Do not die

After repeated consideration, Meng Zhou had a definite answer in his mind.

And based on his current situation, he sorted out the order according to priority.

The first sequence of martial arts skills: Finger Sword Palm Knife, Turtle Snake Strength, and Crane Control Hand.

These are also the three martial arts skills that the former master focused on most after he became a practitioner.

The most indispensable martial arts are attack martial arts, but most of them are worthless to practitioners, because their power can only be exerted in close combat.

As for practitioners, the three most common methods, spells, magic weapons, and talismans, can attack the enemy dozens of steps away, and it is impossible to give people a chance to fight in close combat.

Finger sword and palm knife are rare attacking martial arts that are suitable for both near and far.

Melee combat with bare hands is very sharp. The ten fingers are like swords and the palms are like knives. Since the movement of the palms implies the principles of sword use, you can also use the sword in hand immediately, just like using the fingers with your arms.

What made Meng Zhou even more excited was that it had two long-range attack modes. The warrior's inner strength can be stimulated through the palms and ten fingers of both hands.

The "Sword Qi Finger" is sharp and quick, good at breaking through and breaking through the face;

The "Spinning Palm Sword" is more powerful and can attack in an arc.

Moreover, it can also be used as a stimulating skill for hidden weapons, which is enough to make up for the lack of power compared to close combat.

The original owner relied on this martial skill to have a brilliant record of killing a sixth-level Qi-training monk.

Turtle Snake Strength, defensive martial arts.

When encountering an inevitable attack, the surface of the body can be as smooth as snake skin or as hard as tortoise shell, which can disperse and weaken the damage to the maximum extent.

The Crane Controller is also known as the "All-rounder".

Condensing a powerful magic hand, it can attack, defend, dismantle and block. It can also be used to capture magic weapons from a distance.

Although the attack is not as sharp as the finger sword, palm knife, and the defense is not as professional as the turtle snake strength, it can enrich his response options and has a comprehensive application.

The second sequence of martial arts: phantom steps and dragon movement, magical walking for thousands of miles, shrinking bones and changing appearance.

The first two are both light skills, but the Magical Walking Dragon is good at dodging and moving within a small area, while the strength of the Wanli Shenxing is traveling long distances.

As the name suggests, Bone Shrinking and Disguise is a martial art that can transform bones and facial features to a great extent.

Qinggong and disguise, like offensive and defensive martial arts, are almost essential means for all warriors to travel in the world.

And these martial arts skills he carefully selected not only cover all aspects as much as possible, but they are also the most outstanding among similar martial arts skills. Either it has been improved by the original owner, or it is new wine put in old bottles by the original owner.

In addition to these six martial arts, Meng Zhou also took an elective spell.

Breath-holding technique.

Just like the meaning of disguise to warriors, as long as there are conditions, practitioners will practice a spell that hides Qi and condenses breath. This is also the most proficient one among the few spells that the original owner knows.

In order to practice this technique, when facing the crowd, his aura fluctuated up and down, and he often showed off his level one or two Qi training to others. This is why Meng Zhou dared to use his first level Qi training to act like a paper tiger. .

For gangsters like Lao San, this is nothing unusual.

After sorting out his recent goals, Meng Zhou began to slowly calm down. The magic power of Water Nourishing Art began to slowly circulate in his body, and he gradually immersed himself in the state of practice.

Those martial arts skills and spells are just "skills", and improving one's cultivation is the "Tao".

After a night of practice, Meng Zhou checked his condition.

[Name: Meng Zhou]

[Life span: 51/52 years]

[Status: Weak]

[Realm: Qi training level 1: 3/100]

[Exercise: Introduction to Water Nourishing Technique: 15/50]

[Skill: Water Diving Step Small Success: 12/40]

After one night of practice, the Water Nourishing Technique experience +10 and the realm progress +2. Meng Zhou was very satisfied with this. This had exceeded his most optimistic expectations.

"Every time the Water Nourishing Technique operates for one week, it will gain +1 experience, and every five days it will operate, the cultivation progress will increase by +1."

"The original body originally had the cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi training. Although the cultivation level is useless, the body is still the same body. Rebuilding it will naturally save a lot of effort."

To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is like a bad high school student returning to junior high school. Even if he has forgotten all the knowledge points, as long as he works hard, it will definitely take less effort to learn and be easier to understand than a real junior high school student.

After leaving the quiet room, Meng Zhou went to the kitchen.

When this small single-family courtyard was built, according to the wishes of Lao Er Lao San and others, they wanted to arrange a few helpers to take care of their daily lives, but the original owner simply refused.

None of the Baijiang Gang knew that he had mistakenly practiced the Blood Demon Kung Fu, and he didn't intend to let them know.

He pays great attention to his daily interactions with them, but there are inevitably times when he is negligent in his daily life, and he never wants to be wary of this and that in his daily life. This is also an important reason why he does not live with other gang members.

This situation is what Meng Zhou likes to see. The only trouble is that he has to do three meals a day himself.

