The refining was successful for the first time, which was a good sign. Xiao Chen's face showed genuine joy. There were still four materials in the Qiankun Ring that could not be wasted.
I started to continue refining, but my luck in the next few times was not as good as the first time. The success rate was only half and I failed twice. However, the overall success rate was not low. After putting away the three beauty pills, Xiao Chen walked towards Liu Ruyue's yard.
Arriving at Liu Ruyue's door, just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened with a creak, revealing Liu Ruyue's somewhat shocked face.
The blood stains on Liu Ruyue's body have been completely washed away, and she has returned to her usual appearance. She is still wearing a tight-fitting warrior training robe, and her complexion looks much better.
There was just a faint scar on her face, which had not gone away, which affected the girl's appearance somewhat. But looking at Liu Ruyue's appearance, she didn't seem to care.
"What do you want from me?" Liu Ruyue asked.
Xiao Chen came back to his senses, nodded, handed the beauty pill to Liu Ruyue and said: "Sister Ruyue, this is the beauty pill that I refined myself. It can remove scars on the body and also has the effect of nourishing the skin."
Liu Ruyue smiled when she heard this, and felt a little happy in her heart. Girls all love beauty, and Liu Ruyue was naturally not exempt from the vulgarity, but she didn't have any strong desire in this regard.
"Is this bribing the master?" Liu Ruyue took the pill and joked.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Sister Ruyue, I am going to go to the Merit Hall later. I may not return to Qingyun Peak this month."
"The Hall of Merit?" Liu Ruyue pondered for a while and said, "It doesn't matter whether you go or not. Many of the martial arts at the top of Qingyun Peak require merit points to redeem."
"Come with me. Your basic sword skills have reached a minor level. Before you go, I will teach you the secret technique of Qingyun Peak."
Xiao Chen's face changed slightly and he said: "Sister Ruyue, your injury is not healed yet. It's not easy to use your energy rashly now. Let's talk about it after I come back!"
Although she really wanted to learn Qingyun Peak's secret skills, with Liu Ruyue's current condition, it was really not a good time to teach martial arts. When she was recuperating, using her vitality rashly would cause great damage to her body.
Liu Ruyue smiled softly and said: "It doesn't matter, I know my own body."
Qingyun Peak, in the martial arts arena.
Liu Ruyue stood opposite Xiao Chen and said, "Tiandao Pavilion and the seven schools of martial arts all have corresponding characteristics. The characteristic of Qingyun Peak's swordsmanship is that it is fast, and the sword is faster than the wind."
"So the secret skills in Qingyun Peak are also related to speed. There are seven secret skills in Qingyun Peak. According to the long sword of the Moon Shadow Sword, there is only one that is more suitable for you, Qingfeng Slash!"
Qingfengzhan? Xiao Chen remembered that he had obtained a martial arts book of Qingfeng Zhan, so he couldn't help but rummage through the Qiankun Ring. After a moment, he took out a martial arts book and handed it to Liu Ruyue and said: "This is a martial arts book I obtained before. This is it." ?"
Liu Ruyue was a little strange, took it over and took a look, and then met Xiao Chen's shocked eyes.
Throwing it into the air, the small horizontal sword was unsheathed, dancing in the air with light and shadow, and the books recording Qingfeng Zhan were scattered.
Swish!
Countless wind sounds sounded in the air, and Xiao Chen could feel the strong air currents standing on the opposite side. His clothes were fluttering in the breeze and his hair was dancing constantly.
The book kept shaking in the air, and the pages turned into loose pages, floating away one by one, and then fell neatly from the air, stacked one by one.
When the small horizontal knife was returned to its sheath, all the pages of the book had been split apart, but the books that fell to the ground were surprisingly neat. The top page actually happened to be the cover of the book.
If Xiao Chen hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he might have thought that the book on the ground was a perfect book because it was so neat.
"This is a fragment that has been circulated. It is of little use. What I just performed was Qingfeng Slash. I wonder if you saw it clearly." Liu Ruyue explained to Xiao Chen.
It's not nonsense. It's just one time. How could he see it clearly? Xiao Chen shook his head honestly.
Hearing this, Liu Ruyue said: "It doesn't matter if you don't see it clearly. Just remember the key points of Qingfeng Slash. Qingfeng Qingfeng, only the breeze but no sword."
Seeing only the breeze but not the sword, Xiao Chen recited this sentence several times in his heart, and suddenly realized that when Liu Ruyue took out the sword just now, the blade of the sword sliced through the air, causing waves of breeze.
It was obviously the air flow brought by the blade, but in his feeling, he only felt the presence of the breeze strongly, and the feeling of the blade was not so clear.
Seeing that Xiao Chen seemed to have realized something, Liu Ruyue continued: "The meaning of this sentence, to put it clearly, is to hide the murderous intention in the breeze, so that the enemy cannot feel the existence of the sword, so that it is difficult to judge the direction of your sword. , just like this.”
Liu Ruyue finished speaking and took a step forward. The blade of the sword was unsheathed, and a violent airflow was generated, immediately setting off a continuous breeze.
In a daze, Xiao Chen seemed to see the small horizontal knife in Liu Ruyue's hand suddenly disappearing in the air. Although he did not feel the murderous aura, there was an instinct coming from the body.
