Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 243
After a period of time, Xiaoyao also gradually showed off her top-notch qualifications.

Seven days, in just seven days, she completed the first skin grinding, and the realm of body training reached the level of hard skin.

This is because her physique is still a little weak, and she has not laid the foundation for cultivation in advance, so her initial cultivation foundation is not good.

Otherwise, the speed of this body refining breakthrough will only be faster!

"People calculate their cultivation breakthrough speed by months or years," Xu Guan sighed inwardly, but he gradually accepted the little girl's extraordinary talent.

Her innate qualifications are no different from cheating to others.

Xiaoyao lived an extremely fulfilling life every day after that, and she still did not forget her own job even while practicing.

Xu Guan's little maid served Xu Guan with tea and water, took care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard, kept the room clean, and even started preparing meals for Xu Guan after learning cooking skills by herself.

I have to say that as long as she is willing, she can pick up anything quickly and has a strong learning ability.

Although Xu Guan didn't need such meticulous care from her, seeing that she was enjoying it, he didn't interfere too much and allowed her to develop freely.

Time to June.

"Today the Yuanxian Pavilion is open to the public. Each guest will receive drinks and food at half price!"

On this day, in a lively neighborhood in the city, a seven-story restaurant was decorated with lights and officially opened for business.

Several energetic waiters shouted vigorously at the door, ushering the customers passing by on the street into the restaurant.

With the mentality of trying something new, plus the restaurant's discount promotion today, many diners have entered this restaurant.

All of a sudden, the inside and outside of the restaurant seemed very lively.

Xu Gu'an looked at this magnificent restaurant and had to say that the public location was chosen very well and the flow of people was huge.

As long as this restaurant is not run haphazardly and the food is disgusting, it can make a lot of money.

"Very good." Xu Gu'an nodded, acknowledging Zhang Yang's hard work these days.

In addition to this restaurant, there is also an inn, and two shops have been opened one after another after full preparation.

As for the largest trading house and several other industries, preparations are more difficult and will need to be started later.

In short, Zhang Yang is starting to make a profit. With more funds and influence, he can do more for Xu Guan.

"Son."

In the restaurant, the waiters and other employees immediately stood to greet Xu Guan when they saw him arriving, looking extremely respectful.

They all knew that despite Xu Guan's young age, he was the big boss behind this restaurant.

Under the leadership of Zhang Yang, Xu Guan walked around the newly opened restaurant. He did not need to worry about the subsequent operations of the restaurant, as there would be dedicated people in charge.

It was at this time that the dozens of management talents that had been scouted came in handy.

After returning from the restaurant, Xu Guan suddenly felt something in his heart, and seemed to feel something, and a touch of joy appeared on his face.

"finally come!"

He stepped a few steps closer to the inner courtyard of the mansion.

"Master, you are back." Xiaoyao was meditating and resting among the flowers in a corner of the courtyard. When she saw Xu Guan coming back in a hurry, she couldn't help but get up.

"It's okay, you go about your business." Xu Guan waved his hand and entered the back room alone. He immediately sat down cross-legged, and his mind sank into his body to comprehend.

When he was on the way, he vaguely felt the opportunity for a breakthrough in cultivation, so he hurried back.

In fact, his cultivation of innate external strength had been completed half a month ago.

External energy fills the Dantian, which is endless and endless.

Different from the body refining period, at this time in the Xiantian realm, you need to wait for a breakthrough opportunity.

If there is no instant enlightenment and this opportunity cannot be grasped, even if the external energy is perfect, it will be difficult to go further and break through to the level of internal energy.

What is more tested at this time is the practitioner's personal understanding.

If one's understanding and qualifications are not high, it will always be difficult for him to achieve enlightenment and breakthrough, and it is common for him to stagnate in his external strength cultivation for several years or decades.

In addition, in addition to meeting innate conditions such as understanding and aptitude, the breakthrough of internal energy also requires the right time, place and people, which is relatively more metaphysical.

Some people are asleep and suddenly have a flash of inspiration and are about to achieve a breakthrough. Some people are taking a shower and changing clothes, but they cannot seize the opportunity for breakthrough and end up with regrets.

Xu Guan's opportunity for a sudden breakthrough came while he was walking, which surprised even him.

But no matter what, this is definitely a good thing.

