"Yin Yin, you have been practicing swordsmanship very hard these days. This is of course good, but you can't work too hard. You look a little bad now, so you should take a rest. Mom will ask Master Ziyun for a pair of seven-star turtles later.

, make a batch of Star Turtle Return to the Moon Cream to replenish your true energy." ** Lan said with heartache while wiping the sweat on Zhang Yin Yin's forehead.

Zhang Yin Yin shook his head and said impatiently: "Mom, you are so verbose! You and Dad used to say that you can't rely on elixirs and elixirs to improve your cultivation. Why has everything changed now? What's the big deal if you get tired? I'll practice all night

The spirit of the Three Pure Scriptures will be fine."

With that said, Zhang Yin Yin desperately struggled out of **Lan's hand, and rushed out of the house on her toes, shouting: "Yue Yao, Liu Hui, go and get ready, I have to practice Taoism after bathing!"

"

"Yin Yin, Yin Yin!" ** Lan shouted twice, but Zhang Yin Yin turned a deaf ear and disappeared into the backyard long ago. She could only sigh and spat: "This child is becoming more and more difficult to discipline!" It can be seen that Zhang Yin Yin turned a deaf ear and disappeared into the backyard.

With her cheerful smile, how could she possibly blame Zhang Yinyin at all?

** Lan got up and left the Qingxin Xiaozhu where Zhang Yin Yin lived. As soon as she got out of the hospital, she happened to see Master Jing Xiao walking towards this side.

"It's time for Yin Yin to finish practicing her sword. Let her take a rest." Master Jing Xiao said.

**Lan smiled and said: "She refuses to rest. She is now taking a bath and changing clothes so that she can practice the Three Pure Scriptures! Our precious daughter has really grown up and actually knows how to work hard. This time, Yin Yin's ranking has been greatly improved in the annual exam.

She ranked among dozens of people, but she was always at the bottom in the past few years. Thinking about asking her to practice swordsmanship for a while at that time, it was simply harder than reaching the sky."

Master Jingxiao stroked his long beard, chuckled, and said: "Yin Yintian's capital is excellent. If you know how to work hard, it is easy to improve your Taoism. Hehe, then again, how can I, the daughter of Zhang Jingxiao, be any worse?

go?"

** Lan knew that if Zhang Yin Yin started to practice the Three Pure Scriptures, it would take at least a whole night, so he followed Zhang Yin Xiao to the main hall and said as he walked: "Jing Xiao, don't you think Yin Yin Xiang has been perfect in the past two months?

Has she changed as a person? Now she is practicing almost all the time. But something is not quite right. I secretly watched her practice swordsmanship, and she was gnashing her teeth, as if she was going to have trouble with someone."

Master Jing Xiao smiled and said: "Apart from Ji Ruochen, who else would she have trouble with? Even if Ruochen's immortal body and promising future are not mentioned, the child himself is considered quite good. Judging from his past behavior, he treats Yin Yin very much.

It's rare to come back to protect us. Let them make trouble!"

** Lan was a little worried and said: "But Yin Yin has a reckless temper and doesn't know the importance of things. She has already seriously hurt Ruochen once. If she goes too far, she will definitely find trouble with Ruochen again, but don't accidentally hurt Ruochen again.

.”

Master Jingxiao smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Children fighting and fighting are called childhood sweethearts."

At dusk the next day, Ji Ruochen finished listening to Master Gu Shouzhen's teachings and was walking towards Taichang Peak alone. After turning a corner in front of him, and then around a wall, his eyes suddenly opened up, revealing the path leading to Taichang Peak.

We came to the main road of Fengsuo Bridge. When we reached the corner, Ji Ruochen's heart suddenly skipped a beat. In the past, people who made trouble for him liked to stand here, and when he turned the corner, they would suddenly shout loudly. I don't know if it was.

If he wants to come out of the blue, he should give him a blow first. Now when Ji Ruochen arrives here, he feels uneasy again. Is there someone waiting for him here?

"Ji Ruochen!" As expected, he shouted.

Ji Ruochen sighed secretly, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but be startled. It turned out that the person blocking the road was Ming Yun. Ming Yun was calm and dignified, and handled things properly. Ji Ruochen originally had a good impression of him, so why did he have to stop him today?

?

"Senior Brother Mingyun, what do you want from me?" Ji Ruochen replied politely. Since it seems that the other party is deliberately looking for trouble, then the Tao Te Sect has always convinced people with virtue, so he must be polite and get a seat first.

Let’s talk about the rationale.

"What's the matter?" Ming Yun looked extremely gloomy and said, "Even if Ming Xin has offended you, he is still a child after all. You deliberately tricked him into stealing your things and made him Qingxiu for half a year. That's all. But.

My sect's annual exams have always been done at the last minute, and the more skilled disciples have magical weapons to protect themselves, but you actually seriously injured Mingxin and even cracked the skull! Why does he have such a deep grudge against you, and how could he be so ruthless?

?”

