Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 26: Joining the Qimen Sect
Jiang asked questions along the way and finally found the Qimen General Store.

The Qimen General Store in Qing County is much more majestic than the blacksmith shop in Qingyang Town. A three-story building stands majestically at the corner of the street, with the Chinese characters "Qimen General Store" written in a flamboyant style on the plaque.

According to Jiang Yue's observation, the Qimen main store is not just this small building. The four or five shops around it are all owned by Qimen, each with its own function.

There was a constant stream of pedestrians of all kinds coming and going in front of the shop.

The complex flow of people made Jiang Yue feel like he was just an ordinary person among the vast crowd.

Jiang Yue stepped into the Qimen General Store and was surprised to find that the store was filled with antique displays. Various weapons, armor, leather clothing, bows and arrows, etc. were placed on the cabinets. The dazzling array of items made Jiang Yue stunned.

"Sir, what do you need?"

A guy in gray came forward with a smile on his face.

"I'm here to worship the Qimen."

Jiang Yue said in a deep voice.

"Ok?"

The guy was stunned.

"I have a weapon that the master of the Qimen Sect once made."

Jiang Yue's words instantly attracted the attention of many customers around him, and everyone looked at him with envy.

The shop assistants were also very envious.

Judging from Jiang Yue's attire, he was just an ordinary hunter, and he looked exhausted. He was probably from the villages and towns below. He could barely support himself, and his status and position were even lower than theirs.

But Jiang Yue has a weapon made by the leader of Qing County's Qimen when he was young, so he can directly become a disciple of Qimen and learn skills.

If one can learn to become a martial artist, then he will be truly considered a member of the martial arts school and will be able to learn the skills of using weapons. From then on, he will be able to turn his life around and even the government offices will not dare to provoke him.

Even if you fail to learn it, or only learn two or three levels, you can still go in and out of the mountains and forests with your own ability. If you save up for a few years, it will not be difficult to buy a house in Qing County.

They would be lying if they said they weren't envious.

Ordinary people like them, with no past connections, could not become members of the Qi Sect even if they paid silver, because this path to becoming members of the Qi Sect by paying silver was only open to the wealthy families in the county.

"Please wait a moment. I will go and report to my master."

As soon as he finished speaking, the clerk hurried to the backyard, while Jiang Yue wandered around the shop, waiting for news.

After walking around for a few minutes, Jiang Yue's eyes fell on a precious bow.

This bow is hung on the wall. The bow body is orange-red and the bowstring is tough. One can feel a murderous aura at first glance. There are three big words "Five Stone Bow" written next to it.

"Five-stone bow."

Jiang Yue was startled and began to look forward to it.

I don't know when he will be able to use the five-stone bow.

After looking at the price, Jiang Yue was secretly shocked by the selling price of twenty taels of silver.

Jiang Yue was surprised, then turned around and saw the clerk coming back to the store with a young man in black clothes.

Although it is noon now, it is late autumn. The young man is wearing thin clothes, but he doesn't feel cold at all. He stands there like an old pine tree, which is really amazing.

"Master Hu, the man is here."

The guy pointed at Jiang Yue.

Lord Hu glanced at Jiang Yue and said with a smile, "I am Hu Yunlong, the fifth disciple of the master of the Qi Sect. I wonder what weapon you are holding?"

"My name is Jiang Yue, and my weapon is this old bow."

Jiang Yue took off the precious bow on his back and was about to hand it to Hu Yunlong.

"Wait a minute."

Hu Yunlong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since Master released the "Old Friendship", many people have come to me to become my disciples, claiming to have the weapons that Master made. However, only one in ten people actually have them. My dear brother, I will say this first. If you are here to cheat and waste your time, I am afraid you will not be able to walk out of this door intact today." "Okay, I have said everything I need to say. Brother, think about whether you want to let me see the treasure bow for testing."

Hearing this, Jiang Yue handed the precious bow in his hand to Hu Yunlong without any hesitation. The precious bow in his hand had been verified by Shi Lei a long time ago, and there was no problem with it. It was the bow that was made by Xu Chong from the Weapon Sect back then, so Jiang Yue naturally did not feel guilty at all.

