After repeated consideration, Meng Zhou had a definite answer in his mind.

And based on their current situation, they sorted out the order of priority.

The first sequence of martial arts skills: Finger Sword Palm Knife, Turtle Snake Strength, and Crane Control Hand.

These are also the three martial arts skills that the former master was most focused on after he became a practitioner.

The most indispensable martial arts are attack martial arts, but most of them are worthless to practitioners, because their power can only be exerted in close combat.

As for practitioners, the three most common methods, spells, magic weapons, and talismans, can attack the enemy dozens of steps away, and it is impossible to give people a chance to engage in close combat.

Finger sword and palm knife are rare attacking martial arts that are suitable for both near and far.

Melee combat with bare hands is very sharp. The fingers are like swords and the palms are like knives. Since the movement of the palms implies the principles of sword use, you can also use the sword immediately, just like using the fingers with your arms.

What makes Meng Zhou even more excited is that it has two long-range attack modes. The warrior's internal power can be stimulated through both palms and ten fingers.

The "Sword Qi Finger" is sharp and quick, good at breaking through and breaking through the face;

The "Spinning Palm Knife" is more powerful and can attack in an arc.

Moreover, it can also be used as a stimulating skill for hidden weapons, which is enough to make up for its lack of power compared to close combat.

The original owner relied on this martial skill to have a glorious record of killing monks at the sixth level of Qi training.

Turtle Snake Strength, defensive martial arts.

When encountering an inevitable attack, the surface of the body can be as smooth as snake skin or as hard as tortoise shell, which can disperse the damage to the maximum extent and weaken the damage suffered by oneself.

The Crane Controller is also known as the "All-rounder".

Condensing a powerful magic hand, it can attack, defend, dismantle and block. It can also be used to capture magic weapons from the air.

Although the attack is not as sharp as the finger sword and palm knife, and the defense is not as professional as the turtle snake strength, it can enrich his response options and has comprehensive application.

The second sequence of martial arts: magic steps and dragon movement, magical walking for thousands of miles, shrinking bones and disguising one's appearance.

The first two are both Qinggong, but the Magical Walking Dragon is good at dodging and moving within a small area, while the strength of the Wanli Shenxing is traveling long distances.

As the name suggests, Bone Shrinking and Disguise is a martial art that can transform bones and facial features to a great extent.

Qinggong and disguise, like offensive and defensive martial arts, are almost essential means for all warriors to travel in the world.

The martial arts he carefully selected not only cover all aspects as much as possible, but are also the most outstanding martial arts of their kind. Either they have been improved by the original owner, or they are new wine in old bottles.

In addition to these six martial arts, Meng Zhou also took an elective spell.

Breath-holding technique.

Just like the meaning of disguise to warriors, as long as there are conditions, practitioners will practice a spell that hides Qi and condenses breath. This is also the most proficient one among the few spells that the original owner knows.

In order to practice this technique, when he faced the crowd, his aura would fluctuate up and down, and he would often show off his level one or two Qi training to others. This is why Meng Zhou dared to use his first level Qi training to act like a paper tiger.

.

For gangsters like Lao San, this is nothing unusual.

After sorting out his recent goals, Meng Zhou began to slowly calm down, and the magic power of Shui Yang Jue began to slowly circulate in his body, and he gradually immersed himself in the state of practice.

Those martial arts skills and spells are just "skills", and improving one's cultivation is the "Tao".

After a night of practice, Meng Zhou checked his condition.

[Name: Meng Zhou]

[Life span: 51/52 years]

[Status: Weak]

[Realm: Qi training level 1: 3/100]

[Exercise: Introduction to Water Nourishing Technique: 15/50]

[Skill: Water Diving Step Small Success: 12/40]

After one night of practice, the experience of the Water Nourishing Technique was +10, and the realm progress was +2. Meng Zhou was very satisfied with this, and it had exceeded his most optimistic expectations.

"Every time the Water Nourishing Technique operates for one week, you can gain +1 experience, and every time it operates for five weeks, your cultivation progress can increase by +1."

"The original body originally had the cultivation level of the fourth level of qi training. Although the cultivation level is useless, the body is still the same body. Rebuilding it will naturally save a lot of effort."

To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is like a bad high school student returning to junior high school. Even if he has forgotten all the knowledge points, as long as he works hard, it will definitely take less effort to learn and it will be easier to learn than a real junior high school student.

After leaving the quiet room, Meng Zhou went to the kitchen.

