Li didn't say anything to disturb her thoughts. A long time passed like this.

In the end, Zhu Qiutang stopped dwelling on this question. She looked at Jiang Li's face and studied it carefully for a while. She said, "I don't know why, but I always feel an inexplicable sense of closeness when I see you."

This was not said in order to build a closer relationship. Zhu Qiutang indeed had such a strange feeling. Jiang Li certainly knew the reason, because he also had a drop of Black Phoenix blood in his body, which was equivalent to having almost the same blood flowing in their bodies. It was understandable that she felt familiar with it.

But thinking of this, Jiang Li found it even more strange. It was obvious that Zhu Taozhi and Zhu Qiutang were sisters of the same blood and were twins. If there was no other reason, how could they have a bad relationship?

The only difference between the two is their luck, but Zhu Qiutang's sword power is obviously much stronger than Zhu Taozhi. Logically speaking, God is fair. As Jiang Li thought about it, he suddenly widened his eyes and understood.

"Miss Qiutang's swordsmanship is so impatient because of her luck, right?" he asked.

Zhu Qiutang was slightly startled. She looked up into Jiang Li's eyes, not understanding how he guessed it.

"Because of her bad luck, she is prone to going astray when practicing. If she didn't have someone to protect her all year round, she would often be worried about her life. So your sword must be more powerful than Zhu Taozhi's. She can practice sword diligently without worries, but you are different. Your sword must be the best and fastest, so that you can have a chance to cut off those bad lucks."

Zhu Qiutang's eyelashes drooped slightly, it seemed that Jiang Li guessed right.

Zhu Taozhi works very hard in practicing sword skills, but she is different from Zhu Qiutang. Zhu Qiutang practices sword skills just to survive, to cut off those bad lucks and continue to live.

"Miss Qiutang seems to have some hidden injuries." Jiang Li suddenly said.

Zhu Qiutang raised her eyes and looked at him in surprise.

"I know a little bit about medicine. It seems that the hidden injuries on Miss Qiutang's body were caused by thunder tribulation, which caused the spiritual energy in the acupoints to flow unsmoothly. Over time, her body will naturally appear tired. This is what I sensed when I was discussing swordsmanship with Miss Qiutang before."

"Yes." Zhu Qiutang looked at the tea remnants on the table again. "Every time I go through a minor tribulation, my thunder tribulation is more fierce and strange than that of ordinary people, but thunder tribulation is unavoidable. Over time, my acupoints have been damaged. My mother is not good at medicine, and there are not many capable doctors in the Northern Territory. Let the acupoints be damaged. Anyway, after reaching the Mahayana stage, I can use my spiritual energy to repair them myself."

"I have a way." Jiang Li took a sip of the tea in the cup, then put it down. "The acupoints in human body are very fragile, so it is difficult to repair them after they are damaged. But there is also the legendary Tianyan Divine Acupoint in this world. In addition to making the progress of cultivation faster and the spiritual energy more smooth, the Tianyan Divine Acupoint can also repair the damage of the acupoints by itself. How many acupoints did Miss Qiutang have naturally opened?"

"Forty-eight." Zhu Qiutang was a little confused by Jiang Li's question.

"I can help Miss Qiutang solve some of her acupuncture problems, but this may involve touching her body. Is Miss Qiutang willing?" Jiang Li asked politely.

This time he really didn't want to take advantage, he just saw that she was Zhu Taozhi's sister, so he just wanted to help her.

"Touch where?" Zhu Qiutang's eyes did not show any vigilance, but he asked seriously with a slight ripple in his eyes.

"It depends on where the acupoints are blocked, Miss Zhu. Give me your hand and I'll know."

Jiang Li has a special gentleman mode. He looks particularly gentle and elegant at this moment, and his clear eyes are very convincing. Perhaps because of this, Zhu Qiutang stretched out his hand and placed it on the table.

Jiang Li stretched out his hand and placed it on her pulse, using a weak spiritual energy to probe her body for a moment. He discovered that many acupoints in Zhu Qiutang's body now contained tiny thunder powers. This meant that just by sitting here, she was enduring the pain of thunder entering her body, but her expression was so calm, presumably she had already gotten used to it.

But once you get used to it, will it stop hurting?

Jiang Li quickly found the locations of Zhu Qiutang's blocked acupoints, one on the side of the waist and the other at the base of the legs.

