In the small courtyard of the bamboo house, Li Xiuyuan and Wei Qing had already opened up their stance.

Wei Qing hugged him and said, "Senior brother, please give me some advice!"

Having said that, the Master who was sitting under the eaves reading a book knew that Wei Qing was going to be beaten again today!

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Qing rushed forward and attacked. His thin and frail body burst out with astonishing fighting power. He took a step forward and clenched his fist to hit Li Xiuyuan's chest.

The attack is simple and direct, and the fist is fierce and powerful, as if all the strength of the body has been poured into it.

This punch is the Changquan that every student in the academy has practiced. The boxing technique is not profound, it is just used to strengthen the body of the disciples, and the moves are naturally simple.

Li Xiuyuan smiled, because his purpose was to temper Wei Qing's will, and there was no suspense in this battle.

When Wei Qing's fist was about to arrive, he took a step back and twisted around, his thin body looking very agile.

The fist grazed Li Xiuyuan's clothes and came out without hurting him at all. Before Wei Qing could retract his fist, Li Xiuyuan slapped Wei Qing's forearm, and at the same time raised his knee slightly, hitting him in the abdomen.

Wei Qing groaned, resisting the pain in his body, made a mistake in his steps, and hurriedly retreated, narrowly avoiding Li Xiuyuan's third blow.

"That's right, come on!" Li Xiuyuan was surprised. He didn't expect that this guy with only the fifth level of Qi Gathering actually knew how he would deal with him next, and his plan to defeat him in one fell swoop was disrupted.

But this small mistake did not affect the overall situation. As soon as Li Xiuyuan's idea changed, he followed Wei Qing like a shadow and attacked again while Wei Qing was breathing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved his front foot, Wei Qing, who was retreating, suddenly rushed over. Two figures quickly approached, and Li Xiuyuan saw the unyielding and high fighting spirit in Wei Qing's eyes.

Wei Qing's fists were clenched and he punched again.

"Not bad!" The master under the eaves shouted, cheering for Wei Qing.

Looking at Qingwei, Li Xiuyuan laughed. Ruoyuan was so angry that he stopped dodging and also greeted him with a long fist.

With two soft bangs, Wei Qingfei came out of the hospital. Li Xiuyuan swayed and looked at him with a smile: "Are you planning to hide away?"

"Senior brother, I'm not looking for you anymore!" Wei Qing felt very uncomfortable. He had tried his best, but he still couldn't get any benefit from Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Are you scared now? Remember that you have to be more ruthless than your opponent in the future."

"Haha, don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely remember it." Wei Qing jumped into the courtyard and ran under the eaves.

"You've grown some more today! I'll take you to the mountains tomorrow to see if you can hunt down some wild animals."

The master looked at Wei Qing and smiled and said, the little guy's progress was very fast, which made him very happy. Seeing that he was about to leave this world, he didn't expect to have two good apprentices in a row.

"Teacher! If we put these Ganoderma lucidum into the medicinal wine, the medicine will be even more powerful next year. You can't leave me and Wei Qing alone."

While the master was thinking about it, Li Xiuyuan had already sat over.

"How is it? Is the injury on your hand healed?" The master looked at him and asked with a smile.

Li Xiuyuan waved his left arm and said with a smile: "It seems to be more powerful than before. Speaking of that teacher, will I become a monster?"

"Is it possible? You will become a spider spirit from now on!"

Master looked at Wei Qing and smiled and said: "Before you came up the mountain, your senior brother was injured by a spider monster on the back mountain on his left arm. From now on, before you reach Nascent Soul in cultivation, stay away from the monsters on the back mountain."

"Monster?" Wei Qing looked at Li Xiuyuan and laughed: "Brother, even if you become a monster, I will not dislike you."

Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and shook his head and said with a smile: "You've been shouting tired in less than half an hour. I'll take you to the back mountain tomorrow to see if you can come back alive!"

