Martial Arts Becomes Invincible Starting from the Golden Body

Chapter 40 Secret Realm
"Secret realm?"

Fang Chen finally found an opportunity to interrupt.

"Haha, junior brother, don't worry. Usually, only martial artists who have practiced martial arts know about the secret realm. If you are too weak, it will be useless to know it." Liu Yong said with a smile.

"That's true. Only martial artists who have practiced martial arts can gain some benefits when they enter." Li Zhen also nodded with a smile.

After hearing what they said, Fang Chen became even more confused.

At this time, Li Shishi took out a booklet from Li Guiyuan's room and said, "Here, read it yourself. It's quite troublesome to explain."

Fang Chen took it with curiosity, walked to the stone table beside and sat down.

"The secret realm?"

He opened the cover and sat on the stone bench, shaking his head as he read.

The other people ignored him and went about their own business. Li Shishi simply started making tea next to him.

The fragrance of green tea wafts into your nose, and the bitterness with a slight aftertaste makes you unable to stop.

……

After a long time, Fang Chen finally finished reading, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

The so-called secret realm is actually a small world, in which there are people, animals, and even civilization, which is no different from this world.

For some unknown reason, it is connected to this world and forms a world channel.

People from both worlds can pass through each other, but this world is much stronger than the secret world, and the final result is invasion!

The secret realm has become a place for resource production, and the discovery of each secret realm is a carnival for warriors!
Martial arts is a plunder, and everyone is an invader!
The book also specifically introduces what Liu Yong called the "Huaiyang Secret Realm", which is located in Tong County. It is also related to Tong County becoming the center of six counties.

This secret realm was discovered more than thirty years ago, and at that time there were even many powerful warriors with strength equivalent to that of blood coagulation warriors.

But it couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the warriors. Under the leadership of several major forces in Tongcheng, the opponent's blood coagulation warriors were almost killed!

Since then, the Huaiyang Secret Realm has become a paradise for martial artists who practice martial arts. Many things that those in the Blood Coagulation Realm look down upon are treasures to them.

However, it costs money to enter. This secret realm is jointly managed by eight major forces, and each entry requires one thousand and two taels of silver.

"Shangguan Hong is such a genius at making money. It's a shame he doesn't go into business!"

Li Guiyuan walked up to his side at some point and said with emotion.

The secret realm taxes collected over the past thirty years are already much more valuable than the few dollars they left behind.

What’s more important is that this is almost an endless cash cow. Although it is impossible for good things to come out of it in the next thirty years, there will always be people who hold on to their luck and think they are the chosen ones.

But he should make the money. Others can't do the same. Do they really think the people above are vegetarians?
The Daxuan court thirty years ago was not in decline like it is now. Although changes had taken place, it still had control over various places.

The ownership of all secret realms in the Daxuan territory must be taken over by the imperial court, and anyone who embezzles state property will be beheaded!

A mere county lord would never dare to be so presumptuous!

Shangguan Hong was able to chew this bone. It has to be said that although it was related to his background, this guy was indeed very scheming!

However, when Shangguan Hong ate the meat, several major forces also drank a sip of soup, so this old guy was so powerful in the city and his word was almost final.

After all, I made money with them, so I should just tolerate the little things.

"Brother!"

Fang Chen caught up with Li Zhen who was leaving, "Brother, I have something to ask you."

Li Zhen looked at Fang Chen in confusion and nodded, "Okay, come with me."

As he came to a study room, he found that the martial arts school had always been managed by Li Zhen, and he usually worked here.

"Brother, if you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me."

"Haha, it's nothing serious. I just want to ask you about the Liu and Li families."

Fang Chen did not hide anything and spoke directly.

Li Zhen was stunned, but quickly realized that he knew the relationship between Fang Chen and Liu Yuan.

"Haha, Liu Yuan is really lucky to have met a friend like you, Junior Brother."

Fang Chen smiled, "Senior Brother Liu also helped me a lot in the past. If you know any inside information, please let me know."

"Oh, it's just a small matter. I actually know something about it."

He sighed, "Come to think of it, this matter is also related to the Tiandao Martial Arts School."

"Huh?" Fang Chen was puzzled. Why was Tiandao Martial Arts School brought up again?
"Junior brother, you don't know that the business of medicinal materials and medical clinics is extremely important. How could the major forces not intervene?"

Fang Chen nodded. Not to mention medicine, this medicinal material is more related to the practice of warriors, and there are huge benefits in it.

He had this doubt before, and now it seems that there is something else hidden?
Without interrupting, Fang Chen quietly waited for what to come.

"The reason why the Liu family was able to gain a foothold in the country, in addition to their outstanding medical skills, was because of Liu Yuan's grandfather," Li Zhen explained.

