Yuanbao Town is only a small town, but it is very prosperous, because the surrounding roads lead quickly to several state capitals in the north of Wei County, and there are a large number of merchants coming and going.

After the carriage arrived in Yuanbao Town, Chu Xiu arranged the inn and took Yue'er and more than a dozen people of the Chu family to hang out in Yuanbao Town.

Chu Xiu looked at both sides, Yue'er was a little bored, Tongzhou Mansion is a big city in Wei County, much more prosperous than this town, what is there to see here?

At this moment, Chu Xiu suddenly discovered something and walked straight to a shop that sold secret boxes.

This so-called secret box is also a major feature of the world of rivers and lakes.

Martial arts flourished in the world of great rivers and lakes, but 10,000 years ago, it experienced a catastrophe of heaven and earth, which led to natural disasters and countless martial arts sects were destroyed in this last world.

Before the Great Tribulation began, the Great Grandmaster of the Array Dao had developed something called the Secret Box, which was used to store the treasures, classics and other things in the sect to prevent them from being damaged in natural disasters.

The core of the crate is its formation, which can be used to strengthen and close the crate, multiplying the effect, but unfortunately it is now lost.

The material of the secret box is arbitrary, gold and iron can be, stone and even wood can also be, anyway, the stronger the material of the secret box, the greater the power that the formation can exert.

The size and shape of the secret box is also arbitrary, anyway, the formation is the same, and the size and shape of the secret box completely depends on what the sect that made the secret box was going to use it for.

Therefore, after the Great Tribulation of the Ancients, the survivors excavated countless sect ruins and found a large number of such secret boxes from them.

Some people open the secret box and find a peerless miracle, while others find a rare treasure.

Of course, not all of the crates contain treasures, most of them are empty or contain useless things.

The empty secret boxes are all prepared by those sects in advance, and the formations are also depicted, so you can put things in at any time when you use them, and the appearance is basically the same as those secret boxes with things.

There are also some secret boxes that contain some things that are of great significance to the warrior, but in fact have little value, such as a sword used by a strong man when he was young, a handkerchief given by his sweetheart, and so on.

In this way, the things in the secret box are good and bad, and because of the special formation, no one in the rivers and lakes can detect the internal scene from the outside world, so buying the secret box depends on your own experience and luck.

Experienced people can analyze the origin of the secret box and its contents from the material, size, shape, and even the decorative patterns on it, of course, most people rely on luck.

The shops that sell secret boxes in this town in front of me are very small, and there are only a dozen small secret boxes in front of the table, all of which are different in shape and material, but the only thing in common is that they are all very cheap, and the materials are ordinary gold, iron and stone, so they will be sold in a town like Yuanbao Town.

Chu Xiu asked the shopkeeper, "Is you the only one in Yuanbao Town that sells secret boxes?"

The shopkeeper didn't even raise his head, just nodded lazily and said, "Of course, it's only me, even if the secret box is garbage, it will cost at least ten taels of silver to buy one."

Ninety percent of the people in the rivers and lakes who come and go to this Yuanbao Town are darts for people, a bunch of poor ghosts! They can't earn 10 taels of silver for a single trip to the dart, so how can they be willing to take out 10 taels of silver to gamble their luck?"

At this time, the shopkeeper looked up and saw the brocade dress Chu Xiu was wearing, and there were maids and servants by his side, his fat face couldn't help but show a flattering smile and said: "Those poor ghosts can't afford to buy secret boxes, Gongzi must be able to, these secret boxes were found in the ruins of the Nanban Mountains a year ago, and the price is absolutely affordable and fair." ”

Hearing the shopkeeper say this, Chu Xiu's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of essence.

If he remembered correctly, it was around this time that a slave-born guy bought an ordinary secret box in Yuanbao Town, but he didn't expect that there was a supreme martial art in it.

It was by relying on this practice that that person crisscrossed the rivers and lakes, broke into a great name, and even established a large sect by himself, becoming the master of the founding sect.

Chu Xiu had just come to this world, and what he urgently needed now was a powerful enough technique.

As a big clan of Tongzhou Mansion, their Chu family naturally has a Gong Fa inheritance, called "Hanhai Heart Method", and after cultivating Dacheng, they have a strong foundation, and their internal force is as strong as Hanhai.

But Chu Xiu, as a concubine, has not been valued since he was a child, has no resources such as pills, and has no elders in the clan to teach, so he has practiced for many years, and he is barely able to get started with this exercise, and his own martial arts cultivation is even more pitiful, and he has not even stepped into the blood condensation realm.

If you want to get started with martial arts, the first thing you have to go through is the three realms of body refining.

The first step in refining the three realms of the body is to boil the muscles and bones, and this heavy realm is called the body refining realm, refining the physical body, making the muscles and bones strong and the strength is outstanding.

