I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 46: Copper Skin Realm Minor Success

Time passes day by day.

Ten days later, Xie An discovered a new problem:
I thought that since I had the foundation of health-preserving exercises, it would be easy to break through the Bronze Skin Realm.

The cruel reality made Xie An realize that he had thought too much.

Health-preserving exercises only strengthen one's strength, enhance the five senses, and strengthen the Qi and blood. They do not alter one's martial arts talent. After ten days of diligent martial arts training, Xie An discovered that he did not have any extraordinary talent in martial arts.

Furthermore, the longevity factor is only effective for health-preserving exercises. It has no effect on martial arts...

This discovery made Xie An depressed for a long time.

Fortunately, Xie An had never expected himself to be a martial arts genius, so he quickly adjusted his mindset.

If you don't have enough talent, time will make up for it.

Three months passed in a flash.

In the early morning of that day, after Xie An inspected the Xueling black market as usual, he returned to the villa to practice health-preserving exercises.

Only when he was exhausted, both physically and mentally, did he stop to wipe the sweat off his body and call up the interface:

[Current longevity level: Level 1!]

[Five Animal Exercises: Strengthens the Five Internal Organs (98/100)]

[Fetal Breathing: Yin and Yang Intercourse (47/100)]

[Remaining Years: 30]

After practicing the health-preserving exercises for such a long time, Xie An had a reasonable expectation of his progress. Although the current progress was slow, it was still within his expectations.

"Although my internal organs haven't been fully replenished, my strength has indeed increased a lot."

Xie An walked into the yard, found a 700-jin stone lock, and easily lifted it above his head. He waved it around for more than ten breaths without feeling too tired.

Four months ago, Xie An found it very difficult to lift 700 kilograms with one arm.

Today, the increase is significant.

"Let me try the 800-jin stone lock."

Xie An walked to the eight-hundred-jin stone lock, grasped the handle and began to get a feel for it.

The good thing about joining the Tiger and Wolf Sect is that there is no shortage of many training tools. Although these are not personally owned by Xie An, it is still okay for him to use them.

"drink!"

With a loud shout from Xie An, he suddenly exerted force with his right hand, and the stone lock weighing eight hundred pounds was lifted above his head.

After pausing for three breaths, Xie An felt his muscles contract violently, and even began to tremble and twitch. He had no choice but to let go. The stone lock caused the ground to tremble slightly when it landed.

"It seems that lifting 800 kilograms with one arm is probably my current limit."

Although in more than three months, I have only increased my strength by 100 kilograms.

This data is actually quite exaggerated.

You know, even a warrior who has reached the Great Perfection of the Bronze Skin Realm can only lift 600 kilograms, while a warrior who has just entered the Essence Flesh Realm can only lift 800 kilograms.

Xie An relied on health-preserving exercises to achieve the strength of a warrior who had just entered the elite flesh realm, which was truly abnormal.

Xie An fetched well water from the yard, took off his clothes, and poured the cold water directly on himself regardless of the cold weather.

"Wow!"

The cool well water trickled down Xie An's skin, like oiled paper, failing to wet it. After the water had flowed past, his skin dried out. Only the fine water droplets clung to the bronzed hairs.

This is a sign of minor success in the Copper Skin Realm.

The membrane is as strong as cowhide, impervious to cold and heat, unbreakable by scratches, and not wetted by water droplets.

That's right.

After three months of hard training, Xie An has reached the Bronze Skin Realm.

During this period, Xie An received another set of Tiger Skin Yuan Tang, and bought more than ten sets with his own money. Only then did he reach the state of minor success.

It takes an ordinary person at least a year and a half to enter the Copper Skin Realm. If you want to reach the minor success of the Copper Skin Realm, it will take at least two years.

The reason Xie An was able to complete this progress within three months was not only because of the extraordinary physical strength he gained from practicing the health-preserving exercises, but more importantly, it was because... he worked too hard.

Practice martial arts during the day and practice fetal breathing when you go to sleep at night.

Day and night alternate, and time is used efficiently.

And because of the fetal breathing exercise, the body is not easily fatigued and the mentality is stable.

This is what led to his current achievements. After washing his body, Xie An did not put on any clothes, but directly picked up his sword and practiced the Fuyang sword technique in the yard.

call out.

As the knife was chopped, a sharp explosion sounded in the air.

After starting, the knife was like a snake, flexible and changeable, sometimes slashing horizontally, sometimes chopping, sometimes slashing upwards... Every move was natural and powerful like a long river.

