Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

Could it be that the world is as big as your heart?

However, Jiang Weichen still has no idea how to cultivate his mind.

There seems to be no method of cultivating the mind in the Tianlong world. Taoist visualization and Buddhist meditation should be used to refine the spirit, not to cultivate the mind.

However, Confucianism's philosophy of mind seems to have taken root in the Song Dynasty.

The "Lu" in Lu-Wang School of Mind refers to a person from the Song Dynasty.

I just don’t know if Confucianism’s philosophy of mind is helpful for cultivation. Maybe I can study it in the future.

After Jiang Weichen sorted out his insights and gains from today's competition, he returned to his bedroom to rest.

The next day, Qin Xiao came to Jiang Weichen's residence and said with a complicated look in his eyes, "Deacon Jiang, the gang leader and Elder Huang plan to hold a celebration banquet for you tonight. Please attend on time."

He could understand why Zhao Chengtian held a celebration party for him, but there was definitely something wrong with Huang Mengsheng being so active.

What’s more, it was Huang Mengsheng who first proposed this celebration banquet, which makes it even more problematic.

This competition was initiated by Huang Mengsheng. Now that he is alive, he is not angry but so positive?

Jiang Weichen replied, "I won't be attending the celebration banquet. I need to recuperate."

Jiang Weichen's injury hasn't healed yet, so how could he possibly attend a problematic celebration banquet?

Although no one in the Black Tiger Gang can match him, he has no confidants while others do. It would be bad if he were to be besieged.

Qin Xiao didn't say much, he was just a messenger.

After returning, Qin Xiao reported Jiang Weichen's original words to the gang leader and Elder Huang.

Zhao Chengtian's face looked a little unhappy. He had originally planned to announce his abdication at the celebration banquet so that he could use the money in his hands to practice.

It would be best if you can break through the innate level, but if not, then you should say goodbye to the world completely and enjoy your grandchildren.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Weichen was so disrespectful.

Zhu Kai immediately said, "Boss, Jiang Weichen is relying on his superior martial arts skills and no longer takes you seriously. What is he going to do?"

Zhao Chengtian looked at Zhu Kai who was fanning the flames and said, "Then go teach him a lesson!"

Zhu Kai was immediately choked up and said, "I'm just speaking up for the gang leader. Since he won't be attending, then we won't hold the celebration banquet. This will save us money."

Zhao Chengtian nodded and was about to leave.

Huang Mengsheng looked at Li Ziniu, who immediately stood up and said, "Boss, how can this be allowed? It's like our Black Tiger Gang has no money. Since he needs to recuperate, let's wait until he recovers."

Huang Mengsheng also said: "Boss, we have to hold this celebration banquet even if it's just for show, otherwise people will say that our Black Tiger Gang doesn't treat those who have made contributions well."

Zhao Chengtian couldn't understand what these two people were doing. Why were they so active?

They wanted Jiang Weichen to die before.

But he didn't want to get involved too much. He had to take advantage of the present moment to collect more valuables.

When he had nothing, he was also a passionate young man, but he had had too many good days and his grandson had just been born.

He began to become cautious, accumulated a lot of money, and didn't want to work so hard anymore.

A few years ago, when the Dark Night Pavilion, backed by the Qiu Shui Sword Sect, was about to attack them, he was ready to run away.

In recent years, the two gangs have been fighting frequently, and Huang Mengsheng wants to control the Black Tiger Gang. He has to deal with both external and internal issues, and he is very tired. Now he has another strong man under his command.

He no longer intended to interfere and said, "You guys can handle it yourselves."

Chapter 76 Banquet Incident

Jiang Weichen was afraid that Huang Mengsheng would cause trouble again, so he planned to go to Feng Chuan to recuperate before coming back.

But Qin Xiao returned and said, "Deacon Jiang, Elder Huang asked you to rest and recuperate. The celebration banquet has been postponed to half a month later, and you must attend."

Jiang Weichen nodded and said, "Okay, I will attend."

The medicines used by Jiang Weichen are all made of precious medicinal materials, and they will hardly affect his combat effectiveness in half a month.

He wanted to see what Huang Mengsheng was up to. It's true that a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Since he is asked to attend the banquet in half a month, he will have nothing to do during this period.

Jiang Weichen lived peacefully in his own yard. Since he couldn't practice dynamic exercises, he would meditate to accumulate internal strength, which happened to open up the sixth meridian and reach the peak of the third level of acquired cultivation.

……

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and Jiang Weichen finally opened up the sixth meridian as he wished, and reached the peak of the third level of the acquired realm.

"dong dong dong~"

There's a knock on the door!

Jiang Weichen, who was meditating in the courtyard, then said, "Come in!"

The person who pushed the door open and walked in was Qin Xiao again.

"Deacon Jiang, the celebration banquet is about to begin. The elder asked me to invite you over!"

Jiang Weichen picked up the Immortal-Slaying Sword placed on his leg and then stood up.

