In the following few days, Yan Liqiang, who was in the craftsman camp, did not show any abnormality.
For three meals a day, he did not ask the maids in the Artisan Camp to bring him meals. Instead, he appeared in the cafeteria like other people in the Artisan Camp and ate together. He ate whatever others ate. While eating, he chatted with others and after eating, he casually went to various courtyards to see the process of the craftsmen forging and making various weapons and asked the craftsmen for advice. Occasionally, he would go to the courtyards where the soldiers lived to watch the soldiers training.
Yan Liqiang was polite to others and did not show off his status as the camp supervisor's nephew. He called everyone uncle, aunt, and brother all day long, and treated even ordinary craftsmen and servants in the craftsman camp with courtesy. He was friendly and easy-going, and also gave people enough respect. Under such circumstances, in just a few days, Yan Liqiang became familiar with everyone in the craftsman camp and became one of them. Wherever he went, he met smiling faces.
Qian Su paid some attention to Yan Liqiang in the first two days, but when he found that Yan Liqiang was as comfortable and at ease in the Craftsmen's Camp as he was at home, he stopped paying attention to him. Yan Liqiang couldn't cause any trouble in the Craftsmen's Camp anyway, so he just let him be. Qian Su himself often went to Huanglong County, and he was often not seen for a whole day, and sometimes he even did not return home at night. Everyone in the Craftsmen's Camp knew that Qian Yingjian was having an affair again.
After getting acquainted with the people in the Artisan Camp in just a few days, no one paid attention to what Yan Liqiang was doing in the camp. Everyone felt that Yan Liqiang was not the kind of person who was ignorant and loved to cause trouble, and he was also Qian Su's nephew. In this case, naturally no one would interfere or pay attention to what Yan Liqiang was doing. Yan Liqiang often ran to the mountains every day, which was also understood as the mentality of a young man. No one cared. As long as Yan Liqiang did not set fire to the whole mountain, it was fine.
Of course, all this is just on the surface, and in fact, Yan Liqiang's life in the Artisan Camp these days is quite different. Others see Yan Liqiang wandering around in the Artisan Camp, but Yan Liqiang has not relaxed his practice at all.
The painful experience of being knocked off the ring by Hong Tao and the fact that he had to flee to Huanglong County made Yan Liqiang's heart tense all the time. He did not relax at all, but began to practice even harder.
The official national martial arts county examination will be held in two months. Although he failed the preliminary examination, he is still qualified to take part in the official examination because of his outstanding performance in Liuhe Town in the past. Even if there is no threat from the Hong family, in order to get a good ranking in this national martial arts examination, Yan Liqiang will also strive forward, because this is not only related to his personal future, but also embodies his father's ardent expectations for him over the past ten years.
Among the training courses that Yan Liqiang had previously practiced, there was no course called "Illustrated Explanation of the Internal Power of Yi Jin and Xi Sui". But now, after discovering the power of the exercises recorded in "Illustrated Explanation of the Internal Power of Yi Jin and Xi Sui", Yan Liqiang made practicing "Illustrated Explanation of the Internal Power of Yi Jin and Xi Sui" his main daily training course.
Every day, Yan Liqiang got up before dawn and began to practice "The Illustrations and Explanations of the Internal Power of Yi Jin Xi Sui" in the yard. It took about two hours to practice "The Illustrations and Explanations of the Internal Power of Yi Jin Xi Sui". After practicing it once, Yan Liqiang would practice the Tiger Roaring Chain Fist several times. It was just time for breakfast in the Artisan Camp, so he would go to have breakfast.
After breakfast, he would stroll around the craftsmen's camp for a while, and then he would go up the mountain to continue practicing "The Illustrations and Explanations of the Internal Power of Yi Jin Xi Sui" on the mountain. This time, he could complete the practice of "The Illustrations and Explanations of the Internal Power of Yi Jin Xi Sui" twice before lunch.
After lunch, he took the opportunity to take a nap and read a book, then returned to his attic. He could practice "Illustrated Explanation of Yi Jin Xi Sui Nei Gong" two or three times before dinner.
After dinner, he would stay with the people from the craftsmen's camp for a little longer, and then he would return to the courtyard and begin to concentrate on practicing horse stance, laying the foundation for becoming a warrior, and he would continue practicing until bedtime.
In this way, Yan Liqiang spent almost ten hours a day in the craftsmen's camp, practicing "Illustrated Explanation of the Internal Power of Yi Jin Xi Sui" five or six times.
Yan Liqiang didn't dare tell anyone the secret of "Illustrated Explanation of the Internal Power of Yi Jin Xi Sui" because the effect of this book was too terrifying. As the saying goes, it is a crime to possess a treasure. Once it is leaked, Yan Liqiang knew that he had no ability to keep the secret, and he was afraid that the people around him would be implicated.
With daily practice, Yan Liqiang slowly discovered that almost every time he practiced "Illustrated Explanation of the Internal Power of Yi Jin Xi Sui", he could feel his body becoming more and more energetic. It was as if he had opened a treasure house in his body, and the endless energy was like a spring gushing out from the ground, constantly bubbling out of his body.
On the third day after he started to formally practice this technique, Yan Liqiang found that for the first time he did not feel sleepy when he got up in the morning to practice martial arts.
Although Yan Liqiang has developed the habit of getting up around five in the morning to practice martial arts, as a fourteen-year-old boy who is still growing, to be honest, from the time he started practicing martial arts to now, he still feels a little sleepy when he gets up at this time every morning. The warm bed still has a huge attraction to him. Getting up at this time every day is not a pleasant thing. The reason why he can insist on getting up at this time every day is that he relies on his own will and the habit he developed under his father's long-term supervision. He must grit his teeth to get himself up, and then quickly get his body excited and into the state through washing and exercise.
But this time, on the third day of Yan Liqiang's formal practice of "Illustrated Explanation of Yi Jin Xi Sui Nei Gong", when his biological clock woke him up at that time, Yan Liqiang felt that he was no longer sleepy. Instead, he was filled with vigorous energy and a clear mind. The warm bed instantly lost all appeal to him.
Then, in just a few days, Yan Liqiang discovered that a series of changes began to occur in himself.
First of all, the quality of sleep has improved, I fall asleep faster, and I no longer dream during sleep. I feel very comfortable every time I sleep.
Secondly, Yan Liqiang found that his appetite was slowly increasing. His appetite was greatly increased, and everything he ate seemed particularly delicious. Take lunch and dinner for example. If he used to eat only three bowls per meal, in just a few days, his appetite increased by 30% to four bowls, and there was even a trend of increasing...
Finally, the most obvious change is that Yan Liqiang found that all aspects of his physical qualities were improving rapidly, especially his overall strength, which seemed to be increasing every day. The best way to reflect this change was when he was practicing boxing and horse stance every day, especially horse stance.
Before this injury, Yan Liqiang had practiced horse stance for many years. Each time he could hold on to horse stance for more than an hour, his body would start to shake like a sieve. After he started practicing the "Illustrated Explanation of Yi Jin Xi Sui Nei Gong", from the fourth day, Yan Liqiang found that the time he could hold on to horse stance seemed to be increasing. It was not obvious at the beginning, but after two days, Yan Liqiang found that it was getting easier and easier for him to hold on to horse stance each time, and the time he could hold on to horse stance was obviously getting longer, increasing day by day. This was originally the most difficult basic skill, but slowly, it seemed to become easier. In just a few days, the time he could hold on to horse stance went from more than an hour to two hours, doubling in an instant...
