Linjiang City, Qiao Family mansion.
In a quiet study room, Qiao Zhiyao stood quietly, his eyes falling on the middle-aged man in front of the desk.
That is her father, one of the current leaders of the Qiao Family, Qiao Tongyu.
Qiao Tongyu held a piece of letter paper with a special texture in his hand, frowned slightly, and then slowly relaxed it. He raised his head, looked at his daughter with a trace of unnoticeable tension and expectation in his eyes, and handed the letter over.
"Grandmaster Yue is over there----There is an answer." Qiao Tongyu's voice was steady, without too much emotion, "You can see for yourself."
Qiao Zhiyao took a deep breath, stepped forward, and took the letter with both hands.
The moment her fingertips touched the paper, she could feel an extremely thin, but mellow and hot breath remaining on it.
That is the unique mark that belongs to the master Yue Lianshan and cannot be faked.
The constitution of Qiao Zhiyao is most suitable for practicing <Hundred Refinements Furnace>. This is the conclusion given by the elders in the family.
However, this Body Tempering Method has been improved by the master of Yue Lianshan. It has a high level of construction and has also increased the difficulty of Entry Level.
Qiao Zhiyao has been unable to Entry Level. The best way is to directly ask Yue Lianshan himself.
She quickly unfolded the letter and scanned it with her eyes, but could not see through the writing on the back of the paper.
The content of the letter was very short, going directly to the topic, and responded to her question about the bottleneck of her own cultivation, especially the inability to operate Blood and Qi in a harmonious manner.
However, when he saw the specific suggestions given by Grandmaster Yue, Qiao Zhiyao was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face.
The letter clearly stated. "Practice <Basic Body Tempering Method> two hundred times a day, concentrate and calm down, and feel the most subtle flow of Blood and Qi. Persevere, and within one to two months, the bottleneck will be solved."
<Basic Body Tempering Method>? Two hundred times?
Qiao Zhiyao almost thought he had seen it wrong.
Even the two masters in her family looked at the problems she encountered and felt that her Blood and Qi was not agile enough and needed more practice. However, she could not make any progress, so she simply asked the master Yue Lianshan, who was best at <Hundred Refinements Furnace>, for advice.
But the answer she got in the end was to let her go back to practice <Basic Body Tempering Method>?
And, two hundred times? This is just--ridiculous!
Not only is this answer ridiculous, but also because - Qiao Zhiyao actually got such an answer more than two months ago.
The senior student Xu Wuyi who was one year older than me also gave the same advice!
So he was right?!
So what have you been doing these past few months!!
"Father, this----"Qiao Zhiyao raised his head, his eyes full of confusion and grievance, "Grandmaster Yue he----is this really okay?"
Qiao Tongyu looked at his daughter's reaction and did not get angry. He just knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, "Zhiyao, pay attention to your words. What kind of person is Grandmaster Yue? Since he is willing to reply, he will never talk nonsense or be perfunctory."
He paused, and a flash of deep thought flashed in his eyes, "I, Qiao Family, paid a high price to get this opportunity to ask for advice. What Grandmaster Yue gave must be the solution he thinks is the most effective."
"Perhaps <Hundred Refinements Furnace> has its own particularity, which requires extremely high perception of Blood and Qi, and practicing <Basic Body Tempering Method>
It's the easiest way to practice."
Qiao Tongyu agreed with Grandmaster Yue's suggestion, but he actually didn't know that his daughter had received the same answer two months ago.
Qiao Zhiyao has tried many methods before, but all of them are undoubtedly ineffective. Qiao Tongyu will not check the content one by one. Naturally, Qiao Yongwen will screen the results.
"Basic Body Tempering Method----" Qiao Zhiyao muttered softly.
Could it be that her problem really stems from her lack of control over her own Blood and Qi?
The same advice, given by a student who has just become Martial Artist, has a different weight than that given by Yue Lianshan.
Qiao Zhiyao somewhat believed it. She realized that she had gone too fast in her early years and never looked back to re-examine the original starting point.
Two hundred times, it was not punishment, but an almost arrogant quantitative change, forcing her to get familiar with it again and control her own body power.
After figuring this out, the grievance on Qiao Zhiyao's face gradually faded away, replaced by a kind of understanding and determination. She carefully folded the letter and put it in her arms, as if she was holding some peerless treasure.
"Father, I understand." Qiao Zhiyao's voice returned to its usual liveliness, but his eyes were brighter than ever, "From tomorrow, no, from this afternoon, I will practice according to Grandmaster Yue's instructions."
Qiao Tongyu Seeing her daughter quickly adjusting her mentality, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes.
Being able to think things through and take action immediately is what makes her Qiao Family's daughter worthy of her.
On the other side, Xu Wuyi carried the dark red wooden box and returned to Hidden Dragon Garden Villa 7.
He went straight into the underground Cultivation Room, locked the door, and activated the sound insulation array.
The room suddenly fell into absolute silence, with only his own breathing and heartbeat clearly audible.
Sitting down cross-legged, he did not rush to open the wooden box. Instead, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing to optimize his condition.
Teacher Han Mo's instructions echoed in my mind repeatedly - "Use the power of your mind to repeatedly temper these gravels, remove impurities, and polish them into Vajra stone-like Crystal".
It wasn't until he felt full of energy and Blood and Qi peaceful that Xu Wuyi slowly opened his eyes and his eyes fell on the wooden box in front of his knees.
He took a deep breath, and with solemnity and expectation for the grandmaster's gift, he gently opened the lid of the box.
There was no brilliance as expected, there was an object lying quietly inside the box.
It was a wooden sculpture about the size of a fist.
The wood is dark red in color, has fine texture, and is warm to the touch, as if it carries the residual warmth of life.
What is carved is a mountain. The mountain is majestic. The peak is not pointed and towering, but is slightly sunken and open like the mouth of a bowl.
Inside the open mountain pass, you can vaguely see the winding lines, like lava about to flow out, and a suppressed but majestic meaning naturally emanates from it.
"Volcano?" Xu Wuyi was slightly startled, then reached out and picked up the wood carving.
The moment his fingertips came into contact with the wood carving, his whole body trembled!
Buzz!
It was not a real sound, but an invisible vibration that directly affected his spiritual consciousness.
The scene in front of him suddenly blurred, and the wooden sculpture in his hand seemed to come to life, rapidly enlarging in his "eyes".
He was no longer looking at a wooden sculpture, but seemed to be suspended in a vast void, overlooking an extremely real and huge volcano that was about to erupt!
The mountain is dark and full of jagged and strange rocks, and in the huge gap on the top of the mountain, the red lava is like the blood of a giant beast, slowly squirming, accumulating and rolling.
The hot breath rushed towards my face. It was not High-Heat Rule in the physical sense, but a kind of "potential", a majestic will that had been accumulated to the extreme and was about to explode, intertwining destruction and rebirth!
He could even "see" inside the lava, where countless tiny bubbles were forming and collapsing, and energy colliding with each other under extreme compression, waiting for the earth-shattering moment.
This perception is extremely clear and strong, and is directly imprinted in the depths of his soul.
Xu Wuyi instantly understood the essence of this wood carving - the true intention of the master!
