Chapter 202: Totem Blood Patterns, the Combination of Calligraphy and Martial Arts
The carriage is made of green wood and moves forward.

In the carriage, Zhou Zhengtong looked up at Zhou Ru who was sitting opposite him.

"Have you asked your brother Zhang about his cultivation today?" Zhou Zhengtong asked softly.

Zhou Ru nodded: "Big brother said that he discussed with Grandpa Ji and Grandpa Zuoqiu and others to see how to improve my strength."

"Father, did I practice my boxing skills well today?" Zhou Ru's voice was filled with a hint of uneasiness.

During the banquet, Zhou Ru practiced boxing as requested by his father.

After the practice, Qin Muyang, Qin Pingliang and others all had bright eyes and praised it very much.

This made Zhou Zhengtong feel proud.

When Zhou Ruwen asked this question, Zhou Zhengtong smiled.

"My son is simple and honest, so he has such an opportunity." Looking at Zhou Ru, Zhou Zhengtong said softly.

Without Zhang Yuan's help and Ji Yuntang's methods, Zhou Ru would not have been able to make progress in martial arts.

"I will find a way to repay your elder brother."

Zhou Zhengtong spoke.

Zhou Ru grinned.

In a car frame on the other side.

Jiang Yulang and Jiang Changning sat opposite each other.

What was originally an unusual but not very important banquet brought unimaginable shock to the father and son.

"Yulang, I have an idea." Jiang Changning spoke softly, looking at Jiang Yulang in front of him.

Jiang Yulang looked up.

"I want you to join the Red Fox Trading Company." Jiang Changning's eyes shone brightly. "Originally, I would be quite satisfied if I could spend my old age in the county city and enjoy the prosperity of my Jiang family."

"But what I saw today made me understand."

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Changning clenched his fists, his face revealing an excitement that he could hardly suppress: "In the eyes of a truly powerful person, wealth and power are easily obtainable."

"No matter how long our Jiang family has been operating in the county city, in the eyes of these powerful people, we are dispensable."

Jiang Yulang nodded, his eyes showing seriousness.

"I understand what my father said."

"Master Zhang's Red Fox Trading Company is definitely not just a trading company."

"Traveling back and forth to Liangyuan Territory, there must be unimaginable merits behind it."

The Qin Dynasty values ​​military achievements.

Gong Yu was able to enter the imperial city because of his merits during his trip to Liangyuan Territory.

Ji Yuntang, a martial arts scholar and a powerful figure in charge of the training of civil and military officials in a county and the organization of the army, has to go to the Eastern Border to seek military merit and breakthroughs.

If the Jiang family fails to seek military merit and make further progress, they will eventually fall.

"I will go to see Manager Yao and go with him to Liangyuanyu." Jiang Yulang spoke calmly and loudly.

Jiang Changning smiled and nodded: "Yulang, the future revival of the Jiang family may depend on you."

Jiang Yulang didn't say anything, but clenched his fists.

When has my father ever spoken to me like this?

All of this came from one person.

The financial backer behind the Red Fox Caravan, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Shijiu, seems to be only focused on martial arts training, but actually has a wide network of contacts.

……

"Master Ban, I never thought that Zuoqiu Ren would be so decisive." Ji Yuntang whispered softly in the carriage of a slowly moving carriage.

Opposite him, Zhang Yuan and Zhao Yu sat side by side.

"What Zuoqiu Ren said today gave me great inspiration."

"For the great principles in one's heart, face, dignity, and inferiority are nothing."

"Only the eternal existence of the Great Dao is what we seek."

Ji Yuntang spoke with emotion and looked at Zhang Yuan: "I will go to the Eastern Territory. If I can gain something, I will share it with you one day."

"This world is so vast, and the nine continents are so prosperous. You must go and see it too."

The world is vast and the nine continents are prosperous.

Seeing Zhang Yuan nod, a hint of envy flashed across Zhao Yu's face.

Perhaps only someone like Zhang Yuan is qualified to see the vastness of the world and the prosperity of the Nine Continents?
At this moment, Zhao Yu felt that his royal identity had become a burden.

When the car arrived outside the Zhao family's villa, Zhang Yuan and Zhao Yu got off together.

Standing in front of the door, Zhao Yu turned around and looked at Zhang Yuan.

"If one day you leave the Great Wall, remember to help me carve my name on the bricks of the Great Wall."

"Zhao Yu."

Zhao Yu raised his hand, stretched out his little finger, and bent it into a hook.

Zhang Yuan smiled and extended his hand.

Zhao Yu and he were from a completely different world. Zhao Yu's life seemed to be filled with flowers and sunshine.

