The Strongest Qi Refiner

Ouyang Xiuyuan's eyes widened, his eyes were full of surprise and excitement.

He looked at Fang Yu in front of him, and various images from many years ago flashed in his mind.

Back then, he and Huai Xu were just two people who didn't understand anything, and only had a savage stunned youth.

If he hadn't met Fang Yu, he and Huai Xu would have lived an ordinary life just like most people in the world.

"Some time ago, Huaixu informed me that you had returned to the Northern Capital and saw the dog become enlightened... I rushed back immediately, I just arrived this morning, I didn't expect..." Ouyang Xiuyuan was so excited that he was a little incoherent, staring at the man in front of him. Fang Yu.

Fang Yu went around the coffee table, sat opposite Ouyang Xiuyuan, and said with a smile, "I happened to be here today too. I sat downstairs for a while, sensed your breath, and came up."

Ouyang Xiuyuan immediately stood up and poured a cup of tea for Fang Yu.

"Brother Fang, Xiuyuan respects you for this cup of tea." Ouyang Xiuyuan bent down and offered the cup with both hands.

"Okay, don't do so much red tape." Fang Yu took the teacup and said.

Ouyang Xiu sat back to his seat, watching Fang Yu take a sip of tea, his mood calmed down a lot.

"Brother Fang, you are still the same as before, nothing has changed." Ouyang Xiuyuan smiled.

"In my eyes, your change is not too big." Fang Yu said.

Ouyang Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "I'm getting old, Brother Fang, I'm really getting old."

"Everyone gets old. But your spirit is much better than that of being empty." Fang Yu smiled.

"Huaixu... He has too many things to worry about." Ouyang Xiuyuan said with his eyes narrowed, "Compared to him, my life is much easier."

"What have you been doing all these years?" Fang Yu asked.

Hearing this question, Ouyang Xiuyuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Speak out, Brother Fang will probably laugh at me."

"Why would I laugh at you?" Fang Yu raised his brows and said, "Tell me."

"Well..." Ouyang Xiuyuan nodded and said, "For a long time after you left, I devoted myself to cultivation. It wasn't until fifty years ago that I reached the stage of spiritual transformation. After that , I began to feel the limit of my own talent... I continued to practice hard, but the efficiency was not high... Slowly, I accepted this reality. I began to transfer my energy to other areas. "

"In what way?" Fang Yu asked.

Ouyang Xiuyuan looked hesitant and didn't seem to want to say anything, but facing Fang Yu's gaze, he finally sighed and said, "Afterwards, I'll shift my energy to the one thing you don't like, Brother Fang. ."

"I started working on increasing the impact of my name."

"In the past few decades, the Ouyang family has risen rapidly and has become the strongest family in the central capital. There is no one."

Ouyang Xiuyuan was hesitant to speak before, but the more he spoke later, the smoother he spoke, and there was a sense of pride in his eyes.

In just a few decades, the family he belongs to has become the first family in the Central Capital, which is no small achievement.

"That's right." Fang Yu took a sip of tea and said, "I personally don't like to be involved in various forces, but I don't think everyone should be like me. I don't think it's wrong for you to do so. ."

Hearing what Fang Yu said, Ouyang Xiuyuan sighed again and said, "I'm just ashamed. Back then, Huai Xu and I were both your students. But Huaixu went further and further along the way of cultivation, and became a member of the Northern Martial Arts Association. The real person in power. But I took a devious path, not to mention the stagnation of cultivation, and far behind Huaixu in terms of martial arts status achievements..."

Fang Yu squinted at Ouyang Xiuyuan and said, "Your cultivation realm is not too far behind. I can sense it from your breath."

Ouyang Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "realm is one thing, real strength is another."

Having said this, Ouyang Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Fang, when I was discussing with Huai Xu before, I always had the upper hand. But now you ask me to discuss with him again, I'm afraid I won't even be able to last a round. live."

Seeing Ouyang Xiuyuan's appearance, Fang Yu recalled the situation back then.

When I first met Huai Xu and Ouyang Xiuyuan, the two were already close playmates.

The two of them offended the young master of a big family in the town because of some things.

