A Thousand Enlightenments in One Night, Starting From Being a Menial Apprentice

Chapter 286: The Unreliable Great Clear Realm

Duan Rong scanned the gate with his spiritual sense and found that it was Zhu Xiaoqi who was standing outside the gate. He immediately sheathed his sword, leaped, unbolted the door, and opened the gate.

The spring sun shone on Zhu Xiaoqi's face. She looked at Duan Rong with a faint light in her eyes.

After a few breaths, Zhu Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Hey... Whose son is this? I almost didn't recognize him!"

Duan Rong said, "How is it? Isn't this outfit good?"

Zhu Xiaoqi blinked. "Not bad! Clothes really make the man!"

Duan Rong said, "Aren't we going on a long journey soon? Get some clothes to show off! Xiaoqi, what do you want from me?"

"I almost forgot! The master asked you to come over for lunch!"

"Eat?"

"Yes. You and Miss Yu are leaving tomorrow. I asked you to come over for a farewell dinner!" Zhu Xiaoqi said as he turned to leave, saying, "Remember to come!"

Duan Rong looked at Zhu Xiaoqi as he walked and talked, and said, "Why are you in a hurry?"

Zhu Xiaoqi pointed at the sun above his head and said, "Look, what time is it? I have to go back to pick up vegetables!"

Duan Rong smiled lightly and closed the gate. He looked at the willow branches dancing in the wind in the courtyard, his eyes surging.

After the Elite Selection Meeting, he got the Ice Toad Su, and since he wanted to avoid the visits from all sides, he went directly to Wild Boar Mountain and began to practice in seclusion.

Duan Rong is an orphan, and he has always envied those people with perfect clan relationships.

Especially at this time, when other people encounter such embarrassment, their fathers will come forward to block the exchanges between all parties for them. The older generation has a scale in their hearts to distinguish which ones are shallow acquaintances, which ones are deep acquaintances, and which ones do not need to be paid attention to.

But he did not have this fate!

Then, he encountered Jie Daohan's pursuit as soon as he returned to the city from Wild Boar Mountain. As time was delayed, he did not visit Xiao Zongting, Ximen Yong and other people he should visit.

According to human relations, he was a little impolite.

Duan Rong immediately went out and went to the herbal medicine shop first to buy two old mountain ginseng and two ganoderma lucidum. He also went to the jade shop to buy a pair of excellent jade ruyi and put them in a wooden box.

Duan Rong saw that it was almost time for dinner, so he carried these things and went to Xiao Zongting's courtyard.

Xiao Zongting and Xiao Yu were drinking tea and chatting in the main room. When they saw Duan Rong come in, they were both startled.

Duan Rong had always looked unkempt and sloppy before, but that was very pleasing to Xiao Zongting's eyes. Xiao Zongting frowned when he saw Duan Rong's outfit today, because he felt that Duan Rong didn't have the roughness and toughness of a warrior.

But Xiao Yu found it very pleasing to the eye and smiled, "Where have you been these days? I looked for you twice, but I didn't see you."

Duan Rong smiled and said, "I went to the mountains to practice martial arts."

When Duan Rong said this, Xiao Zongting and Xiao Yu's eyes moved.

Unexpectedly, Duan Rong has already advanced to a registered disciple of the sect, and he is still so diligent.

Especially Xiao Zongting, his eyes when he looked at Duan Rong were obviously deeper. He praised in his heart, this is the true nature of a martial arts fanatic!

Xiao Yu took the gift that Duan Rong brought over for Xiao Zongting. She got up and made a cup of tea for Duan Rong. The three of them sat in the main room and chatted.

At this time, the three of them had no grudges in their hearts, and soon the chat became warm. Xiao Yu smiled and glanced at Duan Rong from time to time.

After Zhu Xiaoqi had prepared the dishes, he called several people to the side room to sit down.

During the meal, Xiao Zongting opened a jar of aged wine.

Zhu Xiaoqi was not good at drinking. After a bowl of wine, he began to feel dizzy and talk nonsense.

"The silly boy is gone! Miss Yu is gone! Only the master and I are left alone in this yard..."

After several people finished eating, Xiao Yu helped Zhu Xiaoqi to rest on the bed in the inner room.

Xiao Zongting sat on the armchair in the main room and called Xiao Yu and Duan Rong over.

Xiao Zongting looked solemn, glanced at Xiao Yu and Duan Rong, and said coldly: "You two kneel down!"

Xiao Yu saw that her father looked serious, she turned her head to look at Duan Rong, and then knelt down.

Duan Rong saw Xiao Yu kneeling down, and he and Xiao Zongting were both master and disciple in name and in reality, so Xiao Zongting could accept his kneeling.

Duan Rong also knelt down respectfully!

Xiao Zongting looked at Duan Rong, nodded, and took out three secret books from his arms, two of which were placed in Duan Rong's hands, and one in Xiao Yu's hands.

