From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 143 No Need for Pity
It was afternoon, Mingyue stood in front of the door, with a sword in his hand and the sun behind him, but he looked even colder.

In the letter that Meng Yuan asked Xiangling to deliver, he only said that he wanted to ask questions about martial arts. He thought that he would have to exchange letters several times and then slowly seduce the other party, but he didn't expect Mingyue to come directly.

It can be seen that Xiangling is really prestigious.

"Miss Mingyue, I have some questions about martial arts that I would like to ask you." Meng Yuan bowed politely.

"If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. Xiangling has mortgaged her to me for three years. I allow you to ask three questions." Mingyue said.

Mortgage? Pay back for three years? Xiangling is a bumpkin who just left her hometown and finally found a job. You city people are just cheating people from the mountains?

Meng Yuan was shocked.

"Then forget it." Meng Yuan didn't expect Xiangling to sacrifice so much for him. He was deeply moved and waved his hands repeatedly, "You should let Xiangling go. Without her, our Laobiekeng Poetry Club will fall apart."

After hearing this, Mingyue smiled slightly.

"How did she mortgage it to you?" Meng Yuan was very curious.

"She read the letter and begged me to come over. If I didn't come, she promised to support me for three years." Mingyue smiled, "Hurry up and tell me. I don't need her to support me."

Xiangling is so cunning, how could she agree to support you for three years? You must have increased the price layer by layer, forcing it to three years.

Bullying honest people!
Thinking of how much Xiangling has given, Meng Yuan couldn't help sighing in his heart and planned to make some tiger skin eggs for her to eat in the evening.

"Miss Mingyue, I want to ask you about expanding the Dantian."

Meng Yuan's expression became serious. "This time when I went out and fought with Monk Xuanzhen, I felt more and more powerless. So after I came back, I went to find my teacher. Although he has a way to open up my Dantian for me, I would owe him a huge favor. I couldn't bear to see him worrying about me at such an age, so I wanted to ask Miss Mingyue, is there any other way to open up the Dantian?"

"He is your father-in-law and should be worried and concerned about you." Mingyue held the sword in her arms.

Eh? How come you even know this? Meng Yuan has caught the person behind this, it must be the Third Miss!

"I can't bear it anyway." Meng Yuan sighed, "Ms. Mingyue is well-educated and her martial arts level is higher than mine. People say that a wise man is a teacher, so I'm sure she has some tricks to teach me."

"No." Mingyue shook her head slightly, walked into the room, looked around, and said, "It's better to ask a sixth-rank warrior for help."

Meng Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Miss, can you help me?"

Mingyue glanced at Meng Yuan, and her expression seemed to say: I knew it.

"You need to know why a sixth-rank warrior is needed to help expand the Dantian."

Mingyue's voice was cold and indifferent. "From the seventh rank to the sixth rank, one needs to connect the three heavens, the upper, middle and lower heavens, and the heaven and earth will be in harmony. From then on, the jade liquid will fill the whole body, and it can absorb the external qi, recover faster, and the method of using the jade liquid will become more meticulous. This is one."

She held the sword in her arms, looking a bit majestic, and tapped the hilt with two fingers. She continued, "After entering the sixth level, the six senses become sharper, and you can sense the subtle changes of others. The control of the Qi is also more sensitive. Within a hundred feet, you can lock the Qi of several people without losing it. This is two."

"Third," Mingyue glanced at the teacup and the bracelet left by Xiangling, and continued, "The jade liquid of a sixth-rank warrior is more condensed, like a steel knife or a sword, while a seventh-rank warrior is like a clay sculpture, and can naturally be trimmed a little."

Mingyue looked at Meng Yuan and finally said, "You need to calm your Qi, prolong the Jade Fluid, and concentrate. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If you are not careful, you may hurt the other person. Therefore, to help someone expand their Dantian, a sixth-rank warrior must go all out, and an ordinary sixth-rank warrior may not be able to do it."

