I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

After hearing Xie Fu's question, Xie Yuan nodded twice and said:
"Elder Fu, I learned this from you in the armory."

"I can't teach you to this level."

Xie Fu waved his hands, looking full of emotion and wanting to say something, but in the end he just opened his mouth and sighed:
"I have been in the Xie family arsenal for my entire life and have seen many talented people in the family, including Xie Xuan, Xie Yi, Xie Bing, Xie Wen, and Xie Zhi... I never thought there would be someone as talented as you.

"Perhaps, you really have the talent to rival that of our ancestor Xie An."

Xie Fu listed a long list of names, all of whom were or are the top masters and big names of the Chenjun Xie family, including Xie Yuan's own father who had achieved the status of a grandmaster at a young age.

These brilliant geniuses who were once famous and are now well-known martial arts masters, in Xie Fu's eyes, are not as good as Xie Yuan, a "good material".

Although only the word "good talent" was used to describe Xie Yuan, it was obvious that this good talent was better than all the geniuses Xie Fu had ever seen in his life.

Many people, including Xie Fu himself, have said that Xie Yuan may have the talent of his ancestors, but it was not until today that Xie Fu felt that perhaps this was more than just a hopeful compliment.

Xie Fu sighed, but didn't say anything else. He just waved his hand, and a shining book flew from the bookshelf to Xie Yuan.

"With your aptitude, it won't be difficult to practice in the future. You should master the following moves as soon as possible, and then comprehend the mental method, so that you can fully exert the power of this spear technique."

Xie Yuan solemnly took the original of the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear, bowed, and then sat cross-legged on the side, studying the technique.

Xie Fu looked at Xie Yuan who was quickly getting into the state, stroked his beard, and thought curiously:

“I wonder how long it will take him to comprehend the following moves?
"Not counting the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao, there are still four more moves to come. Even for him, if he wants to master them all..."

Xie Fu thought for a moment and made a very bold guess:

"One month? No, half a month. With his current understanding of the first few moves, he may be able to master four more moves within half a month or even ten days!"

If he really had the qualifications of our ancestor Xie An, he might be able to do this.

Xie Fu watched quietly, looking forward to it.

Within a few days, Xie Yuan did not leave the armory, but sat on the eighth floor to study.

It happened that two elders wanted to come up to learn the skills and consult Xie Fu, but they were directly driven out by Xie Fu and were not allowed to go upstairs.

One of the two elders was Xie Wen, who felt quite aggrieved and indignant.

Considering his status as the elder in charge of the pharmacy, which is one of the most important places in the clan, is there anyone in the clan who can stop him from reaching the eighth level?

However, when he heard that it was Xie Yuan who was fully participating in the research, Xie Wen, who felt uneasy, shut up immediately and left in shame under Xie Fu's unfriendly gaze.

"Xie Yuan said he was in seclusion some time ago, so he must have left quietly. This time he came back and was participating in research on the top floor. I wonder what he was doing? Why did he go out?"

Xie Wen's thoughts were changing. He felt that this guy might have done something big again. Would there be any changes in the clan again?
However, he had already made his attitude clear in advance, so he was not in a hurry. He was just thinking:

"You're in seclusion and studying, and you're practicing so fast, are you going to break through to the Grandmaster level soon? If you break through in the next two years, you'll be a Grandmaster in your early twenties. Hiss...

"When he completely breaks through to the Grandmaster level, his strength and status will be beyond doubt. Well, he is only 20 years old, and there are only a few in the thousand-year history of our Xie family... If he really has this level, what if I am completely devoted to him? Then he can perform well and continue to control the pharmacy."

Xie Wen nodded secretly. He already had many thoughts in his mind, but he remained expressionless and did not tell anyone else about his discovery.

Under Xie Fu's protection, Xie Yuan was not disturbed by anyone and spent three days studying the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear.

After three days and three nights, he slowly opened his eyes and awakened from the spiritual realm of the original book of the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear.

After closing the skills, Xie Yuan faced Xie Fu, who was looking expectant, and respectfully returned the skills.

Xie Fu waved his hand lightly, and the technique flew back to the depths of the bookshelf. Then he smiled and asked:

"Is there any harvest?"

"Slightly rewarding."

Xie Yuan nodded, picked up the spear, and bowed:
"Please correct me, Elder Fu."

Xie Fu was shocked.

He knew that Xie Yuan must have comprehended a move, otherwise he would not have given up the technique!

However, he was afraid of putting pressure on Xie Yuan, so he didn't ask directly whether he had learned any new moves.

One move in three days, such efficiency made Xie Fu a little excited.

Watching Xie Yuan wielding his spear, pointing it forward, with the aura of "I will go forward even if there are thousands of enemies", he used a magnificent and indomitable spear technique. Xie Fu nodded repeatedly and said:

"The fourth move of the Burning Heaven and Exterminating Dao Spear, the North Sea Slaying Saint."

This move was taken from the story of Xie An, who had tested the world with his spear and searched for possible opponents, and finally encountered a legendary tribe of remnants in the North Sea - a tribe with the divine blood of innate creatures from the barbaric times flowing in their bodies.

