The cornerstone of martial arts has been around for a long time.
The common belief is that the stronger the foundation, the greater the benefit to martial arts practice.
But for most people, three breakthroughs of qi and blood are already the limit.
"With three qi and blood breakthroughs, you can touch the threshold of the power realm and hope to break through the power realm."
"Once you enter the realm of strength, your qi and blood turn into essence, and your strength doubles. There is a huge difference between your strength and the realm of qi and blood."
Tang Yangfeng taught Cao Su and solved his doubts.
Cao Su nodded and understood.
Everyone has a limit to the breakthrough of Qi and blood due to physical reasons.
"Those who can achieve more than three qi and blood breakthroughs are true geniuses."
Tang Yangfeng said with emotion: "I remember when I was young, I met a warrior who was about the same age as me and completed four qi and blood breakthroughs. Later, this man improved his martial arts very quickly and easily advanced to the power realm. Finally, I heard that
It is said that he has become the overlord of one party and achieved a very high career."
"As for me, who has broken through three times and advanced to the strength realm, you have also seen that I am just an ordinary martial arts master."
"This shows the difference."
Tang Yangfeng said: "I have also heard that someone has achieved five qi and blood breakthroughs, but four breakthroughs are rare, and five breakthroughs are even more extraordinary geniuses. I have only heard of it, but I have never seen it."
"Further up, people have never even heard of it."
"Okay, don't think about such far-off things. The top priority is to continue to improve the realm of Iron Fist. Once Iron Fist reaches the Dacheng realm, it can draw stronger Qi and blood and promote the transformation of Qi and blood."
After Tang Yangfeng finished speaking, he began to ask Cao Su to do a set of iron fists.
Cao Su didn't dare to go out with all his strength, so he tried to cover up his attack.
Tang Yangfeng's eyes lit up after reading it.
He said happily: "You are actually an Iron Fist in the Xiaocheng realm. It seems that your martial arts talent is really good."
For this new apprentice.
Tang Yangfeng only knew that he had been associated with gang members before and had practiced some boxing.
Unexpectedly, the skills of Iron Fist are not weak. No wonder I can break through the Qi and Blood within one month of starting. It can be regarded as a solid foundation.
Cao Su said modestly: "The disciple's talent is only average. He mainly relies on diligent study and hard practice."
"God rewards hard work. If you have the spirit, you will definitely be able to achieve success in the future." Tang Yangfeng said a few words of encouragement.
When Cao Su saw that the time was almost up, he took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
........
........
With no shortage of Qi and Blood Pills, Cao Su's cultivation progressed rapidly.
A few days later, the Cao family ushered in a happy day.
Cao Xing, the eldest son of the Cao family, got married.
The wedding is very simple.
After the bride was brought back, a simple wedding banquet was held at Cao's house.
There are three strong men in the Cao family, and now Cao Su has become an inner disciple of the Wang family martial arts school. The gangs do not dare to provoke him easily, and the level of the family has skyrocketed.
Cao Su did not go to the martial arts gym that day.
I attended a wedding banquet at home and met some of the Cao family members.
The Cao family moved to Pingcheng only in these years.
There are very few clan members, just two or three old people.
Most of the people attending the wedding banquet were neighbors who were close friends with Cao's father, including some colleagues he knew from the city.
A red knot is hung on the door, bringing joy into the hall.
Cao Xing, who was wearing a bright red robe, drank a lot of wine that night.
Cao Su and others, who were drinking wedding wine, met the bride when the newlyweds paid their respects.
The bride is petite and pretty, and is a good-natured woman like jade.
There is a lot of joy between the eyebrows.
After the wedding banquet, the guests dispersed.
Cao's father and Cao's mother took Cao Su out and turned the old courtyard into a new house, leaving it to Cao Xing.
"where are we going?"
Cao Su felt that he had hidden it too deeply. If he had known that he would go out to live, he might as well have spent money to buy a yard earlier.
Nowadays, the house prices in Pingcheng are very cheap. A house like the Cao family's private house can only be sold for 5 taels of silver at most.
"It's enough to go to the dormitory for one night."
Cao's father said with great pain that getting married was really expensive. Although the cost had been reduced repeatedly, the expenses that should have been spent were always spent inadvertently.
Then Cao Su heard that Cao's father and Cao's mother were calculating over there.
How much did the wedding banquet cost, how much did the various decorations cost, how much did the labor cost...
When they arrived at the residence, the two of them had not yet settled the matter.
All in all, it was a huge expenditure and cost them most of their savings.
But the mood is still okay.
When I think about finally having a daughter-in-law and being able to continue the family lineage, I feel like I'm walking with joy.
Dishe is one of the few hotels in Pingcheng, which is dedicated to merchants for food, accommodation, inventory and transactions.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and many houses are closed.
The price is also much cheaper than before.
When we arrived at the residence, three people shared a room.
The conditions of the residence are simple and poor, not comparable to hotels or inns.
This is more often a place where goods are traded.
The bed is also relatively small and the bedding is thin.
It's better to use charcoal fire to keep warm in your own house.
Cao Su didn't feel how cold it was.
After the breakthrough of Qi and blood, his body became stronger and stronger.
Although it has not yet reached the point where the cold and heat are not intrusive.
But Xiao Han had almost no impact on him.
………
Two days later.
