Chapter 23: Walking into Madness Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks

  He walked out of his room and looked up at the sky. At this time, the sky in the world was already bright, and the sun rose slightly on the eastern horizon.

  At this time, several people had already come and gone in the courtyard where Bu Fan was located, and three or four people came out of a room to greet him. Looking at them, Bu Fan couldn't help but feel that his luck wasn't bad, even as a groom, he had a single room to live in!

  He walked out of their small courtyard and headed towards Step Two Uncle's room, but just as he passed by the front yard, he saw Step Two Uncle standing in the middle of the yard with a group of guards.

  Bu Fan walked over curiously, and his face suddenly changed. In the courtyard, a stiff corpse was lying on the ground, and this person was Bu Yuanshan, who had been trying to curry favor with Bu Fan all along.

  "Second Uncle!" Bu Fan called out softly. Bu Yuan Shan turned his head to look at him, then gently shook his head, signaling for him not to speak at the moment.

  Not long after, a ruddy-faced, somewhat stout old man came over, first squatting down to carefully examine the body of Bu Yuan Shan, then looking at Bu Er Shu and asking faintly: "Old Two, have you figured it out?"

  "Fu Shu was killed by a sword thrust to the throat, and there were blackened scars around his throat. It must have been Huo Lin Jian! He should have been injured by Bu Yuan Shan's question, became greedy for Huo Lin Jian, chased after him, and then was killed by Duan Wen Tian!"

  Fu Guanjia nodded and said lightly: "Greed is not enough, take the path to death yourself! Later you can send someone to find a place to bury him!" After that, he turned around and left.

  Bù Yuǎn Shān then ordered two guards to slowly carry away Bù Yuǎn Shān's corpse.

  Then, he brought Bu Fan to his yard and said faintly while looking at him: "You see, in the future when you enter Jianghu, what you must beware of most is greed. Many heroes of the martial arts world ultimately die because of this one word!"

  "Understood! Second Uncle!" Bufen replied respectfully.

  "How's that? Have you memorized all the meridians of the human body?" Er Bao Shu asked with a smile, noticing the diagram of meridians in Bu Fan's hand.

  "Got it!" Bufen replied softly.

  Step Two Uncle heard this and couldn't help but pause for a moment, he knew that the dense and intricate patterns on the human body were extremely difficult for martial artists to master, yet this guy had memorized them in just one night.

  It's strange to say, but Bu Fan also felt strange. Originally, when he went offline last night, he remembered being a bit confused, but unexpectedly, after going online today, he felt that the things he saw in his mind last night were particularly clear. This was also the reason why he dared to come and find Bu Er Shu.

  "Alright, since it's come to this, I'll teach you the method of circulating your breath?" said Second Uncle Zheng with a serious tone.

  Then, Bu Er Uncle took the human meridian map from Bu Fan's hand and said softly to Bu Fan: "When practicing internal skills, the first step is to feel the air. Only by feeling the air entering the body can you gather the air into strength and transform it into internal power."

  "To cultivate one's vital energy, the most important thing is to regulate one's breath, adjusting one's breathing to a calm state, eliminating distractions from the mind, and slowly guiding the energy into the body, feeling the energy entering the body..."

  Second Uncle Bu detailed and slowly explained to Bu Fan, while guiding him on the route of the Small Water Wheel.

  After finishing speaking, Step Two Shu rushed to ask Step Fan: "How is it? Do you understand?"

  Bofan replied dazedly: "I understand some of it, but not all of it!"

  "No problem! Just wait for me to guide the energy in your body through a few small cycles, and you'll understand!" said Er Ye Shu with a wave of his hand.

  He then sat behind Bu Fan, with his palms pressed against the back of Bu Fan's heart. Immediately afterwards, Bu Fan only felt a faint warmth flowing from his spine, and then it quickly flowed forward along the meridians from his back to his front body.

  Later, in his chest and back, from top to bottom, a small cycle was formed, constantly flowing back and forth, making Steph's body feel inexplicably warm.

  As this inner force flowed, a route for internal force circulation gradually took shape in Bu Fan's mind.

