"It's only been ten years?"
Xu Yuan had been addicted to practice before, but when he asked, he discovered that only a little over ten days had passed.
It only took less than two months to go from the first level to the eighth level of pulse quenching.
Even though Xu Yuan was somewhat prepared in his heart, he still couldn't help but be stunned by the speed of cultivation.
Come out of the secret room where the spiritual spring is located and walk outside along the corridor in the inner courtyard.
Xu Yuan did not choose to continue practicing.
Because all the elixirs Xu Changge left for him were basically finished. Without the effect of those elixirs on protecting the pulse and nourishing the soul, practicing for too long would damage the foundation.
Along the way, Xu Yuan saw many people coming to the "Wuxuanyuan" for training and training.
Most of the people who can enter the inner courtyard to practice are at the seventh to sixth level, with only a few geniuses at the eighth level.
There are men and women.
Cultivation depends on aptitude, not gender.
The men all have strong muscles.
Although the woman has vaguely feminine curves, the muscles under her clothes are real.
Yes, not bodybuilding, but muscles, big muscles.
Several of the beautiful-looking women were even bigger than Zhou Chen beside them.
His eyes swept across, and when they looked at each other inadvertently, Xu Yuan's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
Zhou Chen noticed Xu Yuan's gaze and chuckled strangely:
"Sir, these people are all practicing martial arts, just like ordinary people practicing martial arts, so most of them are very strong."
"Martial disciple?"
Xu Yuan was slightly surprised by the novel term and asked in a low voice: "What is a warrior?"
After Su Jinxuan's attack, Xu Yuan found that his understanding of the extraordinary power of this world was not enough, and he needed to know some relevant information.
Zhou Chen chuckled:
"Of course. The seventh, eighth and ninth grades we are practicing now are named after the three realms of martial arts established by the Jiantian Pavilion, namely body training, pulse quenching, and bone training..."
"etc......"
Xu Yuan suddenly interrupted. He had never heard this name before, including in Cangyuan, and asked softly: "Is Jiantian Pavilion a sect?"
Zhou Chen explained casually after hearing this:
"Yes, but it has been destroyed for more than ten thousand years, and most of the current cultivation realms were originally divided by them."
"Divide the realm of cultivation in the world?" Xu Yuan's pupils shrank slightly.
Zhou Chen took a sip of wine:
"Of course, otherwise the current level of cultivation cannot be conjured out of thin air, right?
“The Qi Dao, the Martial Arts Dao, the Soul Dao, and the Formation Dao are all defined by the Supervisory Heaven Pavilion.
"But after all, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the practice of martial arts is completely backward today. It's just because of habits, and no one can uniformly delineate it, so the name of the realm has been used."
"...."
Xu Yuan's eyes flickered for a moment, and he subconsciously wanted to ask for more information, but finally endured it.
When it comes to complicated things like the cultivation route, it would be better to go to the library and read the ancient books by yourself in the future.
Nodding slightly and calming down, Xu Yuan glanced at the warriors:
"Mr. Zhou, continue talking about them."
Zhou Chen smiled slightly:
"Naturally, for people who are martial disciples, only when they reach the peak of seventh-level bone training will the Prime Minister's Office give them training techniques for them to practice."
Saying,
Zhou Chen shook his head slightly with emotion:
"Sir, don't look at how big they are now. When they enter the sixth-grade iron body and smelt their own muscles, bones, flesh and blood, they will naturally return to normal."
After Xu Yuan listened carefully, he asked with some confusion:
"Mr. Zhou, do you mean that they don't have any martial arts in their bodies now? But if they don't have any martial arts, how can they bring the energy into their bodies?"
Zhou Chen glanced at Xu Yuan and was silent for a moment:
"Without the skills, naturally one can only rely on martial arts training methods to slowly strengthen the body."
Xu Yuan's mind moved slightly:
"This body-refining method can also induce Qi into the body?"
Zhou Chen nodded and sighed:
"This body-refining method is backward and backward, but it is not slow to draw Qi into the body, and it does not care about the soul, but it can easily leave hidden diseases that will be difficult to heal for life."