The stove has two holes. In order to save trouble, he planned to cook one pot of rice and stew the meat and vegetables in one pot. Even if martial arts training consumes a lot of money, these two pots are enough for him to cope with the whole day.

Putting the two pots into the stove respectively, Meng Zhou sat in front of the stove adding firewood to the fire while thinking about today's practice plan.

If possible, continuing to retreat in a quiet room to practice the Water Nourishing Technique is the best way to maximize your profits.

After all, the state of cultivation is the foundation.

Unfortunately, things are not that simple.

If the human body is regarded as a treasure, cultivation is the process of digging and mining this treasure. This is not an easy task.

The body, spirit, and mental energy will be consumed. It is not the accumulation of lactic acid and mental fatigue after strenuous exercise, but it is more absolute. Meng Zhou calls it "negative energy accumulation." If it exceeds the limit and must be forced to practice, it is harmful rather than helpful.

This kind of "negative energy" accumulated in the body and mind can only be relieved and slowly recovered by stopping practice and getting enough sleep and rest.

The lower the level, the lower the tolerance in this area. This is why it is said that cultivation requires relaxation and relaxation.

A very common phenomenon can explain this. It is almost impossible for Qi practicing monks to stay in seclusion for a long time. However, monks in the realm of foundation building and elixir formation, the higher their cultivation level, the more they like to stay in seclusion for a long time. A retreat lasts for three to five months, or even three to five years is not uncommon.

Could it be that Qi Practitioners don’t want to stay in seclusion for several years at a time?

Now he can practice the Water Nourishing Technique for ten weeks at a time, which is his limit.

“I heard that spiritual tea has the effect of cleansing the body and mind and can improve the efficiency of spiritual practice.

I don’t know what the real situation is, but I will definitely try it if I have a chance in the future. "

Looking at a piece of firewood in front of him, Meng Zhou suddenly used his palm to chop it with a knife.

"Click"——

The firewood broke at the sound, but Meng Zhou shook his head dissatisfied.

Just because the texture of the broken wood is uneven, it is not as smooth as cutting it with a sharp blade.

He used his fingers as a sword and stabbed at a piece of firewood, but the firewood just made a hollow sound.

If you are good at pointing a sword, you can easily poke a hole in the wood in front of you.

Click, click, click——

Duh, duh, duh——

Then, the stove began to make these two sounds alternately.

…

noon. In the courtyard.

Meng Zhou, who was doing high leg raises seriously in the water tank, seemed to have an epiphany, and various inspirations about the water crossing steps burst into his heart.

His mastery of the Water Step has risen to a new level at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Originally, the waterline was at the middle of his calf. With this understanding, his body slowly rose up in the water, and finally stabilized at a position seven or eight centimeters above his ankle.

The speed of alternating legs has also slowed down a lot, and the frequency is about the same as walking casually.

[The Great Success of the Steps to Water: 0/80]

And this is not the biggest change in this promotion.

Meng Zhou did not stand still in the water tank, but wandered freely within the square inch of the water tank, sometimes slashing with his hands like a knife, sometimes stabbing like a sword.

His attention was almost entirely on his hands, not paying attention to the movements of his feet. However, his figure was still firmly supported by the soft water, and he did not seem to be sinking at all.

At this moment, there was no need for him to pay any attention to it. The step of crossing water in the Dacheng realm seemed to be integrated into his instinct.

And for every moment he stays on the water surface, the experience of the Great Water Step will be steadily +1.

Meng Zhou didn't pay much attention to this, and all his attention was focused on the fingers of his hands.

At the same time, he practiced finger sword, palm knife and water crossing step, which consumed more body and mana and made him tired more easily. Meng Zhou also took several breaks in the middle.

Finally, at the moment when the setting sun melted gold and the dusk clouds merged, Meng Zhou pierced his finger like a sword, and a sharp sword energy pierced from the fingertip and flew ten meters before disintegrating and disappearing.

"Finally, I'm here." Meng Zhou was overjoyed.

[Introduction to Finger Sword and Palm Knife: 1/20]

"I just said that getting started with this martial art is much more difficult than the Water Step."

The entry experience value of the water-duling step is 10, while the fingering sword and palm knife is 20. If this is used as a basis for judgment, the fingering sword and palm knife is twice as difficult as the water-duling step.

However, through experiments, it was found that the difficulty of upgrading this martial art is not higher than that of Du Shui Bu.

The experience growth method of Du Shui Step is +1 experience for every quarter of an hour of successful use.

As for the Finger Sword Palm Knife, each successful use of "Sword Qi Finger" + "Revolving Palm Knife" will gain +1 experience.

If it weren't for these two, especially the latter, which is particularly mana-hungry, he would have to stop and recover after using two rounds alternately at the first level of Qi training, which would waste too much time. If he had a steady stream of mana to back him up, Meng Zhou believed that he could reach the top in one breath.