Zhu Qiutang knew these positions. Jiang Li showed some hesitation on his face. Zhu Qiutang glanced at him and asked, "How confident are you that you can heal my injuries?"

"Ten percent."

"Then you touch it."

"Is this... a bit..."

"Why is a man so fussy?" Zhu Qiutang laughed, so Jiang Li no longer hesitated and motioned Zhu Qiutang to stand up. He came to the side of Zhu Qiutang's waist, used his fingertips as a spiritual array, gathered spiritual energy, and then his fingertips gently touched her waist. He did not withdraw, but transferred the spiritual energy into her body to break through the blocked acupoints.

This looks difficult, and everyone can do it. However, it is particularly difficult to control the spiritual energy with the soul. There are not many people in this world who can do it. If you ask an ordinary person to open all the acupoints, Jiang Li guarantees that he is the only one who can do it in this world.

"It may take half an incense stick of time. You will feel a little numb, but it won't hurt. Just relax." Jiang Li said softly, using his fingertips as a bridge to slowly open the acupoint for her. Zhu Qiutang tilted her head back slightly and bit her lips lightly. The numbness in her waist spread to deep inside her body. She always felt a little itchy. She slightly closed her legs and turned her head to look at Jiang Li's profile, trying to see a hint of ill intentions in Jiang Li's eyes, but Jiang Li's eyes were definitely clear. When he noticed Zhu Qiutang's eyes, he raised his head and looked at Zhu Qiutang without hesitation.

"It will be fine in a while, it won't hurt." Jiang Li comforted her in a low voice.

"It's okay." Zhu Qiutang answered calmly. Sure enough, within half an incense stick of time, Jiang Li withdrew his hand. When Zhu Qiutang tried to use spiritual energy to pass through that acupoint, the acupoint was already unobstructed.

"Then the right leg..."

Jiang Li roughly pointed to the location. Zhu Qiutang hesitated for a moment, then she gently grabbed the edge of the black hip skirt with her hand and lifted the right side of the skirt up little by little, until her thighs were fully in Jiang Li's sight. Jiang Li even saw her black panties and her perky buttocks that were not completely covered by the panties. He hesitated for a moment, then swallowed back the words that there was actually no need to lift the skirt.

Chapter 154: Chapter Rainy Day

"Then please forgive me for my offense, Miss Qiutang."

Jiang Li came to Zhu Qiutang's side. He simply moved a chair and sat on it. His fingertips lightly touched the root of her right thigh, which was slightly below her panties. In his sight were Zhu Qiutang's slender legs. He always felt that it was a bit offensive to look at them now, but it was a pity not to look at them. In the end, he made a choice between being a gentleman or a hypocrite and decided to look at them as much as possible!

At this moment, Zhu Qiutang only felt numbness in her thighs. After that bit of spiritual energy flowed into her body, she felt that her body was getting more and more itchy. She couldn't help but want to close her legs a little more and bite her lips lightly. Not to mention her cheeks, even her earlobes were slightly red. If she didn't bite her lips, she was always worried that she would make some strange noises.

Fortunately, Jiang Li was still very fast this time. In less than half an incense stick of time, Jiang Li withdrew his hand, and lay down on the table with a slightly tired look. He said weakly, "Okay, wait for Miss Qiutang to circulate her spiritual energy again, and the Tianyan Divine Acupoint will automatically operate, and the thunder power will be expelled from the body soon."

Zhu Qiutang followed his instructions and circulated her spiritual energy. Sure enough, all the thunder power left over from the past heavenly thunder tribulations was expelled. The pain that had been inflicted on her for the past two years disappeared without a trace in an instant. At this moment, her body felt as refreshed as if she was soaking in a hot spring. She suddenly felt very comfortable and wanted to just lie down and have a good sleep. When she turned to look at Jiang Li, Jiang Li's expression appeared very tired.

"You..." Zhu Qiutang hesitated to speak.

"It's just some consumption of soul, don't worry about it."

"You clearly heard Taozhi say that my relationship with her is very bad, why are you still helping me?" Zhu Qiutang looked at Jiang Li's face, full of confusion.

"I always feel that you sisters should have a very good relationship. Although there may be some hidden secrets, there will always be a day when you can reconcile."

But unexpectedly, the next second Jiang Li heard Zhu Qiutang's voice, "That day will never come."
