In early spring, the weather is still freezing cold, and the vast mountains and forests are still shrouded in white. The majestic peaks are like ancient giants dressed in white, exuding a desolate atmosphere.
In this ice and snow, a young man wrapped in animal skin is practicing martial arts.
His moves are simple and clumsy, the kind of country tricks that masters in the martial arts world look down upon. However, the speed of his power is very powerful, enough to surprise most of the masters in the martial arts world.
Every move he makes will set off a gust of cold wind, and there will be a dull buzzing sound when his fists and kicks are struck. He is a top master who can only train his body to the extreme and is only one step away from entering the ranks of masters through martial arts.
Things that only we can do!
The sunshine after the snow became brighter and brighter, illuminating his muscles as solid as stone sculptures and the composure and determination on his face. Although his face still looked a little green, the calmness between his eyebrows added to his
He gained a lot of momentum and seemed to have the demeanor of a master.
After practicing for a while, the young man followed a charge and came to a big tree. He roared violently and punched the tree trunk. There was only a bang, followed by the sound of creaking and breaking. The trunk of the tree was at least a foot in diameter.
The big tree slowly tilted, and many broken roots spurted out dirt on the ground. Finally, the big tree fell with a bang, and was knocked down by his punch!
"Alas!" With such a powerful punch, Wu Jie didn't have a smile on his face. Instead, he let out a long sigh and sat on the stone beside him, pondering.
"The effect of ginseng forging the body has almost reached its limit. If you continue to go on, you will have to forcefully break through the orifices and step into the innate world - this is not possible. This step of entering the Tao must be completed with the cultivation method, otherwise you will go astray, and there will be more in the future.
It will take several times as long to make up for it.”
Jasmine once said that at this moment, Wu Jie's body's energy and blood have been filled to the limit, and a pure Yang energy is about to condense into substance. It's a pity that he hasn't found a suitable opportunity, otherwise he can ignite the pure Yang with the heart fire and turn it into reality.
A pure yang true fire - this pure yang true fire has two biggest advantages. The first is that it can burn through the key points, which can be used for further training of his physical body. The second is that it can restrain all kinds of evil spirits and be able to withstand all kinds of evil spirits when walking in the world.
It is called a protective weapon.
But how to ignite pure Yang with inner fire, Jasmine doesn't know...
"Now, my body has reached the pinnacle of the acquired realm, comparable to those top masters who have trained hard for decades. But I obviously have such strong power, but I can't use it effectively... Although the punch just now knocked my arm
The strength of the body is fully exerted, but the strength of the body and trunk is only used at most 70%!"
"It took me several months of hard training to achieve this. As for the idea of 'strength comes from the feet, pivoting from the waist...' I don't even have a clue...how to fully utilize the strength."
Woolen cloth?"
He asked Jasmine, but Jasmine really didn't know how to teach, and her explanations only made him more confused, so he had to immerse himself in practice.
Now it seems that it is probably not enough to just rely on oneself behind closed doors. It is better to seek advice from those real martial arts masters.
However, when Wu Jie let out a long breath and stood up, when he looked around the open space where he had lived for almost four months, and looked at the traces of martial arts training left on the wood and rocks around him, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
Compared with four months ago, his strength has improved incredibly. It can be said that it is heaven and earth.
Look at the big tree that fell to the ground not far away. How many people in the world can knock down such a tree with one fist?
Not a lot!
Wu Jie remembered that Du Tuanlian once told him that a person whose arms are powerful enough to lift a tripod and uproot a tree, no matter how bad his moves are, is still enough to be called a master in the world, enough to be famous all over the world and powerful.
Wu Jie believed that what he was "lifting the cauldron" was certainly not the taller-than-human cauldron outside the martial arts temple in the county town, and "pulling out the tree" was definitely not a big tree that a strong man could hug with his arms outstretched.
——A person with that kind of strength would have his arms weighing ten thousand pounds.
"With my current strength, I should be able to lift the cauldron in the ancestral hall that is used to cook meat to worship ancestors during autumn festivals; I can probably pull out a big tree about a foot thick...
So, I can be considered a master of martial arts?"
Thinking about it carefully, although he has not yet been able to ignite the Pure Yang True Fire, and although his moves are still a bit clumsy, he seems to have met the requirements of a master as Du Tuanlian said. He can probably be regarded as a master of the world, enough to dominate the world...
…
In this case, it’s time to set out to seek the path to immortality!
"Master, you should have started a long time ago, why are you wasting so much time practicing martial arts!" Jasmine said with a bit of hatred for Tie Bu Cheng Gang, "What good is there to practice in the fighting skills of mortals? It will not help in the slightest to achieve immortality! Practice on the contrary
The better you get, the more energy you lose... If it weren't for the medicine to replenish your energy and blood, I'm afraid you only have forty years left to live!"
Wu Jie smiled slightly and asked, "What do you think I need most right now?"
"Pray for eternal life!"
"Then where should I go to seek enlightenment?"
"Cave heaven and blessed land, famous mountains and rivers, or go to the capital of a big country... In short, each sect should have left clues in the world. As long as you are determined, you can definitely find them!" Jasmine said loudly, "This is how most sects in the world recruit disciples!"
"Then I have to walk a long way, travel across mountains and rivers, and deal with all kinds of people... What's wrong with practicing Kung Fu a little better?"
