Chapter 18: The Old Man
Each peak arranges the entry of new disciples in an orderly manner, the apprenticeship ceremony, and so on. Only Chaoyang Peak has no atmosphere, except for occasionally bragging and farting with Zhu Ganglie and a few others, there is nothing to do, and no one will arrange Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi is naturally happy to be idle, eating, cultivating, and sleeping every day, three o'clock and one line.
Cultivation is actually an extremely boring thing, and some people retreat for years or even decades in order to break through. In this way, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and since that time, the Tang family sisters have never come to Zhao Yi again, and they don't know if they are really angry with Zhao Yi or too busy. However, Zhao Yi didn't care, he still lived according to the three-point and one-line lifestyle, and he didn't feel bored.
Zhao Yi would practice his sword every morning in a very quiet bamboo forest in Chaoyang Peak.
A set of "Windless Sword" was immediately replaced with "Haoran Three Swords", and then began to practice "Chopping Firewood" and "One Word Chop". In an hour's time, Zhao Yi practiced nearly twenty sets of swordsmanship, and these swordsmanship were all the most suitable swordsmanship for him to cultivate from the Dust Washing Realm to the Qi Condensing Realm after Zhao Yi carefully selected. Except for the "Haoran Three Swords", which is a little special, the rest are some swordsmanship that are not of high level.
In Zhao Yi's view, martial arts are not as advanced as possible, and when cultivation is insufficient, cultivating high-level martial arts will affect the perception of martial arts, just like pulling out seedlings to help grow.
After practicing these swordsmanship, Zhao Yi began to practice "Kendo Basics". It is some simple slashing, stabbing and other basic swordsmanship moves, but Zhao Yi is very serious and meticulous, without feeling the slightest impatience because of the simplicity of these moves.
This practice is an hour. After practicing, Zhao Yi sat cross-legged and began to realize the results of his previous practice. What Zhao Yi didn't know was that there was a pair of eyes in the bamboo forest that had been staring at him since he came in the early morning.
Half an hour later, Zhao Yi got up and was about to leave the bamboo forest, when an old voice suddenly sounded.
"The road is simple, and all laws are one. Any flashy sword move, except for those flashy parts, boils down to the simplest slashes and stabs. ”
"It's rare that you got such a truth at such a young age, it's rare, it's rare. ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yi looked around vigilantly, but didn't find the slightest.
"One of the best defensive swordsmanship in the basic swordsmanship of "Windless Sword" was broken off thousands of years ago; "Haoran Three Swords" Haoran Sect's Zhenzong martial arts is a very special swordsmanship; "Chopping Wood" swordsmanship was created by a loose cultivator, and this loose cultivator was originally a woodcutter, and then realized the Tao, so he created this swordsman. Its characteristics are very distinct, that is, simple and direct, and extremely domineering. "One Word Chop" .................. "The old voice told Zhao Yi all the swordsmanship he had shown before word by word, and his origins one by one.
Zhao Yi was shocked in his heart, he must know that several of the swordsmanship he performed were swordsmanship that had been lost for more than a thousand years, and people now had never heard of it at all, and even fewer could recognize it, only those old monsters who had lived for thousands of years could recognize it. And the old man's voice was able to tell his origin one by one, how could Zhao Yi be shocked?
"Junior, Zhao Yi, I have seen my seniors, and I have disturbed the seniors' Qing Xiu, and I ask my seniors to forgive me, and the juniors will leave. Zhao Yi suppressed the shock in his heart, saluted the air, and prepared to leave. Zhao Yi knew that those old monsters who had lived for thousands of years were all people with strange tempers, so it was better to leave early
"Little friends stay, old decay has no malice. It's just that seeing the swordsmanship performed by Xiaoyou, it evokes the old and dusty memories for a long time, and I can't help but talk about it for a while. As the voice fell, a gray-haired, stiff old man with a bamboo stick appeared in Zhao Yi's sight.
The old man's body trembled, as if he was about to fall down at any moment, and every step seemed to take a lot of effort. Zhao Yi didn't feel the slightest martial aura in the old man, as if the old man was really just an old man. However, Zhao Yi did not relax his vigilance in the slightest, but became more vigilant.
"Junior, Zhao Yi, has seen his seniors. Avoiding it must be unavoidable, Zhao Yi had to take a few steps forward and saluted the old man.
"Xiaoyou is polite. It took a lot of effort for the old man to stand firmly.
"Xiaoyou is dignified, has superb swordsmanship, and has a solid foundation, he is really a dragon and phoenix among people!" the old man looked up and down, and nodded with great satisfaction.
"The seniors have won the award, and the younger generations are really scared. ”
"Xiaoyou don't have to be humble, I don't know if Xiaoyou is willing to accompany the old and decayed. The old man said with a smile.
"The seniors are invited, and the juniors are honored. ”

..............................
A simple bamboo courtyard with a bamboo table and a few bamboo stools and steaming tea on the table.
"Little friends, please sit down, the humble house is simple, don't be surprised by the little friends. The old man invited Zhao Yi to sit down.
Zhao Yi bowed, picked up the teapot, poured a cup for the old man, and then poured another cup for himself.
