Chapter 79: Spread the Dharma and establish authority!
Casting body?

Those are the three major hurdles for a warrior after entering the realm. It takes about three years for an ordinary person to slowly hammer and temper himself before he can break through. After breaking through this hurdle, he can use all his strength in fists, feet, swords and knives without having to worry about excessive bursts of force that would hurt himself.

It is the foundation for a warrior to truly carry the vast vital energy and use it in fighting.

Xue Daoyong's feigned anger disappeared in an instant. He suddenly appeared beside Li Guanyi and stretched out his hand to knock the young man's arm. Li Guanyi's energy rose and he broke free. The strength used by the old man was just the level that could be used to break free after entering the body casting state.

Everything can be faked.

Only the competition between warriors is real.

The old man was stunned and murmured, "Half a month, half a month, the body is already cast?"

Li Guanyi shook his head and said, "Not only that."

Xue Daoyong looked at him. The young man clenched his fists and did a set of punches and kicks. At the end, he suddenly turned around, and his aura suddenly surged. Li Guanyi's bones were only weakened by the poison, but he had a good understanding of martial arts techniques. Although this set of boxing was basic, he also performed it with a good sense of tension and relaxation.

Finally, he gathered his Qi and when he threw a punch, there was a layer of jade-colored Qi on the tip of his fist, stirring the surroundings with the sound of wind. He stopped punching and kicking, and said, "I have also mastered the Jade Arm Divine Bow Technique."

Within half a month, the body was forged, and the Jade Arm Divine Bow Technique had achieved minor success in entering the realm.

The old man opened his mouth.

He looked at Li Guanyi.

Finally burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, okay, okay!"

"You are worthy of being the Qilin child of my Xue family!"

"Okay, okay!"

Li Guanyi bowed and smiled, "I made a breakthrough today, so I'm in a good mood. I saw that the young lady was in a bad mood, and I knew that she was going to deal with those noble families, so I took the initiative to take her for a walk. It was just that the road was slippery due to the rain, and the young lady accidentally sprained her ankle."

Xue Daoyong waved his hand and said, "What's going on? Why call her Miss?"

"You are of similar age, childhood sweethearts, and have known each other since childhood."

"We have been close friends since we were little."

"Just call Shuang Tao."

Li Guan was stunned.

He boasts that lying is as natural as breathing.

Until I met this old man who built such a huge business in troubled times.

The young man found that he was still too immature.

Xue Daoyong smiled and said, "Come, come, since you have already forged your body, I will teach you the [Qi Condensation Chapter] now." The old man asked Li Guanyi to sit down and showed him the changes in his breath during the Qi Condensation stage. In fact, it was just forging the internal Qi to make it condensed from its original loose state.

"At this stage, all schools and sects have similar methods, but they all lead to the same goal. To put it bluntly, it's just about compressing the internal energy, but there are only two key points."

The old man opened his hands, and his internal energy rose up, condensing into a stream of energy that swirled around his palms. He spoke sharply, "Condensate and control. After this stage, your internal energy will become more agile. The internal energy that was originally stored in the meridians will become less in your perception."

"In fact, it is like the clouds and rain falling, which has undergone a qualitative change."

"The more condensed the Qi is, the farther it can travel out of the body. Warriors at this stage will practice armor-breaking martial arts. The true orthodox methods of my Xue family can only be mastered after reaching the third level, when Qi can be condensed into weapons. The martial arts at this stage is called the Jade-Breaking Fist."

The old man practiced it, gathering the internal energy of the Jade Arm Divine Bow Technique, and using its characteristic of being able to continuously accumulate energy during the attack and eventually explode, he shot the condensed energy into the opponent's body, and then exploded in the opponent's muscles and bones.

"My Xue family is good at bow techniques, but this Jade-Breaking Fist is also considered a superior fist technique in the martial arts world. At the entry level, it can be compared with the inner sect core martial arts of the major martial arts sects."

Li Guanyi was curious.

The old man just smiled and said, "Everyone in this world wants something."

"The Xue family has nothing but some spare money. The world is so big, everyone has their own sufferings, and wealth can solve many problems. It is not difficult to use money to attract a few martial arts masters who are greedy for money and let them create a superior boxing method based on the characteristics of the Jade Arm Divine Bow Technique."

Li Guanyi said: "Won't they spread this boxing technique?"

The old man said, “I heard that after they mastered this boxing technique, their arm meridians were damaged.”

"To ensure that the internal qi flow will not be exposed."

Li Guanyi said: "So cruel?"

The old man said calmly: "The Xue family gave them wealth that even a dead soldier could not get, enough for them to prosper for three generations."

Li Guanyi grinned, thinking that he did not seem to have an accurate understanding of the Xue family's wealth. He passed on this secret boxing skill to Li Guanyi, and then asked Li Guanyi to meditate in front of him and try to condense his Qi. Li Guanyi breathed in and out, and condensed his internal Qi according to the Xue family's Qi Condensation Technique.

Li Guanyi felt that his internal energy was gradually compressed, like forging iron ore.

Impurities are expelled and the internal energy becomes purer.