Jasmine thought about it for a moment and nodded repeatedly.
"Master, you are right! We should practice kung fu well indeed! Seeking the Tao is not just treating guests to dinner. It is normal to use a knife with others. If our kung fu is good, we can kill others with one knife and the opportunity will be ours!"
Wu Jie curled his lips and had no comment on Jasmine's violent tendencies.
After packing his luggage, Wu took off the animal skins that were used to cover his body, changed into the clothes sewn by his mother, and walked in the opposite direction from when he entered the mountain.
Different from when he came, now he is as light as a swallow and moves vigorously. One step can be equal to ten steps for an ordinary person. He does not need to detour when encountering obstacles. He even climbs and jumps over them. He is even more agile and agile than the apes in the mountains.
The vast mountains and forests are no longer an obstacle to him now, and climbing over the mountains and ridges is like walking on flat ground.
When he first entered the mountain, he walked for five days, but when he came out, he only walked for half a day. Before the sun set to the west, he had already left the forest where he had lived in seclusion for four months and returned to the mountains outside.
On the avenue.
If he returned to the town now, he might still have time to go home for dinner, but Wu Jie was not in a hurry to go home, but ran along the road towards the county seat.
Of course, he couldn't tell his parents about forging his body, so when he returned home, he could only say that "he had been seeking immortality for four months and gained nothing." Wu Jie didn't want to disappoint his parents, so he had to bring at least some positive gains with him.
go back.
Now Wu Jie could run faster than a horse. When it was getting dark, he had already arrived outside the county town.
Naturally, the city gate was closed, but that didn't bother him. The county wall was only less than two feet high. He jumped on it and entered the city easily.
Wu Jie had been to the county town with his father before, so he was familiar with the roads. After a few twists and turns, he came to the only drugstore in the county. He took out a "mountain ginseng" from the medicine basket behind and said that he wanted to take it.
Sold.
This ginseng from Tianshu World, where it originates, is of high quality. The entire trunk is half a foot long and the main trunk is thicker than a thumb. It is truly a rare product. The clerk at the drugstore was stunned after just one glance. After a moment, he turned around.
God came and hurriedly led Wu Jie to see the shopkeeper - such a ginseng was expensive, and a young boy like him couldn't decide such a big deal!
"Niece Wu, I heard that I went out to seek immortality last autumn, and it seems that I gained a lot!" The owner of the drugstore, Shopkeeper Wang, was very familiar and cordial with Wu Jie.
Arrogant, "Didn't you know that this ginseng was given by an immortal?"
Although Wu Jie didn't understand why he asked such a question, he didn't lie. He shook his head frankly and replied: "How can it be so easy to meet an immortal! I have been searching in the mountains for several months, but I only found this ginseng tree. Thoughts
I always have to bring something to my parents when I go out, so I decided to come and sell it and sell some things back."
Shopkeeper Wang nodded repeatedly, but an imperceptible cold light flashed in his eyes.
"The good nephew is indeed filial! It seems that God treats filial people favorably, and that's why you got such a good ginseng!" He smiled kindly, and his words were full of sincerity, "Uncle, I have always been fair in business, Tong Sou.
No deception. This ginseng is of high quality and can become the treasure of our store. I am willing to pay eight hundred taels of silver, my dear nephew, what do you think?"
Wu Jie couldn't help but be stunned. He remembered that shopkeeper Wang was a famous miser. When he followed his father to sell medicine a few years ago, he was picked on by this guy, and he couldn't tell a thing about the best medicinal materials.
It's not worth it, and the price is naturally being pushed down again and again. If it weren't for the intervention of the eldest brother Du Yu, the medicinal materials that should be worth hundreds of taels of silver can only be sold for half the price... Why did this guy change his temper today?
He knows the market price of ginseng. It is divided into five grades, and the price increases gradually. The first grade is called a treasure, and the second grade is called a treasure. They are rare things, with a price but no market. A third grade ginseng can be exchanged for one hundred and twenty times the full amount of silver.
Fourth-grade ginseng can be exchanged for eighty times the grain silver, and fifth-grade ginseng can be exchanged for fifty times the grain silver. The fifth-grade ginseng and below are called miscellaneous ginseng, which can only be exchanged for fifteen times the silver, and it cannot be exchanged for full grain silver.
His ginseng should reach the third grade in terms of quality. It weighs less than six hundred taels of silver and the price of eight hundred taels is indeed very reasonable. But according to the temperament of this old profiteer, it is normal to push it to the fourth or even fifth grade.
This time they offered such a generous price - if it hadn't been dark, Wu Jie would have wanted to run outside to see if the sun was rising from the west today!
No matter how doubtful he was, Wu Jie would not struggle with money, so he immediately agreed to the price.
However, there was not so much cash in the store, so shopkeeper Wang asked Wu Jie to stay overnight at his house. At dawn the next day, he went to the bank to pick up the silver before making the delivery.
Wu Jie didn't have any objections to this. He thanked him and was led by the waiter to a side room to stay.
The waiter was very attentive. He first helped him fetch water to wash his face and hands, and after a while he brought hot meals. He was more attentive than the service in an inn. Wu Jie had been sleeping in the open air these days, and today he was finally able to sleep on a soft bed.
I had a good night's sleep, and soon after I lay down, I fell asleep beautifully.
But at this time, Shopkeeper Wang showed a cold smile in his room.
