Chapter 201: Life and Death Talisman, Lu Jianxing

They practiced the same martial arts, so it was easy for them to develop a special connection with each other.

Yao Yue even immediately realized Jiang Yuyan's current strength and realm.

To her surprise, Jiang Yuyan's martial arts should have absorbed the skills of Hua Nu and Hua Wuque.

But now, she is much stronger than both of them.

Kung Fu is not simply accumulated, but has an upper limit. Even if you absorb a few more innate realm warriors, you cannot easily break through to the grandmaster level simply by relying on the accumulation of quantity.

Yao Yue was very clear about this.

But now, Jiang Yuyan's skills are at the peak of the innate realm. She is only one step away from breaking through the window paper and becoming a master.

This surprised Yao Yue very much.

This shows that after experiencing the shortcut of absorbing other people's internal energy to improve like a rocket, Jiang Yuyan was still able to calm down and persist in practicing, and achieved improvement again through her own efforts.

Yao Yue's hatred for Jiang Yuyan, which she had felt because Hua Wuque died at her hands, has now weakened a little.

Instead, there was a look of great interest.

What's more, Jiang Yuyan is quite beautiful. Her gentle features are coupled with a bit of stubbornness that refuses to admit defeat, which makes Yaoyue feel somewhat favorable towards her.

Since you are no match for Li Ming and hard tactics don't work, why not consider soft tactics?
This thought popped up in Yao Yue's mind.

The technique of grafting flowers and trees that she coveted was also in Jiang Yuyan's possession.

If they could find a way to get Jiang Yuyan to leave Qianming Martial Arts School and directly join their Yihua Palace, wouldn't they be able to achieve their goal?

At that time, not only will we be able to obtain the art of grafting, but Yihua Palace will also have a good disciple. Who knows, we can focus on training her and have her take over Yihua Palace in the future?

When this thought came to her mind, Yao Yue herself was shocked.

She was thinking too far ahead and was also surprised why she had a good impression of Jiang Yuyan, whom she had only met once.

Is it a problem with the martial arts techniques?

But come to think of it, Yihua Palace seems to really lack a disciple who can take on the responsibility.

Before, Hua Wuque was both talented and strong, but Yao Yue didn’t take him too seriously.

Because he is a man, an outlier in Yihua Palace, Yao Yue trained him only to use him as a tool for revenge, so her feelings for him are relatively weak.

When learning the news of Hua Wuque's death, the person who was the saddest was Deputy Palace Master Lian Xing, while Yao Yue felt average.

In the blink of an eye, Yao Yue's mind raced. He looked at Jiang Yuyan deeply, said nothing, then walked out.

Several seniors passed by him one after another, and Jiang Yuyan stepped aside.

Judging from her expression, she seemed to be worried.

As soon as he walked outside, Master Kongjian stopped, clasped his hands together, and greeted a figure waiting outside.

"Master Xuancheng, are you doing well here?"

The one waiting outside was Xuan Cheng.

"Uncle Kongjian, why are you..."

When Xuan Cheng heard that someone from Shaolin Temple came to visit, he hurried to meet him, but he did not expect that it was the great monk Kongjian who had been in seclusion for many years.

To be honest, Kongjian retired too early, and even Xuancheng only saw him when he was very young, so his impression of him was a bit vague.

Kong Jian looked Xuan Cheng up and down, and soon a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Junior Brother Xuancheng, not bad, not bad. Not only have you improved your martial arts, but your Buddhist practice is also much stronger than before. This will be of great benefit to your future martial arts!"

Kongjian's praise came from the heart.

Although he had been in seclusion for a long time before, he still paid close attention to this talented younger generation of Shaolin and had a general understanding of Xuan Cheng's situation.

Xuan Cheng is good in all aspects and is a martial arts genius, but his only shortcoming is that he is too obsessed with martial arts.

Shaolin martial arts has its own unique features. Martial arts and Buddhist practice complement each other. If you only focus on one point, you will lose balance sooner or later.

In the mildest case, the progress will be hindered and it will be impossible to improve for a long time. In the worst case, one will go astray and suffer hidden injuries like Xiao Yuanshan, which may be life-threatening.

Xuan Cheng is a martial arts fanatic who has a great understanding of the 72 unique skills, so much so that many seniors in Shaolin are worried about him in this aspect.

But after spending some time in the martial arts gym, Xuan Cheng's state of mind has become much calmer than before, and his understanding of martial arts has also made great progress. He is no longer obsessed with the bravery and aggressive aspects of martial arts as before.

Master Kongjian felt this very clearly, so he began to praise Xuancheng.

