Martial Arts Immortal

The next morning.

It was dawn, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers began to sound outside.

Today is another day to worship the gods.

During the Chinese New Year, there are many festivals, and worship to gods is required almost every day, sometimes from morning to night.

Different from the excitement outside, there was no sound of firecrackers in Lin Zheyu's yard, only the banging sound of fists hitting wooden piles.

After a few days of cultivation, Lin Zheyu's energy and spirit reached its peak again, and he could break through the limit again.

After the strength has been upgraded to the Qi and Blood realm, the difficulty of breaking through the limit has increased a lot.

Lin Zheyu exercised frantically for more than two hours before exhausting all his strength and breaking through his physical limits.

He was so weak that he collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

The more times you break your limits, the stronger your physical and mental toughness and strength will be. It will be much more difficult to break your limits next time.

Therefore, every time he breaks the limit, he feels extremely difficult.

Especially at the moment when he was about to break through the limit, Lin Zheyu felt as if his spirit was being torn apart, his muscles all over his body were in unbearable pain, he was out of control, and he felt as if he was about to die.

Fortunately, the more times you do it, the more you get used to it.

Although this feeling still exists, it has gradually become routine.

After resting for less than half an hour, Lin Zheyu sat up and crossed his legs on the ground to refine his energy.

After reaching the realm of Qi and Blood Veil, his body's recovery speed also increased, and more Qi and blood energy could be squeezed out.

After another ten minutes of recovery, the pain in my body was relieved a lot and it no longer affected my activities.

Although he is extremely weak now, with the power of the strands of Qi and blood he has just extracted, he can still punch a child in the Zang Refining Realm with one punch.

【God rewards those who work hard】

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 1

Skill:

Man Bull Boxing (Perfect)

Jin Yan Gong (5th level 1%)

Turtle Breathing Technique (Third Level 2%)

Liuhe Knife (minor 3%)

Poison King Body (0% on the first level)

"Finally, we can try the effect of source power on improving the 'skill' of the Poison King Body!"

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness and said secretly.

The cultivation of the Poison King Body will consume one's lifespan.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Zheyu would not take this risk.

But it can be improved through source power, which is completely different.

The loss of lifespan is mainly caused by frequent poisoning and detoxification in the process of increasing poison resistance, and excessive loss of the body's essence.

Being poisoned once or twice and then detoxified will not put much burden on the body.

However, long-term and high-frequency poisoning and detoxification will produce a huge burden, thereby depleting the body's essence and affecting lifespan.

Not only that, the Poison Code records that in theory, during the cultivation process, if the operation is perfect and the body is strong enough, there will be no accumulation of toxins.

But this is only in theory.

There is a gap between theory and reality. If you are not careful, toxins will remain.

And if you can use the source power to improve, you can completely avoid these two defects.

There is an advantage to using source power to increase, that is, in that special mental state, in the consciousness space, Lin Zheyu's energy and physical strength are unlimited.

When he practices martial arts inside, he will not feel tired, he will always be energetic, and his practice will never end.

If the Poison King's body is improved inside, there is no need to worry about excessive loss of the body's essence, and the endless energy can also consume the remaining toxins.

After the improvement is completed, the enhanced poison resistance will only be fed back to the physical body without any side effects.

However, these are just his guesses, and they need to be verified through personal experiments.

"I hope the guess is feasible!" Lin Zheyu said secretly.

Because he didn't know how much energy it would take to improve the Poison King's body, just to be on the safe side, he prepared four doses of blood-replenishing and bone-strengthening soup.

Drink the Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction into your belly, and your body will recover quickly like a shriveled sponge meeting sea water.

Lin Zheyu suppressed his excitement and conveyed his thoughts: 'Use 1 unit of source power to improve the Poison King's body. ’

In an instant, his spirit fell into a trance and entered a mysterious space of consciousness.

However, in less than a breath, he withdrew again.

Lin Zheyu looked confused.

What the hell?

He felt that after he entered the conscious space, he was stunned for a second, and then exited.

Looking at his consciousness, the 1 unit of source power he just used has been restored again.

"Failed?"

Lin Zheyu's eyes widened and he was a little dazed.

Although he had expected this result before, he was still a little disappointed.

