Martial Arts Immortal Saint: Starting from Feeding Horses and Escorting Goods

They followed Old Sun, the steward, to a separate house in the backyard.

The house wasn't large, but it had everything one could need, including wooden stakes and a special spot for practicing martial arts.

"You'll be living here from now on."

Lu Chuan looked at it carefully and was very satisfied. This was much more comfortable than his woodshed.

He cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for showing me the way, steward."

Manager Sun nodded: "Don't forget what we talked about before."

"The monthly wage for the porters has been increased to eight hundred coins. They can collect it next month."

"There are also special clothes for you, and you can go to the storeroom to choose a weapon yourself."

"You weren't qualified to enter the military archives before, but you can now. And..."

Lu Chuan responded to each one.

"I've got it all. Thank you, manager."

"Alright, figure out the rest yourself. I'm leaving now."

Manager Sun dusted off his sleeves, turned around, and left the room.

"This is what it feels like to be a 'sweeper'," Lu Chuan grinned.

After my status was upgraded, not only did my monthly salary increase, but...

The most important thing right now is to go to the library.

That place is where the cultivation techniques are hidden. He wasn't qualified to do that before, but now he is.

Previously, Lu Chuan only owned one Iron Wire Fist, which he purchased at considerable expense.

However, there was no mention of any internal cultivation techniques.

He relied on his own abilities and secretly learned some skills from others, which enabled him to painstakingly cultivate to the minor level of skin refining.

If it weren't for the panel's deduction and enlightenment, which directly led him to break through to the Great Completion Realm, I really don't know how long it would have taken him to break through again without the cultivation method.

In this world, the path of martial arts training is divided into stages such as body tempering, meridian opening, true essence condensation, and the Qi Condensation Realm.

Master He, as the head of Zhenyuan Escort Agency, is a second-level expert in the Meridian Opening Realm.

Lu Chuan, on the other hand, had reached the first minor stage of the Body Tempering Realm: Skin Refining Mastery.

Beyond skin refining, there are two more minor realms: bone forging and blood exchange.

"I was just worried that I didn't have any internal energy cultivation methods to practice, which would make it difficult to make any progress in the future. Now is the perfect time to make up for it."

Lu Chuan tidied up the house, put his belongings away, and then couldn't wait to go out.

He first went to the steward's office to collect his clothes and the official token of a clerk, before heading to the library.

The library is located in the most central and secluded spot inside the backyard of the security company.

Normally, most people don't come here, and outsiders have no chance of getting in.

The martial arts techniques are very precious, and most forces will not easily pass them on to outsiders. Within the escort agency, only those who have obtained an official token are qualified to enter the library to learn the techniques.

The library wasn't large. Lu Chuan showed his token when he arrived, and only then did the gatekeeper let him in.

Inside the room, there were several bookshelves.

Lu Chuan glanced around and saw several bookshelves filled with cultivation manuals, arranged neatly.

Excited, he strode over and began examining each book on the first bookshelf.

"Raging Bull Fist, low-grade mortal level, 70% incomplete..."

As soon as I checked, the panel appeared, actively scanning the fist technique and providing information.

"The Soft Serpent Fist, a low-grade mortal technique, complete."

"Sable-shaped palm..."

Lu Chuan checked them one by one and found that most of the cultivation techniques in the library were of the lower mortal grade.

There are also some of the middle-grade mortals.

High-quality cultivation techniques are extremely rare.

There are only two cultivation techniques at the Spirit Rank, and after scanning the panel, it was found that there were serious missing contents.

Lu Chuan shook his head and focused on examining the internal energy cultivation method, which was what he urgently needed.

After about half an hour, he finally found an internal energy cultivation method that caught his eye.

"Changchun Gong, mid-grade mortal level."

Lu Chuan's heart stirred slightly. Although this internal skill was not of a high grade, its described characteristics were gentle and long-lasting, continuously nourishing the meridians and bones.

Progress may seem slow, but it is actually developing steadily, laying a very solid foundation that will greatly benefit the future.

The other powerful mental techniques seem to be effective quickly, making rapid progress in a short period of time, but they become somewhat powerless in the long run.

"Excellent, this internal cultivation technique suits me."

Lu Chuan put it away with satisfaction.

It doesn't matter if the rank is low; it can be improved through panel deduction later.

He continued to look around, wanting to choose a movement technique.

In actual combat, without good footwork, you will suffer a great loss and are easily injured.

As far as he knew, many martial artists had limited energy and could not cultivate multiple skills. For powerful martial artists, the lack of movement techniques was a major weakness.

There weren't many movement techniques in the library. Lu Chuan looked at them one by one, but couldn't find any that satisfied him, as most of them didn't suit his style.

"Wind-Riding Technique?"

He found this movement technique on the lowest level.

He examined it carefully and found that this movement technique was quite suitable for him.

This is a low-grade spirit-level movement technique. While it has a certain explosive power, its core concept is lightness, which is almost the same as that of the Everlasting Spring Technique. The Wind-Stepping Step is continuous and can be performed for a long time without panting or slowing down.

Lu Chuan continued to flip through the pages, but unfortunately only the first three pages were intact; the pages became illegible from the fourth page onwards, as the paper was wet and rotten.

"No wonder it's on the lowest level. Although it's a Spirit Rank item, it's missing too many things."

He frowned slightly, but as he was carefully observing it, the panel in his mind reappeared.

[Incomplete Sample Detection]

Wind-Treading Technique (Incomplete)

Original grade: lower grade spiritual grade

Degree of loss: Approximately 30%

Perfect completion cost: 1 point of martial arts skill

[Please complete?]

Lu Chuan's heart skipped a beat.

"Not only can it be used to deduce and improve the grade of a cultivation technique, but it can also be used to deduce and complete the technique?"

His eyes lit up with joy. This meant he no longer needed to worry. This movement technique suited him perfectly.

"It's you."

Lu Chuan put it away, but did not rush to deduce it directly.

After all, he only has 1 point of martial arts skill, and he still needs to consider which skill to allocate it to.

After selecting two cultivation techniques, Lu Chuan left the library.

Although there is only one set of boxing techniques as the main means of combat, the two newly acquired techniques have not yet been practiced. If more are chosen, it will only be like biting off more than you can chew, which will backfire.

Back at his residence, Lu Chuan sat down cross-legged to calm himself down.

He took out the Everlasting Spring Skill, preparing to try practicing it.

This is the basic internal energy cultivation method, which he must master first before he can steadily improve.

He circulated his internal energy according to the exercise diagram on the first page.

In an instant, his dantian felt a slight warmth, and his internal energy slowly flowed along his meridians.

This internal energy cultivation method is not as violent as Iron Wire Fist, but with each circle, the meridians subtly swell, like tree roots absorbing water, slow but solid.

After circulating the energy for one cycle, the internal energy in the dantian increased slightly.

At the same time, new words appeared in my mind.

[Technique]

Changchun Gong (Mid-level Mortal: Not yet a beginner)

Enlightenment progress: 3%

"After completing one cycle, the progress of enlightenment is 3%, which is very fast."

Lu Chuan took a deep breath. At this rate, it seemed he still needed to refine the Everlasting Spring Technique and solidify his own cultivation as soon as possible.

Who knows when I'll have to go on escort missions again? I need to strive to reach the Bone Forging Realm as soon as possible so I can deal with more crises.

"Consume martial arts points to deduce the Everlasting Spring Skill."
