Chapter 7: Unexpected Advancement
Forging Feng Ping, Xiao Han quickly pulled the bellows, and the rising furnace fire devoured the sword body, causing its temperature to rise sharply, while Zang Wufeng stared closely at the changes in the sword body. Suddenly, he quickly pulled out www.biquge.info his sword embryo and looked at it, and then plunged it into the earthen pool filled with black powder on the side. After a moment, he pulled it out and looked at it again, then lifted the jar and poured the liquor slowly over the sword.
When the wine is steaming, it makes a "snort" sound. Half a jar of spirits was poured out, and the smell of wine dissipated. At this time, Xiao Han saw a shadow-colored sword, revealing a trace of cold air under the illumination of the sun.
Zang Wufeng took a closer look, nodded with satisfaction, and then sat on a small stool without saying a word, quietly polishing it.
Looking at Zang Wufeng, who was seriously polishing the sword body, Xiao Han suddenly found that the person in front of him didn't seem to show tiredness from beginning to end, even if he was sweating, he didn't show a trace of boredom. This seems extremely unusual, you must know that as a martial artist in the Bone Refining Realm, he is still panting like an ox after forging hundreds of times, not to mention that he is a blacksmith? It seems that the seemingly ordinary blacksmith in front of him is by no means a simple person.
The dog days of June were particularly scorching, and the sunlight seemed to burn like an invisible flame everywhere. Forging Feng Ping, Xiao Han was quietly watching Zang Wufeng polish the blade carefully, not affected by the scorching sun at all. And Xiao Xue was holding two strings of sugar gourds, with a happy look on her face, and she didn't feel the heat at all.
Time passed little by little in the sound of cicadas, and the people who stood still waited for more than two hours to finally wait for the flowers of hope to bloom. I saw that after Zang Wufeng repeatedly and carefully polished the sword, he installed a suitable hilt for it. With a flick of his fingers, the sword body immediately emitted a dragon groan, crisp and loud.
Zang Wufeng closed his eyes and listened, and after a while, he casually threw the sword to Xiao Han, and said lightly: "Use soft leather or sandalwood as a sheath to avoid damaging the blade!"
"Yes!"
Taking the sword, Xiao Han stared at it, only to see that the sword body returned to its original form, revealing a lightless shadow gray, reaching three feet. Holding this sword, Xiao Han suppressed the feeling of wanting to swing the sword, and said respectfully to Zang Wufeng: "I don't know how much this sword is worth?"
"I've got you!"
An understatement, Xiao Han couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it: "Send me?"
"Boy, I've heard about you, this sword power should be my admiration for you!"
Looking at Zang Wufeng, who was still calm, Xiao Han was sincerely grateful: "Thank you seniors!" If there is nothing else, Xiao Han will leave first! ”
"Hmm!"
Bidding farewell to Zang Wufeng, Xiao Han did not take Xiao Xue directly back to the Xiao family, but spent five taels of silver to buy two large jars of old wine, and returned to Zang Wufeng. Although Zang Wufeng didn't say anything, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
After returning to Xiao's house, Xiao Han immediately held his sword and danced in the courtyard. I saw that between the movements of his sword, he was either light and agile, elegant and agile; Or sink like an abyss, steady as a mountain, and show the unworldly style. After a set of swordsmanship, compared with before, there is obviously a trace of agility and speed. Maybe that's the nature of the sword, he thought.
Xiao Han looked at the sky, it was already dusk, and he went into the roof to see Xiao Jianlong. Xiao Jianlong looked at the sword made by Zang Wufeng, nodded and said, "Good sword!" Good sword! Did you get a name for the sword? ”
Xiao Han shook his head and said, "The predecessor only gave the sword, not the name."
"Give a sword? It is indeed his character! Hearing that it was a gift of swords, not a purchase of swords, Xiao Jianlong didn't seem to be surprised at all, but said lightly: "This sword, the light is restrained, the whole body is gray and black, not as dazzling as its sword, since it is still a nameless sword, it is called Fengying!"
"Blade! Hidden! Good name! From today onwards, I also have a sword of my own! Xiao Han said happily.
