Chapter 100: Immersed in the Game, Refining Marrow and Qi

After making sure that the three of them had understood his intention, Geng Xuan talked about another matter.

“It’s a pity that Shi Jun met with such misfortune, but the rules cannot be abolished because of the person.

I have decided to promote Wang Xi to the position of Dharma Protector, and together with the three of you, he will be responsible for managing the daily affairs of the gang.

What do you think? "

After hearing this, Luo Qing and the other two were moved.

Regardless of what everyone was thinking, one thing they understood was that they had no say in this matter.

The gang leader, who actually holds absolute control over the "Giant Bear Gang", will never allow them to challenge his authority in this regard.

In fact, the fact that the gang leader told them that he knew it at this moment and used a tone of consultation and inquiry showed that he was very respectful to them.

You must be ungrateful and you must not take advantage of others.

"Wang Xi is a good guy, he has a calm personality and can shoulder heavy responsibilities." Luo Qing said.

"Although his cultivation is a little inferior, he is much younger than us. If he can be given more resources, his future achievements will definitely be greater than ours." Ding Yong said.

"The boss has a good eye for talent. I can't give him much help, but I am willing to do my best to help him grow." Teng Yu said.

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "I don't plan to expand the size of the gang at the moment. However, after Wang Xuan takes over as the guardian, two of the ten gang members will be vacant. You can discuss who would be the most suitable replacement."

——In the conflict with Zhong Yuanba, two people died, including Shi Jun, and one was disabled, but the other dead person besides Shi Jun was not a member of the Giant Bear Gang.

Luo Qing and the other two nodded.

Geng Xuan continued:
"I definitely don't mean that other brothers, except for the fourteen of you, are not responsible.

As long as they are willing, they will become our brothers in the gang in the future.

The reason why we don't recruit everyone at once now is just to make our Giant Bear Gang more standardized and rigorous.

You can see that our Giant Bear Gang is a blank slate except for its name. We have to start from scratch. If we recruit too many members at once, it will only do more harm than good."

Although many people have objections to this, they naturally will not jump out to refute anything at this time.

Since the gang leader has promised that we will all be family and brothers in the future, we should just listen obediently now.

Geng Xuan said to Luo Qing and the other two, "So, when you allocate resources, don't have any prejudices about helping the insiders or the outsiders.

A resource will be given to whoever is more suitable, whoever needs it most, and whoever can use it to improve our overall strength more."

His clear statement immediately brightened the hearts of many people in the audience.

Just when everyone was beginning to calculate how many advantages they had and how much resources they could get, Geng Xuan called Luo Qing, Ding Yong, and Teng Yu to a nearby tunnel and spoke to them in private.

“In the beginning, I chose you to be my right-hand men because you are the best at uniting others. You don’t need to rely on strength, but can convince others with words.

This shows that you are talented in this area.

No huge force can exist solely by relying on powerful military force.

What is more important is how to manage and unite more people so that everyone can think and work together.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the military force is, it will just be a group of scattered sand, and may even regard each other as a threat and quickly fall apart. There should be too many such examples.

I said that the Giant Bear Gang will grow rapidly, and I am not bragging..."

Having said that, Geng Xuan decided to give the three of them a shot of adrenaline.

“I can tell you something. It won’t be long before I break through to the marrow refining realm.

By then, my strength will have been greatly improved.”

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Luo Qing, Ding Yong, and Teng Yu were all shocked, with expressions of incredible shock on their faces.

Geng Xuan continued his speech calmly:
"If I use cultivation and strength as the standard, you will soon fall from your current position until you are no different from ordinary gang members."

The shock on the three people's faces had not yet subsided, but turned into panic.

To be honest, these days of staying underground, it was difficult to eat and drink, and I couldn't move freely, which was like being in prison.

But all three of them experienced a sense of joy and enlightenment from the depths of their hearts that they had never experienced in their lives before.

The moment before, they were still dreaming of being able to fly higher with the help of their leader, but in the blink of an eye, they found themselves about to fall back into the mud. How could they not be panic-stricken?

