Beginner, proficient, small, large.

A martial art, or skill, is mostly divided into these four levels, and normally speaking, as long as you are immersed in it and are diligent and patient enough, no matter how dull a person is, you can grind to the top.

To achieve perfection, it is not only necessary to practice hard, but also to have talent and understanding.

With the help of the master's hammer, Li Yuan easily pushed the forging technique to Dacheng, but four months later, it was still not complete.

However, the great achievement of forging has the basis for creating the best blade, but there is a gap between the heat and the success rate.

Zhang Ben felt that he was in a hurry, but he felt that all the high-grade blades he had hit were successful and the momentum was booming, and he also wanted him to give it a try.

Seeing that he insisted, he simply complied, and after getting off work, he went to the backyard to see Cao Yan.

"You can't count on Cao Yan, Fang Nuxia has to give it a try."

Li Yuan washed his face, saw that it was not yet dark, closed the door of the forging room, and walked quickly to the inner city.

The inner city has been very lively in the past half a month, a few streets before and after the road, you can see scattered paper money everywhere, outside the closed gate, there are many women and children wearing linen and filial piety, crying in a low voice from time to time.

A few were even shivering, wondering if it was sadness, fear, or the cold.

"Cao Yan still has some means, Fang Nuxia...... Well, a good guy."

Li Yuan stopped and watched, shaking his head in his heart.

Women and children blocked the door, wept and mourned and persecuted, this kind of thing is nothing to any force in the inner and outer cities, and it will be broken up with a mess.

But Fang Yunxiu didn't succeed, she dared to do it, tomorrow a large number of women and children blocking the door would have to die, and then it would inevitably be followed by surging emotions and boiling public resentment.

"Although martial arts are good, people still haven't practiced them, and if they don't make a move, they shouldn't make a move."

Li Yuan commented in his heart.

Although the Valley of Divine Soldiers is powerful, but with Qiu Long dead and the internal and external forces in Gaoliu County in collusion, it will be difficult to deal with it if he is not ruthless.

It can only be said that martial arts are martial arts, and means are means, and sometimes they cannot be confused.

"Brother Lai!"

Not long after Li Yuan stopped, Liu Zheng had already come over, and the two had made an appointment a few days ago to come to Lufu.

Externally, it is natural to say that Fang Yunxiu was invited.

Looking at the women outside the Lu Mansion, Liu Zheng shook his head: "These families in the inner and outer cities are becoming more and more ignorant of advancing and retreating, and they are really not afraid of the Divine Soldier Gu Qiu to settle accounts."

"It's not necessarily that you're not afraid, maybe it's a fluke, right?"

Li Yuan agreed, but he understood in his heart that after Qiu Long's death, those families in the inner and outer cities, whether they wanted to or not, could only go one way to the dark.

Kill all of them, and you're afraid of blocking the door?

"Get out of here! If you are blind, you dare to stop me?"

Liu Gongzi was not polite, raised his foot and kicked away a few men who stepped forward to block the road, and went straight to knock on the door.

The name of the county lieutenant is naturally quite big, and many people recognize Liu Zheng, although those people were kicked over, they didn't dare to fight back, and rolled to the side with their heads in their hands.

"Liu Zheng is visiting!"

After a while, the family opened the door cautiously, and when he saw that it was Liu Zheng, he breathed a sigh of relief, opened the crack in the door, and let the two of them in.

……

In the backyard of Lu Mansion, Lu Bailing sweated like rain, and she didn't go out for more than half a month, and she practiced martial arts hard every day under the supervision of Fang Yunxiu.

"The point is not in the wrong hands, but in the mistakes! The palms are staggered, like a hundred flowers flying, there is reality in the void, there is virtuality in the reality, and the changes in the virtual and the real can be carried out at will, and it is complete!"

"Emptiness is not powerless, and reality is not powerless......

"No pouting, no crying!"

Lu Bailing was sweating, gritting her teeth, her eyes were red, where did she suffer this crime?

But Fang Yunxiu was unmoved, constantly reprimanded, and urged with high pressure, even if a family member came to report, she was not allowed to rest for a while.

"Keep practicing!"

Fang Yunxiu turned around with his sleeves, and Li Yuan and Liu Zheng bowed down to greet him.

"Fang Woman......"

"Well, what's wrong?"

Fang Yunxiu was not in a good mood, and her tone was cold.

