Chapter 43 Seeing Senior Sister Again
Chapter 43 Meeting the prospective senior sister again
Seeing the approaching tide, Jin Ziming felt happy and was about to go into the sea when he suddenly saw a few arcs of electricity flashing in the distance, followed by a dull thunder.
It actually rained, the wind and rain intertwined, getting heavier and heavier, and the sky quickly darkened, as if God had granted us permission and a storm had come.
During the lightning and thunder, the waves became more and more violent. In the middle of the bay's bell mouth, dark clouds rolled in, and the water wall formed here reached a height of six feet.
The strong wind carried the huge waves like wild horses, roaring angrily. The waves rolled up a large amount of white foam, crashed into the cliffs on the north and south sides, and rushed towards the east coast where Jin Ziming was located.
Jin Ziming calmly stared at this spectacular scene formed by the power of nature, and did not wait any longer. He used a light mask, faced the surging tide, and walked away through the thorns and thorns.
Although the impact force below the sea surface is not as huge as above, due to the superposition of waves, it still requires physical strength to resist.
He soon discovered that he could not understand the true meaning of the tide by staying in the air shield, so he removed the protective shield and relied only on simple breath-holding formulas to maintain his understanding of being underwater for a long time.
Fortunately, he has now reached the stage of Foundation Establishment Dzogchen, and his strength is comparable to that of a late-stage Jindan monk, so he can hold his breath for a long time before coming out of the sea to breathe.
Wave after wave of waves hit the body, and the thrust and vibration produced seem to be similar to the "Thousand Layer Wave", but if you understand it carefully, you can feel it is different.
But what the difference was, it was hard to figure out for the moment. He simply floated to the surface and let the waves hit his body.
At this time, it becomes more difficult to maintain balance, and more mana output is required to fight with all your strength, otherwise you may be swept away by the violent wave.
At a certain moment, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind: why should he resist?
"Let him be strong!"
Jin Ziming stopped exercising and resisting, and allowed himself to be blown away by the huge waves.
To experience the force, direction and intensity of the waves, the shock of the body after being hit, and the various subtle feelings when it is ejected.
After countless ups and downs and throws in the huge waves, he gradually understood that the "Tide Sword Technique" expounded the secrets of nature that only Nascent Soul monks could come into contact with.
And this is the biggest difference between it and the "Thousand Layer Wave". The secret is more consistent with nature and is closer to the original truth.
Then he suddenly realized that his "Kun's power" was precisely because of the lack of this naturalness, and he had lost Kun's soul.
Without it, it would be impossible to show the most essential power of "Kun's Power".
"So that's it!"
He was dancing with excitement, and the huge wave seemed to tear everything apart and threw him out of the sea. However, he took the opportunity to breathe, and was immediately thrown into endless darkness and coldness.
He enjoyed the violence and impact wantonly, and carefully understood the natural mysteries revealed by the tides.
To understand the "Tide Knife Technique", to find the unnaturalness of the "Thousand Layer Wave", to explore the true meaning of "Kun's Power" that has never been discovered before.
It rolled up, fell, sank, cycled over and over again, and even collided with seafloor rocks or cliffs on both sides several times.
In the midst of pain and joy, understand the natural laws of tides and the hidden meanings they contain.
After being tortured like this for a long time, he began to use the "whip hammer" boxing technique in the sea to figure out how the tides superimposed power, and then used this to practice and understand the sword technique.
On this basis, Jin Ziming began to try to optimize the "Thousand Layer Wave" and re-integrate the "Kun's Trend".
Gradually, when I swung the knife, I felt the difference that I had experienced before more clearly.
With the arrival of dawn, the wind and rain gradually subsided, and the waves turned from violent to gentle. He returned to the shore and used his true energy to steam dry his wet clothes.
Looking at the red sun in the distance that has just jumped out of the sea, I feel like a carp jumping over a dragon's gate.
Overnight, I actually touched upon a trace of the true meaning of nature's secrets, which must be of great significance to my future practice.
Jin Ziming was in a happy mood and returned to the inn. He secretly decided to use a small fish tank during his next practice and visualize Kun again in the big waves. Maybe there would be unexpected harvests.
Then he began to build the remaining pipelines in his body. Now there are only more than fifty pipes left, and the work is about to be completed.
The time of practicing always flies by quickly, and it is almost dusk in the blink of an eye. Jin Ziming gets up to change clothes and walks towards the "North and South Restaurant".
He was walking alone in a foreign land, and he responded exactly: "Old vines and old trees, magpies and crows, small bridges and flowing water, people's homes, west wind and strong horses on the business roads, the setting sun, cultivators are at the end of the world."
Finally he arrived at the "Nanbei Restaurant" and reported Wu Hailou's name. A waiter took him up to the second floor and led him into a quiet and elegant room facing the garden.
When he opened the door, he found that Wu Hailou and Mu Yan were already inside.
"Haha, Junior Brother Jin, you are here, come on, come on, sit down and drink some tea first." Wu Hailou said with a hearty smile.
"Senior Brother Wu and Senior Sister Mu, I'm really sorry that I asked you to come here in advance to wait for me."
"Junior brother Jin, you're not late, why do you need to apologize? It's just that we didn't come early as promised." Mu Yan said with a smile.
