Qiao Canxue can be said to be the guide of Qiao Mu's martial arts.
In today's Heyang City, the Xuantian Temple where Qiao Mu first came into contact with the immortals was located. It was also rebuilt from the former Heyang Qiao Family Compound.
Qiao Mu closed his eyes and looked inward at his dantian.
As expected, his Dantian Qi Sea expanded rapidly again.
This time, he jumped directly from the initial sixth level to the initial fourth level.
"For a fourth-rank warrior, the next step is to refine the spirit."
The martial arts that Qiao Mu is practicing now include both top-notch ancient martial arts such as Changshengquan and Chunyang Wujigong, as well as modern martial arts such as Xuerou Baibian and Wusheng Lingxijue.
Whether in terms of the grade of martial arts, the quantity of martial arts, or attainments, after experiencing many high-quality deaths, especially this A-level death, Qiao Mu is no longer the same as before.
The higher the quality of the death, the greater progress you can make in a limited time, and the more martial arts you can practice to a higher level.
Qiaomu fastened his pants and walked out of the toilet contentedly.
When people reach sixty, they become stronger.
It really made him feel relieved.
After feeling relieved, he actually had a second worry in his heart.
"I died so happily that I am already sixty years old. I am already a fourth-rank master, and I have not yet obtained the second half of the "Eternal Life Fist Sutra" in the hands of the Wu Ji Association."
The biggest feature of Changshengquan, which makes it considered as one of the best martial arts, is that it can keep people’s energy and blood strong even in old age.
Qiao Mu has now almost reached the top of the Strength Training Chapter and cannot go any further.
So even though he was already sixty years old, thanks to the effects of the Changsheng Fist, Qiao Mu still felt full of energy and blood, and did not notice the decline of his energy and blood and physical strength.
But in the future, when you are older, it is hard to say.
"Where on earth are the people from Wu Ji Hui hiding? Let me kill two of them and get the second half of the Changsheng Fist Manual."
Perhaps because he was getting older, Qiao Mu began to miss his good friend Guo who had been so generous and charitable to him.
In the night.
Qiao Mu stopped at the side of the street and looked towards the Xuantian Taoist Temple in the distance.
The turmoil during the day had long since ended, but the Taoist temple still stood there, still with bright lights and abundant incense, and pilgrims coming in and out from time to time.
Qiao Mu raised his head slightly and looked towards the back mountain of Xuantian Temple again, and a mysterious intuition arose in his heart.
"Wu Qingxin, the Saintess of Xuantian Sect, is the person my intuition points to..."
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Qiao Mu was suddenly startled and looked towards the outside of the city.
In the brief moment just now, he was aware of the direction outside the city in his mind again, and there appeared another person who could be vaguely sensed by his intuition, just like the Xuantian Sect's Holy Maiden Wu Qingxin.
"Could it be someone from the Wuji Society?"
Qiao Mu glanced at Xuantian Temple and then looked away.
The death he experienced during the day made him realize the gap between himself and the immortal cultivators.
Among the menial Taoist servants he killed during the day, there was a warrior in the late sixth rank. Even such a person was guarding the Xuantian Sect.
Then one can imagine how big the gap is between the immortal sect Xuantian Sect and ordinary warriors.
Although Qiao Mu is not afraid of death.
But he didn't want to die in vain.
Even if an ordinary warrior is burned into incense, he can only be said to have little effect in today's dark world.
"Let's see first if the person my intuition points to is from the Wu Ji Society."
At this point, Qiao Mu also vaguely sensed the weirdness of the "Martial Spirit Holy Rhinoceros Secret".
The second day.
Inside a secret house in the west of the city.
Emperor Yonghe was sitting on a recliner with his eyes closed, looking a little sleepy.
After realizing that he might have offended the Xuantian Sect, he no longer had the interest or energy to go on an incognito visit to understand the people's sentiments.
During the whole day, he basically stayed in the courtyard thinking about countermeasures and resting his eyes.
"Your Majesty, we have found some clues about Qiao Pifu and the Qiao family he mentioned."
Guard Chu appeared behind him and reported.
The Feiyu Guards were both the emperor's personal guards and his eyes and ears.
In fact, Feiyuwei had already started investigating Qiao Pifu's identity a long time ago.
At first, Emperor Yonghe's interest in Qiao Mu was caused by "Wang Shanhe". Emperor Yonghe wanted to find Wang Shanhe, who had died for his remonstrance by carrying the coffin, through the newly appointed Captain Qiao.
After Qiao Pifu's irresponsible discussion of state affairs in a teahouse, Emperor Yonghe began to develop some interest in Qiao Pifu himself.
After investigating all the way until now, I finally found out some things.
"Is this man Qiao related to the Qiao family of Heyang that was wiped out by the Martial Saint?" asked Emperor Yonghe.
The surname Qiao is not special. There are many people with the surname Qiao in the world.
Speaking of the famous Qiao family, it is naturally the Heyang Qiao family that was previously wiped out.
"Your Majesty, when the Heyang Qiao family was wiped out, the Martial Saint was not a merciful person. These two Qiao families should have no relationship."
"Qiao Pifu is like a person who jumped out of a stone. He looks ordinary, but he is actually very mysterious."
"We have already checked the clue about Shen Qinghe. What we can confirm is that Shen Qinghe's understanding of Qiao Pifu is also quite limited, even less than that of my Feiyuwei."
Speaking of this, Chu Xing's expression also became slightly solemn.
The more I investigated, the more frightened I became.
Putting aside the lofty immortal sects, even though the national strength of Dayan has weakened over the years, it is still Dayan.
As the Feiyu Guard beside the emperor, he is naturally very important.
It's unbelievable that after such hard investigation, we didn't find any decent clues.
