Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 277: Chapter 83: Low-class Family Shines, Fame Spreads Across Jiangnan

”Nine Revolutions True Blood Refining the Viscera, this method I’ve never heard of,”

In the valley of the Special Training Ground, the six Instructors, including Min Huanbo, had already left, leaving only the two elders, Jia Nanzhu and Li Yueshan.

Lin Chen did not hide the reward he had received on Martial Arts Mountain. What he did not expect was that both Instructor Jia and Elder Lord Li looked puzzled when they heard about the Nine Revolutions True Blood Refining the Viscera.

”Lin Chen, although your realm is still some distance away from Refining Viscera, your strength is already close, so today I will tell you about the Refining Viscera Realm.”

Jia Nanzhu noticed Lin Chen’s confusion and said solemnly, ”Qi Cultivation, Opening the Acupoints, Refining the Viscera; the three stages of a Martial Artist’s physical cultivation are collectively called the Body Refining Realm. The practice of Opening Acupoints is to cultivate meridians, while Refining the Viscera is to temper the five internal organs. Most Viscera Cultivation Methods temper the organs one by one, and when all five organs are tempered, it is considered Great Success.”

”Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are the five organs. The acupoints govern the exterior, the five organs govern the interior. Liang’s Viscera Cultivation Methods differ mainly in the order of tempering the organs. Some methods temper the heart first, others the liver... The cultivation technique is not about strength or weakness, but suitability.”

At this point, Jia Nanzhu paused: ”But this is the case in most situations. There are some more special cultivation techniques that, once cultivated, can significantly enhance strength beyond peers in the same realm. However, these special techniques are much more challenging to cultivate than ordinary Viscera Cultivation Methods.”

”If I’m not mistaken, the Nine Revolutions True Blood Viscera Method you obtained should be a special Viscera Cultivation Method.”

Both Lin Chen and Li Yueshan agreed with Jia Nanzhu’s judgment. Lin Chen agreed because he had memorized the core principles of the Nine Revolutions True Blood Viscera Method, which was indeed different from what Instructor Jia described.

”The reward from Martial Arts Mountain is certainly not an ordinary technique, that’s beyond doubt, it must be a technique suitable for you, so go back and rest for now.”

Li Yueshan said with a gentle smile. Lin Chen understood in his heart that the two elders had matters to discuss.

”The disciple will take his leave first.”

After Lin Chen left, Li Yueshan looked at Jia Nanzhu: ”With his name inscribed on Martial Arts Mountain, there should be no controversy in Lin Chen being recognized as the Jiangnan Dao Martial Path Student Model, right?”

If earlier, there might have been disputes over Lin Chen being selected as the Jiangnan Dao Martial Path Student Model, now that Lin Chen’s name is inscribed on Martial Arts Mountain, not bestowing this title on him would indeed cause controversy.

The Martial Path Student Model emerges only once every few years, but a genius leaving his name on Martial Arts Mountain is an occurrence that may take decades.

For Jiangnan Dao Opening Acupoints students, the last one to have their name inscribed on Martial Arts Mountain was thirty-four years ago, and that too lasted only three years before being replaced by another genius from a different path.

Opening Acupoints Realm has twenty-four spots, twenty-four geniuses, none currently from Jiangnan Dao.

Based on this alone, Lin Chen being selected as the Jiangnan Dao Student Model is indisputable.

Jia Nanzhu squinted slightly, understanding the implication of Elder Lord Li’s words. With Lin Chen’s successful inscription on Martial Arts Mountain, the contention between Li Zhe and Lin Chen for the title of Jiangnan Dao Student Model had been resolved, unless Li Zhe could also inscribe his name there.

”Lord Shao should have detailed plans regarding this matter,”

seeing Li Yueshan furrow his brow, Jia Nanzhu explained: ”Lord Li, it’s currently a time of trouble; people only know that a genius young man from Jiangnan Dao has left a name on Martial Arts Mountain, but they don’t know who. Once Lin Chen is announced as the Jiangnan Dao Student Model, it would mean telling that the one who left a name on Martial Arts Mountain is Lin Chen.”

Jia Nanzhu gave an explanation. Elder Li, now retired, did not have as timely information sources as he did. If the Military Affairs Hall were to announce Lin Chen as the Jiangnan Dao Student Model now, everyone would know that the one who left a name on Martial Arts Mountain is Lin Chen.

”Is it really that serious?”

Li Yueshan hadn’t expected the situation to be so grave. In his view, even if the Northern Garrison Marquis passed away, Liang wouldn’t fall into chaos.

In all these years, the most turbulent time for Liang was when the Grand Ancestor Emperor died, causing all kinds of demons and fiends to emerge. But even so, Liang managed to endure, and all those who surfaced were slaughtered with thunderous means.

”There are always remnants who stir restlessly.” Jia Nanzhu’s eyes held a cold gleam: ”Liang is approaching three hundred years; there are always some who think Liang’s destiny is waning, starting to have ideas.”

Three hundred years are enough for a potential Martial Artist to establish a family.

The human heart is capable of change!

”I understand now,”

Li Yueshan nodded: ”Just make sure you handle this matter effectively.”

”Inscribing a name on Martial Arts Mountain, such an honorable matter, one that boosts the spirit of Jiangnan Dao’s Martial Path students, will not be kept secret for too long by the Military Affairs Hall. It will be made public after the hidden threats are cleared.”

In fact, recently, various prefectures in Jiangnan Dao have already started to take action but are still operating in secret to avoid alerting the enemy.

...

...

Next day!

A public document from Jiangnan Dao Martial Affairs Hall was sent to the various prefecture cities, county cities...

The Martial Path circles in Jiangnan Dao were instantly abuzz.

”What is Martial Arts Mountain?”

This is the face of a Martial Artist who does not know Martial Arts Mountain, filled with questions.

The reason for their shock lay in the wording used to describe Lin Chen in the public document from the Military Affairs Hall.

[Jiangnan Martial Affairs Hall Decree]

[Main recipients:]

Martial Affairs Department of each prefecture, Special Training Ground, Martial Affairs Office, registered students.]

[Subject:]

Proclaiming the achievements of Lin Chen, who inscribed his name on Martial Arts Mountain, inspiring the Martial Artists of Jiangnan to strive diligently.]

[Now, Lin Chen, a student from Jingshui Martial Arts Hall, Mountain Suppressing Martial Arts Hall, and Gale Martial Arts Hall in Poyang County, Raozhou Prefecture, has left his name on Martial Arts Mountain, becoming the first young figure in nearly thirty years of Jiangnan Dao to have his name on the monument.]
