Through the cultivation experience and methods gained from memory, and looking at the introduction of the exercises, Cheng Zongyang's face was calm, and he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but he felt indescribable in his heart.

There are good and bad things. But overall, the good outweighs the bad.

First, practice the tortoise breathing method, which is divided into two parts: "holding the breath" and "exhaling".

Combining these two methods, the process of practicing to open up the meridians will continuously widen and strengthen the meridians, so that in the future stage of marrow cleansing and qi generation, the meridians can withstand more impacts of the flow of true qi.

Secondly, the breath is long. Because of the breath-holding method, the strength of the internal organs and the vitality of the body are gradually enhanced during the internal training stage, making it more durable! With the results of the previous body training, it is normal to have thick blood and high defense. But relatively speaking, this tortoise breath-holding method will focus on the long-lasting internal force.

However, he guessed wrong about one thing. The speed of cultivation was not as slow as he had imagined.

It’s just that it takes a lot of time to hold the breath and exhale in the early stages of practice, which makes the speed slower, but in the later stages the speed is not slower than Qingming, Chunyang, Five Elements and other internal training methods.

In the early stage, you practice breath-holding, and the internal force circulates in the body while holding your breath, gradually adjusting the breath rhythm and internal breath stability, while slowly increasing the breath-holding time, just like a turtle that can stay in the water for a long time without breathing. When you can hold your breath for 25 minutes, you are considered to have entered the stage. The longer the time, the better.

There are also some rules for exhaling. You don’t have to exhale all at once, but exhale at a fixed rhythm.

As long as you adapt to the rhythm of exhaling and controlling the regular circulation of Qi and blood, you will be ready to go.

Just as singing has its own breathing rhythm, sprinting has its own breathing rhythm; long-distance running, marathon, swimming, fighting, Sanda, etc., all have their own breathing rhythms, and are all different ways.

When you combine the two methods of holding your breath and exhaling, and turn them into a habit like breathing, it is equivalent to practicing automatically anytime and anywhere. The speed is naturally not slow.

Using this special training method, the internal strength and Qi and blood will automatically temper the eight extraordinary meridians, internal organs, and bone marrow.

This is the process of the middle three-grade stage.

After learning the tortoise breathing method, the practice is gradual and will not cause any drastic reactions.

It can be said that this kind of practice seems difficult to get started and unremarkable, but it excels in its later effects and various functions.

The one with lasting endurance and standing to the end is the strongest!

After understanding it clearly, Cheng Zongyang called out the interface.

"Sure enough, the benefits of this transformation are here."

The effect of that warm current was not only to improve his cultivation level, but also to increase his lifespan by two years.

Long life is the effect!

However, he didn't know if a breakthrough in realm would increase his lifespan if he switched to another technique. He didn't even know if a breakthrough to the ninth, eighth, or even seventh level would increase his lifespan.

After all, this life span appeared after obtaining the oath contract.

But no matter what, the increase in lifespan in the past two years makes up for the loss of lifespan caused by the oath contract. It is also a tangible benefit and there is no need to think too much about it!

Therefore, I immediately drew on the experience of practicing breath-holding, adjusted the rhythm of my breathing according to the practice methods and techniques, and began to practice breath-holding.

As you inhale, your abdomen expands and you hold your breath.

The first step is to practice holding your breath for a long time.

Only when you can achieve the first step of not breathing for thirty minutes, can you be considered to have achieved the basic foundation of breath-holding practice.

But this requires a long period of adaptation and practice, it cannot be achieved overnight, and it is also a hard condition!
The second step is to adjust the exhalation rhythm after holding your breath. Change your breathing method, form a new breathing rhythm, and make it a habit.

The third step is to mobilize the Qi and blood to work in coordination with the breathing rhythm on the basis of the first two, forming a rhythm. This special rhythm makes the internal force and Qi and blood flow through the meridians, opening up the eight extraordinary meridians, tempering the internal organs, and cleansing the marrow and strengthening the bones. It is like the effect of certain specific rhythmic sound waves, the regular vibrations emitted will vibrate the target.

An hour later.

[Practice the tortoise breathing technique, proficiency +1].

Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but open his eyes and exhale slowly and long.

This exhalation process lasted for nearly thirty seconds.

Cheng Zongyang breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head slightly.

"It's only been five minutes. It's really hard to change the rhythm of your breathing."

Although thirty minutes may not seem like a long time, every minute of breakthrough is extremely difficult.

