Start from the Martial Arts

Fang Xiu returned to the room, closed the door tightly, and took stock of the gains from the trip.

Niu Gen and Sun Yin had a total of forty-two taels of silver.

In addition, the thin booklet on Sun Yin's body is a secret book of swordsmanship, called 'The Sword in the Sleeve', which is extremely exquisite.

However, only the first two levels can only be cultivated to the completion of meat refining, which is worth dozens of taels of silver at most.

It's a pity that if there is a key secret method and decoction formula, the price can be more than ten times higher.

Sun Yin's dagger was specially customized for him to practice the Sword in the Sleeve, but it was still not stable enough. The Sword in the Sleeve was hung directly on his waist without hiding Yin Ren.

Finally, the three paper bags on Sun Yin's body contained white, black, and purple powders.

Fang Xiu didn't know if it was poisonous powder, and he didn't dare to get close enough to smell it.

"In this world, it's really a golden belt of murder and arson..."

Fang Xiu was a little sad.

Tonight, the value of Niu Gen and Sun Yin's belongings alone exceeds a hundred taels of silver.

After putting these things away, Fang Xiu opened another cloth bag.

Inside were five hundred taels of silver notes and a piece of cloth recording the Hunyuan Yiqi Jue.

Only then did Fang Xiu have time to carefully examine the skills on the cloth.

"Sure enough, it's an internal skill and a mental method! And...it actually points directly to the master level!"

The more Fang Xiu watched, the harder it became to suppress the excitement in his heart.

This Hunyuan Yijue is not only an internal skill but also a superior internal skill.

The inner strength and mental method itself are much more expensive than the external strength of the same level.

The inner strength and mental skills that can be cultivated to the master level are enough to drive the dark martial arts master of the bone forging level crazy.

Even the Huajin Grandmaster who is in the blood exchange realm will be moved.

Among warriors of the same level, those who practice internal strength may not necessarily be stronger than those who practice external strength, but internal strength has many auxiliary effects that external strength does not have.

For example, if the Qi pulse is long, the body's endurance is improved, it becomes resistant to cold and heat, and it is less likely to be hungry.

Of course, these are the basics.

Slightly more advanced internal skills can speed up the recovery of physical strength and qi and blood, lock the qi and blood, and maintain the peak period for a longer period. There are even internal skills that can extend life.

In short, apart from the shortcomings of being difficult to practice and slow in the cultivation process, the inner strength mental method has all its advantages.

This Hunyuan Qi Jue has the powerful effect of relaxing muscles and forging bones, strengthening the five internal organs, and assisting in the practice of external skills.

According to the few sentences at the beginning of this technique, it does not record the mental formula, but explains that this technique is extremely difficult to learn.

Out of a hundred warriors who practice this technique, only one may be able to get started.

There is only one person in a million who can truly cultivate to the innate realm by relying on the Hunyuan Yiqi Jue.

However, Fang Xiu has the fate of "die young", which can improve his learning ability and understanding.

Although his abilities are only average, his understanding is at the genius level.

In the early stage of practicing internal skills and mental methods, the most important thing is understanding and resources, but the bones are not that important.

"Fortunately, when the Zhou family was wiped out, Jiang Ming didn't know if Zhao Daqiang really had internal skills or mental skills, otherwise..." Fang Xiu felt happy in his heart.

If Jiang Ming knew that the Zhou family had such advanced internal skills as Hunyuan Yiqi Jue, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as just letting people spy on him secretly.

He will definitely try his best to obtain the Hunyuan Qi Jue, and he will even directly ask the leader of the Qian Gang, the Ming Jin martial artist, for help.

"The benefits obtained this time are far greater than the risks. There is no need to take risks in the future..."

Fang Xiu pondered in his heart. Although he changed his clothes when he left the city, he would not disguise himself. The guard at the gate knew that he was out of the city.

Anyone who is interested can find out if they investigate.

However, as long as he doesn't leave the city, no one can do anything to him.

