The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 168: The Valley of Unfeeling
Not far from Lujiazhuang, a middle-aged woman with disheveled hair and a silly smile appeared from the east, holding a fire fork and singing a tuneless song. Behind her was a gaunt old man in a green robe and a long beard.

This combination of the foolish woman and the old man were not slow at all when they walked. It took less than a cup of tea from the time the outer wall of Lujia Manor appeared in their sight to the time they reached the gate of the manor.

"Wow~"

Just as the two were about to enter Lujia Manor, a black shadow rose into the sky from the center of the manor, accompanied by a cry that pierced the clouds and split the rocks.

The black shadow flew higher and higher, and soon turned into a black dot and disappeared into the clouds.

"Big, big bird is flying," Shagu looked up at the sky and giggled foolishly.

"That's Brother Ouyang?" Huang Yaoshi asked in surprise.

As the East Evil, one of the Five Great Masters, Huang Yaoshi's internal strength is already at the top level in the martial arts world, and with the blessing of internal energy, his five senses are also extremely sharp.

As the Divine Eagle soared into the sky, Huang Yaoshi clearly saw a figure hanging on the bird's legs. It was his old friend Ouyang Feng whom he had not seen for many years.

"Brother Ouyang has gone mad because of practicing the Nine Yin Manual in reverse order. How did he appear in Lujia Village?"

"And that mysterious giant bird can actually carry people and fly. And who is the person on the bird's back?"

Huang Yaoshi didn't expect that he would see such an incredible scene just when he came out to visit his daughter and granddaughter.

Huang Yaoshi, who was full of doubts, tapped his feet a few times and quickly flew over the manor, heading towards the place where the giant bird took off.

Mu Sheng, who was in the clouds, didn't know that as soon as he left, Huang Yaoshi, one of the Five Great Masters, arrived at Lujiazhuang.

Even if he knew, Mu Sheng wouldn't care, because there was nothing on Huang Lao Xie that he wanted.

Reaching out and grabbing a handful of the clouds passing by him, Mu Sheng opened the refining panel with a thought.

The refining of the eleventh level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra is still proceeding slowly and steadily, and the remaining skills on the panel are becoming increasingly vague.

When the thirteenth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra is completed, these skills will be incorporated into the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra like the previous skills.

Mu Sheng had a hunch that once all the skills were integrated together, the refining panel would also undergo new changes.

but
Mu Sheng glanced at the crossing progress bar on the panel which was almost full, and felt like his obsessive-compulsive disorder was about to set in.

Even if he does nothing, with this progress, the subsequent impact of his current destruction of the plot of The Return of the Condor Heroes world will accumulate enough in a few years.

But this is just like when you download a piece of learning material online, and the download progress bar gets stuck at 99.9% and stays there for several years. Wouldn’t that be suffocating?

"Let me see where I can get it."

"Ok?"

Just as Mu Sheng was carefully recalling the plot of The Return of the Condor Heroes, a black shadow floated to his face.

Mu Sheng turned his head and saw that it was Xiao Hei.

She habitually raised her hand and supported Xiao Hei's lower abdomen, keeping him steady in her hand.

"If you play this again, you might fall to your death!"

Mu Sheng put Xiao Hei in his arms, touched its little head and said.

As Mu Sheng's number one henchman, Xiao Hei often flies on the Divine Eagle, and he especially likes to stand on the Divine Eagle's head with his wings spread, letting the airflow lift him up.

In theory, Xiao Hei is also a bird and should not pose any threat. Mu Sheng is mainly worried that it might accidentally get caught in the wake of the Divine Eagle and have its wings folded.

After Xiao Hei's interruption, Mu Sheng also thought of where he could get some more energy for traveling.

The Valley of Unfeeling!
Although it is impossible for Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo to go to this place again, the Unrequited Valley, which has played a large role in many scenes, can still be squeezed out of it.

"The book doesn't seem to mention the exact location of Jueqing Valley, it only says that it is in the mountains between Tongguan and Luoyang."

"Take your time. I don't need to look for it anyway." Mu Sheng lowered his head and touched Xiao Hei's head again: "Don't you agree, Xiao Hei?"

"Gah?"

When the sun was about to set, Mu Sheng had arrived at a mountain range between Luoyang and Tongguan. He found a place to shelter from the rain and wind and set up his tent.

Rumble!
A deafening sound of water rang out in the dense forest, and a waterfall poured down from a steep cliff.

The water hitting the pool at the bottom of the cliff kicked up a large amount of water mist, covering the entire forest like a fairyland.

boom!
A huge splash of water burst out from the vertical waterfall.

