It has been five days since Li Ziye was severely injured by the leader of the bandits at the Li Residence.

During these five days, apart from being troubled by Qin E’nuo, Li Ziye soaked in medicinal baths every day and focused on cultivating the heart method of the Flying Immortal Technique.

As Qin E’nuo and Slovenly Zhang guessed, even though Li Ziye stumbled upon the correct cultivation method for the Flying Immortal Technique by accident and had an endless supply of potent medicine, his cultivation speed was still very slow.

Very slow!

Slow to the point of being exasperating!

Li Ziye, who was as extraordinary as Qin E’nuo, a fairy-like figure, had wanted to give up on this disciple several times and leave.

If it weren’t for Li Ziye’s thick-skinned persistence and the fact that his acceptance as a disciple was widely known and couldn’t be changed, Qin E’nuo would have truly reached her limit and left.

“Calm down, this was expected.” Slovenly Zhang said with a smirk by the lake.

“No, at this speed, he will never catch up to Huo Lin’er even after a hundred years of cultivation. We must find a way to open up his other meridians as soon as possible.” Qin E’nuo suppressed her anger and said.

“It’s difficult.” Slovenly Zhang said, “The Li Residence indeed has plenty of silver and an abundant supply of potent medicine. However, as you have seen, his body has developed resistance to these potent medicines, and their effects are becoming weaker. At this rate, even if we gather all the potent medicine in the world, it won’t be enough for him to open up all eight meridians.”

It must be said that this kid is like a walking medicine jar. In these days, the amount of potent medicine used on him could probably buy a city.

It is only because of the Li Residence’s wealth and resources that they can withstand such terrifying consumption.

“If it really doesn’t work, I will go to the capital city.” Qin E’nuo said in a deep voice. If she could obtain the Fo-Ti Root from the Imperial Academy, it would help Li Ziye open up the second meridian and increase his cultivation speed.

“We should consider this matter carefully. That Confucian Scholar is too formidable, and he has never been defeated in the capital city of Great Shang. Even if you go in person, it will be difficult to succeed.” Slovenly Zhang said.

“If we want to obtain the thousand-year Fo-Ti Root from the Confucian Scholar Kong Qiu, using force is indeed the worst option.” Qin E’nuo regained her composure and said, “I will think of other ways. Perhaps the best option is to trade for the Fo-Ti Root from the Imperial Academy.”

“What can move Kong Qiu, the Confucian Scholar who controls the scholars of the world?” Slovenly Zhang sighed lightly.

Qin E’nuo narrowed her eyes slightly and said, “That kid said something right. Everyone pursues profit, and the only difference is the type of profit. Although Kong Qiu’s status is transcendent, he must also have something he desires or even something he can’t obtain.”

“Speaking of that kid, where is he?” Slovenly Zhang didn’t want to say much on this topic and turned around to ask.

“He went to Qilian Mountain.” Qin E’nuo said calmly, “He left early in the morning, and it’s about time for him to return.”

“Fairy Master!”

Sure enough, as soon as they mentioned him, Li Ziye hadn’t even appeared yet, but the sound of a pig being slaughtered had already arrived.

Qin E’nuo frowned and looked towards the backyard.

Outside the backyard, a disheveled figure of a young man ran back, covered in tattered clothes, with hair as messy as a chicken’s nest, as if he had been mistreated.

“Oh, what a unique look. Kid, did you steal someone’s wife and get beaten up?” Slovenly Zhang sarcastically said with a smile.

“Get lost, Old Zhang, can’t you hope for something good for me?” Li Ziye grumbled unhappily, took three steps in two and walked forward with an angry expression, “Fairy Master, I was ambushed by those shameless bandits and almost couldn’t make it back.”

“Oh.” Qin E’nuo nodded indifferently.

Seeing Qin E’nuo’s indifferent attitude, Li Ziye felt very hurt and asked, “Fairy Master, why don’t you care about your disciple at all?”

“If you keep going to other camps to cause trouble every few days, if it were me, I would find a way to ambush you too.” Qin E’nuo said lightly, and added, “As long as you’re not dead.”

“…”

Li Ziye rubbed his messy hair and didn’t know how to respond.

Why was his life so bitter?

“Now that your injuries have almost healed, I will teach you the techniques of the Flying Immortal Technique from today onwards.” Qin E’nuo reached out her hand and said, “Give me the sword.”

“Here.” Hearing that he could learn the sword technique of the Flying Immortal Technique, Li Ziye immediately became excited and handed over the Frost Sword in his hand.

Qin E’nuo took the sword, lightly stepped on her feet, and soared into the air. Her graceful figure left behind a splendid rainbow light in the courtyard. Following that, the sword was unsheathed, and the wind and clouds stirred.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the Frost Sword cut through the void, and wherever the sword energy passed, dust flew and the stone slabs on the ground split in two. It was unparalleled in sharpness and invincible.After a sword strike, Qin E’nuo stopped and walked back, throwing the Frost Sword over. She said lightly, “Practice according to the footsteps on the ground. When you have mastered it perfectly, I will teach you the next move.”

Li Ziye looked at the footprints on the ground and his face showed astonishment.

Old Qin was too fast just now. Except for the last sword strike, he didn’t see anything clearly. If it weren’t for the footprints on the ground, he would have thought that Old Qin had been flying all along.

