"Di Yang, do you know what internal force means for a martial artist?" The master and apprentice were on their way to Shuiluo City, and Qi Lan was already ready to impart knowledge to him.

"I know. Di Yang said excitedly: "Internal force refers to the qi in the human body. ”

"That's right, but do you know how this qi exists?" Qi Lan asked again

"This, I don't know. Di Yang said embarrassedly.

"To put it simply, qi is an illusory thing that doesn't actually exist for most people. If people want to move, they must rely on qi and blood to operate, so how the blood moves, of course, depends on qi. Therefore, qi is both a human and a warrior, and it is the foundation of the survival of all things in the world. ”

"Oh, I understand, master," Di Yang suddenly realized, "that is to say, qi is illusory, and it also exists, ordinary people can't feel it, but people who can feel the existence of qi are the foundation that can become martial artists." ”

Qi Lan nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's very good, use your consciousness to control the operation of qi, this is the cultivation of imperial qi." ”

"Constantly controlling one's qi to revolve around one's body and absorbing qi from the outside world to strengthen oneself is the method of martial arts cultivation. ”

Di Yang said, "It's so simple, I thought the various magic skills mentioned by the eldest brother were very powerful, it turned out to be the same method." ”

Qi Lan said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, the various divine skills circulating in the martial arts world are the luck meridians when gathering qi, and the generation of great powers can create their own running routes that can strengthen their internal forces faster than ordinary methods." The more efficient you are at strengthening your internal forces, the more rare and precious the exercises will be. ”

"Then master, how am I going to cultivate now. When it comes to cultivation, Di Yang seems very interested, after all, a teenager like him, who doesn't have a heroic dream?

Qi Lan sorted out his thoughts and said, "Your current cultivation goal is to master the internal force in your body as soon as possible, and there has never been a situation like you where the acquired internal force appears. In particular, it is not naturally generated, as if it was catalyzed by drugs, so you have to be extra careful in your cultivation in the future. ”

"Master, I see. ”

"First of all, the method of internal force operation is gas collection and bursting, which is simply the absorption and release of internal force. Absorbing the qi from the outside world can strengthen itself, and releasing its own qi can launch an attack. You first adjust your breathing rate and try to sense the air from the outside world. ”

Now Qi Lan and Di Yang are in a state of being in a hurry, and it is difficult to calm down and sense the changes in the outside world in the state of action. But for Di Yang.

"Master, I sensed it. ”

Qi Lan was shocked in his heart, this son was simply a genius. "You try to absorb the qi from the outside world into your body, and then manipulate the qi in your body to merge with these qi, and then return to the sea of qi again. ”

Originally, he thought that at least he didn't need to speak for half a day, but what he didn't expect was that just an hour later, Di Yang reopened his eyes and said, "Master, I feel that my internal strength seems to have really increased."

At this time, Qi Lan was already numb, what kind of weirdness was this, when he sensed the combination of the outside world and the body, he broke the record of the sect, and it took three and a half hours. Now this kid catches up in an hour?

"You can now freely control the internal force?" Qi Lan asked

"Yes, it's like I have an extra pair of hands and feet" Di Yang happily ran the internal force, one would appear on his feet, and the other would appear on his hands.

"It's good to blow up on the balls of our feet before we land so we can pick up the pace. Let's go to Shuiluo City first. ”

"Master, what are we going to Shuiluo City for this trip?" Just a little adaptation to Di Yang can keep up with Qi Lan's footsteps.

"Sheung Shui Lu family, pave the way for the imperial court. ”

In the process of hurrying, Qi Lan continued to speed up, and Di Yang was also able to barely keep up with the master with continuous practice, so normal people had to walk for five or six days, and they had already arrived before sunset.

"Wow, it's spectacular, it's like the capital of the country compared to the Bone City. Di Yang, who had never seen the world, was simply frightened by the scene in front of him. The city is endless, and the city walls are pale blue. Under the light of the sunset at dusk, it seems that there is a glow looming.

