Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 5 Method of Refining the Internal Organs
The girl was dressed in a red outfit, with her hair tied up in a bun. She had her back to Fang Xu and was listening to the man in front of her.

The man was dressed in a white shirt, about fifty years old, with a pale face and a short beard. He was a bit elegant but serious, and looked similar to the teacher in the town.

"Master Lu." Li Yunshan brought Fang Xu to the front and bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man, saying, "The young man from the Fang family would like to ask Master Lu for some advice."

"Have you paid?" Lu Zhiyuan glanced at the two of them and said lightly.

Fang Xu quickly bowed and saluted: "Fifty taels of silver have been given to Brother Li."

The girl in red tights also turned around at this time. Her face did not need any makeup. Her red lips were tightly closed on her slightly chubby face. Above her delicate nose, her lively eyes looked at Fang Xu with a little doubt.

"Yunshan, Qingluo, you go down first." Lu Zhiyuan spoke slowly.

The red-dressed girl and Li Yunshan bowed slightly before leaving the courtyard. Lu Zhiyuan looked at Fang Xu and said, "You should know the rules of Zhiyuan Hall. I can only teach you the method of refining the internal organs, and I cannot guarantee that you will become a martial arts apprentice."

"Also, regardless of whether you can become a martial arts apprentice or not, the fifty taels of silver will not be refunded."

Fang Xu nodded slightly and said, "Kid knows."

This rule is recognized by the industry. Fifty taels of silver is the entrance fee. The master will lead you in, and your achievement depends on yourself.

"Then come forward."

Seeing that he had no objection, Lu Zhiyuan spoke slowly.

Fang Xu took two steps forward and slowly stretched out his right arm. Lu Zhiyuan reached out and grabbed his arm and closed his eyes.

moment--

"Your Qi and blood are full, and your foundation is very solid. It's hard for you."

When a warrior practices, he trains his skin and flesh externally, then his bones and blood internally, and finally his internal organs. The so-called talent in the early stages is actually just personal potential. Fang Xu has never specifically tested his own talent.

Over the past twenty years, my grandfather seemed to want him to become a warrior, and no matter how difficult their life was, he never treated him badly.

Although high-quality blood food and elixirs were not often available, he was able to earn some money with his carpentry skills, so he never lacked nutrition.

"Come with me." After feeling Fang Xu's bones, Lu Zhiyuan took him to a secret room.

The secret room is not big, and the furnishings inside are also very simple, with a table, a chair, and a square stone.

After Fang Xu stood still, Lu Zhiyuan asked directly: "Do you know what a warrior is?"

Meeting his gaze, Fang Xu thought for a long time and shook his head.

The "Panlong Jin" passed down by the royal family only contains the most basic body refining methods before the Bone Refining Realm. It does not contain anything too profound, and naturally does not record what a real warrior is.

Seeing this, Lu Zhiyuan was not surprised at all, and said directly: "Humans have 108 acupoints, and these 108 acupoints are 108 secret treasures."

"The so-called warriors are those who cultivate themselves internally, explore their own potential, and constantly open up the hidden treasures in their bodies to gain strength."

After hearing Lu Zhiyuan's explanation, Fang Xu suddenly understood.

But before he could digest it further, Lu Zhiyuan spoke again: "Why do you think warriors need to cultivate their internal organs, and how should they cultivate their internal organs?"

Fang Xu was slightly stunned and shook his head again.

Lu Zhiyuan said with his hands behind his back: "The body is a container. The hidden power is very strong. If you want to release this power and use it for yourself, you must first have a container that can hold this power."

As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his hand and suddenly slapped the square rock in front of him.

boom!
The rock, which was harder than ordinary steel, was dented more than an inch under the force of Lu Zhiyuan's palm!
Fang Xu was secretly shocked when he saw this. If this palm was hit on an ordinary person, it would probably be able to penetrate the body easily!
A casual attack from a martial artist at the martial arts master level can be so powerful. It seems that the legend that martial arts masters can break mountains with their palms and shatter the earth with their feet is true.

"Come forward." After showing off his hand a little, Lu Zhiyuan called Fang Xu to his side again and grabbed his wrists with both hands.

Before Fang Xu could react, he felt an extremely overbearing force beginning to flow along his arm. This force rushed along his meridians into his internal organs before slowing down slightly.

