Martial arts

  After roughly going through this technique, Xu Zi Qing finally realized how lucky he had been previously.

  Before knowing the spiritual source, the spiritual energy in the elixir field is only temporarily stored. Although this spiritual energy seems to be gentle, it actually does not match with the physical body and has not been domesticated. If he is slightly careless, it will explode the elixir field, and his cultivation will be completely lost. Fortunately, he just entered meditation for the first time and stirred up this trouble, so nothing happened. But next time, it's absolutely impossible.

  He let out a breath of relief, and only then did Xu Ziqing have the chance to examine his own body. He was originally just a half-grown youth, with hair that hadn't even grown in fully yet, so his stature wasn't very tall either. But after this one session of meditation, his entire person seemed to have lengthened by an inch or two, and his skin was white and lustrous, shining like jade, even more delicate than the skin he had as a youth.

  According to the foundation recorded in "Huacao Jue", the dirt on his body surface before was the impurities inside, which were expelled with the entry of spiritual energy. Later, when he continued to practice, the impurities would continue to be expelled until the foundation was completed, and only then could it be said that he had thoroughly "cleansed" himself. Xu Ziqing thought that this cultivation process of increasing one's accomplishments was a process of washing oneself inside and out "clean".

  Cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you'll retreat. Since it's already late and can't go out to do things, I might as well continue cultivating for a while. Xu Ziqing then got back on bed, sat cross-legged, and entered meditation.

  Later, at the request of He Lao, Xu Ziqing followed him to do things in Lingtian during the day, listening to his teachings while being responsible for helping out. At night, he returned to cultivate, making an effort to absorb spiritual energy and fill up his dantian. The days passed quickly, and Xu Ziqing enjoyed himself, not feeling bored at all.

  However, the daily practice time is only half or even less than that of those who do not need to do chores with high qualifications. Xu Ziqing also knows that his progress must be slower than many of the same period, but as long as he has a moment of leisure, he will practice diligently and unremittingly. After a while, it can also be considered a small gain.

  He Lao didn't know how Xu Ziqing's Dantian was filled now, he had taught the method and considered it his duty, but what really taught Xu Ziqing was the skill of serving Lingcao. His lifespan had already exceeded 170 years, and in less than 30 years, he would decline, so he must cultivate a loyal successor to the Xu family.

  Moreover, precisely because Xuzi Qing was a member of the Xu family, he became even more unreserved. After all, Xuzi Qing had been listed in the clan's genealogy, and although his status wasn't high, he still felt a sense of belonging to the clan. The Xu family's honor and shame were shared together. Although Xuzi Qing didn't truly have any affection for the Xu family as Old Man He thought, he still showed great respect towards Old Man He himself and didn't mind being a miscellaneous servant in Lingcao Garden, cultivating alongside him while accompanying the spiritual grass.

  Time flies like water, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

  On this day, Xu Ziqing was half squatting on the ground, stretching out his hand to gently flatten a slender spiritual grass leaf. Suddenly, a furious roar like thunder exploded in the air, shocking him so much that his brain buzzed and he almost tore the grass leaf into two pieces.

  "Xu Zhengtian, you Xu family have cheated people too much!"

  This furious roar was unknown to anyone, and it contained a lot of spiritual energy. Not only did Xu Ziqing suffer a disaster, but all the young sons of the Xu family who were below the seventh layer of Qi refining turned pale and panicked. Those with poor luck who were entering the state of calm were also suddenly awakened by this roar, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

  Xu Ziqing had the protection of the spiritual grass array in the Hundred Herb Garden, and also had Old He's timely reaction to grab his wrist and lend a hand, so he was only startled. But immediately after that, the thunder in the sky suddenly rang out continuously, one sound after another, deafening him, making him dizzy and unable to control himself.

  But then Old Man He asked in doubt: "Who is this person fighting with the master of the house?"

  Just then, another thick voice echoed through the sky: "Tian Ting, I respect you as the master of the Tian family and let you speak out for three points. It's not that I'm afraid of you. You're being stubborn here, do you think Xu Zhengtian is an easy target?"

  Tian Heng retorted without showing any weakness: "You want to see my true face? Very well, let's see who's the real deal!"

  Xu Zhentian also said: "You don't know what's good for you, you don't know what it means! My Xu family is not a place for you to show off your military power!"

  Both were masters of the foundation period, and their battle was also earth-shattering. Earlier, Tian Hong had made a loud thunderclap, and afterwards, Xu Zhengtian transformed into a brilliant light, with the two of them coming and going, just like two angry dragons overturning the river, causing the spiritual energy in the entire Xu family to boil up like boiling water.

  For a moment, no one dared to attract spiritual energy again. If they were to attract the spells of two powerful masters, wouldn't that be asking for trouble and putting their own lives in danger?

  Xu Ziqing looked up and saw two tiny figures standing amidst the howling wind and thunder, confronting each other. Within a radius of ten miles, thunder boomed and lightning flashed, with gusts of strong winds blowing fiercely. Even birds probably couldn't fly half a step into the sky.

  "This... is the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator?" He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

  He Lao Tou also looked up at the two of them: "The master is still considerate of the people from the Zong family, so this battle is being held in the high sky thousands of miles away. We can see the magical aura filling the sky here without being affected by the shockwaves because the master has controlled it."

  Xu Ziqing asked: "Since both of you are high-ranking cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, I wonder which one will emerge victorious?"

  He Lao didn't evade the question: "Naturally, the family head has an advantage. Even if they are at the same level, there is still a distinction between high and low. Tian Jia's Tian Ying and the family head were people of the same era, but Tian Ying's innate talent was inferior to that of the family head. Now, the family head had already been in the middle period of foundation building for twenty years, while Tian Ying had only just entered the middle period last year. The family head's foundation is deeper than Tian Ying's, and when it comes to fighting, the rhythm is also controlled by the family head."

