I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 334 Where did you learn this shooting skill?

Yunzhou Prefecture.

Situ Qin's mansion.

At the entrance of the treasury.

The director of spiritual medicine, the treasurer, as well as Li Tai and Aunt Hong, all had their eyes widened when they saw Situ Qin, like a wanderer returning from a long journey, taking out those rare treasures from the big bag on his back as if they were local specialties.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Flower..."

"Nine-leaf firefly grass..."

"Earth Vein Vine..."

"Miss, are you going to put these things like this?"

Even the pharmacy manager, who respected Situ Qin very much, twitched slightly at this moment.

A big package to wrap up all these priceless treasures and bring them back?

Even the well-informed people in the palace couldn't help but feel a little confused when looking at these rare treasures.

Li Tai looked at the package behind Xie Yuan, which was also bulging, and couldn't help but reveal a strange look:

"Have you emptied the Sky Garden?"

"Not yet, what a pity, I lost a lot!"

Situ Qin sighed:
"There are only two of us with four hands. We really can't take it down."

"..."

Everyone was silent.

The things that Situ Qin brought back could all be placed on the upper floors even in her warehouse, and several of them could be placed on the top floor.

Xie Yuan visited Situ Qin's treasure house with great interest. Although he had seen many things here, this was the first time he had seen them.

The golden light was shining, and the inspiration was running rampant. The entire warehouse was ablaze, and Xie Yuan's face was glowing.

Even with Xie Yuan's current knowledge, he had to admit that Situ Qin was indeed a super rich woman.

The rich legacy that King Pingxi had accumulated after conquering the Western Regions and being the first person in the royal family for many years, as well as the many things that Situ Wan had given her, were beyond the reach of many large sects.

"Is there anything you want? Feel free to take it."

Situ Qin said with a smile something that Xie Yuan had only heard in his dreams.

Unfortunately, he doesn't need it now.

Just like many things, you can’t reach them when you want them, and when you can buy them, you can never find that desire again.

However, Xie Yuan would never suck other people's blood with a clear conscience at any time.

He just looked at it for the sake of visiting, then shook his head and said:

"I don't lack anything."

Situ Qin said "oh" with curved eyebrows:

"The poor escort leader Xie has become the richest man in the world, the head of the Xie family."

Xie Yuan laughed and said:

"You're making fun of me again."

"I'm happy for you."

Situ Qin's smile shines brighter than the light in the treasure house.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Recalling the situation when they first met, and then looking at the two of them now, both of them felt as if they were in a lifetime ago.

Situ Qin glanced at the jagged broken sword hanging on Xie Yuan's waist and said thoughtfully:

"Here you take a sword."

She led Xie Yuan to where the swords were hidden and pointed at the shining, cold swords:

"Flame Dragon. The sword tip is always hot, breaking ordinary armor like melting tofu. When activated by spiritual power, the sword tip burns with fire, and its power is unpredictable, just like a flame dragon, hence the name. You already have an ice-attributed dragon soul, so this flame dragon, regardless of its name and attributes, is suitable for your spear.

"Look at this Hanying. When it moves, its shadow disappears, without any sound or movement, and it is hard to tell where it is. Needless to say, its edge is extremely cold, and ordinary Xuan weapons cannot compare to it. It is very suitable for you.

"and this……"

Situ Qin introduced several powerful mysterious weapons in succession, which were obviously also valuable items in her treasure trove.

Xie Yuan was quite impressed. Situ Qin's hidden weapons were of high quality and would be very easy for him to use.

However, although the long sword is sharp, Xie Yuan now wants a sharp axe more.

Even though he now has many means and a high level of accomplishment, he no longer needs to fight with an axe every time, but he always feels insecure without an axe.

But Xie Yuan is now proficient in spear, sword and axe. The dragon spirit will naturally not leave his body, so he also has to carry an axe. And since he has the Floating Light Sword, how can he not have a sharp sword that can kill with one blow?
But that would be too much to carry. The Jiao Soul was a big spear, and it was very inconvenient to carry a big axe, not to mention a cross-sword.

It would be best if I could just hang a long sword that can transform into a variety of different shapes like before, but what a pity...

Xie Yuan looked at the tattered sawtooth in his hand and sighed:

"This thing is still handy."

Situ Qin looked at it and said with some regret:

"I really don't have this kind of wonderful weapon."

Seeing Situ Qin looking a little annoyed, Xie Yuan couldn't help but laugh and patted her head:

"What are you doing? It's not your fault. Besides, if there are treasures like this in your treasury, I can't just take them casually, right?"

