……

The improvement of cultivation made Meng Zhou's physical condition further improved, and his physical state was finally no longer weak.

Meng Zhou could clearly feel the surging vitality in his body, but the reason why there was such a label as "sub-health" was related to the fact that this body was hollowed out of its vitality and potential by the Blood Demon Skill.

Even if this breakthrough in cultivation made him increase his life limit by another two years, it was still far inferior to a normal Qi cultivator.

However, as the cultivation was upgraded from the first level of Qi cultivation to the second level of Qi training, the cultivation efficiency of Xiaocheng Water Cultivation Technique decreased sharply.

Each further step in the cultivation process requires two weeks of cultivation.

And with the improvement of cultivation, the mana is far more abundant than before the breakthrough, and more rounds of sword qi fingers and spiral palm knives can be cast, and the experience increases faster.

Be the first of many skills to reach +100 XP per day.

And the consummation of the water step, in addition to making Meng Zhou really feel the "watery", also made his understanding of martial arts have a comprehensive improvement, which is a height that the original owner has not reached in his life.

With such a commanding vision, within one day, the three martial arts of Phantom Walking Dragon, Ten Thousand Miles of Divine Travel, and Shrinking Bones and Disguise were all introduced.

The original cultivation plan has also been adjusted according to the actual situation.

Because the cultivation of the crane control hand also requires the cooperation of both hands, Meng Zhou will not be distracted to cultivate it until the finger sword and palm sword are perfected.

And the consummation of the water step left his legs empty, Meng Zhou thought about it carefully, and chose the Phantom Step Youlong among the two light skills.

On the other hand, the characteristics of bone shrinkage and disappearance are the same as those of the breathing technique, as long as he does not actively interrupt himself, he can always hang up and level up, +1 experience per quarter of an hour, and +96 experience per day.

Meng Zhou didn't change his body shape, but through the subtle adjustments to the details, he looked a lot thinner and haggard.

Meng Zhou was still very satisfied with this adjustment, not only being able to hang up and level up, but also more in line with his positioning as a down-and-out old cultivator who was more than half a hundred years old.

And he shows people with such a face, which will not make Li Heng, Xu Lei and others feel abrupt.

Perfect!

In this way, Meng Zhou once again devoted himself to cultivation, practicing the exercises at night and martial arts during the day, and moreover, he practiced a variety of martial arts at the same time.

He set a minimum goal for himself, that is, before Li Heng completed the fourth level of Qi training, he would at least reach the perfection level of the sword and palm sword.

Except for this quiet room where he cultivated, the quality of the Baijiang Gang Spirit Land was low, and it was not suitable for the breakthrough from the early to the middle stage of Qi cultivation, so Li Heng had to go elsewhere to find another spiritual land for the purpose of rushing through the level.

Coupled with the haste of the matter, tossing back and forth, and preparing some pills to assist, Meng Zhou roughly estimated in his heart, even if it was the fastest, it would take him more than ten days to go.

With his current cultivation efficiency, he can achieve this goal.

But this only made him feel more at ease when he was cultivating, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

In addition to the steady progress of water cultivation and cultivation, the cultivation projects he is now advancing at the same time are:

Finger sword, +100 experience per day;

Turtle and snake strength, +50 experience per day;

Breath Harvesting, +96 XP per day;

Phantom Dragon, +45 XP per day;

Shrinking bones and easy to face, +96 experience per day.

On this day, Xu Lei came to the door again.

After putting the fresh meat vegetables into the kitchen, he handed an envelope to Meng Zhou.

This is a habit that Meng Zhou formed after he issued him the task of exploring the bottom and not managing things that day, and every time they met, he would summarize some new progress and hand it to him.

Because the information is very trivial, for fear of omission, he will carefully write it on paper before coming.

After receiving the letter, Meng Zhou did not rush to check, but asked something completely unexpected by Xu Lei.

"What's going on in the gang right now?"

"Huh? Big brother, what do you say? Xu Lei didn't react for a while.

"All aspects."

Xu Lei was stunned, then shook his head and sighed: "The situation is not too good, people's hearts are fluctuating, and messy rumors are flying all over the sky." ”

Meng Zhou nodded, this was similar to what he expected.

Since he crossed over, he has never asked for help, and even the scope of activities is limited to the small courtyard, and only occasionally will he go to the outside of the courtyard to relax his body and mind.

But as the de facto leader of the Baijiang Gang, the Baijiang Gang also occupies a very important position in the memory of the original owner, and he naturally inevitably thinks of things related to it from time to time.

This period of time can be regarded as the most turbulent and turbulent time since the establishment of the Baijiang Gang.

First of all, the original owner, who was admired by all the gangs, was the founder of the gang, revealing his unbearable bottoms.

This damage is not only to the prestige of the original owner, but also to the morale of the gang.

Then, he announced that he would quit and would pass on the position of the helper to the second Li Heng.

Li Heng is also outrageous, he doesn't want to manage well and be a qualified helper, but he disappears after three days of playing, coming and going in a hurry.

Although Meng Zhou himself knows that this guy attaches great importance to the Baijiang Gang and the position of this gang leader, it can be reflected in the actual effect, the Baijiang Gang really has some suspicions that the father does not love the stepfather and does not love it.

The people's hearts are confused, rumors are spreading, this is the current situation of the Baijiang Gang.

Speaking of this, Xu Lei couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Especially those ordinary martial artists, they used to be able to do things with peace of mind, all because they believed in your original promise, big brother, but now, they are very worried."

"Afraid that my promise will not be fulfilled?" Meng Zhou asked.

Xu Lei hurriedly denied it.

These ordinary warriors who have worked hard with the Baijiang Gang for many years are the most powerful, and they are likely to become the biggest victims in this turmoil.

