Chapter 247: Slow Training in Dragon Mountain
Chapter 247: Slow Training in Dragon Mountain
The sky is clear and cloudless.
In the small courtyard, Li Yuan was standing in stances holding a hammer, moving from the White Ape Stance, the Tiger Roaring Stance to the Soldier Body Stance, neither fast nor slow, his movements flowing like flowing water, and all of his stance exercises had reached the level of great perfection.
After his qi and blood circulation became active, Li Yuan turned his body and moved into the 'Dragon Zen Vajra Posture'.
Only a few 'crackling' sounds were heard, and the waist and arms were suddenly twisted into a pretzel shape, which looked horrifying.
There are only sixteen forms of Long Chan Vajra Posture, and each form has sixteen variations. Compared with the military posture, it seems very simple, but in fact each variation is extremely complex and inhumane.
“This achievement…”
With only one change, Li Yuan's mouth twitched involuntarily despite his current physical condition.
This Dragon Zen Posture is more perverted than those perverted yoga postures in previous lives. Not only is it extremely difficult and dangerous to get started, it is also very painful.
After only maintaining it for a short while, Li Yuan felt hot all over. After barely turning six or seven positions, he was sweating profusely and had consumed a lot of physical energy.
"it is good!"
Feeling the benefits, Li Yuan's eyes lit up. Compared with the pain of changing his bones, the pain of this exercise was nothing.
With a handful of pills provided by Gong Yangyu, he was not afraid of depleting his physical strength, but was only afraid of consuming it too slowly.
"call!"
After a long time, Li Yuan's eyelids moved, and footsteps were heard outside the door. Liu Zheng knocked on the door gently, and after getting a response, he pushed the door open carefully.
But Li Yuan was seen with his head down and his feet up, his arms passing under his ribs like two snakes, crossed with his legs, but wrapped around his neck. His posture was as weird as it could be.
After just one look, Liu Zheng couldn't help but gasp. How painful must this be?
"Click~"
Li Yuan slowly stopped his movement, his muscles and bones made crackling sounds, and sweat broke out all over his body, soaking his clothes.
"Brother Li, is this the Dragon Zen Diamond Sutra?"
Liu Zheng was amazed and exclaimed, this unique skill was indeed a unique skill, he was afraid that he could kill himself with just this set of moves.
"Yes, Dragon Zen Posture."
Li Yuan let out a long breath, which was as condensed as an air arrow and blew onto the courtyard wall, making a "pa pa" sound, like a huge wave hitting the shore.
'Brother Li's martial arts skills are getting better and better.'
Liu Zheng lowered his head slightly.
In the past few years, he had seen Li Yuan every now and then. Although he knew that his martial arts skills were getting better and better, he had never thought about it carefully.
Seeing him exhale at this moment, he was suddenly shocked to realize that this young man who was only sitting at the last seat when he first met him, had already reached a level of martial arts that he could not even fathom.
"How's it going?"
Li Yuan tore off his coat and poured two buckets of cold water over his head to wash away the sweat. With his current physical condition, he would not catch a cold even if he soaked in ice water all night.
"Well, that Captain Lin was very polite. He told you that if you want to go, you can go to the outer helm of Chungang anytime to find a furnace to start working. You can also buy all kinds of gold and iron at the prices in the helm. But he didn't agree to let you join the helm."
Liu Zheng calmed down and reported: "He said..."
It is not easy to live in Longhuju. Although he has the support of Shenbing Valley, Li Yuan does not want to live off the resources. With his attainments in weapon making, it will not be difficult for him to make money if he wants to.
only……
"Without the arrangement of the hall master, you dare not respond to me without authorization?"
"Yes."
Liu Zheng nodded.
“It’s the same excuse.”
Li Yuan shook his head slightly.
Zhanlu's fate was naturally good, as it prevented him from being randomly assigned to various helms like Yue Chongtian, Lin Dongping and others, but it also made the various helms dare not take the initiative to accept him.
