Chapter 16: Sparring Penance

"Hao'er, in this storage ring are the spirit stones and demon beast inner pills that I bought for you, you can transfer them to your storage ring. ”

Mu Hao nodded and took the storage ring handed over by Mu Ping. Then he whispered, "Grandpa." There are still more than two months left before the sect assessment competition, so I will retreat and practice for a while, and strive to break through as soon as possible. ”

Mu Ping nodded first, and then said with a wicked smile: "Hao'er, didn't you say that you lack practical skills? From tomorrow, grandpa will be your sparring partner to increase your actual combat skills." Okay, that's it, I'll go back to my room and rest first!"

Mu Hao, who was left confused, stood in place, and finally shook his head with a wry smile, and walked towards his room.

"Sir. The young master arranged Qian Kun, the widow of Qian Qiang, to my Mujia's Fang Market to be the deputy shopkeeper. I don't know, if it's possible. Mu Fu bent down and said respectfully to Mu Ping.

"Oh, what's going on. Mu Ping asked indifferently. Mu Ping told Mu Ping what Mu Hao had done during the day today in a relieved tone.

"Since it was arranged by Hao'er, so be it. Mu Ping smiled and nodded. "I hope Hao'er doesn't repeat his father's mistakes, but he is much better than his father in this regard. ”

Looking at the Hongmeng Qi that occupies one-twentieth of the Hongmeng room the size of 1,000 square cubic meters. Mu Hao smiled and nodded: "These Hongmeng Qi should be enough for me to break through to the fourth layer of Qi refining!"

In the early morning, a thin pale white mist shrouded the top of the back mountain for a long time. The breeze blew, and two men in white robes, one old and one young, stood in the wind, their hair messy by the wind.

"Hao'er, come and show me how you practice your 'Blazing Sun Sword Technique'. ”

Mu Hao, who heard the words, pulled out the black heavy sword behind him, and danced the first four moves of the "Blazing Sun Sword Technique" "Quetang Blade Guard, Yu Xia Chengqi, Bai Hong Tongxia, and the Scorching Sun in the Sky". Looking at Mu Hao's moves, Mu Ping nodded with satisfaction, and sighed in his heart: "Hao'er, not only is the cultivation qualification a rare "Heavenly Spirit Root" in a hundred years. Unexpectedly, the perception is so amazing. In just half a month, he practiced this "Blazing Sun Sword Technique" like this. ”

"Now Hao'er, you have almost comprehended the first four moves of this "Blazing Sun Sword Technique". Grandpa didn't have anything to advise him on. What you lack now is only actual combat experience, and now Grandpa only uses the strength of the second layer of Qi refining to fight against you. Hao'er, you deal with it well. After Mu Ping finished speaking, he pulled out the golden sword on his waist and attacked Mu Hao.

"Yu Xia Chengqi. Two identical whispers rang out in the woods. The burst of energy shattered several trees around them. Unexpectedly, Mu Hao actually had the upper hand, and Mu Ping took two steps back.

"If it weren't for the strength of the third layer of qi refining at the last moment, I am afraid that I would be defeated in the hands of this bastard boy with just one move. Mu Ping whispered in surprise. As soon as he thought of this, Mu Ping's face became extremely strange, he was cultivating the same exercises and techniques, and he used the same moves, how could there be such a big difference, could this be the horror of the "Heavenly Spirit Root"? I really couldn't think of a reason, Mu Ping attributed all this to Mu Hao's "Heavenly Spirit Root".

In fact, it is because Mu Hao's cultivation of the Eight Scenes Catalogue Gong is based on the qi of Hongmeng. Although the cultivation process has one more procedure than other immortal cultivators, this is not without rewards, and the quality of its mana is much higher than that of monks of the same level, so it is naturally not surprising that it can fight beyond the level.

"Grandpa, are you okay!" Mu Hao exclaimed as he looked at the backward Mu Ping. "It's okay, grandpa is a strong man in the foundation building period, come back. Mu Ping replied with some embarrassment. I thought silently in my heart: "It seems that I can't save my strength, as long as I control the strength, let's see where Hao'er's limit is?"

"Bang, bang, bang..."In the small woods, there were muffled sounds and low hums mixed with painful sounds, one after another...

Mu Ping's attack is extremely measured, and each attack just reaches the critical point that Mu Hao can withstand now, so that it will not seriously injure Mu Hao, but also bring him a real sense of crisis and give him a real enhancement of actual combat skills.

The kind of heart-piercing pain that the sword qi hit on his body made De Muhao's little face almost twist in pain. As the battle with Muping lengthened, the white robe he wore became more and more cracked.

"Bang!" Another sword qi struck at Mu Hao, Mu Hao who was like a wooden stake. Finally, he reached the limit of what he could bear, his legs went weak, and he collapsed.

Wheezing violently for a long time, Mu Hao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Raising his head, he smiled with difficulty: "Grandpa, my mana has been used up." After speaking, Mu Hao stood in place with the giant sword and smiled bitterly.

looked at Mu Hao, who gritted his teeth and persevered. Mu Ping's withered old face squeezed out a smile of relief, and nodded slightly: "Hao'er, it's good to be able to hold on for so long with the strength of my fourth-layer qi refining." Now this state of yours is the most suitable state for cultivation, so let's cultivate quickly. Grandpa gave you the Dharma Protector. ”

As soon as Mu Ping's words fell, Mu Hao was already sitting cross-legged on the ground and assuming a cultivation posture. Slowly absorbing the Hongmeng Qi provided by the Eight Views Gourd. Mu Hao really felt that the speed of cultivation was indeed a lot faster.