Unlike him, who stepped out from a sea of ​​blood and corpses, the endless killing made him suppress the murderous energy like a vast ocean in his heart.

----------------

Two days after the night banquet, when Zhang Yuan went to the martial arts school again, Master Gu was very respectful to him.

This made those students in the school who originally wanted to provoke internal strife among them lose interest.

The martial arts training was also on the right track, and everyone felt that what they had learned was very beneficial.

No matter whether one is from a noble family or a military officer, one can learn a lot of knowledge that he has never been exposed to before in martial arts.

The Jiang family in the city has been selling jade Buddha bodhi seeds these past two days. It is said that they were taken away by an elder of a martial arts sect. The exact amount of money spent is unknown, but there are rumors that a jade Buddha bodhi seed is worth more than 20,000 taels of gold.

In this world, it is impossible for an ordinary person to see so much gold in his lifetime.

In the five countries and three regions, there is a huge gap between the world of ordinary people and the world of practitioners.

If the Jiang family's sale of Bodhi seeds had caused widespread discussion throughout the city, then the elite gathering that would be held at Prince Zhao's Mansion, where Bodhi seeds, famous paintings and calligraphy, and even swords worth hundreds of gold were offered as stakes, would instantly make the name of Prince Zhao's Mansion famous.

These things cannot be obtained just by being rich, but more by having a solid foundation.

The price of an invitation to the elite gathering at Prince Zhao's Palace was raised to four hundred taels of silver.

For the younger generation of heroes in Zhengyang County, getting an invitation to Prince Zhao's Palace represents status, potential, and face.

Zhang Yuan did have some extra invitations, but of course he couldn't sell them.

Don’t mention it, Zhao Yu did suggest that the profits could be split 20:80 after the sale.

Zhao Yu has to help arrange a gathering at Prince Zhao's mansion these days, so he can't come to martial arts school every day.

However, she took two paintings from Zhang Yuan and paid the full amount for both.

The small courtyard of Ji Yuntang.

Zhang Yuan, Ji Yuntang, Zhou Zhengtong, and Zuo Qiuren were all there.

Zhou Ru was lying on a bench with his upper body bare.

In Zhang Yuan's hand, he held an ink pen stained with cinnabar.

"Brother, I'm ready."

Zhou Ru, who was lying on the bench, spoke.

Zhang Yuan nodded and touched Zhou Ru's back with the ink brush in his hand.

Zhou Ru trembled all over and sweat broke out on his forehead.

He gritted his teeth and lay there motionless.

The ink pen in Zhang Yuan's hand moved, and the cinnabar surged with the faint true energy and poured into Zhou Ru's back.

The body of a bull looking up to the sky emerged.

After drawing two pictures in a row, the shadows of two wild bulls appeared behind Zhou Ru.

The strength of two bulls!

Four thousand pounds of qi and blood power!

This kind of power that appeared out of nowhere made everyone in the courtyard look solemn.

Zhou Zhengtong looked at Zhou Ru, excitement flashing in his eyes.

At Zhou Ru's age, with such energy and fighting power, his future achievements are unimaginable!
"Brother, come again!" Zhou Ru gritted his teeth, his face flushed.

Zhang Yuan shook his head. He knew that Zhou Ru's body could not withstand the third wild bull.

"Okay, the strength of two bulls is your limit."

"When you have mastered the power of these two bulls, I will help you draw."

Zhang Yuan straightened up, holding the ink brush, and looked at Zuoqiu Ren: "Mr. Zuoqiu's totem method is not expensive, but it requires the soul to concentrate the Dao intention and then gather the true essence to bless it."

"To enter the Dao of calligraphy and painting, one must be at least in the late stage of the Martial Dao Xiantian Realm before one can draw totem blood patterns."

"Plus, the bearer needs a stable body and compatible martial arts techniques."

His words made Zuoqiu Ren look regretful.

"Looking at it this way, there are fewer people who can draw totems than Grandmasters."

"Besides, there aren't many people who can truly bear its power."

"I thought I could raise a large army this way, but it's completely unrealistic now."

Zhou Zhengtong and Ji Yuntang standing by also nodded regretfully.

If this kind of totem tattoo technique could create many masters with the strength of one or two bulls and form a military formation, what kind of scene would that be?

When Ji Yuntang and the others mentioned this method before, everyone was extremely excited.

"A large army is impossible, but a team of dozens or even hundreds of people is still possible."

Zhang Yuan raised his head and looked at Zhou Zhengtong.

"Master Sima, how about we conduct an experiment among the students in martial arts training?"