Obviously, poisons and medicinal materials cannot appear out of thin air in the space of consciousness.

But since the Poison King's physical ability appears in the consciousness data, it means that it can be improved with source power.

"It's strange. When you use source power to improve, your spirit enters a mysterious state. When you practice in that consciousness space, the wooden stakes used for exercise and the small tools used to practice footwork can all be embodied."

"But the poisons and medicinal materials needed to improve the Poison King's body are not available."

"Is it possible that it can be taken directly, and the strength-improving thing cannot be embodied, but can only be embodied as an external auxiliary exercise tool?"

Lin Zheyu thought.

He felt that there should be some special law of energy conservation involved.

But that would be troublesome.

This means that when using source power to enhance the Poison King's body, the medicinal materials used must be taken into the stomach in advance.

"One unit of source power is approximately equivalent to one year of cultivation time."

"If I use source power to enhance the Poison King's body, does it mean that I have to take all the poisons, antidotes, and secret medicines I need in a year?"

"Not only that, but there is also the medicinal power of the blood-boosting and bone-strengthening soup that is needed to transform the body."

Lin Zheyu thought, a little stunned.

The one year here was roughly calculated by him before.

It is a reference value that he compared based on his daily exercise progress and the improvement progress using source power.

He specially calculated that when he was at the third level of Jin Yan Gong, he could practice Jin Yan Gong for two and a half hours every day, which would increase his progress by one percent in about fifteen days.

At the third level, one unit of source power increases by approximately 25%.

If you practice Jin Yan Gong for two and a half hours every day for 375 days, you can improve your progress by 25%, which is almost equivalent to one year.

In other words, one unit of source power is equivalent to approximately one year of hard training.

However, the year here refers to a year in which no large tonic medicinal materials are used, and nutrition is purely supplemented by food.

In his usual cultivation, he was reluctant to use medicinal materials to assist his cultivation. He always relied on food supplements to restore his physical condition.

The money saved was saved up to buy blood-reinforcing and bone-strengthening soup, which was used as energy to increase the source of strength.

"If you take all the poisons, antidotes, and tonics you need for a year of cultivation at once, you won't kill people, right?"

Lin Zheyu was speechless.

There are so many messy medicinal materials taken into the stomach at the same time, whether it can be eaten or not is a problem.

Is it okay if I don’t eat it?

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

The medicinal soup drank into the stomach is definitely not absorbed directly through the stomach, and the stomach does not absorb it so quickly.

Only with the mobilization of mysterious energy can the medicinal power inside be quickly absorbed.

If it is not drunk into the stomach, but is touched outside the body through hands, can the mysterious energy directly mobilize the medicinal power in the medicinal materials?

There was no need for this before, and Lin Zheyu had never thought about it.

As soon as this idea came up, he felt that it was very feasible.

"You can give it a try next time you accumulate new source power."

"Don't think about this anymore. Don't waste the blood-boosting and bone-strengthening soup you drank. Let's use it to improve Jin Yan Gong first!"

Lin Zheyu calmed down and abandoned distracting thoughts.

‘Use 1 unit of source power to improve Jin Yan Gong. ’

Lin Zheyu's thoughts came out.

In an instant, the spirit entered the mysterious space of consciousness and began to practice the Golden Goose Kung Fu endlessly.

In this space of consciousness, his spirit is tireless, never stopping, and practicing crazily.

In the outside body, mysterious energy surges out, pulling the medicinal power in the body and beginning to nourish and strengthen the body.

A steady stream of qi and blood energy is extracted and fills the whole body again, reaching the limit of what the body can hold.

However, the qi and blood energy did not stop because of this, and was still being continuously refined.

Under the influence of mysterious energy, qi and blood energy is continuously compressed and purified, becoming purer and more powerful.

After a few breaths.

Lin Zheyu came back from his trance.

He took a deep breath. Although the amount of Qi and blood in his body had not increased, because the purity had increased, he felt much stronger than before.

【God rewards those who work hard】

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source power: 0

Skill:

Man Bull Boxing (Perfect)

Jin Yan Gong (5th level 14%)

Turtle Breathing Technique (Third Level 2%)

Liuhe Knife (minor 3%)

Poison King Body (0% on the first level)

"The progress has been increased by 13%. In other words, to complete the change of Qi and blood, a total of eight units of source power are needed."

