Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 75 Martial Arts Realm
"It's you?" Li Lu was a little surprised.

I was just thinking about this person's situation, and now he appears in front of me.

"Uncle Li, I'm Cheng Zongyang, sorry to bother you." Cheng Zongyang was very polite and bowed slightly in a familiar manner.

"Come in and sit down."

Don't hit a smiling person. Seeing Cheng Zongyang being so polite, although Li Lu was puzzled about the other party's purpose, he still invited him in with a smile.

After Cheng Zongyang went in, Li Lu closed the door and followed him into the main room.

"Sit down." Li Lu gestured and sat down.

After Li Lu sat down, Cheng Zongyang followed suit.

Li Lu got straight to the point: "No one comes to visit you for no reason. What brings you here at this time?"

It's dinner time at this time. When a stranger comes to visit your home, you don't have to chat about family matters, and there's no need to make small talk.

Seeing that the other party was so direct, Cheng Zongyang saved some thoughts and stopped being hypocritical and polite. He smiled and said:
"Excuse me for disturbing you. It's nothing, it's about my second uncle. According to my second aunt, you spent a lot of effort and used a lot of connections to find out about my second uncle's situation. So I came here to ask some questions."

Li Lu was quite surprised when he saw Cheng Zongyang's attitude and performance after he came in.

Is he really a farmer's son? And not one raised by a wealthy family?
Most importantly, is this a warrior?
He had seen humble young men in government offices, wealthy families, gangs, and martial arts schools. He had also seen young martial artists.

But he had never seen such a humble and polite young warrior.

Those who have seen him all look down upon them with arrogance, even if he is an unofficial clerk.

When a farmer's son sees a government official, he will also regard him as an official and have a sense of superiority and inferiority. But he did not see that kind of expression in the eyes of the young man in front of him. There was only equal respect, and his aura was upright and graceful.

"Mr. Cheng, you can go ahead and say whatever you want." Li Lu looked respectful. He thought to himself that this kid Zhou was not an easy person to deal with.

After Cheng Zongyang organized his words a little, he asked, "Is my second uncle in the government office?"

Li Lu nodded without hesitation or concealment, "Yes, it's in the backyard of the government office. According to what I heard, all the doctors in the city's clinics have been invited there."

Cheng Zongyang continued to ask: "If one or two people leave, will there be any impact?"

Li Lu paused. He shook his head and said:
"That's not clear. I can't enter there with my identity."

"Who can enter?" Cheng Zongyang asked.

"Hmm..." Li Lu thought for a moment and said, "In Yufeng County, almost all security inspections, arrests, investigations, etc. are handled by the Yamen Inspection Office.

The guards this time are also from the Inspection Department. Although I am one of them, I am only at the lowest level. Only those who want to enter can be constables or above. "

Cheng Zongyang understood a little in his heart.

The County Inspection Office here, like the Municipal Public Security Bureau in the previous life, is responsible for all security matters.

He thought for a moment and asked, "I want to ask, who is the strongest person in the county?"

Hearing this, Li Lu's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

Feeling that this sentence is very ambiguous. Li Lu couldn't help but look at Cheng Zongyang with suspicion, and asked tentatively: "What do you mean by this?"

Cheng Zongyang saw his expression and knew that he had misunderstood. He said, "I don't mean anything else. I just asked."

Li Lu frowned, and after a moment, he whispered, "Director of the Inspection Department. I heard that he is a warrior at the peak of the seventh rank, and is only one step away from the sixth rank."

Cheng Zongyang understood now. Finally he asked, "Where is Captain Zheng?"

Hearing Cheng Zongyang mentioning the name, he couldn't help but be stunned: "You know Captain Zheng."

After asking, I thought about it. Captain Zheng is an eighth-rank warrior. Isn't it normal for a warrior to know another warrior?
But Cheng Zongyang shook his head: "I don't know him, but I want to find him. Can you introduce him to me? Or show me the way. I want to visit him."

Li Lu had a higher opinion of Cheng Zongyang.

