I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Xie Yuan returned to his own courtyard—no, big courtyard—feeling a little tipsy.

Although the Xie clan's territory is large, the clan members are even larger. The description of "every inch of land is worth a lot of money" may not be appropriate, but the residences of many clan members are indeed not large.

Especially since the Xie family has a long history and countless branches, many geniuses from the branches are eager to come to the Chenjun clan's land to practice and to enter the legendary Xie family arsenal. To do this, they try their best and can only live in a single room in a courtyard in a corner of the clan's land.

Therefore, the size of the house in the clan not only represents the identity, but is also obviously a manifestation of strength, potential and corresponding resource allocation.

Xie Yi only said that he would directly give Xie Xuan's former house to him to live in. In fact, the supporting cultivation resources were all available and very rich. It was also the best in the clan. Others understood it at a glance.

After Xie Yuan understood this from Xie Wei, he naturally felt grateful to Xie Yi.

This second uncle who I picked up cheaply treated me like his own son in just a short period of time.

He did not neglect him because his parents were not around, nor did he feel estranged from him because he was not raised by his side. He gave him unreservedly simply because he was his eldest brother's son. Xie Yuan felt what it meant to be a relative whose blood was thicker than water.

In the ceremony of recognizing his ancestors, his biological parents were no longer around, so the blood used for recognizing his kinship was the blood of his second uncle Xie Yi. Looking back, the red blood seemed to be integrated as one, and they were his closest relatives.

However, as the head of the family, Xie Yi naturally has to consider the entire clan. If Xie Yuan cannot prove that he is worthy of this effort, it would be unfair to Xie Yi.

Based on what Xie Yuan had observed recently and what he had heard about Xie Yi's reputation, he most likely would not reduce his own expenses, but would find ways to supplement them privately.

Xie Yuan naturally didn't want to make things difficult for Xie Yi. He had to let the entire Xie family understand that they were not just relying on the blessings of their ancestors to live a life of ease.

I guess this opportunity will come soon.

Xie Yuan returned to his room, asked the maid to get some hot water, then waved them away and declined their personal service, which basically meant that these pretty maids belonged to him wholeheartedly.

It’s cool, but still a bit awkward.

Although I have gotten used to it in Jinling, I still do it more for the sake of acting.

Now Xie Yuan has become a real nobleman, but he is not used to this kind of life that is completely superior to others. It was stolen before, but now it has become real...

Now that he has freedom, Xie Yuan has his own choices. Just carry the water, and do the rest by yourself, be more comfortable.

After everyone went out, Xie Yuan locked the doors and windows, and then habitually set up some small warning devices and small traps to deter people.

The effect may be minimal for experts, but it is better than nothing. This is a rare and beneficial habit developed in Qiufeng Tower.

Xie Yuan's feelings in the Xie family are naturally not as cautious as those in the Yao family, but he has not yet reached the point where he regards this place as his own home.

Even though he had only met a portion of the masters during the family dinners over the past few days, which was more than all the masters in the Yao family combined, Xie Yuan was still used to relying on himself.

Who knows if the danger will come from these Xie clan members? To Xie Yuan now, they are basically strangers.

After packing up and lying on the soft brocade bed, Xie Yuan's muscles, which had been tense all day, relaxed a little.

"Home?"

Xie Yuan sighed softly, it was indeed a golden nest.

From the dilapidated cabin in the mountain village to here, Xie Yuan felt like he had walked a long way.

But this is probably not the end of the resting place, far from it.

But no matter what, the daytime ceremony of recognizing ancestors was successfully completed, which means that at least now, this is his undisputed home.

So what should we do next at the Xie family?
Xie Yuan was a little confused for a moment, as if Xie Yi had never asked him to do anything. Could it be that he was really content with being a parasite?
It seems that with his identity, he can really... want to be a chaebol and he really becomes a chaebol. Whether he practices cultivation or not, he can live a brilliant life.

The former head of the Xie family, the only son of a grandmaster, couldn't find any famous female knights he wanted to play with? They kept coming at him.

"If I had been here from the beginning, I might not have wanted to practice."

Xie Yuan let out a breath, thinking with some amusement.

Even the maids smelled nice.

However, Xie Yuan is no longer the thin and confused boy from the mountain village.

From the Tieyi Sect, Longteng Escort Agency, Yunshan Sword Sect to traveling to Jiangnan, Xie Yuan was used to paying in exchange for rewards, so it was a little hard for him to get used to lying down and practicing now.