  Xu Ziqing nodded secretly, and indeed it was the case. Tian Ting's intention was to cause destruction in the Xu family, while the master wanted to protect the Xu family. In the end, they were still entangled in a fight that couldn't affect the Xu family, which was of course the result of the master's efforts.

  The aerial battle was far from over, and the technique that Tian Ting had cultivated was the art of manipulating lightning. He conjured up a spectacular display of thunder and lightning, with flashes illuminating the sky and thunderclaps shaking the air. Meanwhile, Xu Zhengtian, the master of the house, grasped the winds and thunders in his hands, his every move radiating an aura that churned and surged, barely containing the lightning within the clouds, not a single spark escaping.

  It's not easy to block the thunder, and it may be even more difficult to completely block the thunder. Xu Zhengtian's winning momentum is not only clear to He Lao, but also to the Xu family members with higher cultivation levels, who have all noticed it.

  Jiǔ chí bù xià, tián gěng dào dǐ bú shì líng lì wú jìn, jiàn jiàn yǐ jīng lóu chū shuāi wēi zhī xiàng, xú zhèng tiān zé yóu rèn yǒu yú, měng rán jiān shuāng bì huī chū yī tiáo huǒ xiàn, jiāng tián gěng tuán tuán wéi zhōu. Tián gěng yī gè bù xiǎo xīn, bèi huǒ xiàn dǎ zhòng xiōng kǒu, yě shì "wā" yī shēng tǔ kǒu xuè chū lái, wǎng wài miàn dào jiǎo chū qù, zhōng yú xǐ xǐ zài luò dì qián wěn zhù!

  "Xu Zhengtian, you...you're really something!" Tian Qing choked with rage, and swung his palm downwards - a powerful pressure descended from the air, causing the cultivators to stumble.

  Xu Zhengtian's eyes widened in anger: "Tian Kuang, you dare!"

  Tian Ting burst out laughing: "What is Tian Ting afraid of? You can slowly clean up the mess and go!" After finishing, he rose into the wind and flew away to a distant place.

  Only one sentence of arrogant words was left behind: "This year when the spring plowing begins, I, Tian Chao, will definitely make you all look good!"

  Xu Zhengtian didn't have time to react, and Tian Ting was extremely vicious. Before leaving, he used 10% of his spiritual power to strike the unprotected eastern main courtyard of Fei Xue Mountain, which wasn't far away. The people living there were all highly talented young cultivators, but at this moment, they had no ability to defend themselves. How could they escape from the full force of a foundation-building cultivator? If there was any loss, the Xu family would certainly face a situation where the old and new generations couldn't coexist in the next generation!

  Unable to, Xuzheng Tian had no choice but to quickly fall from the high sky, even if it meant getting hit himself, he had to prevent the main hall in the east from being damaged!

  At this critical moment, a virtual shadow suddenly flew out of Fei Xue Mountain and arrived at the main courtyard in the east before Xu Zhengtian.

  Right after that, a sword light flashed out and heavily chopped on the seemingly substantial attack - Boom!

  All I saw was the sword light passing by, and the attack that Tian Hong left behind was all scattered, instantly turning into nothingness.

  Xu Zhengtian arrived when the aftershocks of the attack had already dissipated, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief.

  "Well done." He patted the newcomer on the shoulder and then went back with him to Fei Lian Shan.

  He Lao saw the scene just now and sighed: "It seems that from today on, Xu's family and Tian's family have completely torn their faces. I don't know what kind of grievances the two masters had, but they actually made Tian Hong so furious that he started a big fight."

  Xu Ziqing knew that the elder was not asking him, a newcomer and a miscellaneous servant, but rather talking to himself. However, he still had doubts and couldn't help but ask: "He Guan Shi, who was it that struck down Tian Jia Zhu with a single sword strike? How formidable!"

  He Lao said with a smile: "That person is Xu Zifeng."

  Xu Zifeng? Xu Ziqing thought carefully and remembered a woman who was both proud and reasonable, named Xu Ziping. It's said that she has an elder brother, Xu Zifeng.

  That day, Xu Ziting came to Bai Cao Garden to ask for a thousand-year-old grass, which was used to refine a Qi-replenishing pill for Xu Zifen who had successfully built his foundation.

  Looking at Xu Zifeng's sword just now, the sword light was sharp and fierce. Even Xu Ziqing, a newcomer to the path of cultivation, could see that his aura was thick and steady, without any signs of weakness or instability. It seemed that he had already made up for it.

  He initially built the foundation, and he was able to block Tian Ting's mid-term foundation with one blow. Although the opponent's spiritual power had been greatly depleted, Xu Ziyu was able to block it with ease, which was quite impressive!

  For a moment, Xu Ziqing also had some admiration for Xu Zifeng.

  Na He Lao Tou saw Xu Zi Qing reveal a look of admiration, couldn't help but smile: "That Xu Zi Feng is indeed the most talented and outstanding young master in my Xu family for 500 years, and he's also from the direct lineage. His position was already quite high to begin with. And yet, his determination is firm, his cultivation extremely diligent, and at just 25 years old, he's already established a foundation, greatly increasing the prestige of my Xu family. His status can be said to be above that of many elder seniors. If you have the heart, you can take him as a mirror; even if you can't catch up to him, you'll still be able to reflect on yourself."

  The author has something to say: First of all, thank you for the landmine from Little Rain, and a big hug for mua.

  Then, everyone is so looking forward to the attacker's rough line, but the attacker is indeed still in that very dark and secretive place... Why don't you all guess where it is? By the way, it's absolutely not that kind of topic, ah! Too heavy...
