Chapter 199: Progress bit by bit

Chapter 199: Progress bit by bit

The morning light breaks and smoke rises.

Life in Gaoliu County is peaceful and regular. Most people work from sunrise to sunset and are not bothered by the big or small things in the world.

Only in teahouses and taverns can one smell a slight underworld atmosphere.

Fang Baoluo was gone for more than half a month. Li Yuan remained calm. Apart from occasionally going to the backyard of the blacksmith shop to ask Wang Wenyuan for advice on some matters, he spent most of his time practicing martial arts and reading.

Before the migration of Shenbing Valley, he borrowed a large number of books. He read two books a day, which was enough for him to read for a year or so.

"call!"

"Suck!"

There was a gentle morning breeze in the small courtyard.

Li Yuanxu pushed his body forward, and the heavy hammer in his hand seemed to be nothing, rising and falling from time to time, which was quite smooth and natural.

call!
He swung his arms and the long hammer broke through the air, just like an old elephant raising its head and neighing to the sky. He stomped his feet and swung his trunk. A hurricane suddenly arose in the courtyard, making the old trees rustle.

The ancient elephant six-shaped hammer is inspired by the elephant. The hammer moves violently and the punch is like an old elephant shaking its trunk. It emphasizes free and easy swings, continuous chains, and layer-by-layer power accumulation.

"The Ancient Elephant Six-Shaped Hammer has been fully developed!"

Li Yuan slowly stopped, his eyes were extremely bright, as if flames were burning, his energy was extremely strong and it showed in his eyes.

With the combined blessing of various hammer-killing talents, his various martial arts, especially hammer-killing, have made great progress.

Not only has the Bingdao Fighting and Killing Hammer reached perfection, but the Ancient Elephant Six-Shaped Hammer that he used from time to time has also reached perfection.

boom!
The heavy hammer fell to the ground, and Li Yuan pushed his fist with his bare hands. His feet rose and fell, his fists and palms changed, and his body moved. Bears, tigers, apes, leopards... were all among them.

The movements are not fast, but they have all the forms.

More than a year ago in the bamboo forest of Hammer Soldiers Hall, Han Chuijun had demonstrated a boxing technique that combined all forms into one, and now Li Yuan could also perform it.

Although the movements of the two are different due to the different shapes being replaced, the taste of the unity of all shapes is the same.

"call!"

After a while, Li Yuan slowly stopped.

His physique is no longer that of a human being. Even after such intense exercise, only a thin layer of sweat appears on his forehead.

"It's time to eat!"

In the front yard, Li Lin was shouting, but it was already noon.

Li Yuan responded and went to the front yard to eat. He chatted with his brother and sister-in-law for a while, teased the two little guys, and then returned to continue practicing martial arts.

He has been doing this every day for the past ten days. Except for necessary outings, he has been completely immersed in martial arts practice.

After changing his form, his physical strength increased every day, and he was immersed in this state and couldn't extricate himself.

In this way, it was soon dark.

Li Yuan accompanied his brother and sister-in-law for dinner, then returned to his room as usual, mastered the basic diagram of the Spirit Fox Sword Technique, and continued to improve his physique.

"call!"

Late at night, Li Yuan wiped the sweat off his body, changed his clothes, then leaned against the head of the bed and began to read a book.

"The method of worshipping God and visualizing."

This was borrowed by Li Yuan from Wang Wen from afar.

This time when he returned to Gaoliu, thanks to the recognition of his talents and physique, the books that Li Yuan borrowed from Wang Wenyuan were also very different.

Visualization is not uncommon, but a systematic visualization method without any hidden dangers is very rare.

This is the best visualization method combined with the correct way of worshiping gods. It is easy to learn but difficult to master, but it is safe.

"Neutral and peaceful, um, you can try it."

After reading it several times, Li Yuan closed his eyes and meditated. He closed his eyes tightly and mobilized his senses.

The first step to learn visualization is to mobilize your own perception. This step alone can dissuade most warriors.

Even Li Yuan could only take this step easily with the help of the 'Five-Step Spirit Snake Belt' and the 'Spirit Fire Bull Bone Ring'.

"Om~"

Li Yuan concentrated highly, sketching out the picture in his mind according to the records in the visualization method.

The second step in learning visualization is to mobilize your senses and outline various shapes in your mind.

"It's a bit like painting, but without hands..."

Li Yuan has tried it many times, but he always finds it very difficult to draw the pattern, mainly because he has too many thoughts and all sorts of distractions, so the pattern instantly becomes distorted.

But what he had the most was patience. He failed again and again, and continued again and again. After an unknown amount of time, his spirit finally calmed down.

Gradually, he was able to draw some simple graphics.

"I can only draw the outline, it won't be too subtle..."

Li Yuan's forehead was covered with sweat. He opened his eyes and took a break for a while, waiting for his spirit to recover before continuing.

again and again……

After a long time, he felt that he was familiar with the process and began to outline his own figure in his mind.

The third step of the worship and visualization method is to visualize your own body in your mind.

It is difficult for people to have a clear understanding of themselves, so this step is not easy. In comparison, those hideous and ferocious statues are easier to outline because they leave a deep impression.

“It’s a lot of effort…”

Li Yuan tried very hard, and he had a fairly good understanding of himself. However, after many attempts, he could only visualize a stick figure in his mind.

There are limbs and a torso, but there are only limbs and a torso...

“It’s good to see progress.”

Li Yuan opened his eyes, his face covered with sweat. This visualization was much more difficult than fighting.

