Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Three Levels of Martial Arts, the Secret of the Grandmaster

Lu Shengzu, the contemporary head of the Lu family, has a short neck and strong body, a face full of meat, looks like a human bear, and behaves rudely and irritable on weekdays, but at this time, he watched Shang Yong put the box containing knives on the ground like a girl holding porcelain, and then returned to his usual rude appearance, and said: "How many knives are in this box? Have you brought all the knives in the knife shop?"

Shang Yong knew the character of the head of the family, and when he heard this, he hurriedly accompanied him and said carefully: "Only half of the ...... have been moved."

"Huh?!"

Lu Shengzu's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Say it quickly, what's going on?"

Shang Yong hurriedly said: "The master of the house, it's like this, we just entered the store, but unfortunately Miss Huang Liu also came to the store with Hanmi, and then fought with the son......

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Sangongzi and wanted him to help prove it.

Lu Sangongzi said hatefully when he heard this: "That yellow-haired girl is so hateful! Don't commit it in my hands in the future!"

Lu Shengzu leaned forward, like a bear that chose people to devour, then remembered something and sat back again, and then reprimanded: "Okay, I know, you go down!"

Shang Yong was like being pardoned, and he bowed his head and retreated.

After waiting for Shang Yong to go down, Lu Shengzu stepped in front of the box, opened the box, looked at the neatly stacked knives inside, rubbed his hands, looked left and right, his face was full of excitement, as if he was inspecting a treasure, and then picked up a handful and put it in front of him to observe it carefully.

Lu Sangongzi also followed the probe and looked over, and when he saw that he was watching one knife after another, he couldn't help yawning, shook off the fan and fanned it, and said boredly: "Dad, you hurriedly called me over, just to buy such a pile of broken copper and iron?"

Lu Shengzu put the knife into the scabbard, glared back at him, and reprimanded: "Broken copper and broken iron?! What do you know, there is probably a big secret hidden here!"

Lu Sangongzi became a little interested and asked, "What secret?"

Lu Shengzu put the knife into the sheath and said, "The secret of becoming a grandmaster!"

Lu Sangongzi's eyes lit up suddenly, but he still pointed to the box of knives in disbelief and said, "Just rely on them?"

Regarding his son's questioning, Lu Shengzu was smug and said: "You don't believe it? Okay, there is a thing, or secret, that I have never told anyone, and now I can tell you - do you know that eleven years ago, our Lu family was no worse than the Wu family, and in some respects it was even better than them!"

Lu Sangongzi immediately asked, "Is it the Wu family?"

Lu Shengzu glanced in the northeast direction, gritted his teeth and said, "Which one else can there be besides them?"

Over the years, the Wu family has become stronger and stronger, and even the current mansion is from their family, on the contrary, the Lu family and several other families have gradually weakened because their interests have been constantly encroached upon by the powerful Wu family, and the biggest reason is that Wu Qianyuan, the contemporary head of the Wu family, has become a grandmaster!

Lu Shengzu and Wu Qianyuan are about the same age, both families have family martial arts, each has its own merits, and the qualifications of the two are similar, but Wu Qianyuan continues to break through and eventually become a grandmaster, but he is trapped in the seventh layer of the Earth Yuan Realm, and after so many years, the progress is still slow.

Hearing this, Lu Sangongzi couldn't help asking, "Is the seventh layer of the Earth Yuan Realm so difficult?"

Lu Shengzu smiled angrily: "Nonsense! If it's not difficult, you Lao Tzu and I will become a grandmaster sooner, and you still have to look at Wu Qianyuan's face every day?"

Then he sighed and explained: "It is not easy to practice martial arts at every level, but the fourth layer of practicing the marrow, the seventh layer of practicing thoughts, and the ninth layer of cultivating a breath of innate qi, these three steps are the most difficult, collectively known as the three levels of martial arts! The bone marrow is in the innermost part of the hard bones, unless there is a family heirloom martial arts like our Lu family, or the Qingfeng faction, there is a secret method of inheritance, otherwise the practice of the marrow realm will not be able to pass - even if there is a family heirloom martial arts, if there are no sufficient resources, it is difficult to improve!"