"No, it's Brother Li who wants to see you for something."

Liu Zheng was a little afraid of her, and hurriedly replied, then retreated to the side, if it wasn't for Li Yuan's begging, he wouldn't want to touch his head at this time.

"There is indeed something I want to ask Fang Nuxia."

Li Yuan's attitude was respectful.

For Fang Yunxiu, he was a little jealous before, but since he hit this blocked door, he is not so jealous.

Good people, most of the time, is by no means a derogatory term.

"Something to do with internal strength?"

Fang Yunxiu turned her head and glared at Lu Bailing, before asking.

"Yes."

Li Yuan's etiquette is very thoughtful, and his attitude of seeking advice from others is not left behind:

"When the disciple practiced a few days ago, his qi and blood were running violently, and faintly, there was a feeling of squirting out of the body, I want to ask Fang Nuxia, is this a sign before breaking through the internal strength?"

Regarding the state before the breakthrough of internal strength, Li Yuan was naturally very clear.

"Huh? So fast? What kind of pill did you take?"

Fang Yunxiu raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Hui Fang Woman, I took an inferior Yuan Dan......

"Then it's no wonder."

Fang Yunxiu was surprised, but she was still amazed by this kid's talent, she had also practiced martial arts for several years to get to this point.

Moreover, I had to take one or two pills every month back then......

"Internal strength comes from qi and blood, and after the qi and blood are warmed to the limit of the human body, and then swallowing fierce medicine, it is the process of cultivating internal strength......

Normally, you need to comprehend the root diagram, and you don't need to ...... if you have perfected the method."

Fang Yunxiu opened her mouth to talk about the trick of breaking through her internal strength, as well as the points that need attention, she already regarded Li Yuan as a disciple of the Divine Weapon Valley, and she naturally didn't hide her secrets.

Li Yuan understood most of what she said, but she didn't interrupt, and after listening to her, she nodded again and again, and then asked:

"I don't know if the disciple's cultivation of white ape strength will affect the ...... in the future."

"You're smart."

Fang Yunxiu paced a few steps and sat on the stone bench under the tree:

"The white ape cloak hammer is considered a fine product in the inferior martial arts, although it is a small circulation of qi and blood, but it also covers the limbs, waist and abdomen, and the white ape strength raised is not too bad......

Glancing at Li Yuan, she naturally knew what he was worried about:

"From internal strength to quenching the body, you only need to cultivate the strength that covers the whole body, so as to nourish it, so that the body can break the limit, as for whether you use the white ape strength or the green snake strength, it doesn't matter......

"That's good."

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although he himself guessed that it had no effect, with Fang Yunxiu's affirmation, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"If you can break through, you don't have to press it, as for renovating other internal strengths, that's something that needs to be considered after quenching the body, and you don't need to pay attention to it."

Fang Yunxiu picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Although she was a little bored in her heart, since she had accepted the task of finding the British envoy, she had to do her duty.

"The disciple still has doubts......

The opportunity is rare, Li Yuan naturally will not miss it, and throws out the problems encountered in the past year of martial arts training.

Fang Yunxiu didn't smile, but he also answered them one by one, but he couldn't help but be a little shocked in his heart.

This apprentice boy from the countryside, his talent is only more amazing than she imagined, and there are some problems that can only be encountered by cultivating internal strength......

"I see, thank you Fang Nuxia for your doubts. The disciple still has doubts...... The internal strength covers the whole body until it replaces the circulation of qi and blood, is it the inner strength......

"Shape-......"

Hearing the word 'easy shape, Fang Yunxiu's eyelids were raised: "You haven't achieved any internal strength, why do you ask about internal strength and easy shape?"

Talented, but some ambitious!

Li Yuan reluctantly stopped, Fang Yunxiu shook his head in his heart and made an evaluation.

"Learning martial arts is not overnight, but

After years of hard training. You don't need to know so much now, you just need to practice the hammer method to the Great Perfection and break through the internal strength.

Just do these two things!"

Fang Yunxiu reprimanded.

Li Yuan nodded again and again, and kept summarizing today's harvest in his heart.

He had accumulated doubts for more than half a year, and today they were all solved by Fang Yunxiu, which made him sigh with emotion, the quality of the disciples of the Great Gate Sect.

"Internal strength, quenching the body, internal strength...... Cultivate internal strength, quench the body, and finally, run the internal strength through the whole body until the internal organs ......."

