Chapter 64: Entering Grandmaster, Shangguan Yundun

So fast?
Li Ming was quite surprised. He thought it would take at least several days before he could get any feedback. He didn't expect that Li Mochou had suffered internal injuries after only one day of practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra.

This shows that this Red Snake Fairy has good aptitude and her sect's martial arts foundation is solid.

Li Ming looked at the profits.

The Secret of the Five Poisons

This is Li Mochou's unique secret book, which records the two unique skills that Li Mochou is proud of - the practice of Ice Soul Silver Needle and Red Snake Divine Palm, as well as the method of removing poison.

The reason why the Red Snake Fairy is difficult to deal with is largely due to the secret of the Five Poisons.

The Bingpo Silver Needle is extremely thin, but it has hollow patterns on the needle body, which is extremely delicate.

The entire surface is silver-white, which makes it semi-invisible when launched, making it hard to defend against.

But once it comes into contact with the skin, even if it slightly touches the skin, the poison will enter the body, which is extremely overbearing.

Li Ming remembered that in the original novel, Yang Guo just reached out and touched it, and he was poisoned. One of his arms turned black and he almost lost his life.

This shows how toxic and overbearing it is.

If this kind of poison needle can be assisted by certain hidden weapon techniques, its power will be further enhanced.

The previous selling price of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra was exchanged for 3,000 attribute points, and with this reward, it is another considerable income.

Combined with the remaining attribute points in his hand, he should be very close to reaching the Grandmaster level.

Moreover, although Li Mochou practiced the Jade Girl Heart Sutra improperly and suffered internal injuries, she will definitely not give up. She will continue to study and make mistakes, and she will continue to earn attribute points.

Early the next morning.

Mo Xiaobei walked into Qianming Martial Arts School cautiously.

Some diligent disciples were already practicing their martial arts in the courtyard and did not see Li Ming.

Mo Xiaobei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and turned his head to make a gesture to Qiu Xiaodong, the little follower following behind him.

The two of them tiptoed inside.

But after just a few steps, Mo Xiaobei felt a sudden pain in his ear and was grabbed by Li Ming.

"Oh my, Master, I was wrong. I know I was wrong."

Mo Xiaobei quickly begged for mercy.

"Hey, you still know how to come, what's wrong?"

"I shouldn't neglect my studies, nor should I indulge in play these past two days."

Before Mo Xiaobei could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qiu Xiaodong.

Qiu Xiaodong, with Li Ming's support, looked disgusted and seemed to want to draw a clear line between himself and Mo Xiaobei.

"I reported that the senior sister forced me to help her sell the Jianghu Monthly. She also exaggerated your deeds and told stories in the inn to make a profit."

It can be seen that Qiu Xiaodong has been bullied by Mo Xiaobei a lot in the past two days, so he took the opportunity to complain.

"Qiu Xiaodong, you are disloyal!"

Mo Xiaobei pointed at him and wanted to threaten him, but he felt pain in his ear and immediately put on a pitiful look.

While rolling his eyes, he explained to Li Ming.

"Master, listen to me. I did this for a reason, and that reason is... yes! It's for you, Master!"

Mo Xiaobei seemed to have found the direction and spoke incessantly.

"Master, you are indeed very powerful, but you are usually too low-key, which has caused many people outside to question your achievements. I do this to help you become famous and let more people know our strength. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? Not only can it help our martial arts school to attract business, but it can also help you save a lot of trouble."

Mo Xiaobei's words seemed a bit like flattery, which reminded Li Ming of the Xingxiu Sect, which was famous for its flattery.

With Mo Xiaobei's brain, if he were thrown under the old immortal seat of Xingxiu, he would probably be able to do well.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Come here first. I'll test your martial arts progress."

Li Ming didn't really lose his temper with Mo Xiaobei.

Even though he didn't come to the martial arts gym for the past two days, he could still receive attribute points from Mo Xiaobei's practice of martial arts and her gradual improvement in strength, which showed that she was not too lazy.

Seeing that Li Ming didn't care about her, Mo Xiaobei couldn't help but feel happy.

Just as he was about to make a threatening gesture to Qiu Xiaodong, he was frightened by Li Ming's gaze and quickly retracted his gesture, becoming submissive.

Soon, Li Ming brought Mo Xiaobei to the center of the martial arts hall.

