Volume 1 The Red City Chapter 5 The Refiner

Qingliu got up and straightened out the clothes on his body, looked inwardly again, and carefully looked at the red mang of his spine, which at this time had completely covered the spine from his chest to his waist.

Qingliu only felt that this part of the bones in his body was extremely tough, but the bones that were not covered by the red mangs were very fragile, and what made him feel even more strange was that there was a faint heat flow out of the quenched bones, which made him feel very comfortable.

Looking at the sky, it should be midnight, Qingliu pushed the door out, and was about to go to work in Qingman Building, but Lou Er looked up and saw him, his face changed, and he hurriedly ran to him and pushed him back to the small courtyard.

"Young Master Feng is inside, you don't want to live!" Lou Er said in a low voice.

When Qingliu heard the three words of Young Master Feng, he felt hatred and fear in his heart, tightened his fists, released them again, and asked, "Then what should I do, don't I work?"

Lou Er's face was embarrassed, and he said, "You go and ask the matchmaker steward, I don't know what to do." ”

Lou Er secretly led Qingliu into the pavilion, looked around, and then turned to Qingliu and said, "The matchmaker is in the pavilion, you go up to find her yourself." ”

Qingliu quickly walked up to the pavilion, for fear of being seen by that Young Master Feng. When I arrived at the pavilion, there were no guests in the pavilion, only the matchmaker sat in front of the window, and when she heard someone going upstairs, the matchmaker turned her head to look.

Seeing that the person who came was Qingliu, the matchmaker exhaled lightly, as if she was relieved.

Qingliu slowly walked up to the matchmaker and asked softly, "I... Can you still be a servant in Qingmanlou?"

The matchmaker was stunned when she heard this, puzzled, and after a while, she thought about the reason, and said faintly: "Then the young master of the Feng family is here to deliberately stir up trouble, and he wants to target me Qingmanlou, not you." ”

Qingliu didn't seem to be moved, just tightened his palm, still looking at the matchmaker.

The matchmaker pondered for a moment and said loudly: "You can't be a servant, so let's do it, you are responsible for buying ingredients for Qing Manlou." Originally, Lou Yi was responsible for these things, you go to Lou Yi and let him tell you what to do. ”

Qingliu nodded after hearing this, and was about to turn around and go downstairs, when he suddenly remembered that Young Master Feng was still downstairs, and couldn't help but stop.

Seeing that he was stopped, the matchmaker asked aloud, "What's wrong?"

"That Young Master Feng is still downstairs, I..." replied Qingliu.

After listening to Qingliu's words, the matchmaker's face was slightly annoyed, and she snorted lightly: "When this Feng family saw that I was a woman, they felt that I was weak and deceitful, what a joke." ”

Qingliu sat on the ground and looked at the matchmaker, the matchmaker looked slightly annoyed at this time, but it looked a little charming, and after a while, Qingliu suddenly raised his head and said to the matchmaker: "Sister Hongniang, I have a heavy quenching bone." ”

The matchmaker was still annoyed, and suddenly heard Qingliu's words and was stunned.

"In five days, you're going to be refreshed?" asked the matchmaker in disbelief.

Qingliu's face was expressionless, but he just nodded in a wooden voice.

"Where did you start quenching your bones, how much have you quenched?" the matchmaker hurriedly got up from the chair, walked to Qingliu in two steps, and asked.

Qingliu looked at the matchmaker and said slowly: "It started from the spine of the chest, and it has been quenched from the chest to the waist." ”

After hearing this, the matchmaker looked incredulous, and said, "Take off your shirt and let me take a look." ”

After speaking, he came back to his senses, and couldn't help but blush, but saw Qingliu looking at himself in a daze, and said angrily: "Why are you stunned, stupid? ”

Qingliu took off his shirt as he said, revealing his thin chest. Pointing to his chest, then to his stomach, he said, "That's from here to here, this spine has been quenched." ”

The matchmaker went around the back of Qingliu, stretched out her jade finger, pointed at the spine behind Qingliu, and pressed it hard.

The matchmaker's fingers kept moving behind Qingliu, and it took a long time to hear her say, "Put on your clothes." ”

Qingliu got dressed and looked at her puzzled, the matchmaker sat back in the chair, looked at Qingliu's eyes and said, "Do you know how long it took me to quench my bones?"

Qingliu shook his head, waiting for the matchmaker's answer.

"I started to quench my bones at the age of ten, I started refining my body at the age of sixteen, I started to try to enter the body at the age of twenty, I failed three times, and at the age of twenty-three, I cultivated the Chimang Pill and entered the monarch realm, and now I can only reach the monarch realm. It took me a year from the beginning of bone quenching to the first weight of bone quenching. The matchmaker sighed slowly.

