Hong Tian Xiao did not have the Dark Mysterious Palm Force in his body, so he could only cultivate the Nine Yang Divine Technique step by step. Therefore, just the first volume was a whole year slower than Zhang Wuji. Back then, Zhang Wuji only spent four months to cultivate the first stage of the Nine Yang Divine Technique, but Hong Tian Xiao spent a full year and four months. Hong Tian Xiao did not know the reason for this. He only knew that his aptitude was not as good as Zhang Wuji. He was also extremely depressed in his heart. However, although he was depressed, he still had to continue cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Technique. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for Hong Tian Xiao to leave this cave with his current figure.
The second volume only recorded the second level of the Nine Yang Divine Technique. With the foundation of the first level, Hong Tian Xiao naturally had a much easier time cultivating the second level. By the time Hong Tian Xiao finished cultivating the second stage of the Nine Yang Divine Technique, the time he used was almost half of the time he used to cultivate the first stage. He only spent eight months, less than three months more than Zhang Wuji. This made Hong Tian Xiao very curious, but he did not know why.
In fact, Hong Tian Xiao would never know that the first stage of Nine Yang Divine Skill, Nine Yang Gathering Qi, was to first form Nine Yang True Qi in the body, which was also Xiantian True Qi. Then, he would use Nine Yang True Qi to cultivate the second stage, the dense purple qi. Hong Tian Xiao himself had a huge advantage, and that was that he had ten years of Minor Formless Divine Art's power stored in his dantian. Otherwise, the second level would have taken him three years.
As mentioned before, the marvel of this Minor Formless Divine Technique was that when Hong Tian Xiao cultivated the first stage of the Nine Yang Divine Technique and cultivated the Nine Yang True Qi in his dantian, the ten years of Minor Formless Divine Technique's power would naturally be converted into Nine Yang True Qi. In the past, when people who cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Technique completed the first stage, it was impossible for them to have eleven years of Nine Yang Divine Technique. Therefore, the further they cultivated, the slower their speed became. Although Zhang Wuji still had the Xuanming Palm Force in his body, he had already completely absorbed it when he was cultivating the second level. As a result, he could no longer cultivate the third, fourth, and fifth levels as quickly as he did.
The second stage only took eight months, and Hong Tian Xiao's ambition was raised once again. He did not dare to waste any time and took out the third scroll. Just like the second volume, the third volume was the cultivation mnemonic chant for the third level of the Nine Yang Divine Technique, the Coiling Dragon True Technique. What made Hong Tian Xiao a little depressed was that back then, Zhang Wuji used more than a year to complete the third level, but Hong Tian Xiao actually used two and a half years.
However, when he was cultivating the fourth and fifth stages of the Nine Yang Divine Technique, his speed had obviously slowed down. The fourth and fifth stages had taken him three years and nearly two years respectively, but he still had not mastered them. There was not much difference between them. Hong Tian Xiao carefully calculated the time. Almost ten years had passed. He could not help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that Zhang Wuji's Dark Mysterious Divine Palm had really become a good thing. However, what Hong Tian Xiao did not expect was that if Zhang Wuji did not meet the greedy Zhu Changling by accident, he would have died from the poison.
In ten years, Hong Tian Xiao had grown into a twenty-two-year-old youth. The clothes he wore earlier were already tattered and did not fit him well. Half of his forearm and calf were exposed. Fortunately, when he had cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill to the second level, he was already immune to the cold and heat. However, such clothes were very inelegant on his body.
If he wanted to achieve the great success of Nine Yang Divine Skill, he would probably need another year. Hong Tian Xiao did not want to stay here to cultivate any longer. He had the thought of returning to the Divine Dragon Island. Hong Tian Xiao still kept the original copy of the Nine Yang Divine Technique sealed in the cave, but he changed the " Zhang Wuji's Burial Place " to " Hong Tian Xiao's Burial Place ". He only brought Hu Qingniu's " Classic of Medicine " and Wang Nangu's " Classic of Poison " with him. In the past ten years, Hong Tian Xiao had only been focused on cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Technique, and had not even bothered to read these two books.
