The days of settling down flew by, and more than a year passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past year, Yin Shan has been constantly rectifying the matter of taking over Nanfeng City, and he has no time to pay attention to the outside, and because he was too indulgent in killing his subordinates at the beginning, Nanfeng City is almost an empty city after taking over now. And because the taxes and regulations in Yinshan were even harsher than those before the Lin family, the recovery and reconstruction of Nanfeng City for more than a year was extremely slow, and Yinshan was completely slow.

Liu Li also recovered early in the past year or so, with the materials left by Chen Zhiyuan and the teachings of the old students, Liu Li's cultivation progress is also very fast, at least faster than when Chen Zhiyuan was fighting alone, but he still failed to catch up with Chen Zhiyuan.

In some of the villages below, nothing happened, everyone is living as usual, what should be done every day or what is done, although the big people above the head have changed, but life has basically not changed.

In the past year or so, in addition to mining to find silkworms and going hunting with Mo He, the most important thing is to digest the materials that he grabbed before.

There are a lot of things to rob, in addition to all kinds of materials, money and equipment, there are also all kinds of exercise books, Chen Zhiyuan can't practice every one, he can only choose some suitable ones for himself to try, if you get started quickly, then learn.

In Chen Zhiyuan's plan, so many exercises need to be selected according to their own needs and shortcomings.

The first thing to choose was the body method exercises, including a total of three books of Yinshan Yanwutang, Chen Zhiyuan chose a body method called "Treading Water" as his current cultivation focus.

"Treading Water" is a more conventional body method, mainly focusing on the improvement of speed, according to the description in this body method, practice to the end, in fact, you can tread water without a trace.

Chen Zhiyuan doesn't expect that he can practice to the final realm Chen Zhiyuan just wants him to run faster when he wants to run in the future, so "Treading Water", which takes into account both durability and explosion, has become Chen Zhiyuan's best choice.

Chen Zhiyuan also chose a book of attack exercises, called "The Mountain Knife".

The name is very rustic, but Chen Zhiyuan likes it very much, because the moves of "Mountain Knife" are very simple, and the power is not bad, and the momentum is also very strong. Although he is a little lacking in skills, Chen Zhiyuan feels that it is almost enough for him at this stage, and the other exercises are almost the same anyway.

Of course, Chen Zhiyuan also made up a set of exercises for the black needle, saying that it was an exercise, but it was actually a patchwork of some moves. The most attacking exercises in Chen Zhiyuan's hands are actually sword duels, after all, the sword is better to play, and running around with a sword on his back will not make others feel anything, unlike carrying a knife on his back, people will think that this person is very rough, carrying a stick on his back will think that you are very reckless, and inserting two daggers will be thought that you are sinister.

The main way to use the black needle is still thorns, as well as strokes, so after Chen Zhiyuan referred to other exercises, he picked out a small part of the over-thorns and strokes, and only learned their power skills, and the way of using spiritual power can only be seen, not copied, so he has to slowly adjust it according to his own use.

As for the exercises he majored in, Chen Zhiyuan did not choose other cultivation. There are so many storage bags, there are naturally other cultivation methods, but Chen Zhiyuan mainly considers two problems.

First, it takes a certain amount of time to convert the exercises, and you must re-familiarize yourself with the characteristics of this exercise, which means that your strength during this period of time may not rise but fall, because the meridians in the body have not yet been finalized, and the spiritual power cultivated before the conversion of the exercises may slowly dissipate due to the different attributes of the exercises, which is also one of the reasons why Qi practitioners are generally reluctant to convert the exercises.

Second, now Chen Zhiyuan is practicing three exercises, and the spiritual power cultivated by these three exercises is no different, which means that if Chen Zhiyuan is willing, he can actually use three times as long to cultivate in a day, although the effect may be somewhat reduced, but the final result is still much better than other exercises of the same quality.

Although Chen Zhiyuan couldn't completely achieve the effect of proficiency in these things for more than a year, there was no problem in getting started and using them. As for cultivation, because of the spirit stones in the storage bag, Chen Zhiyuan's cultivation has also maintained a rapid growth momentum for more than a year, and this time, Chen Zhiyuan really feels that he is not far away from building a foundation.

"If you have time, you can prepare more food and water, this time we are going to a bit far. ”

The cooperation between Mo He and Chen Zhiyuan has been very tacit, and after more than a year of running-in, the hunting range of the two has gradually expanded from a hundred miles near the mountain gate to more than three hundred miles deep into Nanfeng Mountain.

Nanfeng Mountain does not just refer to that mountain, but refers to this contiguous uninhabited mountain area, of course, there may be people in the middle, but because I have not met it much, so I call it according to my own habits.

"Okay. ”

Chen Zhiyuan did not look back, still busy with the work at hand. Mo He didn't know that Chen Zhiyuan had so many storage bags, and because of the exercises, Chen Zhiyuan had three storage bags full of food.

After counting the equipment, and then using the rope to tie up the clothes on the hands and feet, the whole person looked much more capable, and after a little movement and adjustment of clothing, Chen Zhiyuan caught up with Mo He and headed towards the depths of Nanfeng Mountain.