His Dragon Elephant Innate Skill has reached the super-limit level, and now that the opportunity for breakthrough has arrived, he does not allow himself the possibility of failure.

At this moment, in the Dantian within his body, an external force was flowing in a mysterious pattern, reacting and interacting with his body.

As Xu Guan's innate skills started to operate, the external energy began to change in essence.

The fierce external energy continued to dissipate from Dantian and merged into Xu Guan's whole body's muscles and periosteum in a unique way.

Under Xu Gu'an's internal guidance, he was also observing the changes while running the exercises to prevent accidents.

The breakthrough process of turning external energy into internal energy is actually dangerous to a certain extent.

He has heard that some cultivators were not sure when making breakthroughs and went wrong in their practice. As a result, the transformation process of external energy was out of control, causing meridians all over the cultivator's body to be severed, damaging the foundation of cultivation, and never having the opportunity to practice martial arts again in this life.

There are more than one or two such incidents, and the probability is actually not small.

Therefore, even Xu Guan has to be prepared now.

Fortunately, his super-limited innate skill plays an important role, basically eliminating the possibility of losing control of his external energy.

About an hour later, all the external energy in Xu Guan's body had disappeared, and his Dantian was empty.

But his aura reached its peak at this time, reaching an unprecedented high.

After a moment, Xu Guan took a deep breath, and his breath quickly calmed down again, even more restrained than before the breakthrough.

If we say that innate external strength is like an unsheathed sharp blade, its sharp edge is exposed and its momentum is like thunder.

That innate inner energy is like a sword that has been sheathed again. Its edge is deep and restrained. If it doesn't come out, the world will be shattered!
With some small and slight sounds in the body, Xu Gu'an only felt that the muscles, bones and epidermis of his whole body were reshaped and reshaped, as if an electric current was flowing through his whole body, which was extremely numb.

After a long time, Xu Guan let out a long breath and stopped exercising.

Innate inner strength, done!
At this moment, under the inner vision and inner guidance, there was no energy left in his body.

His strength has not disappeared, but has been deeply hidden in the skin of his muscles and bones.

Internal energy is also called dark energy. Now he does not need to deliberately mobilize it, and the energy explodes from the inside out from the Dantian.

As long as he is willing, he can now unleash his inner energy anytime and anywhere with every move he makes, making it difficult for people to guard against him.

Xu Gu'an maintained the posture of sitting cross-legged, and punched violently.

boom! boom! boom!
The fist wind roared, forming an undercurrent and emitting a series of sonic booms, which rang out for more than ten times.

"This is inner strength!" Xu Guan muttered.

It is indeed much stronger than the external force, and the way of activating the force is also very different.Xu Guan still needs some time to adapt to his first breakthrough.

"This internal energy will be matched with my physical strength." Xu Guan secretly planned.

The specific increase in strength required for his breakthrough in cultivation requires further actual combat testing.

Since then, Xu Gu'an's strength has stepped up to a big level, and he has stepped into the inner strength stage as he wished, which can be regarded as an end to his recent concern.

That night, Xu Guan finished his meal. After the meal, Xiaoyao said cautiously: "Master, you are in such a good mood today, but what good news is there?"

Even Xiaoyao could tell that Xu Guan was in a good mood today. It must be said that she was very good at observing people's emotions.

During this time together, she has been able to read many of Xu Guan's micro-expressions.

"It's just that I have become better in practice." Xu Guan said truthfully without hiding anything.

Of course, Xiaoyao has just started practicing and still doesn't understand anything about the innate realm.

But in any case, practicing diligently is indeed an excellent thing for any cultivator, and it is normal to be happy.

"Congratulations, young master, you have made another step forward!" Xiao Yao immediately congratulated.

"You should also step up your practice and remember not to slack off even a little bit." Xu Gu'an reminded.

Now he is Xiaoyao's master and half master. He often supervises and is very strict with Xiaoyao. He always has high requirements and high standards.

"Yes, young master." Xiaoyao agreed immediately.

Watching Xiao Yao take away the dishes, Xu Gu'an's thoughts also fell on Xiao Yao.

After the incident involving the invading Vulcan cultists, no one else has appeared to arrest Xiao Yao until now.