Soon, the first strand of internal energy was condensed.

Li Guanyi looked at the internal energy slowly flowing in his palm. It was not pure or condensed enough, but different from the loose energy before, it could be seen with the naked eye. Li Guanyi bent his finger and the energy flew out, hitting the chessboard and making a chess piece fly.

The boy clenched his fist.

Condensate the Qi.

After condensing the Qi, I can transmit the internal Qi to other people's bodies, so I can find out my aunt's physical condition. It won't be like last time, when the internal Qi dissipated and disappeared as soon as it was transmitted to the wrist.

Li Guanyi is very concerned about his aunt's situation.

And General Xue's unique skill [Rolling Waves] and Duke Chen's unique skill [Destroying Mountains] can only be completed after the breath is condensed.

Condensing Qi...

When Li Guanyi was practicing just now, he also felt the interference of the cold air in his heart.

After flowing through his heart meridian, his originally condensed internal energy loosened by 30%.

This made Li Guanyi feel unhappy.

This poison that had been lingering around him for ten years, and it would not dissipate until Siming returned, he would use the "Tiger Roaring Bone Tempering Technique" to beat him hard and completely break it up, but he didn't know how much his own bones would be improved by then? How fast would his internal energy circulate?

However, even at this stage of internal energy concentration, Xue Daoyong was already quite impressed.

Today, he was asked to stay for dinner, but he took out the letters and handed them to Li Guanyi casually, asking him to read the secret letters of the Xue family. Suddenly, he sighed and said, "The great sacrifice of the State of Chen in a month will be even greater than we expected, Guanyi."

"The five Turkic kings were defeated by Yuwen Lie, but the seventh king had a very sharp vision and took over the grasslands of the Western Regions. He is the new king of the grassland."

“And this seventh king is coming to the great sacrifice of the State of Chen.”

"The one coming from Ying State should be the second prince of Ying State, Jiang Yuan. He is well-known for his virtue. I wonder if the crown prince will come, if even the crown prince is going to come."

Xue Daoyong paused and said, "That famous general Yuwen Lie will also come."

Li Guanyi paused.

The old man continued:

"In addition, there is also the second son of the Duke of Ying State."

"He is young and talented, both civil and military."

"Originally it was the eldest son who was supposed to come, but I don't know why he suddenly changed."

"It is similar to the situation of the seven Turkic kings."

"In addition, there is also the son of the ruler of the newly established Tangut State. All of these people must come."

"I heard that the ruler of the Dangxiang State was secretly searching in the Western Regions for the seal of the Tuyuhun king. Yuwen Lie of the Ying State and Tantai Xianming were all looking for this thing. Perhaps before his death, the Tuyuhun king suddenly realized something and jumped into the cracked volcanic ravine in the Western Regions with the seal."

"Otherwise, how could such a valuable thing disappear?"

"The remaining Tuyuhun tribe, the newly established Dangxiang people, the covetous Tiele people, the Ying State that wants to build a protectorate, and the old fox Tan Tai Xianming are all eyeing this seal."

"I heard that when this seal was cast, the leaders of thirty-five tribes were beheaded. Now, three hundred years have passed, and it can still cause such a bloody storm. The king of Tuyuhun at that time was truly the greatest hero and overlord of the Western Regions in the past thousand years." Xue Daoyong sighed.

Li Guan remained calm and said, "Yes, this is also the intersection of the world's situation."

"But I don't know where it was or who got it."

Xue Daoyong smiled and said, "No matter who it is, it is a matter far away in the Western Regions and has nothing to do with us. We should just wait and see. When that person comes out, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble."

Li Guanyi said: "That's right."

But he was thinking that he had to use up the luck in the seal before the grand ceremony.

The old man chatted with him, talking about the changes in the world and the vortex of the great festival. Finally, the old man raised the teacup in his hand and said softly: "Shuangtao is going to the capital tomorrow. Guanyi, you can ride a horse to send her off. You can return after about a hundred miles."

"Before you can participate in the grand festival, I have to solve a problem for you, Guanyi."

Li Guanyi seemed to be thinking about something.

The old man waved his hand, and the curtain of Tingfeng Pavilion fell, and no one could hear the conversation inside.

The old man talked with Li Guanyi for the time it took to stick of incense.

………………

It rained today, and the sky in the south of the Yangtze River was exceptionally blue the next day. The Xue family's carriage convoy was ready. It came out of the east gate of Guanyi City and headed towards the capital of Jiangzhou. The carriages were filled with gifts and visiting cards from the Xue family to other families. The eldest lady sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and chatted with Li Guanyi.

Li Guanyi rode the horse in a heroic manner. Because the carriage was slow, it took an hour to travel a hundred miles. The team sent by the Royal Concubine could be seen in front of him, so Li Guanyi tightened the reins and said, "Then, Miss, I can't see you off."

"Be careful on the road."

Xue Shuangtao raised his eyes and suddenly said, "...you will come in a month, right?"

"You got the clearance certificate, you won't disappear suddenly, right?"

Li Guanyi said, “Yeah.”

