Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Water Moon Sword Palace.

Located on the central island of Shuiyue Lake.

The palaces are connected along the road, and the whole area is covered with blue glazed tiles.

Under the sunlight, it shines with a deep blue light.

Although the previous master of Shuiyue Sword Palace only reached the peak of the fourth rank in his lifetime, he also brought Shuiyue Sword Palace to the top level of power in Dongling County.

After Xiao Qiu Shui succeeded to the position of Palace Master, he further raised the status of Shuiyue Sword Palace.

Because she succeeded the position of Palace Master, she was already at the peak of the fourth rank, and defeated the senior elder who came to seek revenge, with the Green Water Sword at Shuiyue Lake.

He became famous in one battle and was known as the strongest person under the Grandmaster of Dongling County.

Among the various forces in Dongling County that do not have a master in charge, Shuiyue Sword Palace has also become the number one force under the Dongling County court.

This is not because Xiao Qiu Shui is obviously stronger than the previous Palace Master.

It was because Xiao Qiu Shui was young enough to succeed the Palace Master and was less than forty years old.

This age is very young for a peak fourth-grade cultivator, and it is not difficult for him to become a Grandmaster. With his powerful physical functions, it is easy for him to become a Grandmaster of humanity.

There is even a certain possibility of becoming the world's top master, the celestial master.

It is precisely because of this possibility and potential that Xiao Qiu Shui's status and reputation have been greatly improved, and the future of Shuiyue Sword Palace is looking bright.

Even though Xiao Qiu Shui has not made any progress over the years, no one dares to look down on her.

Everyone can see that Xiao Qiu Shui's reason for stopping is just to achieve the status of a master of heaven and man, a flawless master of heaven and man in one fell swoop.

One who directly steps into the Celestial Grandmaster level from the fourth rank and draws the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body is the flawless Celestial Grandmaster.

It is better and more pure than first becoming a master of humanity and then becoming a master of heaven with the master's foundation.

Before her body functions declined and her qi and blood weakened, no one dared to say that Xiao Qiu Shui would not reach this point.

If she takes this step, she will be able to leap over the dragon gate and reach the sky in one step.

Looking at the nine provinces and thirty-six prefectures in the world, they are all of great importance.

A Grandmaster's Banquet of this level is enough to attract strong men from a state to come from far away to attend the banquet.

From the fourth rank, he entered the realm of the celestial master in one step.

As long as there are no accidents along the way, there is a 50% chance of becoming a second-grade grandmaster.

Once you become a second-grade grandmaster, you will be a top-notch strong man in the world, surpassing all the heroes in the world.

Among the thirty-six prefectures of Jiuzhou, there are very few strong people who can surpass the second-grade grandmaster, and most of them are like mysterious dragons that can only be seen from head to tail.

Two days later.

Autumn Moon Palace.

Xiao Emei knelt on the cold floor. Beside her were Yu Manyun's sword and the blood-burning nightgown.

above the steps.

A woman dressed in palace attire looked down at Xiao Emei, her long skirt dragging on the floor.

This person is the owner of this palace, Xiao Qiu Shui.

The strongest person under the Grandmaster in Dongling County.

"Yu Manyun is dead?" The voice was calm, like a pond without ripples.

"Yes, dead!" Xiao Emei lowered her head.

"According to the results of the investigation, was it murder?"

"I don't know." Xiao Emei shook her head.

"Apart from him, who else could kill Yu Manyun and dare to kill Yu Manyun? Don't you think so?" Xiao Qiu Shui said lightly.

"Master, what you said makes sense!" Xiao Emei lowered her head in agreement.

"Get up! This is not your fault!" Xiao Qiu Shui said in a flat voice.

"Yes, Master!" Xiao Emei stood up obediently after hearing that.

"Go and invite my sister over!" Xiao Qiu Shui spoke again.

"Yes, Master!"

Xiao Emei responded respectfully, saluted to Xiao Qiu Shui on the steps, then took her leave and walked out of the palace.

After a while.

A middle-aged woman with a worried and haggard face slowly walked into the hall under the guidance of Xiao Emei.

"Emei, you step back!"

"Yes, Master!"

Xiao Emei bowed and slowly left the hall.

Soon, only two women were left in the empty hall.

There is about three or four points of similarity between the two people's eyebrows.

Xiao Qiu Shui was standing on the steps. She was wearing gorgeous clothes, had a fair face and plump skin. She looked very young, probably around thirty years old.

The woman at the bottom of the stairs was different. She had a sallow complexion, sunken cheekbones, sagging skin, and crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. She looked to be in her forties.

"Qiuyue, your son's death has made you so much older?" Xiao Qiu Shui looked at his sister's current appearance with an moved expression.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiuyue smiled sadly.

"You don't understand! I only have this one son, and he is my only hope."