"This second level, practicing the state of mind, pay attention to 'practicing the mind like electricity, feeling the world externally, moving one's body inside', sufficient resources are necessary, but the help provided is very little, people's thoughts are changing rapidly, if you want to cultivate it and drive it, the key depends on the individual, and, more seriously, the consumption of the mind to the body will be very large, and if you are not careful, you will hurt the original ......"

Speaking of which, Lu Shengzu also felt deeply, although he still looked like he was in the prime of life, but after practicing over the years, half of his hair has turned white, and it will increase a lot every once in a while, all because of dyeing his hair so that outsiders do not find out.

"As for the ninth layer, raise a breath of innate qi, this is the highest secret of the family, and it is too profound for you, so I won't talk about it now!"

Lu Sangongzi's focus was not on this, but then asked, "Then what do they have to do with these knives?"

"Of course it does!"

Lu Shengzu is determined.

To be able to become the head of the family, he is naturally not as reckless as he became, for Wu Qianyuan to successfully break through the three levels of martial arts, he believes that there must be reasons and secrets that he does not know, so he has spent a lot of money investigating this matter over the years, and his experience before and after practicing the Mind Realm is even more important.

The same generation has lived in Shengyun Mansion, and the two sides know each other, and what Wu Qianyuan has done, from morning to night, one by one, one by one, has almost been investigated by the Lu family.

Lu Shengzu believed that the secret of Wu Qianyuan's breakthrough was in it, and then he collected these things, figuring them out one by one, and finally something caught his attention, and felt that it was the key to Wu Qianyuan's breakthrough: on the night of the fifth day of June eleven years ago, Wu Qianyuan went to the Jianghu pawnshop, and then went to the "Qianguang" sword shop in the west of the city to buy a sword.

After returning to the Wu family, Wu Qianyuan often used that sword to practice, and then disappeared for a while, until four years ago, the butler of the Wu family, whom he had paid a lot of, saw it again and was offered to the Wu family's sect!

So everything makes sense, Wu Qianyuan can successfully break through the practice realm, and the pawnshop and the sword are likely to be the key!

Over the years, Lu Shengzu has been constantly seeking ways to break through the "Lian Nian Realm", and judging from some of the secret information circulated by other big sects and larger families, there is a divine weapon or other similar things that are indeed of great help to Lian Nian.

If this is just his unilateral speculation, the Huang family's "coincidental" appearance in the "Three Fire Knife Shop" today made him even more firm in this speculation.

Of course, he also went to contact the Danghu pawnshop soon after discovering this matter, but he tried his best but didn't get much useful information, and went to the "Qianguang" sword shop to buy a lot of swords, which was also useless, but he didn't give up, but focused on other people who came out of the Jianghu pawnshop.

More than three years have passed, and finally let him wait!

Coming out of the pawnshop in the rivers and lakes, receiving guidance, and going to a shop to buy weapons, what a similar plot this is!

He originally thought that there would be some twists and turns, but he didn't expect that the martial arts of the person who bought the knife were too low, which saved him a lot of trouble, and the fly in the ointment was that the intervention of the Huang family made him lose half of the "opportunity" - Huang Mingzong's old fox!

Lu Sangongzi also mentioned this and said, "What should I do if I am robbed of half by the Huang family?"

Lu Shengzu's eyes froze, and he said, "Don't worry about it for now, I have my own way, and the Huang family master practices boxing, those knives may not be useful to him - are you sure that the first knife that the person touched was obtained by you?"

Lu Sangongzi said: "The child is sure!"

Lu Shengzu breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't care about other things anymore, and concentrated on studying those knives.
