Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 8 Liang Family Incident
"According to what Li Ying said before, the five realms of martial arts are skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and marrow."

"After refining the skin, it's time to refine the flesh."

If the biggest characteristic of the First Refining Skin Realm is that the skin is tough, like iron.

Then the greatest characteristic of the second level of flesh-refining realm is the increase of strength, the force of a thousand pounds.

When the second martial artist goes to the battlefield, he will be a brave and unparalleled general in the army.

"The Eagle Claw Technique I got from the Black Mountain Martial Arts School is only a second-level martial art. If I rely solely on this technique, even if I practice it to death, I can only break through the second level."

"Fortunately, the secret medicine of Five Elements Bone Strengthening Soup is a fourth-level secret medicine, and Brother Li Ying was able to use it to improve to the third-level level."

“I think even after I break through to the first level, it will still be effective.”

"You still can't stop taking this medicine."

Ji Chang shook his head, calmed his mind, and hid in the house to practice Eagle Claw Kung Fu.

Even though this Eagle Claw Kung Fu is a common skill, at least it has offensive means, which is much better than Ji Chang not practicing anything.

As for why he practiced martial arts in a small space of the house, it was because he was worried about attracting the attention of the neighbors.

Although there is a small yard outside Ji Chang's dilapidated house, it is surrounded by a low fence woven with bamboo.

It can't block any view or hide any secrets at all.

After finishing his martial arts training, Ji Chang concentrated and took a look at the situation on Li Gui's side.

At this time, Li Gui was lying in a wooden barrel taking a medicinal bath.

The surroundings were filled with steam, and only his father Li Ying was guarding the place.

Ji Chang glanced at Li Gui's body soaking in the medicinal bath and made some guesses based on his experience.

"This Li Gui will be able to successfully refine his skin in three to five days at most and break through to the first level of refinement."

Ji Chang felt a resentment towards Li Gui.

He had not forgotten that more than half a year ago, the Black Mountain Gang had reduced the purchase price by 10% in the name of collecting congratulatory money from its young leader Li Gui for his marriage.

So far there has been no sign of recovery. It seems that the purchase price will be this in the future. It can only be lower, not higher.

If the purchase price had not been lowered, Ji Chang would have been able to enter the leather refining realm at least half a month earlier.

What's more, the Black Mountain Gang makes a living by buying low and selling high, and exploiting hunters like them. Do they really expect Ji Chang to be grateful to them?

Wouldn't that mean he's begging on his knees?

Just as Ji Chang was about to look away, suddenly, a huge change occurred in the picture.

Ji Chang was startled, and then looked at the picture in his mind.

In the picture, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the room where Li Gui took a medicinal bath.

"Master, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened."

A deep voice came from outside the room.

Li Ying's expression changed slightly, and some suspicion appeared in his eyes.

Li Gui, who was lying in the wooden barrel, also looked panicked and was ready to get up and leave.

Li Ying first raised his hand and pressed Li Gui to tell him not to get anxious.

Then, without opening the door, he just asked through the door to the outside.

"What happened?"

"How unbecoming is it to be in such a hurry!"

Li Ying's face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Master, my uncle is here. Something happened at the Liang family."

The voice coming from outside carried a hint of anxiety.

Li Gui, who was lying in the barrel, heard that something happened to the Liang family. He immediately thought of his own situation and became panicked.

He ignored his father Li Ying's obstruction, got out of the bucket directly, wiped his body roughly, and prepared to put on his clothes.

Li Ying didn't stop him this time.

He first reached out and took away the medicinal herbs placed aside.

Then, he took out a packet of medicine powder from his arms and sprinkled it into the bucket that Li Gui had just come out of.

Instantly, the liquid medicine in the bucket changed color. At this time, Li Ying looked at Li Gui who had already put on his clothes and winked at him.

Li Gui may have understood what his father meant, or he may have panicked after hearing that something happened to the Liang family.

He walked up and kicked the door open, ran out in panic, and grabbed the arm of the middle-aged man in a white coat standing outside the house.

"Big Brother, what happened to the Liang family?"

The middle-aged man whom Li Gui called the eldest brother felt the strength from Li Gui's hand and his eyes changed slightly.

He looked at Li Gui hesitantly, then lowered his head and said, "This...this matter...I can't explain it clearly."

Li Ying had just walked out of the house at this time. When he heard his words, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

In his opinion, the Liang family is a wealthy and powerful family in Heishan County. They have been prosperous for more than a hundred years, and there have been masters of the third level of refinement in every generation of the family.

It is said that there is the figure of a legendary immortal behind it.

It is impossible for anything to happen to such a powerful family.

What his apprentice just said was probably that there was a problem in the marriage between the Liang family and his son.

It is highly likely that the Liang family wants to cancel the engagement.

And this might be the reason why his disciple hesitated and refused to explain in detail to his son.

"Gui'er, let him go."

"Go to the front yard and ask your uncle."

After hearing his father's words, Li Gui let go of his senior brother's hand and ran towards the front yard.

Li Ying strode forward and followed behind his son.

The eldest brother let out a sigh of relief and touched the arm that Li Gui had just grabbed.

His eyes involuntarily looked towards the house on the side.

However, Li Ying's voice came from the front.

"Li Wu, you come along too."

Li Wu was slightly startled when he heard this, then nodded and followed closely.

"Are you going to cancel the engagement?"

Ji Chang looked at Li Gui’s hurried steps in the picture and couldn’t help but think in his heart.

He had no sympathy for Li Gui.

It is impossible that he, a hunter who has been exploited by the Black Mountain Gang, would not feel sorry for himself, but instead sympathize with the young master of the Black Mountain Gang who is living a life of luxury.

If Li Gui was really broken off from engagement, he would actually applaud.

In the picture, Li Gui has already walked into the reception room of Black Mountain Martial Arts School.

In the reception room, Li Hu, the leader of the Black Mountain Gang, who was dressed like a Confucian scholar, had a worried look on his face.

The teacup in his hand didn't move at all.

"Uncle, uncle, what happened to the Liang family?"

Li Gui seemed to have noticed something. He knelt in front of Li Hu, grabbed Li Hu's legs, and asked with a sad face.

But Li Hu did not look at his favorite nephew, but looked at his younger brother who walked into the house at this time.

"Brother, is the Liang family going to cancel the engagement?"

Li Ying, with disheveled hair, asked anxiously at this time.

After hearing this, Li Gui, who was kneeling on the ground, looked even more sad.

He stared closely at his uncle's face.

But Li Hu shook his head at this time.

A look of joy appeared on Li Gui's face.

It’s not that I have to call off the engagement. It’s not that I have to call off the engagement.

The next moment, Li Hu's words made all the joy on Li Gui's face disappear.
