Yuanbao Town is just a small town, but it is very prosperous because the small roads around it can quickly lead to several state capitals in the north of Wei County, where a large number of merchants come and go.
After the carriage arrived at Yuanbao Town, Chu Xiu arranged for an inn and then took Yue'er and a dozen servants of the Chu family to wander around Yuanbao Town.
Chu Xiu looked to both sides, Yue'er was a little bored. Tongzhou Mansion is a big city in Wei County and is much more prosperous than this small town. What is there to see here?
At this moment, Chu Xiu suddenly discovered something and walked straight to a shop selling secret boxes.
This so-called secret box is also a major feature of the world of Jianghu.
Martial arts are prosperous in the world of rivers and lakes, but they experienced a catastrophe thousands of years ago, which resulted in natural disasters and countless martial arts sects were destroyed in this apocalypse.
Before the great catastrophe began, a great master of the formation path developed something called a secret box, which was used to store the sect's treasures, classics and other things to prevent them from being damaged in natural disasters.
The core of the secret box lies in its formation, which can be used to reinforce and seal the secret box, doubling the effect. Unfortunately, it has been lost now.
The material of the secret box is arbitrary, gold and iron can be used, stone and even wood can be used. Anyway, the stronger the material of the secret box, the greater the power that the formation can exert.
The size and shape of the secret boxes are also arbitrary. Anyway, the formations are the same. The size and shape of the secret boxes completely depends on what the sect that made the secret boxes intends to use them to contain.
Therefore, after the ancient catastrophe, the survivors excavated countless sect ruins and found a large number of such secret boxes.
Some people opened the secret box and found unique miracles, while others found rare treasures.
Of course, not all secret boxes contain treasures. Most of the secret boxes are empty or contain useless items.
The empty secret boxes are all prepared by the sects in advance, and the formations are also carved out. You can put things in them at any time for use. Their appearance is basically the same as the secret boxes that contain things.
There are also some secret boxes that contain things that are of great significance to warriors, but are actually of little value, such as a sword used by a strong man in his youth, a handkerchief given by his sweetheart, etc.
In this way, the things in the secret box may be good or bad, and because of the special formation, no one in the world can detect the internal situation from the outside, so purchasing the secret box depends entirely on one's own experience and luck.
Experienced people can analyze the origin of the secret box and its contents from its material, size, shape, and even the decorative patterns on it. Of course, most people rely on luck.
The shop selling secret boxes in the small town in front of me is very small. There are just a dozen small secret boxes in front of the table. The shapes and materials are all different, but the only thing in common is that they all look very cheap and use the same materials.
Ordinary gold, iron and stones are sold in small towns like Yuanbao Town.
Chu Xiu asked the shopkeeper: "Are you the only shop selling secret boxes in Yuanbao Town?"
The shopkeeper didn't even raise his head, but nodded lazily and said: "Of course I am the only one in this family. No matter how rubbish the secret box is, it costs at least ten taels of silver to buy one.
Ninety-nine percent of the gangsters who come and go in Yuanbao Town are escorts for people, they are a bunch of poor people! They can’t earn even ten taels of silver from one trip, so how can they be willing to spend ten taels of silver to gamble on their luck?”
At this time, the shopkeeper looked up and saw Chu Xiu wearing a brocade dress and a maid and servant beside him. A flattering smile appeared on his fat face and he said: "Those poor guys can't afford it."
You can definitely pick up the secret boxes, Master. These secret boxes were all found in the ruins in the Nanman Mountains a year ago, and the price is absolutely affordable and fair."
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Chu Xiu couldn't help but have a glint in his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, around this time, a guy who was a slave bought an ordinary secret box in Yuanbao Town. Unexpectedly, it contained a powerful skill.
Relying on this skill, that person traveled across the world, gained a huge reputation, and even established a large sect of his own, becoming the grandmaster of the sect.
Chu Xiu had just arrived in this world, and what he urgently needed now was a powerful enough technique.
As a large family in Tongzhou Prefecture, the Chu family naturally has a cultivation method passed down, called the "Boundless Heart Method". After practicing it, they will have a strong foundation and their internal strength will be as strong as the vast ocean.
However, as a concubine, Chu Xiu was not taken seriously since he was a child. He had no resources such as elixirs, and no guidance from the elders of the clan. Therefore, he had been practicing for many years. He could barely even get started with this technique, and his own martial arts cultivation was even lower.
Too bad, I haven't even entered the blood coagulation realm.
If you want to get started in martial arts, you must first experience the three realms of body refining.
The first step in the three realms of body refining is to temper the muscles and bones. This level is called the body tempering realm. It tempers the body to make the muscles and bones strong and superior in strength.
Almost ninety-nine percent of the warriors in the world are in the Body Tempering Realm, because this realm is the simplest. Some people don't even know internal skills and can reach the Body Tempering Realm after only practicing some superficial hard skills of the outer sect.
