Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 44 Story
The Thirteen Horizontal Refining has five external levels, namely, skin and flesh, tendons and bones, internal organs, blood and marrow, and Tong Yuan. To date, Zhu Juye has already completed the first four levels.

And Tong Yuan...

This state does not require tempering of the body, but refers to the whole body's internal and external strength being integrated and fully connected.

As long as the first four levels are perfected and the strength can change as you wish, you will naturally be able to step into Tongyuan.

There is almost no need for practice during this period.

Maybe you just want to relax, enjoy the scenery, drink tea, read calligraphy and paint, and at some moment you will suddenly have an epiphany, and you may take that step and integrate all the strength in your body.

Moreover, once advanced to Tongyuan, depending on the depth of one's physical foundation, one can cultivate internal Qi at an extremely fast speed and enter the internal Qi realm.

That is to say, the thirteen horizontal refinements lead to the third level of internal refinement.

on the contrary,

If you practice blindly and arduously, it is likely to backfire, and your strength will not only fail to be harmonious but will also cause obstruction.

Sometimes, slow is fast and fast is slow.

…………

It was the day for the younger generation of Leping County to gather together again. This time, unlike usual, the venue was chosen in the back garden of Zhu's house. This was also the first time that Zhu Ju invited other people to his house.

There was one more person participating.

"Yuan Tong." Sun Youshan held the hand of a young girl and searched for butterflies among the flowers.
"I can't believe your family is willing to let you out?"

"Originally, you were not allowed to come." Zhou Yuantong lowered his eyes:

"But since I heard it was in Zhu's house, I let him come."

Although there are some unpleasantness between the Zhou and Sun families nowadays, they have not torn their faces apart after all, and the younger generations still have contacts with each other.

This is especially true for playmates who have been playing with you since childhood.

Sun Youshan chuckled softly:
"It seems that Uncle Zhou wants to find you a perfect husband. How is it? Do you like him?"

Zhou Yuantong raised his head and looked at the figure standing with his hands behind his back in the stone pavilion not far away, and sighed helplessly.

"I don't want to get married so early."

"That's not up to you, and you're not a kid anymore." Sun Youshan smiled, her beautiful eyes flashing.

"You're not still thinking about going out and making a living, are you? You're a girl, and Uncle Six and Aunt Six won't agree to that."

"Why can't women do that?" Zhou Yuantong frowned.

"I'm no worse than a man!"

"Yes, yes, I know." Sun Youshan nodded. She knew the character of her childhood playmate very well and said:

"Sixth Uncle and Sixth Aunt are worried about you and doing this for your own good. Besides, what's wrong with staying at home to take care of your husband and children?"

"You played around a lot when you were little, and you read too many useless books. It's time to calm down."

Zhou Yuantong shook his head slightly without saying anything more.

"Come!"

Sun Youshan pulled her forward:
"You look down on the men in the county, but you can always catch my eye with the young men in the prefecture. Brother Zhu is a handsome man."

It is undeniable that Zhu Ju has an outstanding appearance and a unique aura of nobility, but...

Zhou Yuantong pursed her lips:
"He's too weak!"

"That's called being refined and elegant." Sun Youshan rolled her eyes.
"You have a strong personality. If you find an equally strong man, will your family still have peace?"

"But if I marry a man like you who has a good temper and money, life will definitely be different."

Ok?
It seems to make some sense.

Zhou Yuantong seemed to be lost in thought.

"Brother Zhu."

Arriving at the stone pavilion, Sun Youshan said with a smile:

"Aren't you going down?"

In the martial arts training ground not far away, Leng Xing and others were practicing martial arts. The ones fighting on the field were He Leshan and Wan Jing.

Both of them are now very successful, and because they have experienced the battle of suppressing bandits, they are quite powerful when they fight, and they are not just fancy clothes that look good but are not practical.

"I?"

Zhu Ju retracted his gaze:

"never mind."

With his current cultivation and strength, ordinary internal energy is no match for him, and the end result is nothing but bullying.

However, in the eyes of others, it confirmed the rumors that he was not good at martial arts.

Zhu Ju's gaze paused slightly on the two women, then retracted. Sun Youshan was still dressed up today, but Zhou Yuantong, whom he met for the first time, was wearing men's clothes, with her long hair casually tied behind her with a wooden hairpin. Her facial features were like sculptures, slightly neutral, and her bright eyes had a sense of boldness in them, which was very impressive.

"Brother Zhu." Zhou Yuantong took the initiative to speak:
"In your opinion, who will win between He Leshan and Wan Jing?"

"Wan Jing." Zhu Ju did not hesitate:
"He has a slightly better chance of winning."