Qi Lan explained, "Long before the birth of the Shuiluo family, Shuiluo City began to stand on the boundary of Zhongzhou, at that time it was still the rule of the Ji Dynasty, and Shuiluo City was still called Zhongzhou City. Since the decline of the Ji Dynasty and the rise of the Shuiluo family, this city has also become the family industry of the Miao family, and it has been twenty years now. ”

"Hurry up and enter the city, rest first tonight, and follow me to the Water Spirit Sect tomorrow. ”

Because he doesn't care about the world at all, Qi Lan doesn't even have any money on him, and finding an inn is just the kind of small thatched hut on the edge of the city that can only block the wind.

Of course, Emperor Yang didn't feel anything wrong with this kind of thing, because he hadn't even been to a big town.

Nothing was said all night.

When the first rays of sunlight in the early morning illuminated Shuiluo City, Qi Lan had already woken up and asked God Yang to come to the center of Shuiluo City without even eating breakfast, the Shuiluo family.

From a distance, a family realm is simply a city within a city. The towering towers, the golden pavilions, and the blue plaques hanging outside the door all show the scenery of the world's first water sect.

Because it was still very early, the gate of the Water Spirit Sect had not yet opened, and there were only two disciples standing guard outside the door.

Qi Lan stepped forward and said, "This little brother, I was tired and tired, and said that Qi Lan of Yuzhu Forest asked to see him. ”

The disciples who acted as disciples were all the kind of people who did not have a high cultivation but had very strong eyesight, so they didn't show any emotion when they saw Qi Lan at first glance, and they didn't have any disdain after hearing that this person was going to see the sect master. Anyway, it's the sect master's business to see each other, isn't their job just to run errands?

"Your Excellency, please, later, I will report to the sect master. ”

Qi Lan, who was standing outside the door and waiting, smiled slightly, the first water sect in the world, not only is it a profound martial artist, but the disciples in the door are also very cultivated.

Seeing that Master was not waiting at the door, Di Yang walked across the street and couldn't help asking, "Master, aren't we waiting?"

Qi Lan said, "Of course you have to wait, but you can't wait stupidly." At this hour, Miao Han should have just gotten up, and she had to freshen up and change clothes. Let's go have a meal first, and he's almost done. “

Di Yang answered, and the two walked to a roadside breakfast shop, ordered some snacks at random, and when they were about to start eating, a soft call sounded:

"May I ask you ......" his voice was full of doubt, and he didn't finish his sentence because he was afraid of recognizing the wrong person.

A burst of fragrant wind came, Qi Lan and Di Yang raised their heads at the same time, and saw a stunning girl standing in front of them, with fair skin, delicate facial features, and some light blue long hair casually draped behind her back. The tall figure, draped in three layers of white light yarn, behind the beauty, also reveals a breath of vitality that can make people feel comfortable.

Behind the beauty, there are three or five people accompanying her, and it seems that they should be family followers. Only a young man dressed in brocade, with a folding fan in his hand, with a thin face and a flattering smile on his face, followed the girl.

Qi Lan was a little curious, when had she seen such a beautiful woman herself. Di Yang is completely like a pig brother, his eyes are wide, his mouth is far away, and his saliva is about to flow out when he looks at the stunning beauty in front of him.

"Hmph, hillbilly, look at it again and gouge out your eyeballs!" The man with the folding fan looked arrogant, and hummed out a sentence with his swollen nostrils.

Ignoring the young man, Qi Lan stood up very gracefully, and bowed slightly at the girl and said, "This girl, you are ......"

The girl was pleasantly surprised, "It's really you, Engong, I didn't expect to see you again, I'm Lu Qing, don't you remember me?"

Qi Lan tried hard to think about it, but she still remembered that she didn't know a girl named Lu Qing. But these bright eyes felt familiar to him at the same time.

"Engong, you forgot, three days ago in Xiliangfeng, my caravan was robbed by bandits, and it was Engong who saved me. “

Qi Lan didn't know what the place name was, but when he mentioned the gang of bandits, he immediately remembered the little girl who was hiding in the carriage and crawling all over her face with fear and sadness.

At that time, I didn't realize that she was so stunning, and it seemed that emotions would greatly affect people's external beauty.