Fortunately, the gang leader's next words saved them.

“But I don’t plan to do that.

I have already said that I chose you not because of your cultivation strength, but because you are able to manage and unite people.

This is where your talent lies!
As long as you can manage the Giant Bear Gang well for me, and let the gang members work together and think in the same direction, there will always be a place for you as the protectors of the Giant Bear Gang.

On the contrary, if you forget the original intention of my choosing you, I will be very disappointed even if your cultivation strength is stronger than it is now. "

These few words caused the three people's mood to fluctuate greatly. They now fully understood the purpose of the gang leader's private conversation.

This is a reminder and a warning to them.

They all understood that the subsequent allocation of resources was a test from the gang leader.

If they pay too much attention to their own gains and losses, they will most likely be kicked out of their positions as protectors.

On the other hand, as long as they do things with the public interest in mind, even if their cultivation does not improve at all, their position will be as stable as a mountain.

This was the gang leader's personal guarantee to them.

The three thought that this private conversation was over, but they didn't expect him to say something that shocked them.

“I know that other gangs have a bad reputation, some even very bad.

Their style of doing things is extremely domineering, cruel, even brutal.

For example, the Wuyou Palace is a collection of the world's evils.

Influenced by these existing concepts, you may have tacitly assumed that our Giant Bear Gang's style of doing things should be similar to those gangs. Even if we can't do it to the extent of the Worry-Free Palace, we still have to eradicate the enemy completely and kill all the enemies.

Let me tell you again very seriously, this is not my original intention for establishing the Giant Bear Gang.

If the Giant Bear Gang becomes like this, I will abandon it without hesitation.

Do not kill innocent people indiscriminately, do not rape or plunder, this is my basic requirement for all members of the Giant Bear Gang.

I don't care what you did before, but if you still do these things after joining the Giant Bear Gang, I will personally clean up the scourge."

After explaining all this, Geng Xuan left without returning to say goodbye to others.

However, the waves he stirred up in the hearts of Luo Qing and the other two did not stop with his departure. Instead, they became more and more intense.

After a long silence, Ding Yong was the first to break the silence and said in a hoarse voice:
"Why do I feel that the Giant Bear Gang, led by the gang leader, does not play by the rules of a gang, but..."

Having said this, he stopped and did not continue.

But the other two understood what he had not finished saying.

It is nothing more than "winning over people's hearts". If we add four more words, it would be "fighting for world domination".

Not long ago, they were dragged into the pirate ship against Master Fan by the three masters for just such reasons.

Their understanding of this is really too deep.

Now, the roles reverse.

The objects of their criticism and boycott have now become themselves.

But the resentment and fear of being pushed forward by someone was gone. Instead, there was an irrepressible trembling excitement from the inside out. What was going on?

None of the three spoke, but their breathing became heavier and hotter.

……

And in another tunnel not far from them.

Wang Xi, Liang Jun and Xu Lin were still digging a hole.

Originally, they had almost dug the pit.

But just when they were preparing to bury the bodies, five fresh corpses were delivered. Didn't this increase the workload again?

What else can I do? Just keep digging.

At this moment, Wang Xi and others suddenly heard hurried footsteps and jumping red flames behind them.

A few people turned their heads and saw Luo Qing, Ding Yong, Teng Yu and others hurriedly walking towards them with torches.

After hearing what the others had said, Wang Xi suppressed his pounding heart and tried to speak calmly:

"Let me finish the work at hand first."

"It should."

"good."

"I finally know why the gang leader chose you!"

The three of them nodded approvingly, then put the torches aside and rolled up their sleeves to join the digging team.

Communicate while doing things.

"Learning from the lessons of these two times, I think we should make some improvements to the surrounding area. I also got a lot of suitable tools from Zhong's house this time, so it shouldn't be too difficult." "How do we do it?"

"The first thing is to cover up this tunnel. At least we can't cook something, light a lamp or light a fire without risking exposure.