Xuan Cheng was slightly stunned by the praise from the monk Kongjian, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that during the time he was in the martial arts gym, he was no longer as obsessed with martial arts as before.

It may be that he felt a completely different atmosphere in the martial arts hall, or it may be that after joining the Martial Arts Hall, he discovered a greater meaning than just practicing martial arts on his own.

Although Xuan Cheng's martial arts training speed is not as fast as before in Shaolin, his obsession has been resolved unknowingly and his state of mind has become more peaceful.

In addition, the martial arts that Li Ming taught him were all top-notch, and he also gained a lot from discussing martial arts with Zhou Botong and others in the martial arts hall. He no longer had to practice step by step as before, but had a deeper understanding.

Therefore, without realizing it, Xuan Cheng's strength has improved significantly.

It was only when Kong Jian reminded him at this time that he realized it.

"It seems that following Master Li in the martial arts hall is a rare opportunity for you. Keep working hard."

Kong Jian comforted Xuan Cheng and left with Mu Dao Ren without saying much to him.

Yao Yue Lianxing and others followed behind.

Xuan Cheng seemed to understand something. He looked at Master Kong Jian's departing back and saluted with his hands clasped together.

Soon, as they left, the martial arts hall returned to its normal state.

Li Ming didn't send him too far and turned back.

"Boy, where is the place you arranged for me to live? Let me be clear, I am giving you enough face by letting you stay here, so I want to be a neighbor of Junior Brother Wuyazi."

The Child-Fairy of Tianshan was still sitting in the hall. Her feet could not reach the ground, so she swung back and forth and spoke to Li Ming.

Upon hearing what Tianshan Tonglao said, Li Qiushui beside her also spoke in a sinister tone.

"In that case, I have the same request. Since you are the head of our sect, you must act impartially towards us."

Li Ming looked at the two great gods and was speechless for a moment.

"Look at them, do they think of themselves as the door?"

However, Li Ming remained polite on the surface.

After all, he had gained a lot of benefits on the way back.

The Child-like Grandma of Tianshan taught herself the Life and Death Talisman and the Tianshan Six Yang Palm, and Li Qiushui also taught her several top martial arts.

It's a good thing to be grateful for someone's kindness. This is just a small request, and there is no problem with it.

Li Ming immediately ordered the disciples of the External Affairs Hall to prepare accommodation for the two seniors.

Knowing that these masters like quietness, Li Ming arranged for them to live in the deepest part of the martial arts hall. It was very secluded and even the core disciples would not go near it if they had nothing to do.

After the arrangements were made, Li Ming was still thinking.

I guess no one can guess how many masters are hidden in his own martial arts school!
If I say I'm going, I'm sure a lot of people will be scared...

Only after he finally settled the two great gods did Li Ming have some free time.

While thinking about what happened that day, he turned around and saw Jiang Yuyan.

Now she is the only disciple following him.

After Lin Pingzhi came back, he was busy classifying the books on Xiaoyao Qixue that he had brought back, and learning what they said.

Lin Pingzhi was particularly interested in the use of poison. He absorbed the Xiaoyao Sect's methods of using poison and verified them with what he had learned from the Five Poisons Secret.

Yang Guo was even busier. Not only did he take time to study the contents of Xiaoyao Qixue, but he also spent most of his time practicing diligently every day.

It seemed that the fact that Mo Xiaobei had broken through to the Grandmaster level was a big stimulus to Yang Guo, which made him feel frustrated and he wanted to catch up.

The least common one was Mo Xiaobei. After she reached the Grandmaster level, she wanted to play for a while longer to reward herself.

However, Mo Xiaobei did not sit idle. The Five Mountains Sword Sect had been growing stronger recently, and new disciples were constantly being sent to the Seven Heroes Town for further training.

And all the sects wanted to increase their strength and applied for funding from Mo Xiaobei...

All sorts of things made Mo Xiaobei feel upset from time to time.

Fortunately, the resources obtained from Songshan Sect last time can be squandered for a while.

Only Jiang Yuyan was fine.

Seeing her worried look, it seems that she has been practicing to break through the bottleneck recently and is not very active.

"Yuyan, have you been hiding something from me recently?"

"what?"

Hearing Li Ming's question, Jiang Yuyan looked up in surprise and blurted out.

"Master, how do you know?"

Li Ming was speechless, thinking that Jiang Yuyan's thoughts were almost written directly on her face, it would be strange if he couldn't see it.

Seeing that Li Ming did not answer, Jiang Yuyan lowered her head, pinched the corner of her clothes with both hands, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"I dare not lie to Master. In fact, my biological father has sent people to contact me many times recently. I am troubled by this matter, so I am uneasy."

