The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

After Fang Xun sighed in his heart, he curiously asked Zhen Yangzi: "Master, I have already passed the first step of true essence and the second step of furnace casting, so what about the third step of elixir formation?

Does it refer to the Taoist's golden elixir or the Buddhist's relics?"

Upon hearing the term pregnancy pill, Fang Xun certainly didn't think that it meant a real pill was being conceived in his body.

Just like the second step of the three steps of Zhenwu, 'casting a furnace', it is impossible to actually cast a furnace inside the body.

Casting a furnace is just a metaphor, which means using the classics that one has learned as firewood to melt them into a furnace, remove the dross and retain the essence to extract one's own Tao.

Dan means a perfect, bright, pure and flawless thing. Yundan is also called Dan, which is a metaphor for the original round, bright and true spiritual nature.

Different sects have different names for it. Taoism is called the golden elixir, Buddhism is called the relic, and Confucianism is called the elixir heart.

Zhen Yangzi nodded after hearing this: "Yes, it is just as you thought, after the 'casting furnace', it is the 'pregnancy of the elixir', the furnace forges hundreds of meridians, and opens a new path.

When one's own Dao is perfected, one's own true nature will also be nurtured to perfection and flawlessness, thus breaking through to the Zhenwu state!"

'Open your own way.'

After listening to this, Fang Xun thought for a while and realized that he seemed to be taking the same step.

No.

It should be said that when he was in the Yin Shen realm, he had already begun to cultivate the Hundred Classics, using the martial arts insights of the people in the Martial Arts Hall as fuel, removing the dross and retaining the essence, and nurturing his own way bit by bit.

The ten top masters who were on the list the day before Lingji's revival have all achieved perfection at this stage. If it weren't for the environmental restrictions, there would be no problem for them to break into Zhenwu.

Immediately, Fang Xun thought of the Huang Jianghu again. The heroes of the Huang Jianghu seemed to be the same as him, even more exaggerated than before their spiritual energy was revived in the present world.

People like Meng Chixing and Ba Shiba, who were able to achieve Yin God, all had already forged the furnace when they were at the highest level of awakening. After breaking through Yin God, they were qualified to be called people who had opened their own path.

Otherwise, with the world level of the Huangxi Jianghu, let alone breaking through the void, even breaking through the Yin God is a fantasy.

Those who can break the void are even more amazing, including the best among them, such as Ling Donglai and Chuan Ying.

Fang Xun even suspected that these two people had already reached the stage of "pregnant pill" when they were still in the Yin Shen realm before they broke through the void.

Once he breaks through to Yang Shen, he will be unstoppable. If he is born in the present world, he will surely become a Zhenwu land immortal!

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Fang Xun's eyes, and he felt that the road ahead suddenly became clear.

Zhen Yangzi, who was sitting opposite him, was stunned for a moment. He felt that the aura of the young man in front of him seemed to have undergone some subtle changes and became rounder.

Fang Xun recovered immediately, returned to his original state, and became ordinary again.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, but I just figured out a certain problem."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yangzi praised with amazement.

"Looking at your energy, you have clearly just broken through to the Yang God stage, but you have already come a long way towards the stage of 'pregnancy pill'.

The road ahead is bright. You just need to refine your Dao step by step. You won't encounter any bottlenecks before the Zhenwu level. I'm afraid that in a few years, I will call you a fellow Daoist."

"Master, you are too kind. I am still far from being a true warrior."

"You, really"

Looking at Fang Xun, who was neither arrogant nor impatient and was still overly modest, Zhen Yangzi smiled, shook his head and stood up.

"Master Taoist, I still have a lot of things to do, so you can go and familiarize yourself with it. There is nothing you need on weekdays, so just sort out other people's insights. If it is suitable, give it to me, if it is not suitable, just throw it away."

Fang Xun's job as a deputy is also very easy.