When this small single-family courtyard was built, according to the wishes of Lao Er Lao San and others, they wanted to arrange a few helpers to take care of their daily lives, but the original owner simply refused.

None of the Baijiang Gang knew that he had mistakenly practiced the Blood Demon Kung Fu, and he didn't intend to let them know.

He pays great attention to his daily interactions with them, but there are inevitably times when he is negligent in daily life, and he never wants to be wary of this and that in daily life. This is also an important reason why he does not live with other gang members.

This situation is what Meng Zhou likes to see. The only trouble is that he has to do three meals a day himself.

The stove has two holes. In order to save trouble, he planned to cook one pot of rice and stew the meat and vegetables in one pot. Even if martial arts training consumes a lot of money, these two pots are enough for him to cope with the whole day.

Putting the two pots into the stove respectively, Meng Zhou sat in front of the stove adding firewood to the fire while thinking about today's practice plan.

If possible, continuing to retreat in a quiet room to practice the Water Nourishing Technique is the best way to maximize your profits.

After all, the state of cultivation is the foundation.

Unfortunately, things are not that simple.

If the human body is regarded as a treasure, cultivation is the process of digging and mining this treasure. This is not an easy task.

The body, mind, and mental energy will all be consumed. It is not the accumulation of lactic acid and mental fatigue after strenuous exercise, but it is more absolute. Meng Zhou calls it "negative energy accumulation." If it exceeds the limit and must be forced to practice, it is harmful and useless.

This kind of "negative energy" accumulated in the body and mind can only be relieved and slowly recovered by stopping practice and getting enough sleep and rest.

The lower the realm, the lower the tolerance in this area. This is why it is said that cultivation requires a certain degree of relaxation and relaxation.

A very common phenomenon can explain this. It is almost impossible for Qi-training monks to remain in seclusion for a long time. However, for monks in the foundation-building and elixir-forming realms, the higher their cultivation level, the more they like to be in seclusion for a long time. One retreat can last for three or five times.

Months, or even three to five years are not unusual.

Don't the Qi Practitioners want to be in seclusion for several years at a time?

Now he can practice the Water Nourishing Technique for ten weeks at a time, which is his limit.

“I heard that spiritual tea has the effect of cleansing the body and mind and can improve the efficiency of spiritual practice.

I don’t know what the real situation is, but I will definitely try it if I have the opportunity in the future.”

Looking at a piece of firewood in front of him, Meng Zhou suddenly used his palm to chop it with a knife.

"Click"——

The firewood broke at the sound, but Meng Zhou shook his head dissatisfied.

Just because the texture of the broken wood is uneven, it is not as smooth as cutting it with a sharp blade.

He then used his fingers as a sword and stabbed at a piece of firewood, but the firewood just made a hollow sound.

If you are good at pointing a sword, you can easily poke a hole in the wood in front of you.

Click, click, click——

Duh, duh, duh——

Then, the stove began to make these two sounds alternately.

…

Noon. In the courtyard.

Meng Zhou, who was seriously doing high leg raises in the water tank, seemed to have an epiphany, and various inspirations about the water crossing steps burst into his heart.

His mastery of the Water Step has risen to a new level at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Originally, the water line was at the middle of his calf. With this understanding, his body slowly rose up in the water, and finally stabilized at a position seven or eight centimeters above his ankle.

The speed of alternating legs has also slowed down a lot, and the frequency is about the same as walking casually.

【The Great Success of the Water Step: 0/80】

And this is not the biggest change in this upgrade.

Meng Zhou did not stand still in the water tank, but wandered freely within the square inch of the water tank, sometimes slashing like a knife, sometimes stabbing like a sword.

His attention was almost entirely on his hands, and he did not pay attention to the movements of his feet at all. However, his body was still firmly supported by the soft water, and he did not appear to be sinking at all.

At this moment, there was no need for him to pay any attention, as the water crossing step of the Dacheng realm seemed to be integrated into his instinct.

And for every moment he stays on the water surface, the experience of the Great Water Step will be steadily +1.

Meng Zhou didn't pay much attention to this, and all his attention was focused on the fingers of his hands.

At the same time, he practiced finger sword, palm sword and water crossing step, which consumed more of his body and mana, and made him tired more easily. Meng Zhou also took several breaks in the middle.

Finally, at the moment when the setting sun melted gold and the dusk clouds merged, Meng Zhou pierced his finger like a sword, and a sharp sword energy pierced out from the fingertip and flew ten meters before collapsing and disappearing.

"Finally we're here." Meng Zhou was overjoyed.
