Chapter 75: The Power of the Formation, the Evil Monk of the Blood Blade Sect
Qiu Chuji's tone was very firm.
From this quick glimpse, he had already seen that this sword technique was specifically designed to target their Quanzhen sword technique, and that its founder was as intelligent and talented in martial arts as their sect's founder, Wang Chongyang.
Qiu Chuji had already made up his mind to take this sword technique back and study it carefully.
Maybe based on this, we can find out the shortcomings and improve the Quanzhen swordsmanship of our school, and push it to a whole new level!
When he thought about the contribution he could make to the sect, Qiu Chuji even felt a little excited.
"can."
A smile appeared on Li Ming's face.
Of course, it would be best to have business to do.
Moreover, the Quanzhen Sect is a large and powerful sect with abundant financial resources, so there is no need to be polite to them and just ask for a high price.
The most important thing is that the moves that can be used to crack the Quanzhen Sword Technique are only a small part of the Jade Girl Sword Technique, so it doesn't matter if you split it out and give it to the opponent.
Only focusing on sword techniques and the restraint between them is already inferior.
Not to mention, the complete version of the Jade Girl Sword Technique does focus on restraining the Quanzhen Sword Technique in the beginning.
Because the original founder Lin Chaoying was determined to surpass Wang Chongyang.
But in the second half, Lin Chaoying put all her feelings for Wang Chongyang into it, and the two sword techniques had to be coordinated with each other to unleash their true power.
Even if Qiu Chuji brought back some moves and continued to study in the opposite direction, it would only be a waste of energy and he would not be able to grasp the essence at all.
This was silver given to him for free, there was no reason for Li Ming to refuse it.
Soon, the two sides agreed on the terms.
From beginning to end, Sun Buer, the quiet and quiet wanderer who had suffered a setback here last time, did not say a word and let his senior brother Qiu Chuji and Li Ming negotiate.
On the other hand, Zhen Zhibing lost two battles in vain, both times to Yang Guo, a young boy in his eyes. His face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
But with the order from his master Qiu Chuji, he had no choice but to put down his sword and stop.
When passing by Yang Guo, Zhen Zhibing couldn't help but snorted coldly.
From the first moment they met, he had a very bad impression of Yang Guo, as if he had a natural grudge against him.
Zhen Zhibing was still thinking in his heart that this guy was just taking advantage of his skills and was actually far inferior to himself.
As the designated next leader of Quanzhen Sect, I would not bother with him.
If I see this kid in the world again, I will definitely let him see how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!
Zhen Zhibing was full of resentment.
However, Zhao Zhijing, who was standing next to him, was delighted inside even though he didn't say anything.
My heart is finally balanced!
The last time he lost to Lin Pingzhi, he was almost angry to death, but this time Zhen Zhibing actually lost to such a young boy, which made him feel that his last defeat was not unacceptable.
"Junior Brother Zhen, don't take it personally. You've handled it very well and are almost catching up with me, your senior brother."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Zhibing glared at Zhao Zhijing and turned his head away, ignoring him.
But then he saw Yang Guo again, and he felt even more unbalanced.
This little guy is much younger than me and much more handsome than me. I feel uncomfortable no matter how I look at him.
On this side, after Li Ming and Qiu Chuji had finished the discussion, Qiu Chuji immediately took out a silver note from his pocket.
This made Li Ming stunned.
Most people wouldn't carry tens of thousands of taels of silver notes with them when they go out.
It seems that before Qiu Chuji came, he had already inquired about the rules of his martial arts school and the approximate prices of the martial arts techniques sold in the previous few times.
As expected, I came well prepared, which saved me the time of raising money.
Li Ming couldn't help but complain in his heart.
It seems that these monks and Taoists are really richer than each other, and they can take out tens of thousands of taels of silver at will.
Li Ming began to wonder whether he should raise the price again in the future.
After getting the money, Qiu Chuji soon obtained the part of the Jade Girl Sword Technique that was specific to the Quanzhen Sword Technique.
Qiu Chuji casually opened it and took a look at it. His eyes lit up and he immediately put it in his arms.
"Master Li, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave. We will meet again later."
After saying this, Qiu Chuji took Sun Buer and the other two away.
Before leaving, Zhen Zhibing did not forget to look back and stare at Yang Duo for a few more times, as if he wanted to imprint the other's figure and appearance in his mind.
"Master, did I perform well just now?"
