Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Chapter 586 Bait Throwing
Spring passes and autumn comes, cold comes and summer comes.

Before you know it, a year has passed.

Zhang Xiaojiu has been practicing "The Three Transformations into One" for a year and has officially entered the Bronze Skin Realm.

It is easy to say that one has skin of steel and bones, but how can one achieve such an invulnerable state without diligent practice, nourishment from medicinal herbs, and blood and food?
Jiang Sheng knew very well that the wilderness was different from the outside world.

In a place where one cannot mobilize spiritual energy or magic power, and can only rely on qi and blood, it is all nonsense to talk about following the laws of nature and saying that one only needs spiritual tea and spiritual fruits without touching flesh and blood!

Jiang Sheng likes spiritual tea and spiritual fruit, and does not like grains and meat. This is Jiang Sheng's own business. He will not force others to do so, nor will he force others to follow his standards.

The same set of exercises may produce different results when practiced by different people.

"The Miraculous Method of the Yin-Yang Tribulation, the Three Transformations and the Five Elements" is a technique created by Jiang Sheng based on his own practice and understanding of the Great Dao, which is completely in line with his own creation.

Although it refers to the Taoist, Buddhist and Shinto skills, and also relies on the fundamental skills of Penglai Taoist Sect, it is ultimately based on Jiang Sheng himself. This is a skill that best suits Jiang Sheng.

The circulation of Qi, the circulation of the Qi meridians, the control of wind, thunder, water and fire, the application of the three disasters, and the characteristics of the techniques are all completely in accordance with Jiang Sheng's preferences.

Even if others obtained this technique, it would still be difficult for them to practice it.

This is why, for the Holy Land, the fundamental skills of the Pure Yang Patriarchs are only suitable for reference.

A book of fundamental skills that goes directly from Qi training to Pure Yang must have been compiled according to the Pure Yang Patriarch himself. Even if you practice exactly as it is written, you cannot become another Pure Yang Patriarch.

Not to mention the circumstances, experiences, vision, and character during their practice, everyone's roots and meridians are different, so there are differences in their practice.

The most popular ones are still the most basic ones.

For example, the Qing Yuan Fu Jing is the most moderate and peaceful practice. Its biggest advantage is that it has no special features and no requirements.

The "Three Transformations into One Profound Art" created based on the "Yin Yang Tribulation Three Transformations and Five Elements Magical Method" is actually Jiang Sheng's analysis of martial arts and his own interpretation based on his own vision as the True Lord Lianxu.

After all, this is still an experimental set of skills, but it is more suitable for Zhang Xiaojiu.

After all, Jiang Sheng still referred to some of Zhang Xiaojiu's situations before he came up with the current "Three Transformations into One Mysterious Art".

A Taiyi Zhenjun from the Penglai Taoist sect and a Taoist Mahayana Immortal personally designed a method for a young boy from the wilderness. Zhang Xiaojiu is indeed very lucky.

Now, after a year of uninterrupted practice, Zhang Xiaojiu's spirit has undergone significant changes.

Zhang Xiaojiu is now stronger and his skin has become as tough as cowhide.

But this is just entering the bronze skin realm, which is not very advanced.

Those skilled warriors who have reached the level of Copper Skin and Iron Bones really have skin as hard as copper and iron, bones as hard as diamond, and are indestructible to swords and knives, and cannot be pierced by crossbow arrows.

If there were no such magic, how could warriors become the mainstream in the wilderness? How could those warriors at a high level kill each other in the midst of thousands of troops and resist thousands of troops alone?
The fragility of the flesh?

Thousands of archers can shoot you into a hedgehog with one wave of shots, so how can you still talk about one man forming an army?

Zhang Xiaojiu's skin refining has achieved some results now, so Jiang Sheng decided to put Zhang Xiaojiu to some tests.

"Little Nine."

"Master, the disciple is here!"

Today, Zhang Xiaojiu is full of energy and spirit. He has made great progress in skin refining and has gained more confidence.

Jiang Sheng pointed to a palm tree and said, "Treat this iron palm as your enemy and show me your martial arts."

