Son-in-law [Cultivator]

Holding Ming Yan who only took half a cup of tea time from pretending to sleep to falling asleep, Jiang You didn't sleep all night.

In the middle of the night, a light rain fell outside the house, and it fell on the banana leaves, pattering, as if falling into the bottom of Jiang You's heart.

But when the sun rose the next day, Jiang You had perfectly hidden the subtle and weird throbbing of last night in his heart.After having breakfast with Ming Yan, he started his second retreat at Ming's house.

In order to cultivate the soft water sword intent, he stayed in the foundation building period for three years, which can be said to have completely stabilized the foundation.Even if he jumped into the late stage of consecration the day before yesterday, there was no sign of unstable realm.

Jiang You sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes and looked inside at the thirty strands of white mist.

All the white mist was completely sealed in his dantian, and he could clearly feel that the dantai was salivating for it, and he was very eager for Jiang You to refine and integrate it.

What exactly is this?

Jiang You used Jing Yuan to gently wrap a trace of white mist in it, and force it out of his palm along the meridians.Under the background of the palm, the naked eye can see that the appearance of this thing is still as ethereal as a white mist.As time goes by, it gradually disappears into the air.

Then there is no then.

Jiang You waited for a while, as if he suddenly thought of something, he quickly took out more than a dozen low-grade spirit stones and set up a simple spirit-gathering array—as expected, he absorbed nearly double the amount of spiritual energy in the formation than usual!

So... this white mist is actually the compressed form of a lot of aura?

It's just that the spiritual energy that can attach to the spiritual consciousness is really unheard of.

After initially determining the purpose of this white mist, Jiang You began to refine the remaining 29 strands of white mist.

Previously, after Ming Fengyu learned of his advanced consecration, he said that the Ming family's five-year-old Xiaobi would start again in early July.There are still four months to go, in order to face Xiaobi, Jiang You decided to refine ten strands of white mist every month, and keep practicing step by step.

Therefore, every month from now on, Jiang You will go out with Ming Yan for five days, refine the elixir in the room for seven days to absorb the white mist, and practice the meaning of soft water in the water for the remaining eighteen days.

During the advanced consecration, Jiang You had a new understanding of the meaning of soft water, so the method of cultivation at this time was also different from the usual one - no longer immersing the body in different waters and wielding the sword to practice the sword, but Release the meaning of soft water, merge with the whole small lake, and use spiritual consciousness to distinguish everything in the water along the water flow: no matter whether it is living things, dust or soil, it is in every detail.

At this time, Jiang You's attention is usually on tempering the soft water, whether it is breathing or heartbeat, it becomes extremely slow.

Xu Shi was a little hazy across the water, Jiang You's eyebrows became more and more handsome, especially against his long black hair scattered in the water, he looked like a breathtaking demon.

In fact, it is more like playing than practicing.

——At least in Ming Yan's eyes.

During the days when Jiang You practiced like this, Ming Yan sat and stared at the people in the water bewilderedly.

How beautiful, he thought.It would be great if my brother could play with him.

Of course Ming Yan was just thinking about it.He knew that he was "sick" and that it was very important to Jiang You, so he sat with his knees under the tree by the lake and stared at it all day long.

He had never wished so much that he was not sick.

Time flies by, and the river tour in April is not mediocre.In addition to refining all the white mist and steadily entering the middle stage of consecration, he has a little insight.

Each body of water has its own unique survival system.Whether it is the flow direction of the water, the distribution of impurities, spiritual energy and other substances in the water, or the living conditions of the living things in the water, each has small differences.

One day there was a thunderstorm, with lightning and thunder, and rain poured down.Large and large drops of rain fell rapidly from the sky, slapping heavily on the lake in a chaotic manner, causing countless splashes.

Jiang You felt that his soft water and the whole lake shook at the same time at a certain moment, and he suddenly entered a mysterious state - he seemed to be no longer a person, but felt like a person in the lake Drops of water, formless and matterless, flowed in all directions, and then were hit by the falling thunderstorm, torn apart in mid-air.

But the next moment Jiang You pulled away from this feeling.He suddenly surfaced, and the thunderstorm hit his face hard, as if trying to wake him up.

