Chapter 488: August 8

Chapter 488: August 2th (Update )

The library in Zhaixing Tower is not as large as that in Longhu Temple, but the books in it are numerous and diverse.

Li Yuan stayed there for a whole day. In the evening, he returned to his room with several thick stacks of ancient scrolls and studied them carefully.

What he borrowed were mainly the handwritten letters left by Taoist Dragon Demon.

Contrary to expectations, the founder of Zhaixing Tower left behind a large number of classics, so many that more than a dozen bookshelves could not accommodate them.

And it is very diverse, covering not only anatomy, herbal medicine, mining, but also classics, history, and collections of literature.

What Li Yuan borrowed was only a part of it, which can be roughly divided into the theory of standing meditation, the theory of qi and blood, the theory of internal strength, the theory of true qi, and the theory of changing forms.

"This is the weight of a supreme grandmaster."

Under the oil lamp, Li Yuan held an ancient scroll in his hand. There were hundreds of volumes on the table, and this was only a part of them.

Taoist Dragon Demon is the martial arts master who has left behind the most works that Li Yuan has ever seen, bar none.

It is also an extremely rare straightforward narrative, without many of the mysterious words and sentences found in most martial arts texts.

Li Yuan was so absorbed in watching it that he even felt like clapping his hands in amazement at the exquisite parts. He regretted that he had only seen it now.

It was already the second half of the night, and I almost missed the nightly practice that I had done almost without interruption in my ten years of martial arts training.

"There is no false reputation under a great name. This is not a secret realm of martial arts, but it is better than divine skills. It is like the general outline of martial arts!"

Reluctantly putting down the ancient scroll in his hand, Li Yuan admired this supreme grandmaster to the highest degree.

He didn't read much, mainly studying it word by word.

But by comparing just those few volumes, he was able to realize the detours he had taken before, as well as the areas where his cultivation was not thorough.

"This martial arts outline is actually displayed in the outer building for everyone to see."

Li Yuan relaxed his muscles and stood up, still immersed in the contents of the book. After a long time, he focused his mind as he practiced the standing meditation.

But after daily standing meditation and strengthening muscles and bones, Li Yuan, who had not slept for a day and a night, was still not sleepy and continued reading a book all day.

By the evening, he really couldn't bear it anymore, so he slept for only two hours. Then he got up, stood in a posture, took pills, and bathed.
Then read a book.

For the next few days, Li Yuan hardly left the house. He was so obsessed with the subject that even Han Chuijun and Wang Wenyuan, who had come to look for him, were a little surprised.

Han Chuijun was more curious about this. After flipping through several books that Li Yuan had read, he also noticed their wonderfulness and began to study them as if they had found a treasure.

Wang Wenyuan originally wanted to ask Li Yuan when he would climb the tower, but before he could open his mouth, he was driven out by the master and disciple. He could only shake his head and leave.

……

Woohoo~
The upper floors of the Bafang Tower.

There seemed to be a whistling wind in the empty hall. In the open space, Qin Shixian, dressed in a neat white robe, stood tall, holding a gun in one hand.

Her gaze, spirit, and soul were all focused on the spear. Under the infusion of her mind, the spear burst into a dazzling purple light.

"The three elements merge into one, the essence, energy and spirit flow harmoniously and change freely. The body is the spirit and the spirit is the spirit. Only when one has cultivated the martial arts to this level can he be called a grandmaster."

A voice that was neither loud nor low echoed as Qin Yun slowly stood up. As he stood up and paced, his powerful true energy spread out layer by layer.

The hall also changed accordingly, extending and expanding upwards, left and right, front and back. Soon, an open space ten miles wide had expanded outside the original hall.

This is the evolution of the true energy contained in the Eight Directions Tower, but it is also the result of Qin Yun's mind.

"The three elements merge into one, and the skill is close to a law. Wherever the mind moves, the divine realm follows, so there is an unfathomable power!"

As he spoke, Qin Yun stopped.

He only took seven steps, and the original space had undergone earth-shaking changes. Outside the hall was a wilderness, and outside the wilderness were mountains and rivers.

The wooden planks above my head had disappeared, replaced by a blue sky with a scorching sun hanging high above, casting its rays.

With every step, the space changes, and under the coverage of the divine realm, it is as if the sky has changed.

Qin Shixian seemed unaware, just standing there with the spear in his hand, as if there was only a spear in his hand and a spear in his heart, no outsiders, and no external appearance.

"You have been so careless in your journey along the Three Yuan Road. It's my fault that I didn't make proper arrangements back then. Fortunately, I can correct it!"

When Qin Yun said this, Qin Shixian finally looked up, but not at his old man, but at the sky.

The sun hanging high in the sky trembled and then fell down, with a blazing tail flame.
Rolling in like a meteor.

Click!

A few moments later, the fireball exploded, the flames flew down, and Qin Shixian heard the sound of rushing water.

"This is?"

Qin Shixian's eyelids twitched.

After the sun spirit image fell into the air and cracked, a light like a water knife rolled out from it, and then,
She saw a familiar figure.

He has silver hair and a black robe. He is tall and has long arms. He has deep eyes and a black dragon pattern between his eyebrows. He holds a six-foot long sword in his hand. The blade is snow-white and has dragon-like patterns on it.

"Wan Zhuliu?!"

Qin Shixian's expression was moved, and his spear could not help but tremble. He looked at his old man:
"Do you also know the Demon Subduing Dragon Sword?"

