Chapter 020: Penance Outside Cultivation

When Ling Xiao returned to the inner courtyard, he calmed down after a few days of heat.

Ling Xiao didn't mind anything about this, he still cultivated tirelessly every day. In addition to using the three-point return vitality to condense the Xuan Power every night, during the day, he spent most of the time practicing the "King Kong Five Transformation Technique", and the rest of the time he went to the inner courtyard library to find some knowledge about the history of this continent and related knowledge to read, so as to increase his understanding of this world.

At present, Ling Xiao only knows the first two changes of the "King Kong Five Transformation Formula", which are the first change of "refining skin" and the second change of "refining muscles".

The first change to "refining skin" first requires strengthening all parts of the body to make the external resistance of the body reach the extreme, which is similar to the iron cloth shirt and golden bell jar that Ling Xiao knew in his previous life.

In his previous life, Ling Xiao practiced a lot of martial arts, but he did not have defensive foreign skills, and now he wants to practice the "King Kong Five Transformation Technique" The purpose is to rely on his own strength before he can protect himself, at least before facing a master who is stronger than him, he can have a little life-saving skill, so as not to be slaughtered by others.

For five consecutive days, Ling Xiao did a lot of physical exercise in the morning, such as long-distance running, frog jumping, and crouch-ups......

At noon, when the sun was shining, he took off his shirt and stood in the scorching sun for two hours, and then jumped into the cold water to cool down, and after cooling, he was attacked by foreign objects.

These are the basic steps of "refining the skin", and it can be said that this is simply a kind of perverted and masochistic cultivation method.

Today's Ling Xiao has become a low-level mystic after more than a month of cultivation, his body is becoming more and more straight, and after a few days of "skin refining", the whole person looks much stronger, and his skin is so black and shiny that it gives people a kind of vitality full of health and vitality.

At noon on the sixth day, Ling Xiao was still the same as before, walking on a horse, shirtless, with his arms outstretched, carrying two buckets full of water on the left and right, receiving the hottest and hottest roasting under the bright sun.

On his resolute and handsome face, sweat flowed like a stream, the dark muscles of his upper body became red, as if he was being grilled on the grill, and the meat on his body seemed to be ready to be eaten at any time, and two buckets full of water on his hands did not shake, and he still stayed in the bucket so calmly.

It wasn't long before the two buckets of water trembled and rippled, as if they were about to ripple out. Seeing that Ling Xiao still gritted his teeth and insisted, he looked at the reflection in front of him, and shouted in his heart, "Persistence...... Hold on to ...... It's almost two hours."

Finally, when his reflection arrived at the position he had already depicted, Ling Xiao's heart was relieved, and the bucket between his hands finally swung a few traces of water, Ling Xiao turned around, took two steps forward, poured the bucket of water in his hand into the big wooden barrel, and then jumped into the wooden barrel again.

"Here......" As soon as Ling Xiao entered the barrel, a small sound seemed to be faintly emitted, and then Ling Xiao's expression changed, and he couldn't help but let out a "his......s" sound.

At this moment, it was the cooling sound of his hot body suddenly being cold, which was like a piece of red-hot iron thrown into water.

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, and his body began to use the Vajra Five Transformation Technique to cultivate.

Gradually, Ling Xiao's nerves finally relaxed, and there was no longer that painful expression on his face.

After a while, Ling Xiao jumped out of the bucket and drank softly, "It really hurts Lao Tzu to death, it's really nothing to look for! Why did you choose this cultivation method, if others see me like this, they will think that I am a masochist."

Complaining is complaining, Ling Xiao is still a very stubborn person, as long as he chooses the path, he will stick to it.

......

As the days passed, the Ling family would usher in a great event for the family, and the annual family test would be held in the inner courtyard martial arts training ground in three days.

The younger generation of the Ling family is stepping up their cultivation, whether it is the martial apprentice level or the Xuan Scholar level, they are all striving to improve their strength, if they still stay at last year's strength, it will become the laughing stock of everyone. In the Ling family, everyone regards strength and Tianbin as more important than life.

If the strength has not improved for two consecutive years, he will be sent out of the inner courtyard and arranged to do business and manage the industry outside the Ling family, or act as a military guard to protect the Ling family's industry, and his status in the Ling family will plummet.

Or those who have not broken through the mystery before the age of twenty will also be sent out. It can be seen that the Ling family attaches great importance to martial arts, which is also a major reason why the Ling family has always been above the Li and Luo families.

Ling Xiao ignored this, as if it had nothing to do with him, he kept cultivating, and taught Bai Yuxi to cultivate in his spare time.

Although Bai Yuxi has always regarded Ling Xiao as a young master, but Ling Xiao has never regarded her as a maidservant, except for letting her serve her own simple daily life, other heavy work will not be let her do, now that he has returned to the inner courtyard, the family has also arranged four servants for his family, two male servants, and two female maids, these four Ling Xiao have made her mother dream of cherishing the Yun family to arrange their own work, so now Bai Yuxi has more free time.

Ling Xiao had already planned to let Bai Yuxi be by his side as a personal maid for the rest of his life, he didn't want his beautiful godsister to become a pet under other men's crotches. He is a normal man who likes women, especially beautiful women who want to keep them for themselves, so he chose to be selfish, unless Bai Yu falls in love with another man one day, he may let go, but he absolutely does not allow such a thing to happen, which man will dislike his own women too much.

In fact, Ling Xiao still underestimated Bai Yuxi's insistence on him in her heart, she had already chosen Ling Xiao as her young master, and she would never betray him in this life, unless she died.