Now he has more than five hundred taels of silver on him, which is enough to support his internal and external cultivation.

At least it is more than enough to practice external skills to the level of meat refining.

At that time, coupled with the blessing of the true energy of Hunyuan Yiqi Jue, he may not be able to compete with Master Mingjin.

It was enough for him to protect himself in Qingshi County.

"It seems that I have to break my promise to Junior Brother Bai." Fang Xiu decided not to leave the city until he spent all his money to practice the Hunyuan Qi Jue.

So, he went to Sanjue Martial Arts School early, found Bai Xing who was doing morning exercises, apologized to him, and told him that he was busy and could not fish with him.

Although Bai Xing's face didn't look good, he expressed his understanding and didn't say anything more.

After doing this, Fang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and returned home. Holding the banknotes and secret books tightly in his arms, he fell asleep.

In the days that followed, Fang Xiu maintained a regular life.

A few days later, Fang Xiu discovered that there were more walking men watching him.

But it doesn't matter to him at all. His daily activities are in three places: the martial arts gym, the county jail, and his home.

If there was a change, it was that he spent dozens of taels of silver from Li Shan to buy medicinal materials for medicinal baths, which made Li Shan more enthusiastic about him.

In addition, Bai Xing seemed to have captured the Red-blooded Carp King and most likely sold it to Li Shan.

Because recently, Li Shan had spent a lot of thought on him.

...

Two months later.

Fang Xiu sat cross-legged in a wooden barrel filled with potion.

"Hu~hu~"

"Huh~huh~huh~huh~"

He was circulating his energy and blood and adjusting his breathing according to the formula recorded in the Hunyuan Yi Qi Jue.

Between his breaths and his breaths, a faint stream of air lingered between his mouth and nose.

Fang Xiu's exposed upper body muscles had clear lines, and as he continued to breathe, the muscles undulated.

"Wow~"

When the potion in the wooden barrel turned from red to translucent again, Fang Xiu let the blood and qi carry the airflow sucked into his body and circulate the last cycle.

When the cycle was halfway through, the blood and qi, which were originally close to the thickness of three fingers, grew stronger.

The airflows carried into his body by the blood and qi, like the sea embracing hundreds of rivers, gathered in his dantian, misty and real.

Fang Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, and a barely detectable brilliance flashed in his eyes.

The world in front of him seemed to have changed.

"Is this the true qi?!"

Fang Xiu mobilized the true qi in his body, which was like mist, and his vision seemed to be enhanced. The dirt in the cracks of the floor tiles was clearly visible in his eyes, and the texture on the wooden windows was also clear.

At this time, his ears moved slightly, and the slight rustling sound of the breeze stirring the fallen leaves outside the closed doors and windows was also heard clearly by him.

"Vision and hearing can be enhanced instantly! As for strength..."

"Crack!"

Fang Xiu mobilized his true qi and punched out, and there was a firecracker-like explosion in the air.

"Of course."

He did not mobilize his qi and blood for this attack. If he mobilized qi and blood together with true qi, it would be impossible for ordinary flesh-refining realms to take it with a full-strength attack.

And he had just cultivated true qi.

"Under the internal and external cultivation, the progress of cultivation has not only not slowed down, but accelerated... Could it be that external skills need to be cultivated together with internal skills..."

Fang Xiu pondered in his heart.

In the past two months, he has focused his main energy on cultivating Hunyuan Yiqi Jue, but the growth of qi and blood has not slowed down at all, but has been much faster than normal.

Although there is the credit of the medicinal bath, when refining true qi, the speed of qi and blood circulation and strengthening is indeed significantly accelerated.

However, the difficulty of cultivating internal skills is still higher than Fang Xiu expected.

If there is no bonus of [dying young], he may need more than half a year to condense the first ray of true qi.

"According to the records of Hunyuan Yiqi Jue, only one in a hundred can succeed, and most people cannot get started after practicing for several years.

It seems that... I have a good talent in practicing internal skills?"

Fang Xiu's confidence increased after successfully getting started this time.
