When Xuan Ming talked about this, he couldn't help but drink three glasses of wine in a row. A blush appeared on his face and the conversation started completely.
"Jiang Chengzi is the best at forming cliques for private purposes. He has used the resources of the Dao Palace to recruit a large number of elders to cheer for him, and relying on his master-level martial arts cultivation, he can be said to be the master of the Dao Palace."
"Pindao was one of the elders at that time. Due to his physical constitution and the practice of thunder-attribute skills, he couldn't get used to Jiang Chengzi's domineering appearance, and he often had conflicts with him and his subordinates.
It’s a dog-legged fight.”
"After all, I was young and energetic, and acted poorly. Later, he caught a loophole and suppressed me severely. If it weren't for the prohibition on killing each other within the Taoist palace, I guess you wouldn't even be able to see me now."
"Even if he is like this, he has been suppressed so hard that he can't stand up, so that he has been wasting many years and has been unable to advance to the level of Grandmaster."
"If I hadn't met the sages and received guidance, I probably wouldn't have been able to turn over in this life."
Now Lin Ze's doubts were completely cleared up. No wonder Xuan Ming went out of his way to have a hard time with Jiang Chengzi. It turned out that they had been having trouble with each other in his early years.
Lin Ze felt that as a strong master in the master realm, Xuan Ming didn't have to rush to the front and get into trouble with another grandmaster even if he wanted to please the master of the Dao Palace.
When Xuan Ming said this, he filled another cup for himself, raised the cup with both hands and said: "I will remember the grace of the sages who became Taoists in my heart. If I need to go through fire and water in the future, just ask me, I will give you another drink."
After speaking, take a sip.
Lin Ze responded with a smile: "Elder Xuanming's breakthrough should be attributed to his own accumulation. I just helped and pushed him gently, which is not enough."
Xuan Ming said unhappily: "What the sage said is wrong. Don't you know whose credit it is? The sage said this to humiliate the poor man. You must never say it again in the future."
Lin Ze followed suit and said: "Since Elder Xuanming insists, if I need help in the future, I hope that Elder will not hesitate to help."
Lin Ze secretly said: Anyway, I have said that this matter has nothing to do with me. If you insist on giving me the credit, I will accept it. Don't be a fool when it comes to a master's promise.
Xuan Ming agreed: "That's natural."
After a pause, Xuan Ming continued: "Besides, for us, the Grandmaster realm may be the end of martial arts, but for the sages, it is probably just a part of the journey. With the abilities of the sages, it may not take long to return to the top.
"
"Speaking of which, Pindao hopes that when he encounters doubts about martial arts in the future, he can ask the sages for advice, or the sages are in need of someone to protect the Tao. How about Pindao protecting the Tao for the sages?"
To be honest, Lin Ze really wanted to agree to let Xuan Ming be the protector, as it sounded very noble, but he was afraid that the Emperor of Qin would kill him as soon as he brought the person into Chang'an.
Lin Ze heard clearly the conversation between Lu Chunqiu and Xu Fu before he died. Killing multiple people for a certain purpose was not too easy for this emperor.
Therefore, Lin Ze shook his head and said: "No one can guarantee that one will reach a certain height in the martial arts. Only through diligence can one get closer to the limit."
"If Elder Xuanming doesn't think that my martial arts is low, just ask if you have any questions. As for protecting the road, forget it for now. A small tree protected by a big tree will never be able to become useful."
Xuan Ming said with a face full of approval: "It seems that the sages aspire to be higher than the master."
Lin Ze smiled slightly: "Elder Xuanming is joking, who among the warriors in the world doesn't want to live forever?"
Xuan Ming said in awe: "I originally thought that the aspirations of the sages were in the clouds, but now I see that the aspirations of the sages are above the nine heavens."
…
After eating and drinking at Xuanming's residence, Lin Ze did not rush to the library again. Instead, he returned to the courtyard of his temporary residence and opened the box containing the sixth-grade earth treasure.
Lin Ze fiddled with it for a few times before pulling out a sixth-grade blood coral. He said with a satisfied smile on his face: "Let's change the taste today, cold blood coral."
Then he took out the Tianwen Sword, cut the entire arm-thick blood coral into shreds, and put it on two large plates.
It wasn't that Lin Ze deliberately wasted the treasure and used the Tianwen Sword as a kitchen knife, but because of the characteristics of the sixth-grade blood coral, ordinary swords really couldn't do anything to it.
Apart from the Tianwen Sword, Lin Ze had no other magic weapon in his hand, so he could only make do with it. As for whether Gongsun Qi would be so angry with him that he could chop him with a palm, he didn't care.
Lin Ze took a few blood coral threads and put them into his mouth. The blood coral melted in his mouth and turned into a strong blood and vitality that spread throughout his body.
Lin Ze picked up the God of War Illustrated Book, turned it into zhenqi to the greatest extent, and stored it in his dantian.
After the refining was completed, Lin Ze communicated with Xiao Jin in his mind and asked: "At this rate, how many days will it take for me to try to break through to the fifth level?"
Xiao Jin replied: "If the host does not care about the cost and uses all the six-grade earth treasures to practice, as early as half a month or as late as a month, the true energy in the Dantian will be full and overflowing, and then the host can take the opportunity to break through to the fifth grade.
Already."
After hearing this, Lin Ze nodded secretly and continued to ask: "To break through the fifth level, you must condense the meridians and guide the true energy of the Dantian to other parts of the body before it can be considered successful. Do you have any good methods to help me?
Successfully condensed meridians and breakthrough?"
Xiao Jin replied: "For the host, condensing the meridians is not a problem. As long as the time comes, it will be a matter of course. But since the host is determined to be the strongest warrior, naturally he cannot let it go."
"Fifth-grade warriors are divided into strong and weak ones mainly in three aspects. One is the quality of the true energy. When this host is in the fourth-grade realm, it can stand out from the same level, so it will naturally not be a problem."
"The quality of the condensed meridians mainly refers to the size and solidity of the condensed meridians. The width of the meridians directly affects the output of true energy, which also represents how explosive the warrior can be.
The degree of solidity represents the length of time for the true energy to explode, that is, the warrior's ability to sustain combat."
"The three are the number of condensed fine veins. The eight main veins and the twelve major branch veins are what a warrior must condense if he wants to break through the sixth level. The other fine veins are condensed, and each warrior is different according to the exercises and secret techniques he practices.
, the quantity and quality of the agglomeration are also different.”
"According to literature, every time a warrior gathers an extra vein, his combat power increases."
Lin Ze suddenly thought: "According to what you said, what I have to do now is to condense the first main vein as big and strong as possible, the better."
Xiao Jin replied: "To correct the host, it is impossible to condense the meridians normally. The size and solidity increase at the same time. This is basically related to the physique of the warrior."
"If the warrior's physique is not strong enough, the body will not be able to withstand the shock caused by the explosion of true energy in the meridians, and it will only cause hidden diseases in the end. Every time he strikes with all his strength in the future, it is a chronic suicide, and sooner or later he will collapse."
"After the host condenses the meridians and widens them, the walls of the meridians will become weaker. Therefore, the greater the broadening, the less solid the meridians will be. Therefore, the host needs to try to condense the meridians to the maximum extent possible while ensuring that they are strong and usable."
Lin Ze thought for a while, and it was easy to understand. Like the water pipes in later generations, the bigger the pipes were, the thicker they would be. If they were too thin, the water flow would pass through them quickly, and the pipes might burst.
In Xiao Jin's description, the material used by warriors to condense the meridians is certain. The volume of the ring remains unchanged. The larger the diameter, the narrower the width.
