Chapter 169 Shackles and Entry

In the afternoon.

The former Han family martial arts gym, now Li Yi's mansion, is filled with a fragrant aroma at this moment. This is because a pot of premium yellow mutton is stewed in the kitchen. The chef hired is the best in Sanyang City. Many good blood-replenishing medicines are added, and even a local treasure is added. This makes the already nourishing yellow mutton even more delicious.

But facing such delicious food, no one has an appetite

Especially Zhao Ge, he stood in the front yard with his hands behind his back, frowning and looking at the closed gate not far away. His mind was no longer on eating, but on waiting for news of the battle outside the city.

Li Yi challenged five masters of practicing Qigong and one powerful practitioner of Qigong from the Meng family to fight alone.

This situation is extremely serious.

But Zhao Ge was unable to do anything, because he could not intervene in a battle of this magnitude. Even if he risked his life, he could at most kill one of the opponents who had practiced qigong. But since the opponent had a strong practitioner of qigong, he could not even kill one of them. If he went there, he would not be of any help at all. Instead, he would cause more trouble and cause Li Yi to be distracted.

Instead of doing this, it’s better to stay here and wait for good news.

However, Zhao Ge had prepared himself mentally. If Li Yi lost, the few people in the Zhao family martial arts school would not survive today and would be buried together. He would naturally not tell these words to his disciples, because it was useless to say them out loud. It would only disrupt his composure and bring about some unnecessary troubles.

This kind of waiting is very painful.

Every minute feels like a year.

Zhao Ge didn't want to see the worst situation happen. He hoped that Li Yi could defeat the powerful enemy and resolve this disaster. After all, he had finally captured two martial arts halls, avenged the humiliation, and rebuilt the Zhao martial arts hall. If it collapsed again like this, he couldn't accept it.

As time passes.

It was not until the neighing of a wild horse was heard outside the courtyard gate that Zhao Ge, who was standing with his eyes closed in the front yard, suddenly opened his eyes.

Before he could take any action, he saw that the door of the mansion had been opened, and Li Yi's tall body appeared in his sight. There was no wound on his body, only a little blood of the enemy. At this moment, he was walking towards him with a brisk pace.

"Okay." Zhao Ge took a deep breath and his suppressed mood was suddenly released.

Li Yi returned safe and sound, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Master, what are you doing standing here? Hmm? What a nice smell! It's the smell of yellow sheep soup. It seems that I came back at the right time and caught the yellow sheep out of the pot." Li Yi took a deep breath and felt a lot more relaxed.

Obviously, this yellow sheep soup has added incredible mountain treasures, which can strengthen people's qi and blood.

"I'm glad you're back." Zhao Ge stroked his beard and smiled: "How was the battle? Was it dangerous?"

"It's not bad. The strong man who practiced the Gang Qi was not easy to kill. He was not dead after being shot twice and was even able to control the Gang Qi to fly. It's a pity that I caught him off guard. Even if he reacted quickly, it was too late. In the end, he was already at the end of his strength and could only die at the foot of Daqing Mountain." Li Yi said: "The remaining masters of practicing the Qi are not a concern. There is a woman who is quite strong. She practiced with me for a hundred breaths and finally died after exhausting all her Qi and blood."

"The Meng family in Qingzhou still has experts who are much stronger than the previous Jin Zhihuan and Han Tianbao."

Zhao Ge nodded and said, "That's right. The masters of the aristocratic families have top-level blood training methods, and they have a solid foundation since childhood. In addition, they will compete with each other in the aristocratic families. The warriors trained in this environment are much stronger than those of us who were born in the wild. But for you, Meng De, they are still not good enough."

"Of course." Li Yi said, "But this time I got the Fan family's method of training blood and entering the acupoints. After I break through to the training acupoints in the future, my strength will be even stronger, and I will be no less powerful than them. After killing these masters of the Meng family this time, I think we will have some peace for a long time. The City Lord Fan said that after I win this battle, the Fan family will mediate."

"If you're lucky, you can even be exempted from the ghosts and gods taking your life, but this is only limited to Sanyang City."

"Let's not talk about these later matters. Meng De, let's go and have dinner first. This time, your master asked Shouhou to buy ten jars of good wine, and we will not go home until we are drunk." Zhao Ge did not think about the subsequent troubles. He just felt that he had survived another hurdle and should celebrate.

Li Yi quickly stopped and said, "Master, I can't drink much and I get drunk easily, so forget it."

"That won't do. How can a hero like Meng De not drink?" Zhao Ge laughed, and then called Shouhou and several other disciples to hold a banquet.

