Chapter 24: Military Formation
The next day, Zhou Tieyi got up early and practiced boxing, feeling refreshed. Only when he was in good health could he enjoy life better.

In the training ground, when his Qi and blood were as vigorous as possible, Zhou Tieyi lay on his side like a tiger, practicing the internal cultivation method [Six Secrets of Breathing]. The vigorous Qi and blood followed his strange breathing, attracting the ancestral Qi between heaven and earth and falling into the Qi sea in his Dantian.

However, the ancestral qi that falls into the Dantian Qi Sea does not only have benefits. If one inhales too much Taiyin cold air, it will make one gloomy and withdrawn. If one inhales too much Taiyang hot air, it will make one arrogant and irritable.

Taiyin and Taiyang are the two largest sources of ancestral qi between heaven and earth. In addition, there are ancestral qi with many attributes such as the five elements, life and death, sky purity, earth turbidity, etc. The content of these ancestral qi is different in different places and times, and it will also have a subtle influence on people's character and body.

Therefore, the top sects of cultivation like to occupy famous mountains and rivers, where the ancestral qi is in harmony of yin and yang, and there is less dead air and resentment, making it most suitable for cultivation.

The Zhou Mansion is also a good place for cultivation. It is at the foot of Tianjing, the seat of the White Tiger. The endless ancestral qi of heaven and earth falls into the White Tiger City, and is first washed by the national destiny condensed by the emperor, becoming gentle and nourishing.

Then, the military formations arranged in this military camp can gather the scattered spirit and energy of the soldiers to form a military soul, and then refine the ancestral qi again to become the most suitable state for the practitioners of [Record of Supervising Soldiers and Killing Demons] to absorb.

Of course, nothing is perfect. Even so, absorbing the ancestral energy of this place will gradually make people become aggressive.

Or, it can be said that bellicosity is the drawback of the unified practice of military tactics.

Not to mention the ninth level of martial arts, the probability of ordinary military practitioners going crazy is higher than that of other practitioners. Even if they become the top three levels, they often die from fighting.

At this time, the sun and the spring are at their most vigorous, which can greatly reconcile the shortcomings of the military practice method, so Zhou Tieyi plans to complete the ninth level of practice before June, cultivate a martial arts god, and break through to the eighth level.

With a martial arts god sitting in your mind, you can better control your body.

After a round of practice, Zhou Tieyi went to the military camp bathhouse to wash up.

After being transformed by the Blood God, his body became powerful in Qi and blood, and he was able to mobilize more ancestral Qi of heaven and earth with his abundant Qi and blood.

However, correspondingly, his Dantian Qi Sea was also wider than that of ordinary people. His mother checked it and concluded that it was ten times wider.

Therefore, I don't have an advantage in practicing this kind of slow-paced kung fu.

Moreover, he could not just focus on cultivation. As the undercurrents in Beijing were surging, the Zhou family was the first to be hit. An eighth-rank martial artist was not as useful as the general flag of the God-Slaying Division.

While thinking, Zhou Tieyi put on his clothes and walked to the training ground.

This is the time for Zhou Tiege and his personal guards to train.

There were thirty-one people in total, and every punch they threw was as if by one person. With their spirit, energy and soul completely united, they were like a gigantic military god standing in the military camp.

At this time, as long as one cannot integrate into their military formation, his practice will be impacted by their spirit, energy and spirit, even Zhou Tieyi who is also practicing [Record of Supervising Soldiers and Killing Demons] cannot do this.

When the guards' qi and blood reached their peak, they gathered at the top of their heads and formed a qi and blood canopy in the nine-zhang air. But this was not the limit. A bit of purple thunder surged from Zhou Tiege's body and fell into the canopy, stirring the qi and blood. After a while, a three-zhang long thunder qi and blood tiger was formed.

Lei Hu lay in mid-air and breathed in and out. The amount of ancestral Qi of heaven and earth that he could absorb was more than a hundred times that of Zhou Tieyi. After Lei Hu's breathing reached its extreme, thirty kinds of tiger beasts condensed above the sea of ​​Qi and blood.

