This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 35 Baiyun Villa
Xiang Yuan took the hostages away and Sima Qingyan cooperated very well. She did not resist even without the sword around her neck.

After walking three or five miles, Xiang Yuan sheathed his sword, pushed Sima Qingyan away, turned around and was about to leave.

"My sword!"

Sima Qingyan said with a stern face.

"I could have killed you just now, but I didn't, because I saved your life. I could have raped you just now, but I didn't, because I protected your chastity. All in all, you owe me two lives. All I need is a sword. What else do you want?" Xiang Yuan said righteously.

A calm mind cannot say these words, and a cold-blooded person is even less talkative. Only a funny person can have such a fresh and refined temperament.

Sima Qingyan had never seen such a shameless person. Oh, except Xiao He, she had never seen such a shameless person. She stood there in a daze, so angry that she forgot to refute.

"I almost forgot that you set an ambush. This sword was a trophy of Xiang Mou's. It should have been mine."

Xiang Yuan continued, "If you count it this way, apart from this sword, you still owe me two big favors. You should be grateful in your heart and in your actions. You are well-dressed and look decent. You should not be a beast who repays kindness with enmity, right?"

Sima Qingyan had a strange look on his face, as if he had heard these words somewhere before. After thinking about it for a moment, the figure of Xiao He appeared in front of him.

If she hadn't been caught by him, how could she have allowed herself to degenerate into practicing the evil magic of Huangquan Dao!
At this moment, just like at that moment, Xiang Yuan's image in Sima Qingyan's mind fell to the bottom in an instant, and he was only worthy of being on the same level as Xiao He.

She looked at Xiang Yuan coldly, said nothing more, and turned back to the mass grave.

His steps were light and it was obvious that he still had the strength to fight again.

"The awakening stage is really scary. I tried my best but could only barely defeat it... No, such a powerful awakening stage was still defeated by me. I am really scary."

Xiang Yuan raised his eyebrows, wondering about the relationship between Sima Qingyan and Xiao He. It was definitely impossible for them to be lovers, and it was almost impossible for them to be accomplices or superiors. It looked like a female investigator who was arrested and given some strange drug.

Please, give me some more. I feel like ants are crawling all over my body.JPG
Xiang Yuan already has the picture in his mind!

The funny guy's unconventional thinking did not bother him. Seeing that it was getting late, he did not dare to stay in the wilderness outside the city for long. He rushed to Fengxian County as quickly as possible and chose to spend the night in the government office.

I can’t go back to the Xiao Mansion.

At least not recently!
It may be fate, but it was wrong for Xiao He to plot against him. Rules must be set and temper must be shown, otherwise he would appear weak and easy to bully like a dog.

They are destined to be together, so Xiao He should lick him.

Because of his master's inexperienced divination, Xiang Yuan had high expectations for the destined person. Xiao He went from being a funny guy to being the mastermind behind the scenes. Not only was he not angry, he was quite happy, and secretly said that this was how it should be.

He was unhappy because of Xiao He's calculations. He had pretended to be crazy and stupid and deceived him for so many days. If he didn't make the rules clear today, there would inevitably be more calculations in the future.

"It should be quite quiet in the next few days. It's just the right time to practice and reach the enlightenment stage..."

"This is the county government office. I just beat up the young lady and cut off her hand. I took back the lost sword and flirted with her again..."

"She won't bring anyone to beat me up, will she?"

Xiang Yuan found an empty room in the third shift's house and lived there. He tried three things at once: he used the energy consumed by his spiritual practice of Zhu Yin's God Forging, he used the energy of his spiritual practice of Wan Xiang's Body Forging to eliminate the true Qi left by Sima Qingyan in his body, and he summarized the experience of this battle and analyzed his own shortcomings.

The depleted blood and energy cannot be replenished for the time being, and can only be supplemented by food. If you want to recover quickly, you must get a top-grade pill.

After weighing the pros and cons, it is ultimately due to insufficient strength and a difference in realm that it is difficult to win even with many means.

After the battle with Sima Qingyan, Xiang Yuan realized the gap between himself and the awakening stage. It was really lucky that Xu Fu could kill the black robe.

Right now, Xiang Yuan's Ren meridian is blocked, his strength cannot reach his limbs, his formless true Qi is very little, and to display his unique skills he must rely on wielding a sword with a calm mind, or learning from Liu Jingsheng how to tame a tiger, or chasing the moon like a lone star, never to return.

Both a normal attack and a big move consume the energy of the soul and belong to the realm of martial arts. They do not require much true energy.

The requirement of eternal killing intent on true energy is not high. It does not depend on the realm of the warrior, nor on the artistic conception of martial arts. It all depends on the warrior's physique. The more blood and energy the warrior has, the more killing intent the warrior has. If he cannot kill the enemy, then he will kill himself. It is a life-and-death move.

Under normal circumstances, people in the Qi Refining Stage can only bully ordinary people, or entertain themselves in the Qi Refining Stage circle.

