Chapter 34 Lianfengtai

Both elders felt a little unbelievable. At this moment, even the look they gave Xiao Yichen changed. How could his cultivation be so low? Could it be that Master Yaoguang did not teach him the true method?

This was not reasonable. Half a month ago, he used Master Yaoguang's "Lingxian Step" to snatch Yu Ruyi from Liu Chengfeng, which showed that Master Yaoguang taught him the skills seriously. But why is his cultivation so low now? There is only one reason. His acquired comprehension is good, but his innate aptitude is too poor.

Facing all the doubtful or mocking eyes at this moment, at this moment, Xiao Yichen seemed to have returned to the helplessness and fear when he first went to Pingyang Peak three years ago before meeting the strange senior... At this moment, he lowered his head and walked out of the crowd silently.

As the sun set, the back of such a young man looked particularly lonely. ❈

He was the only disciple of Master Yaoguang. Such a burden seemed too heavy for a young man.

At this moment, the crowd behind suddenly cried out again. This time, the cries continued for a long time, as if shaking the whole valley.

The basalt stone was shining brightly, and a beam of green light shot straight into the sky, as if reflecting the whole valley into a bright green color, and even the sunset on the horizon suddenly lost its color!

At this moment, it seemed that there was only this one bright light left between heaven and earth, and everyone held their breath. The person under the basalt stone was Qianyu Nishang, and the green light also enveloped her. She actually had a spiritual power induction with the basalt stone. She did not use her palm as hard as others, but just touched the basalt stone lightly with her fingers.

"This, this..."

The two elders were already stunned, and even the old disciples outside the valley at this moment, and some other elders, were attracted and shocked by the green light that shot straight into the sky. This... This is a supreme and pure spiritual power!

"She, she actually..."

The two elders Song and Bai were so excited that they couldn't speak. They originally thought that no matter how talented Qianyu Nishang was, she could only reach the middle stage of Qi Refining and God Transformation in three years at most. But how could they believe the scene before them now? This was the middle and late stage of Qi Refining and God Transformation, and it was the purest spiritual power, without any impurities!

"Elder Song, did you see it? Did you see it? She... the middle and late stage of Qi Refining and God Transformation, three years, three years! How long did Master Yaoguang take? Three years or one year? Or two years?"

"I... how do I know!"

The two elders were almost incoherent with excitement, and had long forgotten what happened to Xiao Yichen just now. They had been the elders who passed on the skills here for so long, and had never seen such a gifted person! This was simply beyond common sense. They were even so excited that they were wondering whether they should report this matter to the head of the sect immediately. In the past hundred years, the talents among the disciples of Xuanqing Sect had withered, and now finally a proud child of heaven appeared!

At this moment, the green light that rushed straight into the clouds made the figure of the young man even more dim. Everyone gathered around Qianyu Nishang, and no one noticed when the young man left.

After leaving the valley, Yichen looked back at Tianchi Valley and saw that many people were still talking about something around the genius girl. He laughed at himself and went far away.

The breeze was gentle all the way. He didn't know where to go next. If he went back so early, how would he answer his master's questions? For a moment, he felt that the world was so big, but there was no place to go.

I don't know how long it took, Yichen climbed up all the way, over mountains and ridges, and came to a cliff. He saw ancient pines hanging on the wall, which was very steep. This place was close to the top of Tianshu Peak. Going up further was the Tianshu Hall where the head of the sect was. He couldn't go up any further.

In the distance, under the dusk clouds, he saw a platform as big as a square. There were many pillars around the platform, which went straight into the sky and the top was invisible. In the center of the platform, there was a huge sword stuck upside down. The huge sword was wrapped with dense red iron chains. It looked extremely stern and terrifying, but the huge sword was broken from the top. The cut was neat and slanted downward, as if it was cut by a sword.

Yichen's previous feeling of loss was immediately replaced by curiosity. He wondered why there was such a place in Xuanqingmen, and why he had never heard his master mention it before? Just as he was about to fly over to take a look, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Yichen, wait."

"Ah?"

Hearing such a gentle and pleasant voice, it would definitely not be the master. Yichen was startled and turned around. He saw a red-dressed woman with a gentle smile on her face coming over and said happily, "Master Mei!"

The person who came was Ling Yin's senior sister Mei Jianyi. She was worried that Yichen would do something unreasonable after being frustrated, so she had been following silently behind him until she saw that the little guy was suddenly in a good mood. Then she showed up.

"What are you doing running to such a high place alone? How dangerous it is." Mei Jianyi walked over slowly. Just now, he was really afraid that he would suddenly jump off the cliff.

"Ah!"

Yi Chen sighed heavily, sat down with his hands on his chin, and muttered, "I'm afraid that Master will scold me if I go back so early, and I don't know where to go. Master Mei must have seen it just now. I'm really useless... I made Master laugh at them too, alas!"