Ji Ruochen was startled and asked: "Ming Xin was hurt so badly? I didn't use my true energy at that time, and he seemed to be fine."

Ming Yun shouted: "You didn't use your true energy? With your current skills, if you didn't use all your strength to strike, how could you break the Ming Xin body-protecting magic weapon and crack his skull? If you didn't do it deliberately, why did you do this?"

! How dare you say that you haven’t touched your true energy! That’s all, I misjudged you in the past, and today I will teach you a shameless person!”

Ji Ruochen did not answer after hearing this. He took off his backpack and placed it on the ground beside the road. Then he slowly drew out the black osmanthus sword and then walked to the opposite side of Ming Xin and said, "I thought you were a sophisticated and reasonable person.

I didn't expect that I misjudged you. It seems that you don't want to hear any explanation from me today. Anyway, since you want to teach me a lesson, even though I am not an opponent, I still have to fight to the death! Just for the sake of our friendship, I still want to

I remind Senior Brother Mingyun that after you teach me a lesson, you will not be exempted from ten years of hard labor."

Ming Yun's face was clouded with lead, and he certainly knew the consequences of teaching Ji Ruochen a lesson. Being fined with ten years of hard labor just to take advantage of the instant success was not a wise move no matter how you looked at it. Ming Yun also knew this, but when he saw Ming Xin lying in bed,

As soon as he got up, he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he wanted to give Ji Ruochen some color at all costs. At this moment, seeing Ji Ruochen solemnly display the attitude of a life-and-death battle, Mingyun also somewhat regretted his impulse, but at this moment he was

Ji Ruochen said nothing, so where could he go down the stairs?

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, another young man turned around from the corner and said with a sneer: "The disciples of Taixuan Palace are indeed worthy of their reputation. They are really humble, gentle, and fair. They never say anything when they hurt others. My own people

If you are injured, you must call for punishment. How are we ascetics different from ordinary people? What if the brain is cracked? As long as it does not damage the foundation of the Tao and does not damage the wisdom, it only takes ten days and a half to recuperate. What a big deal it can be! It is worth it.

Are you so aggressive in fighting? Huh, I heard that Ji Ruochen was injured at the hands of your Taixuan Palace disciples not just once or twice, but then why didn't Master Mingyun come out and say a fair word?"

Ming Yun's face turned red and he was immediately speechless.

Ji Ruochen turned his head and looked around, feeling a little hesitant in his heart. He originally wanted to send Mingyun to hard labor for ten years even if he was injured again, so that he could come back with some quiet days. Although the guy who came out halfway could be scolded

Ming Yun was speechless, but he also gave him a step down, which was actually equivalent to helping Ming Yun.

Ming Yun snorted and stared at the young man fiercely. The young man's mouth was sarcastic and he stared back unceremoniously. The two stared at each other for a long time, and even Ji Ruochen thought they were going to fight. When Ming Yun

Suddenly he put his sword back into its sheath, turned around and strode away without even looking back.

At this time, Ji Ruochen had already looked over the young man. He looked about the same age as himself, with a jade-like face and unusual handsomeness. But his eyes were as bright as morning stars, and there was a faint murderous aura. This young man's appearance was extremely good.

Yes, it's just that the murderous intent in his eyes was so sharp that he immediately turned the nephrite young man in the rouge and powder into a dazzling sharp sword. When Ji Ruochen looked carefully, he realized that when the murderous intent occasionally flashed in the young man's eyes, in the brightest

When it was sharp, it was slightly restrained. He knew that he must not underestimate this restraint. It was a level higher than showing off his sharp edge. Ji Ruochen was slightly shocked. He did not expect that this young man was as old as

He was almost the same. He actually had the kung fu of the Taiqing Xuansheng Realm. After looking through the entire Taoist Sect's disciples at this age, there were only a few who could reach the Xuansheng Realm. Seeing that he didn't buy into Ming Yun's account at all, Ji Ruochen felt dissatisfied with him.

His identity has been roughly figured out.

Sure enough, the young man saluted Ji Ruochen and said, "My surname is Li and my name is Xuanzhen. I am a disciple of Xuanming Palace under the rule of Zhenren Yuxu. I have met senior brother Ruochen."

Ji Ruochen hurriedly returned the gift and said: "Senior Brother Xuanzhen is young, has superb Taoism, and is well-known in the sect. I have been famous for a long time, but I just met him today."

Li Xuanzhen gave another deep bow and suddenly smiled and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say. But... I say, Brother Ruochen, the relationship between our master, Master Yuxu, and Master Ziyang is extraordinary, and most of the disciples of Xuanming Taichang and Taichang have good personal relationships.

.So we don’t need to be so polite, right? It’s troublesome, but it will only make things worse.”

Ji Ruochen was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that Li Xuanzhen was so arrogant and arrogant like other talented disciples. In addition, Li Xuanzhen's demeanor and appearance were really outstanding, so Ji Ruochen naturally had a favorable impression of him.