Xiang Yuan was able to control the sword with his mind and had made some progress in mastering the art of chasing the moon with the lone star. Apart from the experience summarized by his uncle, he also relied on his powerful soul.

Not only could his soul do three things at once, he could also borrow other people's artistic conception and use it for his own benefit. For example, he learned most of Liu Jingsheng's tiger stance and Sima Qingyan's unknown sword moves with just one look.

Sima Qingyan's moves were of a higher level of artistic conception. He learned from a great master, so he could only imitate them reluctantly without fully mastering them. He felt a little regretful when he thought about it.

The side effect is headaches. The more you look and the deeper you look, the more headaches you will have. There are pros and cons. If you choose the lesser of the two, headaches can be overcome.

"A little opening doesn't count, and opening all the time doesn't count either. I am indeed a martial arts genius!"

Xiang Yuan was complacent. When his calm spirit was almost cultivated, he decisively switched over and put aside his funny and complacent mentality.

“There are still many shortcomings, and we still need to work harder!”

Xiang Yuanduan adjusted his mindset, sat cross-legged and practiced the Wuxiang Yin method, and that night he opened another acupoint on the Ren meridian.

He lived a secluded life and rarely went out, only showing up to go to the toilet and eat three meals a day. The rest of the time he spent practicing.

When I met Lao Liu by chance once, he only said one sentence: "We had a quarrel", which made Lao Liu messy in the restaurant. He ate and took away some food, and packed some food to take home to calm himself down.

After three days, the Ren Meridian is fully open, Qi can reach the limbs, and strength is greatly increased.

After five days, your realm will be stabilized, and you will have reached the peak of Qi Refining and can strive for the Awakening Stage at any time.

Xiao He has not shown up in the past few days. Xiang Yuan understands that this is called tug-of-war, and whoever gives in first will lose.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Xiao He was holding back something big, with loud gongs and drums, firecrackers, and a sedan chair being carried to welcome him back to the Xiao Mansion.

What a shameless person!

If Xiao He didn't show up, Xiang Yuan would have no chance of going to find him. Xiang was a very stubborn person, and there was no way this matter could be resolved without repeatedly bowing down to him or paying more money.

"Speaking of money..."

Xiang Yuangong has reached the perfection of Qi Refining Stage, but he is lacking two kinds of elixirs. One is to nourish Qi and blood to make up for the deficit, and the other is to assist himself and strive to succeed in the Awakening Stage in one go.

External supplements cost money, and when linked to elixirs, it is an even greater expense, at least for him it is a huge amount of money.

If he goes to Xiao He, he will definitely find the answer. He can also go to Wang Wenxu or Xu Jixian. Especially Wang Wenxu, Xiang Yuan is already prepared to figure out the other party's intentions.

But not now. If Xiao He is asked to lick the cake, then Xiao He must be asked to lick the cake. The other party must know that he is free and easy to someone and is doing well without the support of others.

Xiang Yuan weighed the change in his hand. This amount of money was definitely not enough to spend lavishly. To save face, he had to sell his belongings.

Clang!
Xiang Yuan drew out his sword with a hint of reluctance in his eyes. He liked magical weapons, and after getting this sword, he diligently polished it every night, but in the end, they were not destined to be together.

"Well, I have already entered the way of the sword. Although this sword is good, it is not my forte after all."

My precious sword, my fortune depends on you!

He walked away from the government office and headed straight for East Street, occasionally looking back on the way to see if anyone was following him secretly.

East Street is wealthy. A twenty-zhang long commercial road runs through the north and south like a dragon vein, gathering wealth from all over the world. Merchants traveling between the north and the south are endless, with traffic jams day and night. It is the money bag of the imperial court.

The road is paved with bluestone, which has been worn down by the years and witnessed the flow of countless wealth.

There are shops lined up on both sides of the street, including gold shops, silk shops, herbal medicine stores, teahouses and taverns. Every shop is decorated magnificently and colorfully to attract the attention of passers-by.

Because there are too many people in the underworld, it is difficult to tell the identities of the various snack stalls, grocery stalls, and jugglers. It is hard to say which one is a spy from the Six Gates and which one is a killer pretending to be innocent.

Xiang Yuan was wearing the uniform of a detective. On East Street, although this black robe did not have much deterrent power, it helped him avoid a lot of chores. Many people looked at Xiang Yuan, and when they saw that he was a clean-skinned detective, they withdrew their gazes.

Xiang Yuan found a big pawnshop, switched to a funny mentality, and after a lot of effort, he finally got 1,500 taels of silver.

Because it was a pawn, and he looked innocent and easy to be deceived, and the price of the stolen goods was reduced, so the price was lowered a lot.

The pawn deed clearly stated that if the sword was not redeemed at a higher price after thirty days, it would become the property of the pawnshop.

Whether to redeem the property or not was Sima Qingyan's business. Xiang Yuan did not consider it. He put the banknotes and the pawn deed in his pocket and saw the big flag of Baiyun Villa from afar.

The sun and moon in the pot can bring back spring;
The pills on the shelf can save the world.

The couplet in front of the door is concise and clear, this is it.
