I am a shooter

Liao Qingxuan fell into deep thought and made up her mind that she should meet Xiaohan and ask for details about Ning Shu.

However, she did not worry too much about Ning Shu's qi sea, but decided to observe it for a while longer. After all, although this qi sea was large, it was always rotating, making her feel quite unstable. This was the first time she had seen such a situation, and she didn't know whether it was good or bad.

At this time, a man in blue was using the levitation technique and was pulling a box towards the two of them.

Seeing this, Liao Qingxuan signaled Qingyi to stop, and then took Ning Shu to open the box and reveal the contents of the box.

It was a set of clothes, specially made clothes, which looked like a product of Blue Star, a leather coat to be more precise;

This specially made leather jacket is very complete, including seven pieces: helmet, top, wrist guards, gloves, pants, leggings, boots, etc.

Liao Qingxuan looked at the things in the box and said to Ning Shu as if recalling a memory:

"The things in the box have helped me in my practice. I will give them to you today."

But Qingyi on the side seemed to have thought of something sad, and a sad expression flashed across her face.

After a pause, Liao Qingxuan continued:

"I think this item is just right for your current situation, so I found it to help you polish your foundation. It can improve your strength attribute, train your control, improve your body skills, and so on, thereby stimulating more potential in your body. Pick one and try it out first."

After hearing Master's introduction, Ning Shu immediately became interested. This set of clothing sounded like the weight-bearing clothing used for training in the past. In comparison, she wanted to know what the effect would be when she put it on.

With curiosity, Ning Shu wanted to pick up the boots at the edge, but when she touched them, she found that the boots were so heavy, like a thousand-pound boulder, that she could not lift them for a while. She thought to herself: If this pair of boots is like this, then the other things must be even heavier.

Looking at Ning Shu's flushed face, Liao Qingxuan spoke again:

"Start with the smallest item first. Once you are comfortable with it, put on another item. Continue until you have put on all the items in the box."

Seeing this, Qing Yi thought to herself: I finally see Ning Shu's normal side. She has witnessed the young lady's process of becoming stronger, and she has also seen how a genius grows up. But even so, Ning Shu still gave her a lot of shocks in the past two days. Fortunately, she has returned to normal now.

Hearing her master say this, Ning Shu quickly changed to the gloves beside her. The heavy gloves required the efforts of both hands to pick up. After putting on one with difficulty, she found that the other one was difficult to put on. After trying for a long time without success, she turned to Qingyi for help.

Seeing this, Qingyi stepped forward and helped her get dressed.

Ning Shu, who was wearing gloves on both hands, felt a huge force coming, dragging his hands down. The muscles in his body suddenly tensed up, and he repeatedly pulled between bending down and standing up.

Ning Shu used a squatting posture to relieve the weight, but the effect was minimal. During this process, her hands even came into close contact with the ground several times. As long as she was not careful, her hands would hit the ground heavily.

During this period, Qingyi did not step forward to help, but stood aside, waiting for Ning Shu to adapt on his own.

Seeing this, Liao Qingxuan knew that Ning Shu needed time to adapt, so she told Qingyi to guide her and left. These two days were rare for her in all these years; she hardly practiced at all, but devoted herself to Ning Shu. At this moment, she also had to go back to the secret room to recover and sort out everything that happened in the past two days.

Ning Shu was sweating all over at this moment. She thought to herself: These gloves are too weird. I can't even use my cultivation after putting them on. She clenched her fists and dropped them to the ground, then squatted down to rest.

Looking at Qing Yi beside her, she asked:

"Sister Qingyi, this glove is so strange, so light and thin yet very heavy. And it seals my cultivation, I can't use any strength at all."

Qing Yi was stunned for a moment, and only seemed to react when she heard Ning Shu's question, and she asked back:

"Xiao Shu, you called me?"

This made Ning Shu even more confused, and he asked:

"Yes, Sister Qingyi, what are you thinking about?"

As Ning Shu spoke, he gave Qing Yi a wicked smile and said:

"You are thinking so intently, could it be that you have chosen that brother?"

Before Ning Shu could feel proud, she was immediately tickled by Qing Yi's hands.

Unable to move, she smiled and begged for mercy:

"Sister, I was wrong."

Qingyi, who was originally lost in memories, suddenly lost her sadness after Ning Shu did this.

However, she was also hesitant about whether to tell Ning Shu the origin of the clothes.

Looking at Qingyi who fell into deep thought again, Ning Shu didn't know what had happened to Sister Qingyi, so he stopped talking.

But Qingyi soon figured it out. She felt that since the young lady looked at Ning Shu in this way, and Ning Shu was so talented, he would definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future. So after some hesitation, she decided to tell Ning Shu, because Ning Shu would definitely know about this in the future, and would definitely come into contact with the Liao family.

"Xiao Shu, don't leak out any of the words I tell you next, because this is a secret of the young lady, and I haven't asked the young lady for permission yet."