Then……"

After one person talked about his plan and got everyone's approval, another person also put forward his own idea.

“I also have an idea. If a force wants to survive, a sufficient number of cultivation techniques are the core.

Although we don't have many skills to show, we have more than 30 people now.

Although their cultivation is not very good, they all have some cultivation.

Without saying too much, everyone practices at least three techniques.

If you collect chicken feathers to make a duster, don't you have the first batch of cultivation techniques?

It just so happens that I got a lot of pens, ink and paper from the Zhong family this time. Since we are all stuck here with nothing to do, why not go through this matter carefully... What do you think?"

This undoubtedly received support from everyone.

Moreover, some people have suggested that in order to encourage everyone to bring out their own cultivation techniques, contributions can be made based on the quantity and quality of the techniques provided by each person.

Those who make high contributions can browse and practice other cultivation techniques, or use them to exchange for resources.

Others have suggested that we should intervene more deeply in the cultivation of each practitioner and not just distribute resources and be done with it.

There must be communication, discussion and interaction beforehand, and verification, acceptance and confirmation of results afterwards.

We also need to build a platform for everyone to communicate and exchange ideas on a daily basis.

We teach each other and encourage each other to improve.

Others have suggested that there should be a clearer division of responsibilities, and that everyone should not do everything at once as they do now.

In charge of the flow of materials in and out, three meals a day for more than 30 people, the renovation of the tunnel, and gathering everyone to communicate and exchange ideas...and so on.

Try to keep things as clear as possible so that everyone knows exactly where they are, rather than having a mess.

Everyone who participated in the discussion felt an unprecedented novel experience.

That is the fulfillment when everyone focuses all their attention on "things".

Never treat the Giant Bear Gang as a joke again.

Even if someone tells them at this time that this is just a game, they will still play it seriously and immerse themselves in it wholeheartedly.

……

After returning to Changpingfang, Geng Xuan did nothing else.

Every day is quiet and regular.

He spent most of his time in the underground space, accompanying Da Huang while mastering the essentials of the two skills, "Spirit Snake Whip" and "Listening Hammer", and then paid the price of two points of luck for each of them and successfully got started.

Every day, Geng Xuan would spend four points of luck on Da Huang.

Of the nearly two hundred kilograms of medicinal wine looted from the Dingxingtang stronghold in Wuyou Palace, only about seventy kilograms were left. Geng Xuan did not drink any more and planned to leave it all for Dahuang.

It's really that the medicinal concentration of this wine is too low for Geng Xuan now. In order to meet his daily practice needs, he drinks more than six kilograms of medicinal wine every day. This is really not a wonderful experience.

I got four jars of 100-jin medicinal wine of better quality from Li Xun's underground secret room. With better choices, I naturally don't have to continue to put myself in a difficult position.

After switching to this medicinal wine, the daily consumption was reduced to about three pounds.

The remaining 70 kilograms of medicinal wine of slightly lower quality were not wasted. Dahuang and his baby cubs in his belly "drank" about 3 kilograms every day.

Four days later.

It was September 15th.

After Iron Skin Kung Fu was promoted to Grandmaster, with sufficient resources, the level of skin refining made rapid progress in just seven or eight days, from "65%" to "79%".

Geng Xuan consumed twenty-four points of luck and advanced his tidal breathing technique from great success to master level.

In order to meet the energy consumption of the rapid increase in the level of flesh refining, the daily consumption of high-quality medicinal wine increased from three catties to three and a half catties.

In five days, the level of flesh refining increased from "51%" to "61%".

The high growth brought by the Master Level Tidal Breathing Method has not ended yet, but the daily growth rate has slowed down.

Without waiting for his flesh refining to reach a higher level, Geng Xuan consumed forty-eight points of luck and upgraded his tidal breathing technique from the master level to the grandmaster level.

The daily consumption of medicinal wine reached four kilograms, which in turn resulted in continued rapid progress in the level of flesh refining.

Four days later, that was September 24th.