Currently, the city is under martial law, and especially those cultists are being searched and monitored. Under such circumstances, the crime rate in the city has plummeted. Maybe those cultists can't find a suitable opportunity to sneak in again.

Or, the other party had simply given up on their plan to arrest Xiaoyao.

But no matter what, he still had to protect Xiaoyao.

He didn't want the peaches he had worked so hard to grow to be picked by others in the end.

"It would always be inconvenient if I was the only one to watch it. Now that my cultivation level has broken through, I feel like I have a big stone in my heart. It's time to resolve this matter." Xu Guan thought in his mind.

A day later, Xu Gu'an rode out of Suicheng alone. This was the first time he left the city after coming here.

After riding for several kilometers, Xu Guan turned around and looked around.

Suicheng is still like a giant black lion, lying on the cliff, overlooking the endless plains and hills below.

In fact, this plateau is not just a lonely Suicheng, there are also many buildings scattered outside the city.

There are garrison fortresses that guard Suicheng, as well as villages and towns and other gathering places of various sizes that rely on the deterrence of Suicheng.

When he arrived, Xu Guan didn't pay much attention to these human gathering places along the edge. After all, they were too small compared to Suicheng.

Like those dim stars beside the moon, no one would count them.

Xu Guan didn't pay attention to these fortresses and villages until he left the city.

The horses were running in the established direction, and the roads built along the way extended in all directions, closely connecting these villages and towns with Suicheng.

Together, these villages and towns formed the entire economic and trade circle of Suicheng.

If you want to get rich, build roads first. Obviously this principle works everywhere.

Among the gatherings of villages and towns outside these big cities, there is a rather special existence.

Donburg.

A huge fortress built by the Tang family in Suicheng, where all the members of the Tang family live.

They are special beings.

For the sake of security and better development, all the forces in the city have located their family headquarters in the city.

Only the Tang family chose to spend a lot of money and manpower to build such a Tang castle outside the city.

No one knows what the Tang family thinks, only a few conspiracy theorists have some dark speculations in their minds.

But as time goes by, more than ten years have passed, and many speculations about Tangbao have long since disappeared.

Today's Tangbao is a landmark building on the edge of the big city, and it is also one of the top family forces in Suicheng.

Xu Guan rode all the way and saw such a Tang Castle from a distance.

It is said to be a castle, but looking at it surrounded by walls, it is no different from a military fortress.

Xu Guan passed by the heavily guarded Tang Fort. Without getting closer, he could vaguely hear the sound of galloping horses coming from inside.

Regarding this Tang Bao, Xu Guan actually had some interactions with him before.

When he was in the village, the first set of secret bone forging techniques he learned was Tangbao's bone forging technique.

At that time, he also met two members of the Tang family, and they even tried to recruit him, but he rejected them at the time.

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, there was a big Tang mark on it. It was the Tangbao token left to him by the Tang family member.

If Xu Guan is willing, he can now hold this jade pendant and knock on the door of this Tang Castle.

But Xu Guan didn't do that.

This trip out of the city, he didn't come for this castle, but for another purpose.

And now he doesn't need to hug Tang Bao's thigh, and he has no intention of meeting the two Tang family members again.

Just as he was about to leave through Tang Bao's location, a reminder sounded suddenly.

[The eighth-level dungeon Tangbao has been opened, please go to the dungeon interface to confirm! 】

"Let me just say, how can there be only one dungeon that can be opened in the majestic Suicheng City."

Xu Guan didn't expect that he could gain such unexpected benefits just by passing by.

What made him a little confused was that the difficulty of the copy of Ye Mansion was as high as level eight, which he could still understand.

After all, there is a powerful master in Ye Mansion.

And why is this Tangbao?
"Is it possible that there is a Grandmaster in Tang Bao?" Xu Guan realized what he was thinking and thought to himself.

Based on the information about Suicheng collected by Zhang Yang for him, he had never heard that there was a strong master in Tangbao.

This is also a well-known thing. There is only one master inside and outside Suicheng!
Xu Guan shook his head. He didn't think about it, so he didn't think about it deeply.

Anyway, now the Tangbao dungeon has been opened by him, and he will know the situation after using several dungeon opportunities to open up wasteland and explore.

It would be interesting if this Tang Bao really hid a master master as he thought.

Putting the matter on hold for the time being, Xu Guan continued to gallop towards the established direction.
