Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 269 0268: Sudden Increase in Lifespan
About half a minute later, Cheng Zongyang finally sobered up a lot.

He didn't feel anything in his previous state. He only had one thought, to consume the excess spiritual energy!
But at this moment, he felt the disappearance of the spiritual energy in his body, the almost exhausted true energy, and the depleted qi and blood, and realized that he almost collapsed.

He suppressed his physical weakness, and with a thought, his body instantly lay on the wooden bed for testing.

The result was beyond his expectation. Although his true Qi and Qi and blood were deficient, his meridians were not damaged.

Now, he realized that the spiritual energy was under his control, allowing it to repair and nourish himself, and finally the remaining spiritual energy that could not be used was excreted from the body.

The next second, his body moved to the wooden bench and he regained his energy.

Suddenly, his condition returned to its peak!
Now, Cheng Zongyang also became full of energy and vigor. He immediately called out his attribute interface to see how much progress this half of the Qi Gathering Pill had brought him.

“It’s really scary!”

Cheng Zongyang looked at the progress of the technique, which had skyrocketed from single digits to nine thousand in half an hour! It was scary just to think about it!
But when he saw the progress of Phantom Blade from the beginner to the current pinnacle, he almost popped his eyes out!

"Practicing the Phantom Blade while taking half a Qi Gathering Pill unexpectedly has such a terrifying effect... No, it's spiritual energy!"

"The spiritual energy repaired the damage caused by my terrifying training intensity, so I can continuously break through the limits of my training and make such terrifying progress!"

Cheng Zongyang figured out the reason.

If it is a normal speed, as long as you don't break the limit, no matter how fast you go, the progress you get in half an hour will not exceed 100 points!
Therefore, if you want to make rapid progress in martial arts, one must, first, constantly break through the limits of practice, and second, have a controllable amount of excess spiritual energy to be continuously repaired, which is equivalent to the warrior's body continuously absorbing spiritual energy!
But he also knew that this extreme method could only be achieved by him, or with a strong person by his side to protect him at any time.

"No wonder warriors can't take it, the side effects are really scary! According to the current strength, one pill is still not enough, one pill will really cause trouble. Continue to practice with half a pill. In this way, in about seven days, I can enter the second level!

The wooden bench can be used three times a day, regardless of whether the martial arts foundation is stable or not. This means that you can practice three times a day, which means that you can make 27,000 to 28,000 points of progress a day! Seven days can be shortened to two days!"

Thinking of this, Cheng Zongyang's mood improved.

The foundation is not a problem and it can be strengthened through training in simulated battles in the training room.

After that, he continued to observe the changes in his personal attributes. Because the phantom sword also used the moves in the basic sword technique, the basic sword technique also advanced continuously.

However, his smile did not last long. When he saw that his lifespan had increased, his smile suddenly disappeared and his brows instantly frowned.

The time added later was only 114 days a month ago, and it had not changed before that. But he had not looked at the interface properties in the past month. Who would have thought that in this month, the time actually increased by 210 days!
He quickly did some reverse calculations and came to the conclusion that 35 people who signed the contract had died!
He didn't know whether the dead were core members of the gang or people from the village. But thirty-five people died in one month, which meant something happened in the county town or Chengjia Village!

He stood up and walked out, going directly to Luo Daoren's formation hall.

He still hadn't seen Luo Dingran, but when he saw Luo Daoren making the array plates, he couldn't help but ask: "How many array plates are there in total?"

Seeing Cheng Zongyang suddenly coming, Taoist Luo quickly put down the things in his hands and said quickly: "Sir, not counting the one you used, there are already seventeen."

Cheng Zongyang calculated in his mind and knew it was 42500 kilometers!

"This distance should be enough."

During the voyage, he had nothing to measure the distance on the sea. In addition, he sailed at different speeds, stopped and moved, so the distance could only be estimated.

But he felt that a distance of 40,000 kilometers should be enough.

So he had to prepare some things and observe the changes in his lifespan for another two days. If there were no more changes, it meant that the matter was not serious. If it continued to increase, he had to rush back.

No matter what happened, he had to go back and set up the teleportation array.

Next time, just send it multiple times.

In the next two days, Cheng Zongyang asked the mole to clear out an underground space of several hundred square meters and then temporarily stopped digging and set up a teleportation array.