Qingliu was stunned for a long time after hearing this, how could it be, since he had a piece of red mangs in his chest as a traction, he only felt that it was getting easier and easier for him to attract mangs into his body, according to his own estimates, I am afraid that in half a month, he will be able to quench the bones of his whole body and start refining his body.

Qingliu was thinking in his mind, but he heard the matchmaker's voice sound again: "My qualifications are too poor, the mangqi in my body is too mixed, and it is extremely difficult to drive Mangs out of my body. ”

The matchmaker asked Qingliu, and the envy in her eyes became stronger.

There is only one mangqi in his body? Qingliu just thought about it in his head, but he didn't say it, just nodded his head.

"By the way, what did Sister Matchmaker give me when I was injured, and I feel like I was alive thanks to that thing. Suddenly, Qingliu looked up and asked.

Hearing Qingliu mention, the matchmaker glanced at Qingliu and said angrily: "What do you still say, my sister took a mangdan in order to save you, I don't care, you will have to compensate me in the future." ”

"Mandan, that thing in the Mangbeast?" Qingliu asked in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the matchmaker was dumbfounded when she heard this, and asked: "Who told you that Mangdan is from the Mangbeast? What fool can talk nonsense like this." ”

"Thousand... Miss Qianjia said. Qingliu replied.

The matchmaker was speechless for a while, and said: "In the body of the beast, it is the beast mangdan, the difference is one word, but it is very different, the beast mangdan, the original mangshi, and the mangyao all contain mixed mangqi, but the difference is that compared with people, the mangqi contained in these things is relatively single and easier to be used." These things can't be directly absorbed by people, if people absorb these mixed mangqi, it is undoubtedly self-destructive, and if it is more serious, it will affect the mangqi in the body, resulting in the disorder of mangqi, and it will lose a small life. ”

"You said that the girl of the Thousand Family told you that Mangdan is from the Mangbeast?" the matchmaker didn't seem to believe it, and asked Qingliu suspiciously.

Qingliu replied calmly: "That's right, they went to the deep forest mountain range to hunt red-eared monkeys, saying that Namang needed Mangdan, but the elders in the family didn't give it, so they went to get it themselves." ”

After hearing this, the matchmaker nodded thoughtfully, and said: "These two foolish girls, they should be spoiled by their family, why are they so nonsense, if the elders of her thousand families know that she broke through with the beast Mangdan, it is estimated that they have the heart to strangle their sisters." ”

As soon as the words changed, I only heard the matchmaker mutter: "Hongcheng has not had a mangsman for decades, and most of the mangs refiners have their own identities, and they don't want to come to a small place like Hongcheng. ”

Qingliu just listened to the matchmaker talking to herself, and she didn't understand what she was talking about, but when she heard the refiner, she couldn't help asking, "Sister Hongniang, what is the refiner?"

The matchmaker was thinking about the current situation of the major families, and when she heard Qingliu ask, she replied casually: "The person who refines the mangdan is the one who refines the mangdan." ”

When Qingliu heard this, he remembered the powerful effect of mangdan's quenching bones, and suddenly became interested, and said with a flattering smile: "Sister Hongniang, you and I will talk about the mangs." ”

The matchmaker, who had already thought of it, was interrupted by Qingliu again, and turned her head impatiently and was about to answer him casually, but when she saw his flattering expression, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You little guy, there are so many questions, okay, my sister will tell you about it." ”

The matchmaker said in a soft tone, and said quietly: "The refiner refers to a rare type of person, but it is also an indispensable type of person in this world, this kind of person is different from us, not only can drive the mangqi in the body, but also... It can drive away manganese qi from outside the body. ”

Bunching a strand of hair next to her ear back to her ear, the matchmaker continued: "Ordinary people can only drive the mangqi on the surface of the skin, and the mangs are all relied on here, while the mangs refiner can drive the mangqi contained in other things, refine them into pills, and use them for human use." ”

"People usually cultivate mangs like a trickle, but if they encounter a barrier, the usual means of mangs are useless, and they have to find another way, and the most direct is to use mandan, relying on the rich mangqi in mangdan, break through and directly blast the barrier. Speaking of this, the matchmaker paused.

glanced at Qingliu's chest, and said softly: "And Mangdan, there is also one of the most important uses: healing. Mangqi has many uses, strengthening the body is only one of the effects, as long as the mangqi is strong, it can greatly promote the recovery of wounds, so Mangdan is also commonly used to continue life. ”

"It's just that there are no mangdans in this red city, and the mangdans of the major families are all bought outside, but mangdans are scarce, and there are even fewer people who are willing to sell, and there are not many mangdans on me, just a few of them are kept to continue your life, no, I renewed your life a few days ago." The matchmaker turned her head to look at Qingliu and said softly.

got up and straightened out her red dress, and the red lady said apologetically: "I'm afraid you won't be able to be a servant anymore in the future, the Feng family is not something that my sister can afford to mess with for the time being, but don't worry, my sister still cares about your food and accommodation." ”

After speaking, the matchmaker turned around and left the pavilion.

