Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 435 Assassin
Baiyun Temple.

Jingyun Daoist closed her eyes tightly, turning the prayer beads in her hand; the slight trembling of her eyelids revealed the unease in her heart.

"Without ever practicing any body tempering techniques, he relied solely on his own physique to master the 'Floating Leap' technique in just one month."

"good."

Lu Qianqian nodded:
“Master, I remember you once said that to master the art of leaping into the air, one must learn to circulate qi and blood.”

Why was Shuang'er allowed to arrive ahead of schedule?

"The world is vast, and it's inevitable that some people are different from ordinary people." Daoist Jingyun opened his eyes:

“The Shuang’er you speak of is clearly this kind of person, and… she is extremely compatible with the lineage of my lineage.”

"Really?" Lu Qianqian sighed.

"pity!"

"The man surnamed Zhu is unwilling to release the person, and even said that he wants Master to personally go to your residence to accept him as a disciple to show his sincerity."

"When it comes to taking on a master and apprentice, who ever takes the initiative to come to the master's door?"

talking.

He shook his head repeatedly.

"No," said Daoist Jingyun with a smile.
"Some people travel thousands of miles without hesitation just to study, while others wander the world for decades just to find a good disciple to pass on their knowledge."

"Shuang'er..."

"Fifteen this year?"

"Yes." Lu Qianqian nodded.

"If only he were eight or nine years old, his physical development would have been better. Now he has passed the best time to learn martial arts."

Martial arts training is not something that should be started as early as possible.

Too early.

It can easily harm the body and hinder future spiritual practice.

It's too late.

The basic structure is already set, making it difficult to achieve anything significant.

Master Jingyun nodded slowly.

She saw further ahead: a person's vital energy is at its peak at thirty, and begins to decline rapidly after another ten years.

In other words.

If you start learning martial arts at fifteen, you only have a dozen or so good years at most. With the time spent building a solid foundation and learning the basics of martial arts, the actual time spent on training is even less. Even if you are exceptionally talented, you may not necessarily achieve great success.

"That Zhu guy is inhuman," Lu Qianqian muttered under her breath.
"It was clearly me who discovered Shuang'er's talent, but they wouldn't even let her be shown to their master. They even said she should become a disciple of a master in the Green Robe Gang. They're treating Shuang'er like a rare commodity. I really feel sorry for her, having such a master."

Master Jingyun's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if he were deep in thought.

When a person passes away, their body is kept in state for three to seven days, and there is a saying that there are five sevens after that, during which a memorial service is held every seven days.

Until the fifth seven-day period.

The 47th day after the death is the last sacrificial ceremony, and a vigil must be held at the family temple. After this night, everything will return to normal.

Zhu Ju, dressed in mourning clothes, sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, his blood and qi surging like a river with each breath.

Dragon and Elephant Strength!
This technique is far less effective at tempering the body than the Giant Spirit Fist, but it does not require practicing any techniques; one can simply sit in meditation.

and.

The effect of the Giant Spirit Fist in tempering the body can only be achieved by comprehending the true meaning of the fist; it is difficult for ordinary people to do so.

"call……"

"Suck……"

The blood and qi surged, sweeping through the entire body.

As it travels through the Ren and Du meridians, the Supreme Immortal Bone releases a wisp of essence, which is then incorporated into the Qi and blood.

With the help of this pure and exquisite essence, Zhu Ju's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

As the exercise progresses, the Qi and blood accumulate more and more, circulating faster and faster, almost like a river flowing endlessly.

a moment.

"Crack!"

An invisible barrier was shattered by the vast energy and blood, and a strange aura emanated from the body.

Nine products!

Without the aid of any secret medicine.

Relying on his pure and abundant blood and qi, he broke through the entry-level threshold on his own and advanced to the ninth-rank martial artist.

Zhu Ju's body trembled, and his blood and qi burst forth, forming a phantom image of a dragon and elephant swirling around his body.

The temperature in the empty ancestral temple rose quietly.

