Chapter 175 Departure
Chapter 175 Departure
Among the three demon servants.
Daqing is a man who kills and bleeds on the battlefield, but his hobby is to hold hands with mares and donkeys. In this respect, he cannot be judged by the moral standards of a gentleman.
However, apart from the battlefield, it is not bloodthirsty and does not commit murder; it does not take many lives.
But She Nu and Shu Miaosheng are different.
Both of these demons are evil; one eats people and sleeps with servants, while the other is a rogue cultivator who regards human life as worthless.
He was simply subdued by the system and became Yang Silang's demon servant, using his great power to summon back the soul that should have disappeared.
Although life and death are in his hands, and the two demons may seem humble in his presence, it doesn't mean they have reformed.
Therefore, he incorporated the two demons into the halo of the Ruyi Tianzun's head, subtly dissolving their hostility. In their daily interactions, he rarely gave the two demons a friendly look, and his approach was purely one of suppression.
On the contrary, he was not very strict with Daqing, mostly just teasing him.
After reprimanding all three men equally, Yang Silang felt better.
If it weren't for the need to learn the Great Five Elements Technique at the Martial Arts Tower, this martial arts examination would be incredibly stressful.
The top three scholars are not good enough, nor is the second-class Jinshi degree. Only the third-class Jinshi degree is where a poor scholar like myself should stay. I also need to prevent those aristocratic families from taking me in as a son-in-law.
That's really exhausting.
We've had a meal.
After resting for a while, Yang Silang got up and began practicing the Turtle Breathing Technique.
Fu Liunian said that the Turtle Breathing Technique is difficult to practice, especially the final step of Turtle Form Longevity. It seems there is a chance to convert a turtle demon and test the effect.
He cleared his mind of all distractions and quickly entered a meditative state.
Visualize a large tortoise hiding underground, blending into its surroundings. Then take a deep breath, allowing the true qi to flow out from your dantian, circulating through the body, passing through the Baihui acupoint, reaching the Zusanli acupoint, then the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of your foot, and finally returning to the Shenque acupoint and back into your dantian.
Inner vision guided by spiritual awareness.
In the pool of true qi in the dantian and dantian, there was indeed a trace of true qi that was darker in color, seemingly different.
At the same time, Yang Silang keenly sensed that his body was brimming with vital energy and blood, and a trace of vital energy and blood disappeared and was stored in his body for nourishment.
This exercise is effective.
Yang Silang looked at the system notification again.
The display shows that the Turtle Breathing Exercise has been included.
[Skill: Turtle Breathing Technique (Incomplete Version), practice three times a day, can be mastered in 2000 days, progress: 1/2000]
As expected of a Grandmaster's ultimate technique, the Golden Marrow requires two thousand days to cultivate, demonstrating its profound potential. Moreover, the hint indicates that it is an incomplete version.
This is the most time-consuming martial art Yang Silang has ever seen.
He somewhat missed the Dragon Soaring Wind Technique, which was a quick and unorthodox method. He would definitely try it sometime in the future, and catch a turtle demon to see if the turtle breathing ability could be learned quickly.
-
half a month later.
At the north gate.
The river flows swiftly, and this is a large dock where many boats are waiting to set sail.
On the dock, there were mostly young men and women dressed in fine clothes and riding horses, who gathered in groups to say goodbye.
Yang Silang stood in a secluded spot, while Wang Daniu led Daqing with one hand and pulled a fine horse with the other. This horse was much better looking than Daqing; it was entirely chestnut red and had a tall and broad body.
Daqing eagerly ran over to sniff the other's buttocks, then ran away in disgust, his two donkey-like eyes glaring fiercely at Wang Daniu.
You wicked coachman, it must have been you who did it.
Why is this a stallion?
Wang Daniu pursed his lips and could tell from Daqing's expression that this stinky donkey was making fun of him again.
"Don't look at me..." he whispered, spreading his hands, "This horse was a free gift by weight..."
