"The eldest lady wants me to be grounded for three days as punishment!"
In Lanhong Pavilion, Jiang Li looked at the maid standing in front of him, who was dressed in beautiful clothes but slightly hesitant, with a suspicious look on his face.
Not long after he, Jiang Xuanxin, and Old Man Tu returned to the Hou Mansion, the eldest lady's maid Xiyun knocked on the door of Lanhong Pavilion.
"Mr. Li, the eldest lady said that you and Mr. Xuanxin left the capital without permission and did not return for three whole days. This violated the rules of the Marquis Mansion. It will be difficult to convince the public without punishment!"
The maid Xiyun stood in the middle of the courtyard pretty and pretty. Although her face was normal and her voice was soft, she didn't know in her heart what attitude she should take towards this concubine whose status and situation in the Hou Mansion were extremely delicate.
Not to mention the strange changes in the attitude of the Marquis and the First Lady towards Jiang Li recently. As the maid next to the First Lady, Xiyun knew far more than the other slaves in the mansion.
This humble young man, who has been under house arrest in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, seems to be surprisingly lucky.
Although he was moved into the humble status of a son-in-law, as soon as he was allowed to leave the house by the eldest lady, he used some means to get acquainted with Princess Yunle, whom Emperor Jing loved most, and won the princess's respect.
Princess Yunle came to the Hou Mansion to spend New Year's Eve with the Hou Mansion's female family members and reward Jiang Li. Only a few days later, Liu Honglie, the uncle of Qianjun who was hunting in the Western Mountains with the Holy Shang, re-entered the realm of the Martial Saint.
Although Jiang Li is the son-in-law who has not yet passed through the Qianjunhou Mansion, his status has also been elevated invisibly.
The saint is the pillar of the country!
Even the Marquis would probably not want to offend a martial saint easily.
With Princess Yunle and Qianjun Hou Liu Honglie as backers, the other young ladies in the Hou Mansion had to change their usual way of treating Jiang Li politely when they met him.
However, the Marquis's attitude towards Jiang Li was extremely subtle. It seemed that until now, he was unwilling to truly accept this extremely lucky son.
"I understand, tell the eldest lady that I will stay quietly in Lanhong Pavilion and will not go out for three days!"
Jiang Li didn't know that the maid in front of him had so many thoughts in his mind. He nodded and ordered the maids in the courtyard to send Xiyun away.
"Brother Fifteen, isn't Madam's punishment too light?" Jiang Xuanxin looked at the retreating figure, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
The rules of the Marquis Mansion are very strict. If any young master or young lady in the Mansion leaves the city, they must inform the First Lady for permission in advance.
A person like Jiang Li who left the Marquis Mansion for several days and did not return would at least be punished by the eldest lady and deducted several months of monthly supplies.
What's more, the eldest lady in the past would never miss any opportunity to suppress and torture Jiang Li.
How could it be revealed so lightly?
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Madam must have ulterior motives for doing this. We must be careful these days!"
Jiang Li's eyes flashed, and his heart was filled with desire and expectation for strength.
He is now deeply trapped in the Hou Mansion, and his means are limited. Now he can only endure and lie dormant, passively facing the eldest lady's insidious plot.
But days like this won't last long.
As long as he can pass the martial arts examination and gain fame, he can justifiably leave the Hou Mansion and join the army, and Jiang Shirong can't say anything more.
Without the constraints of the Hou Mansion, he can ride high in the sky, flex his muscles, improve his strength, and accumulate strength.
As long as I am strong enough, no matter how violent the wind is, I will remain motionless like a mountain.
"chirp"
A soft cry suddenly came from the distance, interrupting Jiang Li's thoughts. He looked up and saw a blue-white falcon emerging from the clouds in the distant sky. It flapped its wings and rushed towards Lanhong Pavilion. Come.
A distance of more than ten miles can be reached in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Li stretched out his arm, and the green falcon fell steadily. The sharp bird claws that could tear the fur of the jackal grabbed Jiang Li's arm, but the force was gentle, and the claws avoided the skin, which was well-trained.
Jiang Li took off the small bamboo tube on Bi Falcon's leg and poured out a roll of paper.
There are only a few words on it, but it expresses Princess Yunle's will. Below it is Princess Yunle's imperial treasure official seal, which is bright red and eye-catching.
"Xuan Xin, go to the racecourse and ask Mr. Tu to take the princess's token to Mo Yunliang, go to Bei City to redeem people, pay the price, and send all the ransomed prisoners to Princess Yunle's manor outside the city!"
Jiang Li took out the silver note and gold spoon and handed them to Jiang Xuanxin together with the princess's seal.
"Don't worry, Brother Fifteen, I'll do it right away!"
Jiang Xuanxin took the object and immediately turned around and ran out of the Lanhong Pavilion courtyard.
"If I can successfully conquer the 烃狋 tribe and the barbarian warriors, my private army to conquer Beimang will begin to have a large scale. But after all, these are only external forces, and the most important thing is my own strength!"
