July of the 72nd year of the Dayao calendar.
The empress's carriage left Lan City again.
There were nearly 1,000 people and dozens of carriages. There wasn't much food, mainly spices, daily necessities, and some other things.
Ren Baqian sat in front of the empress's carriage with a bamboo pole in his hand. A water radish was hung at the tip of the pole, and he hung it one meter in front of Qi Shui, the kirin.
"Aren't you tired?" the empress asked angrily.
Ren Baqian had been teasing Qi Shui for two days. At first, it was meat, then it was fruit, and now, it was a water radish that the imperial kitchen chefs brought out from the palace!
Qi Shui had such a gentle temper, but now, it even raised its hooves when it walked. Ren Baqian reckoned that it wasn't far from being kicked.
"I saw that it doesn't like meat, so I thought that it might like to eat vegetables." Ren Baqian smiled and stuck the bamboo pole on the side of the carriage. The water radish continued to hang in front of Qi Shui.
During this trip, the empress finally got Qi Shui out of the lake after a year to satisfy Ren Baqian's curiosity.
Ren Baqian felt that it should have gills. Otherwise, it wouldn't have stayed at the bottom of the lake for so long. Even whales had to come up to the surface to breathe.
However, Qi Shui had been underwater for so long that it was about to grow hair!
However, after careful observation, Ren Baqian decided to go back and find a rock to press on Darwin's coffin.
Ren Baqian returned to the carriage and picked up the second volume of the [Ancient Scroll of Methods] to study.
He had read it once when he first got it, but the first page exhausted his energy and almost fainted.
After this breakthrough, it was much easier to read it again.
Although it was still tiring, it was already within a controllable range.
The second volume of the [Ancient Scroll of Methods] recorded two parts: the [Nourishment Technique] and the [Spiritual Cultivation Technique]. The [Nourishment Technique] could be practiced at the Earth Wheel level and focused on nourishing and strengthening the spirit.
The [Spiritual Cultivation Technique] could only be practiced after the Spirit Wheel level, so he couldn't see the specific content.
The words in this ancient scroll seemed to have a magical power. If one wasn't strong enough, they wouldn't be able to read the contents at all. Even if they flipped to the end of the page, they would feel as if all their energy was sucked into it.
Only when one's spirit reached a certain level could they break free from this situation.
After reading the contents of the first volume of this book, he felt that it was as he had expected. This set of martial arts focused on the spirit.
In other words, his future was very likely to be a mage.
The premise was that he could find the second half of the Ancient Scroll of Methods.
As for this Spiritual Cultivation Technique, it was based on the perception of the Five Elements when he was cultivating [Ruyi Visualization] to visualize the Five Elements and form a Five Elements Space.
Then, through daily visualization, he would strengthen this space bit by bit, and at the same time, strengthen his own soul.
It sounded easy, like playing Minecraft.
However, it was very difficult to actually do it.
Over the past few days, Ren Baqian had repeatedly visualized the giant tree with the wood element, the lake with the water element, and the earth with the earth element. However, every time he relaxed a little, the visualizations would collapse and dissipate. He was completely unable to achieve the solidified reality described in the ancient scroll.
As a result, Ren Baqian had no choice but to give up on his visualization. Every day, he would carefully study and figure out the meaning of every word.
…
The group walked for seven days straight before stopping at a small city called Xu Yang City to rest and reorganize.
The last time he broke through to the Man Wheel level, the time it took for him to travel was reduced from three days to two and a half to five days.
This time, the time it took for him to break through to the Earth Wheel level had indeed changed.
Now, the shortest time he could travel was two days and the longest was seven days.
This made it much easier to arrange his time than before.
Ren Baqian finally felt a little more free, and it was much easier to arrange his time. He didn't have to calculate the day of his return all the time, and he felt less pressured.
Ren Baqian returned to Earth with the empress. The empress went to download a television series while he made arrangements for some martial arts centers. Now that half a year had passed on Earth, the development of the two martial arts centers that were overseen by the winged cavalry warriors was much better than he had expected.
Even without any advertisements, the small videos that some people secretly shot and circulated within a very small circle had caused an endless stream of people to sign up for the martial arts centers over the past few months.
After more than half a year, the total number of disciples in the two martial arts centers had exceeded 400.
Moreover, most of them were young people from well-to-do families.
