Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 258 0257: Upgrade the skills; leave!

In the following period of time, Cheng Zongyang was very active in the Dayi Chamber of Commerce, and took Zhang Zeyu and Cheng Zongwen to "punch in for work" every day.

In order to make each department of the Chamber of Commerce familiar with its own people, we also bring them into contact with each other, treat them to meals, and let them get familiar with each other.

Similarly, Cheng Zongyang also let Zhang Zeyu and Cheng Zongwen handle many things.

Chen Kaishan had no objection to Cheng Zongyang's arrangement, as long as the purchasing department on Cheng Zongyang's side did not delay things.

Cheng Zongwen is a gentle and handsome man. After knowing Cheng Zongyang's purpose, he works very hard and enthusiastically in the Chamber of Commerce. He also takes the initiative to make friends with non-deacon personnel in various departments of the Chamber of Commerce.

With Cheng Zongyang's money and resources, as well as the intelligence support of Dishatang, Cheng Zongwen gave just the right amount of "help" to those people and made many friends.

Cheng Zongwen also controlled his work very well. He was neither too enthusiastic nor cold. Just like boiling a frog in warm water, he gradually deepened the relationship between assistants and subordinates in various departments.

Gradually, Cheng Zongwen was able to get a lot of information and some operating mechanisms from those people, like chatting.

Cheng Zongyang was truly impressed by his cousin's ability to get things done, but he also underestimated the training he had received in the village over the past year.

In just three months, he was completely integrated into the Dayi Chamber of Commerce, and almost no one didn't know him. However, his just-right relationships and his sense of boundaries did not attract the attention of some people.

They all thought that their cousin Cheng Zongyang was a sociable person who liked to make friends and was worldly-wise, and they were all generous with their praises.

Mid-April, around noon, at the Cheng residence in Yunli Lane, west of the city.

At this time in the Cheng family study, Zhou Zhendong and Cheng Zongwen were sitting opposite Cheng Zongyang.

This time, Cheng Zongyang did not call anyone else, nor did he want too many people to know.

"Second cousin." Cheng Zongyang looked at Zhou Zhendong and said, "During this period, I have told you what I should arrange. After I leave, I will arrange it according to the time. If it is very urgent, go back to the village and ask our elders for a decision. I may be at sea by then.

Remember, if you encounter a matter involving life and death, keep everything you can and return to the village. If you lose something, I can take it back when I come back. There is no need to risk your life, understand?"

Zhou Zhendong also knew that Cheng Zongyang was going to go out to sea to look for immortal cultivators, so he said very seriously: "Don't worry. I've made a note of it. But you have to be careful too. Countless forces can't find him, and you can't be in danger. You are the backbone of the family."

Cheng Zongyang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I haven't lived enough. When I come back, it will be time for us to fully implement all our plans."

As he said that, he looked at his cousin and said, "Just stay the same as before. Dayi Chamber of Commerce is your home ground. If you need anything, talk to your brother Zhendong. When I'm not around, he's the person in charge."

"Yes, I remember it." Cheng Zongwen nodded heavily.

As he spoke, he pointed to the 30-centimeter box beside him and continued, "Although I may have thought too much, I still want to keep a hand. Once you encounter a life-and-death crisis, the geomagnetic stone cannot protect you, and you cannot retreat to the village in time, then give this box to Chen Kaishan and let him protect you on behalf of the Dayi Chamber of Commerce."

At this point, Cheng Zongwen asked, "Brother, is this a bit serious?"

"I hope I won't need it." Cheng Zongyang said, "But there is always a chance of something happening. Also, after I leave, if anyone asks me where I've been, just say I went to Luoyang Prefecture to do some work. There's no need to say anything else."

"Yes."

The two of them said no more. Only the two brothers knew about going to the sea to look for the immortal.

After they left, Cheng Zongyang felt the power in his body and knew that it was time for a breakthrough.

In the past three months, apart from some normal training, he has basically been in the simulated training of the wilderness world to adapt his talent. This talent is his greatest reliance on this trip to the sea to find land. For this reason, he even slowed down his training.

"You can leave after the breakthrough today."

Soon, he entered the market hut.

One acupoint is broken through every day, and today is the day when all the eight meridian acupoints are connected.

It was a familiar process, and Cheng Zongyang did not seem to be too deliberate or careful, and continued to proceed step by step.