Qi Lan smiled and was about to answer, when a discordant voice sounded beside him, "Qingqing, don't be mistaken, just this little white face will save you, I see that he must be faster than a rabbit when he sees a thief." The lewd man with the folding fan walked up to Qi Lan, looked him up and down, and said with a smile on Lu Qing's face.

Before Qi Lan could speak, Di Yang heard that this gentleman had insulted his master, and immediately said angrily, "Who do you say is a little white face, my master beats you ten, oh no, a hundred!" In fact, Di Yang is really a child from the countryside, he has never seen the world, others say about him, he doesn't talk back much, if someone says that he is a master, he will definitely not bypass. Although he didn't even know what to say.

The folding fan man looked disdainful and wanted to speak again, Lu Qing stood in front of him and said, "Zhao Jin, he is my benefactor, don't go too far!"

Zhao Jinjun snorted, "The little white face can still be a benefactor, but I'm afraid that his arms and my second uncle's arms are thicker than his thighs." You're still safe with me, don't worry. ”

"You!" Di Yang was furious, and he didn't have any worries, or he didn't understand anything at all, and raised his palm like Zhao Jin patting it.

Zhao Jin never expected that this hillbilly would dare to beat himself, since he was born, it seems that no one has beaten him. For a while, he was defenseless, so he could only raise his hand to block Di Yang's palm.

As early as the first time he saw him, Qi Lan felt this Zhao Jin's cultivation, the middle level of the form realm, and he was still an entry-level martial artist.

Zhao Jin, don't look at his talent and dullness, but he has a father. His father Zhao Youqian is one of the richest people in Zhongzhou, and even if he takes the elixir, he can give Zhao Jindui a few points of cultivation. His second uncle Zhao Youming is also a celebrity in the Zhongzhou realm, and he is a strong person with a profound artistic conception. This family has wealth and strength, and there are only a few families in Zhongzhou who can compete with it. The Lu family where Lu Qing is located is barely one of them.

The arms touched, and a strange shock swayed, and then Zhao Jin flew out upside down as if he had been struck by lightning, and Emperor Yang did not move at all.

One of the family members who followed before suddenly stretched out his hand, and the internal force flowed, grabbed Zhao Jin, and sucked it in his hand.

Qi Lan's eyes moved slightly, the Xuan Realm was low-level, this was definitely not an ordinary family

Di Yang didn't expect that his casual palm would be so powerful, and he was in a daze for a while.

As soon as Zhao Jin, who was flying in the air, landed, he scolded, "Little rabbit, you dare to hit your grandfather." I'm going to have to peel you with cramps today!" Before his feet could stand firmly, he rushed forward to teach Di Yang a lesson, and the defeat just now was just regarded by him as negligence.

At this time, the gray-clothed man who had just shot slowly walked out and whispered in Zhao Jin's ear, "Young Master, don't be reckless, I'm afraid that young man is not simple." ”

Although Zhao Jin is not a fool, thinking about what happened just now, he also felt that Di Yang's strength should be stronger than himself, so he said, "Well, Young Master Ben will not make a move, you go, chop that kid who doesn't know the height of the sky into meat sauce for me." “

The gray-clothed man's figure trembled obviously, he really couldn't imagine that his young master was so stupid, he had already reminded him not to look for trouble, he still ......

Seeing that the family didn't move, Zhao Jin thought that he didn't listen to his words, and he was furious, "What, I'm still disobedient, and I don't want to think about what my identity is, my family raises you to eat dry food!"

The gray-clothed man who scolded was gray-headed, neither advancing nor retreating. In the end, I could only take a deep breath and walk forward.

He came to Di Yang and said, "Young man, you have provoked someone you shouldn't have messed with. ”

Di Yang also knew that he was reckless, looking at this yellow-faced and thin-skinned guy, he should still be the son of a big family, and it is estimated that the big family in the big city should be more powerful than the rich man in his village. I don't know if the master can handle it.

Thinking of this, Di Yang blushed a little and looked at the master, he had not just entered the master's door, and he had caused trouble for the master.

Qi Lan smiled at the red-faced Emperor Yang and said, "There's no need to take it personally, now is a good opportunity for you to practice your combat skills, he is only a beginner in the Xuan Realm, try to defeat him." “

Di Yang looked at the master's encouraging eyes, Di Yang clenched his fists hard, and said to the gray-clothed family, "I don't care who you are, come on!"