Boom~
As soon as she thought about it, there seemed to be a thunderbolt in the sky, and the swordsman transformed by the Great Sun Spirit had already slashed down with his sword.

The extremely sharp sword reached directly between the eyebrows, and it was the first sword to subdue demons.

"You're still attacking?"

Qin Shixian groaned, stood up with his gun in hand, and a wave of purple light struck the demon-suppressing dragon shadow coming down from above.

In an instant, there was only the sound of thunder, the sound of swords and guns clashing like the tide, and a large area of ​​open space was destroyed by the strong force.

After a few breaths, the battlefield where the two men fought had spread from an area of ​​a few miles to an area of ​​a hundred miles. Wherever they passed, the wind and clouds dispersed, and the ground cracked and the mountains collapsed.

"Who taught you to be distracted during a fight?"

Qin Yun squinted his eyes and watched, while pointing out Qin Shixian's flaws and mistakes from time to time. The latter was distracted by this and fell into a disadvantage several times.

"Let's talk about it after the fight!"

Qin Shixian shouted angrily. The old man was trying to distract her. "Battles are changing rapidly. If you don't even have this ability, what can you use to fight against Wan Zhuliu?"

Qin Yun naturally wouldn't listen to her. He not only pointed out the mistakes and omissions, but also intensified the attack. Perhaps it was not enough, so he counted his fingers and pointed again.

hum~
In the vast sky, another big sun appeared, shining brightly.

"you?!"

Qin Shixian felt a chill on his back and took a quick look, only to see another huge sun image descending from the sky.

Just like before, it broke in mid-air.

A burly man strode out and let out a long roar. His blood and energy rose like real flames, brighter than when he turned into the sun just now.

"Blood Worship Vajra?!"

The giant man descended from the sky without any moves, but he came across like a meteor with his surging blood and energy.

Fighting alone against the Demon-Subduing Dragon God, Qin Shixian could still hold on, but when the two of them joined forces, they were immediately put at an absolute disadvantage.

Now, facing Qin Yun's instructions, she was speechless, but became more and more shocked.

This was also the first time she saw the old man take action...

"what!"

After a moment, Qin Shixian couldn't help but yelled, because another huge sun image rose in the sky.

"do not fight!"

Qin Shixian thrust out his spear and then retracted it, forcing the two men to retreat. He wanted to escape from the battle, but how could he escape?
The third Great Sun Spirit fell from the sky, and a thin figure, as thin as a skeleton, suddenly appeared.

The sword energy came out from his palm and almost cut her neck.

boom!
boom!
The earth shook and the mountains trembled, and strong winds exploded.

Looking at Qin Shixian who was running around all the time, Qin Yun nodded with satisfaction. Without this intensity, how could it be considered as tempering?
"Which of the real strong men fought one-on-one?"

Qin Yun looked at her with a smile, his voice neither too loud nor too low, just loud enough for her to hear:

"Back then, I fought twelve or thirteen people at once."

"..."

Qin Shixian no longer had the energy to respond. Surrounded by the three spiritual beings, she concentrated her mind and used all her strength to resist.

But she only lasted half an hour before she was slashed in the face by a knife. A biting chill instantly spread throughout her body, causing her heart to tremble.

"stop."

Qin Yun's voice sounded at the right time.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the three spiritual figures disappeared instantly, as if they had never appeared.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

Qin Shixian gasped heavily. This was different from the trial. It was too real. For a moment, she almost thought she was going to die.

It took her a while to come back to her senses. She looked up at the sky and saw a big sun hanging high in the sky.

"You, how many spiritual aspects have you cultivated?"

Qin Shixian couldn't hide his shock.

What is spiritual appearance?
It is the combination of all the martial arts a warrior has learned throughout his life. Although there are ways to practice multiple martial arts at the same time, she has never heard of anyone in the world who can practice several of them and reach this level.

"More than four."

Qin Yun replied casually, but more of it was guidance and reprimand for Qin Shixian's mistakes in this battle, as well as the shortcomings of her learning.

"Before you act, don't use your brain. After you act, look ahead and behind."

Qin Yun said mercilessly: "Among the great masters I have seen, you are at most at the middle level."

Qin Shixian was dissatisfied, but he had no way to refute it, so he could only accept it sullenly and asked again:

"What about Wan Zhuliu?"

"Back then, it was considered top-notch."

Qin Yun mercilessly broke her luck: "Same age, same realm, fight a hundred times, Wan Zhuliu will kill you ninety-nine times!"

"..."

This time, Qin Shixian didn't even feel unconvinced. She had fought with her sword more than a hundred times before, but never won once.

"What about another time?"

After suffering so many setbacks, Qin Shixian became much calmer.

"Don't say everything, leave room for others."

Seeing his granddaughter's face flushed, Qin Yun stopped talking, coughed lightly, and asked Li Yuan.

"Humph!"

Qin Shixian snorted coldly, but still answered:

"That kid hasn't come in since he first climbed the tower. I heard from Elder Wang that he was reading the master's handwriting a few days ago. After that, he stayed indoors. When he occasionally came out, he stayed in the library..."

"Master's handwriting?"

Qin Yun showed approval: "A few days ago, I was thinking of asking you to take him to the library..."

"You didn't say that."

Qin Shixian glanced at him.

“I forgot… eh?”

Qin Yun said, his expression changed, he counted on his fingers:
"Today is the eighth day of the eighth month?"
