Chapter 152: Steady True Tradition

As the only true disciple in the Divine Weapon Valley, who has been in the sect for the shortest time and is the youngest in age.

In two months, Li Yuan suffered several assassination attempts, but the most thrilling one was the one when he hid in the dung soup.

After that, with the protection of these four old soldiers, no assassin could get within ten feet of him, even if he was moved back from Chirong Cave.

"what!"

Swords clashed in the bamboo forest. The middle-aged man in armor was no match for Yu Jin in the first place, and he almost vomited blood when he heard Li Yuan's mocking voice.

boom!
The next moment, the one-arm pierced through the knife light, and Yu Jin landed a punch on the heavy armor. With just one punch, the middle-aged killer coughed up blood and flew backwards, falling to the ground and unable to get up.

The remaining killers were also pinned down.

"You're so stupid, you want to be a killer?"

Yu Jin stepped on the middle-aged man's head and leaned down: "It's not easy for you to change your appearance at your age, but it's a pity that you don't have a brain."

"As a wandering man in the martial arts world, he does a life-threatening business. He can change his form at this age, so he is obviously a man who dares to risk his life."

Several old soldiers killed the rest with their swords and came over. Two of them dispersed to the left and right, patrolling the surroundings and searching for other possible accomplices.

"Master Yu, this person is using the Eight Gates Sword Technique, right?"

Li Yuan walked over slowly. As a hot candidate on the "Assassination List", he was very careful.

Although he seemed to rely on Yu Jin and the other four people, in fact, he had already mastered the 'Mixed Gold Great Xiyi Hammer', 'Top Grade Liuhe Boots', 'Special Weapon Forging Hammer', 'Grandmaster Forging Hammer' and 'Pure Steel Hexagonal Hammer' in the first place.

This is his strongest combination at present. The twenty control effects take into account hammer training, fighting, assassination, escape and so on.

He was just waiting for a killer who, after going through untold hardships, finally broke through the blockade of Yu Jin and the other four, rushed in front of him, and was killed by him with a hammer.

"Yes, these people are all using the Eight Gates Sword Technique."

Yu Jin nodded: "This sword technique is widely spread and can be found in many counties, but it is difficult to tell its origin."

"There shouldn't be many masters of shapeshifting who are proficient in this sword technique?"

Li Yuan took a look at the middle-aged man in armor.

The second-order heavy armor is the standard heavy armor of the Divine Guards. It is obvious where it came from. The knife is a top-grade sharp blade, but it can be seen that it is quite shabby.

"not much."

Yu Jin cooperated with the joke and laughed:
"Hand it over to the disciples of the Supervisory Hall to find him. If he dares to assassinate a true disciple, there will be more graves for him!"

As he spoke, the force on his feet decreased slightly, and the middle-aged man was not suffocated by the mud. He struggled and coughed up blood:

"I am responsible for my own actions. If you have the guts, kill me! Kill me!"

"If you want to kill, you must kill. If you want to question, you must ask."

Li Yuan was not very proficient in interrogation, so he just asked casually:

"Whose assassin are you? How did you sneak into the inner island?"

"Li Yuan!"

The middle-aged killer looked grim: "If you can let me go, I will tell you everything!"

"I said yes, do you believe me?"

Li Yuan was speechless, and felt more and more that there was no strong connection between brain and martial arts.

"you……"

The middle-aged killer's face turned pale.

"If you dare to do it, you must dare to take responsibility. If you don't have any backbone at all, do you think you are qualified to be a killer?"

Yu Jin sneered and looked at Li Yuan again:
"Xiao Li, leave this man to me. I'll bring his belongings to you later."

"I'll leave this person to Mr. Yu. As for the things, you can keep them. It's so cold, you can buy a few gourds of wine to warm yourself up."

Li Yuan bowed.

The killer was so poor that he didn't even have the interest to search him.

Daoye Li is now extremely rich. He can eat any fish worth one hundred taels of gold. Naturally, he will not compete with the old men who have been protecting him diligently for such a small piece of spoils.

