In the first year, you opened the Devouring Heaven Dan Scripture and began to comprehend its true meaning word by word. You are no longer the outsider who was ignorant of martial arts as before; after years of practice, you have already developed your own understanding of martial arts.

  In the second year, you nodded thoughtfully and decided to skip over the content that you couldn't understand, planning to use later explanations to infer the earlier text. You marveled at your own cleverness and flipped the book to the second page.

  “……”

  Looking at the prompts flashing on the panel, Shen Yi finally gave up his illusions.

  The actual problem is not the lifespan of the demon, as long as you kill a few more demons, you can always make up for it. The most troublesome thing is that after the derivation is over, the negative emotions accumulated in the panel for many years will come flooding back.

  The more difficult martial arts is, the stronger this feeling will be.

  Especially in a situation where there is no progress at all, that kind of despair almost drowns the whole person.

  In the 234th year, your mind is filled with endless confusion, and you even begin to doubt whether you are suitable for practicing martial arts... No, you feel that the content of this book has nothing to do with martial arts, and you are clearly a genius at tempering your body, why waste time on such useless things.

  Shen Yi temporarily stopped infusing Youmo Shouyuan's lifespan.

  Closed his eyes and digested the sudden surge of nausea for a moment, until his mood calmed down, he looked at the dashboard again.

  More than two hundred years of life, but all I got was a head full of question marks.

  He was just about to continue casting the Demon's Life Span when a figure in black clothes walked into the courtyard.

  "General Jiang! How did you come here?" Jiang Chengyun hastily stood up, he thought that the other party would at least rest for a night in the Ji Wang Fu, and even if they returned to Wu Miao, General Jiang as the Demon-Suppressing General should have gone to the right courtyard.

  Jiang Qiu Lan looked as calm as usual, but softly said: "The Wang Fei is planning to prepare a banquet to celebrate the Shizi's return, and would like to invite you all to attend. Tomorrow evening, at that time, the Ji Wang will also be returning to the manor."

  Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengyun's expression changed slightly: "The princess invites you to a banquet? And me?"

  It's obvious that the reason for his surprise lies in the latter. It's only natural for the Wang Manor to want to get close to General Shen, but as an ordinary silver bell demon catcher, he doesn't have the qualifications to attract the other party's attention.

  Jiang Qiu Lan shook her head: "Not the princess consort, but the crown prince."

  She said, turning her gaze to Shen Yi beside the table.

  Jiang Chengyun was still puzzled and was about to ask a few more questions, but he saw that Officer Jiang had already stepped inside the house and sat down opposite the young man.

  "If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me." Jiang Qiulan was also practicing the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique.

  “……”

  Shen Yi suddenly reacted as well, probably because he was used to the demonic martial arts before, and almost forgot that the greatest advantage of a warrior's kung fu... is that it is a path that has already been walked by others, and there is no need to start from scratch again.

  At this moment, someone who has gone before is sitting right in front of you.

  He wouldn't be polite anymore, first carefully breaking down the confusion in his mind into specific questions, and then asking the other person for guidance.

  Jiang Qiulan listened quietly to Shen Yi's words, until half a stick of incense later, the other party still didn't show any signs of stopping, and finally, a hint of unusual color emerged in her clear eyes.

  I stayed in the palace for just a few more hours, not months.

  The other party has already had some insight into the Swallowing Heaven Dan Chi method.

  What a wonderful insight, no wonder you can learn the Jade Liquid Boundary Extreme Art that Jiang Yuanhua is proud of in just a few days.

  "That's about it." Shen Yi took a breath, accepted the hot tea handed over by Jiang Chengyun, and slightly moistened her throat.

  Although he had already sorted out his thoughts in his mind, many problems still seemed to be confusing and disorderly. Jiang Qiulan listened only once, pondered for a moment, then took over the Swallowing Heaven Dan method, with her fingers pointing at the page, analyzing each word and sentence for him.