However, although he only visualized a stick figure, it had complete hands and feet, which was a huge improvement for him.

"The visualization method can also be applied to the transformation of internal energy into form. Control the internal energy and outline your own form..."

Li Yuan rubbed his temples, his eyes bright.

The strength reaches one foot, the Qi flows three meters, and the internal Qi leaves the body. It is a sign of unblocked meridians and also a sign of a first-class master in the world.

Just like back then, Su Wanxiong was ten feet away from the air, and his energy transformed into a shape, penetrating several feet without dissipating. This not only requires a strong internal energy, but also requires meticulous control of the internal energy. The further the true energy transforms into a shape, the more terrifying it is.

Using true Qi to create a barrier outside the body that can resist swords and isolate water and fire is terrifying enough.

As for those top masters in the legend, their true Qi can leave their body and transform into a human form several miles or even dozens of miles away, and they can kill people suddenly. This is already a myth.

“Visualization is crucial.”

Recalling Wang Wenyuan's words, Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and continued to try to visualize himself.

Gradually, the stick figure in his mind became clearer and clearer, and he could even see his hands and feet shaking slightly.

But he only moved a little, and Li Yuan was already sweating profusely. He had the illusion that he was forcibly moving his hands and feet that had been paralyzed for many years.

"The spirit is not strong enough."

Li Yuan wiped the sweat off his face. After trying for a while, he felt so exhausted that he couldn't even open his eyes.

Fell into a deep sleep.

……

A few days passed like this before Fang Baoluo hurried back.

"A sect call?"

In the courtyard, Li Yuan slowly stopped, somewhat surprised: "The situation is so tense, why are you still summoning disciples?"

"Ever since the news that Xuanbing had an owner spread, many people have been hunting us down."

Fang Baoluo's face looked grim: "We must gather together, otherwise we will be defeated one by one..."

"Is this what the old...master meant?"

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

There are thousands of disciples in the Divine Weapon Valley scattered in different places, so it is not easy to hunt them down. But if they gather together, they will become a much larger target.

"That's what the master meant."

Fang Baoluo's face was heavy: "Many important roads leading to Dechang Mansion have been blocked. Ordinary disciples can't leave Zhelong Mansion at all."

"Is that so?"

Li Yuan nodded.

"Brother, pack up now. I will go and gather the disciples from the nearby counties and we will reunite later."

Fang Baoluo came and went in a hurry, without even drinking a glass of water, and left in a hurry while it was still dark.

"Well, it's time to go."

Li Yuan was already prepared and had nothing to pack. He just took a long sleep and then found the little mouse.

Only then did he go to say goodbye to his brother and sister-in-law.

……

"Monkey, monkey, monkey! How many times have I told you, monkey!"

In the early morning, at the practice field of the Weapon Forging Shop, Fatty Sun pointed at the monkey scratching its head on the tree and scolded the apprentices:
"The monkey is right here, can't you take a look?"

In the martial arts arena, dozens of apprentices stood on the white ape stakes, staring at the monkeys on the tree without blinking.

"Relax your body and tense your mind. When you can stand like a monkey, you will be considered to have mastered the White Ape Stake!"

Fatty Sun moved among the crowd, correcting the movements of the apprentices, and soon he was sweating from exhaustion.

"That's stupid!"

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Fatty Sun shook his head and said, "We are all human beings, why is there such a big difference?"

He muttered a few words quietly, and seeing that the apprentices were staggering, he waved his hand helplessly and asked them to disperse.

"Stinky boy."

Listening to the undisguised cheers, Fatty Sun cursed with a smile, then slowly started turning around.

As the third shopkeeper of the weapon forging shop, he no longer has to swing the big spoon. Apart from instructing apprentices and looking at the account books, he just wanders around every day.

when!
Dang Dang!

In the forging room, the sound of blacksmithing could be heard.

Fatty Sun was walking around with a teapot in his hand. Before he even entered the door, he heard Zhang Ben's loud and powerful voice.

"Iron is dead, are you dead too? How stupid! How stupid!"

Fatty Sun shrank his neck and was about to leave when he was dragged into the forging room.

"You're just being so unruly every day!"

Zhang Ben blew his beard and glared, his anger was raging: "This batch of weapons is needed urgently, you can also come and help!"

"what?"

Fatty Sun was a little dumbfounded: "No, no, Mr. Zhang, I, I don't know how to do it either?"

"What's so difficult about forging iron?"

Zhang Ben did not allow him to refuse and stuffed a forging hammer into his hand, forcing Sun to do something. Fatty Sun had a bitter face but still went on to forge iron.

He has already developed the power of a white ape and his hammer skills are not bad either, so forging iron is naturally a piece of cake for him. But this is a hard job, how can he endure it?
After a while, he was already complaining bitterly.

"That's so stupid."

Looking at the newly recruited blacksmiths in the forge, Zhang Ben shook his head. He knew that this was the normal level of blacksmithing.

But after seeing how fast Li Yuan improved, the gap in training them would be too big.

"That boy..."

Thinking of Li Yuan, Zhang Ben felt worried again. He had also heard the news that the entire clan of Shenbing Valley had relocated.

"Big shopkeeper!"

At this time, a disciple came hurriedly, holding a knife and a sword.

"This is?"

Zhang Ben was startled, and quickly reached out to take it. He carefully stroked the familiar texture on the sword, muttering to himself:
"Famous weapon... this kid really hits it out."