But he never hesitated about what he wanted to do or what path he wanted to take.

Not once since I started on this path.

"I really wanted to be a tycoon, but then I didn't want to be one anymore. People..."

Xie Yuan shook his head and began to seriously plan his next practice.

There is no doubt that the conditions provided by Chenjun Xie family are the best conditions for cultivation that he has ever had.

Look at these things that help calm the mind and spirit, the agarwood purple gold furnace, the golden cattail jade ruyi... I got a complete set of them. I could be distracted one moment and enter the state of cultivation the next. I don't need to meditate for too long before practicing, which saves a lot of time.

As for the "simple" medicinal soups and medicinal foods that replenish blood and spirit, many of them are made from the meat of monsters hunted in various ruins. The kitchen in his courtyard has a lot of them, which can be made directly and supplied all day long. They can be warmed up at any time, and thrown away directly when they are out of date. When Xie Yuan saw them for the first time, his eyelids jumped, and he almost thought that these servants of the big clans were dissatisfied with their new master and maliciously threw away the good things and didn't let him eat them... But they immediately brought the freshest ones.

As for the most important cultivation elixirs, the training room was equipped with a set of basic ones - of course, these were top-notch ones outside. Xie Yuan thought that was enough, until he saw a list of "Golden Wind Jade Dew Pills, Dragon Tiger Golden Blood Pills, Purple Fire Essence Paste..." and other precious elixirs that he had heard of or never heard of. There was a long list with different effects, and there were careful notes at the end, obviously knowing that he was a bumpkin from the mountain village and didn't know many of their uses.

He can withdraw these pills every month, with the number marked on the back, ranging from one to three.

There was also a familiar elixir in it - Leopard Embryo Jade Pill.

It's just that I'm at the very back, around 15th. As for the number behind me, there's no limit.

Basically, for the top ten miracle drugs, he can take them once a round and it will be the next month again without having to stop taking them.

“Too corrupt…”

Xie Yuan looked up to the sky and sighed.

Although I still feel a little unworthy, but since I'm here, I should make good use of it.

Under such conditions, Xie Yuan felt that he could reach the Grandmaster level in one go.

"The short-term goal is to break through the Great Golden River Technique to the ninth level. The Double Stars Arching the Moon and Star God Flower have already restored the body-nourishing skill in a short period of time. Then I will take the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill. After refining it, the body-nourishing skill will probably be at the fourth or fifth level. It will not be a problem to break through the Great Golden River Technique directly."

Xie Yuan nodded slightly. This was the current goal, the most direct and fastest way to improve strength. He had personally experienced the power of the Great Golden River Technique, and it really made him love it.

Thank you Yao family, thank you Yao Tianchuan.

"Then let's go to the most fundamental training method. The Blood Qi Realm has just broken through to the Third Transformation Realm. I think it will take quite some time to reach perfection."

Even with Xie Yuan's talent and the conditions here, it would take more than a day to accumulate the unprecedented amount of blood and energy required to become a Grandmaster. It would take years... probably.

But with all kinds of precious resources, it will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort, faster than you can imagine.

At that time, if the inner breath level can also catch up, it will be time to strive for the Grandmaster level.

However, Xie Yuan was thinking about the problem of cultivation method:
"The Golden Bell Cover has been a bit weak so far. It's not that the Golden Bell Cover is bad, it's just that compared with the others, it pales in comparison and is too ordinary."

The Golden Bell Cover can be cultivated to the Grandmaster level, but few who can break through to the Grandmaster level practice this level of skill as their main discipline.

The quality and power of Xie Yuan's internal energy are now extremely great, but his blood energy is somewhat mediocre. When fighting against masters, he has almost never had an advantage in this aspect.

He has always wanted to upgrade his martial arts, but there has never been a good opportunity.

Perhaps I can find a better way to practice in the Xie family?

Xie Yuan fell into deep thought.

According to legend, the Xie family's armory has been collecting martial arts from all over the world for thousands of years. Its accumulation is the largest among the eight great families and it is a holy place of martial arts in the hearts of countless people.

Although Xie Yi provided him with all the necessary resources, he was not allowed to enter the Xie family armory. He wondered when he would be able to see the famous top martial arts?
And I wonder if there is any suitable Buddhist technique here? It would be best if it is in the same vein as the Golden Bell Cover.

Hard to say.