He reacted quickly and took two steps back sideways. The moment the soles of his feet landed on the ground, the small horizontal knife seemed to appear out of thin air and cut the clothes on his chest.
Liu Ruyue put away her sword and turned around, threw a book to Xiao Chen and said: "This is the manuscript of Qingfeng Zhan. Although it is handwritten, it is complete. The one you have is not comparable to this one. Okay, you can gone."
Xiao Chen glanced at the secret skill in his hand, put it away, and asked, "Does this count as teaching you? I seem to have learned everything."
Liu Ruyue chuckled, slapped Xiao Chen with the scabbard in her hand and said, "What else do you want? This is the essence of what I have learned. It will save you a lot of detours. Just remember what I said to you." That’s it, I can only see the breeze but not the knife.”
"By the way, don't take on tasks that are too dangerous. When you come back, I will start teaching you how to use swords to channel spirits."
Xiao Chen didn't know how to answer. He always felt that Liu Ruyue's kindness was a bit unbearable and too heavy.
Liu Ruyue said: "You don't need to think too much. Although you and I are almost the same age, the name of master and apprentice still exists. It is my duty to teach you martial arts, and I help you as well as myself."
After sincerely bowing to Liu Ruyue, Xiao Chen turned around and walked out of the martial arts arena, preparing to leave Qingyun Peak and rush to the rooftop. After Xiao Chen left far away, Liu Ruyue couldn't help but cough softly a few times.
…
The Merit Hall, where the sect's merit tasks are released, is located on the prosperous Wangtiantai. This is what Xiao Chen found out about halfway.
After getting off Qingyun Peak, Xiao Chen immediately speeded up and rushed towards the Tiantangtai. The Tiantangtai was very conspicuous in the Lingyun Mountains. The huge platform could be seen even from a long distance away.
It is said that the mountain is so far away that you don’t realize it is so tiring when you walk on it. Xiao Chen ran with all his strength for an hour before reaching the foot of the mountain.
The last time I came to Wangtiantai, I flew here on Ge Yunbin's jade boat. It was very convenient and not as troublesome as it is today. When they reached the top of the mountain, Xiao Chen looked at the towering sky terrace and felt a headache thinking about having to climb all the way to the top.
"This junior brother wants to go to the Sky Tower. Let's take my flying spirit beast up there. I only need two low-level spirit stones."
"Junior brother, take my seat. I only need one low-level spirit stone, and my spirit beast is faster than his."
When Xiao Chen was about to walk up, a group of people suddenly came around. Behind these people were a flying spirit beast, sitting like a coachman.
It's just that the price is a bit scary. It's just a trip, and it actually costs the same as a low-level spiritual stone. It's really more expensive than an airplane.
In the end, Xiao Chen spent a low-level spirit stone and took a flying spirit beast up the mountain. He estimated that the height of the rooftop was high, and if he could reach it at his speed, it would probably be dark.
Time is a little wasteful. After all, he is not short of spiritual stones. He just got a large amount of spiritual stones before, and there are still a lot of spiritual stones in the Qiankun Ring. He won't feel bad if he uses them now.
The man collected the spirit stone and immediately asked Xiao Chen to get on his flying spirit beast. His spirit beast was somewhat special, it was a bird with wind attributes.
As soon as he soared, a gust of wind blew up, he rose into the air, and flew quickly towards the top of the mountain. The speed was really very fast as he said.
Seeing so many people owning flying spirit beasts, Xiao Chen couldn't help but wonder how these flying spirit beasts were obtained. Among the spirit beasts that can be tamed, the flying spirit beast is the most valuable because it is the most difficult to tame.
The owner of the spirit beast listened to Xiao Chen's question and replied with a smile: "If you use the sect's merit points to redeem it, you can directly redeem it with the sect's merit points in the sect's spirit beast hall. However, these spirit beasts are of lower levels. Use Not very good value.”
Xiao Chen said a little strangely: "How do you say this?"
The man explained: "There is no soul blood jade, and it was not raised since childhood, so the spirit beasts purchased will not be more than two levels."
"You can imagine how powerful a second-level spiritual beast is. It's almost impossible to drag it out to fight. Thank God if it doesn't hold you back, so it can only be used as a tool on the road."
"Otherwise, why do you think there are so many people doing this business under this mountain? They are all being deceived."
Xiao Chen realized something in his heart. In fact, the main problem was not that the strength of these spirit beasts was too low, but that there was no good communication with their masters, which required special methods.
Only the Shou Beast Zhai of the Tang Dynasty had control over it, and no one from other countries had it. It was a very good taming method that allowed it to understand some ordinary instructions, which was already great.
However, this man was so excited that Xiao Chen couldn't interrupt him and let him continue. After a while, he reached the top of the mountain. After Xiao Chen thanked him, he immediately asked people where the Merit Hall was.
The area of the rooftop is even larger than that of an ordinary small town. The buildings, pavilions and jade buildings are scattered one after another, and there are people coming and going on the road, which is very lively.
After finding out the location of the Gongde Hall, Xiao Chen began to slowly explore there. He didn't know the way the first time he went there, and it took him a long time to find the Gongde Hall.
