Gu Nian'an was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the woman.

I just didn't expect that she would confront me so soon.

The woman in the white dress bowed to Gu Nian'an and said, "My lord, are you feeling better?"

Gu Nian'an stood up and bowed, "Thank you Miss Qiu Rong for your concern. I'm fine. I just need to rest for a while."

"Then Qiu Rong hopes that Master's injuries will get better and he can leave as soon as possible. This is not a place for strangers to stay."

"it is good."

After hearing Gu Nian'an's response, the figure of the woman in white disappeared from his sight little by little.

Gu Nian'an could understand Qiu Rong's refusal to see her.

The speed at which her injuries recovered was too abnormal, and she should have noticed the spear appearing out of nowhere.

Or she has already met Hu Xingyue.

Someone so abnormal and potentially troublesome was a little too dangerous for them.

Walking to the place where Qiu Rong had just disappeared, Gu Nian'an picked up a bowl of porridge from the table and started drinking.

There is nothing to worry about. If they wanted to harm me, they would have died last night. There was no need to wait until now.

Besides, few of the women who can be written into the stories of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio are evil to the core.

After drinking the porridge, Gu Nian'an returned to the bed to meditate, hoping to recover from his injuries as soon as possible and leave.

I have a lot of troubles myself, I can't let them get involved in my troubles.

It was a little dark at night, and there were few stars in the sky.

A figure in a purple dress stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, then finally knocked on the door.

"Boom, boom, boom"

The noise at the door brought Gu Nian'an, who was meditating, back to his senses.

"The door is unlocked, please come in."

Xiao Xie pushed open the door and looked at the figure sitting cross-legged on the bed with a complicated expression.

"When did you know that I was not a stranger?"

Hearing this, Gu Nian'an opened his eyes and looked at the woman in purple dress standing at the door.

"I knew from the beginning that I am a martial artist, so I am more sensitive to other people's breathing and heartbeats."

"Are not you afraid?"

"There are bad people and good ghosts. They are all intelligent beings. There is no need to be afraid of them."

Hearing Gu Nian'an's answer, Xiao Xie's beautiful dark eyes lit up.

She walked slowly to Gu Nian'an's bed, with hope in her voice.

"Mr. Gu, can you tell me about the outside world?"

Instead of answering Xiao Xie's question immediately, Gu Nian'an sighed.

"Ah! Miss Xie, your sister should have told you not to have too much contact with me. You should have listened to her."

A person who can remain calm even when knowing that they are not human is either a fool or a person with real ability.

Gu Nian'an's situation is obviously the second one, so Qiu Rong should explain it clearly.

If someone like him develops ill will towards them, the consequences will be quite serious.

Hearing Gu Nian'an's words, Xiao Xie turned his head somewhat unnaturally.

My sister has told me about it, but it's really boring. I have to stay in the Jiang family's villa all day and I'm not allowed to go out.

This time she finally met a stranger who was not afraid of them, how could she endure it?

Seeing that the woman in front of the bed was a little shy but had no intention of leaving, Gu Nian'an decided to tell her the truth.

"Miss Xie, I used to live in the mountains. This is my third time going down the mountain, so I don't know much about the outside world."

Hearing this, Xiao Xie turned her head and looked at the young man sitting cross-legged on the bed, but her originally bright eyes dimmed.

"Then Xiao Xie will not bother Master Gu."

After saying this, the woman in front of the bed slowly disappeared from his sight.

Looking at the gradually disappearing figure, Gu Nian'an did not try to keep him.

Qiu Rong was right. I was a person who could easily get into trouble. Too much contact with me would do more harm than good to them.

After Xiao Xie's figure completely disappeared.

Gu Nian'an gently took out an oil-paper package from his arms, only to see that there was a hole in the package and it was stained with a lot of blood.

He opened the package and found a book inside. This was a gift from Xu Chongxiao. It was also their sect's unique martial arts technique, Ruyi Jin.

Holding the thin book in his hand, he felt it was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Although he accepted the gift, Xu Chongxiao's enemy is still alive and well in this world.

This made him feel a little guilty.

Sighing softly, Gu Nian'an opened the book and said, "It's okay. I'm not strong enough yet."

When he becomes stronger and finds out the reason why Xue Muwan is not dead, he will take Xue Muwan's head to pay tribute to his good friend.

Gu Nian'an flipped through the contents of the book in the moonlight for several hours before carefully placing the book on the bedside.

He had read the general content. He had practiced martial arts for some years and was also proficient in medical skills, so he could understand everything recorded in the book.

The first step is to draw the qi into the body?

Gu Nian'an slowly sat cross-legged on the bed, with his five hearts facing the sky, closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and entered a deep state of meditation.

According to the method recorded in "Ruyi Jin", he now focused all his attention on his lower dantian.

Imagine that all the energy in your body is continuously converging there to form a vortex.

Gradually, gradually, a stream of air gathered at the dantian.

Gu Nian'an tried hard to control his mind, focusing all his attention on the weak airflow, guiding it to flow in his dantian.

This process lasted for a full hour.

The long period of concentration made him a little tired.

But it is at this time that the airflow converges into the Dantian and starts to circulate on its own.

Suddenly, Gu Nian'an opened his eyes suddenly, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

This is successful, I am indeed a genius.

According to the book, gathering true Qi and guiding its flow is the process of water grinding kung fu.

Even if a person is gifted, it is difficult to achieve success without ten days or half a month.

But I completed the first step of practicing internal skills within two hours. So what am I? A monster?

Gu Nian'an suppressed the joy in his heart and slowly stood up. The previous training was quite exhausting. He was a little thirsty now and wanted to find some water to drink.

As soon as he stood up, his body trembled and a blue arc flashed on his body.

Gu Nian'an blinked in confusion.

Then he quickly sat cross-legged on the bed again, calmed his mind, and sensed carefully.

After a while, the corners of his mouth twitched violently.

His true energy, where did the true energy in his Dantian go?

He gathered the true energy again according to the secret book. The true energy appeared after an hour, and disappeared with a "pop" three seconds later. The electric shock left nothing behind.

This time he figured out that there was no problem with his talent for cultivating true Qi, the problem lay with his lightning ability.

This thing is too powerful and is completely incompatible with true Qi. As long as true Qi appears in one's body, it will be electrocuted into nothingness in a moment, without any room for resistance.

Gu Nian sat on the bed and pondered for a moment, then looked at the martial arts secret book placed quietly beside him, and he suddenly felt helpless.

It seems that I am destined to have no chance of learning Qigong martial arts. I still need to put more effort into the reckless path of physical training.

Time flies, and five days have passed in a flash.

The physical recovery was somewhat beyond Gu Nian'an's expectations.

Normal movement on the ground is not a big problem, but if you want to use force, you will probably have to wait three or four days.

During the days when he was recuperating, Xiao Xie brought him some food and the two of them also had some communication.

But not too much. He knew what he was going to do in the future, so the shallower his relationship with her was, the better, so as to avoid trouble from the underworld in the future.