Jiang Li didn't relax for a moment. He sat cross-legged on the stone steps on the first floor of Lanhong Pavilion. He calmed down and gathered his energy into concentration. He used Lingbao Tianzun's innate energy guidance technique to draw energy into his body and refine his state.
The night before yesterday, he watched Liu Honglie enter the holy realm. Not only did his physical realm improve significantly, but his spiritual realm of martial arts also benefited a lot. He even gained a more subtle and intuitive understanding of the origin of cultivation and Qi.
At this time, practicing the art of guiding Qi becomes smoother, and without even realizing it, one is immersed in the state of continuous condensation and growth of true Qi.
I don't know how much time passed, but when Jiang Li opened his eyes again, the bright moon was already in the sky, and the stars were sparse. Lanhong Pavilion was quiet and peaceful, with occasional subtle sounds and noises coming from the first and second entrance courtyards.
But it was the sound of the maids preparing to go to bed and wash themselves, whispering at night.
"The Qi Meridian Realm has entered the late stage of the Qi Forging Realm. It won't take long before we can enter the fifth level of Mad Qi. At that time, the true Qi will be released, and the Hundred Step Divine Fist taught to me by Mr. Mo will be able to exert its true power!"
Jiang Li slowly finished his exercises, walked to the center of the courtyard, raised his fists, and practiced the Taizu Changquan a few times to warm up and activate his blood circulation.
After entering the late stage of the Tai Chi realm, Jiang Li's strength increased significantly, and the muscles and bones of his body were connected together, combining strength and softness.
Taizu's Changquan was unleashed under his fist, with distinctive moves, flexible steps, and both virtual and actual movements. The sleeves vibrated with majestic momentum, and there was a faint artistic conception.
Among the nine realms of martial arts, the first five realms are all about tempering the physical body. Only after entering the sixth realm of Xiantian and cultivating to great perfection, with continuous breathing and the integration of spirit and body, can there be a small chance of comprehending and condensing the artistic conception of one's own boxing techniques.
Jiang Li had a great opportunity to witness the ascension of the Martial Saint to the realm of martial arts, and it was only then that the artistic conception of boxing techniques was vaguely revealed in the Tai Chi realm.
Although it is a coincidence, it also shows that his understanding is high, his potential is great, and his martial arts spiritual realm has far surpassed his own physical realm.
"Ancient Demon Body Refining!"
After a few breaths, Jiang Li finished warming up and made a sharp turn with his fists. The wild and advanced ancient boxing skills shook the air and suddenly appeared.
It was Liu Honglie who taught Jiang Li the Taiyan Ancient Demon Body Refining Chapter.
It is said that this body-refining technique was created by a powerful man who surpassed the peak of the Martial Saint in the Middle Ages. He accidentally entered the secret realm of extreme fantasy. When he went back in time, he saw the scene of the ancient demon clan training their bodies in the ancient times. He was greatly moved. , based on the ancient demon body refining, combined with his own lifelong martial arts experience, he created an unparalleled miraculous skill.
The first part is about refining the body, the next part is about slaying demons.
Jiang Li practices the Taiyan Ancient Demon Body Refining Chapter. Every punch must be exerted with great force, shaking the periosteum, muscles, skin, and tendons of the whole body in a strange and mysterious law.
Although it is different from the step-by-step, gentle and nourishing method of Amitabha's Yi Jin Marrow Cleansing Sutra, it is more wild and brutal, tearing at the bones, flesh and fascia, but it can greatly enhance the toughness of the physical body.
It's as if he is trying to temper a person into an ancient demon.
Recalling Liu Honglie's majestic body like a god and demon after he was promoted to Martial Saint, Jiang Li could already imagine how terrifying the physical power would be once he cultivated the ancient Taiyan Demonic Body Refining to the extreme.
It's a pity that Liu Honglie only found the first part of the Taiyan Ancient Demon in the cave in Beimang, otherwise there would be another extremely powerful warrior in this world.
Jiang Li used all his strength to temper his body. Once his whole body was exhausted and his body was damaged due to excessive tempering, he would use Nine Breaths to Conquer Qi to restore his body and spirit to a comprehensive state.
Doing this three times, before the time comes, not only has the physical realm of martial arts improved by Liu Honglie's fist spirit been consolidated, but he has also taken a step further and is only a short distance away from the giants of the five realms.
"According to this progress, before entering Beimang, I may be able to touch the threshold of the Sixth Martial Meridian Realm!"
Jiang Li closed his fist and breathed steadily.
With his current mental strength, he can use the Nine Breaths of Tiangang Divine Power four times a day.
But thinking of the eldest lady's abnormal behavior today, Jiang Li did not use his last nine breaths to convince himself.
The window of the bedroom on the second floor of Lanhong Pavilion vaguely revealed the dim candlelight. Jiang Li knew that this was the candlelight lit for him at Chuchu. The little girl was warming his bed and he should have fallen asleep by now.
Jiang Li looked at the candlelight in the window, feeling slightly warm in his heart. He walked up to the second floor. Before he could open the door, an extremely slight sound sounded from the darkness in the corner of the wall.