Xie Yuan has been cultivating the blood and energy developed by the Iron Shirt and Golden Bell Cover. Now he has reached the third transformation level, and his body and fighting style have adapted.

If we change to a completely different training method, there will be many restrictions and it will probably be very difficult.

Maybe it's hard to find the right one, maybe the Buddhist rhyme can help...

Xie Yuan shook his head. He had been in trouble for many days and had no chance to seek Buddhist fate. When he settled down in the Xie family, Yuzhou had always had many Buddhist temples, and there was also the Prajna Temple, which was the world's Zen sect. Maybe he could visit one or two.

In addition to external and internal skills, other skills and swordsmanship can be practiced here without any worries. He was cautious in the Yao family and did not dare to study and practice other moves. Here, he was the only one in the courtyard, so he didn't worry about anyone peeking at him, and even if they knew, it would not matter.

Many of the skills that Xie Yuan knows are not always useful now, but everything he has learned in martial arts will always be useful.

Xie Yuan decided to summarize and plan here in peace, eliminating the dross and retaining the essence, discarding the useless branches and keeping the real exquisiteness.

Maybe this will take a long time, but it’s just right in the Xie family.

What is a master? To be a master is to find your own way.

With Xie Yuan's current level of cultivation, it's time for him to start considering the path to becoming a Grandmaster.

After thinking clearly about his short-, medium- and long-term martial arts goals and understanding what he could do in the Xie family, Xie Yuan felt at ease. He covered himself with the quilt and lay down.

I feel drunk tonight, so I'll take a nap first.

The next morning, it was just dawn.

Xie Yuan was still lying there, and suddenly opened his eyes.

There seemed to be voices in the yard, "Miss" "Miss", and then footsteps approached quickly.

With a snap, the door opened. Xie Yuan looked in astonishment as a pink figure rushed in and stepped directly on a loose floor tile at the door.

Xie Lingyun staggered slightly, then quickly steadied herself, her brows raised.

"What's up with the bricks in your room?"

How could the Xie family have unlaid floor tiles? There is no doubt that Xie Yuan did it himself.

Xie Yuan looked at her in silence. He didn't expect that the first guest of this little mechanism would be this girl. Although she only tilted her head for a moment, this moment was enough for Xie Yuan to strike several times with his sword.

Xie Yuan did not move, sitting on the bed, and said in confusion:

"Why did you come to my place so early?"

No knock on the door yet.

Xie Lingyun didn't know why, but when she heard him say "here" so easily, she became very angry and sneered:

"You've already treated this place as your home so quickly!"

Xie Yuan was confused, he actually didn't have any either.

But seeing that Xie Lingyun was very cute when she was angry, he thought that she was still his sister, so he didn't bother with her and smiled:

"Why are you being so arrogant so early in the morning? Get out first, and wait for me to wash up and change clothes."

Xie Lingyun snorted coldly:
"Are you still chasing us away? Just do your thing, what's so shameful about that? Anyway, we are... humph."

Seeing that she was acting strangely, Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows and simply lifted the quilt to get up. After all, he was not naked.

As a result, when Xie Lingyun saw him stand up, she glanced at him, blushed immediately, muttered "obscene", and jumped out.

Then he tripped over a floor tile.

"Someone, come here! Quickly replace all the floor tiles here!"

Xie Yuan shook his head, quickly finished washing up, changed into outer clothes, then walked out of the bedroom and looked at the figure in a pink skirt standing on the steps in front of him with her arms folded.

"Ling Yun..."

Xie Yuan paused for a moment, and suddenly felt uncomfortable with what he was called, so he just said:
"What have you been busy with these days? We live and die together, but in the end, I haven't seen you."

Xie Yuan smiled.

Xie Lingyun turned around and saw that he was dressed properly, with clear features and a neat blue shirt. He looked very decent in the Xie family's clothes, and it was hard to tell that he grew up in the mountains. Her eyes lit up, but then her face darkened:

"My father asked me to come and pay my respects to you, my brother, today!"

She uttered the word "brother" with gritted teeth, which made Xie Yuan feel at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"We are about the same age. It doesn't matter if you don't want to call me brother. We have been through the ruins together, so we are good brothers."

Xie Yuan chuckled.

Xie Lingyun bit her lip and said:
"Is it because of this? I am not someone who doesn't distinguish between the old and the young. It's just that I never thought that your Xie is also from the Xie family of Chen County! And he is my cousin..."

