Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 56

[Chapter 56: Recruiting a Disciple (Congratulations to the leader of the Night of Cramps!)]

Two months later.

There is a martial arts school in Sanyuan City.

The interior is still deserted.

Fang Xi didn’t care at all.

At this moment, he was lying on the armchair, taking away the book covering his face, with a hint of joy: “Since I solved the Three Talents Formation, I can finally understand the inheritance a little bit…”

Although he only understood the beginning, Fang Xi still maintained great enthusiasm.

In fact, he also knew that even if he built a great foundation with the help of spiritual consciousness, if he wanted to make progress in the four arts of cultivation, it still depended on his aptitude and the resources invested in the later stage!

For example, an alchemist in the foundation-building stage may be able to refine a first-level elixir quickly. After investing a large amount of resources, he may even try to refine a second-level elixir, but the input and output may not necessarily be able to break even.

What level one can reach in the end still depends on one’s talent!
Not to mention, the formation is even more special.

With my qualifications, I am obviously in a thankless job.

But… isn’t there anything I can do now?
Since I only have this level of formation inheritance, I can only bite the bullet and continue.

“Hmm…ha…”

There was actually some people on the training ground in front of the martial arts hall.

At this time, there was still a girl in red who was practicing boxing against a wooden stake.

Her figure was much larger than that of her peers, and her cheeks were rosy. Although she was not very beautiful, she was still quite pretty.

“Master, how am I doing?”

After the girl finished performing a set of boxing moves, she looked at Fang Xi expectantly.

“Not bad, not bad…” Fang Xi praised without sincerity: “Since you can perform this set of ‘Hunyuan Fist’ with great effect, I believe that in a short time, you will be able to initially control your Qi and blood and enter the first level. In the future, you will be able to cultivate your true strength and become a famous hero in the martial arts world. It is just around the corner, just around the corner…”

The girl’s name is ‘Sun Hongdie’, and she is the daughter of our neighbor Grandpa Sun.

I don’t know why I was so crazy about learning martial arts, but the money in the Sun family was not enough to pay the tuition for those martial arts schools.

It just so happened that Fang Xi’s martial arts school was right next door, which made it convenient for Sun Hongdie to go home, and the fees were also quite low.

So the two sides hit it off and let Sun Hongdie join a martial arts school.

and……

“Hongdie, we haven’t finished chopping the firewood at home yet!”

A man’s head suddenly popped out from the wall next to him. It was Uncle Sun.

“oh!”

Sun Hongdie had to give up her martial arts dream and go back to fetch water and chop firewood…

When I came back, I hadn’t even practiced for a stick of incense.

“Hongdie, it’s time to cook…”

This time, the head that popped out from next door was a woman, Sun Hongdie’s mother.

“oh!”

Hongdie agreed, with a hint of annoyance on her face.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked Fang Xi up and down like a fox: “Master… did you make an agreement with my family? Did you deliberately trick me into coming here to practice martial arts?”

She had suspected it a long time ago, because the fees of this martial arts school were only one tenth of those of other martial arts schools, and they even gave their own school a 30% discount on top of that!

This is too cheap!

“This… really doesn’t exist. You have to trust me, Master.”

Fang Xi opened his eyes wide, seemingly filled with sincerity.

“I don’t believe you! This Hun Yuan Fist doesn’t seem to be very powerful…”

Sun Hongdie murmured to herself.

At this time, Grandpa Sun from next door walked into the martial arts hall with a smile: “Nephew Fang Leng, would you like to have a drink with me tonight? I just chopped some top-quality pig head meat!”

“Well, very good!” Fang Xi put down the book and responded with a smile.

“That’s great! I’ll ask my wife to cook two more dishes!”

Grandpa Sun was smiling.

In fact, he had a very careful calculation. Although Fang Leng was from another place and there were not many apprentices in his martial arts school, he was rich!

He had inquired and found out that this house was not rented but bought!

Moreover, if he can open a martial arts school, he must be good at martial arts and have a healthy body!
Rich, young, handsome, and healthy… What is this? This is a perfect candidate for a son-in-law!

His daughter Hongdie is already fifteen years old and still hasn’t gotten married. He is so anxious.

Moreover, this girl was still crazy and yelling that she wanted to practice martial arts. Is martial arts a woman’s job?
But in the end, he still agreed. It was not because there was a martial arts school with cheap fees, but because the one who is close to the water gets the moon first!

As for the tuition? If you give it now, won’t you have to take it back in the future? The other party will have to beg you to take it!
Thinking of this, Grandpa Sun couldn’t help but stroke his beard proudly.

Sun Hongdie stared at her father, feeling that he was plotting something.

Little did she know that Grandpa Sun was planning to sell off her daughter…

The braised pork head is very fragrant, and the homemade rice wine from Lao Zhang’s restaurant at the entrance of the alley is also good.

Fang Xi enjoyed the meal quite a bit, but was a little annoyed because Grandpa Sun asked Sun Hongdie to come over from time to time to serve food and add more wine.

But he didn’t care. He was Sun Hongdie’s teacher, and once a teacher, always a father.

Isn’t it the daughter’s duty to serve her father at meals?
…

night.

