Chapter XXXIX
Yue Bingqian's return did not affect Yue Yu's life. When I got up the next day, I went out of the city early again to practice the martial arts of internal rest. And when the two came back in the evening, they found that the sorrow on Yue Bingqian's face had faded a lot, and Yue Yu guessed that it should be this girl, who already knew that the family's pharmacy business was very prosperous.
However, it was obvious that this did not change Yue Bingqian's impression of him, and when he ate at night, he still ignored him, and even had no good face for Ran Li. When she practiced martial arts in the morning, she saw Ran Li with her own eyes, and took the initiative to pull Yue Yu to leave the martial arts training ground when she was in Si. For this kind of guy who doesn't know how to admonish, but is 'in the same stream' with Yue Yu, Miss Yue is naturally blind.
Ran Li could only smile bitterly at this, he had no choice but to cover Yue Bingqian, so he had to cover his head and pick up food. Yue Yu didn't bother to pay attention to it, although he liked his little girl's surname a little, but Yue Bingqian was just a stranger to him after all. In his heart, he can't stir up even half a ripple. It's just that if the atmosphere is so weird when you eat every day, it will feel a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, from the fourth day, Yue Bingqian seemed to know that it was inappropriate to go on like this, and the dinner table began to converge slightly. And there are very few opportunities for the three of them to meet, and Yue Yu, who originally wanted to find an opportunity to improve the relationship between brother and sister, gradually put down the matter and turned to more, focusing on the improvement of strength.
The Five Elements Spirit Pill was boiled out extremely smoothly, and he also successfully raised his internal breath cultivation to the sixth layer of the Great Chaos Yuan True Force, but Yue Yu's desire to improve his cultivation by leaps and bounds was also completely shattered. He then went through the pharmacopoeia, but he couldn't find any other way to increase his strength. Those recorded in the medicine book have a lot of elixirs that can improve cultivation. However, it is either monopolized by the clan, or there is no prescription and materials. And Yue Yu, who had not gained anything in this regard for a long time, had no choice but to give up this matter for the time being, and instead 'follow the rules' to slowly cultivate internal breath.
Of course, this so-called 'step-by-step' is just the speed in Yue Yu's eyes. With Pei Yuan Pill's help, it only took Yue Yu five months to reach the seventh layer of the Great Mixed Yuan True Force. Then when the time limit of half a year passed, and then relying on a Five Elements Spirit Pill, he actually stepped into the peak of the seventh layer. This skyrocketing cultivation speed, if others knew about it, most of them would jump in shock.
However, Yue Yu was still dissatisfied, in addition to the imminent crisis, there was also Ran Li's reason. The guy used it for a month. Officially break through the eighth level. Then relying on the help of the two Dust Transformation Spirit Pills, he actually hit the ninth-level peak realm again. Coupled with the effect of Peiyuan Pill, there is a possibility of entering the realm of martial artists at any time.
And for this amazing entry, Yue Yu was simply not jealous at all now. He was only hoping that this guy's cultivation speed would be faster, and then he would ask for the Yi Marrow Pill from the clan elder sect to give it to him.
At this time, Yue Yu's situation was indeed embarrassing. The effect of the Five Elements Spirit Pill on him is very obvious, but unfortunately he can only take it once in half a year at most. And the effect of Yi Marrow Pill on his body is declining rapidly.
It only took him half a year to cultivate his inner breath to the peak of the seventh layer. But then it will take at least four months to actually break through to the seventh level. And the difficulty of breaking through each layer will be far greater than the previous one.
If he didn't rely on medicine, it would take more than ten years for a person with ordinary qualifications like him to break through the ninth level. And even if you add the Peiyuan Pill and the Five Elements Spirit Pill, it will take about a year and a half to be able to step into the martial artist realm.
――If it was at another time, Yue Yu would not care, after all, he was basically quite satisfied with this internal interest growth rate. But the problem is that the crisis of their family is also imminent.
