Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 144 I think those prestigious sects are the real demons!

Time flies, and Xu Qing has stayed at Zhu Wu Lianhuan Manor for nearly a month.

During this period, apart from instructing Zhang Wuji in martial arts, he spent most of his time in that secret realm cultivating.

The spiritual energy within the secret realm far surpasses that of the outside world. With the aid of the heavenly peaches and other spiritual herbs, Xu Qing's power increased at an alarming rate.

The vast dantian was constantly being swept and strengthened by the surging sea of ​​true qi.

Having only been in this world for three months, Xu Qing's internal energy cultivation had reached a level as profound as the sea, like a top master who had cultivated internal energy for decades.

Such a rapid pace of progress is nothing short of a miracle!
But for Xu Qing, this was all within his expectations.

The martial arts manual he practiced, "Martial Arts Classic," gathered many peerless divine skills from all over the world, so his cultivation speed was naturally faster and more powerful.

The environment they were in was a secret realm formed by nature, an excellent place for cultivation. With the help of rare and precious materials, it was only natural that they could achieve such rapid progress.

His physical cultivation was in no way inferior to his true qi cultivation.

His skin, flesh, tendons, and bones have all been strengthened to the highest level, and the tempering and strengthening of his internal organs is now done with ease. He no longer proceeds as cautiously as he did in the previous world, but with incredible speed!
Now, Xu Qing's martial arts realm is only half a step away from the Innate Grandmaster level.

But this is only a realm of understanding. In terms of actual combat power, the power that Xu Qing can unleash is enough to rival that of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

You must know that he is a unity of essence, energy, and spirit, all of which are cultivated. The combat power that can be unleashed by the combination of the three is enough to make even a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm feel apprehensive.

Moreover, he also possesses numerous top-tier martial arts techniques, all of which are among the strongest in the world.

Their combat strength is so great that it cannot be judged solely by their martial arts level.

During this period, Xu Qing's newly accepted disciple, Zhang Wuji, also made rapid progress.

With the Nine Yang Divine Skill fully mastered, Zhang Wuji's internal energy cultivation reached the pinnacle of the martial arts world.

Now, he is cultivating the body-refining method taught by Xu Qing and has also embarked on the path of cultivating both internal and external qi, making him extremely powerful in combat.

As for methods of dealing with the enemy, Xu Qing was not in a hurry to teach them.

Zhang Wuji himself had learned the Seven Injury Fist, Wudang School's boxing and swordsmanship, and knew quite a few martial arts.

These martial arts skills are enough for Zhang Wuji to deal with most of the world's top masters.

The fundamental practice still lies in the physical body and true energy.

…………

Hongmei Mountain Villa.

In the courtyard.

Xu Qing lay on the rocking chair, constantly tempering and strengthening his internal organs. If one listened carefully, one could faintly hear thunderous sounds emanating from Xu Qing's body.

Two exceptionally beautiful and tall women stood on either side of him.

These two are none other than Zhu Jiuzhen and Wu Qingying, who are known as the Twin Beauties of the Snow Ridge.

One person poured tea, while another massaged Xu Qing's shoulders, serving her with great care.

For the past month, the two of them have taken every opportunity to perform well in front of Xu Qing in order to satisfy her.

Xu Qing closed her eyes to rest, enjoying all of this.

Xu Qing was well aware that Zhu Jiuzhen and the others' actions were instigated by Zhu Changling.

The old man firmly believed that he was an immortal descended to earth, and even Wu Lie believed him.

During this period, they worked extremely hard to meet his needs.

Xu Qing was satisfied with this; these guys knew what was good for them, so he wouldn't make things difficult for them.

After all, he wasn't a bloodthirsty person.

Killing was ultimately just a means, not something he wanted.

Zhang Wuji practiced his fist techniques in the courtyard, using them to hone his qi and blood, control his strength, and refine his entire body with the power of his true qi.

This is his homework during this period.

But today his attention was somewhat scattered, and he had difficulty concentrating.

