Chapter 68: Hard work pays off
"As a king, I naturally want to share weal and sorrow with my courtiers, what is the point of increasing my feelings by traveling with my courtiers?" Han Ling patted Ji Qing's shoulder with a big grin.
"It's better to ...... After that, Ji Aiqing moved to my house...... Isn't it beautiful to sleep with me every day?"
"No...... I refuse. Ji Qing refused without hesitation.
Because this girl ...... I don't have the consciousness of being a daughter at all.
And they talk about the Tao in the same bed, and sleep on their feet or something...... That picture feels like Ji Qing can feel a chill just by thinking about it.
Seem...... There have been people who have done this before, such as Liu Da'er, he likes to do this, and often eats, lives and sleeps with the talents under his command...... People in this world seem to like to play this game too.
"Okay, don't mess with you, I'm going to train later, so don't follow me today. ”
"Eh, Ji Zhongchen, where are you going to train?"
"It's the kind of training that costs money, and it's gone. After Ji Qing finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Han Ling anymore, he was afraid that if he didn't leave, he might really be dragged to her own residence by this girl......
Everything is expensive in the town, but there are also benefits, such as the facilities and equipment specially designed by the Luoyi School Palace to assist in breaking through the ground lock in order to train the scholars, such as the [Yandao].
This is simply the Wooden Man Alley, from time to time when the trainer enters it, there will be a mysterious strength comparable to the Lock One Realm, and the Wooden Man will come out to interfere with the normal passage of the trainer, so as to hone the reaction and explosiveness of the trainers.
Again, like this...... In a secret chamber filled with mercury, mercury poison is used to stimulate the blood and qi of the trainer's body, squeezing out all the potential of the trainer.
Mercury is a chemical element and is ranked 80th on the periodic table. Commonly known as mercury. There are also other names such as "Bai Lu, Yinnu, Shenjiao, Yuanshui, Lead Essence, Liuzhu, Yuanzhu, Red Mercury, Sand Mercury, Linglu, Living Treasure, Ziming" and so on. The element symbol Hg, which is located in period 6, group IIB in the periodic table of chemical elements, is the only metal that exists in a liquid state at room temperature and pressure (in the strict sense, gallium (symbol Ga, element 31) and cesium (symbol Cs, element 55) are also liquid at room temperature (29.76 °C and 28.44 °C)). Mercury is a silvery-white, shiny, heavy liquid that is chemically stable and insoluble in acids or alkalis. Mercury can evaporate at room temperature, and mercury vapor and mercury compounds are often highly toxic (chronic). Mercury has been used for a long time and has a wide range of uses. In European medieval alchemy, together with sulfur and salt, it is called the sacred three elements of alchemy.
Mercury is found in very small quantities in nature and is considered a rare metal, but mercury has been discovered for a long time. Natural mercury sulfide, also known as cinnabar, has been used as a red pigment for a long time because of its bright red color. According to the oracle bone inscription unearthed in Yinxu, it can be proved that China used natural mercury sulfide before history.
According to ancient Chinese documents, before the death of Qin Shi Huang, some princes had already used mercury infusion in their tombs, such as Qi Huan, who was buried in present-day Linzi County, Shandong, and poured mercury into a pond in his tomb. This means that China had already obtained large quantities of mercury in the 7th century BC or earlier.
In ancient China, mercury was also used as a surgical medicine. The "Fifty-two Prescriptions" in the silk book unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha in later generations, which was copied in the Qin and Han dynasties, is the oldest medical prescription in China that has been excavated, and may be in the Warring States Period. Four of these remedies used mercury. For example, mixed with mercury and realgar to treat scabies.
Both the alchemists of the East and the Alchemists of the West became interested in mercury, a liquid metal. Western alchemists believed that mercury was the common denominator of all metals—the embodiment of metallicity. What they think of as metallicity is the "element" that makes up all metals.
In ancient China, Dansha (that is, mercury sulfide) was calcined in the air to obtain mercury. However, the mercury produced in this way is volatile, difficult to collect, and can cause mercury poisoning to operators. Therefore, the ancient working people accumulated experience in practice and switched to a closed method to make mercury, some of which were sealed in bamboo tubes, and some were sealed in pomegranate jars.
According to the history of Western chemistry, a small tube of mercury was found in an Egyptian tomb, which is a product of the 16th to 15th centuries BC. But the real mercury industry still appeared in ancient China.
