Chapter 193: Free and Easy Foundation, Great Harvest
Most people tried to find out where the intelligent and eloquent Mr. Su Xinghe was, but to no avail, they stopped paying much attention.
But Li Ming's performance this time once again spread throughout the world.
He easily killed the old monster Ding Chunqiu from Xingxiu, and seriously injured Murong Fu without any effort. The disciple of Master Li had already reached the Grandmaster level, and killed Yu Canghai alone...
Although people in the martial arts world have long been accustomed to Master Li's powerful fighting ability, they still couldn't help but marvel after hearing these new achievements.
It was a good thing that Ding Chunqiu was executed. At least it got rid of a great threat to the martial arts world. Many people secretly applauded and cheered.
And the Xingxiu Sect disciples under Ding Chunqiu did not end up well either.
Without the old monster Xingxiu, they fell apart shortly after their escape and left the Xingxiu Sect one after another.
But these days they have caused unrest in the underworld and have made many enemies.
Soon, news spread one after another that these disciples of the Xingxiu Sect were killed by various martial artists after the split, and they finally got rid of their anger.
There were even warriors who keenly sensed the opportunity and immediately united to attack the Xingxiu Sea and directly raid Ding Chunqiu's lair.
Although they had several fierce battles with some disciples who stayed behind in Xingxiu Sea, they basically did not encounter any major resistance.
Soon, the Xingxiu Sect's headquarters was captured, and the sect was completely wiped out from the world.
And this group of warriors' work was not in vain. Ding Chunqiu had been running the Xingxiu Sect for so many years and had collected many good things, which all became the spoils of war for these warriors.
Without the old monster Xingxiu causing trouble, the martial arts world did not rest for long before it fell into a new round of fighting.
After a while, on the official road.
A convoy was moving forward, most of the vehicles in the convoy were carrying heavy cargo, and no one knew what was inside.
But in one of the spacious carriages, Li Ming was putting one hand on Wuyazi's wrist, transmitting the true energy of the Changsheng Creation Technique to him to heal his injuries.
Su Xinghe took care of his master carefully.
Looking at Wuyazi's current condition, it is much better than before.
He used to be a disabled person who couldn't take care of himself, but now he can do some simple movements like lifting and lowering his limbs.
My mental state is also much stronger than before.
He was no longer the sloppy-looking man he was when he was seen in the stone chamber before. Instead, he had been groomed, wearing new and clean clothes, with his hair tied behind his head, revealing his original appearance.
I have to say that even though Wuyazi is disabled, he looks very handsome now after a little care. I wonder how handsome he must have been when he was young.
No wonder Tianshan Tonglao and Li Qiushui are both old but still obsessed with him.
Li Ming felt helpless when he thought of those two people.
During this period of time, the two of them had been following nearby, coming to check on Wuyazi's condition from time to time.
They were also quite busy at other times and had fought several games privately, and the two were always evenly matched.
As enemies, they are much more ruthless than Yue Qingzhu. Once they start fighting, they aim to kill each other and their hatred can hardly be concealed.
If they hadn't taken Wuyazi into consideration, they would have fought even more fiercely.
However, Li Ming can understand this kind of hatred.
The "I Am the Only One in the Eight Desolations and Six Directions" skill practiced by the Child-Girl of Tianshan can keep her youthful appearance for a long time, and is the top-notch skill of the Xiaoyao Sect. However, Li Qiushui, out of jealousy of her, secretly attacked her at the critical moment of her practice when she was at her weakest, causing her to maintain the underdeveloped body of a child for most of her life.
In retaliation, Tong Lao took advantage of Li Qiu Shui's unpreparedness and attacked her secretly, disfiguring her with a knife, so that Li Qiu Shui had to wear a veil all year round.
This hatred cannot be reconciled and will only grow deeper with the passage of time.
Li Ming could only sigh that the internal relations of the Xiaoyao Sect of Wuyazi's generation were really chaotic.
However, after a long time, he found that the two men were basically the same in strength, and it was impossible to tell who was winning after fighting, so he just didn't bother to care.
During this period, he was on the road with Wuyazi, Su Xinghe, the Eight Friends of Hangu and others, and used his free time to help Wuyazi heal his injuries many times.
According to his ability, Wuyazi would not be able to recover so quickly.
However, after leaving the Deaf and Mute Valley, Li Ming took the time to completely master the hundred years of internal energy that he had absorbed from Wuyazi.
Although he had absorbed this amount of internal energy without any stagnation through the Xiaoyao Heart Sutra and was able to use it, it was only like having an extra amount of wealth out of thin air that he could use at will but he did not have a deep understanding of it.
And now, it is equivalent to having sorted out the wealth in his hands and deposited it all in his own warehouse.
The level of mastery is naturally incomparable.
