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

Li Tianxing left his new home.

He went to Lingshan first.

Li Tianxing has been busy with the Pudu Sect these past few days and hasn't had a chance to learn martial arts from Master Hei Yan.

Last time, on the way to find Hei Yan, we encountered a bandit ambush in the teahouse.

Li Tianxing arrived at the place where Hei Yan taught him martial arts.

Hei Yan was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock.

Li Tianxing looked closely and found that Hei Yan and the boulder were not in direct contact.

His legs were crossed, leaving a small gap between him and the boulder.

Hei Yan noticed someone approaching, opened his eyes, and glanced at Li Tianxing.

He was a little unhappy that Li Tianxing hadn't come to him to learn martial arts these past two days.

But when Hei Yan discovered that Li Tianxing had brought a lot of food, he immediately laughed.

"You little rascal, you've been slacking off these past couple of days."

Hei Yan came to Li Tianxing's side, took the bag, and looked at what food was inside.

"Teacher Hei Yan, I have been quite busy lately, please forgive me."

I also bought you your favorite roast chicken.

Li Tianxing said with a smile.

Hei Yan tore off a chicken leg and looked at Li Tianxing:

"That's impressive, you've actually broken through to the combined strength level."

I thought you wouldn't make a breakthrough until the end of the month.

Seeing that your skin and flesh are like armor... you're almost at the pinnacle of your skill.

It seems you've had some opportunities these past few days!

"Hehe, isn't it all thanks to Teacher Hei Yan's guidance?"

"Haha, stop flattering me. Your evolution speed is indeed astonishing."

After finishing one chicken leg, Hei Yan casually tossed it aside and tore off another.

Li Tianxing rubbed his nose:

"Teacher Hei Yan, have you heard of Hong Fei from Hongyun Martial Arts School?"

Hei Yan said nonchalantly:

"I've heard of him. Although I haven't gone out much in the mountains, I've still heard of his reputation."

The strength of the third realm, the Condensation Realm, is quite impressive.

The four realms of the mortal body are: the Body Tempering Realm, the Blood and Bone Realm, the Condensation Realm, and the Breath Circulation Realm.

The Body Tempering Realm is divided into four stages: Skin Tempering, Flesh Tempering, Tendon Strengthening, and Combined Strength Tempering.

Currently, Li Tianxing's strength is at the combined level of the Body Tempering Realm.

The Blood and Bone Realm is divided into four stages: Blood Activation, Bone Refining, Marrow Nourishment, and Furnace Co-existence.

As for the Condensation Realm, it has three levels.

These are respectively: Nourishing the internal organs, Refining the internal organs, and Strengthening the internal organs.

Li Tianxing continued:

"I heard that the Hongyun Martial Arts School's 'Swift and Graceful Martial Arts Technique' can complete the four realms of mortal body cultivation?"

Hei Yan seemed to have thought of something, and then looked at Li Tianxing:

"What's so strange about that?"

Could it be that the cultivation technique you practiced is insufficient to support you through the four realms of mortal cultivation?

That's right, you did start by practicing the Splitting Palm technique.

But you're growing up so fast, I completely overlooked that.

I thought you were practicing some kind of top-tier martial arts technique.

Li Tianxing recalled it carefully.

His own Wave Chasing Skill and Pine Splitting Palm.

Indeed, they are all relatively common and ordinary techniques.

Under normal circumstances, it can only sustain him to complete the Body Refinement Realm.

But since you have the support of the panel, what is the upper limit of these two techniques?

Li Tianxing himself didn't know either...

I wonder if further development, such as integration, will be possible.

Although the quality of Zhenyue Nourishing Blood Technique is much higher than the previous two techniques.

But he had heard Uncle Chen say that the Zhenyue Blood Nourishing Technique could at most help him complete the Blood Bone Realm.

All things considered, the martial arts technique I practiced was indeed quite terrible.

There isn't a single, particularly powerful, martial arts technique...

Fortunately, there is a panel that can enhance the abilities of these techniques.

I wonder if there will be a chance to integrate these more common techniques in the future?

Otherwise, their starting point is too low, and it's indeed not easy to work hard on them.

Seeing that Li Tianxing didn't speak, Hei Yan assumed he was in an awkward situation.

"Tianxing, the martial arts techniques you learned before were indeed rather ordinary."

But the techniques I practice can only be learned when you reach the Qi Circulation Realm.

Otherwise, the flow of qi and blood will reverse, and the meridians will flow backward.

