Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 3 I didn’t expect that becoming the best in the world would be the easiest task
The Three Yangs Open the Tai is extremely fierce. It is a powerful swordsmanship that uses a goose feather knife. It has only 21 swordsmanship moves, each of which is fierce and can only attack but not defend, but it is also flexible and has infinite variations. It is much more complicated than the Exorcist Swordsmanship. Not only that, although this swordsmanship is named after the Three Yangs, it seems to be a route of opening and closing to overwhelm the opponent with force, but in fact it is a sinister and vicious way to stimulate the hidden power.

When Liu Mang was researching it, he knew that this was not a serious sword technique. The names were grand and imposing, such as "Ting Tian Li Di" and "Heng Sweeping Yangguan". From the names, it seems that they are actually about chopping with force and sweeping horizontally. However, these are all illusions. "Ting Tian Li Di" is a thrust from the back to the top, and I cannot say exactly what it targets; "Heng Sweeping Yangguan" is an upward strike followed by a kick, and it also targets unspeakable places. Moreover, each sword technique hides a hidden force, and a large amount of internal energy is consumed to shorten the fighting time, in order to prevent being seen through after a long battle.

Judging from this sword technique, the person who created it was definitely not a decent person. It is not clear whether it is the devil's way, but it is definitely not the righteous way. After all, although the righteous way also has some corruption, it still has to maintain its dignity. They can only reluctantly give up this powerful martial art that attacks the genitals and testicles.

Although the swordplay is not very serious, it is really powerful. Liu Mang felt the difference from the Exorcism Swordplay as soon as he started. It only has 21 moves, but it is more complete than the 72-move Exorcism Swordplay. When he drew his sword, Liu Mang felt that no matter where the enemy was, he could quickly change his moves and kill the enemy. He didn't have this feeling when he practiced the Exorcism Swordplay before. Every time he drew his sword, he felt that it was difficult to change his moves. It was really not smooth enough.

Liu Mang understood why very well, because the original version of the Exorcism Sword relied on the method of luck to increase the speed and force changes in moves. Once the method of luck was mastered, these flaws that were originally sluggish points where moves could not be changed would become traps to lure the enemy in because of the ability to change moves in time, causing the power of the Exorcism Sword to increase dramatically, becoming a unique skill that few in the world could rival.

Therefore, as long as you are fast enough, the connection between moves is actually not that important. Anyone who can make a hundred strikes in one second will be invincible in the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer.

But Liu Mang was not fast enough after all. The perfect swordsmanship like Sanyang Kaitai was the capital for his livelihood. As for the sword technique of Exorcism, it would be better not to learn it. With that much time, he could have perfected Sanyang Kaitai.

That's right, after a whole morning of practice, Liu Mang determined that the experience points accumulated by practicing Sanyang Kaitai were much faster than those of the Exorcism Sword Technique. This was not only because the sword technique was better, but also because each move of Sanyang Kaitai required the support of internal force. At the same time, he practiced Sanyang Gong together. Although this method of practice could not accumulate internal force, but Sanyang Gong was indeed practiced together, which was equivalent to practicing two kung fu at the same time. Coupled with the high level of sword technique, the experience accumulation was much faster than practicing sword technique and internal force separately. He felt that he could upgrade his internal force once every ten days!
There is a saying that no matter whether it is studying or exercising, as long as one can actually see the progress bar, the motivation of human beings will increase exponentially. Liu Mang thinks this sentence is right, because he is very motivated now. He practices for 3 hours every day for a whole month. He even practices before going to bed at night, which makes Wang Wan beside him unable to sleep well.

A month of hard work brought rich rewards. His internal strength was improved once, and the original third-rate internal strength increased three times, directly entering the second-rate rank. After that, Liu Mang planned to continue to improve his internal strength, but it would take him about 50 days of experience to improve his internal strength after the first improvement, so he simply used it to improve his swordsmanship.

