The road to immortality for a hundred generations

Chapter 82 Branch Line (Additional Update)
Three days later, Yangdan Zhang Hu and others got on the carriage, and after more than half a month, they finally arrived at Cangping County.

What they didn't expect was that the elimination system here was only for foreign martial artists.

Similarly, after three months, ten people per hundred people were left behind, and the rest were sent back to the county.

Those internal warriors can still practice peacefully in the county for three months, and then go to the imperial city.

"Ah? Huzi, this is another ten-to-one ratio. After all, in the end, we promoted external martial artists will be fewer than those internal martial artists."

After hearing the rules, Yang Dan was stunned.

Only forty external martial arts practitioners came to Mangshan County during this trip. If ten are kept as one, then there would only be four left. However, there were a total of 17 internal martial arts practitioners traveling with them, three more than the external martial arts practitioners. More than twice that.

"We are not qualified for internal training, so we train outside. If we want to stay, it will definitely be more cruel than internal training."

Li Hu disagreed, "Those internal martial arts practitioners can be said to be first-class, but we are second-class. There is no reason that it would be easier to select second-class ones."

"That's true, but I was at the bottom of the Mangshan County Examination. I will definitely be in doubt in this County Examination."

Yangdan sighed, patted Huzi on the shoulder and said, "Huzi, you are different. You are the number one in our Mangshan County. You will definitely pass this selection. If you become prosperous in the future, don't forget Give me a try."

"Well, I will."

Li Hu nodded heavily.

The old beggar told him that every kindness given by a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water.

He thinks it makes sense.

Yang Dan has helped him a lot, and when he becomes a high official in the future, he will definitely repay Yang Dan.

Three months later, Li Hu passed the selection with the second highest score in Cangping County. The first place was a kid from a rich family.

The government provides food and accommodation, and medicinal materials to assist in cultivation.

But the rich kids can take a break and buy extra medicinal materials for external refining.

In addition, the opponent has not lacked nutrition since he was a child, and his physique is far superior to his peers, so he has a head start on Li Hu.

Sheep Egg was indeed defeated as expected.

On the day of separation, Yangdan wiped away his tears and said with a hint of sobs: "Huzi, take care of yourself all the way. Don't forget me when you get rich!"

"Well, I will."

Huzi still nodded solemnly and watched the other party leave Cangping County in a carriage.

A few days later, Huzi took a convoy from Cangping County and headed to Jiujiang County, one of the three major counties.

During this trip, Cang Pingjun selected a total of 310 internal martial arts practitioners and 79 external martial arts practitioners.

In Jiujiang County, there is another screening, and the same is true for ten.

Fortunately, due to his natural supernatural power, Hu Zi was not too hungry during those years when he was a beggar, and his body was not too weak. After more than half a year of supplements, he was almost full.

Therefore, three months later, Huzi was still promoted smoothly.

However, what puzzled Huzi was that none of the internal martial artists who passed the selection were still eliminated. Following them, the promoted external martial artists rushed towards the imperial city in a mighty manner.

A month later, all the warriors who passed the selection came to the imperial city.

According to statistics, the number of internal martial arts practitioners selected this time is 150, while the number of external martial arts practitioners is [-].

"Master Immortal, are you satisfied with the number of warriors selected this time?"

In the palace, on the dragon chair in the center of the palace, Emperor Wei looked at the demon cultivator next to him who was counting people and asked.

"There are a few internal martial arts practitioners, but there are a lot of external martial arts practitioners."

Wei Yangzi shook his head, "I only need twenty external warriors. The rest can be divided among my five disciples. If there is any left, you can use it yourself. Recruit some more internal warriors. The more the better. "

The inner martial artist is what he uses to refine human medicine. These can not only be used as payment to the Xingyue Palace and the royal family, but he can also use them himself. Naturally, the more the better.

As for the external martial artist, he planned to cultivate them into zombies, but his energy was limited, and he already had twenty weapons, including the spare ones.

As for why Wei Yangzi has to cultivate external martial arts warriors even though there are innate corpses for internal training that are not used, it is because after the warriors are transformed into zombies, the only strength they can use during life is their physical strength, and it is impossible to refine a warrior who can use real martial arts. An angry zombie, or he couldn't do it with his strength.

However, the strength of internal martial arts practitioners mainly depends on the true energy. Although the physical body has been polished and improved a lot by the true energy, it is far behind compared to external martial arts practitioners.

During the first generation of Xu Mansion, Lu Shi, who was second-rate in external training, forced Xu Chen, who was first-rate in internal training, to use his internal strength.

You must know that even if the internal martial artist does not actively use the internal force, the internal force will operate on its own and support the physical body.

Xu Chen's combat experience was indeed disappointing at first, but it was enough to prove that a second-rate warrior with external training could compete with a first-rate warrior with half-stimulated internal strength.

