Chapter 18 Interior View! The True Nature of Heaven and Earth!
Fang Qi's eyes lit up.
Become!
Jia Si successfully made the talisman on her first try!
Is this what genius is?
I admire you, but I'm not jealous!
Instead, they became excited.
Because these are my people.
"Good! There will be a reward!"
Fang Qi waved his sleeve, and the door closed automatically.
"master..."
......
In broad daylight, under the clear sky, Fang Qi simply wanted to tease Jia Si, this talented woman.
But after the joke, he became somewhat worried.
Jia Si does indeed have the talent to make talismans, but how to enable Jia Si to make talismans independently has become a problem.
The Pure Water Talisman is only a beginner-level talisman and has little effect. Powerful talismans, such as the Golden Gang Talisman and the Water Arrow Talisman, require the talisman maker to have spiritual power.
However, this world lacks spiritual energy, so even if he imparts his cultivation techniques to Jia Si, she will be unable to practice them.
"There are two ways to train Jia Si."
"Take Jia Si to the cultivation world, or set up a spirit-gathering array."
After a brief consideration, Fang Qi abandoned the former.
Putting aside the fact that no one can reveal the secret of traveling between the two worlds for the time being, even if Jia Si were taken to the cultivation world, where would she be placed as a living person? That would be a problem.
His little courtyard by Biyang Lake couldn't hide him.
Furthermore, compared to taking people to the cultivation world, setting up a spirit-gathering array in the Republic of China era is more feasible.
Of course, he couldn't set it up himself.
Although he had a book called "Divine Notes on Formations" on him, it was far too advanced for a complete novice like him.
"It would be much simpler to just buy a set of spirit-gathering array plates and flags to set it up."
"But the materials for these kinds of array plates that can be set up anytime, anywhere are very expensive..."
"Even if I take out all the spirit stones I have left, I might not be able to buy a single array flag."
"Not to mention, the spirit gathering array itself consumes a huge amount of spirit stones."
"So, you have to make money first."
......
"Western medicines are selling like hotcakes, and the dividend is a thousand silver dollars?"
Fang Qi was thinking about making money in the morning, and good news came knocking on his door in the middle of the day.
His investment in Blood Gold Essence became a hit in the martial arts world, and Liu Yanru came to congratulate him with her share of the profits.
"I have already arranged a banquet at Wangjiang Pavilion. I wonder if Mr. Fang has the time?"
Liu Yanru wore her usual high-slit cheongsam, and today she even opened the neckline wide, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.
"How could I be disrespectful to such a kind lady?"
Fang Qi also wanted to ask Liu Yanru about some things, so he readily agreed.
The two went out and headed to Wangjiang Pavilion together.
As they were leaving the manor, Lin Zhan and Lin Zhou watched their young master chatting happily with his master, and for a moment they were a little confused.
They have been lying in wait at the Fang residence for three months, but with Young Master Liu acting like this, there is no sign of him wanting to close the net.
If we don't close the net, are they just going to stay here as guards forever?
"Brother, actually, the old man is quite nice..."
......
Wangjiang Pavilion.
Liu Yanru ordered a table full of food, including everything that flies in the sky, swims in the sea, and runs in the mountains, as well as delicacies from land and sea, bird's nest and shark fin.
The Fang family's usual meals were similar to these, so they only ate a few bites of each to try them out, and that was about it.
"Would you like some more, sir?" Liu Yanru had drunk quite a bit of wine, and her face was slightly flushed.
She sat beside him, seemingly drunk, and leaned towards Fang Qi intentionally or unintentionally.
For some reason, she felt that this gentleman, who was younger than her, was different today, exuding a captivating aura.
"If you drink any more, you'll drink too much," Fang Qi said with a faint smile.
As cultivators, they will not get drunk no matter how much of these mortal wines they drink.
He won't get drunk, and neither will Liu Yanru, a master of internal strength, who is not so easily intoxicated.
However, he roughly knew why the woman was pretending to be drunk to get close to him.
As he broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, the fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from his body subtly drew people closer.
Jia Si and Jia Nian have done this many times.
This woman is probably no exception.
"So what if there's more? Are you afraid of Yanru, sir?" Liu Yanru's actions became increasingly bold.
Her delicate face and the shape of her breasts were almost touching Fang Qi's.
dong dong!
"Mr. Fang, Ms. Liu, Chairman Zhou just informed us that the 19th meeting of the Tongji Society Wangjiang Branch will be held in half an hour." A voice rang out from outside.
Liu Yanru instantly snapped out of her daze, a blush immediately spreading across her face.
"Please excuse my poor appearance, sir."
She quickly turned around, composed herself, and said, "Sir, let's go over there."
