Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 424: Body Refining Technique
The conflict between the younger generation of the Han family and Lin Qianxing ended with Han Tai being confined to his home by Han Xing.
Han Shouliang had only one question about Lin Qianxing's actions, which was why he didn't just take Han Tai's life?
It was not until this moment that Lin Qianxing truly felt the ruthlessness of his master.
He can even do this to his own family members, let alone outsiders.
But think about it, in this kind of cannibalistic social environment, if you are not careful you will be eaten until not even a bone is left. If Han Shouliang was not ruthless enough, how could he have lived such a comfortable life.
Several days passed quickly.
Han Shouliang's return did make the Han family feel much better.
The areas that were previously restricted in many ways are now able to move around with some ease.
However, if you want to fully restore it to its heyday, it will take time.
Han Shouliang was very busy during this period, so he had no time to take care of Lin Qianxing, so Lin Qianxing could only practice on his own.
He found Han Yun, a manager of the Han family, and asked him to help find some martial arts to show him.
After asking Lin Qianxing about his request, Han Yun directly showed Lin Qianxing all the Han family's martial arts.
Not surprisingly, these martial arts all have strange side effects.
But there are highs and lows.
The side effects are serious, just like in "Stepping on the Grass", and one needs to endure pain and torture.
The side effects are minor, perhaps just a few more scars on the body.
After looking around, Lin Qianxing became interested in a martial art called "The Art of Body Refining".
[ Body Refining Technique: A martial arts technique that involves swallowing various substances to refine the body. [Strange: After practicing, one will gradually lose the sense of pain.]]
Lin Qianxing is now suffering from the pain of needles pricking his feet when doing the "Walking Grass Step".
He wondered if he could become immune to the side effects of "Grass Step" by practicing this martial art.
That is to fight weirdness with weirdness.
The more Lin Qianxing thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him, so he began to practice.
"The Art of Body Refining" is not a difficult martial art to practice, at least it is easy to get started.
It only requires the practitioner to gradually swallow various substances to strengthen the body bit by bit.
At the beginning, you eat wood and develop a wooden body.
Once the wooden body is formed, it will become extremely tough and almost insensitive to pain.
Then eat soil and develop an earth body.
Once the earth body is formed, the body will have more flexible and plastic properties.
Then eat bones and build a strong body.
At this time, your body will become hard, and when you practice qigong, a layer of calcium will appear directly on the surface of your body.
Behind them are the stone body, bronze body, iron body, silver body, gold body, jade body, and divine body.
That is to say, you eat corresponding things to practice. Every time you practice one more thing, you will have one more characteristic and your strength will increase.
If you train to have an iron body, you are considered second-rate.
The silver body is considered first-class.
When you reach the golden body, you are at the top.
The jade body is the best among the best.
For the final divine body, there is no description here about what to eat or how to train it.
It seems to be just a guess.
Lin Qianxing didn't think about practicing to perfection, so he started practicing by eating wood that day.
He silently recited the mental method in his mind, ate wood sand, and practiced the body-refining technique.
The wood sand entered his stomach, accompanied by the silent recitation of the mental method, just like when he practiced the "Wood Breaking Fist" before. The wood sand was directly burned and turned into a warm current that spread into his body.
Lin Qianxing felt a little stiff wherever the warm current flowed into his body.
At the same time, a reminder of Lin Qianxing's physical improvement appeared in front of him.
He ignored the reminder and continued practicing.
After a while, he finished his practice.
With a thought, some subtle wood textures appeared on his body surface.
When Lin Qianxing knocked on it, he could hear a little bit of the sound of trees being knocked, and the feeling he felt was also numb.
He understood clearly.
It seems that when practicing this martial art, not only the sense of pain disappears, but even the basic sense of touch will probably be greatly affected.
However, compared to the sense of pain, the sense of touch still exists, it just becomes a little numb.
Lin Qianxing now felt that he had lost most of his sense of pain. He pinched his flesh with his fingers and squeezed it hard until bruises appeared, but he only felt slight pain.
I just don't know if it will affect the side effects of "Step on the Grass".
If he could alleviate the side effect of his feet feeling like they were being pricked by needles, he would be able to improve both of his martial arts at the same pace.
It was early morning.
The side effects of "Walking on the Grass" arrived as expected.
This time, the pain Lin Qianxing felt was no longer as unbearable as before.
It turned out that the side effects of "The Art of Body Refining" had taken effect.
Lin Qianxing showed joy.
This way, he won't have to hold on any longer.
As long as the two martial arts achieve a delicate balance, they can continue to improve.
Lin Qianxing thought that he would not be the only one who discovered that one could achieve a balance between the side effects of different martial arts.
However, since it has not been widely publicized, either the martial arts here are not prosperous enough, or the upper class has deliberately blocked the information.
Lin Qianxing is more inclined to believe that the upper class deliberately blocked the information.
The spread of martial arts itself is restricted. This thing itself is a weird thing and it is easy to cause chaos if you are not careful.