Without thinking, Zhang Xiaojiu clenched his fists, stretched out his body, and whizzed away with a gust of wind.

Within a few breaths, Zhang Xiaojiu used several moves of the Five Form Fist against the iron palm tree. The changes and connections between the various moves were very natural, and there were no obvious loopholes.

After all, they were disciples trained by Jiang Sheng himself. Jiang Sheng's requirements for his disciples were very simple. They had to attack quickly, have strong momentum, seize the initiative, and leave no weaknesses.

Now Zhang Xiaojiu's series of performances seem to be somewhat realistic.

As Zhang Xiaojiu finished his performance, a series of marks were left on the iron palm tree.

The iron palm tree is extremely hard, and its name comes from the fact that its bark is as tough as iron and difficult to damage.

Now that Zhang Xiaojiu can leave marks on the iron palm tree without suffering any injuries himself, it means that Zhang Xiaojiu has achieved initial results in the skin refining stage.

When Zhang Xiaojiu's leather refining progresses from cowhide to copper skin, he can consider refining bones.

According to Jiang Sheng's assessment of Zhang Xiaojiu, he could make some progress in skin refining in one year, and great success in two years. With the help of the herbs and meat in this mountain town, he could refine his skin to the level of bronze skin and iron bones in four years.

Three years to strengthen the body, three years to consolidate the foundation, and four years to achieve iron skin and bones. By then, Zhang Xiaojiu will be only nineteen years old.

Jiang Sheng's goal is to enable Zhang Xiaojiu to enter the blood-moving and awakening realm at the age of twenty and become a martial artist.

Zhang Xiaojiu also knew Jiang Sheng's requirements and expectations of him. He felt that he was carrying the burden and hope of his master, and vowed to avenge Jiang Sheng, so he naturally practiced hard.

Jiang Sheng said softly: "You have performed very well in Liuhe Village. I heard that you have even become famous in Shancheng Town?"

Although Jiang Sheng's voice was not loud, Zhang Xiaojiu was shocked when he heard it: "Master, it was an accident."

Zhang Xiaojiu knew what Jiang Sheng required of him. Becoming a warrior was not for him to show off, and he was not qualified to do so.

It’s okay to help out in the village and the township, but you should stay out of the spotlight, especially in the town.

Zhang Xiaojiu is still very weak and needs time. It is not good for a mountain village kid to be in the limelight too early. Especially now that Zhang Xiaojiu has no shortage of teachers and medicinal materials, he needs to concentrate on practicing hard and wait for the right time to make a big splash.

Jiang Sheng looked at Zhang Xiaojiu. Although his expression didn't change, Zhang Xiaojiu lowered his head unconsciously.

Jiang Sheng said calmly: "You are young and capable, so you should become famous."

Zhang Xiaojiu lowered his head even deeper: "Master, I was wrong."

Jiang Sheng shook his head: "Do you think I'm being sarcastic?"

"Lift your head. Young man, why do you always keep your head down? Hold your head up high and chest out. Show your high spirits."

"Young people, if they don't have a sense of courage and always want to hide themselves, they will inevitably lose their sharpness. In the path of martial arts, the most important things are sharpness and courage."

"I heard about your experience in Shancheng Town. You didn't do it for your own fame, but to save people. That's good."

"I just want to tell you that now that you have become famous in Shancheng Town, you should practice harder to avoid being beaten up by others and then losing face if you can't beat them."

Zhang Xiaojiu was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Sheng to say that.

In Zhang Xiaojiu's eyes, Master Jiang Sheng was knowledgeable and versatile, knowing everything about astronomy and geography. He was proficient in martial arts, medicine, strange stories, the rise and fall of dynasties, natural treasures, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and could be described as an all-rounder.

But Jiang Sheng always seemed very indifferent. He spoke and acted in a nonchalant manner, as if nothing could arouse his interest. There was even a sense of sophistication in his tone.

Speaking of which, in Zhang Xiaojiu's eyes, Jiang Sheng seemed to have an old man's heart under his young and handsome appearance. What he hated most was those who deliberately showed off and acted ostentatiously.

