In addition, Yan Xiong once revealed that when the physique is strong enough, it can directly stimulate the power of qi, blood, and masculinity, and it has a good defensive effect against soul attacks and the secret techniques of the Yin and Evil Sect.

This alone made the balance in Meng Zhou's heart tilt greatly.

Moreover, for him, there is a very special advantage of taking martial arts, that is, it is easier to gain experience.

Because martial arts cultivation consumes very little mana, this can make cultivation more durable.

At the same time, he can achieve the simultaneous cultivation of multiple non-conflicting martial arts, which is also something he can't do in terms of spells for the time being.

With a thought in his heart, Meng Zhou put all the other items in the storage bag, and only held the book of the Flesh Body Horizontal Exercise in his hand, which was still very fresh.

Entering the study, just as he was about to study, Meng Zhou's heart moved, and he took out the more ancient classics that he had obtained from Yan Xiong in another capacity that day.

When he was two years old, Meng Zhou read all the two classics, one new and one old.

He found an interesting phenomenon.

The horizontal practice method recorded in the more ancient classic book is called "Cangxiong Henglian Method", but Yan Xiong came to the door today to give him a copy of "Red Bear Iron Body Method".

Ninety percent of the two horizontal exercises are similar, but one percent is different.

This is not that Yan Xiong harbors evil intentions, the two sides corroborate, and Meng Zhou easily discovered the reason.

"The Blue Bear Horizontal Training Method" should be the physical body horizontal training law book that Yan Xiong has practiced since he was a child, and the "Red Bear Iron Body Method" is the result of Yan Xiong's improvement of the original horizontal training method from the perspective of a martial arts master after practicing the "Flame Fierce Technique".

It is more in line with himself, and it can better cooperate with the fiery mana he has cultivated, complementing each other.

This is his attempt to reconcile the two practices into one system, and the results seem to be very good.

Meng Zhou had just deduced it in his mind, and he could roughly imagine how fierce and violent Yan Xiong would be once his combat power was fully activated.

After seeing all this, Meng Zhou did not hesitate to choose the "Bear Horizontal Practice Method".

Although the Cangxiong Horizontal Practice Method is not as strong and violent as the Red Bear Iron Body Method improved by Yan Xiong, its biggest advantage is that it is neutral and peaceful.

And the "Red Bear Iron Body Method" must be combined with the fire system flame technique to maximize the effect, but Meng Zhou's fundamental technique is not the fire system, but the water system.

Moreover, from Yan Xiong, the blue bear horizontal practice method was turned into the red bear iron body method, which gave it a lot of fire-based characteristics, which also gave Meng Zhou a lot of inspiration.

"When I cultivate it to a certain extent, I can also refer to this idea and turn it into a horizontal practice method that can be more in line with the water nourishing and moisturizing technique."

Because the cultivation of the Cangxiong Heng Cultivation Method needed the assistance of foreign objects, before preparing for the formal cultivation, Meng Zhou needed to go to the bazaar to make some purchases.

Moreover, the root carving statue that he thought would be enough for Bai Ya to eat for a long time was eaten by her at one time, and he had to prepare more "food" for her.

After coming to the bazaar, Meng Zhou had already changed into a different appearance, and he habitually went to Wang's rice shop first.

Although he didn't have a talisman to sell, he planned to dispose of some items that seemed more and more trivial to him now, such as the first-order mid-grade shield magic weapon that he had obtained from Zhou Quan that day.

With his current strength, the problem he can solve, this magic weapon is useless.

The problem he can't solve, this magic weapon is also useless.

But when he came to the door of Wang's rice shop, Meng Zhou was stunned.

The layout of the store is very different from the one he remembers of Wang's rice shop, the brand new shelves are empty, and someone is placing items on the shelves.

At the gate, a middle-aged man stood next to Meng Zhou, looking up and instructing a person standing on the ladder to adjust the plaque.

Chen's Grocery Store.

"A little further up to the left...... Good, good! That's it. ”

After the middle-aged man finished his guidance, he found that a stranger next to him was also looking up at his plaque and greeting him with a smile.