All warriors who come to participate in the revision of the book will put forward their own insights or suggestions during the communication. These insights will be recorded by a dedicated person and sent to Fang Xun, and his responsibility is to screen them.

If you think it is suitable, just submit it to Zhen Yangzi for review. If it is not suitable, just discard it or send it back to the proposer for revision before submitting it again.

Zhen Yangzi was very confident in Fang Xun's martial arts proficiency, so it was most appropriate to let Fang Xun be the one to check it out.

At other times, Fang Xun can move freely. He can go to the library to read books, or communicate and discuss with other warriors in Xingwu Manor, or even go home directly after reviewing his insights of the day.

After all, this is the reward given to him by Wan Haoren, so he will definitely not be too busy to have much time to practice.

'Why does it feel like I'm reviewing a paper?'

While Fang Xun was muttering to himself, he quickly stood up and saw Zhen Yangzi off.

"Master, take care."

After Zhen Yangzi leisurely left the yard, Fang Xun also began to check the yard arranged for him.

The yard is quite spacious, and although there are not many rooms, they are all large. There is even a quiet room specifically for retreat.

Fang Xun was also very satisfied. Although he was not very picky about where he lived or where he practiced martial arts, he would certainly not refuse if it was a better place.

After thinking about it, Fang Xun found paper and pen in the room, sat down at the desk and began to write quickly, copying the contents of the two unique skills, "Immortal Golden Body" and "Killing Fist" onto paper.

Since he had promised to contribute two Yang Shen-level martial arts, he would not go back on his word.

Jue Wushen's two unique skills are of pretty good quality, and they are just right for the task.

The room fell silent for a moment. As Fang Xun copied the exercises, he felt a sense of emotion.

"The spirit is revived, a new era has arrived, and it seems that every household has realized that the previous skills are no longer up to date."

The royal family revised the book, not only to add the "Three Steps of Zhenwu" back into the theoretical outline of the Yang God Realm, but also to make some changes to the previous ones from the postnatal to the Yin God Realm. Compared with the ancient human emperor era, the current era's exercises, from the postnatal to the Yin God Realm, more or less added some content that this realm should not bear.

Although this places higher demands on the warrior himself and makes training more difficult, without doing so, it is impossible to cross the chasm before the divine will.

In a nutshell, although the superficial skills are easy to practice, their potential is too poor, while the advanced skills have a high upper limit, but the difficulty is also rising.

Unlike the Human Emperor Era, in this era, there are almost no magical skills among all schools and sects that can practice step by step from the acquired realm to the divine realm.

This is because warriors who can break through the Yin God have often summarized and created their own martial arts methods, and their styles are too distinctive and only suitable for themselves.

It will be no problem for others to practice and achieve breakthroughs, but if they want to break through the chasm of divine will, they still have to learn from the strengths of various schools and follow their own path.

But now that inspiration has come back, this situation is somewhat inappropriate from the perspective of universality.

After all, not everyone is so talented, and it is not good to set the threshold of divine realm too high, so the theoretical outline must be reorganized to adapt to the new era.

Fang Xun knew that not only the Great Xuan Court, but all other forces in the world, as long as they had a Grand Master of Yangshen, were doing this in full swing. It was just that the Great Xuan Court was the most high-profile.

They all strive to allow the younger generation in their forces to have more divine realms, and at the same time they also sort out the general outline of the Zhenwu Three-Step Theory to clear the obstacles in the way for the younger generations.

He also heard Mu Xiangyun mention this casually when they were discussing Taoism on the bed.

Fang Xun's mind was full of thoughts and his hands were moving non-stop. In a short while, he had filled dozens of sheets of paper.

After tidying up, Fang Xun walked out of the room and into the yard, where he saw a minor official standing outside the yard, seemingly having been waiting for some time.

Seeing Fang Xun coming out, he hurried over, and before Fang Xun could open his mouth, he spoke first.

"You've come just in time. Take these two exercises and bind them into a book and store them in the library."

