地震如何保护自己

Chapter 332: 269: The True Martial Arts Grandmaster

Which one is superior, depth or breadth? It’s hard to say.

However, for Pei Xuanjing, he felt he had come to the right place.

In the Grand Ming World, he had already reached the peak. Each step forward required careful exploration and pioneering, without any reference.

Although this world was not as broad as the Grand Ming World, the Dao of Qi refinement provided him with great inspiration and reference.

Therefore, Pei Xuanjing spent twelve years studying the skills of this world, continuously modifying and adjusting his Shenxiao Heaven’s Intention.

After twelve years of research, his understanding of the Dao of Qi refinement far exceeded his previous knowledge.

It’s safe to say that many of the things which he was able to use to rapidly improve his power via the simulator, were understood superficially, but not profoundly.

The twelve years had undoubtedly been a process of consolidating his foundations, elevating them to a higher level.

These twelve years were not wasted, they were worthwhile. Only at this moment did he dare to call himself a master of martial arts. He had incorporated various skills into his knowledge.

Pei Xuanjing was confident that even if he had to do it all over again, even if he was still an average person without the help of the simulator, he could still gradually progress to the limit of the Mortal Realm.

“Mr. Min, here’s today’s meal.”

An old man with white hair and beard walked into the loft with the food box and spoke to Pei Xuanjing.

The old man, named Old Han, was arranged by the master to take care of Pei Xuanjing. Only he was allowed to come and go from this place.

Over the past decade, he had become accustomed to the silent and reserved nature of Mr. Xuanjing, and after speaking, he didn’t wait for an answer. He put down the food box and prepared to leave.

Old Han had served the master for countless years, even longer than many of the family elders at the mansion. If it weren’t for the master’s orders, he wouldn’t have had to do such tasks himself.

However, Old Han was curious, why this silent and reclusive youth was so valued by the master.

For a cultivator, the age between six to sixteen was the best time to shape the foundation. Missing this golden age would require more time to make up for it in the future, even with extraordinary talents.

Even though the master did nothing about it, he, a servitor, couldn’t presume to say anything. He could only comfort himself, perhaps the master had foresight, and he was short-sighted.

As Old Han was thinking, he walked out of the loft. Suddenly, an old man in extravagant clothes appeared in front of him. It was Pei Laozhu, the master of the Pei Mansion.

“Master.”

Old Han bowed slightly and respectfully addressed him.

“How is he?”

Mr. Pei Laozhu asked. “As usual.”

Old Han replied respectfully.

For over a decade, Lord Pei Xuanjing’s behavior had been pretty much the same, devoid of any changes. He was anything but a vibrant youth. He behaved more like an old man who seemed to have seen through worldly matters, as if nothing could stir his heart.

Mr. Pei Laozhu nodded slightly without comment and said faintly, “You can go now.”

With that, he took a big step and reached the top of the loft in a few breaths.

In the loft, Pei Xuanjing was still staring into the distance. He was not surprised by Mr. Pei Laozhu’s appearance, nor did he find it abrupt. It was as if Mr. Pei Laozhu had always been there.

“Min’er, it’s been twelve years. Have you cast your Heavenly Sword yet?”

Mr. Pei Laozhu looked at the handsome youth, the one whom he regarded as his heaven-sent grandson, and asked aloud.

He still remembered the first time he saw this youth. Even though he was small and frail, he knew instantly that this was the most exceptionally talented youth he had ever met. He felt as if the youth was a natural swordsman. Even without any cultivation, the youth’s unprecedented talents could not be concealed. He seemed like a divine sword that was naturally created.

Moreover, surprisingly, he was his own grandson, the biological son of his own son.

Back in the day, his eldest son had extraordinary talents, but due to certain issues, he left home, treating it as if it were his enemy, and severed contact with him forever.

That event made him so disheartened that he believed he could no longer pass on his lifetime of knowledge. Thus, he gave up his government post, returned home, and lived a secluded life in the clouds.

However, despite falling out with his son, after his son’s death in battle, he couldn’t let his only grandson wander the world. Therefore, he personally took action to bring his grandson home.

Unexpectedly, the decision rekindled his dormant heart.

He couldn’t help but wonder, was this Heaven’s compensation after taking away his extraordinarily talented son?

It had given him a grandson with even more exceptional talents.

At that moment, Mr. Pei Laozhu resolved to impart all his knowledge and nurture a true powerhouse.

However, he didn’t expect that the youth would refuse his proposal.

The youth told him that he had his own path. He wanted to take the world as his teacher, use all things as copper, Yin and Yang as his charcoal fire, and forge an unparalleled divine sword.

If anyone else had said this, Mr. Pei Laozhu would have scoffed at them for not knowing their place. However, when these words came out of the youth’s mouth, he had no doubts. Instead, he inexplicably felt that the youth would definitely succeed.

Therefore, even though he was rejected, Mr. Pei Laozhu did not give up.

Want to review martial skills?

Yes!

Want to watch martial arts?

Absolutely!

Don’t want to cultivate for now?

Alright!

Just need a secluded place to stay?

No problem!

Over the past twelve years, Mr. Pei Laozhu never denied any of Pei Xuanjing’s requests, not even raising any objections.

“Do you need me to do something?” Pei Xuanjing retracted his gaze and looked at Mr. Pei Laozhu.

Pei Xuanjing disliked beating around the bush. Just because he didn’t, didn’t mean he didn’t understand people’s feelings. Mr. Pei Laozhu didn’t hide his thoughts either. How could he not understand?

“Indeed.” Facing the youth’s straightforwardness, Mr. Pei Laozhu smiled slightly and admitted honestly.

Pei Xuanjing kept a calm face: “Go on.”

He still wore that calm and indifferent expression, as if nothing in the world could change his facial expression.

To Pei Xuanjing, this was just another experience.

His heart was calm as water, like a detached observer, observing this world with detachment..