Ling Xiao originally wanted to pass on the internal strength of three points to the vitality to Bai Yuxi, but this is a very domineering exercise, which is not suitable for women to cultivate, thinking about it left and right, she chose a set of internal strength mental method "Water Moon Divine Skill" practiced by a woman in her previous life for Bai Yuxi, let Bai Yuxi practice, and then teach her a set of matching sword skills "Water Moon Sword Technique".

This set of exercises and swordsmanship was created by Ling Xiao's previous life Uncle Shuiyue, Uncle Shuiyue is the only immortal master with his old ghost master, Uncle Shuiyue only accepted one female disciple in his life, but unfortunately he was killed by the ghost gate, Uncle Shuiyue was angry, with the "Shuiyue Sword Technique", even cut down the twelve congenital masters of the ghost gate, until the master of the ghost gate came in person, only to force Uncle Shuiyue to stop, and then, Uncle Shuiyue confiscated another apprentice, so he passed the exercises and sword skills mantra to Ling Xiao, saying that it was a gift to Ling Xiao's future wife.

Ling Xiao always thought of Uncle Shuiyue's delicate face that still had charm, and there would always be a satisfied smile in her heart, but it was a pity that time would not go back.

"Ouch......" A soft cry arose.

Ling Xiao came back to his senses, only to see Bai Yuxi sitting on the ground, his brows furrowed, looking uncomfortable, Ling Xiao hurriedly walked over, "What's wrong with Yuxi?"

Bai Yuxi turned back to her pretty face, and said with a far-fetched smile on her face, "Young master, I'...... I'm fine", after answering, she was about to stand up, but who knew that another pain in her feet made her stumble and fall again.

"Be careful" Ling Xiao's body flashed, and he quickly came to Bai Yuxi's side and held her up.

"Is your foot twisted?

However, Bai Yuxi lowered his head and did not answer his words.

Ling Xiao was about to ask again, but suddenly, he felt that there seemed to be two soft balls pressed on his arm, and a wonderful feeling came to him.

Ling Xiao fixed his eyes, but found that his hand was actually holding Bai Yuxi's chest, holding the two soft flesh of the other person firmly, no wonder it was so comfortable.

Ling Xiao smiled awkwardly, and reluctantly took his salty pig hand away and said, "Yes...... Sorry ......".

"I didn't ...... It's okay," Bai Yuxi replied softly with a red face.

"Come, sit down and I'll see if it's a sprain" Ling Xiao quickly changed the topic and said, secretly exclaiming in her heart, "It's so good to be flexible!"

Ling Xiao helped Bai Yuxi to the edge of the stone bench, and then took off her cloth shoes, revealing her white and delicate jade feet, round and smooth, which made people can't help but want to caress them.

Ling Xiao stroked the red and swollen feet and eyes, and said distressedly, "It's all swollen, it's okay, I'll take some cold water for you, and then rub it and you'll be fine."

After Ling Xiao said a word, he then got up and went to fetch water.

Bai Yuxi raised her delicate red face, looked at Ling Xiao's back with affectionate eyes, and her face turned into a thick smile, as if the pain she had just twisted had disappeared.

"Young Master...... It's so good!" Bai Yuxi whispered silently in his heart.

After Ling Xiao made the water, she soaked Bai Yuxi's slender feet in the water, and then transferred some Xuan Li to her feet and eyes to help activate her and reduce swelling.

After a while, the lump on Bai Yuxi's foot disappeared.

Ling Xiao carefully helped Bai Yuxi put on his shoes, and instructed, "Okay, just take a day off today, you meditate well, and tomorrow should be fine."

Bai Yuxi nodded, blushed and replied softly, "Thank you, young master."

"Silly girl, what's polite, you're the young master's daughter...... Godsister, it's only natural for my brother to take care of my sister," Ling Xiao smiled, almost revealing his heart.

Bai Yuxi glanced at Ling and said with a smile, "Young Master, am I stupid?"

"Why do you ask?" Ling Xiao said in astonishment.

"I can't even learn the sword moves you taught me," Bai Yu said embarrassedly.

Ling Xiao comforted, "Silly girl, you have only studied for a few days, kung fu is not something that can be practiced in a day, you have to have confidence in yourself, maybe you will be able to surpass the young master and me in the near future."

"I don't want to surpass the young master, as long as I don't drag the young master down," Bai Yuxi waved his hand and said.

Ling Xiao smiled and wanted to say something, but there was a loud exclamation from inside the room.

"Haha, it's broken again" The voice came from the direction of the study, needless to say that it must be Ling Zhan's shout.

Since Ling Xiao gave Ling Zhan that half-thousand-year-old black ginseng king, in these days, Ling Zhan has been cultivating three points of vitality while absorbing the medicinal properties of the thousand-year-old black ginseng king, and this is already the fifth time he has recently broken through the meridians.

Ling Zhan walked out of the room in high spirits, and the whole person looked radiant, compared to the previous sloppy, Luotuo's appearance was simply different from cloud and mud.

Meng Xiyun also came to her husband from inside the house with a happy face, and asked in an excited tone, "Brother Zhan, have you become a fifth-level martial apprentice?"

Ling Zhan looked at his wife, who still had charm, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, I have already broken through the sixth meridian, and I believe that I will be able to become a mystic again in a month at most."

"That's great," Meng Xiyun exclaimed. She never dreamed that her son and husband would be able to cultivate Xuanli again, and they would finally be able to get rid of the name of "waste father and son", and she felt extremely proud of them in her heart, and the grievances she had suffered over the years had disappeared in an instant.

"Xiyun, I have wronged you all these years, I swear that I will never let you be wronged again in the future" Ling Zhan held his wife's hand and solemnly announced.