"Auntie !!"

At this time, Lu Bailing finally couldn't hold it anymore, let out a mournful roar, and collapsed to the ground, sweat wetting his capable martial robe, making Li Yuan subconsciously look at it a few times.

"Where's Liu Zhengren?"

Only then did Li Yuan come back to his senses, and it was already dark.

"He's been gone for more than an hour!"

Lu Bailing was out of breath, his hands and feet were sore, and he almost lost his strength.

She was a little aggrieved, her aunt had never spoken to herself so well.

Talent is good, is it that amazing?!

"It's getting late, go back."

Glancing at Lu Bailing, Fang Yunxiu waved his hand to see off the guests.

Li Yuan is a person who is used to climbing up, and after understanding the cold and hot temperament of Fang Nuxia, he asked about Chijin.

"Red gold?"

Fang Yunxiu's brows furrowed slightly: "Red gold does not circulate among ordinary people, I ...... Neither do I."

After swallowing the poor word, Fang Yunxiu's face was a little bad.

Her house has long been dilapidated, and she doesn't want Lu Yunqing's help, although her life is not tight, she really doesn't have much silver, let alone red gold.

That's what circulates among dignitaries......

'Not really......

Li Yuan also sighed in his heart.

Fang Yunxiu was very poor, he knew it, after all, this disciple of the Inner Sect of the Divine Soldier Valley had such a second-order sword, which was far worse than Tang Tongdu......

However, he is not trying to borrow money:

"The disciple saved some silver, and I want to ask you to help me change it for one or two taels, I wonder if there is such a way?"

"Uh-huh......

Fang Yunxiu thought of Han Chuijun, that ghost old man had a huge net worth, and he must have it.

"Old Han is here, Yuan family, huh?"

Fang Yunxiu woke up suddenly, frowning and looking at Li Yuan, who pretended to be at a loss.

Is the Inner City Yuan Family related to the Valley of the Divine Soldiers?

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly, Fang Yunxiu is not unavailable......

"Auntie, I'm cold!"

Over there, Lu Bailing was about to cry, she fell to the ground and sat for so long, and her aunt didn't even come to pull herself up......

Fang Yunxiu got up and sent off the guests:

"Go back, if you have time, I'll ask for you."

"Thank you, Lady Fang!"

Li Yuan bowed his hand.

Compared with Cao Yan, it is indeed very comfortable to deal with this Fang woman, although she is very cold on the outside, but she is hot on the inside.

……

……

Forge shop, backyard garden.

Cao Yan was wearing a coat, his face was slightly pale, and between his chest and abdomen, it was faintly visible that there were blood stains oozing out under the white cloth, and the injuries left by the cicada wing sword technique were extremely difficult to heal.

"Three taels of red gold, more than ten catties of dark iron, more than ten catties of blue essence and cold iron? How dare you open your teeth......

Glancing at Zhang Ben's back, Cao Yan's face became gloomy:

"Do you really think of yourself as a shopkeeper?!"

"Red gold, dark iron, blue essence cold iron? This kid is going to fight the 'Bihan Autumn Water Sword?'

Feng Gang, who was standing with a sword in his hands in the shadows, had a slight light in his eyes:

"I can't imagine that in such a big place as Gaoliu County, there are still such good forging seeds, and it is only seventeen, and it is actually going to try to create the best blade?"

The best blade,

It often costs thousands of taels, or even thousands of taels of silver, and the three two-story courtyards in Fucheng are only at this price.

This is something that can be passed down from family to many generations as a family heritage.

In the more than 200 years of forging soldiers, the best blades saved are no more than ten, which makes the incense master very important.

"It's just trying, it's mostly empty iron."

Cao Yan glanced at him coldly, with a warning:

"He's my man, you have to dare to think about it......

"If he can really create the best blade, he can't say who it is!"

Feng Gang tugged at the corners of his mouth, quite moved.

Xu Feng's bastard is similar to his martial arts, why is he more valued by the incense master, isn't it because he has a cold iron knife of the best blade level?

"Without three years of training, he can't hit the best blade!"

Pressing lightly on the wound on his waist and abdomen, Cao Yan's eyes were cold: "He is already very piercing, and he has created a superb blade, I am afraid that Han Chuijun will be alarmed......

Chijin, he doesn't have much, how can he lose it to an apprentice to try his hand?

"The incense master is here, if Han Chuijun dares to come, it will be a good thing......

