Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 151 0150: Advancement to the sixth level; improvement of skills!

Cheng Zongyang called Zhao Laoqi who was supervising the work.

The latter was also quite happy to see Cheng Zongyang coming back, especially when he saw the medicinal herb seedlings and rice seedlings, he was much more excited than seeing the pile of dried fish.

During this period, he also heard some of Cheng Zongyang's ideas from Li Lu, and he was naturally happy.

As long as the county can remain stable, there is a high possibility that they will continue to be a force in the future.

These rice seedlings had to be cultivated in advance. After all, they were upland rice, not wet rice, so it was much simpler.

Before the results of the experiment in the wilderness world come out, one acre of land is still planted with 2,500 plants.

As for the dried fish, Zhao Laoqi assigned people to send it to the new warehouse in the west of the city for storage, which also made it convenient for taking it out to make soup at the city gate.

After Li Lu got the news, he also rushed over from the city.

Seeing the ten acres of rice seedlings planted by the people, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this all they sent?"

Cheng Zongyang nodded: "We need it too urgently. They rushed to deliver the first batch. They will deliver it in batches later. The quantity will be much larger. After all, it is not easy to transport rice seedlings."

"As for how much we can have later, it depends on the arrangements over there. But the number will not be less than 300 acres."

"Three hundred acres?" Li Lu frowned. "Isn't it a little less? Didn't they say at least a thousand acres?"

Cheng Zongyang said: "Three hundred acres is just a guaranteed amount, and the amount above that depends on the situation. Besides, this kind of rice comes from Luoyang, not the rice we usually see. Even if there are only three hundred acres, the harvest will not be less than 300,000 kilograms of rice!
Although the more rice the better, it also depends on whether they can supply our needs. After all, these are ready-made rice seedlings, not rice grains. "

Upon hearing the harvest amount, Li Lu's eyes trembled and he looked incredulous.

"Three hundred thousand catties? Are you sure? Although I have never cultivated rice, I have heard a lot about it. If an acre of land can produce 400 catties of rice, it is already a good harvest! Now an acre of land can produce 1,000 catties!?"

Cheng Zongyang smiled in his heart, this is still normal farming. If rotten soil is used, 3,000 kilograms per acre is guaranteed.

But this is unnecessary. They won't believe it if you tell them. After all, even their relatives won't believe the amount of the harvest unless they have seen the rice ears with their own eyes.

What’s more important is that it is not only time-consuming, but the conditions are not yet available.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Just follow my instructions." Cheng Zongyang didn't explain any further.

"That's fine."

Li Lu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Because of his trust in Cheng Zongyang, he had some confidence in the rice yield, so he had some expectations in his heart.

If one acre of land can produce a thousand kilograms, it is simply...

For a moment, he didn't know how to describe this kind of rice!

After a moment, he pointed at the people working and said:

"These people work very quickly. They finished all the land in two days. This is the first time I have seen tens of thousands of people working together! But the food is consumed very quickly. I am afraid our food supply will not last long. Do you have any other ideas?"

Cheng Zongyang shook his head: "There is no other way. Zhao Laoqi just told me about your method, which does save a lot. But we can only make do with it. There are so many people in the city, unless it is a large amount of food, there is no other way in a short time.

We are not county lords, so we cannot ask for food from the county town. We are responsible for our own profits and losses. If the government and the thirteen royal families come, not only will the products of our farmland be burned, but even the food we invested in will be lost. "

Seeing this, Li Lu fell silent again. There was really no other way now.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something and asked Cheng Zongyang: "What about going into the inner mountain? We can also catch meat there, right? Although there are countless poisonous creatures in the inner mountain and it is extremely dangerous, there is always a chance, right?"

Cheng Zongyang shook his head:
"How many can you hunt? Without thousands, how can there be enough for the people in the city to eat? If you hunt a few or a dozen, it will only be a simple meal for the gang members, and you will risk a large number of people dying in the inner mountains. These are all labor, and they can't be wasted."

Seeing this, Li Lu said no more. He really had no way to deal with the food issue. If he were to get rid of some of the population, it would be easy to reduce food expenses.

Cheng Zongyang didn't say much and looked towards the direction of the farmland.

Because there were so many people, the medicinal herb seedlings and rice seedlings had already been planted, and the rest was just the farmers directing some people to deal with something.

But time was urgent and it would take more time to take out his rice seedlings.

He simplified the process and just dug out the rice seedlings and made sure there was some soil.

But this all takes time. After all, the amount required for a thousand acres of land is an astonishing amount!
He even thought about dealing with it at night - let them dig out the rice seedlings immediately, regardless of whether there was mud or not, just tie them up and put them in bamboo baskets.