As he expected before, Yue Youcheng's matter really failed to shake the foundation of the Jin family's father and son. The Nacai clan used hundreds of people, but in the end, they only accused Jin Xu of lax control and negligence, and then reduced some of their rights and manpower.
This is also expected by Yue Yu, Dongsheng Continent is based on force, Jin Xu is only thirty-six years old this year, maybe he can become a senior martial artist at the age of forty-five. She is a cronie raised by Yue Yunjie herself, and her little sister is Yue Yunwen's favorite concubine. If Yue Yu himself didn't show enough value, how could that patriarch be stupid enough to cut his wings? No matter how dissatisfied Yue Zhang was with this, he was helpless.
And what Yue Yu is worried about now is when Jin Xu will come back. If it was a normal situation, Jin Xu wanted to restore his former power. It's going to take three to five years. However, if it is his strength, if there is a breakthrough, it will be difficult to say. And as far as Yue Yu knew, Jin Xu had stayed at the realm of the fifth order of martial arts for at least three years.
As soon as he thought of this, Yue Yu felt helpless. There are rules in this world, but they are only made for the strong, but these two words are far from being counted by him now. The only thing he can do now is to try to increase his strength. There is no way to think about it in terms of true qi, so you can only find a way from other martial arts.
The perfection of basic swordsmanship was extremely easy, and since then, combined with the experience of fighting with Yue Youcheng, it only took him about fifty days to complete it. The improvement of left-handed knife technique is much simpler. Since several things are carried out simultaneously, the end time is more before the basic swordsmanship.
However, Yue Yu never expected that he would run into a nail in the 'Wind Technique', the skill that he had already learned about the general method of use on the first day of research.
In fact, in terms of the spiritual power and true qi required to use the Wind Blast, since his internal breath advanced to the seventh layer, he had barely reached the threshold of use. The problem was that the branch meridians that Yue Yu had chosen couldn't support such a high-intensity spiritual power and True Yuan impact at all. As a result, Yue Yu had to spend a lot of vitality to strengthen these branch meridians, so that they could reach a usable state as soon as possible.
However, what Yue Yu was far from expecting was that Jin Xu's counterattack would come so quickly.
"Really, the young city lord and young lady of Danyun City have arrived in our Yuejia City?"
When he said this, Yue Yu was walking with Ran Li halfway to the back mountain.
At this time, Yue Yu was not very clear about the situation of Yuejia City, as well as the surrounding situation. This is due to the fact that there are no other high-level figures around him. And the civilians that Yue Yu usually came into contact with, as well as the servants at home, would never know about these things. If Yue Yu could really find out, then their Yue family would really be in a worrying situation.
But this only refers to the details, the general situation, the surrounding geography, Yue Yu still knows a little.
I said enough before, the place where they are is in a fast area in the south of the Northern Wilderness. The specific place name is called Kitamahara. And within a radius of 30,000 miles, the largest city is Licheng, which is where the mother family of the Yue Zhang clan is located. It was a large city with a population of more than 4 million built by dozens of clans, and the Zhang clan was one of the big clans in it.
In addition to Licheng, there are hundreds of large and small urban market towns, some of which can be traced back thousands of years to the farthest possible time, and their strength can be said to be extremely strong.
The Yue clan came relatively late, and it can be said that it is an outsider here. However, he is a big clan in the Northland, and the ancestors saw the opportunity quickly, and most of the clansmen had been evacuated before the Wind Wing Xuanhu made a rebellion, so there was no major loss in strength. In addition, these years have been married to the surrounding cities. It can be regarded as barely gaining a firm foundation, and its power has radiated to dozens of small cities and market towns around it.
However, Yuejiacheng is not completely without opponents, and this Danyun City is one of the big cities that competed with Yuejiacheng for resources the most in the early years. It's only recently that relations have eased, but most of the old people in the city grit their teeth when they mention it.
Therefore, when he heard the news, Yue Yu turned around in some surprise and looked at Ran Li. As for how the other party knew about this news, Yue Yu didn't dig much into it. He knew that this 'honest' person had always been extremely gossipy.
