Chapter 49: Opening the Yongquan and Zhichong, Blood and Qi are Greatly Completed
"Master Qin, it's not that easy to catch a spirit fish. Are you talking about Liang Ashui? He hasn't been seen for several months..."
After eating the spiritual fish, Qin Xiong no longer had any interest in ordinary fish. Not only was it very nutritious, it also tasted very delicious.
"When the spirit fish appears, remember to send someone to notify me."
After leaving a few words, Qin Xiong turned and walked towards the teahouse beside the road. He seemed to see Li Yuan out of the corner of his eye. His face was slightly cold, but he still walked into the teahouse.
In the corner, a dark yellow-faced young man raised his hand to invite:
"Brother Qin!"
"Brother Yu!"
Qin Xiong stepped forward and the tea drinkers nearby retreated, not daring to come near. The intimidation of his size was more direct than that of a sword.
"Brother Qin is truly gifted. If you hadn't entered the wrong sect and learned the wrong martial arts, I'm afraid I wouldn't be your opponent."
Yu Zhen exclaimed in admiration.
In this world, there are always some people who are extraordinary, some learn things very quickly, and some have extremely strong physiques. Qin Xiong belongs to the latter, with a strong back and strong waist, which means he has excellent bones.
If he had not changed his martial arts midway, he would not only be strong inside, but also at least be as good as him in tempering his body.
"Qin is just a barely capable person, how dare I compare myself with Brother Yu?"
Qin Xiong sat down, still in a very high position. The tea drinkers nearby had already left. Only the boss, with a bitter face, was there to greet him and serve him tea and pastries.
After a few pleasantries, Yu Zhen raised his cup and said, "Brother Qin, do you know why I want to stay in the weapon forging shop?"
"This……"
Qin Xiong shook his head, feeling doubtful.
Yu Zhen was a martial artist who had accomplished great success in body tempering, and he was much younger than Tang Tong. It was puzzling to him why he stayed in the weapon forging shop.
"To be honest, I came to Gaoliu to find a martial art, a ..."
Yu Zhen lowered his voice:
"A martial art that is at least of intermediate level, or maybe even superior level!"
Intermediate or superior martial arts? !
Qin Xiong subconsciously glanced around and his expression changed.
In the entire Gaoliu County, there is only the Tiger Roaring Knife, a half-intermediate martial art. No one has ever heard of the advanced martial arts.
"Brother Yu, this is not the place to talk."
Even though he knew that Yu Zhen might have ulterior motives, Qin Xiong was still tempted. Not to mention top-notch martial arts, even if it was just middle-level martial arts, its value would be higher than the entire weapon forging shop!
"it is good!"
Yu Zhen smiled and nodded, but his heart was filled with emotions.
He chased the murderer for thousands of miles, which took him more than a year, and he was even seriously injured by Qiu Long, but in the end he only saw a corpse and a pool of mud mixed with brains!
How could he accept this? !
……
……
On the way home, Li Yuan heard funeral music coming from the Chai and Yu gangs.
"Something happened again?"
Li Yuan was slightly startled. It had been six or seven days since he came back, and the gang members and apprentices who had died in Fajiu Mountain had already been buried.
He leaned in closer to inquire and was suddenly shocked. The dead person was actually Chai Gang leader Liu Jin?
"The leader of a gang, he died just like that."
Li Yuan felt a little scared, but he didn't go near. He looked around and found that his second brother was also in the funeral procession. He greeted him from a distance.
So he carried his things back to the alley.
There were a total of six or seven households living in the alley. After he rented the entire courtyard, there were only two neighbors left, each renting a courtyard.
"sister in law?"
Li Yuan pushed the door open and saw his sister-in-law Wang Juan washing clothes instead of going to work.
"It rained a few days ago, and the house was a bit damp. Today it's sunny, so I thought of drying it out. Are you coming back to live here?"
Wang Juan put down her work in a panic and stepped forward to take the things:
"Why buy so much? It's hot, so you can't help but put things away. You kid, you can't control your money after making some money. You have to obey your second brother and marry you a wife to take care of you!"
"Has anyone been here?"
Li Yuan noticed his sister-in-law's panic.
"Well, there's a rogue."
Wang Juan didn't want to say more and went to the corner with the chickens and ducks.
Is it Qin Xiong?
