Original God, the beginning continues Liyue martial arts

Thinking of this, Shen Zhiyi practiced Tai Chi again.

When this martial art was upgraded to level 4, some of Shen Zhiyi's movement details during the practice were corrected.

But even if he practiced according to the instructions, he still only achieved perfect results, but did not reach perfection.

If it weren't for the nutrient-rich buff, experience wouldn't be gained from level 4 Tai Chi!

The calm aura was somewhat beyond Shen Zhiyi's expectations.

During the practice, wisps of misty internal breath were generated in his limbs and bones. After the practice was over, the misty internal breath followed a certain route into his lower abdomen. Finally, it was completely absorbed by the seed of tranquility that stayed there, and transformed into more tranquility.

【Calmness +8.】

"!!!"

Shen Zhiyi realized something and quickly performed Tai Chi again.

This time, he did not pursue perfection, but tried to slow down as much as possible.

then……

He successfully recorded an internal breath flow route that passed through the lower abdomen, thorax, shoulders, upper outer arm, elbow depression, center of forearm, index finger knuckle on the back of the hand, and finally stopped under the index finger nail.

Shen Zhiyi calmed his thoughts and then mobilized his internal energy along this route.

Unlike the previous attempts, this time, the quiet energy that left the lower abdomen found its circulation route very easily. In just two seconds, it reached Shen Zhiyi's right index finger.

Then, there was a "pop" sound.

A slightly transparent white line of mist shot out from the fingertips, and after touching the stone bricks on the ground, it left a faint mark on its surface.

Shen Zhiyi squatted down and touched the dent on the stone brick, which was almost the same as before.

"It doesn't look like the power of the tranquility is that great if I just shoot it out directly. But what if I gather the tranquility at the end of the line and then attack with my fingers? What will the effect be?"

Do it as soon as you think of it. Shen Zhiyi immediately repeated the operation.

However, when he reached the last step, he made a slight change and used his mind to keep the energy of tranquility at the tip of his index finger. He neither shot it out nor let it retreat into his lower abdomen.

He took a deep breath, and then gently extended his right hand towards the stone bricks.

Soon, the fingertips touched the target.

In order to confirm his fighting ability, Shen Zhiyi had actually tried operations such as splitting bricks and kicking wooden boards.

His current physical fitness is nearly twice that of an ordinary adult man in his previous life. To be honest, it is not difficult for him to perform similar operations.

But at this moment, Shen Zhiyi showed a surprised expression.

The feeling transmitted back from his index finger told him that he seemed to have touched a piece of gravel. Although it was not as soft as sand, he could crush it with a little force.

Then, Shen Zhiyi's finger really left a half-centimeter-deep hole on the stone brick.

Seeing this scene, Shen Zhiyi fell silent.

After a long while, he finally murmured, "Is this the extraordinary power?"

The total amount of tranquility he possessed now was not much, and could only barely cover one index finger, and it did not last long. Even so, the power it displayed had already exceeded Shen Zhiyi's expectations.

"If I can cover my entire palm, arm, or even my entire body with the energy of tranquility, then can I touch some of the holders of the Eye of God?"

Shen Zhiyi enjoyed that future for a while, and then quickly retracted his thoughts.

Ideals are full of hope, but reality is very skinny.

In order to achieve your goal, in addition to increasing the total amount of tranquility in your body, you also need to figure out as much as possible about the routes of the tranquility.

The former only needs to follow the procedures and continue to practice martial arts, then he doesn't need to consider anything until his tranquility reaches level 5.

But the latter...

Shen Zhiyi performed Tai Chi several more times.

It was finally determined that this martial art only contained two arm routes and one leg route.

The situation of basic Changquan is even worse than that of Tai Chi, with only two arm routes in total.

Moreover, these two revelations roughly coincide with the running routes of Tai Chi, with only slight differences in some details.

"I need more martial arts to expand the routes of my tranquility."

Having said that, Shen Zhiyi did not start learning new martial arts immediately.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is Master Feng's registered disciple after all. Even if he really wants to learn martial arts, he should start from Master Feng.

It just so happened that the Feng family was in the vortex of Liyue's political power change during this period. Unless Shen Zhiyi's brain was stuck in the door, he would only choose to stay away from this fire pit as much as possible.

The cultivation of tranquility is not difficult.

It only took one day for his level to break through to level 2.

[Strength +0.1, Constitution +0.1, Agility +0.1, Spirit +0.2, Perception +0.2, Charm +0.1]

Seven days later, the third round of elemental tempering ended, and all attributes except charm increased by 0.3.

Thirteen days later, the energy of tranquility broke through to level 3.

【力量+0.2（2.6），体质+0.2（2.5），敏捷+0.2（4.6），精神+0.4（3.1），感知+0.4（2.3），魅力+0.2（1.6）。】

The level 3 tranquility energy, combined with the movement routes of the two arms mastered by Shen Zhiyi, can already cover almost all of his palms and most of his forearms.

In this blessed state, he could easily crush the bricks on the ground, and when the knife scratched across his palm or forearm, it could only leave a faint white mark on the surface.

"Come to think of it, it's been almost two months, right? The Feng family hasn't resolved the matter yet?"

One morning, when Shen Zhiyi was packing up his stall, he looked at the Feng family residence across the street, whose gates were still tightly closed, and couldn't help but mutter this to himself.

According to his estimation, with the connections Feng Yan inherited from Master Feng, he should be able to find out the identity of the "Sumeru student" in more than a month.

Or did some accident happen in the meantime that I am not aware of?

Although he was curious, Shen Zhiyi did not intend to explore it.

As I said, his first goal is to improve himself. As for other things, as long as they do not involve himself, they are not important.