Upon hearing this, Situ Qin said seriously:

"Why can't you just take it? My warehouse is your warehouse, there is no difference between yours and mine."

Xie Yuan's eyes softened and he smiled:

"That's right. Mine is the same."

When Situ Qin heard him say this, she smiled with curved eyebrows:

"I succeeded! I can make a fortune by exchanging your Chenjun Xie family's clan treasury."

Xie Yuan laughed and said:

"Okay, okay, it's all yours."

Situ Qin still wanted Xie Yuan to carry a powerful weapon, but although Xie Yuan felt that they were all top-notch weapons, they would still be a bit of a burden, so he shook his head.

Situ Qin had no choice but to obey him, and the two of them left the treasure house empty-handed, which surprised Li Tai who was guarding outside.

Li Tai saw Xie Yuan still holding the broken sword. After listening to the two's explanation, he thought for a moment and said slowly:
"I remember that the prince seized a strange soft gold in the Western Regions. It can also change at will, but its texture is very hard."

Situ Qin uttered a sound, with a bewildered expression:
"Do we still have this kind of thing in Curry?"

"Miss, the list is complete, but you didn't look carefully..."

Situ Qin smiled embarrassedly:
"The list is too long, who can remember the whole thing?"

She immediately became excited:
"Where is it? Let's get it now."

Li Tai just nodded, his figure flashed, and he came back three breaths later with a lump of golden ore in his hand.

Xie Yuan looked at it curiously, and saw that Li Tai used a little force to casually rub the ore to shape it. After it was shaped, it became solid and hard, and it was extremely difficult to damage. His eyes suddenly lit up:
"It is indeed similar to the material of my Hundred Transformation Mysterious Weapon."

"After all, they are all things from the Western Regions."

Li Tai nodded and handed the ore to Xie Yuan.

Situ Qin clapped his hands and said:

"Great! This way you might have a chance to repair this wonderful weapon."

Xie Yuan was also quite happy. It would be best if he could repair the Hundred Transformations Mysterious Weapon.

"Haha, there is indeed a chance. But if you want to completely repair it, you still need a chance."

However, we have only solved the material problem now. It is probably not easy to find a way to forge this thing and engrave the formation on it.

Situ Qin understood what he meant, but smiled and said:
"What are you afraid of? You are an expert in formations, don't you have some that you are very familiar with?"

She said with a smile.

Miss, this tone...

Li Tai glanced at Xie Yuan secretly, secretly sympathizing with him, even though it was his own fault... Aunt Hong nodded slightly, with relief in her eyes. The young lady has finally grown up.

Xie Yuan laughed dryly:
"But it has to be the soft gold mine given by Miss Qin, otherwise a good cook cannot cook without rice."

A clever wife? She is a clever wife? What is a young lady? Does it mean that the woman is virtuous and kind, while the young lady is only a spendthrift?
Aunt Hong is indeed a master with many years of experience. As soon as she thought about it, many boxing techniques flashed in her mind. She was looking forward to how the increasingly mature young lady would attack.

Situ Qin smiled slightly and said:
"As long as it's useful. Let's go, it's time to eat!"

She looked at the sky and excitedly pulled Xie Yuan away.

Aunt Hong was stunned, and shook her head and sighed:

"The new Grandmaster is just not competitive and decisive. But... this is also good."

Li Tai frowned beside him:
"You can't be indecisive when you attack. As a master, you must use lightning speed to defeat the enemy in one move. You must not give the opponent any chance to react."

Aunt Hong rolled her eyes:
"Although there's nothing wrong with what you said, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."

She turned around and walked away gracefully, leaving Li Tai standing there alone, confused.

Lakeside pavilion.

The sound of the piano was like spring water, and Xie Yuan, sitting aside, listened to it in fascination.

After dinner, I listened to a piece of celestial music while sitting by the lake. In the distance, the lake reflected the blue sky, and nearby, a beautiful woman played the piano. This day is priceless.

It was a pity that Xie Yuan was about to leave. Xie Yi's prescription was finally complete, and Xie Yuan, who had the treasure in his hand, was ready to return to Chen County immediately. It was a luxury to be able to stay here for half a day.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuan felt a little melancholy.

Looking at Situ Qin, who was quietly playing the piano with a hint of reluctance unconsciously revealed in her eyes and brows, he moved his butt and ran to the fence.

"Ah! What are you doing?"

Situ Qin exclaimed softly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Lie down for a while. I'm tired from eating."

