Chapter 20: The Realm of Broken Bodies
The business of Mingjiafang City was also violently suppressed by Guo and Zeng within a month, and the profits once shrank by nearly fifty percent, and there was no input at all in the elixir. But fortunately, this loss is not too painful.
At the same time, the forces in the entire northwest land, with the Guo family playing the banner of the Northern Spirit Sect, most of the second- and third-rate forces were drawn over by the Guo family, and only a small number of forces were attached to the Ming family and the Shaying Alliance. For a time, the situation in the entire northwest region also changed from the coexistence of the original four major forces to the confrontation between the two camps.
Although on the surface, both sides did not make a big move, but because the Sha Ying Alliance was notorious and did not do business and medicine collection in Fang City, it was indeed a bit difficult to leave the Ming family to deal with Guo and Zeng in Fang City and medicine collection. Fortunately, Zhenbaoxing secretly gave a lot of support to the Ming family, otherwise the Ming family alone estimated that it would not last long.
After another month, Guo and Zeng launched two new medicines, Coagulation Blood Dispersion and Hua Xuan Dan, one has a miraculous effect on people who practice martial arts to stop bleeding and build muscles, and the other can help spiritual cultivators break through the realm of spiritual people. As soon as these two new drugs came out, they directly robbed the Ming family's business for nearly three floors again.
It didn't take long for the Ming family to launch the Blood Condensation Powder and the Hua Xuan Pill after receiving the secret support of the Zhenbao Xing Yipin Alchemist, but the effect received was not great, but it still brought back a lot of business.
In this way, the tug-of-war over the elixir began. However, due to the fact that the grade of the Zhenbao Xing Alchemist was one grade lower than that of Danfeng, it was much weaker than the other party in terms of the quality of the pills, the quantity of the pills, and the cost advantage.
Therefore, the business competition in the fang market naturally ended with the defeat of the Ming family.
Time flickered, and another half a year passed, and Mingjiafang City, which had been suppressed by the Guo family, basically had no income, causing the Ming family to close many shops. In addition, the collection of medicines, which had been stopped for more than half a year, had failed to bring any benefits, and the Ming family had no financial resources for a while.
And the operation consumption of a family is huge, once there is no economic source, how long can the Ming family support it?
Faced with such a situation, after many discussions, the elders of the Ming family wanted to send the family medicine collection team into the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range again to collect the elixir, hoping to supplement the family's consumption. However, this idea was refuted by Ming Qingsong, the great elder of the Ming family, with his own strength, and the reason was very simple - the head of the family had an order, and the Ming family's medicine collection team was not allowed to enter the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range until he left the customs.
This situation once made the elders of the Ming family anxious and depressed, and they had to discuss starting to reduce the consumption and expenditure of various cultivation resources, hoping to support it for a while longer.
In half a year's time, Ming Xuan had already stepped into a realm of broken body that no one had ever reached in the entire Northwest Land, and the number of acupuncture points around his body had reached an astonishing two hundred and forty-three. The acupuncture points of "Electric Light Step" and "Sword in the Sleeve" have also been opened, and after months of non-stop hard cultivation by Ming Xuan, they can already be regarded as entering the house. Ming Xuan is confident that his current self can fight even against low-level martial artists.
Li Chunfeng was also very happy after learning that Mingxuan had successfully entered the Zhou Tian cycle three months ago. In his opinion, it only took Ming Xuan four months to establish the Zhou Tian Cycle, and he was already a real mortal martial genius, which naturally made him excited!
And since Li Chunfeng got Ming Xuan's official establishment of the Zhou Tian Cycle, he didn't care about Ming Xuan's cultivation, because after four months of teaching, what he could teach and what he should teach had already been taught to Ming Xuan, and the rest was up to Ming Xuan himself. He only occasionally found time to come over and point out Ming Xuan.
However, for the fact that truth and spirit cannot be combined, and the limit breakthrough cannot be too much, he still remembers it, and every time he sees Ming Xuan, he will not forget to tell him.
At the same time, since Ming Xuan officially entered the realm of breaking the body a month ago, he rarely went through the external limit breakthrough to obtain true qi. Because once you enter the realm of breaking the body, as Li Chunfeng said that day, every time you break through an acupoint, you will get more true qi to feed, and at the same time, the entire body and meridians will be strengthened, and the speed and strength will continue to break through invisibly.
So far, because Ming Xuan has the help of spiritual energy to break through the acupoint, the consumption of true qi is very small, and at the same time, the amount of true qi after breaking through the acupoint is huge. In this way, the amount of true qi in his body has now reached an astonishing level, and he is naturally able to use "Electric Light Step" and "Sword in Sleeve"!
On the other hand, with the continuous strengthening of the meridians in Ming Xuan's body, the "Spirit Channeling Technique" could no longer play the role of strengthening and expanding his meridians. He had to replace the body quenching spirit recipe with a higher-grade "Yuan Spirit Formula".