He estimated that the hall master might not even make arrangements for him, and he might have to wait until the Taoist master of Dragon and Tiger, the Grand Master of the Divine List, Long Yingchan, returned to the mountain to meet him.
The previous Taoist Long Xinglie, who received the power from the ancestor's will, joined the sect through this process.
Maybe, it would be okay for the cheap master to come out?
"It won't have much of an impact in Dao City. In a few days, the weapon forging shop will be open."
Liu Zheng reported.
After joining the sect, although he had not yet decided on a place to go, Monk Dou Yue still provided him with all the benefits for inner disciples.
In addition to the courtyard of his choice, elixirs, weapons, etc., there is also a house in a prime location in Daocheng and two shops. This is not the treatment that ordinary inner disciples can get.
After all, there are thousands of inner disciples in every generation of Longhu Temple. If everyone had this treatment, there would not be enough space in Daocheng after more than two thousand years.
"You can open a few more shops. In addition to weapon forging, you can also open leather, armor forging, clothing, and boot making."
Li Yuan put on a coat and invited Liu Zheng to sit on the stone bench under the tree:
"As for materials such as the skins and bones of spiritual beasts, take them if you have them. Don't be afraid of losing money."
Hengshan City is a central place that not only gathers various specialties from various prefectures, but also things from other provinces. Although the prices are expensive, he has really found a lot of good things these days.
Although there are no famous-grade boots on the market, there are plenty of top-grade leather and spiritual beast bones and blood. With his current attainments in weapon forging, the materials are sufficient and he can forge himself weapons of top-grade famous-grade and lower grades.
"……Yes."
Liu Zheng nodded.
He has one good thing: no matter how much he doesn't understand, he won't ask questions and will just do his job with peace of mind.
Li Yuan was quite confident in him. Of course, he also told him not to forget to practice martial arts. All disciples in Longhu Temple, whether inner or outer sect disciples or menial disciples, were subject to assessment.
"Practicing martial arts..."
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly.
His talent is really average. Even with Li Yuan's guidance and no shortage of elixirs, he has only just completed the process of tempering his body. It will take at least one or two years for him to become an internal strong man. Even seven or eight years may not be enough.
"I'll sort out my thoughts after a few days."
Li Yuan had been thinking about this matter, and he had been thinking about sorting out his insights from learning martial arts over the years a few months ago.
"Thank you, Brother Li."
Liu Zheng clasped his fists, feeling grateful.
He knew very well that with Li Yuan's current status and martial arts, if he wanted to recruit followers, not to mention body-tempering warriors, even shape-changing warriors might be recruited.
"It's just convenient."
Li Yuan smiled and took out a pot of Baicao Wine from his sleeve. The two of them drank a few cups, then Liu Zheng got up and left, returning to the city to work.
Li Yuan fed the cats and mice in the house, then walked slowly towards Chungang Peak.
……
Chungang Peak, one of the six rudders of the universe, is responsible for making weapons and armor, and searching for natural treasures.
Before reaching the foot of the mountain, one could already see from afar the columns of smoke that could not be dispersed by the wind, as well as the many disciples and convoys that were welcoming and seeing off guests.
This is the transportation of supplies and weapons.
Among the six rudders of the universe, Li Yuan first came to the Chun Gang rudder. Although he failed to enter the core manufacturing area, he was familiar with the periphery.
Walking up the mountain to the middle of the mountain, the view is wide and a group of buildings rise up on the open land. Smoke fills the air and the sound of iron forging can be heard.
As you get closer, you can see that this is very different from the forges in Shenbing Valley and even other places.
He took a quick look and saw that from the outer island to the inside, there were the ore selection area, ore screening area, hammering area, quenching area, polishing and grinding area... It already had a bit of the feel of an assembly line.
"Uncle Li is here again?"
Seeing Li Yuan coming, several tall and strong disciples came to greet him, all of them had strong energy and blood.
