Just as Zuo Zhicheng was making himself stronger and stronger step by step, he suddenly realized something.
The leader of the Sea Dragon Gang, the Sea Flipping Dragon Long Feiyang, had already fallen into a terrible situation. First of all, the most important leaders of the gang had been attacked, causing him to instantly cut off his connection with the gang, turning him into a headless fly. He couldn't even properly command and control the entire gang.
After all, the so-called power was the relationship between people. When the important leaders of the Sea Dragon Gang, led by the Four Heavenly Kings, were cut off by others, it was as if the gang's nerves were cut off, and they became unable to move.
When Long Feiyang finally arranged his subordinates to take control of the Hai Long Gang again, he found that the other gangs in New Continent were already eyeing the Hai Long Gang covetously, their greedy eyes fixed on the repeatedly attacked Hai Long Gang.
At this moment, Long Feiyang could not help but feel a sense of fear. Everything seemed to be manipulated by an invisible hand from behind, dragging the Hai Long Gang into a death trap step by step.
…
Under the night sky, Zuo Zhicheng stood in an abandoned courtyard, slowly performing the forty-nine moves of the Northern Roc Descending from the Sky style.
It was said to be a deserted house, but in fact, Zuo Zhicheng had used his other identity and the money he picked up from the Sea Dragon Gang's leader to buy it. It was just that he still allowed it to maintain its deserted appearance.
During this period of continuous attacks and arrangements, he finally found the translation of the ancient characters. As for the Hai Long Gang, he had basically finished his arrangements and was just waiting to reel in the net.
What was unexpected was that he also received the Spirit Training Method from Jiang Tien-cheng.
His identity and strength were not exposed in these matters. It seemed that everything had come to an end temporarily. As long as he practiced martial arts step by step and translated the contents of the two secret manuals in a few months, everything would be fine.
Under the moonlight, Zuo Zhicheng practiced the forty-nine stances of the [Northern Roc Descends the Sky] one by one. Feeling the pinkish purple Xiantian Qi, his muscles and muscles were like a huge furnace, constantly radiating heat to the surroundings.
Along with the surge of this warm current, traces of Xiantian Qi spread towards his head. However, this speed was very slow. If Zuo Zhicheng did not use all his strength to sense it, he would not even be able to feel it.
Zuo Zhicheng exhaled a mouthful of hot air from his mouth and slowly stopped. He felt that his whole body was steaming hot and sweating profusely. There was nothing he could do about it. With the intensity of the Northern Peng Soaring Sky Style, it was normal for him to sweat while practicing in a coastal city in the summer.
After a few days of training, the purple Innate Qi in his infrared vision had reached 32%. This meant that his body had become stronger again.
Next, he picked up a shovel, went to the small house in the courtyard, and jumped in through a dark hole.
Then, they began to dig below. This was the secret base he had prepared for himself. Many things that were inconvenient to do in the dojo and Xiao Lan's house could be done here.
If it was in his previous life, it might have taken a few months. However, with his current physical strength, it would not take so long. However, the weight of the cave, the disposal of the soil, and the purchase of various building materials would still take Zuo Zhicheng some time and effort.
However, it was all worth it. If he wanted to study Dao techniques, various experiments and places for training would need to be done in advance. Moreover, he could buy some materials and use the knowledge from his previous life to make some useful gadgets here.
After a few days, he planned to use an iron door to lock the entrance of the cave and put a large vat on top as a cover.
After digging for about two hours, Zuo Zhicheng's body was almost completely soaked.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he went to the courtyard and sat cross-legged. While he was studying the Great Spirit Qi Cultivation passed down by Jiang Tien-cheng, he waited for the heat in his body to dissipate.
In the path of martial arts, after Qi Cultivation was Spirit Cultivation. This Spirit Cultivation was divided into three parts: Self Form, Human Form, and Dharma Form.
The so-called Self Form was to be able to freely control one's own mind. The Human Form was to be able to affect others with one's mind. The Dharma Form was to combine the two and condense them into a special Dharma Form. Then, one's every move would be like an immortal or a ghost.
The whole process from Self Form to Human Form and then to Dharma Form was the process of one's mind being unable to affect the mortal world and gradually being able to change the mortal world.
The Great Spirit Qi Cultivation was a complete Spirit Cultivation technique. Naturally, it also had three stages: Self Form, Human Form, and Dharma Form. However, his Spirit Cultivation technique was not aggressive. It was more of a support technique.
Although Zuo Zhicheng had not reached the peak of Qi Cultivation, he could still study the contents of Self Form. The main thing was how to adjust one's mind so that one could enter a state of tranquility and focus.
Zuo Zhicheng sat cross-legged on the ground. Bit by bit, he removed the distracting thoughts in his mind and slowly entered a state of tranquility.
Humans are creatures with the ability to think. Because of this, we are always thinking about various things. It could be memories, planning what to do next, or thinking about what to eat for dinner, or wanting to drink fruit juice, and so on.