When Yang Guo saw Qiu Chuji and the others leave, he ran to Li Ming with a grin on his face, as if asking for a reward.
More than good?
The Jade Maiden Sword Technique was not Yang Guo's main sword technique, but he had often learned it from Lin Pingzhi during his normal practice, and as a result he had mastered most of the moves.
However, what surprised Li Ming the most was Yang Guo’s acupuncture skills.
So quickly, he had mastered the Orchid Finger Technique, and figured out how to use the jade flute instead of fingers to emit strong energy.
This is based on the fact that he also has to devote his energy to studying many miscellaneous subjects.
However, Li Ming knew that Yang Guo was asking for credit in such a playful manner because he actually wanted to persuade Li Ming to teach him new martial arts.
Especially since Yang Guo had recently seen Lin Pingzhi and Mo Xiaobei making rapid progress with the help of the Han Yu bed, he had become extremely envious.
He also dreamed of being able to practice internal skills one day.
"I will teach you another martial art called Jade Flute Sword Technique."
When Yang Guo heard the name, his eyes lit up.
"What a good name! It just so happens that I also use the Jade Flute. Isn't this Jade Flute Sword Technique tailor-made for me? But Master, is this sword technique powerful? The name sounds very elegant."
"Whether it's powerful or not, you will know it after you practice it yourself. In addition, I will give you a few days, and then I will test your results."
"No problem!" Yang Guo agreed excitedly.
Normally, Li Ming would check his progress in martial arts from time to time. It was nothing more than letting the three of his disciples learn from each other and then find out the gaps and fill them in.
After all, there is no better way than this.
Because Mo Xiaobei, Lin Pingzhi and Yang Guo were so talented and their progress was the fastest among all the disciples in the martial arts school, no other disciple could match them in a one-on-one fight.
So Yang Guo basically didn't take it seriously.
Li Ming brought Yang Guo to the newly built, more spacious training ground and began to teach Yang Guo the Yuxiao sword technique.
This Jade Flute Sword Technique is the unique skill of Peach Blossom Island. It is subtle and mysterious. The sword turns into a jade flute and the flute becomes a sword.
Although the moves are complicated, they are extremely graceful when connected together, and have an otherworldly look, which is very suitable for Yang Guo's personality and style.
Soon, Yang Guo finished learning part of it.
Li Ming asked him to go back and practice diligently, and he would teach him the next moves over several days.
Yang Guo immediately nodded heavily.
In the next few days, Li Ming not only taught Yang Guo the Yuxiao sword technique in batches, but also organized the outstanding core disciples in the martial arts school.
However, this time, what Li Ming taught them was not a certain martial art, but the Tiangang Beidou formation.
This was Li Ming's first time teaching a formation. To be honest, he was very curious about the power of the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation.
This formation evolved from the Big Dipper constellation in the sky. It can condense and enhance the strength of several people when attacking the enemy.
The simplest Tiangang Big Dipper Formation should be composed of seven people, but as the number of people increases, the scale of the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation can also be expanded accordingly. It can be said to be a unique skill for collective defense against the enemy.
In the original novel, the Quanzhen Sect even had ninety-eight people, with seven people in each group, forming fourteen Tiangang Beidou formations.
And every seven Big Dipper formations are arranged into a big Big Dipper formation, with dolls being placed on top continuously.
The power will also increase exponentially.
If one does not know the trick to breaking the formation, even an expert who is much stronger than the one who set up the formation would find it difficult to deal with it.
The process of teaching this formation is not so easy.
After all, it's not just one martial art, and everyone's level of mastery is different. Just let them go back and work hard on it.
This kind of formation requires everyone to work together and advance and retreat together. If any individual disciple fails to cooperate, it will greatly affect the power of the formation.
Moreover, it is necessary to enhance the tacit understanding among the disciples, so that they can cooperate with each other without any stagnation, and everyone's grasp of the formation should be roughly the same.
This puts forward higher requirements.
Even among this group of the most outstanding disciples, various problems would arise during practice.
Either someone was faster, or someone couldn't keep up, and from time to time someone would get dizzy and step in the wrong direction, resulting in collisions.
Even for Li Ming's subordinates, except for the three direct disciples, the most outstanding core disciples, it is not an easy task to fully master the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation.
Li Ming also showed great patience and let them practice over and over again.
After several days of hard work, the first batch of disciples gradually mastered it.