  Jiang Chengyun poured tea for the two of them, and a few moments of daze flashed in his eyes.

  Who am I? Where am I? What is this about?

  Forget it, just nod anyway, otherwise it doesn't look very harmonious.

  He nodded from time to time, forcing a look of being deeply moved.

  "Can't you be more specific?" Shen Yi raised her head.

  If the original Tian Dan Chi Fa was a mouthful of iron nails that were hard to swallow, then even if this woman chewed them up and fed them to herself again, they would still be difficult to swallow.

  "A rare look of difficulty flashed across Jiang Qiulan's delicate face."

  "Never mind, Miss Jiang, please go on."

  Shen Yi could see that his opponent had already done their best, but he was indeed struggling to keep up. Fortunately, though, Iron Slag was still easier to digest than Iron Nail.

  He committed his opponent's interpretation to memory: "I'll think about it some more myself."

  Afraid of forgetting for a moment, Shen Yi quickly opened the panel, and the demon's lifespan poured into it.

  The young man fell into deep thought.

  Jiang Qiu Lan calmed down again and stopped disturbing him.

  About every time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shen Yi would come back to his senses from deep thought and raise new questions.

  Each time it makes Jiang Qiu Lan's calm heart surge with a hint of astonishment, the other party's comprehension speed is simply terrifying.

  His questions sometimes seem particularly superficial, but as soon as they are explained a little, the young man thinks for a moment and immediately understands.

  This is a typical lack of basic practice knowledge, completely relying on innate intuition, and forcibly pushing it through!

  She gazed quietly at Shen Yi's face, very curious about what kind of brain could be so clever as to make herself feel somewhat ashamed.

  As time slowly passes by.

  Shen Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of spiritual light for the last time.

  In the six hundred and seventy-ninth year, you finally mastered the Heaven-Devouring Dan's technique of devouring the heavens, and also understood the terrifying difference between the internal elixir condensed by this technique and ordinary internal elixirs. You began to attempt to condense the dan...

  Jiang Chengyun had just brewed a pot of hot tea when he saw Mr. Jiang slowly get up, and couldn't help but feel some confusion: "Mr. Jiang, why aren't you continuing to speak?"

  Jiang Qiulan looked at the young man with a complex expression, her eyes falling on the black knife at his waist, then gazing out at the horizon, a hint of emotion in her eyes.

  According to the records, the other party beheaded the Ape Demon of Baiyun County and brought back the old friend's dagger.

  She never set foot in Yang'an County, not because she was afraid of those little monsters at the beginning, but because she didn't want to let bygones be bygones.

  Steps that dare not stop forever, chasing is the guilt in the heart.

  If I had worked harder back then...

  Until Shen Yi appeared in the broken temple on Xitai Mountain, she suddenly got a moment of relaxation, as if an old friend carrying a sword came back and accompanied herself again.

  But what was in front of her finally made Jiang Qiulian wake up.

  Shen Yi is not a substitute for anyone, just like that ink knife that is about to be replaced. Qingzhou cannot retain such a stunning and talented person, yet he still has to continue pursuing.

  “……”

  Jiang Qiulang withdrew her cold gaze and said softly, "When you get a new Noble Phantasm, can you give me that sword?"

  Upon hearing this, Shen Yi's expression flashed with confusion.

  After all, others are also making an effort to help themselves study, and previously they even sent over three Condensed Dan Round Full Moon Demon Kings' heads. He didn't mind giving up a single weapon from the Initial Boundary Demon, but he just couldn't understand what made this thing worthy of attention from a strong Dan boundary master.

  "I want to keep it as a memento." Jiang Qiulan seemed to have never asked anyone for anything, and seeing the young man's unusual expression, she added another explanatory sentence.

  Ka-chunk

  Jiang Chengyun's teapot fell to the ground, his face filled with astonishment, and then anxiety surged in his eyes.

  How can this be? The minds of the two masters are not focused on replacing that group of old things, how did they start messing with these messy things! Confusing!