Today she wore a light green long dress. She was gentle and fresh, slim and beautiful, and looked so graceful and charming. She was worthy of the four words "national beauty and heavenly fragrance".
If you look carefully, you will find that she has put on a little light makeup, with a slight blush on her pretty and jade-white cheeks, and her whole person has an extraordinary temperament like a hibiscus. Jin Ziming couldn't help but praise:
"Sister, you look really good today!"
Mu Yan blushed and said shyly:
"No way."
"Junior Sister Mu is well-known as a beauty among the sect, so she is naturally good-looking.
But our theme today is not that. We just want to have a few drinks with our junior brother. Firstly, we want to thank you for your help last time. Secondly, we want to cheer you up. Thirdly, we want to wish you good luck in your final exam.
Junior Sister Mu, let’s have a drink together, is that okay?”
The straightforward Wu Hailou was not interested in Fengyue and immediately brought the topic to drinking.
"Then I'll make an exception and drink some today just to be happy." Mu Yan said with a smile.
"Thank you!" Jin Ziming was quite touched by the two people's enthusiasm.
Wu Hailou called the waiter to start serving the dishes, and soon the dishes were served. After a few toasts to each other, the three of them started chatting about the world.
"Senior Brother Wu, last time I heard the conversation between you and Qin Yunhao, it seemed that the relationship between Qingyu Sect and Lingyun Sect was very bad. Is there any grudge?" Jin Ziming was a little curious.
"There's no grudge, but what can I say? Qing Yumen is like a piece of brown candy, it's sticky and makes you uncomfortable."
"Senior Brother Wu, I don't quite understand what you mean." Jin Ziming asked in confusion.
"In these years, Lingyun Sect has developed very fast, from a newcomer among the second-level sects to a recognized and most powerful top force.
This will of course infringe on the interests of some established second-level sects, especially the Qingyumen who are also in Quling City, because they were originally the top spot among the second-level sects.
It is said that the strategy jointly decided by the senior officials of Qingyumen is:
‘The Lingyun Sect has developed so quickly and so well, which shows that their strategies and tactics are correct.
In this case, we don’t need to look for any development path, just copy it. From now on, we will do whatever the Lingyun Sect does, and we will grab whatever the Lingyun Sect robs.
This strategy of sticking to the Lingyun Sect is not wrong. Even if it becomes a first-level sect one day, we can still rise to the top.'
As a result, the people from Qingyumen really implemented this instruction, and they have been fighting fiercely with us over the years.
Wherever we open a branch, they immediately go there and build a new one, and they open it on the same street or an adjacent street. Don’t you think it’s annoying?
Of course, Lingyun Sect is not a vegetarian either. Our attitude is:
‘Qing Yumen is welcome to do this. All branches should just beat him hard and to the point of death, but don’t really beat him to death.
Having such a strong team chasing after you can not only train the team's ability, but also prevent everyone from slacking off.
The disciples of the Lingyun Sect can therefore always maintain the motivation to move forward, so why not?’”
Wu Hailou explained.
"I see, it sounds like both sides are very wise.
We are at the forefront, and we can still have a sense of crisis at all times, and we are wise and calm.
Although Qingyumen's follow-up strategy may not be successful in the long run, as a staged response, it is probably very good.
At least senior brother, you feel uncomfortable. From the perspective of your opponent, it means that he is right." Jin Ziming commented with a smile.
All three of them drank a lot, and the atmosphere became more lively. Jin Ziming asked the question he wanted to know most:
"Senior Brother Wu, Senior Sister Mu, please give me some advice on what else you should pay attention to during the final exam."
Wu Hailou replied:
"There are several levels in the assessment. The first level is a group test, where about ten people are put into a group and everyone works together to do one thing.
You can either take the initiative to be the leader of the group or be an active team member. Don't remain silent or inactive.
This is what Junior Sister Mu reminded you to be proactive and motivated last time.
After that, there will be an assessment of your martial arts, soul, understanding, physical attributes, loyalty, and mental endurance, etc., and finally there will be an interview with the elders, with a total of eight passes."
"Ah, it's so complicated." Jin Ziming couldn't help but sigh.
Mu Yan reminded enthusiastically:
"Junior brother Jin, I would like to add that if you can't answer the examiner's question, don't panic, just answer 'I don't know' truthfully.
However, you must explain to him that you cannot answer because you have never been exposed to this field before.
But your self-learning ability is very strong. You can quickly learn these things you don't know and will not cause any obstacles to you in the future.
In short, according to my experience, you must be confident, motivated, not blindly obedient, have independent opinions, but also have the spirit of teamwork.”
"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister Mu, I have taken note of everything." Jin Ziming thanked her heartily.
"Junior Brother Jin, I am a disciple of the outer sect, and my cultivation is about to break through to the golden elixir realm. Once I advance, I am going to apply for the inner sect.
But you don’t have to do this. Now the sect has modified the rules and made an exception to allow foundation-building disciples to directly apply for the inner sect. The condition is that you can defeat a middle-level Jindan in the final exam."
"Oh, Senior Sister Mu, this is indeed good news for me, thank you!" Jin Ziming said happily.
"Haha, Junior Sister Mu, with your qualifications, it is easy to be promoted to Jindan and Inner Disciple. I think it won't take long to achieve it." Wu Hailou said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
