Chapter 37: The Year of Wuchen Arrives

Chen Tao never thought that alchemy would have this benefit. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, it is not an exaggeration to think about it carefully, in the process of alchemy, he has refined his true qi many times, and at the same time, he has also exercised the control of his true qi, and over time, not only has his true qi become more mellow, but the consumption can also drop a lot when casting spells.

The side benefit is that he has directly raised his cultivation to the seventh level of Qi cultivation, and it took Liu Xin several years to reach the realm, which he has already reached in just three or four months. Not to mention the mellow true qi, now that he is an orthodox Taoist cultivator, some people believe it, compared with the unstable true qi of the demon cultivator, there is a world of difference.

Perhaps, this is the traditional cultivation mode of demon cultivation, right? It is precisely because of the fastest cultivation that the realm is unstable. In order to make up for this problem, through alchemy or refining, the true qi is tempered and mellowed.

However, alchemy and alchemy have long been lost, at least Liu Xin has never heard of these two things, so Chen Tao thinks that today's demon cultivation is only afraid that there is no way to achieve positive results in the true sense.

Alchemy has such benefits, so what kind of surprises will talismans, refining weapons or formations bring?

In the next few days, the Xin brothers, and even Long Er, rarely saw Chen Tao leave the alchemy room. If it weren't for the fact that food was sent in every day, and a batch of pills were shipped out one after another as military rewards, many people would have to wonder if there was something wrong with him inside.

In the past few days, Chen Tao has tested the refining tools, talismans and formations, but the imperial beast can't find a suitable spirit beast, so he can only give up.

After experiments, it was found that the refining tool can improve the perception of different kinds of energy, improve the efficiency of true qi transformation and the power of law decision; Spells can improve the perception of the magic seal, and in a few days, he successfully streamlined the two magic seals of the poison claw spell, so that the release speed of the poison claw spell increased by ten percent, don't look at the improvement is not much, and a few tenths of a second in the battle is sometimes the key to victory.

The improvement effect of the formation is not very obvious, and it may be that there is a certain aspect involved that I have not been deeply exposed to.

After a few days, he was also exhausted, but considering the auxiliary effect of the side business on the main business, he definitely focused on cultivating pills, minor talismans, and cultivating tools and formations. The Royal Beast was indeed not favored by him, and he still didn't try.

After a few days, he finally walked out of the alchemy room, and the whole person was a lot sloppy. The Wind Spell in the novel is a deception at all, at least there is no such magical spell in the secret book he inherited.

In the end, I had to take a shower to clean up the smell on my body.

At the same time, they found the Xin brothers to inquire about the situation of the nearest stronghold, and recruited Long Er and Zhang He to inquire about the situation of the army.

It is understood that although it is winter now, there is no case of anyone freezing to death in the state-related stronghold. By the way, the Xin brothers also flattered a few words, saying that Chen Tao was benevolent and righteous. After all, several other small strongholds have been frozen to death.

The army has been properly trained, and according to Zhang He, there is no point in continuing to train those soldiers, at most they will only maintain their combat effectiveness at the present stage. What they need is a real war. Only through the tempering of iron and blood can we become stronger, otherwise we will be a group of goods.

It is gratifying that the four hundred martial cultivators are already third-rate generals, many of them have reached the middle stage of the third rate, and a few have even reached the late stage of the third rate, which is not far from the second rate.

Gao Ran also touched the threshold of first-class generals, and Zhang He reached the realm of super-first-class.

This is actually nothing to be happy about, after all, the innate martial arts general is only at the level of the fourth level of Qi training. The path of martial cultivation has not been very easy to follow, and the innate is just the starting point of the cultivation path.

However, martial cultivation also has the benefits of martial cultivation, and Zhang He, who is in the super-first-class realm, is already comparable to a demon cultivator at the fifth or even sixth level of qi training in terms of melee ability. At least the two Xin brothers don't use spells, and they can only hold out for ten rounds under Zhang He.

A strong body, as well as powerful melee martial arts, is the foundation of martial arts that Wu Xiu is proud of.

Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year in 188 AD. It's just that the imperial court is gone, and the middle and ordinary years are naturally not counted, so everyone prefers to call it the Wuchen year.