However, two days later, Shen Zhiyi received an invitation letter.

The writer...

It’s Ningguang.

011 Personally Taught by Fengfu

[Tomorrow evening at 5 p.m., I will host a banquet at Xinyue Pavilion. I will be waiting for your presence then - Ningguang.]

There wasn't much information on the invitation, but just the two words "Ningguang" were enough to make Shen Zhiyi extremely alert.

In just a few years, she was able to rise from a mere fish-selling girl to one of the top businessmen in Liyue, and might even be able to ascend to the throne of Tianquan Star in the future.

It is conceivable how intelligent Ningguang is.

Shen Zhiyi doesn't think he is a wise man. If possible, he is actually not willing to deal with people like Ningguang - although, when he first came to Teyvat, he did consider joining the other party.

Under normal circumstances, there would be no intersection between me and such people.

But now, the other party not only knows me, but also sent me an invitation letter.

"Is it because of Beidou? Or... Fengyan?"

Because he had played the game, Shen Zhiyi knew clearly that the future Beidou and its subordinate "Southern Cross", although claiming to be an independent fleet, actually had a lot of Ningguang's handiwork behind it.

As for when these two people hooked up.

Shen Zhiyi thought, maybe, it happened recently.

If you want to buy a ship in Liyue, even if it is second-hand, you need to work at the dock for six or seven years without eating or drinking.

According to the information obtained from chatting with Beidou, this girl has only been in Liyue Harbor for a little over two years.

Even if you are born with supernatural powers, the daily salary you can get is much higher than others.

But that short period of time was not enough for her to fulfill her wish.

Therefore, although we don’t know what happened in between, Beidou should have most likely accepted Ningguang’s Mora funding.

Businessmen like Ningguang will definitely conduct a lot of investigations before investing in a business. After the investment is completed, they will most likely continue to follow up and not miss any details.

As time went by, Beidou and I became friends, and from time to time, the other party would come to us, and the information would inevitably appear in front of Ningguang.

If that were all, Shen Zhiyi wouldn't actually be worried.

The identity he revealed to the outside world was just a small vendor whose parents had both passed away and who earned hard-earned money to support himself every day.

There aren't many similar beings in Liyue, but they are not rare either.

but……

Ningguang wanted to meet him, and she sent him a formal invitation.

This made Shen Zhiyi think more.

The only possible intersection between him and Ningguang, apart from the Beidou line, is the Feng family, or in other words, the successor of Tianquan Star.

Obviously, in the past month or so, something must have happened in the upper echelons of Liyue that he was not aware of.

It is for this reason that the Feng family, who is neither better than the best nor worse than the worst, comes into Ningguang's sight.

As Shen Zhiyi was thinking, he pressed his brows irritably.

He hates trouble, but as long as he is alive, trouble will find him.

"So, was my information leaked by Feng Yan? Or did Ningguang find it herself?" Shen Zhiyi continued to reason, "No, Feng Yan would not do that. It's not because of his personality, but if he tells others about my affairs, the credit that originally belonged to him alone will be shared by me."

"Moreover, if he really revealed my existence to the higher-ups, then the one who came looking for me now would not be Ningguang, but Qixingbamen."

"So, it was Ningguang who discovered my existence through her investigation of Fengyan? But why did she do that?"

"...Well, what other reason could there be? Feng Yan must have found some information from that 'Sumeru Student' that could change the current situation in Liyue."

"Given Ningguang's personality, it's impossible for her not to investigate the source and specific details of the intelligence."

"If this is true, then the other party came to me for two reasons: one is to test my background, and the other is to get in touch with the Feng family through me."

That night, Shen Zhiyi thought a lot. He listed as many situations as possible that he could consider and then rehearsed them one by one.

However, when he arrived at Xinyuexuan half an hour early the next day, he suddenly found that he was not the only guest invited by Ningguang.

Inside the private room, Master Feng, Feng Yan, and three of Master Feng's direct disciples were sitting at the dining table, whispering to each other.

Seeing this scene, Shen Zhiyi's expression remained unchanged, but he felt relieved in his heart.

It seems that this dinner party is not as complicated as he thought. Ningguang’s main purpose is to recruit the Feng family.

As for the appearance of himself and three other direct disciples, it was probably just to fill the number of both sides.

Thinking of this, he walked forward, bowed to everyone and said, "Master, fellow brothers."

"Junior Brother Zhiyi." x3

When they saw Shen Zhiyi appear, a look of surprise flashed across the faces of the three disciples, but then they all stood up and clasped their fists to their junior brother.

Compared to the three people who just went through the formalities, Master Feng and Feng Yan seemed much more intimate.

"Zhiyi, come here and sit here." Master Feng said as he motioned Shen Zhiyi to sit on his right.

Feng Yan was sitting on his left. When he saw him sit down, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"If you don't show up again, I'm thinking of going there in person to invite you over."

"How can this be done?" Shen Zhiyi quickly picked up the teacup in front of him and looked at everyone present. "Zhiyi arrived a little late, so I will use tea instead of wine to toast you all."

After saying that, he drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

"That's great!" Feng Yan laughed loudly, "It's a pity that we have to discuss something later and can't drink, otherwise I would definitely get drunk with you tonight."

Master Feng smiled faintly and took a sip of tea.

As for the three direct disciples, they noticed something from Master Feng and Feng Yan's behavior just now, so they also picked up the teacups and drank a little symbolically.

After putting down the teacup, Shen Zhiyi looked at Feng Yan and said, "I have been reluctant to see you these days, Senior Brother. Do you know what happened?"

"It's over, and we caught a big fish." Because it involved the upper class and this was a public place, Feng Yan did not elaborate on the topic and just mentioned it briefly.