Killing a powerful Lian Gang warrior, how could such a thing not be worth celebrating.

Although this incident just happened, it will spread throughout Sanyang City in a few days. By then, Li Yi's name will be famous throughout Xingzhou and he will become a well-known figure.

soon.

A private banquet was held at the mansion.

Zhao Ge, Shou Hou, Rong Niang, Zhao Qian, and the blood-training disciples of Zhao's Martial Arts School, Yuan Tianfei and Zhu Wei. Although Li Yi did not know these disciples, since Zhao Ge and others were willing to bring them to Li's Mansion to attend the banquet, they must be the core figures of Zhao's Martial Arts School and are trustworthy.

If it weren't for Zhao Ge's eyes, ordinary disciples of Zhao's Martial Arts School wouldn't even be able to meet Li Yi, let alone participate in a private banquet.

Everyone was chatting, drinking, and eating delicious food. The depressing atmosphere that seemed to be about to bring a storm was completely dispelled, and there was only laughter and joy.

Li Yi also enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation. After all, he had hardly had a rest since coming to the Four Seas and Eight Continents. He was either practicing or fighting against enemies, and even had to fight ghosts at night. Until today, with the death of a powerful practitioner, all these things have truly come to an end.

The banquet lasted until late at night.

Even a man like Li Yi was drunk. He staggered back to the room and fell asleep.

It was not until noon the next day that Li Yi, who had slept soundly all night, slowly opened his eyes and woke up.

I slept very soundly, and felt refreshed and relaxed all over.

He simply washed up and went out.

After walking around the mansion, he found Zhao Qian in the martial arts training ground. She was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed under the shade of a tree, practicing in meditation, trying to become an evolver.

However, Zhao Qian soon opened her eyes, with a hint of distress in her eyes.

Obviously, she failed in her practice.

"Zhao Qian, what's wrong? Are you stuck at some level?" Li Yi walked over and asked.

"Brother Yi."

When Zhao Qian saw the smile on Li Yi's face, she quickly stood up and bowed, then said, "Brother Yi, I can't progress past the second step of the practice you taught me. Although I can feel the cosmic energy that Brother Yi mentioned, I can't activate it and can't absorb it into my body."

"I've tried several times and failed every time."

As she spoke, her face became a little frustrated: "Maybe I don't have much talent and can't learn Brother Yi's practice method."

"Don't jump to conclusions. Continue to meditate and practice. I will help you guide the energy of the universe directly into your body and see if you can absorb it." Li Yi pondered for a moment and then found a solution.

"Then Brother Yi, I'll try again." Zhao Qian nodded immediately after hearing this. She didn't want to let Li Yi down, and then continued to practice.

Li Yi soon sat down beside him, pinched the treasure seal in his hand, and performed the White Bone Contemplation practice.

The surrounding cosmic energy was originally very thin, but with the help of the White Bone Contemplation practice, the cosmic energy gathered, and in just a moment, the cosmic energy around Zhao Qian's body became thicker. Then he guided his mind and poured the cosmic energy into Zhao Qian's body as quickly as possible.

Li Yi just didn't believe it. With such a large amount of cosmic energy rushing through her, couldn't Zhao Qian absorb a little bit?
As long as you take this first step, the door to spiritual practice will be opened.

After entering into a state of meditation, Zhao Qian soon discovered something unusual. The brilliant cosmic energy flowed throughout her body like a river of stars. She was immersed in it, and felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

And under the repeated impact of cosmic energy, the concentration of surrounding energy continues to rise.

Finally, after breaking through a certain threshold, the cosmic energy finally gradually merged with the cells in Zhao Qian's body and began to slowly penetrate into her body.

The door to Zhao Qian’s practice was opened, and she successfully became an evolver.

At this moment, all the cells in Zhao Qian's body were cheering and then began to continuously absorb the energy of the universe.

"Success, Brother Yi, I succeeded." Zhao Qian woke up from her meditation excitedly.

Li Yi also opened his eyes at this moment. He cancelled his practice of viewing the bones, and later discovered some clues during the guidance process.

No wonder people in this world are unable to open the door to spiritual practice.

He understood. The cosmic energy in this world was too thin and not concentrated enough. The warriors' bodies had lived in this world for a long time, which led to a decrease in their sensitivity to cosmic energy. In other words, the people in this world had degenerated and were unable to practice at all.

If you want to restart your practice, you not only need methods, but also a sufficiently concentrated cosmic energy and someone to help guide you. Only under this strong stimulation will the door to the body's evolution open again.