Perhaps because it was just the beginning, his swordsmanship level was still very low. The 20 days of experience actually allowed him to improve his swordsmanship twice. Unlike the improvement of internal strength, the moment his swordsmanship improved, he felt countless memories flooding into his mind. He saw himself practicing swordsmanship day after day for years, saw himself chopping off robbers with the goose feather knife time and time again, and saw himself struggling to escape from a powerful enemy that he could not defeat, and finally returned to the practice room to practice swordsmanship, over and over again until he woke up.

The moment he opened his eyes, a tremendous murderous aura almost poured out, Liu Mang looked around, his eyes filled with coldness and cruelty, the sword at his waist was instantly unsheathed, and the Three Yangs Kai Tai was activated instantly, practicing each move in the training room, but it was very different from before the improvement. Now Liu Mang's sword moves were deadly and changeable, the sword lights were almost connected into one, and his internal force flowed on its own, giving rise to a lot of dark power, but compared to the vigorous practice when he first started, the dark power is now hidden deeper, and it is almost impossible to detect the hidden dark power from the movement!

After a long time, Liu Mang finished his practice and stood up, calming his agitated inner breath. When he opened his eyes again, his vision had regained clarity.

The two times of improving his swordsmanship brought him a big surprise, because he actually spent a full ten years in the illusion, and it was not just instilling his understanding of swordsmanship into him to forcibly improve his swordsmanship. This meant that he had gained sufficient combat experience and corresponding will tempering. He now understood what a cheat was, this was a miracle of time!

With the accumulated earth forming a mountain, Liu Mang is confident that he will be able to defeat Yu Canghai next year!
Now that we know the awesomeness of this plug-in, being the number one in the world is not a difficult task to accomplish. On the contrary, task one of making Wang Wan and Lin Pingzhi live past 60 years old and developing the escort agency into the number one force that surpasses the Sun and Moon Sect is difficult, because this is not something that can be solved by personal strength. Even if he practices martial arts to the level of breaking the void, these two tasks will still not be completed.

First of all, the two of them lived past 60. In the original novel, they both died early, well before 60. Who knows if they had any incurable diseases or congenital diseases? Another thing is, who knows if the two of them will suddenly become mentally ill and stop living. If they want to die, no matter how strong Liu Mang is, he can't save them. In addition, everyone has his mistakes. Even if he is the best in the world, he can't stay with them all day. If someone robs his house, he will be in trouble. Another thing is to develop the escort agency. How can it be considered to be better than the Sun Moon Sect? More money? More people? Or more masters? Even more pessimistic, more of everything? There is no fixed number for this!
If it was about making money, it would be easy, but if it was about surpassing the Sun Moon Sect in terms of personnel, then it would be extremely difficult. The Sun Moon Sect radiated outward from Hebei. In addition to the Central Plains, its influence reached as far as the Western Regions, Mobei, and Miaojiang. It was truly spread all over the country. Such a huge sphere of influence would even require the entire righteous path to unite to contend. You can imagine how many people there were.

In the book, six or seven thousand people were dispatched just to save Ren Yingying. This was just the peripheral organization controlled by Ren Yingying herself. In the later period, Ren Woxing could even gather tens of thousands of people to unify the martial arts world. These people were different from the escorts in his escort agency. They were all controlled by the Three Corpses Brain Pill and were elite teams that could fight and bleed.

Although there are nearly 5000 escorts in Fuwei Escort Agency, if Lin Zhennan ordered a rebellion, there would be less than 500 people willing to fight with him. After all, he is just the boss of these people, not their lord. They are just workers who get a salary of one or two silver coins every month. Why would they fight with their lives?
Of course, a salary of one or two taels per month is already very high, which can buy 400 kilograms of rice. The escort agency also provides food and accommodation, as well as food and meat on holidays. You should know that the monthly salary of a ninth-rank official in the Ming Dynasty was only about 5 shi, which is a little more than 900 kilograms, and he still has to be responsible for his own meals. In this comparison, as a bodyguard of the escort agency, he is no longer in the same class as ordinary people.

