It has been two months since reaching the first layer of condensation, Yan Fang was able to break through to the second layer of condensation yesterday, according to what is recorded in the Canghe Heart Sutra, there are theoretically ten layers in the condensation realm, but what is recorded in the Canghe Heart Sutra is only to the seventh layer of condensation, not only the Canghe Heart Sutra, all the internal strength methods that are circulated on the rivers and lakes can only be cultivated to the seventh layer of condensation, if you want to go further, you can only turn to the real cultivation method and practice the Yuan Force of Heaven and Earth. But the Tao should not be passed on lightly, and the true cultivation method is extremely precious. Ordinary people who want to truly embark on the path of cultivation generally have three options:

First, worship into the Xiuzhen sect, but the standard of the Xiuzhen sect to accept disciples is extremely harsh, and the requirements for talent are extremely high, although many sects will make an exception every year to accept some children of wealthy families with average qualifications, after all, the cultivation of cultivators also needs to rely on the financial and material resources of the world, but this proportion is extremely small, and most of the disciples recruited are talented and have immortal roots.

Second, to become a retainer of a wealthy family or a Xiuzhen family, many Jianghu masters who have reached the seventh level of condensation will choose to join a certain wealthy family or Xiuzhen family when they have no hope of breaking through, so as to obtain further methods. But this is also equivalent to selling my life to a certain family in disguise, and from then on, my life is up to others, not me.

3. Joining the army. Da Chu is the most powerful country in the world!

To the east of Great Chu is the Nine-Nation Alliance, which consists of nine nations: Zhao, Wei, Han, Song, Yelun, Dayue, Jiang, Yu, and Wushan. There is often friction with Da Chu.

To the west is the Xisai Plateau, there are more than 20 small countries on the Xisai Plateau, the people of these small countries all believe in Kuzen Buddhism, Kuzen Buddhism was born from Buddhism, originally originated from the first ascetics on the Xisai Plateau, and was born in the barren land of the Xisai Plateau, and now Buddhism has declined in other places outside the Xisai Plateau, for example, only in the east of Yuezhou there is a temple that survived hundreds of years ago, which is also the only temple left in Yuezhou. The same is true in other states and counties, and it is difficult to see temples that represent Buddhism again. But on the Cisse Plateau, you can see temples everywhere, and ascetics sitting cross-legged and reciting Buddhist scriptures. Kuzen Buddhism was originally just a simple religion, but after hundreds of years of development to now has changed its taste, the leaders of Kuzen Buddhism in the past generations are called the Buddha, all the monks on the Xisai Plateau, ascetics are under the orders of the Buddha, and the kings of all countries are also under the orders of the Buddha, so to speak, the Buddha is the supreme leader on the Xisai Plateau. The Buddha of this generation is ambitious, and there is also friction with Da Chu from time to time.

To the south is a million barbarian territory, inhabited by millions of barbarians, and the hatred between barbarians and Great Chu has a long history. They have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, and the war has never stopped.

To the north is the 100,000 Great Mountain, which is the habitat of the demons. The demon clan is not a demon or a monster, and the demon clan is also a human being, and it is a collective name for the ethnic minorities who inhabit the 100,000 mountains. Because they all practice the Xia Lian Sect, and the Xia Lian Sect is contemptuously called the Demon Sect by people outside the 100,000 mountains, it is called the Demon Clan. The Demon Clan and Da Chu have also been at war for many years.

Therefore, Da Chu can be called the enemy on all sides, and the most lacking thing in Da Chu is the soldiers, the status of the soldiers in Da Chu is very high, and the rewards obtained by the military exploits are also very high, and the cultivation method is one of the rewards.

Some of this information was learned by Yan Fang after he came to this world, some of it was learned from Old Man Zhao's mouth, and some of it was seen from the Canghe Heart Sutra, which is not only a Jianghu exercise, but also records some common sense and anecdotes about the cultivation of the truth in the last few pages of the book.

Yan Fang has also been thinking about his future for the past two months, as a traverser, of course he is not willing to stay in this brothel for the rest of his life, to be a cook, and he has also had thoughts before, but because he is still young and has no cultivation in his body, he has not been able to make the trip, and now he is seventeen years old, and he has also embarked on the path of cultivation, and the idea of going out has come out again. The path that Yan Fang chose for himself was to join the army, and it was not realistic to worship the Xiuzhen sect, and with Yan Fang's temperament, it was impossible to be a domestic slave for others in order to practice the Fa, so there was only one way left to join the army.

