Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 56: Green mountains are hidden and waters are far away, autumn ends and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River remains unwithered (asking for monthly tickets)

Sadly asking for monthly votes. I had planned to update at midnight yesterday to grab a spot on Monday's list, but I was so tired from rushing to finish the manuscript that I actually fell asleep in the afternoon.

Please support me with monthly tickets. This book has not been ranked well on the new book list. I really need your support.

That night, the two brothers Zhang Qingxi and Sun Yanwan did not return to Lingjian Peak. Anyone who has climbed a mountain knows that although the mountain does not look high, it often takes a whole day to climb it. Although they have light skills, it is still too troublesome and very tiring to go back and forth.

There is a Spirit Sword Building where one can rest in the arena, which is really a great advantage.

Of course, Sun Lingdie and Namco Gong could not stay in Lingjian Tower. They each had their own place to stay. In the afternoon, the two girls left reluctantly. Sun Lingdie was angry and did not go to find Nan Mengjiu. She found her grandfather and went to the farm outside to find another place to live.

The eighth daughter of the Nan Meng family went back to Madam Wei's Lingtan Temple and was questioned by her seven elder sisters and one younger sister. She bit her lips, was about to cry, said nothing, and just tried to get away with it.

After getting up in the morning, Sun Yanwan practiced the Golden Tendon and Jade Bone Fist more than ten times. Every time he practiced this external martial art, he could feel the twenty-four meridians in his body vibrating and trembling like dragons and floodwaters, and his strength increased slightly.

As soon as he mastered the twenty-four moves of the Golden Tendon and Jade Bone Fist and practiced the twenty-four meridian muscles, his strength increased to two or three hundred pounds, which made him stronger than an ordinary strong man. Recently, he has been practicing hard and his strength has increased to more than three hundred pounds.

After putting away his fists, Sun Yanwan thought to himself, "Why do I feel like this external martial arts is progressing faster than Qi training? I just don't know what level of external martial arts I'm currently at. I should definitely get a copy of the Nine Ranks of Martial Arts later. I can read it in my spare time and learn more about martial arts."

Sun Yanwan didn't know that his situation was extremely special and he could no longer be included in the ninth rank of the outer family.

According to the Nine Ranks of Martial Arts, those who can open up three meridians in the internal martial arts and those who can cultivate three tendons in the external martial arts are considered ninth-rank. Those who can open up five meridians in the internal martial arts and those who can cultivate strength, going a step further than breaking bricks and being able to shatter bluestone with their palms, are considered eighth-rank.

In short, whether it is internal or external martial arts, it is extremely difficult to open up the meridians and develop meridian tendons.

External martial arts masters train one meridian muscle at a time. An ordinary sixth-rank external martial arts master can only train eight or nine meridian muscles. How can he train twenty-four meridian muscles in one go?

Even a genius like Zhang Qingxi had only cultivated seventeen meridians. If there had been no fortuitous encounter, the eldest brother's progress in external martial arts might have stopped there.

Zhang Qingxi said thoughtfully: "Second Junior Brother, when you choose to study weapons in the future, you can choose an additional hammer technique!"

Sun Yanwan was deeply opposed to this and said, "How can a martial artist practice with a hammer? Besides, the hammer is heavy and inconvenient to carry around."

Zhang Qingxi laughed out loud and said, "Then let's choose a stick technique!"

"Find a skilled craftsman to forge the iron rod into several sections, which will be very convenient to carry and can be connected when needed."

"In our teacher's generation, only Sixth Uncle has the external martial arts skills. You can learn more from him."

Sun Yanwan suddenly understood the implication of his senior brother's words and asked, "Senior brother, after the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition, you will be leaving, right?"

Zhang Qingxi suddenly mentioned that he should choose another hammer technique or stick technique. He must have been thinking of something and was inspired by it. Moreover, the eldest brother had a deep understanding of the Golden Muscle and Jade Bone Fist, but he did not say that he would teach him. It must be that he would go to do his own big thing soon.

