Chapter 33: Qi Chong Dou Niu
he Dragon Envoy and the Sea Forest Holy Clan necessarily a cooperative oneAs for the second question, Jiang Wang was unsure whether to ask it. Questions concerning the dark period were unlikely to ha...Cultivation isn't about simply secluded meditation day and night to achieve rapid progress. In reality, worldly experience and various struggles are equally important. This is also why Emperor Zhuang set up the Dao Merit List to motivate cultivators to complete various tasks. It's not because the imperial court can't handle those matters, but rather that this kind of training can improve cultivation efficiency. It's not unique to Zhuang Guo; every country and school in the world has similar systems.
For example, in the Battle of Xiaolin Town, after slaying the vengeful ghost, more than ten new Dao Origins spontaneously emerged in Jiang Wang's Tongtian Palace. These were not cultivated through meridian channeling practice, but rather naturally nurtured in the aftermath of the fierce battle.
Dao Yuan is the perfect fusion of intention and power, the true reflection of the spirit of all things on the fundamental origin of heaven and earth, and also the foundation of all strength and the root of all transcendence.
This is Zhao Ruocheng's reason for inviting everyone to drink flower wine—everyone, as practitioners, needs a fulfilling life experience.
Linghe, with his upright and honest character, refused to associate with the corrupt. So he was responsible for picking up Jiang Annan from school that day and taking her out to play.
Du Yecho was very eager for it, Jiang Wang half-pushed and half-accepted. He originally refused on the pretext of taking care of Xiao Anan, but after Zhao Rucheng quickly "arranged" Ling He, everything went smoothly.
There was also a Huang A-zhan, who at the time was drinking with Du Yecho. Hearing about such good news, he was practically dragged over by the legs of Du Yecho all the way. Luckily, Zhao Dashao is wealthy and generous, and doesn't mind a few extra idle people.
In Fenglin City, the best brothel is Sanshenxianglou. It has the most luxurious private rooms and the most expensive courtesans.
Since moving out to live with AnAn, they had little time to get together outside of their classes at the Daoist Temple. After three rounds of drinks, Jiang Wang asked the young ladies to leave first.
"Hey hey hey, don't go."
“Sister, good sister, I’m going home with you!”

Naturally, it was Huang Azhan who was red-faced, crying and sobbing. He had just been pestering each girl for at least seven or eight rounds of drinks. Right now, he was slightly tipsy. He almost wanted to send them off ten miles away, his feelings were so deep and hard to let go. He really wanted to entrust his virginity here. But the girls all smiled and refused, filing out one after another.
They are all practitioners, of course not likely to act recklessly. For practitioners, it is very necessary to maintain the body of primordial yang before opening the Heavenly Gate.
Therefore, Jiang Wang always remained sober.
But Du Yexiang just wanted to drink. Where he drank and with whom was secondary.
Only Huang Azhan lingered reluctantly. He looked pleadingly at Zhao Ruocheng, for in his eyes, they were kindred spirits. But Zhao Ruocheng only shook his head. The girl he had specially invited didn't come, and he couldn't hide his disappointment, "Common women, truly dull."
“This is just commonplace vulgarity, this is just!” Huang Ajian almost jumped up, “How big was that cup! No, how round was that clothing! No, how white was that hairpin…”
He finally gave up, sobbing uncontrollably: "Woooo, where is the vulgarity"
Jiang Wang: "...".
Zhao Ruzheng: “...”
"Du Yexi slapped him on the head, "You've had too much to drink, just go to sleep. You can dream whatever you want in your sleep."
Huang Azhan, who ignored the trend and lay on the table snoring like thunder, Jiang Wang calculated for a moment and said, “I’ve done some missions here and there this time, earning 15 points of dao merit. Adding to the 25 points I had saved before, I have 40 points in total. I don’t need dao merit for now, so I'll transfer it to you guys. Whoever among you has enough dao merit, can exchange for an open meridian pill first.”