"If you want to blame someone, blame him."
Yang Silang was surrounded by a large group of people.
He counted the weight and said with a flourish.
"Brother Yang, I know you're going to take the military examination. You specially chose this horse because it's bright red and looks auspicious."
"The seller said this horse has desert blood and is best suited for riding in the North."
"This trip to Beijing will surely be a resounding success, and you will achieve top honors in the imperial examinations."
Yang Silang smiled and nodded. He had originally planned to buy a male donkey for Wang Daniu as well, so that the two donkeys would look more like a good match on the road. But when Ji Jinliang heard that he was going to the capital to take the imperial examination, he solved half of the problem of the mount without saying a word.
Daqing is a demon donkey; it's untouchable, its position is very secure.
He knew how to make his fortune, and although he was usually very stingy, he was very generous in this matter, paying for it entirely out of his own pocket.
Su Zhixiu also came closer, her face flushed, and handed him a brocade envelope with both hands. She didn't know what was inside, but told him to open it on the way.
At this moment, Yan Nanxing, Jin Xiangyu, Sun Shiwei, Ye Liuyun and others approached again.
Su Zhixiu and Jin Xiangyu had always been at odds, and she only offered her blessings to Yang Silang in a low voice.
"Fourth Brother, your martial arts skills are more than enough to pass the imperial examination for military officers."
"I'll just give you a heads-up: be careful of those powerful families who try to find a son-in-law by posting their names on the imperial examination list."
After she finished speaking, she stood shyly to the side.
Yang Silang sighed inwardly; he understood what the girl was thinking.
Even after leaving the provincial capital for several months and returning to his hometown, he still received several letters from the girl.
It's a pity. If they hadn't been captured together and taken to the snake pit, where that happened, perhaps he would have been tempted.
Yan Nanxing came over and patted him on the shoulder.
"It's a pity that if I didn't have a job, I would really like to take the military examination and come back as a military officer."
'
Jin Xiangyu stayed close to him, smiling sweetly. It seemed that in the past six months, their relationship had progressed rapidly, and good news was on the horizon.
Jin Xiangyu was skilled at controlling distance and had always maintained a close yet distant relationship with Yan Nanxing.
However, during the last time in the secret realm, when they faced a life-or-death crisis, Yan Nanxing covered Jin Xiangyu's retreat so she could escape first. The young master from the same noble family in the team ran faster than Jin Xiangyu and disappeared long ago. After the two of them survived by chance, Jin Xiangyu became completely certain of their relationship.
However, Jin Xiangyu's gaze towards Yang Silang seemed to hold a hint of surprise, and her smile appeared somewhat unnatural.
Yang Silang responded to Yan Nanxing with a smile.
"Brother Yan, your achievements on the battlefield far surpass those of us scholars who merely wield swords and lift stones!"
Yan Nanxing was very pleased with what he heard and laughed heartily.
He said confidently.
"If I can't pass the military examination, then I'll strive to become the number one master in our sect!"
"I have a feeling that I might be about to break through soon."
Yan Nanxing was naturally talented, and with the backing of his adoptive father, General Hei, he had no shortage of resources or cultivation techniques, and everything went smoothly for him.
Wang Daniu chuckled to himself as he listened from the side.
Yan Nanxing, your hopes are dashed. Among your group, the number one Grandmaster has already been taken down by my brother.
Yang Silang blinked, showing no change in emotion, and simply said that Brother Yan would definitely succeed in breaking through to the next realm.
Fortunately, he had mastered the basics of the Turtle Breathing Technique and was able to control the surge of qi and blood in his body. They couldn't sense any obvious changes in his qi and blood, so they naturally didn't realize that he had already taken that crucial step.
Otherwise, the scene would be incredibly awkward.
Sun Shiwei and Ye Liuyun also came over and presented a thick envelope as a parting gift—taking the imperial examination was a very expensive thing, so everyone liked to give some money when seeing someone off, as the gift was not only important but also showed great sentiment and was very appropriate.