Feng Gang touched his chin, his eyes flickering.

"What do you want to do?"

Cao Yan turned around angrily, only to feel that his waist was empty, and before he could get angry, Feng Gang had already retreated into the shadows:

"Borrow you three taels of red gold, and the right to be the reward of Feng as a guard!"

"You!"

……

"A true word is transmitted, and a false word is passed on ten thousand books. The patriarchs really don't deceive me......

Coming out of the Lu Mansion, Li Yuan exerted his strength at his feet, bypassing the weeping and mourning crowd outside the door, and sighed in his heart.

Some things seem to be a very simple sentence, but no one breaks them, so you have to try them yourself, and I don't know how much time it takes.

If someone breaks it, it will suddenly dawn on you.

Of course, Li Yuan understands the importance of mentorship.

"It's not difficult to quench the body, practice externally, nourish strength inside, and with the assistance of pills, normally, you can break through in two or three years, and the pills are continuous, and you can even break through in a year, but ......

Blood Enhancement Pill, Leopard Fetal Yijin Pill, and Bone Strengthening Pill cannot be broken......

The harvest is not small, Li Yuan is in a good mood, but when he thinks of the pill he needs, he feels a headache again.

A few windfalls, plus non-stop iron striking, and borrowing one hundred taels of silver from Sun Hao, in addition to buying medicine, he also had three hundred taels of silver, and ten taels of gold.

But the ceremony of holding the soldier requires a hundred taels of silver, ten taels of gold, and one tael of red gold, normally speaking, it also requires a hundred taels of silver.

If you really calculate it, the amount of silver he can spend is only about 100 taels......

"If it weren't for Sun Fatzi's one hundred taels, I wouldn't even have run out of medicine......

Li Yuan sighed in his heart, turned around, and was about to enter the hospital when he suddenly heard a squeaky scream.

"Someone?!"

Li Yuan's heart was shocked, and his five fingers were clenched, ready to summon the wind-breaking mallet at any time.

"Yes, very alert."

When Li Yuan was guessing the identity of the people in the courtyard, the people in the courtyard had already spoken:

"I heard that you have an excellent forging talent, and this time I came to the door to ask you to create a superb blade for me, the Autumn Wind Sword!"

"Huh?!"

Li Yuan was stunned, but his vigilance was undiminished:

"There is no reason to break into someone's house at night and ask for weapons, who is Your Excellency?"

"Please?"

There was a sneer in the courtyard, and Feng Gang grabbed the chubby little mouse and pinched it:

"In twenty days, a certain family will come again, if it doesn't come out, or if something is broken......

Call!

Outside the courtyard, Li Yuan looked up and saw a black shadow climb onto the roof, and a few ups and downs had disappeared into the night.

"Squeak!"

Inside the courtyard, the little rat screamed and seemed to be frightened.

"Who is this man?!"

Close the courtyard door and catch the frightened little mouse, Li Yuan

The brow is furrowed.

In the past few months, of course, Liang Ashui was not the only one who asked him to build a blade, but it was the first time he encountered someone who came to the door at night, and his words were full of threats.

"This person's accent doesn't look like a ...... from Takayanagi County."

Li Yuan frowned and thought about it, and walked to the room, and suddenly, he looked stunned.

In the room where there was no oil lamp, a little red light flickered, and on the table, there were three thumb-sized ......

"Red gold?!"

Three steps and one step, Li Yuan held the red gold in his hand, his eyes were stunned, and his heart was full of incredulity.

Although he had never seen red gold, he couldn't be more ripe with this feature!

He thought about it for months, and he could dream it from time to time.

"It's really red gold, that's okay?!"

Lighting the oil lamp and looking at the light, Li Yuan's heart was full of surprises, and even the fear of the mysterious person was swept away.

"Three taels of red gold!"

Weighing the three pieces of gold glowing with red light, Li Yuan's heartbeat accelerated.

Pulling a few pieces of bacon and throwing them to the little mouse, he quickly checked around, closed the doors and windows, and moved out the wrought iron that had fallen under the bed one by one.

"1,000 catties of wrought iron, 100 taels of silver, 10 taels of gold, 1 tael of red gold......

Blowing out the oil lamp and placing all the materials in place, Li Yuan carefully checked the courtyard in the house, and kicked the little mouse under the bed.

Then he rubbed his hands:

"Promotion, Commander!"
