Chapter 21

"My father is in the study. I'll take you there."

The young man led Xu Ning to the study.

At the door, the young man took the lead in: "Dad, Xu Ning came to visit."

"Xu Ning? Let him in."

Outside, Xu Ning heard Tao Yunmeng's voice.

After that, the young man came out: "Xu Ning, go in."

Xu Ning thanked softly, handed the gift to the young man and went into the study.

"Uncle Meng."

Xu Ning saw Tao Yunmeng with a lamp in front of his desk.

Behind him stood a bookshelf full of books.

Judging from Tao Yun's fierce physique, he has a slight sense of contrast holding books.

"Xu Ning, sit down."

Seeing Xu Ning, Tao Yunmeng put down the book in his hand and asked Xu Ning to sit down.

He had a smile on his face and an appreciation for his younger generation in his eyes.

Tao Yunmeng had an excellent impression of Xu Ning.

Before Xu Ning's solo practice to the great success of gale sabre, Tao Yunmeng remembered Xu Ning's outstanding talent.

After the conversation, he also found that Xu Ning was a modest and polite man.

After that, the young people who were optimistic about him in advance took risks to save people, were brave and righteous, and made themselves firm in their affirmation of Xu Ning.

So Tao Yunmeng was glad to see Xu Ning come to visit.

"What have you been doing lately?"

Although Xu Ning came for help, Tao Yunmeng took the initiative.

"Cultivate internal skills and go into the mountain to collect medicine."

Xu Ning answered truthfully.

Tao Yunmeng nodded: "internal skill is the foundation of cultivation. You must pay attention to it. Although it is very difficult to cultivate internal skill, you will benefit immensely after cultivation. Don't disturb your mind because entering the country is slower than cultivating external skill."

Tao Yunmeng didn't ask Xu Ning about his progress, but gave some suggestions directly.

It's only more than 20 days since Xu Ning got his internal skill. In his cognition, Xu Ning can't cultivate his internal skill at all.

"I see, uncle Meng."

Xu Ning didn't take the initiative to tell the fact that he had been promoted to the state of muscles and bones.

It is not too late to show it when it is necessary to expose its strength in the future.

"What's the income from collecting herbs in the mountains? If the income is average, I can entrust someone to arrange you a job with a higher income."

Tao Yunmeng knows that Xu Ning's family is average, and cultivating martial arts itself needs to nourish with medicinal materials and even miraculous drugs from time to time, which consumes a lot.

"The income is good, but I have some trouble when I encounter beasts in the mountain."

Xu Ning answered truthfully.

"How to trouble?"

Xu Ning said it deliberately. Tao Yunmeng guessed that this was the purpose of Xu Ning's visit.

"It takes a lot of trouble to escape when you encounter a beast. If you fight directly, you will be easily injured in close combat." Xu Ning didn't hide it and directly explained his intention. "I'm here to learn the external skill of door bow."

"Learn bow external skill?"

Tao Yunmeng heard the speech and slowly locked his eyebrows.

"Yes, uncle Meng."

Xu Ning nodded.

Tao Yunmeng put down the book in his hand and gently tapped his fingers on the table. He raised his eyebrows and eyes: "Xu Ning, you know, on the premise that you have achieved great success in cultivating a skill, your energy should be more focused on cultivating internal skills. External skills are not fundamental after all. Learning more external skills will not bring a qualitative improvement to your strength."

"Generally speaking, people who practice the second external skill have no choice but to improve their internal skills. If you don't practice internal skills and external skills now, you will waste your talent."

Tao Yunmeng's tone was very sincere.

"Uncle Meng, I know."

Xu Ning also has his own words: "however, practicing bow is very important for me to protect my life in Yunze mountain. Only by protecting my integrity can I obtain resources and lay a foundation for practicing internal skills. Moreover, even if I practice bow, I won't delay my internal skill progress."

Tao Yunmeng heard the speech and was silent for a moment. He thought what Xu Ning said was reasonable.

He finally let go: "well, in that case, I'll give you a bow."

"Thank you, uncle Meng."

Xu Ning quickly got up to thank him.

Tao Yun waved his hand fiercely and told him, "but you have to remember for me. For bowing, try it. Don't delve deeply, but delay your internal skill."

"Remember, uncle Meng."

