Chapter 154 Boarding the Ship
The thirty-six states of the Xia Dynasty are vast.

Lingzhou belongs to the south from a geographical point of view, but it is close to the central area. The Luo River runs across it, and there are abundant water veins and crisscrossing rivers in the territory. Therefore, it is better to go boating than to walk, and water transportation is more convenient. The biggest source of money for many forces is the control of docks and water caravans. The profits brought by such trade are the source of support for these forces to feed so many people.

Qichi Wharf is the largest wharf in Lingyun County, handling countless goods and people every day. Therefore, the wharf is naturally firmly controlled by local forces. Looking at the large flag erected high on the wharf, you know that the owner behind this wharf is the Li family of Lingyun County!
At this moment, a cargo ship slowly sailed down the river and docked at the shore.

It seemed that there were people waiting on the side, and as soon as the boat stopped, several people immediately walked up.

"Hey, is that the Li family's boat?"

At this time, a young man carrying a cloth bag took another look.

A middle-aged man beside him wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Look, just look, you will never be able to get on this ship in your lifetime. I have never seen anyone other than our family members get on the Li family's big ship. Even those of us who move goods have to be regular people hired by the family. Newcomers don't even have the qualifications to get on board. Old Zhao who moved away last year was lucky enough to be valued by the steward and work as a coolie in the Li family. He did the same work but earned at least three or four times more. In just two years, he moved to the South City and even paid for his son's education. This is all fate. With this relationship, you may even be able to work as a servant in the Li Mansion. If you can be selected, I, your second uncle, will die with peace of mind."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he saw that his nephew was still in a daze and asked, "Haven't you seen enough?"

"It seems a little different today!" The boy pointed to the big ship.

Today is indeed different.

This cargo ship should not have stopped here, but there was a reason. The son of the third master of the Li family wanted to take the ship. Since it was arranged by their own family, it was naturally the best position. This ship was carrying a large amount of local medicinal materials and time was tight. After much calculation, this was the only cargo ship nearby. Although it was a cargo ship, it could also carry some tourists. There were also several invited guests on the ship to escort the goods, so it was safer.

At this moment, there were three guests on the boat, namely Qian Li, the gold-divider, Wang Zhen, the abacus expert, and Zhao Silu, who was in charge of money.

Qian Li and Wang Zhen were both retainers recruited in the past two years. They were quite skilled in martial arts and were no longer young, around forty years old. Although they practiced martial arts, their cultivation level was only at the second level of the acquired realm. But don't look down on them. In fact, it's not easy for most of the wanderers in the world to have such a level of cultivation. Otherwise, why would any wanderer sent out by any sect or family be at the third level of the acquired realm?

In fact, it is enough to have such skill, and you can face most problems with hard power. Of course, many times hard power is not considered, or it is not only considered with hard power. There are many shady tricks in the world. If you only practice at home, even if you are at the top of the world, you may be defeated by people who don't know martial arts outside.

This is also the reason why so many people want to travel abroad. The son of the third master of the Li family is not only old enough, but also has sufficient skills, so he plans to officially venture out.

After all, although there had been some deeds of killing horse thieves and mountain bandits before, they were all done by someone secretly watching over them, but this time it was all up to him.

This time when the young master of the Li family boarded the ship, the ceremony was not too grand. After all, people from the underworld did not have so many requirements. The only difference was that he was traveling with a young monk who was dressed in white clothes as white as snow and had an extraordinary demeanor.

This was what the young man had mentioned as a difference; after all, it was rare to see monks at the docks. However, as the men boarded the ship, it quickly set sail. What followed had nothing to do with the two men making a living at the docks. They were just looking for three meals a day, while the people on the ship needed more than that.

"Thank you, sir." After boarding the boat, the young monk thanked the young man in brocade clothes who was traveling with him.

"Hahaha, it's just a small favor, nothing to worry about. Little Master Mingxin, my father has instructed us to get close to each other. We'll have a long way to go, so it's helpful to have someone to take care of us!" The young man laughed and didn't care but introduced other people to him.

According to the book, after Li Ming passed the test of the abbot, he was taught the "Darata Sambodhi Heart Sutra" and finally understood the path of cultivation after the innate.

The so-called innate is actually nothing more than connecting heaven and earth, attracting spiritual energy to fill the body, polishing the flesh, returning the acquired to the innate, promoting the essence of life, removing impurities, purifying the flesh, and transforming true energy into true essence, or it can be called innate true energy, innate罡气!
From then on, he could feel the will of heaven, and every move he made would naturally draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The power of each move was greatly increased, and he could touch the divine energy with miraculous effects. This was why the abbot was certain that Li Ming was telling the truth after just testing him a few times. After all, in his view, no matter how magical Li Ming was, as long as he was an acquired warrior, he would have no ability to resist the innate divine energy at all.

Strictly speaking, cultivation has just begun after the innate stage. After the innate stage, one must understand the acupoints and point the acupoints. The human body is a small world, corresponding to the big world of heaven and earth. Opening up the two bridges of heaven and earth is only the beginning of innate cultivation. After that, every time the position of an acupoint is measured, a large amount of innate true energy must be consumed to connect it. And every time an acupoint is connected, not only can the body accommodate more true energy, but it is also easier to sense the heaven and earth, that is, it is easier to mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth and enhance the power of martial arts.

Therefore, the Xiantian realm is judged by the number of acupoints illuminated. After all, in this world, anyone who can break through to the Xiantian realm is a powerful being. Although there are differences in the strength of moves and secret techniques, the gap is not too great. Only the number of acupoints illuminated has a huge impact on combat effectiveness. Generally, martial arts have basically reached the Xiantian stage, and only a few exercises will record the methods of illuminating acupoints and the corresponding acupoint measurement methods. These secret manuals are often monopolized by famous sects. Perhaps a lucky few can break through the Xiantian barrier, but if they are unable to grasp the practice after the Xiantian stage and continue to blindly accumulate skills, they are truly foolish.

This also caused a huge disparity in combat power in the innate stage. Those independent cultivators who did not have Ming acupoints could only show off their power in front of acquired warriors who were not as good as the innate ones. However, those warriors with a large number of Ming acupoints were the ones who truly had an invincible force.

The secret books of each family are different, and the corresponding acupoints are different, which will lead to huge differences in the power of martial arts. It does not mean that I will not be able to beat you if you have three more points than me.

Some people open a few acupoints here and there, but some people open up all the acupoints on a certain meridian, which will give them additional amplification and make their martial arts performance incredibly powerful.

This step is the most testing of each family's foundation. How to open up each acupoint is the result of countless efforts of predecessors. The connection between different acupoints and the order of opening up the acupoints are all important matters related to future practice. There is also a strange thing about the innate level.

It can break out in varying degrees.

In other words, you only need to open up all the acupoints on at least one meridian to sprint towards the realm of supernatural powers. The difficulty will even be lower, but your future achievements will be smaller.