"Xiaoyou is young, he knows so many swordsmanship, many of which are long-lost swordsmanship, I want to come to Xiaoyou from a famous family!" said the old man with a kind face.
"It's a fragrant tea, just smelling it, I feel very fresh, and I feel that my cultivation is a little loose. Zhao Yi looked at the tea in his hand and said with a shocked face.
"This is a tens of thousands of years of tea trees, only collected before the rain around Qingming every year, a hundred years to collect a catty, these tea is still sent by an old friend many years ago, you may wish to try it. For Zhao Yi's answer, the old man didn't care.
"Then the junior is welcome!" Zhao Yi said a little impatiently.
The old man smiled and nodded.
Zhao Yi put the teacup on the tip of his nose and sucked it gently, and suddenly felt that the cultivation was loosening more obviously. Then he took a shallow sip. Suddenly I felt a feeling, and the vitality in my body also surged, obviously this was a sign of a breakthrough. At this time, Zhao Yi couldn't care about being rude, immediately put down the teacup, saluted the old man as a confession, and immediately sat on the ground and began to break through.
The vitality in Zhao Yi's body completely began to surge, and the surrounding aura also poured into Zhao Yi's body.
The intensity of aura is the key to a martial artist's cultivation, especially when breaking through, how much aura is the key.
The Xuyuan Sect is located on the spiritual vein, with abundant spiritual energy, and it is a rare holy place for martial arts practice in the world. This bamboo forest is abundant in spiritual energy, and it is also a good place for cultivation, and it is more than enough to rub it for cultivation. But if it is used as a breakthrough realm, it seems to be a little insufficient. This breakthrough came too suddenly, so Zhao Yi was not prepared in advance, which seriously affected Zhao Yi's breakthrough process, and some of his strength was insufficient. If the breakthrough fails, the light ones will be injured, the heavy ones will regress, and the more serious ones may even affect the future martial arts achievements.
Zhao Yi's body began to shake, which was a sign of lack of strength.
"Oops, this time it came too suddenly, and the aura is a little insufficient!" Zhao Yi thought anxiously, but there was no way. The whole process of breakthrough cannot be interrupted, and must be done in one go, whether it succeeds or fails. At this time, it was obviously a lack of aura, which made Zhao Yi a little flustered, and this distraction, Zhao Yi's body shook even more.
"Let the old man help you!" The old man who was quietly drinking tea on the side saw Zhao Yi's situation and showed a smile on his face. With a wave of his hand, a large amount of heaven and earth aura quickly converged towards Zhao Yi.
Seeing that he was about to fail, Zhao Yi was already praying that the end would not be too miserable, and suddenly the majestic aura of heaven and earth suddenly made Zhao Yi happy in his heart, and he saw hope again, and he also understood a little in his heart, but this was not the time to think too much, so he immediately stabilized his mind and concentrated on breaking through.
The Tianxin Hall of Xuyuan Peak is the place where the sect masters of the Xuyuan Sect lived in the past dynasties. At the moment when the old man extracted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Li Mubai, who was cultivating, opened his eyes and instantly appeared outside the Tianxin Palace, looking in the direction of Chaoyang Peak, his eyes were full of deep meaning.
Two hours later, a wave of dust washing upper realm fluctuations emanated from Zhao Yi's body. After another cup of tea, Zhao Yi slowly opened his eyes, and the fluctuations in his body were completely calmed. I saw Zhao Yi point a few acupuncture points on his body, and at the same time formed a strange handprint in his hand, the vitality fluctuations on Zhao Yi's body suddenly decreased, and only the cultivation of the initial realm of dust washing was displayed.
After Zhao Yi finished all this, the old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's a very good way to collect breath, if you guess correctly, it's a unique method of Tianhe City."
"The juniors thank the seniors for their kindness. Zhao Yi respectfully made a big salute. Although the six senses are closed, the aura that bursts into it naturally cannot come out of thin air. And there are only two people here, himself and the old man, so Zhao Yi naturally understands that it was the old man who came to the rescue.
"It's okay, it's just a casual thing, and it's also because of me at this time, sit!" the old man pointed to the bamboo stool.
"Thanks to the seniors. ”
"Dare to ask the seniors, this tea is a thousand dollars, priceless, more precious than the enlightenment tea. Zhao Yi looked at the tea that made him feel a breakthrough after only taking a sip and asked. The 'ten thousand gold' in Zhao Yi's mouth is not gold, but a yuan stone.
The old man nodded in confirmation.
Although there was a bit of speculation, Zhao Yi was still shocked when he was confirmed by the old man. The world is blessed with enlightenment, tea is the emperor of tea, can help warriors to achieve enlightenment, is the most precious tea in the world. However, few people know that 'enlightenment' can allow martial artists to directly realize the Tao and help martial artists break through the realm, and Zhao Yi only heard of it when he was chatting with Old Lady Zhao once. You must know that the Zhao family has a lot of money, and Zhao Yi has never seen this tea, let alone drunk it.
"The seniors are very gracious, and the younger generations are unforgettable. Zhao Yi got up again and saluted respectfully. It's just that they met in the water, first 'enlightenment' to help themselves break through, and then came to the rescue when they didn't break through, how could Zhao Yi not be grateful!
