Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 67: Twenty Years Later, Number One in the World
Asking for the first monthly ticket in March. I coded it at the Yuewen annual meeting. It’s not easy.

Still writing, more to come later...

Sun Yanwan exclaimed in praise: "Yang Jin Dan is really useful!"

One Yang Golden Pill, five years of hard Zen practice!

With the help of medicine, Sun Yanwan opened up three meridians, two of which were hidden meridians. Although he thought that he would never be so bad in five years, being able to jump from the eighth grade to the sixth grade was still pretty good.

Zhang Qingxi nodded and said, "Just like me back then, I took the Yangjin Pill and opened up all five meridians."

Sun Yanwan thought to himself, "Big Brother, if you give me a little more time, I can make some more breakthroughs."

He has too much energy stored in his body, which has not yet been fully digested. He will continue to make progress in the next few days.

But since he didn't understand, Sun Yanwan didn't say anything. After all, he wasn't a child. He just asked, "Is the medicine working well for me?"

Zhang Qingxi nodded in approval, "Not bad indeed."

Sun Yanwan suddenly felt a little complacent, thinking to himself: "Although I'm not as good as Senior Brother, but since Senior Brother said it's not bad, then it's okay."

Didn't he know that Zhang Qingxi's heart was not as calm as he appeared, and it had been in turmoil for a long time?

The Yangjin Pill can increase one's internal strength by five years, but it is just a fictitious number. It is not based on the cultivation progress of a genius, but on the speed of cultivating internal strength of an ordinary person.

Generally speaking, taking a Yang Jin Dan can open up at least two meridians. If it can open up three or four meridians, it is considered extremely extraordinary. If it can open up five meridians...

Well, that’s Zhang Qingxi!

If one has superior mental skills and is extremely talented, one can open up a meridian in a few months.

However, people's talents and endowments are different. Some people are born with certain meridians that are easy to open, while some meridians are particularly difficult to cultivate. This speed cannot be maintained all the time.

The Ziwu Meridian is a foundation-laying mental method that often requires several times the time to open up a single meridian.

Back then, Zhang Qingxi used the Qianqing Qi to penetrate five meridians, but Sun Yanwan used the Ziwu Meridian to penetrate three of them, two of which were hidden meridians. They were completely different things.

Zhang Qingxi had a complicated expression. After a while, he said, "Since the C-class competition is over, and Junior Brother has taken the Yangjin Pill and refined the medicinal power, his skills have also increased. The remaining competitions are meaningless, so it's better not to watch them. I'm leaving now."

Sun Yanwan had a premonition early on, especially the strangeness of the fat old man's arrival. He was white, plump, and beardless, looking like an old eunuch. He couldn't even have a private conversation with the eldest brother in his presence. There must be something to say. Although he felt sad, he could only say, "Elder Brother, go and come back soon."

He practiced martial arts, ate, slept, meditated, and fought swords with Zhang Qingxi. Suddenly, one of them was missing. He felt empty in his heart, and he couldn't describe the feeling. He just felt sore in his eyes, but he couldn't cry.

Zhang Qingxi shook his head. He had said before that he would be back soon, but Du Kumei brought an important piece of news, and he was afraid he would not be able to come back this time.

Zhang Qingxi was sent to the Songyang School at a very young age and became a disciple of Zhang Yuanqiao.

All his memories were connected to the Songyang Sect. He had been learning martial arts there for as long as he could remember. His relationship with his teacher was incredibly deep, and with his senior sisters, they were like mothers to him. Although he didn't spend much time with Sun Yanwan, he was the one who brought her back to Taiyi Temple. Without his unwavering guarantee, Miao Youxiu wouldn't have been so impressed by the Grandmaster's acceptance of him as a disciple.

As soon as Zhang Qingxi saw Sun Yanwan, he liked her immediately and felt that they had a perfect liking for each other.

Most of Sun Yanwan's martial arts were taught by him personally. Whenever Zhang Yuanqiao didn't understand something, he would patiently explain it to him one sentence at a time. He would also explain repeatedly the parts of Sun Yanwan's martial arts that he didn't quite understand.