Just after this day, Jiang You found that he could perfectly control Roushui Sword Intent.There is no longer any sword intent disappearing and collapsing between sword moves, and even the energy required for operation has been reduced by nearly half!

This is a good beginning.

At least it's all going in the best direction.

At the beginning of July, Xiao Bi from the Ming family arrived as scheduled.

The small competition is held every five years, and as of today the rules have all been perfected.It includes not indiscriminately hurting people, not using prohibited drugs, etc., and giving the winners of each group the opportunity to enter the treasure house of the Ming family to choose something at will.

As we all know, the Ming family has been passed down for nearly 2000 years, and many treasures have been collected in the treasure house.Although no spiritual artifacts were seen, at least forty top-grade magical artifacts and twenty precious artifacts were preserved; even a few rare herbs needed by Golden Core monks were stored in them.

Of course, this is just a rumor to attract applicants.In fact, no matter which group the winners received, the rewards they received were all practical and practical things.

In addition, the Ming family will provide corresponding resources to focus on cultivating those who perform better among the small competitions, which is one of the reasons why the Ming family has been lonely but has not fallen.

Every time there is a small competition, all the monks who refine and transform Qi will enthusiastically sign up.Take this time as an example, as of the registration time, there were a total of 43 contestants in the foundation stage, and 26 in the consecration stage, and the number of people in the upper realm became more and more sparse. Even the fusion realm could not gather ten people, and it was impossible to compete in groups.

Seeing the leopard in the tube, this is also the current situation in the entire cultivation world.

Take Xiao Yuanzhou as an example, monks in the Fusion Realm are already enshrined by many small forces.Too many monks have spent their entire lives failing to build a foundation. Even if they were lucky enough to build a foundation when they were old, they would just die of old age by this door, never being able to further pry into the mysteries of cultivation.

In this way, Jiang You is undoubtedly a very lucky person.Whether he entered Daiming's sect with the aptitude of the three spiritual roots, or built a foundation because of comprehending the inheritance of Roushui, he stood out from the crowd of low-level mediocre monks and had a bright future.

——After all, in the world of comprehension, luck is an indispensable part of strength.

Jiang You's cultivation was quite satisfactory in the group.Because there are five contestants who have entered the late stage of consecration, but they are all in their fifties.The oldest one is almost a hundred years old.

The general lifespan of a cultivator in the refined Qi realm is 50 years, but if he fails to enter the integration period before the age of [-], it is basically certain that he will miss the next stage.These five are the guards of the Ming family, and they have absolutely no ambition to compete for the championship. At most, they will try their best to fight for the top three to win some resources. Of course, it would be even better if they can be valued and cultivated for this reason.

Jiang You glanced over the names of the monks, and finally stopped on the two characters.

Ming Yang.

Ming Yangxiu is more than eight feet tall, less than half a head taller than Jiang You, but his body is muscular and his physique is extremely strong.The rumored No.1 of the younger generation of the Ming family has been secretly competing with him for the past few months. Three days after learning that he has entered the consecrated state, he has also become a consecrated monk. It was found that it was a mid-term consecration practice.

Now, he was standing on the other side of the ring with his arms crossed, facing Jiang You far away.

How interesting.Thinking of this, Jiang You met his gaze, nodded and smiled.Then I saw Ming Yang curled his lips into a sneering smile, then pointed to Jiang You, and gave a thumbs down.

Still a familiar temper, or a familiar IQ.

Jiang You ignored him and turned to watch the monks' match on the field.

During this period, the Ming family was always extra tolerant.

The arena is set in the Ming family's special martial arts arena. The venue is very spacious. In addition to the specially built arena in the center, it can also accommodate thousands of onlookers.Anyone in the city who wants to watch the game can enter to watch the game by handing in a low-grade spirit stone.

Three days before the start of the game, a gambling game was set up.In addition to guessing how many contestants will win in the end, odds are set before the start of each game, which perfectly mobilizes the emotions of the monks in the entire Yongming City.

This is the preliminary round of the foundation building group, and one of the contestants is Ming Jin.

Jiang You remembered that both Ming Jin and Ming Youxin were cultivated in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.This time Ming Yan did not participate in the competition, and the rest of the collateral contestants were all at the early stage of foundation establishment, and it was presumed that the winner would be between these two.