She sighed and pouted.

Xie Yuan smiled slightly:
"You don't want to acknowledge me as your brother?"

"Of course not! No, it's not that I don't like you, but... do you remember what I said at Wangjiang Tower that day?"

Xie Lingyun blinked her big eyes.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuan looked at her sharp eyes and suddenly felt uncomfortable. Is this little girl so direct?

You can't be serious, right?

Xie Lingyun also felt a little awkward, but she still stared at Xie Yuan seriously:

"I wasn't kidding that day."

The courtyard was somewhat quiet, and the servants had all left early.

Xie Yuan was silent for a moment, feeling that the situation was a little tricky.

Although he had some vague guesses over the past few days, he guessed that the two of them had only fought side by side once, and it could not be said that they had a deep relationship - and it was also unclear whether they were joking or serious that day.

As a result, Xie Lingyun made it clear without any embarrassment, which made Xie Yuan a little at a loss as to how to respond.

Maybe she has been feeling embarrassed and sad for a long time these days?
Xie Yuan sighed:

"Lingyun, we are siblings...just a little bit worse than real siblings."

"You don't have to say it!"

Xie Lingyun gritted her teeth and said:

"Hey, why do you have to come back to the Xie family? You might as well cut off your relationship with the Xie family, then we won't be brother and sister anymore!"

Xie Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"Are you just trying to cover up your mistake? Our blood relationship will never be severed."

Xie Lingyun pursed her lips:
"Then let's go together! Elope together, together... mmm."

Xie Yuan's eyes widened, and he quickly covered her mouth. He looked around and whispered:
"Little aunt, are all the people in the Xie family so open in their speech?"

If other people heard this, it would be a big fuss. He had just returned to the clan land, and then kidnapped his cousin. This was so against etiquette and law that I'm afraid Xie Yuan would be nailed to the eternal pillar of shame.

But the most important thing is that Xie Yuan has no romantic feelings for his adopted sister.

Now Xie Yuan understood why he admired Xie Lingyun so much in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, and why he had a natural closeness and trust towards her, much more than the well-educated Wang Qishi.

They are indeed brother and sister who have been separated for many years. Perhaps this is the mysterious connection between them through blood.

However, Xie Yuan had also seen a corresponding statement before.

If it is between brothers and sisters who have been separated since childhood and meet again without knowing each other, they will be attracted to each other.

Xie Yuan felt helpless and was about to persuade her when he suddenly felt a dull sensation on his hand. He then discovered that Xie Lingyun had opened her little mouth and bit him viciously.

However, since Xie Yuan had the Golden Bell Cover on him, he naturally didn't feel anything. Instead, Xie Lingyun's brows were furrowed and she almost cried.

Xie Yuan had no choice but to let go and sighed:
"What are you doing? Are you born in the Year of the Dog?"

Xie Lingyun said viciously:
"It's all your fault! Why did you want to be my brother!"

Xie Yuan sighed:
"You're acting in an idol drama here? Are you serious about it?"

Xie Lingyun's eyes widened:
"I'm serious! I've never liked any other man since I was a child. My standards are very high!
“But, but, after meeting you in the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain, I found that no matter your cultivation strength, decisiveness, character, or appearance, you are all to my liking!

"I felt like the man I had imagined since childhood had really appeared, and I didn't want to give up. But... you happened to be my brother!"

Xie Lingyun's eyes were red:
"How come you are my brother?"

Xie Yuan sighed, not knowing what to say:

"Ling Yun..."

"Don't talk!"

Xie Lingyun snorted:
"I'm just telling you this. I wasn't joking with you that day. I was serious.

"But I don't need you to say anything. We have already completed the process of recognizing our ancestors. It's too late to say anything."

She sighed quietly, looking a little unlike herself:

"We'll be brother and sister from now on."

Xie Lingyun wiped her eyes with her sleeve and snorted:
"gone."

She looked at Xie Yuan with red eyes, seeming a little reluctant, but still turned and left.

Xie Yuan sighed and looked at the pink figure's back. The pair of ponytails were hanging down behind her, looking listless.

"correct."

Xie Lingyun suddenly stopped and tilted her head slightly:

"Be careful these few days, people will come to see you one after another."

Xie Yuan nodded indifferently and said:

"Ok."

When Xie Lingyun heard his tone, she curled her lips, said nothing, and left.

