Chapter 109: Li Bai's Disciple

  To reach the 10th level of Qi Refining, the Grand Completion, one must cultivate to the 9th level of Qi Refining, the Grand Heavenly Cycle.

  Tempered and refined!

  Tempering one's magical power through a thousand refinements and hundredfold tempering, the quality of one's magical power will change, allowing for a natural entry into the tenth level of Qi Refining, the Great Perfection. Therefore, to reach the tenth level of Qi Refining, what is needed is the refinement of one's magical power through a thousand refinements. Battle is obviously a very useful method for refining one's own magical power. During battle, the entire body's magical power is mobilized and circulated, causing the magical power to be tempered.

  Yu Yu's superior also knew that Lu Yuan was lazy and idle, if he didn't push him a bit, he would probably still be hiding in his Changchun residence drinking and sleeping. So, he gave him a push and sent Lu Yuan to the Heavenly Prison for some tempering.

  This disciple will have great use in the future.

  Lu Yuan has arrived at Tian Prison and is currently on the second floor of Tian Prison.

  At this time, the atmosphere of the second floor of Tianlao was quite strange.

  Cold and stern.

  The prisoners all looked over, various strange laughter sounds rose and fell, they also did not think that this time it was actually Li Yuanbai's disciple, hahaha, there is an opportunity to bully Li Yuanbai's disciple, it's really not to be missed, how can we not treat him well.

  Jiang Boran, one of the three great swordsmen of Xizhou, heard these words and felt this strange atmosphere, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck. In prison, there are rules, and he had been in Tianlao for over a year, knowing that the strongest person on the second floor of Tianlao should be one of four people.

  Rat, Ox, Silver Whiskers, Thunderbolt.

  I don't know their original names, I just know that their current nicknames are these four.

  At this time, Lu Yuan was not in a hurry at all. He picked up the light yellow gourd, took a sip of wine, and casually threw the wine gourd back into the Xiu Luo bag: "It seems that my master is indeed feared by you, just hearing my master's name makes you so excited, it's really pitiful. You're so afraid of my master, and soon you'll be trampled by me again, it's really pathetic."

  The whole room fell silent as soon as these words were spoken.

  What a big tone! The prisoners on the second floor of the Heavenly Prison are all cultivators who have cultivated Qi for eight to ten times, and they have been practicing for decades. Some have even practiced for more than a hundred years, and most of them possess ultimate skills and have experienced countless battles. These people may not be called extremely evil, but they are all terrifying in their own way.

  Now, a junior actually said such arrogant words.

  So arrogant!

  A silence as if death had fallen, almost no one dared to believe their own ears.

  Only cold wind flows in the second layer of Tianlao.

  "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Li Yuanbai wasn't arrogant back then, but his disciple is so arrogant, it's really laughable."

  "If I, Zǐ Shǔ, am not mistaken, Li Yuánbái accepted you as a disciple eight years ago. After only about eight years of training, even if Li Yuánbái had taught you all his skills, you wouldn't be that strong." The sly old man called Zǐ Shǔ sneered.

  "Alright, then let's give Li Yuanbai's disciple a good reception." Various mocking voices rose up. They had been resentful of Li Yuanbai for a long time, so they knew some news about him, such as the fact that he had taken in this disciple eight years ago. Now, with this person delivering himself to their doorstep, how could they not be delighted?

  Lu Yuan completely ignored their ridicule: "Among you, which ones are the strongest? Let me have a good practice with my sword."

  What a bold and reckless young man! The prisoners burst out laughing, this junior is truly courting death, just entering the second layer of Tian Prison and already looking for the strongest few, completely seeking death! A reckless junior, that's how the prisoners evaluated Lu Yuan. However, Li Bai's disciple was determined to seek his own death, and the prisoners present were all delighted.

  "Zi shu lao da, bu ru ni lai nue dai zhe xiao zi yi fan."

  Translation: "The eldest mouse, otherwise you come and bully this little guy for a while."

  "Very well, I'll take care of it myself." In a prison cell, an old man with a sinister and cold demeanor said in a gloomy tone.

  Lu Yuan had already entered the prison cell made of Jiuyou cold iron, and had temporarily lifted the seal on Zishu's body. Within half a time unit, Zishu's magical powers would be restored to their original state, but after half a time unit, Zishu's magical powers would be sealed again.

  The young mouse wasn't in a hurry to take action, his magical power had been suppressed for too long and hadn't circulated in ages. Now he needed to get it circulating properly again, letting his body's meridians readjust to the feeling of magical energy flowing through them once more.

  Outside this cell, the cries of other prisoners could be heard.

  "Zi Shu, don't play too fiercely, but don't kill Li Bai's disciple all at once, just cripple him."

  "Yes, mouse, we haven't bullied Li Bai's younger brother yet."

  "Zi Shu, it seems that none of you have had enough yet." As the cry sounded out, those waiting to bully Lu Yuan were truly not few in number. Especially the other three people who were as famous as Zi Shu - Chou Niu, Yin Xu, and Ben Lei - these three actually also wanted to make a move, but ended up being preempted by Zi Shu.

  The little mouse smiled slyly: "Understood, I'll just cripple this kid." He looked at Lu Yuan: "With your looks, you still have a bit of a pretty boy appearance. If you're crippled, it will definitely be very satisfying."