Above the body tempering realm is the blood coagulation realm. This realm is from the outside to the inside. After tempering the muscles and bones, one's own qi and blood are condensed, making the thin qi and blood thicker. In the end, it is even like lead and mercury.
This can be regarded as a great accomplishment in the blood coagulation realm.
This realm is more difficult. It is almost impossible for a warrior who does not know internal skills and can't cultivate his inner strength to reach the blood coagulation realm.
Just when Chu Xiu was thinking about these things, a mediocre-looking young man walked in and said, "Shopkeeper, bring me two secret boxes."
An ordinary person would be happy to buy the secret box, but when he saw this young man, he shook his head and said: "Li Jing, all the money you worked hard to earn in the Li family in Tongzhou Prefecture was thrown into this secret box.
Take my advice, this is not something you can play with.
You have a smart mind. You have only been in the Li family for a few years and you were appreciated by Master Li. He gave you the surname Li and was transferred from the kitchen to the caravan. It would be great if you use this money to make friends with some of the stewards of the Li family. Maybe in the future you will
You can also take care of things."
Li Jing smiled and said: "Even if I become a steward, I am just a servant of the Li family. Maybe I can actually use the secret box to develop some unparalleled magic skills and become famous."
The shopkeeper shook his head and unleashed a peerless magical skill? How could it be so easy?
There are indeed many legends in the world. Some people have found treasures from seemingly inconspicuous secret boxes, but they are always a minority. Most of them are a waste of money, and the chances are pitiful.
But he himself sells secret boxes. He thinks that Li Jing is also a pitiful person, so he reminds him a few words, but since the other party insists on buying it, can he still refuse to sell it?
Just when he was about to take the secret box, Chu Xiu suddenly said: "Wait a minute, shopkeeper, I want all these secret boxes."
Just when the shopkeeper called out Li Jing's name and identity, Chu Xiu thought of his identity.
He is the warrior who once got a great opportunity from Yuanbao Town. He was born as a slave, but ended up relying on the magic skills from the secret box to dominate the world and become the overlord of one party.
And listening to Li Jing's words, the other party is indeed the kind of person who is unwilling to be ordinary. Otherwise, a waste with no ambitions will not be able to reach that step even if he uses the magic power. The final outcome is likely to be that he is killed. The magic power
Being robbed.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu secretly said that it was a lucky thing that he came in time. He only knew that there was such a thing, but he did not know the precise time. If he came a step later, the opportunity would be gone.
Li Jing frowned and said, "This young master was the one I wanted to buy first."
Chu Xiu glanced at him and said, "Now that I say I want them all, do you have any objections?"
Li Jing's face showed a trace of anger, and he snorted coldly: "Does this young master think that I, Li Jing, am just a servant and can be easily bullied? I am from the Li family of Tongzhou Prefecture!"
Tongzhou Prefecture is a large city in Wei County, and the Li family is one of the three major families in Tongzhou Prefecture.
A seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister. Although he is only a servant of the Li family, some rundown families in small places are really not as good as him. Even some people from small families have to grovel in front of the stewards of the Li family.
Chu Xiu looked at him and sneered: "I said before that I didn't want to be a servant for the rest of my life, but when things happen, why don't you want to use the Li family to show off your power? You, a servant, also want to use the Li family to suppress me? I don't know what to say!"
After Chu Xiu finished speaking, several servants behind him immediately gathered around and looked at Li Jing eagerly.
He had learned martial arts because he was appreciated by the third son of the Li family, but he was a servant after all, and he only learned some superficial kung fu, and his strength was only at the body tempering level. Naturally, he couldn't defeat so many people with a small force and a large number.
So he could only watch Chu Xiu take away all the dozen secret boxes in the shop. For some reason, besides feeling humiliated, he also felt heartache, as if he had something important.
It was as if someone had taken it away.
After Chu Xiu left, Li Jing gritted his teeth bitterly, this matter would never be over!
He has been in the Li family for so many years. Although he is just a servant, he is a member of Third Young Master Li and has made friends with many important people!
At this time, after Chu Xiu got the secret box, he returned to the inn, kicked everyone out, and checked the secret boxes one by one.
Because this secret box is only used to preserve things, the way to open the secret box is very simple. Just drip blood on the secret box, and the formation will naturally be unlocked.
Of course, once the secret box is opened, because the sealing formation has been lost, the secret box will be completely scrapped and can no longer be used. This also eliminates the idea of anyone using the empty secret box to fish in troubled waters.
There were a total of seventeen secret boxes. Chu Xiu opened eight of them one after another, but seven of them were empty. One of them contained a book that had long been decayed. It was not a martial art, but only recorded the details of a sect's property.
The booklet is of no use.
Until Chu Xiu opened the ninth secret box. The secret box was made of brown stone and was only the size of a palm. It had no pattern decoration on it and looked very casual.