"The five internal organs are also known as the five spirits of the human body, and each has its own temperament. The heart is like a monkey, stubborn and unruly, so it should be trained; the liver is like fire, irritable, so it should be soothed..." Lu Zhiyuan explained in a deep voice while guiding the power to wander through Fang Xu's internal organs.

Combining his voice with the feeling of the power flowing slowly through his internal organs, Fang Xu understood that this was the true method of refining the internal organs.

He did not dare to be negligent and concentrated his mind, listening carefully and feeling everything that was happening in his body. Gradually, Fang Xu felt that his consciousness seemed to sink into his chest, his liver was as irritable as fire, his heart was shaped like a giant ape...all his internal organs appeared in front of him one by one.

The power controlled by Lu Zhiyuan also took on different forms at this time, either like a long whip, whipping the huge monkey heart, or like a gentle breeze and drizzle, soothing the irritable liver...

Fang Xu was so immersed in this wonder that he completely forgot the passage of time.

When he opened his eyes again, he found Lu Zhiyuan standing not far away, looking at him quietly.

"Master Lu." Fang Xu bowed quickly.

Lu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded, "He has great talent, but it's a pity..."

Fang Xu was puzzled and was about to ask, but Lu Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. I have already told you the method of refining the internal organs. If you encounter anything you don't understand, come back and ask."

"Remember one thing, refining your internal organs is a slow and steady process. Don't be impatient. Too much is as bad as too little. When you feel pain in your internal organs, you should stop at the right time. Otherwise, you will suffer a serious injury."

Fang Xu's heart trembled, and he immediately bowed to Lu Zhiyuan again: "Thank you, Master Lu."

When he came out of the secret room, the sun had already moved towards the southwest. Looking at the gate of Zhiyuan Hall behind him, Fang Xu paused slightly, then turned and left.

The method of refining the internal organs has been initially mastered. The next thing to do is to practice well and strive to join the ranks of martial artists as soon as possible.

However, before that, he still had to buy some blood food and qi and blood pills.

Not far from Zhiyuan Hall is the only place in the town that sells elixirs. The Wu family monopolizes this business. As for the blood food business in Fenglin Town, it is controlled by the Zhang family.

The two great families have martial artists in charge and have been entrenched in Fenglin Town for a hundred years. They also have intricate ties with the major forces in the provincial capital.

The Wu family’s medicine shop was named Qinxiangzhai.

Not only are there precious elixirs such as Qi and Blood Pills and Yuan-replenishing Pills suitable for practitioners here, but there are also a large number of medicinal powders and ointments for treating external injuries, as well as common herbs, etc.

When Wang Ergou's father was still alive, he was a registered disciple of the old patriarch of the Wu family. Relying on this identity, he was able to resell some medicinal herbs in Fenglin Town and earn money to train Wang Erhu into a martial arts apprentice.

It's just that Wang Ergou's father was not talented enough, and he was never able to become a true disciple of the old patriarch of the Wu family, nor could he learn some alchemy skills.

When Fang Xu arrived at the door of Qinxiangzhai, the old man at the door recognized him.

"Brother Fang, are you here to buy medicine powder again?"

The medicinal powder the old man was talking about was the residue left over from refining the Qi and Blood Pill. Its efficacy was far inferior to the real Qi and Blood Pill, but it was cheap. Fang Xu had been using this kind of medicinal powder to practice before.

"Uncle Li, I'm here to buy Qi and Blood Pills this time." Fang Xu patted the package behind him and said generously.

The old man looked at him in astonishment when he heard this.

A Qi and Blood Pill is worth ten taels of silver, while a portion of medicine powder only costs fifty coins.

Fang Xu now asked to buy Qi and Blood Pills, which really surprised the old man. He immediately and respectfully invited him into the shop and said, "Mr. Fang... How many Qi and Blood Pills does Master Fang want?"

Fang Xu thought for a moment and said, "Let's start with five."

He only had seventy-four taels of money left, and he had to buy blood food and daily expenses, so he couldn't use it all to buy pills at once.

"Aunt Wu, how many Qi and Blood Pills are there in Qinxiangzhai? I want them all!"

At this moment, a rather arrogant voice came from the door of Qinxiangzhai.