Meng Yuan poured tea for Mingyue and asked, "How long will it take?"

"It depends on the person." Mingyue said.

Meng Yuan understood and asked quietly, "Miss, can you help me take a look? Give it a try?"

"This method is dangerous. We need to trust each other." Mingyue said.

"Miss, you don't trust me?" Meng Yuan asked.

Mingyue glanced at Meng Yuan and said, "I'll just help you take a look. If it takes too long, go find someone else."

In fact, Mingyue was quite interested. She had seen Meng Yuanfang break through to the seventh level and use his powerful Floating Light Cave Heaven. His power was two or three times stronger than that of an ordinary seventh level cultivator.

For such people, their Dantian should be already vast, and their jade liquid should be extremely condensed, so they can definitely expand it further.

Mingyue had never done this before, but out of boredom, she wanted to give it a try.

"Thank you, young lady!" Meng Yuan quickly bowed.

"Sit cross-legged." Mingyue held the sword in one hand, "I will let a strand of jade liquid enter your body, and you should calm your mind and have no distracting thoughts."

Meng Yuan sat down obediently and closed his eyes calmly, "Come in."

"It will be a little uncomfortable the first time, and you will cry out in pain."

"I can bear it!"

"Don't bear it."

Mingyue saw that Meng Yuan's breathing was steady and his face showed no sadness or joy. She knew that he had entered a state of meditation, so she probed her aura and focused it on this person.

He stretched out a finger, and a stream of jade liquid like autumn water floated down on Meng Yuan's chest.

After a quick probe, Mingyue realized that the other party's muscles, bones and internal organs were strong, and his meridians and blood vessels were wide and unobstructed.

Mingyue has been practicing diligently since childhood and taking medicinal baths every day. She thinks she is only slightly comparable to this person.

Everyone has different physiques and talents, and there is no need to envy them. But this person has made rapid progress, and it is clear that he is gifted and has achieved something both inside and outside. Who knows, he may have had some adventures.

When the tiny strand of jade liquid that Mingyue had penetrated into the Dantian touched the other party's jade liquid, he felt that the other party's jade liquid was tough and thick, and it almost felt like it was stagnating. The obstruction was extremely heavy. Although Mingyue's strand of jade liquid was small, the jade liquid of the sixth level was refined through thousands of trials and tribulations, and it was sent and received by the heart, reaching the state of subtlety. When invading the other party's Dantian, there will naturally be a sense of obstruction, but it is generally not too heavy.

It should have been like a steel needle inserted into tofu, but now it was like encountering the thick skin of a sow.

"It's a bit tight." Mingyue became more interested.

She was already a sixth-rank warrior with great experience, and she knew very well that even seventh-rank warriors in the same realm had vastly different strengths.

The reason for this, apart from one's own muscles and bones, and one's proficiency in the use of divine powers, depends on whether one's dantian is vast and whether the jade liquid is condensed.

Some people's jade liquid is like willow catkins on the roadside, which takes up a lot of space, but it is difficult to boil a pot of water; some people's jade liquid is like old pine branches, which burn vigorously but come and go quickly and cannot last long; some people's jade liquid is like sandalwood and jujube wood, which does not take up much space but is resistant to burning and durable.

When some divine powers are activated, it does not matter whether the jade liquid is condensed or not. However, for some divine powers such as attack and defense, the essence is that the jade liquid is transformed into sword energy, whether it is attack or defense, so naturally the more condensed the jade liquid is, the greater its power will be.

Mingyue felt that the person in front of her was very durable, and the condensation of the jade liquid was not inferior to that of an ordinary sixth-grade warrior.

"Others' Floating Light Cave Heaven is like thousands of fine needles, but this person's Jade Liquid is like a knife chopping and an axe slashing, not much different from a sixth-rank warrior's."