Qingliu waited until dawn in the pavilion, the guests of Qingmanlou left, Feng Tian also left, Qingliu looked at the sunrise in the sky in a daze, only feeling a little angry in his heart, I was afraid that if I met this young master in the future, I would have to take a detour.

Downstairs, Qingliu found Lou Yi and relayed the words of the matchmaker, Lou Yi listened, patted Qingliu on the shoulder, and said: "The people of the Feng family have always been domineering, and I don't blame you, I will take care of you for a while, and wait for the young master of the Feng family to forget about this matter in a few days." ”

Qingliu nodded and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Lou Yi replied: "What you have to do is very simple, that is, go to the auction house on the corner to buy the ingredients used in Qingmanlou, make a list after buying, and hand it over to the matchmaker to steward." ”

"If you are idle, you can also go outside the city to find ingredients by yourself, Qingmanlou is generally purchased at the price of the auction house, which can be regarded as earning some extra mangstones, but remember to remember, don't go too far, there are many powerful mangs in the deep forest mountain range, be careful." Although Lou Yi didn't have any expression, he still said earnestly.

Hearing this, Qingliu nodded in thanks, helped clean the pavilion, and returned to his room.

In the following month, Qingliu went to the auction house in the morning to buy and carry ingredients, and in the afternoon began to repair the mang, and continued to cultivate the mango until midnight before falling asleep.

Although these jobs are much harder than being a floor servant, after all, they have to carry a lot of ingredients every day, but Qingliu is not tired, at least not like a floor servant, who is worried every day, always cautious, and sells his face in front of others.

At dawn of this day, Qingliu sat on the bed, looking inward, at this time, the bones of Qingliu's body were already covered with red mang, and the flesh and blood of his body had also absorbed nearly thirty percent of the red mang.

Qingliu didn't tell the matchmaker about his situation, although the matchmaker asked a few times, but Qingliu was vague and confused, he was an outlier, if he said it, and didn't know how to explain it, it was better not to say it.

After nearly a month and a half, Qingliu also learned that the people of this world quench their bones and refine their bodies, and it is difficult to drive away the mangs, and their mixed mangs are filled with mangs, and their bodies are already full of mangs.

And the most important thing is that they lead the mang, and the mangqi in the body will not take the initiative to pull, all by their own minds, naturally there are thousands of difficulties, and it is extremely difficult to quench the bones and refine the body for three percent.

Qingliu heard from the matchmaker that every time the red mang in the body is more, the difficulty will be doubled, and each success is considered a bottleneck, and it is already difficult to lead the mango to the fifth layer.

But these don't work on Qingliu, the biggest difference between him and others is that he doesn't have mangqi in his body, he only needs to lead mangs into his body, and the time spent will only be half of others, but a single red mang in the body can attract Chimang outside the body, so that Qingliu actually spends only a few tenths of the time of others.

Stretching a lazy waist, Qingliu sat on the edge of the bed and thought that if he wanted to calculate now, he would have to quench his bones ten times, refine his body three times, and his muscles and bones were extremely tough, and Qingliu felt that if he hit the ground with a punch, he could knock out a big hole in the ground of this bluestone slab.

couldn't help but think of Feng Tian, Qingliu shook his palm, and whispered, "When you see this grandson again, you shouldn't be afraid." ”

After cleaning up the house briefly, Qingliu plans to go to the Shenlin Mountain Range today to find out if there is any original miscanthus medicine and see if he can earn some miscanthus stones.

I went to the auction house to buy the ingredients back, and now I am strong and strong, and I can finish the work that I needed to do for half a day a month in just a short time.

The red-eared monkey skins given by the sisters of the thousand families were sold to the auction house, and there were a lot, enough to have 700 miscanthus stones. Qingliu bought a lot of things for supplies, and he planned to spend the night in the Deep Forest Mountains tonight and return to the city at dawn tomorrow.