"His grandfather Liu Guangsheng is also a legendary figure. He single-handedly built up the Liu family. The most important thing is that he is a warrior in the Blood Coagulation Realm!"

Fang Chen suddenly realized that it all depends on strength.

"Plus, the world was stable at that time, and Liu Guangsheng was a man who knew how to handle things. He agreed to let all the major forces take up a certain share and distribute dividends according to the share every year, so the Tongcheng medicinal materials business has been controlled by the Liu family."

Is this Tongxian Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.?

Liu Yuan’s grandfather is really a talented person!
"What about the Li family?"

Fang Chen was curious. Li Zhong's family didn't seem to have any special skills, so how could they get a share of the pie?
"Don't worry!"

Li Zhen picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled and said, "But that was in the past! Things are different now. The four great families want more!"

"But the Liu family's medical skills are indeed amazing. All the major families want to subjugate them. Now the main approach to the Liu family is to win them over, supplemented by suppression."

"Is this the knife of the Li family?" Fang Chen understood.

"Yes and no. To be precise, it was the Tiandao Martial Arts School that jumped out first, and they were the ones who supported the Li family."

"Under Xu Yao's instructions, the Li family has really encroached on a lot of the Liu family's business in the past few years, and even many doctors in the clinic have been taken away." Li Zhen sighed.

"What do you think is the most urgent matter for the Liu family right now?"

"Looking for a backer!" Fang Chen smiled knowingly.

"I see. It seems they have chosen my Liyang Martial Arts School?"

"That's right, otherwise Liu Yuan wouldn't have been allowed to join the martial arts school. But he should have been waiting and watching before. It's not easy to make up his mind."

Li Zhen confirmed his guess, and Fang Chen keenly noticed the problem with his words: "Before?"

"Haha, it's no secret that Master took action last time. These few days are enough for the Liu family to react. I believe they will make the right choice!"

Fang Chen nodded. He now understood the significance of the Five Changes of Blood Coagulation, which represented that his master was the strongest man in Tongcheng!
After all, the previous strongest man, City Lord Shangguan, had only reached the fourth level of blood coagulation.

The blood coagulation state is the beginning of a warrior's qualitative change. Once a warrior breaks through and reaches this state, he will no longer be in danger of blood and qi depletion, and there will no longer be the saying that thirty-five is the limit for martial arts training.

Warriors in the Blood Coagulation Realm can always walk on the path of martial arts!
Moreover, after breaking through the Blood Coagulation Realm, the warrior's lifespan will increase to a certain extent. There are nine changes in this realm. It is said that a warrior who has passed the Blood Coagulation Realm can live for nearly two hundred years!
Immortality is a pursuit engraved in people's bones, and Fang Chen is no exception. He can live for two hundred years in the Blood Coagulation Realm, so what about the higher realms?

Fang Chen is full of anticipation!

"Junior brother, you have a close relationship with Liu Yuan. I estimate that the Liu family will find you first. Then you can give them a reassurance." Li Zhen said seriously.

"But don't be impatient. It's not a good deal if you rush."

"Once the Liu family joins my Liyang Martial Arts School, Xu Yao will definitely not be so aggressive anymore."

"Brother, don't worry!"

Fang Chen gave a guarantee that he would naturally put the interests of the martial arts school first. With him around and his relationship with Liu Yuan, this was the best reward for the Liu family.

As for Li Zhong, he could only say sorry. However, they didn't suffer any losses. After the Liu family joined the martial arts school, they no longer had to be used as knives.

Although the benefits that can be obtained will be much less, the danger will undoubtedly be reduced. After all, Xu Yao is not a good person and may sell them out at any time.

Moreover, he would have to be more wary of Li Zhong in the future. After Zhou Yang's death, it was hard to say that Xu Yao had no doubts about him.

He also didn't think that he could make the Li family bow down to him just by showing off his power. After all, Li Zhong approached him only for profit, and he was very clear about this.

"Doesn't Xu Yao want to conquer the Liu family and use it for his own benefit?" Fang Chen suddenly asked.

"Haha, Master said that Xu Yao is a very pragmatic person. He likes to use the simplest means to gain benefits. In fact, he has already succeeded."

Li Zhen smiled and said, "As for the clinic, the Li family doesn't have much background. With our support, the Liu family will naturally be able to squeeze it out."

"But there's nothing we can do about the herbal medicine business. Master doesn't intend to completely turn against him, so we can only let him go."

Fang Chen nodded. Having solved a problem on his mind, he felt a lot more relaxed and simply accompanied Li Zhen to drink tea and chat.

It’s true that Li Zhen is very knowledgeable and he has gained a lot.
