Chapter 86 Preliminary Test
After Mr. Huang and the mysterious young man left, the martial arts masters in Juxian Manor did not compete with each other anymore, but gathered together to discuss.
The strength of this young man is truly unfathomable. He should have long enjoyed a great reputation in the martial arts world.
But the strange thing is that no one present knew his origins or his master.
It was as if he appeared out of nowhere.
A quarter of an hour later, Mr. Huang and the young man returned to the ring.
Compared with just now, Mr. Huang's face was flushed with joy at this moment. The smile on his face never disappeared, and he was also very polite to the young man.
This made everyone even more suspicious. Could it be that he really cured Mr. Huang's unspeakable secret?
After the host, Mr. Huang, came back, the conference continued. Two masters were sparring on the stage. A man with a spear on his back walked up to the young man, bowed, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, young man, which country are you from and who is your master?"
Li Yu smiled and said, "I am Li Yu, my ancestral home is Zhao State, I have no master, I only know some basic Kung Fu, I just practiced blindly on my own."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.
To be able to reach this level by just practicing blindly is truly a shame for those of them who have practiced martial arts for decades.
Could it be that he really is a one in a million martial arts genius?
At this moment, Li Yu's eyes gleamed, and he looked at the man with the spear on his back and asked, "Has this hero ever been poisoned in his early years?"
The man with the spear was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Young man, you have good eyesight. In my early years, Yang was indeed poisoned by a strange poison, which has not been cured yet. Do you know any medical skills?"
While speaking, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and cough a few times.
This strange poison had a great impact on his body. Over the past ten years, his martial arts skills had not improved but deteriorated, and this was precisely because of the influence of this poison.
Li Yu nodded and said, "I know a little bit. The poison has already penetrated deeply into your meridians and bone marrow. If it is not expelled as soon as possible, I am afraid you will only have less than three years left to live."
The middle-aged man coughed a few times and said, "Over the years, I have visited famous doctors, but they were all helpless against this poison. Three years is fine. I have lived a wonderful life."
Li Yu took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve, poured out a detoxification pill from it, and said: "Meeting is fate, this is a detoxification pill, if you believe me, you can take it and try the effect."
Everyone looked at Li Yu's sleeves with strange eyes.
They could never imagine how his seemingly light sleeves could hold so many things...
What happened just now has cast a layer of mystery over this young man. After a slight hesitation, the man with the gun took the pill from Li Yu and threw it into his mouth.
This pill is very magical. As soon as it enters the mouth, it turns into clear stream and flows into the throat.
The next moment, the middle-aged man covered his chest and started coughing violently. He coughed out clumps of black dirty blood, and his complexion quickly improved. His face visibly turned from pale to rosy.
This scene was like a miracle, shocking everyone around.
The middle-aged man himself was in disbelief. He knew his own body best. After being poisoned for so long, he had never felt so relaxed. Let alone three years. With his current body, he was confident that he could live another thirty years.
After coming to his senses, the middle-aged man showed great respect to the young man. Thinking of what he had just said, he took out a thin book from the bag behind him, handed it to Li Yu respectfully with both hands, and said, "Young man, I have no way to repay you for saving my life. If you need me in the future, I will be at your service. This book, Thirteen Spears of the Ultimate Shadow, is the unique martial arts of the Yang family. If you don't mind, please accept it."
Li Yu said: "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse..."
He took the book and put it into his sleeve.
At this moment, all the martial arts masters present had no intention of paying attention to the two people who were fighting hard on the ring.
At such a young age, he was able to subdue Old Man Huang single-handedly and take out these magical pills. It was too incredible and even beyond their comprehension.
They looked at the handsome young man and couldn't help but have some guesses in their minds.
The middle-aged man who had taken the hemostatic pill also realized something and felt a little excited. He immediately returned to his room and took out a booklet from the wooden box he carried with him. He quickly returned to the arena and handed it to Li Yu respectfully, saying, "Thank you, young man. This is the Lingyun Step Method created by Wu. I give it to you. Please don't despise it..."
Li Yu had just seen this step, which was also a very good martial art. After Li Yu accepted it, he took out a pill and gave it to him, saying, "Take it. This pill will be good for your injury."
This time, the middle-aged man threw the pill into his mouth without even thinking about it.
Then, a scene that shocked everyone appeared. After taking the pill, the knife wound on his chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye and soon disappeared.
Magic pill!
This is the real elixir!
They met the Immortal Master today!
They knew that there were immortal masters in this world. They also knew that those immortal masters could ride on clouds and mist, fly with swords, take the heads of enemies from thousands of miles away, and have a lifespan of a thousand years... However, it was generally difficult for secular people to come into contact with immortal masters, and even the noble immortal masters would not have any intersection with them.
The strong ones among them can fight against a hundred people, but to those immortal masters, killing them is like killing an ant.
