Chapter 7 7 Turning Point
Cui Yao was a man of swift and decisive actions, practicing as he spoke.

He is a martial arts master with many years of experience and has been responsible for teaching martial arts to the escort agency's men. He is very experienced.

When practicing, his words are simple and clear, and his guidance to disciples is to the point, often making people feel that they have suddenly understood everything.

Just by listening to him teach the boxing stance of Tiger Form Fist, Li Cunxiao knew that the ticket costing one hundred taels of silver was really worth the money.

It's not that you can't buy martial arts secrets with money. The key is to have a teacher who can teach them according to the student's condition.

After all, everyone's body is different. The same action may be correct for others but wrong for yourself, and vice versa. At this time, only an experienced master can adjust it step by step.

The entry-level stance of this Tiger Form Fist is called Tiger Form Stance. These disciples learn the static stance, which is the so-called "dead horse stance".

As the saying goes, "Practicing boxing without stance is like building a house without pillars."

This step is to strengthen the lower body, and at the same time, through a special rhythm of breathing, guide the blood and qi, and feel the blood and qi. When you can feel the blood and qi, this tiger boxing is considered to be the entry point.

Li Cunxiao knew that this opportunity was hard-won and he didn't dare to relax at all. Following Cui Yao's instructions, he pushed his head up, straightened his neck, licked his upper palate with his tongue, and retracted his lower jaw.

Use your eyes to convey your thoughts, put your hands on your hips, keep your abdomen firm and your chest broad, inhale back into your dantian, sit on your hips and sink your qi, lift your crotch and belly, and grip the ground with your toes.

In this way, all over the body, strength was exerted, and at the same time, there was a force pulling each other between the upper and lower parts. Within ten minutes, he was sweating like a pig and his legs were shaking.

Despite this, he still gritted his teeth and persevered while trying his best to keep his movements intact.

Looking up, he saw dozens of other guys working silently like him. The only sound in the quiet training ground was heavy breathing.

Another quarter of an hour passed before Cui Yao asked everyone to rest, but it was only for a moment to catch their breath. Everyone started practicing lifting stone locks to build up their strength.

Standing in horse stance and lifting stone locks were all part of the guys’ one-hour morning class.

When the sky was slightly bright, Cui Yao gave an order and strong men brought several buckets of yellow medicine soup, giving each servant a bowl, no more, no less.

Li Cunxiao's hands and muscles were originally numb from training, but after drinking a bowl of medicinal soup, after the bitter taste, he immediately felt a warm current rising up, and his hands and feet felt a bit comfortable as if they were soaked in hot water.

But this feeling didn't last even a minute and quickly dissipated.

"Is this the Escort Agency's nourishing soup?"

It was the first time for Li Cunxiao to drink such a miraculous medicine. Qin Yu, who was standing beside him, curled his lips when he heard this:

"Come on, how can we get the Bu Yuan Tang? This is a potion made from the dregs of the Bu Yuan Tang."

"what?"

While Li Cunxiao was surprised, desire appeared in his eyes.

The water boiled from the dregs has this effect, so the original soup is no exception.
Qin Yu arrived a month earlier than Li Cunxiao and has already reached the threshold of sensing Qi. Just now, he was seen doing horse stance while holding a pair of ten-jin stone locks in his hands. It was obvious that he wanted to stimulate his Qi and blood and break through the barrier as soon as possible.

At this moment, he was holding the medicine bowl, his hand was a little unsteady, obviously because of the intense training. After drinking a bowl of medicine soup, he finally steadied his raised right hand:

"Hey, do you see that courtyard? It's full of people at the Fuqi realm, and the Buyuan soup is for them to drink."

Li Cunxiao looked over when he heard this and saw a group of young men bowing to a middle-aged man who looked very similar to Cui Yao.

The young men were wearing training clothes, and all of them had fair and rosy skin. They were obviously children of wealthy families.

As for that man, he was obviously another big boss of Feihu Escort Agency, Cui Yao's brother Cui Wei.

"When will I be able to control my Qi and blood, learn fighting techniques and weapons?"

Qin Yu wasn't the only one with a look of longing; most of the other servants were also looking over there. But when he turned around, he saw Li Cunxiao had already put down his bowl and was walking towards the woodshed, so he quickly chased after him.

"Hey, don't you want to go into that yard?"