This kind of penance lasted for a month. Three days ago, Mu Hao's strength had broken through to the second layer of qi refining, and his actual battle had also been greatly improved.

"Very good, Hao'er, whether it is your use of sword moves or your ability to adapt to actual combat, you are much stronger than a month ago. The strength has advanced to the second layer of qi refining, and grandpa must use the strength of the fifth layer of qi refining to suppress you. Mu Ping nodded with a smile on his face, and there was an imperceptible exclamation in his old eyes.

In the past month, Mu Hao's resilience has exceeded his expectations. For example, today, he originally thought that fighting against the eighty-six swords was already Mu Hao's limit. But later, Mu Hao persevered to the ninety-seventh sword, which really made him sigh at the strength of his precious grandson.

"Hao'er, the 'Blazing Sun Sword Technique' is difficult to use the last three moves with your current strength. It's better to practice, the heavenly high-grade palm technique you got from that cave mansion, the broken mountain palm, to make up for your melee ability. Although long-term penance is conducive to the increase of your strength, cultivation is originally a matter of relaxation, and everything will be overcome. Mu Ping said to Mu Hao with a smile.

Listening to his grandfather Mu Ping's words, Mu Hao breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and sat on the ground to rest for a while. After his body regained his strength, he slowly got up. Climb up to the stone pier and sit up.

"Broken Mountain Palm: Heavenly high-level, melee attack technique, known for its strong attack power, refined to the fullest, one palm can easily smash a mountain, the power is comparable to the low-level magic of the Holy Rank! The only drawback of this spell is that with the increase of strength, the power will increase, and only when you reach the Jindan stage can this set of palm techniques exert the maximum power!" recalled the information about the Broken Mountain Palm in his mind. After a while, Mu Hao took a breath of cool air gently, and his attack power was comparable to that of a low-level spell of the Holy Rank?

In the world of cultivating immortals, regardless of the exercises and magic techniques, the gap between the Holy Rank and the Heavenly Rank is like a world of difference, and it cannot be said to be the same. And now, this Broken Mountain Palm, which is only a heaven-level high-level, is actually claimed to be comparable to the saint-level magic technique in terms of attack power, how can this not shock Mu Hao.

Looking at Mu Hao, who had entered the state of comprehending magic techniques, Mu Ping shook his head helplessly, and stood aside to protect Mu Hao's law. Looking at Mu Hao's immature face, Mu Ping stroked the white beard under his beard, nodded with satisfaction, and muttered to himself: "Tian'er, you gave birth to a good son." ”

"Alright, grandpa, go back. Mu Hao opened his eyes and said to Mu Ping with a smile. Looking at Mu Hao's joyful expression, Mu Ping couldn't help asking, "Hao'er, have you comprehended that broken mountain palm?" ”

Mu Hao smiled and shook his head: "Grandpa, I can't talk about comprehension." It's just a little bit of a clue, so it's kind of a beginner. ”

"In just one hour, I have comprehended the high-level magic skills of the heavenly grade, Hao'er's understanding is too terrifying!" Mu Ping smacked his lips and said secretly. Thinking of when he was young, but it took two days to comprehend the "Blazing Sun Sword Technique", Mu Ping's old face showed a rare trace of shame.

"Hao'er, you can practice well in this cultivation room. Strive to break through the third layer of qi refining as soon as possible, and achieve better results in the sect assessment competition a month later. Mu Ping said with a smile. Judging from Mu Hao's current strength, he can completely defeat all the third-level Qi refining cultivators, and it is already a certainty that he will enter the top fifty. Now Mu Ping just hopes that Mu Hao can achieve better results and get the attention of the Qianyang Sect.

Time is like water, always inadvertently, quietly slipping through the fingers.

The cool early spring has been replaced by the hot summer, and the green branches are beginning to mix with a little fruit.

It's still the same neat little room, the sun is shining in, and the spots are everywhere. On the futon in the room, the young man's eyes were closed, his hands were sealed, and his breath was as if it were natural.

Two months of penance gave the young man's delicate face a touch of perseverance, and his lips were tightly pursed, revealing a bit of stubbornness. The skin that is as fair as a woman, in more than a month of combat practice, has been slightly yellowish, and it doesn't seem to be a strong small body, but it contains a fierce explosive power like a cheetah.

"What, has the Hongmeng Qi been absorbed?" Touching his nose, Mu Hao shook his head helplessly, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and slowly closed his eyes with some joy, carefully sensing the state of the mana in his body.

After a while, Mu Hao opened his eyes, his palms were slightly clenched, and in his soft laughter, there was a surprise that could not be concealed: "Finally, have you broken through to the third layer of qi refining? Fortunately, you have broken through, and after five days, it will be the sect assessment competition!"

One month to the second level of gas refining, two months later to the third layer of gas refining. With this kind of incomparable cultivation speed, even other Heavenly Spirit Root Immortal cultivators are probably beyond the reach of the dust.

You must know that with each level, the difficulty of promotion will increase. However, judging from the current speed, Mu Hao's cultivation speed actually remained in a relatively stable state of transition, and it did not slow down due to the increase in level. This is the strength of the Eight Scenes Catalogue Gong, in each small realm, the advance speed of the small level will remain stable, and there is no such problem as the cultivation speed of the ordinary immortal cultivation method is slowing down.

Of course, under this premise, there must be sufficient Hongmeng Qi. Otherwise, Mu Hao's cultivation speed could only be described as a turtle crawl.