Li Yuan frowned slightly. In the past six months, he also figured out the relationship between Qin Xiong and his family. Before the Li family fell into decline, they had a long-term worker. Qin Xiong was the eldest son of that family. He was admitted to the forging shop because of his outstanding talent, but he seemed to have some different ideas about his sister-in-law...
Li Yuan's heart tightened slightly, but he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he smiled:
"Sister-in-law, don't put it out when it's hot. Do what you can. This may seem like a lot, but it may not be enough for me to eat!"
"Go and have some rest. Your second brother is at a funeral today. I don't know when he will be back!"
Wang Juan tidied the hens skillfully and put all the chicken feathers in a pile, preparing to make a feather duster.
"okay."
Li Yuan didn't go up to cause trouble. He carried his bag and the little field mouse and went upstairs.
The second floor is very spacious. Mainly because after the two families moved out, Li Yuan didn’t buy any tables, chairs or furniture, so there is only one bed in the room.
"If we want to practice hammering, the place is still a little small, and the sound insulation is not enough, which may disturb my brother and sister-in-law. Hmm, why not rent the yard next door as well?"
The wealthy Master Li put the things down, and the little field mouse squeaked.
"I haven't eaten yet, wait a moment!"
After tying the little field mouse to the bed leg, Li Yuan flipped his wrist and a long-handled training hammer appeared out of thin air.
The long-handled melon hammer was borrowed temporarily and was taken away by the warehouse after returning from Fajiu Mountain.
“It feels much worse than the long-handled melon hammer. I’ll follow my master’s lead in a few days. I’ve been eyeing those weapons in the warehouse for a long time.
But, whether it is collecting different types of weapons or upgrading to the rank of Weapon Master, silver is needed..."
Li Yuan calculated his own wealth and felt that he was too poor.
After paying back Fatty Sun, he only had a little over 100 taels of silver left, which was enough to buy medicine and maybe a couple of weapons.
but……
"The third-level weapon control talisman requires a thousand pounds of wrought iron, a hundred ounces of silver, ten ounces of gold, and one ounce of red gold..."
Li Yuan felt a little annoyed.
That's a lot of money.
Wrought iron is twenty times more expensive than pig iron. Ten taels of gold normally cost one hundred and twenty taels of silver. That’s not so bad, but what’s really difficult is pure gold.
As the saying goes, no one is perfect, and no gold is pure.
Red gold is not a circulating currency at all. He has only heard of it from his master Zhang Ben. When forging top-grade weapons, some of it is often added.
"Still poor..."
Life is not easy, Taoist sighed.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yuan finally stood up with the hammer in hand and prepared to fight.
In four days, relying on the powerful medicinal effect of Leopard Embryo Yijin Pills, he mastered all 24 variations of this superior standing meditation.
"Positive twenty-four, negative twenty-four, combined twenty-four, a superior martial art, truly extraordinary."
The sound of muscles and bones rubbing against each other could be heard. Li Yuan could feel his skin and flesh being constantly tensed, and the blood-nourishing pill in his stomach being digested rapidly.
"Keep going!"
Li Yuan spent the entire afternoon standing in a stance, practicing the twenty-four-style military postures over and over again, and ate half a bottle of Blood-Nourishing Pills.
"call!"
"Suck!"
Li Yuan was very tired after taking a long breath. His energy and blood were almost exhausted. When he was about to stop, he felt something in his heart.
"Spring!"
Li Yuan's eyes lit up.
When the exhausted blood and qi were regenerating, he clearly felt a slight warmth on the soles of his feet, which was one of the signs of the great development of qi and blood!
"Leopard Embryo Yijin Pills!"
Without any hesitation, Li Yuan took another pill, and as the heat in his stomach rose, he started to fight.
call!
After practicing one or two moves, gradually, Li Yuan's forehead began to sweat and his clothes became wet. It seemed as if his whole body was sweating. He felt that the blood flowing through his body seemed to be burning, from warm to hot.
boom!
At a certain moment, Li Yuan finished performing the twenty-four-step weapon stance, and chopped with his backhand, causing a loud bang.
call!
With just this one move, the sweat that Li Yuan exhaled and came out of his whole body rose up like steam!
"It's done!"
When the sweat dissipated, Li Yuan was soaked all over, as if he had just been fished out of the water, but his eyes were brighter than ever.
The hot blood rises from the soles of the feet, through the knees and hips, through the shoulders and arms, and reaches the fingertips!
Blood and energy, great success!