Zhang Qingxi knew that this junior fellow was clever. He had actually seen through his ordinary words and figured out that he was about to leave. He sighed and said, "It may not be until after the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition."

Sun Yanwan fell silent. Since crossing over, apart from the time he spent with Miao Youxiu, he had spent most of his time training at Taiyi Temple with his senior brother. He'd always had his senior brother's help with any daily issues, and whenever he encountered any difficulties, he'd always stepped up. Whenever he encountered a problem in his training that his master couldn't explain, it was always his senior brother who patiently guided him. Suddenly, his senior brother was leaving, and he felt a little overwhelmed. He was a mature man, after all, and he knew that all good things must come to an end. He sighed and said, "The green mountains are hidden, the waters are far away, autumn ends, but the grass in the south of the Yangtze River remains unwithered. Take care, senior brother."

Well, he could only say half of the sentence, because the second half was "On a moonlit night under the Twenty-Four Bridges, where does the beautiful girl teach to play the flute?" What kind of flute did the eldest brother play?

The atmosphere was just beginning to feel slightly sad when two voices rang out from outside the Spirit Sword Tower: "Brother Sun/Senior Brother Sun, I've prepared some tea and food, especially for you."

Sun Yanwan glanced down and saw that Sun Lingdie and Namco each brought a few maids, each carrying a food box, and were exchanging glances downstairs.

Sun Yanwan greeted them with a smile and asked the two women to come up.

To him, Sun Lingdie is really good, a very nice person.

Namco is also good, the people there are pretty good looking.

Anyway, it’s not a good one!
The two girls each brought a maid to the Lingjian Tower, and Sun Yanwan noticed a slight difference.

The Tianji Sun family is not as aristocratic as the Nanmeng family, but Sun Lingdie is really the eldest daughter of the Tianji Sun family. Her grandfather accompanies her whenever she goes out, fearing that something might happen to her precious granddaughter. The maids have obviously been carefully selected. However, Nanmeng Gong is only the eighth sister of the Nanmeng family. The clothes, jewelry, speech and behavior of the maids accompanying her are far less refined than those of Sun Lingdie's maids.

The Lingjian Tower was a huge place, even with a place for banquets. Sun Yanwan led everyone to the side hall. As seven or eight food boxes were opened one after another, he couldn't help but feel hungry. This was the first time he had seen so many delicious foods since he traveled through time.

Sun Lingdie brought a table full of delicious dishes, eight cold and eight hot. You couldn't leave without twelve or thirteen taels of silver.

What Namco brought was six exquisite side dishes and a pot of steamed buns. It was obvious that they were made by hand. Even the plates, bowls and chopsticks had Namco's floating cloud patterns, and were not the utensils used in restaurants outside.

Sun Yanwan smiled and said, "Big Brother, this is a lot of food. It will take the combined efforts of our fellow disciples to digest it." He also said to Sun Lingdie and Namco, "You two sisters, come and eat together. After you're full, you'll have the energy to cheer me up."

Sun Lingdie was immediately delighted and said, "Brother Sun, you will surely win again today! Winning in consecutive battles!"

Namco just smiled and didn't say much, behaving very politely.

Zhang Qingxi chuckled and sat down at the table, finding it more and more interesting.

Halfway through the meal, I heard someone singing outside: "Sun Yanwan of Lingjian Peak versus Ding Fenxiu of Feilong Peak."

Sun Yanwan wiped her mouth, stood up and was about to go downstairs when she heard the eldest brother say, "Be careful this time!"

"Ding Fenxiu is Senior Sister Jiang Yan's apprentice."

Sun Yanwan asked, "Is it amazing? How amazing?"

There are dozens of disciples in the three generations of Songyang Sect, and the strongest ones are Pei Han, Madam Wei and Jiang Yan. All three are masters with superb strength. Their disciples must be extremely powerful. Sun Yanwan even hesitated a little.

Zhang Qingxi pondered for a moment and said, "She is nine years old this year!"