Xie Yuan rested his head on Situ Qin's thigh and adjusted himself to a comfortable position. When he opened his eyes, he found that he could not see Situ Qin's face. He felt both regretful and relieved.

Situ Qin spat. Although her pretty face was flushed, she felt more and more uncomfortable, especially when she felt the strange but silent gazes of several personal maids.

But she did not chase Xie Yuan away. She just took a breath, quickly tuned the out-of-tune piano back to normal, and continued playing for the shameless man on her lap.

Gradually, the two became familiar with this posture and it became more and more natural.

The piano music is gentle, and the lake breeze is blowing gently, creating ripples.

Even though he was reluctant, Xie Yuan still had to go.

I said goodbye to Situ Qin at the long pavilion outside the city of Yunzhou, and I had to send him off to Yundong County in the east.

Xie Yuan waved his hands vigorously, turned around, strode away, and gradually his figure disappeared on the road.

In fact, Situ Qin is now very strong and can go anywhere. Xie Yuan is in need of help. If she can be with him, it will be a great help - even if there is no help, it will make him feel much better.

It’s a pity that even though he can go to the Western Regions, Chen County is still a place that Situ Qin finds difficult to set foot in now.

Xie Yuan noticed Situ Qin's hesitation several times, and he just sighed in his heart. He didn't want to make a promise easily, but thought secretly:
"I am now a master, and my position as the head of the family should be more secure. If I wait until I return this time and let my second uncle recover, this matter should be settled."

He and Situ Qin have known each other for many years and have been through many hardships together. Their feelings for each other have long been firm. Although they are still young, it is not too early to talk about marriage in this life, not to mention that Situ Qin is actually a little older than him. He should make his heart known to the woman he likes as soon as possible and not let her wait in vain.

Although it was not exactly the same, Xie Lun and Li Lan also dragged it out and left with regrets. "But even if we solve this problem, my mother-in-law's problem..."

Xie Yuan hesitated. He had already met with Situ Wan and felt that he had received her approval.

But if Situ Qin really wanted to marry into the Xie family of Chenjun, would she have no objection? Her mood and opinions might change at any time.

Xie Yuan sighed slightly, feeling that even though their relationship was as strong as gold, there were still many challenges beyond the two of them.

Moreover, there is Miss Mu... Xie Yuan frowned slightly. He didn't want to give up any of them, but although neither of them said anything, to be honest, could they easily agree?
Xie Yuan exhaled and felt a little headache.

Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Xie Yuan nodded with a profound gaze, and then quickly fled in the direction of Chen County.

Two days later.

Although Yunzhou and Yuzhou are far apart, Xie Yuan traveled day and night, relying on the master's leg strength and the help of the Floating Light and Shadow mental method, and he arrived back in two days.

In the master's courtyard.

"Aunt, I'm back."

Xie Yuan bowed to Cui Pingjun and said in a deep voice.

Cui Pingjun looked at Xie Yuan, opened her eyes, and said:
"You're back! Thank you for your hard work along the way..."

She paused, feeling Xie Yuan's undisguised powerful aura, and said absentmindedly:
"Yuan'er, are you really a master?"

"Yes, aunt. This trip has been very fruitful. I am glad that you have fulfilled your mission, nephew."

Xie Yuan solemnly took out two sealed medicine boxes containing the golden mandala and the newly born red spider lily.

Cui Pingjun clenched her hands, bit her lips tightly, stared at the two boxes, unable to speak.

She actually wanted to ask about this the first time, but Xie Yuan had been traveling for so long that she had to use a lot of effort to hold back from asking.

Moreover, she was afraid that she would not get a satisfactory answer after asking.

but now……

Cui Pingjun's hands were even shaking a little. She took the two boxes, took a deep breath, and opened them.

A strange fragrance and golden light lit up, illuminating her eyes.

Cui Pingjun's eyes were filled with tears. She quickly closed the two boxes, tightly grasped them, and said in a trembling voice:

"Yuan'er, I really don't know what to do..."

"Aunt, are you going to say something like this to me?"

Xie Yuan smiled and said:

"He's also my second uncle! Isn't it my duty to do this?

"When my second uncle first met me, he told me that he saved me without asking for anything in return, and he didn't thank me for saving Lingyun. That day I knew that this is how a family should be."

Cui Pingjun nodded repeatedly:
"You're right. It was my aunt who lost her composure. Hey, let your second uncle tell you the rest when he wakes up!"

She looked radiant and energetic, and was already imagining what Xie Yi would look like when he woke up.