Li Xuanzhen added: "I heard that senior brother Ruochen got the first place in the annual examination. I originally wanted to come here to meet him today, but I didn't expect to meet Mingyun on the way. I saw that he looked wrong, so I followed him secretly. Taixuan Palace

Disciples have never been very unreasonable, I have often heard this, but I never expected that Ming Yun is also such a person. Alas, speaking of it, I lost to him in the annual exam this year. I am really ashamed."

When Ji Ruochen saw that he was open-minded and even told the humiliating things such as losing in a competition, his goodwill in his heart rose again, and he comforted him: "Winning or losing is an ordinary thing. When it comes to becoming an ascension, the Three Pure Secrets are the key."

Fundamentally, the Immortal Sword and Curses are nothing more than heresy. But... as far as I know, the Lieque Sword taught by Master Yuxuan contains the power of heaven and earth, and is quite capable of restraining the Great Five Elements Sword Art of Taixuan Palace. Why is Senior Brother Xuanzhen still not able to use it?

Enemy Mingyun?"

"Lie Que Sword?" Li Xuanzhen said with a smile: "Master Yuxu's Lie Que Sword is certainly difficult to defeat by ghosts and gods, but it requires at least the true essence of the supreme realm to be able to practice it, but I'm still far from it."

Ji Ruochen screamed and was greatly surprised. It is impossible for Master Yuxu to hide his secrets from his disciples. In this case, the several styles of the Lieque Sword he learned should have been specially created by Master Yuxu and did not require the activation of true energy.

moves.

Li Xuanzhen accompanied Ji Ruochen, talking and laughing all the way. In a blink of an eye, he was approaching the rope bridge. Looking from a distance, Taoist Yunfeng was already waiting by the rope bridge. Li Xuanzhen immediately stopped walking: "Brother Ruochen, Taoist Yunfeng is already here."

I'm waiting for you. It's time for me to go back to Xuanming Palace. To be honest, before I came to see Senior Brother Ruochen, I was quite unconvinced when I heard that Senior Brother was favored by all the real people. But when I saw him today, I was impressed by Senior Brother's demeanor and wisdom.

It's really different. The road is difficult. Although senior brother seeks enlightenment late, the time gap of these few years can be made up in the blink of an eye. If senior brother has trouble again in the future, just come to me. Others will let Taixuan Palace,

Our Xuanming Palace will not let you go."

Ji Ruochen smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xuanzhen. But as long as I don't argue with them, after they make trouble a few times, they will probably find it boring if they think about it, and they won't bother me anymore."

Li Xuanzhen laughed and said: "It's rare for Senior Brother Ruochen to be so broad-minded. It seems that even though I ruined Senior Brother Ruochen's good deeds, you won't blame me."

Ji Ruochen's heart moved, and he asked knowingly: "My good deed?"

Li Xuanzhen smiled and said: "Although Ming Yun is a little unsophisticated, his immortal sword skills are indeed very powerful. I lost to him this year, and I want to win back next year. But disciples who are punished with hard labor cannot take part in the annual examination."

After that, Li Xuanzhen bowed to Ji Ruochen and said goodbye. He would introduce Shang Qiushui to Ji Ruochen when he has time in the future. He was also a wonderful person worth meeting, and then he drifted away.

Ji Ruochen looked at Li Xuanzhen's back, and felt a chill in his heart for a moment. He suddenly thought, had he underestimated the disciples in the sect? It seems that except for disciples like Ming Xin Ming Yun who are not very sophisticated, there are many secrets hidden in the Tao Te Sect.

Disciples with great wisdom should not sit in a well and look at the sky, and underestimate the wisdom of others.

But while carefully recalling the scene just now, Ji Ruochen suddenly noticed that when Shang Qiushui was mentioned, a faint light flashed in Li Xuanzhen's eyes.

He seems to have ulterior motives.

March has passed in a hurry, winter is gone and spring is coming.

Before dawn that day, Ji Ruochen was sitting on a huge rock on the back mountain of Mogan Peak, staring at the vast sea of ​​clouds in front of him. This huge rock was like an eagle with spread wings, with most of his body sticking out of the cliff.

, about to fly. The place where Ji Ruochen was sitting was right at the beak of the giant eagle. This huge eagle beak could accommodate two people sitting side by side.

In the severe winter, the vast sea of ​​clouds surrounding Mogan Peak is as thick as lead most of the time. The sea of ​​clouds this season is different from that of the cold winter. It already looks a lot lighter and more lively. After a while, when the morning sun first appears,

, this sea of ​​clouds thousands of miles away will be plated with a layer of gold, like a sea with thin golden ripples.

Ji Ruochen accidentally discovered this treasure two months ago. Since then, whenever he comes to Taishang Daode Palace to listen to the teachings of real people, he will often arrive half an hour early, sit here for a while, and watch the sunrise.

Mountain.

At this moment, Ji Ruochen didn't attract the sun or the spiritual energy. He just sat, not thinking about anything, just sitting like that.
