Chapter 18 - Outer Forging Technique

　　"We can't stay here for long." 　　Bai Ziyue's heart just tightened as he faintly pondered. 　　This place was close to the center of the battle, so someone was bound to come over to investigate. 　　If it was the government or other people from Qinghe Town that came, it would be fine, although he would inevitably be caught in the whirlpool, at least his life could be saved. But if it comes to be the people of the ghost head fortress ...... Although this is not likely, because in the distance, there are already gradually some sounds coming out, obviously there are people from various forces approaching this side. 　　But he did not dare to bet. 　　There was only one life, and he naturally wanted to take it into his own hands. 　　Walking out of the cave, Bai Ziyue first saw the Ghost Head Walled bandits whose heads were separated. 　　Perhaps it was because he had seen too many slaughterhouse massacres, at this point, when he looked at the other side's corpses again, it was no longer as disgusting as it had been in the beginning. 　　Carefully circling around, a collapsed wall appeared in front of him. 　　He knew that this wall was exactly what Li Xu had crashed through. 　　Suddenly, he quickly stepped forward and picked up a black flattened package from the collapsed wall bricks, from the feel of the touch, it looked like something like books. 　　Obviously, this was exactly what Li Xu had spilled when he crashed and flew just now. 　　Not daring to check it out at this moment, Bai Ziyue carefully put it into the inner side of his clothes and left with a quick step. 　　...... 　　Along the way, Bai Ziyue was careful, the slightest movement could make him jump in fear. 　　Luckily, the journey went smoothly, and Bai Ziyue returned to the Pearl Restaurant. 　　"Xiao Yue." 　　Just as he was about to step through the door, a voice suddenly sounded behind him. 　　Bai Ziyue turned around fiercely, and only then did he see that the one who had called out to him was none other than Uncle Sun Neng Sun, who had been with him earlier. 　　The other party had actually returned unharmed as well. 　　However, thinking about the speed of the other party's running, as well as the other party's early years of experience in the jianghu, to be able to escape from the hands of the Ghost Head Village bandits, it was obvious that his strength was definitely not weak. 　　However, the other party's action of escaping alone at the critical moment, still let him a burst of teeth cold, his heart also understand more, this world, in addition to their own, no one is really dependable. The only way to face everything with ease was to strengthen oneself. 　　"You're just going to go back like this?" 　　Sun Neng looked at Bai Ziyue and said, "Saying that you ran into the people from the Ghost Head Walled City and escaped back? It won't work, once someone asks, trouble will ensue." 　　"Then what should we do?" 　　Bai Ziyue calmed down and realized that what Sun Neng said was right. 　　The matter of the Li family was immensely significant, it was a whirlwind, and once you got involved, you could get caught up in it. 　　His small arms and legs couldn't withstand it at all. 　　Not to mention that in his arms, he was still hiding the package that had fallen from Li Xu's body. 　　He didn't know if the other party had escaped, but the thing in his arms, he never wanted to hand it over easily. 　　"Go back, go to the slaughterhouse normally to get the meat, and anyone who asks just say that they don't know." 　　Sun Neng said directly. 　　"But over there ......" Bai Ziyue was a little hesitant. 　　"At this time, the people of the Ghost Head Walled City have long gone, and everyone else's attention is in the Li family mansion, no one will care about us." 　　Sun Neng interrupted. 　　Hearing this, Bai Ziyue nodded and returned with Sun Neng once more. 　　On the way, Sun Neng didn't ask Bai Ziyue how he escaped, and Bai Ziyue didn't mention that the other party had left himself behind to escape alone, the two of them were sullen all the way, and soon returned to the place where they had put down the crate before. 　　Inside the Li family mansion, at this time the lights are bright, there are some constables and other government people in and out, no one really cares about the two of them. 　　Half an hour later than usual, Bai Ziyue two people pulled pork and beef from the slaughterhouse return. 　　On the way, Sun Neng whispered, "I heard that you like practicing martial arts? Have you gotten started with the Zen Pile yet?" 　　