With joy, Xiao Han returned to his house and gently stroked the Blade Shadow Sword, unable to put it down. However, he immediately smelled a strange smell emanating from his body. Thinking that when he swung the hammer before, his sweat was already soaked all over, and now it was still a little sticky, so he immediately went to fetch a large bucket of water. Untied his clothes and lay down in the bathtub, Xiao Han still felt that the air was full of stuffiness, and even the water in the bathtub was a little warm, so he casually picked up the blue and white jade beads on the side. Suddenly, a coolness swept through his body, which made him feel relieved, and he closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, the originally clear bath water began to turn into a faint milky white, and slowly the milky white bath water became thicker, and finally rotated rapidly around Xiao Han's body, and some milky white liquid quickly drilled into his pores.
Just as those milky white liquids entered Xiao Han's body, the muscles in his body contracted as if they had been violently stimulated. Immediately afterward, the slightly black sweat poured out like raindrops, gathered together, and all flowed into the tub. And after those black sweat drops, Xiao Han's originally black and yellow skin became as smooth and white as jade.
The swirling water didn't last long, and after about half an hour, it gradually calmed down. And in less than a cup of tea when the bath water quieted down, the sleeping Xiao Han slowly opened his eyes.
Stretching his waist, Xiao Han was surprised to find that his skin not only turned white, but even the soreness on his arm caused by the hammer had disappeared. Just when he was in doubt, something even more incredible happened to him. He faintly felt that there was a gas different from blood flowing in his veins, making the veins around his body seem to be squirming slightly.
"It's... Refining Muscle Realm? How is this possible? ”
Xiao Han looked at himself in disbelief, but the extra powerful power in his body really told him that you had broken through to the Muscle Refining Realm.
In the Nine Folds of Body Refining, the Refining Muscle Realm not only refers to strengthening one's own tendons and veins, but more importantly, it is to open up the Qi veins. After opening up the qi veins, the body will instinctively absorb the free vitality in the heaven and earth, and then through the physical strength again and flow through the internal organs, and finally converge in the dantian to achieve the qi refining realm. And after achieving the Qi Refining Realm, you can freely absorb the Yuan Qi, and the power of the Yuan Qi is many times stronger than the physical body.
While rejoicing in the breakthrough of his own strength again, Xiao Han was also keenly aware of the possible reasons for this incident. He looked at the jet-black bath water, and then at the jade bead in his hand, and a bold idea came to his heart. He thought that when he fell asleep unconsciously, the jade bead also sank into the water with the sinking of his hand. Perhaps during the time when he was asleep, Yuzhu showed other magical functions that he didn't know about, helping him break through to the Muscle Refining Realm. And the blackened water is the key and the evidence.
Thinking of this, Xiao Han immediately jumped out of the bathtub, wiped his body casually, and ran to the table after the clothes on his body. I saw him lift the kettle, pour a bowl of water, wash the jade beads carefully, and then put the jade beads into the bowl with water. After doing all this, he waited slowly.
In the process of waiting, Xiao Han's heart couldn't help beating rapidly. He thought that if his conjecture was correct, then the value of this jade bead would exceed the original estimate, and even become a peerless treasure.
As time passed, after about a quarter of an hour, the water in the bowl began to turn milky white. As time went on, the water in the bowl became thicker, like cow's milk. At this time, Xiao Han felt that it was almost over, so he carefully scooped up the jade beads, took the bowl of water that had changed its appearance, and looked at it carefully.
Xiao Han sniffed it, only to feel that the milk-like water in the bowl exuded a faint fragrance, and it went straight to his head along his nose, making his Lingtai feel clear. Although I already have an idea in my mind, after all, it is only an assumption, and everything can be variable until it is proven definitely.
Looking at the bathtub on the side, and then at himself, Xiao Han already knew in his heart that this bowl of water that had changed its appearance must be helpful, not harmful. Thinking of this, he was sure in his heart, and took a shallow sip of the bowl of water. Although he was judged to be helpful, he still had a hint of apprehension, so he only took a small sip.
The milk-like water, a little sweet, turned into a stream of heat when it entered the throat, filling Xiao Han's limbs and bones. Suddenly, he only felt the strength in his body, and it was a little stronger. Seeing that his idea had come true, he was overjoyed, and drank all the remaining water in the bowl. Just when he was expecting his strength to go to the next level, he only felt a tingling pain in the muscles and veins of his body, and a mouthful of blood immediately spurted out.