Seeing Qingyi so serious, Ning Shu nodded in response.

Seeing this, Qing Yi continued:

"In fact, the clothes you are wearing now are made of the shed skin of the mythical beast Fire Rat. The shed skin has the dual effects of gravity and sealing. It was originally obtained by the head of the Liao family on the border. After bringing it back, it was used to imprison foreigners and criminals."

"Originally, this suit had nothing to do with the young lady, but the Liao family was powerful and had many children. Although the young lady was a genius, she was a woman, so she attracted jealousy. Eventually, several people of the same generation jointly designed to seal the young lady in this suit and imprison her in a secret room, hoping to trap her to death."

"Fortunately, the young lady was born extraordinary. Although she was young, she was determined and finally escaped and killed someone of the same generation. Originally, killing one's own clan was a capital crime, but the clan leader later investigated and announced the cause, allowing the young lady to escape death. However, many people in the clan were dissatisfied with the young lady because of this. Although the young lady was the daughter of the clan leader, she still could not escape the blame. In the end, the clan leader placed the young lady in Shaozong."

"This stay will last for twenty years. Therefore, you should always wear this set of clothes to remind yourself to practice hard and not slack off. Although you are a woman, you can also choose your own life, but the prerequisite is that you must be strong enough."

After Ning Shu heard this, she was extremely shocked! She thought to herself: The young lady that Qing Yi sister was talking about must be the master. But what she didn't expect was that the master had such an unfortunate childhood and was treated like this by people of the same clan.

But how could a few kids have such means? There must be someone behind the scenes who was plotting something bad.

But Master is the daughter of the clan leader, yet she did not conduct a thorough investigation. She must have encountered some reason and had to give up the investigation.

But looking at the result of Master being placed in the sect, it seems like the result of a negotiated compromise.

Thinking of this, she felt a sense of grievance, and admired her master even more in her heart; he was able to survive the danger of life and death at a young age, and faced the injustice of fate without complaining, but immersed himself in cultivation. No wonder the master could achieve such success, no one can succeed easily.

Hearing Sister Qingyi addressing her as Miss like this, Sister Qingyi is actually Master's maid. No wonder they are not master and disciple, but Sister Qingyi has always been by Master's side.

Ning Shu's mind was already full of thoughts, analyzing every detail of what Qing Yi said. But Qing Yi did not stop, and continued:

"Xiao Shu, although this dress has been humiliating to me, it also represents my firm belief. I hope you can work hard to cultivate and don't let me down. If you achieve extraordinary success in the future, you must win honor for us women!"

After listening to this, Ning Shu nodded heavily and said:

"Sister Qingyi, don't worry, I will practice hard and not let Master down."

After saying that, Ning Shu gritted her teeth and exerted all her strength to lift her hands off the ground and straighten her bent back. There was a bright light in her eyes. It was as if she had just heard about her master's experience, which gave her special strength and made her not allow herself to bend down again.

Liao Qingxuan who left did not know that through this special pair of gloves and Qingyi's words, she passed on the most important things to this disciple; that is the spirit of facing any hardship bravely, the indomitable will to never give up, and the qualities necessary to become a strong person.

After this incident, a seed next to a small black flower in the depths of Ning Shu's Qi Sea was quietly sprouting, making the originally dark center a little bright. However, Ning Shu did not notice the changes in the Qi Sea.

Qing Yi was also relieved to see Ning Shu standing up, and continued:

"The lady has ordered that when you are able to stand steadily, she will teach you the Twelve Marrow Cleansing Techniques. Please listen and watch."

As he spoke, Qing Yi took up his stance and demonstrated to Ning Shu one step at a time:

"Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, put your hands together in front of your chest, and focus on your breathing. Make sure your breathing is deep, long, and even. Empty your mind and isolate your thoughts, and carefully feel all the changes brought about by this weight."

Ning Shu followed Qing Yi's instructions, but it was difficult for her to just put her palms together at chest level as she was holding up her body. But since it was a martial art, she could try to increase her practice speed through the strengthening techniques in the Yin-Yang Sutra.

But she was also curious and tried it. After all, this strengthening was not a direct buff, but rather amplifying the output power of the technique after it was circulated through the Qi Sea, thereby increasing the power of the technique. Therefore, it was not a strengthening out of thin air.

But reality soon slapped her in the face. This "Twelve Marrow Cleansing Styles" didn't seem to be a martial art, but a bit like Blue Star Yoga, so it couldn't be strengthened.

Then, she would only have her own strength left. However, this aroused Ning Shu's fighting spirit. When she had no other means, she would fight with her will. As an athlete, she would not give up easily.

The first time you put your palms together, put them down in less than a second. The second time, adjust your breathing, empty your body and mind, and try again. If it doesn’t work the first time, try a few more times.

The third time, the fourth time... After an hour, Ning Shu was exhausted.

After taking off the gloves, Ning Shu instantly recovered his cultivation level. He sat cross-legged on the ground and practiced breathing to recover.