To coax an old man, you have to start with small things.

"to make!"

Yu Jin nodded and took the killer to the Supervisory Hall.

He didn't care about this, but this attitude made him very satisfied.

Who is Li Yuan?
He has dragon-shaped bones and is a forging prodigy. He is the most talented among the contemporary masters. He also has Han Chuijun as his master. In the future, he will at least be one of the five elders of the inner sect.

Comparing them with those true teachings, the difference is very obvious.

Being talented, not rebellious, and able to endure loneliness, in his opinion, is more precious than any talent.

"I guess there are quite a few inner disciples who act as assassins, right?"

Li Yuan thought to himself.

His most distinguished disciple is a part-time killer, so it is possible that his other disciples are also killers.

Qianjun Cave's generous reward this time may not be unattractive.

After all, there are thousands of disciples in the Divine Weapon Valley and many factions, and it is not just him and Ding Zhi who have grudges against each other.

Back in the house, Li Yuan heated up the fish soup, not wasting any of it. After drinking it, he felt warm all over, as if his bones had been changed and the aftereffect was still there.

"Small dragon form, dragon form, big dragon form. The book says that the best physique is the big dragon form. The only difference is because of the different forms of the body."

Li Yuan sat down and flipped through a book. The "Root Bones Theory" borrowed from the library recorded various root bones in detail.

Born with the shape of a dragon, he already has top-notch physique.

"It's just that, among the thirteen forms, there are some differences between the dragon form of ordinary beasts and the dragon form of spiritual beasts. However, that is a subdivision that only occurs after the transformation."

Since entering the Divine Weapon Valley, Li Yuan has stayed at home most of the time.

But after reading pile after pile of books, he found that they were not as closed as other disciples had guessed.

“The realm of changing form is a great realm. Even if one has cultivated to the point of opening up the meridians or even refining the internal organs, the form that is changed is still crucial.”

Li Yuan was flipping through the book.

In the theory of root bones, only a small half of the text talks about root bones, and most of the text talks about changing shape.

What is Yixing?

It is the process of changing the external form into one's own body, changing oneself, breaking the limit and expanding the limit. According to the book, there is no limit to changing the external form.

"The form-changing technique can be divided into three parts: the form of an ordinary beast, the form of a spiritual beast, and the form of the natural world. Once the form-changing technique is mastered, the martial arts can be mastered..."

"The better your physique, the smoother the path to transformation. Conversely, it will be difficult..."

"The shapes are divided into numbers. Small dragon shape is six, dragon shape is nine, and large dragon shape is thirteen..."

……

Li Yuan read it carefully, word by word. To him, this was like a kind of entertainment after practicing martial arts.

He really couldn't bear practicing martial arts all the time.

"what?"

When he turned to one of the pages, Li Yuan's heart moved and he saw the words about Zhaixing Tower.

In other words, it is the 'Ten Thousand Beasts Sitting in Oblivion, the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra'.

"In the 1,400 years of recorded history, the one who went the furthest in terms of transformation was the Taoist of Ten Thousand Beasts in Zhaixing Tower..."

"It is said that this person can change into the form of any beast, and is extraordinary and otherworldly, no longer an ordinary person, so he is called 'Dragon Demon'!"

"Unfortunately, this is the last sound. It has not been heard again for thousands of years. The latest ones are no more than ten dragons and ten elephants..."

……

"Above the hundred forms, there are ten thousand forms!"

Li Yuan was stunned.

He calculated in his mind that even if he continuously modified his physique every day, relying on the Armament Control Scroll, he would have to change his form once a month, and even then, he would still have to change his form once a month...

"Eight hundred and thirty-three years!"

Can anyone live for eight hundred years?

"God worship method!"

Many thoughts emerged in Li Yuan's mind, and he even felt a little dazed.

