The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 86: Transmission of Power and Metamorphosis
In front of the gate of Liuzhi Hall.

thump -- thump -- thump --

Not long after there were three knocks on the door, the door creaked open.

A square-faced man in a gray robe behind the door just opened it and smelled a hint of blood. When he saw Fang Xun, who looked pale outside the door, his expression suddenly changed.

"Master Fang, are you injured?"

As he was about to step forward to help, Fang Xun waved his hand to signal the other party to be patient.

"It's just a minor injury. Take me to see your hall master."

"Please follow me. The hall master and his men have been waiting for some time."

After the square-faced man said this, he immediately led the way respectfully, and the two of them walked in silence in the yard.

The Liuzhitang mansion is much larger than Fang Xun's home. The courtyard has three entrances and three exits, and is even larger than the courtyard of the Li family in Sanshui County.

It was already late at night and there were not many people in the yard. As Fang Xun went deeper, he heard snoring coming from the rooms one after another. These were the disciples and apprentices of the Six Finger Hall.

"Is Duan Mingfu managing the Six Finger Hall well?"

Ever since Duan Mingfu killed Tan Liuzhi and Li Daitaojiang two years ago, he began to plan to change his career.

Not only did he restrain his men from stealing on the streets, he also directly converted the headquarters into a martial arts school where one could learn real kung fu by paying money.

There were some twists and turns during this period, and several of Tan Liuzhi's former confidants certainly had some complaints.

However, Duan Mingfu cut the Gordian knot and let several people die of illness one after another to serve as a warning to others.

He then promoted some newcomers as his confidants, and took the initiative to teach them some martial arts techniques to divert other people's attention. The transition was very smooth.

As Fang Xun walked along, he was also thinking about the future development of Liuzhitang.

Duan Mingfu and Dongfang Que have now entrusted their lives and property to him, and Liuzhitang can be considered his own power.

For the time being, he didn't expect Liuzhitang to fight for him, but he could still run errands and do some things.

"Master Fang, are you injured?!"

Just as Fang Xun followed the square-faced man into a hall, Duan Mingfu also hurried over. When he saw Fang Xun's somewhat pale face, he was immediately shocked.

Fang Xun waved his hand: "It's just a minor injury. I'll be fine after a few days of rest. Also, don't call me Lord Fang. It's too formal. Just call me Brother Xun."

At this time, he looked at Duan Mingfu and felt that the other party was like a furnace. His face was a little yellow and his brows were frowned from time to time.

It was because the wedding dress true energy in the body was too overbearing that caused the backlash, but the suffering would soon be replaced by happiness.

If one were to start practicing the "Wedding Dress Magic Skill" from scratch, even with sufficient resources, it would take several years or even more than ten years to reach 60% of the target.

However, Duan Mingfu already had a foundation. After he switched to practicing the "Wedding Dress Magical Art", in less than a month, he not only transformed the skills he had practiced for a half century into the Wedding Dress Qi, but also the progress reached 60%. He just needed to discard the skills and start over again.

It just so happened that all his skills were not wasted, so he passed them on to Yan Ming and Dongfang Que.

"You should step back first."

After Duan Mingfu sent the square-faced man away, he asked solemnly, "Xun brother, who is that?"

"They are the Seven Killers of the Black Water Abyss."

Fang Xun's face also became solemn. He told Duan Mingfu everything that happened in Yongle Grottoes and said a few words of comfort at the end.

".Don't worry too much. I was also holding back at that time. If the Seven Killers really come looking for me again, I will make sure he never comes back!"

Fang Xun's words were full of confidence. The added strength of Zhu Wusi's possession gave him enough confidence. No matter what, if he encountered the Seven Killers, it was hard to say who would win, but he would have no problem escaping unscathed.

Duan Mingfu felt a little relieved when he saw his confident expression.

"Brother Xun, come with me."

As he spoke, he led Fang Xun deeper into the mansion, and along the way he told him about the development of the Six Finger Hall in recent times.

In general, with Fang Xun as its backer, Liuzhitang entered a new round of rapid development.

Especially the shipping company that Zhao Feiyan transferred a month ago allowed Liuzhitang to start the water transport business.

The Jiangnan region has a dense network of rivers and prosperous water-based trade; canal transportation is a piece of fat meat that everyone covets, but if one wants to get involved, one needs strong strength or background.

In the past, Liuzhitang had no right to interfere in the canal transport business, but now it has Fang Xun as its backer. It is only a shipping company with three or four cargo ships, so it will not cause suppression from other parties.

".Thanks to Brother Xun, after taking over the shipping company donated by the Zhao family, our income has increased several times, so we have more resources to train new blood."

After hearing this, Fang Xun casually said, "Have you ever thought about opening a branch somewhere else?"

Duan Mingfu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he quickly said, "I do have some ideas, but I don't have any clues yet. I wonder what Brother Xun has to say?"

"It's not a brilliant idea," Fang Xun shook his head. "It's just a suggestion. Don't forget that Master is the magistrate of Sanshui County."

The expansion of the Six Fingers Hall to other places might encounter some setbacks, but there was no obstacle in opening a branch hall in Sanshui County. Besides, after the demise of the Green Fish Hall and the Li family, there was still a lot of cake left. If Fang Xun, the representative of the Six Fingers Hall, took a piece, other parties would not have any objections.