Lin Pingzhi, Yang Guo, and other disciples were already waiting here.

Recently, there has been an endless stream of people coming to the martial arts school to become disciples, but they may not have any good intentions. There are even quite a few people from other sects who have spent money to plant spies in.

In order to prevent chaos, Li Ming has made adjustments.

First of all, the threshold for accepting disciples has been raised again. It is no longer like before, where anyone can be accepted. Instead, one has to register information and investigate his background, which is a bit like background check.

If one's background is unknown, or one already has considerable strength, one cannot join the martial arts school.

However, our current capabilities are limited and the investigation cannot be more detailed.

Secondly, the disciples’ levels were divided into more detailed categories.

The fifty or so disciples who had joined previously became the veritable core circle, learning skills and practicing martial arts in the martial arts school.

The newly admitted disciples were all arranged in the newly built villas nearby.

These places were converted from large warehouses. They have already taken shape and are quite spacious, but they are separated from the core area of ​​the martial arts school. Li Ming will go there regularly to teach them martial arts and test their progress.

This group of people are of mixed quality, and they need to be trained for a period of time before those with good qualifications and conduct are selected and gradually promoted to the core disciple circle.

As for the disciples selected by the Beggars' Sect, they were only temporary partners and could not be trusted, so they were arranged in another newly built villa.

The vacant land outside Qixia Town is still under construction and the progress is not that fast.

As a result, the first batch of disciples in the martial arts school could not help but feel extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, they were willing to spend money to join a martial arts school and became the first batch to be trained.

The disciples who came in later did not receive the same treatment. It was not easy to gain the trust of the master and gradually rise through the ranks.

Not to mention, it has gradually transitioned to the point where even those with money may not be able to get in.

After discovering these changes, many people who wanted to become disciples but had been waiting and watching, at least in the vicinity of Qixia Town, regretted their decision very much.

There are even many people who were interested at first, but when they saw the apprenticeship fees rising, they chose to wait for a while to see if they could get lowered.

But who would have thought that Li Ming's strength increased faster than the apprenticeship fee!

After several tough battles, the threshold of the martial arts school has now become unattainable for them.

This made them regret it so much, and they thought countless times in their hearts that if they could go back to the past, they would join a martial arts school even if they had to sell everything they had.

Of course, it's too late to say anything now.

The first batch of more than 50 core disciples are now gathered on the martial arts training ground in front of the martial arts hall.

Li Ming first divided them into groups and had them fight each other to see how their strength improved.

After the inspection, I am relatively satisfied.

The most talented disciples in the martial arts hall first took the Xiao Peiyuan Pill, and then went through a period of time to temper their bodies with materials. In addition, with enough supplies in the martial arts hall, they have now reached the Qi realm.

Some of them have even successfully broken through to the Gang realm.

But once it reaches this level, the speed suddenly slows down.

Among the many disciples in the martial arts school, the strongest one is Lin Pingzhi, who already has a foundation. He is now in the acquired realm, and it is estimated that his strength is not weak among those in the same realm.

After inspecting the ordinary disciples, Li Ming let his three direct disciples come on stage.

The other disciples also opened their eyes wide, wanting to see the performance of these three geniuses.

First, Mo Xiaobei and Lin Pingzhi competed in swordsmanship. Lin Pingzhi deliberately did not use his body movements and internal strength, and only competed with swordsmanship.

The two swords collided, the Yue girl sword technique versus the Jade girl sword technique, both sides fought fast, and the moves were erratic and exquisite, which made all the disciples stare in amazement.

What followed was a fist fight between Mo Xiaobei and Yang Guo.

What is even more surprising is that Yang Guo had only been in the martial arts school for a short time, but he did not fall behind in such a short period of time.

Nanshan Palm was no match for Mo Xiaobei's Thirty-Six Grappling Techniques, so Yang Guo suddenly changed his palm into fingers and used an extremely sophisticated acupoint identification and acupoint striking technique.

In the end, it was Mo Xiaobei who had the quickest idea and took the lead by twisting his hands behind his back.

"Ouch, Senior Sister, please show some mercy. I admit defeat."

Yang Guo hurriedly begged for mercy, and Mo Xiaobei let him go with a sense of accomplishment.