As he spoke, he handed over the thick stack in his hand. The clerk quickly reached out to take it, not daring to peek at the contents and directly wrapped it carefully with cloth.

After putting away the two sets of skills, he said respectfully, "My Lord, according to the rules, tomorrow the manor will transfer three apprentices for you to use. I just wonder if you have any requirements for the candidates."

Fang Xun nodded after hearing this, but asked directly: "Whose children are they?"

The clerk was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected the other party to be so direct.

It was of course impossible for the editors to take care of all the daily necessities of Xingwu Manor, so each of them would assign several servants to serve them.

And this opportunity to be a servant is something that countless people are vying for.

Among these editors, there is no need to say much about the masters of the imperial court. They are all well-known masters, and among them are several Yangshen Grand Masters with high status.

Although the martial artists who have been struggling in the martial arts world are of mixed quality, those who can pass the numerous screenings and become editors are all capable, even if they are only at the awakening stage.

Serving as their servant and accompanying them, if they are in a good mood, giving them some pointers or teaching them a trick or two, is something that many people would be happy to have.

However, the term "apprentice" by the petty clerk was just a nice way of saying it; in reality, it was the same as a servant.

Those who were assigned to editors with weak power were just some petty officials in the capital who relied on nepotism to insert people in, and they were called servants.

Those arranged for Fang Xun and those Yangshen Grand Masters all had some background, and were either rich or noble. It was too harsh to call them servants, so they were called apprentices.

Fang Xun didn't know how fiercely the wealthy families in the capital were fighting for his three apprentice spots, and he didn't want to know.

It’s not impossible to send three apprentices over. As long as they don’t disturb his meditation, everything else will be fine.

However, you should still find out in advance whose child the child is. If you find that the child is not suitable, just change it.

With his current status and strength, even if he said that he did not want to be ordered around by an apprentice, the other party would not dare to say anything.

The clerk was stunned for just a moment before he came to his senses and quickly answered.

"It's the third young master of Liangwuhou Mansion, the little princess of Guangpinghou Mansion, and the Liu family."

Before the clerk finished speaking, Fang Xun interrupted him and said, "The Liu family you are talking about is the Shufei's family?"

The clerk nodded immediately and said, "Your Excellency is right. He is the grandson of the emperor's uncle."

At the end, he added, "I also heard that the families of Liang Wuhou and Guangpinghou have always been close to the emperor's uncle. I wonder if the Marquis thinks these three are suitable?"

Fang Xun nodded. Shufei was Wan Chensha’s biological mother.

Originally, the position of his deputy belonged to Wan Chensha, but a few days ago, Wan Chensha accompanied Concubine Shu back to her hometown to visit her relatives, so he became Zhen Yangzi's deputy.

Not only did this concubine Shu enjoy status because of her son, but her mother's family, the Yunzhou Liu family, also benefited a lot from it.

The Yunzhou Liu family is considered to have a certain reputation in Yunzhou, but it is only famous in Yunzhou. It is not very noticeable in the whole world.

But after Concubine Shu entered the palace, the Liu family became prosperous, and after Wan Chensha became Zhen Yangzi's apprentice, things became unstoppable.

The Liu family not only became Wan Haoren's relatives, but also climbed up to the powerful backer of Tianjimen. For a time, the momentum of development was rapid. After the revival of spiritual energy, two Yin Gods emerged, and the foundation was growing day by day.

One of them was Concubine Shu's elder brother, Wan Chensha's uncle, who also came to the capital to develop.

This time, it was also thanks to Wan Chensha's relationship that he was able to get this opportunity to send his grandson to Fang Xun as an apprentice.

And the extra sentence that the clerk said was probably a hint to him that the quotas for the Liangwu Marquis and Guangping Marquis families were also contributed by Wan Chensha's uncle.

When Fang Xun heard that it was Wan Chensha's nephew, he nodded and agreed for the sake of the other party and Zhen Yangzi.

"That's the three of them." (End of this chapter)
