Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Xia Po's current cultivation level has reached the peak of the True Martial Realm. Although he has no idea what the level above the True Martial Realm is or how to reach it, he firmly believes that this is definitely not the pinnacle of martial arts!
If my previous reasoning is correct, then the martial arts foundation must be followed by the martial arts golden elixir, which solidifies the liquefied true energy in the body.
So here comes the question, if the liquefaction of Qi is to cool down and pressurize the Dantian, how to solidify it?
It definitely couldn't be frozen into ice like water, because he had tried it before and almost froze himself to death without allowing the true energy to solidify.
In the world of cultivation, there is a huge gap between the foundation-building stage and the golden elixir stage. If a monk in the foundation-building stage wants to reach the golden elixir stage, it can be said that it depends entirely on luck.
Different from the need to take Foundation Establishment Pills during the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Golden Pill Stage does not require any external force. As long as the opportunity comes, you can naturally break through to the Golden Pill Stage.
Xia Po thought that his golden elixir in the world of cultivation should be about the same. It requires some special methods to reach the true martial arts realm, but if you want to reach the golden elixir of martial arts, you only need to practice, and the rest is left to luck.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry when practicing, and focused on cultivating his sword, nourishing his mind, and drawing talismans and refining elixirs.
In order to find opportunities to break through to the golden elixir of martial arts, he especially likes to walk around recently.
On this day, Xia Po heard that a new martial arts gym had opened in Kyoto City.
This martial arts school was extremely generous and threatened to invite all the martial artists in Kyoto to drink.
The culture of warriors had a distorted history more than a hundred years ago. At that time, it could be said that every person was a warrior, but most people could not even reach the level of tomorrow.
Now more than a hundred years have passed, and that era has long since become history. However, despite this, warriors are still more prosperous than any other time period in the Tianyuan Dynasty's history of more than a thousand years.
In the city of Kyoto, there are a total of thirteen grandmasters, which is a very terrifying number.
During the Tianyuan Dynasty, Xia Po had never heard of the number of grandmasters in Kyoto exceeding double digits.
This is true for all masters, not to mention some warriors who have just entered the acquired world. There are more and more of them in Kyoto City. If this martial arts hall dares to say this, it must be full of knowledge.
In response, Xia Po's lips raised a smile, and he actually got into the group of warriors, preparing to drink the free wine.
He asked around all the way, and when he found this martial arts gym, he looked helpless.
It turns out that the so-called inviting all warriors to drink is just a gimmick.
The warriors who come here can indeed drink, but it’s just such a small cup and it’s gone in one sip. Who can drink enough?
Moreover, there were so many warriors that they had to queue for a long time. Which warrior would queue for such a long time just to drink a small glass of wine?
There were many martial artists who were as dissatisfied as Xia Po, and they all clamored that the owner of the martial arts hall was unkind.
Just as the surrounding voices were denouncing the practices of this martial arts school, a loud voice sounded.
"I said I would invite all the warriors in Kyoto City to drink, but I didn't say how much they drank. It was your own misunderstanding. How can you still blame me?"
Looking in the direction of the sound, an extremely strong and fat old man stood at the door of the martial arts gym, patting his belly with a simple and honest look on his face.
But Xia Po raised his lips.
"Good guy, this is the first time I've seen such a fat grandmaster."
Martial artists who can become grand masters are usually those who have been practicing martial arts since childhood, work very hard, and cannot slack off at all.
Therefore, the consumption is much greater than that of ordinary people. Ordinary people want to gain weight while practicing martial arts?
How much does it cost to eat in one meal?
Although it is rare, it is not difficult to understand. After all, some people are born like that and can become fat even after drinking cold water.
The fat man's voice immediately shocked the whole audience. After all, most of the people who wanted to drink here were acquired warriors. They didn't dare to fart in front of the Grandmaster.
Just when everyone felt bored and were about to leave, the fat man spoke again.
"As long as someone can defeat my apprentice, I will invite all the warriors in Kyoto to drink as much as they want! Drink as much as you want!"
As he said that, he pushed a young man out.
This young man is also a fat man. His belly is even bigger than that of his master. He also has a simple and honest smile.
Xia Po looked at it and saw that he was born with inner strength and was twenty-six years old.
Those who can achieve innate achievements before the age of thirty are basically extremely rare geniuses, and they still have to spend a lot of money.
At the age of twenty-six, we have reached the middle stage of innateness...
There is indeed something.
Xia Po also saw what the old fat man was thinking.
To put it bluntly, it is a gimmick to gather a large number of warriors in Kyoto City. These warriors do not need strength, they only need to have a mouth.
Then when the time is right, he will push his apprentice out and show off his appearance, letting these warriors know that he has such an awesome apprentice.
As for the martial arts competition...
The probability is too small in comparison. At the age of 26, in the middle stage of innateness, such a genius cannot be more than a slap in the face even in Kyoto.
And would those geniuses come to this martial arts gym for free drinks?
And those powerful elders cannot shamelessly compete with a junior in public, so they are basically incomparable.
After these warriors know about it, they will definitely discuss it privately. Soon the name of his martial arts gym will be spread among the warrior circles in Kyoto City, and it will be much easier to recruit disciples.
I didn't expect that this guy, who looks so honest on the outside, has so many calculations in his heart.
Tsk tsk tsk, it doesn’t make any sense.
Xia Po wanted to leave again, but at this moment, he heard a voice from the crowd.
"Oh? And there are such good things?"
This sound made Xia Po feel familiar. Looking over there, he saw a tall and thin young man standing out from the crowd, looking at the fat master and apprentice with a smile on his face.
Seeing this person, Xia Po's eyes narrowed and he murmured.
"Good boy, I haven't seen such great progress in many years, and you are already in the late stage at the age of twenty-three? You are really terrible."
This person is Liu De whom I met a few years ago. After such a long time, the other person's face has become less immature and more mature. Although there is a smile on his mouth, his eyebrows are slightly wrinkled, as if there is something wrong with him.
trouble.
Seeing this man, almost all the warriors were discussing something. Xia Po also listened secretly. He probably did something very bad and was expelled from the palace.
However, he didn't pay attention, but looked at the other party silently, anticipating his movements.
The old fat man didn't react much after seeing him, he just smiled.
"As expected of Kyoto City, it is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. If that's the case, then little brother, come up and compete with my apprentice."
After he finished speaking leisurely and contentedly, he turned back to look at his apprentice with a bitter look on his face.
"Why is there such a young innate energy? What are you doing here blindly coming to me if you don't practice martial arts with such a good talent?"
After complaining, he solemnly said to his apprentice.
"In order to open this martial arts gym, your master and I have spent all our money. If you lose, let me invite these warriors who are better drinkers to drink. This martial arts gym will really not be able to open.
!Give me a good beating!"
After hearing this, the fat apprentice shook the fat on his face and nodded.
"You don't have to be too afraid. Your teacher is at least a first-generation grandmaster. I will help you secretly when the time comes. Unless you are a grandmaster, you won't be able to tell."
After patting the apprentice on the shoulder and whispering something in his ear, he left. The people around him also made way for Liu De. The two young men saluted each other, and the battle was about to break out!