"What's the point of thinking? Let's finish today's work first."

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Cunxiao had become accustomed to the life in the escort agency.

I get up before dawn to practice exercises, finish my morning exercises with a bowl of soup, and start my day's work.

Being a handyman meant doing everything. Besides the meticulous tasks of feeding the horses, which required a dedicated person, he also performed all the other chores, such as chopping wood, boiling water, and maintaining swords and guns. Within two weeks, he had become proficient in the Tiger Posture and had even begun to practice carrying a five-jin stone lock to stimulate his qi and blood circulation.

When standing in a stance, the vague sense of qi between the chest, abdomen and limbs gradually becomes apparent.

The escorts of the escort agency can take a day off after each mission, but these guys can only take a day off a month. After all, even the officials of the imperial court can only take a day off every ten days.

August 30th is coming soon. Li Cunxiao plans to take advantage of this day off to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine to replenish qi and blood, or some meat of wild animals, so as to reach the state of sensing qi as soon as possible.

After all, it took more than half a month to sense the energy. This speed was only slightly faster than that of all the guys in the escort agency, and only slightly faster than Rundong and Qin Yu who lived in the same room.

The two men had sensed the Qi seven or eight days ago, and had been taught the "Live Stake" and the "Eight Tiger Form" fighting method. Now they practiced every morning on the other side of the training ground, and began to disassemble the routines with other people who had reached the Qi sensing level.

So during this period of time, Li Cunxiao became familiar with another roommate, He Bi, who had not appeared before.

It was unknown what happened at home that delayed the latter. It was said that he had only practiced martial arts for two or three days. However, after returning this time, it took him only four days to develop a faint sense of energy, which was almost twice as fast as Li Cunxiao.

The latter was lively by nature and could not hide his thoughts, so when Li Cunxiao hinted at it, he could clearly feel that the other party's words were a bit unnatural.

"To sense Qi, to sense Qi, one must have a strong spirit to sense it."

"Either the Qi and blood become so strong that they cannot be ignored"

"At this level, anyone with money can pile up anything, but why bother? It seems there are other, hard-to-spoken methods."

The day off was also the day when wages were paid at the end of the month. Li Cunxiao had an appointment to take his younger brother to buy clothes. While waiting, he couldn't help but think quietly.

In fact, he has been trying to explore the mysterious vajra in his mind.

But since Zhao Heishe, the Vajra has always remained in a state of one-fourth "charged". Even when he found an opportunity to help in the escort agency's back kitchen and slaughterhouse, there was no change at all.

"The demon hasn't been found yet. Do we have to kill people?"

"I will deal with the Green Snake Gang sooner or later, but two fists are no match for four hands. Even if I launch a sneak attack, it's best to control my Qi and blood first."

As for actively provoking enemies and swinging the sword at the weaker ones.
Not to mention that he disdains to do it, this practice itself has huge hidden dangers.

Killing is a means, not an end. If you deliberately create enemies to increase your strength, you will eventually fail. If you fail, it will be a disaster.

He has a family and can't take any risks.

"Big Brother!!!"

Faintly sensing the sound of wind behind him, Li Cunxiao turned around and hugged his brother who rushed towards him. However, the moment they made contact, he quickly squatted down and asked in surprise:
"Little brother, why have you gained so much weight?!"

Mu Cha originally had a delicate face with an oval face, and he is still handsome now, but his face is visibly rounder.

"It was Que'er, she gave me a lot of delicious food, and also the Madam and the Third Miss."

Mu Cha felt a little embarrassed, but Li Cunxiao felt much more relieved.

As long as it doesn’t make you suffer, it’s okay to be a little fatter.

"By the way, brother, I also brought you some delicious food."

Mu Cha looked around and quietly took out a purse, which contained strips of reddish-brown dried meat.

Li Cunxiao originally wanted to take his brother out for a good meal, so he didn't eat breakfast. At this time, he smelled an enticing aroma, and he subconsciously picked up a piece of dried meat and threw it into his mouth.

"Brother! You can only eat a little bit at a time."

Mu Cha was stunned and spoke hurriedly. Li Cunxiao didn't understand at first, but the next moment, a heat exploded from his stomach, and the effect was several times stronger than the medicine soup he usually drank.

Just as his expression changed, another surprising thing happened.

The light on the vajra is growing.
