I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 424: Recruiting a Martial Arts School
In the following period of time, Xiao Huangmao sent out group messages to his friends who were also anchors, operators, planners, editors, etc., inviting all the heroes in the world (bushi).

Li Rentai felt that this guy was unreliable, so he went straight to a big customer who specialized in short videos, namely the Singaporean company TicTucTuc.

Although he is old and his thinking cannot keep up, he is not a creator after all. He is an investor with financial thinking. He does not need to have the thinking of a creator. The creators are all working for him. After all, he is a big shot in Hong Kong and has been running businesses in America for many years. Although he is not as good as the top chaebols, he is also very capable and capable.

However, although he helped to make the contact, the person left behind was Huangmao, so he did not interfere too much. He then took his newly refined flying sword and went to the martial arts gym.

Speaking of martial arts gyms, there are quite a lot of them in San Francisco.

Domestically, martial arts have transformed into dance techniques, but overseas they are flourishing.

There was no Chinatown in America back then. It was just overseas Chinese workers who worked there. They were bullied and had to stick together.

The "Heaven and Earth Society" which opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, also known as the "Hongmen", established branches overseas at this time, and even later moved the entire main body overseas.

In short, the inheritance here has never been interrupted, and even a new sect has been established, becoming more and more prosperous.

In San Francisco's Chinatown, there are "Tai Chi Hall", "Baji Hall", "Hung Fist Hall", "Baguazhang Hall" and "Wing Chun Hall".

Of course, these martial arts schools are mostly attended by foreign Kung Fu fans, while the real practitioners are still Chinese, who are taught by master and apprentice.

Many of these older generation Chinese are from Fujian and Guangdong. They are more traditional and have preserved many customs.

Therefore, every Spring Festival, there will be parades of gods, couplets, lanterns, lion and dragon dances.

Especially the lion dance, Americans here love to watch it. When a store opens, they like to invite lion dancers to liven up the business.

Because of this tradition, a considerable portion of the incense burning at Tongtian Temple actually comes from Chinatown.

It doesn't rely on the money from incense offerings to make a living, but Chinese people are free to enter, and ordinary foreigners come in to visit the museum. After all, there are still many antiques and magic tools.

Li Rentai is a good friend of a Hong Kong martial arts master who came to America. In the past, before Xu Jia came, he was the abbot of Tongtian Temple and practiced martial arts. In fact, he was not much different from these martial arts masters. Except for drawing talismans and rituals, when it came to real fighting, he was just at the level of health preservation.

However, these martial artists felt that Li Rentai was different. Firstly, as the master of the Taoist temple, he seemed like a hermit. Secondly, after practicing Taoism for a long time, his temperament had changed. He had read Taoist scriptures thoroughly and had gained a lot of wisdom. This made these martial arts disciples, who generally had low academic qualifications, feel that they had learned a lot, which was also helpful for their progress in martial arts.

Thirdly, Li Rentai is rich, and rich people are respected wherever they go.

It was only after Xu Jia came and changed the painting style of Tongtian Temple and taught the true cultivation method that he gradually became busy, doing this and that, and his cultivation level increased rapidly.

This time he came to the "Bajiquan Club", which was opened overseas by the disciple of the great spearman Li Shuwen, and this disciple passed the tradition down to eight generations.

The head of the sect is in his fifties, but he is no longer in charge of anything. The eldest senior brother, who is in his early forties and in good health, is the instructor.

There are no apprentices here, except for those in their teens. Most of the disciples must be adults.

It’s not like the University of Tokyo, which has a special martial arts school to cultivate children’s skills.

The eldest senior brother of Baji Hall was not tall, about 1.7 meters, wearing a black training suit. His face was just like that of a veteran actor who could sit at the table with veteran actors if he were to act. He looked three points like Li Xuejian, two points like Yu Chenghui, five points like Wang Baoqiang, and the remaining ninety points were left to his own imagination.

His name was "Tan Pengcheng". His ancestor was a relative of "Tan Sitong, one of the Six Gentlemen of the Reform Movement of 1898", and was considered a prominent family. Later, his family moved overseas, and they also did business here. By this generation, he had no worries about food and clothing, so he pursued the true meaning of life and practiced martial arts here.

The truth is that he was once an internet addict and was forcibly sent here by his parents. However, he gradually fell in love with the atmosphere here and was interested in traditional martial arts culture. In addition, he had a good talent for martial arts and learned the true skills.

If he were not in the martial arts gym, he would have to go back and fight with his younger brothers and sisters for the family property. It would be better to be comfortable here. Anyway, no one will stop supporting him. The one million US dollars pocket money every month will be endless if he doesn't spend it carefully.

Damn, evil capitalists!
Whether it is practicing martial arts or cultivating immortality, it has always been a game for the rich. Poor people will never achieve anything great.

Li Rentai walked into the martial arts hall where several disciples were practicing boxing. The floor of the hall was dented by their feet. The strange noises of "Hum" and "Ha" were actually the breathing techniques of Bajiquan. They were masculine and shallow, not as continuous as the Taoist breathing techniques. They were intermittent and would not make such sounds.

When Tan Pengcheng saw Li Rentai coming, he stopped correcting the students who were taking the speed learning routine in the summer class. These students had 24 lessons, each lasting two hours, and the guaranteed version cost 28,000 US dollars.