"Moreover, the power of qi and blood in the body has not reached its peak. When it was first improved, the power of the four supplements of blood-replenishing and bone-strengthening soup was not enough to consume one unit of source power."

Lin Zheyu felt the state and found that the power of Qi and blood had not reached its peak.

The purification and qualitative transformation of Qi and blood is much more difficult than imagined and requires a large amount of energy.

He moved, energy and blood poured into his legs, terrifying strength exploded, and afterimages appeared in the yard.

Bang bang bang

There was a bang bang sound, and the whip legs kept kicking on the wooden stakes.

The terrifying force exploded, and even the wooden piles made of iron birch, which were as hard as iron, were somewhat unable to withstand it.

Compared with before, Lin Zheyu's strength increased by about 8%.

But that's not the main thing.

Continuously purifying the power of Qi and blood, allowing Qi and blood to qualitatively change again and again, is to prepare for advancement to the realm of marrow training.

Qi and blood are the foundation of martial arts, which is not something to be said casually.

Only when the Qi and blood are strong enough can the martial arts practice be deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Warriors in the marrow training realm can make themselves younger and their bodies stronger by tempering their bone marrow and replacing their blood.

Liang Song said that before the age of 40, warriors who fail to break through to the marrow training realm will almost stop progressing.

Only by practicing martial arts into the bone marrow and regaining new vitality before the peak physical condition declines can one continue to climb to the peak of martial arts.

The lifespan of a martial artist in the Marrow Realm exceeds the limit of ordinary people and can reach about 150 years. It is said that the longest life span is 200 years old.

But it is extremely difficult to break through to the marrow training realm.

If you want to practice martial arts deeply into your bones, you have extremely high requirements for the quality of your qi and blood.

Only warriors who have experienced four qualitative changes in Qi and blood can cultivate martial arts deep into the bone marrow.

…

In Bidan Tea House.

Jia Yanyong and others gathered together to listen to books as usual.

The story of the Condor Shooting has come to an end. Lin Zheyu also wrote the story of the Divine Condor and handed it over to Manager Wu in advance.

For him, the income from storytelling is too low now, only about ten taels of silver a month.

As his strength improved and he obtained the Poison Code, Lin Zheyu had many more ways to obtain money.

If you are lucky, you can go out of the city to clear out bandits, and your one-time income can be as much as a storyteller earns in a year, not to mention that you can also make drugs and sell them.

"Brother Lin, sit here."

When Ning Hui saw Lin Zheyu approaching, he moved to the left to make room.

"Master Qiu just came over and said that he will leave for Baishi Mountain in seven days. He asked you to prepare." Xie Jiang said.

The people on duty at Baishi Mountain are divided into several groups. After being stationed at Baishi Mountain for one month, they can come back. The next time they are stationed at Baishi Mountain will take almost three months.

"How is the situation over at Baishi Mountain?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"We were robbed twice more during this period. Those guys came prepared, but the losses were not big."

"I heard from Master Qiu that you will be assigned to lead the team this time, and you will be responsible for the security of an area just like those adults from the Zang Refining Realm."

"But that area is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the risk is not high."

Xie Jiang looked Lin Zheyu up and down, his eyes full of curiosity: "Have you really joined the Xu family, and you have just developed the strength of the Bone Realm, and you are actually entrusted with such an important task?"

"It seems that from now on, we will also call you adults." Ning Hui joked.

The structure of the Feihong Gang is very simple. A few adults in the Zang Refining Realm lead the masters in the Bone Forging Realm, and the masters in the Bone Forging Realm manage their minions.

Above the Master of the Refining Zang Realm are Gang Leader Xu and the three major aristocratic families.

Now that Lin Zheyu has been entrusted with an important task, he is obviously going to be promoted to the status of a master in the Zang Refining Realm.

"You can call me that if you want, but I think it's better for Brother Lin to get used to it," Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

He guessed that the news about the discussion with Chen Mu yesterday had reached the ears of Gang Leader Xu, so he made such an arrangement.