No wonder Wang Wenyuan is so familiar with the method of worshiping gods. I'm afraid there is a branch of the orthodox method of worshiping gods in the Zhaixing Tower!

"Many forms..."

Li Yuan, who had not yet changed his form, was somewhat unable to imagine. The last part of the root bone theory was, the author - Han Chuijun!

"It's really Old Han."

After reading for a while, Li Yuan thought of Lao Han. The tone was somewhat similar. Moreover, it seemed that no one else in Shenbing Valley was qualified to leave behind the theory of root bones.

"Old Han knows so much, it's hard for me not to suspect that he has also joined the Zhaixing Tower..."

There were many references to the 'Dragon Demon Heart Sutra' in the book, and Li Yuan could even feel the regret and pity between the lines.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan closed the book, took a string and hung the little mouse on the head of the bed, then yawned and went to sleep.

During the process of changing his muscles and bones, he consumed a lot of energy. The elixir can replenish his qi, blood and internal strength, but it cannot replenish his spirit.

……

……

A dreamless night.

Li Yuan had an excellent sleep quality. When he opened his eyes again, he felt full of energy. He stretched his muscles and felt that he seemed to be a little taller than before he went to bed yesterday.

"If you keep changing like this, won't you become like the eldest brother?"

Li Yuan was a little confused.

Although he changes his form into a non-human, Ba Wanli is obviously a rare gem among the non-humans. With a body of three meters, he has great trouble in his daily life.

Houses, beds, tables, chairs, and clothes all had to be specially made, not to mention carriages and sedan chairs for traveling. It was even difficult to find an inn to stay in.

"I need to look for martial arts like bone shrinking, but I don't think it will be very useful."

When Li Yuan put on his clothes, Yu Xiang and the others had already prepared breakfast. When they saw him come out, they were both startled.

"Master, Senior Brother, have you grown taller?"

Pan Yi covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"Seems to be?"

Yu Xiang thought about it and it seemed to be true.

"You are dazzled."

Li Yuan ignored them. After simply washing up and eating, he went out carrying a hammer and holding a sword.

Nowadays, many disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley carry weapons when they go out, so he would stand out if he came empty-handed.

Yu Jin and his four companions hid very well and no longer followed him closely. Chirong Cave changed their habits.

There were many disciples on the inner island, and many of them took the initiative to greet him along the way. Most of them were in a hurry, but their eyes were full of envy when they looked at him.

The turmoil in the Divine Weapon Valley this time made the treatment of the true disciples even more special. There were no mandatory tasks, and they were protected by shape-changing old soldiers.

In comparison, although the inner disciples didn't say anything, they couldn't help feeling a little bitter in their hearts.

Li Yuan probably had some understanding, but it was impossible for him to go down the mountain.

He is now quite famous, and who knows how many assassins will be attracted when he comes down the mountain. He does not have the habit of self-torture.

"Senior Sister Fang."

Li Yuan stopped by Jianbing Hall to return his sword. Fang Yunxiu was practicing sword in the yard.

Her movements were swift, her body moving in a flash, and her sword moving even faster. The sword shadows floated into pieces and disappeared in an instant. From a distance, one could not see her, only the sound of the sword like a cicada could be heard.

"Good swordsmanship!"

Yu Jin appeared like a ghost, looking at the sword lights in the distance, and couldn't help but marvel:

"She has actually been able to practice the Heavenly Cicada Sword to this level with just three moves? With this level of comprehension, there is a possibility that she could become a true disciple!"

"Senior Sister Fang has always worked hard, so it is reasonable for her to be promoted to the True Transmission position in the future."

Li Yuan agreed.

There are only six true disciples in Shenbing Valley now, and six vacancies, so Fang Yunxiu has a great chance.

Yu Jin glanced at him and disappeared quietly.

"Junior Brother Li, come and try your moves!"

Suddenly, he heard a light breath and felt a strong breeze on his face, but he responded happily.

Woo!
Putting the repaired long sword aside, Li Yuan stepped lightly, not retreating but moving forward.

