Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 3 Old woman, you have done all your bad things!
Mentioning the old sword sage surnamed Yu, Jiang Shan couldn't help showing a trace of admiration and gratitude on his face.

Back then, he was seriously injured on the battlefield. Not only was his arm cut off, but his martial arts cultivation also fell from the first rank in the innate life star realm to the tenth rank in the acquired life.

Seeing that his will was depressed, the prince dragged him to the palace, where he took a job in the Sutra Pavilion. At the same time, he also hoped that he could read more books and learn a few martial arts by the way, so that he might be able to return to the innate realm .

However, after Jiang Shan practiced more than a dozen martial arts in a row, he found that his learning was miscellaneous but not refined, so that the barriers of realms not only did not become thinner, but became more and more difficult to break.

This made him feel ashamed.

Until the old sword sage surnamed Yu came to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

In the first year of his arrival, the old sword master never communicated with Jiang Shan, and he seldom spoke. Only late at night, after defeating his opponent, would he open his mouth to give him a few words.

Jiang Shan is also very witty, never bothering him, nor peeking at the old sword master's sparring with others.

But one day in the second year, the old sword master asked him for a jug of wine.

Jiang Shan seized the only chance in this life.

He was ecstatic, and spent all his wealth to buy a pot of Immortal Drunk that the prince pressed under the bed.

So, that night he was allowed to watch the battle from the sidelines.

After returning from victory, the old Juggernaut passed on his self-created "Drunken Sword" No.13 sword.

Relying on this sword, Jiang Shan not only broke through the realm barrier and returned to Xiantian, but also broke through again six years later, and was promoted to the second-rank Haoyue realm of Xiantian.

In other words, Jiang Shan can be regarded as half a disciple of the old Juggernaut.

Of course, the old Juggernaut must be ashamed and won't admit it.

"Young master, do you want to learn the old man's swordsmanship?"

Jiang Qingyu nodded:
"Who doesn't want to learn the art of the sword master?"

He looked down at the "Drunken Sword" in his hand, trying to find a message left by the old sword master.

However, Jiang Shan opened his mouth to break his fantasy:

"My lord, you don't need to search. After the old sword master left, the second lady transferred the originals of the thousands of books he had borrowed to the incense burner yard where the second lord was. The "Drunken Sword" in your hand was found by the lord later. copied by people."

"In addition to the books, the second lady even changed the entire bookshelf of the Sutra Library."

"So, even if the old man leaves any information, it will only be obtained by the second son."

"..."

Jiang Qingyu was stunned.

I have to say, his second wife is really... an old woman who has done all sorts of bad things!

But then again...

If he changed the other party's position, he might be more ruthless than Jiang Jing's mother and son.

"Old Juggernaut, I hope you pat your ass and leave, but don't leave behind any peerless secrets!"

Jiang Qingyu kept praying in her heart.

The second brother, Jiang Qingjian, is only 22 years old this year, and his martial arts cultivation has already reached the eighth rank of Houtian. He is ranked No. 11 on the list of Chu's sons, and he is expected to be promoted to Xiantian before the age of 25.

If he gets the inheritance of the old sword master, even if it is just a little bit, it may make his ranking jump up a few places.

At that time, the second mother, Jiang Jing, and her mother's family, the Jiang family of Yongzhou, will work again, and maybe the second brother will really become the heir of the royal family.

Although Jiang Qingyu didn't care much about power, but...

"That should be the position of big brother Jiang Qingshu!"

"Brother was a hostage in the capital and endured humiliation for 12 years. In order to prevent the suspicion of the emperor of Chu, even if he was not badly talented, he could not be allowed to practice martial arts. He could only go to Jixia Academy to be a student of learning. If it wasn't for winning the first place in the school test last year and being appreciated by the crown prince, it might have been forgotten by other people in the palace long ago!"

"I can't let the position of the eldest son that should belong to him fall into the hands of Jiang Jing's mother and son!"

Jiang Shan couldn't hear Jiang Qingyu's inner voice, but he had stayed in the palace for more than ten years, so he still had a little understanding of the Sigongzi's situation.

Outsiders only think that the fourth son is a sick child, lying in bed all day, not learning literature, not practicing martial arts, and never even going to brothels, so there are rumors that the fourth son is disabled in the lower body, unable to bear children, and cannot sit on the throne at all.

Even the prince himself has no expectations for this son.