Because they are paid a lot of money, the masters don't actually have any "keeping a trick up their sleeve". Firstly, keeping a trick up their sleeve is no longer useful in modern times. Secondly, no matter how high your kung fu skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. Even if you are not afraid of kitchen knives, the Spear of Liberty of America is not something that mortal flesh and blood can resist.

The martial arts in this world are different from the system of refining the skin, flesh, tendons, bones and five internal organs in Sanqing Mountain. It is also different from the world of swordsmen, where the innate true Qi is acquired and then the innate true Qi is returned, and eventually one is called a Qigong practitioner and swordsman. This belongs to the "national martial arts system."

That is the system of "Ming Jin, An Jin, Hua Jin". The system above that has been lost. However, the system used in online literature is probably "Gang Jin" and "Dan Jin".

In short, the painting style is different, but as the earth upgrades, it will definitely become more mysterious. Now that the cultivation of immortals has been initiated, let alone martial arts. But martial arts actually also belongs to the "category of cultivating immortals". Life skills and sexual skills go hand in hand. Isn't Chen Gongming walking the "physical immortal path"? It is also the way to use the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit.

It’s just that practicing martial arts can help you discover the power in your body, the secrets of your flesh, cultivate immortality and connect you to the Dharma Realm, and pay more attention to the unity of man and nature, absorbing the power of heaven and earth and the energy of the universe.

The unity of inner and outer is what Lu Zu called "the righteous path of the celestial immortals."

Tan Pengcheng bowed to Li Rentai and said, "Senior Li, why are you here all of a sudden? My master is not here. He went to Binzhou to join in the fun."

"Why is he going to Binzhou?" Li Rentai was curious.

"During the American presidential election, he went to the swing states to watch the excitement of Trump. Last time Trump was assassinated, Master shook his head and stamped his feet, wondering why he was not there. Now that Trump is there again, he took a plane overnight to watch the excitement."

Li Rentai was speechless. The current Xingyi Pavilion master was named Dong Erchuan. His cultivation had already entered the initial stage of Huajin, and he could be considered a master of the sect.

Of course, entering the state of Hua Jin does not mean that one will be better in fighting. After all, most people who have cultivated to this level are usually in their sixties or seventies, which means they are old and weak.

There is a famous saying in the martial arts world: Even a random punch can kill the master.

Hua Jin is ultimately just a technique. To enter this realm is to enrich the theory of martial arts and reach a state of breaking through predecessors and completing one's own theoretical system.

Although not all of them may be innovative and unique, they are integrated and draw on the strengths of many others.

"American election, what's the point of watching him?"

"Master has placed a bet of 1.5 million US dollars on Trump's victory in this election." Tan Pengcheng sighed, "Now is the most critical moment."

Li Rentai said with a click of his tongue: "It seems that he is unlucky. The opportunity that was delivered to his doorstep was missed."

Then he pulled Tan Pengcheng to a deserted place in the backyard and said seriously, "Young man, do you believe in the method of cultivating immortals?"

Tan Pengcheng thought about it and said, "Master said that there are indeed otherworldly masters, such as the first ancestor of Tongtian Temple. However, we martial artists are full of vigor and vitality, so we rarely see any supernatural things. I believe in divination and feng shui, but I have doubts when it comes to cultivating immortals."

"Good, good, good!"

What Li Rentai wanted was that he didn't believe it, so he immediately used the sword technique: "Go!"

I saw a small sword rising into the air. This sword was different from ordinary swords. It had no hilt and was smaller in size, less than one foot long. It was shining with cold light and had seven-star holes on it. When it broke through the wind, it made a humming sound.

The flying sword cut through a wooden man and sliced ​​through a water jar without making any sound, and then it slid down, leaving the cut surface unusually smooth.

After the sword was out, it was not retracted, but just flew and jumped in circles within three feet of Li Rentai.

"Do you want to learn this flying sword technique?"

Tan Pengcheng was extremely excited at this time, his face was red, and his eyes were bulging, as if he had hyperthyroidism.

"Could this be the flying sword technique that was recorded in ancient times and passed down by Kong Kong'er, Tuotuo'er, Nie Yinniang, and White Ape?"

"In fact, it was also passed down in the Ming Dynasty." Li Rentai said, "Now our ancestor is passing on the Dharma, and even improved it. It's just that I see that the disciples in the middle sect are dwindling, so I want to unite you and recruit a group of outer disciples... No, according to the ancestor, it's to establish a company and recruit talents, and you martial artists have abundant Qi and blood, and are the most suitable for turning to immortal cultivation."

"Ah? Is there any price or threshold? Senior, isn't it a bit too sudden for you to say this? How much tuition do I have to pay to learn? One million dollars? Or ten million dollars? I'll go and raise the money now?"

"Hahaha, I won't charge you any money. If you are really predestined, everything will be free."

"But free is the most expensive, isn't it?"

"That makes sense, but my Tongtian Temple is still expanding. Do you think I, as the temple master, need to lie to you? I don't know how much assets I have in the temple..."

"Not only you, but also any of the many martial arts schools in San Francisco that you know of can come and learn. You just need to worship the founder and abide by the rules and regulations of the school. There are no other restrictions."

"Then I'll call Master and tell him to stop watching the Wang election and come back quickly!"