Xie Yuan looked at it and felt a little worried. He organized his words and said:

"Aunt, this recipe has never been put into practice..."

"I see."

Cui Pingjun said:
"But there is always hope. And... I always feel that this recipe is useful."

At this time, Xie Lingyun had already rushed into the house. After hearing the whole story, her two ponytails swung back and forth in excitement:

"I think so too! You are amazing. You managed to get such a treasure back single-handedly! God shouldn't let your efforts go to waste! Dad will definitely wake up!"

Xie Lingyun shook Xie Yuan's arm with her little hands, blinking her eyes:

"Grandmaster! That's amazing! Tell me, how did you achieve this breakthrough? Humph, even though you are the youngest Grandmaster in the Xie family now, I will definitely break your record in a year!"

"I would really like that."

Xie Yuan smiled and rubbed the head of Xie Lingyun, who was both impressed and dissatisfied, and took her out to tell her about the process of breaking through to become a Grandmaster, as well as the interesting things he saw in the Western Regions.

Cui Pingjun started to get busy, preparing the herbs she had collected earlier. Now that the ingredients for the prescription were complete, she just had to wait for them to be boiled and given to Xie Yi to take, and everything would be clear.

Xie Yuan didn't stay here for too long. He asked Xie Lingyun to help her mother and went to Xie's armory again.

After reaching the summit without any obstructions, Xie Yuan greeted the guards who were already very familiar with him with a smile, receiving their respectful gazes.

No matter what disputes there are within the family, these guards who have dedicated themselves to the Xie family armory have always been convinced by Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan's rise can be said to have come from here, as witnessed by these guards.

From the moment they made their way up to meet Xie Fu at a high level, these guards were quite impressed with this direct descendant of the Xie family who had returned home halfway.

When Xie Yuan reached the peak of the Third Transformation Realm at a rapid speed, surpassing the Grandmaster, the guards all supported him to become the head of the family. If such a martial arts genius doesn't become the head of the family, who else in the Xie family is qualified to be the head of the family? The guards of the armory naturally only recognize martial arts talent.

However, today, the guards looked at Xie Yuan, who had not been there for a long time, and after greeting him, they always felt that something was strange.

"Hey, the patriarch just went over there, why does it feel different from before?"

"Has it been too long since you came?"

"Yes, it's just that I haven't seen him for a long time. He looks no different from those elders. What's the difference?"

Several people were whispering, and when they got to this point, they suddenly lowered their voices.

They looked at each other and finally realized what was wrong with Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan, who walked up, had a very similar aura to those elders who went to consult the classics. They were clearly in the same realm.

"He is already a Grandmaster?"

"It seems, as if, yes."

Someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, which even alarmed some disciples in the building.

However, the guards could not control their expressions. Their eyes were wide open and their mouths were wide open. After a long while, they said:
"He's only twenty years old...too young."

"This is the head of our Xie family!"

"Yes, I fought him in a lily battle, but unfortunately I lost in half a move. It was a pity! But at that time I knew that he would definitely become a master soon, otherwise he would not be able to defeat me!"

One guard puffed out his chest proudly.

The eighth floor of the armory.

A thin old man dressed in black stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Xie Yuan who appeared from the stairs.

Before Xie Yuan could salute, Xie Fu's eyes flashed with golden light, and he looked up and down and shouted:
"Great! Not only has he made a breakthrough, but his foundation is solid. It's not as superficial as I imagined!"

Xie Fu's face flushed, and he was obviously very happy. But he immediately said:

"But your cultivation has increased so much compared to when you first became a Grandmaster... There's even some undigested spiritual medicine in your body? This extra energy is a bit unstable. Did you break through by taking medicine? No, taking medicine can't make your foundation so solid, as solid as practicing for ten years to lay a foundation."

Xie Fu talked to himself without waiting for Xie Yuan to speak.

His brows furrowed instantly, and he said earnestly:
"Xie Yuan, you are already practicing very fast, so you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. It's good to take a break sometimes. You just made a breakthrough and you want to reach the peak again. Isn't this a bit too aggressive?"

It was rare for Xie Fu to persuade Xie Yuan to take a rest. It seemed that he also felt that Xie Yuan's cultivation was too fast.

Xie Yuan couldn't help but admire Xie Fu's eyesight, as he could see his condition clearly at a glance. Of course, it was also because he returned to the clan and no longer concealed it, intending to let the elders see it clearly.

He cupped his hands and said:

"Elder Fu, I also encountered a situation this time, and I had no choice."