And every time Zhang Xiaojiu showed off a little, Jiang Sheng’s ruthless attack also indirectly confirmed this point.

Originally, Zhang Xiaojiu thought that he would incur Jiang Sheng's wrath this time, but he did not expect Jiang Sheng to be so calm and even encouraged him to become famous.

This made Zhang Xiaojiu a little at a loss.

Seeing Zhang Xiaojiu like this, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Why, I encouraged you, but you are afraid?"

"If you use the skills I taught you to bully the people in your village and harm innocent people, I will naturally punish you. But you punish evil and promote good, so why should I blame you?"

"No matter what happens in this world, it can never escape the law of justice."

"If you are upright and act uprightly, then you have nothing to fear and nothing to shrink from. Just do what you have to do."

"If a young man doesn't even have this kind of carefree spirit, it's really too old-fashioned."

Zhang Xiaojiu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. In his mind, Jiang Sheng's tone of preaching was more like those of veteran masters.

Although Jiang Sheng only looks to be in his twenties, and his appearance has not changed in six or seven years, but masters have techniques to preserve one's appearance, and it is said that there are also elixirs that can preserve one's youth. In this case, it is not surprising that Jiang Sheng has this appearance.

"You need to cultivate your skin to copper in one year and your bones to iron in two years. You cannot do without nourishing yourself with medicinal baths and meat. Otherwise, your blood, flesh, tendons and bones will not be able to support your body, and your internal organs will not be able to withstand the blood and qi, which means your foundation is weak."

"Although there is no shortage of medicinal herbs in the mountains, if you want to achieve a strong body, you need some special herbs."

"Not to mention meat. Not to mention the flesh and blood of monsters, you also need to eat a lot of meat from ordinary beasts. All of these cannot be separated from the town."

"To buy these, you need enough money. I will teach you the recipe, and you can go pick herbs, make ointments and powders, and sell them in exchange for money to buy tonics."

After hearing Jiang Sheng's words, Zhang Xiaojiu nodded heavily: "Master, Xiaojiu understands."

Jiang Sheng waved his hand: "Go ahead."

Zhang Xiaojiu knew that Jiang Sheng liked to be alone, so he stepped back and continued practicing.

After Zhang Xiaojiu left, Xiangyu Xianjun's voice rang out in Jiang Sheng's mind: "Have you decided to let this kid come to the fore?"

Jiang Sheng nodded: "Liuhe Village is too small, and Shancheng Town is too small. We must give this kid some stage."

"As he comes to the fore, various figures will emerge, and I will be able to get more news."

"After seven years, this kid can now be put to use."

Xiang Yu Xianjun said: "Isn't this the reason why you passed on the medical recipe to him?"

"The medical prescriptions adapted from the techniques of the Xuanmen Taoist school are convenient to use and have good efficacy. They are incomparable to the prescriptions in this desolate world. Once these strange prescriptions and medical techniques are spread out, they will definitely attract covetous people."

Jiang Sheng looked at the forest in front of him with a deep look in his eyes. "The Taoist Xuanmen's alchemy formulas and medicines have been passed down for 100,000 years in the Wilderness, and they have been changed beyond recognition. They are in a mess. All the alchemy formulas that I asked Xiaojiu to collect over the years are not good enough."

"The noble families in the Wilderness Realm need more efficient and better-used elixirs, and this is the bait I threw out."

"See what kind of people it can attract."

Xiang Yu Xianjun smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that the boy won't be able to hold on?"

Jiang Sheng said calmly: "My Lord, don't you still have me?"

"Although I have been sitting in a wheelchair, it doesn't mean I can't get up."

As Jiang Sheng spoke, he silently looked at his own hands. His hands were as delicate as jade, and his fingers were slender and white. They didn't look like the hands of a martial artist at all. Instead, they looked more like the hands of a professional musician.

But Jiang Sheng's body was refined from the world fruit of the small world after all. With these hands, not to mention killing people, what kind of demons and monsters can't he kill?