This kid is really not simple!
"I know Captain Zheng, but Captain Zheng doesn't know me. I'm just a constable under the constable." Li Lu smiled bitterly. "But I know where he is. It shouldn't be difficult to meet him. You must meet him. If you make trouble for no reason, I'm afraid he will be unhappy." "It's okay. I'll take care of anything that happens."

Seeing that Cheng Zongyang didn't look like he was joking, he agreed.

The sooner the better, the sooner the better, and Li Lu did not delay.

Now that things have come to this, there's nothing more to worry about.

So, under the guidance of Li Lu, the two headed towards the east of the city.

On the way, Li Lu also asked Cheng Zongyang about the practice of martial artists.

But Cheng Zongyang had only a vague understanding of cultivation, and could only understand some of the cultivation experiences of body-building exercises. He could hardly answer his questions about sword techniques and knife techniques.

As for where he learned the skills from, Cheng Zongyang just made up an excuse like a ranger.

However, when asked for advice on cultivation, Cheng Zongyang was able to answer based on some knowledge points of body-building exercises.

This made Li Lu extremely excited.

Learning martial arts with someone to guide you and learning martial arts without someone to guide you are two different things. Otherwise, what's the point of becoming a disciple?
Wouldn't it be enough to spend dozens or hundreds of taels of silver and find a way to secretly buy a third-grade martial arts technique from some channels and practice it yourself?

During the journey, Cheng Zongyang also asked Li Lu about some things in the city.

Before he became a warrior, his knowledge of the city was limited to what he should know, could know, and what was on the surface according to his identity.

Just like a worker in a city, all he knows is what’s on the surface.

But now he wants to know more about the overall situation in the county.

Li Lu could understand this problem, which was almost the same as Xiaobai's.

After all, what a farmer comes into contact with is really just the surface.

Even an ordinary warrior, before being recruited, can only know what is on the surface and what is visible to everyone.

Only by joining in can you understand the various things involved.

So Li Lu told him everything that happened in the county.

Which powerful families are there, which gangs are there, which martial arts schools are there, what kind of warriors are there, how strong are they, what forces are supporting them, etc...

Gradually, Cheng Zongyang filled out this "county map" through questions and answers.

At the same time, he also learned about the divisions of martial arts and the true situation of power that he only half understood!
——Martial arts are divided into lower three grades, middle three grades, upper three grades, and the final innate grade!

The lower three grades: ninth grade skin polishing, eighth grade tendon strengthening, and seventh grade bone strengthening;

This level belongs to the tempering of tendons, bones and skin, which can not only comprehensively improve the body's defense, endurance, explosive power, resistance, etc., but also condense the essence and blood, laying the foundation for entering the middle three grades.

The middle three grades: the sixth grade opens the meridians, the fifth grade cuts the marrow, and the fourth grade refines the internal organs;

This state belongs to the internal tempering of the body.

The condensed blood essence washes the meridians, and after the meridians are unblocked, it further cleanses the marrow and cuts the bones, refines the blood, and makes the blood like mercury, without obstruction in the meridians. The blood gradually refines the organs, improving the vitality and strength of the internal organs, and the process of washing the marrow, exchanging blood, and refining the blood will also produce true qi, also known as strength! It can hurt people from a distance!
The top three grades: the third grade is open, the second grade is spotless, and the first grade is pure essence;
This state is about deep improvement of the body.

Acupoints are the nodes where Qi and blood in the human body are transported and converge, and are also the connection nodes between the human body and the outside world.

Access to the acupoints can make the circulation of Qi, blood and true Qi faster and more sensitive; the circulation of true Qi can expel impurities and toxins from the body, allowing the body to reach a pure state. The pure meridian acupoint environment can make the true Qi more condensed and pure, and then pass through the acupoints through the body to form pure Yuan Gang Qi, which has a body-protecting effect.

The pinnacle of martial arts—Xiantian!
This is a process of spiritual enlightenment and further improvement of the body. Continue to further condense the Qi and blood to form the Vitality.

Yuan Qi combines with Zhen Qi and turns into Zhen Yuan.

Zhen Yuan is almost the original energy of the body, and its power is far stronger than Zhen Qi!