After digesting Wuyazi's internal strength and the key points of Beiming Divine Art contained therein, as expected, Li Ming's realm finally broke through again!
Not only did he break through, but he also leaped three small realms in a row.
He had just stepped into the Grandmaster realm, from the first level of the first turn, and had directly leaped to the second level of the first turn like a rocket!
The Xiaoyao Heart Sutra also successfully broke through to the peak of the seventh level!
After entering the second level of Grandmaster, Li Ming's body also began to change rapidly.
Within a few days, Li Ming's physical strength completely transformed from the inside out. He broke free from the shackles of ordinary warriors and possessed stronger martial arts potential!
Now, Li Ming can mobilize his true energy at will, and it will have the same power as his previous full-strength attack.
After reaching this realm, the martial arts he mastered and the power he unleashed improved by leaps and bounds, and were on a completely different level from before.
This terrifying improvement made Li Ming sigh with emotion.
It seems that the feeling of taking shortcuts is still tempting.
If one practices martial arts normally and wants to advance from the first level to the second level of Grandmaster, it is almost as difficult as ascending to heaven.
How many great masters have spent their long lives without achieving their goal.
The second level is basically the limit that the grand masters who are still active in this land can achieve.
Li Ming had heard that the only people who could reach the third level were Zhang Zhenren of the Wudang Sect and the mysterious guardians of the Ming Dynasty court.
As for whether there is such a master in the Shaolin School, Li Ming is not sure.
However, after reaching the second level, Li Ming glanced at the system panel, took a deep breath, and smiled bitterly.
If you want to improve your realm by relying on the system, the attribute points required are simply enormous.
Even at the rate at which Li Ming earns attribute points now, it will take many years.
I am still using cheats. If I rely solely on my own talents and practice hard, it will be a long time before I can achieve success.
It seems that the third transformation is really as difficult as ascending to heaven!
When he thought about the difficulty of this, Li Ming admired the extraordinary people like Wudang Zhang Zhenren very much.
I couldn't help but think that if I had the chance in the future, I would definitely visit him.
It was precisely because Li Ming's realm had leaped forward that he was able to activate the Changsheng Creation Technique more efficiently, and naturally the speed of treating Wuyazi was also greatly accelerated.
Soon, Li Ming withdrew his hand and ended the treatment.
Su Xinghe also hurriedly helped Wuyazi turn over and considerately covered him with a blanket.
They have been traveling a lot recently and the carriage is bumpy. Su Xinghe was afraid that Wuyazi couldn't bear it.
Li Ming closed his eyes for a moment and concentrated his energy. With the operation of the Xiaoyao Heart Sutra, the true energy he had just consumed recovered at an extremely fast speed, and he didn't even feel much tired.
Opening his eyes again, Li Ming was thinking about the key points of Tianshan Six Yang Palm and Life and Death Talisman.
Recently, on the road, Tianshan Tonglao had taken the time to teach him this unique skill. Although Tianshan Tonglao was arrogant, she had actually accepted Li Ming as the leader.
The Tianshan Six Yang Palm, like the Tianshan Zhemei Hand, belongs to the Xiaoyao School's martial arts and has something in common with each other, so Li Ming naturally learned it very quickly.
Now I have basically mastered it.
The Life and Death Talisman is called a hidden weapon, but in fact it has no entity and can be used with the help of some liquid.
Once it penetrates into the acupuncture points of the human body, it cannot be removed, and after it occurs, the person's life will be worse than death.
Unless you take the relief medicine made with the unique secret method of Xiaoyao Qixue, or directly use the Tianshan Six Yang Palm to remove the life and death talisman.
After thinking about it, Li Ming reached out, picked up the kettle next to him, unscrewed the lid, and guided it with his finger.
The clear water in the kettle turned into a stream of liquid and flew into the palm of his hand.
Li Ming then clasped his hands together and used his internal strength.
A moment later, when he opened his palm again, the water in his palm had turned into a piece of ice, emitting cold air!
Li Ming nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that I have already mastered the Life and Death Talisman. All I need is someone to let me test its effects.
After doing all this, Li Ming lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.
The surrounding scenes are becoming more and more familiar.
With the arrival of spring, the weather is getting warmer and the trees along the road are gradually turning green.
It seems that we are not far from Qixia Town.
After leaving the Deaf and Mute Valley, Li Ming and his group did not return to the Seven Heroes Town immediately. Instead, they followed Su Xinghe to retrieve the savings from the Xiaoyao Sect's treasure house that he had hidden for many years.
In Li Ming's memory, the headquarters of the Xiaoyao Sect should be in Dali, which is a long way away. It was where Wuyazi and Li Qiushui lived in seclusion.
He originally thought that the treasure house was also in Dali, so he might have to make long-term plans.
But unexpectedly, it was hidden not far from the Deaf and Mute Valley.
