Chapter 020

Ling Xiao returned to the inner courtyard, after a few days of residual heat, it returned to calm.

Ling Xiao didn't care about this, he still practiced tirelessly every day. In addition to using the three-point return of vitality to gather profound strength every night, most of the time during the day is to practice the "Five Changes of Vajra", and the rest of the time is spent in the inner court bookstore to find some knowledge about the history and related knowledge of this continent. , to increase their knowledge of the world.

Currently, Ling Xiao only knows the first two changes of the "Five Changes of Vajra", which are the first change "skin refining" and the second change "strengthening tendons".

The first change, "Skin Refining", firstly needs to strengthen all parts of the body to make the body's external resistance to the extreme. This point is similar to the iron cloth shirt and golden bell jar that Ling Xiao knew in his previous life.

In his previous life, Ling Xiao practiced a lot of powerful martial arts, but he didn't have any defensive external skills. Now he wants to practice the "Vajra Five Changes Art" to rely on himself before he can protect himself, at least in the future. In the face of a master who is stronger than him, he can have a little life-saving means, so that he will not be slaughtered by others.

For five consecutive days, Ling Xiao did a lot of physical exercise in the morning, such as long-distance running with weights, leapfrog, push-ups...

When the sun was shining brightly at noon, I took off my shirt and stood in the sun for two hours. Then I jumped into the cold water to cool down. After cooling down, I was attacked by foreign objects.

These are the basic steps of "skin refining". It can be said that this is simply a perverted self-torture training method.

Today's Ling Xiao has become a low-level profound practitioner after more than a month of cultivation, his body has become more and more erect, and after a few days of "skin refining", the whole person looks much stronger, and his shiny black skin gives A person full of healthy and vigorous vitality.

At noon on the sixth day, Ling Xiao was still the same as before, with his horse striding, his upper body bare, his arms spread out, and two buckets full of water on his left and right sides, accepting the hottest and hottest barbecue under the bright sun. show.

On his resolute and handsome face, streams of sweat flowed untiringly like streams, and the dark muscles of his upper body turned red, as if being grilled on a grill, and the meat on his body seemed ready to be eaten at any time. There were two buckets full of water in his hands, without any shaking, and he stayed in the bucket so calmly.

Not long after, trembling ripples appeared on the two buckets of water, as if they were about to rippling out. I saw Ling Xiao still gritted his teeth and persisted. He looked at his reflection in front of him and screamed in his heart, "Persevere... persist...it will be almost two hours".

Finally, when his own reflection reached the position he had drawn, Ling Xiao relaxed, and the bucket in his hands finally showed some water spots. Ling Xiao turned around, took two steps forward, and took the bucket in his hand. The water is poured into the big wooden barrel, and then the whole person jumps into the wooden barrel again.

"Here..." Ling Xiao had just entered the barrel, and there seemed to be a faint sound, and then Ling Xiao's expression changed, and he couldn't help but let out a "hiss...".

At this moment, it was the cooling sound made by his hot body suddenly being cold, which was like throwing a piece of red-hot iron into the water.

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, and his body began to practice the Five Transformations of Vajra.

Gradually, Ling Xiao's nerves finally relaxed, and the painful expression no longer appeared on his face.

After a while, Ling Xiao jumped out of the bucket, drinking lightly, "I really hurt me to death, I really have nothing to do to abuse! Why did you choose this practice method? If people see me like this, why don't you Think I'm a masochist."

Complaints are nothing but complaints, Ling Xiao is still a very stubborn person, as long as he chooses the path, he will stick to it.

...

As the days passed, the Ling family would usher in a major event for the family. The annual family test would be held in the inner courtyard training ground in three days.

The younger generations of the Ling family are stepping up their cultivation, whether they are martial apprentices or profound practitioners, they are striving to improve their strength. If they still stay at the strength of last year, they will become the laughing stock of everyone. In the Ling family, everyone regards strength and Tianbin as more important than life.

If there is no improvement in strength within two consecutive years, they will be expelled from the inner courtyard and arranged to manage businesses outside the Ling family's properties, or serve as military guards protecting the Ling family's properties, and their status in the Ling family will plummet.

Or those who have not broken through to the profound practitioner before the age of twenty will also be sent abroad. It can be seen that the Ling family attaches great importance to Wu Feng, which is also a major reason why the Ling family has always been above the Li and Luo families.

Ling Xiao didn't care about this, as if it had nothing to do with him, he kept practicing, and taught Bai Yuxi how to practice when he had time.

Although Bai Yuxi has always regarded Ling Xiao as a young master, Ling Xiao has never regarded her as a maidservant. Apart from letting her serve her in simple daily life, she will not let her do other heavy work. Now that he has returned to the inner courtyard, The family also arranged four servants for his family, two male servants and two maidservants. Ling Xiao asked her mother Meng Xiyun's family to arrange their own jobs for these four, so now Bai Yuxi spends her free time more.

Ling Xiao had already planned in his heart that Bai Yuxi would be by his side as a maid for the rest of his life. He didn't want his beautiful god-sister to become another man's crotch pet. He is a normal man who likes women, especially beautiful women who want to keep them for himself, so he chooses to be selfish, unless Bai Yuxi falls in love with another man one day, he may let him go, but he will never allow such a thing When things happen, which man would think that he has too many women?

In fact, Ling Xiao still underestimated Bai Yuxi's insistence on him. She had already chosen Ling Xiao as her young master, and she would never betray him in this lifetime, unless she died.