"Oh?"

Li Ming had received intelligence before and actually knew what was going on.

But he still pretended that he had just learned about it.

"What does the hero Jiang Biehe say?"

"My father said that he had noticed my recent performance in the martial arts world and was proud to have a daughter like me, but at the same time he felt ashamed of my mother and me."

"He has been busy lately and it is not convenient for him to come to see me, so he wants to invite me to his house to talk about the father-daughter relationship."

Jiang Yuyan said truthfully.

Li Ming did not comment: "So what do you mean?"

Jiang Yuyan didn't answer immediately, but bit her lip and frowned.

Li Ming probably understood her mentality.

If Jiang Biehe had made such a statement in the past, Jiang Yuyan would have been ecstatic and excited that her father finally recognized her.

But Jiang Yuyan's mind and way of thinking are now very different from before.

On the one hand, she regarded the martial arts school as her home and did not want to leave easily.

On the other hand, after experiencing the incident with Hua Wuque last time, Jiang Yuyan keenly realized that her father Jiang Biehe seemed not that simple and not that pure towards her.

Although she didn't know the inside story, the smart Jiang Yuyan still keenly smelled a hint of danger.

When he was homeless, Jiang Biehe didn't think about them at all. Now that Jiang Yuyan has become famous in the world, Jiang Biehe is here to talk about feelings.

This is a bit unusual no matter how you look at it.

After a long time, Jiang Yuyan looked up and said.

"Master saved Yuyan and taught her martial arts. I have no way to repay you for your kindness. Yuyan is a member of the martial arts school in life and a ghost of the martial arts school in death. Even if my father recognizes me, Yuyan does not want to leave the martial arts school."

Jiang Yuyan's words were so firm that Li Ming couldn't help but nod.

"Okay, then come with me."

Li Ming nodded to Jiang Yuyan.

Where is Master taking me?
Jiang Yuyan was stunned, then followed Li Ming, muttering to herself.

Soon, Li Ming took Jiang Yuyan out of the martial arts hall and came to an inconspicuous place outside Qixia Town.

Jiang Yuyan looked at the quiet environment around her and wondered why her master brought her here when everything was going well for her.

Soon, the master and disciple arrived at the main entrance.

Li Ming stopped and waved his hand.

call!
The powerful true energy formed a strong wind that directly hit the main door in front of him.

The wooden door seemed to have been hit hard and was slammed open with a loud bang.

At the same time, several people who were sitting together discussing something stood up like frightened birds.

"what's the situation!"

They were startled by the noise, looked outside, and recognized Li Ming and Jiang Yuyan.

After seeing the people in front of her clearly, Jiang Yuyan was also stunned.

These people were the ones who had come to see her before in the name of Jiang Biehe.

Jiang Yuyan originally thought that they had delivered the message and left Qixia Town, so why were they hiding here?

But the faces of several people in the room had changed. They didn't dare to have the slightest thought of confronting Li Ming and tried to run away by using their lightness skills.

But within a moment, several people screamed one after another, and fell back to the ground with a thump.

Before they could get up, Li Ming released several streams of true energy, blocking their meridians.

Several people were paralyzed immediately.

Li Ming brought Jiang Yuyan in and sat at the table.

After looking at Jiang Yuyan, Li Ming asked them.

"Who are you and who sent you?"

"We are the followers of Hero Jiang. Hero Jiang misses his daughter very much, so he asked us to find Miss Yuyan to pass on a message."

"Yes, yes, we are really not bad people. Is there any misunderstanding here?"

Li Ming nodded, then picked up the teapot on the table and poured some water into his palm.

The true energy rose, and in a moment, the tea condensed into a thin piece of ice.

Li Ming flicked his fingers and the ice cube hit the acupoints of the person in front of him.

The ice immediately melted.

But a mysterious force sank into the other person's body.

It is the talisman of life and death.

The next second, his face suddenly changed and he lay on the ground twisted in pain.

"Ah! It's so itchy and painful, Master Li, please spare me!"

The people nearby were shocked when they saw this, and fear appeared in their eyes.

"I'll give you one last chance. Tell me the truth. Who sent you here? What's your purpose?"

"I say, I say, I only ask Master Li to let these brothers of mine go."

One person mustered up the courage to speak to Li Ming.

"I'm Lu Jianxing, and I'm a Jinyiwei from the Northern Pacification Division of the imperial court. We were sent here by Liu Xi, the governor of the East Factory!"

Li Ming paused and looked at him.

"Are you Lu Jianxing?"