The quality of the inner disciples of Longhu is extremely high. There are almost no ones who are inferior to them in Chungang Peak. Among them are even some geniuses who have been famous in other states for many years.
The Dragon and Tiger lists only list young disciples under the age of sixty, but the largest number of disciples in the Dragon and Tiger inner sect are those over sixty years old.
Li Yuan made a few polite remarks and then asked:
"Senior Brother Lin is not here?" The leader of the Chun Gang helm, whose name was Lin Tingfeng, was a man who had made great achievements in marrow refining and grew up to be strong and powerful. He also practiced horizontal training, but he was a very meticulous person. Although he did not accept him into the helm, he gave him the greatest convenience as allowed by the sect rules.
"The captain went down the mountain a few days ago, saying that the deputy hall master had issued an order to eliminate the assassins from the Zhaixing Tower and the secret agents of the Evil God Cult in Hengshan City."
Those disciples did not hide anything and their faces were all smiles.
In fact, since Li Yuan came to Hengshan City, except for the cold stares he received in front of the mountain gate, all he saw after entering were smiling faces.
"Eliminate the Star-Picking Tower and the Evil God Cult?"
Li Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he felt a little curious, but these people obviously didn't know much. After a few words, they led him to the forging ground in the corner.
"Go and do your work."
Li Yuan came with a forging hammer in his hand. He was standing next to the furnace at the moment, but he was not in a hurry to try it out.
The disciples who were leading the way, as well as many pure Gangduo disciples nearby, were also looking at him. These days, Li Yuan had become very famous in the Dragon and Tiger Temple and even in Dao City.
Information about him spread throughout the streets and alleys.
His titles such as Born in Dragon Shape, Forging Wizard, etc. are also well known to everyone.
However, the people of Chun Gangduo were skeptical about this. After all, how could a young man who had just come of age and had a great talent for martial arts be willing to be a blacksmith?
"The aura of the health furnace is very strong..."
In front of the furnace, Li Yuan seemed to be familiar with the forging table, but in fact he was looking around with his peripheral vision. He had known for a long time that the health furnace covered the entire inner gate of the Dragon and Tiger.
But the health-preserving furnace seems to have a focus. In places like mountain roads, fields, and bushes, the breath of true energy is very thin, while in the several major rudder peaks it is thick.
At this moment, looking at the burning furnaces here, with Li Yuan's attainments in forging and weapon casting, he could tell something was wrong at a glance.
The temperature of these furnaces is much higher than normal!
"Applying the secret realm of the health furnace to all aspects? The sages of the Dragon and Tiger Temple are truly extraordinary."
Li Yuan muttered to himself, but asked the disciple who had not left for a wooden sign.
"Uncle Li, what's this?"
Seeing Li Yuan using his finger as a pen, many disciples came over:
"Forge and repair weapons of any grade..."
"free?!"
A disciple exclaimed, his voice suddenly rising, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.
Li Yuan was not nervous. Compared with the scene in front of the mountain gate, this was just a small scene.
Facing the surprised, scrutinizing, or suspicious gazes of the crowd, Li Yuan bowed slightly, picked up the strange weapon forging hammer, and placed it on the forging table neither lightly nor heavily.
hum!
As soon as a buzzing sound was heard, the looks of all the nearby Chun Gang disciples changed.
The Chun Gang Duct is passed down with the Chun Gang Eight Hammers. Anyone who can be here is good at using hammers and forging. Just by hearing the sound of the hammer, you will know that the rumor is true.
"The Great Perfection of the Superior Hammer Technique? No, it's more than that..."
Deep in the quenching area, a strong old man with his upper body naked turned around, his thatched beard trembling, and his eyes were full of surprise and solemnity:
"Another Long Xinglie?"
Not only the disciples in the forge were disturbed by the sound of hammers, but also the muscular Lin Tingfeng inside the high wall frowned.
