From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 50 Breaking the Situation
At noon in spring, the sun is warm and birds fly by from time to time.

The food and drinks at the parade ground were average. Nie Yannian saw that everyone except the gelder felt uncomfortable when he was here, so he didn't want to stay any longer.

"Let's take a day off today. Practice hard tomorrow. If you have any questions, ask Master Meng!" Nie Yannian stood up and left.

Meng Yuan immediately followed him out and asked, "Master Nie is leaving now?"

"Alas, there is nothing I can do!" Nie Yannian sighed quickly, "We are so poor that we can't even afford to eat, and the martial arts troupe is clamoring to disband, so I have to go and support them, right?"

I haven't even borrowed money yet, and you're already crying poor? Who said money is shit?

Meng Yuan immediately followed up the conversation and said, "I think so too. Since Master Nie has a lot of things to do outside, I will pay more attention to the training ground. But I know too little, just one Kuangfeng sword technique. Master Nie, please teach me something more so that I can teach Tie Niu and the others. This will also prevent others from saying that Master Nie only cares about business and doesn't care about the serious matters of the training ground."

"Don't worry about these two days." Nie Yannian patted Meng Yuan's shoulder and said, "Wait until you reach the eighth rank and meet the princess."

After talking nonsense, Nie Yannian left quickly, as if he was afraid that Meng Yuan would ask to borrow money.

"It's as if I can only be considered the princess's person after I meet her! Do you want to put a stamp on my butt?"

Meng Yuan muttered a few words in his heart, and then he remembered Master Nie saying that the princess was a fairy figure, and he couldn't help but yearn for her, "She is independent and secluded from the world, and she is the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Brother? Are you missing me again?" Seeing Meng Yuan was like the prince, with one hand behind his back and the other in front of his chest, as if he was about to recite a few words, Tie Niu grabbed Meng Yuan's arm and shook it hard, "Everyone is waiting to toast you!"

"Toast?" Meng Yuan frowned and said in Master Nie's tone, "I didn't learn anything good, but I learned a lot of bad things!"

When they returned to the cafeteria, everyone stopped eating and looked at Meng Yuan.

The looks in these people's eyes were somewhat different.

Previously, Meng Yuan was in charge of the training ground affairs because he was the first to enter the rank. Everyone was actually convinced in their hearts, after all, Meng Yuan practiced the most diligently, exerted the most effort, beat people the most fiercely, and acted fairly.

But people are afraid of comparison. After Ren Debiao entered the eighth rank, there was a lot of disturbance. Many people received Ren Debiao's guidance and felt that their perspectives had changed.

Moreover, Meng Yuan never told them how many acupoints he had opened. He also went out from time to time and often came back drunk. Many people actually thought that Meng Yuan's entry into the realm was just a fluke, and they said some nonsense to him in private.

But today I learned that Meng Yuan not only captured monsters, but also killed them.

Moreover, with his body of the ninth rank, he defeated the eighth rank Ren Debiao. And it was not a narrow victory or a victory of wits, but a great victory achieved by using his real ability, one sword at a time.

That’s not all. Even though he injured someone, Master Nie sent him back, as if he hadn’t been punished at all.

"Senior Brother Meng!" Wu Changsheng picked up the wine bowl, and Hu Qian also picked up the wine bowl.

A crowd of people followed immediately.

Meng Yuan picked up the wine bowl, drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile: "I hope everyone will practice diligently, concentrate their will, and protect the princess!"

Hu Qian watched silently. She saw that after Meng Yuan finished the wine in one gulp, he seemed to want to smash the wine bowl, and then shouted something about loyalty, but he touched Jiang Tang's purse very cautiously, as if he was afraid of paying for the wine bowl, so he finally held back.

"Even a loyal person can be trapped by these things!" Hu Qian sighed in her heart, and then she thought of the theory of castration that she had realized. She felt that the saying "without money, there is no power" was really true.

Meng Yuan drank several bowls in a row, and was pestered by Wu Changsheng and others to talk about the battle against the black and white sheep monsters, and then they dispersed.

When I got home, no one was there.

However, Jiang Tang left a note in the kitchen, asking Meng Yuan why he didn't have breakfast.