Two hours later, it was as if a tunnel boring machine had broken through the mountain, and a sense of power spread throughout the body, and all the eight extraordinary meridians were "fully connected" at this moment!
At this moment, he seemed to feel the surge, surging, and high-speed flow of qi and blood in his body, as well as an obvious temperature gradually rising in his body.

At the same time, he also felt the true Qi gradually increasing in the twelve meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians. It seemed that the surging Qi and blood were rapidly condensing into true Qi, and then the true Qi was rapidly increasing in the meridians.

Cheng Zongyang understood immediately that this was the process of breaking through the skin at the acupoint nodes after the acupoints were connected, so that the true Qi could flow in and out of the body!
Thinking of this, Cheng Zongyang did not get distracted and continued to practice his skills.

As strands of true Qi are integrated into the true Qi flow, the true Qi condenses and contracts at various acupoints, compressing like a spring.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Cheng Zongyang felt countless dense swelling and pain all over his body, he knew it was almost time.

Immediately, he took a deep breath and stopped the flow of true energy according to the instructions of the last level of the Turtle Breathing Technique.

At this moment, it was like a high-speed engine was suddenly stopped, bringing different inertia and explosive power. As a result, the true qi in each acupoint was immediately aroused, and it burst out towards the outside of the skin, breaking through the acupoints.

The clothes on Cheng Zongyang's body were instantly torn into pieces by the invisible true energy that suddenly gushed out, and his hair stood on end!
Cheng Zongyang found that not only was there no pain, but it was an extremely comfortable feeling, just like a bowl of hot ginger soup for a person with a cold. Instantly goose bumps appeared on his skin and his whole body felt refreshed.

This process lasted only a few seconds. The pressure in the acupoints was released, the pores closed, and everything returned to normal.

But Cheng Zongyang also felt the loss of internal energy.

“We have reached the state of enlightenment!”

Cheng Zongyang didn't care about the loss of his true energy, but clearly understood what realm he had reached! When he could skillfully control the opening and closing of the acupoints and condense the true energy to gather and send, this situation would naturally not happen again.

But at this moment, a prompt interface appeared in front of him.
【Breakthrough in realm, and upgrade the skills. 】

Seeing this tip, Cheng Zongyang smiled. The reason why he didn't change to those Qigong methods was because he had better, more complete, more detailed, and more experienced methods to upgrade. It was much more convenient than him to slowly explore.

Call up the interface to check the proficiency of the skills.

-

Turtle Breathing and Breath Holding Method (164/164)↑
-

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang thought about it and upgraded. The next second, the prompt appeared again:
-

If the requirements for upgrading the martial arts are met, 30000 points will be spent to upgrade the martial arts level. The top three martial arts are the methods for refining true essence.

Please select a method as the direction:
[Xuanwu Breath Swallowing Method]: A method of refining true essence. The technique is steady and slow, and focuses on foundation and defense.

[The Secret of the Innate Qi]: A method of refining true essence. This method is steady and peaceful, and can condense the Qi in the chest, which can increase combat power.

[Domineering Body Tempering Qi Method]: A method of refining true essence. The technique is profound and fierce. It strengthens the body and gathers qi. While cultivating a strong physique, it also condenses domineering true essence.

——Looking at these three techniques, after learning about them in detail, Cheng Zongyang did not expect that in the end he would still be unable to do without the Xiantian Yiqi Jue.

But after he understood it a little, he no longer hesitated and chose the second method of Xiantian Yiqi Jue!

There are three reasons:

First, he was more familiar with this technique;

Second, this technique is neither fast nor slow, nor radical. Xuanwu is slow, which he doesn't like now. And Tyrant Body is even more inconsistent with his temperament of liking stability.

Third, in the future, all the brothers in the clan will practice the Xiantian Yiqi Jue. If I learn it myself, I can teach them in the future.

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

The next second, the interface information changes:

[30000 points have been successfully deducted, and the grade of your martial arts technique has been upgraded... Data integration in progress... You have obtained the advanced martial arts technique, Xiantian Yiqi Jue! ]

Next, a large amount of new information about martial arts, experience, etc. flooded into Cheng Zongyang’s brain.

After he absorbed and integrated all the information of the Xiantian Yiqi Jue and turned it into his own experience, he slowly opened his eyes.

He raised his right palm and a thought came to him!
The next moment, an invisible breath gushed out from the palm. At the moment of gushing out, the breath was quickly shortened, condensed, and linked, and then slowly turned into a thin film like a transparent bubble.