After that, he spent 2,300 spirit stones to buy a set of third-order secret arrays to hide the location of the teleportation array. This way, even if a foundation-building cultivator came, it would be impossible to find it. Unless a Jindan cultivator came!
During these two days, he saw that his life span was occasionally increasing, so he understood that things should gradually stabilize, but people were still injured and killed!
He did not delay any longer. After ensuring the safety of the courtyard and keeping the second-level external protective array open, he entered the underground chamber and activated the teleportation array. The next moment, he disappeared into the array and appeared in a wooden platform house on the surface of the East China Sea.

This is not the underground world of ice and fire where there are no cultivators. A first-level magic formation is enough to deceive even the most skilled masters.

With the magic circle in place, there is no need to worry about this teleportation magic circle being discovered.

Next, he boarded the keelboat without wasting time.

He took out the distance measuring instrument and controlled the keel boat to turn back to the west. In the past two days, he had almost used up all his points, using them to buy a lot of ready-made magic arrays and a lot of magic instruments and spirit stones used at sea.

He knew very well that if a warrior like him used a large amount of spirit stones to purchase things, the consequences would be obvious without even thinking about it.

So he chose to buy!
He used the points to directly purchase the multiple magic arrays with concealment and protection that he needed, as well as the fixed magic tools to serve as offshore platforms.

After all, there might be many islands within a limited distance, or there might not be any islands at all. So he had to prepare a few.

He also pulled out the activation token on the teleportation array of the Xiuxian World. He had to take this only activation token to enter the Ice and Fire Xiuxian World, and he didn't need to take the other teleportation arrays on the way back. Without this most critical array, no one could enter!

With the distance-measuring device, Cheng Zongyang only needed fifteen or sixteen hours to travel a distance of 2500 kilometers at full speed.

While on the journey, Cheng Zongyang was not idle either, and continued to practice with the Qi Gathering Pill!
At the same time, far away in Yufeng County of Xiangyang Prefecture, the Tianduan Gang’s headquarters was in a solemn and murderous atmosphere, with everyone on high alert.

In the meeting hall, all the hall masters and key core personnel were gathered here, their eyes all looking at the person in the center with murderous intent!
Among them were Zhou Zhendong and Cheng Zongwen, who were standing aside, staring at the indifferent man standing in the middle.

But his right hand was bandaged, obviously injured. Other people from other halls were also injured.

Li Lu stared at a man who was visiting in the middle of the room, and said gloomily, "No need to waste words! You robbed my Tianduan Village, killed my gang members, and hurt my friends. You want to negotiate peace? Impossible!"

The middle-aged man in the middle said indifferently:

"Don't get one thing wrong. This is not a peace talk. You have to hand over everything in Tianduan Village as compensation for murdering my Liu family members. In addition, your small gang has to withdraw from Xicheng District! And for the sake of the Dayi Chamber of Commerce, I will stop and spare all of your lives! Otherwise, can you and the Cheng family still talk here?"

"Then there's no room for negotiation." Li Lu laughed angrily, "Don't think that we can do nothing just because you invited a fourth-rank warrior!"

But at this moment, Li Xuejin suddenly said, "Your Excellency, do you want Tianduan Village?"

As soon as Li Xuejin said this, the others who were about to speak angrily swallowed their words. Even Li Lu stopped talking.

Over the past few months, everyone has seen Li Xuejin's ability. Today's Tianduan Gang is no longer the same as before. Everything is in order and the efficiency has been greatly improved. Even the smooth development of the business is inseparable from Li Xuejin's detailed arrangements.

Therefore, his position in the gang is equal to that of Li Lu. But Li Xuejin is also very resourceful. He basically gives Li Lu face and makes him the leader. This makes the gang more stable, rather than making the gang members feel that they don't know who has the final say.

"That's right." The middle-aged man sneered, "I'll give you three days, otherwise more people will die."

Li Xuejin said calmly, "You said you did it for the sake of the Dayi Chamber of Commerce. Don't you know that the food grown in Tianduan Village belongs to the Dayi Chamber of Commerce?"

"So what? We have already given the respect we deserve, and the rest is up to us!"

us?