This reclusive tribe lives on a fairy island hidden deep in the sea. Although their members are few in number, each one of them is powerful and they call themselves the Holy Tribe.

The Saint Clan is extremely powerful, but they are inexplicably sealed on the Fairy Island and cannot get out.

Xie An broke the seal and wanted to have a friendly discussion with the other party. However, when the saints saw the seal was broken, they were all very excited and declared that the prophesied day had finally arrived and that the saints would return to the world and rule the earth.

Seeing that the other party was so unfriendly, Xie An fought against the strong men of the Holy Clan alone, killed several leading masters, then sealed the Holy Clan on the fairy island again and left.

"The ancestors wrote down this legendary story in their notebooks. Although the descendants never found the Fairy Island in the North Sea... the domineering, brave, and fearless spearmanship does have a bit of the meaning of killing a saint by one man. Well, Xie Yuan not only got started, but even mastered its artistic conception."

Watching Xie Yuan perform this spear technique completely without any hesitation in the last move, Xie Fu nodded repeatedly and twirled his beard with a look of satisfaction.

He was about to say something when his hand suddenly stopped and he almost pulled out his beard.

Xie Yuan did not stop and used a somewhat ethereal, mysterious and strange gun technique.

This style of spear technique is quite unique among the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spears. Its changes are similar to the Nine Nether Demons and the Devil's Wrath, but it is more erratic and has less obvious killing intent. It focuses on entanglement and defense, and is the only spear technique with defense as its theme.

"Fifth Style, Mist Source to Exorcise Demons..."

Xie Fu whispered.

This move originated from Xie An's experience of accidentally entering the habitat of demons.

More than a thousand years ago, although demons were already very rare in the world, they were not almost extinct like they are today.

Xie An accidentally entered the fog source, the ancestral land of the demon clan. While exploring, he challenged the powerful demon clan members. It is said that he and the leader of the demon clan became acquainted with each other after a fight and formed a good friendship with each other.

However, humans and demons cannot coexist, and Xie An and the demon king eventually parted ways, and this last shot...

A bolt of lightning pierced through the sky and lit up on the eighth floor.

Xie Yuan used the seventh and final move of the Mist Source to exorcise demons, and its power was suddenly very different from before.

All the accumulated strength from the previous six moves of fighting and defense was released in this one strike, sweeping away the evil spirit and wiping out all the enemies in front of him.

"The Burning Heaven Exterminating Dao Spear is a killing spear. Even if the first shot is a defense or a tug-of-war, the last shot is a sure kill. He realized this the first time he used it. It seems that he has understood three aspects of the Burning Heaven Exterminating Dao Spear. No wonder he was able to comprehend two moves so quickly. Three days..."

Xie Fu felt a little emotional, but suddenly found that Xie Yuan did not stop.

Xie Yuan's aura changed, his expression seemed to become indifferent, he shook his spear, and suddenly stabbed in all directions around him. The angle of each shot was different, but the power was the same, as if no matter what enemy stood in front of him, he would kill them with one shot.

Xie Fu's eyes widened, he could no longer control his expression, and whispered:
"The sixth move, the sixth move!" The sixth move of the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear is Dao Wuqing.

This style is not like the previous ones, as they are all improvements based on the spear techniques created by Xie An after his experiences when he was young or middle-aged.

This move was recreated by Xie An in his later years. It was the result of his painstaking efforts after he understood the true principles of spearmanship.

The gun is just as its name suggests, it no longer has many changes, emotions, or moods. The truth is simple and merciless.

Dao Wuqing's every move is extremely concise and sharp, with extremely fast speed and great power. It can be said that every move is a killing move, which is difficult to resist and extremely difficult.

Xie Fu stared blankly at Xie Yuan practicing Dao Wuqing's seven powerful spear techniques. He did not even marvel at the fact that Xie Yuan's understanding of spear techniques had reached the level where he could perform such advanced spear techniques. So he was not surprised to see that Xie Yuan was still practicing.

Looking at that move, Xie Fu's expression became numb.

He said in a low voice:
"The seventh move is to go to the azure sky."

This move is the culmination of the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear, summarizing the essence of the previous six moves.

When this move is used, it is like the spear of a banished immortal. Every move is unpredictable. It is as floating as an immortal. It should only go to the sky and not stay in the human world.

When Xie Yuan used all the remaining four styles of spear techniques in one breath, then put away his spear and stood up, soft applause was heard from the eighth floor.

Xie Fu's expression was very calm. He clapped his hands twice and said slowly:
“I still said it wrong.

“You have completely understood the charm of the Burning Heaven Exterminating Dao Spear, otherwise you would not be able to comprehend all the spear techniques at once and grasp the artistic conception thereof.

"You may not have the talent to match that of our ancestor Xie An, but in terms of talent, you are already on par with him."

Xie Yuan bowed his head and clasped his hands:

"Elder Fu, you are too kind. I am still far from it. After all, I have not yet mastered all the spear techniques. I have no idea about the last move, 'Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao'."

The Xie family's default Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear has a total of seven styles, each with seven moves.