"Why?" Zhou Yuantong raised his eyebrows:

"He Leshan's swordsmanship is sharp and fierce. Wan Jing is already feeling intimidated. In my opinion, He Leshan should win." "Miss Zhou has good eyesight." Zhu Ju looked at her in surprise, nodded, and said:

"If it's a life-and-death fight, Brother He would be the better choice. However, now it's a competition, so many of his moves can't be used."

"Zheng..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the situation on the field changed. Wan Jing drew his sword and performed an exquisite sword move. The sword blade took the opportunity to lightly scratch He Leshan's clothes on his abdomen.

"Concession!"

Taking a step back, Wan Jing laughed:

"Brother He, admit it."

"Humph!" He Leshan rolled his eyes.
"Shit luck, do you have the guts to come again?"

"No, no." Wan Jing waved his hands repeatedly:
"It's time for Brother Hua to take the stage."

"Wan Jing really won. I admire you!" Under the stone pavilion, Zhou Yuantong looked at Zhu Ju in surprise:
"How did you tell?"

"Nothing else." Zhu Ju shook his head.
"I've seen it so many times, and I've gained some experience. This is nothing."

"As expected of you from the capital, Brother Zhu has a good eye." Sun Youshan clapped her hands lightly and praised:
"Brother Zhu, you are very knowledgeable. In your opinion, how do He Leshan and the others compare to the young talents of the prefectural city?"

"Heh..." Zhu Ju chuckled.
"Miss Sun, are you asking me to offend someone?"

"No." Sun Youshan shook her head repeatedly:

"I really want to know."

Zhou Yuantong also looked at it with curiosity.

"There's a huge gap between the two sides." Zhu Ju thought about it and didn't hide anything, but told the truth:
"Most of the outstanding young people in the prefectural city are from elders who are masters of releasing internal energy and even circling it through the whole body. They practice extraordinary methods, take daily medicinal baths to strengthen themselves, and have masters help them temper their bodies with internal energy. They can cultivate internal energy around the age of twenty..."

Sun Youshan and Zhou Yuantong's expressions changed slightly.

Internal energy!

This is considered a master among the older generation in the county, and the younger generation in the provincial capital is just beginning to come into its own.

Not only do the young generation in the capital city have good skills, they also have practical experience. After all, prominent families have many experts to practice with.

The knowledge is incomparable.

"Ugh!"

Sun Youshan sighed:
"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world."

"I really want to go to the provincial capital to take a look." Zhou Yuantong said with a longing look:

"The world is so vast, from the capital to the states. If you're trapped in a corner, living a mediocre life, wouldn't that be a waste of a hundred years?"

Hearing this, Sun Youshan couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"correct!"

Zhou Yuantong's eyes lit up and he asked:

"Brother Zhu, have you ever seen the Hibiscus Sword Lady Lan Qianran? I heard that she's less than 30 years old and is already on track to achieve Xiantian status?"

"Never."

"What about the Yin-Yang Blade Di Huan?"

"No."

"Wind and Cloud Hand Situ Qiuyun?"

"..."

"Miss Zhou." Zhu Ju shook his head speechlessly:
"Although I am in the capital, I have made no achievements. The people you mentioned are all influential figures in the martial arts world. I have only heard of them and have never had the opportunity to meet them."

"Then..." Zhou Yuantong still didn't give up:
"Brother Zhu, since you're from Sanfentang, you should be very familiar with the masters of Sanfentang. Can you tell me some of their stories? For example, Deputy Hall Master Wan?"

"I know very little about Deputy Hall Master Wan."

"So..." Zhou Yuantong looked disappointed:
"Brother Zhu, don't you have any Jianghu figures you know? Leping County is full of strange people and stories. The capital city is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Isn't there anything interesting?"

"for example?"

"For example, Mr. Zhu and Uncle Sun."

Zhou Yuantong looked at the figure on the field and said:
"Second Uncle Leng Xing is also one of them. When he was young, he had no outstanding qualities and was often bullied. Later, in just a few years, he achieved great success in learning and even developed internal energy. He is truly a gifted person."

"But because of his childhood experiences, his personality is rather eccentric."

Having said this, she hesitated to speak, obviously not wanting to say bad things about others.

"Master Leng?" Zhu Ju nodded, and cast his gaze towards the martial arts arena. Seeing that Leng Xing and the others would not finish their training in a short time, he thought for a moment and said slowly:

"I don't know much about the famous figures in the city, but I have heard people mention the story of the Condor Hero Yang Guo."

"If Miss Zhou likes to listen, I can tell you."

"Okay, okay!" Zhou Yuantong's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

"This is a story that happened in Jiaxing. I don't know where Jiaxing is. Maybe it's just a place name made up by others." Zhu Ju said slowly:
"That day, a burst of singing floated across the misty lake..."