Similarly, the time later cannot be wasted, and Cheng Zongyang is also thinking about what to do next.

It’s just that due to the unclear situation, we have to avoid “what if” situations and thus end up with wasted efforts.

Therefore, he couldn't do most of the extra things, nor did he want to do them.

All we can do is take a gamble by planting rice seedlings and medicinal herb seedlings.

As long as the strength of the person who comes does not exceed the fifth rank, if he wants to touch his property, he will have to see if he has a thick neck!

Although he is about to enter the sixth level, but with the Wilderness World and his weapons, fighting the fifth level is not a problem!
Even the fourth-grade ones could exchange one for one at the limit, and then enter the wilderness world to heal!

It can be said that he is invincible above the fourth rank, and below the fourth rank, he is invincible!

But to be on the safe side, he thought about it, and after discussing with Li Lu, he asked Zhao Laoqi to take some people to the official road to collect all the bones that had long since turned into white bones on the side of the official road, and concentrate them at the entrances and exits of the three villages and the official road to scare away some outsiders who wanted to enter the village.

There was a large scorched forest between the official road and the village. Although those who wanted to go in and out could enter through the scorched forest, seeing the corpses would reduce the possibility of this happening.

In addition, there is a scorched forest blocking the way, so you can't see inside from the official road, which provides an extra layer of protection.

In addition, after heavy rains, some wild grasses and new trees will grow in these places, gradually replacing the scorched land environment and providing some cover.

The only remaining entrance is the road from the county seat to Xujia Village.

After finishing all this, it was already evening.

When everyone finished work and went back, Cheng Zongyang left again and would come back after a few days.

Li Lu and the others knew what to do here, so they didn't need him to give them too many instructions.

Once you enter the mountains, you enter the wilderness.

When I walked outside, I saw Ma San and others still busy.

He immediately asked them to change their method, no longer wrapping each plant with soil, but to dig them out and tie them up and put them aside, so as to speed up the process. They just need to water them more often later.

Upon hearing this, Ma San and others immediately changed their approach. With the profit-sharing cooperation, the speed was much faster.

Cheng Zongyang followed him to the acre of potato and sweet potato fields and took a look, and found that the growth was also very good.

Through cutting cultivation, the number will naturally increase a lot.

These two crops are also high-yielding and will be good food crops in the future.

Although the basic boundaries of the wilderness world remain the same, the territory at the gate has expanded a lot.

A fish pond has been built. Although not many, there are about three to four thousand fish in it, and they can all be raised to more than one kilogram.

The cultivated land was expanded to twenty acres, of which ten acres were used for rice cultivation.

The rest are used for the cultivation of precious medicinal materials such as wild oil beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, wild red heart fruits, ginseng, etc.

The rest of the common fruits and vegetables were not planted, and these common crops were left to the villagers to plant. In general, the scope was only expanded, and the rest was basically unchanged.

Of course, another good news is that brick-making technology has been developed.

The firing can be started at any time later. The only drawback is that there are not enough people.

Thinking of this, Cheng Zongyang turned around and went back to the market hut to see the purchasing situation.

This was the fourth time since the end of last month that ten low-level soul crystals had been sought. Even though the price was raised to 850 points per crystal, it was still not completed.

"Tomorrow is the third day. Looks like it will be taken off the shelves again."

"I have to increase it to nine hundred next time!" Cheng Zongyang murmured.

As the territory expanded, he was short of manpower, so he could only continue to buy at high prices.

As for the inventory and purchase column, they had already been refreshed the day before yesterday and there was nothing to see.

There aren't many good items that have been spawned in the past two months.

Apart from those few recipes, the rest were all ordinary items. This actually saved him a lot of points for cultivation.

Then he called up the personal attribute interface and took a look.

"Today's medicinal bath has not yet begun, and it's time to move on."

I tried it last time. If I want to upgrade the level of my skills, I need to reach full proficiency.

Watching the progress of the physical training, Cheng Zongyang personally boiled water and prepared medicine. He poured out two taels of tiger bone wine soaked by his second uncle for later use.

Tiger bones come from the exotic beast Tiger King, and their effect is equivalent to the tiger bone wine that appeared in the inventory.

Half an hour later, the boiling hot medicine soup was poured into the wooden barrel. He took off his clothes, mobilized his blood and qi, and stepped into the medicine soup.

Although he is no longer afraid of the temperature of the medicine soup, the medicinal power of the seventh-grade bone-tempering medicine soup penetrates into his body, just like a miniature bomb is placed in his body and explodes inside, hammering and tempering his bones, increasing their density and making them tougher, so that they can withstand greater external impacts!

