"Miss, she, she...... She's just an ordinary person...... Just an ordinary person. ”

Lao Wu's voice became lower and lower, he had always been calm, but at this time, he deliberately avoided Xu Chen's gaze, and his speech was also vague.

Xu Chen's jaw bulged slightly, and his lips moved lightly a few times, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"Young master, it's better for you to rest early, there is still a month before the test, and you have to work harder. By the way, tomorrow you have to go to the Sword Pavilion to pick up weapons and sword records! I'll go first. ”

The two were stunned for a long time, and Lao Wu finally said a dispensable word, turned around and left.

Looking at Lao Wu's departing back, Xu Chen shook his head helplessly, he was sure that Lao Wu must have something to hide from him, and it was about his mother. But he also knows that since the other party doesn't want to say, he can't get the answer if he asks aggressively, and even if he gets it, it may not be true.

Lao Wu's feeling in Xu Chen's heart changed a little suddenly. Xu Chen sat on the bed stupidly and did not move, and his questions lingered.

Nearly an hour passed, and Xu Chen finally recovered from his sluggishness. It wasn't that he had already guessed the answer, but that he suddenly realized what was most urgent right now.

He washed himself briefly, sat cross-legged on the bed again, palms up on his knees, and breathed rhythmically.

Lao Wu told him that there was only yin and yang between yin cultivation and orthodox cultivation, and there was no other difference, so Xu Chen used the exercises of orthodox cultivation to adjust his internal breath, and at the same time sensed the aura that was not easy to detect from the outside world.

After a while, countless invisible breaths slowly surged towards Xu Chen, quietly entering his body, and with the flow of blood, this breath kept running in Xu Chen's body.

Xu Chen, who has reached the spiritual convergence period, can naturally sense the aura of all things in the outside world, and can also merge the aura into the body. It's just that although this breath is getting more and more full and pure, Xu Chen doesn't know how to use it next.

"It seems that tomorrow not only will I go to the weapon and sword book, but I will also get a copy of the cultivation method of the second realm!"

......

Early the next morning.

Sunlight gently poured into the room.

Xu Chen slowly opened his sleepy eyes, and the dark sockets showed that he had hardly slept all night. He hurriedly washed up and ate some herbs according to Lao Wu's instructions.

Before the hour, Xu Chen walked to the square in the backyard with vigorous steps again. But this time, his face was full of confidence, confident but not arrogant.

The mood was much more relaxed, and Xu Chen finally had the leisure to carefully observe this long-lost square.

The square in the backyard of Xufu covers an area of less than one acre, which is circular, and the ground is paved with neat and smooth ashlar stones. In the middle of the square is a huge yin-yang fish, which is far opposite to the eight hanging faces at the edge of the square, which is very beautiful.

At this time, the square was still the same as in the past, the children of the Xu family were cultivating seriously, and from time to time there would be reprimands from several masters.

Xu Chen walked towards the edge of the square, where Elder Sun was pacing leisurely, the comfort on his face was indescribable. However, when he suddenly found that Xu Chen walked over slowly, the comfort on his face suddenly disappeared, and his face suddenly became calm, and he was a little stiff calmly.

"Big Young Master, didn't I say it, you just need to take care of your body now, you don't need to come here every day, and the rest of the things will be talked about later!" Before Xu Chen could speak, Elder Sun said a little helplessly.

Xu Chen didn't get angry because of the other party's slackness, but instead said with a respectful salute: "Elder Sun, I want to come today to take the second realm exercises. ”

"Convergence Scroll?"

Elder Sun was stunned for a moment, then squinted his eyes and laughed, as if he didn't feel the confidence on Xu Chen's face at all, "Young Master, you are too anxious, I know that you are eager to cultivate, but the matter of cultivation has to be taken step by step, and if you swallow too much, you can't chew it." Besides, in your current situation, if you read the second realm formula, you will distract your energy, and you will only do a hundred harms but no good. ”

Facing Elder Sun's polite contempt, the corners of Xu Chen's mouth turned up slightly, "Elder Sun, I'm just afraid that I will trouble you again when I come over in the future, so I ......"

"So you actually want to take it a few years in advance?" Elder Sun said softly before Xu Chen could finish speaking, the helplessness in his original tone had turned into impatience. Every teacher will be especially fond of excellent students, and for those students who seem hopeless, no matter how respectful or polite he looks on the outside, he will inevitably be inexplicably snubbed in his heart.

Xu Chen was naturally extremely indignant in his heart, but he tried his best to control his emotions, he naturally couldn't say that he had reached the Convergence Spirit Realm, even if he did, I was afraid that Elder Sun would scoff at it for a while, thinking that he had paranoia.

Thinking of this, Xu Chen's voice was slightly cold, "Elder Sun, I just want to see more, wouldn't it be better if it could help my current cultivation? Besides, other children can borrow it casually, why can't I?"

When Elder Sun heard this, his face suddenly sank, and if he didn't listen to his advice, he didn't trust himself and despised himself.