"The secret book in your hands is a middle-level martial art that I practiced when I was young, the Thirteen Soul-breaking Styles."

"This martial art is open and closed, strong and powerful. Xiao Yu may not be suitable for practicing it. When you enter Taiyi Sect, you can choose another martial art that suits you. This martial art can be used as a way of mutual reference. Study it in your spare time."

"Duan Rong, this Thirteen Soul-breaking Styles, in my opinion, is quite suitable for you to practice. But what martial art should you choose and how to practice it in the future? I can no longer teach you. You have to figure it out on your own!"

"There is also a light skill of the Cloud Snake Step, which I also learned when I was wandering in the world in my early years. I will pass it on to you!"

"Duan Rong, I don't have a son. Passing these things to you can also be regarded as leaving some thoughts for myself. But I understand that you must have your own ideas about how to go in the future!"

Xiao Zongting obviously has something to say!

As Xiao Zongting said, his eyes glanced at Xiao Yu. He already knew Xiao Yu's feelings for Duan Rong, but they were both still young, and now they were going to a distant sect. Who knew what the final outcome would be?

He passed these two martial arts to Duan Rong, hoping that he could understand his feelings and not let Xiao Yu down one day.

Duan Rong looked at the two secret books in his hand, his eyes slightly reddened.

He had read Xiao Zongting's weapon spirit.

Xiao Zongting passed these two martial arts to him, and he had already taught him everything he knew without reservation.

Duan Rong was touched and knocked his head to the ground. "Duan Rong will never forget the kindness of Master Xiao's teaching!"

Xiao Zongting said: "Get up. Duan Rong, you have done a favor to my Xiao family, you don't have to do this."

Duan Rong did not move.

Xiao Zongting said: "Xiao Yu, you also get up! Help Duan Rong up!"

Xiao Yu's face slightly reddened, she felt that she and Duan Rong, kneeling down to Xiao Zongting, were like worshiping their parents.

Xiao Yu helped Duan Rong stand up.

Xiao Zongting looked at the two people standing in front of him, thinking that his beloved daughter and apprentice would leave tomorrow, and he suddenly felt empty in his heart.

Xiao Zongting waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, you guys go down."

Duan Rong and Xiao Yu walked out of the hall.

At the door, Duan Rong looked at Xiao Yu and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow. You should accompany the old man well."

Xiao Yu nodded and hummed lightly, and Duan Rong immediately left the courtyard. Xiao Yu looked at Duan Rong's back until he disappeared, and then retracted his gaze.

Duan Rong returned to Liulu, closed the courtyard door, and sat in the pavilion in the courtyard.

He put the Thirteen Soul-breaking Styles aside first, and carefully read the Cloud Snake Step.

This secret book of the Cloud Snake Step is a complete book, and the Cloud Snake Step that Duan Rong practiced was directly obtained from the spirit of the artifact that devoured Xiao Yu's anklet, which is the same as the achievement of practicing the original secret book.

However, the subsequent realm, the small success realm of the Cloud Snake Step, came from his accidental understanding of galloping and leaping in the Wild Boar Mountain.

The Cloud Snake Step at this time is very different from the original secret book.

The subsequent improvement came from his penetration after he achieved the state of great perfection. This is a kind of forced improvement by learning from others, and there is no accumulation of layers and natural results in the original secret book.

Duan Rong looked at the secret book of the Cloud Snake Step at this time, and felt a sense of clearing the clouds and seeing the sun.

Many details that were sloppy and inadequate suddenly became clear.

Some of the steps that he forcibly bypassed were recorded in detail in the secret book.

"So that's it!..."

Duan Rong was more and more happy as he read it, and he took the secret book and walked in the yard.

He had a residual shadow, his steps were erratic, and his eyes became clearer and clearer.

"The wonderfulness of this Cloud Snake Step is all in the details!"

No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, look!

Duan Rong suddenly walked along a willow tree, straight to the top of the tree, and then he stepped on the tender branches of the treetop, with a residual shadow, floating back and forth.

Duan Rong suddenly leaped from the treetops to the kitchen roof.

Duan Rong's figure was as fast as a ghost, running over the rows of tiles, but the dilapidated roof did not make a sound.

Duan Rong suddenly floated, landed lightly, and stood steadily in the middle of the courtyard.

And the moment he landed, he still tilted his head and looked at the Cloud Snake Step Secret Book in his hand with concentration.

Duan Rong studied the secret book attentively, and practiced in the courtyard as soon as he understood it.

By dusk, Duan Rong had completely re-cultivated the second half of the Cloud Snake Step!

In fact, this light skill is extremely difficult to practice if it is practiced in the normal way!

However, Duan Rong directly obtained the mastery level of this light skill by devouring the spirit of the weapon, which means that a solid foundation has been laid.

