Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

The Grand Commander of the Qingtian Guards and Uncle Fu were chatting in the Qinglian Pavilion. They talked about everything from the decadent situation in the court to the chaos in the martial arts world. They couldn't help feeling a little worried. However, when they thought about the scene in the future where tens of thousands of well-trained elite Qingtian Guards would roam the martial arts world and no one in the world would dare to disobey their token, they became excited again and couldn't help but smile at each other.

After a short pause, the Grand Commander suddenly asked Uncle Fu, "Did anything major happen in Longxing City during my absence? This city is the accompanying capital, where your Majesty hibernated in the past, so nothing can go wrong."

"No, no, nothing will go wrong!" Uncle Fu shook his head and smiled, "Hong Gang is quite capable. He has issued a large number of tasks internally, and he has also learned from you to wipe out the nearby bandits, pirates, and horse bandits. This has not only ensured the stability of Peijing and the surrounding areas, but also trained those little guys!"

The Grand Commander nodded in satisfaction and asked with a smile: "How is the training effect? ​​What are the outstanding features of these new recruits? How are they better than the ones we had before?"

"The effect is good. It's still hard to tell which one is better or worse at the moment, but this group of newcomers are indeed smart and have great potential. The only thing is that they are not as loyal and rule-abiding as our old people!" said Uncle Fu.

"Loyalty can be cultivated slowly, and abiding by rules can be taught later. There always has to be an adaptation process!" The Grand Commander said indifferently.

"Hong Gang meant the same thing!" Uncle Fu echoed.

"Oh, right," Uncle Fu suddenly remembered something and said, "Old Chen sent me a message saying that he found a good talent. He is young but has great martial arts skills. He is steady and smart, and he values ​​friendship and loyalty. He suggested that we focus on training him."

"Oh?" The Grand Commander asked with great interest, "He hasn't had anyone he likes for many years. What kind of amazing genius caught his eye?"

"Speaking of which, you also know this person. He is Qiao Rui, the Blue Wolf of the Wind Tribe whom you personally recruited. Now, in just a few months, he has become the Golden Wolf of the Wind Tribe!" Uncle Fu said with a smile.

"Him?" The Grand Commander remembered that during the first battle of the reconstruction of the Qingtian Guard, there were four general leaders in the capital, and there were also divine guards of various titles assisting from the side, so he came to the accompanying capital Longxing City to command the suppression of the rebellion. After all, this city had a special feeling for her.

I remember that he met a group of new recruits in Qinglian Pavilion at that time. He was so excited that he personally recruited two of them, a calm and affectionate man, and a cute and skillful girl.

Thinking of this, the Grand Commander's mouth curled up slightly and said with a smile: "He was promoted to the Golden Seal Sky Guard so quickly?"

"Yes, this boy and his little female companion did a mission on their way back to their hometown in the countryside. They took down a group of water bandits who had been entrenched for many years. The rapist Yizhihongxing, who made a lot of noise not long ago, was also captured and killed by him single-handedly. As a result, he accumulated merits and was promoted to the Golden Seal Sky Guard. It is said that this boy also broke the Lotus Fall Formation of the Beggar Gang in Daye City and killed Liu Dabiao, the leader of the Qingmu Hall of the Daye branch of the Beggar Gang, who was maliciously provocative. This man is so decisive, brave and resourceful. His methods, character and martial arts are all top-notch at the time, so he won the favor of Old Chen!" Uncle Fu replied.

"Where is he now?" The Grand Commander asked casually, nodding with satisfaction.

"It's in the city." Uncle Fu pointed to the area in the west of the city and said, "He opened a 'Yunlai Inn' on Zhoujiang Road. At the beginning, the business was pretty good. Later, the Lu family from Lianhua County made a big move into the restaurant and inn business in Longxing City, and used a lot of dirty tricks to suppress other restaurants and inns in the city. As a result, 'Yunlai Inn' was also hit hard, and its business plummeted. Now it is holding an event called 'Searching for Immortals in the Country of Wine' to save itself, and it seems to be working well."

"Looking for immortals in the Land of Wine?" The Grand Commander's eyes lit up, and his slender white fingers tapped the railing subconsciously, making a slight sound.

"They took out a kind of strong liquor called Zuixianniang, which is known as 'Three gourds and you won't leave the city'. They said that anyone who could drink three gourds of liquor within half an hour and then leave the city alone without relying on any external force or internal power would be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!" Uncle Fu continued to explain.

"Immortal Drunken Wine?" The Grand Commander said silently with a smile on his face...

The activity of seeking immortals in the Wine Country was in full swing, and the occupancy rate of Yunlai Inn remained above 70%, which was considered to be on the right track. Qiao Rui no longer needed to worry about it. He practiced martial arts at home every day, or cultivated his internal skills, or comprehended the advanced light skill Yunhe Jiuxiao, in order to integrate and promote his own light skill and improve himself.

I got the secret book of Qinggong from Yizhihongxing, but I never took a good look at it. Now that I have some free time, I might as well study it and practice it.

Ever since the great changes in the world began, Qiao Rui knew that his own martial arts was the foundation of his life, so he has been practicing diligently without slacking off. Coupled with his amazing comprehension, high-quality aptitude, and the never-ending assistance of elixirs, his internal strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has mastered various martial arts one after another. His moves have become more and more smooth and his combat power has greatly increased. If he faces Feiyun Manor again, he can destroy it with a single move.

One afternoon, Qiao Rui was practicing his martial arts moves in the yard when Tian Jing sent someone to inform him that someone had finally succeeded in challenging the "Three Gourds Without Leaving the City" challenge and asked him if he wanted to go and meet him.

Qiao Rui hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement. Since Tian Jing came to ask, she probably wanted him to go and take a look. He asked the waiter to go back first, and Qiao Rui changed out of his training clothes, tidied up his appearance, and then rode on the Lilong horse to the Yunlai Inn.

The Banyue Lane in Wenjiaofang where Qiao Rui's home is located is not too far from Zhoujiang Road. It only takes a cup of tea to get there by riding a Lilong horse. The entrance of the inn is very lively. Tian Jing is hosting the "Searching for Immortals in the Land of Wine" event. Perhaps someone has finally succeeded in the challenge. Many people and passers-by are talking about it and looking into the inn lobby from time to time.

As soon as Qiao Rui got off his horse and approached, Tian Jing came over and told the servant to take the Lilong horse to the stable in the backyard and take good care of it. Tian Jing smiled and said, "You came quickly."

Qiao Rui grinned when he heard this and said, "How dare I not be anxious when a beautiful lady summons me?"

"Slippery tongue!" Tian Jing glared at Qiao Rui and said with a sneer, "You seem to be a very leisurely boss. You haven't come to visit for several days!"

Although Tian Jing was a little tired, she was in good spirits, looked energetic and full of energy. Seeing that the event was a great success and the inn's business was getting better and better, her pride and satisfaction were beyond words.

Qiao Rui thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work!"

With a sweet smile, like the spring breeze in March, Tian Jing pursed her lips and said softly, "Not bad!"

She lifted her hair and pointed to the lobby of the inn with her beautiful eyes. "The one who succeeded in the challenge is a Taoist nun. As the host, do you want to go in and say hello to her and congratulate her?"

Seeing Tian Jing say this, Qiao Rui nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be back soon!" After that, he walked towards the lobby, leaving Tian Jing to continue watching outside.