Now Mo He can control four wooden birds at once to explore the way, and there are also two puppet snakes on the ground. The beasts encountered along the way were ignored by the two, because they no longer looked down on these ordinary beasts, and the only ones that could make the two of them move were those beasts with spiritual power in their bodies.

There was no road, and they had to be vigilant, but the two still arrived at their destination on the third day.

This is where the two of them came last time when they were chasing prey, and the reason why they came back this time is because the aura in this area is much stronger than in other areas, and there is no shortage of water, plants or anything, so they estimate that there will be some suitable prey here, and even spirit beasts are possible.

So when Chen Zhiyuan and the two went out this time, they brought one more thing than usual, a spirit needle.

The two of them found a clean place, then set up their tents, and took out the spirit probe needle to start searching.

The Soul Detector is a gadget similar to a compass, a small compass covered with runes with a thin needle, one end stained with cinnabar turned red, and the other end is black of black iron. When using it, you need to inject spiritual power to activate the rune inside, and the red needle tip will slowly point to the nearest place where the spiritual power is most intense. To put it bluntly, it is a special kind of compass, but it is not a compass, but a direction with more intense spiritual power.

Chen Zhi leveled the spirit probe needle and injected spiritual power into it, and then the tip of the spirit probe needle began to move slowly, indicating the direction of the river not far away.

In order to avoid finding the wrong place, Chen Zhiyuan also specially swam across the river to confirm, and finally affirmed that the spirit probe needle was pointing at the river, and it had not moved. It seems that there is a little difference from what the two of them thought at the beginning, they originally came to find the spirit beast, but now they may have found a place where the treasure is buried.

This is a bit troublesome, the river is relatively fast, although the river is not deep, but it is also Chen Zhiyuan's neck deep. And the river is so wide and so wide, how can you find this?

Mo He didn't have much to do, the puppet fish went into the water, and all he saw was a stone, and the puppet snake was thrown down, and it was difficult to touch anything, so the two of them could only go into the water to find it in person.

Fortunately, the spirit probe needle only pointed to this small section of the river, so the two of them didn't have to look for the whole river, just touch this small area well.

Because they didn't know what it was, it was a little difficult to find, and soon the two of them touched the river from day to night, and still found nothing but stones.

But soon things changed.

When night falls, some small spots of light slowly appear under the river, although the light is not very bright, but it is quite conspicuous compared to other areas.

"What's that glowing? Is that what we're looking for?" Chen Zhiyuan pointed in the direction near the middle of the river, where there were many small light blue dots of light.

"I don't know, we can go and see. As Mo He spoke, he released the puppet snake and swam towards the place where there was light in the water.

It didn't take long for the puppet snake to swim back and spit out a glowing stone from its mouth.

"What is this?" Chen Zhiyuan picked up the stone with his hand and looked at it carefully, he didn't see anything, and he didn't feel any aura, but it was a stone that had nothing but was glowing, which was very unusual.

"Cut it open and see. Mo He thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out what it was, so he suggested that Chen Zhiyuan cut it open and take a look.

Chen Zhiyuan took out a heavy long knife from the storage bag, fixed the glowing stone on the ground, and began to tap on the stone slightly.

With a "click", with Chen Zhiyuan's continuous blows, the stone finally couldn't bear it anymore, and it cracked all of a sudden, and the light on the stone suddenly brightened, and then dimmed.

After all, the two of them were not ordinary people, and they could see clearly what had just happened even with the help of a faint light.

It was a small piece of flesh foot, and after Chen Zhiyuan knocked on the stone, the meat foot retracted to the side of the stone.

"It's a bit like a snail, but how can a snail grow in a stone?" Chen Zhiyuan felt a little strange, even if the stone was broken and it was a spirit stone, a gem, or a jade, he wouldn't feel that there was any problem, but a piece of meat, what was this? When did the stone start to grow flesh?

"Check if there is anything in the Hundred Things, I seem to remember some impressions. Mo He was a little familiar when he saw this, but he really couldn't remember what it was, as if he clearly remembered that there was something in your mind, and he could vaguely feel it, but he just couldn't remember it.

Chen Zhiyuan took out the thick book of "Hundred Things" from the storage bag, although Chen Zhiyuan had read it several times, but there were too many things in it, and some of them were really not very common, so Chen Zhiyuan couldn't memorize them all.

After slowly searching for a while, Chen Zhiyuan finally found out what this thing was.

"Shimmer snails, like to live at the bottom of the river, often wrap their bodies with sand and stones, so they look like ordinary stones on the outside, and after peeling them off, you can see the appearance of the shimmer snail itself, and it will glow at night, so it is called a shimmer snail. Chen Zhiyuan read it out according to the book, and Mo He was also listening.

"What level, what's the use?" "It doesn't make sense to know the name and appearance, you have to know what level of thing and what it is used for.

"Oh, it says that it can barely be regarded as a first-order spirit beast, and it is useful, it seems to be raised at home to look good and eat. ”

Barely a first-order spirit beast, that is, it is not a first-order spirit beast, after all, the spirit beasts that are often said are all first-order starts, corresponding to the cultivation of the foundation, this reluctance means that there is spiritual power in the body, but it has not yet reached the standard of the spirit beast, and there are the most things of this level in the "Hundred Things".