Even so, when he finished the day's martial arts training, finished his last meal, and returned to the quiet room, the finger sword and palm knife had already advanced from the beginning to the first level.

[Advanced completion of the Water Step: 20/80, initial completion of the Finger Sword and Palm Knife: 1/40]

The second day.

When Meng Zhou finished his practice for the day and opened his personal information panel, there was a new change.

[Advanced water-stepping step: 60/80, initial achievement of finger sword and palm sword: 30/40]

The third day.

On this day, Xu Lei, the third child, brought two gang members to deliver a lot of daily necessities.

He didn't say much to him, just asked him a few casual questions and let him leave.

It was obvious that he was somewhat preoccupied when he left.

His arrival did not disrupt Meng Zhou's practice rhythm. Soon, he became addicted to practice again and could not extricate himself.

Both martial arts had a big breakthrough on this day.

Meng Zhou's mastery of the water crossing step went further, and he advanced from Dacheng to master, with the water line retreating to the ankle.

Finger swords and palm knives are also promoted from Chucheng to Xiaocheng.

[Master of Water Step: 20/160, Finger Sword and Palm Knife: 20/80]

The fourth day.

After these few days of trying, Meng Zhou became more comfortable with the two martial arts skills of crossing the water step and pointing the sword, and even had time to try more without delaying the progress of both.

Due to the relationship between time and physical fitness, the maximum daily experience of Du Shui Bu is +40.

Because of the relationship between physical strength and mana, the maximum daily experience of finger sword and palm sword is +30.

But this is not the limit of his energy.

During meals and breaks, he even had time to ponder the various energy-moving techniques of Guishen Jin, and successfully completed the introduction to Guishen Jin before entering the quiet room to practice.

[Master of Water Step: 60/160, Finger Sword and Palm Knife Skill: 50/80, Introduction to Turtle and Snake Power: 1/20]

The fifth day.

The experience of Du Shui Bu increases normally, the Finger Sword and Palm Knife is promoted from a minor level to a Dacheng level, and the Turtle Snake Strength also grows to a certain extent between the training of the first two martial arts.

[Master of Water Step: 100/160, Master of Finger Sword and Palm Knife: 1/160, Beginner of Turtle and Snake Power: 10/20]

And just this night, after the magic power of Water Nourishing Technique had been fully operating in the body for five weeks, a strange feeling filled my heart.

At this moment, he felt as if his entire body and even his mind were immersed in warm waters.

Warmth, comfort and peace of mind.

He felt that his body was light and his spirit was lazy, as if his soul was turning into a stream of water.

When this feeling slowly subsided and his body and mind returned to reality, Meng Zhou felt obvious changes.

The entry-level water nourishing technique has broken through to the first-level level, and finally no longer lingers at the door, and has a preliminary grasp of this technique.

The most surprising change to Meng Zhou is that the upper limit of life is +1, and the life span has changed from [51/52 years] to [51/53 years].

Although his physical condition was still "weak", Meng Zhou could clearly feel that his condition at this moment was significantly better than before this breakthrough.

Another small change worthy of surprise is that the negative energy accumulated in the body after just five weeks of practice has been directly cleared, and it has returned to feeling refreshed and refreshed.

Of course he would not waste such an opportunity, and soon he was immersed in cultivation again.

The next day, when Meng Zhou finished his training, he checked his personal information again, which had changed drastically.

[Name: Meng Zhou]

[Life span: 51/53 years] (+1 year)

[Status: Weak]

[Realm: Qi training level 1: 16/100]

[Skill: Water Nourishing Technique Initial Completion: 12/100]

[Skills: Water Step Master: 100/160, Finger Sword and Palm Knife Master: 1/160, Turtle Snake Strength Beginner: 10/20]

"Water Nourishing Technique is worthy of being a skill known for nourishing and healing. Its improvement has also improved the tolerance to practice.

Originally, you could only practice ten Zhoutians at a time, but now you can practice twelve Zhoutians. "

"When the Water Nourishing Technique was first broken through, the cultivation progress was still 10/100, and the progress was +1 every five weeks.

The initial water-nurturing formula runs for twelve weeks, and the progress is +6 directly. Every two weeks, the progress is +1, and the efficiency is more than doubled. "

Recalling the state of this body when it just passed through, and then comparing it with the current state, not to mention the difference between cloud and mud, it is also a judgment of superiority.

The kind of growth that is visible to the naked eye at all times, every breakthrough in the growth of martial arts, will give him positive feedback from body to mind.

Such a wonderful experience made Meng Zhou unable to stop.

The moment he walked out of the quiet room, Meng Zhou was already looking forward to a new day of growth.

At this moment, Meng Zhou's ears twitched, and he heard a series of footsteps outside the courtyard.

Then there was a knock on the door and an unfamiliar voice.

Meng Zhou's heart moved, and he already knew who the person shouting outside the hospital was.

"Second child" Li Heng.

Today is another day for the Baijiang Gang to patrol the river.
