#62 - It is the way of Qingwan (4000 words, two chapters in one)

After arriving at the Blood Floating Pagoda for a month, Xu Ming gradually adapted to life there.

Remember the domain name of the first website: 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Every day was nothing but training.

However, compared to Xu Ming's random training in the courtyard, the Blood Floating Pagoda's training methods were obviously more systematic and in line with "Martial Artist Science."

Instructor Wang Meng seemed to be a foul-mouthed man who cursed at every turn, but in reality, Wang Meng was very meticulous.

Wang Meng was in charge of the ten people in the Four-Eight-Four camp, and he was extremely clear about each person's physical fitness and shortcomings.

In addition to intensive boxing training, Wang Meng would formulate personal training plans for each individual, and he would accurately squeeze out your last bit of strength every day, allowing you to break through your limits again and again.

To be honest, this kind of training life was really painful, even with a feeling of being worse than death.

But every morning, when you wake up, you can clearly feel yourself getting stronger little by little.

It seems that all of this is worth it.

In terms of food, Xu Ming initially thought that the Blood Floating Pagoda ate ordinary food.

Later, Xu Ming realized that the rice eaten in the Blood Floating Pagoda was all irrigated with spirit springs, and the meat eaten was all the flesh and blood of demonic beasts.

This kind of demonic beast is called "Red-haired Pig", and they are all raised in the ten Blood Floating Pagoda military villages. They are very effective in replenishing the Qi and blood of martial artists, and they are also very easy to fill the stomach.

Otherwise, with each martial artist's appetite being so large, how many pigs would have to be slaughtered every day? How much rice would have to be cooked?

This is not a matter of cost, but a matter of time.

In addition, according to each martial artist's physical condition, Wang Meng regularly gave each person different medicinal materials, some of which were used to take to regulate breathing, and some were used to apply to the body to strengthen muscles and bones.

Now Xu Ming also understood why among the three major iron armies of the Wu Kingdom, the number of Dragon Leopard Iron Cavalry and Iron Tiger Army fluctuated between 50,000 and 70,000, while the Blood Floating Pagoda would never exceed 100,000.

It's very simple.

They can't afford to support them.

The combat power of these 100,000 carefully selected and well-nurtured martial artists is terrifying, but the cost is extremely high!

However, the Wu Kingdom would not be reluctant to use the Blood Floating Pagoda just because each of them is precious.

According to Xu Ming's understanding, the Blood Floating Pagoda has the highest frequency of performing tasks.

The Blood Floating Pagoda goes out to perform tasks every short period of time.

If you die, you die, and someone will replace you when you die.

If you die, it means you are not qualified.

In addition, after about a year, the recruits will undergo an assessment.

Xu Ming heard that there were 1,000 recruits in the First Military Village, and only 500 people could stay at that time.

The other 500 people will either go to other ordinary armies, or go back to farming, doing business, or being bodyguards, doing whatever they should be doing.

"Today, I will specifically talk to you about what a martial artist is."

In the sixth month that Xu Ming entered the Blood Floating Pagoda, when everyone's blood energy reached the peak of the Quicksilver Realm, Wang Meng began to lecture.

"I believe you are all clear about the realm of martial artists.

I'll repeat it again, martial artists are divided into ten realms.

Body Refinement Three Realms: Clay Embryo Realm, Wooden Fetus Realm, Quicksilver Realm.

Qi Refinement Three Realms: Heroic Soul Realm, Majestic Spirit Realm, Martial Courage Realm.

Spirit Refinement Three Realms: Golden Body Realm, Astral Projection Realm, Summit Realm.

Tenth Realm - Termination Realm."

Xu Ming and the other nine were squatting in a horse stance while carrying a thousand catties of black iron.

And Wang Meng was wandering around while lecturing.

"The Body Refinement Three Realms correspond to the lower five realms of Qi Refiners.

For those cultivators, they cannot be called mountain people until they reach the Cave Mansion Realm, at most they are considered Jianghu Taoists.

And for us martial artists, it is the same."

Wang Meng saw that one person's horse stance was too upright, kicked him in the butt, and continued.

"The Body Refinement Three Realms can be reached by anyone! The average realm of ordinary constables in our Wu Kingdom is in the Wooden Fetus Realm, and the head constable is in the Quicksilver Realm.

So don't think that you are so great because you have reached the Quicksilver Realm at a young age.

I'm telling you! Those who can enter the Blood Floating Pagoda! All have entered the Quicksilver Realm before the age of fifteen!

The most critical thing is the Qi Refinement Three Realms - Heroic Soul, Majestic Spirit, Martial Courage!

Countless martial artists have wasted half their lives and still find it difficult to enter the Heroic Soul Realm.

