I ascended to godhood through the 100-ton King Martial Arts.

Li Qingshan possessed Wang Xiao's identity token.

The address is on the sign.

"No. 5, Lane 2, West Alley, Yongxingfang Bridge Street..."

Li Qingshan glanced at the significantly more upscale market archway at the street entrance and examined it for a while.

"I think I've misunderstood Wang Xiao..."

He withdrew his gaze and walked into the market.

The neighborhoods in the county town are similar to the community subdistrict offices in his previous life.

The streets and alleys inside the neighborhood are similar to different residential complexes.

Between the wards and markets, and between the streets and alleys, there may be some archways and gates, which would be closed off at night to prevent outsiders from passing through at will.

Yongxingfang, where Wang Xiao lived, was clearly a high-end residential area in the county town.

This area is basically made up of mansions.

The passersby were also much better dressed and looked better than the people in other markets that Li Qingshan had seen.

After repeatedly asking passersby.

It took Li Qingshan almost half an hour to find Wang Xiao's residence.

...

Wang Xiao's residence looked unremarkable.

The small gate and courtyard, with walls no more than three meters high, are surrounded by the five-meter-high blue brick walls of the neighboring houses on the left and right, with gray tiles and upturned eaves high above, making it appear somewhat small and exquisite.

The only difference was that two unidentified ferocious beast stone sculptures stood in front of the mansion gate, baring their fangs and claws, their lips stained with dark red paint, giving them a fierce and menacing appearance.

Li Qingshan glanced at the stone carving, then stepped forward, grabbed the copper ring, and tapped it.

Wait a moment.

The mansion gate opened from the inside, and a small head peeked out.

This was a little boy of eight or nine years old, with a chubby face, dark skin, and unusually large eyes that stared intently at Li Qingshan.

The little baby didn't speak, just silently watched him.

Li Qingshan felt a strange sense of unease.

He subconsciously took a half step back, bent over, and put on a kind smile: "My name is Li Qingshan, and I've come to see Instructor Wang Xiaowang."

As he spoke, he showed the badge that Wang Xiao had given him.

Upon seeing the sign, the little boy withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, opened half the door to make way, and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Young Wang has gone out to buy something, he'll be right back."

Li Qingshan looked at the other person in surprise, thinking he had misheard.

Is this the right voice?

Seeing his expression, the little boy rolled his eyes: "You don't even know Zhenling? What a bumpkin. Go inside and wait."

The words fell.

The opponent's entire figure transformed into specks of crimson light, merging into the gate before them.

at the same time.

The eyes of the ferocious beast statues also seemed to have gained a touch of intelligence.

Li Qingshan: ...

He understood the world less and less.

...

They entered the mansion.

The gates of the mansion closed by themselves.

Li Qingshan took a deep breath, suppressed his distracting thoughts, and began to examine the layout of the mansion.

The interior and exterior of the mansion are generally simple.

Upon entering, there is a small courtyard made of bluestone, with a hard, yellow earth surface. In the courtyard stands a pitted bronze statue, and the open space in front of the house is flat and spacious, with stone tables and chairs.

"Huh~"

Li Qingshan's gaze fell on the things on the stone table.

It turned out to be an open character music box.

Two tiny foreign figures, a man and a woman, dressed in what appears to be medieval attire, stand hand in hand on a tray, striking a dancing pose.

There is a support underneath the tray.

Judging from the design, some of them resemble the kind of music boxes that can be wound up at the back, allowing the little figure to rotate while playing music.

Li Qingshan walked to the stone table and glanced behind the box.

Sure enough, there was a wind-up handle on the back of the box.

Not only that.

Below the handle, there is also a string of English letters engraved.

Li Qingshan subconsciously went to the other side, squatted down, and examined the line of English text.

He hadn't received much formal education in his previous life. After studying in Longchang, he read many books, but as for English, he only knew a few catchy phrases he'd learned from videos: "oh," "ye," etc.

The strange thing is...

After he stared at the line of letters for more than two breaths, the meaning of the letters automatically came to mind: To my beloved daughter, Sylvia Pierce.

next moment.

He seemed to see a blonde girl in a pure white dress, facing him sideways, looking out the window with melancholy eyes.

Startled by the sudden appearance of the figure, Li Qingshan quickly moved aside.

He stopped looking at the music box.

The image of the girl in his mind also disappeared.

He was breathing heavily, a strong sense of unease rising within him.

Was that blonde girl just now... a hallucination?

...

The time that follows.

Li Qingshan dared not approach the eerie music box any further.

He obediently went to an open space and began practicing the health-preserving stance he had just learned.

After several repetitions.

He naturally learned how to guide the ethereal blood energy within his body, and he also understood why Wang Xiao had said earlier that once the blood energy was fully activated, one could unleash a force of a thousand jin.