But it is not enough to make them risk their lives. As for their loyalty to the escort agency, it is almost the same as the loyalty of the outer members of the Sun Moon Sect to the sect. They are the type who can run away if they want to, and the outer members of the Sun Moon Sect number as many as hundreds of thousands!

In terms of numbers, the Sun-Moon Sect is invincible in the world, and all the righteous people combined are less than one-tenth of the others. The reason why the two sides are similar in strength is that hundreds of thousands of peripheral members are just franchisees under the banner, and they are unwilling to follow the Sun-Moon Sect in a favorable battle, let alone an unfavorable one. The Sun-Moon Sect has been fighting with the righteous for so long, and has never won a single battle. Small shrimps are unwilling to be cannon fodder.

Therefore, if Liu Mang wants to develop Fuwei Escort Agency into a super power with hundreds of thousands of escorts, it is out of the question. Not only is it impossible to recruit enough people, but even if enough are recruited, they cannot afford to support them. In addition to the escort business, Fuwei Escort Agency also has huge other assets. The fields in various places add up to nearly 300,000 acres. There are many shops in various cities in ten provinces. In addition to the escort business, after deducting expenses, the remaining amount each year is only 10,000 or 20,000 taels. If the money collected by various parties is omitted, the number of personnel can be tripled or quadrupled to 20,000, but this is the limit. The business of Fuwei Escort Agency is already saturated, and it is difficult to continue to open up new sources. If it wants to go further, it will touch the bottom line of the court. If it does not rebel or do evil, Fuwei Escort Agency has reached its peak.

If they want to surpass the Sun Moon Divine Sect, there is actually only one way to choose, that is to have far more masters than the Sun Moon Divine Sect to offset their numerical advantage. Liu Mang roughly calculated that it would take hundreds of first-rate masters, several top masters, plus himself, the best in the world!

After seeing such terrifying data, Liu Mang's eyes began to go dark. This was not about surpassing the Sun and Moon Sect, but more about surpassing the Ming Dynasty!

This is too difficult. Liu Mang instinctively sought a simpler way, for example, to weaken the Sun Moon Sect? It's a simple truth. If you want to be stronger than others, strengthening yourself is one way, and weakening others is also another way!
However, the system did not give him this opportunity. "Host, please do not take shortcuts. Lin Zhennan wants to surpass the Sun Moon Sect, which he believes is invincible. Weakening the opponent will not satisfy Lin Zhennan's requirements. Please act with caution."

Well, if it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. Liu Mang curled his lips and cursed the system for not being able to adapt!
Tasks one and two are not easy, and task four is not easy either. You can't have a child whenever you want. First, there must be someone willing to help you do so, which was quite easy to accomplish in that ancient feudal society. Secondly, you have to win the bid, which depends purely on luck. If you are unlucky, even decades of hard work will be useless. Thirdly, you have to have enough children. If you are unlucky, you may have to have great-grandchildren to meet the requirement. If you are lucky, it won't be a problem and you can finish it in a year.

From this perspective, the task that can be guaranteed to be completed in a relatively short period of time is Task Three. It's just the best in the world, so 20 years is enough at most. The only problem is that the Sword of Exorcism is a bit troublesome. Either he can bypass the requirements and practice directly, or he has to complete Task Four and then achieve perfection instantly. With his current attainments in Sword of Exorcism and the foreseeable level of internal strength when completing Task Four, it will be no problem for him to achieve perfection on the spot!
Hey! Liu Mang sighed. It was so hard for him. He had to carry on the family line and be a eunuch. This Lin Zhennan was too unhuman. He was not only a psychopath, but also had a bad brain. If he hadn't come, Lin Zhennan, who had no plug-in, would have had no choice but to castrate himself and practice martial arts. Then, as he practiced, his personality would change drastically. His wife and children would not understand and leave him. His brothers would not be able to stand him and abandon him. The people in the escort agency would not be able to stand him and stay away from him. Then, he would die alone in the hands of a righteous hero. Missions one, two, three, and four would all fail. It would be more painful than his previous life.
I didn't find out the number of people, it's all my guess
