Chapter 5: The Fountain of Cleansing the Heart

"Whoosh"

The strong wind swept by, Qi Yue was forcibly interrupted, the sword qi suddenly disappeared into invisibility, and he didn't stand firmly, he took a few steps back, and sat on the ground with weak legs

"Huh

His expression was gloomy, and he glanced at the Breaking Wave Sword in his hand, and it returned to its previous appearance, and the strange wave patterns on the sword body also disappeared.

looked at the old man who interrupted him, and frowned slightly, "Senior, why did you interrupt me?" It was not that Qi Yue wanted to blame him, but that he thought that he should be able to exert stronger strength, so he was a little unwilling.

The old man shook his head in disappointment, "Although this sword technique is extremely powerful, it can allow you to exert a power equivalent to the early stage of the True Martial Realm in the Hundred Veins Realm, but it is not suitable for you, it is best not to use it in the future."

"Not suit......able? Don't go, senior!" the old man didn't explain much, and turned around and walked directly to another room.

It's still the same size room, but there are rows of stone locks of different sizes in this room, engraved with ten catties, twenty catties, fifty catties, one hundred catties, etc., the largest is the giant stone lock in the rightmost corner, with the words "three thousand jin" written on it.

The old man pointed at the stone lock with an expressionless face, "Don't use internal force, do your best to lift the stone lock and see"

Hearing this, Qi Yue walked slowly to him, looked left and right, and measured his strength to the second stone lock on the left, on which was written the words twenty catties. The left hand bends down and lifts it up with force, easily lifting it above the head.

"It's too light, let's try something else" I felt that I should still have some strength left, so I looked at the few stone locks on the right, and my eyes didn't linger too much. Directly crossed the thirty or forty to the stone lock the size of a grinding disc with the words fifty catties written on it, clenched it with one hand, and first tried the weight, and felt that there was no problem.

"Yikes!"

Hold your breath and concentrate, gritted your teeth, and suddenly lifted it up, and the stone lock of a full fifty catties was lifted directly to the chest, and after a slight pause, "Ah~" The left arm was raised directly above the head with all his might.

"Bang!"

The stone lock fell to the ground suddenly, smashing the stone slab with a sudden shock. Rubbing his sore shoulders, he looked at the sixty catties of stone locks on his right and hesitated, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to take advantage of today's opportunity to try how much strength he had.

"No, it's too heavy," he put down his right hand and lifted half of the ninety pound stone lock, shook his head and said.

"Sixty pounds in the left hand, eighty pounds in the right hand, it seems that your strength is still very small and needs to be improved" This is the old man's final judgment.

After finishing speaking, he was about to turn around and continue to the next room, Qi Yue's eyes quickly grabbed the other party, "Senior, you wait a while"

"First attacked the black stone, and now you want to raise the stone lock, what does this mean?"

The old man glanced at Qi Yue with a little appreciation, did not continue walking, and said slowly, "Every new disciple will be arranged here to test, the first level is to test your habits, specific cultivation and maximum combat power that can be exerted, etc., from these aspects, you can deduce the most suitable exercises for your cultivation, if these things are not clear, you will have endless troubles on the road of martial arts in the future."

Bowing his head slightly, he thought about it carefully, and seemed to have some truth in what he said, so he continued to listen.

"This second level is to test your bones. My disciple of the Ziyang Sword Sect is a master of swordsmanship, but no matter what kind of swordsmanship, even most of the martial arts in the world, they all have high requirements for their own roots, especially the strength of their arms, if your strength is insufficient, no matter how powerful the swordsmanship is, it is just a showcase. Although your internal strength is much stronger than that of people with the same cultivation, you must have not paid attention to cultivating yourself before, and the strength of the arms of a martial artist in the middle of the ordinary Hundred Veins Realm is at least more than a hundred catties, and you are still a little worse now, but you are also worried, I will recommend a book of external martial arts for you to refine the body in a while, and go back and slowly hone it."

Qi Yue had never heard of this theory before, Liuyunmen's martial arts only focused on inner cultivation, and no one had ever told him the importance of his own strength, and today he heard the old man say this, and his heart said, "No wonder my internal strength is obviously stronger than others, but every time I face the enemy, I always feel powerless, it turns out that this is the case."

Seeing Qi Yue's expression as if he had gained, the old man's eternal face also had a hint of imperceptible relief, "As for the next final level, it is to comprehensively observe the martial arts you have learned and give you some pertinent advice, so don't be afraid, come with me"

Hearing him explain like this, Qi Yue could be regarded as relieved, and respectfully followed the old man until he walked to a hall.

This is a martial arts arena, surrounded by swords, guns, swords, halberds and other blades, stone locks to train strength, and many kinds of strange secret weapons, and in the center of the field is an open space the size of seven or eight rooms in the previous room.

The old man walked to the center of the venue with his hands in his hands, and looked up at Qi Yue, "Show me everything you have learned."