Even if this is not the case, just like in the world of "Changchun Kung Fu" that Lin Qianxing had experienced, controlling the channels for upward mobility is also a tacit understanding among all schools and factions.
Sighing, Lin Qianxing did not think deeply about this issue.
Changing the world is a long and arduous task, and he still needs to slowly accumulate strength. Before he has enough strength, it will be useless to think more.
September 13th.
This is the fifth day that Lin Qianxing has come to the Han family.
The Han family held a family meeting.
All the senior members of the Han family have arrived. Han Shouliang sat at the top, while Lin Qianxing, because of his special status, sat in the audience seats at the end.
"The Wang family destroyed our rice fields. How dare they do that?"
"Why wouldn't they dare? This isn't the first time!"
"Don't argue. The most urgent thing is to think about how to solve this problem..."
"The ancestors are back, let's go straight to the Wang family and demand an explanation!!"
" Do you think it's still the same now? We only have our ancestor, but the Wang family has four top cultivators!!"
…
These people were arguing a lot, but no one had any practical solution.
Lin Qianxing now understood the reason for the Han family's decline.
This generation is clearly lacking in succession.
This is how families work. If one generation fails to live up to expectations, the family line may be cut off.
Han Shouliang remained silent, also thinking about countermeasures.
Head-on confrontation is impossible.
The inner city has its own rules.
The three major families all abide by this rule tacitly.
Once one company becomes unreasonable, another company may take action to completely expel it from the game.
Unless you have enough strength to crush the other two companies, you would never do such a stupid thing.
"Since it is the minions' business, just leave it to them." Han Shouliang suddenly said.
In an instant, the meeting room fell silent.
The minions are the so-called gangs.
That is, the indirect power used by the families in the inner city to control the outer city.
What happened this time was that the Han family's minions were swallowed up by the Wang family's minions, and they directly lost a large piece of rice land.
If they want to get it back, they can just send a gang to snatch it back.
"Ancestor, which minion should we let go?" someone asked.
"How many minions do we have left?" Han Shouliang asked.
"The Blood Knife Gang, the Hidden Wolf Gang, the Eight Palms Gang... there are more than four hundred people in total. The Blood Knife Gang is the largest, with more than two hundred people." Han Xing replied.
In a city of more than 30,000 people, having 400 minions can be considered a very powerful force.
But you have to know that this is not an ordinary world, nor is it an ordinary city.
There is no shortage of food in the city, and theoretically at least 90% of the productivity can be liberated.
So four hundred people is not a lot.
At least compared to the Wang family and the Wan family, their influence in the outer city is not that great.
Those two families have at least 800 minions.
"Then let the Blood Knife Gang go, and send two first-rate strongmen from the family to follow them. Make sure we take back the rice land." Han Shouliang said.
At this point, everyone fell silent.
There are only a dozen or so top-notch wrestlers in the family.
These are the strengths they have cultivated with their own hard work.
What if the person sent out never comes back?
Han Shouliang was really disappointed about this.
He was still hoping that someone would step forward, but he didn't expect that no one was willing to answer.
"Okay, since no one is talking, let me call the names. Han Sheng, don't you have two first-rate strongmen under your command?" Han Shouliang said.
"Grandfather , you absolutely cannot do that!" The middle-aged man named Han Sheng said, "They are guarding the granary in the west of the city. If something goes wrong, it will be a huge loss even if we take the rice land back."
"Then Han Lianzhang, you send someone?" Han Shouliang pointed at another person and said.
"Grandfather, my people are also responsible for guarding the gates of the inner city..."
Soon, those people found excuses to refuse to contribute.
Han Shouliang sneered and said, "None of you are willing to contribute. Are you planning to let me do the fighting myself?"
"Ancestor, the leader of the Blood Knife Gang is also first-rate, similar to the leader of the Black Evil Gang. As long as we provide them with some weapons, the chances of winning are very high." said one person.
"What I want is not the chance, but the certain victory." Han Shouliang said coldly.
After hearing the sound, there was silence again.
When Han Shouliang saw this, even though he had foreseen it, he still couldn't help but sigh.
Just when he was about to use force to get people to help, Lin Qianxing spoke up and said, "Master, let me go. It's a good opportunity to stretch my hands and feet."
Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Lin Qianxing.
There are doubts, confusion, and surprise.
Han Shouliang frowned even more.
He had some understanding of his disciple.
He understood that Lin Qianxing always did things in a measured way and had his own unique insights on how to deal with people.
He has been listening for a long time this time and should have a general understanding of the situation so he won't act rashly.
"Are you sure?" Han Shouliang asked after a moment of silence.
"If he is just first-rate, he should not be a match for me." Lin Qianxing said.
In fact, this is true.
With the skills of [Lingxian] and the great magical power of Wanqiang Zhenjue, a first-class master would be killed directly without even having the chance to react.
From the very beginning, he and these so-called masters were not on the same level at all.