The layers of fallen leaves on the ground were swept up by the knife-like wind and drifted everywhere.

"As expected, after practicing martial arts, my combat power has skyrocketed. Even if I meet a warrior who has reached the Great Perfection of the Bronze Skin Realm, I will not be at all inferior to him."

Before this, Xie An practiced health-preserving exercises, and had a lot of brute force but nowhere to use it.

Now that I have practiced swordsmanship, I can finally unleash the true power of my health-preserving exercises.

Moreover, Fuyang Sword Skill is not a primary sword skill. For the Tiger and Wolf Sect, it is considered an intermediate level. After all, it is on the third floor of the library.

It is divided into three styles: Basic, Crouching Tiger, and Scorching Sun.

The basic moves are nothing more than chopping, slashing, lifting, stabbing, hitting and other sword techniques. The basics of Fuyang sword techniques are divided into four types: straight stabbing, horizontal slashing, lifting the sword and turning around to slash.

After three months of refining his basics, Xie An did not rush to practice Fu Hu, but instead consolidated the four basic moves, striving to practice each move to perfection.

Although the Fuyang Sword Technique combines the basic moves into four styles, it contains many variations.

Just the straight stab includes side stab, one-handed stab, two-handed stab, etc.

There are really thousands of changes.

Just to master this basics is extremely difficult.

Xie An knew that these basic sword techniques were the foundation of all sword techniques and were universal. Xie An also had the idea of ​​practicing the Chongshan Sword in the future.

It's not that Xie Anxin is a big shot or anything, it's mainly because ever since I read that notebook, I can't stop thinking about it. I feel like that's the only thing that suits my health-preserving skills.

When the sky was bright, Xie An stopped practicing his swordsmanship and sat down on a stone block in the yard to rest. He took out a dry rag and wiped the dew off his sword.

"With my current strength, even if I meet the Great Deacon Lin Yun, I may not be powerless to fight. If I can grow steadily for another year or two, I won't be afraid of even the Incense Master."

Xie An didn't like aggressive behavior; he simply wanted to develop quietly, so he could protect himself. He also wanted to see the outside world, and he wanted to rely on his longevity... to live forever.

For an old man who was about to die, nothing could make his blood boil more than immortality.

But everything needs to be done step by step. If you are in the underworld and don't have enough strength to protect yourself, you will die if you encounter a gangster enemy. How can you talk about immortality?
Let's not talk about the distant past, let's just talk about the Blood Ridge Black Market. Wei Dian was seriously injured by the Plum Blossom Monster, and the black market was also coveted by another incense master named Zhang Hengshui. Before this, Xie An didn't know who Zhang Hengshui was.

Later I learned that Zhang Hengshui was Zhang Biao's backer and also his uncle.

This made Xie An feel like he had a thorn in his back and he felt uncomfortable all over.

If you want to develop steadily in the Tiger and Wolf Gate and fail to grow up quickly, once things change, you will become a fish on the chopping board.

Once you enter the world of martial arts, it's like entering a deep sea.

We really can't be negligent at all.

Xie An withdrew his thoughts and focused on wiping his sword.

"This standard saber is still too light. I'm strong, so a heavy sword is more suitable for me. When I have money, I'll find a black market blacksmith to forge a heavy sword for me."

Speaking of money, Xie An got a headache again.

The silver and money that Li Shaoyun had given earlier had been spent.

Plus, I haven't seen that chamber pot guy recently, and the monthly salary from the deacon is not enough to spend.

Still...poor.

"Yes, isn't Li Shaoyun quite rich? He asked his father to rip me off 180 taels... How about I go and get some back?"

Thinking about the last conversation between Li Shaoyun and Zhang Biao outside Feiyun Restaurant... He beat his own disciple's butt to a pulp and almost forced him to confess and cause a death.

Xie An was also angry.

If it weren't for Madam Li, with Xie An's temper... Li Shaoyun would have been dead.

I've fleeced him twice, so I've taught him a lesson.

Xie An changed into his uniform brocade robe and called the accountant Liang Zhi over.

"Liang Zhi, how is Li Shaoyun doing recently?"

Liang Zhi glanced at Xie An, who was masked, and vaguely guessed something. He said, "Li Shaoyun has been doing odd jobs in recent months. He's become depressed and decadent. He has begged me many times to bring him to see the deacon. I thought the deacon was focused on practicing martial arts and didn't want to be disturbed, so I didn't agree."

Xie An said calmly: "Go and give him some advice..."