Today the second son Jiang Qingjian came back from meritorious service, the prince ordered all the family members to go outside the north gate to welcome him, but the fourth son Jiang Qingyu came to the Sutra Pavilion at this time, saying that he would start practicing martial arts.

"The fourth son must be unwilling."

Jiang Shan sighed.

Sometimes he also can't understand some of the style of the second lady, but he has to admit that the second son is much better than the fourth son at present, and he is more suitable to be the heir of the palace.

"Uncle Jiang Shan, it's time to accompany me to the sixth floor."

Jiang Qingyu quickly adjusted her emotions and put the "Drunken Sword" back on the shelf.

He did not forget the purpose of this trip, which was to find a suitable book of martial arts.

Jiang Shan nodded and continued to lead the way.

"Boom, boom..."

The stairs of the Sutra Pavilion are made of special stone, which makes a lot of noise when walking on it.

It is said that this kind of design is to be discovered and caught in time when thieves come in to steal books.

But Jiang Qingshu thinks that this institution is useless.

After all, as long as you are an innate master, you can go upstairs without making a sound.

As for the thieves in the acquired realm...

With so many dark guards raised in the palace, they would never be allowed to get close to the scripture storage pavilion in the middle of Qianjian Lake.

What's more, in just a short time of going upstairs, Jiang Qingyu discovered with her vast soul power that there were no less than ten innate breaths hidden in the dark!

Even though they are all innate first-rank Fate Star Realm.

Jiang Shan, who was born in the second grade of Haoyue Realm, led the way ahead. Even if Jiang Qingyu did not refuse the northern king's warrant, the guards who were hiding in the dark did not show up to prevent him from going to the sixth floor.

Soon the two reached the sixth floor.

On the sixth floor there is a tightly closed iron door, three feet high and two feet wide, with a large python carved on the left and right sides of the door.

Jiang Shan introduced:
"This iron gate is three feet thick. In a short period of time, it will be difficult for the masters of the second innate level of the Bright Moon Realm to break through. As for the existence of the third innate level of the Luminous Sun Realm, you only need to visit the door, and if you are sincere enough, the prince will order you I opened the sixth floor and let him borrow the books inside."

Jiang Qingyu nodded.

He had heard of the latter for a long time. The old sword master surnamed Yu ten years ago was an example.

Jiang Shan took out the key and opened the door, and walked into the room on the sixth floor first.

Jiang Qingyu followed closely behind.

The first time she stepped into the room, Jiang Qingyu probed secretly with her soul power, and found that the room was not as big as she imagined, and the space inside was only enough for a bookshelf and a table.

Can't even hide a hidden guard.

Jiang Qingyu walked to the bookshelf and started flipping through them.

There are only a dozen or so books on the bookshelf, each of which was written by the legend of the innate fourth-rank star-picking realm.

It's a pity that they are all fragments, and there is not even a book of exercises, they are all martial arts moves.

This result disappointed Jiang Qingyu.

No matter how good martial arts are, it can only make people stronger in a certain realm, and it cannot help people break the shackles.

But kung fu is the same as talent, it determines the upper limit of a person's practice,
There is only one innate fifth-grade exercise in the entire Chu Kingdom, called "Raising the Dragon Jue", and only every emperor is qualified to practice it.

Not even the prince!

There are more than a dozen innate fourth-grade exercises, but they are all in the hands of the royal family and a few legendary figures who created their own exercises to break the shackles of the realm.

Jiang Qingyu originally thought that there would be a private collection in the palace, even if there were only fragments about the practice of the tenth rank of the day after tomorrow.

But it didn't.

Although the remnants of martial arts at the fourth rank of Xiantian are good, they can't practice with his physical body which is inferior to the first rank of Acquired.

Since he couldn't find the exercises, this trip was obviously in vain.

Perhaps it was because of this outcome that his father allowed him to have a chance to go to the sixth floor.

"Let's go, Uncle Jiang Shan."

"None of the books here are for me."

Jiang Qingyu couldn't hide her disappointment.

However, just when he was about to turn around and leave, Jiang Shan beside him was looking straight in one direction, with a complicated expression, and kept murmuring to himself:

"I, I've waited!"

Feeling baffled, Jiang Qingyu followed the other person's gaze——

I saw a piece of inconspicuous willow branch on the ground behind the huge iron gate, which was exuding a crystal light at the moment, like jasper.

Jiang Qingyu recognized it.

"That is……"

"The sword used by the old sword master when he sparred with others!"