"Mm." Fang Qi nodded.
The two went up to the fifth floor of Wangjiang Pavilion.
Meng Yusen, Cheng Ting, Xu Fangjing, and Zhou Wei had already arrived. When they saw Fang Qi and Liu Yanru enter, reeking of alcohol, their expressions subtly changed.
However, after a brief guess, Meng Yusen stepped forward and said, "President Zhou has something urgent to attend to, so let's proceed with the meeting now."
"As usual, I'll go first."
"The Cao and Feng warlords have already sent vanguard troops into Tianjin and, through various means, have taken over several ports from the Bian and Hua families."
"I heard that it was to purchase gold-plated cannons from Westerners and transport them via the dock."
This alchemical cannon is incredibly powerful, capable of easily killing even a master of internal energy. Even a master of external energy might be injured facing such a cannon.
Cheng Ting continued, "The Japanese dojos are challenging other dojos everywhere. They've practically taken down all the second-rate martial arts schools in Tianjin, and they've declared that the people of Tianjin are all sick men from the East."
Currently, the Black Dragon Society, Xingyi Quan School, and Fenglei Martial Arts School have taken the initiative to challenge the Japanese dojo.
Furthermore, in the concession area, Westerners are aggressively recruiting ordinary people, claiming that anyone who goes there can practice Western witchcraft and alchemy.
"However, this matter is most likely false. The real purpose of this so-called cultivation is to use us as guinea pigs for experiments."
As Cheng Ting spoke, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
The Japanese openly oppressed them, while the Westerners used all sorts of underhanded methods to harm them.
Zhou Wei, with her exceptional martial spirit, also said, "Recently, demon kings such as the Octopus Demon Fish and the Nine-Headed Hydra Demon have approached the coast of Tianjin, causing damage to several medium-sized ports. The joint defense forces dispatched many experts to drive these demons away..."
Fang Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
There are demons in this world, but most of them live in the sea and are relatively few on land. Most of them hide in deep mountains and forests.
I wonder if there's a difference between demons and monsters...
The "Ten Thousand Beasts Controlling Spirit Technique" requires demon cores and the blood of five demons, which is unlikely to be obtained in the cultivation world in the short term.
But if the demons here are monsters, then there is much more room for maneuver.
Next, the group continued to share information.
For example, a business opportunity may emerge somewhere, or a master may appear in the martial arts world of Tianjin, who integrates the strengths of various schools to create a new martial art.
Fang Qi listened silently.
After the information exchange is complete, the martial arts sparring begins.
But just as Meng Yusen and Cheng Ting were about to clash, Chairman Zhou Chongyue arrived.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting."
Zhou Chongyue was holding a scroll. When Liu Yanru saw the scroll, her expression changed, and she immediately cleared the table next to her.
"There is indeed a reason why I have called everyone here today."
Zhou Chongyue laid the scroll on the table and slowly unfurled it.
Just as Fang Qi and the others were wondering what kind of painting was worth Chairman Zhou personally unfurling, Liu Yanru said from the side:
"The master who created the new martial arts that I just mentioned is Chairman Zhou."
"And this interior view was also created by Chairman Zhou."
Interior view!
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.
The so-called inner vision refers to the inner spiritual world that a martial artist creates by communicating with acupoints and internal organs through their own spirit, and by condensing their personal insights.
Like an "inner world," it is a microcosm of a martial artist's own path of martial arts, and it is difficult for even one in a thousand people to cultivate an inner vision.
Moreover, these people are basically all masters of internal energy transformation.
With their level of internal strength, it's almost impossible for them to develop inner vision.
Once mastered, not only will one's spirit be strengthened and comprehension greatly increased, but one's physical strength will also multiply several times.
More importantly, with inner vision, one can continuously practice the breakthrough process from hidden strength to transformed strength, thereby increasing the success rate of breaking through the barrier of transformed strength.
Therefore, when Chairman Zhou Chongyue said, "This inner landscape diagram is available for everyone to study and comprehend," everyone was excited.
Fang Qi was no exception, but he quickly calmed down.
This Tongji Society, nominally for the salvation of the nation, was, in reality, based on his experience during that time, a society that was fundamentally about exchanging their own interests.
This chairman is indeed very strong, but he is still human, and humans cannot be separated from humanity.
Such precious martial arts techniques, would they really give them away for free?
As expected, just as everyone was getting impatient, Chairman Zhou glanced at the crowd and smiled:
"The inner landscape is the collision between one's true nature and martial arts, a manifestation of the operation of the rules of heaven and earth. My inner landscape diagram must also follow the rules, so whether you are destined to meet it depends on yourselves."