This thing is like the internal energy in the novels of his previous life.

As his blood and qi circulated, his whole body radiated intense heat.

Every move.

Even though it didn't use much force, it still produced a slight whooshing sound.

The only side effect is that it consumes a lot of energy.

After practicing for a short while, Li Qingshan felt his body becoming weak.

However, this feeling of weakness only lasted for a breath or two before it was suppressed again by the warm current surging throughout his body.

Thanks to the passive effect of his self-healing talent, he regained his full vigor and vitality.

But Li Qingshan dared not continue practicing.

This recovery suspension is indeed a suspension, but it takes a toll on his body.

Without the support of medicinal cuisine, continuing to train would be a death sentence.

Just as Li Qingshan was preparing to practice the movements without stimulating his blood and qi, the mansion gate, which had been closed, opened automatically again.

He looked up and saw that Wang Xiao had returned carrying a large box.

...

Upon seeing Li Qingshan, who was assuming a stance resembling a martial arts exercise, his skin flushed and congested with blood, they noticed him.

Wang Xiao chuckled: "It seems you've already learned stance training and mastered the control of your qi and blood."

Seeing that Wang Xiao was not surprised to see him there, Li Qingshan guessed that the mysterious spirit of the town had probably notified Wang Xiao in some way when he arrived.

He straightened his posture, a bitter look on his face: "Well, I did it on the first try, but my instructor misunderstood and thought I was hiding my abilities to get his attention..."

Wang Xiao walked to the stone table and put down what he was holding.

He looked Li Qingshan up and down and nodded: "The instructors at these martial arts schools in the county are all half-baked. It's normal that they can't see that you have abundant qi and blood."

With that, Wang Xiao stood up and stretched out his palm: "Come on, channel your blood energy into your fist and strike me with all your might."

Li Qingshan obeyed and did as instructed.

As blood and qi surged.

His right forearm turned crimson and, with a soft snap, slammed into Wang Xiao's outstretched palm.

This punch felt like hitting cotton.

Wang Xiao remained motionless, his outstretched hand not even deforming.

Li Qingshan was astonished.

It wasn't that I was surprised by Wang Xiao's strength.

Instead, he didn't feel any reaction force in his fist.

Wang Xiao withdrew his hand, frowning slightly: "Strange, even without condensing internal energy, with dispersed strength and the support of blood and qi, one could normally exert a force of a thousand jin, yet you only have a little over five hundred jin..."

This situation often occurs in students who lack a strong foundation in Qi and blood but are lucky enough to master it.

Before Li Qingshan began to manipulate his qi and blood, he saw that his body was brimming with qi and blood, clearly having already reached its limit.

How could the foundation be insufficient?

Wang Xiao glanced thoughtfully at Li Qingshan, whose skin had quickly returned to normal.

After hearing Wang Xiao's words, Li Qingshan realized what was going on.

Others cultivate their health to the point where their qi and blood are so abundant they almost overflow; this is proper health cultivation, and they can have hundreds of kilograms of strength without practicing martial arts.

However, he relied on his self-healing talent to passively keep his body in a state of abundant blood and qi, without increasing his strength.

The underlying structures are different.

Thinking of this, Li Qingshan sighed inwardly.

We suffered from a lack of information.

It seems the matter of Wu Gu can no longer be kept secret.

However, he wasn't very flustered.

When Li Qingshan first met Wang Xiao, the latter immediately recognized that Li Qingshan's body was full of vital energy, and Li Qingshan realized that he had been somewhat naive in trying to hide his martial bone.

Having been mentally prepared for exposure, I naturally remain calm at this moment.

...

Li Qingshan appeared calm and composed, showing no sign of guilt.

Wang Xiao patted his forehead and suddenly realized, "You said before that you've always been energetic since you were a child. I thought you were just being polite, but I didn't expect you to be telling the truth. It seems you have the constitution of a dragon and a tiger."

Li Qingshan was taken aback: "Full of vigor and strength?"

Wang Xiao nodded: "This is a physical talent in terms of Qi and blood, which is a great help in the early stages of learning martial arts. However, in this case, your foundation will be weaker than others, and you will have to hone your physical body more and endure more hardship later on."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan nodded: "Mm."

Wang Xiao waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this anymore."

He opened the large box he had brought back, then closed the open music box on the stone table and carefully placed it into the large box covered with silk.

Li Qingshan stepped forward to secure the large box, and casually remarked, "Instructor Wang, what are these little figure boxes? They look quite interesting. If they're not too expensive, I'll buy two for my sister too."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao laughed heartily: "Buy? I snatched this from the Bitter Realm. There might only be one like it in the whole world. You can't buy it anywhere even if you want to."

Li Qingshan grasped the key point.

Misery!