Whether it was from Meng Zhou's simple feelings, or the inheritance of the "debt" left by the previous master, or the scheming in his heart, he couldn't watch the situation continue like this.

In this regard, Meng Zhou also had a solution in his heart.

"The third."

"Huh."

"Before the second child comes back, don't arrange any more river patrols."

"Huh? Don't patrol the river anymore? So what? ”

Xu Lei's face was stunned, this was the only way for the Baijiang Gang to make money.

"Cultivation." Meng Zhou replied.

"Cultivation?" The inherent train of thought made Xu Lei not turn the corner, and he was a little incomprehensible to the answer in front of him.

"The Baijiang Gang is targeted by the Mo family, and it is destined to have some twists and turns, and I can't tell how it will change in the future.

But since I had brought them to the cultivation world and made that promise, I thought that I had fulfilled my promise before the change came.

No matter how it changes in the future, I am not a dishonest person. ”

He had deeper considerations in his heart, but he didn't say it to Xu Leishen at the moment, but just these words were enough to convince him.

Xu Lei thought about it and said:

"Okay, I'll arrange this as soon as I get back."

For the ordinary martial artists who have not officially entered the cultivation circle, what they are striving for is just a part of the road they have already traveled for those Qi cultivators in the gang, and it is just basic common sense.

Xu Lei is gone.

Xu Lei came again, this time, it was not only him, but more than a dozen other people.

Meng Zhou's breathing technique now has reached the master level, and his sense of breath is very keen.

He could see at a glance that nearly half of these people had the aura of the first level of Qi cultivation fluctuating on their bodies, which was a sign that they had just broken through to the first level of Qi training;

And the other half, the breath is a little weak, and at first glance, it seems that there is a mistake in cultivation and it has been counterattacked.

Meng Zhou's gaze smeared over them, and finally looked at Xu Lei.

Xu Lei spread his hands helplessly and said: "Big brother, it's not that I want to bring them here, it's that they must come over." ”

Those newly promoted Qi Cultivators, who had just successfully transferred from martial artists, came to Meng Zhou and greeted them with a big salute to thank him for his kindness to their recreation.

And those warriors who failed to rush through the level and also encountered a backlash came to bid farewell to Meng Zhou.

Although it was a big pity that they failed to pass the level and failed to become cultivators, they at least tried it themselves, and it can be regarded as a solution to their obsessions.

Although they were sad, they were equally grateful to the helper for creating such an opportunity for them.

After they left, Meng Zhou told Xu Lei: "Forget this batch, I have received my wishes, don't do it again in the future." ”

These are all small episodes that happen in the daily life of calm cultivation.

Meng Zhou's cultivation did not fall behind because of this.

During this period, the breathing technique and bone shrinkage and disappearance have reached the master-level level, the Phantom Walking Dragon has also advanced to the realm of Dacheng, and the Turtle and Snake Jin has completed the breakthrough from master to grandmaster.

And these can only be regarded as appetizers.

The most important thing is that the finger sword and the sword, following the water step, finally entered the consummation.

The water step was complete, so that Meng Zhou really felt the "water-nature".

And the more difficult consummation of the finger sword palm knife -

Meng Zhou looked at a thick-walled bronze tortoise-shaped incense burner in the living room, the incense in the furnace was still burning, with curling smoke and a faint aroma.

The only thing that spoils the scenery is that this turtle-shaped thick-walled incense burner is covered with holes all over its body, and there are deep traces of sharp blades.

Although, since the Finger Sword Palm Sword has been promoted from the beginning to the Grandmaster, both in power and range, with every progress, there has been a huge improvement.

But the improvement of any time is not as great as this martial art's promotion to perfection.

What's even more wonderful is that when the sword qi finger and the spiral palm knife are still on the edge of his fingertips, before he uses it, staring at the target, he has a rough judgment in his heart about how powerful the attack can be and how much consequence it will bring.

He can also use this wonderful feeling to secretly fine-tune attacks to maximize their power before they are unleashed.

"Before the martial arts are cultivated to perfection, what is improved is the power.

But if you break through to perfection, the power increase is secondary.

It's the extra features that come with it that are the most valuable. ”

In this seemingly mundane cultivation routine, time passed day by day.

On this afternoon, Meng Zhou was in the water tank, his feet were on the water, and his feet were playing a magic walking dragon, and his legs were difficult to distinguish.

Perform the crane control hand, control the crane eighteen styles, point, shoot, seal, block, press, grasp, lift, support, hold, fish, hammer...... And so on, under his casting, like a cloud of peers.

Although the water step had been completed, Meng Zhou was already accustomed to stepping on the water to practice martial arts. And this height is just right to pay attention to the river view outside the hospital at any time, which has become a habit for him.

If he could only see a small corner of this courtyard when he was cultivating, he would feel uneasy.

Although he never saw anything abnormal, this habit has been maintained by him until now.

At a certain moment, his gaze froze, looking at the Baijiang River in the distance.

More than a dozen boats appeared in his field of vision, rapidly approaching the area.

At the moment when the boat crossed the center of the river, a figure suddenly jumped out of the first boat, and rushed wildly on the river in the direction of the courtyard where he was.

Such an abrupt move caused a lot of people on the boat.

This person is Xu Lei.

He quickly ran to the courtyard gate, and this time, he didn't even knock on the door, and directly pushed the door violently.

And Meng Zhou, who had already come down from the water tank, looked at him with a serious face.

"Third child, what's going on outside?"

"Big brother, Li Heng has made a successful breakthrough and has come back."

"Hmm...... Come back when you come back, why do you make such a big move? Give me a horse? ”

"He's not the only one back, it's the Mo Guan and his entourage."