"I originally wanted to hug you, but I didn't expect you to be promoted directly and assigned to another area. It's a pity." Xie Jiang said regretfully.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't get hit in a fight, you'll usually be fine. Jia Yanyong, you should be more careful in this regard, and don't follow in Zhou Jiang's footsteps."

Lin Zheyu said.

Jia Yanyong: "..."

"It's none of my business, I'm not that fool like Zhou Jiang." Jia Yanyong muttered.

The New Year's Day is no different from usual days for Lin Zheyu.

If there is any difference, it is that walking on the street feels more lively, and Baiwei Street has more delicious food than usual.

It tastes pretty good.

After returning from the teahouse, Lin Zheyu started fighting in the yard.

Yesterday's discussion with Chen Mu gave him a lot of insights.

With a powerful aura lingering, Lin Zheyu punched out, sending out invisible aura fluctuations from his body, which shocked people's soul.

Bang bang bang

The dull sound continued to be heard, Lin Zheyu was immersed in Manniu Fist, and realized the 'power' contained in the boxing technique.

What is ‘potential’?

Lin Zheyu thought about this problem.

The explosion of knowledge in his previous life did not make him an expert in any field, but he did understand a little bit of all sorts of things.

He seems to know a little bit about everything, but upon closer inspection, he doesn't understand anything.

Relying on the miscellaneous knowledge from his previous life and combining the martial arts of Wei Dynasty, Lin Zheyu had his own understanding.

‘Potential’ is a special magnetic field emitted by twisting the essence, energy and spirit into one, and with the blessing of spiritual beliefs, it can also be said to be an aura.

Different beliefs create different magnetic fields.

This invisible aura targets people's minds and stimulates the instincts of living creatures, making them feel dangerous and triggering instinctive reactions.

Facing a powerful 'power', even a beast without intelligence will instinctively be afraid, tremble, tremble, and perform abnormally.

This is where Chen Mu is powerful.

Those who are weak-willed will feel fear in their hearts for no reason when fighting him and facing Chen Mu's bloody and killing force.

His whole body became tense and stiff, as if he had encountered a natural enemy.

Although 'shi' is a special aura that is emitted after the essence, energy and spirit are twisted into one, it does not mean that the stronger the essence, energy and spirit, the more 'shi' can be practiced.

This involves martial arts beliefs.

Only those who have outstanding talent, understand their own martial arts path, and have strong martial arts beliefs can gather "power".

Lin Zheyu's martial arts beliefs were not his own, but came from his perception of Man Niu Fist.

He had only been practicing martial arts for a few months and had no time to gather his own martial arts beliefs.

Bang bang bang.

Bang bang sounds continued to sound, and the momentum around Lin Zheyu gradually increased. Every punch he threw carried a powerful force that made people breathless.

However, not long after, he stopped and frowned slightly.

"It still doesn't work. Although the fist is much stronger than before, it is not as condensed as Chen Mu." Lin Zheyu said secretly.

Although Chen Mu's 'power' is not as strong as his, it is more solid, like the solid foundation of a tall building rising from the ground, but the building has not yet been completed.

But his momentum is like a loft in the sky without a foundation.

Although it has improved recently, the higher the building goes, the more precarious it becomes.

Both of them relied on their understanding of the meaning integrated into the exercises to achieve their potential.

The difference is that Chen Mu is fighting all the time, going through experiences, verifying his martial arts beliefs, and laying a solid foundation, so that his martial arts beliefs and the momentum of the Mad Fighting Art become more and more consistent.

But Lin Zheyu didn't.

He achieved this through hard training and understanding.

"Chen Mu is right, the way of martial arts is to forge ahead with determination, gain insights in life-and-death fights, verify your martial arts in bloody battles, and fight your way out."

"Being behind closed doors will not work in martial arts."

"Fighting, I need to keep fighting and verify my martial arts path in battle."

Lin Zheyu's eyes flashed, and his energy became more solid.

Along the way, his strength improved too quickly, and he didn't have time to settle down.

In the early stages, this was nothing.

But in the later stages, when martial arts insights need to be used and 'momentum' needs to be gathered, the problem is exposed.

What are martial arts beliefs?

In Lin Zheyu's understanding, faith is experience, battle, and enlightenment. It is something that is still persisted in and pursued after experiencing pain and suffering.

"Then what are my martial arts beliefs?"

…
