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

This was Li Qingshan's first time visiting the county town, and he found it quite novel.

Looking from afar, all you can see is the endless city wall and the fields beyond it that stretch as far as the eye can see.

As he got closer and joined the queue to enter the city, Li Qingshan was somewhat surprised.

The city walls of this county town are far too tall and majestic.

In his previous life, he had visited the Forbidden City in the capital.

But compared to the city wall in front of them, it was nothing but a drop in the ocean.

"Isn't it amazing?"

Seeing the look of surprise on Li Qingshan's face, Li Tie chuckled.

Li Qingshan withdrew his gaze and asked疑惑地问道, "Brother Tie, who are these high city walls for?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tie was taken aback and shook his head: "How would I know that? I only know that the county town has existed for a very long time, even before the Iron Leg Sect came here."

A passerby on horseback overheard their conversation, glanced at their attire, and looked disdainful.

"They are truly like frogs in a well."

It was just a city wall ten zhang high.

Our county town of Qingyuan has a population of just over 100,000, yet it is so shabby.

Those who have visited the prefectural city say that the city walls are often hundreds of feet high, and people look like ants when standing on the walls.

That's true magnificence...

Despite being looked down upon, Li Tie naturally put on a fawning smile and flattered, "Young master, you have great insight; you clearly come from an extraordinary background."

The passerby on horseback smiled and waved, saying nothing more.

If he were truly of extraordinary birth, he would have simply entered through the small city gate; why would he need to queue here?

However, he naturally wouldn't refute others' pleasant words.

...

We entered the city.

Li Tie explained, "Qingshan, when you're traveling, safety comes first. Face is the least valuable thing; there's no need to get upset over such a person."

Li Qingshan nodded perfunctorily, glancing at the buildings on both sides of the street.

His first impression of Qingyuan County was that it was big.

Not only were the city walls excessively tall, but the buildings inside were as well.

Furthermore, most of these buildings are uniform in appearance, as if they were copied and pasted from the same mold.

The streets are incredibly wide.

Pedestrians, vendors, horse-drawn carriages, and carts carrying various supplies... all crammed onto one street, yet it still felt incredibly empty.

He made a quick visual assessment.

There is probably a distance of more than 30 meters between the two sides of the street.

Let alone horse-drawn carriages.

Running a train directly on it would be effortless.

That's quite unreasonable.

Moreover, there are too many horses in the city.

Along the way.

Li Qingshan noticed that as long as someone was dressed even slightly decently, whether riding a horse or leading one, many of the food stalls on the street had signs advertising dishes like roasted horse leg and stir-fried horse meat.

The price is also cheap.

On the contrary, the prices of dishes made from livestock such as pigs and sheep are relatively high.

And clothes...

Li Qingshan stared blankly at the pink cover hanging on the pole outside the window.

When Li Tie saw that he suddenly stopped moving, he followed Li Qingshan's gaze.

Seeing the pink hood swaying in the wind, he chuckled, "Novel, isn't it? That's a bellyband that came from the prefectural city, something women use to wrap their chests. City people love these kinds of things. Your sister-in-law has one too, it cost me three taels of silver..."

Li Qingshan really wanted to ask: Are you sure this thing isn't called an N-cup?

He was absolutely certain that this was the milk Z from his previous life, an absolute industrial product!

He didn't know how many N-masks he had personally removed in his past life.

There's no way they'd admit they were wrong!

If we say that the N-cup could be a coincidence caused by a female embroiderer's burst of inspiration.

When Li Qingshan followed Li Tie to a mansion, he was completely stunned when he saw the middle-aged man who opened the door wearing a black vest, flip-flops, and holding an unknown brand of cigarette.

The most ridiculous thing is...

There is also a line of printed English letters on the cigarette.

Li Qingshan now has only one thought: Did I somehow travel back to ancient times?

...

I saw a middle-aged man opening the door.

Li Tie bowed respectfully: "Father-in-law."

The middle-aged man glanced at him, his expression not very friendly.

When he saw Li Qingshan standing next to Li Tie, his expression turned even more unpleasant.

He exhaled a smoke ring, kicked the threshold away, and stepped aside: "Bring the stuff in."

Put things away properly.

Li Tie's father-in-law made no attempt to offer the two men water.

He pulled out a money pouch, ready to chase the person away.

A young woman, around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a plump and gentle figure, walked out of the inner room with a child in her hand.

He met Li Tie.

The young woman smiled warmly: "Xiao Tie, you've arrived."

Li Tie recognized the woman, took out a cloth bag from his pocket, and warmly approached her: "Big sister, this is a handkerchief that Xiao Luo knitted for her nephew. I was just planning to visit you later, what a coincidence..."

A long rambling.

The young woman then looked at Li Qingshan, who was standing to the side in a daze: "Xiao Tie, who is this...?"