Qiao Pifu is not ordinary.
According to Feiyuwei's speculation, he was a high-level warrior with a damaged soul. He must have been injured by a cultivator in his early years. The spirit he showed before his death was indeed worthy of a warrior who had achieved success in spiritual cultivation.
Therefore, the Qiao family behind Qiao Pifu is obviously unusual.
Then the next guess is obvious: the Qiao family is a mysterious and hidden family that even the Feiyu Guards cannot trace much of.
"In addition, there are also stories about the Qiao family father and son circulating in Yancheng. This allowed me to find some connections between the Qiao family father and son and this Qiao Pifu."
"The people of Yancheng all say that the father and son of the Qiao family are both righteous men, with the legacy of the ancient chivalrous spirit, and take 'die for a good cause' as their family motto."
"And the family motto spoken by Qiao Pifu is another one: 'Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country.'"
Emperor Yonghe listened with a sense of longing.
"If these two Qiao families are the same Qiao family, then I wonder what kind of person the Qiao family ancestor who could come up with these two family mottos must be," he sighed.
"Are there any more connections between the two?" Emperor Yonghe asked again.
"Yes." Guard Chu replied:
"Whether it's the Qiao family father and son, Qiao Mu, Qiao Lin, and Qiao Sen from Yancheng, or the Qiao Pifu from Heyang Prefecture, they..."
"The city demon will disintegrate!"
Emperor Yonghe:
"Is this something in common?" He was a little confused.
"If it is just the disintegration of the demon, then it does not count. However, with the previous clues, I can make a bold assumption and make careful inferences to come up with a guess." Chu Xing said:
"The Qiao family is a mysterious and hidden martial arts family. Their mottos are 'die for a good cause' and 'every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country'. Among their family martial arts, there is the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique."
Emperor Yonghe was almost dumbfounded by what he heard.
The ancestral martial arts of the Heyang Qiao family is the Changsheng Fist.
And the Qiao family, where Qiao Pifu is, has an ancestral martial art called Heavenly Demon Disintegration
What kind of family is this? Aren’t they afraid of their descendants being extinct and their bloodline being cut off
If Emperor Yonghe had not witnessed with his own eyes the stern demeanor of Qiao Pifu before his death, he would never have believed that there was such a family in the world.
The goal of all noble families is to expand and prosper.
The Qiao family is obviously not a small family as they can produce a determined and high-level warrior like Qiao Pifu.
"Then continue to investigate." Emperor Yonghe ordered:
"Chopiff is dead."
“If the Qiao family behind him, and other heroes like Qiao Pifu, can serve our Great Yan, they may be able to explore a martial arts path that is not inferior to the immortal path after thousands of years.”
Speaking of this, Chu Xing, a third-grade spiritual warrior, also had a slightly dimmed look in his eyes.
Isn't the martial arts inferior to the immortal way
Such a grand goal is like a mirage, which can only be seen from afar and is ultimately unattainable.
Before the immortal cultivators intervened in the Great Yan Dynasty, warriors were actually the main body of the Great Yan Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Great Yan Dynasty was founded on military power.
However, the human body has its limits.
Although the training of a warrior is a process of constantly breaking the limits of the human body, the so-called breaking of limits is only relative.
The fourth level limit is the limit of the internal strength of a warrior’s Dantian.
For warriors below the fourth rank, the amount of internal energy will double or several times as they advance to a higher rank.
However, as a third-grade spiritual warrior, Chu Xing is not much stronger than fourth-grade warriors like Wu Qingxin and Lord Lou, if we only compare them based on the strength of their internal energy.
The amount of internal strength is only a small aspect. As a martial artist who has achieved success in spiritual cultivation, he is naturally more powerful.
After the fourth-grade Dantian limit, a warrior's internal strength has reached the soft upper limit of a human body.
It's not that it can't grow, but the upper limit of internal strength can only be accumulated over a long period of time and slowly broken through and grown. It's no longer like the previous few levels. After breaking the mirror, the internal strength can advance by leaps and bounds.
It is for this reason that the martial artists of the past gradually figured out the way to refine the spirit after training their strength to the limit, rather than continuing to pile up internal strength foolishly.
The way to refine the spirit is naturally more powerful than simply accumulating internal strength.
But in front of a cultivator...
As soon as he thought of this, Chu Xing was suddenly shocked. The intuition of a spiritual warrior made him realize a powerful threat that far exceeded his strength.
"Assassin? No, it's the immortal cultivator who has come." Chu Xing blurted out.
Emperor Yonghe, who had been resting with his eyes closed in the recliner, suddenly opened his eyes.
Is it coming, finally coming
It’s only been one day and the immortal cultivators from Xuantian Sect have already come to our door
The flying knife that was used to try to save Qiao Pifu actually ruined everything... Are you here to call for punishment now
Emperor Yonghe sighed slightly in his heart, stood up and straightened his back.
No matter how powerful the immortal sect is, as the emperor of Dayan, he cannot lose his dignity in front of the immortal cultivators.
Even half a month later, he would have to go to Qingming Mountain to pay homage to the immortals of Xuantian Sect as planned.
Chapter 84: Abolition of the Saint (3k
In a secret house in the west of the city.
"Xuantian Sect Chiyang greets the Great Yan Emperor."
A middle-aged Taoist in a red Taoist robe walked in, raised his chin slightly, and looked directly at Emperor Yonghe in front of him.
"..." Emperor Yonghe straightened his back secretly, his face calm:
"Is there anything the Immortal Master of Xuantian Sect has to offer?"
Taoist Chiyang, but also has a tablet called "Immortal Chiyang" in Xuantian Temple, although he is actually only the last-ranking deacon.
