Alienated Martial Arts

The plum garden in the inner city is full of red flowers.

Among a group of richly dressed young men and women,

A woman in white stands tall and graceful.

Although I don’t wear makeup and dress in plain white,

But she was not at all obscured by the handsome men and beauties around her. Instead, she became more and more highlighted with a slightly ethereal and serene beauty.

Just glanced at it from a distance,

Wei Tao was blocked from view by the crowd.

He didn't move forward any further,

Instead, his attention was attracted by two strong men not far away who were discussing martial arts practice.

"Brother Sun, condensing Qi and blood sounds simple, but it's actually not that easy to do."

"Brother Hong, I am practicing the traditional kung fu. Just mastering the ability to activate the energy and blood to the extreme has caused me great pain. I don't know how much I have suffered."

"Yes... Although different internal training methods have different focus points, it is considered a secret that is not passed down by each family.

But at the level of condensing Qi and blood, the general methods are the same. "

The man surnamed Hong sighed, "Every time we stimulate qi and blood, we need to take a large amount of medicinal materials and blood food to prepare the blood in advance.

Only in this way can the total amount of Qi and blood stimulated increase dramatically in a short period of time until it reaches the peak that the body can bear.

Then I performed compression and condensation, but the problem was that it was difficult for me to control the surge of qi and blood every time. In the end, I had to resort to the Qi Gathering Pill to practice, and after all, I fell behind. "

He suddenly turned his head and glanced at Wei Tao who was not far away, "This brother has a strong body and thick arms. He should also be a martial arts practitioner. I wonder what your opinions are on condensing Qi and blood?"

"My little brother has only been practicing boxing for a while, and has not yet come into contact with the condensation of Qi and blood.

However, I have heard teachers and senior brothers mention the difficulty of practicing at the blood coagulation level. "

Wei Tao joined the exchange and spoke slowly based on his own insights.

“The biggest difficulty in condensing Qi and blood is to grasp the timing of the transformation between stimulation and condensation.

The timing is too early and the Qi and blood have not been stimulated to the extreme, so the condensation will have no effect.

But if it is too late, even for just a moment, the physical body will be unable to bear it immediately.

It can range from the skin being torn and the flesh torn, to severe being causing backlash and injury..."

"My little brother is right, it's this extremely painful feeling!"

The man surnamed Hong slapped his thigh, and he was convinced of this, "If not, who would use Qi Gathering Pill, which although safe, would lower one's potential in the future?"

After a while, Wei Tao learned that the man named Hong was called Hong Sheng, and he was a descendant of the Hong family, one of three families with five surnames.

The other person's name is Sun Zhenshan, who is also a descendant of the Sun family with the fifth surname.

Both of them were obsessed with martial arts. Even if they were forced to attend the garden party by their brothers and sisters, they seemed to just change places and continue to practice, regardless of whether they were incompatible with the surrounding environment.

The more the three of them chatted, the more speculative they became.

Wei Tao carefully recalled his feelings when he reached the blood coagulation level and compared it with what the two said. He gained a lot.

……………………

After chatting for a while at the entrance of Meiyuan.

Bai Youyou, surrounded by several young people,

We walked towards the antique building.

Suddenly, she stopped and turned her head to look to one side.

An inexplicable light flashed through his pool-like eyes.

After a moment, her long eyelashes trembled slightly,

A faint smile suddenly appeared on his face.

This smile, in the eyes of the attentive young people around him, was like a hundred flowers blooming, adding a bit of bright color to the cold winter.

Wei Tao thought about what the Qi Gathering Pill was.

I was planning to ask Hong Sheng a few questions on the sidelines.

Suddenly.

There are no signs.

His back suddenly tensed up, and his whole body suddenly entered a state of high alert.

just now.

That feeling of being spied on came back.

It was exactly the same as the night before in Yaoshi Alley.

But now it’s the inner city.

And it was at a party organized by the younger generation of three families in the inner city.

There was actually this feeling of being spied on.

This meant that his previous suspicion was correct.

Being spied on in Yaoshi Alley had nothing to do with the black cat.

But there is someone else.

Wei Tao tried his best to keep a constant smile on his face and adjusted his position silently.

Using the bodies of Hong Sheng and Sun Zhenshan as cover, he looked back through the gap between them.

Wherever he looked, except for the group of young ladies from the inner city who just walked past, there was no one else in that position.

