Qiao Rui sat cross-legged with his legs crossed, his chest tucked in, his back straightened, his shoulders level, his tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth, his eyebrows half closed, a masculine energy in his chest slowly running along specific acupuncture points, each time it made a circle, it grew stronger...

After the 49th cycle, Qiao Rui let out a long breath, then slowly opened his eyes with a look of joy on his face.

The Shaolin Nine Yang Gong is indeed worthy of its reputation. Compared with the breadth and inclusiveness of the Emei Nine Yang Gong, the Shaolin Nine Yang Gong tends to be more advanced and profound. It is mysterious and profound with a high threshold, but the upper limit of growth is also high. Once you get started, Qiao Rui's internal strength will be improved to a higher speed.

He has extraordinary talent and with the help of elixirs, he can cultivate his internal strength faster than ordinary people. Now he is practicing the Shaolin Nine Yang Gong which suits him very well, which is icing on the cake. I believe he will soon be able to enter the ranks of the first-class middle-level.

When he first entered the first-class level in Medicine King Valley, it was only half a year ago, but his internal strength has already taken a small step forward. Such a leap-forward improvement would be unbelievable if he told others about it.

Facing the rising sun, Qiao Rui jumped down from the cliff of Foguangling. This was a cliff he accidentally discovered in Shaoshi Mountain. It was so high and steep, with rugged rocks, and it was deserted with few birds and animals and no people.

When the sun first rose, the place was shining with golden light, as if the Buddha's light was shining everywhere. Since it faced the sun the most, Qiao Rui named it Buddha Light Ridge. He would sit in meditation and practice his inner strength here every morning, absorbing and exhaling the first ray of yang energy between heaven and earth.

Qiao Rui's internal strength was initially built on the Shaolin elementary internal strength, and later by chance he learned the Emei Nine Yang Gong. This skill is highly compatible, and it integrates and supports each other with the Shaolin internal strength. Now he has also cultivated the Shaolin Nine Yang Gong. These three internal strengths have a deep origin and can be regarded as having the same root. With the help of a ray of pure yang from the rising sun every day, the three internal forces in his body gradually merged to form a new and powerful masculine energy. Qiao Rui could not help but let out a long roar, the sound was mighty and lingering.

After the long roar, Qiao Rui suppressed his excitement, calmed his mind, and slowly practiced the Prajna Vajra Palm. This palm technique is a top-level martial art that ranks relatively high among the 72 Shaolin unique skills. It is powerful and mysterious, with ancient and obscure moves, and mysterious and unpredictable. It cannot be practiced without extremely high comprehension, otherwise one will go astray and suffer damage to the meridians.

Fortunately, Qiao Rui has an excellent comprehension and is only one step away from having perfect talent. It is not difficult to get started. In just a few days, he has already reached the level of having a glimpse of the basics. From then on, he only needs to practice diligently and he will surely gain something.

After practicing the Prajna Vajra Palm, he practiced the Arhat Breaking Precepts Sword. Although it was a pity that he did not get the Burning Wood Sword Technique, a real man has things he should do and things he should not do. How could he put his friend in a dilemma because of his own selfishness? He secretly made up his mind that not only should he not interfere with Zhuo Yifei's decision, but he should also find a reason to go down the mountain to help them as soon as possible.

At that time, the abbot wanted him to go and recruit Zhuo Yifei. Qiao Rui had thought about going down the mountain. This would allow him to secretly remind Zhuo Yifei and others to prevent danger without disobeying his master. He could also get the Burning Wood Sword Technique in advance. This was a three-pronged approach. However, he refused because Old Monk Wuwang had always been good to him. He did not want to deceive this senior monk. He agreed to recruit Zhuo Yifei, but in fact he was reminding them to run away.

Qiao Rui really despised people who behaved like this. If he wanted to use the Burning Wood Knife Technique, he should have done it in an upright way. Why resort to such despicable means?

Now, it's time to go down the mountain. I have already mastered the two new top martial arts. All that's left is to practice hard day by day. There is little point in staying on the mountain now.