When Wei Qing heard this, he was so frightened that he turned to look at the Master and asked: "Teacher, you won't let me go fight monsters now!"

The master looked at him and smiled and said: "No, you will go with me to chop wood tomorrow and come back when it snows. I will teach you to read by the way. There is nothing else in this academy, but there are many books."

When Wei Qing heard this, he looked at Li Xiuyuan and shouted: "Brother, I came to the academy to practice, not to chop firewood."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I spend every morning chopping firewood in the kitchen and backyard of the academy. Do you want me to switch with you? You go chop wood while I go play in the mountains with the teacher?"

When Wei Qing heard this, he turned to look at the Master and asked, "Teacher, are you chopping firewood in the academy?"

The master nodded and said with a smile: "Your senior brother has been chopping firewood for a year, how about you trade with him?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Qing shook his head and replied, "I'd better go into the mountains with the teacher to chop firewood."

Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled and said: "Practice well with the teacher. When you come back in winter, you won't be at the eighth level of Qi Gathering. See how I deal with you."

When Wei Qing heard this, he was so frightened that he hid behind the master.

The master patted his shoulder gently and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. Isn't it that you came to the academy to practice so that one day you can be more powerful than your senior brother?"

Wei Qing thought for a while, nodded and replied: "But I can't beat senior brother now."

Li Xiuyuan was angry and scolded with a smile: "Won't you suffer more? Go to the mountains and cut more firewood. I will be waiting to burn the firewood you cut this winter."

Wei Qing looked at Li Xiuyuan and thought for a while, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't worry, I will practice well with my teacher."

"Remember, you are not practicing for the teacher or your senior brother! It is for yourself!"

Li Xiuyuan looked at him and shook his head, wondering why he didn't look the same as he did in previous years.

...

The Master spent a simple Mid-Autumn Festival with Li Xiuyuan in the academy. The next day, before Li Xiuyuan finished chopping firewood, he took Wei Qing and went into the back mountain.

For Master, having already seen hope, he naturally wanted to go into the mountains to practice quietly, hoping to realize the opportunity for ascension.

In Li Xiuyuan's view, whether the Master is here or not, the trajectory of his practice will not change.

He chops firewood in the kitchen and backyard, practices swordsmanship in the small courtyard of the bamboo house, and goes back to his house at night to practice the Taixuan Sutra. This is his current life.

However, things in the world never go as he wants, and there are always some people who want to cause trouble for him.

Li Xiuyuan was about to leave after chopping firewood that day, but was stopped by a group of students from the academy.

"What do you want to do?" Li Xiuyuan looked at the visitor and asked coldly.

He is not a student of the academy, so naturally he will not buy into the accounts of these disciples from the kingdom's aristocratic families.

"Hey! Aren't you very good? Let's have a test!" The visitor looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, ignored him, and planned to take a detour.

"Young Master Qin, this person is so disrespectful." Some students expressed their grievances for Qin Yiyuan.

"Say it!" Qin Yiyuan sneered: "You make a condition, as long as you accept my challenge." Qin Yiyuan looked at Li Xiuyuan and said coldly.

"Not interested!" Li Xiuyuan walked towards the master's bamboo house.

Qin Yiyuan couldn't wait to shout: "Little handyman, don't say that I won't give you a chance, as long as you agree to compete with me! Otherwise... hehe hehe..."

Those few hums were meaningful, and the smell of threat arose spontaneously.

After saying that, Qin Yiyuan looked at the group of students behind him and said with a smile: "How about it? I told him that he doesn't dare to compete with me anymore."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head slowly, turned around and looked at Qin Yiyuan with a heartbroken look.

"What do you want to be a cadre?" Qin Yiyuan felt guilty, thinking that Li Xiuyuan knew about the bandits at the foot of the mountain?

This made him feel a little unsure. After all, Xiaoyun warned him not to provoke Li Xiuyuan when she left, which made him feel a little shadowed.