Another piece of good news that is worth Ming Xuan's excitement is that now because he has enough true qi in his body, and at the same time, the effect of the meridians under the strengthening of the Yuan Ling Jue is also very significant, he does not have to worry about the meridians being torn apart by the true qi, he will be able to break through at least five or six acupoints every day. In this way, it only takes another month for him to step into the Innate Realm, and in three months he can reach the legendary Psychic Realm.
Although Ming Xuan has now reached the realm of breaking his body, his true qi is also sufficient and terrifying, and at the same time, "Electric Light Step" and "Sword in the Sleeve" have also been practiced to the fullest. But there is still a huge shortcoming, that is, the lack of practical experience. He had to find a way to make up for it as soon as possible!
Originally, he originally wanted to inform his eldest brother of the news, so he asked to lead the family medicine collection team to the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range to pick elixir. But Ming Feng suddenly retreated half a year ago, and ordered the family medicine collection team not to enter the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range for the time being, and everything would be talked about when he was out of the customs. The news of the Ming family's retreat is also very good, except for a very few Ming family descendants, no one knows.
It's just that in this way, Ming Xuan's desire to follow the family medicine collection team and enter the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range to experience is naturally in vain. But if he was allowed to go alone, he was unfamiliar with the place, and he was alone, and it was very likely that he would be lost in the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range, or be swallowed up by some unknown danger in the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range, and he would naturally not dare to take risks.
For a while, such a situation also made Mingxuan feel distressed!
In the loft hall with the highest specification in Zhenbao Shop, four people are sitting as the host and guest.
Sitting in the first place is a beautiful woman who looks no more than twenty-three or four, a light blue dress, a lock of beautiful hair, slender willow eyebrows, charming eyes, a straight nose bridge, smooth and delicate skin like jade, and the whole person looks gentle and graceful. This woman is none other than the master of Zhenbao in the Northwest Land, Luo Xili.
On the two seats to the left of the woman sat two men who looked to be in their forties, one with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a tall figure, and the other with long hair and a murderous face. Both of them are wearing black tights, and the word 'sand' on their chests is particularly eye-catching. It is the two kings of the famous Sand Shadow Alliance, Lu Jianxing and Qian Guji, whose strength is the fifth order of the Spirit King and the third order of the Spirit King respectively.
To the right of the woman sat an old man who looked to be in his sixties, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, his hair and long hair were a little silvery, and he was wearing a silver robe. It is the great elder of the Ming family, Ming Qingsong, whose strength has reached the seventh order of the terrifying Spirit King, and it is indeed a high-level Spirit King!
"Elder Qingsong, is the head of the Mingfeng family of your family really in retreat as rumored outside, can't you even take time to attend such an important meeting as ours?" Luo Xili, who was sitting in the first place, couldn't help frowning, and asked Ming Qingsong on the right.
When Ming Qingsong heard this, he quickly got up and bowed to Luo Xili and the two kings of the Shaying Alliance: "Please also ask Lord Luo Xing and the second king to forgive me, this time the head of the family left a message before the retreat, and he will be closed for about two years, unless the head of the family has any major changes, nothing can be disturbed! ”
After Luo Xi left to listen, a flash of loss flashed in his eyes, and then his color quickly returned to normal and said, "Okay! Since your family master does have something important, let's start." ”
Seeing this, the two kings of the Sand Shadow Alliance and Ming Qingsong straightened up, and their expressions instantly became serious.
"At present, the Guo family has completed the liquidation of the second- and third-rate forces in the entire northwest region, and those who did not belong to the Guimeng will either be destroyed or will be attached to the Guo family. At present, Guimeng is already much weaker than the Guo family in terms of martial strength and medium strength. I wonder what the three of you think about this?"
Luo Xili briefly explained the overall situation in the entire Northwest Land. After finishing speaking, he no longer paid attention to the two kings of the Shaying Alliance and Ming Qingsong, but picked up the tea on the table by himself, looking not in a hurry at all.
Seeing this, Ming Qingsong and the two kings of the Shaying Alliance couldn't help but exchange glances with each other. Then Lu Jianxing got up and hugged his fist at Luo Xili and said: "Please rest assured that Lord Luo Xing is this! Although the Guo family's strength has increased a lot through this, but my Sha Ying Alliance and the Ming family are not as simple as they seem, if they want to eat our two forces, unless the Northern Spirit Sect sends more manpower again, it is impossible! And even if the Northern Spirit Sect sends more manpower again, my Sha Ying Alliance will not succumb to any force, it's a big deal!"
After speaking, Lu Jianxing flicked his sleeves arrogantly before sitting down, and he was not afraid of all difficulties and dangers.
"Giggle...... The Land King of the Sand Shadow Alliance is really bold!" Luo Xili praised with a face. Then he put down the teacup in his hand, and asked unhurriedly with a smile on his face: "Then I don't know if this fish is just the meaning of the Sand Shadow Alliance, or the meaning of your alliance?"
Luo Xi finished speaking unhurriedly, and then turned his head to look at Ming Qingsong on the other side.
At the same time, after listening to Luo Xili's words, the two kings of the Sand Shadow Alliance couldn't help but focus their eyes on Ming Qingsong.
