Start from the Martial Arts

Outer city.

Shiqiaofang.

Fangzhai courtyard.

Fang Xiu stood in the courtyard, Hunyuan Zhenqi gathered on his legs.

Whoosh!

I saw him flying and landing on the trunk of the loquat tree, and his whole body rose into the air, more than ten feet high from the ground.

As the body fell, it suddenly spun in mid-air.

I saw his legs kicking together, and the movements of his legs were dense and falling like raindrops. The shadows of his legs overlapped, as if five or six legs were kicked out at the same time. It was dizzying and made it difficult to see where the footing would end.

The moment he landed, his movements did not pause at all, and his figure flashed and moved in the courtyard, as fast as the wind.

After a while, Fang Xiu stopped, sweating slightly on his forehead.

"Sure enough, I have already practiced to the limit... If I want to make progress, I have to wait until I gain strength."

After twenty days of practice, he has mastered the third style of the Wind Kick, Heavy Rain and Wind.

However, in order to truly unleash the power of this move, it must be matched with strength.

Fang Xiu has no strength, only true energy.

Although Zhenqi can greatly strengthen the body, it cannot bring the powerful attack and defense power to the body like Jinli.

Under the infusion of zhenqi, he can kick off an iron rod with one kick, but if he is slashed by a sword, his legs will still be injured.

If the strength were attached to both legs, it would be enough to kick the sword into pieces and break it.

External skills pursue the ultimate lethality and defensive power, and strength is the biggest reliance.

Wherever the strength is attached to the body, it is a weapon.

Because of this, once an external martial artist reaches old age and their energy and blood decline, their strength will become weaker and their strength will be greatly reduced.

"Although the lethality is insufficient, the speed is not slow."

Fang Xiu is basically satisfied with the results of the past twenty days of practice.

His current speed is more than twice as fast as before. With the long pulse of Hunyuan Zhenqi, ordinary Mingjin martial arts masters cannot catch up.

"When White Star's red-blooded Carp King arrives, we can almost try to practice Ice Palm."

Fang Xiu went back to the room and washed his face.

More than half of the age of seventeen has passed.

There are still less than two and a half years until the side effects of [Death Young] take effect.

Originally, Fang Xiu had doubts about whether he could master Ming Jin at the age of twenty.

After all, Chang Suqing was supported by a large family and was of high quality. He practiced martial arts two years earlier than him, and was qualified to become a Ming Jin martial arts master at the age of nineteen.

However, after absorbing Ling Shuang's seven years of skill, he clearly felt that the effect of tempering Qi and blood had become stronger, and his learning ability had further improved.

He is now equally confident that he will become a martial artist before the age of twenty, and even master the three powers of Thunder, Gale, and Ice at the same time.

"Is there anyone?! Is Mr. Fang at home?!"

There was a knock on the door in the front yard.

Fang Xiu heard the sound and rushed over, opening the door.

I saw a young man from Ye Mansion stepping forward and bowing his hands, "I have met Young Master Fang. My lady invites Young Master Fang to come over."

There was a carriage parked at the foot of the steps.

"Okay." Fang Xiu nodded, closed the door, and got into the carriage.

About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived at Mingyu Square in the north of the outer city.

Fang Xiu entered Ye's house, and under the guidance of the maid Xiaolu, he entered the backyard and came to the outside of the wing.

"Miss Seven, Mr. Fang is here."

"Please come in, Mr. Fang."

"yes."

Xiao Lu pushed open the door, and Fang Xiu quickly entered the side room to avoid too much air conditioning entering the room.

When he entered the room, he found that Ye Jin'er was not huddled on the mat like before, but was sitting at the table, drinking hot tea with Su Lingyun.

"Senior Sister Su."

Fang Xiu bowed his hands and saw Ye Jin'er's rosy complexion. He smiled and said, "Miss Ye looks much better."

"Sometimes the body will feel better." Ye Jin'er nodded lightly.

"I wonder why Miss Ye summoned me here?"

Fang Xiu said seriously.

Ye Jin'er paused, and Su Lingyun was the first to speak: "The Ye family's goods were robbed by Heiyun Village."

"The Ye family's goods were robbed? When did it happen?"

Fang Xiu was shocked.

Heiyun Village is entrenched between Qingshi County and Tianze Prefecture. It is the strongest bandit force among the many cottages. The leader of the village is a martial artist in his prime.

However, Heiyun Village generally does not provoke forces with martial arts masters.

Even though Ye Jin'er was only a concubine, she was still the seventh young lady of the Ye family in Fucheng.

There is no reason for Heiyun Village to offend the Ye family for a batch of cloth.

"Just half a month ago." Ye Jin'er added.

Su Lingyun looked unhappy and said angrily:

"Junior brother Fang, you are also a worshiper of the Ye family after all.

Why don't you care about the Ye family's affairs at all? Did you get your salary in vain?

The newly arrived priests have already taken the initiative to ask Ying to resolve the matter.

It's better for you, you still have to send someone to invite him. "

"..." Fang Xiu remained silent. This matter was indeed his fault.