The young man in front of him was obviously an immortal master.
But, Immortal Master, would you also be interested in the martial arts of mortals?
Of course, this is not what they should care about. In order to prevent theft, many martial arts masters are accustomed to carrying some secret martial arts books with them, which just happened to be used today.
Some people will never meet a master in their entire life. If a mere martial arts secret book can be exchanged for elixirs, who would not want to do that?
At once, countless figures swarmed towards Li Yu.
"Young man, look at my boxing skills!"
"Don't push, don't push, young man, my leg skills are the best in the martial arts world!"
"My ancestors once used this sword technique to dominate the martial arts world. Young man, take a look..."
…
Those martial artists who did not bring their own secret manuals, or did not have paper secret manuals, are now regretting their actions. If they had known that at this martial arts conference, there would be immortal masters offering elixirs in exchange for martial arts secret manuals, they would definitely have prepared in advance.
Some people asked the servants of Juxian Manor for paper and pen, hurried back to the room, and wrote quickly on the spot, fearing that they would miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Under the arena, Li Yu was collecting secret books and distributing pills at the same time.
These martial artists have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and none of them are without injuries. Hundreds of people, without exception, have either internal or external injuries. When it comes to health preservation, we have to look to the immortal practitioners.
These old injuries of theirs can be relieved by a low-level pill, and can be immediately cured by a first-level pill.
As the pill entered the mouth, cries of surprise were heard all around.
"My waist is healed!"
"I'm hard again!"
"It feels like my body has returned to 20 years ago..."
“Immortal Pill, this is really an elixir!”
At this time, these secular martial artists no longer had any doubts about the identity of this young man.
Apart from anything else, he put in secret manuals and took out bottles of pills from his sleeves. He was still packing them. They looked so light that they would move in the wind...
This is definitely not a human method.
Normal cultivators would not exchange elixirs for ordinary secret books. Li Yu did this for two reasons: first, because he was really interested, and second, because his Ren and Du meridians were opened and he had internal Qi in his body, so he could use these martial arts secret books.
The top five on the Trial List all have Heavenly Spiritual Veins. Without some other abilities, it would be difficult to replace them.
An old man finally couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, are you an immortal?"
Li Yu thought about it and said, "I guess so."
Although cultivators have the word "immortal" in their title, they are far from being immortals. Even those who have broken through the void and become strong cannot escape the ravages of time. Only those who have achieved the status of celestial beings can live as long as heaven and earth and be called immortals.
However, in the eyes of mortals, cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage can also be considered immortals.
The old man's eyes showed excitement. After thinking for a long time, he said boldly: "May I ask the immortal for some advice?"
“Bold!”
"How dare you be rude to an immortal!"
Before Li Yu opened his mouth, several martial artists shouted at him, even though the old man was a famous martial artist.
Li Yu waved his hand and said, "It's okay."
When everyone saw this, they stopped talking and made way. They also wanted to see what the gap was between the top masters in the martial arts world and the immortals.
"excuse me!"
The old man looked solemn, spoke in a deep voice, and suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist.
clang!
The true energy in his body surged, and the sound of a sword came from the void.
At the same time, his body disappeared from the spot, leaving several afterimages, and silver sword light poured out like a streak of silk.
The many powerful people present couldn't help but feel their hearts tighten when they saw this.
No one present could take this sword calmly.
clang.
As soon as this thought came to their mind, a crisp sound was heard in their ears.
Facing this fierce sword, the young man stood still, and just stretched out two fingers to accurately clamp the sword tip. The long sword went from being unstoppable to hovering in the air, and in an instant it went from extremely dynamic to extremely quiet...
The old man held the sword in his hand, his face pale, and after a long while, he murmured, "Is this the immortal?..."
He started learning martial arts at the age of five, and developed internal energy at the age of twenty. He has been active in the martial arts world for forty years and has rarely had any rivals. But today, facing this junior who seemed to be less than twenty years old, he was not even able to defeat him in a single move.
Li Yu retracted his fingers. With his current level of cultivation, being able to do this when facing a mortal was really nothing to be proud of.
After distributing all the pills, Li Yu had no idea how many martial arts secrets he had received.
Seeing that no one was offering the secret book anymore, he clasped his fists to everyone and said, "I came here uninvited today. I am sorry for bothering you. I will say goodbye now. The mountains are high and the roads are long. We will meet again if we are destined to..."
As soon as he finished speaking, in the shocked gazes of everyone, his figure slowly flew up, crossed the sky, and soon disappeared into the horizon.
Everyone stood there, looking in the direction where Li Yu disappeared, lost in thought for a long time.
Today's magical experience is enough for them to remember for a lifetime.
…
Kunlun Cave.