Ninety percent of the martial artists on the rivers and lakes are in the quenching realm, because this realm is the simplest, and some people don't even know how to do internal skills, and only practice some superficial outer hard skills to reach the quenching realm.

Above the quenching realm is the blood coagulation realm, which is from the outside to the inside, after refining the muscles and bones, and then condensing one's own qi and blood, so that the thin qi and blood become thick, and finally even like lead and mercury, it can be regarded as the completion of the blood coagulation realm.

This realm is more difficult, and it is almost impossible for a martial artist who does not know the internal strength of the mind and cannot cultivate the internal strength to reach the blood condensation realm.

Just as Chu Xiu was thinking about these things, a mediocre-looking young man walked in and said, "Shopkeeper, bring me two secret boxes." ”

Ordinary people must be happy to buy the secret box shopkeeper, but when he saw this young man, he shook his head and said: "Li Jing, all the money you have earned from the Li family in Tongzhou Mansion has been thrown into this secret box, listen to my advice, this thing is not something you can play with."

You kid has a flexible brain, and he was appreciated by Li Sangongzi after only a few years of coming to the Li family, gave him the surname Li, and was transferred from the gang to the caravan, how good it is for you to take this money to make friends with some of the Li family's stewards, maybe you can be in charge in the future. ”

Li Jing smiled and said: "Even if I become a steward, I am just a descendant of the Li family, maybe I can really open some peerless magic skills from the secret box and soar." ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, and opened a peerless miracle?

There are indeed many legends on the rivers and lakes, and some people have opened treasures from seemingly inconspicuous secret boxes, but those are always a minority, and more are wasted money, and the chances are pitiful.

However, he himself sells secret boxes, and he sees that this Li Jing is also a poor person, so he reminded him of a few words, but since the other party insists on buying it, can he not sell it?

Just when he wanted to take the secret box, Chu Xiu suddenly said, "Wait, shopkeeper, I want all these secret boxes." ”

Just when the shopkeeper shouted out Li Jing's name and identity, Chu Xiu thought of his identity.

He is the warrior who once got a great opportunity from Yuanbao Town, born as a slave, but he relied on the magic skills opened in the secret box to cross the rivers and lakes and became the overlord of one party.

And listening to this Li Jing's words, the other party is really the kind of person who is unwilling to be ordinary, otherwise a waste with no ambition will not be able to take that step even if he opens his magic skills, and the final outcome is likely to be that he is killed and his magic skills are robbed.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu also secretly said that it was a fluke, he came in time, he only knew that there was such a thing, but he didn't know the exact time, if he came one step later, the opportunity would be gone.

Li Jing frowned and said, "This son, I said I wanted to buy it first." ”

Chu Xiu glanced at him and said, "Now I say I want it all, do you have an opinion?"

Li Jing's face showed a hint of anger, and he snorted coldly: "Does this son think that I, Li Jing, am just a subordinate and can be bullied? I am a member of the Li family in Tongzhou Mansion!"

Tongzhou Mansion is a big city in Wei County, and the Li family is one of the three major families in Tongzhou Mansion.

The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, although he is only a subordinate of the Li family, the dilapidated families in some small places are really not as good as him, and even some people from small families have to grovel in front of the Li family's stewards.

Chu Xiu looked at him and sneered: "I said before that I didn't want to be a subordinate for a lifetime, but when the matter comes, I don't want to use the Li family to fake the tiger?

Chu Xiu's words fell, and several subordinates behind him immediately surrounded him, looking at Li Jing with fierce eyes.

He has learned martial arts because he has been appreciated by the third son of the Li family, but after all, he is a subordinate, and he has learned some superficial kung fu, and his strength is only in the realm of quenching the body.

So he could only watch Chu Xiu take away all the dozen or so secret boxes in the store, I don't know why, in addition to having a feeling of being humiliated, he was more heartbroken, as if he had something important taken away.

After Chu Xiu left, Li Jing gritted his teeth with hatred, this matter is definitely not over!

He has been in the Li family for so many years, although he is only a subordinate, but he is the third son of Li, and he has made friends with a lot of big people!

At this time, after Chu Xiu got the secret box, he returned to the inn, drove everyone out, and checked the secret boxes one by one.

Because this secret box is only used to store things, the way to open the secret box is very simple, drip blood on the secret box, and the formation can naturally be unlocked.

There were a total of seventeen secret boxes, and Chu Xiu opened eight of them one after another, but seven of them were empty, and one of them had a booklet inside, which had long been decayed, and it was not an exercise, just a booklet that recorded the details of a sect's property, which was useless.

Until Chu Xiu opened the ninth secret box, the secret box was only made of brown stone, only the size of a palm, without any pattern decoration on it, and it looked very casual.