Is the Chenjun Xie family just a name for nothing? If you underestimate the Xie family, just wait to be beaten by other brothers and sisters!
Xie Lingyun thought viciously, and felt that she had vented her anger, so she smiled slightly.

Xie Yuan looked at the girl with twin ponytails jumping away again and shook his head.

After he had breakfast, he felt warm in his stomach, knowing that his breakfast was nutritious, so he went straight to the practice room to start practicing.

"I am almost done with the health-preserving skills. I will try to break through the Great Golden River Skill in the next few days."

Xie Yuan nodded and called out to the outside:

"Yunzhu."

"Master, what are your orders?"

A charming voice sounded, it was Yunzhu, his personal maid in this courtyard.

"Go to the pharmacy and get some Golden Wind Jade Dew Pills."

"Yes, young master." Xie Yuan sat upright on the cushion, holding a jade ruyi in his hand, and quietly practicing his internal energy.

Soon, there were soft footsteps at the door, and Yunzhu knocked on the door:
"Master, Yunzhu is back."

"come in."

With a creak, the door opened, and a pretty maid respectfully handed a porcelain bottle to Xie Yuan, then said:
"The pharmacy said your quota is one bottle per month. That's all they have. Please forgive me."

Xie Yuan held the porcelain bottle in his hand, remaining silent.

So one means one bottle... He thought it meant one pill.

Xie Yuan nodded:
"Thank you for your hard work. I need to practice now. You can go and have a rest."

Yunzhu smiled gently:
"What are you talking about, Master? Yunzhu is leaving now."

Turning around, the little maid blinked.

This young master is really interesting. He is too polite to others and doesn't even allow people to call themselves servants.

Really nice guy.

inside the room.

Xie Yuan shook the exquisite porcelain bottle and realized that there were "only" three pills in it.

"Golden Wind Jade Dew Pills, the holy medicine of the inner family, except for those rare treasures, this is the only one that can be used in daily life."

Xie Yuan sighed:

"It turns out to be one bottle... one bottle a month, and I can never finish it."

There should be at least a seven to ten day interval between each use of the medicine. Unless you only practice inner breathing, you will not be able to use up this bottle alone.

Is this the great family?
This is my home.

Xie Yuan pulled out the cork and poured out a pill that emitted a soft golden color. He rolled it in his hand and could smell the mellow medicinal fragrance.

He nodded, swallowed the pill, then sat cross-legged and began to practice.

A strong and endless stream of pure medicinal power began to emanate from Dantian.

In the Dantian, internal breath is generated naturally, and the internal energy of the Dajinhe Gong is like waves of a long river, but it is not a raging wave. Instead, it rushes forward step by step, and begins to flow along the meridians throughout the body, as if there is no end.

The pill fell into the stomach, just like an immortal's magic gourd constantly pouring golden and jade liquid into the internal breath, replenishing the internal force. The golden soft light wrapped the internal force and kept flowing in the meridians. Even though the internal breath continued to grow, it did not bring a sense of swelling and stagnation to the meridians. Obviously, the power of the medicine has simultaneously strengthened the strength of the meridians.

Xie Yuan was intoxicated by it, feeling the lustre brought by this top-grade magic medicine, just like a breeze blowing by, not only did he not feel any discomfort at all, but its effect was surprisingly strong.

His internal energy circulated for several cycles before he came to his senses. He quickly mobilized the health-preserving energy in a corner of his dantian, which was already very small in comparison, and moved it to the center of his dantian to receive the jade liquid.

If the Dajinhe Kungfu is like the raging waves and the rushing river, then the Yang Shen Kungfu is just a pot of clear water, standing aside.

However, this pot of clear water reflects all kinds of internal martial arts, which can be controlled and released freely. It is both this and that, and is implicitly in line with the mystery of Taoism.

Xie Yuan had marveled at the wonders of health-preserving exercises many times, even the Dajinhe exercises could be transformed, but now he still practiced health-preserving exercises first.

The jade liquid dripped into the clear water bottle, causing ripples that continued to spread out, as if nectar fell from heaven. The water level in the pot of clear water rose visibly and soon overflowed from the bottle.

Xie Yuan's spirits lifted, and he felt this already very familiar change. He followed the instructions of the technique and circulated it along the established route. Soon, it was put back into the bottle, and the capacity of the bottle became larger again.

Not long after taking the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill, his health-preserving skills had recovered to the fourth level without him noticing.