  Just as he was excitedly guiding that inner energy to continue circulating, the inner energy in his body slowly dissipated.

  "This is my inner strength, not yours. If I had relied on your foundation from the start, you would have found it difficult to make any breakthroughs in your future achievements!" Stepping out of his reverie, Stepping Stone's uncle's voice came calmly from behind him, instantly bringing Stepping Stone back to reality.

  "Second Uncle, what kind of technique is this? Is it powerful?" Although he knew that he wouldn't be able to get any powerful techniques at the beginning, Bu Fan still asked with a glimmer of hope.

  Bang!

  Second Uncle gently tapped on Bu Fan's forehead and said with a smile: "You little guy, you haven't even learned to walk yet, but you want to run! This is just the most basic method of building the foundation of the small heavenly cycle. You practice first, when your dantian is full of internal energy, I'll teach you the inner skill of the gong."

  "Alright, Second Uncle, you go ahead and busy yourself, I'm going to cultivate!" Bu Fan immediately jumped up excitedly, said to Bu Er Shu in a thrilling tone, then ran towards his own room.

  Because Bù Fán is a horse servant, and he is a horse servant for the young lady alone, as long as the young lady doesn't go out, Bù Fán has absolutely nothing to do.

  Besides, he grew up in the village since childhood, whether it's the housekeeper or the guard, they look at him like a child, even if he occasionally slacks off, no one manages him.

  After returning to his room, Bu Fan tightly closed the door and sat cross-legged on the bed, starting his quiet cultivation.

  Thanks to the help of Uncle Bu just now, the feeling of circulating Qi is still there. After Bu Fan calmed his mind and adjusted his breath for a while, he felt a thread of cool air entering his body, which then turned into a thin stream of air flowing inside him.

  As Bu Fan slowly breathed, more and more air entered his body. Every time the airflow passed through, it would merge with the newly inhaled air and gradually expand.

  That day, Bu Fan was in the Jianghu, doing nothing, just quietly cultivating indoors until he opened his eyes and felt dizzy again, then directly fell asleep.

  After going offline, Bu Fan returned to the Jianghu Grand Hall again, looking at his own avatar model, only to see that the skill section had changed to "Guide Qi into Body".

  "Diao Chan, tell me, if I don't enter the jianghu for a long time, what will happen to my identity in the jianghu?" Bu Fan suddenly thought of his upcoming expedition and curiously asked Diao Chan.

  "Of course, it's gone haywire! If the master doesn't return on time, then the master's body in Jianghu will appear in one of many ways such as injury, illness, or going haywire. If the master's real-time exceeds three months without appearing, then the characters in Jianghu will naturally die. So, the master must return on time!" Diao Chan replied with a bit of mischief.

  "Isn't there any way to avoid it?" Bu Fan asked with a frown after hearing that.

  "Yes, if the master owns a mansion in his own name, he can stay there without any problems. And also, as long as the master pays enough for the room at an inn, nothing will happen! In fact, outdoors is also possible, as long as it's in a deserted place, but if you're attacked by wild beasts outdoors, then that's just bad luck!" Diao Chan replied softly.

  "There is actually another way, Master. If you pay Diao Chan a small amount of credit points, she can help the Master. However, Diao Chan won't help the Master cultivate, but will only appear in Jianghu on time to complete all tasks according to her own identity. How about it, Master? Do you want Diao Chan to help you?" Diao Chan suddenly said with a smile, her face full of tempting expressions as she spoke to Bu Fan.

  Bu Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying helplessly: "Forget it, when the time comes you'll still think I've gone mad!"

  He also needs to prepare for the expedition, where there are still surplus credit points.

  "Hmph, what a petty master, Diao Chan won't bother with you anymore!" Today's Diao Chan seemed to be like a little kid, no longer the elegant and refined one from yesterday, but instead became lively and lovely.

  Unfortunately, Bu Fan didn't have the heart to appreciate her liveliness. After Diao Chan left, Bu Fan chose to leave Tian Wang as well.

  He is going to start his new day of training!