  "Right, your master must have mentioned me before, my nickname is Zishu." Zishu looked at Lu Yuan.

  Lu Yuan shook his head: "Didn't mention it."

  At this time, Zi Shu was somewhat annoyed: "Why didn't he mention me? We were twelve people back then, known as the Twelve Scattered Evils, active in Xiyuan Province, roaming freely. As a result, ten of us were wiped out by your master Li Yuanbai, and two of us, including our leader, were captured. He actually never mentioned me." Zi Shu was somewhat annoyed.

  Lu Yuan explained, "To you, my master is very important in your heart. He was the one who defeated you and destroyed you, someone you can never forget for eternity. However, to my master, you are probably just a nameless small fry that he randomly defeated, so it's natural that he wouldn't remember you, just like I don't remember those three giants from Xizhou, Jiang Bo or whatever."

  At this moment, both Zǐ Shǔ and Jiāng Bó Rán were in tears.

  They knew that Lu Yuandao was telling the truth.

  The two of us remember each other because we were defeated by the other, so it's a deep memory. But for the opponent, they don't even remember me because I was just easily defeated, and in their eyes, people like me are just nameless small fries.

  This is the stark reality, but precisely because it's the truth, it's even more heartbreaking, and brings tears streaming down.

  Jiang Bo Ran was on the verge of tears, while Zi Shu was grinding his teeth. He found Li Yuan Bai to be detestable, but this disciple of Li Yuan Bai was equally despicable. Suddenly, he blurted out something that made himself even more painful: "You little brat, today I will cripple you."

  At this time, Zǐ Shǔ had a precious sword in his hand. Although the sword was of human-grade and couldn't compare to the flying sword, it was still a new acquisition for him. As a prisoner, he usually didn't have anything, but Zǐ Shǔ thought that with just one precious sword plus his own tenfold practiced internal energy, he could handle this detestable little brat. As soon as Zǐ Shǔ made his move, he unfolded his "Mouse Clan Sword Technique".

  His "Mouse Clan Swordsmanship" was quite unique, dashing east and west, dodging south and north, with an astonishing speed that made it hard to grasp.

  "The tip of the mouse's tail" makes you unsure whether this sword is attacking your head or your foot, it's extremely unpredictable.

  "This move 'Rat Heart Wolf Lung' is extremely vicious, it's as if they want to fight you to the death."

  "The Fox Runs and the Mouse Darts", this move has extremely fast and ruthless sword strikes.

  "The snake enters, the mouse exits" is a sword move that is most difficult to defend against. If one is slightly careless, they will be struck by this sword. It is the most sinister move in the Rat Clan Swordsmanship. When Zi Shu used this set of Rat Clan Swordsmanship, the prisoners on the side couldn't help but cheer. Even Ugly Cow was secretly impressed, thinking to himself that Zi Shu's skills had not diminished and his swordsmanship had become even more profound.

  Under such a powerful swordsmanship, it is likely that Lu Yuan, the younger generation, can only surrender. Ugly cow thought so in his heart, and other prisoners basically thought so too. At first, Zishu was indeed at an advantage, every time he was just a little bit short of hurting Lu Yuan.

  It seems that it's only a matter of time before Zǐ Shǔ hurts Lù Yuān as well.

  Actually, at the beginning, Zǐ Shǔ's Móu Bèi Jiàn Fǎ (Mouse Clan Swordsmanship) did cause some trouble for Lù Yuán. This set of sword techniques had a strong mouse flavor, with moves like "mouse tail two ends", "mouse heart wolf lungs", "wolf running mouse jumping", and "snake entering mouse exiting". These moves were one by one eccentric to the extreme, compared to Sī Tú Zuǒ's similarly bold swordsmanship, they were many times more bizarre.

  At the beginning, it was indeed a bit risky. At first, I used Yun Yi Meng Meng to defend against it. After getting familiar with this set of Zi Shu Jian Fa, I immediately launched a counterattack, and Feng Yun 108 Swords were displayed one by one. The speed at which Feng Yun 108 Swords were displayed was not as fast as Zi Shu's Mouse Sword Technique, nor did it need to be compared with Zi Shu in terms of speed.

  Unbeknownst to him, he had already lured the young mouse into the sword's range.

  With a long sword in hand, I have complete control over the enemy!

  Lu Yuan's true skill with the Wind Sword Intent was beyond Sub-Mouse's comprehension, and he didn't need to use such a high-level sword intent. The second level of sword intent pointed towards the opponent's weakness, and the third level, where the long sword in hand controlled the opponent, was almost enough.

  The sword's momentum was like flowing clouds and water, trapping Zǐ Mouse in a circle of swords.

  Of course, now it's just the beginning of the mouse's troubles. The onlookers still haven't realized what's going on and think that Zǐ Shǔ has the upper hand and will soon defeat Lù Yuánbái. They're excited at the prospect of bullying Li Bai's disciple and are all worked up, but only the three giants from Xīzhōu notice something familiar - isn't this the strange sword circle that trapped them in the past? Jiang Bó Rán thinks to himself, "This strange sword circle has appeared again, it looks like Zǐ Shǔ is going to be in for a tragic ending."