"He has only been in the Divine Weapon Valley for two or three years, but he has been able to cultivate the Weapon Dao Fighting Hammer to this level?"
There were also many pure Gangduo disciples within the high walls, and at this moment they all looked at each other in bewilderment, all feeling a little unbelievable.
"With such talent, it's no wonder that he was recognized by the Grandmaster..."
Lin Tingfeng pinched his beard, feeling even more fortunate that he did not act rashly. He, Chun Gangduo, could not retain a disciple with such talent.
when!
when!
when!
Li Yuan completely ignored everyone's surprise when he dropped the hammer, and was immersed in the sound of hammering.
When he first mentioned the forging hammer, he did so for a living, but now, Li Yuan is truly immersed in blacksmithing, his mind is focused as the hammer rises and falls.
At the same time, he was also visualizing, in the place of spiritual light, visualizing his spiritual self holding up the sledgehammer.
……
……
Call ~
A merchant ship sailed downstream and entered the dock.
Yu Xuanji pushed open the cabin door and looked into the distance. The farmlands on both sides of the river were golden in the early morning. Farmers were harvesting in large numbers, and the wind was filled with the smell of ripe grass and trees.
"Master."
Yu Xuanji bowed slightly.
On the deck, Gong Jiuchuan gently stroked the scabbard, his eyes slightly cold:
"Go back to the mountain!"
He walked very fast, and Yu Xuanji caught up with him only when they reached the city gate. She glanced at her master's sword and was slightly startled.
Even through the scabbard, she could feel the coldness.
"Master's Cloud Dragon Sword is broken..."
Yu Xuanji felt a little heavy in her heart. With her master's martial arts skills, there were only two or three people in Huizhou who could break his sword.
The Lord of Huailong Palace, Liu Shengyun?
The thought flashed through her mind, but she didn't dare to ask. Along the way, the atmosphere was a little suppressed. Even after entering the mountain gate, Gong Jiuchuan still looked at her with a frown.
"Master, you..."
Yu Xuanji couldn't help herself and was about to ask, but Gong Jiuchuan suddenly stopped and looked at several inner disciples who were climbing the mountain quickly not far away.
When the disciples saw Gong Jiuchuan, they hurriedly bowed to greet him.
"no."
Gong Jiuchuan waved his hand and stared at them: "Who were you talking about before?"
"Return to Master Gong, it's Li Yuan, Uncle Master Li."
The disciple bowed and answered.
"Li Yuan?"
Yu Xuanji was stunned for a moment, then she realized that she had been delayed on the road for more than half a year, so even if Li Yuan was slow, he should have reached the mountain gate by now.
"More than four months ago, Uncle Li opened a furnace on Chungang Peak to forge and repair weapons for all disciples for free. My weapons were damaged, so I went to find Uncle Li to repair them..."
Several disciples answered.
"He joined Chun Gang Peak?"
Gong Jiuchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and walked towards Chungang Peak.
Yu Xuanji followed, and before she had gone far, she saw many disciples watching under the dragon stele.
"Xuan Ji, Master remembers that you are ranked 143rd on the Dragon Ranking?"
Gong Jiuchuan stopped.
"Yes."
Yu Xuanji bowed and answered.
"This time, you should have a good chance of moving up more than ten places after opening up your meridians. If you can open up your meridians to a great degree, you may be able to compete for a place in the top 100."
Gong Jiuchuan paused for a moment, then switched to voice transmission:
"Only if you are in the top 100 will you be eligible to enter the 'Secret Realm'..."
"Secret Realm."
Yu Xuanji's heart trembled, and then she smiled bitterly:
"Disciple, do your best, the first hundred..."
"In, Uncle Li has made it to the top!"
At this time, a cry of surprise came from the stone tablet. The master and the disciple looked in the direction of the sound and raised their eyebrows at the same time:
"Ninety-seventh on the Dragon Ranking, Li Yuan?!"
