Chen Zong practices swords, he doesn't like to be disturbed, and the corner of the martial arts training ground is his favorite.

Here, there are several large trees with palm-sized leaves, as if separating this corner from the entire martial arts training ground.

The sword light of the fine iron sword shone, and the sword pierced through the air, making a piercing and sharp sound.

Chen Zong first practiced the Afterimage Sword Technique, the Willow Sword Technique, and the Eagle Fencing Technique ten times each, and then practiced the True Sword Eight Styles twenty times, and then cultivated the First Light Splitting Sword Technique.

The first heavy has seven sword-swinging movements, which need to coordinate the four hands, body, steps and eyes, these seven sword-swinging movements, themselves do not have much power, the main purpose is to mobilize the power of a body of qi and blood, run in a specific way, and finally burst out.

The cultivation of human-level martial arts is like this.

Chen Zong swung his sword over and over again, repeatedly practicing the seven movements of the first weight of the splitting sword technique, striving to make each movement perfect and coherent.

"Human-level martial arts is the use of the power of qi and blood, and each human-level martial art has its own way of running the power of qi and blood, and finally bursts out with different powers and different effects. ”

"For example, the first seven movements of the splitting sword technique that I have cultivated belong to the first guiding style of this sword technique, in order to be familiar with the operation of this kind of qi and blood power, until I am very familiar with it, and I no longer need to guide it to make the power of qi and blood run like this, and it will explode in an instant, so as to perform the first weight of the splitting sword technique. ”

Practicing for three consecutive days made Chen Zong understand the first level of the splitting sword technique very thoroughly, and the difference was only the mastery of the body.

It takes hard work, and it's inevitable for anyone.

"Snapshots!"

With a low shout, the seven sword swings were coherent, completed in just two breaths, and the power of qi and blood surged, running in a strange way, and then exploded.

Out of the sword!

A sword kills, the sword light is dazzling, and it instantly differentiates into two, stabbing left and right, those two sword lights, both are real, leaving light marks in the air, and only dissipating after a breath.

"It's still not enough, at least you have to cultivate to the point where you can use the power of qi and blood with a sword, and you can cast a spectral glimpse when you use a sword, and then you can get started. Chen Zong said secretly: "Sure enough, it is more difficult to cultivate than the foundation building martial arts. ”

Continue to cultivate, allowing your body to remember the sensation of the power of qi and blood until your arms are sore.

After returning to the house and resting for a while, Chen Zong began to practice the Fierce Tiger Gong.

The three beast blood pills had already been eaten, and in the absence of the beast blood pills, the increase in the power of qi and blood was very slow.

"I'll have to find a way to get more Beast Blood Pills. ”

After practicing the Fierce Tiger Skill, Chen Zong thought about it.

After officially becoming a warrior, the contribution point system of the clan hall will be opened.

Contribution points are very useful, they can be exchanged for cultivation qualifications for martial arts, and they can be exchanged for weapons and pills.

The contribution points required for the exchange of a beast blood pill are ten, and the contribution points owned by those who have just become a martial artist to open the contribution point system are generally zero.

It stands to reason that Chen Zong tempered his blood and qi seven times, breaking the previous record of the Chen family and creating a new record, such a talent should be cultivated by the clan hall, but unfortunately, the concept of the Chen family is not so.

No matter who you are, no matter how talented you are, you will be treated equally when you enter the clan hall.

The concept of the Chen family is that if it is a real tiger, sooner or later it will show the power of the king of beasts, otherwise, it can only be seen by the public.

If a tiger wants to become a king, he must go through battles and fights, and if a person wants to become a talent, he must be tempered.

Moreover, Chen Zong did not say anything about refining his blood and qi seven times, and Elder Xing only thought that he had refined it six times.

"Whether you want to get more beast blood pills or cultivate better martial arts, they are inseparable from contribution points. ”

"There is not one way to get contribution points, if you have enough strength, you can hunt demon beasts and exchange them for contribution points with the clan, but for me, this is obviously a bit premature. ”

Now, he has only broken through to the fourth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm not long ago, and he has only begun to cultivate human-level martial arts, whether it is cultivation or strength, he is in a relatively rapid improvement period, and it is not suitable to go out.

"Then, the second way is to find some tasks in the clan hall. ”

"Perhaps, I should go to the main district. ”

There is a task room in the main area, which will list some related tasks, as long as the children of the clan can take them, and after completing them, they can get the corresponding contribution point rewards.

Chen Zong carefully swept over the task panel on the wall.

"Look for the silver thread. Note: Silver thread root is a second-grade herb that can be exchanged for 20 contribution points. ”

"Look for the Golden Flower. Note: Golden Luohua is a three-grade herb that can be exchanged for 40 contribution points. ”

"Look for silver clover ginseng. Note: Silver trifolium ginseng is a four-grade herb that can be exchanged for 80 contribution points. ”

Mostly, it's a quest to find herbs.

The grade of herbal medicine is divided into nine grades, the first grade of herbs refers to the herbs that are more than 10 years old and less than 20 years old, the second grade is more than 20 years old and less than 30 years old, and the third grade is more than 30 years old and less than 40 years old, and so on.

When it reaches a hundred years, the medicinal properties of herbs will undergo qualitative changes, and it is a treasure medicine.

In search of herbs, it is often necessary to go deep into the mountains and old forests, which is quite time-consuming.

The other tasks are to hunt some specific monsters, obtain a certain part of their body and bring it back to the clan, so as to obtain contribution points.

