Jianwu Country, King Qi's Mansion.
King Qi's Mansion was the oldest aristocratic family in Jianwu Country. In his early years, King Qi followed Emperor Wu and established the country. He conquered tens of thousands of miles of land, conferred titles to his wife and children, and the throne was passed down from generation to generation. He was the most prominent member of the royal family in Jianwu Country.
Jianwu Country was founded on martial arts, and the Qi family rose to power. Their ancestor, the Duke of Qi, was invincible in 51 prefectures with his bare hands. He even surpassed the limits of martial arts and cultivated a Spirit Wheel and magical powers. That was why he was valued by the previous emperor and was conferred the title of King Qi.
King Qi's Mansion naturally attached great importance to martial arts. The Qi family's disciples practiced martial arts, and there were often outstanding disciples who entered the court and became generals. Because of this, the Qi family became more and more unshakable.
Every day, the disciples of King Qi's Mansion would wake up at five in the morning to practice martial arts. They would only rest when the sun was high up in the sky. Therefore, at five in the morning, oil jars would be set up in the mansion.
On this day, many disciples of King Qi's Mansion finished practicing martial arts and dispersed. After a while, two servants came forward and arranged the messy equipment neatly.
"Zi Chuan, when those young masters practiced martial arts, I peeked and even learned a few moves!"
A burly man with a body as sturdy as an iron tower executed two moves of sanshou. His palms stirred up a gust of wind, creating a 'hu hu' sound. The moves were powerful and ferocious, possessing a rather solid foundation. These were the two secret techniques of the Prince of Qi's residence. Intentionally or unintentionally, he had learned these two moves and was now showing them off to his companions.
The "Zi Chuan" he mentioned was his companion. The handsome young man beside him was a servant in King Qi's Mansion. His surname was Jiang Nan, and his courtesy name was Zi Chuan. He was about 14 or 15 years old, and he was handsome and handsome. He did not look like a servant, but like the son of a rich family.
"Zhu Zi, do you want to die?"
Jiang Nan looked around vigilantly and said in a low voice, "As servants, we can at most learn some low-level martial arts from the outer mansion. Just now, you used the advanced martial arts of the King Qi's Mansion. Last time, Liu Heida was discovered to have secretly learned the advanced martial arts of the King Qi's Mansion. After being beaten to death by the inner mansion experts, his body was exposed for three days!"
"Zi Chuan, you are too careful. What I've learned are just moves, not mental cultivation methods. "
Tie Zhu heavily patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "The reason why Liu Heida was beaten to death last time was because he stole one of the four great divine techniques of the mansion, the River Moon Wave Breaker Technique!"
Seeing that he did not take it seriously, Jiang Nan advised, "Caution is the parent of safety …"
"Zi Chuan, although I am a servant now, it doesn't mean that I will be a servant for the rest of my life! If I can master this skill, I can also ascend to the throne in the future. I will be below one and above ten thousand! "
Tie Zhu was full of heroic spirit. Suddenly, he remembered something and said seriously, "Zi Chuan, I heard that you bought a fox at the market? Qi, Qi, Qi, Qi, and Qi. of Qi., Qi of Qi, Mansion, and Qi., and, Qi, Qi, King, Qi, Qi, Chis. The slums of the Prince of Qi's manor are the easiest places to attract monsters. I've heard that there are foxes and wild wolves that have cultivated into monsters and appear in the slums. They specialize in absorbing the Yang energy of young men. A handsome young man like you, who is also a scholar, is definitely the favorite of monsters … "
Jiang Nan was speechless. He laughed, "Where did so many demons come from? I saw that the fox's fur was burnt and the hunter wanted to skin it and eat it. It was really pitiful. My heart softened, so I bought it. Once it recovers, I'll let it leave. "
"I heard from my mother that the Pixies also like to eat the hearts and kidneys of young men. There was a strong man like me who slept with a female Pixies in the slums for a night. When I woke up the next day, I found that my two kidneys had been eaten. Some of them even had their heads bitten off, and their stomachs were empty …" Tie Zhu continued.