Even with his eyes closed, Xu Qing could tell that Zhang Wuji was not in a good state.

"Stop, Wuji."

Xu Qing opened his eyes, his deep gaze seemingly able to see through everything, and stopped Zhang Wuji from practicing his martial arts.

"Master." Zhang Wuji stopped and walked over.

Zhu Jiuzhen and Wu Qingying already knew that Zhang Wuji had become Xu Qing's disciple, and their eyes were full of envy as they looked at Zhang Wuji.

In recent days, I have marveled more than once at how lucky Zhang Wuji is.

It's so easy to become an apprentice of an immortal.

Despite their diligent service to the immortals, they failed to attract their attention in the slightest.

Even their most prized possession, their beauty, had no effect.

This left the two feeling extremely defeated.

“Your mind is not calm. Practicing in this state will not lead to any progress,” Xu Qing shook his head.

"Disciple knows his mistake."

Zhang Wuji knew he was in poor condition and didn't try to explain.

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Qing asked.

A look of worry appeared on Zhang Wuji's face as he said, "Master, I have heard that the six major sects are about to gather a large number of experts to go to Bright Peak of the Ming Cult, intending to wipe out the Ming Cult."

The White-browed Eagle King, the Dharma Protector of the Ming Cult, is my maternal grandfather. He is very old, and I am truly worried about his safety!

He heard about this from casual conversation among some of the disciples in the manor.

Upon learning of this, Zhang Wuji immediately thought of going to the Ming Cult to offer his assistance.

But seeing that Xu Qing seemed unwilling to leave, he remained silent.

After all, he had just become Xu Qing's disciple and hadn't spent much time with him. In order to repay his master's kindness, he had to leave.

That's rather heartless and cruel.

Zhang Wuji, torn by inner turmoil, kept these thoughts to himself, which affected his training.

"You don't need to worry too much about this," Xu Qing said calmly.

Zhang Wuji looked at Xu Qing with a puzzled expression, unable to understand the meaning of those words.

"The six major sects have not yet fully arrived, so why are you in such a hurry?"

When the time is right, I will accompany you to the Ming Cult to help your grandfather and the Ming Cult overcome their difficulties.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wuji was immediately moved and deeply touched.

“Master, this is Wuji’s private matter, how can I trouble you with it?”

Wuji can go alone. Besides, the Ming Cult has a bad reputation. If Master stands up for the Ming Cult, it might ruin your reputation.

If Master's reputation is ruined because of Wuji, Wuji will certainly bear the blame and feel ashamed!

Zhang Wuji knew that the Ming Cult was known as the Demonic Cult in the martial arts world, hated by the righteous martial arts community, and had a very bad reputation.

If Xu Qing were to stand up for the Ming Cult because of him, he would definitely be despised and slandered by the righteous sects of the martial arts world as a member of the demonic sect.

Zhang Wuji was deeply indebted to Xu Qing and really didn't want to implicate Xu Qing because of his own personal matters.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied with Zhang Wuji.

He smiled and said, "I understand your intentions. It's just a matter of reputation. I don't care about good or bad."

Zhang Wuji opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but Xu Qing raised his hand to interrupt him: "Moreover, the Ming Cult is the most persistent force in the world in resisting the tyrannical Yuan Dynasty."

How could such a righteous sect be some kind of demonic cult?
Those so-called prestigious and righteous sects only sought personal gain, disregarding the interests of the common people, and coldly watched as the tyrannical Yuan Dynasty wantonly slaughtered Han people.

Now they are even going so far as to attack the greatest anti-Yuan force in the world, hindering the Han people's path to revival. How can such actions be considered righteous?

Xu Qing's voice was cold and disdainful of the so-called prestigious sects.

"In my opinion, what these sects are doing is truly evil and heretical!"

Xu Qing's words were like a thunderclap, resounding throughout the entire compound.

Zhu Jiuzhen and Wu Qingying's eardrums trembled, and their faces turned deathly pale. They never expected that the immortal would utter such anti-Yuan remarks.
