The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 17: Settlement of Accounts, Perfection
Fan Tiehu is not as talented as Yi Huai, nor as comprehension as Xu Cheng, but he has two qualities that make Chu Zhou take notice of him.

First, he was born with strong muscles and a tall stature. Even before he practiced martial arts, he could easily carry objects weighing hundreds of pounds.

Please note that he is only fourteen years old, but his physique is no less than that of an ordinary adult.

But this is nothing, the most important thing is his character.

Perhaps his personality is similar to his father's. Although he is not good at speaking, he has a strong character and is serious about his work. He carries out Chu Zhou's orders without any compromise.

It seemed that he felt nothing about the physical fatigue and pain.

When he first started practicing martial arts, his skills weren't impressive enough, he just followed along mechanically, but once he got on the right track, the benefits began to show.

Xu Cheng can train for two hours after training for one hour.

After Yi Huai had exhausted all his strength and his muscles were sore, he lay on the ground and refused to move, but he was still able to complete the established training plan without fail.

His growth is a process of moving forward step by step, making steady progress, and every effort he makes is rewarded.

Three months is certainly not enough, but Chu Zhou can clearly feel his progress.

At this rate, in another three months, he should be able to master both the Qi and blood, condense his strength, and become a martial artist.

Don’t think that this speed is slow. Compared with Chu Zhou, it is nothing.

But if you were placed in the Baisha City Martial Arts School, becoming a martial artist in six months, even if you had enough resources, you would be called a "genius".

Take Wei Fangjie for example. He was taught by his father and had been soaking in various medicinal baths since he was a child. But when he really started practicing martial arts, it took him nine months to become a martial artist.

And this was enough for him to brag about everywhere.

Of course, he did have shortcomings. The biggest problem was that he was not very literate. He went to a private school, but only for one year.

However, this can be learned, and Chu Zhou naturally has no time to teach, so Xu Cheng took on this task.

Chu Zhou's thoughts were flying as he measured the progress of his three fellow apprentices' cultivation. He also kept talking and gave them instructions. Only after he had guided them to completely enter the state of cultivation did he slightly tilt his head and look elsewhere.

This house previously belonged to Taoist Xuanzhen. It is the best house in the entire Xuanzhen Temple, not only because of its layout, but also because of its large area.

When Chu Zhou moved in, a lot of changes took place, such as this extra-large wooden barrel used for medicinal baths.

For example, there is a long table next to the wooden barrel.

At this time, there were a lot of papers on the table, scattered around, and on top of them was a bound secret book.

That’s right, this is the second optimized “The Angry Dragon Turns Over the River”, if we follow the saying in the previous life, it is also the “The Angry Dragon Turns Over the River Version 2.0”.

I guess even the creator of "The Wrath of the Dragon" would find it specious.

Of course, according to the rating of this world, he still has middle-grade martial arts, because the upper limit is there, and perfect internal organ training is already the limit.

But in terms of body tempering, this martial art has already broken free from its confinement and is far superior to its peers.

In other words, this will also be the most important foundational martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple.

[Establishing a sect] The content of this task is very vague, but if you think about it, it means you have to establish a complete sect.

As for a sect, the most important thing is not its sphere of influence or its disciples, but a complete inheritance system that can be shown off!

Although the upper limit of "The Angry Dragon Turning the River Hand" is not high, training the internal organs is already the limit, and there is no part of the meridian opening realm. But in a place like Baisha City, for a small sect, it is enough.

As for the latter?
We’ll talk about it later!

This is a world of martial arts, how can we be without martial arts techniques?

Besides, he also has the Fairyland game, and now he is looking forward to this game very much.

Of course, now that we have the skills, the next step is how to make Xuanzhen Temple famous?
Go straight to Xue Mansion and destroy it?
It's not that it can't be done. Chu Zhou doesn't like killing people, but he is full of malice towards the head of the Xue family who has a homosexual tendency.

But how come that person has the title of county magistrate? If he really does that and attracts the attention of the court or other sects, that would be troublesome!

Thinking of this, Chu Zhou couldn't help but sigh, and it was a fake sigh.

"The knife is sharpened, but I don't know where the enemy's head is."

Okay, Chu Zhou is being pretentious!

But it can also be seen that after achieving success in martial arts in the past three months, his mentality has undergone a drastic change.

……

Time flies, and more than a month has passed quietly.

During this month, Chu Zhou celebrated the most important festival in this world - the New Year.

Many tenants brought their families to Xuanzhen Temple to pay New Year's greetings. The attributes of the land deeds had changed, but the ownership still belonged to Xuanzhen Temple, which had not changed.

Of course, the shopkeeper would bring his employees here to greet him.

Honestly speaking, he was only eighteen years old, and seeing a group of elderly people in their fifties and sixties kneeling down to pay their respects to him, he just felt uncomfortable in every way.

However, this is the rule. He is not used to it, but he has to learn to get used to it.

Then, he followed the custom of previous years and held a big banquet, invited everyone to have a good meal, and gave red envelopes to all the children.

Later, he took three fellow apprentices to Baisha City, bought a lot of gifts, and visited Wei Jinkui.

