I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

Time flies like a horse passing through the window, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The Jianmu trees in the courtyard had grown into leg-high saplings under the infusion of Yan Xiu's gentle spiritual energy every day, but they were still unable to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Qingluan tilted her head and looked at the lush and green Jianmu saplings, her eyes full of curiosity.

"You can't eat this."

Qingluan seemed to understand what he said and flapped its wings.

Yan Xiu smiled slightly and looked up not far away.

Shou Yuan and the other person were sitting cross-legged and practicing martial arts silently.

Yan Xiu had already taught them the Yiqi Haina Gong. In addition, he went to the Cangwu Pavilion and carefully selected some exercises suitable for the two of them.

These two little guys are also very competitive. As early as three months ago, they successfully entered the ninth-grade Body Tempering Realm warriors.

Yan Xiu assisted them with medicinal baths to temper their bodies and medicinal pills every day. With so many resources piled up, even those with the poorest qualifications could successfully enter the realm of quality.

At this moment, a surging aura suddenly gathered all over Shouyuan's body.

Yan Xiu looked at Shou Yuan and nodded secretly.

"It's not bad to break through the first level in March."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shouyuan's aura suddenly subsided and he slowly opened his eyes.

He looked down at his hands, then jumped up and shouted happily to Yan Xiu, "Big Brother, I have reached the eighth level!"

Yan Xiu smiled and nodded, turning his gaze to Shouqing.

This boy seems to be slower than Shou Yuan, but the true Qi in his body is very condensed, showing a tendency to be fully developed over time.

By this time Shouqing had also finished his training and slowly stood up and saluted.

"I've met senior brother."

Yan Xiu took out two manuals and handed them over, saying seriously, "The path of cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. But haste makes waste. Don't be impatient."

Shou Yuan and the other man said "Oh" as if they understood something, then took the secret book and nodded.

"Go."

Yan Xiu waved his hand and let the two go play.

Cultivation also requires a balance between relaxation and intensity. If one only practices all day long and eventually becomes a martial arts fanatic, that is not what Yan Xiu wants to see.

Just after Shou Yuan and the other man left happily, Zhu Miao came over with a report of intelligence.

Yan Xiu just glanced through it.

The imperial court and the remnants of the Jin Dynasty were still in a tug-of-war, while the Shatuo Kingdom in the northern border was losing ground, losing cities and territories, and retreating thousands of miles.

The emperor's illness improved, and he gradually began to handle state affairs.

Yan Xiu closed the letter and slowly felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy in his body.

The fourth level of the Purple Mansion Immortal Scripture has been perfected, and he feels that he may be able to step into the fifth level at any time.

By then, he can go anywhere in the world, and he will not be afraid even of the Tianyuan realm around the emperor.

"Do you want to give it a try?"

A thought suddenly popped up in Yan Xiu's mind.

Although he estimated that the fifth level of the Purple Mansion Immortal Scripture could surpass the Tianyuan Realm, this was ultimately just his own guess and not a fact.

Moreover, so many years have passed, and I wonder if there will be other variables around the emperor.

For example, the person in Tianyuan realm has already entered Tiangang realm.

"No, you must be steady. You can't expose yourself easily until you can beat ten Tiangang realms."

Yan Xiu shook his head in his heart, this matter must be handled with extreme caution.

Although he possesses the fruit of immortality, it does not mean that he is invincible.

Yan Xiu always maintained awe of this world, believing that there are always people better than you. After all, there are other dynasties and kingdoms besides the Yuan Dynasty.

Besides, apart from the land, there is also a world outside the desert sea. After all, Qingluan came from overseas.

After handing the pill to Zhu Miao, Yan Xiu asked, "How is it going?"

Zhu Miao suppressed his excitement and took the pill and said respectfully, "I will never forget what the Taoist priest ordered. My disciples sent me news that they will be able to deliver the pills in two days at most."

Yan Xiu nodded, and a plan was brewing in his mind.

Just then, a voice came from the mountain gate.

"I am Cong Zhanwen from Yuanzhou. I have heard that the Taoist method of Fuzhen Temple is unparalleled, so I have come here today to ask for your advice!"

The sound rolled like thunder, causing the trees in the mountains and forests to rustle.

Li Feng and others rushed out after hearing this, but the man today was not as rude as the previous times when he came to provoke.

Cong Zhanwen held a folding fan, smiled and was polite.