In the Great Spirit Qi Cultivation, these were called distracting thoughts. In order to calm one's mind and even be able to enter a state of tranquility, one had to find a way to remove these distracting thoughts. When there was not a single strand of distracting thoughts in one's mind, one could enter a state of tranquility at any time.
At this time, one would want to eat when eating, practice when cultivating, and sleep when sleeping. No matter what one did, one would have to be focused and have an extremely high efficiency.
At this stage, one could be considered to have mastered the Great Spirit Qi Cultivation technique.
Now, Zuo Zhicheng was sitting cross-legged and removing his distracting thoughts. Because this was just a preliminary practice, he used the method of replacing all thoughts with one thought. Because there were too many distracting thoughts in one's mind, it was unrealistic for one to suddenly empty one's mind and not think about anything.
Perhaps only an old monk or a Taoist who had meditated for decades, or someone with an extremely strong mind and was born with a unique ability, could do this.
Zuo Zhicheng was neither. Naturally, he could only use the method of replacing all thoughts with one thought. By constantly thinking about one thing in his mind, he would forget everything else.
This matter couldn't be too complicated, but it couldn't be too simple either. If it was too complicated, there would be too many distracting thoughts and it would be meaningless. If it was too simple, it would cause one to fall asleep and it would be meaningless.
Zuo Zhicheng chose to practice his fist techniques in his mind. He practiced the fist techniques that he had learned in both his previous and current life in his mind.
With Zuo Zhicheng's ability to control his emotions and his specially trained concentration, he could easily focus his mind on the only thought in his mind. After half an hour, his distracting thoughts were almost completely gone. However, he still did not feel like he had truly calmed down.
'Is the practice of fist techniques too complicated?' That's right, there are too many things to think about when it comes to fighting and killing. 'Zuo Zhicheng rubbed his chin.' Maybe I can think about something else tomorrow. '
He was not in a hurry. When he felt that his body had cooled down, he patted the dust off his body and went back to his room to sleep.
…
The next morning, Zuo Zhicheng rushed to the dojo with dark circles under his eyes. Xiao Lan urged him to hurry.
"Let's go, Brother Zuo!" Xiao Lan hugged Zuo Zhicheng's arm and pulled it. "I haven't seen Sister Qing in a long time!"
"It's only been a few days." Zuo Zhicheng felt Xiao Lan's softness on his arm and calmly withdrew his hand.
When Jiang Qing opened the door of the dojo, both Zuo Zhicheng and Xiao Lan could clearly feel the joy on each other's faces.
"I was also thinking that you guys might be coming over in a few days." Jiang Qing waved her hand. "Come in. Zuo Zhicheng, follow me for morning practice. Xiao Lan, you can go to the kitchen. Aunt Ye will only be here tomorrow, so I'll have to trouble you today."
"It's okay." Xiao Lan smiled sweetly. "As long as the dojo is fine."
Zuo Zhicheng followed Jiang Tien-cheng and Jiang Qing for morning practice. Seeing that Zuo Zhicheng was practicing the Sumeru Fist Technique, Jiang Tien-cheng nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. Looks like you haven't been slacking off in the past few days."
Jiang Tien-cheng thought to himself, 'Zuo Zhicheng's aptitude seems to be better than I thought. Although he started practicing martial arts a little late, with this kind of perseverance, he might be able to achieve something.'
After his hard work in the dojo, the fight with Hai Long Gang, and Master Jiang teaching Zuo Zhicheng the Sky Gate Fist, Jiang Qing seemed to have acknowledged Zuo Zhicheng. She nodded at him to show her encouragement.
In the morning, after sweating profusely, the three of them came to the dining room under Xiao Lan's call.
After a round of eating, Jiang Qing was full. She smiled charmingly like a kitten that had just eaten its fill.
She sat down and rested for a while before asking, "Dad, what do you think of Gui Quan's martial arts?"
"I'm afraid it's close to, or even close to, the level of Qi Refinement." Jiang Tien-cheng speculated, "Moreover, he was able to sneak into Hai Long Gang's territory and escape immediately after killing them. It's obvious that his martial arts are very good."
"He went into the tiger's den with his fists alone and escaped without leaving a name after killing them." A hint of admiration flashed across Jiang Qing's eyes. "He really has the spirit of an ancient hero. If my martial arts were good enough, I would want to be like him. Otherwise, what's the point of practicing martial arts? It's a pity that I can't meet this Gui Quan. "
Hearing Jiang Qing's words, the corners of Zuo Zhicheng's mouth curled up. However, it was seen by Jiang Qing. Although she had already acknowledged Zuo Zhicheng's hard work, perhaps it was because she was used to Zuo Zhicheng's scolding, she opened her mouth and said,
"Zuo Zhicheng, what are you laughing at?
Let me tell you, as martial artists, we have to be chivalrous and uphold justice. Otherwise, what is the point of practicing martial arts and learning martial arts? Although you have just started practicing martial arts, you have to remember this principle. When your martial arts are better in the future, I will take you to be chivalrous and uphold justice, just like that Gui Quan. "