The inner courtyard of Wang's Martial Arts School.
Cao Su, who had taken the Qi-Blood Pill and practiced it, was filled with white energy all over his body.
There is a lot of movement in cultivation.
In the inner courtyard, there are many disciples practicing like him.
Everyone's qi and blood have broken through. Every time they practice boxing, their qi and blood will move with them, dissipating much more heat than ordinary warriors.
The more calories you consume, the more calories you need to take in.
Therefore, the diet of disciples in the inner courtyard is also very different from that of disciples in the outer courtyard.
Some martial arts meat will be added to each disciple's meal.
"Fire dolphin."
Fire dolphin is a common meat used by warriors for training.
Some families in Pingcheng specialize in selling fire dolphins.
The martial arts school does not have this kind of business, and the fire dolphins are all bought with real money.
Fire dolphins are relatively easy to cultivate among martial arts meat eaters.
But after all, meat is controlled by several families, and the price is not cheap.
Meals for the disciples are strictly limited.
Therefore, Cao Su could get very little fire dolphin for each meal.
With his current cultivation expenditure, it is far from enough.
The practice ends on this day.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the martial arts hall, he saw a familiar figure flash past and waved to him.
Cao Su frowned slightly.
I looked around, but no one was paying attention.
Then we walked into the alley.
Chen Zhen looked at him with a smile.
Cao Su also smiled.
A few days ago, when Cao Su returned, he didn't see Chen Zhen.
Cao Su has always been afraid of this insidious guy and always felt that he had evil intentions.
"Brother Cao."
"Brother Chen."
Chen Zhen looked at Cao Su.
After not seeing each other for more than ten days, Cao Su has grown a little taller and stronger. The surge of energy and blood in his body is very obvious. The first sight is that he has made a breakthrough in martial arts.
He was secretly surprised that Cao Su's martial arts talent seemed really not weak.
"I heard when I came back that you broke through and entered the inner court to become an inner disciple. It's really gratifying." Chen Zhen said with a half-smile.
He had long known that Cao Su's Qi and blood had broken through, so this time Cao Su became an inner disciple.
It was completely within his expectation.
"I just have no choice but to prefer the outer atmosphere. Everyone practices boxing together, which is very lively."
Cao Su is telling the truth.
However, to Chen Zhen's ears, Cao Su seemed to be saying that he wanted to continue hiding in the outer gate.
Just like him.
Chen Zhen sneered: "Okay, I won't say any more polite words."
"I probably understand what happened to you in Yujiazhuang, but the specific situation is not very clear. Please tell me exactly what happened."
Cao Su crossed his arms and looked calm.
He didn't reply immediately and fell into silence.
Something happened that surprised him.
Chen Zhen suddenly took out a small bag and threw it to Cao Su.
Cao Su took it and weighed it.
His eyes lit up.
"Twenty taels of silver, in return for your news."
"Our Foreign Martial Arts Alliance is not an alliance that only asks for things. If you pass the news on, there will naturally be corresponding rewards passed down."
Chen Zhen said calmly.
Cao Su smiled and quickly accepted the money bag.
He was quite satisfied with an organization that didn't prostitute its members for nothing.
"Brother Chen, you're welcome. I was just recalling what happened."
"What a coincidence, I can recall everything now."
Cao Su then explained everything clearly, including how he met the Pegasus Village thieves, met the Pegasus Village leader Ji Buming, etc.
He just hid the enemy aspect and didn't explain clearly what his strength was.
"Please explain Ji Buming's matter more clearly."
Chen Zhen stared at Cao Su, took out a booklet in his hand, and started recording.
Cao Su deliberately wanted to take a peek at what he was writing.
But I saw that he had been covering it with his other hand, covering his handwriting intentionally or unintentionally.
What a talent, a master in preventing peeping during exams.
He curled his lips and said: "Ji Buming is a young man in black. He calls himself Ji Buming. He is from Pegasus Village. He is about twenty-five or six years old. He is tall...
.”
Cao Su described clearly what he saw about Ji Buming.
Chen Zhen was also very satisfied with Cao Su's accurate description.
He kept nodding there.
Cao Su thought to himself that this foreign military alliance was an intelligence organization?
Chen Zhen asked again: "How much do you know about the situation in Yujiazhuang? Tell me about it."
He emphasized: "It is best to have some special circumstances."
Cao Su thought for a while and said: "Yujiazhuang, I have been squatting there for more than ten days, and it is normal. Just before the New Year's Day, I saw Yujiazhuang's servants escorting a lot of food back to the village.
.”
food?
Chen Zhen's expression changed and he asked: "What kind of food?"
What food?
Cao Su thought about how to answer this, and tentatively said: "Maybe it's some old grain, because I happened to see a bag of grain dropped from a car, and it contained grain."
He added: "But this is just an example, and not all of them may contain grain."
Chen Zhen sneered.
"To be able to receive so much food before the New Year's Day, Yujiazhuang is quite capable."
Cao Su said: "Brother Yu Wu once revealed to me that they hoarded a lot of grain in Jiazhuang last year. It is understandable for businessmen to pursue profits. If the market of grain and meat is rising rapidly today, what they hoard in Jiazhuang can be
It’s all real money.”
Food is real money.
When Cao Su said this, Chen Zhen fell into deep thought.