After Hong Tian Xiao left the mountain, he had another thought. He did not return to the Godly Dragon Island, but left some marks along the way. Sure enough, that night, a disciple from the Azure Dragon Sect of the Divine Dragon Cult came to the inn where Hong Tian Xiao was staying. Hong Tian Xiao had already written a letter and asked this person to bring it to the Divine Dragon Sect and hand it over to Hong Antong. At the same time, he also asked for some gold and silver items as travel expenses.
After settling down, Hong Tian Xiao stayed in the inn for two months, memorizing the contents of the 'Classic of Medicine' and 'Classic of Poison'. Only when he memorized every single word did he burn the two ultimate skills that everyone dreamed of. He laughed loudly and left the inn, heading for Yangzhou.
The reason Hong Tian Xiao chose to go to Yangzhou was naturally related to Wei Xiao Bao. It was currently the seventh year of Kangxi. The Kangxi Emperor had killed the crafty minister Oboi the following year, but Wei Xiaobao had entered the palace this year. Ever since Hong Tianxiao came to this world, he had the ambition to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, he did not want Wei Xiaobao to enter the palace to help Kangxi kill Oboi, pacify the three vassals, pacify Taiwan, and destroy the Dragon God. Therefore, only by stopping Wei Xiaobao from entering the palace could he completely change the development of the original book.
Yangzhou City had been a prosperous place since ancient times. In the Tang Dynasty, Du Mu had a poem: "Ten years of dreaming of Yangzhou, winning the reputation of being a prostitute.”The ancients said that the joy of life is nothing more than a hundred thousand dollars tied to the waist, riding a crane down Yangzhou. Since Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug the canal, Yangzhou was located in the canal and was a place where water transport from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces must pass through. At the end of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they were gathered by salt merchants and became the richest in the world.
The biggest brothel in Yangzhou was Mingyu Square by the Skinny West Lake. It was the gathering place of all the brothels in Jiangnan. Mingyu Lane occupied an area of more than 50 acres and had a total of eight courtyards. They were Yingchun Yard and Xiaochun Yard in the north, Lichun Yard and Yuchun Yard in the south, Nuanchun Yard and Changchun Yard in the east, Xuanchun Yard and Liuchun Yard in the west. Among them, the most famous were the Lichun Yard and the Spring Stay Yard. The reason was that these two were the best in Yangzhou for their beauty. They were Yuan Xiuping of the Lichun Yard and Zi Huailan of the Spring Stay Yard.
Three months ago, an extremely handsome and elegant young master came to the Beautiful Spring Courtyard. He was very generous and booked a superior room in the Beautiful Spring Courtyard. It seemed that he treated the Beautiful Spring Courtyard as an inn. What made the brothel keeper and the others feel strange was that this young master actually did not want a girl. He only came to listen to Miss Xiu Ping play music and drink tea every day. After that, he went back to his room alone. This person was none other than Hong Tianxiao, who had just come out of Jianghu. Even though it was expensive to book a room in the Richspring Courtyard, Hong Tianxiao had the backing of the Divine Dragon Island after all. This bit of money was nothing.
The reason Hong Tian Xiao was staying in Li Chun Court was to wait for Mao Shi Ba. In the original book, Salt Owl came to Li Chun Court to find Jia Lao Jiu of the Heaven and Earth Society, but he met Mao Shi Ba, who saw injustice on the road. That was why there was a fight. Wei Xiao Bao helped Mao Shi Ba and followed him, which led to Wei Xiao Bao's series of fortuitous encounters. Hong Tian Xiao was waiting for Mao Shi Ba to stop Wei Xiao Bao from helping Mao Shi Ba. When Mao Shi Ba and Salt Owl clashed, he would step forward and Wei Xiao Bao's plot would naturally disappear.