After arranging Lao Wang's funeral and exchanging a large number of martial arts secrets from those martial arts masters, Li Yu returned to the sect.
Just after entering the villa, a white shadow flew out from Zhou Zixuan's arms. Li Yu held Ling'er and rubbed its head. He didn't know if it was because of the practice, but this little guy seemed not to grow up. He ate the best pills every day, but his body size didn't change at all.
He didn't know when the scene of riding it in his dream, with women on both sides, would come true.
After chatting with Zhou Zixuan for a while, Li Yu left home again, planning to try the illusion trial again.
This time when he went out to deal with Old Wang's funeral, he unexpectedly had an unexpected gain. After the Ren and Du meridians were opened, he had gained the strength of the ninth level of Qi Refining out of thin air. Of course, he had to go to Tongtian Peak to give it a try.
“Pei Yuan…”
In the trial hall, Li Yu looked at the name of the old ancestor who had achieved the state of transformation, held the trial card in his hand, and entered the trial space.
For Li Yu, the usage of internal Qi is the same as magic power, but the internal Qi of fifty acupoints can strengthen the body more effectively than the magic power of seventy-two acupoints.
He had five spiritual veins that opened up a total of 230 acupuncture points. Add to that his internal Qi, and in terms of magic power alone, he had already surpassed those immortal cultivators who had cultivated five spiritual veins and opened up 300 acupuncture points.
This time, when facing the five monsters, Li Yu used his absolute crushing strength to almost speed through them all.
Soon, he dealt with the last giant bear and his body appeared in the hall.
When looking at the ranking list, Li Yu finally smiled.
On the trial list, the name in front of him became Chen Qingshan, and Li Yu was temporarily ranked fourth. The sect's ancestor who had achieved the state of incarnation was surpassed by him.
The Foundation Establishment Elder who was in charge of the illusion trial stood beside Li Yu and silently handed him a jade box with ten Tongmai Pills neatly placed in it.
Li Yu was very satisfied with the speed at which the reward arrived.
After he took the ten Tongmai Pills, he calmly entered the illusion trial.
However, a moment later, when Li Yu came out of the illusion trial, he found that his ranking had not changed.
At this point in our ranking, even moving up one rank has become extremely difficult.
He stopped trying and planned to go back to Ziyun Peak first to digest those martial arts secrets. He would try again when he was confident.
Seeing Li Yu leave, the foundation-building elder assured his disciples to go to the weapon refining hall to inform them that since the rankings on the trial list had changed, the trial monument outside should also be replaced with a new one...
In the past six months, the number of times the Trial Monument has been replaced is more than in the past two or three hundred years combined...
Soon, they arrived at the Equipment Refining Hall.
The disciple in charge of carving the trial monument glanced at the deacon disciple of Tongtian Peak and asked, "Has he made another breakthrough?"
The deacon nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, I'm sorry to trouble you again."
The disciple did not even ask Li Yu's ranking. He pointed to the side calmly and said, "Choose which of those trial tablets you think is suitable..."
The deacon disciple of Tongtian Peak walked to the side and saw four trial tablets neatly placed there. Li Yu's ranking on them was fourth, third, second, first...
The disciple who carved the stele said, "Why don't you take them all back with you? Then you don't have to run away next time..."
…
Purple Cloud Peak.
Li Yu was sitting in the pavilion. He had just tried to practice internal Qi, and found that the growth rate of his Qi was much faster than his magic power, and the difference was not even one or two times.
Could it be that his physique is actually more suitable for martial arts training?
I don’t know what the effect will be if I continue to practice internal Qi.
Martial arts masters are just ordinary people with a limited lifespan. It is basically impossible for them to open up all the Ren and Du meridians in a limited lifespan. No one knows what the result will be if they continue to practice Qi...
Li Yu didn't even have a reference.
At present, he can only take one step at a time. Li Yu took out a boxing manual, read two pages, and suddenly thought of something.
Since he can use the fused five elements magic power to open up his own Ren and Du meridians, can he also help others do the same?
The warrior who has opened up the Ren and Du meridians is as powerful as those at the ninth level of Qi Refining. If these two meridians can be opened up at will, wouldn't he be able to create peerless masters in large quantities?
Li Yu put down a boxing manual, waved to Zhou Zixuan who was trimming flowers in the garden, and said, "Senior Sister Zhou, come here."
Zhou Zixuan put down the scissors, walked into the pavilion, and asked Li Yu, "What's the matter?"
Li Yu patted the stone bench beside him, motioning her to sit next to him.
Zhou Zixuan sat down next to him, and Li Yu said, "Give me your hand."
Zhou Zixuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered her head, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and she slowly extended a white jade hand to Li Yu.
Senior Sister Zhou's hands were white, tender and delicate, with ten green jade-like fingers that were well-proportioned and slender. When Li Yu held her hand, the softness and smoothness of her palm made his heart flutter, and he almost forgot about the business.