Mingyue felt more and more that this person had excellent aptitude. If he was carefully cultivated, it would be possible for him to reach the fourth level in the future. If there was an opportunity, he could even reach the third level.

After a slight sigh, Mingyue's jade liquid continued to explore deeper. For a moment, it seemed like black hair was like the sea, and it could not reach the edge of Dantian.

"Why is it so big?"

Mingyue was amazed, and the jade liquid continued to move around and explore. After finding Meng Yuan's foundation, she frowned slightly, "When I was at the seventh level, even if I took great medicine and had someone to help me develop, I was still not as good as this person."

"Let me see how strong you are!"

Mingyue became more interested and slowly increased the jade liquid, which slowly invaded Meng Yuan's dantian.

All of a sudden, Mingyue felt that the jade liquid that had probed into her was slowly being consumed by the other party, and the other party's dantian was not only thick but also vast.

If the Dantian of an ordinary person is like chicken skin that breaks with a poke, then the Dantian of a person with excellent qualifications and pioneering experience is like weasel skin. However, this person's Dantian is like old cowhide and is extremely tough.

This Dantian can be expanded a little more, but it is already very difficult.

"Looking closely at the changes in his Dantian, it seems someone has helped him expand his Dantian. Even I can't do it so well!"

"I thought it was uncultivated land, but it turned out to have been carefully cultivated."

Mingyue thought so, slowly withdrew her strength, and patted Meng Yuan awake.

"Is it okay now? I don't feel any pain, just a little itchy. Miss Mingyue, it's okay for you to use a little more force, I can bear it..." Meng Yuan felt that Mingyue's expression was not right before he finished speaking.

There seemed to be some disappointment in that expression and those eyes.

It is like a nobleman who is used to the hustle and bustle of life and is bored of playing in brothels, who happens to meet a pure and innocent girl. After the nobleman goes through untold hardships and marries the girl in a sedan chair, he finds something wrong on the wedding night. The girl, who is as innocent as a piece of white paper, knows more than the girls in the brothels.

It seemed as if I had found a paradise, but I never expected that it was already in chaos.

"Who opened your Dantian?" Mingyue's voice was faint and ethereal, without any displeasure, just a little dull.

"No one." Meng Yuan said sincerely, as if he was caught cheating on his wife, "You are the first one."

"Really?" Mingyue asked.

"Really." Meng Yuan sighed and counted his fingers. "We were together when I broke through. After that, I have been working in the guard post. I am really innocent!"

Mingyue held her forehead.

Meng Yuan thought about it and confessed honestly: "Could it be because I have used Floating Light Cave Heaven too many times? Some things become more durable and better the more they are used. I drain myself every time. Isn't this just like when I first started learning martial arts, I used up all my strength every day?"

"That doesn't make sense." Mingyue glanced at Meng Yuan and said, "If you don't know how to control yourself, you will hurt yourself."

Meng Yuan was the most obedient and sensible person. Seeing the reminder, he asked, "Are you still coming?"

Mingyue hesitated for a moment and said, "Come."

Seeing Mingyue was motivated, Meng Yuan immediately sat down and said, "Miss Mingyue, please!"

Mingyue didn't say anything more and didn't extend her fingers this time, but just stretched out her hand.

For a moment, Meng Yuan only felt that his own energy was locked and trembling, and then a stream of jade liquid flowed into his body.

The jade liquid was like a trickle of water, flowing endlessly throughout the body and then falling into the Dantian.

Then the external jade liquid slowly separated from the body's own jade liquid, like thousands of fine feathers, teasing various parts of the Dantian.

After a long time, Mingyue stopped and looked at Meng Yuan.

"Miss Mingyue, I am a rough and humble man from the countryside, with thick skin and rough flesh. Please don't show pity on me!" Meng Yuan said.

Mingyue frowned slightly when she heard this, as if she was a little embarrassed and annoyed, "Shut up!"

She stretched out her palm again and rushed into Meng Yuan's body domineeringly.