"The more you care, the more trouble you make." Although Meng Yuan said this, he still ate all the remaining food.

Thinking silently, the spirit fire was still as small as a soybean, only slightly stronger.

"At this rate of growth, even if the essence and fire grow two or three pounds of flesh every day, it will probably take half a year, or even longer!"

"The essence fire has tempered my body twice, and the effect has become stronger each time. Now my muscles, bones and flesh are far superior to those of the same level, even stronger than those of the eighth level."

"But it's getting harder and harder to nourish the fire." "It seems that eating meat is a minor skill after all. If you want to nourish the fire quickly, you still have to find green fruit."

"I need to talk to Master Nie and ask about the spiritual herbs and precious medicines. But before that, breaking the mirror and entering the eighth level is the most important thing."

After sitting quietly for a while and getting sober, Meng Yuan practiced the Baozhuang Yangyuan Gong several times.

The thirty-three acupoints in the body are stimulated, and the true energy fills the Dantian.

Meng Yuan drew his sword and began to practice the Kuangfeng Sword Technique.

According to what Master Nie said, when performing the Wild Wind Sword Technique and moving the True Qi around in the Lower Thirty-three Days, one can feel the response from the Middle Thirty-three Days.

Of course, other methods are also possible, such as boxing and swordsmanship. The main thing is to use the corresponding method of moving and circulating the true qi, so that there are changes in the moves outside and the circulation of the true qi inside. The two are combined to discover the location of the thirty-three.

This is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires hard and diligent practice, and one must keep one's mind calm.

But Meng Yuan had already tempered his body for the second time, and his Essence Fire had probed deeply into the lower thirty-three days, and had already pried open the middle thirty-three days.

This time, the thirty-three acupoints have shown signs of loosening.

Meng Yuan calmly performed the Kuangfeng Sword Technique once, and he felt a response throughout his body.

After calling twice more, Meng Yuan returned to his room, sat down on the bed, closed his eyes, emptied his mind, put aside distracting thoughts, and breathed slowly.

The true energy that filled up the Dantian slowly circulated, without seeking for any place to be reflected or engraved. Instead, it flowed like water, passing through a wide river channel and arriving at the top of the head. This was the first acupoint in the lower thirty-three days opened by Meng Yuan.

Through this acupoint, the true Qi slowly flows down for about an inch, and then it feels like there is an obstruction.

This is Niwan, which is borrowed from the Taoist Nine Palaces Niwan Palace. Although the location is similar, they are not the same place.

The first step to enter the eighth level is to break open the Niwan.

Meng Yuan always kept Master Nie's words in mind. The Thirty-Three Heavens were located inside the body and it was most likely to cause damage when opening the acupoints. Therefore, he did not dare to attack with great force and only approached slowly with his true Qi.

After staying outside for a long time, he slowly withdrew his true energy and did not force his way in.

Take a short break, regain your energy, and then slowly mobilize your true energy to rub it.

After repeating this several times, Meng Yuan mobilized his true energy to gently eliminate the blockage.

After an unknown amount of time, the blockage became looser. Suddenly, Meng Yuan felt a buzzing in his head, like the sound of a bell.

Then, the skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs of the whole body began to tremble continuously, as if there was a huge object hidden inside that wanted to break out of the body.

At this point, the Niwan has been opened, and Meng Yuan has entered the eighth level of warrior realm.

This feeling was so wonderful that Meng Yuan even had the feeling that his body contained all things in the world, but he had no corresponding way to express it.

"Master Nie said that only by opening the secret treasure in the body and obtaining the secret of heaven can one turn decay into magic. Is this feeling the secret treasure? How to open it? How can one gain insight into the secret of heaven after reaching the eighth level?"

As Meng Yuan was thinking carefully, he suddenly felt a faint breath beside him, so he opened his eyes to look.

I saw Jiang Tang sitting beside the bed, holding a handkerchief, looking at me with big eyes, only about a foot away.

There was a dim candlelight in the room and the moon was hidden behind the windowsill outside. It was clearly the second half of the night.

"Are you hungry? Dinner is kept hot." Jiang Tang used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Meng Yuan's face.

On spring nights, her voice was soft, like a gentle breeze brushing against the sill.