Qing Yi prepared food for her. A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage could not go without food. If they wanted to fast, they had to wait until they reached the Spiritual Transformation stage, collecting energy from heaven and earth to replenish their body consumption, and then they could reach a balanced level.

A day passed quickly, and Ning Shu spent it in a cycle of exhaustion, recovery, and continuation until the moon was high in the sky. He left only after Qing Yi's persuasion.

But think about it, more haste makes waste, so she didn't dwell on it too much.

However, when leaving, Ning Shu discussed with Qingyi and left wearing gloves. When she could hold on for an hour, she would learn the second move and put on the rest of the things.

At night, Ning Shu still sat cross-legged in a bucket of medicine, feeling the comfort of the medicine nourishing her body and conducting her daily review.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by and a figure appeared, it was his master Liao Qingxuan.

Seeing this, Ning Shu immediately covered his face with a towel and said:

"Master, you are here."

Liao Qingxuan nodded and said:

"Don't be nervous. I will come every day to help you refine the medicine."

Ning Shu looked at the master in front of him, and his heart was inexplicably complicated. A complex emotion surged in his heart, and his brain got hot, so he called out "Master".

"Master!"

Liao Qingxuan responded to the call, but when she saw Ning Shu's hesitation, she asked with concern:

"what happened?"

Ning Shu's eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to ask Master, what happened when you were young? How did you get through those difficult days?

But she had promised Sister Qingyi not to tell anyone, and she didn't want her master to recall those painful memories.

Thinking of this, Ning Shu shed tears under the care and greetings of her master. These tears contained her admiration for the injustice that her master had suffered and her admiration for his resistance to fate. At the same time, she also lamented, "Why are women required to be more in this world!"

Seeing Ning Shu shed tears, Liao Qingxuan mistakenly thought that Ning Shu was crying because of the intensity of today's training, and immediately comforted her:

"Shu'er, don't cry. Cultivation cannot be forced. You must remember that the Master's arrangement is not to require you to wear the full set in a short period of time. The purpose of this arrangement is to stimulate the potential of your body. You don't have to feel sad about this. You must know that the method is to achieve the goal, and the external objects are to better assist the method. Therefore, don't be affected by it and forget your original intention."

Liao Qingxuan stretched out her hands towards the wooden barrel, and a gentle spiritual power spread throughout the entire medicinal bath. The medicinal power in the wooden barrel followed the spiritual power directly into every part of Ning Shu's body.

While helping Ning Shu refine the medicinal power, he continued to say to Ning Shu:

"Shu'er, you know that many practitioners have lost themselves on this path, and have spent their lives in confusion, forgetting their original intentions. When they see others have powerful moves, they learn their moves; when they see others have strong strength, they learn strength; when they see others have fast body movements, they learn body movements, completely forgetting whether their own situation is suitable or not."

"You are still young, so you don't have to worry about whether you can pick it up or not. Instead, you should focus on your own feelings and changes. As long as you are making progress every day, you will have avoided detours."

Ning Shu, who was still crying, knew that Master had misunderstood when she heard Master's gentle tone. But she felt very warm inside, and suddenly a question popped up in her mind, blurting out with tears in her eyes:

"Master, why are you so kind to me!"

When Liao Qingxuan heard this, she smiled and responded:

"Because of Xiaohan, because of your experience, and because you are my recognized disciple."

Xiaohan is naturally her adoptive father Zhang Mohan, and what happened is Ning Shu's real situation.

Hearing Master's response, Ning Shu opened up completely. She felt that when Sister Qingyi was around, she still had some restraints, but when she was alone with Master, she had no restraints at all. She asked again:

"Master, I heard from Sister Qingyi that I am your third disciple. What about the first two sisters?"

When Liao Qingxuan heard Ning Shu ask this, she replied indifferently:

"The first two are just nominal disciples. To be honest, I have only met them a few times and now I have forgotten what they look like. Strictly speaking, Qingyi is their master, and you are my first direct disciple."

Ning Shu felt that since the conversation had already started, he might as well try to ask about his master's childhood, so he asked again:

"Then Master, have you ever had a particularly painful time? How did you get through it?"

After hearing this, Liao Qingxuan seemed to be lost in memories:

"Of course there were times when it was particularly painful, but I was lucky enough to encounter a ray of light, a light that could shine into my heart."

When Ning Shu heard Master's words at this moment, she suddenly remembered that when she was on Blue Star, every time her best friend met a handsome guy, she would say: Handsome guy so-and-so is like a ray of light shining into her heart.

This must be an illusion! How could a man be worthy of Master?

But she didn't intend to go deeper into this issue. She had sworn in her previous life that she would never ask, participate in, or give advice to anyone on any emotional issues!

But at this moment, she still said the most real and most wanted words in her heart:

“Master, you and my father are the light in my heart. They shine into my heart and give me strength.”

However, what Ning Shu didn't notice was that Liao Qingxuan actually blushed slightly after hearing her words.