Hearing this, Xiao Qiu Shui sighed softly.

"It seems that if I lock you up, your heart will be dead!"

Xiao Qiuyue, who was standing at the steps, remained silent.

When her only son died, he took her soul with him.

Subsequently.

Xiao Qiuyue slowly walked down the stairs.

"Qiuyue, if I let you go back, what are you going to do?"

"Let me go back?" Xiao Qiuyue looked up at her sister, the Palace Master, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will completely offend the Inspection Office?"

"That Commander Jiang has only an 80% chance of killing your son!"

"Eighty percent, that's enough!" Xiao Qiuyue gritted her teeth.

"Qiuyue, it seems that you will not change your mind!" Xiao Qiu Shui sighed lightly.

Then she added: "I will let you go back!"

"Let me go back?" Xiao Qiuyue was stunned and looked at her sister.

Suddenly, she laughed out loud.

"So you want to be completely emotionless and free from all desires, to achieve the state of supreme oblivion, and thus enter the realm of harmony between heaven and man."

At this moment, Xiao Qiuyue understood everything.

I understand all my sister's thoughts.

Xiao Qiu Shui stood in front of her, without saying a word or refuting.

Subsequently.

Xiao Qiuyue turned and left.

"Sister, I will help you! I hope you can help me!!"

"Jin Yun is also your nephew!!"

The voice spread in the empty hall, and Xiao Qiuyue's thin and frail figure gradually stepped out of the palace gate.

Dongling City.

East courtyard.

"Sir, these are the credentials for the martial arts and literary examinations!"

"So early?" Jiang Ning looked at the envelope in Luyi's hand, a little surprised.

"Yes!" Lu Yi nodded: "The messenger said that he started delivering the letter just after the Mao hour!"

"Have you sent it off?" Jiang Ning glanced at the signature on the envelope and saw that it was his own name, then spoke.

"I sent him away and gave him a tael as a fee for his errands!" Lu Yi said.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded slightly and tore open the envelope in his hand.

Soon, he took out the household registration certificate and looked through everything in the oil paper envelope, and he immediately understood what was going on.

"There are still twenty days left for the civil service examination and twenty-one days for the military examination!" Jiang Ning murmured.

"Sir, I've got it in mind!" Lu Yi nodded repeatedly.

"What did you write down?" Jiang Ning shook his head and sneered.

Lu Yi said, "Write down the time of the exam. My lord is too busy. I will write it down carefully so that I won't be late."

"You are quite attentive!" Jiang Ning smiled.

Then he put the things in the oilskin envelope back into the envelope and handed it to Luyi.

"Keep these here. They're easy to lose if you leave them here!" "Yes!" Lu Yi nodded repeatedly, then kept the envelopes close to her body.

She immediately looked up at Jiang Ning: "Sir, are you going to Wuyuan now?"

"Yeah!" Jiang Ning nodded: "It's not too late!"

"Sir, how about I bring you food? It's not good for your stomach to be hungry every day and wait until late at night to eat!" Lu Yi had obviously been brewing these words for a long time, and she didn't say them until this moment.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

"With my martial arts skills, how can I say that it is bad for my stomach? Give me copper juice and iron pills, my stomach can digest them all!"

After he finished speaking, Jiang Ning pinched her thin cheek.

"Just practice martial arts at home and wait for me to come back!"

"By the way, have you started practicing your muscles?" he asked again.

"Not yet!" Lu Yi shook her head: "Not even close!"

next moment.

Jiang Ning separated a few drops of blood from his own veins.

"If I swallow these few drops of blood and refine them, I should be able to enter the seventh rank!"

"Yes!" Lu Yi's eyes suddenly showed a hint of excitement: "Thank you, Master!"

Having been with Jiang Ning for so long, she naturally knew that Jiang Ning's blood had extraordinary magical effects and could greatly enhance physical strength.

She was just an ordinary maid in Wanhua Tower before. She was able to acquire such martial arts proficiency in just a few months, all thanks to the magic of Jiang Ning's blood.

A few drops of blood flew into Luyi's mouth, and Jiang Ning also moved, walked out of the house and headed towards Wuyuan.

[Source Energy]: 15155
[Skills]: Reading and spelling (7677 times to break the limit 8000/) (Features: Photographic memory, extraordinary five senses, quick thinking, outstanding understanding, third eye ( time to break), sixth sense transcendence)
Water and Fire True Strength (1233/4000 after four times) (Features: Water and Fire Fairy Clothes, Controlling Water and Fire, Boiling Stones, Water and Fire Coordination)
Wind and Thunder Step (Great 921/1000)

In just two days, there has been tremendous progress.

Not only will the experience points for literacy be close to reaching the eight-time limit.

It also makes the Wind and Thunder Step only one step away from perfection.

This was because he took time out yesterday to register for the imperial examination, which delayed him for half a day.