When Yang Silang sought help from Sun Shiwei to obtain the Golden Spear Trout Demon, Sun Shiwei was very polite and helpful, readily agreeing to the request. His handling of the matter was impeccable.
It was too perfect. Yang Silang never bothered the two of them again. They came today, so it seems they had prepared a lot of money.
Then came Pei Buqi, Zhuang Sheng, and Bai Lang. The envelopes they sent were very thin, indicating that the three of them were in dire need of money and were riding inferior horses.
The six-person team entered the secret realm, but only three of them suffered a loss, which was quite embarrassing.
Yang Silang sincerely thanked him, and then it was Tong Renyuan and his son Tong Baisui who came next.
Tong Baisui stood straight, his face rosy and his muscles bulging. Who would have thought that this was a person who had been brutally drained of his vital energy by evil magic?
He has recovered his true qi, and perhaps because the pills from the aristocratic family are so effective, the quality of his true qi is even better after the destruction and reconstruction. He is confident that he will become a steel-dirty grand martial arts master within two years.
"Come back with a military degree..." Old Master Tong Renyuan said loudly, "to see the young talents of the world and come back to tell us about the style of the masters of our time."
"I wrote to my junior brother and asked him to look after you two sisters."
"Also, I've had my disciples clean your courtyard regularly, so you can move back in as soon as you return. You can focus on your exams."
Yang Silang expressed his deepest gratitude.
at this time.
At the dock, a large ship struck a gong, signaling its imminent departure.
Yang Silang bowed to everyone in a circle, then, along with Da Niu, led their mounts onto the boat via the footboard.
He looked at the crystal ball in his hand and felt regretful. He went to the Martial Arts Tower before leaving but didn't see Fu Liunian. His brother was a cultivation fanatic. He said he would never see him again, and he really never did.
I also didn't see Grandma Tianjing.
Grandma may be entering a critical period of transformation recently. She is completely unresponsive to the outside world and has even stopped eating the five-colored stones.
Fortunately, Yang Silang confirmed that the strength of his soul and demonic energy was gradually increasing, so there should be no major problems.
soon.
The oars propelled the boat forward slowly.
Yang Silang stood at the ship's railing and waved until everyone became a blurry bunch of tiny dots that could no longer be seen, before he turned and left.
-
half a month later.
On the big ship.
Yang Silang lay lazily on the bunk bed in the cabin, his eyes closed as if he were half asleep, with his legs crossed, playing with a walnut-sized amber crystal ball in his palm.
The boat was rocking gently and rhythmically, and there was a lot of noise talking outside; it wasn't quiet at all.
In this environment, Yang Silang was able to practice the Turtle Breathing Technique. This technique requires integrating the rhythm of breathing into sitting, lying down, and walking, cultivating true internal strength, and drawing qi and blood inward. He may appear lazy and listless on the outside, but he is actually conserving all his excess energy and spirit, not wanting to waste a single bit.
That's how one can seek within and conceal without, transforming in a single day and becoming a dragon riding the wind.
On the day he was seen off by his friends at the dock, he concealed his vital energy, and almost no one could see through it, but if someone cultivated spiritual awareness, they probably wouldn't be able to hide it.
Because he had only been practicing the tortoise breathing technique for a short time.
Once you reach the minor completion stage, even a Daoist cultivator at the same level in the Transcendent Realm would not be able to see through the hidden mysteries of your blood and qi.
boom……
Wang Daniu pushed open the door and complained.
"Fourth Brother, I just went to see Daqing, and that fellow was complaining again."
He said the stallion next to him was seasick and vomiting terribly, and the smell was unbearable for him.
"They're clamoring to change cabins."
"The livestock are all below deck; where am I supposed to find cabins for them?"
"Do you know what he said? It actually wanted to switch places with me to sleep, that's really going against the grain."
"What a piece of junk I bought by weight!"
Let reading always be a chapter faster than others.