It is impossible for Chen Tao to remember the history related to this year, after all, he does not study history deeply. But even if you know, it doesn't make any sense, after all, I'm afraid it won't appear again.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, considering that except for Old Man Yin, everyone was not married, so Chen Tao asked everyone to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in his mansion. At that time, Chen Taoke prepared a lot of dumpling wrappers and meat fillings, and then pulled a few of them to be strong men, and everyone made dumplings together.

Strictly speaking, there was already a crescent-shaped pasta called 'wonton' this year, but it just didn't become popular. Many people are making dumplings for the first time, and they have a different taste.

Seeing the historical generals and Wenchen making dumplings under their own guidance, the scene also looked quite fulfilling. 'It's not as delicious as dumplings', in fact, dumplings are indeed the best food these days, and ordinary people really can't eat them.

The table was the Eight Immortals Table, which was the first time that everyone except Chen Tao did not separate their seats, but sat together. Especially there are things like chairs, which are really comfortable to make, at least very popular with children like Long Er and Yin Kai.

It's that Yin Ping feels that sitting like this is inevitably a bit messed up with etiquette, but seeing Chen Tao happy, it's hard to say anything. At most, remind his excited grandson Yin Kai and let him behave better.

"Lord, what is this red thing?" Watching Chen Tao chop chili peppers and put them into the sauce, Long Er couldn't help but ask.

"You'll know if you've tasted it!" Chen Tao pushed the sauce in front of them with an evil smile, and then picked up a dumpling and dipped it in the sauce, and ate it beautifully, looking like he was enjoying it.

Long Er also learned to dip it, and then ate it, but only let his lips touch the thing, and immediately jumped up, and circled around the table, while constantly shouting, "It's spicy!" ”

Completely different from ginger, garlic or dogwood, it is a high level of stimulation, only to feel that the taste constantly stimulates the taste buds, and then constantly sublimates to a higher level. But after getting used to it suddenly, it doesn't seem to be too bad.

After going around a few times, Long Er actually sat back and ate again.

He had begun to get used to the pungent taste, and he felt that it was indeed good. But in the end, it was the first time I ate chili, and I cried tears while eating, but I continued to eat dumplings, which was very funny.

Several other people watched Chen Tao eating dumplings comfortably, and then looked at Long Er, who was tearful but still dipping into the sauce, and suddenly had mixed feelings. I only feel that if I get it, I am afraid that I will be as embarrassed as Long Er. But if you don't eat it, it's inevitable that you'll be a little curious.

In the end, Zhang He was braver and tried it briefly, but the result was indeed a lot more stable than Long Er, but he didn't run, but his face was indeed very strange, and he even had a distorted feeling for a moment.

Some people can't stand this thing with chili peppers, and finally Xin Bi said that he couldn't accept this thing, so he could only eat dumplings. Among the other people, Yin Ping is old and has a bad stomach, and he has no love for chili peppers. On the contrary, the two little children ate the most happily, and the other people had no problem eating.

In addition to dumplings, there are also chicken, duck and fish, especially fish, which is a symbol of 'more than one year in a row'. The meal lasted about an hour and then finally came to an end.

"The year of Wuchen is coming, and on the occasion of the new year, Jin wishes us a further great cause! Also, knock him over Han Fu! Chen Tao raised his glass and said solemnly to everyone.

"As the lord wishes!" Everyone was not used to this situation, and finally replied under the leadership of Yin Ping.

With a full glass of wine, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is almost coming to an end. Everyone has their own mansions, and under the pick-up and drop-off of the family, they returned to their homes, and of course they brought back a lot of gifts, all of which were given to them by Chen Tao.

The value is not great, but this is a gift from the lord to his subordinates, and this heart also makes these people grateful.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Tao personally presided over the ceremony of worshiping the heavens, praying that the wind and rain would be smooth this year, and the people would no longer be afraid. Although he knew in his heart that it was actually useless. To create a good life, you still have to rely on your hands.

On this day, as long as the people in the country-related strongholds, whether they were the main stronghold or the sub-strongholds below, they all got three catties of grain. It cost a few crystals for this, but what was reaped was the loyalty of the people.

After all, in these years, food has always been in short supply, and warlords from all over the country have changed their ways to scavenge for food, but Chen Tao is different, he gave them food instead. Although the food is not much, they are grateful, and sometimes the people's requirements are really not high.

Various small bases also sent a congratulatory gift to Chen Tao, which was of little value, but showed that they were really willing to belong to Chen Tao. For Chen Tao, who has occupied the state-related stronghold for only four months, this is a good phenomenon.