Fang Yu saw them for the first time, and they were being beaten to the ground by more than 20 subordinates brought by the young master.

At that time, such things often happened, and ordinary passers-by would not care at all, let alone lend a helping hand.

And when Fang Yu was passing by, Ben just wanted to take a look and see the excitement.

Then, he saw Huai Xu and Ouyang Xiuyuan, who were beaten to the point of being bloody, almost unconscious.

The young master raised his foot and stepped on Ouyang Xiuyuan's face, asking them to admit their mistakes and beg for mercy.

But Ouyang Xiuyuan and Huai Xu were speechless.

The young master was so furious that he summoned more than 20 subordinates behind him to urinate and spit around Ouyang Xiuyuan and Huai Xu.

Ouyang Xiuyuan and Huai Xu were unwilling to be humiliated, clenching their teeth and desperately pounced on the young master, biting the young master like a hungry wolf.

As a result, it was naturally the subordinates who reacted and beaten up again.

Seeing that the two were about to be beaten to death, Fang Yu stepped forward, beat the group away, and saved the two teenagers.

This is the beginning of their acquaintance.

During that time, Fang Yu lived in that small town, so Ouyang Xiuyuan and Huaixu came to find Fang Yu every day.

They saw Fang Yu's skills and wanted to worship Fang Yu as a teacher and practice martial arts.

Fang Yu was reluctant to teach them at first, but he was really tired of it later, and he was really optimistic about these two people, thinking that they had the potential to become talents.

Therefore, Fang Yu led the two on the path of cultivation.

During this process, Fang Yu discovered that Huai Xu's cultivation talent was quite poor, and among a large group of mortals, there was nothing outstanding at all.

On the other hand, Ouyang Xiuyuan's talent was quite astonishing, even compared to those so-called geniuses.

Therefore, Ouyang Xiuyuan distanced himself from Huaixu as soon as he started to practice for a while.

When the gap was the largest, Huai Xu was still on the eleventh floor of the Qi Refining Stage, while Ouyang Xiuyuan had already entered the Core Formation Stage.

The gap between the two great realms.

Fang Yu taught them different ways to cultivate according to their characteristics.

Then, because Huai Xu worked hard enough, he began to slowly catch up with Ouyang Xiuyuan.

Under the circumstances of being behind by two major realms, the time when Huai Xu entered the Nascent Soul Stage was not much different from that of Ouyang Xiu.

After that, Fang Yu left.

As for Huai Xu and Ouyang Xiuyuan's subsequent development, Fang Yu did not know.

But some time ago, Fang Yu saw Huai Xu's name on the holy list, ranking fifth.

But Ouyang Xiuyuan's name was not seen.

Combined with what Ouyang Xiuyuan just said, we can roughly see the follow-up development of these two people.

Although Huaixu's cultivation talent is extremely general, but with hard work, he climbed up step by step and eventually became a pivotal figure in the northern martial arts world.

As for Ouyang Xiuyuan, he chose to support the family business and make the Ouyang family become the first family in Zhongdu.

The two people's life trajectories, from the same starting point, slowly ran to two different paths.

However, Fang Yu does not think who is walking the right way and who is wrong, and there is no distinction between high and low.

Just two different options.

"Since your family is based in Central Capital, why did your son come to Northern Capital?" Fang Yu asked.

Ouyang Xiuyuan got up and poured tea for Fang Yu, and said, "Because... I want to slowly transfer the family to the northern capital."

"Oh." Fang Yu nodded and said, "In other words, this clubhouse is a foothold."

"Yes." Ouyang Xiuyuan said, "It is extremely difficult to establish a foothold in the Northern Capital. Because the Northern Capital Martial Arts world, compared to other regions, is an isolated island, completely independent from the outside world."

"My family is firmly in the first place in Zhongdu, but when we come to Beidu, even the lowest-level martial arts family doesn't take us seriously."

"Therefore, since ten years ago, I have planned to enter the northern martial arts world and slowly transfer the core of the family..."

"What was the result?" Fang Yu asked.

"It's just like what you see now, Brother Fang. Overall, it's not bad." Ouyang Xiuyuan smiled.