But after opening it, there was an ancient jade inside, exuding a faint warm light.
In ancient times, in order to better preserve the skills, some powerful people would not write the skills on paper, but would use their spiritual imprints to carve them into fine jade. As long as nothing happens, they will not be damaged for thousands of years.
.
"This is it!"
Chu Xiu held the jade slip with excitement, and suddenly large paragraphs of text poured into Chu Xiu's mind.
"The Taoist secret code, "Xiantian Gong"!"
The innate skill that Chu Xiu acquired is a branch of the Taoist lineage in ancient times. It is an inherited skill of Quanzhen Taoism. It cultivates the innate true Qi, resists all diseases, adjusts the deficiency and excess, and nourishes the foundation. The true Qi is endless.
The Taoist Kung Fu is the most basic and the most righteous and peaceful. Although this innate Kung Fu seems nothing special at first glance, it is ranked four in the evaluation of Kung Fu in the original plot.
People are strong and weak, and skills are also strong and weak. Although it is said that the strength of skills is related to the person who practices it. There are amazingly talented and beautiful people who can even dominate the world with low-level skills, but after all, they are only a minority, so there are still many people in the world.
The exercises are roughly divided into several levels.
There are nine turns in the normal exercise, with one being the lowest and nine being the highest.
Among them, the first three rounds of exercises can basically be regarded as the inherited exercises of a small sect. Ordinary Jianghu people can only practice fists and kicks, and they are not even qualified for the first round of exercises.
The skills of the third level are regarded as treasures in the world, and if you get them, you can start a sect.
As for the skills of the last three turns, they are basically in the hands of some powerful sects, and very few are in the hands of individuals.
There are two levels above the ninth level, one of which is the Supreme Kung Fu, which can dominate the world and become the supreme martial arts master.
There is also a peerless skill. As its name suggests, it is the most unparalleled method in the world at that time, and it is a legendary existence.
In addition to these levels, there are some miraculous skills in the world that cannot be measured by level. Some people are very weak after practicing them, but some people are very strong after practicing them, and some miraculous skills are a little weird.
The role of monsters cannot be calculated simply by their power.
This innate function was evaluated by later generations as the fourth transformation, and it can be used as a method to establish a sect, which naturally makes sense.
The foundation-building characteristics of Taoist Kung Fu are brought to the extreme by Xiantian Kung. Ordinary warriors need to lay a solid foundation for their practice from an early age. The older they are, the slower they progress. However, this is not the case with Xiantian Kung. It can quickly cleanse the warrior's body.
, no matter how old you are, you can reshape your foundation.
In the original plot, Li Jing obtained innate skills, but he was already quite old and had passed the best stage of martial arts training. It was precisely because of his innate skills that he was able to reshape his foundation and achieve rapid progress, even better than
Those disciples from aristocratic families who have practiced martial arts since childhood have stronger foundations.
The current situation of Chu Xiu is similar to that of Li Jing. Although he was born in the Chu family, there was actually no one to teach him when he was a child. There were basically no pills for foundation building, so his foundation was also extremely poor.
Incomparable.
But now with this innate skill, Chu Xiu can make up for this, and even make his martial arts path higher than that of martial artists of the same level from the starting point.
Looking at the remaining secret box in front of him, Chu Xiu also opened it. Unexpectedly, he discovered another skill. This skill did not appear in the original plot. Of course, it may have appeared.
But Chu Xiu didn't know.
This skill is not an internal skill, but a strange sword skill called "Blue Dragon in the Sleeve".
Chu Xiu has just started martial arts. Except for the famous skills in the original plot, even if the other skills are placed in front of him, he can't see whether they are good or bad. But from his current perspective,
The Qinglong in this sleeve is much better than the ordinary first-level martial arts passed down by the Chu family, and the weakest one should be the second-level martial arts.
The sword technique of Qinglong in this sleeve emphasizes the art of hiding the sword. The shape of the sword is hidden in the sleeve, and the intention of the sword is hidden in the body. When it is slashed out with one sword, it is like a blue dragon coming out of the sea, with boundless power.
That sword is the blue dragon, and the sleeve is the sea hiding the blue dragon. The whole sword technique is very simple, and its charm is only the most powerful sword struck by the green dragon at the moment when it comes out of the sea.
The main internal skill of the Chu family is the Hanhai Heart Technique. As for the other martial arts moves, they are not very strong. They are all ordinary martial arts, including fist and foot techniques, swords, guns and sticks. Which one you choose depends on your own preferences.
Although the Qinglong Chu Xiu in this sleeve cannot see the depth, it is definitely much better than the crude sword skills of the Chu family.
And when Chu Xiu opened the secret box, Li Jing, unwilling to be robbed by Chu Xiu, also went to another inn in Yuanbao Town to find a backer.
