From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 59 Another Six Years

Six years later.

Desolate Mountains.

In a camp where several thousand people were stationed, Xu Xiaoniu was practicing the Five Elements Stance Exercise in front of his tent.

Practice from the first level of standing meditation to the third level, and repeat over and over again.

Two years ago, he had mastered the third level of Zhuang Gong, reaching the ultimate limit of a post-natal warrior. His entire body's seven main meridians, twelve branch meridians, thirty-six vital points, one hundred and eight important acupoints, and all other minor acupoints were opened.

However, he did not have the Five Elements Posture to break through the innate part, so he was stuck at this bottleneck.

He had long formed a daily habit of practicing桩功, and he still practiced桩功 every day, cycling from the first level to the third level.

He found that the progress of the standing meditation had not stagnated and was still effective: the repeated training of the meridians and acupoints allowed his meridians to slowly expand at an extremely subtle pace, and the acupoints became more and more resilient.

After practicing like this for two years, his blood and energy surged, his meridians widened, and his acupoints increased.

After countless times of tempering his Qi and blood, he sensed a faint invisible force within his meridians, trying to burst forth. He guessed it was the innate warrior's "internal energy," also known as "inner force."

This power was locked because he failed to break through the innate law.

It was daybreak and he hadn't gone to work today.

After ten years here, they are finally about to finish mining all the gold and spirit stone mines. Lately, they have only had occasional mining missions, and have been resting most of the time.

He heard that the war that had lasted for more than ten years was about to end.

"Captain Xu, someone's looking for you!"

Shouts from afar interrupted Xu Xiaoniu's practice.

His current military rank is "Centurion". Actually, he doesn't want to do it, but even though he has no merit, he has reached this military rank through the hard work of mining.

Countless people died in the past ten years, and he was one of the few who survived.

Xu Xiaoniu walked towards the camp gate and saw a tall and strong figure striding towards him.

"Daniu, are you practicing the standing meditation again?"

Du Yong's voice was rough and bold. He had run into Xu Xiaoniu by chance three years ago, and now he finally saw an acquaintance on this battlefield, where millions of people had gathered.

After getting in touch with Xu Xiaoniu, he learned that Xu Xiaoniu had been practicing martial arts and was not an ordinary person.

"When I have nothing to do, I can only practice standing meditation to pass the time."

"You have nothing to do? Then change camps and join me in the battles. When the war is over, you can return with honor and glory. Centurion is too low a rank."

Du Yong was wearing a suit of black iron armor, with blood stains between the armor that could not be washed off, and a centurion token hanging around his waist.

When he first came, he had not yet mastered the second level of standing meditation.

Now he had already mastered the third level of Zhuang Gong, and all he had to do was return to the Xiong Hu Sect to learn the Xiantian content of Xiong Hu Zhuang Gong and break through to the Xiantian realm! He was 100% sure of breaking through to the Xiantian realm and fulfilling his father's lifelong dream.

For many martial artists, advancing to the innate realm is an insurmountable gap.

However, for immortals, this problem is very simple: all they need is a first-grade elixir, the "Xiantian Pill".

The first-grade elixir corresponds to the elixir at the Qi training level and is the lowest level.

Du Yong earned himself a Xiantian Pill by doing meritorious service and hid it in his arms.

On this battlefield, immortals battled in the sky, while mortals fought on the ground. Their targets were the refined gold in the enemy camp, the weapons and armor, and the treasures hidden on the enemy's bodies.

Relying on his acquired extreme standing skills and bear-tiger body skills, Du Yong killed countless ordinary people from the Baiyue Immortal Dynasty.

There were warriors on the enemy side, but he always survived after being in danger, and his strength became stronger and stronger, his combat experience became richer and richer, and his military rank was promoted all the way to the captain of a thousand men.

----

"Forget it. I don't expect to achieve any merit. I'll just go home after it's over."

Xu Xiaoniu declined Du Yong's invitation.

"Ok."

Du Yong had advised Xu Xiaoniu many times before and knew that he had no ambition to achieve great things. "I'll give you a bottle of Qi and Blood Pills."

Du Yong took out a bottle of Qi and Blood Pills and handed it to Xu Xiaoniu.

"No, no." Xu Xiaoniu waved his hands repeatedly, but Du Yong forced the item into his hands without giving him a chance to refuse.

"Just take it if I tell you to. You can keep it for healing or practicing standing meditation. I don't need it anyway. The relationship between your Xu family and my family is self-evident. It's my duty to take care of you."

Du Yong said this and patted Xu Xiaoniu on the shoulder.

Qi and Blood Pills sold at the pharmacy for eighty taels of silver each. Du Yong's father certainly wouldn't be willing to give them to him as a resource for his daily practice.

Here, Du Yong had more Qi and Blood Pills than he could use up. He was able to achieve the third level of Zhuang Gong so early thanks to the Qi and Blood Pills.

"Thanks."

Xu Xiaoniu thanked him. This was the second time he had accepted Qi and Blood Pills from Du Yong. The last time was when the two had just gotten in touch, and Du Yong had given him a bottle of twelve Qi and Blood Pills.

It was that bottle of Qi and Blood Pills that allowed him to master the third level of Zhuang Gong two years ago.

"Don't be polite with me. Okay, I'm leaving now. If you have any trouble, just come to me."

Du Yong said goodbye and left.

Xu Xiaoniu shouted behind him, "Be careful, it's better to be cautious."

Afterwards, Xu Xiaoniu looked at the full bottle of Qi and Blood Pills in his hand, opened the cork, took out a Qi and Blood Pill and swallowed it, then continued to practice the standing meditation.

His father told him not to carry any valuables with him.

In a large camp, theft is rampant.

Everyone hadn't left for a few years, so all their belongings were hidden on their bodies. If they weren't careful, they would be stolen.

Xu Xiaoniu didn't have such worries; he didn't have a single penny. He would quickly practice the Qi and Blood Pills to digest them.

----

a few days later.

At night, a sudden vibration woke Xu Xiaoniu up.

He rushed out of the tent and saw streams of light flying in the sky: they were fairies casting spells!
There were deafening shouts and cries of killing in the distance.

"The final decisive battle is coming?"

Xu Xiaoniu thought to himself. He heard that the immortals from both sides were negotiating for the core spiritual stone mine in the entire mining area.

A single spirit stone is enough to make immortals fight for it, let alone a spirit stone mine.

At this moment, it seems that the negotiations have failed.

These had nothing to do with Xu Xiaoniu; he just wanted to survive. He headed for a mining area far away from the battlefield, found a deep mine, dug in, and hid there.

He will be able to go home once the battle between the immortals is over.

----

Above the core spirit stone mine, the immortals from both sides were fighting.

The Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty is mainly composed of immortals from Yunbian County, supplemented by immortals from several counties such as Yuanli County and Qinghe County.

On the other side, the overall strength of the Baiyue Immortal Dynasty is not much different.

The two sides were evenly matched, which was also the reason why the negotiations broke down: neither side was willing to give in.

In the previous battles, the immortals on both sides were relatively restrained, especially the great cultivators who had established their foundation rarely took action.

Now the spirit stone mine is right in front of us. The crystal clear spirit stones emit fairy spirit, tempting the fairies to fight for them.

On the ground, there are more mortals participating in the war!
"Kill! Hurry up and grab the spirit stones. If you grab one, you'll get promoted and rich!"

Soldiers from both sides, wearing armor and holding swords, fought and clashed.