But in fact, the essence of this spear and the origin of its name are the last spear skills left by Xie An when he returned to his family after fighting with Tian.

Xie Yuan did not comprehend the fiftieth move of the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear, Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao.

Thanks to his outstanding attainments in the first three styles, Xie Yuan has already gained a very high understanding of spearmanship.

After three days of immersive study, relying on the original artistic conception, he has completely comprehended the seven types of spear techniques and has mastered them all.

Now that he has mastered the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear, looking at the first move, which is like the general outline of Peace on Earth, and comparing it with the seventh move, which is the culmination of the move, Desire to the Blue Hell, Xie Yuan has a deeper understanding of this spear technique, and the completed spear technique is completely different.

With just this spear, without any other tools, Xie Yuan could make up for the difference in power and fight head-on with one of the three strongest men in the Western Regions, Asin, Mu Bo, and Yelu Chu.

But even now, Xie Yuan didn't understand what kind of spear technique the last move, Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao, was. He had no idea at all.

Even with his current marksmanship skills, he couldn't understand how this marksmanship could have a follow-up and even more powerful moves?
Therefore, even though he had mastered the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear, Xie Yuan's face showed no joy but confusion.

Xie Fu saw his expression and suddenly became very serious:
"Xie Yuan, I told you about the taboos of this spear technique the first time - Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao, you can't practice it. Unless you are absolutely sure.

"This is the ancestral teaching, a lesson learned by our ancestors with blood."

Xie Yuan nodded and said:
"I remember it. But even if I want to practice, I don't know how to practice..."

"Don't think too much."

Xie Fu waved his hand to stop Xie Yuan's curiosity:

"You have mastered all seven styles now - haha, I really didn't expect that. I thought you could master five styles in a short period of time, and then you could try to practice the mind method and ignite the gun flame. I didn't expect that you still exceeded my expectations.

"How about it? Do you want to continue studying the mental method? I am a little curious about the three levels of spear flames: 'Yangyan', 'Qingyan', and 'Honglian'. Can you directly master them and comprehend the Burning Heaven Red Lotus Karma Fire?"

Xie Yuan was also eager to try.

Gun flame is the core of the power of the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear. There is a world of difference between having it and not having it.

At the beginning, Xie Yan's blue flame put Xie Yuan in danger, and the power left a deep impression on Xie Yuan.

However, Xie Yuan still shook his head:
"Elder Fu, three days is a long time. I need to go back and rest."

"..."

Xie Fu was speechless for a moment.

What do you mean three days is a long time?
He mastered the fourth style of Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear in three days, so why is he a little absent-minded? Is he thinking it's not fast enough?
If everyone in the Xie family heard this, they would probably want to shoot him twice, including Xie Yi who was lying down.

However, Xie Fu vaguely understood what he meant and nodded:

"Go ahead, take a break and see how he is doing."

Xie Yuan cupped his hands, and with a flash of his body, he walked down from the armory tower and headed straight for the main courtyard.

When he arrived at Xie Yi's house, as soon as he stepped into the room, he smelled an extremely strong smell of medicine. Just one breath made him feel energized.

But outside the house, no sound could be heard at all. It was obvious that an isolation formation had been set up in the house.

Cui Pingjun did not alert anyone else about the news that the prescriptions had been collected and completely kept the information secret.

She boiled the medicine herself, without letting anyone else participate. She had been preparing for this day for a long time, and she was already a master in pharmacology, so she would not let anyone else do it.

Seeing Xie Yuan coming back, Cui Pingjun, who was looking after the medicine jar, just glanced at him and seemed to feel that his aura had risen a little.

But she didn't even ask, her face was a little tense:
"Yuan'er is here. The medicine will be ready in half a day. I'll feed it to your uncle then..."

When she finished speaking, her voice was even trembling a little, and Xie Lingyun beside her hurriedly held her mother's hand.

Xie Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice:
"I'll be on guard outside the house."

After waiting for half a day, Xie Yuan heard a sound from the inner room and hurried in. He saw Cui Pingjun holding a bowl of medicine liquid as transparent as water.

The medicine looked like white water, and I didn't know why it was that color, but there was a golden glow in the transparency. If you looked at it for a long time, it would even seem a bit dreamy, making you lose your concentration and recall the past like a kaleidoscope of memories.

Xie Yuan only took a glance and then calmed down, revealing an excited expression.

According to the prescription, the medicine is ready.

Cui Pingjun looked at Xie Yuan, then at Xie Lingyun next to him. Amid the two people's extremely nervous and expectant gazes, she took a deep breath and carefully and gently fed the medicine to Xie Yi.

The entire bowl of medicine quickly went into Xie Yi's mouth, without any waste.

Cui Pingjun stared at Xie Yi intently and put the bowl aside. She bumped the bowl against the edge of the table twice and almost broke it. She finally put the bowl away.

Xie Yuan and Xie Lingyun also held their breath, and the three of them stared at Xie Yi closely.

The room was extremely quiet for a moment.

Apart from Xie Yi's strong heartbeat, no other sound could be heard.