During this period, Yang Guo's Yuxiao sword technique was also taught, allowing him to go back and practice and comprehend it slowly.
Finally, it was time to test the results. Yang Guo and Lin Pingzhi stood in the new training ground early.
After recent hard work, Lin Pingzhi finally mastered the Quanzhen sword technique and finally got through the most difficult period.
With the continuous assistance of the Cold Jade Bed and Yiqi Powder, Lin Pingzhi's internal strength improved extremely quickly and far exceeded that of his peers.
Even though he is only in the acquired realm, he should be able to handle an ordinary innate realm opponent for a while if thrown in front of him. He might even win if he is lucky.
But to the surprise of Lin Pingzhi and Yang Guo, Li Ming's way of testing them this time was to let other core disciples fight against them, one against many. "This is quite interesting."
We are all brothers and sisters, and we often exchange ideas privately during our practice.
They all know each other's strength and what martial arts they are good at.
"I'll come first!"
Yang Guo was the first to come out with full confidence.
Li Ming nodded, and the other disciples immediately surrounded Yang Guo.
"My fellow brothers, please give me your guidance."
Yang Guo was still greeting everyone with a relaxed expression.
Soon, both sides started fighting. Yang Guo held the jade flute in his hand and assumed the starting posture of the Jade Flute Sword Technique.
But only then did he realize that the positions of the seven brothers surrounding him were actually quite interesting.
It didn't form a circle, but became the shape of a spoon.
Lin Pingzhi next to him also looked at him and noticed something different.
Following Li Ming's order, several directions around Yang Guo were attacked instantly.
These attacks are not independent of each other, but are interconnected and form a whole.
"call!"
A strong wind blew in his face, and Yang Guo hurriedly used his body skills to dodge.
But after he moved sideways a few steps, several waves of attacks came towards him, blocking his space to dodge.
The seven disciples responded to each other's moves, rising and falling continuously like the tide.
What was even more strange was that Yang Guo could even clearly feel that the offensive launched by several of them together had a tendency to strengthen each other.
Each person's attack is much more powerful than if they attack alone.
He was clearly just a martial artist in the Gang Realm, but he managed to give the feeling of being attacked by several martial artists in the Hou Tian Realm at the same time.
Yang Guo used the Jade Flute Sword Technique to resist for a while, but was soon forced to retreat step by step, with his back blocked by the attack.
He wanted to use the Orchid Finger Technique, but once the attack in the formation was formed, the attacks came one after another, forcing Yang Guo to be unable to free his hands.
This is not a solution. We must find a way to break out.
Yang Guo made up his mind, blocked a wave of attacks, and immediately rushed outside.
However, Yang Guo was fast and the formation was also fast, so they reacted very promptly.
As Yang Guo's body moved, the formation immediately adjusted its angle, and the spoon shape changed direction, surrounding Yang Guo in the middle.
I rushed out a few steps desperately, but it didn't work.
Yang Guo was very surprised, but he had no chance to think about it, so he could only desperately mobilize his internal energy to fight with him.
In the end, two fists were no match for four hands, and he was soon caught off guard by the continuous attacks, causing him to make mistakes. Several weapons were immediately placed around him.
"I lost."
Yang Guo looked rather depressed, and his previous arrogance was completely suppressed.
He is Li Ming's direct disciple and has excellent aptitude. With the mentality of a young man, he has become quite conceited recently.
As a result, this defeat was like a bucket of cold water poured over him, which made him sober up a lot and his arrogance was reduced a lot.
Seeing Yang Guo's expression, which became less ostentatious and more serious, Li Ming also nodded.
Yang Guo has a frivolous temperament and sometimes easily goes astray. If he develops an arrogant and conceited character, he is doomed to go not far in the martial arts. He still needs to hone his skills frequently.
Then, Li Ming asked Lin Pingzhi to come on stage.
"Yes, Master."
Lin Pingzhi quickly walked to the middle of the group and stood still.
The spoon-shaped Tiangang Beidou formation was arranged again.
Following Li Ming's order, Lin Pingzhi suddenly shook his sword violently, and took the initiative to attack before the seven people's attack arrived.
When Yang Guo took action just now, Lin Pingzhi had been observing for a long time and realized that the seven of them were using a formation.
Yang Guo's physical skills were pretty good, as he learned some martial arts from the Peach Blossom Island, but even with all his might he was still unable to break through the encirclement formation formed by them.
This formation is extremely sophisticated and can also enhance their offensive power.