But this process is like hammering on the nerves, and the pain is indescribable.

Even after taking the medicine multiple times over such a long period of time, he still couldn't get used to it and could only endure it until the medicine was finished!
At the seventh level of bone-tempering, medicinal bathing is used to temper the body, and body-tempering is no longer necessary after taking the bath.

As the medicinal soup cooled down completely, Cheng Zongyang ended his medicinal bath for the day!
As the bone forging was completed, a prompt sound appeared.

He summoned his proficiency in martial arts and took a look.

-

Exercise:

Body Building Skill (6000/6000, Rank )↑

-

As expected, it is already at 6000/6000. There is also a small arrow at the back!

The idea came to me immediately and I upgraded!

Suddenly, the interface showed a result that was not the direct advancement to the body-building skill that he had expected, but a prompt:
-

If the requirements are met, 5000 points will be spent to upgrade the martial arts skills. The third-grade skills are for tempering the inner body.

Please select a method as the direction:
[Qingming Breathing Method]: A martial arts internal training method that is gentle and yin-oriented. If you are in a cold and yin place, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

[Pure Yang Internal Training Method]: A martial arts internal training method that emphasizes strength and sharpness. Practicing in the blazing sun is quite effective. Practicing as a boy will have double the effect.

【Five Elements Internal Breathing Method】: A method of internal training in martial arts that emphasizes balance. Find a place that is suitable for the five elements, and your practice will progress rapidly.

[Turtle Breathing Method]: A method of internal training in martial arts, it is moderate and peaceful. After getting started, you can practice it anytime and anywhere.

-

Cheng Zongyang looked carefully at the prompts on the panel and fell into deep thought for a moment.

"The body-building exercise is an external training method, so there are no restrictions. But now the middle third level is an internal training method. If I am asked to choose a direction, does it mean that this will determine the direction of the field of the upper third level?"

This feeling made him feel like he was choosing between arts and science in high school.

If we put aside speculation and look at the techniques, although they are all internal training methods, they have different focuses and each has its own way of practicing.

"There are many cold and gloomy places in the mountains, but they are not suitable for me."

"I may not be free for Lieyang's practice. I have many things to do now, and I only practice at midnight. As for the boy's body, it meets the requirements."

"Five elements, looking for a place with abundant five elements, isn't that easy to find? For wood, forests have plenty of them, but for fire, it should be near volcanoes, right? Water is a water source, and for earth... deserts? Saline-alkali land? What about gold? Mineral concentrations? That takes too much time."

"Turtle Breathing and Breath Holding Method, judging from the literal meaning, this should be something that can be practiced by holding your breath, right? If so, it would be the easiest. But everything has its pros and cons. Judging from the name, the speed of practice is probably a tortoise's crawl."

After some consideration and choice, Cheng Zongyang decided to choose the final method of holding his breath!
If speed is not enough, time will make up for it!
You can practice breath-holding while walking, eating, sleeping, etc. The speed may not be much slower.

"Besides, the speed is just my guess!"

Immediately, Cheng Zongyang looked at the panel and chose the fourth option!

The next second, the interface disappears and a prompt sound appears:

[Successfully deducted 5000 points, your technique level has been upgraded... Data integration in progress... You have obtained the intermediate martial arts internal training technique, the tortoise breathing and breath holding technique.]

In an instant, Cheng Zongyang didn't care about the new information pouring out of his brain, he felt a warm current flowing upward from his dantian, filling his abdomen and chest!
It was as if these two parts were soaked in hot water and felt so comfortable! He closed his eyes involuntarily.

After about ten breaths, the warm current gathered again and turned into a stream, which started to move from the front middle part of his body to the back middle part, then to his arms and legs! It seemed to move in the direction of the eight extraordinary meridians. Finally, it returned to Dantian and spread out like a stream of energy, filling his whole body and being absorbed by him!

Finally, a trace of warm current that can be felt and flows slowly is left in the lower dantian.

What followed was the emergence of a force even more powerful than before!
The whole process seemed very peaceful and long!
[Your cultivation has improved! ]

As the prompt sound appeared, Cheng Zongyang opened his eyes!

"This is the power feedback brought by breaking the mirror! There is also internal force! Although it is very small." Cheng Zongyang murmured.

He clenched his fists. Although the sense of power was not that strong, he knew that the difference lay in the internal force in his dantian!
The "seed" of internal force will gradually grow stronger with his practice, but currently it is only used to open up the eight extraordinary meridians!
Only then did he begin to digest the information on the practice of the Tortoise Breathing Method!