But after opening it, there was an ancient jade in it, exuding a faint warm light.

In ancient times, in order to better preserve the exercises, some strong people would not write the exercises on paper, but engraved them in the best jade with spiritual imprints, as long as there were no accidents, they would not be damaged for thousands of years.

"That's it!"

Chu Xiu held the jade slip with excitement, and suddenly a large paragraph of text poured into Chu Xiu's mind.

"Daomen Secret Classic, "Innate Skill"!"

The innate skill obtained by Chu Xiu is a branch of the Dao sect in ancient times, the inheritance of the whole true way, the cultivation of innate true qi, the rejection of all diseases, the adjustment of the void and the reality, the cultivation of the foundation, and the endless growth of the true qi.

Daomen Gong is the most important foundation, and it is also the most upright and peaceful, although this innate skill is nothing special at first glance, but it is full of four turns in the exercise evaluation of the original plot.

People have strength and weakness, and there are also strengths and weaknesses in the exercises, although the strength of the exercises is related to the people who cultivate, and there are amazing talents who can even rely on low-level exercises to crisscross the rivers and lakes, but after all, it is only a minority, so the rivers and lakes are still roughly divided into several levels.

There are nine turns in normal exercises, with one revolution being the lowest and nine turns being the highest.

Among them, the exercises of the first three turns can basically be used as a small sect of inheritance exercises, and ordinary Jianghu people can only practice fists and feet, and even one turn of the exercises is not qualified.

The exercises of the middle three turns are considered treasures in the entire rivers and lakes, and they can be used to start a sect.

As for the exercises of the last three turns, they are basically in the hands of some big factions, and very few are in the hands of individuals.

There are two levels above the nine turns, one of which is the supreme exercise, which can dominate the rivers and lakes and become the supreme martial arts.

The other is a peerless exercise, as its name suggests, it is unparalleled in the world at that time, and it is a legendary existence.

In addition to these levels, there are some miraculous skills on the rivers and lakes, which cannot be measured by grades, some people are very weak in cultivation, but some people are very strong in cultivation, and some miraculous skills are some strange effects, which cannot be calculated simply by power.

This innate function was evaluated by later generations as the four turns, and it can be used as a practice for the founding of the sect, which naturally makes sense.

The characteristics of the foundation of the Daomen Gong are exerted to the extreme by the innate skills, ordinary martial artists need to lay a good foundation for cultivation from an early age, the older they are, the slower they will enter the realm, but the innate skills are not, it can quickly refine the body of the martial artist, no matter how old you are, you can reshape the foundation.

In the original plot, Li Jing got the innate skills, but his own age is not young, and he has passed the best stage of martial arts, it is precisely because of the innate skills that he can reshape the foundation, and the realm is thousands of miles away, even stronger than those disciples of the family who have practiced martial arts since childhood.

And the current situation of Chu Xiu is similar to that of Li Jing at the beginning, although he is from the Chu family, but in fact, there was no special person to teach him when he was a child, and there was basically no pill used to build the foundation, so his foundation was also extremely poor.

But now with this innate skill, Chu Xiu can make up for this, and even make his martial arts path a step higher than that of a martial artist of the same level from the starting point.

Looking at the remaining secret box in front of him, Chu Xiu also opened it, but he didn't expect to find another exercise, but this exercise did not appear in the original plot, of course, it may also appear, but Chu Xiu didn't know.

This technique is not an internal skill, but a strange knife technique called "Green Dragon in the Sleeve".

Chu Xiu's martial arts are just getting started, except for those very famous exercises in the original plot, even if the rest of the exercises are placed in front of him, he can't see whether they are good or bad, but with his current gaze, the green dragon in this sleeve is much better than the ordinary martial arts of their Chu family, and the weakest should be the second turn.

The knife technique of the green dragon in this sleeve pays attention to the art of hiding the knife, the knife shape is hidden in the sleeve, the knife intention is hidden in the body, and a knife is cut out, just like the green dragon going to sea, and the power is immeasurable.

The knife is the green dragon, and the sleeves are the sea where the green dragon is hidden, the whole knife technique is very simple, and its charm is only the strongest knife cut out of the moment when the green dragon goes out to sea.

The internal strength of the Chu family is the Hanhai Heart Method, as for the other martial arts moves, they are not too strong, they are all ordinary martial arts, fists, feet, palms, knives, guns and sticks, everything, which one to choose depends on your own hobby.

Although Chu Xiu, the green dragon in this sleeve, couldn't see the depth, it was definitely much better than their Chu family's simple sword skills.

And when Chu Xiu opened the secret box here, he was unwilling to be robbed by Chu Xiu, and Li Jing also came to another inn in Yuanbao Town to find a backer.
