Chapter 443: Drumbeat

It is now deep winter. According to normal weather, it should be snowing heavily. However, Ruoye Creek is located in the valley, with high mountains on both sides blocking the cold current, so the climate is more stable. In addition, due to the influence of spiritual energy, the vegetation outside is evergreen all year round, as if it is still in spring.

It was not yet seven o'clock when Chu Yang went out. The sky outside was still a little dim, but he could see things clearly, so he walked towards the front yard.

"Squeak."

Chu Yang just arrived at the front yard, the door of the water room suddenly opened, and a person with a kettle in both hands walked out. Looking carefully, it turned out to be Yi Xue.

"Aunt Xue, you got up so early?"

On weekdays, Yi Xue was obsessed with cultivation and would go out about an hour later than today, but today she came to fetch water early, which surprised Chu Yang.

Yi Xue was startled. When she found out it was Chu Yang, she complained, "You stood there for so long without saying anything. I thought you were a pillar!"

"I didn't expect you to come so early to get hot water. If you want to blame someone, blame it on the fact that it's too dark and it affects your vision." Chu Yang said with a smile.

"Hmph, I won't bother with you."

Yi Xue came over and handed over a kettle, saying, "Go wash up. The young lady is up and waiting in the room."

Chu Yang took it and asked as he walked, "My mother got up so early too. Why doesn't she sleep a little longer?"

Yi Xue sighed, "How can I sleep? I heard her tossing and turning last night. I guess she didn't get much rest. She said she wanted to get up early to check on Zi Xi's situation."

Chu Yang knew that his mother was worried about the clan meeting. This was related to his life, and there must be no mistakes. Moreover, this matter also had a great impact on the clan. It can be said that one move affects the whole body. She was carrying such heavy pressure. It would be strange if she could sleep well.

"Aunt Xue, tell my mom that Zixi successfully advanced to the Qi Refining Stage last night and is now practicing. Tell her not to worry, everything is under my control." Chu Yang comforted.

"So fast?"

Yi Xue stopped in surprise. Chu Yang had promised that Wei Zixi could advance to the Qi Refining Stage, and Yi Xue had no doubts.

Advancing to the Qi Refining Stage does not mean that you can refine Qi. It involves a lot of Qi Refining knowledge, and you also need to sense the existence of spiritual energy.

If it were her, in just a few hours, she might not even understand the eight extraordinary meridians and acupuncture points around the body, let alone sense spiritual energy and guide it into the body.

However, at this time, she heard that Wei Zixi had already learned the Qi Refining Technique. Isn't this too fast?

"When have I ever lied? If you don't believe me, I'll wake up Zixi now and let you see it with your own eyes."

"Well, I'll go tell the lady."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Yi Xue finally accepted this fact.

Back in the room, Chu Yang patted Wei Zixi and whispered, "Zixi, put away your magical powers. I have something to tell you later."

When a cultivator breathes in and out, he will keep some consciousness to guard against external harassment, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy.

Wei Zixi had just started practicing and didn't understand these things. She knew that Chu Yang was by her side, so she completely immersed her consciousness in practice and was unaware of the things in the outside world.

Seeing that Wei Zixi was still indifferent, Chu Yang had to reach out and press a few acupoints on her.

"Hmm..."

This method was very effective. Soon, Wei Zixi opened her eyes in confusion.

"Finally woke up?"

Chu Yang said with a smile.

Wei Zixi frowned and touched his body, puzzled: "Brother, what happened to me just now? It seems that the circulation of spiritual energy suddenly stopped. Is there something wrong with the practice?"

"That's for sure, because I sealed several of your acupoints, the spiritual energy circulation channel was blocked, and naturally it didn't flow smoothly."

"Why!"

Wei Zixi said unhappily: "I just reached a critical juncture in my practice, and I was going to attack thirty-six cycles in one breath. Now you interrupted me and I have to start all over again."

"Okay, it doesn't matter where you start. There are important things to do today. Get out of bed and wash up. It's already bright outside." Chu Yang urged.

Wei Zixi glanced out the window and found that it was indeed bright, so he had to stop practicing with reluctance.

After washing up, the two siblings entered the main hall.

At this time, Wei Yuxin was already dressed and was sitting in the hall with a distracted look.

"Mom!"

Wei Zixi tiptoed over and patted Wei Yuxin on the shoulder.

"Ah."

Wei Yuxin shuddered, and seeing that it was Wei Zixi standing beside her, she scolded with a grudge: "You are such a disrespectful child, you dare to scare even your own mother. Do you think you have grown wings just after learning to practice?"

"No way!"

Wei Zixi quickly pretended to be pitiful, hugged her mother's arm and said coquettishly: "I want to give you a surprise, do you think I have changed?"

Wei Yuxin could not feel the changes in Wei Zixi's body, but she could see some clues from her mental state.

At this time, Wei Zixi was radiant, without the tiredness of yesterday. Her beautiful eyes were bright and energetic, like two bright moons shining, and her whole temperament became more extraordinary.

"Not bad, not bad. When I heard your aunt Xue say it just now, I didn't believe it. Now I can see it clearly."

Wei Yuxin was very happy. It was a good thing that Wei Zixi had achieved success in practice. The most important thing was that after she was promoted, Chu Yang had an extra trump card, which was crucial to victory or defeat. It was definitely a double happiness.

After talking to Wei Zixi for a few words, Wei Yuxin turned her attention to Chu Yang and asked with concern: "Xiao Yang, are you ready?"

"I'm ready, don't worry, mom. I will make those who want to deal with me today bow down in front of me!"

Chu Yang's tone was very cold, because he knew that if he didn't give the Wei family a hard blow today, these people would never give up.

Wei Yuxin was frightened, but she also knew that she shouldn't shake Chu Yang's determination now, so she said:

"Since you have thought about it, just do it boldly. If you fail in the end, you will try your best to escape. After all, we are still Wei family members, and they dare not do anything to us."

"Okay!"

Although Chu Yang didn't think he would fail, he still agreed to it, in order to give Wei Yuxin a reassurance.

"Dongdong, Dongdong..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of thunderous drums came from the direction of the drying yard, which made Chu Yang and his heart resonate.

"This is the drum sound to summon the tribesmen. After three drums, all tribesmen must be present!"

Listening to the powerful drum sound, Wei Yuxin looked a little uneasy.

Chu Yang's expression did not change, and he said to Wei Yuxin: "No hurry, let's go there after the third drum, let them all wait, so as not to be pointed at by others if they go in advance."

"Well, I asked Yi Xue to inquire about the situation before, to see what arrangements the elders have made. Everything will be clear when she comes back."

Wei Yuxin was infected by Chu Yang's calmness, and slowly calmed down, patiently waiting for the news to be sent back.
