A new day.

In the Ye Mansion, the family members are busy with the New Year's affairs, sweeping the house, asking for incense, sacrificing stoves, seals, and so on.

For Ye Fei, there was nothing to worry about, so he could retreat and cultivate for a while.

Since he was in Wudang before, after practicing water-based internal force under the guidance of Zhao Youchuan's teaching, he has hardly devoted himself to cultivation.

Although he had begun to cultivate the Intermediate Water-Based Internal Force Mind Method as early as when he went to Xishu, now that a few months had passed, he had not improved much.

Zhao Youchuan once said to him that everything in this world is composed of the five elements, and if you can practice the intermediate water-based internal force method to the extreme, most of you can perceive all the water around you, just like a swordsman can perceive the existence of a sword.

Normally, after the swordsman perceives the sword, the next step is to use the qi to resist the sword, and the practitioner of the water-based internal force, who perceives the water in nature, can then realize the use of qi to resist the water.

If you can do this, it means that you can cultivate the advanced water-based internal force method.

And now what Ye Fei can achieve is only in the form of gasification, and there is still a distance from perceiving the water of nature.

However, this also means that he can also greatly improve his internal strength by cultivating the intermediate water-based internal force heart method.

In the practice room, Ye Fei put four bowls of water in every corner.

He first practiced according to the mental method for a few hours, and then after his internal strength was improved, he closed his eyes and forced out the water-based internal force in his body, trying to perceive the existence of the four bowls of water.

Unlike using sword qi to perceive a sword, the water-based qi that is forced out of the body is dispersed like water in all directions, and it is extremely difficult to control.

The feeling is like scooping water with both hands, and there is no way to avoid the water flowing between the fingers and the place where the palms fit, and you can only watch as the water between the palms becomes less and less.

And the more you try to avoid it, the more you try to avoid it, it will only make the water flow faster.

In the first three days, Ye Fei had worked hard to cultivate and improve the water-based internal force during the day, and by the time he had used to perceive the four bowls of water at night, he had all exhausted them.

In this way, not to mention the depletion of the water-based internal force in the body, the whole person is also exhausted and exhausted.

Fortunately, he had been taking pills to strengthen his body and strengthen his foundation every day for the previous six months, and in addition, he had instructed his room to cook it for him, which would quickly restore his energy and internal strength, and he would take it on time when he finished his cultivation at night.

After drinking the medicine and after a night of meditation and pranayama, the next morning he was full of energy, full of energy, and without any signs of fatigue.

On the fourth day of the retreat and cultivation, just like the previous three days, during the day, Ye Fei had successfully completed the improvement of the Intermediate Water-based Internal Force Method, and at night, when he was about to perceive the four bowls of water, Qin Shuyue finally couldn't help but come to see him.

Qin Shuyue was still very worried that Ye Fei would be angry because of her rash visit, but she didn't know that Ye Fei was very happy after seeing her, and then hugged her and made love for a while.

Knowing that Ye Fei had barely eaten in the past few days of retreat and cultivation, Qin Shuyue specially brought a basket of big fish and meat, of course, wine was indispensable.

Seeing him gobbling up, obviously hungry, Qin Shuyue said, "Official, why don't I come to bring you food every day in the future?"

Ye Fei shook his head, "Forget it, don't send it again in the future, this retreat is dedicated to cultivation, delaying the progress may lead to the loss of previous efforts, not to mention, the most feared is the situation of going mad." ”

"Oh!" Qin Shuyue lowered her head in disappointment.

"Of course, Yue'er came to see me tonight, and I was very happy in my heart," Ye Fei smiled, "By the way, Yue'er, let me ask you a question, if you want to scoop the water with your hands, how can you stop the water from flowing away little by little?"

"It doesn't seem to work," Qin Shuyue said thoughtfully, "You can only drink the hands on your hands as soon as possible, or pour them into the bucket, so that the water can flow less." Officer, why are you asking about this?"

Hearing Qin Shuyue's words, Ye Fei suddenly felt like an initiation, and said with surprise on his face: "That's right, Yue'er, you're right, since you can't stop the water from flowing away, then don't think so much, pour the water into the bucket as soon as possible, and count as much as you can!"

After saying that, Ye Fei looked at Qin Shuyue happily, and then leaned over to Qin Shuyue's cherry lips and kissed her.

Before Qin Shuyue could understand what was going on, she was invited out of the practice room by Ye Fei.

Knowing that Ye Fei had an idea and wanted to strike while the iron was hot, Qin Shuyue was not angry, but smiled, and then left with the basket.

In the practice room, Ye Fei had already sat in the center of the practice room. Previously, he had slowly forced the water-based energy in his body out of the body little by little, but this time there was a change, he forced out nearly one-percent of the water-based internal force in his body at once, and spread the water-based energy to the four bowls of water as quickly as possible.

After the first failure, Ye Fei tried one after another, although by the tenth time, the water energy in his body was almost exhausted, and he failed to successfully perceive the four bowls of water, but he was not as lost as he was a few days ago.

As long as you follow the right path, you will achieve your goals sooner or later.

In the following days, after several successive failures, Ye Fei once again felt loss and even despair.

He felt that he was only half on the right path, and that the remaining half of the road still had to be explored.

On the ninth day of the retreat and cultivation, Ye Fei was out of the pass. Although he still couldn't perceive the four bowls of water, the water-based internal force in his body had increased significantly.

In addition, Ye Fei also practiced several sets of internal and external swordsmanship with water-based internal force, and has already penetrated these sets of swordsmanship with water-based internal force to achieve free performance.

At this time, it was already the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and he suddenly went out of the customs because he wanted to go back to the Shen family before the Chinese New Year.

The day after tomorrow is twenty-three, and she can't accompany Shen Xiaoqing for the New Year, at least she has to spend a small year with her, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for her.

When he returned to Shaoxing before, Ye Fei rode a horse back by himself, because he wanted to bring the New Year's gifts prepared for the Shen family, so he went back in a carriage with a small servant in the house.

The carriage was naturally fast but single-handed, and when it arrived at the Shen family in Shaoxing, it was already the day of the New Year.

The Shen family is a big family, and the atmosphere of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new is naturally much stronger in the Ye Mansion.

The vermilion lacquer pillars in front of the door were repainted, several lanterns on the door were also replaced, and even the two housekeepers guarding the door were also dressed in new clothes, with a smile on their faces.

When I entered the door, there were lights everywhere, and the window flowers, lanterns and blessing characters on the door were full of red and festive eyes.

Before Ye Fei arrived in Taoyuan, he saw Shen Xiaoqing.

Shen Xiaoqing was originally in the cuckoo garden to greet his father and mother, but after learning that Ye Fei was back, he hurried to greet him.

However, as soon as the two met, she snorted angrily.