"The Emperor has issued an imperial decree. I can't escape even if I want to."

Xue Shuangtao felt relieved, nodded slowly, and said, "Then I'll wait for you here."

She smiled and said, "There are many beautiful places, delicious food and fun things to do in the capital. I will find out all of them. When you come over, I will take you there."

Li Guan handed each bag to the girl.

Xue Shuangtao opened it, and inside were smooth round stones used by the children to play, as well as a spinning top. Li Guanyi stopped his horse, watched the eldest lady wave at him, and was helped into the royal carriage, which gradually drove away.

The young man reined in his horse and turned around to walk towards Guanyi City when he suddenly heard a whistle.

Suddenly, tripwires appeared in the grass.

Then the sound of horse hooves was heard, and five tall horses that were not seen in Jiangnan Road came out. On the backs of the horses sat young men in bright clothes, each with a raised brow and a mask on his face. The five good horses ran quickly around Li Guanyi, and one of them laughed and said, "Is this the Li Guanyi?!"

"Haha, we finally caught him!"

"Today I will destroy his martial arts and break one of his legs, and see if he can go to the grand sacrifice!"

"Hahaha, which one are you talking about, brother?"

All the young men laughed together, with wild expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they were used to riding horses. The five horses galloped around Li Guanyi. One of the young men whistled, raised his hand and threw a shackle with an iron hook directly towards Li Guanyi.

If it hits, there will at least be a few bloody holes. Li Guan raised his hand and grabbed the chain.

The young man was stunned, and then he cursed: "You are a peasant, how dare you fight back!" He zipped his clothes subconsciously. Li Guan raised his eyes and looked at the young men in bright clothes and riding fierce horses around him. The conversation between the old man and him before came to his mind again.

"Since the imperial edict and the emperor's praise, you have been put on the spot. Now that they heard that you were going to participate in the Chen Kingdom's grand sacrifice, the sons of the court's military nobles will definitely be unable to hold back. They have always been frivolous and are riding horses in the capital..."

'Stay together and exclude outsiders.'

'If they are not satisfied with you, they will wear a mask and attack you, but because of their noble family, they can escape punishment.'

Li Guanyi asked Xue Daoyong: "How much do you want me to hide my shortcomings?"

The old man at that time laughed loudly and then cursed:

'Hide your weakness?'

'Hide your ass!'

Li Guanyi had the same idea in his mind, but he was worried about causing trouble for the Xue family.

Unexpectedly, the old man was the same.

Xue Daoyong said:

'Those children of the aristocratic families don't have the heroic spirit of their ancestors. If you give in a little, they will think you are weak and can be bullied. Then they will go further and continue to bully and humiliate you, continue to test you, and even go a step further, involving the fight between the aristocratic families and the in-laws.'

'That's what I want to tell you.'

"The ones who appeared at the beginning were only the weakest of the nobles of military honors. I can handle them. Those nobles of military honors bully the others, but they are not fools. They will make their own choices based on your reaction. So, what I mean is..."

The old man stretched out his finger, and under the night-shining pearl, the smile of a tiger in troubled times was ferocious:
'Beat him to death!'

"If you don't maintain your prestige this time, anyone will dare to provoke you."

"The emperor intends to use you to sharpen the edge of the sons of military merit, so you must tell him that using you as a whetstone will only have one outcome."

The fire in the old man's eyes burned under the night pearl, and finally turned into the warm sunlight that was setting at this moment. The young man in bright clothes and riding a fierce horse over there wanted to pull back his weapon, but he couldn't. The accomplices around him laughed at him at first, but now they realized something was wrong.

He rode his horse forward and yelled, "You! What are you doing!"

Li Guanyi opened his eyes, and the look in his eyes was like a calm tiger.

He suddenly raised his hand, and the Jade Arm Divine Bow Technique burst out.

The warhorse neighed as he sat down, and turned around.

The young man held the weapon tightly and was actually pulled up from the warhorse by Li Guanyi, flying towards Li Guanyi. Li Guanyi held the sheathed black knife in his left hand and swung it suddenly, hitting the face of the young man with military honors. With a loud bang, blood smeared his face, and the young man fell to the ground with blood all over his face.

The teeth in his mouth fell to the ground and he howled miserably.

The four young men of military honor who were around him froze.

Li Guanyi sat quietly on his warhorse, his back straight, holding his heavy sword, and said:

"What did you say?"

A dead silence.

The military heroes who were dominating the capital city discovered that the rules seemed to have changed.

Some military honor children subconsciously forgot that they were wearing masks to hide their identities, and shouted angrily:
"Do you know who he is? How dare you do this!"

"Is this the only thing you can do when you encounter an enemy? Your first reaction isn't to draw your sword."

"Is this also a Feat of Arms?"

Li Guanyi sighed.

He thought about it and pulled the reins.

The warhorse neighed loudly and the man stood up, but even so, the young man on the warhorse sat upright.

Horse hooves waving.

He slammed down hard on the legs of the military hero who had attacked him as soon as he appeared, and said calmly:
"understood."

"and then?"