Qi Lan saw that his apprentice was fighting with that family member, although Di Yang had never studied martial arts, his comprehension of the Imperial Qi Technique was extremely high, and it was easier to stimulate his potential in battle, so Qi Lan was not worried about him at all.

Lu Qing came to Qi Lan's side and said with some concern, "Engong, although I know that you are very powerful, but the Zhao family, as the top family in Zhongzhou, is not so easy to mess with, Zhao Youqian's younger brother is a real artistic conception powerhouse, and there are many powerful martial artists who serve the family under him." Otherwise, I'll go find Sect Master Miao first and ask him to come forward to deal with this matter. ”

Qi Lan waved his hand and said, "No, a Zhao family, there is no need to trouble him." By the way, you and Sect Master Miao also know each other."

Lu Qingyan smiled, "It's my father who has some business dealings with the Water Spirit Sect, and this time I came to invite the Miao Sect Master to come to the Lu Mansion to discuss some matters." “

Qi Lan said, "I see, it just so happens that I also came to find Sect Master Miao to discuss some important matters. ”

Lu Qing suddenly said in surprise: "Since Engong wants to see Sect Master Miao, if you don't like the humble house, let's come to the banquet at noon." ”

"This ......" Qi Lan's brows moved, he hadn't heard of Lu Qing's father, but since he could invite the sect master of the Moving Water Spirit Sect, he should not be an idle person.

As he was talking, gusts of wind scattered from the front, and Qi Lan stepped forward to block Lu Qing's body and looked ahead.

The battle between Di Yang and the gray-clothed family has entered a white heat, although he doesn't know martial arts, but the use of qi is obviously flexible with that family ding, and the two are evenly matched.

"In battle, you have to find the means of attack that you are best at, and guide the qi to strengthen it, and in the process of attacking, you can also release the control of the qi, so that the qi gushes out of the body, so that the simplest qi attack can be formed. Qi Lan said.

Di Yang nodded as he re-used a set of attack methods, and after continuous practice, finally, Di Yang slapped out with one palm. Intense internal force fluctuations erupted, and a green palm print burst out from the palm, and the gray-clothed man flew away in response and fell to the ground.

"Ahem, cough, cough—" The gray-clothed man coughed violently, and a somewhat hoarse voice sounded, "Imperial Qi Jue!"

Don't look at him as a mysterious realm, but he hasn't had the opportunity to comprehend his own qi control technique, this kind of thing is hard to find, and some people can comprehend it just after they know how to control the internal force. And there are also people who are extremely poor and cannot enter that door in their lifetime. This also has a lot to do with qualifications.

"It's not a qi control technique, this can only be regarded as a high-level qi control technique" Qi Lan stepped forward, sucked Zhao Jin in the air with one hand, and threw it to the gray-clothed family like garbage, and said, "Go back and tell your master, my name is Qi Lan, and all my accounts can be counted on Miao Hanzheng's body, get out." ”

Even the attendant couldn't beat him, this person who was called the master by the attendant could still put forward the name of the sect master of the Water Spirit Sect, and the gray-clothed family didn't care about the injuries on his body, and hurriedly pulled the young master who was lying on the ground and hummed away.

"I didn't expect to know your name now. Seeing that Qi Lan was so strong, Lu Qing could still call out the name of Sect Master Miao at will, and he already knew that he was not an ordinary person.

"Heh, last time there was a special situation that was in a hurry to deal with it, it was not that Qi was unkind. Qi Lan said with a smile.

Lu Qing said, "Okay." I just wanted to know who saved me, and if I had a chance, I could find him and say thank you in person. My father has already put a lot of money on the clues to find the young man, and I want to thank him in person. Why don't you go with me, Brother Qi. ”

Qi Lan looked at the sect of the Water Spirit Sect, Miao Hanzheng hadn't come out yet, and then looked at Lu Qing who had a look of hope, so he had to say, "Okay, you notify the Miao sect master first." ”

"Okay" Lu Qing shouted excitedly, sent the family to inform the disciples of the Water Spirit Sect, and led Qi Lan to the Lu family.
