Lu Wen quickly finished reading the newspaper, comparing the information he had obtained with the information downloaded from the main world's internet. Most of the content was similar, but there were also differences.
This world had ghosts and Taoist priests, and supernatural powers were real.
Although it was in the "End of Dharma Period," supernatural powers were not obvious, but supernatural energy was present in the environment.
Although the supernatural environment had become worse, humans' desire to pursue strength would never change.
As Taoist magic gradually declined, some people explored the mysteries of the human body, developing the lineage of Internal Martial Arts, comprehending the profound meanings of all things in heaven and earth, and developing various techniques for refining the body.
Their dependence on the supernatural environment was not high, and even in the End of Dharma Period, it would not affect their cultivation.
But after all, the "End of Dharma Period" had arrived, and it was difficult to achieve the power of returning to oneself. The strength of one person was too insignificant in the face of national affairs.
Plus, with the development and advancement of firearms, ten years of cultivation couldn't match a single bullet.
The country's fate rests on every individual.
Many martial artists also had the ambition to save the country, but their individual power was too small. Eventually, some people broke free from the shackles of thought and published the originally single-generation, secret Internal Martial Arts techniques.
They hoped that everyone could cultivate, strengthening themselves, their race, and their country.
But it was just wishful thinking.
Not to mention talent, aptitude, and bone structure, but martial arts require ample nutritional supply. In this era of warlords, few people could meet these conditions.
Like the ordinary people Lu Wen had seen on the streets before, they were numb and rigid, their faces pale, and they were already struggling to survive.
Didn't they know that reading and martial arts were a way out?
Everyone understood this, but they were already struggling to survive. Where could they find the time for reading and martial arts?
However, for Lu Wen, these published Internal Martial Arts manuals were the first harvest in this world.
The martial arts manuals in the bookstore were the four books written by Sun Lu Tang: "Taijiquan Studies," "Xingyiquan Studies," "Baguazhang Studies," and "True Explanation of Fist Intent."
Lu Wen bought these somewhat damp books with money.
Without wandering outside, Lu Wen returned home and began browsing and studying the martial arts manuals he had obtained.
Regarding the potential foreign crossovers in this world, Lu Wen already had an idea.
Other crossovers were still ordinary people, while Lu Wen possessed the capabilities of mobile phones and computers through unlimited synthesis.
Since he couldn't prevent other crossovers from causing trouble, Lu Wen decided to turn the tables and become the biggest mastermind behind the scenes.
Lu Wen also considered whether to pretend to be a prophet who could foresee the future and tell Jiu Shu and the Maoshan Sect about the Divine State's catastrophe fifteen years later.
Would Jiu Shu and the Maoshan Sect trust him?
As a reputable sect, even if there were corrupt members, they were a minority.
Everyone, through various film and television images, had a favorable impression of both.
Lu Wen also believed that Jiu Shu and the Maoshan Sect would understand the seriousness of the matter and would not have any evil thoughts about him, the prophet who could foresee the future.
Moreover, after completing the survival mission, Lu Wen could return to the main world at any time.
But placing all hope on others was foolish.
Lu Wen wouldn't completely trust anyone. Mountains crumble, rivers dry up, everything in the world can only be relied on oneself.
Time passed, and Lu Wen secretly paid attention to what was happening in the small Renjia Town.
While continuously synthesizing and strengthening the volume of his personal space, he was also constantly learning and practicing Internal Martial Arts.
The Internal Martial Arts techniques in this world were different from those in the main world. They were displayed in his personal attribute panel as green-ranked skills.
Although there were only three realms: Mingjin, Anjin, and Huajin.
But Mingjin was sturdy and unyielding, Anjin was as sharp as a needle piercing through, and Huajin could achieve the legendary realm of "not a feather can land, not a fly can alight."
In the past few days, Lu Wen had been mobilizing his brain, running at high power to achieve faster thinking speeds.
But consuming ordinary food couldn't sustain the consumption of his body and brain when practicing Internal Martial Arts.
He could only practice under the blazing sun, using his solar power generation ability to charge the power bar to sustain the enormous consumption.
But ten hours of sunbathing could only sustain high-power cultivation for one or two hours.
After synthesizing a mobile phone and computer, Lu Wen could consume ordinary food, digest it, and then charge the power bar. His control over his body had reached the pinnacle.
And Internal Martial Arts advocated constantly controlling oneself, unlocking the potential of one's body.
Therefore, in just a few days, Lu Wen had reached the Anjin realm in Internal Martial Arts.
With his powerful thinking ability, he had also achieved some success in the practice, fighting, and performance of Taijiquan, Xingyiquan, and Baguazhang, and could use them proficiently.
These were only fist skills. Although Lu Wen's physical attributes had also increased in the past few days, they had only grown by a dozen pounds in strength.
Although his physical attributes hadn't increased much, his combat strength had greatly enhanced.
When Lu Wen was an ordinary person, his punches could only deliver 40-50% of his physical strength.
After synthesizing a mobile phone and computer, he could fully utilize his physical attributes, delivering a punch with 100% of his strength.
After practicing Internal Martial Arts, through the combination of footwork and fist techniques, he could even deliver a punch with 120% of his strength.
With the stamina bar and power bar full, he could easily deliver 5-6 Anjin strikes, each capable of killing an ordinary person with a single blow.
The sun rose and the moon set, ushering in a new day.
Renjia Town was livelier today. Everyone knew that Ren Fa, the master of the Ren family, had invited the Taoist priest Jiu Shu to help exhumed Ren Lao Tai Ye's coffin and move it to a new burial site.
In this era with no entertainment, this event could keep everyone excited and discussing it for half a month.
Lu Wen had always been paying attention to the development of the plot. Now, the other crossovers who knew the plot were all focused on Jiu Shu and Ren Fa of the Ren family.
However, Lu Wen quietly went to the Yi Zhuang that he had already scouted.
With a light leap, he jumped over the wall and entered, walking straight towards the side room. He pushed open the door and saw dozens of coffins lying horizontally on benches.
But Lu Wen ignored these coffins. He looked around and quickly found dozens of earthenware jars that were being worshipped.
"I remember these were the evil spirits that Jiu Shu captured and sealed in earthenware jars. They couldn't eliminate their resentment in a short time, so he sealed and worshipped these evil spirits."
"As time passed, they would exhaust their resentment. Sending them into reincarnation would be a virtuous deed." Lu Wen recalled while reaching out to pick up an earthenware jar.
His personal space had been synthesized and strengthened many times in the past few days, expanding dozens of times to a volume of two cubic decimeters. Lu Wen took out a black flag from it.
The flag was 30 centimeters long and 20 centimeters wide.
He had already synthesized it with his personal space beforehand, allowing the flag to connect with his personal space.
This flag was originally a white-ranked ordinary item. The synthesis cost wasn't much, and Lu Wen had completed it in his spare time.
Now, he wanted to synthesize the earthenware jar and the evil spirits inside with this flag, allowing the flag to possess the ability to seal, suppress, and control ghosts.