Only when you enter the Heroic Soul Realm can you be considered to have truly entered the hall of martial arts.

Forge a Heroic Soul, your souls will be difficult to disperse, and ordinary soul techniques will be ineffective against you.

Achieve a Majestic Spirit, ordinary demons and ghosts will retreat three points when they see you, and your roar can make the other party's soul fly away.

Form Martial Courage, when you step forward, your fist energy and blood energy will be so strong that ordinary cultivators will tremble when they see you!

This is a martial artist!

When you reach the Qi Refinement Realm, one realm can be worth three realms of ordinary Qi Refiners!

How should I explain it to you guys?

Wang Meng thought for a while: "Let's give an example, a common Heroic Soul Realm martial artist and a common Cave Mansion Realm Qi Refiner fight.

Basically, the Heroic Soul Realm martial artist can win.

If the other party is one realm higher than you, a Sea Gazing Realm cultivator fights with you, you are basically 50-50.

If it is a Dragon Gate Realm cultivator fighting with you, you will definitely lose beyond ten meters.

But if you can get within ten meters, most Dragon Gate Realm Qi Refiners will be in grave danger.

Of course, this refers to those who specialize in Taoism. For sword cultivators, it is very troublesome.

Even if you get close to those sword cultivators, they are not easy to fight, but they will not be as annoying as those Qi Refiners who throw spells all day long.

But what I said is relative.

Both sides' battles consider many factors, the right time, the right place, and the right people, the number and quality of the other party's magic weapons, whether your weapon is good or bad, and your state of mind at the time, etc.

Remember! All the realms in the world are artificially named according to a certain stage of cultivation.

There is no such thing as you are invincible if you are one realm higher than me.

There is no such thing!

No matter how much lower the other party's realm is than you! You can't relax! People may be able to cut your throat with a sword!

No matter how much higher the other party's realm is than you! You can't be afraid! You may also be able to smash his head with a punch!

We martial artists must believe in our fists. Once a punch is delivered, we will no longer think about retreat!

There is no absolute realm. Only the person who lives to the end is the winner!

Do you understand?"

"Understood." Everyone answered.

"Damn it, didn't you eat? I'm asking you if you understand?"

"Understood!"

"Very good, very energetic, do you have any questions? Ask quickly, I will only teach this basic course once." Wang Meng spat.

"Instructor! I have a question!" Xiong Haizhi said loudly.

Wang Meng kicked him in the butt: "If you have a question, just say it directly, don't be so nagging, like a sissy!"

"I heard my dad say! Martial arts is a dead end! Why!" Xiong Haizhi asked loudly.

→

Listening to this question, everyone's minds also condensed. They also wanted to know the answer, after all, no one wanted to be said to be on a dead end after practicing for a lifetime.

"Why?" Wang Meng sneered, "Because martial artists have short lifespans! That's the reason!"

Wang Meng carried his hands on his back:

"Think about it with your pig brains, people with spiritual roots went to cultivate long ago. Cultivating to the Cave Mansion Realm gives you five hundred years of life, while we martial artists only have five hundred years even if we cultivate to the Termination Realm!

What is this if not a dead end?

If you want a long lifespan, go be a cultivator.

If you don't have spiritual roots, then honestly practice martial arts!

Besides, so what if the lifespan is not long?

I have blown up I don't know how many Dragon Gate Realm heads? What if they have a thousand years of life? Didn't they still die in my hands?"

"Instructor, how many Termination Realm martial artists are there?" Back-headed man Li Han asked.

Wang Meng replied: "As far as I know, there are a total of twenty Termination Realm martial artists, two in our Wu Kingdom, one in each of the other ten dynasties, and I forgot where the others are, but it should be around this number."

"Instructor, I heard that there is a realm above the Termination Realm?" Xu Ming asked.

When Xu Ming asked this, everyone looked at Xu Ming, and Wang Meng also chuckled a few times:

"You kid, you have high aspirations, you are already thinking about the realm above the Termination Realm."

As he spoke, Wang Meng raised his head, and his eyes also carried a bit of longing.

"The Termination Realm is divided into three layers - Complete Body, Flourishing Qi, and Full Spirit.

Currently, there are only five people who can reach the third layer of the Termination Realm, and one of them is in our Wu Kingdom.

Martial artists call it a dead end, and it is in this place.

All the martial artists who have reached the third layer of the Termination Realm have said in person that they feel that the Termination Realm is not the end!

There is still a road above the Termination Realm!

It's just that no one has walked out of this road yet.

It's like the lost two realms of Qi Refiners.

However, unlike Qi Refiners, the lost two realms really existed in ancient times.

But the martial artist realm above the Termination Realm has never appeared so far.

Some people have named the final realm above the Termination Realm - Martial God Realm.

