Chapter 8 I am tired of being a teacher
Yue Buqun understood the hidden meaning of Li Anran's words, his face darkened, and he shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about! How can your master lie to you!"

Having said that, Yue Buqun took a step forward and placed his finger on Li Anran's pulse, wanting to find out what was going on with Li Anran.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he gathered his strength, he suddenly felt a vast and powerful internal force counterattacking him, which actually shook his fingers away. He retreated several steps, and his entire arm was shaking and numb.

"Master, are you okay?"

Li Anran was startled, and hurried forward to support Yue Buqun, and explained hastily: "I didn't mean to do that just now, I didn't notice that Master wanted to check my internal strength, I..."

"enough!"

Yue Buqun interrupted Li Anran, looking confused and uncertain.

He naturally knew that Li Anran's counterattack just now was just an instinctive reaction of his internal energy to the invasion of external internal energy.

But, precisely because of this, he was even more shocked and unbelievable!
Li Anran's instinctive counterattack with his internal strength was enough to push him back several steps, which meant that Li Anran's internal strength was far superior to his!
Moreover, he also discovered that Li Anran's internal strength was as smooth as clouds and extremely tenacious, and when he counterattacked, it was overwhelming and unstoppable!

This is the biggest feature of Zixia's magic!

Yue Buqun asked sternly, "Have you ever practiced Zixia Magic before?"

"no!"

Li Anran was shocked and quickly shook his head to deny it. Stealing martial arts, even if it was from one's own sect, was a taboo in the martial arts world. He said, "Today is the first time that my disciple has come into contact with the Purple Cloud Divine Art."

Yue Buqun was a little skeptical: "Really?!"

Li Anran suddenly became anxious: "It's absolutely true! Master, you have been so kind to me, how dare I deceive you? If you don't believe me, you can come and check it yourself!" As he said that, he stretched out his left hand without hesitation.

Yue Buqun stared at Li Anran for a long time before he spoke: "Ran'er, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this matter is of great importance and there is no room for error."

Li Anran nodded and said, "Disciple understands."

Seeing this, Yue Buqun placed his fingers on Li Anran's pulse again and carefully infused his internal energy into it.

This time, Li Anran deliberately controlled his internal strength.

His internal energy was able to smoothly flow into Li Anran's meridians.

Yue Buqun's expression softened.

Allowing someone else's internal energy to enter your meridians is tantamount to handing your life into the other person's hands.

The fact that Li Anran was willing to do this showed that she absolutely trusted him.

However, Yue Buqun did not stop, and continued to mobilize his internal energy to travel all the way from the Neiguan acupoint to Li Anran's body. The more he examined, the more horrified he became.

The Zixia Qi in Li Anran's body is not only far superior to his in quantity, but also superior in quality!
However, there was no sign at all that Li Anran's meridians and dantian had been nourished by the purple qi for a long time!
This means that this is indeed the first time that Li Anran is practicing the Zixia magic skill!
"How can this be?!"

Yue Buqun confirmed it again and again, and had already guessed the only possibility in his mind, but he still refused to believe it.

He really couldn't accept it. He had practiced hard for more than ten years and had only barely mastered the Zixia magic skill to a small degree.

Others just read the secret book once, and in a moment they surpassed him.

Even if this person is his apprentice!
Even though he is in urgent need of strengthening the Huashan Sect!

For an instant.

Yue Buqun understood Li Anran’s doubts just now, but he also felt a sense of absurdity and unreality.

"Senior brother."

A familiar voice woke Yue Buqun from his trance.

Ning Zhongze heard the noise in the back hall and hurried in. Seeing Yue Buqun checking Li Anran's pulse, his heart sank and he asked worriedly, "Is there something wrong with Ran'er's cultivation of the Purple Cloud Divine Art?"

Yue Buqun barely came back to his senses, shook his head, and loosened his fingers.