Since there were footprints, he could do it too.

With this in mind, Li Ziye walked to the nearest footprint and immediately stepped on it, starting to practice according to the traces left by Old Qin.

“Ah!”

However, as soon as Li Ziye reached the second footprint, his body flew out of control and crashed into a tree in front of him.

By the lake, Slovenly Zhang drank from a jar of wine and smiled faintly.

If the Flying Immortal Technique was so easy to learn, there would have been someone who had mastered it in the past thousand years.

Just these moves were enough to give this kid a hard time.

“Plunk!”

Before Slovenly Zhang’s thoughts could settle, a cool breeze swept by behind him. Immediately, Li Ziye’s figure flew out and plunged straight into the lake.

“Oh, what’s this? Are you so desperate that you want to jump into the lake?”

Slovenly Zhang brushed off the splashes of water on his body and mocked.

“Old Zhang, stop making fun of me. Why is this so difficult to learn? Can’t you help me?”

Li Ziye climbed out of the lake in a sorry state and said.

“The body technique and sword technique of the Flying Immortal Technique are not easy to learn, especially when you use Genuine Qi. If you can’t master the body technique and sword technique of the Flying Immortal Technique proficiently, you might end up hurting yourself like you just did.”

Slovenly Zhang laughed and said, “As for helping, I can responsibly tell you that I can’t help you. Good luck.”

“You’re not a good friend!”

Li Ziye said unhappily, then got up and continued to practice his sword.

So, in the backyard of the Li Residence, there were occasional sounds of crashing into walls and trees, and even the sound of falling into the lake.

Inside the backyard, all the servants were terrified when they walked, afraid of being affected by the crazy Young Master and being thrown into the lake together.

Until sunset, Li Ziye had not been able to take more than three steps, while Qin E’nuo’s footprints numbered nine.

“Let’s go, let’s go back to our rooms and sleep.”

After nightfall, Slovenly Zhang got up, brushed off the dirt on his body, and walked towards his room.

By the lake, only Li Ziye was still practicing his sword, flying out again and again, and getting up again and again.

Not far away, in a room, Qin E’nuo stood by the window, watching the persistent young man outside. A trace of admiration flashed in her beautiful eyes.

At least, his tenacious and never-give-up character was unmatched by many.

For others, let alone enduring the patience to cultivate the moves of the Flying Immortal Technique, they would not even be able to pass the first stage of opening the meridians.

Shattering the meridians and then repairing them, once a day, constantly repeating, this kind of pain was not something an ordinary person could bear.

The reason why she stayed in the Li Residence was because she was attracted to this young man’s tenacity.

Geniuses were common, but those with great perseverance were rare.

The path of cultivation was ultimately a long tug-of-war. Many geniuses had a start that surpassed ordinary people, but later they became insignificant. What they lacked was this tenacious character.

Li Ziye was quite good. Perhaps his path of martial arts did not start as well as others, but as long as he could make up for this innate deficiency, one day, his brilliance would shock the world.

The night was long, and everyone in the Li Residence fell asleep one after another. In the backyard, the figure of the slender young man was still persistently practicing his sword.

He didn’t want to lose to anyone, even if both Sword Immortals said he couldn’t do it.

“Plunk!”

Once again, Li Ziye fell into the lake, then crawled out in a sorry state and lay on the grass, gasping for breath.

Sword Immortal, what a cool title. He must succeed!

Since there was a path ahead, he would keep going, even if it was a bit hard, it didn’t matter.

Now, compared to the situation where there was no way forward before, it was much better, wasn’t it?

Li Ziye encouraged himself in his heart, then struggled to get up and continued to practice his sword.

As dawn broke and the rooster crowed, when everyone in the Li Residence woke up, the figure of the young man in the backyard was nowhere to be seen.

At dawn, after practicing the heart technique of the Flying Immortal Technique, Li Ziye set off for the Qilian Mountains.

In the backyard, Qin E’nuo looked at the thousands of messy footprints on the ground, silent.

The fifth step!

Indeed, diligence can make up for clumsiness.

Perhaps, in the near future, he would be able to completely master the first move of the Flying Immortal Technique.

At the same time, in the capital city of Great Shang.

When Li Youwei entered the city, various forces began to send people to contact the eldest daughter of the Li Family.In Yuzhou City, the Li Family had long become a legend in the entire Great Shang Dynasty. Over the past decade, they had risen from a common merchant family to a wealth that could rival nations today, even the court dared not underestimate them.

Therefore, the arrival of the Li Family in the city aroused the interest of many.

Especially the ministers and forces following the four princes of the Great Shang, they were even more interested in the arrival of the Li Family.

There were many princes in the Great Shang, but only four truly had the ability to compete for the throne.

The First Prince, Mu Yuan, the Third Prince, Mu Yao, the Fourth Prince, Mu Bai, and the Eleventh Prince, Mu Qing.

The struggle between the four, whether overt or covert, whether active or passive, had been going on for many years.

People called it the Four Princes’ Struggle for Succession.

However, the first person in the royal family to meet Li Youwei was not any of the four princes.

It was the most dazzling pearl of the Great Shang Dynasty.

She was graceful and charming, even the always harsh historian of the Great Shang couldn’t help but make an exception to leave a note in the history books.

The most beautiful woman in the Great Shang Dynasty.

The Ninth Princess, Murong!
