Since listening to Fan Ren's lecture on the 30th of last month, Xie Zhengyang has not left the house since he returned to the courtyard. He has been practicing swordsmanship at home, and he is the most basic yellow-level low-grade "Lihuo Sword Art".
With his current ability, there is no need to deliberately practice the "Haoran Zhengqi Jue" of Piaoxiang Academy. Without the Confucian Haoran Zhengqi Jue, this Yin Jue is no different from other Yin Jue.
The so-called Yin Jue is to induce spiritual energy to temper the physical body. The more advanced the Yin Jue is, the more spiritual energy it can induce, and the tempering of the physical body will be faster and more stable. Some Yin Jue may even have special effects.
Effects and functions, such as the "Shanhe Jue", "Zixia Jue", "Emperor Jue", "Lingyuan Jue" in the Four Books of Tianlong are relatively rare and special.
However, in order to truly exert the effect of the inducing technique, one still has to wait for the practitioner to reach the stage of returning to the void.
Because this is not just a simple division of strength. It means that the cultivator has the qualifications to ask for immortality, and also understands some mysteries of heaven and earth, and can borrow some power of heaven and earth.
Before returning to the Void Realm, the spiritual energy introduced into the body by the cultivator will only be nine training and one nourishment. That is to say, nine points of the spiritual energy introduced into the body are used to temper the body, and one part is used to turn into spiritual power for the cultivator to use in battle.
Such as releasing sword energy, casting spells, etc., all require the spiritual power transformed by this spiritual energy. Naturally, the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth that has not been refined cannot be used, because it will not obey the cultivator's command at all.
.
This is why monks in the Qi training stage can only use the simplest spells even though their bodies contain spiritual power, because most of the spiritual energy they absorb during normal practice is used to temper their bodies.
In the foundation building period, there are seven refinements and three cultivations, and you can use spells and spells that are more advanced than spells.
Only when the strength reaches the realm of returning to the virtual world, this spiritual energy will become the five trainings and five cultivations.
This is why the strength of cultivators in the Return to Void Realm is absolutely superior to those in the Foundation Building Stage and Qi Training Stage, because the aura that can be used is already a world of difference.
.
In the past few days, Xie Zhengyang devoted almost all his time to sword practice and sword mastery. He did not blindly practice spiritual power just to pursue the improvement of his realm like before, but focused on practicing sword intention and every move.
After taking action, I will think carefully and try to figure out what the predecessors thought when they created this sword move.
This approach naturally slowed down Xie Zhengyang's level of improvement a lot, but his understanding of "Lihuo Sword Jue" became much higher.
Each move has more charm than before.
The technique is not yet complete, but the charm is restrained.
Feeling this change, Xie Zhengyang was overjoyed.
After a narrow escape this time, I came to the Demon Sword Sect, and I really came to the right place.
Sheathing the sword, Xie Zhengyang ended today's practice. Although his whole body was soaked with sweat, Xie Zhengyang felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door.
With Xie Zhengyang's hearing, he could still hear clearly even if he was standing in the backyard.
However, when he heard the knock on the door, Xie Zhengyang's face showed a trace of doubt. He didn't have any friends in the Demon Sword Sect at all. He had been here at the outer sect for so many days, except for attending the class that day.
, and have never been out, so naturally they will not make any friends. Someone knocking on the door at this moment naturally makes Xie Zhengyang confused. After all, it is already late at night, and even if the Master of the Shimen wants to see him for something, he cannot come now.
After hesitating for a moment, Xie Zhengyang walked to the vestibule and opened the door.
With a "squeak" sound, Xie Zhengyang took off the wooden bolt and opened the courtyard door. He glanced outside the courtyard. At this moment, there was a man and a woman standing outside.
The man who knocked on the door just now was obviously this man. At this moment, his hand was still stretched out in the air. It seemed that because Xie Zhengyang had not opened the door for so long, he was planning to knock on the door again. And the woman standing one step behind the man , but there was a bit of arrogance on his face, and a bit of impatience in his eyebrows.
"Who are you?" Xie Zhengyang asked politely.