"Nothing happened."

Mei Jianyi slowly sat down next to him, and said earnestly, "There is no shortcut to cultivation. Sometimes you will inevitably encounter obstacles. It's okay once you get through them. Don't be discouraged, understand?"

Seeing that he was young and should be carefree, but now he frowned like an adult, Meijianyi smiled again and continued, "Look at your uncle Jiangnan, he was dumber than you at first, but who would have thought that he is now more advanced than me..."

At this point, Meijianyi found that the boy's brows were frowning even deeper, and hurriedly shook his hand and smiled, "No, no, no, Yichen, I'm not saying you're dumb, I'm saying..."

"Alas!" Yichen sighed heavily, "Uncle is right, I don't concentrate on practicing, Master asked me to recite, but I always wanted to play, Master... must not like me."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Meijianyi's face suddenly became serious, and gradually, it seemed to be a bit inexplicably sad, saying, "Your master... likes you the most."

When she said this, she thought of the scene in the ancient village sixteen years ago, and the junior sister would rather sacrifice the immortal essence she had cultivated for hundreds of years to save this child.

"Really..." Yichen pouted, lowered his head and said silently, "But Master is always cold and indifferent. Why do I feel that she hates me..."

"You kid, you always talk nonsense."

Mei Jianyi smiled lightly and stroked his face. Yichen raised his head and grinned. In his impression, this Master Mei was the most gentle, Master Jiangnan was the most easy-going, and Master Xie always had a stern face and was the most severe. As for the Master Feng Xiaoyin, he had never seen him and didn't know how tall, short, fat or thin he was.

A cool breeze blew from the foot of the mountain, and the last ray of afterglow in the sky also disappeared into the mountains. Mei Jianyi said, "Okay, it's getting dark, you should go back, so that your master won't worry."

"Yes!"

Yi Chen stood up and looked at the giant sword platform in the distance. The night fell lightly, and it looked even more terrifying. So he asked curiously, "Uncle Mei, where is that place? Why have I never heard of it before?"

"There..."

Mei Jianyi also frowned slightly, turned around, and said, "That is Lianfengtai. Every time a disciple who has committed a serious fault will be sent there for trial, and when he goes there, it is mostly..." At this point, he smiled lightly and stopped talking.

"Oh."

Yi Chen patted the dirt on his body and grinned, "Uncle Mei, I'm going back!"

"Yes."

Mei Jianyi smiled lightly, looked at his figure flying away on the sword, and sighed softly. Not long after, he frowned again. How could this child's cultivation be so poor? It is definitely not because of aptitude. Others may not know, but as Ling Yin's senior sister, how could she not know?

Junior sister's Lingxian Step is unique in the world, and not everyone can practice it. Even Qianyu Nishang may not be able to practice it as proficiently as Yichen in three years. It can be seen that Yichen's talent should be extraordinary. So where is the problem?

Tonight, the stars and the moon are dim. Yichen returned to Zixiao Peak. He did not dare to tell his master about the test of his cultivation in the evening. However, he thought hard and could not figure out why his cultivation progress was so slow now? It was definitely not because of practicing two different profound skills at the same time. He could be very sure of this. So where is the problem?

Is it really because his aptitude is too poor?

He couldn't help but think of the time when he first went to Pingyang Peak three years ago. At that time, Yang Xiaoran refused to teach him the real cultivation method, so he fell behind others by a long way. But later, after meeting the strange senior, it only took him one month to surpass all the new disciples in cultivation...

Thinking of this, Yichen couldn't help scratching his head. It seems that his aptitude should be far better than others, right?

The night outside got a little darker.

Yichen couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He took out the black bronze mirror and shone it on himself, and continued to practice the mysterious skills. Whether it was the method taught by the master or the method taught by the strange senior, he used everything he could. Just a little sign of a breakthrough in cultivation would be enough to make him so excited that he couldn't sleep tonight.

However, after an hour, there was still no improvement. Yichen couldn't help but frown more and more, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He recited the heart method formula over and over again in his heart, guiding the true energy to flow to the hundreds of acupoints in his body.

Just like that, another stick of incense passed by, and suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head. At this moment, whether it was the Yaoguang Heart Method taught by Ling Yin or the cultivation method passed down to him by the strange senior, it seemed that all of them were disconnected from his mind.

"What's going on... My head hurts! Ah!"

Yi Chen's body tilted and he fell on the bed, covering his head with his hands, almost in agony. At this moment, countless messy words suddenly appeared in his mind, and these words formed a complete sentence one by one, and then it seemed that someone read out these words that made up the complete formula.

"What's going on, what are these things... Ah!"