After testing everyone, Li Ming let everyone go and practice their martial arts on their own. He only kept three of his direct disciples and asked them to stay in a quiet room in the martial arts hall.

Mo Xiaobei is a person who can't sit still, and he couldn't wait to chase Li Ming to ask questions.

"Master, how was my performance just now? Did I not embarrass you?"

"Master, you see, I have already mastered those martial arts so well. When will you teach me the inner strength?"

Mo Xiaobei said this half coquettishly, half beggingly.

Li Ming ignored her and asked the three people to stand in front of him.

In comparison, Lin Pingzhi was much more steady. He stood by without saying a word, waiting for Li Ming's instructions.

"Xiaobei, Pingzhi, your foundation has been almost laid. Next, I will teach you the inner strength method."

When these words came out, Mo Xiaobei was stunned.

She was just striving for it out of habit, but she didn't expect that Li Ming could actually fulfill this wish.

Mo Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, then jumped up high and wanted to cheer.

Their Hengshan School is mainly based on swordsmanship, and does not have a strong inner strength. They rely entirely on martial arts to gradually improve their inner strength. After spending some time with Li Ming, Mo Xiaobei also knows that as long as the master takes out something, it must be a good thing!
So after she cheered, she couldn't help but stare eagerly.

As soon as Li Ming took out a book on Xiantian Kung Fu, Mo Xiaobei couldn't wait to grab it.

"Thank you, Master!"

After saying that, he flipped through the pages hurriedly.

Afterwards, Lin Pingzhi also had the Jade Girl Heart Sutra in his hand.

Li Ming had originally prepared some good internal skills for them, but recently these two better options became available, so they naturally came in handy.

Especially the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, which is very consistent with the martial arts learned by Lin Pingzhi.

Although Lin Pingzhi didn't say anything, he pursed his lips tightly and there was also a flash of heat in his eyes.

At the same time, Lin Pingzhi was also given a martial art called the Three No's and Three No's.

This was a vicious Kung Fu that Li Mochou created many years after she left the Ancient Tomb Sect. It was divided into three moves: "penetrating every hole", "reaching every place" and "being able to do anything".

It not only inherits the swiftness and agility of the Ancient Tomb School, but also its moves are extremely sinister and vicious.

After Lin Pingzhi briefly flipped through the secret book, his eyes became even more passionate, and it seemed that his enthusiasm for this "Three No's and Three No's" was even higher than that for the Jade Girl Heart Sutra.

Li Ming also noticed that perhaps because of his life experience, Lin Pingzhi was extremely interested in this kind of sinister kung fu.

This made Li Ming a little worried about his mental state.

Li Ming asked them to memorize the contents of the exercises on the spot.

The internal skills need to be taught to them in stages, and the secret manual cannot be allowed to be taken away, especially Mo Xiaobei, in order to prevent it from being lost.

At the same time Li Ming said.

"Xiao Bei, next, I will urge you to practice Hengshan Sword Technique. This is something your sister-in-law has specially asked me to do. At the same time, I will also teach you some other things. Don't be lazy."

"Don't worry, Master!"

Mo Xiaobei responded confidently.

Afterwards, Li Ming explained to Lin Pingzhi the precautions for practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra. Seeing that Lin Pingzhi had memorized it well, he felt relieved.

When he turned around, he saw Yang Guo staring at him eagerly and spoke weakly.

"Master, um...what kind of internal energy should I practice?"

"What are you thinking about? You have just entered our martial arts school not long ago. It is far from the time to practice internal skills. Am I right, Master?"

Without waiting for Li Ming to speak, Mo Xiaobei acted like a senior sister and taught him a lesson.

Yang Guo could only pout.

But soon, Li Ming called him over and taught him a martial art called Orchid Finger-Tapping.

After a long while, the three of them walked out of the quiet room again.

The next period of time is the harvest phase.

Although Li Ming knew that the three of them had strong aptitudes, the speed of the rewards they received after teaching them the skills was still far beyond his expectations.

Not long after the task was completed, the system began to frequently pop up prompts.

[Apprentice Mo Xiaobei's Xiantian Kung Fu comprehension improves, gaining attribute points +120]

[Apprentice Lin Pingzhi's proficiency in the Three No's and Three No's is improved, and attribute points +50 are obtained]

[Apprentice Lin Pingzhi's understanding of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra improves, gaining attribute points +100]

[Apprentice Yang Guo's Orchid Acupuncture Points proficiency increased, gaining attribute points +60]

……

Li Ming also did not expect that the return rate for several disciples to practice internal skills was particularly high, and the attribute points brought by each prompt would basically exceed 100.