Meng Zhou, who was a little stunned, asked, "Are you the new boss here?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile.

"What about Wang's rice shop before? Did something happen? ”

The expression on the face of the middle-aged man with a smile on his face a moment ago turned cold at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

For a businessman like him, not telling the rights and wrongs of others is the first priority of doing business.

The next moment, Meng Zhou put a low-grade spirit stone in the other party's hand and said:

"Don't worry about it, I only have some ordinary cooperation with the former owner here, I have nothing else to do with it, and I don't ask for any secrets, you just pick up what you can say and know it."

The smile on the middle-aged man's face was like a tide, surging from the trough to the crest again, he took the spirit stone into his arms and introduced Meng Zhou into the house.

It's not that he is shallow-eyed, he was bought by this low-grade spirit stone, but he has just hung up the signboard, and before it has officially opened, someone came to the door to send money, which is really a good sign.

After a while, Meng Zhou came out of the house, his mind was in a trance, and those words seemed to be still echoing in his ears.

"Didn't our Warm Cloud Valley open up the trade line with Red Pine Ridge, at first it was just the Professional Association's pulling a few big forces to play, and then more and more clever people also poured up when they saw the opportunity."

When it comes to "smart man", the middle-aged man's expression still has some unconcealed banter.

"That Wang Wei of Wang's rice shop is a clever person.

It turned out that when I opened a rice shop, I didn't operate honestly, and I made a lot of ingenuity.

Later, he spent most of his thoughts elsewhere, and the operation of the rice shop became more and more perfunctory.

How could he miss such an opportunity? ”

"I heard that he ran with several other people twice, and the first time he made a lot of money!

Second ......"

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man spread his hands, shook his head and said, "I never came back, and none of the ones who were with him came back." ”

"Maybe there's something delayed over there at Red Pine Ridge?" Meng Zhoudao.

"Impossible."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Someone bought a bloody magic weapon from a stall maker, and because of its special shape, it was recognized, and it was Wang Wei's thing." ”

"So, he's really dead?"

"His family was the first to believe it, and after the news spread, his family disposed of the shop, and now no one knows where they went."

"Why did you suddenly die when you said that this was so good? Are all the looting rampant now? Meng Zhou shook his head and sighed.

The middle-aged man stared at him and laughed inexplicably.

"What, you think it's not a robbery?" Meng Zhou asked.

The middle-aged man hurriedly denied it, and said, "Of course it's a robbery, how can it not be a robbery if you do such a murderous thing?"

…… However, if you are interested, you can go to a nearby teahouse and sit down, hehe. ”

Meng Zhou asked, but the middle-aged man didn't say a word more.

Walking on the street in a trance, passing by a teahouse where many people gathered, Meng Zhou turned around and walked in.

I ordered a pot of spiritual tea casually, found a place to sit down and drink it slowly.

After a pot of tea, he got up and walked out of the teahouse.

Here, Meng Zhou knew that he would never go back, and it was not only Wang Wei and his group who were killed by the "robbery and repair", and recently, five or six such things have happened.

This sudden tragedy directly frightened the "private capital" that had just been stimulated into vitality and shrank back.

The only thing that is not affected is the "official trade" organized by the big powers that cooperate with the professional associations.

In view of this fact, some people are secretive, but there are also some people who have some relationship with the victim and say something with deep connotations there.

There is only a layer of window paper left, and the emperor's new clothes are about to be torn.

Whenever this happens, the shopkeeper will quickly jump out to save the scene, and ask everyone to leave some guards on their lips, so as not to let his small shop close down.

After leaving the teahouse, Meng Zhou went straight to find Wu Tong, and when he saw Wu Tong, who had a nose and eyes, could breathe and laugh, Meng Zhou, who was a little gloomy, suddenly became a lot more cheerful.

Through Wu Tong's matchmaking, Meng Zhou spent a thousand lower-grade spirit stones to buy nine first-order middle-grade spirit woods, and another thousand lower-grade spirit stones to buy two first-order high-grade spirit woods.

Regardless of the middle grade or the top grade, they are all the kind with very ordinary characteristics, otherwise, if you want to win them, you will have to pay a higher price.