Li Tie pulled Li Qingshan over: "Big sister, this is my cousin Li Qingshan. Qingshan, call me big sister."

Li Qingshan looked slightly shy, glancing at his toes: "Big Sister."

His senses were now heightened, and upon entering the courtyard, he noticed the young woman peering out the window. She appeared kind and gentle, but in reality, she was scrutinizing him.

They simply adopted the demeanor of shy village children, too lazy to get close.

The young woman was just asking politely, and then she changed the subject to herbs.

It turned out that the other party's child had turned six and was starting to prepare for medicinal baths to nourish the body, so they asked Li Tie to collect some cheap wild medicinal herbs at the town market.

Li Tie patted his chest and said there was no problem.

The Li family's biggest source of income right now is actually the medicinal herb business.

They not only harvest, but also plant.

Li Tie's father-in-law provided the cultivation methods and seeds. Then, the Li family found a secluded place to plant the seeds, carefully tended to them, and finally sold the harvest to Li Tie's father-in-law.

Li Qingshan only found out about it in the last few days.

In the end, neither of them got a drop of water or a bite of food from Li Tie's father-in-law's house.

Afterwards, Li Tie felt somewhat embarrassed and explained, "Your sister-in-law is my father-in-law's favorite youngest daughter, and I didn't want to live in the county town, so she harbors some resentment towards me..."

His father-in-law was an instructor at a martial arts school.

Li Tie originally wanted to ask his father-in-law to take care of Li Qingshan, but seeing the other party's stern face, he was too embarrassed to speak.

Don't let them take care of you; they'll just become your targets.

Anyway, I've seen the person today.

If Li Qingshan is bullied at the martial arts school in the future, his father-in-law won't pretend not to see it.

...

On the way to the martial arts school.

Li Tie, leading the donkey cart, explained to Li Qingshan:

"The path of martial arts is actually a process of tempering the body's muscles, bones, skin and flesh."

After you go in, you will first learn the stance training to feel the blood flow.

After sensing the blood, one must temper one's muscles, bones, skin, and flesh.

If you can successfully perform a blood transfusion, you will be much stronger than the average person.

Even if I can't continue training, I can ask my father-in-law to find you a job in the Iron Legs Sect's outer affairs hall..."

Through Li Tie's rambling explanations, Li Qingshan gained a basic understanding of the realms of martial arts.

The early stages of martial arts are divided into four realms: Blood Sensing, Skin and Flesh, Tendons and Bones, and Blood Exchange.

Reaching the physical and mental level allows one to be included in the list of martial artists and gain a certain social status.

Upon reaching the Blood Exchange Realm, one can receive the same treatment as those born with martial bones, bringing blessings to three generations of the family.

Li Tie's father-in-law was a martial artist at the Skin and Flesh Realm.

Actually, compared to these things, Li Qingshan was more curious about Li Tie's father-in-law's modern attire.

Along the way.

Aside from that cover hanging in someone's house, Li Tie's father-in-law had so many modern items on him.

It seems to be from abroad.

He was too lazy to approach the other party because they had a sour look on their face.

It's nothing more than the flesh and blood.

Anyone can master it.

He possesses a self-healing ability; there's no way he can't master it.

They've reached a certain level of strength and status.

When the time comes, you will naturally find out what you need to know.

...

The martial arts schools in Qingyuan County all follow the Iron Legs Sect and uniformly use the name of a martial arts school, only with an additional number for differentiation.

Li Tie took Li Qingshan to Martial Arts Hall No. 8.

Registering for the martial arts school is very simple.

Pay, register, and then check in.

As for things like bone palpation or testing, there was none of that.

The price is really expensive.

The monthly tuition fee is ten taels, the food and lodging fee is three taels, and the minimum monthly medicine allowance is twenty taels.

That means the minimum monthly expense is thirty-three taels of silver.

Ordinary people can't afford to learn martial arts even if they go bankrupt.

After paying the money.

After Li Tie led Li Qingshan to collect the clothes and explained the situation inside again, he left in a hurry.

It was getting late.

He also needs to find a caravan that is going the same way tomorrow to follow.

...

After seeing Li Tie off, Li Qingshan returned to his newly assigned residence.

open the door.

A strong, fermented, sour smell wafted over.

Li Qingshan frowned slightly.

This is the cheapest dormitory room.

The interior was simply furnished.

There are beds on both sides, an aisle in the middle, and a row of shelves at the head of the bed for storing things.

Li Qingshan found an empty shelf, stuffed the package inside, then took the payment slip and strode towards the martial arts arena.

After what he saw and heard today, he became even more curious about the truth of this world.

To know more, you need to elevate your status.

They want to improve their social standing.

I must learn martial arts.

He was too eager to improve.