Xu Ning answered.

After that, Tao Yun rushed out of the study and left Xu Ning waiting alone.

After a while, Tao Yunmeng came back with an old book in his hand.

"When I was young, I bought it from a poor martial artist." Tao Yunmeng explained, "I was still in the hunter team in the villa. I learned bow to defend myself in Yunze mountain. However, I didn't continue to study it after I reached a small success."

With that, Tao Yun suddenly put the book in Xu Ning's hand.

Xu Ning took over, and the four words "light feather bow" were engraved on the cover.

"Thank you, uncle Meng."

Xu Ning thanks again.

After getting the bow, Tao Yunmeng made some simple exchanges with Xu Ning.

During the exchange process, Tao Yunmeng is basically imparting experience to Xu Ning.

He really appreciates Xu Ning, a young man.

Xu Ning also has an open-minded attitude of studying. Although he can't use what Tao Yunmeng said, he has more knowledge.

After that, Xu Ning said goodbye to Tao Yunmeng.

Once again, Xu Ning got the help of taojiazhuang elders.

……

Yunze mountain.

Inner ring.

There are many beasts and no people here. There are risks everywhere.

At this time, a young man with a knife at his waist and a bow in his hand shuttled between the steep slopes of the jungle. Behind him, a leopard as big as a tiger was frantically chasing.

The leopard is extremely sensitive and can easily avoid all kinds of obstacles.

But even so, the distance between it and the young man in front is still not significantly closer.

"After I was promoted to the muscle and bone state, my body became strong, and my explosive power and endurance were not the same as before."

The young man pursued by the leopard is naturally Xu Ning.

At the moment, although Xu Ning was chased by beasts, his expression was still relaxed and he couldn't see any pressure.

This is almost different from the performance of meeting the black wolf for the first time before.

"Tired..."

After a long time of unsuccessful pursuit, Xu Ning found that the leopard behind him was a little slower.

The leopard has poor endurance.

"In that case, it's my turn to take the initiative."

Xu Ning ran to one side of the hillside. Soon, he reached a high position.

At this time, Xu Ning turned around and looked down at the leopard.

The leopard saw the prey suddenly stop and have a counterattack posture, and stopped slowly.

It bared its teeth, its eyes were fierce, and its throat purred.

"Light feather bow..."

Xu Ning pulled the bow and string, and shot an arrow.

Prior to this, Xu Ning has promoted his light feather bow technique to the realm of Xiaocheng.

This consumes 4 units of energy and has 2 units of energy left.

Whoosh!

The arrow turned into a shadow and shot at the leopard quickly.

The leopard immediately felt a sense of crisis, and the beast's instinct made it make a sensitive dodge to avoid Xu Ning's arrow.

However, just after the leopard felt that it had avoided a crisis, an arrow flew again.

This time, it's three arrows!

The three arrows lined up in turn and shot at the leopard.

This is Xu Ning's achievement in practicing light feather bow.

The greatest feature of light feather bow is that the arrows are very fast and the interval is very short, which makes it difficult for the enemy to avoid.

The leopard let out a scream.

Its voice is very sharp and thin, which is clearly different from the roar of beasts.

Xu Ning's three flying arrows just now were empty.

The remaining two arrows hit the leopard in the back hip, and one arrow scratched the leopard's back.

At this time, the leopard finally found that its prey had become a hunter.

Almost without hesitation, the injured leopard made a flight response.

But Xu Ning obviously didn't want to let it go.

He ran down from a high place, and with the help of inertia, he jumped several meters in one step, and the frequency was very fast.

Xu Ning pursued while drawing a bow and shooting an arrow.

Whoosh!

The arrows continued to chase.

Although the leopard was injured, it was flexible under the crisis, and most of Xu Ning's arrows were biased.

But even if only a few arrows hit the leopard, it was bleeding.

The leopard slowed down and Xu Ning pursued it.

This time, Xu Ning hid his bow and changed his knife and chased after him with a knife.

Pooh Pooh.

Several knives were cut down, and the leopard was killed by Xu Ning.

"It's a pity that I lost my fur. There are several holes in it."

Xu Ning pulled out the arrow from the leopard and stuffed it back into the quiver.

Previous bursts of fire have left the quiver empty.

Then Xu Ning took out his short knife and began to cut fur.
