Inside the house, the old man sat at the head seat and took out two martial arts manuals from his怀.
"I am Zhao Lie, the master of the Lieyang Martial Arts School. You can just call me Master Zhao from now on."
With that, Zhao Lie handed the two manuals to Su Xian.
"These are the manuals for the Pure Yang Art and the Lieyang Fist. Both are first-grade, enough for you to cultivate to the perfected stage of the Skin Polishing Realm!"
"Cui Hao! Come here!"
Zhao Lie shouted towards the door. In a short while, a burly man walked in and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master. May I ask why you summoned me?"
"This is a new person learning martial arts. You will teach him the Pure Yang Art and the Lieyang Fist from now on."
The curator Zhao Lie nodded slightly, looked at Su Xian, and then said again:
"This is my eldest disciple, Cui Hao. He will be responsible for teaching you for the next month."
"Remember to hand these two manuals to Cui Hao when you leave the pavilion in the evening. Do not take them outside."
Listening to the arrangements made by Curator Zhao Lie, Su Xian's expression was calm.
After all, it was only five taels of silver, and he didn't expect the pavilion master to teach him personally.
Cui Hao turned to look at Su Xian and said with a slight smile, "Junior disciple, please follow me."
Su Xian nodded slightly and followed Cui Hao out of the room, arriving in the middle of the courtyard outside.
"Junior disciple, take a look at the Pure Yang Art and the Lieyang Fist twice first. After you've read them, you can ask me if there's anything you don't understand."
Cui Hao looked at Su Xian and scratched his head.
His cultivation was only at the perfected stage of the Skin Polishing Realm, and he didn't have much of an idea on how to teach Su Xian.
"Okay!" Su Xian nodded, then picked up the two manuals and began to read.
The five realms of martial artists are: Skin Polishing, Muscle Forging, Tendon Refining, Bone Quenching, and Organ Nourishing.
To break through from the perfected stage of external martial arts to the Skin Polishing Realm, the most important thing is to sense the power of qi and blood and be able to control it!
Within the Pure Yang Art, there is a technique called the Pure Yang Stance, which allows one to sense and control qi and blood more quickly.
As long as the Pure Yang Stance is cultivated to the perfected stage, one can control qi and blood and enter the Skin Polishing Realm!
As for the Lieyang Fist, it is a martial skill that uses the power of qi and blood to unleash fist techniques like the scorching sun. With one punch, it carries waves of heat and is infinitely powerful!
Su Xian carefully read through the two manuals twice.
He discovered that in the "Demon Strategy," the names of the Pure Yang Art and the Lieyang Fist were already listed on the first page.
"Does it only require reading twice to be recorded? Or does it require basic understanding to be recorded?"
Su Xian pondered and decided to try it out later.
Afterward, Su Xian asked all his questions about the Pure Yang Stance within the Pure Yang Art.
Cui Hao answered them one by one and then demonstrated the stance of the Pure Yang Stance a few times for Su Xian.
It was the strange postures he had seen the people in the courtyard performing just now.
Su Xian imitated the stance and indeed felt a slight flow of qi and blood.
However, Su Xian could only feel a faint trace of qi and blood flow, and he was still a long way from controlling the flow of qi and blood and breaking through to the Skin Polishing Realm!
"Junior disciple, you can practice on your own for now! I'll be over there. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me."
Cui Hao saw Su Xian practicing diligently and prepared to leave.
"Okay!"
Su Xian nodded and then walked to a dark corner of the courtyard, preparing to test the limits of the Demon Strategy!
Just as Su Xian was about to try, a man with a slightly lewd appearance quietly walked over, looked at Su Xian, and showed a mysterious smile:
"Are you new to practicing martial arts? Do you want to quickly sense and master qi and blood?"
Looking at the man in front of him, Su Xian frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
"I have a bowl of medicinal soup here, it only costs three taels of silver!"
"I guarantee that after drinking it, you will be able to clearly sense qi and blood! It will also speed up your external martial arts cultivation!"
The man looked at Su Xian, a flicker of light flashed in his eyes, and his expression was confident, as if he had already got him!
Hearing this, Su Xian's eyes narrowed. Although he knew that martial arts were flourishing in this world and there were legends of elixirs!
But, was it really that good?
He couldn't find the book by its title. You could try searching for the author, maybe the title was changed!
Looking at the man in front of him, Su Xian shook his head.
"No, thank you!"
Su Xian directly refused. He had no intention of using this kind of medicinal soup. Who knew if it had any side effects.
Moreover, with the 123 years of lifespan in the Demon Strategy, Su Xian was 100% confident he could break through to the Skin Grinding realm!
Why would he need this bowl of soup of unknown origin?
"Is that so?"
Hearing Su Xian's refusal, the man's expression darkened.
He could tell from Su Xian's attire that he was a poor wretch, who had scraped together five taels of silver from who knows where to learn martial arts.
He had originally wanted to help him out, but unexpectedly, he was refused!
Without the help of his soup!
Within a month, it would be impossible to cultivate the Pure Yang Stance to completion and break through to the Skin Grinding realm!
"Hmph! Ungrateful brat, I hope you have enough money left for next month's training fees!"
The man glanced at Su Xian with pity in his eyes, then turned and left.
"Su Xian, what did that guy Song Zheng say to you?"
As soon as the man left, Cui Hao quickly came up to Su Xian and asked urgently.
Su Xian explained what had just happened to him.
"This Song Zheng!"
Cui Hao couldn't help but get angry upon hearing this, then quickly asked, "You didn't agree to him, did you?"
Su Xian shook his head.
Seeing that Su Xian hadn't agreed, Cui Hao finally felt relieved and explained to him.
"That's good. After drinking that soup, although it can let you clearly sense your qi and blood."
"It comes at the cost of burning your qi and blood. After drinking a bowl, you'll have to lie down for at least half a month!"
"Moreover, this burning of qi and blood is extremely violent. Even if you sense it clearly, it's very difficult to control, and you won't be able to break through to the Skin Grinding realm!"
"It's a good thing you didn't agree!"
After hearing Cui Hao's words, Su Xian nodded slightly. It was just as he had thought, there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world.
"Won't the Pavilion Master say anything about him doing this? Won't anyone retaliate against him?" Su Xian asked with some confusion.
Cui Hao shook his head and gave a wry smile, "Master doesn't concern himself with these matters."
"If you can be tricked by him, it can only be said that you are seeking quick success and instant benefits. Master also looks down on people like that."
"As for retaliation..."
Cui Hao paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "Song Zheng is from the Song family of Black Water County, and they have some status in Black Water County."
"Moreover, that guy Song Zheng also knows how to pick his targets."
After speaking, Cui Hao glanced at Su Xian, his meaning was self-evident.
"So that's how it is!"
Su Xian looked at his own attire and nodded in understanding. So he only targeted poor wretches.
"Remember, before you officially enter the Skin Grinding realm, don't consume anything related to qi and blood."
Cui Hao warned Su Xian, then left.
"Human hearts are treacherous, even tricking the money of poor wretches!"
Su Xian sighed, then shook his head and cast his consciousness into the Demon God Codex in his mind.
Looking at the 123 years of demon lifespan on it, Su Xian's mind moved.
"Demon God Codex, let me see your limits!"
"Give me some points!"
As Su Xian's mind moved, twenty-three years of lifespan were invested into the Pure Yang Skill!
The next moment!