So, is it possible that that mysterious peeping gaze is among these young people from the inner city?

This speculation made him feel a little confused.

Suddenly, he remembered Tan Pan's reminder.

My heart suddenly became enlightened, like a flash of lightning, illuminating the fog that had not been cleared before.

"I see, why did Senior Brother say that the water in the Red Lantern Club is very deep, and that we should stay away from each other and not be easily provoked? It is even better not to talk nonsense outside.

Perhaps because their organization has penetrated deep into the inner city, they may even be inextricably linked to the three major families. "

After Bai Youyou arrived, the plum blossom garden party officially began.

Other guests scattered everywhere gathered together and all came to the square in front of the ancient building.

The people sitting at the main table are all direct descendants of the three families, and they are divided into descendants of concubines and branch families.

Further down, there are young people with five surnames in the inner city.

On the outermost side are young people invited from outer cities to attend the garden party.

The most eye-catching among them is Mr. Hu’s adopted daughter.

Mr. Hu from the outer city never married and adopted two sons and one daughter. He was called the twin dragons and the phoenix by others.

The person coming to the garden party this time is the adopted daughter Hu Qingfeng.

Although the weather was freezing, she only wore a close-fitting outfit and a pair of long leather boots, which showed off her slim figure to the fullest.

It attracted the attention of countless men.

However, most of them only glanced at them from a distance and did not dare to approach them to strike up a conversation.

Even those young people from the three families were polite and did not behave frivolously when talking to her.

In addition, there are Chen Chengshan, the top disciple of the Iron Leg Sect, and his younger brother Chen Chengyuan.

Shen Yiwei, the youngest deputy sword master of the Hidden Sword Society.

Shan Zhe, the son of the master of Shanjia Sect, and so on.

Wei Tao sat behind Tan Pan and listened to him introducing the situation in a low voice, but he already had the intention of retreating in his heart.

But he also understood that it was obviously not appropriate to leave the meeting at this time. Instead, it would attract the attention of others. It was better to remain unchanged in response to changes and blend in with the crowd to be more hidden and safer.

Reciting poems and composing poems, drinking wine and having fun.

From time to time bursts of joy and laughter echoed in the Meiyuan.

Wei Tao was not interested in these. While observing the people attending the garden party, he secretly paid attention to whether the mysterious prying eyes would appear again.

At the same time, some energy must be allocated to deal with Tan Pan's "concerned" inquiries without a word.

After a while, Tan Pan understood what he wanted to know, and his regret was palpable, "It should have been a good match, but it's really a pity."

"Seventh Junior Brother, there is no need to be too sad. I will talk to Jiaoyun later and ask her to keep an eye on other girls for you."

At this point, he sighed again, "However, it will be difficult for the Seventh Junior Brother to meet a woman with Miss Qu's family conditions again in the future."

"If seventh junior brother you can marry her, you can step into the circle of the inner city.

In the future, brothers and sisters, you and I will work together, and with your own strength and hard work, you may not be able to break into a new world in this Cangyuan City. "

Wei Tao listened absently and suddenly interrupted, "Brother, what is Qi Gathering Pill?"

"Uh... did you listen to what I was saying."

Tan Pan was stunned for a moment, and after a long silence he said speechlessly, "Qi Gathering Pill, it is a pill that is taken after reaching the level of condensing qi and blood, in order to ensure a safer and more stable practice."

"We have this kind of pill in our warehouse. Junior brother, you are not at the blood coagulation level yet, so you won't be able to use this kind of thing for the time being."

After a pause, Tan Pan added with emphasis, "You must not try to take the Qi Gathering Pill out of curiosity.

If it is used before blood coagulation, a small amount will not have much impact. Once it is overdosed, at least the Qi and blood will be reversed and disrupt the practice, and at worst, the cultivation will not make any progress throughout the life.

Also, even if it reaches the blood coagulation level,

If you can practice without the Qi Gathering Pill,

That's the best thing,

If you use this thing too much, it will do more harm than good. "

Wei Tao carefully thought about Tan Pan's explanation about the Qi Gathering Pill, and at the same time compared it one by one with the information he had just obtained.

He was about to continue asking in depth when a clear male voice suddenly sounded from the main table.

"I heard that various gang martial arts schools were participating in this garden party. Miss Bai suggested that we have a martial arts competition to liven up the atmosphere.

We all use martial arts to make friends, and the winner can also get a generous prize. What do you think? "