"Hidden disease?"
Xu Yuan frowned and murmured, his thoughts flashing, he figured out the key, and sighed slightly.
It’s not that they don’t want to choose, it’s that they don’t have a choice.
Zhou Chen shook his head, sighed and chuckled:
"Sir, for people like us who want to practice, there is no other way but this. I am very grateful to have the way of practicing as a martial artist.
"After all, things like martial arts are really far away from ordinary people..."
Xu Yuan was silent for a long time, then suddenly looked at the people practicing martial arts in the courtyard and asked in a low voice:
"Mr. Zhou, can you tell me something?"
"...."
Zhou Chen also glanced at the "big guys", picked up the wine bottle on his waist, and took a silent sip. His eyes showed a trace of reminiscence, and he began to talk to Xu Yuan about some things from the past...
.....
The old training method of martial arts still exists. In fact, it boils down to five words:
The law should not be passed lightly.
Almost all the secret books of martial arts are monopolized by sect families, but there are too many people in the world who want to change their lives through practice.
So many people die here every day that they are countless.
When Zhou Chen had never been exposed to cultivation and wandered in the market, he had seen many, many people die without a burial place in order to fight for a piece of residual power.
If ordinary people want to obtain the skills and practice cultivation, except for a few chance encounters, the only rewards left are joining the army and becoming a servant of a noble family.
Don't ask about the sect, the sect's method of recruiting disciples is even more unreliable.
Every few years, various sects will indeed open sects and accept disciples on specific days, but the qualifications of these accepted disciples must be at least high, and medium talents will be rejected.
The reason is also very simple.
Most of the sects have existed for thousands of years, and the original group of disciples have already formed aristocratic families under the sects, and these aristocratic families will continuously send their disciples with cultivation qualifications to the sect for training.
A sect can only support so many people. If you, a person with no background, squeeze in, you will occupy the cultivation resources of the disciples of the sect.
With equal cultivation qualifications, why should I choose you, an ordinary person with no background?
And in this case,
The Cheonan Chamber of Commerce gradually established a martial arts gym called Cheonan decades ago.
At the beginning, there were many martial arts schools in the world, but after decades, there were only a few left.
because,
Tianan Martial Arts School will teach people real kung fu, which is the method of martial arts training.
And because of this,
Even with the blessing of Prime Minister Dayan, the huge Tianan Chamber of Commerce was on the verge of destruction several times.
But as time went by, the aristocratic family, the sect and the aristocratic families affiliated with the sect finally compromised.
They also set up corresponding martial arts schools in the market one after another. Unfortunately, the scale of the latecomers was far less than that of the Tianan Martial Arts School in Xiangguo Mansion.
Regardless of the purpose or outcome of the upper-level struggle, after this, ordinary people will finally have a way to practice.
Even if a martial arts disciple’s training is difficult,
Even though this method may damage the foundation,
But for a group of people who have no way to practice, this is the only chance.
Zhou Chen was one of them back then.
Relying on the money he had managed to save by cheating and swindling in the market since childhood, Zhou Chen became one of the first batch of practitioners to enter the Tianan Martial Arts School.
But in the martial arts hall, it was very different from what he imagined.
After risking his life to accumulate a hundred taels of silver, all he got in exchange was a body-tempering boxing book, a relatively neat single room, and thousands of classmates living together outside the city.
There is no one-on-one teaching, no medicinal bath as imagined, and not even a decent qualification test.
This made him feel cheated.
But later I gradually discovered that the money spent was worth it.
At least, it's worth it for a genius.
Although Tianan Martial Arts School had just been established at that time, the internal structure was already complete.
Various assessments, various rankings, and various competitions.
In short,
Those who can stay, those who can't leave.
Of course, it’s okay not to leave, just keep paying.
Cultivation resources are distributed according to ranking. The higher the ranking on each list, the more resources will be.
Everyone in every martial arts school is trying to break their heads and strive for that ray of upward path.
During this period, countless people were eliminated...
Countless casualties...
And Zhou Chen,
It is in this environment,
A third-grade grandmaster who fought his way up step by step, risking his life.