If we just talk about physical strength, a first-rate internal martial artist may only be able to compete with a third-rate external practitioner.

And this is still counting ordinary external martial arts practitioners.If this external martial artist is still born with divine power, the refined zombie will only be one step closer.

However, since the physical strength of inner-refined warriors also increases significantly after they enter Xiantian, the physical strength of second-rate externally-refined warriors is not as strong as that of internal-refined warriors.

But the first-class external training is comparable to, or even stronger than.

The Zhengzhi refined by a first-rate external refining person is at worst comparable to the late-stage innate stage of internal refining. If it is the peak level of external refining, it will exceed the innate peak of internal refining and is only weaker than a grandmaster.

It's just a pity that it is too difficult for external martial artists to break through.

The reason why everyone in the Wei Dynasty believes that practicing foreign practice is easy is because everyone can practice it, and there is no threshold in the early stage.

Anyone who has no background and wants to practice martial arts can only practice outside. The more people who practice outside, the base number will increase, and the number of successful people will naturally increase.

Different from external training, internal training requires more than just practicing the exercises. Even if you finally get a copy, if you are trying to figure it out on your own without anyone's guidance, the early stage of Qi will feel ethereal, like an illusion, and the training process can only be described as suffering.

Moreover, the process of internal refining involves refining and transforming qi, which requires eating well before it can be transformed into essence. This makes many poor people have no choice but to give up.

In addition, if there is someone to guide the internal training, then the other party will definitely check the qualifications first. If the qualifications are poor, they will be advised to give up this path.

The skills, guides, and qualifications required for internal training have stopped a lot of people at the door. As a result, the base number of internal training warriors is much less than the base number of external training warriors. This makes most people think that internal training is more important. Disaster.

If the threshold for external training is also raised, for example, only those with thick bones, strong qi and blood, and natural supernatural powers can practice, then the number of external practitioners will drop to the bottom in an instant.

If there are people to guide both internal and external training, and basic resources can be guaranteed, then external training can be more than ten times more difficult than internal training.

Internal training is the method of practice suitable for fighting with the base number.

External practitioners should follow the elite route of cultivation, which can only be practiced by those with thick bones, strong qi and blood, and natural supernatural powers.

But unfortunately, when resources are insufficient, the opposite is true.

Wei Yangzi does not intend to use these internal and external martial artists currently recruited.

The batch of warriors harvested in Xingyue Palace were enough for him to use for a long time.

But he has to plan for the future, a few years from now, a dozen years from now.

Compared to the internal martial arts practitioners who use them to make human medicine, Wei Yangzi actually pays more attention to the external martial arts practitioners.

If an external refining innate could be cultivated, the refining Cheng Zhi would probably be enough for him to compete with the strength of the mid-stage Qi refining stage.

When he thought of this, Wei Yangzi couldn't help but lick his lips.

He was a little impatient.

　Little easter egg: External martial arts practitioners are similar to body-refining immortal cultivators, that’s why it’s so difficult to advance.

　　Internal martial artists are similar to ordinary immortal cultivators, so it is easier.

　　Comparison of strength between the two sides (note! The following comparison is a comparison of combat power, not realm!):
　　The second-rate external refining is weaker than the early stage of physical refining.

　　The first-class external training is weaker than the middle stage of physical training, but stronger than the early stage of physical training.

　　External training is inherently weaker than the late stage of physical training, but stronger than the middle stage of physical training.

　　But because the body-refining immortal cultivators are invincible at the same level, Wei Yangzi feels that after having the innate refining skills of external training, his combat power can be comparable to that of the late-stage Qi training.

　　The comparison between inner martial practitioners and immortal cultivators is as follows:

　　Internal refining is equal to the middle stage of qi training.

　　Internal refining master is equal to the later stage of qi training
　　Refining the inner elixir internally is equivalent to building the foundation.

　　In addition, the combat power of external martial arts practitioners and internal martial arts practitioners is as follows.

　　The third rate of external refining is stronger than the third rate of internal refining, but weaker than the second rate of internal refining.

　　The second rate of external refining is stronger than the second rate of internal refining, but weaker than the first rate of internal refining.

　　The first-class external refining is stronger than the first-class internal refining, but weaker than the innate internal refining.

　　External refining is innately stronger than internal refining, but weaker than internal refining master.

　　Physical strength is as follows
　　A third-rate external refining is approximately equal to a first-rate internal refining.

　　The second-rate external refining is slightly weaker than the innate internal refining.

　　The first-class external refining is slightly weaker than the master, but stronger than the innate peak internal refining.

　　I have checked the above combat power comparison several times, and it basically makes sense logically. If there is anything wrong, you can point it out.