But it could lead to someone's death.

In summary...

If you can learn the "Fluttering Swallow Dance Technique" from the Hongyun Martial Arts School, that would be quite good.

Hei Yan's words made Li Tianxing frown.

What level of cultivation does Teacher Hei Yan possess?

Could it be above the four realms of mortal cultivation...?

Li Tianxing did not rush to ask questions.

The topic was simply steered towards Hongyun Martial Arts School:

"It just so happens that Chief Feng from the Police Department put in a good word for me with Hongfei."

He told me to go and learn martial arts from Hongfei.

Hei Yan continued gnawing on his chicken leg:

"Okay, let's go then."

It would be a good thing if you could have a teacher.

After all, given your current strength.

This isn't of much help to Zhenhai Pavilion...

By the way, are you holding some kind of river god worship ceremony at the end of the month?

Li Tianxing didn't know why Hei Yan wanted to ask about "worshipping the river god".

He simply answered truthfully:

"Yes, Anlan County holds a river god worship ceremony every year at the end of the year."

Hei Yan nodded, took out a token from his pocket, and tossed it directly to Li Tianxing:

"Okay, I understand."

You can take this token; it's a symbol of our Zhenhai Pavilion's identity.

If you see someone else with the same token in the future...

You should know that he is also a member of Zhenhai Pavilion.

I'm leaving at the end of the month, so I'm giving you this token now.

This token contains hidden secrets; how much you can understand depends on yourself.

Consider this a reward for joining Zhenhai Pavilion.

Li Tianxing carefully examined the token in his hand.

The token is small, only about the size of a palm, and its main color is blue.

The token has a smooth, cool feel.

It can be fully grasped with one hand.

The front of the token depicts a vast ocean.

Above the sea, there is a towering pavilion that exudes an oppressive aura.

Li Tianxing asked curiously:

"This is the token of our Zhenhai Pavilion? What is its special use?"

Hei Yan only gave a vague answer:

"Wait until you reach the Great Perfection of the Fourth Realm, the Realm of Understanding Breath."

When the Qi flows throughout the body, its wondrous uses will naturally become apparent.

Could this token contain a cultivation technique beyond the fourth level of the mortal realm?

Or perhaps some rare magical artifact?

What is the true level of Teacher Hei Yan's strength?

What is the purpose of the Zhenhai Pavilion organization?

Li Tianxing stared at the token in his hand, lost in thought...

After finishing his chicken leg, Hei Yan clapped his hands and suddenly said:

"Kid, you're almost finished with the Body Tempering Realm."

Should I suppress my strength to the Body Tempering Realm as well?

How about the two of us practice?

Of course, no matter how much I suppress myself, I can never reach the same level as you.

So you're definitely going to suffer a loss!

Li Tianxing knew that Hei Yan was about to give him some pointers.

He didn't waste any words, but simply clasped his hands in a fist and said:

"Teacher Hei Yan, please."

Li Tianxing had barely finished speaking...

Hei Yan vanished from Li Tianxing's sight like a ghost.

Li Tianxing's ears twitched, and he immediately turned around, striking behind him with a palm without hesitation.

"boom--"

Two palms facing each other.

Black Yan's eyes gleamed with a sharp light:

"Kid, your reflexes aren't slow!"

As soon as Hei Yan finished speaking, his entire body trembled.

"Snap—"

Li Tianxing's right sleeve ripped open instantly.

Li Tianxing felt a powerful "qi" blast him away!

He was thrown backward like a kite with a broken string.

"boom--"

Li Tianxing embedded himself directly into the boulder where Hei Yan had initially been sitting!

Dust and smoke immediately rose up...

After a while, Li Tianxing's voice finally rang out from the dust and smoke.

"Cough cough cough!"

Teacher Hei Yan, didn't you say...?

Are you going to conserve your strength in the first realm?

"This is fucking Body Tempering Realm strength?"

Li Tianxing, covered in dust and dirt, scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state.

Hei Yan chuckled:

"Kid, this is the first lesson I'm teaching you."

That means you must unleash your full potential during a battle.

Do not hold back!

Also, don't easily believe what your opponent says!

Hei Yan turned around and continued eating the piping hot roast chicken.

At the same time, a hint of apology appeared on his face.

Oh dear, Tianxing, don't blame me.

I really wanted to keep my strength hidden in the first realm!

But when I appeared behind you, you instantly realized what was happening.

I knew it; I couldn't hold onto my strength at the first realm anymore.

otherwise……

I might lose.