After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, Fang Xi hummed a tune all the way. Just as he was about to take out the key to open the door of the martial arts hall, he suddenly looked to the side.

In the cold wind of the night, it seemed that two dark objects were wriggling, like wild dogs.

“Stray kid?”

How amazing was Fang Xi’s eyesight? He saw directly that the person curled up in the corner in the dark was not a stray cat or dog, but… a person!

They were two skinny children with tattered clothes, looking like little beggars, huddled in the corner to avoid the wind and keep warm.

“Where are you beggars from?”

Fang Xi walked over and asked the older one.

The older one, with messy hair, raised his head and smiled ingratiatingly: “Uncle… We are from the land temple, but the temple is now occupied by a few beggars from outside… Please be kind and give us some food…”

This slightly older beggar looked like a child of twelve or thirteen years old, but Fang Xi observed his qi and blood and felt that he was probably about fifteen years old, which was a sign of long-term malnutrition.

“Life is so difficult… What’s your name?” Fang Xi thought of Zhang Mingting and couldn’t help but ask.

“Qing…Qingsang!”

Qingsang looked at the big man with pleading in his eyes.

If they had nothing to eat, they might starve to death the next day.

However, he saw the other party open the door, walk in, and then… bang!

The door slammed shut.

Qingsang lowered his head, the hope in his eyes gradually dissipated…

“Brother…I’m hungry!”

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

The smaller beggar murmured something, and it was unclear whether he was confused due to hunger or dreaming.

The cold wind still blows.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Bang!
Several white objects were thrown out from the wall and landed at their feet.

“Is this… a steamed bun? Ah Dai, hurry up… there are steamed buns to eat.”

Qingsang grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. How long had it been since he had experienced such a sweet and full feeling?

The Dai next to him was also grabbing a steamed bun and chewing it hard. It seemed that he was no longer a human being, but a beast!

…

The next day.

early morning.

Fang Xi opened the door of the martial arts gym and stretched lazily in the sunshine.

“Master!”

A timid voice sounded nearby.

“Oh? It’s you guys? Why aren’t you leaving yet?”

Fang Xi narrowed his eyes slightly.

A little bit of rice is a favor, a big bit of rice is a grudge.

If this beggar thinks he is easy to talk to and wants to get a long-term meal ticket, then…

“Thank you for the meal yesterday!”

Qingsang and Ah Dai kowtowed twice, then stood up and left.

Having been in the market for many years, he knew very well that he could not always rely on the kindness and charity of others…

“etc!”

At this time, Fang Xi suddenly stopped the two of them and said, “As you can see, I run a martial arts school. Since we are destined to meet, I will teach you a move!”

When little beggars go out on the street, they are easily bullied by adult beggars, after all, they are young and weak.

Qingsang stopped immediately and stared at Fang Xi with sharp eyes.

Fang Xi did not hesitate. He stretched out his right hand, put his five fingers together into a fist, swung it backwards, and suddenly swung it out!

BANG!
The air exploded.

“This move, Stealing the Moon, is most suitable for people of short stature… When performing it, remember to send the force from your feet to your waist…”

He explained a few sentences in detail.

This is not some kind of Qi and blood martial arts, it’s just a few small techniques attached to it.

Even if you have practiced to perfection, you cannot enter the stage of transformation of Qi and blood, and may instead harm your body.

It’s similar to a first-rate ‘killer move’!
But… I have to admit that it works very quickly! Once you have mastered it, it won’t work against masters, but it will definitely work against those who don’t know martial arts!

Especially this move, “Stealing the Moon”, when performed by a child, it focuses on the lower three routes, and if you are not careful, your eggs may be broken…

If this skill were to be used in a serious competition, he would surely be scolded by the audience.

But why would a beggar care about these things?
As for damaging their bodies? If they couldn’t get food, Qingsang and the other two might starve to death in a few days…

Compared to the immediate death, the subsequent damage is nothing.

“Okay, let’s go!”

After teaching the two beggars, Fang Xi went straight back to the martial arts gym.

This time, it was just a whim and I did it casually.

He also wants to see what the seeds he is planting now will become in the future.

After returning to the martial arts hall, he spread out a piece of white paper in his quiet room, held a brush, and began to practice calligraphy!
Yes, calligraphy!
According to the tricks taught by Linghu Shan and the secret book of Yuanhe Five Thunder Hands, the fourth step of a martial artist, the combination of spirit and strength, mainly depends on enlightenment.

But there are secret ways to speed up the process.

Yuan Heshan’s secret method is to practice calligraphy!
By constantly writing, adjusting the true strength of the wrist and fingers, and combining it with the brush, he strives to write words that have both form and spirit!
According to Linghushan, he was drunk at the beginning, splashed ink impromptu, copied an ancient essay, and then he broke through on the spot…

“The spirit and strength come together, the hands and power come together, and finally it falls on paper…”

Fang Xi looked at the word “永” he had written and frowned. It was too crooked.

But there is no other way. When writing, one has to control the true energy in the wrist to operate according to special rules, which is a very troublesome thing.

It’s like asking an ordinary person to write with dozens of pounds of stone tied to his arm. It would be good if he can write.

“It seems… I still need to accumulate.”

Fang Xi thought a little helplessly.