Bai Ziyue froze, he usually practiced martial arts very hard, the entire Pearl Restaurant knew that. 　　With Li Ergou's talkative nature, some of the familiar guests in the restaurant were well aware of it, and would sometimes catch him and ask a few questions teasingly. 　　He was surprised, what did Sun Neng mean by asking this? 　　"Introduced, just introduced." 　　Bai Ziyue said without moving. 　　When the Zen Pile was small, the Fixed Pile would turn into the Living Pile, and when the Zen Pile was large, the Living Pile would turn into the Fixed Pile again. 　　Although the external manifestation was the same as just starting out, not moving at all, the internal was very different, mainly in the word 'lock'. 　　Locking the skin outside the body so that sweat does not come out, locking the blood vessels inside the body so that the blood rages but does not break through the blood vessels, locking the strength inside the body so that it does not escape, more solid and tougher. 　　Therefore, even though Bai Ziyue still practiced diligently and hard every day, no one had noticed that his Zen Pile had become a great success. 　　Of course, this was also related to the fact that he stayed inside the house every time he practiced. 　　"It's only been ten days since the transmission of strength, right? If you were an outer apprentice of our Blazing Sun Gang, this speed would already be enough for you to become an inner apprentice, but it's a pity. 　　How about this, when you have practiced the Zen Pile to a small degree of success, I will pass on a set of sword techniques to you. It's also a kind of compensation for you." 　　Sun Neng sighed and said. 　　"Thank you Uncle Sun." 　　Bai Ziyue's eyes lit up as he thanked him. 　　Even though he knew that this was a kind of compensation from the other party in a guilty state of mind, he was still very excited. 　　From the beginning to the end, he was extremely thirsty for martial arts. 　　Although Soul Energy could accelerate his cultivation, if there was no one to teach him martial arts, he would also be a coquettish woman, and his strength would not be improved. 　　"That's right Uncle Sun, I've often heard people talk about external forging and internal refining, but how is it considered external forging and how is it considered internal refining? If the Zen Pile is a small success, does it count as external forging?" 　　Taking advantage of Sun Neng's interest, Bai Ziyue hurriedly asked. 　　"The Zen Pile is only the most basic type of strength practicing method, not to mention a small success, even if it is a great success or a complete success, it is not counted as an external forging level. 　　External forging is practicing the body, sinews, bones and skin. 　　The strength practiced by the Zen Pile is only the foundation for practicing the external forging technique. 　　As for internal refining, it's still too far away from you, don't be overly ambitious." 　　Sun Neng said indifferently. 　　"Then what are the external forging techniques? How can I cultivate it?" 　　Bai Ziyue asked curiously. 　　"The external forging gong method, requires you to vigorously activate your strength and scurry like a mouse under your skin, like this ......" 　　Perhaps in a state of guilt, he wasn't stingy in imparting to Bai Ziyue, and in order to demonstrate, he even stretched out his arm. 　　Bai Ziyue gazed over and saw that on the skin of Sun Neng's arm, a 'bulging bag' half a finger high or low suddenly bulged out violently, the 'bulging bag' moved back and forth under Sun Neng's control, it really looked like there was a little mouse burrowing around in it. 　　"Generally speaking, as long as you have practiced the Zen Pile to a great accomplishment, you will also be able to do this. Naturally, you will also be able to start practicing external forging techniques." 　　Speaking here, Sun Neng paused and continued, "Basic strength practicing techniques such as the Zen Pile are not said to be all over the streets outside, but they are not difficult to learn. 　　However, external forging techniques are rare to find in the entire Qinghe Town. 　　For example, the Vajra Locking Jade Technique of our Lieyang Gang, the Iron Cloth Shirt of the Iron Clothes Martial Arts Center, and the Six or Seven Vertical and Horizontal Techniques of the Wu Dart Head are all external forging techniques that can go straight to the peak of external forging. 　　As for some external forging techniques that cannot go straight to the peak of external forging, there's not much use in learning them, so I won't go into him."
