In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, Nu Chang appeared, with a beautiful and otherworldly temperament that no one dared to blaspheme.
"Marquis of Knowing Fate, you have made yourself so embarrassed again."
Nu Chang glanced at the man in front of him and said helplessly.
"You have to have it," Ning Chen said with a smile.
Nu Chang understood that the person in front of him didn't care about this, and didn't try to persuade her. He looked at the woman in purple and asked, "Who is this girl? Is she your new disciple?"
Ning Chen shook his head and said, "Zijing is Mingyue's personal maid. Although she is a maid, she is no different from an eldest sister. Now there are many hidden dangers in the Northern Mongolian court. I am worried about Mingyue's safety, so I asked Zijing to learn something."
Nu Chang glanced at the former with a strange expression and said, "You really can't imagine letting a girl with clean hands learn your murderous methods."
"..."
Ning Chen was choked and couldn't speak. After a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "Venerable Lady is just kidding, that's all I know. Venerable Lady should know that I learned all those things through killing. Apart from that, I can't teach you anything."
"You can't teach, doesn't mean I can't teach either, let True Body do it," Nu Chang said.
Ning Chen was surprised when he heard this. He came back to his senses immediately, looked at Zijing, and said softly, "Zijing, why don't you thank Venerable Lady soon?"
"Thank you Venerable Lady"
Zijing suppressed the confusion and doubts in his heart and bowed and thanked him.
"Venerable Lady is the master of Changling Ancient Land. She has been in the realm of immortals for many years. Let her teach you and you will get twice the result with half the effort," Ning Chen explained.
Zijing heard this, he was surprised at first, then a look of respect flashed on his face, and he saluted again.
"This girl's qualifications are actually quite good, but she has never been taught by a truly strong person. Marquis of Knowing Fate, I have always been curious. The martial arts qualifications of the people around you are more outstanding than the others. Why are you so ordinary?" Nu Chang said with a slight curve in the corner of his mouth.
"Venerable Lady, please don't make fun of me. It's not my decision. It's not a gentleman's behavior to always expose people's wounds." Ning Chen said with helplessness on his face.
"Talking about gentlemanly behavior with women, Marquis of Knowing Fate, are you stupid for practicing martial arts?" Nu Chang said with a smile.
"..."
Ning Chen was choked and speechless, and the eloquence he had always been so eloquent was of no use at this time.
On the side, Zijing couldn't help but smile secretly while listening to the conversation between the two. In her eyes, Marquis of Knowing Fate was always omnipotent, but she didn't expect that there would be people who could defeat him.
"Laugh if you want, be careful not to cause internal injuries," Ning Chen said in a bad mood.
Zijing covered his mouth and smiled softly, his shoulders trembling, making it even harder to endure.
"Venerable Lady, you teach her a lesson, I don't care."
Ning Chen waved his hand and walked aside, leaving space for the two of them.
When it was time to get down to business, Nu Chang and Zijing also looked serious and stopped joking.
"Zijing, don't hold back," Nu Chang said seriously.
"Yeah"
Zijing nodded, his true energy was transformed, and his figure flashed out instantly.
They were fighting each other, and Vast Essence appeared. Their feet were moving lightly, but their slender hands were extremely powerful. The moment they fought, their power shook the heavens and the earth.
Already prepared, Ning Chen turned on Yellow Springs Divine Restriction to protect the Marquis Mansion.
"Hundred Flowers Frost Burial"
Not wanting to hold back, Zijing raised his hand to perform the ultimate move. Purple ice crystals gathered around his body, drifting silently, and the void in all directions was frozen instantly.
"Extreme Cold Physique?"
Nu Chang narrowed his eyes, turned his lotus steps, turned his palms into fingers, gathered the sharp light of heaven and earth, stepped forward, and broke through thousands of crystal lights.
The moves collide, Zijing takes half a step back and turns to one side to avoid the sharp light.
He lost his momentum in one move and was restrained in all his moves. Within ten moves, a palm imprinted on his chest. The figure of Zijing flew out. After ten steps, he barely managed to stabilize his body.
Nu Chang waved his hand to disperse the breath and did not make another move.
Outside the battle, Ning Chen watched the battle between the two, and emotion flashed in his eyes. Even if the issue of cultivation was ignored, the gap between Zijing and Venerable Lady was still not small.
"Zijing, if Marquis of Knowing Fate has your level of cultivation and is within a hundred moves, even if I can seriously injure him, I will have to pay a very high price. Do you understand?" Nu Chang looked at the woman in front of him and said seriously.
Zijing nodded silently. She knew that there was a gap between her and the real strong people. Only after comparing today did she know how big the gap was.
"The gap in experience, the familiarity with the moves you have learned, and the thoroughness of the martial arts itself will all affect your strength. The level of cultivation is indeed important, but factors other than cultivation cannot be ignored either," Nu Chang guided seriously.
Zijing listened quietly and carefully wrote down everything the former said, not daring to miss a word.
Ning Chen was also listening. Everyone had their own opinions on martial arts. This kind of experience was even more precious than any technique. Unless close relatives or direct disciples, few people were willing to teach it.
"Experience aside, this requires the accumulation of a lot of battles. It cannot be improved in a short time. Marquis of Knowing Fate knows this best. However, there are not many monsters like him. If you encounter one, don't think about anything and run away immediately."
"As for the second point, the familiarity with the learned moves requires diligent practice and turning each move into instinct, so that it can exert its maximum power. When you face a life-and-death battle, the most useful moves will always be the moves you are most familiar with, not the strongest moves."