The level of flesh refining has been raised to "69 percent".

And the rapid growth in the level of flesh refining brought about by the Grandmaster's Tidal Breathing Technique is far from over.

But Geng Xuan has shifted the focus of his practice to the Qiānv Xān shù kung fu.

He once again consumed twenty-four points of luck and advanced his Xuanshui skill from great success to master level.

Five days later, it was September 29th.

With the daily supply of four and a half kilograms of high-quality medicinal wine, the blood refining level increased from 50% to 60%.

At the same time, as the qualities of all aspects of the body were improving by leaps and bounds, the skin refining, flesh refining, and bone refining, which were originally lacking, also overcame the last obstacle and were improved to "skin refining 80%", "flesh refining 72%, and "bone refining 51%" respectively.

Coupled with the "60% blood refining" that has been achieved at this moment, all the prerequisites for entering the marrow refining realm have been opened.

Almost at the moment when the blood refining level reached 60%, a piece of information appeared in Geng Xuan's mind.

[The host has understood the essence of "Wanjun Jin", and his body also meets all the prerequisites for mastering this skill. He can quickly get started by consuming four points of luck. ]

【whether?】

"Yes."

Geng Xuan made the choice he had been waiting for for a long time without hesitation.

Over the past half month, most of his energy has been immersed in the study of the marrow-refining technique called "Wanjun Jin".

The reason why he chose "Wanjun Jin" instead of "Ji Shi Jin" was because he was attracted by the shock effect that comes with "Wanjun Jin".

He can control the "Wanjun" force to change the strength of the force used in a single strike.

Moreover, the deeper the level of mastery of "Wanjun Power", the greater the magnitude and frequency of this change will be.

In the end, even a simple punch hitting the enemy will have the same effect as an electric pickaxe or pile driver.

If you meet an enemy like Zhong Yuanba who has a defense like a turtle shell again, "Wanjun Jin" will be his natural nemesis.

He can shatter the opponent's internal organs without destroying the armor defense.

For other practitioners, there is still a huge threshold to practicing "Wanjun Jin", that is, it is difficult to get started alone without the guidance of a teacher.

But for Geng Xuan, there was only one thing he had to do, and that was to accurately comprehend and grasp the essence of this marrow-refining technique from a cognitive level.

As for how to get started safely, he only needs to provide four points of red luck as consumption.

As the four points of red luck were consumed, in an instant, a steady stream of insights, experiences and insights about the practice of "Wanjun Jin" flooded into Geng Xuan's mind.

Geng Xuan only felt that his body, inside and outside, and every part of his body, were undergoing slow and profound changes at all times.

From the skin, to the flesh and internal organs, to the blood vessels, to the bones...

If the human body is regarded as a big star, Geng Xuan can clearly feel the "plates" in various parts of the body moving.

During this movement between each other, collisions, frictions and huge pressure were generated.

The pressure comes from the outside to the inside and from the inside to the outside.

In the end, it was stopped by the skin that had been refined to 80%, and it could only move forward continuously.

This pressure had nowhere to be relieved and nowhere to go. In the end, it all converged on the only area that had not been tempered yet—

The bone marrow hidden deep inside the bones, and the brain marrow hidden deep inside the brain.

This is the foundation of one's strength, the source of life, and the intersection of the spirit, mind and body.

Under tremendous pressure, Geng Xuan felt like a monkey pressed under a mighty mountain, with nowhere to hide and could only endure it.

"boom!"

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Geng Xuan seemed to hear a sound.

He didn't know whether the sound was just a psychological feeling or came from the material level.

But it was as if a martial arts master had opened up his Ren and Du meridians. Although he still felt heavy due to the power of his might, the suffocating feeling like a mountain pressing down on his head had dissipated.

Geng Xuan moved his hands as he pleased and swung his palm forward.

Then a faint energy condensed into a palm shape flew out.

With a light "puff" sound, this palm-shaped energy left a shallow palm print about half a centimeter deep on the rock wall a few steps away.