After an hour, he gained a little proficiency, which meant effective breathing practice. Even if he followed the practice techniques, only one time in this hour would be correct.

But since you have chosen this practice, you must stick to it.

Thick blood, high defense, and long life, these four benefits are enough to make him persist!
For the next five days, Cheng Zongyang did not go to the county town, nor did he return to the mountains. Instead, he stayed in the wilderness world to practice the breath-holding technique.

Ma San and others worked day and night, shoveling out rice seedlings from the ground, gathering them together, and then tying them into balls and putting them aside.

There is no need for spacing when cultivating rice seedlings, as they are planted densely, so it is also convenient to shovel, dig and tie them into bundles.

They worked day and night for the past five days, and fortunately, they were warriors and soul slaves, so even if they didn't rest, it would not affect their body functions and energy.

It can be said that they are soul slaves with endless energy. The only drawback is that no matter what strength, skills, or talents they have, they cannot be improved.

On the day of remodeling, everything is fixed.

The results are very good. Five hundred acres of rice seedlings have been piled up in more than a dozen places.

During this period, water mixed with growth liquid should be sprinkled on them from time to time to ensure their vitality.

"Sir!" Ma San shouted inside at the door of the market hut.

Cheng Zongyang, who was sitting on a wooden bed practicing, opened his eyes when he heard this.

As he slowly exhaled in a minute, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Ma San responded respectfully: "Sir, there are currently about 500 acres of rice seedlings that can be planted. They can be transported away first. The remaining 400 acres should be able to be planted in four or five days."

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang nodded slowly and said, "I understand. Then send it in and let's start."

"Yes, my lord!"

Next, everyone helped to deliver bundles of rice seedlings to the hut. Cheng Zongyang went out first.

It was almost midnight at this time.

Going down the mountain and rushing to the vicinity of the farmland, there were indeed 30 people in two sheds patrolling and supervising the existing farmland at night. They were all gang members arranged by Li Lu.

Cheng Zongyang found one of them and asked him to tell Zhao Laoqi to prepare to take over the crops and start farming.

Cheng Zongyang returned to the rural road of Linjia Village and took out the bundles of rice seedlings one by one and put them away, making sure that none of them were overlapped or folded.

A series of bundles of rice seedlings extended down along the country road. When Zhao Laoqi arrived with hundreds of people, Cheng Zongyang had just finished picking up all the bundles of rice seedlings, which stretched for two to three hundred meters.

Also among the crowd was Li Lu.

"Why are you here? I thought you were resting." Seeing Li Lu coming, Cheng Zongyang asked with a smile.

However, Li Lu's next words made Cheng Zongyang stunned.

Li Lu said with a gloomy face:
"I haven't slept for two days! Some people came from the north. I didn't dare to send anyone out of the west to come here these two days. I sent food here quietly at night to prevent them from discovering what's going on here."

Zhao Laoqi also seemed a little anxious: "Master Cheng, it is said that the people who came are from the affiliated families of the Thirteen Royal Clan. They are here to withdraw food!

These bastards, the people in the city only have one meal a day, and now they are actually coming to siphon off food! They really don't want to give the people in the city a way to survive!

Fortunately, the food was hidden. We just said that there was not much food, and most of it was taken away by the previous people. But they didn't believe it and gave us three days, otherwise they would kill Lord Li and the gang leaders like us. "

After hearing this, Cheng Zongyang understood the situation. He asked Li Lu:
"Since they know you're behind this, have you asked why they came to the county to extract food? Has the war situation on the front line changed?"

Li Lu nodded: "Yes, I approached them under the pretext of seeking refuge, and after asking, I learned that the Thirteen Royal Clans had already reached the border between Xiangyang Prefecture and Beiding Prefecture.

But the people of Daliang had gained experience, and moved all the food and people from the counties that could not be defended to Beiding. As a result, the thirteen royal families who relied on fighting to support the war had no food, so they were requisitioned from the counties in the rear!
In addition, I also heard that Daliang was preparing to defend the five prefectures of Beiding, Jiyun, Qingfeng, Yangzhou, and Luoyang. Haining was captured by the Jin State; Xichuan, Linchuan, and Xiangyang were captured by the thirteen royal families, and Daliang seemed to have given up. "

Hearing this news, Cheng Zongyang was really shocked!
"What on earth is Daliang guarding? Why would they abandon four prefectures for it?"

Li Lu shook his head: "I am curious about this, but I didn't ask them, so they don't know. How should we solve this problem now?"

"How many people came? What's their cultivation level?" Cheng Zongyang asked again.