This layer of membrane was only about one centimeter away from the skin, like a thin film bubble covering his right palm.

"Is this the release of true energy? Magical!"

Cheng Zongyang felt the internal energy on his right palm and was amazed. He controlled the true energy according to his memory, bound it on the surface of his body, and turned it into energy!
This was also because he didn't have enough Qi and wasn't familiar with controlling it. But as the Qi in his body increased in the future, he would become more proficient in controlling it, and releasing it half a meter outside the body would not be a problem.

Successfully entered the third level of the upper third level of the awakening realm! Now, his meridians are open, the acupoints are connected, and he can release his true energy freely.

The purpose of the upper three levels is to skillfully control the opening and closing of more acupoints, condense the true qi, purify the true qi, and thus expel impurities and toxins from the body.

The simple description is to control it as you wish, constantly increase it, and constantly purify it! Lay the foundation for entering the extraordinary!

The length of the process of refining true Qi depends solely on one's physical condition and the degree to which one condenses the true Qi.

This process can be as short as you want or as long as you want. The difference lies in whether you are willing to condense more true qi. That's all.

His true Qi can now be released, and he has been practicing in seclusion with elixirs for the past few months, constantly improving his cultivation, with the main purpose of solving the problem of going into the sea.

In the past three months, he has also prepared to go to sea. Now that all the affairs in the county have been arranged, and his cultivation has successfully broken through, Cheng Zongyang is relieved.

As long as he is here, no matter how much damage this place suffers, as long as people are still here, it will eventually recover.

The next moment, he called out his own attribute interface.

Looking at his own message, Cheng Zongyang also shook his head slightly.

"The contract with the Tianduan Gang should have expired, so the five-year life extension is gone. But it's enough for now, so we can make arrangements later."

Cheng Zongyang shook his head slightly and stopped arranging for the contract to be signed. As long as the core personnel signed it, there was no need to rush for the rest.

Looking at his adaptability talent in the end, he was still very satisfied. He had been practicing continuously during this period, spending countless points in the practice room, and encountered many dangers in Yuhai. But his training was not in vain.

At the very least, for a master-level talent, the adaptation time is only one second.

After closing the interface, he came out of the market hut and found that it was already night.

Without disturbing others, Cheng Zongyang packed up some things and put them in the market hut, then quietly left Yufeng County and headed south.

Everything has been arranged, no need to wait. The next journey is to go to the seaside south of Xiangyang, go east by keel boat, and reach the abyss of the East China Sea.

After leaving Yufeng County, under the moonlit night, Cheng Zongyang released a wildebeest tamed by Luo Zheng from the wilderness and galloped away along the official road to the south.

He didn't want to waste time on the road, so he rode a wildebeest. Although wildebeests are not exotic animals, they are also a very strong wild horse in the wilderness, with excellent endurance and speed. Later, many of them were domesticated and became mounts for many hunting and exploration teams.

Cheng Zongyang kept changing horses as he traveled quickly. As the sky gradually brightened, he galloped for nearly ten hours, changing three horses. After bypassing many counties, towns, deserted villages, and blocked roads, Cheng Zongyang finally arrived at the border between Xiangyang Prefecture and Luoyang Prefecture, a seaside belonging to the Hailing County of Xiangyang Prefecture.

After taking the panting wildebeest into the wilderness, Cheng Zongyang followed it into the market hut. He rested in the recovery chair to recover from his fatigue and energy before leaving.

He climbed a mountain and looked out at the sea.

Looking down from the mountain, you can see the entire seaside scenery.

The seawater is deep blue, connecting with the sky, forming a magnificent picture. At this time, boats from the villages at the foot of the mountain have already started fishing.

The morning sun shone through the clouds onto the sea, making the waves sparkle like countless gold. The waves sometimes hit the few reefs on the shore, sometimes rushed onto the beach and rolled back, making a rustling sound, which made him feel peaceful and harmonious.

The sea here is much calmer than the Yu Sea in the wilderness world.

The small village at the foot of the mountain is also clearly visible, with houses scattered in an orderly manner and shaded by green trees. Villagers are busy working in the fields at the foot of the mountain, some are washing clothes by the river, some are repairing fishing nets, and some are repairing fishing boats.

It seems that this place has never been affected by anything inland.