When Sun Yanwan wanted to practice sword, he accompanied her and taught her every move.

Even food, clothing, housing and transportation were not something Sun Yanwan himself paid attention to, but life in Taiyi Temple was arranged by Zhang Qingxi himself.

To Zhang Qingxi, Sun Yanwan is like his own younger brother, whom he raised with his own hands. The relationship he has with him is different from that with elders like his master and senior sister. There is a different kind of closeness.

Now that he was leaving, Zhang Qingxi didn't know if he would have the chance to see his master and senior sister again, or if he would have the chance to see his junior brother again and teach him martial arts.

Even though Zhang Qingxi is known as the Little Sword God and was personally given the title of Young Master of the Divine Sword by the old owner of Youjian Villa, and is very famous in the martial arts world, almost everyone believes that he will become a grandmaster in the future, but after all, how can a human being be heartless?

Zhang Qingxi patted Sun Yanwan on the shoulder with emotion and said, "Before we leave, I have a few words to tell you." "Before us, Master had another disciple."

Sun Yanwan was surprised and said, "That senior brother..."

"Did he betray his master?"

Zhang Qingxi shook his head and said, "He was killed."

Sun Yanwan suddenly felt a little apologetic and said, "I spoke nonsense."

"Master, didn't you take revenge?"

Zhang Qingxi said calmly, "The one who did it was someone from the imperial court, and Master killed him. But Master and I both know that the real murderer is someone else."

“It’s impossible to find out who is behind this.”

Sun Yanwan couldn't help but ask, "Why would someone want to kill that senior brother?"

Zhang Qingxi said with a strange expression, "No one hopes that the next generation of the Songyang Sect will continue to produce a constant stream of geniuses. Just like no one wants to see the next generation of the Demon Sect grow up to become a peerless master."

"It's not just our martial arts sect. Even the royal family of the Dalang Dynasty loses a few talented children every year. The same is true for Nanxia and Beiyan."

"Weren't you assassinated once?

"That time, there must be other explanations. It may not be the people from the Demon Cult who took action."

"Sometimes, members of the Demon Cult can be used as weapons and sticks by others. It's not difficult to bribe a few of them."

Sun Yanwan took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Zhang Qingxi said slowly: "So Master and I hope that Junior Brother, you will temporarily..."

Seeing that his senior brother was at a loss for words, Sun Yanwan said, "Hide your strength and bide your time."

Zhang Qingxi nodded and said, "That's a good word, it means to keep a low profile, because..."

Seeing that his senior brother was speechless again, Sun Yanwan quickly said, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

Zhang Qingxi was very impressed and said, "That's right, so..."

He took a deep breath and was about to say something that would shock his senior brother. But Sun Yanwan, fearing that his senior brother would be embarrassed, added, "Flowing water doesn't compete for the lead; it competes for its constant flow."

Zhang Qingxi had nothing to say and could only pat his second junior brother on the shoulder again. He had something he wanted to say in his heart, but he was afraid of hurting the harmony between his fellow disciples.

If Sun Yanwan knew, he would definitely speak up for the eldest brother: "Second Junior Brother, you said it very well. Don't say it next time."

Zhang Qingxi was still a little worried and warned, "I specifically told you a few more years about your martial arts training age because I hoped Second Junior Brother could keep it a secret. While Senior Brother is away this time, you should stay in Songyang Mountain for the time being. Don't show off your martial arts skills and be patient for a few more years."

"Your current martial arts skills are just..."

Sun Yanwan quickly spoke up for the eldest brother, "It's just a little bit of a jerk, it's not worth pretending."

Zhang Qingxi didn't understand the complaint, but he didn't want to dwell on such unimportant things anymore. He said earnestly, "Your martial arts talent is even better than your senior brother's."

"Big Brother only hopes that you can still be alive and kicking in twenty years."

"If I were to travel the world."

"You can tell others: My second junior brother..."

"Martial arts is the best in the world!"