Yan Xiu also walked slowly down the mountain at this time.

"I heard that this person is a well-known warrior on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. His father is the leader of the Yuanzhou Stepping Heaven Alliance. At such a young age, he has already reached the peak of the first-grade transformation realm."

Yan Xiu thought to himself, so that's how it is, and a smile appeared on his face. He didn't expect that news in the martial arts world would spread so quickly.

From the information brought by the intelligence report, he learned that after defeating Lou Yan of Fengxian Dao, he was ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List, squeezing out Cong Zhanwen who had been at the top of the list for a long time.

Although Lou Yan's innateness was acquired with the help of external objects, he is still considered a martial artist at the innate realm, and his value is naturally much higher.

In this case, it is no wonder that Cong Zhanwen would come here to fight.

Yan Xiu walked out of the crowd and bowed to Cong Zhanwen.

The latter also returned the greeting, smiling brightly, "My name is Cong Zhanwen. I heard that the Taoist master defeated a Xiantian realm demon Taoist, so I came to ask for your advice!"

Cong Zhanwen learned from many sources that Lou Yan's innate realm was not real. He also learned from his father that such people were far inferior to the real innate realm in strength and would fall into a disadvantage over time.

Cong Zhanwen, who has practiced the family's superior mental skills, is also confident that he can fight them back and forth.

After all, his father was the only innate realm warrior in the Tatian Alliance, so Cong Zhanwen naturally believed what he said.

Yan Xiu looked him up and down and nodded secretly in his heart.

This person has excellent aptitude, and it is only a matter of time before he achieves the innate realm in the future.

But Yan Xiu did not intend to take action. After all, a state of transformation posed no threat to him.

"Helian Cheng!"

Helian Cheng, holding a broom, was about to eat melon and watch the show, but he heard Yan Xiu calling his name.

He hurriedly threw away the broom and jumped forward.

"I've met the Taoist priest."

Yan Xiu waved his hand, motioning him to come closer.

"Are you confident in fighting this man?"

Helian Cheng probed Cong Zhanwen's Qi, and said with a sad face: "Master, you think too highly of me. This person is at the peak of the first rank. How can I be his opponent?"

Yan Xiu smiled mysteriously when he heard this.

"As long as you beat him, I will teach you my Thousand Machine Sword Technique. How about that?"

Helian Cheng immediately changed his tone, raised his head and chest, clasped his fists and said solemnly: "I am willing to serve you, Taoist priest!"

After saying that, he turned around and jumped, landing in front of Cong Zhanwen.

Cong Zhanwen opened his folding fan with a snap and said with a smile, "Master Taoist, please give me some advice."

Helian Cheng didn't say anything more, he just shouted and rushed forward.

Cong Zhanwen is worthy of being a master at the peak of the first-grade transformation realm. Facing Helian Cheng's fierce attack with ease, his steps are relaxed and free, showing the demeanor of a graceful young man. Helian Cheng, who has been attacking for a long time, has never been able to gain any advantage.

After dozens of moves, Cong Zhanwen used his wrist to push Helian Cheng back with the folding fan in his hand, and said to Yan Xiu loudly: "This man is no match for me, Taoist priest, please come down and fight me in person."

Yan Xiu smiled faintly and did not answer. He flicked his fingers and injected two streams of spiritual power into Helian Cheng's body.

Suddenly, the latter felt a mysterious power inexplicably arising in his body, and his whole body was filled with endless true energy, which almost burst him.

In a blink of an eye, the two were fighting again.

With the help of Yan Xiu's spiritual power, Helian Cheng came on with such force that Cong Zhanwen was forced to fight with all his strength.

At this moment, Cong Zhanwen was shocked, wondering how come this boy's true energy recovered so quickly?

After just a few moves, his folding fan was shattered by Helian Cheng's punch, and the sandbag-sized fist landed on his chest.

The powerful internal energy made Cong Zhanwen retreat seven or eight steps before he could steady himself.

He hurriedly used his mental skills to suppress the blood rushing back from his throat, and said with a folded hand, "I lost."

After saying that, he turned around and left without further ado. Yan Xiu did not try to stop him and just let him go.

Helian Cheng laughed loudly, and came to Yan Xiu excitedly and said, "Does the Taoist priest keep his word?"

Yan Xiu smiled and nodded, motioning for him to follow.
