About two hours later, I suddenly heard the sound of strings.

 Following, I saw a large group of people coming down from the mountain.

Headed by four girls, they are not only exactly the same in height and height, but also have the same appearance. They have average oval-shaped faces and eyes like dots of paint, and are very delicate and elegant. The only difference is the color of their clothes.

“Your Majesty, with the four swords of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, is here to greet the young knight. Please follow me up the mountain.” The four girls came to Xiang Nan and said in unison.

"Thank you, four sisters." Xiang Nangong said with cupped hands, and then walked all the way to Lingjiu Palace surrounded by everyone.

 After passing through eighteen natural dangers, we came to a huge stone castle.

Although it was not Xiang Nan’s first time here, he was still surprised after seeing this ancient castle.

In ancient times, there were neither cranes nor large-scale transportation equipment, but it was really remarkable that such a magnificent castle could be built on the top of a mountain.

 The manpower, material and financial resources consumed are almost unimaginable.

 Everyone entered the castle, passed through the two-story courtyard, and finally came to a hall.

I saw many people sitting on both sides of the hall, and a woman sitting in the middle. Although she was very beautiful, she was as thin as an eight-nine-year-old child.

Xiang Nan knew that she was the child's grandmother from Tianshan. Because she was practicing the Eight Wastelands and Liuhe Self-respecting Skill, when she was successful, she was accidentally disturbed by her junior sister Li Qiushui. As a result, she became obsessed and never grew up.

"My nephew You Tanzhi pays homage to my uncle!" Xiang Nan immediately stepped forward and saluted.

 “Get up.” Child Elder said.

 “Thank you, uncle.” Xiang Nan stood up and said.

“How is your master?” Child Elder asked again.

"Master is very good now." Xiang Nan nodded, "He asked me to express my sincere apology to Master. It was not his fault for letting you down back then."

 “Did he really say that?” Child Elder was suddenly shocked, her eyes widened, and she asked extremely excitedly.

 “How dare you lie, nephew?” Xiang Nan said immediately.

"Seventy years have passed... He finally realized his mistake..." Child Elder immediately burst into tears.

At that time, their master accepted three apprentices, Tong Lao, Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui.

 She and Li Qiu Shui both had a deep love for Wu Yazi, and they only hated her for being obsessed with magical skills, and her figure was always as thin as a dwarf. Therefore, Wu Yazi was only in love with Li Qiu Shui, which became the biggest hatred in her life.

She has lived in pain for seventy years, and now she finally gets an apology. How can she not be excited?

“Junior brother, I am always the best to you in this world, how can that **** compare to me!” Child Elder sighed again.

Xiang Nan stood silently and said nothing.

 …

Child Elder felt sorry for herself for a while, then she stopped crying, and then asked Xiang Nandao, "You came all the way, not just to visit me, right?"

"Yes, uncle." Xiang Nan nodded, "Master told me that the Xiaoyao sect's martial arts is divided into three parts, and the master gained the most profound and exquisite skills, so he sent me to learn from him."

"Yes." Child Elder nodded and saw the ring on Xiang Nan's hand, "Since junior brother has passed on the Seven Treasures Ring to you, you will be the leader of Xiaoyao Sect from now on. As the leader of Xiaoyao Sect, our martial arts Of course you have to learn. Just stay in Lingjiu Palace and learn from me."

“Yes, thank you very much, uncle.” Xiang Nan nodded.

Child Elder then ordered Yu Po of the Haotian tribe under her banner to prepare a room for Xiang Nan, "From now on, he will be the young master of Lingjiu Palace. You must respect him as you respect me." "Yes." Everyone obeyed the order.

The Lingjiu Palace is composed of women and is divided into nine divisions, namely Haotian, Yangtian, Chitian, Zhutian, Chengtian, Youtian, Xuantian, Luantian and Juntian.

  Xiang Nan was the only man on the mountain, which was originally a bit inconvenient. However, Child Elder has a very high prestige in Lingjiu Palace. She personally rescued these women back then, so everyone is grateful to her and swears to serve her to the death.