Jiang Nan glared at him, but Tie Zhu ignored him and continued to nag, "I also heard that some female demons like to harvest Yang energy to nourish their Yin energy. There was a strong man like me who slept with a female demon in the slums. The next day, his Yang energy was sucked dry and he became a dried human …"
Jiang Nan was busy for the whole day. When he returned to his residence, the slums that Tie Zhu spoke of. The servants of the Prince's Mansion were also divided into different ranks. The high-ranking servants lived in the Prince's Mansion and were the most favored. Their wages were also high and they were often rewarded. They did not have to worry about food and clothing. Their treatment was comparable to that of the young masters of the rich families. The low-level servants lived outside the mansion and did odd jobs. They did the dirty work and the heavy work. Their wages were pitifully low, and they could not eat the next meal. Moreover, they were often beaten and insulted, and it was common for them to be beaten to death.
Jiang Nan called out. A fox with mottled fur lazily walked out of the room. The young man picked up the fox and walked towards the Sunset Mountain outside the city.
Refugees in troubled times were lower than dogs!
He was not a citizen of the Jianwu Country. Instead, he was a refugee. His hometown had suffered a great disaster. Fire and water raged for thousands of li. It was said that it was a battle between two deities, bringing disaster to the mortals.
Millions of refugees fled for thousands of li. Along the way, there were starving corpses everywhere. When night fell, the wasteland was covered in ghostly flames. Wild dogs and wolves that ate human corpses cultivated to become spirits. They rode a surging corpse aura and charged into the crowd of refugees in the middle of the night in search of living people to eat.
Jiang Nan's family was originally a large and scholarly family. However, this disaster caused the entire family to fall apart. The master and servants fled in all directions. Jiang Nan escaped to the Jianwu Country. Forced to make a living, he had no choice but to sell himself to the Prince of Qi's Mansion as a slave.
In Sunset Mountain, Jiang Nan composed himself. He took a deep breath and his chest gradually expanded. It was as if there was a drum hidden in his chest. His heart beat like a drum, thumping loudly.
Crackling sounds could be heard coming from his body. His large tendons gradually tightened under his skin, like a crossbow. With a slight movement, the sound of a bow being pulled could be heard!
Pa!
He slapped the air with his palm. It was like a whip lashing the air, making a crisp sound!
This move was the same as the martial arts of the Prince of Qi's Mansion that Tie Zhu had secretly learned. However, this move was many times more skillful and imposing!
"The young masters of the Prince of Qi's Mansion are all idiots. It took them more than a month to learn such a simple martial art like the Primordial Stele Splitting Hand!"
Although he looked delicate and pretty, his moves were wide and bold. His hands were like two mountain axes, chopping left and right. In a few breaths, he had used the Prince of Qi's Mansion's secret martial art, the Primordial Stele Splitting Hand!
The wind howled through the forest. Jiang Nan's palms and fists swept up the fallen leaves. His moves were ferocious, like a strong man swinging a giant hammer. He was simply an expert who had been immersed in the martial way for more than ten years!
Like Tie Zhu, he had also secretly learned the martial arts of the Prince of Qi's Mansion. However, unlike Tie Zhu, who had only learned the surface, Jiang Nan had clearly learned much more. He had grasped the essence of the martial arts. Even before the young masters of the Prince of Qi's Mansion had learned it, he had already mastered it!
No one knew that Jiang Nan, who had always been gentle and refined and looked like a weak scholar, actually had such a tyrannical and fierce ability!
"Zhu Zi does not want to be a servant for the rest of his life, and neither do I! To stand out in this chaotic world, one must not rely on a bellyful of knowledge, but on martial strength! "
His fists and feet suddenly slowed down, transforming into another martial art of the Prince of Qi's Mansion. His hands would sometimes look like he was holding the bright moon, and other times it would look like he was pulling a surging river. It seemed incomparably heavy, but within this heaviness, there was the brightness of the bright moon rising from the river!
The great river rises from the deep valley!
The bright moon hangs high in the sky!
The great river is born with the tide!
This was another martial art of the Prince of Qi's Mansion. It was one of the four great techniques of the Prince of Qi's Mansion, the River Moon Wave Breaker. The River Moon Wave Breaker far surpassed the other martial arts. It could even be said to be one of the best martial arts of the Jianwu Kingdom. It was the pinnacle of the martial arts of the Prince of Qi's Mansion!
The River Moon Wave Breaker had a total of ten major techniques. Each technique contained a layer of martial arts, corresponding to the ten great realms of martial arts. Jiang Nan had only obtained three of these techniques.
He practiced these three techniques over and over again. The zhenqi in his body was like a surging river, surging endlessly. Another portion of zhenqi condensed, transforming into a bright moon, rising from the Qi Sea at his waist. Like the bright moon rising from the sea, it gradually rose, finally rising to the space between his eyebrows, shining brightly.