Xie Yuan looked calm and not at all moved by the breakthrough. He continued to practice according to the rhythm, slowly guiding the flow of internal energy in the health-preserving exercise.

In the clear water kettle, the water level of the clear spring kept increasing.

Several days passed.

In Xie Yuan's courtyard.

Several young but calm members of the Xie family gathered here and looked at Yunzhu.

"Is your young master still practicing?"

A leader asked in a deep voice.

Yunzhu looked extremely respectful:

"Replying to Master Yun, my master is still in seclusion."

Xie Yun frowned, but before he could say anything, a man next to him said impatiently:
"Why did this person go into seclusion as soon as he came back? Brother Yun has personally looked for him twice, but he always goes into seclusion. Is he afraid of fighting and is using this as an excuse to avoid fighting?"

"I think it's possible. He knows he can't beat Brother Yun, so he's trying to save face."

echoed another.

Xie Yun shook his head:
"This Xie Yuan has a good reputation, he may not be a coward. Let's go back and come back next time."

"Ok."

"We are about to review the allocation of training resources for the next season..."

"Hey, when your master comes out, remember to tell him that we came to see him and ask him to stop retreating next time and wait for us to come. Do you hear me?"

Someone advised.

Yunzhu bowed her head respectfully:
"Yes, Master Jing."

Xie Jing looked at her and nodded:

"She's quite good at recognizing people. She's a clever maid. Hey, Xie Yuan uses the best of everything when he comes..."

"Brother Jing, don't you want to replace the maid in your room? If you can beat Xie Yuan, just bring this maid over as well."

Someone next to me reminded.

Xie Jing's heart was pounding, and he said as he walked:

"No, it's not impossible. What's your name?"

"Master Jing, my name is Yunzhu."

Yunzhu lowered her eyebrows and said in a pleasing manner.

"Okay, I remember."

Xie Jing nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Yun Zhu say:

"Master Jing, Yunzhu was ordered by the mistress to serve Master Yuan, and she is used to it."

There was silence all around, and several young masters of the Xie family looked at each other.

Xie Jing's face fell, he snorted heavily, and walked away in a huff.

After those people left, Yun Zhu breathed a sigh of relief without showing any extra expression.

She just started working in the Xie family and was considered a very capable maid, otherwise she would not have been sent here.

However, contradicting the young masters in person was still a bit rash, even though the children of the Xie family were very well-behaved.

Yunzhu's heart skipped a beat. She was indeed a bit bold today.

But these young masters are very powerful in the family and have high cultivation. After all, she is really afraid that she will be defeated by her own young master...

Although she had only stayed for a few days, Yun Zhu felt that it was very easy to serve Xie Yuan, and she didn't even have to do anything every day.

Moreover, this young master is very polite to others... Yunzhu sometimes feels like she is not a servant anymore.

She suddenly became alert and secretly warned herself:

"Yunzhu, you are overstepping your authority."

Anyone who dares to speak like this today is nothing but greedy and lazy.

Yunzhu took a deep breath, reflected on himself, then walked to the training room and checked it carefully.

There was still no sign of the young master coming out, but everything seemed normal.

She nodded slightly and continued to wait nearby.

In the practice room.

Xie Yuan turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window and focused only on practicing Buddhism.

According to his calculations, the health-preserving exercises are basically enough.

Although it has not reached the fifth level yet, this level of health-preserving skills is enough to break through the Dajinhe Gong to the ninth level.

In a short period of time, the progress of the health-preserving exercises exceeded imagination and has reached the target progress.

He never imagined that this steady, steady, moderate and peaceful internal skill could improve as rapidly as a quick-learning evil skill.

Even though he had mastered this skill to perfection and could recite it by heart, the most important factor was naturally the power of the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill.

This is what is called a miraculous elixir. It is indeed much better than all the internal medicines he has used.

If we take it outside, it will probably cause a bloody storm.

And for such a good medicine, he can use three pills a month... Too corrupt.

In fact, the best and most efficient way to use the health-preserving exercises to transform internal energy is to push the health-preserving exercises to the fifth level of perfection before using them for transformation. This is the most efficient way.
However, Xie Yuan had just arrived in Chen County, so he wanted to improve his strength first.

The greatest improvement in strength at present is the breakthrough in Dajinhe Gong.

Therefore, after completing enough nourishing exercises, Xie Yuan used the remaining medicinal properties of the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pills to begin the transformation.