Duan Mingfu understood it as soon as he heard it, nodded and said, "I will arrange the relevant matters as soon as possible."

"Just handle it yourself"

As the two were talking, they unknowingly entered a quiet room and saw Dongfang Que and Yan Ming sitting cross-legged on the ground, adjusting their states.

Seeing Fang Xun and Duan Mingfu coming in, he quickly stood up to greet them. Fang Xun waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Let's hurry up and get down to business."

"But Xun'er, your face looks bad," Yan Ming asked worriedly.

"It's just a minor injury. Go take care of your own business first and don't worry about me."

Hearing this, Yan Ming and Dongfang Que nodded without saying anything more. They sat down cross-legged. Duan Mingfu also walked over and sat down behind them.

After regulating his breath for a moment, he placed his palms on the backs of the two men.

The next moment, Dongfang Que and Yan Ming felt a surge of fire rushing into their bodies. Although they were shocked, they did not panic and began to practice martial arts according to Fang Xun's instructions.

Suddenly, they felt a constant flow of new internal energy in their Dantian, and they actually directly transformed Duan Mingfu's fiery internal energy into their own skills.

During the operation, the blazing true Qi not only did not go out, but seemed to become even stronger. However, the two did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, they felt a warm and comfortable feeling in their bodies. The true Qi in their Dantian grew rapidly like a snowball.

Fang Xun was also sitting cross-legged on the ground, quietly adjusting his breathing to heal his injuries while observing the three people's process of passing on their skills.

As the night deepened, the entire power transmission process lasted for more than half an hour and went extremely smoothly.

Dongfang Que and Yan Ming seemed to have broken through some barrier. Their Qi suddenly surged, and the vital energy of heaven and earth rolled back from all directions, forming a hazy luck. The two of them broke through to the innate level in one go.

Duan Mingfu's sallow face turned from yellow to white, and his complexion gradually became rosy.

Suddenly, he withdrew his palm violently. Dongfang Que and Yan Ming felt that the heat transmission suddenly stopped but were not surprised. Instead, they continued to move the Qi around to consolidate their newly achieved realm.

After a while, the three of them finally finished their practice.

After opening his eyes, Duan Mingfu's face was filled with joy, although his dantian was now empty and only a little of the originally overflowing true energy remained.

But he felt better than ever before. Duan Mingfu had a hunch that if he practiced the "Wedding Dress Magic Skill" again to perfection, he would be able to break through!
However, this is not something that can be achieved in just one or two days. It requires daily diligent practice. But with sufficient resources, a breakthrough can be achieved in at most half a year!
Yan Ming and Dongfang Que, who were standing by, were also delighted as they felt the powerful force in their bodies.

When Fang Xun saw the three people open their eyes, he smiled and said, "Very good, it's done, it's time to move on to the next step."

After hearing his voice, the three of them suppressed their joy. Dongfang Que nodded and began to adjust his state quickly.

Duan Mingfu and Yan Ming stood up and left the quiet room, leaving only Fang Xun and Dongfang Que.

Fang Xun looked at the young man in front of him. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Dongfang Que became more charming after being promoted to the innate level.

Shaking his head to dispel the messy thoughts in his mind, he looked at the other party and asked, "Are you really determined to proceed directly to the butterfly metamorphosis step?"

Like "Golden Silkworm and Wedding Dress", "Heavenly Silkworm and Sunflower" combines the essence of "Golden Silkworm and Silk Rain" and "Wedding Dress Magic Skill". It does not need to be completed again like "Wedding Dress Magic Skill".

At the same time, it can also be like the second half of "Golden Silk Rain", where one is put to death and then reborn, and then destroyed and rebuilt.

It’s just that it’s hard to grasp the right timing. It all depends on personal understanding. If you don’t understand it well, you can really die if you’re not careful.

Fang Xun felt that Dongfang Que didn't need to be so anxious. It would be the same if he practiced hard for a while and started the butterfly transformation when the time was right.

Facing his consolation, Dongfang Que said firmly, "Xun'er, don't worry. In the past, the Six Yin Absolute Meridians were just a death warrant, but now they have become a great help to me.

This "Golden Silkworm Sunflower" seems to be tailor-made for my body. In just one month, I have realized some of the wonderful ways of heavenly transformation. Although I am far behind Senior Dongfang Bubai, it is more than enough to complete the butterfly transformation!"

Seeing that the other party had made up his mind, Fang Xun stopped persuading him, and suddenly a handful of silver needles appeared in his hand.

"Concentrate and calm down!"

Dongfang Que immediately closed his eyes and concentrated, then saw Fang Xun coming to his side, dancing his hands rapidly.

Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-

Silver needles were inserted into all thirty-six fatal acupoints on Dongfang Que's body.

In an instant, his aura gradually died down, his face became haggard, and his body shrank into skin and bones. He looked like a dead man.

But when Fang Xun put his hand on Dongfang Que's shoulder, he felt a new energy within the other party gradually growing stronger.

It’s like the first bit of vitality in the body after being born into the world.

Fang Xun had a blank expression on his face. While waiting quietly, he was also carefully observing the entire process of Dongfang Que's metamorphosis.

Feeling this new artistic conception, Fang Xun seemed to have some understanding.

The true energy circulated involuntarily, and the injuries in the body began to improve rapidly.