Martial Dao becomes a god, the human body becomes a world of its own, equal to the Great Dao!"

After Wang Meng finished speaking, Xu Ming and the others all looked at Wu Yanh.

Wu Yanhan frowned.

"I know what you are thinking."

Wang Meng waved his hand.

"You must have heard that Wu Yanhan is a Martial God Body, but a Martial God Body does not necessarily have to enter the Martial God Realm to be called a Martial God Body.

Rather, the Martial God Body is the most likely physique to enter the Martial God Realm, so it is called the Martial God Body.

Wu Yanhan, don't think that you can relax because you are a Martial God Body, thinking that your martial arts are invincible.

To date, there have been a total of one hundred and twenty-one known Martial God Physiques in history. The lowest realm was the eighth realm of martial arts—the Far Excursion Realm, and the highest realm was the third level of the Limitless Realm—God's Content.

You have a physique more suitable for martial arts than others. Your lower limit is very high, but even without the Martial God Physique, people can still reach your position, or even surpass you!

Cultivate diligently, and take each step steadily. That is more important than anything else!

Listening to Wang Meng's words, Wu Yanhan glanced at Xu Ming, who had fought to a draw with her, and replied coldly, "I know."

"Knowing is good."

Wang Meng picked up a water bottle from the ground and took a sip.

"I heard that the Rootless Secret Realm, which opens once every five hundred years, will open in four years. Qi Refiners below the Dragon Gate Realm, as well as those in the Dragon Gate Realm, can participate.

Martial artists in the Heroic Soul Realm can participate, and we Bloodfloat have three spots.

Work hard and see if you have the ability to take a trip to the Rootless Secret Realm.

When the time comes, various geniuses will gather, and you will know the gap between yourself and those geniuses!

However, this is not the time for you to consider that.

What you need to think about is the assessment in half a year. Failure will result in leaving Bloodfloat.

You little bastards, if you're weak, train more!"

Wang Meng used a branch to whip the ground: "Tie the black iron on your shoulders to your feet! Run ten miles for me! The last one to finish! No food at noon today!"

As soon as Wang Meng finished speaking, Xu Ming and the others quickly tied the black iron to their feet and ran forward.

"These little bastards."

Wang Meng smiled, his eyes narrowed, and his gaze focused on Xu Ming, Wu Yanhan, and another boy.

"Will the dead end of martial arts be broken by you three?"

Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, Heavenly Mystery Gate.

Wang Xuan passed through that Thread of Sky and arrived at this sea of flowers.

In the center of the sea of flowers, a girl wearing a cyan Heavenly Mystery Gate Taoist robe sat cross-legged, suspended in the air.

Between the girl's eyebrows, the runes evolved from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth were faintly visible, like a flower decoration on the girl's forehead.

Compared to when the little girl arrived at the age of six, the girl had grown a lot at this time, her long hair just reaching the girl's willow waist.

Different from the childishness of when she was six years old, the ten-year-old girl's features were becoming more and more delicate, and her body was subtly developing like a willow tree sprouting.

The Heavenly Dao energy gathered around the girl, and everything around her seemed to be integrated with the girl.

But the next moment, circles of ripples rippled around the girl, and the Dao energy gathered and then dissipated.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xuan shook his head, sighed softly, and called out gently: "Qingwan."

Hearing her master's voice, Qin Qingwan slowly opened her eyes.

It's hard to imagine that at the age of only ten, those pair of peach blossom eyes possessed a charm that surpassed many women.

If the girl continued to grow up, what kind of allure would she possess?

Qin Qingwan slowly fell from the air, walking step by step towards Wang Xuan, the Taoist wind brushed past, and the sea of flowers swayed.

"Master."

The girl walked to Wang Xuan and bowed.

"Qingwan, your heart is restless again." Wang Xuan looked at his disciple, "What is the reason?"

"Master, recently, the Blood Lotus opened for the second time," the girl's eyes curved.

Wang Xuan naturally knew about the agreement between his disciple and the boy named Xu Ming: "Qingwan, our lineage cultivates the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotion. Having him in your heart is not conducive to your cultivation. Four years later, when the Rootless Secret Realm opens, the Heavenly Mystery Gate has something that needs you to obtain, and your current realm is not enough."

Qin Qingwan blinked her eyes: "But Master, you said before that everyone has their own path, and Qingwan must walk her own path."

Wang Xuan nodded: "That's right."

Qin Qingwan: "Then why does Master want Qingwan to forget her own path?"

Wang Xuan looked into his disciple's eyes, puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

"Master wants Qingwan to have Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotion, but emotion is Brother Ming."

The girl smiled sweetly, and all the flowers lowered their heads.

"And Brother Ming is Qingwan's path."