The moon rose and set, the cycle never ending.
This was a kind of feeling. It was not a real bright moon rising from the Qi Sea, but a reaction from the zhenqi caused by the River Moon Wave Breaker.
His incomplete Wave Breaker came from the hands of Liu Heida.
A year ago, Liu Heida had stolen the heart technique of the Prince of Qi's Mansion, which was the River Moon Wave Breaker. Unfortunately, he only had three of the techniques. Liu Heida was illiterate. Although he had obtained the heart technique, he did not know how to cultivate it. As a result, he took the heart technique and secretly found Jiang Nan.
Liu Heida was clever. He broke up the passages of the heart technique and asked for guidance sentence by sentence. He let Jiang Nan explain the profound meaning of each sentence, so that Jiang Nan would not be able to tell that this was a martial art. After Jiang Nan explained, he would then combine these profound meanings into one and cultivate the Wave Breaker.
Jiang Nan quickly realized that there was something fishy about this, but he still calmly answered Liu Heida's questions. At the same time, he secretly memorized the Wave Breaker, slowly organizing and deducing, finally restoring the three techniques to their original state.
The fact that Liu Heida cultivated the Wave Breaker was discovered by Prince of Qi's Mansion. Chief Steward Qi Yong killed him. Originally, Jiang Nan was somewhat nervous, afraid that he would be implicated. Later, when the matter was left unsettled, he let out a sigh of relief.
After a year of bitter cultivation, Jiang Nan's zhenqi was already quite impressive. Even among the many scions of Prince of Qi's Mansion, he could be ranked in the middle!
"There are a total of ten ranks in the martial way. Among them, there are five ranks of Refined Body and five ranks of Refined Qi. The five realms of body refinement were divided into skin, flesh, tendon, bone, and membrane! I have cultivated the River Moon Wave Breaker and have already successfully refined my tendons. Every move I make, my tendons are like a strong crossbow. Just my body alone is several times stronger than a strong man like Zhu Zi, who was born with great strength!
He thought to himself, The Three Forms of River Moon that I obtained from Liu Heida can at most allow me to cultivate to the third realm of martial arts, the realm of refining tendons. If I want to go further, I can only rely on myself to deduce the fourth and fourth stage of the heart technique!
In a year, Jiang Nan relied on the incomplete River Moon Wave Breaker to cultivate to the three realms of skin, flesh, and tendon. His cultivation speed was not any slower than that of the scions of Prince of Qi's Mansion. In fact, it was even faster!
As for the five realms of refining qi, they are divided into Qi Cultivation, Mixed Yuan, Internal Invulnerability, Physical Invulnerability, and Spirit Wheel! I have now cultivated to the peak of bone refining and am still six realms away from Spirit Wheel. I estimate that I will still need many years of bitter cultivation to achieve this.
There were many experts in Prince of Qi's Mansion, but there were not many who could cultivate to the Spirit Wheel level. The five realms of body refinement were not difficult, but the five realms of qi cultivation were difficult.
Jiang Nan closed his eyes and concentrated. His brain worked at a rapid speed, deducing the various mysteries of the River Moon Wave Breaker. Suddenly, his figure moved, displaying the fourth form that he had imagined. Immediately after, he stood still and closed his eyes to continue perfecting it.
The white fox with mottled fur was lying under a large tree and dozing off. Occasionally, it would open one of its eyes to peek at Jiang Nan practicing martial arts. Its snow-white fur had been burned into uneven patches by the fire. Its tail was also bald and weak, as if it had fallen into a serious illness. However, its eyes were as charming as a woman's.
As night fell, Jiang Nan secretly returned to the slums outside of Prince of Qi's Mansion. After washing up and eating, he felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he laid down on the bed.
The moon rose and its hazy light shone through the broken window lattice into the room and onto the head of the bed.
The white fox crawled out from the corner and blinked its large eyes at the sleeping Jiang Nan. Suddenly, it took a deep breath. A strong Yang energy overflowed from Jiang Nan's nostrils and was continuously absorbed into its body!
The moonlight flickered and there seemed to be a chilly wind blowing in the room, making one feel a chill.
The white fox's burnt fur began to slowly fall off and new snow-white fur grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, Jiang Nan was still unconscious and did not notice anything!
