Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

Manager Chen picked up the pipe on the stone table and took a deep drag:

"The past doesn't matter anymore..."

My real name is Chen Tong. My previous strength was probably at the Great Perfection of the Blood Bone Realm.

They've reached the level of being united in blood and bone!

Li Tianxing gasped.

Blood and bones are refined together, which means that flesh and blood are refined to their limits.

That is, the second realm, the Great Perfection stage of the Blood Bone Realm!

No wonder Uncle Chen is still able to easily withstand my attacks.

I've only just entered the first realm.

But he was already at the Great Perfection of the Second Realm before...

Chen Tong glanced at Li Tianxing:

"Is the 'blood and bones united' technique strong? I used to think I was very strong too..."

Chen Tong's eyes dimmed, as if he were recalling unpleasant memories.

However, he quickly regained his usual expression:

"You have good talent, it's a real pity."

If you had been born into the Song family, perhaps you would have quickly surpassed Song Ming!

"Song Ming...it's him."

Li Tianxing recalled the day he first awakened his panel.

That was also the first time he caught a big grass carp...

On the way home that day.

Li Tianxing encountered the person sitting in the car, who rolled down the window and threw out a cigarette butt...

He was a respectable man surrounded by several bodyguards on bicycles.

Thinking about all this...

Li Tianxing asked tentatively:

"What level of achievement did the Song and Ming dynasties reach?"

"I met him once a few months ago. He must have been in the Blood Bone Realm, nourishing marrow."

"We may only be one step away from being united in blood and bone..."

"That strong?"

Li Tianxing had assumed that these rich young men were all pampered good-for-nothings.

But now it seems that's not entirely true...

Chen Tong coughed, indicating that he had just expended a lot of energy exchanging blows with Li Tianxing.

Li Tianxing immediately served him a bowl of fish soup.

Chen Tong took a sip of fish soup and continued:

"Is it very strong?"

When you're fishing, they have the best instructors in Anlan County guiding you.

While you're eating brown rice, others are eating polished rice imported from Southeast Asia.

You're drinking water from the Qinghe River, while others are drinking ginseng soup...

Do you still think he's very strong?

Li Tianxing was slightly taken aback. He always felt that Uncle Chen had an air of arrogance and nobility about him.

In addition, he also has the surname Chen, so could he have some connection with the Chen family in Anlan County?

The two major families in Anlan County are the Song family and the Chen family.

The Song family has many businesses, such as the fish market, which is just a small part of their business.

In addition, the Song family has interests in factories, transportation, gold shops, and other industries.

The Chen family, on the other hand, mostly operated underground.

For example, some industries such as smuggling and lending, such as the Black Dragon Gang in Anlan County, were established with the support of the Chen family.

However, the Chen family is relatively low-key and rarely makes public appearances.

Chen Tong stood up and patted Li Tianxing on the shoulder:

"But in my opinion, you are stronger than Song Ming, much stronger!"

Because of your comprehension... I've never seen anything like it in my entire life!

Li Tianxing was somewhat flattered, and he quickly took Chen Tong's arm:

"Uncle Chen, you flatter me. Please sit down... don't tire yourself out."

Chen Tong laughed heartily:

"Hahaha, you brat. I love seeing your shameless face."

Do you want to learn martial arts from me?

Upon hearing this, Li Tianxing immediately clasped his hands in greeting, preparing to kneel down and formally become his disciple.

How could I possibly refuse a free mentor?!

"Please, Master..."

Before Li Tianxing could finish speaking, Chen Tong interrupted him.

Chen Tong sighed:

"Alas... Tianxing, I cannot be your master."

If it were the old me, I would still have the confidence to take you on as a disciple with such great potential.

Unfortunately, with my current abilities...

I simply can't get over this hurdle in my own heart.

I feel guilty for having a useless person as my master.

Besides, you can't learn most of my skills...

Because it's a family tradition, I can't teach it to you due to the rules.

But I can teach you another subject.

Its name is "Zhenyue Nourishing Blood Exercise"!

"It is the most top-tier cultivation technique among all the techniques I have collected..."

"Is it 'Zhenyue Nourishing Blood Exercise'?"