Whether it was looking for herbs or hunting demon beasts, Chen Zong ruled them out for the time being.

Well, there aren't many tasks left.

Looking at it, in the end, Chen Zong chose a task.

"Foundry apprentices, depending on performance, can earn between 10 and 100 contribution points per month. ”

"Are you sure you want this task?" the administrator of the task room looked at Chen Zong with a surprised gaze.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zong asked.

"There were quite a few people who received this task before, but they were driven away after less than a month, and they didn't get any contribution points. The administrator said, "I advise you to change the task." ”

"Is there any reason?" Chen Zong asked again.

"Hehe, the elder of the foundry, he is not very good-tempered, and his requirements are relatively high, and it is difficult to achieve. The administrator laughed.

"Thanks for informing, I'd like to try. Chen Zong still said, retreating without trying, it is not his style.

"Whatever you want. The administrator registered Chen Zong, then took out a black iron plate and handed it to Chen Zong: "This is the apprentice card of the foundry, take it to the Elder Lie of the foundry, and he will arrange your specific tasks." ”

"I'm tired. Chen Zong took the iron plate and left.

The iron plaque resembles a shield, with a raised character for "casting" engraved on one side and a hammer on the other.

"What's wrong with a bad temper?"

"What kind of high law is the high demanding?"

Chen Zong muttered as he strode towards the foundry, which also belonged to the main area and was not far from the task room.

The door of the foundry was black and closed, and Chen Zong knocked.

"Who?" the voice came out, and the door was opened, revealing a face that looked honest, as if he was in his twenties, and his suspicious gaze fell on Chen Zong's face: "Who are you?

"I'm the new apprentice. Chen Zong raised the iron plate in his hand to signal.

"Oh, someone dares to take on this task. As he spoke, the man opened all the doors and let Chen Zong enter: "My name is Chen Wuhou, and I have been here for six months. ”

"His name is Chen Qi, and he has been here for three months. Chen Wuhou pointed to another person in the foundry and smiled.

Chen Qi was wiping a long knife, and when he heard this, he glanced at Chen Zong, his face expressionless.

"Hello two brothers, my name is Chen Zong. Chen Zong introduced himself.

"I'm not interested in knowing your name, because you'll be driven away soon. Chen Qi's tone was very dragged.

"Hehe, don't mind, brother, that's his temper. Chen Wuhou played a round game, but Chen Zong just smiled and didn't care.

"Brother Wuhou, where is Elder Lie?" asked Chen Zong.

"Wait a minute, Elder Lie is forging a sword in the casting room. Chen Wuhou pointed to the closed black heavy iron door in front of him and said.

Chen Zong waited with peace of mind, and after Chen Wuhou poured a glass of water for Chen Zong, he picked up the sword and wiped it carefully, just like Chen Qi, while Chen Zong watched from the side.

The swords here are both mortal iron grade and fine iron grade, but I don't see the treasure iron grade above the fine iron level.

About half an hour later, the heavy iron door opened, and a wave of heat gushed out, causing the indoor temperature to rise rapidly, and then, a not tall but very strong figure strode out.

This person's complexion is like bronze, his eyes are like copper bells, his black hair and beard are a little curly, and his bare arms are bare, and it can be seen that the muscles are like steel cast in iron, containing terrifying power, which immediately brought Chen Zong an indescribable oppression, as if a single look could suppress him, and a finger could shatter him.

"Elder Lie, this person's name is Chen Zong, and he is a new apprentice. Chen Wuhou put down the long sword in his hand and said to the person who came out of the foundry room in a respectful tone.

"Elder Lie. Chen Zong took out the black iron plate and handed it to Elder Lie.

"Little arms and legs, another useless one, you better get out as soon as possible, so as not to make Lao Tzu angry. Elder Lie glanced at the iron card, and quickly looked at Chen Zong, as if he wanted to see Chen Zong through, and his tone was very impulsive.

"Elder Lie hasn't given me a task yet, so how do you know if I'm useful or not. Chen Zong was not afraid.

"Yo, the kid is a little bold, it's good, since you want a task, I'll give you a task, do well and stay, if you don't do well, get out. Elder Lie seemed to be amused, and his tone was vicious: "Give you ten days to make a piece of mortal iron, and you can stay, otherwise, how far and how far can you roll, Chen Wuhou, you will teach him the four keys to striking iron." ”

"Yes, Elder. Chen Wuhou responded respectfully.

"Chen Qi, after wiping the sword, send it to the store. After Elder Lie finished speaking, he walked away.

"Sure enough, my temper is not very good. Chen Zong said secretly, he didn't care, he had heard all the ugly words.

"It is impossible to create a piece of mortal iron in ten days, just to initially master the four keys to iron, it will take at least a month, brother, I advise you not to waste time, it is better to go to the task room to eliminate the task. Chen Wuhou persuaded.

"I still want to try, please teach me Brother Wuhou. Chen Zongzhengse said.

"Since you insist, let me come. Chen Wuhou said, and took Chen Zong into the casting room.

The casting chamber was large and hot, with a total of three furnaces in three directions, but only the largest one burned with a blazing flame, and the other two took turns pulling the bellows and throwing in firewood to keep the flames alive.

"Brother Chen, I will explain to you the four keys to striking iron, and after you master it, you will start to build all iron blocks. Chen Wuhou led Chen Zong to a extinguished furnace, picked up a piece of iron ore and began to demonstrate.
