Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 197 0196: People without Faith Will Die
Looking at his attribute interface, Cheng Zongyang was happy in his heart.

The progress of practicing the breath-holding method of the Sixth-Level Tongmai Realm has already exceeded half. Although he still needs to continue to break through the acupuncture points of other realms in the future, the progress of practicing the Sixth-Level Realm is extremely satisfactory after all.

According to the records of the cultivation method, the entire middle third level realm is to open up all the meridians in the whole body - the meridians of the five internal organs and the eight extraordinary meridians of the body, all of which are to be broken through in these three realms!

Only by opening up the acupuncture points throughout the body can the true Qi in the upper three realms be released outwards, and even form innate qi outside the body!
After reading it, Cheng Zongyang responded to Luo Dingran's words, saying, "No, I just used my Qi to strengthen my hand. I thought this palm could crack the stone. But my meridians are not open, so I can't release my Qi."

Luo Dingran didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sir, this is granite. Only an expert in releasing true qi can leave such an obvious palm print on it. This is enough to show your strength."

Cheng Zongyang didn't care about this.

But before, I definitely couldn't do this. This shows that the strength of the increase in true energy this time is really not low!
The more and more vigorous the true Qi is, the stronger the strength will be. This is beyond doubt.

"Not bad." Cheng Zongyang smiled.

My strength has improved, and I am in a good mood. If I face Lu Yan again, a head-on punch with 50% of my strength will be enough to cripple him!

While chatting and laughing, Cheng Zongyang went to take a shower to wash off some dirt on the surface of his body that was discharged due to the elixir.

After feeling refreshed, Cheng Zongyang finally felt relaxed all over.

He once again entered into the automatic practice of breath-holding, and this time, he also discovered that the speed at which his Qi was circulating had increased a lot.

"According to the speed of automatic cultivation, it is estimated that one acupoint can be opened in six hours. Normally, three acupoints in two days should be no problem."

Although this speed cannot catch up with the effect brought by the Nine Yang Pill, it also indirectly brings about a change in efficiency.

"The sect's ruins, where could this place be? I wonder if the five hunting teams can find anything."

Cheng Zongyang murmured.

Everything that has a direct impact on his strength basically comes from the sect’s ruins, and many good things also come from this place.

Five hunting teams went hunting in several directions to the north, fully equipped, and also explored some places for Cheng Zongyang.

"After finishing the work in the county, it's time to start exploring the wilderness world. But the range is only 70 kilometers, which is far from enough. I have to make more money and earn more points to get crystal stones."

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

In about eight days, the construction of the Tianduan Gang's Gongyi Hall and Gongbu Hall was basically completed, and they began to cooperate in thoroughly rectifying the environment in the west of the city and cleaning and repairing the buildings in the west of the city.

The people in the entire west of the city were also quickly settling down.

At the same time, Cheng Zongyang also posted the ownership and governance of the four districts in the form of a notice, so that the people would know which family to find where to live, so that the six families would not pretend to be ignorant and make themselves responsible.

In addition, several shops of the Cheng family and the market divided into left and right sides located in the west of the city under the inner city wall also took shape.

The market was divided into North Street and South Street by Li Yihe.

South Street sells fish, meat and vegetables, while North Street sells daily necessities.

Of course, no one can rent a stall to do business at the moment. But at least the stall layout must be divided first.

The Cheng family’s grain shop and salt shop opened first.

Because of the arrival of each family, the originally extremely great food pressure was shared.

Now, Cheng Zongyang only needs to be responsible for the expenses of several thousand people in the west of the city.

In order to mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of the people in the west of the city, grain shops and salt shops started bartering, while continuing to implement the work-for-relief model.

The former requires people to go out of the city to search for medicinal herbs around Tianduan Mountain in exchange for rice, or to provide the location of minerals in exchange for rewards, etc.

The latter hired people to assist the Gongbutang in repairing houses, building new ones, and expanding new farmland outside the city to obtain food.

You can choose either one.

As for the matter of cultivated land, the other six families also imitated this method and began to compete to enclose land and reclaim wasteland outside the city.

Restoring the county town is not something that can be done overnight. If everyone doesn’t want to cooperate, then everyone can just do their own thing.

As a result, although the entire county seemed chaotic, at least the people in their respective areas were able to continue to earn food by working.

May 9th, evening.

Yunli Lane, the study room at home.

Cheng Zongyang put a completed cooperation agreement into the market hut and left his residence for a private house.

In a few days, he also drafted a new oath contract.

The content is not much, but it binds both parties and clarifies their obligations.

Violators will return to the wilderness!

He is willing to develop peacefully and cooperate for mutual benefit. But if the other party is not sincere, don't blame me for plotting against him.

Arriving at an unattended house, Cheng Zongyang opened the key and entered.

In the cellar of the Yu residence, forty-six people who had been arrested in the past few days for malicious wounding and murder were imprisoned.