The long-handled heavy hammer on his shoulder was dragging out a long sound of breaking through the air, and it collided with the ethereal and sharp sword light.

Zheng~
When it comes to a heavy hammer versus a long sword, Fang Yunxiu will not go head-on. With a flick of his wrist, the sword light bypasses like water and pierces Li Yuan's wrist holding the hammer.

Li Yuan responded quickly, flipped his wrist, blocked the attack with his heavy hammer, and hammered directly at Fang Yunxiu's neck.

Long handles versus short handles, heavy troops versus light troops have great advantages. Li Yuan is well aware of this and uses it very well.

Sure enough, Fang Yunxiu dodged and stabbed again, but Li Yuan kept rising and falling. No matter how fast his sword skills changed,

The main focus is a head-on confrontation.

"do not fight!"

After a few moves, Fang Yunxiu had withdrawn his sword and turned around, with a look of approval on his face: "Junior Brother Li has understood the essence of the heavy hammer!"

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Senior Sister."

Li Yuan put down the hammer.

"Every weapon has its own use. The hammer is meant to be used with force and to defeat cleverness. You are well aware of this."

Fang Yunxiu praised, but couldn't help wondering: "You can practice to such a level without leaving home, your understanding is amazing..."

She always felt that this Junior Brother Li's hammering skills were very sophisticated, and he didn't seem to lack murderous aura.

"However, if I master Qigong, the advantage of long-handled heavy weapons will not be so obvious."

Fang Yunxiu sheathed his sword.

Once Qigong is completed, the Qi reaches three feet. Naturally, the advantage of heavy troops and long weapons will not be that great. Li Yuan is very clear in his mind and a little surprised:
"Senior sister, are you going to teach me Qigong?"

"……No."

Fang Yunxiu felt depressed.

It is impossible to obtain the Qigong without the true teaching. If you want to make an exception, you must at least behead the opponent's true teaching.

But most of Qianjun Cave's true disciples were killed, and even if there were none, she would probably not be their match.

It is rare to find such a weak true disciple of Li Yuan.

"Sister has just changed her form, so there is no need to rush." ​​Li Yuan comforted her.

"You are a true disciple, so there is no need to rush."

Glancing at him, Fang Yunxiu was a little annoyed: "I heard that you never leave the house, how come you have time to come to see me today?"

"Your sword."

Li Yuan handed the sword back to Fang Yunxiu.

During these two months, he had gained a great reputation for repairing weapons, and countless fellow disciples sent their personal weapons to him.

Fang Yunxiu had just changed his famous sword when it was damaged twice, and both times he repaired it.

"Thank you!"

Fang Yunxiu drew his sword from its sheath and waved it casually a few times, the sword's light flickered and shone coldly: "If I had this sword in my hand, I wouldn't be afraid to fight you head-on."

Do you think I don't have a famous tool?

Li Yuan secretly complained in his heart, but he nodded in agreement.

It took Fang Yunxiu more than ten years to get this famous sword, and she took great care of it. Before Li Yuan left, she had already taken out silk cloth and sword oil and began to maintain it, with meticulous movements.

"Junior brother, your skills are getting better and better."

After a while, Fang Yunxiu nodded with satisfaction.

The two chatted for a few more sentences, mainly Li Yuan asking about the intelligence outside the sect. After a while, Li Yuan said goodbye.

"Junior brother, wait a minute."

Seeing Li Yuan was about to leave, Fang Yunxiu suddenly remembered something:
"Junior brother, the powerful figures of those assassin organizations are either dead or injured, and the rest are no threat to you..."

At this point, she paused slightly:
"True disciples must set an example for the sect. If you stay indoors during such a turbulent time, I'm afraid some people will be dissatisfied."

"Oh?"

Seeing her embarrassment, Li Yuan understood something, but he didn't care much and just raised his hammer:
"Repairing weapons for free for fellow disciples, isn't that considered a role model?"