Li Xuejin's eyes wandered, staring at the other person, and suddenly smiled:
"Then it seems that you have been fooled by the group of people behind you. They used you as a gun and you didn't even know you were sold out. They didn't tell you who is behind Tianduan Village and Tianduan Gang? Or even who this person is in Dayi Chamber of Commerce?"

The man frowned and sneered, "Isn't it just the Cheng family? A sixth-rank family whose strongest is only the middle third rank, what else can it be?"

Li Xuejin laughed, then looked at Cheng Zongwen behind Zhou Zhendong and asked, "The deacon of the Dayi Chamber of Commerce should have the authority to ask the innate masters to take action, right?"

Cheng Zongwen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he was a little confused. But when he saw the meaning in Li Xuejin's eyes, he seemed to understand something and nodded immediately, "Not bad."

He looked at the man and spoke clearly, "According to the internal assistance agreement of the Great Yi Chamber of Commerce, those who hold positions above the Chamber of Commerce deacon can ask for help from a congenital master once a year. If there are more than 3000 contributions, they can ask for help again! No matter what the matter is!"

Li Xuejin gave Cheng Zongwen an approving look, sat down slowly, looked at the man, and said with a faint smile:

"It seems that the people behind you who are using you as a pawn have not told you that there is someone in the Cheng family who serves as a steward in the Chamber of Commerce. Do you think you can leave Yufeng County with your sixth-rank cultivation? Even the fourth-rank masters you brought with you can't escape, right?"

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Dayi Chamber of Commerce to verify it yourself. If it is false, we can agree to all your requests!"

Now, the man's expression became somewhat uncertain!

Chamber of Commerce deacon?

Cheng family? Could it be the young master named Cheng Zongyang?

But why didn't anyone tell him this information?

And since the other party has said this, it is basically impossible for them to be false.

But at this time, Li Xuejin seemed not to want to give the other party a chance to think for a long time, and said:

"Sir, it is said that if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Since they are using you as a gun, can you still endure it?"

Li Xuejin continued to persuade him, "I'll tell you the truth, we have already sent a letter to the young master, and he is ready to apply to the headquarters in the city. He is probably on his way here.

There is a good saying from the ancients: I would rather die than let my friend die. They want you to die, and since you know the reason, do you still want to continue to be fooled?

I can make the decision today. I can let your Liu family live, but on the condition that you tell us who is behind you and who pushed you out without caring about your life or death. It can be considered as offsetting the merits and demerits. How do you think? "

"Your Excellency, do not rush to answer us. We will not run away, nor can we run away. You can also go to the Chamber of Commerce to verify whether what I said is true. I also do not want to see the Liu family being used as a pawn again. By the way, the last time the Liu family was used as a pawn by the He family."

The middle-aged man, who was slightly angry, looked very ugly. He glanced at the people present, snorted coldly, and left!

Seeing this man leave, everyone in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Lu was about to ask, but Li Xuejin stopped him with a wave of his hand, saying, "Be careful, walls have ears. Go to the underground secret room!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, nodded and stood up.

A moment later, in the basement of the back hall of the residence, outside the room above the basement, there were several core disciples guarding. In the spacious basement, the main hall masters gathered here.

Before Li Lu could speak, Li Xuejin said, "The Liu family came with such force this time that we were caught off guard. I have also taken a comprehensive inventory over the past few days. They came well prepared and their purpose is very obvious."

"Wild rice?" Zhou Zhendong asked.

Li Xuejin nodded: "Yes. In the month since the grain seeds were handed over to the Dayi Chamber of Commerce, many people have come to the county. Although they are all civilians, they are almost all gathered in Xicheng District, but they also often appear near Tianduan Village.

I didn't think much about it at first, after all, it's normal to be curious about Tianduan Village. But the Liu family came aggressively and targeted the village, killing many people guarding the village and threatening to take everything in Tianduan Village. The most important thing in Tianduan Village is the wild rice.

These are the only things a middle-ranking family would be interested in. The rest of the items, even the land, are completely useless to them."

"It seems that the boss's prediction before leaving was correct. Once the wilderness rice is handed over to the Dayi Chamber of Commerce and the characteristics of the wilderness rice are revealed, this place will definitely be targeted." Li Lu sighed. "I didn't expect it to come so quickly!"
