Fortunately, the Dragon Snake Lifting Technique is still very powerful. As long as the opponent is not good with a bow and crossbow, and he cannot defeat him, he can still guarantee his escape.
Unless the opponent also happens to be a good Qing Gong player.
Thinking of this, Zhang Rongfang raised his head and glanced at the sky.
Unknowingly, it has been a year since he came here...
During this year, the incident between Xiao Rong and his daughter made him realize the cruelty of this world.
Many times, it's not just that you want to be safe for a while.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Xintai looked at Zhang Rongfang's depressed mood and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
"Are you seventeen this year?"
"Well...seventeen."
"What are your thoughts in the future? Are you going to stay in Qinghe Palace? Become a martial artist for the rest of your life?" Zhang Xintai asked.
"I don't know...I haven't thought about it yet." Zhang Rongfang shook his head slightly.
"Don't you have a sister?"
"Yeah...it's far away, and we live in Dadu."
"With your qualifications and if you work harder, you might be able to work in Jixian Yuan. Jixian Yuan is also in Dadu. Then won't you be able to find your sister?" Zhang Xintai said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kind words." Zhang Rongfang smiled.
"Then what are your plans, senior brother?" he asked.
"I should be getting married soon." The corners of Zhang Xintai's mouth turned up, and there was an unstoppable glow on his face.
"Getting married?!" Zhang Rongfang blinked.
"Yes," Zhang Xintai said with a smile, "your sister-in-law is from Huaxin County, and she often comes to our place with her mother to pray for God and offer incense. After we go back and forth more times, we get to know each other."
"That's a good thing..." Zhang Rongfang said happily for him.
"Yes, you have to help me when the time comes."
"must!"
Seeing the senior brother's uncontrollable smile, Zhang Rongfang became even more confused.
Now that safety was initially guaranteed, he was even more unsure about what he would do in the future.
"Senior brother, if I keep practicing martial arts, how far can I go?"
"Keep practicing martial arts... With your qualifications, you should be able to practice Fu Dian to the third level in ten years. But after the third level, it will be very difficult." Zhang Xintai replied.
"Third grade? Why?" Zhang Rongfang was puzzled.
"In our martial arts, the third level to the fourth level is a threshold. It requires hard work. You started practicing martial arts too late, and your muscles and bones are somewhat finalized. It is a bit difficult to cross the third level."
Zhang Xintai changed his subject.
"But third-grade people are also very powerful. In our entire Qinghe Palace, there are only a few people of third-grade and above. Most of them are second- and first-grade people, and there are also people who are not popular.
When you reach that level, you can go to the imperial court and receive a salary, and you can also serve in the church. It can be said to be quite comfortable."
"Is it finalized? What about you, senior brother? You are still young, can't you continue to advance?" Zhang Rongfang asked.
"Why should I continue to advance? I have practiced martial arts hard every day for more than ten years. Now I can finally decide my own life. If I don't enjoy life and devote most of my life to martial arts, then why should I practice martial arts?"
Zhang Xintai asked rhetorically.
Zhang Rongfang was silent.
"Okay, don't think too much. As long as the martial arts is sufficient, it will be enough. The further you go, the more energy and time you spend and the less you get.
In addition, you have also been assigned to a rotating duty, right? Is it patrolling or going to the county seat? "
"Go to the county seat."
"Then remember to bring a letter to your sister-in-law for me."
"No problem. Where does my sister-in-law live? What is her name?"
"My name is Yang Hongyan. I will write down my address on the letter later."

Huaxin County, Mibang.
On Shanchong Street, the most prosperous street in the county, the best and most expensive place to eat and drink is Sihai Restaurant in the middle of the street.
At this time, the entire floor on the top floor of Sihai Restaurant was vacant, and not many people were sitting on the red tables and chairs.
A rice merchant in the city wearing a fur coat and silk satin stood scattered with his thugs.
Everyone's eyes fell on a tall woman sitting in the middle.
The woman has fair skin, gray hair, and crow's feet looming at the corners of her eyes. She is obviously not young.
A fire rat cloak wrapped her entire body tightly.
"The spring cold is here, and my body is a little weak, so I really can't bear it."
The woman lowered her head and coughed lightly.
"Everyone knows that my son, Shao Quanhu, is dead. We still don't know how he died."
She paused.
"My husband came back from Qinghe Palace and thought about this all day long. He didn't think about food or tea, and he was so thin that he was about to get sick.
I no longer have a son, and my son is involved in bandits. If there is evidence, I will admit it.
But if something happens to the husband as well, then...ahem...it's impossible to kill them all!?
Is he, Qinghe Palace, so vicious? He insists on putting our Mi Gang to death? He, Tang Sha, has great martial arts skills. If he really wants to be like this, what should I, a womanly person, do?"
"Gang leader, Qinghe Palace only has Tang Sha, Chen Heqiu, and Zhang Xuan. The three of them are very strong. The rest are just mediocre. If we want to deal with them, we can recruit the Black Fist Sect to do it together."
A strong man with a black eagle tattoo on his neck said in a deep voice while spinning two iron gallbladders in his hand.
"Although in the eyes of the entire world, Qinghe Palace is nothing, just a third-rate sect.
Hui Chun Jing Shi Fu Dian can be used to maintain health, but if you really want to fight, it will be like that.
But, within this hundred-mile radius, the influence of the Qinghe Palace in the government is not small." Another dark-skinned man said in a low voice.
"This is not normal. I went to the Qinghe Palace a few days ago and discussed the art of immortality with the literary masters there. Who doesn't want to live longer if they have some money these days?"