Along with the loud dragon roar, a dragon-shaped energy rushed out from behind the waterfall and plunged into this fairyland.

Wherever the dragon-shaped energy passed, the mist was swept up and swallowed by it. The invisible energy turned into a visible water dragon, which was showing off its fangs and claws in this sparsely populated mountain forest, wantonly demonstrating its power.

Bang bang bang!
There was another series of explosions, and water dragons were born one after another, flying freely above the pool like a group of dancing dragons.

If Guo Jing and Hong Qigong saw this scene, they would be surprised to find that the Beggar Gang's unique skill, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, had been secretly learned right under their noses.

Moreover, this person's mastery of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is even more profound than theirs.

“Sure enough, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are of little help to me,” sighed Mu Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged behind the waterfall.

When refining skills on the refining panel, skills of the same type and level will only be most effective when refined for the first time. Repeated refining can only be icing on the cake.

Although the refining has not yet begun, the power of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms used by Mu Sheng has already exceeded the normal level.

Standing up and jumping, Mu Sheng passed through the waterfall and fell straight into the pool below, splashing a huge splash of water.

After swimming in the pool for a while, Mu Sheng fished out a fish from the bottom of the pool, carried the fish ashore, and planned to make some fish soup.

After walking through the mountains and forests for a while, Mu Sheng arrived at his camping place. He quickly lit a fire and stewed the fish.

"Gah!"

A crow caws.

When the Mu Sheng fish soup was ready, Xiao Hei also came back.

"Slurp~Slurp~", Mu Sheng drank the soup while looking through the scenes in his mind: "Have you found it? It's going pretty smoothly."

Mu Sheng calculated the time and found it in less than three days. He didn’t know if it was because he was lucky or if this place was particularly easy to find.

After drinking the fish soup and packing up everything, Mu Sheng called over the Divine Eagle and Ouyang Feng who were running wild in the mountains and forests, and flew towards the location of the Jueqing Valley.

Soon, a vast valley appeared in front of Mu Sheng. Looking down from the sky, the valley was filled with flowers of various colors.

Cranes, white deer and other animals can be seen everywhere, creating a lively and proud scene.

"Why is this place so beautiful?" Mu Sheng was moved: "This place is destined to be with me!"

It's a pity to let Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianchi, two old bad guys, live in such a good place. Only a virtuous person like me can live here to complement each other.

After circling over the Jueqing Valley, Mu Sheng soon discovered a green bamboo forest. Behind the bamboo forest was a pond, and at the end of the pond was a huge stone house.

"Such a large stone house, even if it is not Gongsun Zhi's residence, it is still a very important place."

Mu Sheng's mind moved, and he controlled the Divine Eagle to begin descending. When it was more than ten meters above the ground, the Divine Eagle loosened its claws and dropped Ouyang Feng down.

Here comes the human missile! Bang!
As soon as Ouyang Feng landed, he ran into the stone house and ran around happily.

"Wang! Wang Wang!"

In the innermost room of the stone house, Gongsun Zhi was practicing his acupuncture point closing skill. This skill could close the acupuncture points around his body to resist the enemy's attack. It was Gongsun Zhi's hidden skill.

The sudden noise made Gongsun Zhi frown and look very unhappy.

"Valley Master, Valley Master, something bad has happened. A strange man has broken in," the panicked voice of a maid was heard outside the room.

"Someone broke into the valley?"

Gongsun Zhi frowned even deeper. The Jueqing Valley covers a very large area and has many traps. If someone broke into the valley from outside, someone should have come to report it long ago.

From the sound, this person has already broken into where he lives. Only now has a maid come to report how Fan Yiweng manages the Jueqing Valley. What a useless thing.

Gongsun Zhi was secretly angry and strode outside. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a figure flying straight towards him.

Gongsun Zhi quickly waved his hand and knocked the figure to the ground.

When he looked closely, he found that it was his useless eldest disciple Fan Yiweng, and he became even angrier.

"Where did this lunatic come from? How dare he run wild in my Jueqing Valley!" Gongsun Zhi shouted angrily at the two strangers in the hall.

Mu Sheng was too lazy to pay attention to a dead man. He tiptoed across the hall and rushed towards Gongsun Zhi.

"Looking for death!" Gongsun Zhi shouted, drew out the golden knife and black sword from his waist and slashed towards Mu Sheng.

The knife moves with force and the sword moves with lightness, but Gongsun Zhi's Yin-Yang Reverse Blade Technique is just the opposite. The black sword is forceful and the golden sword is lightness, plus his martial arts is extremely exquisite.