After Li Ming and Su Xinghe found it, they took back all the good things, and thus formed this convoy.
He also let his apprentices experience what it was like to be a bodyguard.
Speaking of this wonderful science, Li Ming was not disappointed.
When he first got it, Li Ming took a quick look at it and was shocked by the vast breadth of content.
The Xiaoyao Sect's foundation is spread across all fields and is almost all-encompassing.
Li Ming casually flipped through some books on alchemy and medicine making, and was very surprised.
It not only records the unique secret methods of refining elixirs that he has mastered, such as Yiqi Powder, Xiaopojin Pill, Jiuzhuan Bear Snake Pill, Duanjin Fugu Pill, etc.
There are even more methods of refining pills with various functions and levels that he has never heard of.
Although many of the recipes are impossible to replicate because the materials required are too demanding or have become extinct, the remaining ones are enough for Li Ming to use.
As for the content in other areas, there is even more.
When Su Xinghe was learning the skills, he only learned a small part of it, but he was able to teach the Eight Friends of Hangu who were experts in various fields.
If all these inheritances were transported back and Yang Guo and others were allowed to concentrate on classification and research, or even if they were only taught the basics, who knows how many talents they could produce for their own martial arts school!
Li Ming couldn't help but fantasize in his mind.
In addition to these, there are also a large number of martial arts classics from various schools and sects around the world.
Although the Xiaoyao Sect has its own extremely advanced martial arts, it is also keen on collecting various martial arts from all over the world for research.
Except for some relatively high-end and mysterious martial arts, such as the Six Meridians Divine Sword of the Dali Duan family, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms of the Beggar Gang and the Seventy-two Shaolin Kung Fu, the rest basically have manuscripts, and even include secrets such as the Beggar Gang's Dog Beating Stick Technique.
Li Ming couldn't help but be curious about how the Xiaoyao Sect got hold of so many martial arts from various schools. Could it be that they relied on their own high martial arts skills to steal from each school one by one?
However, it can also be seen that the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect has some obsessive-compulsive disorder and collecting addiction.
Although time has passed and many martial arts have become outdated or disappeared from the world, there are so many reserves that still have considerable research value.
Li Ming did not waste it and simply brought them all back to the martial arts gym.
Add to that other things accumulated by the Xiaoyao Sect, such as precious materials, and it was possible to have such a huge convoy.
But fortunately, there were basically no accidents along the way, and we were almost back to Qixia Town.
There were some short-sighted bandits who wanted to rob people on the road, but they basically hit a wall.
There was no need for Li Ming and others to take action, as Yang Guo and other disciples easily dealt with them.
All in all, this trip to the Deaf and Dumb Valley was truly fruitful!
Li Ming was just thinking when he heard the sound of horse hooves. Yang Guo rode his horse to the small window of the carriage and said to Li Ming.
"Master, there is a tea stall on the road ahead. We have been traveling for half a day and everyone is tired. Why don't we take a rest?"
"Row!"
Li Ming agreed without thinking, and Yang Guo immediately went to convey the order to his fellow disciples.
This long journey gave the lively and active Yang Guo a great time.
Soon, the convoy arrived near the tea stall. The disciples arranged the carriages and dismounted to rest.
When the tea stall owner saw that there was a customer coming, he hurried over to greet him with a smile.
Li Ming also came out of the carriage to get some fresh air.
But as soon as I arrived at the tea stall, I saw a few figures standing up in a panic and walking in the opposite direction.
He took a closer look and couldn't help but chuckle.
It turned out that he ran into an acquaintance, it was Murong Fu and his party!
Previously in the Deaf and Dumb Valley, Murong Fu was severely injured by Li Ming's attacks and almost lost his life.
After Bao Bu Tong and Feng Bo'e dug him out, the group hurriedly left the Deaf and Mute Valley.
After treatment, Murong Fu finally recovered.
Now, he still had medicine applied and bandaged all over his body, and he looked haggard, no longer looking like the nobleman he used to be.
It seems that the battle in Deaf and Dumb Valley dealt him a heavy blow.
Originally, they, including Wang Yuyan and Duan Yu, were resting here, but unexpectedly, they ran into Qianming Martial Arts School and others.
After recognizing the leaders Lin Pingzhi and Yang Guo, they stood up in panic and tried to get away.
But Murong Fu's injuries had not yet healed and he had difficulty moving, so he was caught by Li Ming.
Swish!
With a flash of his figure, Lin Pingzhi appeared in front of them like a breeze, causing several people to pause.
When he looked up, he saw Lin Pingzhi's unfriendly eyes and placed his fingers lightly on the hilt of the sword.
At the same time, Li Ming also sat down and knocked on the table.
"Master Murong, don't worry. I am in a good mood today and will not attack you. Please finish your tea."