With the help of Lei Hu, they actually made the ancestral qi of heaven and earth, which is usually invisible to the naked eye, form a huge ten-acre funnel-shaped cyclone, which continuously hung down from the sky and fell into the sea of ​​qi and blood clouds.

This is the most powerful part of the military secrets: the military formation!
Zhou Tieyi's eyes were filled with envy. If he also had a military formation, his cultivation speed would skyrocket.

Unfortunately, military formation cannot be achieved overnight. Even if Zhou Tieyi, Zhou Tiege’s younger brother, wants to join the army, he needs to fully integrate into the training for at least half a year before he can achieve unity of spirit, energy and concentration.

I do have a way to do it, but I still need to try it to see if it works.

While Zhou Tieyi was thinking, Ah Da, who was Zhou Tieyi's personal guard, saw Zhou Tieyi's envy and said with a smile, "Young Master is taking a break during this period. Why don't you go and ask him for advice on military training so that you can train your own troops."

Zhou Tieyi saw through Ada's thoughts at a glance. As a close confidant who grew up with him, if he formed his own personal guard, then Ada would most likely become the chief of the personal guard. However, Zhou Tieyi was not disgusted by Ada's ambition. After all, others had risked their lives for him and were not bad in ability. He patted Ada on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the position of chief of the personal guard is yours. I will select troops from the barracks this afternoon."

"Thank you for your cultivation, Master."

Ah Da said with a fist clasped excitedly.

Zhou Tieyi waited until Zhou Tiege finished breathing and washing up, then walked to an apricot tree next to the tent and broke off a branch of apricot flowers.

In the tent, there was a pile of official documents on Zhou Tiege's left. These were the things he needed to learn before taking up the post of deputy commander-in-chief of the Yulin Guard. They included not only the rules and regulations of the Yulin Guard, but also information about the geniuses within the guard.

Strictly speaking, the Yulin Guard cannot be considered a normal army.

The Yulin Guard had 6,000 men, divided into two camps, the left and the right, each with a deputy commander-in-chief, and they were not subordinate to each other.

Above the deputy governor-general was the General of the Imperial Guards, who also served as an attendant in the Imperial Study, and was of the fifth rank, but his position was extremely important.

The Imperial Guard is the emperor's guard of honor. The most outstanding young people in the entire Daxia have the opportunity to be added to the Imperial Guard.

Whoever controls the Yulin Guards will control the sources and destinations of these most outstanding young people.

But after reading the official documents for a while, Zhou Tiege became impatient again and used his palms to gesture in front of the desk to imitate the divine intention he had used when he had tested Monk Shenxiu yesterday.

The more he fought, the more difficult he felt Monk Shenxiu was, but it also aroused his competitive spirit, and for a moment he didn't even notice Zhou Tieyi coming in.

"Brother, are you still thinking about the moves that Shenxiu Zeibal used yesterday?"

Zhou Tieyi asked with a smile.

Zhou Tiege raised his head, showing a helpless look, "I told you not to call me thief bald."

Then he put down his palm, "By the way, what do you want to see me about?"

Zhou Tieyi placed the apricot branch in front of Zhou Tiege and said, "It's nothing, but a master asked me to ask you, is this apricot branch on the tree or in your heart?"

"Which expert is here to fight again?"

Zhou Tiege didn't care at first and took the apricot branch from Zhou Tieyi. The apricot flowers were white and the stamens were yellow, which was very pleasing to the eye.

He had excellent eyesight and looking out the window, he could even see the place where Zhou Tieyi had just broken the apricot branch.

On the trees, of course.

Zhou Tiege wanted to answer casually.

But when I turned around, I realized that the apricot branch I saw was no longer on the tree.

Now it has been broken from the tree and has fallen into my heart.

He was extremely talented and understood things quickly. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he examined his own Dantian Qi Sea. He saw that around a majestic White Tiger Guarding Soldiers statue, there was a touch of gentle Buddha nature that had unknowingly appeared. The Buddha nature was hazy, as if there was nothing. However, upon careful examination, one could see flying palm seals and all kinds of wonderful appearances, which were beyond words.