Otherwise, this door to spiritual practice will always be locked and cannot be opened at all.

"Now is not the time to get excited, Zhao Qian. You still need to continue practicing and see if you can attract the energy of the universe into your body without my help." Li Yi said again at this time.

"it is good."

At this moment, the little girl Zhao Qian regained her confidence. She was motivated only by progress, so she immediately adjusted her state and started practicing.

After a while, she entered a state of meditation.

Just like before, there was no problem and Zhao Qian could feel the cosmic energy floating around. Although it was not as abundant this time, after trying to guide it with her mind, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the cosmic energy could be introduced into her body with her mind and then was slowly absorbed by her body.

It happened once, and so did it the second time, the third time, and the fourth time. She really mastered the practice.

And as the number of attempts increased, the amount of cosmic energy she guided increased, and the efficiency of absorption was slowly increasing.

"Brother Yi, I can absorb the energy of the universe." Zhao Qian opened her eyes, her pupils were bright and she was in an extremely happy mood.

Li Yi nodded and said, "As expected, you can only practice normally after the lock on the door to cultivation on your body is opened. Otherwise, you will be stuck at that level like before and will not be able to move forward."

He understood that this lock came from this world, and was passed down from generation to generation by the people of this world.

In order to break the lock, only an outsider like Li Yi can do it, because only the White Bone Contemplation practice can gather so much cosmic energy and temporarily change the surrounding cosmic energy environment, thereby stimulating the human body to start the path of practice again.

If this is the case, there is no way that the practice of cultivation can be spread in this world.

Even if Zhao Qian learned the practice method, she could not teach it to others. The cosmic energy she could guide was very limited. She could not break the lock and open the door to practice.

"Brother Yi, I have learned how to practice cultivation. Will I be able to be reborn like you and become a genius in the future?" Zhao Qian's eyes flashed as she said with great anticipation.

“It depends on your speed of cultivation, but it is still very difficult to transform like me. However, after laying a foundation with the cultivation method, you will have no problem breaking through to the training of orifices. It will also be easy for you to become a strong man in the training of Gang realm in the future. The cultivation method is not suitable as mainstream practice in this world, it is only suitable for laying a foundation.” Li Yi said.

"That's enough. I will soon be able to surpass daddy." Zhao Qian said happily again.

"What are you talking about? You look so happy." Rong Niang heard the noise and walked over curiously.

Zhao Qian ran over, took Rong Niang's arm and said, "Sister, I have good news for you. With the help of Brother Yi, I have finally successfully started practicing. Brother Yi said that as long as I continue to practice, I will soon break through to the realm of practicing Qi, and I can become a powerful practitioner in the future, hehe."

"Junior sister, have you started practicing cultivation?" Rong Niang was very surprised.

She practiced cultivation with Zhao Qian and knew very well how difficult the cultivation method was.

Li Yi said at this moment: "Rong Niang, you came at the right time. Your cultivation method is probably stuck at the last level just like Zhao Qian's. You are unable to use your mind to guide the energy of the universe. This is because there is an invisible lock in your body that completely blocks your path to cultivation. I will help you open this shackle now, so that you can also start your cultivation and evolution."

"Invisible lock? Senior Brother, what does this mean?" Rong Niang asked curiously.

Li Yi said: "This is the shackle that the heaven and earth have placed on the people of your world. It is a natural evolution process. You don't need to pay attention to it. Start practicing meditation now, and you will soon find the reason."

"Then thank you for your help, senior brother." Rong Niang did not hesitate and began to meditate immediately.

Li Yi did the same thing as before, using the White Bone Contemplation technique as a guide to gather a large amount of cosmic energy, and then continuously flushed Rong Niang's body, stimulating her physical awakening, thus opening the door to spiritual practice.

And Rong Niang did not disappoint Li Yi's hopes. Like Zhao Qian, she broke the shackles and successfully absorbed the energy of the universe.

"Is this what it feels like to practice? It's amazing."

Rong Niang opened her eyes, with a look of surprise on her face: "Brother, I feel like my body has undergone subtle changes, and it seems to be getting stronger"

"You have just started your training. After a few months of persistence, the effect will be particularly significant." Li Yi said, "But you can't fall behind in your martial arts training. This kind of training method is a waste of time. Just practice it in your spare time. Otherwise, the gain will outweigh the loss."

Such a thin cosmic energy is destined to not take one far in spiritual practice, but if used to assist in martial arts, the effect will be surprisingly good.

"Okay, you guys continue to practice and try to become proficient as soon as possible. I will stay in the mansion for the next few days. If you have any questions, just ask me." Li Yi said.