This is actually a fact that everyone knows.Therefore, [-]% of the monks in the city guessed that the final battle would be between Ming Youxin and Ming Jin.The odds of Ming Xiaoxin and Ming Jin set up by the gambling house are also buy two and pay three.

However, in the past, outsiders did not have a good eye to win over the family members, and made a lot of money for the gambling house.

Both of them were dressed in strong attire, each standing at one end of the ring.After bowing to the other party, Ming Jin made a gesture and said, "Please."

It's a gentleman.

Hearing the cheers from the crowd, Jiang You glanced away, only to find that many congenital female monks were staring at Ming Jin with burning eyes, and the girl's admiration for Ai was vivid in his eyes.

The cultivator on the opposite side was grateful for Ming Jin's concession, and used all his strength to attack with his sword.However, due to the limitation of his cultivation, he was finally suppressed by Ming Jin and beat him for a while, and he fell off the ring and lost.

Sure enough, there was a lot of cheers from the crowd.This time, Jiang You heard a small "hum" from Mingyan next to him, and said, "My brother Jiang You is much better than him!"

Jiang You laughed.

After watching a few more games, it was noon.

Ming Yan was a little hungry, took Jiang You's hand, and took a shortcut back to the courtyard.So Jiang You saw that at the corner ahead, in a grassy path leading to the side door, someone hurried past, whose figure looked like Ming and Jin.

He still has a match in the afternoon, and the opponent seems to be a late-stage foundation-establishment monk, so instead of recharging his energy, what are you doing sneaking out?

This thought rolled around in Jiang You's heart, but he didn't take it to heart.

Ming Yan looked back at him: "Brother?"

Jiang You smiled: "It's okay, let's go."

Ignoring this small episode, the Xiaobi of the Foundation Establishment Group came to an end on the afternoon of the third day.As expected, the winner was indeed a competition between Ming Youxin and Ming Jin.

Jiang You figured out the strength of the two of them, and finally bet a high-grade spirit stone on Ming Jin.Sure enough, after the competition, Jiang You won a top-grade spirit stone and 50 yuan middle-grade spirit stone.

After buying candied haws and his favorite pastries for Ming Yan, and buying some herbs for the rest, Jiang You felt indescribably leisurely and happy.When facing Ming Yan, he couldn't help rubbing his head a few more times.

On the fourth day, the consecration group competition began.

Jiang You was not lucky. The opponent he drew the day before yesterday was a late consecrated monk named Wang Feng, who was ranked second in the morning.Last night, the casino released the odds for this round - Wang Feng's odds were buy two and lose three, and Jiang You's odds were buy one and lose three.

Although Jiang You is the son-in-law of the direct line, everyone in the city can see that the Ming family is now a collateral line controlling the power.In this case, it doesn't matter whether you give face to the direct line or not, and the opponent is still a monk in the late stage of consecration, so even if he wins Jiang You, it is a matter of course.So all of a sudden, people bet one after another, most of them bet on Wang Feng.

Ming Yan understood the meaning of the odds, and angrily threw all the large boxes of spirit herbs and spirit stones that he had privately kept in front of the dealer, and said aggressively: "I'll bet on these, buy Jiangyou and win!"

Wait until the other party confirms Ming Yan's identity in fear, and then invites an appraiser to determine the value of these things: If Jiang You loses, the Ming family's direct descendants may come to make trouble, and finally persuade Ming Yan to take back all the elixir. Only five high-grade spirit stones were bet.

As soon as Ming Yan left, the gambling house would spread the word about it.

——Someone bet five high-grade spirit stones on Jiang You!That's right, the other party has a lot of money! !Want to make money quickly! ! !

In just half an hour, countless people flocked to the casino, and for the sake of these five high-grade spirit stones, they bet on Wang Feng one after another.As the saying goes, there are many people and strength is great. When the competition started, the bet on Wang Feng was actually 23 high-grade spirit stones!

One must know that even in the finals of the Foundation Establishment Group, the combined bets on Ming Youxin and Ming Jin are nothing more than that.

Everyone in the casino burst into laughter, looking forward to winning a lot of money after the game.