Cheng Zongyang killed them all and took them into the wilderness world.

Prepare to use the remaining 23 low-level soul crystals. Continue to increase available manpower.

As for the warriors of various races imprisoned in the dungeon of Tianduan Village, they are planned to be kept for use after purchasing intermediate-level soul crystals in the future!

Once all the bodies were disposed of, the bodies disappeared.

When he appeared in the market hut, Luo Dingran had already asked people to carry the body out.

Neatly arranged in pairs, low-level soul crystals flashing red light were placed in front of the head.

As all the arrangements were completed, Cheng Zongyang had a thought and the familiar process appeared again.

As twenty-three new soul slaves appeared, after adding points and copying skills, Cheng Zongyang informed Luo Dingran of their attribute points, skills, and talents one by one.

Among them, Cheng Zongyang was quite happy about the talent of animal affinity, so Luo Zheng could share some of the work.

Luo Dingran wrote them down one by one and had a rough idea of ​​them in his mind.

The staffing will be allocated according to their talents and skills. Of course, this is not a must, and the staffing needs will be adjusted flexibly and temporarily.

"Sir, I've got it. Do you have anything else to tell me?" Luo Dingran asked.

Cheng Zongyang shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Just earn more points."

Then he left the wilderness world.

Looking at this private residence, Cheng Zongyang did not stay long and left for the He family on East Street in the north of the city.

There was no curfew in the county town and there were still some people walking on the streets, but it was very deserted because there was almost no business environment.

Cheng Zongyang was not in a hurry. He observed the situation in the west of the city all the way to the north of the city. When he passed the West Street in the north of the city, he could still see people from the Lu family patrolling the street.

He didn't know what was so interesting about patrolling in this environment. Or was he on guard against something?
After entering Chengbei East Street, there were almost no people on the road, and there was a sense of desolation.

In an empty alley, Cheng Zongyang took out his things and came to the He family's yard.

This time, Cheng Zongyang did not go through the back door, but asked the guards to report at the main gate.

After a while, under the guidance of the guards, they walked through the corridor and went straight to the backyard.

This made Cheng Zongyang a little confused.

"Where is your master?" Cheng Zongyang followed behind the guard and asked with a frown.

"The master asked me to take you to the study." The guard just responded and said nothing more.

Cheng Zongyang naturally didn't ask any more questions.

As for the layout of the He family's courtyard, he was not interested in seeing it. When he arrived at the study, the guard opened the door and said, "Master, here comes the person."

"Well, go ahead." He Shuijun's faint voice came from the study.

"Yes." The guard bowed, closed the door and left after Cheng Zongyang entered.

In the study, as soon as Cheng Zongyang entered the door, he saw the candlelight was bright inside, and He Shuijun was sitting behind the desk reading a book.

"Why didn't you inform me beforehand? I could have arranged a separate place for you."

He Shuijun put down the book in his hand, and was a little surprised by Cheng Zongyang's sudden visit, but more of it was displeasure.

Are you afraid that the other families won't see you coming here? But since everyone is here, there's no need to talk about this.

Cheng Zongyang sat down on the chair opposite him without any hesitation, put the animal skin scroll with the cooperation agreement on the table, and said:

"You take a look first."

He Shuijun didn't care about Cheng Zongyang's direct attitude. When he took the scroll and found that it was animal skin, his eyes paused and revealed a hint of doubt.

An agreement was actually written on animal skin?
Is it that exaggerated?

However, when he spread out the animal skin and read the contents on it, his expression darkened.

He threw the animal skin on the table and said coldly, "Is this a cooperation agreement? Not a curse agreement?"

"I guessed right, are you scared?" Cheng Zongyang smiled slightly.

He Shuijun said: "There is nothing wrong with the agreement between the two parties. But what about Lu Yan's body? Why don't you write it down?"

He had only one goal, which was Lu Yan's body!
In the end, this guy didn't write it down, but just restricted the other party from taking the initiative, agreed that everyone would cooperate with each other, etc. But he needed these?
But then think about it, does this agreement make sense?
Whatever the subsequent results are, they can still be changed at any time. Thinking of this, He Shuijun felt relieved.

So what if I signed it?
Children are children, they are so naive!

Do you think an agreement can bind people?

Cursing? Bullshit.

At this time, Cheng Zongyang said: "Who can guarantee the body? You can go find it yourself when the time comes. But I'm curious, what do you want the body for?"

He had his own secret in wanting the corpse, but what did the other party want to do?
Facing Cheng Zongyang's curious gaze, He Shuijun took the animal skin and looked at it again, saying calmly:

"What I want to do with Lu Yan's body is my business. There is basically nothing wrong with the content of your agreement, but the only requirement is that Lu Yan's body must be delivered to me."