"Six people! Three seventh-rank and three eighth-rank!" Li Lu said, "Once the grain is collected, it will be loaded onto carts and sent to the front line by people from the county."

Cheng Zongyang fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about how to end the situation after killing these six people.

He had already invested everything he had, there was no way he would give it up just because of these six people.

Since they came here to collect food, it means that the front-line troops are aware of it. If people come and don't leave, someone will naturally come to investigate.

Therefore, they must not die in the city and leave any clues.

Then, they can only die on the road or leave the county! No matter what the method is.

By then, even if someone comes to investigate, they can say that they didn't see the person or that the person has left.

"Brother, Zhao Laoqi! How many people have seen those six people?" Cheng Zongyang asked again.

Li Lu looked at Zhao Laoqi, who said quickly, "There weren't many people. They arrived at 10:00 p.m. last night and rode in through the north city gate. Only a few of us from the gang saw them. We stayed in the backyard of the county government office and later found the four gang leaders and then Lord Li."

Now, Cheng Zongyang had an idea in mind, and immediately said to Zhao Laoqi: "You should immediately arrange for people to plant all the rice seedlings. Otherwise, they will wither and die."

Zhao Laoqi nodded and immediately notified his men to arrange for the farmers to do the work.

Then Cheng Zongyang gestured to the two of them, walked a little further away, and whispered his arrangements to them.

There is nothing else to do but feed them wilderness beans and trap them in the wilderness world first!
It was rare to have six warriors of the seventh or eighth rank, and he didn't want to waste them! As long as he could purchase new soul crystals, he could have three more soul slaves of the eighth or even seventh rank!
What we need now is to buy time.

The city cannot be without food! He is not a saint who is compassionate to the world, but his plan cannot be separated from the county!

If the county town becomes an empty city, a dead city, the Cheng family's plan for external development will probably be delayed for a long time! If the output materials cannot be circulated, the external materials cannot be obtained, and the overcapacity can easily lead to slow development.

This is not a big deal. The important thing is that the development of the wilderness world will also be delayed!
He would rather the county had half as many people as before than see it empty!
So, now is the time to delay!

Li Lu and Zhao Laoqi were both shocked after hearing Cheng Zongyang's plan!
"Their cultivation is at the seventh and eighth levels! Where are the six of them?" Zhao Laoqi swallowed, his hands trembling a little.

Is this something that a few small gang members who aren't even warriors can do?

What a joke!
Li Lu also frowned and looked at Cheng Zongyang.

"You are already a seventh-rank?" Li Lu thought of a possibility. He was shocked!
Is it...

A possibility occurred to him!
The medicine that his master developed has already been developed!

At this time, Cheng Zongyang nodded and said, "So, I need your cooperation and stun them according to the plan. I will take care of the rest!

Tomorrow we will find a few more people to pretend to be us, and ride away to the east of the city in broad daylight in front of everyone. Even if someone comes to investigate later, we will have a unified story, no clues, and what the people have seen, so basically everyone will be fine. Now, what we lack is time!"

Seeing this, Li Lu, who had temporarily calmed down, and Zhao Laoqi, who was unaware of the situation, thought for a long time and then agreed to Cheng Zongyang's plan.

Cheng Zongyang went to a deserted place under the pretext of going to the bathroom, entered the wilderness world and fetched eight wilderness beans, two of which were reserved.

The thirty wild beans I purchased a few months ago have never been used, but now they are used. And they are used on outsiders.

This medium-sized wild bean can make a person sleep for six hours. If it's not enough, just "refill".

As long as you eat it, even the top three masters will be affected!
Returning to them, he pretended to rummage in his bosom, took out a small porcelain bottle, and handed it to Li Lu.

"No matter what method you use, each person will take one pill. Once you take it, you won't wake up until you have slept for six hours! I'll take care of the rest. Keep the remaining two pills as a backup."

Hearing this, Li Lu solemnly took the porcelain bottle and put it in his arms, nodding and saying, "This is not a problem. Since it is not poisonous and is just dormant, it will be much easier."

Later, Li Lu took Zhao Laoqi back to the city, leaving the affairs here to the younger brothers.

Cheng Zongyang also kept an eye on the rice seedlings to prevent any accidents. He wasted no time and began to practice alone in the shed.

As a result, in the middle of the night, one of Zhao Laoqi's younger brothers came running and told him that the plan was successful.

When Cheng Zongyang heard this, he didn't expect that this plan would go so smoothly!

He immediately rushed to the county government office.