An old woman with white hair said with a strange smile while holding a black wooden cane.
"Actually..." Shao Quanhu, who was wearing a fire rat cloak, spoke again.
"Tang Sha didn't kill them all at that time, he deliberately left some room and let my son go.
I have already found out this. It's just that my son died suddenly on the way back. The scars on his body when he died were the traces of the Fudian's moves in the Rejuvenation Purity Period.
And it’s a secret technique to break limits, traces of heavy mountains.”
"Chongshan... In the entire Qinghe Palace, there are only three people who can understand and understand the talismans to the extreme. There are only three people who can understand Chongshan..." The tattooed strong man holding the iron gall frowned.
"A Chen Heqiu, but he is already old. As the palace master, it is impossible for him to take action on this matter. There is no need to leave such obvious traces to deal with a junior.
The second one, Zhang Xuan, made a name for himself outside twenty years ago, but then disappeared for unknown reasons.
The third one is Tang Sha, and there is no doubt that Tang Sha is the most suspect."
"It's not Tang Sha. He was with Chen Baihu at the time, and there were many witnesses who saw him there." Shao Quanhu shook his head slowly.
"That means...Zhang Xuan?" The brave man's eyes turned cold.
"Is it possible that there is a fourth person who has understood the mountain?" someone said.
"Impossible. The basis for understanding the Secret Technique of Chongshan is to refine the Yue Shape Talisman to the extreme. Then you have to break the limit again before you can understand its deepest secret. Even my husband can't do this." Shao Quan.
Protector denied.
Her husband is Chen Wuyou's father, Chen Zhihan, who is also the owner of the inspection room of Qinghe Palace and a true master of the fifth rank.
Even he couldn't do it, which shows how difficult this move is.
"My husband has mentioned that if you don't have more than 30 years of experience in the secret skills of the Chongshan Mountains, you can't even scratch the surface of it.
From this point of view, the most likely person is Zhang Xuan." Shao Quanhu's face became increasingly gloomy.
"Fifth grade, it's really amazing... Since Zhang Xuan dares to kill my son and is so unscrupulous, then everyone doesn't have to worry about anything."
She lowered her head and coughed again, and there were faint traces of blood on the handkerchief covering her mouth.
"Old Ding, you owe me your life, now you can pay it back..."
The iron gall in the strong man's hand suddenly stopped and was thrown to the thug behind him.
"Gang leader, please tell me."
"Zhang Xuan's son, Zhang Xintai, has a sweetheart in the city and is expected to get engaged in the near future.
Mr. Zhang Xuan will definitely come by then, if I want him, the wedding will become a funeral!"
The weakness in Shao Quanhu's eyes turned dark and piercing in an instant.
"Okay!" The brawny man of Thorn Eagle grinned. "I have long wanted to fight Niubi from Qinghe Palace. It depends on whether his tattered talisman is stronger or the black sand palm of my rice gang."
"Be careful. After all, he has already cultivated the Talisman of Rejuvenation and Purity to the fifth level. According to his level, you are still far behind." Shao Quanhu said softly.
"We will capture his son first." The strong man said without comment.
The level is just the number of times you break the limit. What determines the outcome is the strength of the martial arts itself and the differences between people.
The squirrel breaks through the limit once, and the tiger breaks through the limit once. Both are at the first level, but can they be said to be equally strong?
"The Fudian of the Rejuvenation and Purification Time can be used to cure diseases and save people, and the effect is quite good. As for the discussion between the rivers and lakes..." the old woman with a black wooden cane said softly. "When the time comes, I will send a team of iron slaves here, plus Daozhang Chen.
Together, that’s enough.”
Iron slaves refer to black men with strong bodies, who have practiced rudimentary Black Iron Palm Kungfu, and wear a full set of equipment made of thick leather. Even ordinary masters are difficult to defeat in a short time.

Deep in the forest of Hongshan Mountain.
A man in short-distance fighting uniforms quickly practiced his footwork back and forth in the forest.
The breeze blows and the fallen leaves are flying.
The birds soared into the sky, whirled in circles, and screamed.
It is getting late and the clouds are beginning to thicken.
Suddenly, the man who was walking halfway stopped suddenly and looked happy.
"It's done!"
Zhang Rongfang took a long breath and kicked the fallen leaves away under his feet.
After more than a month, finally...
He stared at the attribute bar at the bottom of his field of vision. Behind the skills, there was finally a new skill.
Charm of vitality.
just now.
Before he had finished practicing the Vital Talisman footwork for the thirtieth time, he saw vague writing appearing in the attribute column.
At this time, his attributes, after more than a month of accumulation, have become.
‘Zhang Rongfang—Life 16-16.
Skills: Rejuvenation and Purification Time Talisman - Yue Shape Talisman (Limit Breaking) (Limit Breaking Skill: Heavy Mountain),
Guanxu Gong (the first level of essence).
Dragon Snake Lifting Technique (Mastery).
Talisman of Vitality (Introductory).
Available attributes:4.’
During these times, my life has improved a little, all because of my own practice.
However, the four attributes obtained by taking drugs to replenish blood are all useless.
I've drunk most of the medicinal ingredients and saved up a few attribute points, but I still haven't started using the Vitality Talisman.
It made him a little anxious.
Until now.
Look at the words Vitality Talisman clearly appearing in the attribute bar.
A big stone fell completely in Zhang Rongfang's heart.
"Go back to your room, go back to your room, and fill up the vitality charms in one go this time!"
Full of expectations, he packed up his things and hurried towards Qinghe Palace.