As the level and power of martial arts practiced increase, the attribute point rewards also increase.

In just one day, Li Ming earned nearly two thousand attribute points from the three of them.

Finally, Li Ming calculated that the inventory in his hands was almost gone.

That night, in his room where he was alone.

Suddenly, a powerful amount of true energy burst out, directly breaking open the doors and windows like a flood.

But just a moment later, the true energy and the terrifying aura that came with it were instantly retracted without leaving a trace, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

In the room, Li Ming stood up with undisguised excitement in his eyes.

To others, the aura on his body was still only at the Gang realm.

But if you observe carefully, you will find that a terrifying aura is slowly gathering and hiding from Li Ming.

From time to time, a deep light flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting and soon disappeared.

It has a bit of a return to nature flavor.

This is the manifestation of having reached the Grandmaster level!

Is this the Grandmaster realm?
Li Ming couldn't help but close his eyes, feeling every inch of changes in his body from head to toe.

It's a feeling that cannot be described in words.

The six senses have become sharper, the body has become lighter, and the internal Qi has not only become stronger, it is almost condensed into substance.

A blow that previously required enormous strength to deliver can now be delivered with ease.

Moreover, if too much internal energy is consumed, the recovery speed brought by the Xiaoyao Heart Sutra will also be terrifying at a massive level.

Mental strength is stronger...

In short, there are too many changes in all aspects.

Li Ming felt it for a long time before he gradually calmed down.

When I opened the system interface in my mind, it also changed.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through to the Grandmaster level and unlocking the lucky draw interface]

[Get a limited-time reward, a gold lottery, would you like to use it? ]

At the same time, a lottery interface appeared in the system.

Golden draw?

Sounds like it should be worth the money.

Li Ming had an idea and chose to use the lottery opportunity.

In an instant, a virtual turntable appeared in Li Ming's mind and began to spin wildly.

After a burst of white light, a prompt popped up on the system.

【Lottery completed】

[Congratulations on obtaining the Cold Jade Bed +1]

【Obtain Diegu Medical Classics】

[Obtain Viper Blood]

Li Ming was pleasantly surprised to get so many prizes from a single golden lottery.

One is the Ancient Tomb Sect’s most precious treasure, the Cold Jade Bed.

It is said that this was made from cold jade that Wang Chongyang dug out from hundreds of feet of ice in the bitter cold of the far north, despite great hardships, and gave to Lin Chaoying, the founder of the Ancient Tomb School.

Practicing internal energy on this bed can double your speed and greatly improve your skills in a short period of time. It is a rare treasure.

Even in the Tomb Sweep School, there is only a small piece.

But the cold jade bed that Li Ming obtained from the system was very spacious and could accommodate several people to meditate and practice at the same time.

The Diegu Medical Classic is a work by Hu Qingniu, the medical immortal of Diegu, which records the essence of his medical skills.

According to the annotations, this precious blood of the viper can quickly enhance the internal strength and physical fitness of disciples who are still at a low level, and it can even have a certain effect in avoiding poison.

If Li Ming remembered correctly, in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Liang Ziweng spent a lot of effort and rare materials to cultivate a viper of this kind just to drink its blood.

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be a good thing for Guo Jing later.

After he drank the snake's blood, both his internal strength and physical strength were greatly improved in a short period of time.

It seems that the precious blood of the viper is also a good thing.

This time the golden lottery was really worth it, which made Li Ming very satisfied.

He fully enjoyed the pleasure of breaking through and entering the Grandmaster realm.

But at the same time, in a guest room on the second floor of Tongfu Inn.

A pair of hands slowly lowered the curtains by the window.

"Are you sure that Master Li is really only at the Xiantian realm?"

"It's absolutely true. Our information is not wrong. It's just that his martial arts are extremely strange, especially his swordsmanship, which far exceeds his own level." One person answered.

"Can we handle him?"

"Don't worry, it's not just us. Elder Shangguan of the Tiancan Sect has also taken over the matter and is on his way."

"Shangguan Yundun of the Tiancan Sect?"

"Yes, it's him!"