Cheng Zongyang stared at the other person and laughed, "Sign your name and press your blood fingerprint. By the way, you'd better be willing to do it, otherwise, you may be suspected of having other intentions."

He doesn't care what he wants, as long as he can sign the contract. How long he can live depends entirely on whether the other party fulfills the contract.

He Shuijun frowned, "After signing, I still have to put my fingerprints down? Blood fingerprints? What are you going to do?"

Although he didn't care about the content of the agreement, he was still a little hesitant about signing it and putting his fingerprints in blood.

Although he had never seen any ghosts, he never suspected that there were strange means used against people.

In particular, he obtained three pairs of poisonous insects from the poison doctor, as well as a copy of the doctor's personal notes recording the use of poisonous insects to kill people.

Therefore, he would naturally think twice about using his own bloody fingerprints.

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang stretched out his hand and took the animal skin scroll from He Shuijun's hand, saying: "Since you don't want to, there is nothing to say. There is not much for everyone to live in peace. Anyway, I don't want to meddle in other people's business."

Having said that, he stood up, turned around and left.

At this moment, whether to kill Lu Yan or not is just a matter of his decision.

With his current level of cultivation, killing Lu Yan, let alone Li Mingxin, would not be a problem.

If the county was the stable environment it used to be, and if he didn't want to be responsible for the economic and environmental recovery of the entire county, he would have taken action long ago. Why would he waste time with these people and pretend to be nice to them?
He had only one thought in mind - wait until the county had stabilized and then annex them one by one!

"Wait a minute!"

He Shuijun called Cheng Zongyang and said gloomily, "I can sign, but you have to promise two things. First, Lu Yan's body must be delivered! This is non-negotiable. Second, the warriors of my He family!"

Cheng Zongyang stared at He Shuijun for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "I'm sorry, sixty people died that night! Their bodies turned to ashes. I won't waste food on them."

He Shuijun's expression was uncertain.

Cheng Zongyang found it quite interesting. Each family lost ten eighth-grade warriors, which was a big loss.

The families did not take any action to seek revenge, but were still waiting for the truth to be revealed.

Besides, he also wanted to see what this guy wanted to do with Lu Yan's body. But he added:

"Don't worry, I will bring Lu Yan's body to you!"

After hearing this, He Shuijun's depression was relieved a lot.

Why doesn't he do it himself?

That's very simple. Once two equally powerful families start fighting, others will take advantage of them.

Now let Cheng Zongyang solve this biggest problem for me, and if the rest of the Lu family solves it, there won't be much loss.

Moreover, the two families could help each other and prevent other families from attacking the He family. Of course, he had no hope for this.

Of course, there is another purpose, which is to take this opportunity to find out the background of the Cheng family.

As for the Tianduan Gang, he didn't take it seriously at all.

Therefore, his third goal was to test the waters and see if Lu Yan could kill Cheng Zongyang, thereby leading out the rest of the Cheng family. If he was lucky, he might be able to get another piece of territory?
Otherwise, he would not have signed such a ridiculous agreement with this teenager.

In this world, using agreements to restrict family interests?

Innocent!

It was precisely because of these plans and purposes that when Cheng Zongyang handed the animal skin scroll to He Shuijun, he was able to press his name and bloody fingerprints on the animal skin surprisingly smoothly without them disappearing.

This surprised Cheng Zongyang quite a bit.

He thought this guy was saying one thing and thinking another, and was extremely reluctant, but he actually signed the contract willingly.

Now, he was even more curious about why He Shuijun wanted Lu Yan's body.

If the other party is willing, it means that there are greater benefits waiting for the other party to obtain. And this benefit is far greater than the risk that the He family may be swallowed up by other families!
Cheng Zongyang looked at He Shuijun with a deep look in his eyes and smiled:
"As the saying goes, a man without faith will die. I hope that Master He will remember the contents of this agreement well, otherwise the price may be something you cannot afford. I'll leave this agreement with you. By the way, I told you last time what intelligence I wanted."

He did not take the animal skin scroll away, but left it to the other party as a reminder.

This made He Shuijun frown, and suddenly he said playfully: "You leave the agreement with me, aren't you afraid that I will destroy it? You want to use the agreement to restrict my He family, but you can't do it."

As he spoke, He Shuijun took out an envelope from a book beside him and handed it to Cheng Zongyang.

Cheng Zongyang took it and stood up, leaving only one sentence and leaving: "Start at midnight, you still have more than an hour to prepare."

destroyed?

He even hoped that the other party would breach the contract.

At this moment, He Shuijun's expression changed: "Why are you in such a hurry? It will take time to dispatch people..."

However, what responded to him was the background of Cheng Zongyang opening the door and leaving.

"You bastard!" He Shuijun gritted his teeth! His eyes fell on the animal skin agreement on the table, his eyes grim.

Immediately arrange personnel.

Don’t worry about the small things first, the big things are important!