"Yes, please give me more advice!"

A series of martial arts techniques, such as the Hundred Battles Crazy Sand Sword Technique, the Nine Changes of Flowing Clouds, the Basic Sword Technique, the Star Picking Vertical, and the Hundred Zhangyue, were displayed one by one by Qi Yue in this martial arts hall.

For the first time, he used all the martial arts he had learned, unlike when he was caught off guard in the previous battle, he was only used to save his life, and he didn't notice the mystery of these martial arts at all. And this time, it feels completely different, an indescribable feeling, whether it is a lot of moves or body techniques, it seems a little redundant, you can obviously stab the opponent with a sword to solve your own difficulties, or you can attack the enemy unprepared, but you can just blindly use the body to dodge, leading to a good opportunity for measures.

The old man on the side also seemed to have seen it, but he was not in a hurry to interrupt him, but encouraged Qi Yue to continue to perform with interest.

"Drink!"

Dozens of flying stones condensed by internal force burst out, blasting the distant wall into potholes and dilapidated pieces, with the last trick of flying sand attack, Qi Yue retracted his sword and calmed down, his eyes were slightly closed, and he stood still in place for a long time.

"How's it going?" said the old man, who walked up to him with his hands in his hands, and asked cheerfully.

The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and no one knew what Qi Yue knew, but he just opened his eyes and saluted respectfully, "Thank you seniors for your advice!"

Stroking his beard with one hand, he smiled and closed his eyes slightly, "Oh, thank me for what?"

"If it weren't for today's seniors asking me to put all I have learned, I don't know how many wrongful paths I would have to take, so this thank you is deserved."

"Very good, it seems that you do have some understanding, since this is the case, come with me!" his left hand led to the stairs on the second floor of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and he took the lead in lifting his old body and walking upward.

When he realized that he was about to get the secret martial arts of the Ziyang Sword Sect, which was known as the number one sect of the righteous path, Qi Yue was excited, but he didn't dare to slow down, and strode up the stairs.

If the first layer of the Hidden Sword Pavilion is a bit unworthy of the name, this second time is indeed a sea of cheats, and there is no edge in sight at a glance, and the accumulation of hundreds of years is not trivial.

Picked up a book of cheats beside him, and after testing it with the system, it was all seventh-grade martial arts, which showed the depth of the Purple Yang Sword Sect.

While he was reading at will, the old man had already walked over with two cheats in his hand and handed them to him.

"You don't lack the body method and the internal strength and heart method, although these two cheats are not very advanced martial arts, but they are the most suitable for you at present."

"Green Pine Sword" and "Rock Breaking Fist" are very common names, and they can even be said to be the martial arts of the bad street, and some doubts don't know what the other party means.

"The sword technique before you is too aggressive, although the power is strong, but hurting others and hurting yourself is not in line with my righteous path exercises, and this green pine sword technique is gentle and gentle, which is just suitable for beginners in swordsmanship. As for the Rock Breaker, you can have hand-to-hand combat and increase your arm strength. These two exercises can make up for your lack of hand-to-hand fighting ability and unstable foundation," the old man explained dutifully.

Qi Yue did not look down on these two exercises because of the ordinariness of his name, on the contrary, as the old man said, he practiced martial arts too late and took various pills all the way to improve his cultivation, and the martial arts he learned were all very high-grade martial arts, which led to an unstable foundation.

"Thank you seniors, can the juniors go back to practice?" Now that the things have been obtained, Qi Yue naturally can't wait to go back and try what he thinks.

The old man stretched out his hand to stop and said, "Don't worry, the path of martial arts must be guided by someone to prevent you from going astray, Senior Brother has already instructed you to go to Jiang Yuan's nephew under Senior Sister Shuxue, and let him guide you in your next practice."

"Senior Brother Jiang Yuan, isn't he injured?" Hearing this name, Qi Yue's reaction was still relatively large, he had always wanted to see the other party before, but he didn't expect to go around and come back in the end.

"It's okay, his injury is no longer in trouble, there is no problem guiding your cultivation, you left the Hidden Sword Pavilion and went in the direction of the Cleansing Heart Spring, he was waiting for you there"

"Yes, the disciple has taken his leave!"

............

With two cheats in his arms, the impulse in his heart was naturally difficult to suppress, but he heard the old man say that Jiang Yuan had been waiting for him in the Heart Purification Spring for a long time, and he couldn't bear to wait for the other party when he thought that the other party was injured.

The stone tablet next to the valley mouth is engraved with the words "Purifying Heart Spring Forbidden Land", but there are no disciples guarding the door, thinking that he is here on order, so he has no scruples, and walks in with his head held high.

There is nothing peculiar in the valley, that is, there are more animals in the forest, so they didn't go far, some hares, deer, etc. kept shuttling by the roadside, and after seeing him, they were not afraid, and looked at Qi Yue with cute eyes, as if they were thinking about what kind of creature the other party was, and they looked so strange.
