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

Chapter 16!!!

After the map is fully drawn, the dagger is revealed.

After hearing Li Qingshan's choice, Wang Xiao nodded:

"A wise choice."

Those who are bound by blood are controlled by blood.

In comparison, martial arts offer more freedom.

Our Iron Legs Sect is a branch of the Divine Travel Sect.

If you have enough talent, you can still find a path to follow without having to venture into forbidden areas to find your way.

Your biggest problem right now is resources.

Li Qingshan quickly stood up and bowed to Wang Xiao: "Please teach me, Instructor."

We should still cooperate when necessary.

Wang Xiao replied naturally:

There is no such thing as good without a reason in this world.

The core of resources is value.

I can only offer a few suggestions based on my own experience, but ultimately, the choice is yours.

As he spoke, he held up one finger:

"The first rule is to demonstrate your talent and join the Iron Legs Sect directly."

Iron Legs Sect provides various resources to disciples who enter based on their talent.

In return, these disciples, after breaking through to the Physical Body Realm, must serve in the Bitter Realm and obey orders. Compared to disciples who join after breaking through to the Physical Body Realm, they have much less freedom.

I joined the Iron Legs Sect after breaking through to the Physical Body Realm. I could have had a relatively easy life, but I couldn't resist the temptation of rapid growth. I borrowed contribution points and exchanged them for a treasure called the Water of Life.

With the help of the treasure, I quickly broke through to the Qi Sea Realm.

The price I've paid is that I've served the Iron Legs Gate for over twenty years and still haven't paid off my debts.

I'm only alive now because I'm incredibly lucky.

hiss~

Li Qingshan trembled as he listened.

This is just his student loan from the United States in his previous life.

He couldn't help but ask, "Iron Legs Sect treats its new members like this, aren't they afraid of alienating and alienating them?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao's eyes widened in surprise.

He shrugged: "What do you think martial arts sects recruit people, give you training methods, and expend resources to cultivate you for? Is it out of altruism? Or is it for those ancestral masters who can live for hundreds or even thousands of years to preserve the sect?"

"Hundreds or thousands of years?"

Li Qingshan's eyes widened.

This has been going on for hundreds or thousands of years?

According to the information Wang Xiao had previously revealed, the Iron Leg Sect was merely a county-level force, an insignificant member of the Martial Alliance, sounding like a beginner's village.

And you're telling me that the boss in the newbie village can live that long?

"Yes, that is, hundreds or thousands of years."

A martial artist at the Physical Body Realm undergoes a complete transformation. As long as they don't die in battle and their bodies remain intact, they can easily live for 120 years.

After breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm, one should nourish one's spirit with essence and energy.

The spirit never declines, and life never ends.

A Qi Sea Realm cultivator can live for two hundred years.

Two hundred and fifty years in the Meridian Opening Realm.

The Spirit Transformation Realm is for those who have comprehended minor martial arts techniques and nurtured the rudimentary form of their martial soul. The weaker ones can live for three to five hundred years, while the stronger ones can live for a thousand years.

At this point, Wang Xiao revealed a cold smile:

"Within the Martial Alliance, the law of the jungle prevails."

To protect the Bitter Realm, we need a powerful cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm.

The Iron Legs Sect ruled Qingyuan County for just over three hundred years, and its patriarch is still alive and well, with at least several hundred more years to live.

The founding of the Iron Leg Sect was simply because the Bitter Realm was vast and the Ancestor needed cannon fodder to scavenge various resources, not to raise them for the purpose of inheritance.

Within the Iron Leg Sect, there are so-called outer sect, inner sect, and true disciple. Do you think these refer to status?

wrong.

It refers to your years of service and degree of freedom.

The outer sect is the ordinary physical body realm, with the highest degree of freedom; the inner sect is like me, a disciple who borrows and lends money; as for the true disciples...

Wang Xiao paused, then sneered again:

"The true teachings are no longer about lending money, but about risking one's life."

This is also the most important lesson I'm teaching you: don't take so-called sects too seriously.

Many disciples joined the Iron Legs Sect thinking they could defy fate and change their destiny, but in reality, within five years, most of these disciples would die or be injured.