Ling Xiao wanted to pass on to Bai Yuxi the internal energy method of returning three points of vitality to Bai Yuxi, but this is a very domineering method that is not suitable for women to practice. After thinking about it, he chose a set of exercises for Bai Yuxi that women practiced in her previous life. Let Bai Yuxi practice the inner strength method "Shuiyue Divine Art", and then teach her a set of matching sword skills "Shuiyue Sword Art".

This set of exercises and sword skills were created by Master Shuiyue in Ling Xiao's previous life. Master Shuiyue is second only to his old ghost master. Disciple, unfortunately, was killed by the Ghost Sect. Uncle Shuiyue, in a rage, used the "Shuiyue Sword Art" to kill twelve innate masters of the Ghost Sect until the master of the Ghost Sect came. Uncle Yue stopped, and after that, Uncle Shuiyue confiscated another apprentice, so he passed on the exercises and sword skills to Ling Xiao, saying that it was a meeting gift for Ling Xiao's future wife.

Whenever Ling Xiao thinks of the charming face of Uncle Shuiyue, there will always be a satisfied smile in his heart, but it is a pity that time will not turn back.

"Ouch..." A soft cry came out.

When Ling Xiao came back to her senses, she saw Bai Yuxi sitting on the ground, frowning tightly, looking uncomfortable, Ling Xiao hurried over, "What's wrong with Yuxi?".

Bai Yuxi turned her pretty face back, with a forced smile on her face and said, "Master, I... I'm fine." After replying, she was about to stand up, but unexpectedly, another pain in her feet made her stagger, I'm going to fall down again.

"Be careful..." Ling Xiao flashed his body, and quickly came to Bai Yuxi's side, supporting her.

"Is your foot sprained? You can't let it go too far in martial arts training," Ling Xiao asked with concern.

However, Bai Yuxi lowered her head and did not answer his words.

Ling Xiao was about to ask again, when suddenly, he felt two lumps of softness pressing on his arms, and a wonderful feeling came over him.

Ling Xiao took a closer look, only to find that her hands were actually hugging Bai Yuxi's chest, hugging her soft flesh tightly, no wonder it was so comfortable.

Ling Xiao smiled awkwardly, and with a little reluctance, he took his salty pig's hand away and said, "Yes... I'm sorry...".

"It's...it's nothing." Bai Yuxi replied softly with her face red and her face lowered.

"Come on, sit down and let me see if it's sprained." Ling Xiao quickly changed the topic and said in his heart, "The elasticity is so good!".

Ling Xiao helped Bai Yuxi to the side of the stone bench, and then took off her cloth shoes, revealing her white and delicate feet, round and smooth, making one want to caress them.

Ling Xiao caressed the red and swollen eyes of the feet, and said distressedly, "It's all swollen, it's okay, I'll take some cold water and apply it to you, then rub it and you'll be fine."

After Ling Xiao said something, he got up to fetch water.

Bai Yuxi raised her delicate red face, looked at Ling Xiao's back affectionately with her eyes, and her face turned into a deep smile, as if the pain she felt just now had completely disappeared.

"Master...that's great!" Bai Yuxi whispered in her heart.

After Ling Xiao filled the water, he soaked Bai Yuxi's slender and beautiful feet in the water, and then transferred some dark energy to her feet to help reduce swelling.

After a while, the lump in Bai Yuxi's foot disappeared.

Ling Xiao carefully helped Bai Yuxi put on her shoes, and said, "Okay, take a day off today, you should meditate well, and you should be fine tomorrow."

Bai Yuxi nodded, blushing and said "Thank you young master" softly.

"Silly girl, why are you being polite, you are my young master's daughter...godsister! It's only natural for a brother to take care of a younger sister." Ling Xiao smiled and almost revealed his heart.

Bai Yuxi glanced at Ling and smiled, "Master, am I stupid?".

"Why do you ask that?" Ling Xiao asked in surprise.

"I can't even learn the sword moves you taught me," Bai Yuxi said shyly.

Ling Xiao comforted, "Silly girl, you have only learned for a few days, Kung Fu can't be practiced in a day, you have to have confidence in yourself, maybe you can surpass me, Master, in the near future."

"I don't want to surpass the young master, as long as I don't drag the young master down," Bai Yuxi waved her hands repeatedly.

Ling Xiao smiled, and wanted to say something, but there was a loud exclamation from inside the room.

"Haha, broke through again." The voice came from the direction of the study, needless to say it must be Ling Zhan's cry.

Since Ling Xiao gave the half-thousand-year-old black ginseng king to Ling Zhan, Ling Zhan has absorbed the medicinal properties of the thousand-year-old black ginseng king while cultivating three-point return to vitality in the past few days. This is the fifth time he has broken through the meridians recently. up.

Ling Zhan came out from the study room full of energy, his whole face looked radiant, and he was completely different from his previous slovenly and carefree appearance.

Meng Xiyun also came to her husband from the house with a face full of joy, and asked excitedly, "Brother Zhan, have you become a fifth-level martial artist?".

Ling Zhan looked at his wife who was still charming, nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I have already broken through the sixth meridian, and I believe I can become a profound practitioner again in a month at most."

"This is great!" Meng Xiyun exclaimed. She never dreamed that her son and husband would be able to practice profound strength again, and they could finally get rid of the title of "useless father and son". It's all gone.

"Xi Yun, I have wronged you all these years, and I swear I will never let you be wronged again." Ling Zhan solemnly declared while holding his wife's hand.