"Lingyun, Mr. Fang is not to blame for this... Heiyun Village didn't even give the two martial artists the honor of being worshiped, so it would be useless even if he knew about it." Ye Jin'er said.

"Whether it's useful or not is one thing, but not caring about the Ye family's affairs is another."

Su Lingyun refused to give up.

"I wonder what I can do?" Fang Xiu couldn't argue and asked proactively.

Su Lingyun said seriously: "I asked my father for help in this matter, and he has sent someone to come forward to make peace.

However, Heiyun Village said the goods could be returned, but it was freezing cold and the roads were difficult.

They said they would wait until the snow melts in spring before returning the goods.

When the time comes, I will go with the Ye family's team, and you will go too. "

"After spring starts? Isn't there still more than a month?" Fang Xiu was startled. It was only the beginning of February, and the snow in the mountains would not melt until at least March.

"It is said that Heiyun Village has a new village owner, and he wants to use this to establish his authority..." Ye Jin'er's curved eyebrows frowned slightly.

"..." Fang Xiu felt that things might not be that simple.

"Don't worry, this matter has been agreed upon, it's just a formality. Everyone who goes there will be paid a lot of money, otherwise what's the use of letting you, a skin-grinding warrior, go."

Seeing Fang Xiu's silence, Su Lingyun was a little dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, Miss Ye, I will definitely set off with the team on time." Fang Xiu came back to his senses.

"I don't know if Mr. Fang has successfully polished his skin. Do you still lack the medicinal materials to break the barrier?"

Ye Jin'er nodded.

"..." Fang Xiu's expression froze.

"How can it be so easy to achieve great success in microdermabrasion?" Su Lingyun said angrily, "Sister Ye, I shouldn't have said this originally, but you are treating the people below..."

"Sister Lingyun, aren't you busy with something? You should go back first." Ye Jin'er didn't let her continue.

"You're just too kind!" Su Lingyun had no choice but to glare at Fang Xiu, then stood up and left.

"Master Fang, the question I just asked..."

Ye Jin'er asked.

"To be honest, on the third day after Miss Ye purchased blood ginseng for me, I had already broken through the meat barrier." Fang Xiu told the truth.

"So early?!" Ye Jin'er was surprised, "Then you just..."

"Senior Sister Su is here, it's inconvenient to say some things." Fang Xiu paused and added at the end.

"I know Miss Ye hates people who tell lies. I don't want to expose the secret, and I can't lie to you, so I can only stay silent."

"Is that so..." Ye Jin'er was startled, and a glimmer of light flashed through her bright peach blossom eyes.

"Young Master Fang should have made a lot of progress during this time, right?"

"..." Fang Xiu was silent for a moment, then muttered: "So-so."

Ye Jin'er was surprised and looked at Fang Xiu intently, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, half-smiling.

Fang Xiu felt guilty when she saw him.

This improvement may seem great to outsiders, but he clearly isn't lying about his high standards for himself.

"Master Fang is really...cough cough cough!" Ye Jin'er smiled, but the next moment she suddenly coughed violently. She covered her heart and curled up on the stool.

"Miss Ye!"

Fang Xiu saw Ye Jin'er about to fall off the stool, so he quickly went to help her and grabbed her shoulders.

"Cough cough cough..."

Ye Jin'er's chest heaved violently, the jade button on the top of her collar collapsed, and a white jade orb slipped out from her chest and touched Fang Xiu's wrist.

The warm touch became scalding hot in a very short time.

At the same time, the zhenqi in Fang Xiu's body quickly became active.

He looked intently and saw that the white jade orb was emitting an imperceptible fluorescent light.

"This is......"

"Medicine... medicine..." Ye Jin'er's weak voice brought Fang Xiu back to his senses instantly.

"Little green girl! Little green girl!" Fang Xiu shouted loudly toward the outside.

"Miss Ye, I'm offended."

Seeing that Ye Jin'er's body had softened, Fang Xiu picked her up.

"So light..."

"Miss Seventh!" Fang Xiu carried Ye Jin'er to the couch in the back room, and Xiao Lu rushed over after hearing the sound.

She quickly found a small bottle from the cabinet, poured out a pungent red pill and fed it to Ye Jin'er.

Not long after, Ye Jin'er regained his breath and gradually fell asleep.

Xiao Lu put the medicine bottle away and stuffed the white jade orb back into Ye Jin'er's chest.

Fang Xiu looked at Ye Jin'er's temples wet with sweat and her brows that tightened in her sleep, and couldn't help but ask:

"Little green girl, Miss Ye..."

"Miss Qi has been suffering from a strange disease since she was a child. She has seen all kinds of miracle doctors, but they all said there is no cure. Unless an innate master consumes his energy every month to warm and nourish the body, he will not live to be thirty... Miss, she is such a nice person, why..." Xiaolu couldn't help sobbing when she got to the point where she was sad.

Fang Xiu comforted her, but her eyes stayed on Ye Jin'er's chest.

He raised his right hand, and the active energy in his body had calmed down.

The burning sensation of contact with the white jade orb has not disappeared.