Out of the city gate, Qingliu walked straight towards the deep forest mountain range, taking out the map as he walked to see where there was a mountain spring.

The purpose of Qingliu's trip is the red liquid fruit, the Yuquan red liquid wine in Qingmanlou is made of the red liquid fruit, this wine is in short supply every day, and the red liquid fruit is also very consumed, and the inventory of the auction house is sold out, but it is still a little insufficient.

This fruit generally grows next to mountain springs, so Qingliu first looks for mountain springs.

It is said that after making fine wine, the mango gas contained in it is more pure, although it is not as good as manganese, but it is also highly sought after.

There was a huge cloth bag folded in Qingliu's backpack, which could be as tall as a person when fully opened, and so wide that the two of them were embraced, and now he had great strength, even if he filled the cloth bag, he could easily carry it.

"If you can go back with such a bag of red liquid fruits, tsk... It's definitely developed. Qingliu grinned to herself.

According to the map, he continued to enter the deep forest mountain range, Qingliu did not dare to go too deep, and the matchmaker had told him thousands of times, so he naturally did not dare to mess around.

In the distance, there was the sound of "whooshing" water, and the sound was gone, but it was a clear spring, gushing out from the crack in the rock, and there were a few red liquid fruit trees scattered by the spring, hanging a few green fruits.

Qingliu is now on the extreme periphery of the deep forest mountain range, there are no mangbeasts, I am afraid that there are often people here to collect, and there is nothing.

After a while, Qingliu walked through the location of the springs marked on the map, and only then could he find seven or eight red liquid fruits, looked at the huge cloth bag in his hand, and then looked at the few fruits in it, Qingliu sat on a rocky mountain, his face gloomy.

"This is the first time you entered the mountain, and you just went back?" Qingliu muttered to himself.

Looking deeper into the mountains, the mountains were verdant with trees, and from time to time there were a few bird chirps, deserted, with no end in sight.

"It's done. Qingliu let out a low sigh and walked towards the depths of the deep forest mountain range.

The map in his hand was on the very periphery of the Deep Forest Mountain Range, and Qingliu walked in for a while, and the map was useless. Putting the map in his pocket, he settled down, and Qingliu walked aimlessly.

After walking for a while, Qingliu suddenly stopped and listened.

"There is the sound of water!" Qingliu grinned and hurriedly ran over to the sound of water.

It is another clear spring, and it is a huge clear spring, the spring water gushes out, "whoosh" sounds, and flows down the rock crack into the clear pool below the spring, and the water splashes everywhere.

There are several tall red liquid fruit trees standing by the pond, and the red and bright fruits are hanging all over the branches, and the eyes of Qingliu are shining brightly, and they are excited.

Qingliu was about to step forward, but saw that on the other side of Qingtan, a mango beast turned its head to look.

The mango beast had two horns on its head, its body was like a giant bull, and it roared, revealing a pair of good teeth, and the fangs were long, and Qingliu was terrified when he saw it, if he was bitten, he would definitely die properly.

Qingliu wanted to run very much, but looking at the red liquid fruit full of trees, he suddenly hesitated.

Seeing that Qingliu was still standing in front of him, the beast immediately raised its head to the sky and roared, and then lowered its head and rushed over with the huge beast horns, frightening Qingliu in place.

When the mangbeast was almost close, Qingliu came back to his senses, jumped sideways, dodged, and the mangbeast rushed all the way and crashed into an old tree, and the old tree "clicked" and broke.

After a failed blow, the beast turned its head and rushed over with a giant horn.

Although the strength of the Mango Beast is great, it is not very flexible, Qingliu is now a triple refining body, and it can be regarded as a quick reaction, and the Mang Beast collided, and he avoided it.

Qingliu wanted to leave, but he was reluctant to let this red liquid fruit, and the mango beast rushed back and forth, just such a move, but Qingliu didn't dare to resist hard, and dodged again and again.

The beast went back and forth more than a dozen, but it didn't even touch the corner of Qingliu's clothes, and its eyes couldn't help but turn red, and it roared again, and rushed over again.

At first, Qingliu was still a little afraid, but after these dozen or so went back and forth, Qingliu was not afraid, and this mangbeast was endless, which made Qingliu very annoyed.

Jumping sideways again, the green stream flashed past the mangbeast.

was really angry, Qingliu raised his hand and punched him to death, hitting the body of the mangbeast, and shouted: "You beast is endless." ”

As if it had been hit hard, the beast staggered sideways a few times, and fell to the edge of the waterhole, wailing incessantly.

Qingliu retracted his fist, dumbfounded.