"Um"

Hu Yunlong took the two stone bows and examined them carefully. His gaze paused for a moment on the small characters. Finally, he went to the backyard to get an arrow and tried archery himself for a while.

"It is indeed the bow that Master made back then."

Hu Yunlong's eyes softened a lot, and he said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, come with me to the backyard to discuss matters."

After saying that, Hu Yunlong motioned Jiang Yue to follow him, and took Jiang Yue around the counter and walked towards the back of the pavilion, leaving only a crowd of envious eyes cast at Jiang Yue's back.

Hu Yunlong brought Jiang Yue to a small courtyard behind the main shop, where many young men were standing in strange postures, shivering all over. Although it was late autumn and the weather was cold, they were shirtless and their foreheads were covered with sweat.

Seeing Jiang Yue and Hu Yunlong come in, their eyes moved to the two of them, but were glared at by Hu Yunlong, and they quickly retracted their gaze, looking at the nose with their eyes and the heart with their nose.

"Brother Jiang, are you from Qing County?"

Hu Yunlong asked.

Jiang Yue cupped his hands and said, "Sir Hu, I am from Qingyang Town. I met Brother Shi Lei in the blacksmith shop. It was he who saw the extraordinary features of my precious bow and introduced me to the Qimen."

"I see."

Hu Yunlong suddenly realized, "No wonder, Xiaoshi's eyes are really sharp."

At this point, Hu Yunlong paused and continued, "I guess Shi Lei also told you about the rules of the Qimen Sect, but I will repeat it to you again."

"it is good!"

Jiang Yue listened attentively.

"From now on, you are considered an apprentice of the Qimen."

Hu Yunlong said in a deep voice: "Apprentices of Qimen can learn martial arts and refine methods. They can come to Qimen's main shop once a month to ask us about the difficulties in refining methods. The rest of the time is free to arrange as long as they don't damage the reputation of Qimen. If they can become a warrior within three years, they can become Qimen disciples and learn martial arts killing methods and nurturing methods. After being tested by the master, they can also learn iron forging methods. Do you still have any questions?"

"Master Hu, what is this method of refining and killing?"

Jiang Yue asked the doubts in his mind.

Hu Yunlong smiled and explained: "It's a complete martial arts book, divided into training methods, nurturing methods, and killing methods."

Hu Yunlong pointed at the disciples who were standing in strange postures and said, "The standing practice they are doing now is called training method. Training method is a way to temper the body and push the body to its limit."

"When the body reaches its limit, it can be restored with nourishing methods, medicinal baths, and soups. Wouldn't it become stronger?"

"As for the killing method, it allows you to better exert your full strength."

Hu Yunlong is very enthusiastic and his explanations are easy to understand.

Jiang Yue understood it completely.

From this perspective, the archery in the panel can be considered a killing method, and the medicinal bath can be considered a nurturing method. As for the refining method, Jiang Yue really does not have it.

However, Jiang Yue thought about how he had eaten the spiritual peach before, and how he and Xiaotian had been running wildly in the mountains to escape, and his body functions had reached their limits. After resting and recovering, his physical fitness had indeed improved several times.

"Limit, recovery, and improvement."

Jiang Yue concluded.

"Your understanding is good. This is the principle of cultivation. Constantly approach the limits of the physical body and develop the secrets of the physical body."

Hu Yunlong smiled and said, "Today I will teach you the Skin Barrier Refining Method. After you break through the Skin Barrier, you can come and learn the Flesh Barrier Refining Method. We will teach you all five barrier refining methods. As for the nourishing method, we will not teach you. If you want to recover faster and better, you can eat more meat, or go to the pharmacy to buy nourishing soup medicine. As for the killing method, you can learn it after becoming a formal disciple of the Weapon Sect."

"I understand."

Jiang Yue was eager to try.

Hu Yunlong said calmly: "Okay, then today I will teach you the Pi Guan Refining Method, the Black Iron Stake. I will only teach you for an hour and a half. If you don't learn it, you can only come back next month to learn it."