He, of course, was referring to Zhao Ruocheng and Du Yexu, and naturally also to Ling He who was absent. They were all brothers from the same family; if one had to rank them, they knew each other well enough by now. Therefore, it would be best to let whoever had accumulated the most virtue go first.
The manifestation of the Dao pulse is a major event, it's the first step to transcendence, and of course, the sooner the better.
"I don't want to." Zhao Ruocheng languidly leaned against his chair. It seemed he had always been indifferent to cultivation, relying solely on his talent.
"I don't need it either." Du Yexiao drank down his cup of wine and suddenly said, "I'm leaving."
“Let’s go, where to” Jiang Wang asked.
“Before, Wei Yan asked me if I wanted to go to the army. After thinking about it for a few days, I've made my decision, and I'll leave tomorrow.”
This came out of the blue, Zhao Rucheng sat up straight, "Tiger brother, have you thought this through"
“I’ve thought about it.” Du Yexi grinned. “Wei Yan said I’m better suited for the military path, and I agree.”
It's true what they say, Jiang Wang and Zhao Ru Cheng both know that Du Yehu has an extraordinary physique, his qi and blood are powerful, he is indeed a seed of the military family. But the entire Zhuang country is mainly focused on Dao cultivation, and there aren't many strong military families in Zhuang country.
Even now, the nominal supreme military commander of Zhuang Guo, General Huanpu Duoming, is actually a strong practitioner of Taoism. Zhuang Guo lacks the soil for cultivators from other schools, of course including those from the martial arts school. Even Wei Yan himself practices Taoist techniques.
If Du Yexiao chooses this path, it means he will not have a systematic training space for a long time, but only some scattered martial arts practices.
It's not that the military force of the Zhuang State was inadequate. The most important factor that allowed them to maintain peace for so long under the watchful gaze of Yong State was the support of the Daoist sect. The Zhuang court lacked the firmness to be as inclusive as the courts of Qin and Chu. Since the Zhuang State primarily relied on Daoist cultivation, it could only continue to do so.
Ke Jiangwang couldn't find the words to stop him. He knew Du Yehǔ’s character too well; this man had a fiery spirit, wild and untamed, refusing to lose, unwilling to be left behind by Ke Jiangwang. But those scriptures gave him a headache, they simply weren't compatible with his style. And his physique, his vital energy, were undeniably extraordinary. If he were in Mo Guo or some other place where warriors flourished, he would undoubtedly be a celebrated prodigy.
“Who did Wei Yan recruit you for” Jiang Wang asked.
"There were quite a few vacancies on the Xuanjia side in Jiujing, and several of those positions were allocated to our Fenglin City. Wei Yan thought I was suitable, so he recommended me."
Perhaps Toono Ko's bravery and straightforwardness appealed to the military man's taste. After the Kobayakawa Town mission, Wei Yan actually established a friendship with him.

As for the Jiāng Xuanjia... that was almost the glory of Zhuang State, the most powerful army in all of Zhuang State. Its fame even surpassed the Baiyu Army that guarded the new capital, Xīn'ān.

In fact, because of the existence of Jiujing Xuanjia, Jiujing City, as a single city, is often called Zhuang Country's fourth county. It nominally belongs to Daishan County, but in reality, it has a high degree of autonomy. The lord of Jiujing City is also the leader of Jiujing Xuanjia, and this tradition has continued since the founding of the country, which shows its uniqueness.
"Even if he went to Jiujing Xuanjia, he would still need Dao Xun." Because Du Yexiao was about to join the army, Jiang Wang had already decided to transfer his own Dao Xun to him first.
"No need." Du Yexiao still shook his head. He wasn't being sentimental, nor was he a sentimental person. He said straightforwardly, "Since I've chosen the path of a soldier, I don't intend to take Kai Mai Dan. Of course, I have to follow the most traditional and ancient way of the martial artist!"
The so-called military tradition refers to practitioners who do not rely on elixirs, but choose to open the meridians with qi and blood. It is already considered "ancient" because only one in a thousand people can succeed on this path. The best outcome for those who fail is to become disabled, and more die instantly.
It should be noted that daily practice of two rounds of pulse-toning cultivates vital energy and blood, refining the essence of Tao, which is already the ultimate limit for ordinary people. But to gather immense vital energy and blood, directly breaking through the Heavenly Palace and externally manifesting the Dao meridian, this is another level of danger altogether
But precisely because of its ferocity, it was instead revered as the orthodox way by those madmen in the military, who held it in high esteem.
Once successful, the benefits are also immense. Military cultivators who successfully open up their meridians through this method often achieve accomplishments that surpass ordinary people.

“So, I’ll give my share to the Big Brother first. Mine too.” Du Yexu lightly cut off his own path and directly grabbed the wine pot, gulping down half of it.