"Your Majesty, Gu Jiaming." The man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied, "This is Shen Li."
"Hello, what's the matter with me?" Xie Zhengyang glanced at the two of them, his expression was a little strange, but he still asked politely.
"You're a newbie, so you don't know much about the rules here." Gu Jiaming smiled slightly and started to walk into the yard, but Xie Zhengyang stopped in front of him and had no intention of giving in. This made Gu Jiaming look a little confused. Awkward.
"Why are you nagging him so much?" The woman named Shen Li standing behind Gu Jiaming said impatiently, "Listen, the courtyard you live in is protected by Senior Brother Zhao Tian of Broken Sword Peak. .If you want to live here safely, then you must pay one-third of your monthly income every month. Spirit stones or other valuable magic weapons will do. You can also move if you want. , just pay a certain amount of fees as required. But let me tell you, no matter where you move, the result will be the same."
Hearing this, Xie Zhengyang frowned slightly, and his face instantly turned cold: "What if I refuse?"
"It's okay to refuse. Anyway, I have nothing to lose, but then someone else will come to you." Shen Li said with a contemptuous look, "If someone else came to you, they wouldn't be as easy to talk to as me! You can't You have to think clearly."
"However, you don't need to pay these. There is still another way to go." Gu Jiaming suddenly smiled and rounded his face, "If you join our group, then naturally you don't have to pay. But you also need to do it. Some corresponding obligations, if we need anything here, you also need to help."
"It turned out to be a clique." Hearing this, Xie Zhengyang smiled.
He knew that this phenomenon existed everywhere, but he didn't expect that it would be so blatant here at the outer gate of the Demon Sword Sect. He thought that since he was brought here personally by the Master of the Shi Sect, no one would cause trouble for him. , but I didn’t expect that after a few days of calm, someone still came to the door.
Looking at the tacit partnership between these two people, one with a black face and one with a white face, it is obvious that this is not the first time that they have been so threatening.
However, this method obviously has no effect on Xie Zhengyang. He is not a newbie, so how could he be intimidated by these two people?
"In a word, do you want to hand me over?" Shen Lihan shouted with a stern face.
The person who answered Shen Li was Xie Zhengyang who directly closed the courtyard door and gave the other party a shut-down.
This move made Shen Li very angry. She had indeed encountered people who refused to cooperate in the outer sect for so long, but this was the first time she saw someone as arrogant as Xie Zhengyang: "Even the name You're not even a disciple, how dare you be so arrogant?"
Gu Jiaming's face on the side was also covered with frost, and his eyes became cold: "Humph, he will taste the pain."
"However, according to what Xiao San said, he seemed to have been brought by the Shi Sect Master himself." Shen Li was not as arrogant as she had shown before, and there was some doubt on her face at this moment, "If we do this, will something happen? What's the matter? Although the sect leader turns a blind eye to the division of factions among our disciples, but..."
"He is just an anonymous disciple, it's no big deal." Gu Jiaming hesitated and said uncertainly, "But we still have to report this to Senior Brother Chen and let him make a decision."
"Yeah." Shen Li nodded, and then she and Gu Jiaming left here.
A moment after the two left, a black-shirted deacon came outside Master Shi Sect's study and said in a deep voice: "Chen Song's people have already gone to visit him."
"What's the result?" The voice of Master Shi came from the study room with a hint of smile.
"As you expected, he refused." The deacon reported what he had just seen to the Shi Sect Master, "I believe Chen Song will take action soon. But in this case, will the people in the inner sect blame us? After all, This man named Xie Zhengyang seems to have an unusual identity..."
"There's no need to worry about this." Master Shi Sect smiled. He didn't expect Xie Zhengyang to be so arrogant. "Senior Xie told me that there is no need to give special care and everything will follow the rules. I originally chose this house for him. , but it took a lot of effort. The location of his courtyard is unique. The left half is on Chen Song's territory, and the right half is on Li Tian's territory. Although both of them are behind Broken Sword Peak, He has a pulse, but Zhao Feng and Xu Qiang have always been at odds with each other, so he will suffer now."