In his heart, the more incompetent a person is, the more ambitious he is, unfortunately, Xu Chen is this kind of person in his heart. He nodded with a little disdain, and said coldly: "Okay! Since the eldest young master's heart is higher than the sky, then why should I stop it, not to mention that you are the eldest young master of this Xu family, and you may become the master of this Xu family in the future, I am just an elder of the Xu family, I think you are too modest to take only the second volume." ”

As he spoke, Elder Sun waved his hand into the distance and said in a loud voice, "Sword Master Wang, come over here." ”

I saw a middle-aged man in the distance who was instructing a disciple to practice, and said a few words to a child next to him, hurriedly ran over, stretched out his hand and hugged his fists, and said, "Elder Sun, what are you calling me again?"

Elder Sun nodded, and said playfully, "Have you brought all your tricks here?"

"Oh, yes, I've always had the practice with me, you'......"

"Lend it to me first, and I'll pay it back to you another day!"

"Oh! good!" Outside of his hand, Master Wang took out a thick booklet from the placket of his shirt and handed it to Elder Sun with both hands.

Elder Sun took it with one hand, flipped it over roughly, and asked softly, "Sword Master Wang, why did you only bring the magic techniques of the first to three realms, and what about the rest?"

Wang Jianshi smiled, "Elder Sun, you're making fun of me again! I'm only in the late stage of the second realm now, and I'm waiting to break through the realm, so it's useless to take other tricks!"

"Haha! Look at you! It's the life of a swordsman for the rest of your life. Elder Sun scolded with a smile, but he glanced sideways at Xu Chen, "Sword Master Wang, you can't compare this point with our eldest young master, now the eldest young master even has to read the magic of the fifth realm, let's see! As he spoke, Elder Sun deliberately raised his tone a few times, and even the others who were busy cultivating in the distance could hear it clearly, and they cast "surprised" glances.

But those children probably thought of the sentence in "Warring States Policy" in their hearts: "What kind of birdman is this?

As soon as Wang Jianshi heard this, he knew that Elder Sun was laughing at Xu Chen, but as an ordinary sword master in Xu Mansion, he could only smile ashamedly and said, "That's natural, the eldest young master is extremely talented, of course I can't compare." ”

Elder Sun flipped the magic trick in his hand contemptuously, turned around and bowed respectfully to Xu Chen, and said in a weird manner: "Young Master, I'm really sorry, there is only the magic trick to the third realm here, why don't you make do with it first." ”

Xu Chen naturally knew that Elder Sun was humiliating himself, but after he glanced at it lightly, he smiled softly, took the booklet casually, and said with a cold face: "Thank you, Elder Sun, for making you smile." ”

After speaking, Xu Chen turned around and left, he didn't have time to accompany Elder Sun's boring jokes, not to mention, there were so many disdainful and sneering faces not far away.

Xu Chen took a big stride and went straight to the Sword Pavilion not far from the square.

The Sword Pavilion is the important place of the Xu family, which treasures all kinds of sword duels, of course, there are some weapons used by cultivators, but most of them are ordinary steel swords.

The elders of this Sword Pavilion naturally had someone to take care of them, but the person who was guarding them at this time was none other than Xu Yang's master, Elder Huang. Elder Huang is almost the highest person in the Xu family except for the head of the family, which shows the importance of this Sword Pavilion to the Xu family.

After a while, Xu Chen came to the door of the Sword Pavilion, and the plaque above the door had gold characters on a black background, showing mystery and majesty.

Xu Chen pushed the door in.

However, the first glance when he looked up stunned him. It turned out that Elder Huang was sitting leisurely in front of a large row of bookshelves, talking and laughing with a young man beside him, and that young man was Xu Yang.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, the two of them looked at the door at the same time, and when they saw that it was Xu Chen, Elder Huang smiled and greeted him, while the opposite was Xu Yang behind him.

Xu Yang saw that Xu Chen was coming, so he pinned his head to the side, and he didn't bother to take a look. The matter between him and Xu Chen has actually been clarified a long time ago, but he just didn't turn his face in public.

"Haha! How can the eldest young master be in the mood to come here! It's an honor and honor!"

Elder Huang asked politely.

Xu Chen gave a salute and said, "Elder Huang, I came here today to get a steel sword, and then choose a sword to decide." ”

"Oh, that's natural, young master, you can just take a look for yourself, and you can take whatever you choose. Elder Huang was unusually cheerful and took Xu Chen to a large row of bookshelves.

The sword duels treasured in the Sword Pavilion are varied and vast. Although the Xu family can only be regarded as mediocre in terms of cultivation in the past dynasties, the heads of the previous generations have an inexplicable habit of collecting sword duels. No one in the Xu family has ever reached the cultivation of the fifth realm, but this sword pavilion has a large number of sword duels above the fifth order, and even some of the seventh and eighth orders, the rich people are naturally very willful, although they know that they can't use it at all, but maybe they are very comfortable to look at.

"Elder Huang, I'm not familiar with these yet, can you recommend a few books for me?"

Xu Chen turned his head to look at Elder Huang and asked.

"Good!"

Elder Huang nodded and closed his thoughts.

At this moment, Xu Yang, who had been standing next to him, let out a contemptuous sound from his nostrils.

"Master, you're really picky! Although there are a lot of books in the Sword Pavilion, aren't there only a few that can be practiced in the Qi Realm? Is it still necessary to choose?"