Soon, he forced his attention back and used his magic power to try to help her open her Ren and Du meridians.
But that magical power just passed through her meridians without any effect.
Li Yu was confused, his operation was flawless, his own Ren and Du meridians were opened in this way. Could it be that only the magic power he cultivated could open up his own meridians?
He originally wanted to help Senior Sister Zhou become a peerless master, but it seems he was overthinking it.
Li Yu tried a few more times, but each time ended in failure. Just as he was about to let go of her hand, a faint fragrance wafted over his face, and Senior Sister Zhou's soft body leaned directly into his arms.
Her pretty face was rosy and her body was a little hot. She held Li Yu's hand tightly, buried her head in his arms, and did not dare to look at him.
Li Yu was a little dazed with the soft and fragrant body in his arms.
Sister Zhou seems to have misunderstood...
He wanted to explain, but when he looked down and saw her pretty face flushed and shy, his throat seemed to be blocked by something.
Zhou Zixuan raised her head and looked at Li Yu with eyes so tender that they seemed to drip with water, and then she slowly closed her eyes.
At this moment, what else can Li Yu say?
He said nothing, leaning in and kissing her softly.
When their lips touched, the delicate body in Li Yu's arms trembled, and she hugged him tighter. Li Yu's hands also learned how to put them where they should be when kissing.
He sighed inwardly.
He knew that if he continued like this, he would lose control sooner or later...
In the yard, Ling'er quietly covered her eyes with a pair of tiger claws.
…
Three days later.
Outside of the No. 68 Villa on Ziyun Peak, an old man was lying on a rocking chair. He tilted his head and looked over, muttering, "What happened to Li Yu? After dealing with Old Wang's funeral, he has been back to the sect for three days. Except for the day he just came back and went out for a trial, he hasn't been out for three days. What is he doing in there?"
An alchemist lying next to him said, "Maybe he's refining pills. Usually at this time of the month, alchemists are rushing to complete the sect's tasks. He's an alchemist, but he's busy taking trials all day long. He must be anxious now..."
In a room somewhere in the courtyard.
Two priceless Emei fairy clothes were thrown on the ground casually. Under the fairy clothes, there was a chest binder, white silk stockings, and a concubine's colored robe...
On the bed, there were several exquisite hairpins scattered in groups of three or two beside the pillow.
After an unknown amount of time, a woman's voice shyly said, "It's time to get up..."
Another voice said, "There is a new posture in this dual cultivation secret book. How about we try it?"
The woman said shyly: "I'll listen to you..."
After a while, the quilt, which had just calmed down, began to surge with waves again.
…
Half a day later, in the alchemy room.
Li Yu is refining the Baoyuan Pill.
Thinking back on the beautiful days, even he felt a little embarrassed.
During these three days, the two of them were simply too ridiculous. The physique of a cultivator is different from that of an ordinary person, and they had elixirs to recover. Both of them were experiencing sex for the first time, and they did not get out of bed for three whole days.
The secret book of dual cultivation that Li Yu had just obtained had been studied from beginning to end several times by them.
The improvement of cultivation through dual cultivation is actually very limited. It takes four months to open up one acupuncture point through self-cultivation. With dual cultivation, it may take three to twenty days. Among those who have a lot of dual cultivation partners, how many of them are really doing it for cultivation...
Li Yu didn't mind these ten days or so. It was mainly because of Senior Sister Zhou's body. It seemed to have some kind of magic that made him unable to stop. After three days, even a strong man like Li Yu had to refine the Baoyuan Pill himself to replenish his body.
He finally understood why his Baoyuan Dan sold so well.
In his previous life, Li Yu maintained a persona of not being interested in women and focusing on his career, which was why he was able to climb to the position of the group's second-in-command in such a short time. In this life, he planned to be more casual. If it weren't for the sensitive identity of a demon undercover agent, which made him think about the consequences of everything he did, he would probably have been shameless with Senior Sister Zhou when he was in Baiyun Temple...
According to Li Yu's original plan, he was going to wait until he solved the identity of the undercover agent of the Demonic Path and had no worries before expressing his feelings to her.
But plans can never keep up with changes, and Li Yu was ultimately unable to control himself.
He had intended to practice those martial arts, but ended up not getting out of bed for three days.
Strictly speaking, it's not that I didn't get out of bed.
They also visited the bamboo forest in the pavilion, the garden, and the fountain in the courtyard.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
Three days later, the gate of Villa No. 69 at Ziyun Peak opened. Li Yu walked out, stood at the door, and stretched his body. The three old men lying on the rocking chairs all looked at him.
Li Yu stretched his muscles and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
Alchemist Lao He glanced at him and said, " You look very ugly."
Another old man was full of envy and sighed: "It's great to be young..."