It must be said that although it was a transaction, after spending such a long time together, the relationship between the two sides has naturally become much closer.

The "uncle" and "nephew" were no longer awkward, and Wei Fangjie took them around Baisha City. During the New Year holidays, Baisha City was much more lively, and the pedestrians dispelled the winter chill and even added a bit of liveliness to Baisha City.

It was also here that Wei Fangjie told him another thing.

After the New Year, Wei Jinkui will take his wife and children to Tianquan County and Husha Pavilion.

This is not a requirement of the Husha Pavilion, but a custom that the inner disciples will gather at Husha Mountain after the New Year.

Whether it is to celebrate the sect or to maintain relationships, in short, the relationship between the disciples of Husha Pavilion is relatively close, and this custom plays a big role.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Chu Zhou. What has to do with him is that Wei Jinkui will be away from Baisha City for about ten days to a month.

During this period, Xuanzhen Temple needs to be vigilant!
Of course, having said that, Wei Fangjie didn't think it was a big deal, because he didn't think the forces headed by the Xue Mansion would dare to have any evil intentions!
They just left temporarily, they are not dead, and the Iron Spear Martial Arts School will not lose face so easily.

If it really comes to that, Wei Jinkui will definitely get furious.

Well, Wei Fangjie didn’t care, and Chu Zhou didn’t care much either.

He was not overestimating the integrity of the Xue family, he was just simply confident that when a man has not been there for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes.

So it was just a passing conversation.

After the New Year, the weather quickly warmed up, and a spring rain fell, and the world seemed to have thawed.

The fields became muddy, and when the warm wind blew, tender sprouts sprouted from the ground.

At this time, in Xuanzhen Temple, in the study.

Chu Zhou, who had just finished practicing martial arts, took off his wide Taoist robe and threw it aside. He walked to the desk shirtless and casually flipped through the account book.

Well, even though he had an idea in mind, Chu Zhou couldn't help but gasp after just flipping through a few pages.

This account was recorded by Xu Cheng. It was not the daily expenditure and income of Xuanzhen Temple, but the various expenses incurred by them after they started practicing martial arts four months ago.

From the beginning, there was only the Qi-replenishing and blood-nourishing soup, to the later tendon-strengthening and bone-strengthening pills, medicinal baths, and the purchase of various equipment for physical exercise.

For example, wooden dummies, stone locks of various weights, and a set of weapons including swords, spears, swords and halberds.

Over four months, the total expenditure exceeded four hundred and eighty taels of silver.

Among them, at least two-thirds were consumed by Chu Zhou.

Even though those decoctions, pills, and medicinal baths were prepared by Xuanzhen Temple itself and sold at cost price, the consumption of various medicinal materials was still not discounted.

The entire Xuanzhen Temple's income only came from one inn and two grain shops, with a surplus of about one hundred taels.

There was no way. During the winter, the income from the grain shop was enough to guarantee the survival, but there were not many people in the inn, so the income was slightly reduced.

In other words, for four months, the balance of Xuanzhen Temple was negative 380 taels.

In the underground secret room, there was still some loose silver left, but only three of the five gold bars were left.

And this is the cost of practicing martial arts!

Even so, Xuanzhen Temple only supported the four of them. Chu Zhou really couldn't imagine how much the expenses would be if they really established a sect.

However, it's all worth it.

Chu Zhou closed the account book in his hand, stood up, stood in an empty space in the room, and took another long breath.

Bounce, bounce, bounce…

Crisp sounds were heard, like the sound of a bowstring being plucked, clear and distant.

Looking at Chu Zhou's body again, on the exposed skin, a big tendon would bounce up from time to time, causing the muscles to relax and tighten from time to time.

But this is not the end yet. The sounds became louder and louder, and more and more frequent, like a team of a hundred men drawing their bows and shooting arrows.

Looking at Chu Zhou again, his muscles bulged all over his body, expanding and relaxing, connected into one, like a cage, locking up all the strength in his body.

This is the sign of perfect tendon training, and it has another name, which is 'tendons are like thunder and shocked strings'!
After another moment, Chu Zhou let out a long breath, and his muscles relaxed. He took a deep breath again, and his muscles swelled up, expanding, becoming engorged, and protruding.

Originally, Chu Zhou's body was not very broad, but in just a moment, the muscles bulged out, showing distinct contours.

In the blink of an eye, he has transformed from a skinny boy to a devilish muscle man.

Visible power was surging in his body, and it seemed that every move he made could create a wave of energy.

This is the state of perfect physical training, also known as the strength enough to pull nine oxen backwards!

After exhaling for the third time, Chu Zhou's qi and blood receded, his strength returned, and his swollen muscles returned to normal, and then he took another long breath.

This time, in just one breath, Chu Zhou's body expanded again.

But that is not the swelling of the muscles, but the tightening of the membrane.

All the pores seemed to be closed, appearing tighter, and the membrane under the skin was bulging, giving it a light metallic color.

Just by looking at it, it feels indestructible.

This is the sign of perfect skin training, also known as the body being as indestructible as a diamond!