Ning Zhongze finally breathed a sigh of relief, and with a hint of blame, he said to Li Anran: "Ran'er, Zixia Magic is the highest martial arts of our Huashan Sect. It cannot be mastered in a short time. You must not be impatient!"

“If you encounter something you don’t understand, you must come and ask your master frequently. Don’t try to figure it out on your own. What if…” Yue Buqun’s face turned red with embarrassment. He interrupted Ning Zhongze with a wry smile, “Junior sister, I’m afraid I can’t guide Ran’er.”

Ning Zhongze was stunned: "Brother, what do you mean?"

Yue Buqun didn't say anything, just looked up at Li Anran.

Li Anran understood and activated the Zixia magic skill again. In an instant, a rich purple aura spread over his face.

Ning Zhongze's eyes widened and he cried out, "Ran'er has already mastered the Purple Cloud Divine Art?"

Yue Buqun shook his head: "Not only has he mastered it, Ran'er's attainments in Zixia Magic Skill are even better than mine."

Ning Zhongze: "???"

Ning Zhongze stared at Yue Buqun blankly.

Even though Yue Buqun nodded at him affirmatively, he was unable to come back to his senses.

suddenly.

Ning Zhongze opened his eyes wide for a long time before stopping and looking around with a puzzled look on his face: "Why haven't you woken up yet?"

Yue Buqun: "..."

Li Anran: “…”

In fact, Li Anran himself did not expect that he could master the Zixia magic skill in an instant and directly reach such a profound level.

Li Anran had only practiced Huashan School's basic internal power "Hunyuan Gong" and his own secretly improved version of Hunyuan Gong before. He had an idea about the skill of "Internal Power", but it was not clear.

It was not until today when he was practicing Zixia Magical Art that he suddenly realized that what he had been improving through practice was the skill of [Internal Power], not Hunyuan Gong!

When he replaced "Hunyuan Gong" with "Zixia Shengong", the level and proficiency of [Internal Power] remained!

To put it simply, no matter what internal skills he practices, it can enhance his comprehension of all internal skills.

With this level 6 [Internal Power], practicing the Zixia Magical Art will be a piece of cake.

And Li Anran just blurted out to ask whether the Zixia magic skill is really the secret of the Huashan Sect.

It was because he found that the Zixia magic skill seemed not much stronger than his improved version of the Hunyuan skill!

Although he has not yet completed a full cycle of the Zixia magic art, he has not been able to gain any experience.

However, based on his experience over the years, after practicing the Zixia magic skill for one cycle, he could only gain 50 experience points at most!
Although this is far higher than the 5 points of Huashan's basic internal strength and the 29 points of his improved version of Hunyuan Gong!
But it was far from the peerless martial arts and secret that he had imagined!
His [Internal Strength] is now "lv6, 781311/1000000", and he still needs 218689 experience points to upgrade.

Even if the Purple Cloud Divine Art gave 50 experience points according to his highest estimate, and he practiced non-stop for 7 hours a day for full days, it would still take him about half a year to reach level !
And according to the system skill "the experience required for each level increase tenfold", if he wants to rely on Zixia magic to raise his [internal strength] to level 8, it will take at least 20 years.

As for level 9, don’t even think about it!
Li Anran felt a little worried.

Even the Huashan Sect's supreme martial art, the Zixia Divine Art, can only reach this level. What better options are there in the world?

"Junior sister, you are not dreaming. Although Ran'er is practicing Zixia Magic Skill for the first time, his progress and attainments in Zixia Magic Skill have surpassed mine."

Yue Buqun's smile was very forced.

He knew that he should be happy that his disciple had surpassed him and that he was more confident in dealing with the Songshan Sect.

However, he only felt a sense of emptiness and confusion in his heart, as if something had been taken away.

Yue Buqun suddenly felt a little tired, the kind of tired that was exhausting.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before, even when he was shouldering the heavy responsibility of revitalizing his sect alone and facing the terrifying power of the Songshan Sect.

"Ran'er, you should go back first. I am a little tired."

Yue Buqun waved his hand and turned to walk towards the inner room.