Lin Pingzhi weighed it over in his mind and felt that if he continued fighting as planned, it would be difficult for him to win.
So he simply took the initiative and took an unconventional approach.
After all, the formation is made up of people.
As long as you first aim at a target, open a gap, and make a flaw in the formation, then you will have a chance of winning.
I have to say that Lin Pingzhi's thinking is still very clear.
The target he chose happened to be a disciple at the end of the spoon shape.
This disciple is the weakest and in Lin Pingzhi's eyes is most likely to become a breakthrough point.
Lin Pingzhi used his agile and graceful body movements at an extremely fast speed, rushing towards the target like a gust of breeze.
But these seven disciples had already practiced the formation to perfection, and of course had taken into account all possible situations.
Before Lin Pingzhi's sword could get close, the formation immediately changed shape and changed its direction according to the pace they had practiced.
After slightly disturbing its position, it regained its spoon shape in the blink of an eye.
But the person who appeared in front of Lin Pingzhi this time was a disciple of Yuheng star, named Song Zhiming.
He is one of the two strongest among the seven core disciples.
So he stood at the more important Yuheng star position, while another disciple, Cui Yuankai, whose strength was comparable to his, stood at the most strategic Tianquan star position.
The two complemented each other and attacked at the same time.
The power of the seven people was connected to each other, and the power was greatly enhanced when they attacked. Lin Pingzhi's attack was forcibly blocked.
Lin Pingzhi collided with them and was stunned.
But he still aimed at the weakest target he had locked onto, changing his angle and chasing after it.
Always want to make a breakthrough in it.
But no matter how hard Lin Pingzhi tried, every time he took action, the formation would change with his actions.
This flaw has always been hidden in the formation.
No matter which direction Lin Pingzhi attacked, he was always met with a combined attack from seven people.
After fighting for a long time, Lin Pingzhi had no choice but to take advantage of the gaps that appeared in the middle of the battle because they were not familiar with the formation.
She took a step forward sideways and broke out of the siege with her superb Jade Girl Swordsmanship.
This fight finally came to an end.
But even so, when Lin Pingzhi looked back again, his eyes were filled with surprise that could not be concealed.
He is already a Postnatal Realm cultivator with considerable strength, yet he was dragged down by seven Gang Realm fellow disciples and forced to flee. This shows how mysterious this formation is.
If among the seven people forming the formation, there were several people in the post-natal realm with strength similar to his, and they were enemies determined to kill him, Lin Pingzhi would probably be in trouble.
He always thought that as long as his martial arts skills were good enough, he would be able to crush all opponents like his master Li Ming.
But now I realize that there are so many strange and varied ways of fighting in this world. Even if I have some strength, I still can't take it lightly.
After the drill, Li Ming was very satisfied with the performance of both sides.
In the future, when more core disciples become stronger, they can be gradually incorporated into the Tiangang Beidou Formation.
The disciples can form formations with each other at any time, which can at least ensure that they have the ability to protect themselves when facing strong enemies.
After this test, Lin Pingzhi and Yang Guo both realized that they still had shortcomings, and secretly made up their minds to practice martial arts more diligently.
Next, the martial arts school spent a few relatively peaceful months as the weather gradually turned cooler.
The disciples' strength is steadily increasing.
With the investment of a large amount of resources, Li Ming's expectations were finally met, and there were several more powerful post-natal disciples among the core disciples.
Lin Pingzhi took the lead and reached the peak of the acquired realm, ready to break through.
Mo Xiaobei is not far from Lin Pingzhi. After laying a solid foundation, the advantages of his innate skills have gradually begun to emerge, and his internal strength has begun to grow faster and faster.
After this period of hard work, the main part of the martial arts hall was finally renovated under the leadership of Yue Qing.
Not only does the martial arts hall look much more imposing in appearance, but its internal structure has also undergone a complete and earth-shaking change.
Except for Li Ming and Yue Qing, no one knew what had been added or modified in the martial arts hall.
The relevant drawings are only in the hands of the two of them.
At noon that day, after finishing his busy work, Li Ming went to Tongfu Inn for lunch as usual.
But I found that the atmosphere today was a little different from usual.
As soon as he sat down, Bai Zhantang came to Li Mingjie mysteriously, holding a teapot.
"Master Li, have you heard? The evil monk from the Blood Blade Sect has come out to cause trouble again. Now many martial arts heroes have joined forces and are hunting him down!"