To put it bluntly...

If the patriarch were ever ambushed in the Bitter Realm, his first reaction would be to run away, not to protect the Iron Leg Sect's legacy.

The sole purpose of a minor sect is to serve the founder who established it.

A distorted form of equivalent exchange.

This is the universal operating principle of the martial arts world today!

Wang Xiao spoke quickly and urgently, clearly showing his emotions, indicating that he had been tricked before.

Li Qingshan's impressions of novels from his previous life were almost completely overturned by Wang Xiao's words.

But upon calming down and thinking carefully, one realizes that what Wang Xiao said is more in line with reality and human nature.

So-called inheritance is more of a short-lived self-delusion.

When a person's life reaches two hundred years, two thousand years... essentially, they can no longer be considered human.

...

Wang Xiao was stirred up by his own words, which triggered some long-suppressed emotions.

a long time.

He took a deep breath, and his face returned to calm:

"Regardless of whether it's the outer sect, the inner sect, or the true lineage, value is the only standard for measurement."

Regardless of your identity.

All you want to do is seek benefits and advance payments through the sect.

Then, take away 80% of the minimum estimated value you can provide to the sect, and that's how much of the resources you can 'borrow' from the sect.

That's roughly the standard.

Let me tell you about the second option.

Li Qingshan quickly perked up.

If Wang Xiao hadn't told him all this, he would never have known there were so many pitfalls.

By the time they realized it, they had already been scammed.

The outcome is hard to say.

Even if Wang Xiao had other purposes after learning that he possessed martial arts talent, it was only after that he told him all this.

We must acknowledge the debt of gratitude.

This is Li Qingshan's principle in life.

As for whether or not to repay the debt, and how to repay it, that depends on how difficult things become.

...

"This second method won't allow you to cultivate comfortably, but it's still quite easy for you to smoothly pass through the physical body stage."

The cost is also small.

There will be absolutely no danger to your life, nor will it damage your martial arts potential.

The only hurdle is having awakened martial spirit.

Only if you agree and keep it a secret can I tell you what it is.

After challenging Li Qingshan's worldview, Wang Xiao immediately revealed his true purpose.

"Wugu?"

Li Qingshan was silent for a moment: "Are you sure there's no danger?"

Wang Xiao shook his head: "As long as your recovery is good, there is no danger, and you will even feel great. At most, you will have some psychological trauma afterward."

"Psychological trauma..."

After listening, Li Qingshan was somewhat conflicted.

Could it be that they dissect and study themselves?

Wang Xiao wasn't in a hurry; he simply tapped his fingers on the stone table, waiting for Li Qingshan's choice.

If he's not mistaken.

Li Qingshan must have awakened his self-healing martial arts.

This martial bone, taken out of context, is actually a trap. If you put it into a sect, it will consume a lot of resources but have poor immediate combat power, making it a trap within a trap.

I want to grow up.

They were even worse off than other martial arts disciples who risked their lives for their sects.

But there is one advantage.

That is durability.

What he valued most about the other party was their durability.

In any case, his proposal was beneficial to both sides.

It all depends on whether Li Qingshan is willing or not.

...

After a moment's thought, Li Qingshan said with a determined look, "Teacher, you speak."

He does need resources to quickly break through the physical realm.

Only in this way could he join the Iron Legs Sect, and then use the Iron Legs Sect platform to remove the side effects of self-healing, while also gaining access to more of the world's secrets.

Another point is that Wang Xiao actually gave him a good impression.

As long as Wang Xiao hadn't lied to him about what he said earlier, Li Qingshan was willing to accept any losses later.

Seeing that Li Qingshan had made his choice, Wang Xiao smiled.

He stood up and laughed, "Don't worry, this matter will benefit both of us. Come on, come with me to Wangjiabao. I still have more than a dozen unmarried daughters there."

Li Qingshan: ? ? ?

He was a little confused: "Teacher, what does this have to do with your daughter?"

Wang Xiaoli replied matter-of-factly, "When it comes to breeding, it's naturally inseparable from my daughters."

"ah!!!"

Li Qingshan was truly furious.

You've been beating around the bush for ages, and it turns out you just want me to be a stud pig!