He took out the cowhide scabbard and inserted the Immortal-Slaying Sword into it, along with the scabbard, and carried it behind his back.

Ever since he achieved the unity of man and sword, Jiang Weichen has always carried the Immortal-Slaying Sword with him and almost never lets it go.

Place it on your legs when meditating, at your side when sleeping, and in the sword sheath on your back when walking.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Weichen said casually, and then walked out first.

Qin Xiao followed behind and locked the gate.

Although both of them were deacons, the gap in strength was too great, and he had no choice but to be respectful.

"Qin Xiao, are you Elder Huang's man, or the gang leader's man?"

Qin Xiao was stunned when he heard Jiang Weichen's question. Then he replied, "Deacon Jiang, I don't belong to anyone. I only care about myself."

Jiang Weichen casually replied, "Oh, neutral? Or rather, fence-sitter? Whichever way the wind blows, you go with it?"

Qin Xiao behind him sighed: "Maybe, although I haven't clearly joined either side, but I listen to the leader's words and the elders' words."

"Then do you know what will happen tonight?"

Jiang Weichen was 80% sure that there was something fishy going on at tonight's celebration banquet.

There must be something wrong with Huang Mengsheng being so active.

Qin Xiao thought for a moment, but still replied, "I don't know. No one has told me anything other than celebrating Deacon Jiang's success."

"This is the fate of a neutral person. No one will trust you, and you will be the last to know anything."

Jiang Weichen said as he walked.

"Did Deacon Jiang get any news in advance?" Qin Xiao had to ask carefully.

Jiang Weichen shook his head and said, "No, I'm not anyone's confidant, so naturally no one told me."

Jiang Weichen paused after speaking, then said, "But I know something will happen tonight. Perhaps after tonight, Deacon Qin will no longer be able to be a fence-sitter."

Qin Xiao didn't understand why, but he became alert.

Jiang Weichen's residence was not far from the headquarters, and the two of them soon arrived at the headquarters compound.

The hall where meetings were usually held had been vacated and eight or nine tables were placed in it.

Every table was full of people.

Jiang Weichen took a quick look and estimated that there were more than sixty people.

Thirty or forty elite members are the shopkeepers or deacons below the seventh level of the acquired realm, plus four elders and the gang leader.

Almost everyone from the Black Tiger Gang is here.

As for ordinary members, they are not eligible to participate.

Those who can come are here to do odd jobs.

As soon as Jiang Weichen entered the hall, Huang Mengsheng smiled and waved, "Deacon Jiang, come here, come and sit here."

Jiang Weichen nodded, walked past, stepped onto a step and came to the only table at the top.

"Greetings to the gang leader and all the elders!"

Zhao Chengtian nodded and said, "Sit down. Today is a celebration for you. You are the protagonist. I also have something to announce after the celebration banquet."

Jiang Weichen nodded and sat down, but he was a little confused. Could it be that he guessed wrong?

Isn’t this celebration banquet Huang Mengsheng’s conspiracy?

After Jiang Weichen arrived, Zhao Chengtian clapped his hands, and then people came in one after another with dishes.

Dishes were served one after another: beef, mutton, bird's nest, abalone, lotus seed porridge...

Although the killing of cattle was prohibited in the Song Dynasty, it was only for ordinary people.

It is very easy for dignitaries and common people to eat beef.

After all the dishes were served, Zhao Chengtian stood up and said, "Brothers, I, Zhao Chengtian, founded the Black Tiger Gang over ten years ago. Over the past decade, many brothers have been injured or died, but it is precisely because of their dedication that we have everything we have today.

This first glass of wine should be dedicated to those who have selflessly contributed to the Black Tiger Gang in the past."

After Zhao Chengtian finished speaking, he raised his glass first, and everyone below also stood up and raised their glasses.

Jiang Weichen also stood up, picked up the wine glass, and then "drank it all in one gulp."

Zhao Chengtian then said, "The first glass of wine is for those who have passed by, and this second glass of wine should be for all brothers. It is because of everyone's efforts that the Black Tiger Gang is what it is today."

Everyone raised their glasses again, some modestly, some as a matter of course, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Zhao Chengtian raised his glass again and said, "I, Zhao Chengtian, founded the Black Tiger Gang over ten years ago. I wanted to lead it to grow and prosper, but I was unable to do so and ended up bringing it to the brink of destruction.

Fortunately, our Black Tiger Gang is prosperous and has gained some talented young people to join us. This third glass of wine should be dedicated to Deacon Jiang Weichen. It was his appearance that stopped the Black Tiger Gang's decline.

It was he who, with his weak body, represented the Black Tiger Gang in the battle against the Dark Night Pavilion, winning us two years of peace.

Let's toast to Deacon Jiang with this third glass of wine!"

Everyone in the audience, including Huang Mengsheng and the others, raised their glasses and said to Jiang Weichen, "Cheers to Deacon Jiang!"