"One portion" is the main material component of refining a magic weapon under normal circumstances, of course, it does not mean that all magic weapon refining strictly follows such a weight, it may be more, it may be less, this is just the default standard measurement of everyone.

After the test of green spirit wood, Meng Zhou found that at this stage, it is more cost-effective to use ordinary medium-grade spirit wood to "feed" Bai Ya.

But Bai Ya has now awakened his wisdom, and he can't fully consider the cost performance.

Otherwise, if one day she suddenly said that she didn't want to eat coarse bran every day and wanted to eat some fine grain, he would have to prepare in advance.

After the purchase was completed, Meng Zhou paid Wu Tong an intermediary fee of two hundred spirit stones.

This time, Wu Tong refused to accept it, he really thought that it was a bit hot to take so much with his own efforts.

After some pushing, Wu Tong only took a hundred lower-grade spirit stones.

It's not that he is really high-spirited, but compared to the income this time, he wants to have a good relationship with Meng Zhou and deal with it for a long time.

Then, Meng Zhou went to Baiqitang again, and he wanted to customize a magic weapon.

An important feature of the horizontal practice method is that it is necessary to toss.

Only by tossing fiercely can the potential of the physical body be awakened.

The tossing method of the bear horizontal practice method is very direct, relying on the three methods of "relying on the method", "hitting the method", and "rubbing the method".

At a low level, cultivation can be completed with the help of big trees and mountain rocks, but as the realm increases, such a method will soon become ineffective.

Meng Zhou considered his actual situation, such a method would not work, and he simply did it in one step.

Entering Baiqitang, facing the shopkeeper with a smiling face, Meng Zhou directly put forward his needs:

"I need a high-grade artifact."

Hearing his request, the smile on the shopkeeper's face became even brighter.

"Do you have any specific needs?"

"I need it hard enough and heavy enough."

"And then?"

"It's better to have a rough surface, not too smooth."

"And then?"

"That's all."

The shopkeeper's face was stunned, what is the use of such a high-grade magic weapon?

It is enough to use suitable first-order high-grade materials to pinch an iron lump, how can this show his means of Baiqitang, and how can it be sold at a high price?!

In the end, under his strong persuasion, Meng Zhou finally agreed to add a geokinetic talisman array.

This will indeed make this magic weapon more useful, and it will indeed be more helpful for him to cultivate the Bear Horizontal Cultivation Method.

In the end, Meng Zhou determined the style of this magic weapon.

"Made in the shape of a three-legged tripod, it can be placed firmly on the ground."

After deciding, Meng Zhou paid a deposit of 1,000 lower grade spirit stones, and the remaining balance of 500 lower grade spirit stones was paid when he picked up the goods three days later.

Originally, Meng Zhou was confident that he would complete the deal with no more than a thousand lower-grade spirit stones, but because of a geo-power rune array, he directly paid five hundred more.

And for a first-order high-grade rune array master, this is only half a day's work at most.

On the way back, Meng Zhou calculated today's consumption.

There are no incomings and exits, and a full 3,100 lower-grade spirit stones are spent, and there are 500 after three days.

There are also some bits and pieces, and after calculating it, there are still 4,740 lower-grade spirit stones left on his body in the end.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's the same everywhere, money is easy to spend and hard to earn.

Back at the Forgotten Pavilion, Meng Zhou once again devoted himself to cultivation.

Because of the investment of a lot of time, the experience gained by the Ice Talisman and the Imperial Sword Technique every day has increased a lot, and Meng Zhou has also comprehended the Cangxiong Heng practice method in his spare time.

He believed that when he got the minor, he would soon be able to successfully get started.

In such anticipation, two days later, Chu Zheng took Yu Peng to visit.

Seeing Chu Zheng, Meng Zhou didn't give him a good face for the first time.

He calmed his face and directly challenged: "Old Chu, is the association planning to rob and kill those individuals who want to go to Hongsongling to make a fortune?" ”

When he asked, he directly put Chu Zheng, who was full of smiles, there, and the smile froze on his face.