Ordinary people who practice martial arts can easily get hurt when they first come into contact with it because they are not used to it.

Facing the oncoming sword and knife, Mu Sheng did not dodge or move forward, but instead blasted towards Gongsun Zhi with his extremely powerful and masculine Whale-Killing Fist.

No matter how you change or respond, I can break it with my own strength.

"You want to use your life in exchange for my life to break my moves? You're courting death!"

Seeing Mu Sheng's unavoidable behavior, Gongsun Zhi sneered in his heart. He had the acupuncture point closing skill to protect his body, and this man's fist could not cause him any harm at all.

Gongsun Zhi seemed to see this man being chopped into pieces by him, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Ding dong!

boom!
However, the next moment Gongsun Zhi opened his eyes wide as if he had seen something unbelievable.

'impossible! ’

Not only did Gongsun Zhi's sword fail to cut Mu Sheng's body, but his arm was numbed by the recoil force.

At the same time, Mu Sheng's fist also landed on Gongsun Zhi's chest. The explosive force of the fist easily tore apart Gongsun Zhi's proud acupuncture point closing skill, shattered his sternum, and crushed his internal organs.

Puff puff!
The force of the punch tore Gongsun Zhi's body into pieces and sent him flying backwards. The flesh and blood spurting out of Gongsun Zhi's mouth drew a bloody arc in the air.

boom!
Gongsun Zhi's body hit the wall of the stone house, hovered for a few seconds, and then slowly slid down along the wall.

"Your and my magical powers are not enough," Gongsun Zhi tried his best to say something.

"Where did you throw Qiu Qianchi down from?" Mu Sheng took a few steps forward with a faint golden light flashing in his eyes.

"exist"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Zhi lost his breath, his wide-open eyes seemed to be accusing something.

"Valley Master. Valley Master is dead!"

"Impossible, the Valley Master's magical power is invincible, how is it possible?"

"."

Seeing Gongsun Zhi being beaten to death by Mu Sheng with one punch, the maids in the hall and the disciples of Jueqing Valley all panicked.

Mu Sheng ignored these passers-by and turned to leave the stone house. He jumped into the air and tapped a few times before jumping straight up to a height of dozens of meters.

When he was about to fall, the Divine Eagle suddenly appeared at his feet and carried Mu Sheng high into the sky.

"Woof! Woof woof!" Ouyang Feng saw Mu Sheng and the Divine Eagle leaving and hurriedly chased after them, rushing around on the ground and causing a commotion.

At the foot of a cliff in the Jueqing Valley, an old woman with broken limbs and bald hair was lying next to a rock.

"Gongsun Zhi!"

Qiu Qianchi repeated the name fiercely. During the more than ten years of hard survival under the cliff, she was able to persevere only because of her hatred for Gongsun Zhi.

Every day, they would spit out date pits from their mouths to shake the date trees, or kill small animals to satisfy their hunger.

Woohoo!

A strange sound of wind suddenly sounded. Qiu Qianchi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a big bird falling from the top of the cliff.

There was a person sitting on the back of the big bird, a young man.

'How can it be! ’

'Someone is coming. I have a chance to take revenge.'

Qiu Qianchi was shocked at first, but then she realized that this was her chance. If she could leave here, she would have the opportunity to seek revenge on Gongsun Zhi.

The way Mu Sheng appeared made Qiu Qianchi dare not underestimate him, so she decided to take a soft approach first to gain Mu Sheng's trust and let him take her away.

"Come here, young man."

Qiu Qianchi tried hard to force a smile, trying to make herself look friendlier.

However, from Mu Sheng's perspective, he saw a bald old woman with a foul odor and an ugly and ferocious face grinning at him.

Coupled with her words, it was as if a devil from hell saw a tempting lamb.

"Huh~"

Mu Sheng was disgusted, but didn't get close. Instead, he threw a powerful and fierce punch in the air straight towards Qiu Qianchi.

Qiu Qianchi was completely broken by Mu Sheng's reaction. Do I know you? Why did you come up and attack me? Don't you know that you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you?

In shock and anger, she made the only reaction she could with her body unable to move.

Spit out the date pits!
With more than ten years of practice, the date pits that Qiu Qianchi spit out were like bullets, shooting towards Mu Sheng.

Unfortunately, just after she spit out a few pills, Mu Sheng's fist hit her, and Qiu Qianchi's body flew into the sky like a rag.

While floating in the air, Qiu Qianchi's past memories flashed through her mind, and finally stopped at the face that she could recognize even if it turned into ashes.

"Gongsun. Stop."