"The last point is to gain a thorough understanding of martial arts. This is the most difficult, but it is also the fastest way to improve your strength."
Having said this, Nu Chang paused for a moment, looked solemn, and said, "Words Become Law, the Heavenly Prime Minister is here, even martial arts Extreme Dao such as swords and knives belong to this. If you practice martial arts to a certain level, you will not only have true Yuan Yun" There are also laws, Extreme Dao. I don't need to say more about the laws. You must have heard a few of them. Extreme Dao is a martial arts realm that is equal to the laws, or even higher than the laws. When the martial arts is practiced to the extreme and becomes a discipline of its own, we will become the best!"
"Marquis of Knowing Fate, after listening to this for a long time, it's time to put in some effort." Nu Chang looked at the man aside and said with a smile.
"Natural"
Ning Chen Hearing the words, he nodded, waved the star soul in his hand, and slashed down with an ordinary sword. Without the blessing of true energy, Fengyun was ordered to move accordingly, and opened the sky with one sword.
When the sword light passed by, the gods felt forbidden, and complex lines appeared to resist the sword's power.
However, the divine ban that undertook the battle between the two men quickly disintegrated under the light of the sword, rumbling and shaking, resounding throughout the Hou Mansion.
Zijing was shocked, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"This is the ultimate, the ultimate on the sword."
Nu Chang looked at the former and said calmly, "Extreme Dao It's difficult to achieve. Taking this path is to embark on the never-ending path of enlightenment. This road is extremely difficult. The more powerful the path, the more difficult it is to attain it. It may even be difficult to prove one's own path in a lifetime."
"Zijing, Venerable Lady are not telling you to master all of these things. The ways to increase your strength are expensive or not. In fact, it is enough to be able to cultivate one of them to the extreme. It depends on how you choose."
After saying that, Ning Chen waved his right hand, and Star Soul Sword left his hand, flew into the study, and returned to the sheath.
Zijing fell silent, a look of hesitation flashed across his face, unable to decide for a moment.
"Go back and think about it carefully. Don't choose easily. However, once you choose, you can't regret it," Ning Chen said calmly.
"Yeah"
Zijing nodded slightly, bowed to the two of them, and left immediately.
"What, Venerable Lady thinks Zijing can enter the Supreme Realm in a short time?"
Watching the former leave, Ning Chen moved his eyes to Nu Chang and asked.
"It's difficult"
Nu Chang shook his head and said, "Although after Underworld King Barrier is broken, the laws within the realm are no longer suppressed, but Zijing's training time is still short after all. Even if his qualifications are good, they are only good. There is still a big gap between you and your monster-like friends. It is almost impossible to enter the Supreme Realm in a short time."
Ning Chen's eyes lit up and he said, "In addition to improving cultivation, the three methods mentioned by Venerable Lady are actually not easy for Zijing."
"It is not easy to improve your strength, Marquis of Knowing Fate, you should understand this best," Nu Chang said seriously.
"I just know that I don't want them to have to work so hard." Ning Chen sighed softly.
Nu Chang was silent, and after a moment, he said softly, "I'll try my best."
"Thank you Venerable Lady"
Ning Chen bowed respectfully and thanked.
"There's no need to say thank you anymore, Marquis of Knowing Fate, let's sit down and talk," Nu Chang said seriously.
"Please"
Ning Chen nodded.
In the study, the candlelight was lit again, and the two people sitting looking at each other had known each other for thirty years. When they first met thirty years ago, they were strangers with fair dealings. When they sat across from each other thirty years later, they were friends who need not say anything.
"What happened?" Nu Chang said softly.
"It's a long story," Ning Chen responded.
"Then tell me slowly," Nu Chang said calmly.
Ning Chen sighed lightly and recounted what happened over the years bit by bit.
The candlelight danced, reflecting the two people's reflections. The calm narrative slowly revealed the turmoil of life. The bright moon was like water, shining through the window paper, and a little bit of coldness fell on it.
"Time Restriction"
Nu Chang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Can you let me take a look?"
Ning Chen nodded, turned his hand, and the jade slip appeared and was handed to the woman in front of him.
Nu Chang took the Divine Forbidden City, scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and a brilliant flash of light flashed in his eyes. It was indeed one of the three great Divine Forbidden City, it was truly profound and mysterious.
"Venerable Lady If you are interested, I will give it to Venerable Lady," Ning Chen said.
"Huh?"
Venerable Lady heard this, with a strange look on his face, shook his head and said, "No, I will just study for some time. This taboo is extremely complicated and cannot be mastered in a short time. You must still need this thing."
Ning Chen smiled and said nothing.
Seeing the former's expression, Venerable Lady was startled, and then he seemed to remember something. He couldn't help but laugh at himself and said, "I forgot that the world-famous Marquis of Knowing Fate is the smartest person in the world. It's just Time Restriction, how can I mention it?"
"Venerable Lady is overly praised, and none of the three great gods have been preserved in the human world. Otherwise, I would not be able to record the changes one by one," Ning Chen said honestly.
"Excessive humility is pride."
Nu Chang responded lightly, looked at the jade slip in his hand, sighed in his heart, and said with a complex expression, "Marquis of Knowing Fate, I have reminded you more than once, don't pay attention to other things in the past hundred years, concentrate on your practice, but you just don't listen. Now that your body has dissipated, your foundation is almost destroyed, and if you want to step into the immortal world again, it will be more difficult than ascending to heaven."
"That's enough"
Ning Chen showed a smile on his face and said, "Knowing your destiny in this life, I will have no regrets. If there is an afterlife, I will be willing to be ordinary!"