In order to seek longevity, the ancient emperors would ask the priests to refine the so-called "elixir", but these elixirs contain mercury, as well as many other multi-metal elements.
Compared to the temptation of immortality...... Healthy what, eat!
So, everyone hiccuped one after another, and a meeting was held in Xudu.
To be honest, when he heard about this kind of training method for the first time, Ji Qing was still a little stunned in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that this was a high-martial arts world, and he could still rely on his own qi and blood to carry it without letting himself be poisoned by mercury poisoning in such a high-concentration mercury confined environment, Ji Qing felt that if he was in this kind of environment, he would definitely burp in less than ten minutes, and he might think that it was a secret room murder scene.
If it were an ordinary person, training in this way would be looking for death.
In order not to be poisoned by these mercury, the trainer must use qi and blood to shield all the pores around the body, and even form an external shock force to shake the mercury away, so as not to further invade the body.
Using these training facilities to boil up the body, one time can be worth ten days of hard training, Ji Qing really wants to continue to use this way to slowly seek opportunities for breakthroughs...... However, the rental prices of these training facilities are not cheap. Eighth Library
It is also thanks to Ling Hao's foresight that he gave him a large sum of money, otherwise he would not even be able to afford to eat now.
"This apprentice, this training hour has arrived, please wait for the mercury water to slowly dissipate before exiting the room. ”
"Alas...... The rent is really expensive, and you can't afford to rent it if you don't have some belongings. Ji Qing was a little deflated.
If Lao Ling were here, he would be able to support himself a little more......
Fortunately, the mountain people have their own clever plans, Shang Li has sent green clothes to send money a few times, and he has also found a way to make money......
It is to explain the mystery to those scholars who did not understand when they lectured that day, and charge a few hundred gold for each lecture to maintain their current expenses, it seems that he is suitable to be a teacher in the future, then again...... The status of a bachelor in this world seems to be similar to that of a teacher.
"The voice of the abyss, the thunder of the abyss...... It means that we should feel the thunderous sound of qi and blood surging at the wrist veins. ”
"I see, I understand everything when I talk about it!"
"It's worthy of being the son of Ji who was praised by Dr. Xuegong that day, so handsome!"
Well, there is no shortage of girls in the audience.
"Hmph, I wasn't in a good state that day, so I didn't understand the doctor's lecture, if I did...... Now I don't know if it's already manifested!" Wei Dan said with some disbelief.
That's right, this guy is also one of the listeners, after all, he is a person of this era, and he can't think like Ji Qing with clear and clear thinking, there are some things...... Naturally, it was impossible for him to understand.
"Hey, you Wei cub, it's good to let you listen to my loyal ministers here, and you're still chattering, if you don't want to listen, leave early!"
"Lao Tzu came to listen to the lecture but gave money, more than 100 gold, why did you drive Lao Tzu away?"
"Do you understand the truth that you are a teacher for one day and a father for life?"
"Father, you're a ghost! I'm paying for a class, it's just a deal. ”
"Ahem...... Everyone, don't argue, there's still plenty of time, we can talk about it later, or ...... I'll tell you a story now. Seeing this, Ji Qing also immediately stood up and diluted the mud, although this Wei Dan is a ruffian, but he does give a lot of money, so Ji Qing is naturally happy to let him pay more, it's a big deal to tell a few more stories to let him balance his mood.
As soon as I heard Ji Qing say that she wanted to tell a story, everyone was interested and sat down spontaneously, looking like students who were about to take a break to go home after the school's final exams......
"Let's talk quickly, when will the peerless master nicknamed Wolf Warrior break through to the realm of transforming gods?"
"As long as he breaks through to the realm of the Transformation Stage Dacheng, he will be able to carry Huaxia Kyushu to shatter the void and dodge the three-legged golden crow that is about to explode!"
In this way, Ji Qing practiced martial arts while making up for his daily expenses in this way, and his life was not too difficult.
Wei Dan, a group of Wei people, finally showed the ground lock, and Han Ling actually began to learn alchemy and alchemy, but Shang Li, who had a heavy study in the school palace, could always find time to see himself.
And their own realm ...... But there was no change, and Ji Qing felt as if she had let her down.
"Rhubarb...... Don't be discouraged...... Keep going...... Not. ”
"Miss, wouldn't it be too hard for you to come to see me when you're tired like this?" Ji Qing looked at Shang Li, who was leaning on his shoulder, and smiled a little bitterly.
But...... It's still early, and as long as you work hard, it will always pay off.