Today, he had no choice but to fight with a group of students from the Tianfeng Kingdom who didn't know the inside story, so he came to trouble Li Xiuyuan.

"You are sick!" Li Xiuyuan sighed.

The onlookers were stunned, Qin Yiyuan was stunned, and thought, why is he sick?

"What do you mean?" Qin Yiyuan asked fiercely.

"Don't understand? Come and let me teach you!" Li Xiuyuan looked kind-hearted and said seductively: "Let me ask you, what kind of cultivation are you? And I know how to cultivate? Are you still shameless?"

"You have some eyesight!" Qin Yiyuan's tail almost reached the sky.

Li Xiuyuan smiled, thinking that since you came to challenge me in such a big way, you naturally thought that I would not dare to agree to you, but why should I agree to you? Is there any benefit?

"There are many people with the same cultivation level as you in the academy, why don't you dare to challenge?" Li Xiuyuan asked again.

"I won't bully you!" Qin Yishan snorted, "I won't bully the small! Let's just compare our archery skills. Didn't you say that your archery skills are unique in the Tianfeng Kingdom?"

Li Xiuyuan suddenly realized, looked at Qin Yishan and said speechlessly: "Are you shameless? From the moment Xiaoyun took the second couplet from me, I have no relationship with your Tianfeng Kingdom for a penny!"

"What does it matter or not?" Qin Yishan was furious, going around and around being confused by Li Xiuyuan, not knowing what he was going to say.

"You can't understand such a simple thing, are you a pig?"

Li Xiuyuan frowned and patiently explained: "You and I are not the same disciples, nor are we of the same cultivation level, nor are we from the same country. Why should I compete with you? What good do I have?"

Qin Yishan's body trembled and his face turned pale.

Logically speaking, Li Xiuyuan has nothing to do with the Tianfeng Kingdom. If this matter is brought to the attention of the Empress, she may not be punished severely.

It's just that he was pushed to the stage by a group of ignorant students, and he was already riding a tiger.

Sensing that something was wrong with Qin Yishan's state, a person who followed him quickly stepped forward and said, "Young Master Qin, this kid has sharp teeth and a sharp tongue. Don't show off his bravery with words. Just ask him if he dares to compete."

"Well!" Qin Yiyuan regained his composure and said angrily: "Li Xiuyuan, don't say anything. If you don't dare to compete with me today, why don't you get out of the academy?"

Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed coldly, he clenched his fist and said, "Is the dean a relative of yours?"

Qin Yiyuan said contemptuously: "It's three o'clock tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you in the square! As long as you can beat me, I will lose you a thousand gold coins. If you lose, get out of the academy!"

Hearing what he said, Li Xiuyuan immediately understood that this family was just like the bandits at the bottom of the mountain, sending money to him. This was a good thing!

This is why he brought people here, these people are here to support the scene.

Qin Yiyuan looked at Li Xiuyuan with contempt, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Everyone, this little handyman is said to have reached the fifth level of the golden elixir. I am looking forward to it?"

"The fifth level of the Golden Core Realm is such a high level!" A group of people burst into laughter. Who among the students present is not at the Nascent Soul Realm? The lowest level is the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm.

"Then prepare the gold coins. I hope you won't cry when the time comes!"

If there are gold coins, Li Xiuyuan will naturally not let them go. Is this worth more than the twelve horses? It is estimated that he can spend ten or eight years, although he is not short of money right now.

Li Xiuyuan looked back at him, smiled, turned and walked forward.

What a good person, knowing that he has to work hard chopping firewood in the kitchen, he came here to give him money, even if he didn't even think about it!

Qin Yiyuan looked at his back and said: "Little handyman, you have to roll up your quilt tomorrow and prepare to get out of the academy. Don't say we are unkind!"

"I made a note of it. Prepare your gold coins. I need to get the money before the competition!" Li Xiuyuan turned around and said seriously. He didn't believe anyone since the master was not around.
Chapter completed!