Xie Yuan explained the general situation, which made Xie Fu stunned and silent for a moment.

The old master frowned slightly, wanting to blame Xie Yuan for being reckless and confused, but thinking that he was trying to seize the elixir for Xie Yi and was full of filial piety, he sighed:

"In the future, when you do things... you should put yourself first. Even if Xie Yi wakes up, he will definitely not be willing to do it if he knows that you took the risk to get it. You have a heavy burden now, so you must think twice before you act."

"Elder Fu, everything I saved was decided after careful consideration."

Xie Yuan explained with a smile, then took out a green fruit that looked like a gourd:

"Elder Fu, I gained a lot in the Sky Garden this time. Many things have been added to the clan treasury. This is specially left for you."

Xie Fu subconsciously wanted to wave his hand to refuse, but when he saw the Jade Gourd Fruit, he was stunned and sighed:

"Have a heart."

Xie Fu had practiced martial arts for too many years, and although he had extremely high talent and top-notch conditions, he still had some hidden injuries that prevented him from achieving perfection.

This type of injury is not serious, and almost every warrior has it. However, if one wants to pursue the highest level, everything must be perfect.

Xie Fu’s problem had been there for a long time, so he needed a special precious medicine - such as this Jade Gourd Fruit, which could heal the most minor injuries to his Dantian.

However, this thing is also a rare treasure from heaven and earth, and it has been difficult to find for many years.

If Xie Fu didn't want the other things, he might as well give them to the young man, but this thing was indeed useful to him.

I guess Xie Yuan kept it in mind and made a special trip to pick it for him.

Xie Yuan laughed and said:

"It's just handy. I grabbed a bunch there. I couldn't help but see it. I brought one back to satisfy your craving."

Xie Fu smiled, put away the Jade Gourd Fruit solemnly, and then asked:

"Have you thought of a solution to this problem?"

Xie Yuan nodded:
"In fact, it has already been resolved. I refined it with blood and energy, slowly digested it, and turned it into my own body. Then I practiced steadily for a period of time to lay a solid foundation."

Xie Fu nodded slightly:

"This is a steady method. Well, what do you think of your practice during this period?"

Xie Yuan's expression straightened:
"Of course it's the Burning Heaven and Exterminating Dao Spear. I want to learn the whole book - the last few moves, as well as the mental method."

Xie Fu nodded with satisfaction:
"Of course, the Burning Heaven and Exterminating Dao Spear should be the main one. Well, you have already learned three moves. I think with your current state and understanding of spear techniques, learning the next four moves should not be a difficult task for you."

If it were any other young Grandmaster who had just broken through and wanted to learn the full Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear, Xie Fu would not think it would be easy.

But Xie Yuan had already comprehended the three moves when he was still in the Qi and Blood Transformation Stage. This was unprecedented in recent years. How could he have difficulty in getting started with the spear technique?
Xie Fu had full confidence in Xie Yuan, but still said:
"Practice the first three moves first. I'll see what changes will happen after you become a Grandmaster."

Xie Yuan nodded obediently and began to practice the first three moves of the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear.

Watching Xie Yuan take action, Xie Fu stroked his beard and nodded secretly:
"Yes, he has become more comfortable after becoming a Grandmaster. Judging from his posture, he is a little more skilled than before..."

When Xie Fu saw Xie Yuan take action, he suddenly stopped and his eyes gradually widened.

Half an hour passed.

Xie Yuan practiced the first three moves with ease, put away his gun and stood still, only to find that Xie Fu did not move.

He turned around and saw Xie Fu staring with a look of surprise and doubt.

Xie Fu took a breath and steadied his slightly trembling voice:

"Um, Xie Yuan, I didn't see it clearly, please try it again."

Didn't see clearly?
Elder Fu, who could see the condition of his body at a glance, didn’t he see his own marksmanship clearly?
Xie Yuan looked a little strange, and at the same time he was wondering if there was something wrong with his movements, so he quickly practiced again.

This time, he used his shooting skills more seriously and better than last time.

After all, he had some insights when he was in the Tower of Babel. Xie Yuan's first three moves, Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear, and Peace on Earth, were already at a small level of success. He was also proficient in Ten Thousand Enemies and Nine Netherworlds Demon Slayer, which were not low at all.

After the drill, Xie Yuan put away his gun and looked at Xie Fu, only to see that his expression had become more serious, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Xie Fu managed to suppress his expression with great difficulty. After a long silence, he finally managed to ask:
"Let me ask you, where did you learn this shooting skill?"