With the help of this still powerful medicinal property, even the transformation will come faster.

Xie Yuan's internal energy gradually accelerated, the water level in the jade bottle of the health-preserving skill decreased little by little, while the waves of the Dajinhe skill became more and more violent.

He sat upright in the room. There was a faint sound of waves in the entire training room. It was his inner breath that affected the air around him.

I don’t know how long it will take.

Xie Yuan's whole body moved suddenly, and the internal energy in his Dantian suddenly surged, and then quickly subsided, becoming calm and peaceful, like still waters with deep currents.

[Dajinhe Kung Fu·1th level: (9000/)]

The river has become wider again.

It appears calm, but it is turbulent inside, enough to create waves bigger than ever before in an instant and drown the invading enemy.

Xie Yuan opened his eyes, pressed his palms downward, and slowly ended his energy, as if soothing the waves.

He blinked, picked up a black mineral specially used to test palm power, stacked up four layers of internal energy, and slapped with all his might.

bang——

A deep palm print was imprinted on the square ore that looked like a stone pillar, with many cracks on it.

Xie Yuan compared the ones he had left behind before the breakthrough and showed a hint of satisfaction:

"This Great Golden River Technique, one level is a mountain, two levels is a heaven, it's not an empty statement."

The palm power now is much deeper than before. Even the exotic minerals that are difficult to be completely destroyed by those below the Grandmaster level are not only pressed down, but also have many cracks.

But then again, this ore is top-notch material for making protective gear. It's such a priceless piece, but it's only used for testing.

Xie Yuan stood up and moved around, feeling fuller inside. The feeling of abundant internal energy gave him great confidence, and his fists and palms became more powerful.

"My body is a little stiff. How long have you been in seclusion?"

Xie Yuan himself was a little unsure, and felt that it might be about ten days?
He called out:
"Yunzhu. Yunzhu?"

After a long while, no one responded.

Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows. Since moving into this compound, Yunzhu has been both his personal maid and his housekeeper, taking care of everything in great detail and in perfect order.

Moreover, she is always nearby. When he wants to see her, he doesn't need to call her a second time. When he doesn't want to see her, she just stands quietly nearby where he can't see her. He won't even let her go to rest.

I've been in seclusion for too long, is she tired of it?
Xie Yuan didn't take it seriously. He got up and went out. He saw another personal maid rushing in at the door and said respectfully:
"Master, you are out of confinement."

"Shijian, where is Yunzhu?"

Xie Yuan asked.

Although Shi Jian was also a personal maid, she was a "martial" maid.

Children of noble families usually have two personal attendants around them, one civil and one military. Yunzhu is responsible for taking care of all his affairs, while Shijian is responsible for "protecting" him and providing some assistance during his training.

Although Xie Yuan does not need protection, the rules still apply. After all, many playboys are not necessarily very good at martial arts.

Shi Jian has four levels of cultivation, but she is not as gentle and considerate as Yun Zhu, and she is also a bit of a martial arts fanatic. Xie Yuan asked her to practice martial arts by herself when she had nothing to do, and she didn't need two people to watch over her, so she listened to his advice...

"Master Yun and others are here to visit, Yunzhu is waiting on them."

Shi Jian said in a serious tone.

Xie Yuan glanced at her and raised his eyebrows:
"lead the way."

In the reception room.

Yunzhu looked respectful, but felt a little embarrassed when he saw the young masters who were clinging to him.

"Master Yun, Master Jing, my master is still in seclusion, and he may not come out soon."

Yunzhu added hot tea to the two of them and whispered.

Before the leader Xie Yun could speak, Xie Jingxian drooped his eyelids and said:
"Are you not welcome as a guest?"

Yun Zhu was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"Of course not, it's just that the young master in charge is not here, and I dare not delay the young masters for too long."

Xie Jing looked at Yun Zhu, whose attitude was gentle yet firm, and curled his lips.

I'm afraid it would be difficult to find a few servants in the Xie family who dare to speak to him like this.

What a loyal servant he is, with a smart mind and well-behaved looks. Why can't he be in my room?
Xie Jing snorted:
"How long will Xie Yuan remain in seclusion? It's been so long. What kind of cultivation would require so much time? Are you kidding me? If you don't dare, just say you don't dare! I'm really angry. None of my Xie family members are cowardly!"