After practicing for a while, Qiao Rui returned to the fourth courtyard at lunch time.

There is a separate dining hall in the fourth courtyard, and the food is more refined. There are no longer long tables with large pots of food, but small square tables. Brothers who are on good terms with each other will eat together in groups of three or four.

Qiao Rui arrived a little later, and quite a few people were already sitting inside. When they saw him come in, the originally noisy and bustling dining hall seemed to have been paused. The fellow disciples who were just eating or talking paused in unison, staring at Qiao Rui blankly. After a few breaths, they all looked in another direction at the same time, and then returned to normal, except that the noises of eating and talking became much quieter.

Something is wrong, quite wrong.

Of course Qiao Rui also noticed the strange atmosphere in the dining hall. He followed the gaze of the crowd and looked at the table by the window. A young man about thirty years old was sitting at the table. He was eating with his head down. There was nothing unusual about him, but he was tall and thin with a straight figure. His profile was fair and handsome. He looked unfamiliar, as if he was new.

Qiao Rui glanced at him for a few seconds and then ignored him. He got his meal and walked straight to Yan Kuan and sat down.

"You've been running to the mountains in a mysterious manner lately. You haven't even done your merit point tasks and you're always late for meals. Have you learned any new martial arts?" Yan Kuan whispered to Qiao Rui while eating.

The Fourth Courtyard is different from the Third Courtyard in that it does not have a fixed place for training, nor do they train together. Some Fourth Courtyard disciples have more or less begun to learn advanced or top-level martial arts. This is a very private matter, and most people will go to a place in the nearby woods to practice alone to avoid being disturbed or eavesdropped on. That's why Yan Kuan asked this question.

Qiao Rui chuckled, which was considered as his agreement.

Seeing that his guess was correct, Yan Kuan's eyes lit up and he said eagerly, "It's been a while since we've sparred. Let's have a sparring match after dinner. Let me see your new martial arts skills."

Qiao Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly. This guy was obsessed with martial arts. For him, sparring with him was like a gourmet tasting delicious food.

Ignoring Yan Kuan's request for a sparring match, Qiao Rui quickly glanced around and saw some people still stealing glances at him, so he asked Yan Kuan, "Has anything happened in the Fourth Courtyard recently? Why are everyone acting so weird?"

"It's nothing serious!" Yan Kuan replied nonchalantly. It was really boring that Qiao Rui didn't spar with him. He took two bites of food, suddenly slapped his forehead, and said casually: "Senior Brother Chu is back."

"Senior Brother Chu?" Qiao Rui muttered and turned to look at the tall and slender young man.

Yan Kuan followed Qiao Rui's gaze and saw the handsome young man sitting alone at the table. He nodded and said, "It's him, Senior Brother Chu Tianfeng, the second direct disciple of Senior Uncle Wu Se from the Discipline Academy!"

Seeing that Qiao Rui still didn't understand the strange reactions of the crowd, he explained, "Senior Brother Chu has a close relationship with Ma Wencai. You injured Ma Wencai and made him lose face. He will definitely make trouble for you. In addition, it is said in the martial arts world that you will replace him and become the number one lay disciple of Shaolin. Therefore, when Senior Brother Chu comes back, everyone wants to know how he will react and how he will deal with you. They are just waiting to see the fun."

"Hmph, boring!" Qiao Rui snorted coldly, feeling a little unhappy. He was being treated like a monkey.

The atmosphere in the dining hall was quiet yet oppressive, with only the sound of people chewing their food silently and a few people talking in deliberately low voices.

Chu Tianfeng did not react at all until he finished his lunch and left the dining hall. He did not even look in Qiao Rui's direction, which disappointed the crowd who were eager to watch the fun.

In the afternoon, Qiao Rui first went to the Sutra Library to return the two secret books, then went to the Reception Hall to receive a task to go out and look for rare medicine for the Medicine King Hall, and then went back to the meditation room to pack up his things, as he was about to go down the mountain.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Just then, there was a knock on the door...