Li Tianxing repeated it, even though Chen Tong said he didn't want to be his master.

But at this moment, in Li Tianxing's heart...

He had already regarded the other party as his mentor.

Such mentors and close friends despite their age difference... are rare indeed.

"Yes, the Zhenyue Nourishing Blood Exercise!"

It likely originated from the border-guarding military system of the previous dynasty.

The Zhenyue Nourishing Blood Exercise has two main characteristics.

Firstly, it can enhance your blood and qi concentration, helping you build a solid foundation for your health.

Just like the core of its name:

Calm the body like a mountain, nourish the blood like a river.

To put it simply, it means that as long as the blood doesn't dry up, the body won't collapse.

Secondly, its defensive capabilities are astonishing. Once mastered, the entire body becomes like a mountain, standing firm and unyielding!

Li Tianxing's eyes burned with fervor. Just from what Chen Tong said, he felt that this technique was terrifyingly powerful!

Chen Tong smiled slightly: "Want to learn?"

Li Tianxing nodded: "Uncle Chen, I want to learn!"

"Okay, since you want to learn."

"I'll teach you the Mountain Stance first. Once you've mastered it, I'll teach you the rest!"

Chen Tong smiled as he smoked his pipe.

Li Tianxing noticed that the other person's expression was somewhat strange:

"Uncle Chen, people say that one should not accept rewards without merit."

If you don't want to be my master, then why are you teaching me kung fu?

"Hehe...you're really too smart."

I have only one request.

When you reach the third realm, the Condensation Realm, help me kill someone!

Li Tianxing raised an eyebrow: "Kill who?"

Chen Tong kept everyone in suspense:

"No rush... This third realm is far too far away for you."

If you can't break through to the third realm, I won't send you to your death!

"Let's talk about it when you reach the Condensation Realm."

Li Tianxing did not press further upon hearing this.

But suddenly, a sense of curiosity arose within him, and he asked:

"Alright, by the way, Uncle Chen..."

You mentioned the fourth realm, the fifth realm above the realm of breath connection.

What level of attainment is it?

Uncle Chen shook his head:

"I don't know either. We'll talk about it when you have the chance to leave Anlan County in the future."

"Once you see a bigger world, perhaps you'll understand..."

Li Tianxing nodded, and then followed Chen Bo's instructions.

He began to seriously practice the Mountain Stance from the Zhenyue Nourishing Blood Exercise...

……

Time passed little by little.

Two days passed in a row, and it was December 3rd.

The day after tomorrow is when Li Tianxing reports to the police station...

The day to go to Pear Blossom Village to assist the police in hunting demons!

These past two days, Li Tianxing's life seems to have been wound up like a clockwork toy...

Repeated and stable.

In the morning, Li Tianxing went fishing in the river, checking his progress on both fishing and his Wave Chasing Skill.

In the afternoon, under Uncle Chen's guidance, he practiced the Zhenyue Nourishing Blood Technique.

While you're at it, practice the Chopping Pine Palm technique.

The huge willow tree in Uncle Chen's backyard was the perfect training ground for Li Tianxing.

As for Lingshan, Li Tianxing never went there again.

After all, Uncle Chen's willow tree is so close, why bother going to such lengths?

Moreover, Uncle Chen could occasionally give him some pointers.

Under Chen Tong's guidance.

Li Tianxing's strength is increasing rapidly...

……

Lingshan, on a large tree.

A man wearing a top hat had a blade of grass in his mouth.

He was idly fiddling with the binoculars in his hand.

"What's going on... Why isn't that kid who practices the Pine-Splitting Palm every day here?"

Is it because I've achieved some success in my training that I've started to slack off?

Judging from the way he diligently cultivates himself, he doesn't seem like such a frivolous person.

Could it be... that the big cat I lured in ate it?

But I lured the big cat to Pear Blossom Village.

Those were all areas where foreigners lived...

I wanted it to eat foreigners' food!

What a sin, what a sin!

The man took off his top hat, placed it on his chest, and made a gesture of repentance.

He had originally planned to visit Li Tianxing again when he came up the mountain...

However, judging from the current situation...

That kid probably won't be showing up for a while...