Xie Yun also frowned and said:

"Go and tell them that we are here to visit you and ask Xie Yuan to come out as soon as possible. He shouldn't need to stay in seclusion for that long, right?"

Yun Zhu gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Master Yun, if you rashly wake him up during his retreat, there might be consequences..."

"Do you know how to practice, or do I know how to practice?"

Xie Yun snorted, his eyes widened, and the powerful momentum of the third level of Qi and Blood could no longer be suppressed.

Yun Zhu's face turned pale. Although she had practiced martial arts before, it was only twice. She could hardly bear this kind of momentum.

Fortunately, Xie Yun quickly regained his temper, took a sip of tea from the cup, and suppressed his temper.

It would not sound good if people in the Xie family spread the news that he was getting angry at the servants.

"Xie Yuan doesn't know how to discipline his servants. There are no rules at all."

Xie Yun snorted and found an excuse.

He was no longer as patient and polite as he had been before. In fact, half a month had passed and the resource allocation for the next quarter was about to be determined.

Xie Yun had secretly looked at the list through his connections and discovered that the Jinfeng Yulu Pills, which were available once every six months, had been delayed for another six months. After quietly asking about it, he immediately understood why.

He had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation and urgently needed this top-notch elixir to break through. Although he might not be able to get this elixir even if it was released, it was better than nothing.

Cultivation resources are the top priority for any of the Xie family’s children who have some aspirations. Without resources, progress is slow, and with even fewer resources, it becomes a vicious cycle.

The Xie family has a strong martial tradition and encourages everyone to compete. After all, martial arts requires competition, and many masters have emerged from generation to generation.

There is fierce competition in the family, especially with the arrival of Xie Yuan, a huge catfish. The space for others is even more limited, and some people can't help but feel anxious.

Xie Yun was just the one who couldn't wait to take the lead. There were actually quite a few people behind him who were just watching.

It's just that Xie Yuan has been in seclusion and not responding, which made these people even more anxious. They secretly cursed the guy from outside for being cunning, full of small tricks, and not having the demeanor of a gentleman at all.

What kind of seclusion? What kind of profound skill needs to be practiced in seclusion for fifteen days? He must be secretly hugging his girlfriend in the inner courtyard and watching the jokes of himself and others! By the time everything is settled, it will be too late!
The more Xie Yun thought about it, the angrier he became. He stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice:
"I can't wait any longer! Where is Xie Yuan in seclusion? Let's go find him right now!"

Xie Jing and several other followers stood up together and were about to go to the back of the reception room with Xie Yun.

Yunzhu was very anxious. She knew that Xie Yuan was really in seclusion, and after such a long time, it must be an extraordinary breakthrough.

How can I allow these people to disturb me at such a critical moment? I might even go crazy!

But no matter what she said, these guys just didn't believe it and insisted on going to see it for themselves!
Yunzhu was about to reach out to stop him in a hurry.

Xie Yun frowned immediately. How could a servant dare to stand in front of the young master? At least she was not a maid in his room, otherwise she would definitely be slapped.

She is so unruly, a wild maid brought up by a wild man.

Xie Jing felt sour in his heart, what a good maid, the more I look at her, the better she is. The only bad thing is that she doesn't come to his place.

He was somewhat emotional, and reached out to flick it gently. Although he didn't use too much force, he was a warrior in the third transformation realm after all. Yun Zhu couldn't stand for a moment, and retreated to the side. His back hit the wall heavily, and he snorted.

Xie Yun frowned suddenly, but before he could say anything, a figure flashed over and supported Yun Zhu.

Xie Yuan asked in a low voice:

"Yunzhu, are you okay?"

His face looked a little gloomy. How come after he had been in seclusion for half a month, someone came to bully his personal maid?

"Master, I'm fine. I just couldn't stand still!"

Yunzhu saw his expression and said quickly.

Xie Jing was stunned for a moment, and felt even more sad.

When Xie Yun saw Xie Yuan, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes:
"Xie Yuan, you've been hiding from me for fifteen days, and you're finally willing to come out?"

Xie Yuan looked at him, sized him up and down, frowning:
"Who are you?"

It seemed that he had never seen it before, but maybe he had seen it. He couldn't even tell the difference between the Grandmasters, let alone these three levels of transformation?
Xie Yun's face darkened, he snorted, and without introducing himself, he continued:
"Now that you are out, please give me some advice!"

"Row."

Xie Yuan heard this and without further ado, he pushed out with his palm. (End of this chapter)