The scorching heat and unrestrained vitality caused the insects and ants flying around to stop moving.

"clatter……"

A faint sound came from outside.

Zhu Ju's ears trembled slightly, and his hands gently formed a hand seal, drawing back all the released qi and blood as if the sea were embracing all rivers.

He turned around and looked into the darkness:
"Sure enough, it's here."

…………

Under the cover of night, three figures silently scaled the wall of the Zhu residence.

"father."

A young voice rang out:

"Is it really okay to do this?"

"Now that things have come to this, don't you think it's too late to say all this?" another person said in a low voice.
"rest assured!"

"Zhang Huyuan is not at the Zhu residence tonight, and no one else can stop us. If we finish this quickly, no one will know it was us."

"Young Master," the last person spoke.
"Master is an eighth-rank martial artist. In the Zhu family, only Zhang Huzhang is an eighth-rank martial artist, and he is not here tonight."

"The family temple has only a few barely qualified guards, and it's unlikely to amount to anything."

"Yes." The young man nodded.

"I never expected Zhu Ju to actually change his mind. He's been staying home cultivating these past few days, practically never leaving the house. But as long as we deal with him..."

"The wealth that the Zhu family has accumulated over the years is now ours!"

"Shh!"

The three exchanged glances, nodded slightly, and quickly approached the ancestral temple under the cover of night.

They clearly knew the layout of the Zhu residence very well, knowing exactly where the guards were and when patrols would be conducted.

In just a short while, they appeared near the ancestral temple.

"on!"

The three charged forward.

Two of them rushed toward the guards who had sensed something was wrong, and the strongest of them leaped into the ancestral temple with a somersault.

"Zhu Ju, your father ruined my plans, so today I'll take my revenge on you!"

In mid-air.

The man in black jerked his arm, and the soft sword wrapped around his waist suddenly straightened, aiming straight for Zhu Ju's brow.

He was extremely fast, and his sword light was even more fierce.

Eyes facing each other.

The man in black suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

But Zhu Ju, whom he expected to be panicked, remained unmoved in the face of the incoming sword.

His eyes even revealed a knowing understanding that saw through everything.

Something is wrong!
"Shh!"

A gust of wind came from the side.

The soft whisk caught the sword aimed at Zhu Ju, and with a sudden flick, threw the man in black away.

"Infinite life and blessings."

Master Jingyun appeared in the arena, holding a whisk, and frowned as he looked at the newcomer:

"You have a great bloodthirstiness, benefactor."

"Seventh rank!"

The man in black's expression changed drastically, and he turned and fled.
"It's a trap, get out of here!"

"Leave?" Zhu Ju chuckled.
"Now that we're here, why rush to leave?"

"senior."

"I'd like to trouble you to capture these three men. I want to see who is so determined to kill me."

"Alas!" Upon hearing this, Daoist Jingyun sighed softly, and with a light step, he moved like a gentle breeze.

Cloud Step!

Jingyun Daoist, wielding his whisk, transformed into afterimages, and in just a few flashes, three people fell to the ground.

The difference between the seventh and eighth ranks is only one rank, but their strength is worlds apart.

not to mention.

The methods practiced by Daoist Jingyun were not ordinary, but rather a highly sought-after lineage, which further widened the gap between them.

"Someone is coming."

Zhu Ju said in a low voice:

"Tear off their masks!"

"Yes." The guard responded, stepped forward and pulled off the masks of the three people, and the next moment there was a gasp of surprise in the room.

"Second uncle!"

Looking at that familiar face, Zhu Ju sighed, but he wasn't surprised:

"It's really you."

Where is Zhang Huzhang?

"Reporting to Young Master," a guard stepped forward and reported.

"Just now, a message came from Zhang's family saying that his son has suddenly contracted a serious illness and needs to be taken for treatment as soon as possible..."

"Yeah." Zhu Ju's eyes moved slightly:
"Second Uncle, you have some impressive skills!"