What surprised him even more was that someone actually contacted him through the martial arts centers and wanted to hire bodyguards.
"Brother, look, it's him. I've confirmed it. He's the one who wants to hire bodyguards from our martial arts centers! " As soon as Ren Baqian returned to Earth, Ren Wannian came looking for him and showed him a webpage on his phone.
"They wanted to contact you directly, but unfortunately, you weren't around," Ren Wannian said with some regret. However, he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
Those who could hire bodyguards weren't ordinary people. However, the other party had a higher status and was a well-known tycoon in the country. Ren Baqian usually only saw news about them on the news. Now, the other party directly came looking for him!
One had to know that their martial arts centers had been established for less than a year, and such a person had already come looking for them.
How could this not make him excited?
Ren Baqian pondered for a while.
This was also one of his goals for establishing a martial arts center. He originally thought that it would take a long time for the world to change for this trend to happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
It could be said that as long as Ren Baqian nodded, he could establish a certain level of contact with the other party through this method.
Furthermore, with this first person, the reputation of his martial arts center would easily spread to certain circles, and it would be much smoother to develop again.
Although Ren Baqian had always been very confident in the martial arts centers, this was the trend of the future.
However, he didn't care about being more famous.
If the bodyguards of the world's tycoons were all disciples from his martial arts center, the influence would be obvious.
To put it bluntly, he, who controlled the advancement of those disciples, also indirectly controlled the information and lives of most of the tycoons.
Unfortunately, this opportunity came too early. If it was a few years later, the martial arts center might really be able to cultivate a group of Man Wheel experts. However, at present, he could only use that group of "mountain kids."
Ren Baqian reckoned that if he really sent the winged cavalry over, even though he would indeed establish a connection with them, this connection would probably be a deadly feud!
Other than the empress, only he could barely command them. If it were anyone else, they would be out of luck!
Ren Baqian believed in the ability of this group of troublemakers and believed that there was nothing they couldn't mess up.
After considering for a full minute, he regretfully rejected the other party's request. It was still too early.
"Brother, are you crazy? You actually rejected?" Ren Wannian asked incredulously.
"They naturally came looking for us because we are valuable. What kind of people are we? How strong are we? Don't you understand after such a long time? There will be opportunities for such things in the future, but not now. "Ren Baqian shook his head.
This news was more of a surprise to him.
What he was interested in now was how his small martial arts center entered the eyes of the other party.
What Ren Baqian didn't know was that even without this martial arts center, he had already entered the eyes of some people.
After all, the incident with the Wang family had caused quite a stir in some circles. Some people had already noticed him after understanding some of the unknown things inside.
Furthermore, although the people that the nation had gathered were secretive, many of them were martial artists from the outside world. Furthermore, they were martial artists with roots in sects. After a few years, it was inevitable that some information would leak out and be discovered by some people.
They were indeed tycoons, and in the eyes of ordinary people, they were existences that needed to be looked up to. However, the Wang family, which inexplicably collapsed, had a high status and strength, but suddenly collapsed without any ability to fight back.
In addition to the Chen family, there was also a very powerful faction in the country that inexplicably collapsed. This was inextricably linked to Ren Baqian.
When these two incidents were added together, it was more terrifying.
Ordinary people couldn't detect it, but how could these people be simple? Many of them were omnipotent people, and it was inevitable that they would find out about some things through certain channels or clues. Subsequently, they found out about Ren Baqian.
It could be said that Ren Baqian had long been marked in some people's hearts.
He didn't need to think about how to build a relationship with others, but many people wanted to build a relationship with him.
However, Ren Baqian rarely appeared. Other than some contact with the Chen family, he only had contact with the nation. He had always lived in seclusion, and those people didn't have the opportunity to get in touch with him.
Therefore, the martial arts center became the only channel for the outside world to contact him.
This time, it was also an attempt, or perhaps a signal.
After all, both parties weren't ordinary people, and it was impossible for them to come knocking on his door and say, "Bro, let's be friends! Let's go for a drink and get familiar with each other! "
Even if Ren Baqian sent an ordinary disciple over, this would be considered a response.
Unfortunately, Ren Baqian didn't know about this and directly rejected the other party's signal.
After knowing that he was rejected, the other party wasn't angry. Instead, he was even more certain of what he had learned.
How could ordinary people reject them?