And in his subsequent practice, he also achieved the latter realm in his own way.

At this time, he looked at the original secret book again, which was equivalent to sorting out the evidence, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps. All adjustments were actually adjustments in the details.

When the sun set and a ray of residual rainbow spread into the courtyard, Duan Rong finally finished reading the last page of the Cloud Snake Step Secret Book.

Duan Rong read the secret book, and his heart was filled with the joy of harvest.

The rebuilt Cloud Snake Step was obviously much more powerful!

Duan Rong's eyes moved, and he looked at another secret book on the stone table in the pavilion. Although Duan Rong felt tired after a whole afternoon of focused hard work.

However, he didn't want to rest at all, because he still had a big question to explore.

It was already time for dinner, but Duan Rong had no time to eat, and he felt that he should be able to withstand eating so many hard dishes at noon.

Duan Rong picked up the secret book on the stone table and went into the inner room.

At dusk, the light in the inner room was dim.

Duan Rong lit the oil lamp and sat cross-legged on the bed!

He wanted to study the problem of the true qi realm!

By devouring Jie Daohan's sword spirit, he has already achieved the first level of knowledge and insight of the Withered Prajna Sword.

And he also has the secret book of the Thirty Soul-Breaking Styles given by Xiao Zongting.

If he hadn't been going to the sect tomorrow, he really wanted to retreat for a while and study it carefully.

Duan Rong sat cross-legged on the bed and immediately began to refine the true qi from the internal breath according to the true qi refining method of the Withered Prajna Sword!

Unlike the cultivation of internal breath, the cultivation of internal breath requires standing in the round pile, because the internal breath originates from the qi and blood, and the internal breath is condensed from the rush of qi and blood.

But the cultivation of true qi is different!

Its method of moving qi is not to let you stand in the pile, but to let you sit cross-legged!

Although Duan Rong has achieved the first level of knowledge and insight of the Withered Prajna Sword, it is still a slow process to achieve true success.

You have to refine the true qi from the internal breath bit by bit!

Duan Rong himself did not expect that he would sit cross-legged for a whole night!

He suddenly opened his eyes when the cock crowed. After a night of hard practice, there was only a faint and undetectable wisp of true qi in his Dantian!

Duan Rong was inevitably depressed. He had adapted to the hurricane-like speed of practice, and there were obvious results in almost every day of practice.

It was really hard for him to accept that he could only refine a wisp of barely detectable weak true qi after practicing hard for a night like this!

"With such progress, when will I be able to achieve the first level?"

Duan Rong also knew that such progress was without medicine supplements. If there were medicine supplements to keep up, the speed of practice would definitely be much faster.

However, this problem can only be solved after he enters the sect.

But at this time, Duan Rong suddenly remembered a problem.

That is, this morning, he was practicing in the courtyard, and suddenly entered that state of great emptiness again!

At that time, in his Dantian, the true qi was actually quickly refined from the internal breath. In just a few breaths, the true qi refined was much thicker than the true qi he had refined after practicing hard for a night!

But later, when he thought about it, the Great Void Realm collapsed!

At that time, he didn't have time to think, Zhu Xiaoqi came, and he interrupted his thoughts.

Now thinking about it, that kind of Great Void Realm is quite magical!

In the Great Void Realm, you can briefly step into the next realm, almost directly achieve it!

But his disadvantages are also obvious. As long as the mind moves, it will immediately collapse, and it has almost no practical value.

Duan Rong suddenly thought that he participated in the apprentice escort assessment last year, almost at this time!

During the period, he forgot his mind for a while and slashed at the chief instructor Xiao Zongting with a knife.

At that time, Zhao Mu was so scared that he jumped up and cursed him!

Now thinking about it, he entered this kind of Great Void Realm at that time!

Duan Rong felt that this ability to occasionally enter the Great Clear Realm was not like the ability to devour weapon spirits, which came with his soul!

This ability was actually possessed by the original body itself.

He just inherited it!

Because, Duan Rong recalled the memory of the original body and found that he had had several similar experiences when he was a child!

However, this ability is also very useless, it is not controlled at all, and you don’t know when it will be triggered!

And even if you enter it by chance, as long as you think about it, it will immediately dissipate.

When the original body was a child, he experienced this state and felt a trance. He suddenly woke up and thought he was sick and was scared!

Duan Rong linked some old memories deep in his memory and smiled slightly. He immediately put the Great Clear Realm behind him. This thing is too unreliable, uncontrollable, and cannot be relied on!

Duan Rong saw that the day was about to dawn, so he immediately blew out the oil lamp and lay down with a blanket. He was leaving Xiangu County today and heading to the sect, so he should at least get some sleep and get some energy!

Thanks to the book friend "Holding the Moon and Saying Goodbye" for his generous reward! I have nothing to repay you, so I can only pledge my life to you!

Throw yourself down!