 That's why when Child Elder asked everyone to respect Xiang Nan as they respected her, they happily obeyed.

After all, Xiang Nan was an emperor and the owner of three thousand beauties in the harem. Although there are many beauties in the Vulture Palace, he has long been used to seeing them, and he is not in a state of confusion, love, excitement, ugly appearance, and embarrassment.

 Child Elder looked at it silently and couldn't help but nod secretly.

The beauty can still be controlled at the moment, this nephew is really not easy.

 …

 In the following time, Xiang Nan stayed in Lingjiu Palace and studied the profound martial arts of Xiaoyao Sect with Tong Lao.

 Including Bahuang Liuhe Weizunzong Shen Gong, Tianshan Liuyang Palm, Tianshan Plum Breaking Hand, Life and Death Talisman, etc.

Tianshan Liuyang Palm and Tianshan Plum Blossom Palm were stamped by Mr. Jin Yong himself and are better than the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms of the Beggar Clan and the Dog Beating Stick Technique.

 But in fact, these two martial arts are only the shallowest part of the Lingjiu Palace's martial arts.

Because the murals in the Lingjiu Palace Grottoes are marked by the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Tianshan Liuyang Palm and the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand are only ranked in the A and Z sizes.

 Following this there are eight to nine hundred murals, each of which represents a type of martial arts. Even Tong Lao was proficient in martial arts and never used the second move to kill people, nor did she fully practice the unique skills on this mural.

Therefore, Xiang Nan was naturally overjoyed to see these unique skills.

 For him, the more martial arts, the higher the power, the better. He has plenty of time to practice anyway.

"Master Nephew, you have a solid foundation in internal energy and are very suitable for practicing the Eight Desolate and Liuhe Self-respecting Divine Art." Child Elder said to Xiang Nan, "I was too anxious back then and started practicing at the age of six, so that I stopped growing at the age of eighty-nine. You It’s just good practice now.”

Although his internal strength is mainly inherited from Yang Kang, Song Qingshu and Li Mubai, fortunately, all three of them are from the Taoist lineage and are relatively pure.

 Bahuang Liuhe only respects the magical power, and it must be based on superior internal power before it can be practiced easily. But the child's elder was too strong-willed and had to start practicing at the age of six. Although he finally succeeded in practicing it, his height has not grown at all since he was eighty-nine years old.

In comparison, Xiang Nan has a very pure internal strength foundation, and he has grown up at the age of seventeen, so he is just right to practice this skill.

“Yes, uncle.” Xiang Nan nodded.

 …

Xiang Nan stayed in Lingjiu Palace for more than half a year. Not only did he learn many magical skills, including the Talisman of Life and Death, Tianshan Liuyang Palm, Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, and Bahuang Liuhe Only Self-Supreme Skill, but he also browsed through the collections in Lingjiu Palace. of medical books and pharmacopoeia.

To be honest, Tong Lao is worthy of being the great disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. She has acquired the most martial arts skills and the most classics. If it hadn't been for love and given up the position of leader to Wu Yazi, she would have become the leader of Xiaoyao Sect.

However, Xiang Nan also faced a huge problem after he practiced, that is, his internal strength could not keep up.

 The martial arts of the Xiaoyao sect takes "accumulating internal strength" as the first priority. Since my inner strength is strong, I can use all the martial arts in the world, just like the Northern Ming Dynasty, I can carry all the big and small boats, no matter how big or small the fish is. Therefore, internal strength is the basis and tricks are the end.

Although Xiang Nan also practiced Bahuang Liuhe Weizunzong Shen Gong, Yi Jin Jing, Shen Zu Jing, Jiu Yin Zhen Jing, Jiu Yang Shen Gong, Xiao Wu Xiang Gong, Sunflower Book, Tai Xuan Jing and other top internal skills and mental skills, the speed of internal strength improvement has been It was fast, but it was still not enough to practice the magical skills of Xiaoyao Sect.

 When he reached the C-size Xuanji Finger Technique and the Yin-size Hunyuan Kick Technique, his internal strength was already exhausted, so he needed to urgently improve his internal strength.