If he had not wasted that half a day, his experience in reading and writing would have already reached the limit of eight times.

Such efficiency made Jiang Ning deeply realize a truth.

That is, ordinary books are far less efficient than advanced martial arts books in gaining experience points.

If it were ordinary books, it would be difficult for him to accumulate this much knowledge in just two days, let alone half a month.

After taking a look at the experience points that were lacking in the Wind and Thunder Step, he moved neither slowly nor quickly, and with one step he was able to cross a distance of several feet as if shrinking the distance into an inch.

Although the speed is fast, it will not cause any waves wherever the body passes.

Unlike ordinary warriors, once the speed is burst out, it will create a strong wind.

This is also the most mysterious part of the Wind and Thunder Step.

The higher the realm, the deeper the understanding of the wind, and the more one is integrated into the wind.

After reaching a certain level, one can even be like riding the wind, climbing mountains and crossing rivers as if walking on flat ground.

If you master it in this way and make use of the wind force, your speed will naturally increase greatly and the consumption will be drastically reduced, making you an extremely fast traveler.

And this is just the meaning of the word "wind" in the Wind and Thunder Step.

Jiang Ning did not use the meaning of the word "thunder".

The thunder in the Wind and Thunder Step is more inclined to cause an outburst in battle.

"One step like wind and thunder" is the description of the word "thunder".

He also believed that such a superior martial art would not disappoint him.

After a while.

He stepped into the Wu Garden, and the library appeared in his sight in the distance.

[Skills]: Wind and Thunder Step (Great Mastery 999/1000)

"It's just a matter of time!"

He whispered in his mind.

With a move of his body, he crossed several feet in an instant.

"Brother in front! Wait!!" A woman's voice called out from behind.

Jiang Ning did not stop.

In the past few days, his miraculous body movements and his regular appearances in the morning and evening naturally caused quite a stir in the martial arts garden.

So it wasn't just today, there were people shouting on the road yesterday.

At the time he thought it was something important, but later he realized it was such an outrageous matter.

So when he heard a similar call again today, he was too lazy to stop.

He came to Wuyuan simply to increase his own foundation.

Martial arts knowledge is the foundation.

Understanding this world, its history and culture, and its strange people and events is the foundation.

Only when you understand each aspect more deeply can you gain deeper insights.

Just like the Taoist and Buddhist scriptures in the past, if you don’t understand their culture, it would be harder than climbing to the sky to make foreigners understand the meaning of those scriptures.

The same is true for martial arts.

If you don’t understand history, culture, and changes from ancient times to the present, how can you comprehend the true meaning of martial arts?

Just like many martial arts emphasize the purpose.

It is simply impossible to grasp the essence of martial arts by rote if you don't understand its purpose.

So after he finishes reading some martial arts on the second floor, he will go to the first floor to immerse himself in it for a while.

Wuyuan Library is the place with the largest collection of books in Dongling County.

After a while.

The library was only a hundred feet away from him, and a prompt suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Wind and Thunder Step Experience +1]

[Skill]: Wind and Thunder Step (Perfect 0/1000)

next moment.

boom--

There was a roar between heaven and earth.

The path paved with blue bricks exploded in an instant, and the rubble scattered like flowers from heaven.

Jiang Ning also leaped up suddenly and blasted open the air wall in an instant.

The water vapor condenses and liquefies into small water droplets, forming a cloud of white mist in an instant.

The white mist spread like a regular channel.

Jiang Ning stopped, looked back, and was instantly stunned.

The next moment, he moved and instantly left the crime scene.

With just this one step, the path in Wuyuan was destroyed beyond recognition.

When he stepped out of the Wind and Thunder Step, a deep pit visible to the naked eye appeared.

Wherever his figure passed, it was as if swept away by a strong wind.

Many branches on both sides were broken by him and fell to the ground in pieces.

If he didn't leave, he would be caught on the spot by the people in Wuyuan and asked to pay compensation for damaging the public environment, but he didn't have the money now.

at the same time.

The first floor of the library.

The guard suddenly opened his cloudy eye and looked in the direction where the roar came from.

"One step of wind and thunder!!"

"This is the perfect level of Wind and Thunder Step!"

"who is it?!!"

There was uncertainty in his eyes.

As the guardian of the building here, he naturally knew about the Wind and Thunder Step, a superior martial art of physical movement.

The martial arts of the sect are extremely profound, and just getting started is extremely difficult.

Not to mention perfection.

The perfect level of superior martial arts is something that even an ordinary master may not be able to achieve, let alone in this small martial arts garden.

In the entire Dongling City, there are only a handful of masters, both openly and covertly.

The look in his eyes kept flashing. He couldn't think of it no matter how hard he tried. In the martial arts garden, besides him, who else could master the perfect level of Wind and Thunder Step? (End of this chapter)