Now that the two of them have made progress in their practice, he can rest assured and is also preparing to cross the border and leave.

However, before leaving this time, Li Yi still has a lot of things to do. After all, he has come here with great difficulty, so he naturally wants to gain something and cannot make a wasted trip.

Therefore, in the next few days, Li Yi asked Jin Dafu to find a teacher for him to learn the writing of this world. However, he had a good memory and learned very quickly. After only two days, he had almost completely mastered the writing of this world and could understand the methods of cultivation.

During this period, Li Yi also collected some elixirs for cultivation and prepared to take them back to Tianchang City.

Master Zhao Ge seemed to know that Li Yi was leaving, and took the initiative to use the connections of the Zhao's Martial Arts School to prepare elixir for Li Yi. At the same time, he handed over all the martial arts inheritance of the Zhao's Martial Arts School to him, from the methods of training the skin and bones to the methods of training the marrow and blood, as well as the fighting method of the Mountain-Shaking Fist.

Li Yi obtained the inheritance of two martial arts schools, the Zhao family martial arts school and the Han family martial arts school, which was already a huge gain. If he took it back to Earth, who knows how big a sensation it would cause.

This is a complete martial arts inheritance, and its value far exceeds any other technique.

However, Li Yi also took this opportunity to pass on his cultivation method to his master Zhao Ge and Shou Hou, allowing them to also enter the door. He hoped that after he left, Zhao's martial arts school would be able to produce some masters and talents.

Li Yi did not teach other people for a simple reason: he was not familiar with it.

After finishing these things, Li Yi began to pack up and prepare to leave Sanyang City. He originally wanted to leave the sniper rifle to Zhao Qian, but was sternly rejected by his master Zhao Ge. This weapon has been exposed. If it is left behind, it will bring disaster. It must be taken away and must not be left anywhere.

Li Yi thought it made sense. The existence of the sniper rifle had already been leaked, and keeping it would only do more harm than good.

In addition to the elixir and martial arts inheritance, Li Yi also took away fifty ghost bamboos, which means fifty years of life. He thought that although he could not use these things, he might be able to sell them for money. If they were easy to sell, he would go around the world to rob ghosts and gods and buy some goods.

During these few days, Fan Zhizhou found Li Yi again.

"Brother Li, the matter with the Meng family has been settled. The Meng family is willing to make concessions and cede Sanyang City to Brother Li. From now on, the incident of ghosts and gods taking away life will never happen in Sanyang City. They are also willing to reconcile, and the grudges will end here and will not be pursued further." Fan Zhizhou said.

"So straightforward?" Li Yi looked a little surprised.

Fan Zhizhou smiled bitterly, "Brother Li, you don't know that the powerful practitioner you killed was called Meng Kuohai. He was a martial arts genius that only appears once in a hundred years in the Meng family. His strength had reached the peak of practicing Gang, and he had a good chance of breaking through to the level of practicing God. Now that he is dead, how dare the Meng family continue to pursue the matter? Could it be that they really sent a powerful practitioner of practicing God? For the sake of Sanyang City, it is not worth it. Brother Li, you have the ability to kill a practitioner, so the Meng family must compromise."

"Very good, now I can leave Sanyang City with peace of mind." Li Yi nodded. Now that the last thing was done, he felt a lot more relaxed.

"Brother Li, are you leaving?" Fan Zhizhou was stunned for a moment. "Can you wait a few more days? I have contacted the head of the family and am willing to cooperate with you, Brother Li. As a token of sincerity, the Fan family is willing to teach Brother Li the methods of practicing Gang and even practicing the spirit."

"Of course cooperation is good, but let's do it next time. I have something to go back and deal with. I will come to Sihaibazhou after I finish it." Li Yi said.

"When will Brother Li come back next time?" Fan Zhizhou asked.

"Probably about two to three months." Li Yi said.

"That's fine." Fan Zhizhou nodded in acceptance. He could afford to wait for just two or three months, at least not three to five years.

Li Yi said: "I know that you, City Lord Fan, are very interested in cross-border matters. Next time we come to discuss this matter, I hope that City Lord Fan will be prepared."

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news." Fan Zhizhou said with some surprise.

"But after I leave, I don't want anything to happen to the Zhao family martial arts school." Li Yi then changed the subject and said in a very serious tone.

"Of course, it is not a problem for my Fan family to protect a martial arts school." This time, Fan Zhizhou used the Fan family as a guarantee instead of guaranteeing himself.

Li Yi nodded and said, "Very good, let's talk about cooperation next time we meet."