When to leave and how to tell Old Man Zhao are what Yan Fang is still considering.

But at least it's going to be busy for a few days.

The old lady of the Yang family, a wealthy family in Yuezhou City, will celebrate his 80th birthday tomorrow, the second young master of the Yang Mansion, that is, the grandson of the old lady Yang Xiao is a playboy, and he is also a frequent visitor to Cuiming Building。 invited Old Man Zhao to have a family banquet, and sure enough, it was amazing, and Old Man Zhao's craftsmanship conquered the stomach of the Yang family.

Lord Zhizhou made a decision on the spot and asked Old Man Zhao to be in charge of his old lady's birthday banquet.

Therefore, Old Man Zhao, Yan Fang, and Li Dafa's master and apprentice have been staying in the Yang Mansion for the past few days, preparing for tomorrow's birthday banquet. Of course, for such a big birthday banquet, only three people can't be busy. The Yang family also invited a lot of cooks, the chef is Old Man Zhao, Yan Fang, and Li Dafa also became a sous chef, Li Dafa has real skills in cooking, and the knife and fire work are quite good.

The cucumbers and fried haggis at the family banquet that day were made by Li Dafa. And the cooking skills of a certain sous chef surnamed Yan are not satisfactory, usually only for Li Dafa, Zhao old man to help, now there is a group of cooks, there is no need to start, so I moved a small bamboo chair, sat on it with Erlang's legs crossed, supervised the work of the cooks, and knocked melon seeds, so comfortable.

"We, the people, are so happy today!"

Old man Zhao was helpless when he looked at him, so he went to his own place with a blank look.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the birthday banquet, the birthday banquet was in the evening, the sky was already dark, there were a few stars scattered in the sky at random, the back kitchen of the Yang Mansion was in full swing, the old man Yang and Li Dafa were already busy, and they couldn't wait to give birth to three heads and six arms, even Yan Fang had already stood up, shuttled in the back kitchen, and instructed the cooks to put on the plate and serve it as soon as possible.

Old man Zhao had just finished making a sweet and sour fish, and casually glanced at the willow forest outside the wall, a glimmer of light flashed in his cloudy old eyes, as if he had noticed something, but he immediately lowered his head and continued to work.

By the time the birthday feast was over, it was almost time for everyone to clean up the mess. When I looked up, it was already full of stars.

Old man Zhao, Yan Fang, and Li Dafa packed up their things and embarked on the way back by starlight.

As soon as he walked out of the back door, Old Man Zhao suddenly said that something had fallen in the back kitchen of the Yang Mansion, and he wanted to go back to get it, let Yan Fang and Li Dafa go back first. Yan Fang and the others didn't suspect anything, and reminded Old Man Zhao to be careful on the road, so they went back first.

Old man Zhao turned the alley, did not enter the back kitchen of the Yang family, but stared at the willow forest in front of him and said, "Come out, don't hide." After a moment's moment, the two black-clothed men flew down after a little hesitation, both of them holding a sword in their hands, and the speed was extremely fast, like an old man Zhao rushing towards him, one left and one right, forming a pinching attack.

"King Yu really looks up to my old bones, and sent two killers who are at the peak of the late stage of the Broken Hung Realm. The old man's face did not change, he stood motionless until the swords of the two men in black were already close at hand, and then he took out the kitchen knife on his waist without hurrying, and if you looked closely, you would find that there were still a little fish scales scraped on the kitchen knife.

"Wow".

A flash of silver light flashed.

The two men in black had fallen to the ground, their blood soaking and forming streams of blood in the surrounding ravines.

The black-clothed man on the right struggled to get up, holding the ground with a single sword, with a hint of fear in his tone: ""Are you from the Li family's knife shop?"

The old man silently picked up a stone from the ground without answering.

"Wow"

The stones broke through the air.

"Poof"

The man in black could no longer get up, and his life was completely cut off.

The old man gently wiped the kitchen knife in his hand, inserted it back into his waist, turned around and disappeared into the night.