The laughter stopped abruptly in the middle, and when the voice of Master Shi Sect came out again, it became colder: "Instruct all the deacons that no one is allowed to reveal the true meaning of the anonymous disciple. Senior Xie must hone it Son, you know what to do, right?"
"yes!"
…
Even though it is a big sect, there are still factions.
For example, Zhao Feng and Xu Qiang are both disciples of the Broken Sword Peak, but they are not on the right track. Although there is no difference on the surface, they have been competing secretly in private because they both want to compete for the Broken Sword. There is one Peak Master. And since this kind of competition has extended from Broken Sword Peak to the outer sect, each has formed its own faction. Every time the outer sect recruits new disciples, people from these factions will fight against each other. compete in order to strengthen one's own momentum.
Naturally, the peak masters have heard about these behaviors, but they will not deliberately stop them.
Because when the outer sect disciples enter the inner sect, there will be a one-year cultivation period. During this year, the new inner sect disciples can get free resources and practice on the nine peaks at the same time. After one year, they can You can freely choose a mountain to join and become an official inner disciple of that mountain.
Of course, this kind of joining can also be done in advance and does not need to wait until one year later.
As for the outer sect's practice of forming cliques, when these disciples enter the inner sect, they will naturally choose the peak they are on.
Like Zhao Feng and Xu Qiang, no matter how they fight, their disciples from the outer sect will eventually join Broken Sword Peak, so the peak master of Broken Sword Peak will naturally not stop them.
Xie Zhengyang only entered the outer gate to practice in the middle. He did not join during the apprenticeship period every three years like in the past. Therefore, his courtyard residence was naturally not like the usual way for people from various factions to win over.
And chose. And when it was known that Xie Zhengyang's residence was in the Broken Sword Peak lineage, people from other factions naturally could not win over him. This was a rule and a principle to maintain stability among the factions in the outer sect.
Unless Xie Zhengyang leaves here voluntarily, then people from other factions can try to win him over.
It's just that whether it's Zhao Feng or Xu Qiang's lineage, Xie Zhengyang has not been seen leaving the house in the past few days. It was under desperation that the person in charge of the outer sect of Zhao Feng's line asked Gu Jiaming and Shen Li to visit. It's just that
Xie Zhengyang's tough attitude also completely exceeded their expectations. Not only did the door-to-door visit not achieve good results, but it became a laughing stock. Naturally, their leader became furious.
In this regard, Xie Zhengyang seemed to be indifferent and continued to do whatever he should do every day.
Anyway, if he doesn't go out, even if others want to cause trouble for him, they can't do anything about it. Because the rules of the outer sect are that even if they want to compete privately, they must obtain the consent of both parties. If they do it at will, there will be very severe punishment.
Waiting for these outer disciples.
The only thing that can be done freely is the actual training from the 21st to the 28th of every month.
Even if Xie Zhengyang is not familiar with the outer sect of Demon Sword Sect, he also knows what these people are planning. But fortunately, the strongest people in the outer sect are only at the peak of foundation building. Once they break through to the return to void stage, then
He will be taken away directly by people from the inner sect.
The Demon Sword Sect is not like the ten sects of Nanzhan Continent. The disciples of the outer sect are practicing Qi, the inner disciples are building the foundation, direct disciples or even core disciples in the early stage of returning to the virtual world, the elders of the sect in the middle and late stages of returning to the virtual world, and the elders of the sect at the peak of returning to the virtual world.
The peak master or deputy peak master, the golden elixir stage is the leader, the deputy leader or even the elder; here, the Qi training stage cannot survive in the Demon Sword Sect, and any little monster can devour the Qi training stage.
monk.
In the Demon Sword Sect, the lowest-level monks are in the foundation-building stage, and then there are the inner disciples of the Void-Returning Monk, the elders in the Golden Core stage, and the most powerful one is Xie Simin, the supreme elder with the plain hand king sword. Without Xie Simin,
The Demon Sword Sect has long been captured by the Demon King of the Seventy-Two Cave of Shiwanda Mountain.
